1.The Mirror And The Ripper
Lyricist:Michael Poulsen
Found the morning liquor found the morning light
Looking into the rearview mirror
The motherfuckers are all awaiting him done the line
Sick and tired of fighting, all the crap inside
Starting a new day, breathing in the morning
Got a feeling leaving something behind
He sees the lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely days
Left his car out in the desert forever more
He's got another life now explore
And forever you will hear the people talk
How they can hear his boots out in the cold
And the fallen will get down on his knees
And the fallen will get down on his knees
And forever the man in the coat
Will cast his shadow among those who know the tale
Of the gangster who shot all his demons for good
Then along came the mirror and the ripper
What do you see in the night?
Passing shadows that can scar your soul
And make you feel demonized
Hear a match and see the lightning from the ripper
What do you have in your mind?
We believe that he comes for another wicked destiny night
Dazing in the dark the life line going cold in the fire
Have you asked yourself what it is that you see?
Well, is it Mr. Cadillac or you?
Walking among those who nearly found peace
In to the light, and out of the blue
And the fallen will get down on his knees
And the fallen will get down on his knees
And forever the man in the coat
Will cast his shadow among those who know
The tale of the gangster who shot all his demons for good
Then along came the mirror and the ripper
What do you see in the night?
Passing shadows that can scar your soul
And make you feel demonized
Hear a match and see the lightning from the ripper
What do you have in your mind?
We believe that he comes for another wicked destiny night
Dazing in the dark the life line going cold in the fire
Look into his eyes you'll meet a hundred angels cry
Face the mirror, you gonna seek another day
You gonna face the mirror, you gonna seek another day
You gonna face the mirror, you gonna seek another day
You gonna face the mirror, you gonna seek another day
You gonna ohh, going lonely home
2.Heaven Nor Hell
Lyricist:Michael Poulsen
Well, I've heard that the devil's walking around
I sold my soul way down in the dirt
But stole it back and forever in debt
And for a moment I don't even care
Until I feel his breath at my neck
And maybe even you can feel it too
He's on a strike and looking at you
Holding onto his words, but baby
I saw an angel become the devil
Still they look pretty good hand in hand
Well baby, I don't need any of them
Heaven nor hell
Well, I've heard that the morning star of a prince
Was invoked on a Monday on earth
I found his business card in the mud
And for a moment I don't even care
Until I feel his breath at my neck
And maybe even you can feel it too
He's on a strike and looking at you
Holding onto his words, but baby
I saw an angel become the devil
Still they look pretty good hand in hand
Well baby, I don't need any of them
Heaven nor hell
Evil came down on earth
And it beholds more than you love
More than you love
Heaven don't fall on earth
What you behold is no longer a word
No longer a word
Well, I've heard that the devil's walking around
I sold my soul way down in the dirt
But stole it back and forever in debt
And for a moment I don't even care
Until I feel his breath at my neck
And maybe even you can feel it too
He's on a strike and looking at you
Holding onto his words, but baby
I saw an angel become the devil
Still they look pretty good hand in hand
Well baby, I don't need any of them
Heaven nor hell
3.Who They Are
Lyricist:Michael Poulsen
Unleash the breath that damned wicked soul
Make the sacrifice for good
An omen passed the flame through the night
Benefit the figures face without thorns
Gaze upon thy gate
A spirit finds a light
Embrace it with its burning tears
Howling, crawling, falling, inside
Beyond an bound
The spirit rise and disappeared into the light
Covered by a shadow face
Vengeances for the traitors are thine
See a fallen angel
Raging fire glow
Take the tale let wisdom fill
The beginning of the end for us all
A higher form that makes us feel cold
They said dying alone is our fault
Forbidden and freeze the things that we need
They said judgment day upon
4.Fallen
Lyricist:Thomas Bredahl, Michael Poulsen
Feel the sadness burning in my heart
You left too early father love
So many things I should have said
But in your mind you knew it well
Holding on to what I got and love
But things still seems so dark and cold
The fire burning down my happiness
But I will rise
So proud and strong you truly were
I took it with me as a tool
A gift from father to his only son
Watching over me with eagle eyes
You gave me freedom to a love
Where dreams are born and truly became real
See me falling, yeah down and lonely
Are the angels on their way, I'm in the dirt
Hear me screaming, see me bleeding
'Cause the days are no more the same without you
Promise me my son you always will
Cherish what you love believing in
Never lose your values, stand up for the day
Oh, dear father, I thank you for the years
I'm writing this song on your desk
Together we can make it through the day
See me falling, yeah down and lonely
Are the angels on their way, I'm in the dirt
Hear me screaming, see me bleeding
'Cause the days are no more the same without you
See me falling, yeah down and lonely
Are the angels on their way, I'm in the dirt
Hear me screaming, see me bleeding
'Cause the days are no more the same without you
See me falling, yeah down and lonely
Are the angels on their way, I'm in the dirt
Hear me screaming, see me bleeding
'Cause the days are no more the same without you
5.A Better Believer
Lyricist:Michael Poulsen
Let her be, she belongs to me
And the moment comes
When I no longer know your name
A lonely maiden stands beyond infernal fire
A prince awaits his destiny for all time
Oh baby darling, you will see
Your blood belongs to him, a soulless feast
Reborn by the power of the darkness face
A rebirth of his lover to avenge his hate
Oh baby darling, you will see
Your blood belongs to him, a soulless feast
Heaven betrayed you
They said that her soul could not be saved
A better believer
The blood, his life, his sword sacrificed the cross
Returning with a hunger by the power of love
Oh baby darling, you will see
Your blood belongs to him, a soulless feast
Heaven betrayed you
They said that her soul could not be saved
A better believer
Let her be, she belongs to me
And the moment comes
When I no longer know your name
A lonely maiden stands beyond infernal fire
A prince awaits his destiny for all time
Oh baby darling, you will see
Your blood belongs to him, a soulless feast
Reborn by the power of the darkness face
A rebirth of his lover to avenge his hate
Oh baby darling, you will see
Your blood belongs to him, a soulless feast
Heaven betrayed you
They said that her soul could not be saved
A better believer
Let her be, she belongs to me
And the moment comes
When I no longer know your name
6.7 Shots
Lyricist:Michael Poulsen
Down on his knees he sees the devil
Weeping, whinging his tongue
Mr Cadillac doesn't even know
He's been fighting his own
He's been trying shooting
All the angels devils inside
Playing around with the good
And the evil in his mind
Alone in the desert and cold, so cold
Driving back to the ten house city something is wrong
He found the killer weapon in his car on the floor
Delusional the blood lost paint his mind in a cave
Feeding monsters in the back of his head
Killer, ripper, who are you?
Take a look into the mirror then you will know
Heaven fire up my blood
I'm waiting for something that's better
Welcome to a world of chaos
You've been caught in the light
Saw the door to the ten house tale
7 shots in the night
Standing in the dark and shaking my own hand for a while
Saw the angel devil vanished out in the light
Breathing new air for a day to begin
Soulless body with an empty shell
Killer, ripper, who are you?
Take a look into the mirror then you will know
Heaven fire up my blood
I'm waiting for something that's better
The price was high to pay
And the memories are all crying like a child
A reason for all the blood that leaked
And a call up for the wild
Follow me to relentless street
Where all pain and love will die
7 shots in the body fakes
Well, the loaded mind
Driving back to the ten house city something is wrong
He found the killer weapon in his car on the floor
Delusional the blood lost paint his mind in a cave
Feeding monsters in the back of his head
Killer, ripper, who are you?
Take a look into the mirror then you will know
Heaven fire up my blood
I'm waiting for something that's better
The price was high to pay
And the memories are all crying like a child
A reason for all the blood that leaked
And a call up for the wild
Follow me to relentless street
Where all pain and love will die
7 shots in the body fakes
Well, the loaded mind
Welcome to a world of chaos
You've been caught in the light
Saw the door to the ten house tale
7 shots in the night
7.A New Day
Lyricist:Thomas Bredahl
Felt when I walked, when I walked out the door
A new day will give the peace I need
Oh baby, I'm so sorry but I leak all the blood
From the past and now it turns into mud
I still feel the devil breathes in me
But this time I will break him piece by piece
Hold back your fears, you're more than home
Could it be that the tears no longer sad but true
Break the moment into something more than gold
And I realize it now, it was never meant to hold
Sweet as it was, not forever and never to close
I believe the pain was hunting me
For all the things that should not be
But I need a new love and for once I believe that it's her
I still feel the devil breathes in me
But this time I will break him piece by piece
Hold back your fears, you're more than home
Could it be that the angels of tomorrow know
Break the moment into something more than gold
And I realize it now, it was never meant to hold
You feel you die and then you get home
You pray just like I would slay
Time will heal all wounds
You feel you die and then you get home
You pray just like I would slay
Time will heal all wounds
You bleed, you see it ancient unfold
But still I can speak the angels
Down from heaven, now I slay
Felt when I walked, when I walked out the door
A new day will give the peace I need
Oh baby, I'm so sorry but I leak all the blood
From the past and now it turns into mud
I still feel the devil breathes in me
But this time I will break him piece by piece
Hold back your fears, you're more than home
Could it be that the tears no longer sad but true
Break the moment into something more than gold
And I realize it now, it was never meant to hold
8.16 Dollars
Lyricist:Michael Poulsen
16 dollars in a back street corner
Is enough for a beautiful day
I see a window open
Hearing Aerosmith rocking with
Dick Brave 'Walk This Way'
I need a quick drink
More volume for the beat
I see the cats are playing dice
It's seven in the morning
And you lost all your money
To a fat lady singing
Boogie woogie chili honey
I've been walking the streets again
But it's the same old thing I'll do it again
Just to see what the day will bring
But it's the same old song I'll do it again
I'll bring you home my baby, I will
I would love to bring you home
I would love to bring you home
I would love to bring you home
16 hours on my back in a corner
And an empty bottle of Jack and a bitch
Well, I'm sorry to inform you that
The poison in my body guiding you
To walk away from this mess
I need a quick drink
More volume for the beat
I see the cats are playing dice
It's seven in the morning
And you lost all your money
To a fat lady singing
Boogie woogie chili honey
I've been walking the streets again
But it's the same old thing I'll do it again
Just to see what the day will bring
But it's the same old song I'll do it again
I'll bring you home my baby, I will
I would love to bring you home
I would love to bring you home
I would love to bring you home
16 dollars in a back street corner
Is enough for a beautiful day
I see a window open
Hearing Aerosmith rocking with
Dick Brave 'Walk This Way'
I need a quick drink
More volume for the beat
I see the cats are playing dice
It's seven in the morning
And you lost all your money
To a fat lady singing
Boogie woogie chili honey
I've been walking the streets again
But it's the same old thing I'll do it again
Just to see what the day will bring
But it's the same old song I'll do it again
I'll bring you home my baby, I will
I would love to bring you home
I would love to bring you home
I would love to bring you home

10.Magic Zone
Lyricist:Michael Poulsen
Hide or alone you make it feel at home
Silence is not even there no more
You make it feel at ease something to embrace
A heart that's forever believing it
Life ain't that good that it's worth dying for
But baby, I'll always take a bullet for you
Hold on tight before tomorrow is gone
A wake up call greeting me with a smile
A new day is born and the old is behind
Million crazy butterflies getting drunk, we are one
I'm down on my tail but I'm up and I can feel it again
Angels wings unfold and the devil sitting moaning alone
I've been down but I'm back in a magic zone
Walking through life never thought that I could
Finding a soul mate and marry her too
We're distorted but we fit like a glove
Pleasure and pain will walk hand in hand
No place to run, take it all day by day
What it takes, what it makes, let it breathe, celebrate
I'm down on my tail but I'm up and I can feel it again
Angels wings unfold and the devil sitting moaning alone
I've been down but I'm back in a magic zone
I'm down on my tail but I'm up and I can feel it again
Angels wings unfold and the devil sitting moaning alone
I've been down but I'm back in a magic zone
Hide or alone you make it feel at home
Silence is not even there no more
You make it feel at ease something to embrace
A heart that's forever believing it
11.Evelyn
Lyricist:Jon Larsen, Michael Poulsen
Get off my shoulders, I told you to stay away
You're still a big part of me
Dance with delusional angels of sin
Kill false demons, you might kill false angels too
That's not what we wanna do
Together as one, we do as were told
Living together and fighting as one
Rejecting what's good with so called evil included
The dominant mind will prove you all blind
Finding the balance to leave you behind
I've learned so far controlling all the dark
Evelyn visions in the sky
All on my shoulder, all in my mind
I still hear you sing, my sweet love Evelyn
In fact I'm so cold, but I made up my mind
To see where it will lead
In fact I'm so lonely I
Stay away, you're still a big part of me
Dance with delusional angels of sin
Kill false demons, you might kill false angels too
That's not what we wanna do
Evelyn visions in the sky
All on my shoulder, all in my mind
I still hear you sing, my sweet love Evelyn
In fact I'm so cold, but I made up my mind
To see where it will lead
In fact I'm so lonely I
Don't listen to all this bullocks
There's nothing on either shoulder
Spreading the fire fever into something more that needs ya
Maybe you fall forever and maybe we die together
Angel Evelyn I die
I still hear you sing, my sweet love Evelyn
In fact I'm so cold, but I made up my mind
To see where it will lead
In fact I'm so lonely I
12.Being 1
Lyricist:Michael Poulsen
One word took the other, and suddenly
We're stronger than we ever could imagine
A bond that can cut through the fire of hell
Sharing one mind one heart forever
I've been holding you for a year or two
You're the reason why I'm holding up
And our love's gonna last forever
We'll be dancing the streets again in Memphis
I hate every sec, every minute you're gone
For so long we been talking and sharing the dirt
Been laughing at the fools who couldn't hear us
Getting stronger together and falling in love
And nothing in the world can separate us
I've been holding you for a year or two
You're the reason why I'm holding up
And our love's gonna last forever
We'll be dancing the streets again in Memphis
I hate every sec, every minute you're gone
I've been holding you for a year or two
You're the reason why I'm holding up
And our love's gonna last forever
We'll be dancing the streets again in Memphis
I hate every sec, every minute you're gone

We thank you people for being around
