MIDGARD LYRICS

1. Self Liberty

Trapped inside yourself
You cannot escape 'til the right time comes

Chained with unbroken chains you are
Sometimes you feel you're caged in flesh

Then despair and rage rise
There's nowhere to go
There's no one to help you
You think about death
But you've got to wait

Did you blame Satan
Or did you blame God?
Did you blame fate
Or did you blame others?
You're wrong!

'Cause evil is lurking deep inside you
You have to open your eyes
And wake up for the truth
It's time to grow with the many displeasures of life

You've got to take something good for you in this land of weak minds

Someone can help you
I talk about yourself, your own mind

You do what you want to
You gather what you plant

So beware of your acts
Until the day you go
To the place you really belong!

2. Power Machine

Take the taste of joy while you can
Enjoy while the sun shines for you too
For in a few minutes this same sun
Will belong to the world of power

And your days shall become only darkness
Try the salty taste of tears
From the innocent child you are
For you don't have the power to be accepted out there

So pray every night hoping you'll grow up
And become powerful too

The years went by and brought you here
Now feelings are forbidden
You are just a small piece of the power machine

But you don't mind it, do you?
You even beg to be part of this machine

Just produce!
You shall have no part of your deeds...

For you are only a meaningless and replaceable piece
Maybe it would be better to not be born
For you can't desire what doesn't exist.

3. False

Hey, can I call you my true friend?
And trust you some secrets without pretend?
Can I ask you a single favour?
Without you asking me something in return?

I think it would be too much to ask you
Anything without being charged for you
Because you are my worst and damned friend
You were my worst enemy until the end

Hey, I think you cannot see
That I hate and despise you
I wanna see you crying blood,
(See) you asking help for your god
You false!

You are my so called friend,
But you can stab me in the back
I have something to tell you:
The power which interests you so much,
I just haven't,
And my pride and my honour,
Will come with me to my grave...
...so don't talk about friendship

4. For Midgard's Sake

Masquerade!

Things have changed since the day you came here
Spilling false words with such ability
Praising all the "truths" that you know
Crushing our thoughts with your lies
And for Midgard's sake
You kept spreading all of your
Branches

Many months avoiding the "Last Supper"
Bearing, hoping, really giving it a try
Thinking that suddenly you could be another
Pretty sure that all was a disguise
And for Midgard's sake
We kept ignoring your voyages

Without fear you put us to burn
Not a shade of you in the past
Vain adrenaline
Cheap and necessary
Never too much...

Closing my eyes I could not end it all
When you were out there making us look bad
Tired to play the fools for your wonder
We decided to put you on a shelf
And for Midgard's sake
We went nullifying your hell

Things that escaped from the friendship
Proving even that was such a bunch of lies
I cannot look over it all
Without cursing the though of being so innocent

And for Midgard's sake
We hope you to see it for yourself

Now face the spear within the heart
An emptiness that now fulfills your brain
All those days when we decided to fight
Against ourselves
To see in the end who wins.

5. World of Illusion

Born in a cradle made of gold
Grown far away from our harsh world

I saw the bright of her hair falling upon her shoulders
I felt myself enchanted by her charming eyes
Amused by seeing those killer legs
Sad I was
We were bounded by blood

What a nice house she has
Full of pictures on the wall
Lots of real very good friends
Every one loves her

Will she kill herself
In a fake plastic world
Will she fall from this dimension
Will she end in misery

I pray that she
May turn on the lights
Stand up and see
That she may have a life

Sank in an endless darkness
Dust of rottenness
Inside the ruby cross around her neck

Acting like a Mary Sunshine
Ashamed about her own feelings
Her greatest good
Her reputation
Determination
Escaped from her

6. Light Off the Candles

Millenniums of reflections
Destroyed by our hands
Those points stopped flying
As the leaves hear them crying
Please light off the candles
Let me escape from this insanity
Tears of pain escape from Midgard

Ignoring our wisdom
We became blind for power
Showing our supremacy
By your holy violence

Weak seems to be the victims of your greed
Ingenuous self-esteem is fulfilling your poor heart
Please light off the candles
Carry me to my own reality
Take me back to the place I belong

7. The Dark Feeling of Sadness

When I walk through the dark night
When the silence becomes hard
When I accept it in my mind
My colors turn to black grey and white
Walking through the valley of shadows
Reflecting and pondering my deeds
Did I do something to live in happiness
Am I guilty to live so sad?

Even in solitude the peace denies its blessing
And it brings me the dark feeling of sadness
When I leave behind this world
When I leave the valley of shadows
In spirit I'll still be here
Trying to tell you what will come soon

8. Echoes in Eternity

Your soul is condemned to
Burn at each mistake
Nothing is more real than it will surely seal your fate
Do what you want but you have never stopped to think (what would come back)
Your acts will echo in time just like whispers in the dark

What goes around (will come around)
Nobody wants to listen (know the truth)

I don 't know why (you'll never know)
You'll never know how things will be

Cattle and kinsmen will die and you know that every man is mortal
The only thing that can never die is the glory of a name
A damned name only will curse your entire family
The first chance is all that you have in this little time you are here

9. Solitude

[originally by Candlemass]

I'm sitting here alone in darkness waiting to be free,
Lonely and forlorn I'm crying
I long for my time to come death means just life
Please let me die in solitude

Hate is my only friend
Pain is my father
Torment is delight to me
Death is my sanctuary
I seek it with pleasure
Please let me die in solitude

Receive my sacrifice
My lifeblood is exhausted
No-one gave love and understanding
Hear these words
Vilifiers and pretenders
And please let me die in solitude

Earth to earth
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
