Final Wisdom

[Thomas Vikström]
Dead of the night
Only emptiness
Surrounds us there

Cry into the light
Longing for the mystery
That we one knew

Now so far away
From my childhood longing
Where is the embrace
That I once knew?
Now so far away
A conflict grown within
Where is the embrace
My faith on the edge

The light is fading
A dark desire
And with it my faith
Like raging fire
Dividing powers
In ancient riddles
Bringing balance
Of good and evil

[Bridge 1: Christian Liljegren]
Why, why are you so afraid?
You wish you could turn back time

[Chorus:]
[Thomas] We all see the final wisdom
[Caroline] We all will kneel in fear of freedom
[Thomas] We all will reach the final frontier
[Caroline] We all will see a new dawn rising

[Christian Liljegren]
Echoes from the past
Fools your future
Enter the gate
Of a dead empire

[Violin lead]

[Christian Liljegren]
You're cast out
Your crown has been taken
You don't belong
Among the sacred

[Thomas Vikström]
You're cast out
Your crown has been taken
You don't belong
Among the sacred

[Guitar solo: Markus]

[Thomas Vikström]
Now traded places
We carry on
Misled by the lies
Into new dimensions
Again I fail you
I am so tired
Give me the strength
To hold the fire

[Bridge 2: Christian Liljegren]
Why, why am I so afraid
To do what my heart desire

[Chorus:]
[Thomas] We all see the final wisdom
[Caroline] We all will kneel in fear of freedom
[Thomas] We all will reach the final frontier
[Caroline] We all will see a new dawn rising

[Guitar & keyboard solos: Markus & Kaspar]

[Christian Liljegren]
I, I am the hunter and you, so obvious my prey
You, you better see me, you
You better kneel before me

[Thomas Vikström]
I am waiting, I am waiting for a blood-red sky
I am waiting, I am waiting for a sign to come

[Guitar & keyboard lead: Markus & Kaspar]

[Erik Tordsson]
Oh, I must take my place in the crowd
Oh, I must leave my past far behind

[Caroline Sigfridsson]
I am waiting, I am waiting for a blood-red sky
I am waiting, I am waiting for a sign to come

[Thomas Vikström]
Will you watch over me at night?
Will you follow my steps tomorrow?

(I've opened the gate to your realm,
You will be the lord of my dreams)

[Caroline Sigfridsson]
I feel the winter come
It brings me down in despair
I wish the spring would come
So I could meet you there

[Thomas Vikström]
I feel the winter come
It brings me down in despair
Yeah, I wish the spring would come
So I could meet you there

[Chorus:]
[Thomas] We all see the final wisdom
[Caroline] We all will kneel in fear of freedom
[Thomas] We all will reach the final frontier
[Caroline] We all will see a new dawn rising
We all see...
We all will kneel...
We all will reach...
We all will see...

[Keyboard solo: Kaspar]

[Thomas Vikström]
Storms and disasters will come my way
But I will never give up on the path that I aim

[Guitar lead: Markus]

[Thomas Vikström]
Time will move on but I am heading the right way
I wait for spring and then a bright summer day

Storms and disasters will come my way
I will never give up on the path that I aim
Storms and disasters will come my way... come my way...
I will never give up on the path that I aim
