Break the Ice
(Music & Words by Tolkki/Lassila)
Why do you stare at me?
It's hard to please when you're feeling ill at ease
Hey let it go
You have feelings inside let them show
Grim craven mind
Timid all the time
Can't come out of your shell
It's hell
It's time to break the ice
It's time to break the ice
Shame, shame on you
There are so many things that you could do
Hey can't you see?
Love is a stream that endlessly flows in me
Grim craven mind
Timid all the time
Can't come out of your shell
It's hell
It's time to break the ice
It's time to break the ice
It's time to break the ice
It's time to break the ice
It's time to break the ice
It's time to break the ice
It's time to break the ice
It's time to break the ice
Break the ice
Break the ice
Break the ice
The Hands Of Time
(Music & Words by Tolkki/Lassila)
The time is running
It's running so fast
That you don't notice years are passing by
And you're growing older
What happened to all your dreams?
Did they become true at all?
We cannot undo the deeds of the years
They leave you on your own
With all your deepest fears
Don't look for the future
Don't live in the past
Just take it day by day 'cause life goes fast
The minutes, the hours
The days and the years will fly so
Live still when you have the time
We cannot undo the deeds of the years
They leave you on your own
With all your deepest fears
Wheel of the time
Turns again tonight
Eternally
Decides our destiny
Wheel of the time
Turns again tonight
Without reason or rhyme
The hands of time
Yeeeah
We cannot undo the deeds of the years
They leave you on your own
With all your deepest fears
Wheel of the time
Turns again tonight
Eternally
Decides our destiny
Wheel of the time
Turns again tonight
Without reason or rhyme
The hands of time
Yeeeah ooooooh
Yeeeeeah
Without reason or rhyme
Wheel of the time
Turns again tonight
Eternally
The hands of time
Madness Strikes at Midnight
(Words & Music by Tolkki)
He's crawling out from the asylum
Under cover of the night
Insanity of his crazy mind
It's useless for you now to hide
Walking the streets someone's in sight
He's waiting for you in the night
Hiding in the shadows, hiding in the alleys
He's ready to kill tonight
So lock your doors and hide
And pray your god 'cause you're not alone
Years he spent in the cage
They did not help him at all
Now today with the power of his rage
He's slaughtering people tonight
Walking the streets someone's in sight
He's waiting for you in the night
Hiding in the shadows, hiding in the alleys
He's ready to kill tonight
So lock your doors and hide
And pray your god 'cause you're not alone
Madness strikes at midnight
Madness strikes at night
Madness strikes at midnight
Madness strikes at night
So lock your doors and hide
And pray your god 'cause you're not alone
Madness strikes at midnight
Madness strikes at night
Madness strikes at midnight
Madness strikes at night
Madness strikes at midnight
Madness strikes at night
Madness strikes at midnight
Madness strikes at night

Twilight Time
(Music & Words by Tolkki/Lassila)
Danger zone
I look into the mirror see my
Face again
I hear myself preaching
You are getting bold
Growing old
Skin turns cold
You're to blame
But I will find the way to be
Myself again
I break the mirror with a noise
Stop preaching me
Teaching me
Leave me be
There's no way to stop me now
My end is in sight
I reach for the light
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Twilight time
It's twilight time
Reaching for a morning light
It's twilight time
It's twilight time
It's twilight time
Reaching for a morning light
It's twilight time
It's twilight time
It's twilight time
Reaching for a morning light
It's twilight time
Twilight time
It's twilight time
Reaching for a morning light
It's twilight time
The Hills Have Eyes
(Music & Words by Tolkki/Lassila)
Come with me my child
It's gonna take a little while
To teach you the knowledge
Of the ancient rhyme
Fly with me tonight
Through the cosmic sea
It's a mystery
From the thirst for life
You will never keep away
Pleasure of one man
Makes another man a prey
Fly with me tonight
Through the cosmic sea
It's a mystery
The hills have eyes
Mind your step you'll better be wise
Or you never
Rise again
The hills have eyes
Never forgive nor compromise
You fail in vain
The hills have eyes
Mind your step you'll better be wise
Or you never
Rise again
The hills have eyes
Never forgive nor compromise
You fail in vain
Out Of the Shadows
(Words & Music by Tolkki/Lassila)
Out to the light from the mist from the shadows I go
Facing the new world the odd things the places unknown
Far away I sail away today
Seeing a new face impression the moment the thought
Unarmed and naked defendless my mind is caught
Far away it sails away today
Out of the shadows we go
There's no reason
To hide anymore
Out of the shadows we go
Into the new horizon
Towards the new shore
We go
Out of the shadows we go
There's no reason
To hide anymore
Out of the shadows we go
Into the new horizon
Towards the new shore
We go
