(Michael Kiske)
Now it¹s time to shake it all up the be free
Now it¹s time to make us some room to let us be
oh, it feels so bad
Yes it feels so bad
When everything good looks so bad
When everything right goes so wrong
I am up to break it all down what¹s in my way
I won¹t stop until I am where I¹m going to stay
Noone holds me back
No, noone holds me back
Don¹t wanna be what i¹m not
But its gotta be myself who break my neck
I look here and you look there, I know it¹s got to be somwhere
We look around and search around and walk around and hear around
We keep on looking Rtil we know what for
If you don¹t know it, I don¹t know it, we don¹t kow it, who will know it ?
All of us don¹t know what we should know maybe one day we¹ll know
But anyway we¹ve got to make a stop
Over my head look over my head you won¹t see no halo
It¹s driving me mad I must hold it back inside
When the sinner searches sin, it¹s all of us
When we finally search inside, it¹s under us
We keep on looking anyway
If we don¹t find it who must pay ?
All I¹ve ever done I¹ve done for you !
In my mind the battle goes on Rtil I give up
Will we find the key of life we once have dropped ?
Do you really care ?
Tell me you really care !
You may find Mr Blame
But the guilt of life burns everywhere
Give me light to see my inside, give me light to see my sin
I¹d never do what I regret, I¹ve never done anything bad
You must be joking when you point at me !
Hey ! Don¹t you blame me ! Don¹t you touch me !
Won¹t you ever leave me be ?
I wanna live ! Don¹t wanna think ! Why should I gve what I can drink ?
Man ! Life is short so I take what I need !
Over your head
When the sinner...
Pain !
I feel inside It¹s such a
Shame !
Noone fights fair, but who¹t to
Might be the game of life but it ain¹t over
Now ! I walk my way firm any
How !
My conscience speaks and there are
Doubts !
But nothing¹s sure in life and it ain¹t over
Now !
I look here... Over my head ...
No more feel, no more heal
No more light meets my eyes
Is it night, is it day
I'm alone, paralyzed
Everybody is waiting for the one
Everyone will freeze to death alone
The smile of the sun
Was stolen - someone
Has taken away
The heart of all day
The smile of the sun
Is gone and no one
But you drives away
The pain of the grey
Is anybody out there
Somebody help me
Got to breathe, got to move
Got to get back my life
Here's no hope, here's no joy
In this world full of strife
Gone away, gone astray
All I once believed in
It's my soul, it's my heart
It beats slower and dies
Everybody is waiting for the one
Everyone will freeze to death alone
The smile of the sun
Was stolen - someone
Has taken away
The heart of all day
The smile of the sun
Is gone and no one
But you drives away
The pain of the grey
Is anybody out there waiting
Anybody out there for me
The smile of the sun
Was stolen
Somebody help me
The smile of the sun
Is gone and no one
But you drives away
The pain of the grey
The smile of the sun
Was stolen - someone
Has taken away
The heart of all day
The smile of the sun
Is gone and no one
But you drives away
The pain of the grey
Is anybody out there waiting
Anybody out there for me
Is anybody out there searching
Anybody out there, call me
The smile of the sun
Was stolen
In the white room with black curtains near the station
Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings
Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes
Dawn light smiles on you leaving, my contentment
I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves
You said no strings could secure you at the station
Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows
I walked into such a sad time at the station
As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning
I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back
Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves
At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd
Consolation for the old wound now forgotten
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes
She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings
I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd
Can you hear me
Do you know me
I'm a taker
I'm a faker
Oh my God, don't wanna know
Where the sinners go
Oh my God show me no way
Mercy, don't struck me a blow
Don't wanna know
Where the sinners go
Don't wanna know
Where the sinners go
May I argue
Is it all true
You forgive us
What is and was
Oh my God, please look away
Mercy, don't struck me a blow
Don't wanna know
Where the sinners go
Don't wanna know
Where the sinners go
Can you hear it
Or is it just summining in my ears only?
It's talking
Words so true and old
I'm afraid to loose my mind
No, no, don't wanna know
Where the sinners go
Don't wanna know
Insania 2 O 4
We've thrown away our former Gods controlling our day
We have created better ones so we control the way
We are the ones with the power to hold down the enemy
Our Gods are perfection and they are protecting our lives
We still need some more of them to be safe from the other side
As long as we're stronger nothing will happen to us
Fire flash in the night, just an evil dream
Holy war in the sky, never
Insania 2 O 16
Error in store 1 O 3, we watch the sun at night
The pretty Gods we've built ourselves now terminate our lives
Silicone brain powered voices are crying attack tonight
Our Gods are now fightling in anger, burning our world
The doomsday has come and there is no place to hide away
The future is over and there is no turning back
FirefIash in the night, now reality
Holy war in the sky
Twilight of the Gods, insania's dead and gone
Another world was born but the twilight soon will come
FirefIash in the night, now reality
Holy war in the sky
Twilight of the Gods, insania's dead and gone
Sometimes there's no tomorrow
Sometimes you hate the day
You feel there may be something
That intends to screw with fate
Take a look at what surrounds you
Each time you watch the news
Your mind gets set by someone's will
A template you can't choose
Love and desire, dry ice or fire
Don't you just want to flee their magic spell
No mercy for the nations
Two people are at war
Beliefs divide the dream they share
Of peace and harmony
Their eyes look up to heaven
Address our God in prayers
Their souls exposed
They may decease by emperor's decree
Look, how they're crying
There's no denying
Now change the channel
On your remote control
And the tune goes on eternally
For those who share the fear
On a frequency for you and me
You stare but you can't see
You hear and you agree
We're all here for a reason
So we can't just hang around
There's so much left to see and learn
Make way for common ground
And those who head the wrong way
Will rate as minor class
As castaways they'll render fools
When the horsemen come to rule
Strike the last hour in their glass towers
Infinite lust has made the curtain fall
And the tune goes on eternally
For those who share the fear
On a frequency for you and me
You stare but you can't see
You hear but you agree, you agree
And the tune goes on eternally
For those who share the fear
On a frequency for you and me
You stare but you can't see
You hear but you agree
And the tune goes on eternally
For those who long to hear
And those freaks sense they're superior
We're hypnotized, you see
I?m your maker
Mold your mind
Idea-creator
Bias from behind
People never wonder
How the world goes round
They who care go under
That?s what I?m about
I Kill It, Kill It, Kill It
Kill It, Kill It
Care must die
Kill It, Kill It, Kill It
What we can?t tie
What we can?t buy
Must die
I?m soul hunter
Of the might
Upright hatemonger
Angel of the blind
People never wonder
How the world goes round
They who care go under
That?s what I?m about
I Kill It, Kill It, Kill It
Kill It, Kill It
Care must die
Kill It, Kill It, Kill It
People never wonder
How the world goes round
They who know must follow
They who don?t die bound
I pay billions
All got a price
Plain corruption
No roll of the dice
People never wonder
How the world goes round
They who care go under
That?s what I?m about
I Kill It, Kill It, Kill It
Kill It, Kill It
Care must die
Kill It, Kill It, Kill It
What we can?t tie
What we can?t buy
Helloween "The Time Of The Oath"
[M&L; - Grapow/Deris]
In a circle of fire
On a cold winter night
I spoke out my desire
Made a promise
I couldn't hide, no!
In a dream
He came along and told me
Your time has come
your mind belongs to me
It's the time of the oath
The time of the oath
My sweetest memories
die in the cold
It's the time of the oath
See me couvered
with sadness
And I'll soon wish to die
When the overcoming madness
Is eating up my mind
Here and now
I look back at a good time
No more lie
I slowly say god- bye
It's the time of the oath
The time of the oath
My sweetest memories
die in the cold
I'm reaching out to find a reason
To find an answer and relief
I see a world so strange and cold
I see a world of rules and thieves
The day you're born you're under pressure
Your life is well prepared my friend
They surely teach you what to think how to behave until the end
All I ever wanted is a little piece of life
In a world where I decide things on my own
All I ever needed is a little piece of hope
And then things are gonna turn the other way
I'm living in a world of fantasy
Reality ain´t good enough for me
And all that I can feel is nothing but sobriety
I'm living in a world of fantasy
Reality ain't meant or made for me
All that I see is so unreal
And once you're old enough they teach you
Not to be wishful not to care
About the plan that's been already made for you by other hands
But when you fail there's no one out there
To take your hand to catch your tears
The whole construction we have built leaves no such room for blinding fears
I wonder I wonder if I can handle it all
Father, it's time
Have a heart for your child who cries in pain
Not a new sign
But a strike that'll blow those fools away
Open your eyes
If you've got any you just look for too long a time
They spit on your name
Doin' everything darned as highest crime
They believe they could walk on the water
Playin' godsleep with the Devils daughter
Killed your son and might kill mine
But you don't mind
Why, Lord, why, tell me why?
In these lonely days
I'd need your answer
There's a reason, why
How could you fail?
Still it's time, turn the black into the light
Why do you wait?
Do you look down and laugh at what you find?
Can't you see they are mistreating their daughters
They believe they could walk on the waters
They killed your son and might kill mine
But you don't mind
Why, Lord, why, tell me why?
In these lonely days
I'd need your answer
There's a reason why
Why, Lord, why, tell me why?
Your the only light
Forever lasting
Tell me father, why
Why, Lord, why, tell me why?
In these lonely days
I'd need your answer
There's a reason why
Why, lord, why, tell me why?
Your the only light
Forever lasting
Tell me father, why
Father it's time
Father it's time
Blackened sky a final flash
Death is in the air
Warriors without a face
Destruction everywhere
Silent falls the hammer
No one hears the cries
No escaping from this hell
Your prayers won't be heard... so die
Brainless cruel commanders
Sending death and pain
Solider only robots
Fight for their life in vain
Silent falls the hammer
No one hears the cries
No escaping from this hell
Your prayers won't be heard... so die
Chorus - Die now die warrior !
Die now die warrior !
Somewhere in a shelter sit the men
Who hold your fate in this hands
Playin' chess and you're the loser
You're a small pawn in their game
Somewhere in a shelter sit the men
And they don't realize
A war without survivors is a fight
That's never won... so die !
Barren land desolate waste
Destruction is complete
Survivors creepin' through the ruins
Decaying flesh and meat
Somewhere in a shelter
Some pigs are still alive
And they still play the game
They won't give a damn... so die !
Chorus
I was born in the rotten part of the town
The biggest trap I had seen
Wherever you'll go and wherever you'll get to
Evil is around
My mother's a bitch my father's a killer
Gettin' paid for a murder
Fightin' and strugglin' the whole day
The only way to survive
Wanted from law but they'll never catch me
I'd much rather die in this bloody war
Chorus - Fly high touch the sky
Never know the reason why it ends
Victim of fate
I had to kill people to save my own life
I don't wanna get to hell
I started at the bottom
I'm heading for the top
I'll never return I'll never go back
To the Goddamn part of the town
Headhunters won't get me 'cause I'm not stupid
But this ain't the life I dreamt of
Wanted from law but they'll never catch me
I'd much rather die in this bloody war
Chorus
What now lonly man who's standig
In the shadow of the streets
You're left alone with no helpin' hand beside you
You hide from the daylight livin in darkness
You got no friends you can trust nobody
Except for yourself
The only shade that's beside you
Is the shade of Lucifer
Laughing with a satanic smile
And his friend death sharpens his sickle
You don't wanna die do you ? But you will
You will burn in hell
Chorus
Fly high, touch the sky, you will die !
Feel it running off
So strong and clear
An age is over fast
And disappears
Help him if you can
His hour will come soon
Push away his fear
He'll see Elysium
It's time
It's time
Guard him a little while
And calm his shiver
Wash and dry his tears
And cool his fever
Take the bibles words
Speak it pure his soul
Lay love in his mind
His close to the final goal
It's time
It's time
It's time to go
Time for the freedom
Time to face what we all believe in
Pray strong
Pray to the higher
Turn your back on the devil's fire
Time to go
Time for the freedom
Time to face what we all believe in
Time is passing by
When his mind was clear
He called you brother
Now his brain is dazed
It's resigning rather
Mother take his hand
Say a last Good-Bye
We're not gifted to
Turn water into wine
It's time
It's time
It's time to go
Time for the freedom
Time to face what we all believe in
Pray strong
Pray to the higher
Turn your back on the devil's fire
Time to go
Time for the freedom
Time to face what we all believe in
(Michael Weikath)
Time goes wherever you are, time is your guiding star
That shines all through your life, makes you feel and move
My dreams are out in the far, so are yours a part
Of secret fairy tales, dripped on the wings of a mystery mill
Windmill, windmill, keep on turning; show me the way, take me today
Windmill, windmill, hearts are yearning, longing for love and a chance
To be free
Don¹t feel aloen and depressed, someone will come at last
To soothe your stumbling mind, to keep it away from the evil storm
Up here in space
I'm looking down on you.
My lasers trace
Everything you do.
You think you've private lives
Think nothing of the kind.
There is no true escape
I'm watching all the time.
I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam.
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean.
I'm elected electric spy
I protected electric eye.
Always in focus
You can't feel my stare.
I zoom into you
You don't know I'm there.
I take a pride in probing all your secret moves
My tearless retina takes pictures that can prove.
Electric eye, in the sky
Feel my stare, always there
There's nothing you can do about it.
Develop and expose
I feed upon your every thought
And so my power grows.
I never look higher
Than I could see
Never gave less
Than you have given me
The more you have taken
you turned into fakes
I finaly know now why for Heaven's sake?
Don't tell me you did not see that I cryed
Don't act so deaf and blind
Don't think that if someones made dumb to the core
He would stay like before
So I take my life
Back from where the rain grows
Die to survive
Back from where the rain grows
Now you call me liar
'Cause you are just the
"Always have right fools mojority"
I think that it's someones
start at your side
you'd all turn your back
Won't give any dime
Don't tell me you did not see that I cryed
Don't act so deaf and blind
Don't think that if someones made sad to the core
He would stay like before
So I take my life
Back from where the rain grows
Die to survive
Back from where the rain grows
From where the rain grows
I know where thr rain grows
I'm back from where the rain grows
Climb down my pile
And again to the beat of my heart
You're so exiting
Take all the soul
I will give you as
much as you want
Higher, much higher
Umbouned fire
Closer, come closer
Close to the core
We burn, we burn
I contaminate you
I like to polute you with my
G- g- generations
Look into my eyes
And we melt into
on yearning mind
We climb the stages
Higher, much higher
Umbouned fire
Closer, come closer
Close to the core
We burn, we burn
Insanity, insanity
Never set me free
Higher, much higher
Set me on fire
Closer, come closer
Close to the core
We burn, we burn
Insanity, insanity
Never set me free
Now I'm here all alone
Takin' care of my own
Down in no man's land
Got no friend, got no dime
Only plenty of time
Where's the saving hand?
I got that feeling to need
More and more attention
That is the fever, don't leave me alone
I got that feeling to make
More than conversation
That is the fever,
Where's my home?
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
It's not true what you see
Behind that mask that's not me
Try to reach my world
Can't you see I'm so blind
Stay with me to change my mind
No more nightmares, girl
I got that feeling to need more
And more attention
That is the fever, don't leave me alone
I got that feeling to make more
Than conversation
That is the fever, where's my home?
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
I got that feeling to need more
And more attention
That is the fever, don't leave me alone
I got that feeling to make more
Than conversation
That is the fever,
Where's my home?
Take me home
Take me home
Thunder, flash and lightening is working on my back
The tables in the kitchen are tryin' to break my neck
All the late night memories are leaning in my shoes
My mother's old grey leather gloves are singing loud the blues
I can taste what's in the sun
No time to waste 'cause there is none
When I feel blue I see it shine
But still it's true I'm doin' fine
You can't see me 'cause now I'm all free
Now you know I'm through
And all that's not new
Sitting on a paperback 'cause I don't know what really cracks
I'm tryin' to climb my pencil to get high
No one tells me what to do 'cause no one knows what I've been through
You don't know a thing but you can learn
It's time to touch the sky
My mind is free I fly
You think you are alone
In this universe
What would you say if there are some
Armed with all you deserve
Destiny my friend you´ll see
Counts nothing anymore
Open up your mind now and realize
They may come for sure
Dead and gone
No survivors
They´ll hit and crush our earth
You stupid mankind
Evolution everywhere
Who do you think you are
Like you are on the top of there ?
They may come for war
More evil, violent and vain
Than you could ever be
Can beam through time and bring you pain
All dead no one flees
Destiny my friend you´ll see
Counts nothing anymore
Open up your mind now and realize
They may come for sure
Dead and gone
No survivors
They´ll hit and crush our earth
With no mercy
Dead and gone
No more fightin´
They´ll kill and burn your earth
You stupid mankind
They don´t care
They don´t care
They don´t care
They don´t care
Dead and gone
No survivors
They´ll hit and crush our earth
With no mercy
Dead and gone
No more fightin´
They´ll kill and burn your earth
(Weikath)
We're living in our units
And one thing we can do is
Work for a life without a fate
We don't pay any taxes
But the state is the axes
Of our minds without love without hate
We have a higher order
No one needs to be a hoarder
Our society is such a glorious thing
In our centers we can dream of
Anything you never think of
You can't say we are puppets on a string
Our minds are kept so clean
Checked up on a screen
They're holy men, they're saints
Without them we might all fail
We don't know war and crime
Things of ancient times
We just see it if we put on video
The blue pass is for my life
And the red one's for my wife
It's the only thing we really need to show
There are still some without rules
But I tell you, they're all fools
The Guardians will find them as we've seen
We got banks where we freeze them
They get new brains screwed in then
And act contrarily to what they have been
With new minds made so clean
Checked up on a screen
They will be the saints
Without them we might all fail
Chorus Guardians of our lives
Protect security
They turn the key and they step in
Controlling you and me
Guardians of our lives
Take care eternally
Solo: both/K/M
Chorus
Puppets on a string
Day by day you work off your claws
The line of fate in them may not pay your loans
You got to keep going and going on strive
Day by day
Do you know? Ooh, do you know? Ooh..
Do you know what you're fighting for?
The seed is sown, but we don't know the score
They will rule us, this breed of futility
You won't make an escape
'Cause we will still be alive
Disenchantment, alienation
A slog to feed future, estranged generations
And retired, will you get rewarded
Your brave restraint?
Do you know? Ooh, do you know? Ooh..
Do you know what you're fighting for?
The seed is sown, but we don't know the score
They will rule us, this breed of futility
You won't make an escape
'Cause we will still be alive
Do you know what you're fighting for?
The seed is sown, but we don't know the score
They will rule us, this breed of futility
You won't make an escape
'Cause we will still be alive
Ooh, will they need you?
Piece by piece you're
Tearin' me apart
Give to me and try
Another start
Brick by brick you
Really love that game
Things from which i
Can't refrain
So many stories have
Been told
I give a damn,
They're just too old
How often will we face
The end of our dreams?
When will I see it
All come true?
A splendid time
For me and you
Can we expect it bein'
Nice as it seems?
Will you be
My secret alibi
Angel of my nights
Can we do it right?
Let's just try each
Others loce so sweet
Till we can't deny
My secret alibi
Ding by ding can you
Dig my dong
It may come short
But it might come long
Limb by limb you're
Climbing up my tree
Making things more
Fun for me
So many stories have
Been told
I give a damn,
They're just too old
How often will we face
The end of our dreams?
When will I see it
All come true?
A splendid time
For me and you
Can we expect it being
Nice as it seems?
Will you be
My secret alibi
Angel of my nights
Can we do it right?
Let's just try each
Others loce so sweet
Till we can't deny
My secret alibi
will you be
My secret alibi
Angel of my nights
Can we do it right?
Let's just try each
Others love so sweet
Till we can't deny
Do you know what there is
Just behind your wall?
Do you hate what you can't see
On the spinning ball?
Ignorant and wasted
That's what you are
But you could be so much more
Listen to your TV
Believe the words
And you're dumber than more
Try to see the real picture
Train your mind
To read between the lines
Take your level higher
That is your way
Just get up
Start out today
Time seems an endless road
When we are young
It don't need a genius to know that it's wrong
Hey now, hey now
Open your life
Hey now, hey now
Open your life
Rise now, rise now
Feel the new drive
Hey now, hey now
Open your life
Full synthetic anger
That's what you breathe
It's a strategy for all
Telling people stories
And bed time tales
But the real important false
So you grow the wrong seed
Inside your head
To the will of the modern priest
Supervised aggression
Instructed to sleep
That's the devil that you breed
All that we learn
Is just one point of view
Out there in the world
It may not become true
Hey now, hey now
Open your life
Hey now, hey now
Open your life
Rise now, rise now
Feel the new drive
Hey now, hey now
Open your life
Time seems an endless road
When we are young
It don't need a genius to know that it's wrong
Hey now, hey now
Open your life
Hey now, hey now
Open your life
Rise now, rise now
Feel the new drive
Hey now, hey now
When I was a young boy
I had no aim
Neither experience
It wasn't a shame
Most of the time
It satisfied me
But one day I realised
Music is like a rising sun
Time are changing now
And memory fades
I gaze at the photos
A look in the haze
You cannot imagine
How many friends I've lost
It's much too late
For calling them back
Music is like a sunrise for me
It's joyful like a trip in a time machine
Music is like a sunrise for me
It's like coming home
I was always insecure
Sometimes I still am
But I made up my mind now
And look here I stand
I ask myself sometimes:
Is it all worth it?
To fly over mountains
Makes you fall down again
But music is like a sunrise for me
It's joyful like a trip in a time machine
Music is like a sunrise for me
Full moon standing in the streets
I know the time is near
Incarnate power roaring
From the sky
Unrelenting forces
Blasting through the air
Roaring thunder
Lift your hands and pray
Running through the empty streets
They're looking for the fight
Swords gleam in the light of moon
The Gods prepare to strike
Metal invaders
Ready to strike
A warning from hell
Be careful tonight
(Owh)
Dark night overwhelming bright light
See the demons fly
Can't trust your senses
Fear you'll have to die
Super mighty shadows
Casting amplitudes to ears
Sounds you've never heard
That take you high
Time has come for them to rise
Invasion is their doom
Riding high on iron horses
In the light of moon
Metal invaders
The Gods on their ride
Sworn to bring metal
Mayhem tonight
Tonight
(Ohh)
Tonight, tonight
(Ohh)
Tonight
Full moon standing in the streets
I know the time is near
Incarnate power roaring
From the sky
Unrelenting forces
Blasting through the air
Roaring thunder
Lift your hands and pray
Running through the empty streets
They're looking for the fight
Swords gleam in the light of moon
The Gods prepare to strike
Metal invaders
Ready to strike
A warning from hell
Be careful tonight
Metal invaders
The Gods on their ride
Sworn to bring metal
Mayhem tonight
(Tonight)
(Tonight)
Tried so hard to understand all of your feelings
Tried to cope with your inanities
Come to think about too many ways of healing
What we lost or maybe never had
One small step into the hidden decoy
One more word is help and one will destroy
I woke up in the midnight sun
So aware damage has been done
Agony or sanctuary
Only fate will show the way
From the bright of day into the jaw of darkness
One is shoved, a victim of a lie
Friendly face turns into a fiery grimace
Suddenly feelings learn to die
Used up sympathy no chance to return
To a world one knew but wounds that will burn
Spent more time in the midnight sun
Still aware of what else has gone
Agonized and hypnotized
When will I be shown the way
Fell asleep and no midnight sun
Still aware justice has bee done
No more doubts but disbelief
When the night was day
Celebration, miracle
In the shuffling madness
Of the locomotive breath
Runs the all time loser
Headlong to his death
And he feels the piston scrapin'
Steam breakin' on his brow
Old Charlie stole the handle
And the train, it won't stop goin'
No way to slow down, oh
He sees his children jumpin' off
At stations one by one
His woman and his best friend
In bed and havin' fun
And he's crawlin' down the corridor
On his hands and knees
Old Charlie stole that handle
And the train, it won't stop goin'
No way to slow down, oh
No way to slow down
He hears the silence howlin'
When he catches angels as they fall
And the all time winner
Has got him by the balls
And he picks up Gideon's Bible
And it's open at page one
I think God, he stole the handle
And the train, it won't stop goin'
No way to slow down, oh
No way to slow down, oh
No way to slow down, oh
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
Here is a mankind
so proud of achievement
There is a stone
That is warmer than you
Look how we stand
in the stream of illusuons
No one says a word
Here you live
And there you cry
All that makes you move
There's no tear for anything
Anything but you
Animals dying for our vanity
Our world is
A beautiful place to be free
Drinking the blood
Of the weak is so easy
No one hears them cry
Here you cheat
And there you lie
All that makes you gain
One day we will face His throne
There's nothin' we can say
Prosperity, luxury
Fast food is rising
It's the rainforest that dies
Here you live
And there you cry
All that makes you move
There's no tear for anything
Anything but you
Here you cheat
And there you lie
All that makes you gain
One day we will face His throne
There's nothin' we can say

You promise us all a bright golden future
You say you will save the world
That there will be no more hunger and pain
But we only see your golden hands
You say you take care of our survival
Sending us missiles instead
But you just betray us, deny us and lie
And you always say you would
Fight for freedom, fight for rights
I see treason in your eyes
Judas, rulin' with an iron hand
Judas, sittin' in the government
Judas, I am not a Jesus Christ
Judas, you will be the one who's crucified
Your worship money and economy
There's nothing that you wouldn't do
If the payment is right you don't care about life
'Cause economy is your truth
You are the one selling terror and pain
In all the parts of the world
You are preparing the final grand slam
But you keep on tellin' you'll
Fight for freedom, fight for rights
I see treason in your eyes
Judas, rulin' with an iron hand
Judas, sittin' in the government
Judas, I am not a Jesus Christ
Judas, you will be the one who's crucified
Judas, Judas, are you still human?
Judas, Judas, I can't believe it
Judas, Judas, dealing with evil
Judas, Judas, you keep on telling you'll
Fight for freedom, fight for rights
I see treason in your eyes
Judas, rulin' with an iron hand
Judas, sittin' in the government
Judas, I am not a Jesus Christ
Judas, you will be the one who's crucified

My little crazy cat
Took a train to meet his gang downtown, yeah
They played Black Jack
Fritz played his false game too far, ooh
A guy got up and started a gunfight
He¹s looking for trouble day by day
(For trouble, day by day)
Don¹t waste time, cute runaway
(You cute runaway)
He kept being taken by surprise
My straycat in town
Addicted to chicks
He¹s got a rental tree near the nudist beach, yeah
Oh, watch out !
Booze and ladies are his fate, ooh
Too much sex and food and Rock Rn¹ Roll
He¹s looking for trouble day by day
If your body's feeling bad
And it's the only one you have
You want to take away the pain
Go out walking in the rain
You watch the flowers go to bed
Ask the man inside your head
Your spirit never has to grieve
All you've got to do's believe
The faith healer, the faith healer!
All you've got to do is feel
Your body's going to start to heal
The fingertips of holy fire, everlasting sweet desire
It never mattered what the doctor said
The healer man will sail away
It's immortality for two, oh the miracles
They will come to you
From faith healer, the faith healer
Can I put my hands on you?
Can I put my hands on you?
Faith, and hope, and charity, the simple relativity
He can make you understand
All you've got to take his hand
Remember somebody said
Ask the man inside your head
The fingertips of holy fire, everlasting sweet desire
The faith healer, the faith healer!
Can I put my hands on you?
Can I put my hands on you?
Let me put my hands on you
Let me put my hands on you
Can I put my hands on you?
Can I put my hands on you?
Freedom this cry of all slaves will be heard
And the tyrants will feel the steal of the sword
The chains will be broken by all slaves on the earth
Forever to be free from their load
Time has run out for all you tyrants on earth
Your slaves are heedin' the call
Makin' an end to all this terror and pain
An end to your lies and your law
Takin' away all your gold and your money
'cause dead men don't need it anymore
Much too long we felt the slash of your whips
So now you will feel or swords
Freedom the eternal cry will echo high in the sky
The day will come when all power has been broken
Your blood will flow down to the gates of hell
Satan will wait for your souls
Pray to your god he won't help you he's dead
He won't fool our minds and our soul... anymore
Chorus - Freedom the cry of all slaves will be heard
The tyrants will now feel the steel of the sword
The chains will be broken by all slaves on earth
Chorus
Forever to be free from their load
Chorus
We can race over the mountains
Sail over the spheres
We can ride under the oceans
But we can't fight our fear
Something's wrong with the world these days
Do you know what it is?
We believe to govern nature
Find ways to lengthen our life
And we go through digital stages
Still the children cry
Something's wrong with the world these days
Do you know what it is?
The planet could be a better place
If we spot the miss
But I guess I would see a start
And I will sing it loud
Won't you put your feet back on the ground
We explore the existence of aliens
Try to conquer space
We refine nuclear science
Still to die in the haze
Something's wrong with the world these days
Do you know what it is?
The planet could be a better place
If we spot the miss
But I guess I would see a start
I warn you without doubt
Born into somewere unseen and unknown
Just like a worder so small and alone
Take me away into your innocent dreams
Maybe I'd see what it all means
A million to one
You will lose it all
A million to one you'll be falling
Down o where I am
An unholy man
A million to one you'll be falling
It's so sad and so true
but what can I do
Owly a few years then it's up to you
To care for yourself,
I hope I gave good advice
For all your life How to survive
A million to one
You will lose it all
A million to one you'll be falling
Down o where I am
An unholy man
A million to one you'll be falling
A million to one
You will lose it all
A million to one you'll be falling
Down o where I am
An unholy man
A million to one you'll be falling
Helloween "The Dark Ride"
All board step right this way
The dark ride is leaving soon
Just sign your name on the dotted line
All I want is just your soul
Tighten your belt and lets go
Standing in line to get to the fairground
Heading to the wicked side
One way ticket, there is no returning
Leave your soul at the gates
Out of doubt, no hope
Satan feeds our madness
Insanity confirms where we stand
Spit the red vile breath and
Wrath is our gift that
Leads direct to armageddon
Take a place - on the dark ride
Slowly creeping up - quickly coming down
Take a spin on the dark ride
May too far from the other side
Step inside and take this final journey
Your fantasies will come true
Inclination without liberation
Lifes carousel is catching you
Even through the darkest phase
Be it thick or thin
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Driven to our final fate
Jump out of this game
Take a place - on the dark ride
Slowly creeping up - quickly coming down
Take a spin on the dark ride
May too far from the other side
Is there any wonder?
Why we came about
Was it for love?
Or to let sin abound
Isn't it a wonder
Awake from blood thick dreams
Remove all the stones from our hearts
We must all believe
Ohhh, will we find a way to the other side
Heading for a light
Who is holding the key, why can't we see
The dark ride
I force the engine of your deadly sins
Even through the darkest phase
Be it thick or thin
I'm your pain when you can't feel
I know too well you'll follow me, you follow me down
Is there any wonder?
Why we came about
Was it for love?
Or to let sin abound
Isn't it a wonder
Awake from blood thick dreams
Remove all the stones from our hearts
What keeps on telling me to stay on the way I chose
What keeps on giving me all the strength to carry on
Give me some time, can't sleep anymore at night
I wanna show I'm here with an aim of mine
I feel strong, but someone is crying, I know
It's so hard to find a sign of a way to go
Don't need to stone my brain, I need my head for something else
I wanna live and learn, step by step I'm going on
Send me a sign, don't wanna resign too soon
What situation will come I can't endure
I feel strong, but someone is crying, I know
It's so hard to find a sign of a way to go
Send me a sign, don't wanna resign too soon
Helloween "Your Turn"
[Music & lyrics: M. Kiske]
Now there is this day, a lot of things are changing
Can't just kick it away, got to get things right
Sometimes it happens fast and nothin' seems to last
The thing that I once started isn't mine anymore
I guess now it's my turn
You've got a face like a child, got a mind like a woman
Your smile is warm and tender
I hear the people say that I should stay away
From you and all the problems you might bring
They'll never know--you
Nobody ever knows what to do
They'll never see you cry
They'll never know why
Now it's your turn to break free
When you want it all you've got to see
Now it's your turn to break free
When you want the life, you've got to see what it means
See the little boy holding mama's hand
His eyes can see the things we've long forgotten
The world is easy now--and somehow
He's right
Until there is this day when Mickey Mouse must go away
It's your turn to break free. . .
This world is crying to be free
This world is dying can't you see
We need a turn to do it right
We need a mind-revolution
To get away from this selfishness
Once there was a time when mankind
Dreamed about reaching the stars
Nowadays we're almost ready
Even for the wars
Some told lies and they were famous
Cause of making many wars
One told right, they punished him
With pain and crucify
What is right and what is wrong
Can I prevent, can I be strong
Quick enough to run away
Or brave enough for here to stay
Time will bring the answer
Will we feed the cancer
We don't give a damn at all
Some get shit and some get lobster
Take my ass into the sun
It takes some time to realize
We cannot eat a gun
The fat gets fatter, the poor stays poor
The money maker sells the skin
But you don't ask and you don't see
The world you're living in
Got my fears and got my doubts
Tell me what it's all about
Should I try a step
Or should I stay and wait another day
Time will bring the answer
Will we feed the cancer
We're living in a constant fight
Too much pressure everywhere
And all around
Don't let it put you down
Hold on tight
Climb to your dreams
Don't you depend on someone else
Think for yourself and win the race
The chance you got
Comes never twice
Do your best, and do it right
Time will come
But you don't hide
You are on your way
You're let by god
But you're not a pawn
Should live your life
Don't care 'bout any scorn
Try to be as smart as you can be
I know you own so much ability
The chance you got
Comes never twice
Do your best, and do it right
Time will come
But you don't hide
They're spending millions for your thrill
Collective desperate overkill
Wrapped up in harmless words that grin
Forbidden games you'll never win
The more you see the more you know
Intended media mind control
Shut down and see how beautiful life can be
This is the prime of your lifetime
You see through eyes of someone else
More than the half of your lifetime
Is just a tale in a storybook
Push, enforce your independence
Push your real intention
Face your unconscious addiction
Push your private fiction
Push
It's getting sicker frame by frame
You're always staring at the same
What is a lie, what is the truth?
Incredible disgusting news
The world is rough, the end is near
Just calculation with your fear
Without a shame nor least respect
The operators stand erect
This is the prime of your lifetime
You see through eyes of someone else
More than the half of your lifetime
Is just a tale in a storybook
Push, enforce your independence
Push your real intention
Face your unconscious addiction
Push your private fiction
Yeah, bring it on, all right
Sleep, sleep
Sleep, sleep
It don't get better if you're locked behind your door
It don't get better if you're hiding more and more
It may get better if you fight, it may get better if you'd
Wear a mask and scream on Halloween
Come alive, come alive
Rise and see, rise and be for me
Come alive, come alive
From the blue, make it true for you
Come alive
Sleep, sleep
It don't get better if you're acting for a while
It don't get better if you drown in self-denial
It don't get better without pain, it don't get better if you
Turn around and flee to ecstasy
Come alive, come alive
Rise and see, rise and be for me
Come alive, come alive
From the blue, make it true for you
Come alive
Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive
Rise and see, rise and be for me
Come alive, come alive
Rise and see, rise and be for me
Come alive, come alive
From the blue, make it true for you
Come alive, come alive
Rise and see, rise and be for me
Too late to call for the priest
He is not here anymore
We look at the age of the beast
and we've seen its vast armies forms
Hear our call
Please, save us
Please, save us
In permanent madness we live
no time for life and for love
To take is the rule, not to give
Insanity commes from below
To take us all
Please, save us
Please, save us
We belive that the phenomena of nature
Are the expression of infinite inteligence
we express our belief that all forms of life
are manifestations of spirit
Ans thus, all man are childrens of God
Far from down below and thus,
prepare to take us all
Waiting for his future
and a fighting call
We stand in the edge of the world
just one step more and we fall
Guide us and please take our hands
without you we will came alone
Please, save us
Please, save us. Now!
Save us! From the gods of thunder
Save us! From the gods of death
Save us! From the creapin'nightmare
Save us! From the evil storm
Save us! From all ignorance
Save us! From the Madam black
Save us! From the desolation
Save us! From the made attack
Oh, please save us now!
He said get out of here nobody wants you here
Yoy smashed his head and the man died
And there's a murmur loud
From the appearing crowd
Searching for motives and reasons why
Now take a look at yourself an you'll see
What you are in the eyes of the world
You didn't want it but now he is dead
And you're on the run from the law
Chorus - You're a murderer in every town
murderer to the whole world
murderer you're on the run
murderer you'll have to kill... again
And like an animal which escaped from the cage
They're hunting you over their holy land
Traps waiting everywhere you fall in deep despair
Darkness and night your only friends
One day the chase will be over for you
And you'll find your own peace in the end
Some day you will find a sanctuary
Death !... but so long my friend...
Chorus
Look for a safe place where no one will find you
And try to escpe from the law
Wherever you are there's a killer behind you
Wanting to get you for sure
To lose the fear that one day he will get out
Be faster and kill him and run
Now you don't have to fear him no more
But in his place another headhunter will come
... run away !!!
Kiske:
Well, japan. we've been there, I think, two times now, and it's always been
A great fun playing there. I like the venues. they are sounding very good,
They look very good, and kids over there really appreciate good music and
Stuff. and I think the next time we're gonna play at the budokan, which is
Pretty cool. lookin' forward to it. it's gonna be fun.
Schwichtenberg:
Japan has been always great to play there, and will be in the future. and
Japan people are great, it's fun to play there and you feel very confident
And convinient or whatever to play there. and japanese people are listening
Very carefully, I don't know. it's great to be in japan.
Kiske:
"kids of the century" is the first life sign of us after two and a half
Years. and after all those rumours going around about this band me
Leaving the band, me splitting up, or the band splitting up, and all that
Stuff, which has been quite a lot. maybe that's normal when the band's not
On the scene for a while.but after that it feels really good to have,
Actually, a new album ready and a single out. so the kids know we are still
There. and with the music you can prove what you can do still even without
One guy that just left the band. I think we found the right person there,
Roland. and I think the album says everything. yeah, I wrote "kids of the
Century" about more than two years ago now. and remembering that time i
Feel like, when I wrote that song, I was in that feel of that all the kids
Today, they just feel like they haven't got anything to do with the
Problems. everything goes wrong, the nature or whatever. just came out of
That feeling actually. and that's what the song's all about, I think. what
The kids today...because I feel like everybody's responsible, especially
The kids. if they don't feel like they have to change anything or have to
Make things better, nobody will.
Schwichtenberg:
I think having roland in the band is.. we are as lucky as we have michael
In the band by that time, we are lucky having roland in the band. and he's
Just doing great songs and great guitar work he's doing. and a good pal as
Well. he's a nice fellow. and he just fits in the band very much. I think
The fans will accept him of course.
Weikath:
Well, the nice thing about roland being in the band is that I saw him
Like, I don't know, fifteen years ago or so on stage, and I thought that
Was pretty impressing, what he did there, and I could never forget about
That. and that's why actually I called him up then when we needed another
Guitarist, "remember that guy? ". and so it took me, like, four hours to
Find out the number, like I had to phone up musicians I knew and suddenly
Somehow I got the number, and phoned him up: "you might not know me, but i
Know you. how about playing guitar in helloween? " and he didn't even know
The band. so I had to give him some examples of our songs, like really
Loud, cranked it up. and so, well, he was interested, like it quite a lot.
And then we went to rehearsing, we had to do the whole stuff within two
Months. 'cause then we had to go on an american tour and japan meant two
Hours of playing. and well, ha ha, quite a tough job I would say. after
All, I mean, we can handle that, we are pretty good, you know. and i'm
Sorry about that, but well... yeah, roland is a very nice guy. he's
Doing a big part of the band with his character, and his kind of being.
And it's quite a difference too how the whole thing worked before, because
He is a completely different character. he is a lot more calm and very
Critical. he's always got his own opinion and that's exactly what we need.
Kiske:
Yeah, we recorded the album at puk studio in denmark, which is a very good
Studio, I think, very lovely place. it's right in the middle of nowhere
But that's actually what we wanted, to really concentrate on the album.
And working with chris was pretty cool, because he's got a very strong
Sense of humor as we like it. and we had some cool moments there and
That's all caught on the album. yeah, the production that chris
Tsangarides has done is right in your face. that's the best description
Of the sound actually. so just check it out!
Schwichtenberg:
Crystal clear, or...
Kiske:
Crystal tsangarides clear, ha ha!
Weikath:
I would say thank you to everybody who kept up the faith during all that
Time, and after all, those rumours are untrue.
Schwichtenberg:
The best thing for the fans, for the people who like us, is just to listen
What comes from us directly, like this now, and the album of course.
Kiske:
Yeah, especially the album.
Schwichtenberg:
Don't trust any rumours or whatever.
Kiske:
The thing is, forget about what's been in the magazines, or what has been
Said, or all the stuff. and just check out the album and you know what's
Going on. of course, the single as well.
Schwichtenberg:
You?re reaching out in the dead of night
Searching for my hand
Your know, I?m there in the waste of shadows
I?m your pain and friend
I hear your silent cries
I?m the shade in the shadow
I know your secret lies
I?m the shade in the shadow
I ban the light and I leave you blind
If you try your eyes
I am enemy or a trustee fellow
In your wailin' mind
I hear your silent cries
I?m the shade in the shadow
I know your secret lies
I?m the shade in the shadow
The shade in the shadows of you
There I cry for you in the shadows
As I always do in the shadows
You may outs me there in the shadows
But I?m always there in the shadows, in the shadows
I hear your silent cries
I?m the shade in the shadow
I know your secret lies
I?m the shade in the shadow
I hide behind your shame
I?m the shade in the shadow
Cryin' out loud your name
I?m the shade in the shadow
There I cry for you in the shadows
As I always do in the shadows, in the shadows
