Years Go By Lyrics By Stratovarius

Look around do you see
So many things have changed
And you should know by now
I never meant to hurt you at all
All my life I have been an outcast
But now I've been reborn
And I see things so clear

Open your eyes and realize
Hard times are over if you want
Open your mind
Reach for the stars
Answer is there for us to find

Years go by
Never know when it's too late
Years go by
Yourself you seal your fate
Don't look the answer from horizon
It's closer than you think
Years go by, oh how they go by

Forever Lyrics By Stratovarius

Music & Words : Tolkki

I stand alone in the darkness
The winter of my life came so fast
Memories go back to my childhood
To days I still recall

Oh how happy I was then
There was no sorrow there was no pain
Walking through the green fields
Sunshine in my eyes

I'm still there everywhere
I'm the dust in the wind
I'm the star in the northern sky
I never stayed anywhere
I'm the wind in the trees
Would you wait for me forever?

Dreamspace Lyrics By Stratovarius

Music and words by Tolkki
Looking back through time to my childhood days
I used to have a place where I could escape the reality
But lately things have been so difficult for me
trying to reach for the light in the fall of darkness
Waiting watching my life I'm wasting my time
I'm losing grip from life
Going back to my dreamspace leaving it all behind
soon the things will be allright when I get there
Am I safe in here, nothing left to fear
I will close my eyes and float away with stream
Wandering here in this eternal darkness
no signs of light anywhere I am going in sane
Now I am leaving this life
No hope left I want to die

No Turning Back Lyrics By Stratovarius

So long I have been accepting what I've seen
Never really speaking my mind
Now the heat's leaking out
I'd like to scream and shout
I want to leave it all behind

There's no one else to turn the wheel
I've got my own life to steer

No turning back
Coz I wanna know who I am and I want to live my life
No turning back
Tomorrow's awaiting, I'm on the way

Hard to find the right words
And not to make it worse
A choice that has to be done
It is just my life
Can't make no compromise
And to stop what has begun

There's no one else...

I have all the strings in my hands
The choices that's been laid for me
I am not taking more commands
Coz now finally I'm free

Night Time Eclipse Lyrics By Stratovarius

Music by Tolkki, Words by Kotipelto
If I could stay awake for awhile
it would be another morning
don't wanna fall asleep now when
everything seems so far and beyond
Walking down a familiar road
but the darkness is misleading me
I know I should feel fear inside
but still the shadows is where I wanna be
Just an ordinary day stealing all the hope away
wanting me to be the one who has dreams made of clay
My fading confused mind
creating phrases unknown
I know I should't stay awake
if I fall asleep they just might find me
Now all is so clear
I can finally proceed
My fading confused mind
creating phrases unknown
Waiting for the dawn
soon to arrive
so few options that I have
and I can use
Life's circumstances
can be so cruel
If I take a chance I just might
make the wrong move

Black Diamond Lyrics By Stratovarius

(Tolkki/Kotipelto)
Again I see you standing there watching me
Your gaze, those eyes are tantalizing openly
Inviting me to get close to you
Can't help myself
There's fascination in the air
I try to fight this strong sensation
But there's no chance to escape from this temptation
Feels like I've known you before
Repeating phrases
But I yearn for something more
I know I can't stay by your side forever
But I know I won't forget your beauty
My black diamond
I know I can't stay by your side forever
But I know I won't forget your beauty
My black diamond
I know I can't stay by your side forever
But I know I won't forget your beauty
My black diamond

4000 Rainy Nights Lyrics By Stratovarius

These empty days are filling me with pain
After I left it seems my life is only rain
My heart is longing to the better times
When everything was still so fine

I wonder why it happens so fast
You give your heart away knowing it might not last
I'm still here waiting for the rain to fall
And to see you once again

4000 Rainy Nights
4000 Nights I'd be with you
4000 Rainy Nights with you

I keep your memory in my heart
You give me hope when everything is so dark
That thing nobody can take away
Forever in me

4000 Rainy...

When The Night Meets The Day Lyrics By Stratovarius

(Tolkki)
Look around there's no time to waste
life goes on nothing's gonna change
Feel the winds of life blowing cold
it won't take so long you are growing old
there is no answer to be found
it is so easy to fall without a sound
Days of loving and gold
kept me from feeling so old
times I'll always recall
when the night meets the day
Gates of heaven I saw
while flying through the misty dawn
those days I'll always recall
when the night meets the day
I don't wanna let you out of my sight
but here I'm lost and alone in the night

Eternity Lyrics By Stratovarius

Music by Tolkki, words by Kotipelto
When clouds are covering the sky
I can't help thinking what's behind
In a fading evening
I can feel strange thoughts in my mind
What if we aren't alone here
there's a clone of everyone somewhere
that duplicates all that we do
not like me not like you but our other ego
there ain't no wars or crises
only joy and compromises
time has stood still
why don't you take me there
wanna feel some infinity
why don't we just dare
coz after all remains ... Eternity
A landscape with no trees
and a mist arising from the distance
an illusion just for me
or a proper reward and a chance
there ain't no wars or crises
only joy and compromises
time has stood still
why don't you take me there
wanna feel some infinity
why don't we just dare
coz after all remains ... Eternity
