Your Way 04:12
She walks her path without looking back She’s guided by the force of the elements She’s been through the flames of Hell She fought them back with the Love she gave She’s always pursued her mission out there She walks her path in warm and cold lands A part of her is Light, another Darkness She left all vampires behind That had sucked so much of her life She’s free now to give to those who give back CHORUS: Lalalalalalala lalalalala lalalala Lalalalalalala lalalalala lalala Your own way is The right way Lalalalalalala lalalalala lalalala Lalalalalalala lalalalala lalala Your own way is The right way She’s restless in her rebelliousness She has an endless thirst for the wildness She protects the ones she cares for She’ll fight if anyone attacks Love The child in her is safe: the woman is there CHORUS She loves her men with innocence at day At night she gets offers to play adult games But she gives her trust to the few men who Holding her tight will make her feel safe, The few of them she feels connected to… CHORUS She met a Christian man on her way He asked “Where are you heading to?” “I’m going to the island of Rock, I’ll take a train, and a boat too” “I suggest your life takes another way” She smiled and went anyway: When you know who you are Your way is the right way Your way is the right way

I'm standing in silence I'm watching the lake I wonder what's hiding under its surface Nothing is that peaceful We all have secrets Its skin is shuddering as the sun is getting near Is it from excitement? Is it from the challenge? CHORUS: I make you evaporate in tears You make my soul disappear Like Fire and Water we're safe when we're apart, but we're deadly together Deadly Together You joined me in silence I'm watching your face I wonder what's hiding under this surface No one is that peaceful We all have secrets… And I hear you say: "Once the lake gets under your skin you never want to leave again Once the lake gets under your skin you never want to leave again…" CHORUS: I make you evaporate in tears You make my soul disappear Like Fire and Water we're safe when we're apart, but we're deadly together I make you evaporate in tears You make my soul disappear Like Fire and Water we're safe when we're apart, but we're deadly together Deadly Together Deadly Together Like Fire and Water, we're safe when we're apart but we're.. Like Fire and Water, we're safe when we're apart but we're.. Nous sommes une combinaison des extrêmes Nous sommes Impossibles.

An Angel made Temptress An Angel made Temptress… Why did you? I trusted you Like a brother I shared my dreams With you My secrets I showed myself Naked to you I invited you to my world But you set fire to my wings I can't find again what I lost When I think of it I ache CHORUS: An Angel made Temptress I loved you like I loved no other An Angel made Temptress I couldn't give you more than I did An Angel made Temptress Was this innocence so bad after all? ..Now that we walk on ashes suspended in emptiness Walk on ashes suspended in emptiness Walk on ashes.. Adieu, mon ami I won't see you again The dearest page of my life You've turned I must leave now, try and forgive, complete this story on my own I must leave now, try and forgive, Complete this story on my own CHORUS: An Angel made Temptress I loved you like I loved no other An Angel made Temptress I couldn't give you more than I did An Angel made Temptress Was this innocence so bad after all? ..Now that we walk on ashes suspended in emptiness Walk on ashes suspended in emptiness Walk on ashes suspended in Emptiness

Frozen Path 04:26
Frozen sea Trees to infinity The sun is setting on a silhouette He's opening the road for me… In trust into the ruthless white Into the ruthless… white… CHORUS: On the frozen path I'm following this angel-man with a devil within On the frozen path I'm following this angel-man with a devil within… The moon's been full for two days Everything is possible today The moon's been full for two days Everything is possible today It's slippery "Don't be afraid, slide free" I'm telling myself I'm breathing out clouds My heart pumping the cold in then out warm into the ruthless white CHORUS: On the frozen path I'm following this angel-man with a devil within On the frozen path I'm following this angel-man with a devil within… The moon's been full for two days Everything is possible today The moon's been full for two days Everything is possible today… There's a forbidden sign that bars our way Look me in the eyes Silent questions, Faithful answers We're testing the ice under our feet It is strong enough Let's keep walking on Let's keep walking on… CHORUS: On the frozen path I'm following this angel-man with a devil within On the frozen path I'm following this angel-man with a devil within… The moon's been full for two days Everything is possible today The moon's been full for two days Everything is possible today… Everything is possible today

Polynia 05:31
I stay alive in the winter I remain warm in the cold I won't turn to ice when everything else has Light pierces through my surface It feeds life, life feeds me I'm continually animated among the dead The hunter travels to me through the white emptiness Searching for the answers to his loneliness. He finds: CHORUS: Love in the cold of the world Love in the cold of the world I won't give for long when one doesn't give back It must be an exchange to be complete The hunter's travelled to me through the white emptiness Searching for the answers to his loneliness. He found: CHORUS: Love in the cold of the world Love in the cold of the world Love in the cold of the world Love in the cold of the world Love in the cold of the world Love in the cold of the world Love in the cold of the world Love in the cold of the world

Cure 04:53
Darling, I would like you to push your worries away So that you'll be able to see other colours than grey Darling, I would like you to stop planning everything You can't change Life's patters anyway… CHORUS: Slow down Slow down When you slow down, you're receptive to the beauty around you Slow down baby, slow down When you slow down, you're receptive to the beauty around you How about we travel to the bottom of the ocean As humble visitors e would watch and learn its rhythm We'ld watch how air goes through the blue back towards the surface And when we're ready We just do the same... CHORUS: Slow down Slow down When you slow down, you're receptive to the beauty around you Slow down baby, slow down When you slow down, you're receptive to the beauty around you Breathe… Breathe… Breathe... Live live live live Breathe… Breathe… Breathe... Live live live live CHORUS: Slow down Slow down When you slow down, you're receptive to the beauty around you Slow down baby, slow down When you slow down, you're receptive to the beauty around you.. Hidasta tahtia Elä täysillä

Into The Sea 04:22
I climbed up a hill East of the city I looked at the sea for hours It mesmerises me with its motherly nature and untamable My heart doesn't warm up completely It keeps bringing me back home I see many birds fly suddenly They feel the winter comes Shall I leave as well? ..before the cold takes hold CHORUS: I got noone to fly with and I'm aching Tears run down my cheeks Fall into the Sea I got noone to fly with and I'm aching When I hear you say… A few words Trustful eyes Worried Yet not intruding So simple I feel better now, "thank you" So simple to share with you I feel the cuts in my skin are healing where the city hurt.. ..with its sharp angles before the cold took hold CHORUS: I got noone to fly with and I'm aching Tears run down my cheeks Fall into the Sea I got noone to fly with and I'm aching When I hear you say… "Hey, let's go for coffee I know there's a nice place there and it's warm" I got noone to fly with Tears run down my cheeks Fall into the Sea ..in the wooden house by the sea I found warmth with you I found warmth With you

Protect You 03:37
CHORUS: I'ld like to take care of you but you're so far from me now I gather as much love in me as I can I sink deep under the blankets I curl and I close my eyes I send you my love to protect you My love to Protect You Early morning at aurora I get signals from home I imagine my loved ones sipping wine in southern light Then the snowflakes knock against my window, they call me back I linger a bit longer then I get back to my life.. I am where I'm supposed to be now walking the line between warm and cold I am where I'm supposed to be now exploring, excited hurting a little CHORUS: I'ld like to take care of you but you're so far from me now I gather as much love in me as I can I sink deep under the blankets I curl and I close my eyes I send you my love to protect you my love to protect you my love I'ld like to take care of you but you're so far from me now I gather as much love in me as I can I sink deep under the blankets I curl and I close my eyes I send you my love to protect you my love to protect you my love to protect you My love to Protect You

about

Each album has its unique story.

This album is a phoenix rising from the flames.
The previous system of my life, living and working between France and Finland, recording in a home-studio in Montpellier with my bandmate Loïc Tézénas, was over. I was starting from scratch again

First i thought i would make one last stop in Helsinki, then cross the ocean and settle in NYC. But i never did.
Instead i hung out with musicians i knew and some new i met. In a park of Kallio, while he was watching his little girl and playing the acoustic guitar, i met Kiko Loureiro. Then he left to L.A, where he would play with Megadeth. I inherited his acoustic guitar and with it and my laptop, i began to create the songs that would make Face Your Demons.

Then one evening, after i had attended Tuska festival, i ran into my old friend Tero Kinnunen. He was there for a Nightwish gig. We re-connected. A couple of days later - because i am one person who believes in the signs that life sends me, it came to my mind that maybe, Tero would be the right person to co-produce this album with me. And we did.

We first recorded the two singles 'Into The Sea' and 'Frozen Path' entirely in Finnvox Studios, with a band and a strings quartet, as well as with special guest Lily Neill on the harp.

These songs can be found on the Digipack only, as bonus tracks.

I felt that the sound of these two tracks, however beautiful it was, was not the sound of the album.
The "clic" came to my mind after we had recorded three live videos in Artlab Studios, for the songs 'Angel Made Temptress', 'Deadly Together' and 'Your Way'. The combination of this live Rock/Metal sound together with the very clean strings and samples, was the sound of my album.

So, we came back to the same studio and recorded the rest of the songs, in the same live conditions. And this is also why there is a different line-up in those songs.
