I don´t want to live my lifealone without you
but we have to end this war.
I hope to find a way this timeas I stand outside your door.
I come unarmed tonight to stop this endless fight.
I just want to hold you. Wish I could reveal my heart,
should have shown you from the start my love from you.

I don´t even know if you will listen to me or if you´ll ever let me in.
I just know this can´t go on, there is nothing here to win,
cause this is not a war that can be won.

I come unarmed tonight, my love will shine a light,
I am here to hold you.

In the middle of the night, if you want me, I´ll be by your side.
In the thunder and the storm I´ll stay with you, when the tide is high.
I´m the one who´ll be standing before you on mybended knees.
I´m the voice you´ll hear in the distance calling, baby.

And this time I will do anything in my might,
our love is a fire that´s burning so bright.

I come unarmed tonight, my love will shine a light,
I just want to hold you. I should have told you from the start,
now I will reveal my heart, believe me, my love!
(I come unarmed tonight) my love will shine a light,
I should have told you from the start, now I must reveal my heart,
believe me, my love!

I like to think that I am more than just the dust I´m made of.
That there´s a purpose to be found before they lay me in the ground.
Somebody said that God is dead, I say he´s only sleeping.
So tired of waiting, for the likes of you and me to come around.
The moon is conquered now, the sphere of influence must grow.
The sky is not the limit, it lies much closer don´t you know.

I do believe that every child is born to love.
I do believe that every soldierbreaks a holy promise.
I do believe that God is watching from above.
I do believe the cure for ignorance is love.

Ashes turn to ashes and dust will turn to dust, it doesn´t change.
Annihalation seems to be the only thing that will remain.
There is no mountain left to climb, no trail that we must follow.
Nowhere to turn this time, look inside your heart and you will find.
We reach beyond the stars, as always driven by our pride.
We look for ready answers but fail to see what´s deep inside.

I do believe...

The only way that I can choose, the only thing that doesn´t lose.
But still the hardest thing to find.
I pray the Gods will give us rain, to wash away the hurt and pain.
And leave my wounded heart behind.

I do believe...

Love turned to tears (as) days turned to years,
the future I saw is gone. Did I let it slide?
Or hold on to tight? I don´t know where I went wrong.
Did I do too much or not enough? I guess I will never know.
A cold wind is blowing... and lost is the love that glowed.

The promise was a game much more than I could take.
You promised and my body, mind and soul were at stake.
You promised to be true, I lost myself to you.
I never knew forever was the vow you would break.

I´m trying to fight the pain deep inside
and somehow I don´t know why.
I still pray one day you´ll say to me
that love never really died.
But this is just dreaming
I know has passed me by.

The promise was a game much more than I could take.
You promised and my body, mind and soul were at stake.
You promised to be true, and I lost myself to you.
I never knew forever was the vow you would break.

Your promise was a game...

YOU'RE ALWAYS HERE

Musik och text: Christian Antblad, Phil Anquetil, Adam Argyle

You´re the sound, in the silence.
You´re the light, in the darkness that will guide me, to where I must go.
You´re the air that surrounds me.
You´re the fate and you found me when I needed you the most.
And even with my eyes closed I know you´re there.
And when I have to let go I´m not scared.

You´re the wings when I´m falling.
You´re the voice and you´re always there so I know, I´m not alone.
You´re the fire that´s burning.
You´re the reason my heart beats.
You´re the yearning, the glow of my soul.
And even with my eyes closed I know you´re there.
And when I have to let go I´m not scared.

To trust what I don´t see, I just have to believe
and you are here with me.

And even with my eyes closed I know you´re there.
And when I have to let go I´m not scared.
Tell me you believe in me and even if the wind blows
I know you´re there.
Tell me you´re there for me, you´re.
You´re in and all around me and I don´t fear.
To trust what I don´t see, I just have to believe
and you are here with me.

You´re always here with me.

I´m standing here thinking 'bout what you told me lat night.
There´s so many things in life today I want to change.
Cause you said I´m still searching for the love of my life,
and I realized in one brief moment that you were right.
And I know today I don´t want to live this way.
That I want to change. Here I am, here I am!

I don´t want to waste another minute.
I don´t want to throw away your love.
Finally I realize that you were the one I was looking for.
Everytime I looked for something different.
Everytime that I ignored my heart.
Everytime I failed to see that you were the one I was looking for.

I hope you believe me after all that I`ve done.
I have spent so many years of searching, being blind.
You were here, you were waiting and you´ve always been right.
When you told me I would find a meaning if I fight.
And I know today though it´s been hard to say.
If you want my heart. Here I am, here I am!

I don´t want to waste another minute.
I don´t want to throw away our love.
Finally I realize that you were the one I was looking for.

You were always here, and now I finally see what you mean to me.
This time I will never let you go.

I don´t want to waste another minute.
I don´t want to throw away our love.
Finally I realize that you were the one I was looking for.
Everytime I looked for something different.
Everytime that I ignored my heart.
Everytime I failed to see that you were the one I was looking for.

When someone comes along as beautiful as you, who tenderly explores, and opens secret doors like you are now.
When someone comes so close that they can read your soul.
It feels with every touch you´re being lifted up onto safer ground.

No one has to hurt, I believe the promises in your eyes and knowing
I don´t have to be afraid, I can finally stay and face forever.
Now that you´re the meaning of the word and I know that I´ll be safe inside your heart, no one has to hurt.

Phantoms of the night that hang inside my dreams, scaring me to sleep,
cannot get to me with you in my arms as long as you are…

No one has to hurt, I believe the promise in your eyes and knowing
I don´t have to be afraid, I can finally stay and face forever.
Now that you´re the meaning of the word and I know that I´ll be safe inside when no one ever has to say goodbye.

I love you enough to know I trust you, and no one has to hurt.

No one has to hurt, I believe the promise in your eyes and knowing I don´t have to be afraid, I can finally stay and face forever.
Now, that you´re the meaning of the word and I know that I´ll be safe inside your heart, no one has to hurt.

No one has to hurt.

Jag vill pröva att va ärlig om dom känslor som nu brinner i mitt blod.
Men så fort hon kommer nära blir jag rädd och då försvinner allt mitt mod. Allting som hon gör är stort och magiskt, allting blir en resa i det blå,
även om mitt liv är ganska tragiskt ska jag ändå älska henne så.

Och det börja som en saga, det var längesen, men dock, det var en gång. Och nu känns det som jag hamnat i refrängen till en alltför välkänd sång. Allting som hon gör är stort och magiskt, allting blir en resa i det blå.
Även om mitt liv är ganska tragiskt ska jag ändå älska hennes så.

Tusen gånger tusen om, tar jag telefon. Frågan ”ska vi gifta oss?” är svår att komma från. Men min rädsla hinner före, är jag galen, är jag dum?
Innan tungan börjar tala blir jag alltid lika stum.

Allting som hon gör…

I painted dreams of years to come.
I drew the lines of my imaginary sun.
Just like a diary that waited for me
that promised more than I could dare believe.
I painted faces from my dream.
I chose the colours were far away from me.
I prayed for stardust that would show me the way I had
but that one dream to save the day.
And here I stand with no more dues to pay.
I´m on my way, I´m on my way.

When I was down, when life was grey,
when I was on the ground and saw the picture fade.
When I felt lost I learned to trust,
the light that I had in me and I painted dreams.

I painted skies without a cloud
I drew an image that would make a dreamer proud.
I filled that canvas with my heart and my soul.
I kept the fire burning through the cold.
And here I stand with no more dues to pay.
I´m on my way, I´m on my way.

When I was down, when life was grey,
when I was on the ground and saw the picture fade.
When I felt lost, I learned to trust
the light that I had in me and I painted dreams.

I watch that picture with a smile.
I know that it came true if only for a while.
And in that picture I can truly see.
I see who I am and why I painted dreams.

Come on stop the masquerade
uncover your disguise.
You don´t need to be afraid,
the truth will make your rise.
I´m aware that I´m not God
I´m just a messenger.
But no matter what you want
you have to pay the price.

Il salvatore, il salvatore,
a truthful heart is the greatest victory.
Il salvatore, il salvatore,
the choice is yours, I´m the savior.

I´m not here to take your life.
I´m here to save your soul.
Let the truth become your light
that´ll lead you way back home.
I´ll forgive you for your sins
if you believe in me.

Il salvatore…

He can save you if you let him.
He can save your life today.

Il salvatore…

Svensk text: Ninne Olsson

Här är jag, ensam I natten sen du gick,
utan att komma fram till nåt som helst beslut.
Och där är du, smet ut som katten,
utan att nämna ett enda ord om att det är slut.
Men du var ju den som tog steget,
du lämnade mitt liv och försvann.
Jag hann inte med innan allt var för sent
för jag är en aningslös man.

Dan du gick, jag såg det nästan som om du flytt.
Du sa du ville försöka att skapa något nytt.
Men hur det är med dej och mej så ordnar det nog ändå sej.
För du var ju den som tog steget, du tog så mycket mer än du gav.
Kvar blev känslan att allt var för sent när du gav dej av.

Men hur det är med dej och mej, att skiljas åt,
kan du tänka dej någonting så trist?
Så vi får nog varandra till sist.
