After signing with AFM Records in 2002, the band then released "Only Human" before touring Europe with Rhapsody and Angel Dust.
Singer Oliver Hartmann then left the band and a replacement was found in former Yngwie Malmsteen singer Mats Leven.
Lenk spent the next few months writing 2003's album “The Evil In You”. A tour with Kamelot followed. After that, "Chained" was released in 2005 and secured chart entries in Scandinavia. The band then toured with Brainstorm and Mercenary. Mats Leven is no longer a member of At Vance and was replaced by Rick Altzi for their newest album, VII.

Power
At Vance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For all the things to come
Now that I realise it's all been said and done
Worrying through my memories is all that I can bear
And I'm picturing those faces I won't tempt today
I shiver when I think
I'm feeling so alone
And all the fame is gone
Time can't mend
These broken memories
Power! Power!
Standing out to live and know your pain
Power! Power!
Waste the tears gone
So you hear is
Power of truth
It's a rollercoaster ride
Emotions upside down
Falling through the sense of time
This feeling comes around
Memories are haunting me
Pearcing through my soul
It worries me into the bones
The stories will be told
I can stay insane
If you won't stay alive
It's a piece of sadness shot
Straight into my heart
Some won't heal
These broken memories
The lyrics of At Vance's song "Power" appear to convey the idea of searching for something that has already come and gone. The first verse mentions a long search for things to come, only to realize that everything has already been said and done. The singer is left with only memories that they can bear, but these memories are haunted with regret for the things they did not do in the past.
The chorus calls out for power to live and know pain, to waste the tears and only hear the power of truth. It seems that the singer is looking for a way to move beyond their broken memories and find a new sense of power and purpose. The second verse describes this as a rollercoaster ride of emotions, with memories that pierce the soul and worry the singer to the bones. There is a sense of urgency to the lyrics, as the singer implores someone to stay alive while acknowledging that some memories will never heal.
Overall, the song "Power" seems to be about the struggle to move forward past regrets and find hope and strength in the present. It speaks to the universal human experience of grappling with our past decisions and searching for a sense of meaning in the face of the unknown.
Line by Line Meaning
I've been searching for so long
I have been seeking for a long time
For all the things to come
To experience all that is yet to happen
Now that I realise it's all been said and done
I have finally understood that everything has already been accomplished
Worrying through my memories is all that I can bear
The sole burden I can endure is ruminating through my past experiences
And I'm picturing those faces I won't tempt today
I am envisioning the countenances that I will not entice today
I shiver when I think
A shudder plays through my body when I ponder
I'm feeling so alone
I am experiencing extreme loneliness
Nothing left to say
I have no further remarks to make
And all the fame is gone
The celebrity I once had no longer exists
Time can't mend
The elapse of time cannot heal
These broken memories
The recollections that are damaged and fractured
Power! Power!
A vigorous and potent force
Standing out to live and know your pain
Distinguishing yourself to comprehend your suffering
Power! Power!
A vigorous and potent force
Waste the tears gone
Disappear the tears that have been shed
So you hear is
All you perceive is
Power of truth
The might of honesty
It's a rollercoaster ride
It is like being on a tumultuous journey
Emotions upside down
Feelings are agitated and inverted
Falling through the sense of time
Descending through the perception of time
This feeling comes around
This sensation materializes cyclically
Memories are haunting me
Reminiscences are tormenting me
Pearcing through my soul
Penetrating through the core of my being
It worries me into the bones
It fills me with anxiety and stress down to my bones
The stories will be told
The tales will be recounted
I can stay insane
I can remain disordered
If you won't stay alive
Unless you persist to exist
It's a piece of sadness shot
It is an instance of melancholy fired
Straight into my heart
Severely afflicting my heart
Some won't heal
Certain components will not recover
These broken memories
The recollections that are damaged and fractured
