Средненько, но не плохо, не плохо... Лучшая вещь - Celestial Dream. А вот "Феникса" драмсовыми вывихами только испоганили: зря, без них песня была бы в разы слушабельней.
2Girl: Да, это - музыка. В отличии от того, что делают Emperor.

LYRICA:
HUNTING HIGH AND LOW
(Music: Tolkki / Lyrics: Kotipelto)
I feel the wind in my hair, and it's whispering, telling me things, of the storm that is gathering near. Full of power I'm spreading my wings.
Now I'm leaving my worries behind. Feel the freedom of body and mind I have started my journey. I'm drifting away with the wind I go...
I am Hunting High and Low.
Diving from the sky above looking for, more and more.
Once again Iґm Hunting High and Low.
Sometimes I may win sometimes Iґll lose Itґs just a game that I play.
After the storm thereґs a calm. Through the clouds shines a ray of the sun. I am carried from all of my harm there is no-one that I can't outrun.
Now Iґm leaving my worries behind- Feel the freedom of body and mind I have started my journey. I'm drifting away with the wind I fly.
More that I live More clear itґs each day. We got to change our ways. There is no way to go back anymore. Eons rumble through space.
We must find new ways to live. I know thereґs so much more to give
Millennium - Where do we go?
Millennium - Time will show
Forevermore - The light will be guiding our journey
Millennium - Show us the way
Millennium - To the new day
Forevermore - Give us a chance to change
People may come and people may go But dance of time is eternal. What is the meaning of this cosmic play? Will we see another day?
We must find new ways to live. I know thereґs so much more to give
Millennium - Where do we go?
Millennium - Time will show
Forevermore - The light will be guiding our journey
Millennium - Show us the way
Millennium - To the new day
Forevermore - Give us a chance to change
Time waits for no one. So they say. It goes on forever.
The tears of pain I see in your eyes How can we change for the better?
Hate and greed`s getting stronger day by day Injustice rules the world Killing the lungs of the Earth How far are we prepared to go?
I have seen the Light. It came into my life. Thereґs no second chance. We should have learned by now. But itґs not too late to change the course. Thereґs so much more than this, oh Mother Gaia
Can you see, can you feel all the beauty that we have in this world? Thereґs so much to see, forever Ignorance, arrogance Keep us from being ourselves so we just follow our leaders - Why
I am facing the truth I got to change the way I live Canґt go on this way The price is too high to pay After the rain I feel the sun See how I run to my destiny Life is a game I got to learn how to play I make my own rules ґcause now I am free to choose Courage and faith will show me the way Se how I run to my destiny Like the Phoenix I rise From the ashes of life I donґt need fortune or fame Just some peace of mind Like the Phoenix I fly leaving the lies behind Futureґs golden for me There is no one who can stop me now Iґm noble and strong Iґm walking down the road that I choose Each day is a gift And I know that I can't lose Glorious future is waiting for me See how I run to my destiny Like the Phoenix...
GLORY OF THE WORLD
(Music: Johansson / Lyrics: Johansson)
The sun is setting on the pain the people freezing in the rain the Earth is rolling in her grave I beg the light up in the sky to make me whole, to tell me why I can't be bothered to be brave and I've been waiting, and hesitating, and then I see the curtain fall: the wonder of it all my heart was blind, but now I see I know the power and the glory of the world I took a breath and now I'm free I feel the glory of the world the demons sometimes find a way there's nothing keeping them at bay but for the power of my mind the road to paradise is long and halfway there, I'm heading wrong I'm leaving all the pain behind the wonder of it all my heart was blind, but now I see I know the power and the glory of the world I took a breath and now I'm free I feel the glory of the world
MILLION LIGHTYEARS AWAY
(Music: Tolkki / Lyrics: Tolkki)
I donґt know what to do I donґt know who you are Iґm calling from the silence We have gone too far I try to understand you, your life has been so cruel Please try to see it my way Iґve got something to say All those years Were not in vain Even though there was much pain I try to learn from my mistakes I want to make it up to you A Million Light Years away from you I am A Million Light Years away from you I hope that youґd respect my Honesty and faith And maybe youґd forgive me If I could make you see I want to say Iґm sorry For what I did to you Iґll get on with my life I hope you do that too All the years...
Higher I set my goals everyday I make my own rules that I will obey each moment As long as I live This is the life I was born to lead Unique chance for me to express myself And fullfill my dreams Iґm in control of this ship of mine And everything will be just fine Like the wind Iґm free to go anywhere I got my song, it dances in the air Now I know what Iґll do with my life Now you will hear my freedom call All those bad times Iґve had in my life Change into blessings if I change the point of view I needed them to grow Iґve changed so much, Iґm finally free To do what I want without any fear and quilt Itґs so amazing Iґm in control... Like the wind...
Mother watch your children The iron fist of fear is ruling our lives Itґs not too late to change the course We can make this world a better place to be in How much more do we want until weґre satisfied? What happens when we have what we want? Acquiring more , still thereґs never enough We forget those who really are in need The end is near, or so they say Selling peace with guns Infinity - Where do we go from here? Infinity - Where do we go from here? Infinity - Where do we go? Infinity - Where do we go from here? Guns spitting (out the) message of peace everywhere Is it really that we donґt care? See mercenaries of fear selling love Telling salvation comes from above Arrogance and fear walking hand in hand We must see that thereґs much more to life than this Mother see your children Make us understand and help us to find the way The answers lie inside They are locked inside to the vault of truth for us Itґs time to spread the word around Be yourself and do what you want to do with your life Remember, you get just what you give You reap all what you sow You are in charge of your own life Infinity... You make your own way As long as you are here Find your place in life Make your dreams come true Thereґs so much more than this A million ways to live Unlock the door To the universe with love Free your soul
Here in the Universe I find some things that are so hard to understand The vastness of space just takes my breath away I see through history The years they come and go The seconds that will shape my destiny The time that we spend here Is precious, that I see so clear What is our place in here? What is the meaning of the pain we feel? Where did all this come from? The galaxies, the moon the stars, oh I donґt know I really want to know what is the meaning of evolution They say that we are the crown of all creation So letґs break free from these chains Of fear, hate and greed And join together singing our Celestial Dream Freedom is awaiting For those who take the path less traveled And in the end weґll all sing our Celestial Dream
