I Desire drives the mind to work in sick ways The voice that whispers lies will leave you in despair Some things we cannot help So many spoken words but it's all fake Misled - deceived by the myths Yet, we still stand Despite madness and haze (Trust no one but yourself) II Counting the minutes (tick, tick) eyes fall down Waited nights to breakthrough Or beam into light Can't let go; gotta let go! Say the words never said before Be true to yourself Speak your mind Don’t let it burn Chorus Falling from grace; into the dark Shadow & Light can't fool the Night It's gonna getcha, getcha, getcha… (...it will pursue you) III Play the bad; play the good Maybe a little of both Chaos rules the soul When there’s no one to trust It’s a one man war (…Against this sick and twisted world) So better get ready for the clash Be strong; be fast Smooth like a cat Now, fire your guns before the trigger is pulled on you Chorus We are falling from grace and into the fire Saints & Sinners crumble down Before The Night Bridge The Night is a mystery What does it take to fight its misery? Wave goodbye to sunny days No use in pretending life's a fairytale Children of the Night, surrender to the Master It will reveal your deepest secrets Turning your smile into a river of tears When the mystery is unveiled

I Working hard to make ends meet He's never been so close to make it real Like a blink of an eye, change of fate, now he's facing death Pre-chorus Sometimes wishes might get twisted to become our greatest fear Do or die, lose or win; our fate is yet to be seen Chorus Are you living for the Moment or waiting to die? Gather all you can and build your empire Draw the line of change and make up your mind II People passed him by as he clenched to life He gave all he got but it wasn’t quite enough There ain’t no second chances – living’s just a crime Living for the Moment Pre-chorus Don't hesitate to take a risk, life's too short to regret our sins It's all or nothing, don't give in - fight for life; it’s all we got Chorus Are you living for the Moment or waiting to die? Chasing others plans will never be wise You gotta make a stand, and make up your mind

H.Y.E.T.A..? 04:20
I Staring at your picture Feeling how much I miss you Remembering tough times Those weren’t the best times But you were in those times I’ve been on my own Fighting these demons all alone But with the help of God I’ll survive at least one more night Pre-Chorus And I wonder… If you ever think about the times we spent together And I wonder… If you ever think about how I feel No, you don’t give a damn about how I feel Chorus Have you ever thought about... ...how bad I need you in my sleep? Every night you’re in my dreams I'm still longing for your touch Getting through the dark of night My soul calls for peace And my body is going numb Yeah…it feels so cold And while my mind wants to escape You still own my heart Got me bleeding for your love Craving for the cure Can't stand to watch the flame fade away II Time goes by There’s been a change of hearts This loneliness is killing me The sorrow is eating me Won’t you please?…rescue me Strange how... I could only see your beauty when you smiled I could only love you if I made you cry I could only miss you when you’re far away Pre-Chorus And it makes me wonder... How all our love got shifted into hate Makes me wonder… How all our dreams Vanished in the mist No you won’t find someone else Who loves you as much as I did Chorus Have you ever thought about... ...all the things we said and done? You and me against the world In the name of love How could we let it slip away? Together we belong Cuz' this love's so strong Don’t say: "let go" Do you ever think about us? Yeah! What about us? Baby loving you is my sin This train is ready to crash and burn Going off the rails It's gonna break our hearts…Yeah, yeah! Brigde Fake a smile…yeah! Trying so hard to hide All the pain on these chains Making us prisoners of yesterday Chorus Have you ever thought about… …the nights we rocked under the covers? Your kisses, my poison We were passion in motion Do you ever think about us? Yeah! What about us? Baby loving you is my sin This train is ready to crash and burn Going off the rails It's gonna break our hearts…

Haunted 04:14
I Bittersick No taste for life whatsoever Beaten down to the ground Someone’s got you right where they want you to be II A bit anxious Wondering what to make out of life? When you ask yourself: Why? The echo inside you, is not the answer You got no clue in this matter Pre-chorus Dazed and confused Is it possible that you became What you always said What you said you’d never be Feeling so lost Now you find yourself In a creepy place Wondering how you got there Not knowing how to get out A beam of light Will make you break free Chorus Haunted You've been running for so long Haunted Chases you down to steal your soul Haunted Sick and tired of this living nightmare III Still missing that piece Of the puzzle in your life Somehow you won the race To turn yourself into a living being Don’t kill the life inside you Make that light shine, bright oh bright Someday you’ll see A new chance is coming To let yourself live…(the life you were born to live) Pre-chorus Not once but twice You got burned by the very same fire You laid your cards on the table Nothing left to gamble for When you’re lost in the game The only thing that will give you the answer Is what makes you hungry Fuel your appetite for power Get your chops back in shape Time to face the beast Chorus Haunted You can run but you can't hide Haunted Don't sweat it; just be the ball Haunted Turn from prey to hunter HAUNTED SAINT LEGION Outro Don't let it get to you Don't let it get to you Don't let yourself get haunted... ///Haunted/// Close your eyes to dream, do not fear... Ohh wait! Can you feel a chill? Here comes that ghost again! Brigde ///Haunted/// Don't let yourself get haunted ///Haunted/// Got your back against the wall, you got nowhere to run ///Haunted/// Got your back against the wall, you got nowhere to run

Mouth Shut 04:20
I Born into the world; it ain’t here where He belongs He is a gift from heaven, from heaven to the earth So many people, through so many years Have walked around, all around these places But the world through all those years had never seen a man like him He brought us truth. He brought us hope He lived and died for you and I But in the streets the truth is gone All you hear is the echo of lies that people talk Living to die, slaves of guilt One thing they don’t know is that their bills have been paid Chorus So you better not …keep your mouth shut Roll out the good times if you live and breathe Mouth Shut Break the News. Shout it out to the world Don’t keep your mouth shut Love is the cure we all need II A loaded gun on Johnny’s head Boy, don’t pull the trigger He shot himself to death Tina is up on the roof, can’t take it no more She is gonna take her life. They want to end what they didn’t begin, Life don’t come easy, gotta keep up with the game Cannot erase the scars of your past No easy way out from sorrow and pain She said: “hey man, please break it down for me Is there a meaning to life? Or do we all die in vain?” Chorus Mouth Shut Come on make some noise! Spread the word Don’t keep your mouth shut Break the silence. Lips unsealed. Mouth Shut (Shout it out) Bridge I see us all, walking down, down the road. It’s a cruel, cruel road. Blind eyes, cannot see life as it is It ain’t no dead end street Empty hearts can’t find a reason to live Just roll the bones; cuz’ there’s no fate but what we make Outro Mouth Shut You better not keep; better not keep Don’t keep your mouth shut You better not keep; better not keep Mouth Shut You better not keep; you better not keep

Shine On Me 04:14
I I woke up this morning in your arms again There’s no greater feeling than to feel close to you And to know you’re gonna surprise me…with every little thing you do Pre-Chorus I know that you will Cuz’ I can’t hide; from your love From your love II Some of us feel like there’s no sunshine, only rain And some of us feel like there’s no blood, running through our veins The more we try it gets harder every day Take away the darkness when I’m walking to you Take away the blindness from my eyes Let me see you Chorus And let your light; shine on me Like you’ve never done before Let me see you; let me feel you Spread your love on me Like the sunlight in an early morning Let your light shine on me III Step by step, I’m sure; that you are guiding my way Trying to make things your way everyday I don’t care what anybody else says Set the path, be the light on my feet Pre-Chorus Just lead the way and I will follow Lead the way, you can be sure I will follow you I’ll fight to stay up I won’t let anyone bring me down Fear won’t freeze me Doubt can’t paralyze me Chorus When your light shines on me Like it’s never done before Let me see you; let me feel you Spread your love on me Like the sunlight in an early morning Let your light shine on me Bridge I Shines on me a love so true Let it shine on me Your love is all I ever knew Shines on me a love so true Let your light shine Let it shine Bridge II Don’t take another step, stop and listen well This is your last chance Don’t play deaf This is a song of truth Song of hope Song of love So sing along Only two roads in life You better take a stand Stop walking the wrong way And choose well Leave darkness behind And walk to the light
7.
I Remembering places Somewhere far from here Tried to make things right Now I realize nothing went quite right Chorus Looking for the causes that became consequences I never needed anybody Until the day that I lost…a piece of my mind II Now this piece of my mind Belongs to my past I can’t, can’t get it back Sometimes I wish I could go back in time Chorus Digging deep inside my brain To find the meaning for all this mess So why don’t you help me? I need to figure it out Piece of my mind Chorus Puzzling memories within my head To understand who I am Somebody please help me Before I go insane Piece of my mind
8.
I Walking through a Valley of Shadows All kinds of Creatures chasing me Temptation whispers my name Knocking at my door…I’ll never be the same But I won’t be the lost sheep of the flock No, I’m not a black sheep I know what’s right for me So I’ll stand for the things I believe in Chorus They want to see me fail They want to hear me beg And they want to see me dead But I have the victory in my hands By the power… the power of light II Shadows of darkness hunting my soul But their efforts are all in vain I’ll fear no evil; got no mercy for deceivers My enemies…I’ll fight them until the end Chorus They want to see me fail They want to hear me beg And they want to see me dead But I have the victory in my hands By the power…the power of light IV Victory is in my hands No one against me will prevail Deep down into the sea my sins are buried Forever free…now I can see Chorus They want to see me fail They want to hear me beg And hey want to see me dead But I have the victory in my hands By the power…the power of light

Perfect Love 04:13
I Yesterday, I thought I knew everything About the game of love I turn on the radio Another broken-heart song About love & hate; things they regret I think I’ve heard those lines before II Some people say love has its ways It’s easy come, easy go But I wonder how many of them Have known true love Like the one I know Pre-Chorus I’ve been hearing for so long From all those preachers and songs About the greatest love story ever told Chorus Perfect Love; never leaves me alone Perfect Love; I believe in you Perfect Love You know my heart is in your hands Perfect Love Post-Chorus Tears of blood falling down his cheek You are the truth that sets me free You are my rock Shelter me, with your perfect love III He lived a good; clean life Never committed crime; he did no wrong But still they treated him; like a sinner I’m back from death to life Because He took my place on the cross Bridge Now I’m heading home, trying to find Some rest and peace for my soul I’m running back home to you Chorus Perfect Love; the greatest sacrifice of all Perfect Love; I will only follow you Perfect Love; at the cross you proved your love Perfect Love Post-Chorus No one seems to find the way For all of us to get along Like smoke sometimes love fades away But not the love of the one who died on the cross Outro His love won’t fade away His love still remains

In The End 05:02
I Fading away Like fire goes from flames to ashes Reckless feelings playing games with my head Got no clue to crack this riddle Seems my only way out Is to be something that I'm not Pre-chorus I shout at the sky Still there’s no reply (Ain’t nothing to hold on to) The ones I used to lean on Have gone dead silent (Can anyone hear me scream?) Fiction meets reality Nothing makes sense Though anything is possible Chorus In the end Gotta lay it all on the line They say life is for the taking So take a shot before hope walks out the door In the end II Locking down my brain From these voices making me mad A nightmare’s just begun Ghosts messing with my senses Crawling out of the illusion Feels like someone else’s memories Have been engraved in my brain Chorus In the end Luck is whatever we want to make it Follow your gut like a spark in the dark In the end No gold to be found at the lucky rainbow So find your way through the night Burn your bridges to the point of no return In the end Bridge I made up my mind This time feels right (I’ve found something to hold on to) No, I’m not turning back (Got nothing left to prove) Wasted time waiting for signs that never come I’m moving on… Outro Nowhere to go But it’ll be all right I’ll find my way No place to call home But it’s ok In the end Got no plan in hand But to have it my way Seize the day Nobody’s here To save me tonight In the end

about

Something new is emerging like a Phoenix in the fire.
With a talent and sound that has captured and exalted rock to new heights; with a sound that seems familiar yet incredible unique and original. Two men stand alone in continuing to push the bounds, yet carry on the traditions that came before them. This is music from the soul, from the place deep within us that awakens us on every level, this is pure Rock N’ Roll...this is SAINT LEGION.

From the moment you hit PLAY, you get a true sense of what the music conveying and who Richie and Rööster really are. The power of music does not take long to strike you and you become immediately “as one” with the music. They inherited music from their older brother, who introduced them to the greats of Rock N’ Roll; in hindsight this proved to be pivotal moment in their life. This was a musical awakening for them, and ended up being an influence that would affect them forever.

Since first playing together in 2008, their relationship grew and evolved into what you hear today. In 2010, SAINT LEGION found early success thru a demo song, however this success also came with a dose of change, rendering SAINT LEGION as a duo. They also found the magic and passion in there music with this change; a change that became the catalyst for what would come to be. Never ones to be swayed or defeated, they kept making music.

A little time has passed and in 2011 SAINT LEGION grew, entertaining fans with a great live show and great music. People kept taking notice, kept connecting with the music and kept dialing in. It would prove to be a great addition to the lineup and that would bring upon their first LP studio effort, countless shows and fans all over.

Through what could be labeled as a heavy labor (debut) album production, the band took the chance to experiment new musical grounds, implementing strings and brass arrangements on a couple of songs which makes the material so much richer and exciting to listen to.
