Thunderstone – The Burning (2004)

1. Until We Touch The Burning Sun

I`m watching through the frozen window

Through the reflection of my face

There`s a cold world out there

And I`m here, safe, and deceitfully fine…

This is my world

My haven, my home, where I can be alone

Only hear and see

Hear and see things that really matter to me

When I open the door and look upon the haze

I can see a million eyes and the way they`re gazing at me

Walking through the misery

Surrounded by the things that I don`t want to see

I can feel the hopeless pain,

and it`s driving me insane

And today I`ll make a promise

Just to break it by tomorrow

We will never learn

We will never turn

Our eyes to the world

Where the pain is reality

We will never see

We`ll never believe

Until we touch the burning sun

I feel the breeze

The breeze that makes me realize that I am not alone

I`m here,

I`m home and safe again behind the doors, locked

inside

Never want to leave again

2. Break The Emotion

They say it`s all gone,

it`s just the beginning

They say it`s a dawn,

well it`s just another morning

Run through the hours, the days, and the endless years

Run for the shelter and hide

Reborn and become, strong and undone

They say there are so many ways you can live your life

But they will never learn, there are gazing eyes, they

critisize

The way you have chosen, the things you have always

done

Sometimes aren`t righteous, sometims aren`t clear

Just keep going on, without fear

Break the emotion – Run into the eye of the storm

Break the emotion – And you can feel the hellfire

Break the emotion – Desire for vengeance is rising

Break the emotion – You`re dancing on the wire

Your fall is higher…

If you break your emotion

They say you`re wrong and they`re right,

but it`s only illusion

They say five up without fight,

it`s their institution

3. Mirror Never Lies

It`s the darkest veil,

pulled over my head

No one can see me,

deep inside, who I am

Beneath the skin the answer lies

Innocence will be sacrificed

And the truth will be revealed

It`s all said and done, thousands of times

My journey through the ages, had taken it`s toll

The face of truth, scars that`ll never fad away

It`s all said and done,

thousands of times

And when I`m dad and gone

The memory`s left behind

Mirror never tells a lie

The truth is always there

You can see it right before your eyes

It`s the one you`ll have to bare

It`s like the darkest veil,

pulled over my head

No one can see me,

deep inside, who I am

4. Tin Star Man

Land of the free

Home of the brave

A history of heroes

In my name

One truth under god

I feel I am stranded

In a world covered in dark

A shield against evil

I light the spark

I can feel it in my blood

I carry on my sacred ride

Across the seas and the great divide

I will save you, even if you don`t want me to

My electric eye will always find you

I`m the one, me, myself and I

Feel the thunder when I light up the sky

No one can stop me now

It`s already begun

I`m the Tin Star Man

It`s a thin line between good and bad

But knowing I`m right keeps me on the track

Righteous and clean

I have the power, I have the force

To bring down my foes and to lead my cause

The light shines on me

5. Spire

Lying on the floor, I feel nothing

Trying to remember

Everything`s a haze, yesterday is gone

Feels like I`vee been hypnotized

Will this be the last time?

I wonder will I ever learn?

Still searching for the rhyme

Maybe now it`s time for me to turn

I rise, I fall

I always stand before I crawl

I smile, I rule

But who am I really trying to fool?

I`m on the spire

Reaching up to the sky high above

I`m on the spire

And it`s on fire, I`m going down below

Another day, another year

And the wheel keeps on spinning

Another joy, another fear

I believe some day I`ll be winning

Every time I swear this will be the last time

Every time I crash to the ground

Every time I`m standing on the spire

I fall but come around

6. Sea Of Sorrow

You were the ground beneath my feet

Stretching as fas as I could see

But then you were called to sail

And I felt all hope fail

The tide is turning

And I`m left yearning

Watching you sail away

On towards a better day

And now, yes I

Sail on, sail on

On a wind of pain

Sail on, sail on

With no shelter from the rain

Sail on, sail on

With no light to follow

Sail on, sail on

On a Sea of Sorrow

Barren waters all around me

Stretching as fas as I can see

Sailing on with a breath

Looking for the black sails of death

The tide is turning

And I`m left yearning

Watching you sail away

On towards a better day

Still I, yes I…

7. Side By Side

Time has come

Now it`s our turn to start building up our way to the

stars

Here and now

Scream and run

For the dreams we have and for the visions that we

have fought so long

Years after years

No hesitaton we`re heading forward

There`s nothing that could stop us now

We are here to stay, never fading away

We have a power and will

Dreams to fulfill

And the hunger is growing day by day

Together we`ll ride to the sky, high above

United we will march through the lands

Side by side

We are as one

We breath the same air, we walk the same endless road

We share it all

Joy and sorrow

No limitaions

As long as the grip will hold there is only one way to go

Full speed ahead

We are rolling over

8. Drawn To The Flame

Playing with fire gets you burned

I knew it but still I didn`t take heed

Two is company, three`s a crowd

I knew that too but still I couldn`t let go

It`s burning me, burning me

Like a beggar for money I`m drawn

Between two fires I stand

Filled with a flame both bitter and sweet

It`s burning me, burning me

Like a beggar for money I`m drawn

To the flame

I am the one to blame

Flame

I have been drawn to the flame

I`m burned by the fire

That is you

9. Forth Into The Black

He`s always walking in the shadows of your minds

He`s never talking…

Silence betrays, a smile on his face

Never there, never here, never feel any fear

But he`s always everywhere

Never give, never take, never lave nor forsake

Sometimes our life ain`t so fair

Close your eyes, he`s near yet too far

Be strong and be what you really are

Forth into the black

You can hear him calling your name

Forth into the black

You can feel it, like thunder and rain

Embrace your life, take care of your soul

This time you`ll be alone

He`s waiting your turn, expecting you to never learn

This is the game we all are going to lose

Now hold on, this is your call

don`t let it go or you`ll fall

And when the time has come, he`ll be here for you

You better not run, `cause you will never come back

You`re going forth into the black

10. Evil Within

Can you hear my silent whisper

Can you hear my confession

Can you feel this rising anger

Can you see me I`m burning inside

Evil thoughts running through my soul

I`ll never stop acting my role

I will unleash my endless pain

I will unleash my fire

Come closer and take my hand

Come with me and you will undertand

Evil thoughts running through my soul

I`ll never stop acting my role

There are sinners and saints

There will be always treasures and waste

There will be always two ways to go

At the crossroads we stand lost and alone

This feeling is haunting me

It`s pulling me down

This madness is killing me

It`s tearing my heart out I`m loosing my mind
