Let me see your hands in the air 00:00

00:19

Deep was my anguish for those words 00:32

They froze my blood and changed my soul 00:36

The master has spoken, the truth, not any lies 00:40

The Devil gives and evil takes 00:47

The thing in life that man forsakes 00:51

A throne in hell, a price or a sacrifice 00:56

Yeah 01:04

01:06

Still the wind was blowing soft 01:19

And gentle here under the oak 01:23

Which gave me shelter and rest for my trial 01:27

I'm not strong, weak is my mind 01:35

A new beginning, where to find? 01:39

I'm the last one on earth, please forgive us our crime, come on 01:43

Oh-oh, ah-ah 01:55

It was a time when love was mine 02:00

Oh-oh, ah-ah 02:07

Now it's time to sacrifice, it's time 02:15

02:25

My heart, bleeding for my race 03:06

The traces of mankind sweeped out 03:24

By the hand of our Lord, now they're dead 03:31

03:37

I cried for the ones I lost 03:43

Midnight in paradise, grief 04:01

Away goes my hope 04:08

04:12

I cried for the ones I lost 04:22

04:30

Hear my prayers 04:59

Climbing on the clouds above 05:01

05:10

Silent cry 05:13

Reach the inner halls of truth 05:17

Give me a sign 05:25

We need you to sing, Stockholm 05:27

Come on 05:32

Oh-oh, ah-ah 05:32

A crimson sky, bless my eyes (sing it) 05:49

Oh-oh, ah-ah 05:56

Up goes the sun, my time has come 06:03

It has come 06:10

Oh-oh 06:10

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Let me see your hands in the air

...

Deep was my anguish for those words

They froze my blood and changed my soul

The master has spoken, the truth, not any lies

The Devil gives and evil takes

The thing in life that man forsakes

A throne in hell, a price or a sacrifice

Yeah

...

Still the wind was blowing soft

And gentle here under the oak

Which gave me shelter and rest for my trial

I'm not strong, weak is my mind

A new beginning, where to find?

I'm the last one on earth, please forgive us our crime, come on

Oh-oh, ah-ah

It was a time when love was mine

Oh-oh, ah-ah

Now it's time to sacrifice, it's time

...

My heart, bleeding for my race

The traces of mankind sweeped out

By the hand of our Lord, now they're dead

...

I cried for the ones I lost

Midnight in paradise, grief

Away goes my hope

...

I cried for the ones I lost

...

Hear my prayers

Climbing on the clouds above

...

Silent cry

Reach the inner halls of truth

Give me a sign

We need you to sing, Stockholm

Come on

Oh-oh, ah-ah

A crimson sky, bless my eyes (sing it)

Oh-oh, ah-ah

Up goes the sun, my time has come

It has come

Oh-oh
