Lyric Video by Gabriel Management http://www.gabrielmanagement.eu
***
States keyboardist Henrik "Henkka" Klingenberg: "'The Rest Of The Sun Belongs To Me' was a song that first appeared as a bonus track for Japan back in 2003, just around the time I joined the band. When we started to arrange songs for the second »Acoustic Adventures« tour in 2019, this song somehow kept popping up and we decided to give it a go. Our dear friend Masi Hukari who joined us on stage for the tour did a lot of the work on this particular arrangement and I think that his input was really important in how this song turned out. For this record, we used the live arrangement as a starting point and I don't think the song changed that much, so what you hear is a slightly refined version of the 2019 tour arrangement. We decided to use this song as the first single since it's really different from the original studio version and as always, we prefer to offer something new and interesting for our fans and for ourselves as well."

The Rest Of The Sun Belongs To Me
I have no feelings, there is no more sunlight
The darkest hour is now here
I must have lost it for good, staying here without a fight
Out in the cold and windy night
Still waiting for a sign
I know there is still a day for me
One short moment is still enough for me
Bring me life with your ray of light
If only I found a small piece of the fallen sun…
I wait for the day that will come
Wait for the sunlight, wait for the one
You can do what you want with the sea
But the rest of the Sun belongs to me
The winter fell on me and ended my life
The darkest hour is now here
Yet one more frozen month, my Hell awaits me
Out in the cold and windy night
Still waiting for a sign
I know there is still a day for me
One short moment is still enough for me
Bring me life with your ray of light
If only I found a small piece of the fallen sun…
I wait for the day that will come
Wait for the sunlight, wait for the one
You can do what you want with the sea
But the rest of the Sun belongs to me
I wait for the day that will come
Wait for the sunlight, wait for the one
You can do what you want with the sea
But the rest of the Sun belongs to me
I know there is still a day for me
One short moment is still enough for me
Bring me life with your ray of light
If only I found a small piece of the fallen sun…
I wait for the day that will come
Wait for the sunlight, wait for the one
You can do what you want with the sea
But the rest of the Sun belongs to me
I wait for the day that will come
Wait for the sunlight, wait for the one
You can do what you want with the sea
But the rest of the Sun belongs to me

For The Sake Of Revenge
We have been stuck in here a day, seeking
Answers for all eternity, or something
Hear the meaning, speaking in me
Have faith in me, have faith in me
I cannot say that I am fine
And take all you say at face value
I've talked to you more than I have
Have faith in me, have faith in me
I've talked too much today
You don't trust me
So I keep on talking in every way.
Across the sea I hear you calling me
For the sake of revenge you command me
This ain't over, no it's never over
'Till the fat lady sings, you love me
I'm tired, yet I am swimming
You will not let go of me, you are drowning
As you're quietly pulling me under
We will never make it unless you let go
There's no crime, yet I stand accused
And I see the solution naked before me.
You reduced me to a weapon, unlike you
Have faith in me, have faith in me
I cannot hear, though I incline my ear, why do I even try
I've told you all 'bout what I am
Have faith in me, have faith in me
I'm feeling weak today
Please, don't crush me
I keep on walking, far away.
I keep on crawling, all in vain
I am feeling slow today
So don't rush me
We live this wretched serenade
You keep me playing, anyway
Across the sea I hear you calling me
For the sake of revenge you will command me
This ain't over, it's never over
'Till the fat lady sings, you love me
I'm so tired, yet keep on swimming
You will not let go of me, you're drowning
Now you're quietly pulling me under
Oh so quietly pulling me under

Lyrics:
Paid In Full
I was nowhere near ready when all it ended
So I hoped we could find a new day, cannot live without you
You gave me the chance, time and again, in vain
Now my feelings for you, every tear, every smile, paid in full
Break the chain, but no longer can I take the pain
It's hard for me to love myself right now,
I've waited, hated, blamed it all on you
Needed to be strong, yet I was always too weak
So I can only blame myself for this state we are in
I will take what you have for me now, if it's not too late
Did you change? I did too. Love can grow from the last grain
It's hard for me to love myself right now,
I've waited, hated, blamed it all on...
You...
I need you...less and less...
Every day feeds this moral decay
Yet I have grown to love you even more
I fall back, and I turn another cheek.
You mouth the words you're not ready to speak
You're scared of me now; no I never had a clue
That I'd become so much stronger than you.
I will take - what you have - for me now, if it's not too late
If you like, I will leave; I will not miss the last train again
It's hard for me to love myself right now,
I've waited, hated, blamed it all on you...
It's hard for me to love your face right now
I'm waiting, hating, needing being
Me...
I need you...less and less...
Every day leads us farther away...
From that moment
It hard for me to hate myself right now
Finally I'm understanding me
One day we may have whole new me's and you's
But first I need to learn to love me too...

Lyrics:
Far in the skies
Where the stars attach to the strings
You have seen angels fall, when a monster clips their wings
Darkness tonight
Someone whispers in the void
The loveliest things in your ear
You’ve been warned, you must avoid
When you hear the bells, heed the call
Tread without a fear, my friend
On your shoulder we behold
A monster only you can’t see
Anymore
Can we keep the rain abay
Once, you were sliding away
All the way down, without a rail, you
Tried a new way
Driving everyone away
Your eyes cannot lie like your face
There is no glory in disgrace, but
Friends are near
We are here
We still carry all those
Things you believed in, asshole
We have bent the rules
We have lied
Loved and known you’ll rise again
Friends will do all this for you
Child is aborn
Oh so feeble in this place
You are the guide they adore
Hopelessly lost within a maze, but
Friends are near…
We have bent the rules…
We will bend the rules
We will fight
Help you, we will win tonight
Spread your wings and you will rise
Sure, your mind weighs like a boulder
There’s a monster on your shoulder
Words and phrases, meanings, faces
Virtues, vices,
Your luck’s based on balanced dices
We are you, you are us
Always, you’re one of us
Respect, asshole
You don’t know just how much we sometimes have sacrificed to be there for you
Your keys and the keyholes once will be found
Dreams and reality, aligned
You’ve grown and found things you thought were left behind
Smile and you will see this world smile back at you
We’ve bent rules for you
We have lied
Loved and known you’ll rise again
Friends will do it all for you
We will bend the rules
We will fight
Help you, we will win tonight
Spread your wings and you will rise
We will bend the rules
We will fight
Love and know you’ll rise again
Friends will do all this for you
We will bend the rules…

Lyrics:
So, you told everyone
You're falling in love
With this wonderful guy
The kind you all have to see
Touching your soul
Reaching to your heart
Knowing your needs
Making you beautiful
Walks on the beach
Calling you
Mon chéri
Dancing tonight
Holding you close
Scanning your pains
Naming them, learning them
Feeding the love
Sent from above
You think when I claim
You are my everything
Little too much, little too soon, you think Sometimes Soon you will learn that my love is
A riddle, I´m a mourning dove
Turning brittle, you shall become
What I need you to feed me, love
Intimidated, weep
Love me, feed me pain so deep
While I still need to hear you
Call me your love
Stand in the rain, alone in the dark
Wait for a train you know will never come
Hip-hip hooray, you can´t wish me away
Now that I have the key
And know when you´re home alone
I have never let you know me,
My love,
Changing the locks, changing your name, I´m a
Riddle, I´m a mourning dove…
Love, always, lonely,
Feed me love, feed me pain,
Weakness you have shown me
Fills my dark, bruise-black heart
Always, only mine, you are
Perfect life
Perfect, I
HA!
You will learn how deep a bruise can be
You will learn my name, unriddle me
Once upon, guess I was made this way
Beauty, trusting love, my fuel, my prey
Tell me you're merely token,
My love
Tell me you're forever broken
Riddle, I´m a mourning dove
Turning brittle, you shall become
What I need you to feed me, love
Intimidated, weep
Love me, feed me pain so deep
Cause I still need to hear…
Still need your pain, keep feeding me, love

Front-man Tony Kakko adds, "This is a song about persons who think that it's possible and okay to charm and have any and all people for themselves - use and lose - and who don't care about the amount of pain and broken hearts left behind. And now you're the target, but you know better and make sure that this will not happen until 'California falls into the sea,' what I've come to understand is impossible and will never happen, at least in the sense of science fiction. Simply put: The track deals with self-protection. If you're strong enough, you can of course give such persons a serving of their own poison what can be satisfying."

Lyrics:
So, you think you now have found yourself a game
With smiles and lies you climb the walls
To every heart, far apart
The seer’s thousand faces share a name
A thousand tales, unfolding now within a day, everywhere
Scars keep score
The broken pieces, gold on the floor
For you, love’s a game, a chore
Counting the rounds like a revolving door I’m yours on the day when
California falls into the sea
The birds know the way and fly away, if one day
California falls into the sea
You’ll never find the way, the key
To lock me down, I’m free
Now, as you have failed to hear me out, again
Made deaf by your own open mouth…
I think it’s only fair I live my life
Enjoy the day, go find my beach
And have my moments in the sun
Scars keep score
The broken pieces, gold on the floor
For you, love’s a game, a chore
Counting the rounds like a revolving door I’m yours on the day when
California falls into the sea
California falls into the sea
California falls into the sea
California falls into the sea
The day you find a way to lock me down
California falls into the sea
California falls into the sea
You wait for
California to fall into the sea
I cannot find a tongue you speak
I’ve tried them all, can you leave me be?
Preeeeego!
When California falls into the sea
When California falls in to the sea
It’s safe to say
We’ll never see the day
