As I turn of the TV-set and look into your eyes
What do I do? - Rage!
What do I feel? - Rage!
Brought into this world without a clue
I won't go where you've gone
‘cause it showed that it does not work.
If you stay where you are then you will bite the dust.
And I know what I know
I believe what my eyes can tell -
you're no longer so sure
that you've done it right.
Why did you what you've done?
All that's left is you've lost our trust.
All the people believe not a word that you say.
And you think you're so clever
that it makes you a better man
but for real you just live on the cost of us all.
Bastard, you bastard, stay where you are!
I don't believe you a word.
Lies are a weapon that kills from inside.
If there's no change you'll bury all life.
You steal from us all what we need to survive
looks like soon you will bury all life.
Open your eyes and see there's no way you can turn it back
when you sell what's not yours when you rape mother earth.
Now start making an end
a beginning to stop that waste.
Do you really believe
you could own all this land?
Bastard, you bastard, get outta my way!
I don't believe you a word.
Lies are a weapon that kills from inside.
If there's no change you'll bury all life
You steal from the world what it needs to survive
Looks like soon you will bury all life.
Looks like soon you will bury all life.
[Music: Victor Smolski]
[Lyrics: Peavy Wagner]
You turned away from me to be with someone else
You turned away but from inside you are here
Still you didn't give me what I need the most
I am half, it feels not right and I fear
Coming back, you started building up myself
Face to face, man and machine come alive
But mortality will be the price to pay
It's a circle with an end to arrive
Can't you see that I'm dead from inside
Won't you help me be alive
You, give me flesh and blood
I wanna know the feeling in my veins
You, give me flesh and blood
I wanna know the feel of flesh and blood
Can't you see I'm burning from inside
I just need to be alive
You, give me flesh and blood
I wanna know the feeling in my veins
You, give me flesh and blood
I wanna know the feel of flesh and blood
You turned away from me to be with someone else
You turned away but from inside you are here
Now you gave me what I need to be alive
On my mission in the night you are here
You are here
[Music & Lyrics: Peavy Wagner]
The dust that settled in the eyes
Has covered a thousand lies
Like maggots ate the brain
And time is moving rapidly
For those who are to see
A paradigma changed
And the rain's falling like tears you've shed
(keep on falling)
While the spiders crawl out of your bed
(I see them crawling)
And the raven sings songs for the dead
(sing your songs for the dead)
Wake the nightmares in my head
Like me there were more that have tried
To set a few things right
To take the dreamers hand
Their world is falling from the stars
They start a thousand wars
It's coming to an end
And the rain's falling like tears you've shed
(keep on falling)
While the spiders crawl out of your bed
(I see them crawling)
And the raven sings songs for the dead
(sing your songs for the dead)
Wake the nightmares in my head
Never swallow what you've heared before
Don't believe in what you see
It won't stay like it appears no more
If you don't awake in time
You never will again
And the rain's falling like tears you've shed
(keep on falling)
While the spiders crawl out of your bed
(I see them crawling)
And the raven sings songs for the dead
(sing your songs for the dead)
Wake the nightmares in my head
[Music & Lyrics: Peavy Wagner]
What we feel, it might be so unreal
And what we know, it's under construction
We have learned, the truth, it can be turned
Well, it just depends on what we believe is real
In secrecy our mission will be
Let's create our future aware
I'll see you in heaven one day
Or I'll see you in hell
Yeah, we'll be where we think we will stay
I'll see you in heaven or hell
You and me, we think of what will be
It's so hard to trust in that we'll be given
Fear, so strong, will surely lead us wrong
It's gonna bring us down, we better believe it's real
In secrecy our mission will be
Let's create our future aware
I'll see you in heaven one day
Or I'll see you in hell
Yeah, we'll be where we think we will stay
I'll see you in heaven or hell
No limit, I'm in it, it's all inside my mind
I'll be there where I dare, it's all my choice
In secrecy our mission will be
Let's create our future aware
I'll see you in heaven one day
Or I'll see you in hell
Yeah, we'll be where we think we will stay
I'll see you in heaven or hell
[Music & Lyrics: Peavy Wagner]
Defenders of the ancient life we are
Defenders of the ancient world at war
And if we're gonna die, keep that spark
Defenders of the ancient life we are, yes we are
Hunters came the night before
They brought to our homes their war, bloody war
All the others, just like me
Have to face the enemy, it's gotta be
They have all been innocent of starting all this waste
But the demons ran a deadly race
We were made to force them down and end their killing aims
To save the creator's precious lifes
Defenders of the ancient life we are
Defenders of the ancient world at war
And if we're gonna die, keep that spark
Defenders of the ancient life we are, yes we are
Noone ever gave us names
We were forged in fire and flames, red hot flames
Crafted to protect the ones
Chasing every unknown sound that's around
We were made to force them down and end their deadly games
To save the creator?s precious lifes
They have all been innocent of starting all this waste
But the demons had their killing aims...
Defenders of the ancient life we are
Defenders of the ancient world at war
And if we're gonna die, keep that spark
Defenders of the ancient life we are, yes we are
This is mine, here's where my home is
I don't want to let you break into my world
All my life I've been looking for something
that's my own, I'm so glad I found it now
Don't you step on this ground
I don't want to lose an inch of my freedom
I'll lose my soul if you steal my refuge
Leave my cloud and stay away
this is my refuge
play your dirty tricks, my friend
but leave my refuge
I grow stronger and you feel smaller
guess that's your reason for taking up my time
with every secret that you make public
your influence on my life grows, ain't this true?
Don't step on this ground
I don't want to lose an inch of my freedom
I'll lose my soul if you steal my refuge
Leave my cloud and stay away
this is my refuge
play your dirty tricks, my friend
but leave my refuge
I'm on the run, but I don't know
What is the scare, so there's no way to go
What do I fear to cross my way
It's gonna come like a kick in the a...
Father you've warned me, so I should have known
Something's not right
Set the alarm now, before it's too late
Make it allright
All I want is my own integrity
All I want is a chance of being free
It could be heaven on earth if we are one
All I want is to end what I've begun
That's all I want
It's getting hard to understand
What is the right thing and what's a dead end
Don't wanna live like in disgrace
´Cause in the end it's a kick in the face
You tread on me and you give me the blame
This is not right
Don't mean to harm you, so treat me the same
Then it's allright
All I want is my own integrity
All I want is a chance of being free
It could be heaven on earth if we are one
All I want is to end what I've begun
[Music & Lyrics: Peavy Wagner]
Once, eons back in time from here
Long before man was born
They came from somewhere out of space
Shaped the young planet's face
And more, they made all to be, everything we see is their work
So good, the system and it?s frame played a perfect game
Until the other came...
It was all for the great old ones
Those who created life
And life carried on and on and on
They gave all for the great old ones
Under the new born sun
Where life carried on and on and on...
So everything was good to be
When some would fall from grace
Birth of the evil energy
Fear reaches back in those days
And hell wasted all to be, all the bad we see is it's work
To save the system and it's frame, the Soundchaser came
Some call them Perfect man...
It was all for the great old ones
Those who created life
And life carried on and on and on
They gave all for the great old ones
Under the new born sun
Where life carried on and on and on...
Life carried on for the great old ones
In the planets history there are secrets, you will see
Our nature has a source. Good or evil comes from those...
And all, all their secret deeds never could complete what they need
Cause hell wasted all to be, all the bad we see; 'till the Soundchaser came...
It was all for the great old ones
Those who created life
And life carried on and on and on
They gave all for the great old ones
Under the new born sun
Where life carried on and on and on...
Life carried on for the great old ones
Why is it that some people always get what they want
How come they always know the time to choose
And can you make a difference in how your life evolves
If you knew what it is then
You'd never be the one to lose
The intuition to be sure
If something's wasted time or purely what you need
To succeed
You want to understand it, the universal law
So you can send a message to the stars
Just like a silent prayer, an energy exchange
There is an answer for you
It's out there waiting in your heart
If you are open you will hear
You have to be brave, so don't fear and you'll be there
Just beware...
You want it, you'll get it
Try to live so that you won't regret it
You want it, you'll get it
If you only try to live and let it
Find it's way to you
There's a new kind of love, you're longing for
And I will be there, waiting at your door
This is all where you want to be, want to be
At the end of eternity
Now the time comes when all connects to one
And a bridge will be built from dark to sun
At the dawn of the century, come with me
It's the end of eternity
And there is so much more to give
And there is so much more to live
Come to me, come to me, set it free
The end of eternity
The end of eternity has begun, has begun
There's a new kind of life on second floor
And you will be there, knocking at my door
This is all where I want to be, want to be
At the end of eternity
And there is so much more to give
And there is so much more to live
Come to me, come to me, set it free
The end of eternity
The end of eternity has begun, has begun
All is grey, grey today,
Today I don't want to stay.
What I say, what you say
Is not getting through to me.
It vanished in haze,
I'm falling from the grace,
This is another of those days.
All vanished in haze, vanished in haze.
Bitter face, empty eyes.
There has been so many smiles.
But my lips - paralysed,
Poisoned heart and poisoned mind.
It vanished in haze...
Give me time, let me go,
There's so much I couldn't show.
Leave my will to the flow,
More to be as I will grow.
It vanished in haze...
It's allright, it is good,
There's a lot I've understood.
We will get what we need,
[Music: Victor Smolski]
[Lyrics: Peavy Wagner]
Hijackers, kidnapers, have a look around
Assassins with blessings from their gods
No mercy, they try to set this world on fire
They think that they have a right to kill
Take good care to be out of here
From the nuclear fire
Separation and growing fear
We forgot we're one, never spoke in one voice
Now we're here
It's the war of worlds
And we're all concerned, right now
Everyone has to learn
It's the war of worlds
And our future burns right now
(It's the war of worlds)
This is the war of the worlds right now
They swallow and follow just the path of greed
Blood dripping, heart ripping, take it all
Confusion, conclusions not in sight, so scary
Not willing to share what all is there
Take good care to be out of here
From the nuclear fire
Separation and growing fear
We forgot we're one, never spoke in one voice
Now we're here
It's the war of worlds
And we're all concerned, right now
Everyone has to learn
It's the war of worlds
And our future burns right now
(It's the war of worlds)
Burn in hell

Sleep lay behind me like a broken ocean
Strange waking dreams before my eyes unfold
You lay there sleeping like an open doorway
I stepped outside myself and felt so cold
Take a look at my new toy
It'll blow your head in two, oh boy
Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone
Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone
Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone
I thought about it and my dream was broken
I clutch at images like dying breath
And I don't want to make a fuss about it
The only certain thing in life is death
Take a look at my new toy
It'll blow your head in two, oh boy
Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone
Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone
Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone
Where you want to be, won't you ever see?
Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone
Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone
Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone
Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone
Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone
Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone
Ah....now!

A modern-day warrior
Mean mean stride,
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean mean pride.
Though his mind is not for rent,
Don't put him down as arrogant.
His reserve, a quiet defense,
Riding out the day's events.
The river
And what you say about his company
Is what you say about society.
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the drift.
The world is, the world is,
Love and life are deep,
Maybe as his eyes are wide.
Today's Tom Sawyer,
He gets high on you,
And the space he invades
He gets by on you.
No, his mind is not for rent
To any god or government.
Always hopeful, yet discontent,
He knows changes aren't permanent,
But change is.
And what you say about his company
Is what you say about society.
Catch the witness, catch the wit,
Catch the spirit, catch the spit.
The world is, the world is,
Love and life are deep,
Maybe as his skies are wide.
Exit the warrior,
Today's Tom Sawyer,
He gets high on you,
And the energy you trade,
He gets right on to the friction of the day.
He is alone though he's one of the crowd
Days made of dust and nights filled with doubts
Somewhere's a light he can't see and he knows
Not forever, no eternity
Not forever, one day he'll be free
He's got the time to think and he found
It's all the same with the people around
They need someone to bear all their sins
Not forever, no eternity
Not forever, and the world will see
Locked in a cell, that is his life
Only one thing in mind
Making a change
Not willing to wait ‘til it's time to die
One thing before his eyes
Making a change
What will the world look like without him?
Who'll do the dirty jobs if not him?
What are the leaders without someone to lead?
Not forever, no eternity
Not forever, one day he'll be free
[Rage]
SPIRITS COMING FROM THE MIND
WAKING UP MY DEEPEST HORRORS
CAPTURE MY THOUGHTS, MAKE ME BLIND
WEIRD, 'CAUSE I DON'T WANT TO SEE
THE ABYSS OF MY POSSIBILITIES
SCARED I CAN'T LOOK AWAY
IT HAS COME TO MY SIDE
SISTER DEMON - MY BRIDE
I WANT YOU, I NEED YOU
AND I HAVE SET YOU FREE
YOU'RE ALWAYS RIGHT BEHIND ME
I KNOW THE DEVIL'S SENT YOU TO ME
YOU WANT ME, YOU NEED ME
NOW THAT I'VE SET YOU FREE
LOOK ALWAYS RIGHT BEHIND YOU
YOU KNOW THE DEVIL'S SENT ME TO YOU
WHAT HAS STARTED AS A LONGING
ALMOST IS POSESSION NOW
IT DRIVES ME AGAIN AND AGAIN
PUR A LIGHT INTO YOUR WINDOW
MAYBE I CAN FIND A HOLD
I RUN AGAINST MYSELF 'TILL I FIND THE END
SENT BY THE DEVIL
[Music: Victor Smolski]
[Lyrics: Peavy Wagner]
"I have heared your voice
Now I have no choice
You must face your fatal end"
What is this? I can't believe my eyes
Is it trying to hunt, it's bringing me down, bringing me down
Why did I come to this hellish vault
I have heared, they warned
It's chasing, raging, killing you
Time stands still
And myself will
Disappear tonight from this world
Soundchaser
Now the beast has come
It's coming out to eat me alive
The Soundchaser
Is soundchasing, raging, killing you
"Eons back in time
This world has been mine
Deadly plage from heaven sent"
Hush, my dear, the silence saved my life
It won't find us if we hide on the ground, without a sound
Hell freeze over! Please, please save my life
Instinctive breed, it is chasing, raging, killing you
Time stands still
And myself will
Disappear tonight from this world
Soundchaser
Now the beast has come
It's coming out to eat me alive
The Soundchaser
Is soundchasing, raging, killing you
Soundchaser, Soundchaser, now the beast has come alive...
Since a while I thought 'bout leaving here
I can see no way to get it clear
Under you I feel misunderstood
In this respectable neighbourhood
Hey, don't look for me no more
'Cause I won't be coming home
Well, I'm a solitary man
I'm gonna leave you now alone
I'm just a solitary man
I feel so strange here, do you know?
I have heard they're tellin' tales 'bout me
Find me weird and most unusually
Can't you see that I'm just doing my way?
Live it out what you all just pretend
I don't need no company
If I did I'd look for better
Well, I'm a solitary man
I'm gonna leave you now alone
I'm just a solitary man
I feel so strange here, do you know?
Well, I'm a solitary man
I'm gonna leave you now alone.
How many men have been killed ‘cause of religion?
For example Iran and Irak, this war is going on
For more than a decade.
It is more than ridiculous how these brothers
Kill themselves for the geed of might
That their leaders covered real clever
With the name of a god
Religious This is sinister thinking
Fanatics Ruled by sinister thinking
They drill this evil spirit in their children's heads
So there's no ending in sight, no
Religious This is sinister thinking
Fanatics Ruled by sinister thinking
Madmen, madmen
Killing their lands
In east and west There is sinister thinking
Religious This is sinister thinking
They run the endless debate
Who's right and who is wrong
In their eyes we've all failed in life
Old men in silk and diamonds
Decide who's right to kill
A soldier with god; not so his wife
It's just another way to multiply their power
They need a reason to survive
Seven deadly sins
Just give them fear of hell, obey the ivory tower
If they all want to stay alive
Seven deadly sins - seven deadly sins
Who are they to speak justice
About another man
They've tortured and killed through history
How can you dogmatise it
You cannot shape the truth
There's no way to order belief
It's just another game to multiply their power
They need a reason to survive
Seven deadly sins
If we all fear their hell, obey their ivory tower
They have a chance to stay alive
C'mon now, c'mon now
Let's get closer, I'll show you how
Let's get into my car
Noone can see us and we got it warm
Get it out, get it out
No need to worry, everything's allowed
Ain't this good, yes, it's good
I know there's power in your underwood
Wohow, nobody knows
Get on up, get on down
Let's change it over, babe, c'mon sit down
Uh, I like it this way
One foot in the steering wheel that's OK
Wohow, nobody knows
[Instrumental]

Leave here; turn back;
More beer; one track;
Hot sun -caribbean; blue sea - palm tree beach;
Hotel - behind the dunes; leisure time - animator;
Round trip, hip-grip, bullshit, fit - hit
Groovin' away in the heat of the car
Round trip, hip-grip, tourist's madness
Sweating away in a first class hovel
Guest loo; french food;
Sightseeing - tourist guide; bus tour - standard price
Round trip, hip-grip, bullshit, fit - hit
Groovin' away in the heat of the car
Round trip, hip-grip, tourist's madness
Sweating away in a first class hovel
Good skiing! Mountaineer;
Alpine - snow bunny; divine - modest dirndl;
Round trip, hip-grip, bullshit, fit - hit
Groovin' away in the heat of the car
Round trip, hip-grip, tourist's madness
Sweating away in a first class hovel
Round trip, hip-grip, bullshit, fit-hit,
Now I know it's time again to change my life
Yes it's time for me to leave it all behind
Say goodbye to all I'd have if I'd stay here
No, I don't need it anymore
The wind is whispering in the trees, they call my name
The birds that leave me down here, they all do the same
Don't you think that I don't care
There'll be a time
When I am old enough to stay
There's this longing in my heart that must be fed
It gets its thrills outside the walls
There are still so many pictures in my head
I must follow to this call
As I leave it all behind - saddle the wind
Satisfy my longing mind - saddle the wind
As I leave it all behind - saddle the wind
Say goodbye from time to time - saddle the wind
As I see the naked earth, wide open fields
There's a vision to become a part of it
In its sparkling waves the river invites me
To join it on the journey to the sea
And always when I feel I've got a home
Then I need to get away
As I leave it all behind - saddle the wind
Satisfy my longing mind - saddle the wind
As I leave it all behind - saddle the wind
Say goodbye from time to time - saddle the wind
There's this longing in my heart...

[Lyrics: Peavy Wagner]
Get deeper underground
The lost is found
Remains are all around, take care
To catch a breath of age
Not from this world
A dinosaur of rage's construction
Take a chance, only you can
Take a chance, make it alive
You're holding in your hands
A construction plan
So do now what you can, take care
To give a breath of life
A human touch
A prehistoric clone, Frankenstein
Take a chance, only you can
Take a chance, make it alive
Secrets in a weird world
Under the arctic shelf
Life, lost in the ice
Back in the new world
Secrets in a weird world
Timeless and undistorted
Life, lost in the ice
Back in the new world
The title track of my first album that I recorded
with Avenger in '84. I've changed some words
for this version. You find all former members
playing here. The drum take is done by Jorg, the
lead breaks by Alf, Jochen, Manni, Guinness and
Rudy.
Lay me on an anvil, oh lord
and forge me in a crowbar
let me pry young virgin souls
give ‘em strength somehow
Lay me on an anvil, oh lord
and forge me in a spike
drive me in the wasted hearts
to straighten out their lifes
Let me be your weapon, oh lord
fight for truth real hard
let me roar with all your force
fight for you and guard
Let me be your clearest spirit
hold your temple high
from the darkest souls, so deep
to the blackest night
All your wisdom give me, oh lord
teach me prayers of steel
Give me strength and give me power
[The Troggs Cover]
I can't stand still cause you got me goin'
Your pants are low and your hips are showin'
I watch you yea while you're standin' there
Your skin tight jeans and your sexy hair
Don't want you goin' round with no one else
Cause when I'm with you I can't control myself, yeah
Defenses down and you got me shakin'
You got me so that my nerves are achin'
If you knew me and your were in my world
Your knees would bend an' your hair would curl
You make me move yea like no one else
When I'm with you I can't control myself
I've got this feeling deep inside of me
It makes me be what I'm supposed to be
It makes me feel alright
When I'm with you at night an' we love
An' we love
Ya hold me so with this big temptation
This kind of feelin' could move the nation
An' I'm okay when I'm here with you
I do the things that ya want me to
I don't do these things for no one else
When I'm with you I can't control myself
I can't control myself
I can't control myself
In search for personality
We people always think the clothing makes a man
In fact there's such ha difference in all
What we think and how we understand
My left is your right
Your day is my night
Their darkness is our light
Reflections of a shadow
Reflections of my mind
We're looking for externals
And the eye gets blind in insincerity
But when I hear you talking
Then your soul lies free for everyone to see
And what I do
Becomes my proof
Our acts draw our portraits
And in the night
We make it right
In dreams we find our light
Reflections of a shadow
Reflections of my mind
Reflections of a shadow
Hellchild, you got
No fun, you're wild
That's you: dependent,
Obey, you do
No way to go
So come on
Oh yeah, you need a
Brainstorm today
Shout out your pain
be strong, be loud
No way to go
Chorus:
Bang - it's raw energy
Bang - it's raw energy
Don't fear your dreams
Work'em out, they'll come clear
Never surrender
Next time do better
Feel the comin' of the chord
Oh, it says a lot more than a thousand words

They came along last night
I knew again there was no end in sight
We all had too much
We needed a break to let it out our guts
So we turned it on to its highest point
Shot far over the line when it's fun
We dropped out on the edge
Stumbling on the edge
Set the mind afire
Let the engine run overpowered
'N' break the bonds of sleep
Feed the overdose with all to keep
And we turned it on to its highest point
Shot far over the line when it's fun
We dropped out on the edge
Stumbling on the edge
On the edge when there's no point to go further
There's no way to turn the steerwheel 'round
What else left then to take it as a man
Accept the final rest for now
And wait for the return
Music by P. Wagner, S. Efthimiadis / Lyrics by P. Wagner
Plans I have made to build it up from this state.
Always moving, never stop, though the answers are made
‘bout the future, ‘bout the past,
where I come from, what will last.
Try to delay things that lead you astray.
But society sucks you out, leads to early decay.
If I will, if I won't, a decision that I could not flee.
I prayed it leave me be - the icecold hand of destiny.
Everything's right, it seems the future looks bright.
But there's always factor X that leads the tumbling dice.
If I will...
Play for future, play for past,
He's a neurotic!
"I cannot stand it anymore!
You slut! You goddamn filthy whore!"
(This is not a gentleman's style)
He's screaming with a deep-red face
(Oh, you seem a bit angry, don't ya)
This is a choleric attack, he's got it sometimes
(mmmh, my god!)
He's a neurotic, gonna break his neck
I don't wanna get like this
Don't worry ‘bout this guy
It's up to you to show him better ways
Don't get to angry if he failed again
His moods hard to control
And when he steps out of the door
The kids, they laugh at him once more
(Motherfucker, motherfucker, bababa!)
If he didn't cry or wish he was dead
(Nobody loves me!)
He would scream out in boiling RAGE
(Fuck you assholes!)
He's a neurotic, gonna break his neck
I don't wanna get like this
Don't worry ‘bout this guy
It's up to you to show him better was
Don't get too angry if he failed again
His moods hard to control
He's a neurotic, gonna break his neck
I sat here thinking, let my mind drift away
And what I saw was a vision of you.
Just like a movie that I saw yesterday
And now I know what I'm going to do.
I watched the hourglass on my empty wall,
Like hypnotized of the circles I'd seen.
The timeless ticking of the fingers who called
Myself to be where I wanted to be.
More than a lifetime away
More than a lifetime away
One million hours to stay
More than a lifetime away
I fly by night, I'm passing point after point.
So many places to stay invite me.
But they won't heal me, they won't rest me, I know.
I'm moving on 'till I'm going to be

[Music & Lyrics: Peavy Wagner]
Once again I fell sleep
Drowned in a deadlike state, far too deep
There she came, in my dreams
Showed me places I never had seen
But I don't remember anything
It's just that I've seen everything
And I want to have it one more time, what can I do
Hear me now! S.O.S., I'm calling you
Take me out to a mystery trip
Hear me now! S.O.S., I'm calling you
Once again on a mystery trip
Felt so low, felt so down
Searched for eyes I never had found
Still I need more of this
Though she wasn't alive when we kissed
And I want to meet her once again
To get another chance and then
I will hopefully remember when I'm leaving here...
[Bonus track]
Hey you, take a look at me now
Have you ever seen the face of death
Have you noticed me somehow
Not more than rotton flesh and bones...
But there's more than molecules
That make you different from a stone
Mirror, mirror, mirror
Friendly smiles decay
Mirror, mirror, mirror
It's your final day
Hey you, your spirit is more
It turns you into a scientist, an inventor to explore
But look into the mirror of life
You made so many mistakes
Now you get back what you gave
Mirror, mirror, mirror
Friendly smiles decay
Mirror, mirror, mirror
It's your final day
Your face is cold tonight
Your glance is far out of sign
You lay your body for the final rest
Do you think it was good what you've done in the past
You've had your years on earth
Now go back to what you've been...
[Instrumental]
All I want is you but so far I never knew you,
Our limitless selves, all that can remain is there.
Now give us the time to share it
'Till the sleep comes again.
Love after death, the other half, in a unit we're best.
Love after death, this is forever, I have no regrets.
Lost, out of my sight,
Alone wandering through the night.
Time tore us apart,
So different to learn by heart.
Now give us a chance to share it
As life comes again.
Love after death, the other half, in a unit we're best.
Love after death, this is forever, I have no regrets.
Love after love after love after death.
Love, all I want is you,
I am just like you, never we can die.
Love, circle in a whole,
The twin of my soul, 'till the end of time.

Watch out, they're on the loose
They creep into your privacy, lurk in all corners for you
Justice - that's what they scream
But can they find verdicts on me while they're corrupt like...
Shit, I don't know who or what
They say that they're friends and they fight for your rights
They say that they're helpers
But they only teach you to stand real tight
Out there in the streets: Law and order
In out battlefields: Law and order
No way, you can't escape
You can't make mistakes or have fun or just do what you feel
They'll keep you locked in, you might be a troublemaker
Keep him safe
You bastard, you'd better be dead or something like this...
Now he's safe

Innocent guilty, she did not reply when he called
He didn't know she was innocent guilty
But it'd come to that
Twenty times that day
He tried to call her on the phone
But he did not succeed
And noone answered the door but then he heard her dog
So she must have been at home and he called her name
But it was in vain
Innocent guilty, she did not reply when he called
He didn't knew she was innocent guilty
But it'd come to that
He found the back door open
So he stole into the house
Where he found the body of her father
In the kitchen, blood was all around
On the table a letter that she wrote
Please forgive me
I have killed this man
'Cause he raped me
I can't stand the pain, the shame, my love, this last goodbye...
And he ran up the stairs to her room where she had opened her veins...
Innocent guilty, she did not reply when he called
He didn't knew she was innocent guilty
But as it seemed she was dead
No excuses, nothing can be done
This time it's coming to an end
And the truth is that I'm on the run
Loneliness is my only friend
Out there I see them staring at me, leaving me to die
Out there I feel they're scared about me, wanting me to die
Time is turning, it has passed me by
Unwanted, now the truth has died
The stake is burning, heaven is denied
The world prefers to blind their eyes
Out there I see them staring at me, leaving me to die
Out there I feel they're scared about me
I'm crucified, I'm crucified
And before the day is done, I'm crucified
Sacrificed to everyone, I'm crucified
I am every mother's son
I'm crucified, I'm crucified
Pointed fingers, gossip in the back
They shoot the bullet from behind
Cut the wings of those who try to fly
The devil's walking hand in hand
I'm crucified, I'm crucified
And before the day is done, I'm crucified
Sacrificed to everyone, I'm crucified
I am every mother's son
I've seen you with your mummy yesterday
you waved for me but then you couldn't stay.
Since then I've got this picture in my mind
it shows you in panties from behind.
I want to your mummy from your side
I want you, you're just the kind for me
I want you, you bring me up indeed
Don't leave me here alone, come over now.
I know you're kinda young but well grown out.
So what about a little here and now?
Yeah right, so what? Not yet, you know!
If mummy could see you now at my side...
I want you, you're just the kind for me
In the darkest hour
It is time for the truth
When you're fast asleep
In the darkest hour
A modern man, a nice gentle guy
He cuts a real smart figure from his head
To his toes
But when the night falls and the mask
Comes off him then,
He changes to a raping, pervert monster man
Like Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde
"I'm gonna get you tonight!"
In the darkest hour
It is time for the truth
When you're fast asleep
In the darkest hour
The upright housewife, busy with her meals -
Things like chatting with the milkman
Are her only thrills
But when the night falls and she puts
Her stocking on,
Yeah, then she gets in heavy
With the neighbour's so
Like she's a domina tonight
"I'm gonna shoot off your balls!"
Some people hide what they are
In the darkest hour
It is time for the truth
When you're fast asleep

[Lyrics: Peavy Wagner]
This is the time, this is the place for me
They brought me back to life again
It was for seen a long, long time ago
I'm coming back, I shall return
Everything I've seen
All the places I have been
And the secrets of the earth
Have been given at my birth
I withstand all that's worse
I'm human metal, yes, I am real, I'm human metal
I'm human metal and I am made to give you back what you have lost
I'm human metal, yes, I am real, I'm human metal
I'm human metal
And I am made to give you back what you have lost so long ago
Organic life is pumping through my veins
A hard drive's working in my head
My ears are trained to catch the tiniest sound
I'm powered by the notes I get
Made of blood and steel
A machine but I can feel
Activated by the sound
Of the music that's around
A raging metal pound
I'm human metal, yes, I am real, I'm human metal
I'm human metal and I am made to give you back what you have lost
I'm human metal, yes, I am real, I'm human metal
I'm human metal
And I am made to give you back what you have lost so long ago
Made to save your life and make you grow
A majestic symphony is life, so give up misery
Now raise your head and listen what's to come...
[Music and Lyrics by P. Wagner.]
So, now my time has come.
I will be dead and gone
from the earth's face.
It is my destiny,
this time I cannot hide
from this cruel fate.
A never ending memory,
a life before my eyes.
Whatever comes, whatever's been,
my pocket full of lies.
Like an arrow in the air,
falling endlessly and I know we're gonna be
Higher than the sky, we're
higher than the sky.
An ordinary flight,
who could imagine this
will be our death cell.
No miracle in sight,
We're diving faster now,
as for as I can tell.
I see the faces passing by,
there's fear inside their eyes.
They all will be my company
we're brothers now for life.
Like an arrow in the air,
falling endlessly and I know we're gonna be
Higher than the sky, we're
higher than the sky.

I wanna go, long time ago
It was the time when all the ladies used to show
They saved a dance for their heart's gentleman
They're waiting for the time and saved the day
For the french bourree
Give me a sign, a single sign
So I'll be waiting here until you will be mine
I wanna know, you let the other go
Then come along and dance with me today
To the french bourree
And if you let me in your heart
I will find a start
Take a chance on me, wait and you will see
You and me, it's gotta be
Let me win your heart with a bourree
I wanna go, long time ago
It was the time when all the ladies used to show
They saved a dance for their heart's gentleman
They're waiting for the time and saved the day
For the french bourree
And if you let me in your heart
I will find a start
Take a chance on me, wait and you will see
You and me, it's gotta be
Let me win your heart with a bourree

The wall inside, he built to defend himself.
He needs to hide, to keep independency.
The race is on, it can't be won.
A fortress in you head
one step among the dead.
Security for fear,
a fortress, caging in
for what you're here.
The pain inside, disappoinments everyday.
To keep his pride he can't find a better way (than)
to lock his mind, though he'll lose life.
A fortress in you head
one step among the dead.
Security for fear,
a fortress, caging in
for what you're here.
A fortress in you head
one step among the dead.
Security for fear,
a fortress in you head, oh.
A fortress caging in,
unreal behind your grin.
Security is lie,

Hey don't walk on by
You, don't stomp on my face
Once I was like you
I didn't care for nothing else
Had no sense for more than money and fame
Power and greed and the so called honour
Now I am gone and my body lies cold
Not much is left, so I pray
From the underworld, oh, listen now!
From the underworld, oh, listen now!
Listen now!
Time - I never had
Rushed through a restless day
You seem to be blind, too
When luck comes your way
You had no patience with people who cared
Until you lost them and when you grow old
You'll be a lonely rich man without hope
There's more to be than we see
From the underworld, oh, listen now!
From the underworld, oh, listen now!
Listen now!
What's this look inside my eyes,
This haunted creature, me.
What's this thing there in my back,
So strong but not to see.
Why is it that we're drowning in pain?
There's nothing evil here to stay
But fear in ourselves.
There's not a chance to find our way
With fear in ourselves.
We're possessed to take control,
To rule our world of sin.
Lower you to lift me up.
I cannot trust within.
Why is it that we're drowning in hate?
There's nothing evil here to stay
But fear in ourselves.
There's not a chance to find our way
With fear in ourselves.
With fear in ourselves...
There's nothing evil in this world
Sometimes when I'm by myself, before I fall asleep
the darkness becomes liquid and I'm drowning in the deep
Sinking like a stone, coming through different mental spheres
I see so many people reaching out when I get near.
I can see despair in their eyes and I hear them call,
they want me to rescue them, want me to free them all
Distant voices, I hear them calling me,
calling for me
Distant voices, I hear them calling me,
calling for me
They all lost their time
did not see their aim
died without a sense
they're still unredeemed
Distant voices, I hear them calling me,
calling for me
Distant voices, I hear them calling me,
calling for me
I've seen them everywhere in this world, legions of no hope.
They always close their eyes and they forget all what they know.
Perception comes to them when they are in the throes of death,
but it is too late to turn around...
If they'd seen it all before they wouldn't suffer this way now
‘cause it's easy dying after one has lived a fulfilled life
but perception comes to them when they are in the throes of death
and then it's too late to change it all...
Distant voices, I hear them calling me,
calling for me
Distant voices, I hear them calling me,
calling for me

We send satellites to space
And we own the biggest missiles
We give millions of support for technology
But still we can't even live in peace with our neighbour
Most of us are insane of neuroses
Enough is enough - You can control
Enough is enough - Those who don't know
Faster - This world is heading straight into a big disaster
Tell me, when will it reach its end?
Bigger - When moneymakers stamp our souls with technology
Believe me, this got to reach an end
All this misery in our minds will break free, you will see...
Social psychology - Seek the key for our salvation
This science needs more support, it could help that
The understanding of the single person can grow
But who pays
'Cause if we stay weak we are much better to use
Enough is enough - Head over heart
Enough is enough - Right from the start
Faster - This world is heading straight into a big disaster
Tell me, when will it reach its end?
Bigger - When moneymakers stamp our souls with technology
Believe me, this got to reach an end
All this misery in our minds will break free, you will see...
Science is only as good or as bad
As the people who use it
And if we want to have a tomorrow
We should take ten percent of the money from our armies
And develop the minds of our nations
Enough is enough - You can control
Enough is enough - Those who don't know
Faster - This world is heading straight into a big disaster
Tell me, when will it reach its end?
Bigger - When moneymakers stamp our souls with technology
Believe me, this got to reach an end
Faster - A victory 'bout fear, this is the greatest glory
Believe me, the first step has been made
Bigger - The real progress - Another quality in our way of life
From quantity to quality
Away from misery in our minds, make them free, it's got to be...
Help me, I must reach the border
I run from the keepers of order
They have locked me just for nothing
Help me, I'm down by law
Help me, I'm down by law
Watch out, they're at your door
Help me, I'm down by law
There's no chance to defend
When power is in wrong hand
Me, I come out for the dirt, I got nothing
No, the cops, they were looking for a fight
And I'm a victim of denunciation
(Repeat 2nd verse)
My fortune is a plight
Where's law there's no right
"Kill this bastard hunt him to death!"
"Oh, have mercy!" "No, you won't be free!"
Now I'm a criminal subject
Why? My life a mess, no turning back
Just because arbitrariness rules this land
Dies irae venit
Dies irae venit
Poena dei venit
Amen, amen
Poena dei venit
Time is late, heading into our fate
Nothing to change in the moment before our awakening
Hypnotised, nearly like paralysed
Just like the rabbit that stares in the eyes of the snake
No more tears will help the dying
No more sighing, nothing to wonder
Pride and anger wiped away
Kneel down, the end is near
Dies irae venit
Dies irae venit
Poena dei venit
Amen, amen
Poena dei venit
Darkened skies covering greed and lies
Restless the damned try to save their possessions with bleeding eyes
All in vain ´cause nothing will remain
Like we were told we'll end by extinction, you'll see
All the empires start to crumble
All will tumble, drown in the oceans
Pride and anger wiped away
Kneel down, the end is near
Dies irae venit
Dies irae venit
Poena dei venit
Amen, amen
Oh, can't you tell me what makes me fell this way?
It's overwhelming, obscuring all my days.
Give me a reason to carry on for more.
The change of season, it undermines my core.
A constant darkness coating me,
I cannot see you, no more...
Excuse me for the things I've said,
if I could change it I'd be glad,
it is just, it drives me to desperation,
to desperation.
There's no solution, I'm heading for the end.
The consecution is lying in my hand.
A constant streaming, opening me.
I cannot feel you, no more...
Forgive me all the things I've made
for peace of mind, now it's too late,
it is just, it drives me to desperation.
Excuse me for the things I've said,
if I could change it I'll be glad,
it is just, it drives me to desperation,
Hey, are you someone who can't help his pain?
Do you feel sad, feel like all was in vain?
Are you controlled by a depressive mind?
Are you the slave of your thoughts, all the time?
Come, let me show you
How they control you
See the difference!
You'll notice the difference
You'll soon make a difference
It's time to learn that it's all in your hand
You're not a victim, you must understand
Better erase what's not worth to be thought
Throw all this ballast you've kept overboard
Come, let me show you
How it controls you
Tell the difference!
You'll notice the difference
No! You interfere with my free will
I won't give my mind for you to fill
All those words are lies, don't need no
Deceiver
Hate is what you sow between all men
Kill - you made them acquiesce to death
You earn well when other men die
Deceiver
Fool, stay blind, get in line
Count me out, I've no doubts
A man in herd, with a lack of conscience
This won't be my way, can't see where's the sense
Darkness spreading thicker day by day
They're afraid of having lost their way

Strike you down on the chase
If it takes my last breath
I'll strike you down on the chase
Strike you downNo break 'till I've switched you off
I'll give you what you gave my love
My mind it needs to be cleansed
I'll get you - you know what that means

Wake the morning, time to go
I think I have to leave
In my shady, grey and dusty dress
I'll never make my way
In my darkened hemisphere
The sun refuses to shine
In this chain of doubts and rainy clouds
Where nothing wants to stay
It's a shame, all in vain
It's a game to pretend
In the end it's gonna be okay
The mystery when darkness turns to light
The great release when wrong will turn to right
I want to see when darkness turns to light
When the waking winds will reach my mind
And blow the night away...
Try to keep my head up high
Appear like I'm unscarred
But the mirror tells the bitter truth
You've hit me unprepared
Is it gonna stay like this
Is this my only range
Don't you keep me down, I want to live
I wanna see a change
It's a shame, all in vain
It's a game to pretend
In the end it's gonna be okay
Oh, I give a fuck
To what you say ‘bout what I'm doing -
Believe it or not
Oh, you can't comprehend
What I have made but try to find out
What I've meant
Tribunal, tribunal
Oh, not me
Mighty fools make the rules
Don't try to get rid of me
Robbery, robbery
Is mentality
Machinery, machinery
Building lies, but read the truth
Between the lines
Don't you let them fool ya, see the signs of time
Between the lines
Nothing' like it seems, so read between the lines
Now the time is right
You steal the authorities' might to rule our minds
Between the lines
Don't you let them fool ya, see the signs of time
Between the lines
Nothing' like it seems, so read between the lines

Again they buried an old miner
The poisoned stocks of stone in sight
The wind was sick from dust
They all knew that it would settle overnight
And they all went to work into the mines the next day
Like they'd done more than forty years now
They had destroyed their land for the atomic curse
'Cause they hoped it would help them somehow
Those who worked for a better life
Don't know to survive
It is another
Another kind of madness
Uranium wast is everywhere now
Radioactive gas escapes
Contaminated land and water denied responsibility
When they're leaving you nothing than a big load of death
And you know that a cancer's your end
What the industry's after
They don't ask where it's from
Don't you think that it's a crying shame?
Those who worked for a better life
Don't know how to survive
It is another
Another kind of madness
This journey started long ago
When will it end?
I don't know
My ship's been stranded many times
I've missed some chances,
Yes, I know
My tale is not ‘bout a hero
Anyway, but the stone and the flute are
With me
A pilgrim's path
I was a boy when Arnie died.
He put it all in my hands
This was the time I had to leave
On this path with no release
Though I've been seeking for a lifetime
I don't know exactly what I'm searching for
A pilgrim's path
I have begun to settle down -
Still there's a hole in my life.
This cannot be the reason why I was born
Restless heart
Maybe that I'm not alone here,
What will I find if I leave to seek new shores?
A pilgrim's path
Give me one more chance
Please don't leave me here

This world's so materialistic,
our life just makes sense when we buy.
You're just a part of the statistics
when there's a red line on your bank account, you cash runs out.
Half the population blinds their eyes.
They pretend a credit gives them wealthiness, consume contest
Just like a spider's web
Just like a spider's web
you try to get out but it holds you tighter
Just like a spider's web
Just like a spider's web
you try to get out but it holds you tight like
all of this borrowed existences,
how can they sleep in the night.
They are afraid when the bell rings.
They're working half their lifes to bay it back, ‘til heart attack
Half the population blinds their eyes.
They believe a credit gives them wealthiness, consume contest
Just like a spider's web...
Just alone, they're gone away
Six feet under ground
This was only yesterday
Six feet under ground
I've had my time, I've had my place
I've gone too far, stuck in disgrace
What is it that I have not found
Six feet under ground
Let me go, let me see clear
Let me look around
Something's waiting but not here
Six feet under ground
I've had my time, I've had my place
I've gone too far, stuck in disgrace
What is it that I have not found
Six feet under ground
How long will it take to understand
How long will it take to comprehend
To find my universe I have to let it go
So long, so long...
I've had my time, I've had my place
I've gone too far, stuck in disgrace
What is it that I have not found
Six feet under ground
Way back in time from ancient ways
Discover what was lost in haze
This is what I still have not found
Six feet under ground
I'm six feet...

A simple man from a no - wonderland
where you bury your dreams at birth.
He took a heart, cause he couldn't believe
that there's no better place on earth
Eastern man meets western land
holding his life in his hands
it is all over for those, who got nothing to lose
All of his life he had struggled for free
starving the rest of the time
without a dime and with no human rights
in a society built up on crime
and now eastern man meets western land
holding his life in his hands
what can the world do with
those, who got nothing to lose
Here he is, but what now?
Left outside, unwanted
Music and Lyrics by P. Wagner
I've been sitting, wondering. Where am I to go?
I spend time on too many things, turn my tides too slow.
I never felt so sick, that's all I know.
but when I hit my strings too loud
Then I will let my demons out
My RAGE - there's danger in my smile.
My RAGE - no, this is not my stile.
In the suburbs of my mind lives a gang of four
joining me from time to time in my mental war.
I never felt so mean, that's all I know.
But when I hit my strings to loud
then I will let my demons out
My RAGE...
Now I will let my demons out...
In my hour of darkness they will come again;
Fear, hate, frustration, desperation.
They are all so negative, but now I'll get them down,
Woman, I know it's not easy to say
But I miss you the longer I'm so far away
You know me, it's not easy to find the words
Woman, I miss you each day in the desert
Woman, tomorrow I might bite the dust
Believe me, I don't want to stay but I must
God help me, I'm so afraid, don't let me down
Oh, woman, I love you, I love you, I love you,
How I long for you, woman
We belong to each other...
Woman, I'm so afraid, don't let me down
Oh, woman, I love you, I love you, I love you,
In the gunfire's roaring sound
When I'm falling to the ground
I can see your face so real
Oh, how I long for you, woman
We belong to each other...
I wish it would be like before
In the days of the cold war
We could play around in peace
Oh how I long for you woman
He grew up in a normal home
Real Typical, we'd say
One sister and two brothers
They were comrades for the play
The video was his best friend,
He watched it day and night
But death and war was alright
Wild seed, wild seed from the start
Wild seed, wild seed, injured heart
He'd seen his daddy drinking
And he learned to asked no whys
When Mom was lying on the floor
With tears in her eyes
He went out with his brothers
And they laughed about the hurt
They felt so good and strong
When someone was aching in the dirt
Wild seed, wild seed from the start
Wild seed, wild seed, injured heart
Oh, that's really wild
Really wild insane
Deep into social hell
He always thought that women
Are the servants of men's greed
And really was, astonished
When she called for the police
So he lived in a normal jail
Real typical, we'd say
And yesterday they killed him
When he tried to break away
Wild seed, wild seed from the start
Wild seed, wild seed, injured heart
Really wild
Really wild insane
I've been searching everywhere
Looking for the final freedom
Where there are no boundaries
When you never need a reason
Well, it has been taking me some time
'Till I've got it what I've tried to find
Now I'm the shadow of the night
The keeper of the light
The guardian of the day
I'm anywhere, nowhere
Just call me, I'll be there
Welcome to the other side
No need for a place to hide
The other side, the other side
You might find it so unreal
Nothing makes a sense in your eyes
Relativity divides
There must be a life without lies
Well, it will be taking you some time
'Till you're gonna get it what you'll find
And now you're shadow of the night
A keeper of the light
A guardian of the day
You're anywhere, nowhere
You've made it, now you're there
Welcome to the other side
No need for a place to hide
Welcome to the other side
And now you're shadow of the night
A keeper of the light
A guardian of the day
You're anywhere, nowhere
You've made it, now you're there
Welcome to the other side
No need for a place to hide
Welcome to the other side
No need for a place to hide
The other side, the other side
Though it's nothing new: we still rob our planet
It's the daily truth, we interfere with everything
Annihilation of our life's space - it is such a
Wasteland
Nothing can exist without being disturbed
Civilization kills!
Wasteland
Sooner or later we'll transform a system
That's already been perfect
It's always been the same, we take
Ourselves too serious
We're not the best of all, we are just a part of it
Is there any race as destructive as we are?
Wasteland
Children are dying for what they do not see
Ideology kills!
Wasteland
Knowledge is something for people with reason,
With responsibility
Wasteland The more we even learn
Music by P.Wagner, S. Efthimiadis, C. Efthimiadis.
Lyrics by P. Wagner.
Like a kiss of evil it took hold on me.
Creeping paranoia, it will get me day by day.
Like the deadly viper with it's poisoned teeth
it is getting in my blood, a killing brain desease.
Oh, no, the thrill became a curse,
oh, the right has turned to wrong.
It's just me, myself to blame,
yes I could have seen it coming.
Now I'm a wasted man
this is 'cause I am under control.
Inside a self built cage,
screaming out the rage, under control.
Enslave my soul, I'm under control.
I can't live without it and I need it now,
what is I know about it will destroy me anyhow.
I have lost my free will, it's enslaving me.
Face inside me mirror let me out and set me free.
Oh, no, the thrill became a curse,
oh, the right has turned to wrong.
It's just me, myself to blame,
yes I could have seen it coming.
Now I'm a wasted man
this is 'cause I am under control.
Inside a self built cage,
screaming out the rage, under control.
Enslave my soul, I'm under control.
When my time to die has come,
Where will be the time and the place
To return from eternal space
Like a shadow out of time
Everything that lives on earth
Has got a mind to start once again
When a life has passed
Beginning and end, they go hand in hand
And when I'm gone, what will become of me,
an animal or a man?
Where'll be the time and the place
In this endless cycle
Noone gets lost
Tiny like dusts we're whirled away
In oceans of the universe
Where'll be the time and the place,
Time and place
No one could have known that you would end in
this way
You gotta face it, it's the end
This world knows no right, they wouldn't see what
is truth
They won't believe you're not to blame
No one can say - what's coming your way
And there ain't no way out
They're all looking down
No one makes no sound
Why must it end all in this way, why, why, why?
The torture's been surmounted now
you told them all they wanted
The pain you've overcome somehow
but what'll come from now on?
Dyin' and rotting will be your destiny
Sooner than nature planned
Where are those who loved you they all turned away
And no one will shed a tear
Chorus:
Raise up your eyes
The scaffold awaits
Truth tells no lies
The scaffold awaits
You're left alone in agony
The death blow awaits you
The public is your enemy
For crime someone must pay
Lying is right - it's an antinomy
But no one gives a shit
What is it, this mankind, a crowd of betrayers
Fearing for their own lives?
Chorus
Dyin' and rotting will be your destiny
sooner than nature planned
You thought that someone loved you, but they let an
innocent die
Chorus
Good or evil - it's in their minds
But they're so careless, though you've been kind
Take care of treason, kiss on your cheek
They got perception, but they're too weak
So many voices outside the room
They're waiting for you, await your doom
Lay down your head now - you're gonna die
Music and Lyrics by P. Wagner
It was the year of madness and insanity.
There was no other cure for my disease.
The overdose - I took it ‘cause I had to flee,
it was nearly a journey that had no return,
the fever burned, I was gone -delirium.
There I was striding to heaven and they were calling me from beyond and I heard: "Don't look back!"
But I did and my eyes, they can't forget that sight
‘cause all water and land was dead.
Destroyed, denied, all tears undried,
the crawling chaos comes.
The twilight died, eternal night,
the crawling chaos comes.
A giant maelstrom, absorbing what we'd left back,
the deserts of cadaverous, mortal loam
and jungles of decay and decadence, where once
had been the homelands of my people,
temples of my ancestors, they were gone, dead and gone
Then the cracks in the ground, they were breaking up
and all water was streaming in,
Hidden competition time! Try to find out which
songs are included in this. There are bits and
pieces from every album from "Reign of Fear"
I know Sally, let me tell ya, what ‘bout her
she's a medium, she can catch the vibes in the air
she's so sensitive with supernatural powers
I have seen her talkin' to the Dead in trance
...Talk to Grandpa
...Talk to Grandpa
...Talk to Grandpa
...Talk to Grandpa
Since I know ‘bout it there's one thing that I want
she should ask my grandpa, if he's there beyond
ask what happend with the money that he save
‘cause noone found it in his house when he had died.
...Talk to Grandpa
...Talk to Grandpa
...Talk to Grandpa
...Talk to Grandpa
Ask my grandpa if he's got a dime for me!
...Talk to Grandpa
...Talk to Grandpa
...Talk to Grandpa
This is something that we worked on for
"Execution guaranteed" in '86, somehow
we forgot all about it.
Shoot down the helpless - that's nothing new
but I ain't gonna be oppressed by you
Mister ruler - you bathe in blood
but you won't get mine, I swear by god.
See all this dying
hear all this crying
Submission
Why do you wonna be always right
there' no other way but to be on your side
but there ain't no way to wipe out free will
it'll keep on growing when you try to kill it
I won't surrender
return to sender
Submission
Throw me in the dungeons
you won't get me down - no you won't
call me what you want now
I will get revenge - sweet revenge
No, you won't get me
see what you've set free
Music by P. Wagner, S. Efthimiadis / Lyrics by P. Wagner
Think back to when you were younger,
remember when life had no scars.
You were at home in your own mind,
responsive to your inner call.
I'm waiting you'll come back,
I'm waiting for your return.
Don't waste your time any longer.
Start a new story, start a new glory.
Don't waste your time any longer.
Start a new story, start a new glory in life!
You're in a state of progression,
shapeless fears break free someway.
Your life became an obsession
when the machine stole your days.
Why do you lose your time in senseless rites
that dry your will away?
There was an "Avenger" song called "Stay wild"
in '85. After a major rearrangement and with
different words it sounds like this.
All the years we joined our lives
we did never regret
our decisions and the way
that we kept our heads.
When I needed you the most,
in my hour of pain,
I awoke the rudest way
my belief was in vain.
In you, as I tell you weren't there
didn't catch my fall, oh no,
now you've killed all I had.
She killed and smiled
she killed and smiled
what a beautiful death you brought, my child.
Wrath is burning in my mind,
why can't you take it back.
No excuses, no regrets,
you just broke my back.
Oh, you turned your back, shut your mouth
didn't had a word of trust (love)
now you've killed all I had.
She killed and smiled
she killed and smiled
I'm the king of the world
All money, all power, all godlike
And everything you rely on
Hey, you think you are safe this way
But now I'm going to change the rules
You gave it all in my hands
Your days, they will be counted soon
What goes around that will come around
You will have to take what's to come
Raise your head, it is time to burn
You'll set this world on fire
All you had's gone with no return
You'll set this world on fire
You - tell me what you've learned
You took all the gifts that I gave you
And turned them into a nightmare
Hey, you've had every chance there was
You fool, you always failed too soon
You should be one step ahead
I'm fear - and I still make the rules
What goes around that will come around
You will have to take what's to come
Raise your head, it is time to burn
You'll set this world on fire
All you had's gone with no return
You'll set this world on fire
Shadows are creeping - the air's so still
While you're sleeping - they're on the loose
Eyes wide open - you lie awake
You wish it was morning - but you can't choose
Chorus:
The air is full of sound
Their time has come to move
Night scenes, they scream
Night scenes...
The walls are cracking - you cannot move
Something rotten - lies next to you
Will this nightmare never end?
This is torture - man can't prevent
You are exposed for hours
To supernatural powers
Your body won't be injured
But in your mind you'll get scared
Chorus
Has our fate been written in our sleep
Can we see the way we got to keep
Shadows are creeping - the air's so still
While you're sleeping - they're on the loose
The night is full of wonders
If you just like it gruesome
You hear but you can't see
A thrilling scenery
There are secret tests
Labs in east and west
Working for their states
On a second race
Changing human genes,
Building ‘em new again
To a perfect kind -
Modern Frankensteins
It's a simple plan:
They try to build a man
That's more productive,
More intelligent
Pefect mind and body
But it is no use
Humanity will lose
‘cause the greater mass
Becomes a second class
Nature's not to rule
Those who try to do
Could be the first to go
When the mutants come
Who would stop these slaves
When they leave their cage?
Then we'll meet our fate
‘cause they're better, they've got
Perfect mind and body
Nature's not to rule
Those who try to do
Could be the first to go
When the mutants come
Who would stop these slaves
When they leave their cage?
Then we'll meet our fate
‘cause they're better, they've got
Life means being perfect day by day
Restless
I need somebody's help to get away
Don't trust no one,
They don't want you, they want your pay
Win or loose
Machinery - destroying what I want to be
Machinery - there's nothing that you get for free
Reporters work for those who pay them well
Ruthless
The top priority is just to sell
Obey or die
If you don't play the game, you'll die
Win or loose
Machinery - doesn't care about you and me
Machinery - got no choice at all
The public wants to be fed with big lies
Illusions, images and big dreams
Turns fools into kings, let genies die meanwhile
The glory's half as bright as it seems to be
Why don't you really love the things you do?
Liar
No matter what it is, it won't be true
Bitch of success
You sold your honour for the gold
Win or loose
Machinery - destroying what I want to be
Machinery - got no choice at all
Machinery - there's nothing that you get for free
Now I sit and think
Another lousy drink
There has got to be a better way
They can't pull my chain
I'm the one to blame
It's for sure there always gonna pay
Finder's keepers, losers, weepers, haters, lovers ... a world away
I'm always alone in my dreamland
I'll show them I'm living my dream ´till the end
That's right
Can you feel my pain
Tears that fall like rain
Fall to dry but never leave a stain
People never learn
For every twist a turn
Twisting, burning bridges fall in vain
Finder's keepers, losers, weepers, haters, lovers ... a world away
I'm always alone in my dreamland
I'll show them I'm living my dream ´till the end
I'm always at home in my dreamland
I'll show that I'm living my dream ´till the end
Ideals and options, a cross for all to bear
Only to fall prey to blind eyes and closed ears
Without dreams we serve no purpose
Without dreams we walk among the dead
Finder's keepers, losers, weepers, haters, lovers ... a world away
I'm always alone in my dreamland
I'll show them I'm living my dream ´till the end
I'm always at home in my dreamland
Music by P. Wagner, S. Efthimiadis, C. Efthimiadis, S. Fischer / Lyrics by P. Wagner
[The Mysterium]
Awakening this curse was the least of all my fears.
If I could turn back time to free me from this crime.
It started back in time when something stole my mind
and led me through aeons to place and time unknown.
I lived their life, lost in their time, without my face.
Take me back home from these cryptic walls.
I wait for a sign from my own reality, I wait here
in a nameless time.
A certain time passed by, I returned to my life
with memories hard to find, a secret in my mind.
I found it out, I've learned about the place I've been.
Take me away to these cryptic walls.
I wait for a sign from this old reality, it calls me
from a nameless time.
Take me back to these cryptic walls,
to this desert place and this strange reality, it calls me
from a nameless time.
[The Expedition]
I broke up to find this place, find those from the elder race.
In this unknown desert land I was digging in the sand.
Found these ruins, blocks of stone, older than the Egypt ones.
Climbed in caves, unspeakable, far down in the planets depths.
There were these enchanted books, pages that I've known too well,
written by the aliens ‘bout the way their study's been.
They transformed through space and time in all kinds of living minds
learning this way everything how through times the culture's been.
And I imagined how it's been like traveling through a name less time.
And I remembered how I felt when I was
in a nameless time, in a nameless time...
Take me home from these cryptic vaults.
I wait for a sign from my own reality, I wait here
in a nameless time.
[Finding Out]
Although the most I knew I needed a final proof
if I'd been one of them. And then these pages came :
My written words! So I'd been here in one of them...
Take me back home from these cryptic vaults.
‘cause I've been alive in this strange reality,
release me from this nameless time.
Take me home from these cryptic vaults.
I'm cursed for all time in this strange reality,
It's been a long night and it's cold there, outside
As I watch the break of day
It's starting to rain like the sky is crying in pain for me
I hear the sound of people running around
Life is there, beyond the door
I was with them, I know, just a few days ago but it's over
Dust in the wind
There is nothing lasting long
One thing must pass, the other's born
Dust in the wind
There is nothing left behind
All that we are's dust in the wind
Many were there, for my wounds they have cared
As I was lying on the ground
I wish I'd have made some friends
but now it's too late, I'm alone
Dust in the wind
There is nothing lasting long
One thing must pass, the other's born
Dust in the wind
There is nothing left behind
All that we are's dust in the wind
This is the end, brother give me your hand
I'm afraid to let it go
Noone's to blame if they forget
who's the name on my gravestone
Dust in the wind
There is nothing lasting long
One thing must pass, the other's born
Dust, only dust
There is nothing left behind
All that we are's dust in the wind
Dust in the wind
There is nothing left behind
In the top of the trees all these eyes follow me.
All is black, like the crows, stiff my neck as it bows.
On my knees I will play among death and decay,
And it blackens the sun as the end has begun.
I never saw the mighty spirits
That gathered now to purity the world.
It is the time of the changing season,
The cleaning hands of water. Wind and fire - feel the fire.
Winter rides the wings of heaven
Sorrow marches through the land.
This is the beginning of the end.
And the flood rises higher, swallows cities alive.
Still the flames' hunger grows, taking over our homes.
In the eye of the storm, gods creation reborn.
666 in our hearts, it will tear us apart.
This is the age of the sunlight children
And from the ashes we'll build it up again.
The curtain of the night will fall down
And stronger, wiser than before we'll stand - take my hand.
Winter rides the wings of heaven
Sorrow marches through the land.
This is the beginning of the end.
Darkness covers lonely faces,
Mercyful death takes their hand.
