Noose[music: Tenkula & Sentenced, lyrics: Lopakka]No way out of your miseryAlone in pain and agonyLay depressed and hollowOne thought in your mind-No TomorrowAnd then you had made up your mindand thought it was your timeYou left this world without shedding a tearwithout hope, without fearSo you thought you'd just put your headinto the Noose and let it all go...and so you didOh yeah, you didNow you come haunting every nightCalling my name until I...wake up feeling this sorrowOne thought in my mind- I will followI'll drink the booze to depress myselfthen I take the rope and express myselfI'll leave this world without shedding a tearwithout hope, without fearYeah, I think I'll put my headinto the Noose and let it all go...and so I willOh yeah, I willI'll take the rope, just like youand wherever you are, I'll be tooI think I'll just put my headinto the Noose and let it all go...and so I willOh yeah, I will3. Shadegrown[music: Tenkula & Sentenced, lyrics: Lopakka]I have dwelled in the darkso long that I have become the nightHere only the chilling Northwindcan give warmth to my lifeThere comes the morning light and brings the pain...slashing my heartIt goes by slowly and makes the pain last forever...it tears me apartI'm drowning in this lightI'm dying, it's so brightI have lived in the shades- Make the Glow go awayCome cast your shadow over meand I'll cast mine all over theeTake me away, into the shadeswhere there is no light of day(to harm my way)Come with me and we'll flee from this worldacross the nightly skyBelieve me, you'll be freeas we take our ride on the darksideI'm drowning in this lightI'm dying, it's so brightI have lived in the shades- Make the Glow go awayCome cast your shadow over meand I'll cast mine all over theeTake me away, into the shadeswhere there is no light of dayCome cast your shadow over meI'll give you immortalityLet's walk away, into the shadeswhere there is no light of dayTo Harm Our Way4. Bleed[music: Tenkula & Sentenced, lyrics: Lopakka]Burnt all bridges I have passedNo looking back to the life I once had...- The hate for myself is all that's left now"As blood runs down my armsI feel peace in my heart..."On my skin, the razor blade is shining brightThe veins show clearly through, my blood is running wildThe deep red flowing within, longing to be freeA little pressure's all it takes to make me bleed...to death5. Keep My Grave Open[music: Lopakka & Sentenced, lyrics: Lopakka](Hunt or be hunted)The days are hotand the dead lie unburied on the fieldSo the wind brings the smell of blood;- so heavy and sweetThey're back again- we came so near and yet so farThey're all aroundand if they come any closer...We're doneKeep My Grave Open, open wideKeep My Grave Open, I'm longing to die- Cool and peaceful, and far from the battlefields...and opened just for meThe moon shuts her eyesand great black clouds cover the skyRain bathes the groundwhile we live in darkness like the blind...6. Crumbling Down (Give Up Hope)[music: Tenkula & Sentenced, lyrics: Lopakka]Like roses wither so does hopeas we approach our final fateA new dawn of man?Oh no, can't you feel, the End is on its way...It's all over, said and done, haven't you heard?We are living our last days in this worldOh, Give Up Hope, do it nowthe world is coming Crumbling Downwe have passedthe point of No Return by farand swept away the last sheds of hopeA new dawn of man?Oh no, can't you feel, the End is on its way...It's all over, said and done, haven't you heard?We are living our last days on this earthOh, your days are over!Your world is finished!Down down down downThy kingdom goneDown down down downMy kingdom comeThis is itThis is the EndFree at last7. Sun Won't Shine[music: Tenkula & Sentenced, lyrics: Lopakka]The candles have been blown out by the winddon't be scared, my love, I'm right by your sideI still remember the times I walked alone...deaduntil you woke me up and made me come aliveWith her love she feeds the fire in my heartAnd in her eyes, oh the birth of starsThe sun won't shine on me without your love...don't you knowThe cold wind kills the flame in my heart...by its blowShe gave me everything I had cravedthrough the years of painthe years of painWith her love she feeds the fire in my heartOh she's my only lightIn the darkThe sun won't shine on me without your love...don't you knowThe cold wind kills the flame in my heart...by its blowDead Calm all around8. Ode To The End[music: Tenkula & Sentenced, lyrics: Laihiala & Lopakka]Looking down through clouds of ironat the shattered remains of the worldNew bays on coasts, new land in the seaDeserts of ash... on Death Row EarthOpen your eyes to realize...Your source of life exists no morePale obsolete is the whole of mebut yet I feel more than ever beforeSo came our time - the time that lasts foreverand through the death we frolic endlesslyToo many years of pain and sorrowI hope my life leaves me be... deadEmotions which I kept are no longer in my head'cause all the words I said, they showed...I was dying to be deadClose your eyes to see why the dark desiretempts my soul, oh my friendCome, listen to my mind and feel the fireThis is the Ode to the EndDon't hold your sight - I know there's no heaven...I believe we all have our personal Helland don't be scared, take death with open armsand you'll feel so warm and peacefull...9. 0132[Tenkula & Sentenced]10.

I'll Throw The First Rock[music: Tenkula & Sentenced, lyrics: Lopakka & Laihiala]I could hear them speaking of those"Good Old Days" that never wereThose hollow containers for soulswho no longer live there...It dwells in my heart, the eternal hateTo get your share just wait (and see)There are no strangers in this worldonly bastards I haven't met...and my skeptic way of thinkingturns away the joys they shedIt dwells in my heart, the eternal rageAnd now I'll blast it on your face!I'll throw the First Rock- Blacken your world and your sunI'll throw the First RockI'll throw the first oneYou'll crumble to the groundAs I throw the rock that brings youdownMiika Tenkula - lead guitarSami Lopakka - guitarVille Laihiala - vocalsVesa Ranta - drumsRecorded and mixed at Woodhouse Studios in autumn 1996Produced by Waldemar SorychtaEngineered by Siggi Bemm and Valdemar SorychtaBass played by TenkulaAcoustic guitars by Tenkula & LopakkaKeyboards played by Waldemar SorychtaFemale vocal performances by Birgit ZacherAdditional vocals by Vorph and SentencedAll music and lyrics by the Northernmost Killers themselves!!
