STRATOVARIUS LYRICS

1. Survive


I have seen the truth, I've seen it in my dream
I have found my voice, but don't know what to say
For I have lost my way and no-one's here to find me
I loathe my loneliness, I hate the emptiness

I'm hanging on a wire
Ablaze and set on fire
Waiting for the crack to come
I snap and let it go

I fall
Through the darkness
About to lose it all
I fall
Against the odds I played and lost it all
Saw the future, now it's gone

Only the strong will survive
I will try to find the strength inside
Only the strong will survive
I will not give up, as long as I'm alive
I will not give in, as long as I'm alive
Only the strong will survive

An eternal road where demons go to die
Runs through this barren land where my madness lies
Have I now lost my mind
Am I mute, deaf and blind
I scream without a sound
I just can't let it out

I fall
Through the darkness
About to lose it all
I fall
Against the odds I played and lost it all
Saw the future, now it's gone

Only the strong will survive
I will try to find the strength inside
Only the strong will survive
I will not give up, as long as I'm alive
I will not give in, as long as I'm alive
Only the strong will survive

The future's not bright but it's mine
I won't lie, there's no hope in sight but I'll survive

I will try to find the strength...

I will try to find the strength inside
Only the strong will survive
I will not give up, as long as I'm alive
I will not give in, as long as I'm alive
I will not give up, as long as I'm alive
Only the strong will survive

Only the strong will survive


2. Demand


Feel the fury
And demonstrate the pain
Show them your anger and despair
Fear the future
For fighting is in vain
It comes for you, unbearable, unthinkable

This is the time
This is the place
We have the power
Now is the time
To all unite
This is the hour

Now we demand
We take a stand

Now we demand
To be heard
We take a stand
We take command
We take control
Now we demand
To be seen
We do not bend
We do not break
We do not fall
Once and for all
Now we demand, we take a stand

Revolution
It's happening today
We'll get the future we deserve
Resolution
The turning of the tide
It comes for you, unbearable, unthinkable

Now we demand
We take a stand

Now we demand
To be heard...
We take a stand
We take command
We take control

Now we demand
To be seen
We do not bend
We do not break
We do not fall
Once and for all

This is the time
This is the place
We have the power
Now is the time
To all unite
This is the hour

This is the time
This is the place
We have the power
Now is the time
To all unite
This is the hour

Now we demand
To be heard
We take a stand
We take command
We take control

Now we demand
To be seen
We do not bend
We do not break
We do not fall
Once and for all

Now we demand
We take a stand


3. Broken


Is this the promised land
The one we were to rule?
I see an empty hand
I see an empty fool
How wicked man can be
We never can be free
Our eternal wrath
Destruction in our path

We pray for salvation
From a man made machine
There's no hope, there's no light
There's no love, just a silent scream
Lost in a dream

Neither beast nor divine
That's who we are
And that's why we're broken
End of the line
We are the past
We are not the chosen

Unguided, divided
Waiting for the end
We're the last of our kind
That's who we are
And that's why we're broken

This was our passing reign
A burning crown of shame
There's nothing more to gain
There's no-one left to blame

And when we close our eyes
Another one will rise
In hunger and in need
Another one will bleed

We pray for salvation
From a man made machine
There's no hope, there's no light
There's no love, just a silent scream
Lost in a dream

Neither beast nor divine
That's who we are
And that's why we're broken
End of the line
We are the past
We are not the chosen

Unguided, divided
Waiting for the end
We're the last of our kind
That's who we are
And that's why we're broken

Neither beast nor divine
That's who we are
And that's why we're broken
End of the line
We are the past
We are not the chosen

Unguided, divided
Waiting for the end
We're the last of our kind
That's who we are
And that's why we're broken

End of the line
Neither beast nor divine
We're the last of our kind
Neither beast nor divine
That's who we are
And that's why we're broken


4. Firefly


Burn the night
I am chasing a firefly

I've got the eye of the tiger
I have the will to fight
You are my trial by fire
You are the one tonight
Calling my burning heart

I tried so hard to resist you
I tried to keep away
Torn apart
You glow so bright in the darkness
Your light is here to stay

I wait for the sunrise, yearn for your glow
Keep trying to chase wherever you go
My burning heart, torn apart
I'm stealing your power you're stealing my heart

Burn the night
I am chasing a firefly
You shine so bright
I am chasing a firefly
You are my firefly
I'm in the dark
You are my guiding light
I follow your heartbeat
Burn the night
I am chasing a firefly

Burning heart
I feel you taking me higher
I'll follow anywhere
Torn apart
You are the one I desire
You are my cross to bear

I wait for the sunrise, yearn for your glow
Keep trying to chase wherever you go
My burning heart, torn apart
I'm stealing your power you're stealing my heart

Burn the night
I am chasing a firefly
You shine so bright
I am chasing a firefly
You are my firefly
I'm in the dark
You are my guiding light
I follow your heartbeat
Burn the night
I am chasing a firefly

Burn the night
I am chasing a firefly
You shine so bright
I am chasing a firefly
You are my firefly
I'm in the dark
You are my guiding light
I follow your heartbeat
Burn the night
I am chasing a firefly


5. We Are Not Alone


I was standing by the road
Had to choose which way to go
Had to choose
The road I know or what's new

And the choice that I will make
Does it matter anyway
Am I free
Is it all decided for me

I don't know where I belong
The future is untold
Here today
Tomorrow I'll be gone

In the end
We're the same
On a universal scale
The world moves on
We just have to go along

In the end
All we are
A speck of dust among the stars
And we all hope
That we're not here all alone
We are not alone

Did I choose to walk this road
Did I choose which way to go
All I know
The road won't judge, won't care

All the choices that I make
Do they matter anyway
Am I free
Or is it all decided for me

I don't know where I belong
The future is untold
Here today
Tomorrow I'll be gone

In the end
We're the same
On a universal scale
The world moves on
We just have to go along

In the end
All we are
A speck of dust among the stars
And we all hope
That we're not here all alone
We are not alone

Did I choose to walk this road
Did I choose which way to go
All I know
The world moves on
We just have to go along

In the end
We're the same
On a universal scale
The world moves on
We just have to go along

In the end
All we are
A speck of dust among the stars
And we all hope
That we're not here all alone
We are not alone


6. Frozen In Time


Breathing silently
Holding each other quietly
Their life is a dream, a dream they share
And soon it's falling
Underneath the starlit skies
Getting all lost in lovers eyes
Singing their song, sharing some wine
Their fate is calling

Out there in the dark
Glowing an eerie single spark
Soon a thunderous sound
Is shaking the ground

Frozen in time
They lie
Buried alive they are forevermore
Frozen in time
They died
Lying side by side forevermore
Frozen in time

Fate can be unjust
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
This is the end of their tale
Now heaven's fading
Lying together, heart to heart
Not even death tore them apart
Forever gone, forever one
Forever waiting

Out there in the dark
Glowing an eerie single spark
Soon a thunderous sound
Is shaking the ground

Frozen in time
They lie
Buried alive they are forevermore
Frozen in time
They died
Lying side by side forevermore
Frozen in time

Frozen in time
Forever one
Buried alive the way they died
Frozen in time

Frozen in time
They lie
Buried alive they are forevermore
Frozen in time
They died
Lying side by side forevermore
Frozen in time

They lie
Buried alive they are forevermore
Frozen in time forevermore
Buried alive the way they died
Frozen in time

Frozen in time
Frozen in time


7. World On Fire


Our world is on fire

Don't you dare to close your eyes
It's time to realize
We lost the game and are to blame
Mankind will expire
Better start to think
Cause the ship's about to sink
The storm is here, the end is near
Our world is on fire

Everyday we saw the signs
Everyday we closed our eyes
Now we pay for every choice that we made
This is the moment that defines
Is all we ever leave behind
A world we betrayed

Our world is on fire
Destruction, now burning
Our world is on fire
Warning, now the heat is rising
There's no returning
Our world is on fire

We can turn this world around
We won't let them bring us down
Let's make a choice, to raise our voice
And take ourselves higher
We're right and they are wrong
They are weak and we are strong
And we will fight for what is right
Our world is on fire

Everyday we saw the signs
Everyday we closed our eyes
Now we pay for every choice that we made
This is the moment that defines
Is all we ever leave behind
A world we betrayed

Our world is on fire
Destruction, now burning
Our world is on fire
Warning, now the heat is rising
There's no returning
Our world is on fire
Warning

Our world is on fire
Destruction, now burning
Our world is on fire
Warning, now the heat is rising
There's no returning
Our world is on fire

Warning, destruction
Everything burning
Our world is on fire
Warning, now the heat is rising
There's no returning
Our world is on fire

Warning
Our world is on fire
Warning, now burning
Our world is on fire
Warning
Our world is on fire


8. Glory Days


We are the war
We are the storm
A lightning that lights up the sky
We are the wind
We are the rain
We are the howl in the night

We're the rage of the sea
Unchained and free
Saviour of blessed and the cursed
Descendant of kings
A fate on dark wings
Out of the shadows we rise

We fight for all
Fight for the glory days
We will fight for one
Until the rising sun
And we will prevail

We fought to see these glory days
Shed our blood and wept our tears to see victory
We fought to see these glory days
Burning brighter than the sun
One for all and all for one
Hear our voice and heed our call
We fight for all
We fight for glory days

We are the fire
We are the force
We are the loud battle cry
We are the shield
We are the sword
We are the bringer of light

We're the legion of dawn
A legend reborn
Nation of justice and faith
Edge of the blade
A promise once made
Out of the shadows we rise

We fight for all
Fight for the glory days
We will fight for one
Until the rising sun
And we will prevail

We fought to see these glory days
Shed our blood and wept our tears to see victory
We fought to see these glory days
Burning brighter than the sun
One for all and all for one
Hear our voice and heed our call
We fight for all
We fight for glory days

We fought to see these glory days
Shed our blood and wept our tears to see victory
We fought to see these glory days
Burning brighter than the sun
One for all and all for one
Hear our voice and heed our call
We fight for all
We fight for glory days


9. Breakaway


A silent sigh
A prayer from within
That reaches no one

A frail memory
A teardrop on your skin
Once shed for someone

A desperate cry
That hardly can be heard
Still echoes inside

A lost reverie
You once thought you could reach
Has now come undone

Slowly, gently
You can walk on water
Across the stream, to the other side
Day by day
You're finding your desire
And the soul that you hide

Don't drown in your sorrow
When the walls come down
You're not alone

Face the darkness, find the light
Seize the moment, hold on tight
Raise your head up, breakaway
Know that you don't have to stay
Breakaway, breakaway today

They'll say you are weak
They'll say you are not free
But they don't know you

It's not who you are
It's not what you've become
But they cannot see

Slowly, gently
You can walk on water
Across the stream, to the other side
Day by day
You're finding your desire
And the soul that you hide

Face the darkness, find the light
Seize the moment, hold on tight
Raise your head up, breakaway
Know that you don't have to stay
Breakaway, breakaway today

Face the darkness, find the light
Seize the moment, hold on tight
Raise your head up, breakaway
Know that you don't have to stay
Breakaway, you can breakaway today


10. Before The Fall


Judging by your handshake
And your creepy smile
You do whatever it takes to reach your goal
Your way of manipulation
You're doing that with style
All is planned out, you're in control

What you've done
And what you've become, the deceiver
All the lies that we believed
Now the truth will be revealed
And your illusion dies with you

Before the fall
You had it all
You told your lies
And got your prize
Lived for the fame
Enjoyed the game
Your heart is full of hate, now you met your fate
Before the fall

Building up your empire
All the dreams you sold
You showed me heaven, dragged me into hell
Power thirsty vampire
With promises of gold
A toxic liar, i'll break your spell

What you've done
And what you've become, the deceiver
All the lies that we believed
Now the truth will be revealed
And your illusion dies with you

Before the fall
You had it all
You told your lies
And got your prize
Lived for the fame
Enjoyed the game
Your heart is full of hate, now you met your fate
Before the fall

Before the fall
You had it all
You told your lies
And got your prize
Lived for the fame
Enjoyed the game
Your heart is full of hate, now you met your fate
Before the fall

Before the fall
You had it all
Before the fall
You had it all


11. Voice Of Thunder


I see the white clouds rolling through the sky
And wonder if like them I'll once be free
If I will find my wings and learn to fly
For every night the voice is calling me

In my dream there's a winding road
That leads me through the haze to a rusty gate
Where I'll find my peace
I'm at ease
I have been searching for my fate

Loneliness tears me apart
How did I end up this way
I was meant to be something so grand
Or so did they say
So afraid if I am
Just a mortal man
Do I have what it takes to go on
Am I part of a plan

Ride on
Straight to the center
Ride into the storm
Ride on
Ride on
Ride on through the storm

I hear the voice of thunder in the sky
And get the power that will set me free
I'll find my wings and I will learn to fly
Endlessly in eternity
I hear the voice of thunder in the sky
And get the power that will set me free
I see the road ahead, it's calling me
I'm endlessly in eternity

I have been given a quest
I have been called up by name
Will my sacrifice lay me to rest
Is it all the same
All the power I have
All I have become
Will I be feared or will I be loved
For what I have done

Ride on
Ride on
Ride on through the storm

I hear the voice of thunder in the sky
And get the power that will set me free
I'll find my wings and I will learn to fly
Endlessly in eternity
I hear the voice of thunder in the sky
And get the power that will set me free
I see the road ahead, it's calling me
I'm endlessly in eternity

Eternity

Ride on
Straight to the center
Ride into the storm
Ride on
Ride on
Ride on through the storm

I hear the voice of thunder in the sky
And get the power that will set me free
I'll find my wings and I will learn to fly
Endlessly in eternity
I hear the voice of thunder in the sky
And get the power that will set me free
I see the road ahead, it's calling me
I'm endlessly in eternity

I see the road ahead, it's calling me
I see the road ahead, it's calling me
I'm endlessly in eternity

And in my dream I have seen
Long and winding road
That leads me through the haze to a rusty gate
There I find my peace
I'm at ease
I have been searching for my fate
