There are random bits of text on the inlay. Here are all the ones I can read (with ellipses included), though a couple seem to be illegible. Also note, they don't appear to be in any specific order, so I just listed them here in the order I found them:
... believe ... / ... can you...? / Why not... / Jesus Christ /  ...you can always run... / ...maybe so... / ...why couldn't you try...? / ...free will... / ...no misery...? / ...can you hear...? / ...Why not listen...? / ...try... / ...cold winds... / ...where are you...? / ...do you see...? / ...the truth... / ...lies...

1) Introduco
3:49, instrumental

2) Lost
3:02, lyrics:
In the wastelands of sorrow, in the snowy woods
Where is only pain, there is my soul now.
Freezed to bones, without hope, the last memory of summer fading away.
Can't remember the light, can't remember the sun.
Lost in this abandoned place, so hard to
find the way back home...

So hard to find the way back home...

Is the wind my only friend, tears my only escort?
I can't see the moon no more, gone are the stars.

Dark is the empty sky over me, darker still is my soul
Last time I fall, can't get up anymore.
And yet, someone holds my hand.

Are you the One... the Father of All?
I pray you, give me some hope,
give me some memories of better times,
warm whispers of the past,
so I can go on...
And maybe, some day, I'll find the way back home...

I'll find the way back home...

3) Forsaken Heart
4:21, partial lyrics:
I'm waiting for "the one",
I'm waiting that she would
come into my life...
Why my heart can't hear You, God...?
Why I make mistakes...?

Why I have to suffer...?
Why life is so difficult...?
Why I have to suffer...?
Why life is so difficult...?

I'm again alone...
Alone in suffering...
My emotions are like
a rose, which has just died...
I have a forsaken heart
in my body...

Why I fell in love...?
Why couldn't You warned me...?
Why I fell in love...?
Why couldn't You warned me...?
[line that's not in the lyrics]


4) Presumption
3:58, lyrics:
I look at people's faces
Everybody's smiling... everyone's happy
People expect me to be happy all the time
If I'm not, they won't notice me

It's a presumption for everyone... not only for you
Nobody can be happy all the time...
Most have a role what they play...

Don't make a presumption of yourself
Why bother to think what they think?
Why bother at all?


Why bother to think what they think?
Why bother at all?


But don't think that nobody cares...
God cares, even if you're alone...
Just be yourself in front of the God...
Be blessed...

Just be yourself in front of God!
Be blessed!

5) Gaiety
5:10, lyrics:
Why couldn't we have fun?
Why shouldn't we enjoy living?
So what if there's a lot of misery...
Just enjoy living...

Have you ever thought how beautiful nature is?
Have you ever thought a poor beggar's life?
Have you realized just how lucky you are?

Why couldn't we have fun?
Why shouldn't we enjoy living?
So what if there's a lot of misery...
Just enjoy living...

Have you ever thought a poor beggar's life?
Have you realized just how lucky you are?

God has given His only son,
that you would realize His existence...

God has given His only son,
that you would realize His existence...
Have you already realized that?

Why couldn't we have fun?
Why shouldn't we enjoy living?
So what if there's a lot of misery...
Just enjoy living...

Have you ever thought how beautiful nature is?
Have you ever thought a poor beggar's life?
Have you realized just how lucky you are?

6) The Lord Is My Shepherd
5:10, lyrics:
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures. He restores my soul: He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Yeah, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever (and ever, and ever...)
Forever (and ever, and ever...)


7) Glance
4:49, lyrics:
The glance...
 I met a stranger
There was something strange in him.
That sparkle in his eyes...
Like the sunlight...

I talked to him, he seemed and felt normal,
but still I saw...
That sparkle was there all the time.
I asked him "Why are you sunny, even
dark clouds are all around us?"

And he answered, smiling all the time
"Why should I be afraid? I have Jesus by my side."
Those words awaked something inside me,
I wanted to know more about this Jesus guy.
And now, you know... they say there is this sparkle in my eyes...

8) Unbroken
3:26, lyrics:
I run with the elks
I fly with the birds
I am the wind that blows into your face
I am the northern light in the sky
Beauty is my bread
Honesty my wine
Hold still and let me touch your heart

My love unbroken
My caring neverending
I am the thing that you have always missed

Misty hanging over old fields
You can never understand
So much I have seen
Caring, loving all the time
Wishing that people would realize me... someday...

My love unbroken
My caring neverending
I am the thing that you have always missed

My love unbroken
My caring neverending
I am the thing that you have always missed

My love unbroken
My caring neverending
I am the thing that you have always missed

My love unbroken
My caring neverending
I am the thing that you have always missed

1) A better version of the logo. I tried playing with the Mikseri link, but there doesn't seem to be a way to make Mikseri images bigger. 2) Higher-res/quality versions of the artwork.
