CRIMSON SHORES


AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS

Music by Jesse Liukkonen
Lyrics by Lassi Landström

Verse 1

In the cold wilderness of Antarctic icy desert
We make our expedition to find the frozen mystery
Discovering life-forms ancient, older than time itself
Slaughter it starts unfolding, six star shaped snow mounds haunt them now

Chorus 1

In the crippling cold, The Elder Things built their civilizations
Myths of creatures gone, At the mountains of madness this evil hides

Verse 2

Decode the hieroglyphs to reveal their stories buried
In conflict with the star-spawn, degradation of a culture
Haunting our exploration we flee the ghosts of ancient
The unnamed evil lurks here, obeying only madness

Chorus 2

In the crippling cold , The Elder Things built their civilizations
Myths of creatures gone, At the mountains of madness this evil
Hides and shall remain, Buried beneath the ice and snow here
Immortal great old ones, At the mountains of madness their evil hides

Bridge

They built their empire. They blossomed in the cold
But never lasts the glory, all civilizations fall
The Shoggoths hunt us like they hunted their masters
An unnamed evil drives us all into insanity

THE FINAL HOUR

Music by Jesse Liukkonen
Lyrics by Ari Balzar

Verse 1

With despair she looked up to the sky and spoke
The fear of death follows from the fear of life
when your time comes live’s a flash before
Your eyes nothing more nothing less
So why do we choose to live in the shadows
And let those to rule us who surely will destroy us

Pre

Humanity is and always will be its own worst enemy
And we are just throwing bodies more and more to its flames

Chorus 1

So take my hand and watch the world burn with me
This is it , this is our final hour

Verse 2

With relief she looked up to the sun and spoke
Our journey on this world is closing its end
And there is no new beginning no second chance
Just destiny claiming back what’s hers
So why do we follow the blind into the darkness
It’s the future we destroy, when we’re not accepting the truth

Pre

Chorus x2

Bridge

Dreaming, burning, in the fire of all souls
Screaming, learning, to let go of all hope

Verse 3

So why do we choose live in the fire
And let our children cry in the death that is our doing

Pre

Chorus x2

NO HOPE (FOR SALVATION)

Music by Ari Balzar
Lyrics by Lassi Landström

Verse 1

Don’t read the signs
Don’t listen to their worthless lies
All is alright
Nothing to fear, go on with your life”


That’s what we’re told
That’s what they say, what we’ve been sold
No threat in sight
I can’t believe we’ve been this blind

Pre

Now rise!

Chorus 1

Reason is a crime, no hope for salvation this time
Freedom just a lie, bury ourselves before we die
Burning to the ground, and fuel the flames laughing out loud
No God’s grand plan, no hope for salvation of man

Verse 1

Is this not a dream?
Wake up from a nightmare with a scream
Oblivious sheep
As hungry wolves among us creep

Burning everything
Consuming every living being
Spreading like plague
Our sense of justice at best vague

Pre

Now exit stage

Chorus 2

MY LAST RITES

Music and Lyrics by Ari Balzar

Verse 1

Day after day I lose myself a little bit more
To this darkness that hides beneath the broken disguise
Destroying all love from its wake
Taking what it wants
Forcing me to the edge of insanity

Pre

How many times can I live die
Before this hell I rule stops
And I have fallen I’ve seen it all
Send me on my way

Chorus

My last rites - In shadows I rise
My last rites - The end of lies
My last rites - Forbidden sacrifice
My last rites - In shadows I die

Verse 2

Wasted my life and hopes to this addiction
Enslaved by my past and fears revealing only lies
So may this be my final salvation
From this oblivion, redemption with a bullet

Pre

Chorus

Bridge

p>Intro

I watch my life wither away
Day after day fading
This endless cycle hides my pain
A shell of a broken man

Chorus x2

WELCOME TO THE WASTELAND

Music by Jesse Liukkonen
Lyrics by Lassi Landström

Intro

In the not so far future humanity has brought itself to the brink of extinction
in a devastating nuclear conflict. Only few remain, who roam this wasteland
of a world. Mankind has descended into madness and cruelty.

Verse 1

I ride in the desert sand
Through ruins of broken things
Scavenger in the wasteland
Hope and death he brings


I search abandoned ruins
I loot homes of the dead
Constantly keep on moving
Better things must be ahead

Pre

I roam alone
Midst sand and bones

Chorus

Welcome to hell Enjoy your stay in the land of no man
No brave new world
The end of line, enter the wasteland

Verse 2

I ride the night in turmoil
Mount of steel my home
Avenger among gas and oil
Madness is all I know


In here life’s a battle
Humanity dragged through mud
All trace of moral shattered
My world is fire and blood

Pre

I roam alone
Midst death and bones

Chorus

Welcome to hell
Enjoy your stay in the land of no man
No brave new world
The end of line, enter the wasteland

Welcome to hell
Enjoy your stay in the land of no man
Our brave new world is
what we deserve, welcome to the wasteland

NIGHTWALKER

Music by Ari Balzar
Lyrics by Lassi Landström

Verse 1

I flee the everburning sun
And for the night I am a son
Until the final end of time
I walk the earth, the night is mine


I need to feel the evening breeze
I feed to fuel my desperate needs
Immortal darkness is my name
I play the neverending game

Chorus

Step in my web, don’t falter
Come forward, meet the nightwalker
Let in my spell, come closer
Bleed for me, I’m the nightwalker

Verse 2

There’s no more death, there’s no more life
Your warm blood flowing is now mine
I am eternal, I am the night
Do not begin a futile fight


Damned to walk in the endless dark
Feed on the weak, to make my mark
As I plunge into your life
I cut into you like a knife

Chorus

Chorus 3

Nightwalker….
Nightwalker...

I am the night, the living dead, I am the night

BEFORE THE NIGHT IS DONE

Music by Ari Balzar
Lyrics by Lassi Landström

Verse 1

Staring into darkness
Blackened thoughts dwell deep
The twisting pain inside of me
Unable to sleep


Fires burned within us
Consuming to the core
Leaving just this hollow shell
Tonight this ends, no more

Pre

Until first light
Away from the night

Chorus

Before the night is done
I’ll finish what you begun
Before the light sheds the darkness
My freedom comes, before the night is done

Verse 2

Wandering through the memories
The pictures on the walls
The pain in this remembering
Like snakes inside me crawl


The fire dying within me
The one you let burn out
Tonight this ends, this hollow shell
No more pain, no doubt

Pre

Onto the light
No more this night

Chorus

BEASTS OF PREY

Music by Ari Balzar
Lyrics by Lassi Landström

Verse 1

Don’t look behind
The creatures lurk the night
No peace of mind
The fear in you ignites


No turning back
No time to catch your breath
Stay on the track
Steer clear of gruesome death


The beasts await
For you to turn your glance
You agitate
A part of a deadly dance

Chorus

All on your own you pray
Don’t take my life away
The shadows they play their game
All fear the beasts of prey

Verse 2

The cracks and creeks
The terror in the dark
Surroundings bleak
The creatures leave their mark


A long way home
Each step it takes it’s toll
A savage growl
You’re losing all control


It burns your mind
You’re soaking in cold sweat
Going blind
By fear, it’s nothing yet

Chorus

Bridge

Run away boy run, don’t let them catch your scent
It has just begun, run away boy like hell bent

Chorus x2

UNTIL THE END

Music by Jesse Liukkonen
Lyrics by Lassi Landström

Verse 1

All hold your ground 300 men
Against certain death, to battle again


Until the end we will defend
Never fall back, fight ’till the end

Pre

All hail the spartan race!
Eternal glory face!

Chorus

Stranger, go tell the
Spartans that we lie here
True, even till death,
To our Spartan law

Verse 2

Immortals slain, ground painted red
Yet we’re betrayed, more blood to be shed
300 stay, our king commands
Until the end, our final stand

Pre

All hail the spartan race!
Eternal glory face!

Chorus

Verse 3

Our numbers grow few, one hundred and eight
Obey spartan law, the gods seal our fate
Follow your king, show them our might
The prophecy leads us to light

Pre

Chorus


Spartan law!

FALLING SKIES

Music and Lyrics by Lassi Landström

Verse 1

Lay in the trenches
Death in the air
The burning bodies
The smell of fear


Ground shakes and rumbles
No place to hide
Cries echo in here
Where brothers died

Pre

In the trenches we are dying
For a reason no-one knows
The whistling sounds of death approaching
No-one here is going home

Chorus

Death is raining down from the sky
Bloody, praying soldiers stand by
Shrapnel piercing flesh, dying cries
Here our lives will end with falling skies

Verse 2

The mud and thunder
Mind-twisting fear
Don’t move don’t falter
Stay right here


Shells are falling
Not far from here
Death is calling
The end is near

Pre

In the trenches I am dying
Feeling tired, feeling numb
Somewhere midst my pain I’m crying
“Please God let me just go home"

Chorus x2

CRIMSON SHORES

Music by Jesse Liukkonen
Lyrics by Lassi Landström

Intro

Omaha
The shore on which we fall
On D-Day
Such a crimson day


Thousands
On each side here fall
We land there
Into the jaws of death

Verse 1

Step on the cold wet sand
Run forward for your life
Land on the Easy Green
Stay low try not to die


The water painted red
All over bodies wet
Now leave the landing craft
The beach is my liferaft

Chorus

Into Normandy
Into the beaches
Into the madness
Into the darkness


Hope has no meaning
All around screaming
Wade through the water
Into the slaughter


Bullets are flying
Our names they are calling
All around falling
We answer the calling


Into the bloodbath
Into the madness
Into the world war
Land on the Crimson Shores

Verse 2

Head to the german casemate
Duck as the MGs sing
Keep moving don’t just lay there
Need to keep on fighting


Shattered is our battalion
Round up all men you can
The bluffs defence our target
With me my fellow man


Reload and aim your firearms
Hand me the Bangalore
Blow open all the wires
Conquer this blood red shore

Bridge

Into the Crimson Shores we land
Off to face our death our souls they must be damned
Into the Crimson Shores we fall
Off to certain death we now stand here tall

Chorus

Outro

Omaha The shore on which we fell
On D-Day
Such a crimson day
We landed
And victory we brought

Into the madness
Land on the crimson shore
