Omnium Gatherum The Red Shift 1. Nail Suspicious Yet eyes full of strength A wicked smile To pass you by He doesn't care Yet the grin brings out The compassion A four string hero A nail of a man Closer...closer Gigantic sleeping FAL-L for us The nail Will cut you deep And he still does not care The nail will bring you the keeper Of the eternal sleeper And suddenly Like a flash of light Disappears And reappears again He is moving And he doesn't sleep It is up to you Will you laugh Or cry The nail will suck you dry Bone dry. -- Most of us 2. A Shadowkey The canvas tells Every truth For older are Nights and days And everything in between This canvas rates The coming youth The younger one Hides in their ways Knows all the plays By heart For aeons And nanos We danced My love The tru-e-st, Queen of night Various Are the places Of the youth A little slower Walk The older cru In their suits I held you so dearly I held you too long I truly am Compassioned My queen There are steps to wonder And eye-sides (ice to cover yourself in-to) But love holds the night-white Lighter key -- Don't know how 3. Chameleon Skin Sleep! To slip through realms A light beam To fulfill the shadow And a team Is sometimes what you -need- Growing stronger by the nano(aeon) Then pay heed To what I say, No more day by day Sin-king Into agony See Now the shape is Different again And again Back to Little old me From time to time You have to be Like A chameleon dream Bliss Growing more silent By the aeon Then Pay The need To hear What I say No more Endless awaken hours Never to dream hopelessly Climbing The snake-skin-thing -- To redeploy energy 4. No Breaking Point The light(night) Is ever so bright Through this dark Of the night(light) Despite the fall You might fall Pay attention All right! Listen with All your might Don't let them Break you They deserve a fight You wish To have a plan for me A laid out answer For sore and sad eyes But the butterfly It flies away With memories -- The proper way 5. The Return Pick it up From there Where it was left Aright thing to do Multiply Yours truly Be a star among the stars So far Joining and sharing the light We all are There is no real burden In helping others Realize the angel Inside a promise All those years They were never in vain 'cause the pain It guides the way Back home Don't you fall back You are worth the honour And if they cry Weep with them And give away All you ever received Don't you... Enjoy the talks with me Don't you... Respect the privacy -- Thus... 6. Shapes And Shades Soaring over the black nights sea Dressed with white garments of light Eyes keen on the promise -so, I have returned- There is no real chance I'd ever run out of bombs And indeed I can behave as wished When I wish Seen the lighthouse of the promise Promised to keep Yet the light is moving It is moving away from me But i am not even trying to catch it Eventually It will come to me Not here to Harm Worship Break Submit unto You Here to love you Until-and over the end There are forms of worms Trying to seize it all And they keep failing and falling 'cause the garden is sealed From there with ill- Will As the crossing over happens Without smile or tears Leave every-thing behind -- Our ultimate goal 7. The Redshifter What if? There is no re-action What then? Eyes assuming direct action Just to be safe Hide the eyes From the ever hungry Just in case for nightfall Keep 'em focused but not blind Not too bright What if? There is no reflection What then? Ears consuming the distortion I saw them In deserted space They were served by sin They laughed Cried Smiled With no eyes You have to be warned of what you are About to see -- Is never 8. Greeneyes I need a reason To go back Out of the season To fall into black Your staring eyes Captivate me Yet I am free The air is quiet For we are joined as one And still you look as though There is nothing wrong In the echo I am free in the echo Is there something wrong in the echo -- Completely 9. The Second Flame You grow In a maze of evolution Bout you don't know The right part to heal It won't be your flesh Despite you need it Or the intellect The one from where you Feed it Just keep appearing inside Higher is deeper In a soft, warm and natural light Trying to keep it clean To keep it clean To make it last the fight (like a knight) And I will be the one who kneels alone I'll be the one And they will be the ones The 2nd flame Burns brighter at the end of the day You flow In a haze of this illusion But you don't know Which part to feel Be it in your bodies? 'cause you need 'em Or the intellect? The one from where you Feed 'em Just keep appealing inside Higher is deeper And it was kind of like love Then grew a-part -- In sight 10. Song For December [Instrumental] -- I live with the fear 11. Distant Light Highway Seen the ways of the old Hung around With the newbies Out in the cold For matters and reasons now long gone I'm told Bold moves souls sold And you wish you were special Each passing day Hey you visitors And the sons of the mother Let me sing you a song A melody from a tear Carved out of fear They are gathered into my heart Count the moment A leap over a gorge Lash the whip if you must But remember Gentlemen are known to talk and walk This centered path took 'em home Where the father and the unknown are known To disappear From the yearning thoughts of men We never caved All the souls were saved Just to be bold -- So should you Line-up: Jukka Pelkonen : Vocals Markus Vanhala : Guitars Harri Pikka : Guitars Toni Mäki : Bass Aapo Koivisto : Synthesizer Jarmo Pikka : Drums This album was recorded at Sound Supreme Studios in Hämeenlinna, Finland with Janne Saksa and SouthEastSounds studio in Karhula with Teemu Aalto.
