Take a look at me! Bask in my glory! Take a crack at me and feel my fury! No one provokes me unpunished No one provokes me unpunished No foes will rejoice in my halls Attempts to assault ends with their blood on the walls Besiege me and hope that they’ll starve but know that you’re dead if you charge! Take a look at me! Bask in my glory! Take a crack at me and feel my fury! No one provokes me unpunished No one provokes me unpunished If you tread on me they will hear your cries the cacophony leads to your demise If you tread on me I will make you bleed If you come at me I will make you see the futility. Although the well is deep, it’s the Achilles heel you seek it’s with trickery that you’ll force them to yield. But you should know that my heart is made of stone If you come at me I will break your bones! When you feast your eyes upon me, size me up, and pray your prayers know that no one provokes me unpunished. No one provokes me unpunished! Nemo me impune lacessit!

Each step tears at my soul.
 This journey is taking its toll,
 though I’m pressing on for a glorious life or death. 
Into the mist, a deep fog. 
I’m facing the darkness.
 Into the mist, a deep fog.
 I’m chasing my demons down. 
Into the mist, a deep fog.
 A face in the darkness.
 Into the mist, a deep fog.
 Here only death is certain. 
This is a cursed place of an ancient time,
 where shadows come alive. 
Though it’s what I sought, here I dread naught.
 These lands I’ll purge and see the world mended.

 Who am I though? 
Yet again I am back in nexus. 
Oh, which way will I go?
 Will I swallow the sun and embrace the darkness or…
 will I be dying for the light? 
Into the mist, a deep fog.
 I’m facing the darkness.
 Into the mist, a deep fog. 
I’m chasing my demons down. 
Into the mist, a deep fog.
 A face in the darkness.
 Into the mist, a deep fog.
 Here only death is certain. 
For all of mankind I venture into the void. 
I have seen through darkness, I have felt the power.
 Will I succumb to my inner beast? 
I am facing the demons of this world and my past,
 but in my heart an evil beats.
 Into the mist, a deep fog. 
I’m facing the darkness.
Into the mist, a deep fog.
 I’m chasing my demons down. 
Into the mist, a deep fog.
a face in the darkness.
 Into the mist, a deep fog.
 Here only death is certain.

 I’m putting my demons back to sleep.

The End 02:33
Slowly, the world is changing faces. Suddenly, change has come to pass. Empty eyes and silent places. Desolation – Hearts and minds seek consolation. Search they will, but cannot find. Blind, to the situation. Freedom conquers all eventually. The thought, the obsession, seek to control your mind. When, is your end, or your world’s destruction? Is it destiny, old friend? What time cannot mend, do not bother to comprehend. Better to return to whence you came. Blood will pay for the endgame, it’s too late to sound retreat. Tell me what’s your answer to defeat. Blood will pay for the endgame, it’s too late to sound retreat. Left is a world of silence and grief.

Now I know at least, there’s no tether and no leash It´s only me that holds me back, but I know I´m right on track A platform from which to launch, soon I’ll be soaring high Among my friends, among my peers, and the memories of years so long forgotten Oblivious to how I’ve yearned Trapped inside, this broken figure, this fragment of a life. Dwells a mind that seeks to break through, to fight another fight. Reconstruction, calibration, I am ready to be off. Whatever holds me in this prison, it is cruel and it is though. Persistent and meticulous and patient I must be, to climb this wall, avoid the fall, find the path that sets me free. Another day among the clouds. Another way among the clouds Another fall towards the ground There is ever another step, to take me further and deeper yet Into the fray, day after day, another misstep is causing delay I'm stuck in this loop of anguish and pain, If I can't break through to my shattered remains. There will soon be a day when life slips away Another day among the clouds. Another way among the clouds. Another fall towards the ground. Another day among the clouds. Another way among the clouds. Beyond the clouds…

Kungens Väg 02:59
Som en av många närmar jag mig, slottet där spelemän inställa sig. För Kungen ska fira sin födelse och kvällen ska bringa förödelse. I slottets salar där ryktena går, att Kungen är stressad och drottningen svår, hans ensamma värld snurrar runt och runt. Den stackarn ej sover, får inte en blund. Men vägen jag går är en upptrampad stig och när dagen är slut dansar kungen för mig. På ett uppdukat bord stapplar han över gås, han välter ut bägare, trampar i sås. Och på drottningens skrud spiller han ut vin, när han dansar till toner från min mandolin. Det var hopp ner i galen tunna, när för drottningens blick han blunda. När dagen gryr vaknar han ej upp. Vi en kvinnlig regent har tills barnen växt upp. Sensmoralen är toners klang, kan få överherrar fall! Men vägen jag går är en upptrampad stig och när dagen är slut sjunger jag för dig. Om en Kung, om en Drottning, en gång. Om en Kung, om en Drottning, en sång. Drottningens vakt är nu efter mig. För se oaktsamhet, ja, det straffar ju sig! Jag är jagad för mord på en kung. Så höj nu bägaren och sjung! Vägen jag går är en upptrampad stig och när jag tagits fast blir jag av med mitt liv, men just nu är jag lycklig och fri, trots min flykt ifrån tyranni!
