| [00:05.729] | Part I: ”White Lands of Empathica” |
| [00:34.590] | The end. |
| [00:34.608] | The songwriter's dead. |
| [00:41.80] | The blade fell upon him |
| [00:47.456] | Taking him to the white lands |
| [00:54.60] | Of Empathica |
| [01:01.296] | Of Innocence |
| [01:08.289] | Empathica |
| [01:14.598] | Innocence |
| [01:25.729] | Part II: ”Home” |
| [01:59.399] | The dreamer and the wine |
| [02:05.700] | Poet without a rhyme |
| [02:09.289] | A widowed writer torn apart by chains of hell |
| [02:15.420] | One last perfect verse |
| [02:18.740] | Is still the same old song |
| [02:22.430] | Oh Christ how I hate what I have become |
| [02:29.879] | Take me home |
| [02:34.480] | Get away, run away, fly away |
| [02:37.700] | Lead me astray to dreamer's hideaway |
| [02:41.200] | I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more |
| [02:44.200] | I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world |
| [02:47.790] | Forgive me |
| [02:48.850] | I have but two faces |
| [02:50.150] | One for the world |
| [02:52.170] | One for God |
| [02:53.100] | Save me |
| [02:54.300] | I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more |
| [02:57.190] | I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world |
| [03:15.700] | My home was there and then |
| [03:18.230] | Those meadows of heaven |
| [03:22.100] | Adventure-filled days |
| [03:24.500] | One with every smiling face |
| [03:29.100] | Please, no more words |
| [03:31.420] | Thoughts from a severed head |
| [03:34.850] | No more praise |
| [03:37.110] | Tell me once my heart goes right |
| [03:42.900] | Take me home |
| [03:47.250] | Get away, run away, fly away |
| [03:50.600] | Lead me astray to dreamer's hideaway |
| [03:53.700] | I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more |
| [03:56.900] | I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world |
| [04:00.490] | Forgive me |
| [04:01.460] | I have but two faces |

| [04:06.710] | I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more |
| [04:09.890] | I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world |
| [04:24.700] | Part III: ”The Pacific” |
| [04:51.500] | Sparkle my scenery |
| [05:00.100] | With turquoise waterfall |
| [05:05.300] | With beauty underneath |
| [05:07.899] | The Ever Free |
| [05:12.100] | Tuck me in beneath the blue |
| [05:20.900] | Beneath the pain, beneath the rain |
| [05:29.790] | Goodnight kiss for a child in time |
| [05:38.730] | Swaying blade my lullaby |
| [05:54.700] | On the shore we sat and hoped |
| [06:02.180] | Under the same pale moon |
| [06:05.800] | Whose guiding light chose you |
| [06:09.410] | Chose you all |
| [06:34.0] | Would you like to rape my rotten carcass |
| [06:35.800] | dissect my heart, desecrate my rest |
| [06:40.709] | it would make you come, wouldn't it? |
| [06:43.700] | You live long enough to hear the sound of guns, |
| [06:46.190] | long enough to find yourself screaming every night, |
| [06:50.200] | long enough to see your friends betray you. |
| [06:55.400] | For eleven years I've been strapped unto this altar. |
| [06:58.750] | Now I only have 3 minutes and counting. |
| [07:01.420] | I just wish the tide would catch me first and give me a death I always longed for.” |
| [07:08.200] | Part IV: ”Dark Passion Play” |
| [08:09.710] | Second robber to the right of Christ |
| [08:13.500] | Cut in half - infanticide |
| [08:14.770] | The world will rejoice today |
| [08:19.700] | As the crows feast on the rotting poet |
| [08:36.679] | Everyone must bury their own |
| [08:39.880] | No pack to bury the heart of stone |
| [08:42.885] | Now he's home in hell, serves him well |
| [08:47.290] | Slain by the bell, tolling for his farewell |
| [08:50.189] | The morning dawned upon his altar |
| [08:52.759] | Remains of the dark passion play |
| [08:56.259] | Performed by his friends without shame |
| [09:00.199] | Spitting on his grave as they came |
| [09:03.980] | Get away, run away, fly away |
| [09:05.598] | Lead me astray to dreamer's hideaway |
| [09:08.758] | I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more |
| [09:12.790] | I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world |
| [09:15.788] | Forgive me |
| [09:18.488] | I have but two faces |

| [09:20.267] | One for God |
| [09:21.199] | Save me |
| [09:22.170] | I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more |
| [09:25.728] | I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world |
| [09:39.189] | "Today, in the year of our Lord 2005, |
| [09:43.189] | Tuomas was called from the cares of the world. |
| [09:44.589] | He stopped crying at the end of each beautiful day. |
| [09:46.488] | The music he wrote had too long been without silence. |
| [09:51.380] | He was found naked and dead, |
| [09:53.790] | With a smile in his face, a pen and 1000 pages of erased text.” |

| [10:08.800] | Part V: ”Mother & Father” |
| [11:00.189] | Be still, my son |
| [11:03.889] | You're home |
| [11:12.819] | Oh when did you become so cold? |
| [11:25.798] | The blade will keep on descending |
| [11:39.488] | All you need is to feel my love |
| [11:52.407] | Search for beauty, find your shore |
| [12:05.157] | Try to save them all, bleed no more |
| [12:18.438] | You have such oceans within |
| [12:33.188] | I will always love you |
