Stratovarius was founded in 1984 in Finland under the name Black Water. They went through a number of personnel, style and name changes before the band found its own voice. The founding members were Tuomo Lassila, Staffan Stråhlman, and John Vihervä. By 1985, the name had changed to Stratovarius (a combination of Stratocaster and Stradivarius), and guitarist/vocalist Timo Tolkki entered the band, replacing Stråhlman.

Lyrics
Look around there´s no time to waste
Life goes on nothing´s gonna change
Feel the winds of life blowing cold
It won´t take so long you are growing old
There is no answer to be found
It is so easy to fall without a sound

Days of loving and gold
Kept me from feeling so old
Times I´ll always recall
When the night meets the day
Gates of heaven I saw
While flying through the misty dawn
Those days I´ll always recall
When the night meets the day

I don´t want to let you out of my sight
But here I´m lost and alone in the night
