Don't trust anyone!
Unless you know them better than you know your fucking self!
In case that you do they'll
BETRAY
ANNOY
HUMILIATE
And eventually DESTROY YOU!
Trust but yourself, your power and beliefs.
Walk your own way, don't let them lead you astray.
Your inner strength will guide you to reach your goals.
While the others just want to hinder you.
DAMN MISERABLE FOOLS
If you let them too close they'll tear you apart.
They sell your life and soul for their own disgusting pleasure.
Do never rely on someone else serpent-tongued words.
Just like Iscariot they'll lie straight to your face!
Don't let them get you! - Don't listen to their croon!
It's all just lies under a deadly greyish moon.
Trust is for fools who don't own the will to survive.
Ignore their cajoling speeches! - Walk your path and be alive!
It's all just lies under a deadly greyish moon.
Ignore their cajoling speeches! - Work your path and be alive!
Lying in misery's arms, embraced by coldness.
Lethargy fills my mind, stiffened lying there.
The night covers my body like a fog covers a moor.
Nobody is here to see my final suffering.
Wishing to spread my wings and glide away into the black sky.
Passing stars and galaxies, never seen and never known.
Wish to be the wind blowing through the universe, icy and endless.
To be the star you've always adored.
Always adored!
To be the moon shining in every gloomy and frozen night.
To be the forest standing in the dark full of silence and grief.
To be a mountain covered with bloody snow on the top.
To be someone else than me.
But these chimeras can never become reality.
So I'm still lying in misery´s talonlike arms.
Suffocating my lungs, struggling with my life.
Death is near and I'm waiting for him to come!
Years have passed away - still his soul's condemned.
Haunted by remembrance ever till the end.
Blood on his hands
He can't wash away.
Marching through the fields of death.
Blood is dripping down onto the ground.
Kill to live and live to kill.
Slaves of war - slaves of theirselves.
Scenes of battle, caught in torture,
Death and terror ruled the land.
Orders led their way - no return.
Most of them they went there last,
But how to die when life has just begun?
Play fate's game to live,
Or stay on Fields of Aeveron.
He looks right into his eyes, looks beyond his self-disguise.
Closes his eyes but he can't hide the tears.
Blood on his hands
He can't wash away.
Marching through the fields of death.
Blood is dripping down onto the ground.
Kill to live and live to kill.
Slaves of war - slaves of theirselves.
And the sand rans way too fast,
Way too fast out of my hands.
Tell me! Is it worth winning a
"But see, amid the mimic rout
A crawling shape intrude!
A blood-red thing that writhes from out
The scenic solitude!
It writhes! – It writhes! – with mortal pangs
The mimes become it's food,
And seraphs sob at vermin fangs
In human gore imbued.
Out – out are the lights – out all!
And, over each quivering form,
The curtain, a funeral pall,
Comes down with the rush of a storm,
While the angels all pallid and wan,
Uprising, unveiling, affirm
That the play is the tragedy "Man,"
And it's hero the Conqueror Worm." *
Time and space run through my astral veins.
Stars obey my orders.
Planets circulate me in neverending concentric rings.
I am the center of the universe.
For too long fear was buried in their heads as a gloomy shadow.
The will to live was eradicated deep inside.
They had already forgotten to rise against injustice.
And so his words sounded like in ancient times.
Dying on your feet, instead of living on your knees,
to unite yourselves into one joint power.
He roused the fire inside their minds, the fire to fight.
For themselves, for freedom and a better world.
Follow me folks! We will unite our forces.
Follow your hearts and reach out to the stars.
Altogether in one strong allegiance.
Side by side – our rebirth of hope
Fear that you felt – leave it all far behind
No one will ever lead us astray.
There we stand with power and believe.
Whatever we want we can achieve.
For years they were enslaved, forced to serve and to remain fucking silent.
They were taken everything they once created.
Agonized, banned and damned to obey,
never to own a life of freedom in this world.
Running into the storm to end the suffering.
Destiny will guide you.
Trust in you and recall hope and fire
that have fallen into oblivion.
FALLEN INTO OBLIVION!!!
Dancing through the silent waves
The shimmering moonlight
Over lost angels remains
Whispering through gloomy halls
Beneath the gentle soft caress
Of dreaming shadows
Flowing steams of silver
Through tidal torrents of grief
Time was never there for us
The final tide took the last ones away
Buried visions - of sunrise
Beneath the seas - of torrid soil
Slowly sinking - in the mire
Shades of - emerald fields
Our eyes can't stand the flames
Single sparkles hiding in our palms
They linger before dying away
Fading from out sigh
Loathsome are the ways of those
Who the meadows shall receive
For every glimpse of daylight must vanish
Deep down in the gorges of oblivion there lurks an outcast
Filled with rancour and hatred
Against the world above,
Reigned by a BEAST!
Your race is slowly croaking, no use to defy!
I'm yearning for the day you painfully will die!
Kneel before me, the Misanthrope!
Your fate is sealed, there is no hope!
This demon may be known to you as Homo sapiens.
Ironically there's not the slightest connection between sapience
And the primal stupidity of the accused.
Kneel before me, the Misanthrope!
Your fate is sealed, there is no hope!
Inhumane avarice leads to the exploitation of his environment.
Arrogance everlastingly combined with horrendous acts of violence.
Insane mind breeds self-destruction.
The worst enemy is his own species.
Incapable of emotions, striding towards the inevitable.
"Superior" mind overcome by a parasitic and destructive madness.
Egomanic territory claims, nature literally consumed.
Eternal striving for world domination.
The Embodiment Of All Misery!
Surrounded by quietness and silence,
You look into the face of that creature which once gave delight.
It seems to you unreal and slowly blurring inside the mirror of life.
You spoke and wanted to be silent.
You loved but deceived yourself.
Caught in a thousand illusions, your escape was plainer than facing reality.
Your face disintegrates in the glaring fire truth casts on you.
Your own picture is impressed with doubts.
The faith in yourself resembles a battle that seems lost.
You destroyed what arose over years.
You sold your soul, your heart, your reason.
What once filled you with unspeakable pride, you did forsake.
Out of deepest night
That covered you,
Days of perception have broken.
Your mask has fallen
Down to dust,
Your secrets have been spoken.
Fearlessly forward!
Open your eyes!
Don´t seek excuses!
Do not deny yourself!
Straight forward!
Nothing to lose,
Never pretend!
A look in the dark - nothing - and yet everything, a shadow-world full of veiled silhouettes,
The nightfall swallows my silent cry.
Within my heart there's a weak rearing
That rages on and on.
I can't resist my own reflections.
Confusion is reigning my mind.
My eyes are open - my mind's closed tight.
The skies will darken.
I raise my arms into the night.
I'm longing for cathartic rain
To wash away this anguish and pain.
The water will fall on me
Out of clouds above my misery.
I'm flying cross sphere's through time and space
To drift in the magic of delusion.
Look at me! What do you see?
You're watching the void - only my body is here.
Try to speak but there are no words.
Confusion is reigning my mind.
My eyes are open - my mind' closed tight.
The skies will darken.
I raise my arms into the night
Into the night!
Walked the way that was indicated.
Fortune often lies ahead.
But I felt to lose before
The fight had just
Begun!
Thunder and Lightning are roaring around.
The sky turns black and the night's falling down.
We're looking up to the brightly shining stars.
They're guiding are ways throughout all the wars.
Throughout all the wars!
Above foreign lands and above the wide seas
Now deep darkness reigns and the daylight it flees.
From East from West and from North to the South
You can see us coming uniting the crowds.
We are uniting the crowds!
Here we are together, side by side forever.
All for one like brothers, no one stands alone!
Join our forces, keep the fire burning!
Bound deep in our hearts and bound for victory!
Thousands of miles we have crossed the lands
To welcome our mates, now to raise up your hands.
There is no fear and there is no doubt.
Our hearts filled with power and glorious pride.
Pride!
When aims in your life seem so far away
Your inner voice will lead your way.
The dreams that we have are about to come true.
Your brothers will be there.
They are calling for you!
Your brothers are calling for you!
We are bound for victory!
We're on our path, there ain't no return.
Life's full of secrets, got our lessons to learn.
Join our forces, keep the fire burning.
A black stripe at the horizon like a thunderstorm.
Slowly but unstoppable it approaches, the army of darkness.
Fear spreads across the faces, they call them the lawless.
The henchmen of evil, the henchmen of evil.
The hoof-beats resound down the hill
as the riders invade into the village.
They murder and plunder and set the huts on fire.
The people run for cover, without a chance of resistance.
Never before he was ever seen.
No one knows just where he came from.
It is unknown where his path will lead him.
That’s why they call him the STRANGER.
Never before he was ever seen.
No one knows just where he came from.
He seems both enigma and secret.
That’s why they call him the STRANGER.
After a few moments the battle is done.
And as fast as they had appeared the forest takes up the warriors into its profound thicket.
It is those woods from which one day a rider will reveal merely known as the STRANGER.
Majestically he thrones in his saddle.
The iron of his sword flashes in the sunlight.
High above on his proud horse he seems to see the world with different eyes.
Never before he was ever seen.
No one knows just where he came from.
It is unknown where his path will lead him.
That’s why they call him the STRANGER.
Never before he was ever seen.
No one knows just where he came from.
He seems both enigma and secret.
You have broken my very confidence.
Now I'm cast out, depraved, a hallow shell.
You have raped my innocence and thus
Turned my life into a living hell.
You have raped my innocence and thus
Turned my life into a living hell.
You have infiltrated my mind,
Polluted it with your shameless kind.
You have had me obey your rules
And made me fell like the weakest of fools.
Deep down inside I feel the urge to scream.
Revenge is boiling in my veins.
Every fiber in my body is illuminated with a deadly gleam.
I yearn for retaliation of the unbearable pains.
What shall I do with my anger? ANGER!
Where is your weak point?
Is there a way to hurt you usefully?
Is homicide the only possible solution?
You can't imagine how truly I despise your ways.
I think it's time ti turn the tables on you.
I will no longer crawl under the yoke of the olden days
But instead destroy all things you held so true.
You held so fucking true!
All these pain-ridden years I've been pondering,
Torturing my mind to find a suitable punishment.
Still I don't know the answer, I'm wondering
If for you death would be the ultimate end.
Ultimate End!
Gracefully looking up to your idols,
You get fulfillment in emulating them.
Their seeming philosophy of life
More and more becomes a part of you.
Decadent behaviour and hypocritical laughter,
In their eyes the greed for fame;
Sooner or later you´ll recognize
That this truth is full of lies.
Free your consciousness and breathe the scent of truth.
It is time to strengthen your individuality.
Look around and tell me what do you see!
Truth and illusion - it's construality.
I'm struggling to find the right words,
Words you hear and understand.
Ignorance and foolish prejudices
Are blinding the peoples' reason.
But I will scream until you listen,
Enslaving your thoughts from apathy.
There's no obstacle, there's no border,
No excuse that could stop me.
I'm searching for answers still unfound.
Words and lies keep circling around.
Don't try to understand – just live your way.
The day is facing it's end and the night rises from the foggy valleys.
The wind rushes through the tops of the swaying trees
To lose itself in the vastness of the eternal horizon.
But in this night, everything that so far just happened in his dreams,
Becomes real.
The sparse light of a candle illuminates the chamber and like every night
He is deeply absorbed in his volumes of forgotten lore to dive into other worlds.
Together with his heroes he sails the seven seas, climbs the highest mountains
On the search for infinite glory.
Clouds give way to his path - the path only he is able to walk.
If you take a look at the stars, then trust your eyes 'cause you will see him.
He's the one who walks the nocturnal skies.
Led by an invisible hand he runs out into the nocturnal world.
Step by step his feet carry him without knowing any destination.
The moon throws bizarre shadows onto earth
And a lonely hawk glides above his head.
How much he wishes to stare at the world from above.
Before having ended this thought he suddenly rises towards the skies.
The voyage leads him over the sleeping town,
Passing streets, towers and houses.
The scant light of the lanterns draws blurred pictures onto the plaster.
Weightlessly gliding through time and space.
Never before he felt surrounded by such deep safety and freedom.
He does not look back and walks further and further into infinity.
But in this night, everything that so far just happened in his dreams,
Don't trust anyone!
Unless you know them better than you know your fucking self!
In case that you do they'll
BETRAY
ANNOY
HUMILIATE
And eventually DESTROY YOU!
Trust but yourself, your power and beliefs.
Walk your own way, don't let them lead you astray.
Your inner strength will guide you to reach your goals.
While the others just want to hinder you.

Slumbering in the silence that gave birth to me,
I lay there contemplating the hidden secrets of life.
The weakness that for so many years made my life to a living hell
Had at length defeated my very will to continue an existence I despised right from the start.
No god there to save me; was there ever one?
Reflecting on this I slowly raised my head from the pillow I had rested on.
Shadows danced on the walls, laughing at me with their hellish grins.
My weary eyes followed their grotesque movements across the grey ceiling.
Desperation pervaded the dusk-filled room.
An air of depravity joined the gloom that surrounded my cadaver-like body.
It must have been a wondrous sight for you to behold my emaciated frame in
The grief-stricken chamber that witnessed the unholy hour of my birth.
It must have been a wondrous sight for you to behold my emaciated frame in
The grief-stricken chamber that witnessed the unholy hour of my birth.
There I lay in the depressing and pale grey.
At this instant my soul was grasped by despair.
A sense or aim in this life I could no longer see.
Would a bullet in the head forever set me free?
No god there to save me; was there ever one!
A sense or aim in this life I could no longer see.
The day is facing it's end and the night rises from the foggy valleys.
The wind rushes through the tops of the swaying trees
To lose itself in the vastness of the eternal horizon.
But in this night, everything that so far just happened in his dreams,

The sparse light of a candle illuminates the chamber and like every night
He is deeply absorbed in his volumes of forgotten lore to dive into other worlds.

Weightlessly gliding through time and space.
Never before he felt surrounded by such deep safety and freedom.
He does not look back and walks further and further into infinity.
But in this night, everything that so far just happened in his dreams,
Puzzled and confused about this mistery called life.
Can you tell me why all this is happening?
Everything around us is building up.
Just to collapse in half the time it was constructed.
I'm afraid to be swallowed by the sands of time.
Anxious to be a small part of a fading world.
Can you show me the direction I have to go?
All the things surrounding us are but vain constructions.
The question I'm pondering about is quickly asked:
"Why are we here?"- It may sound ridiculous to you.
But it is of concern to me. I want to know my place,
My place in this game, in this jigsaw called existence.
In this jigsaw called existence!
One solid piece of truth I've already found for me.
DEATH is undeniable and a fact you won't be able to escape.
Drown in the blood you've spilled!
I will hold my head up high until the end arrives.
Your vanity is the free-card to your gruesome end.
Ineffable are the demons that will tear your soul apart.
Turn to your fate that will drown you eternally.
Your reign is at an end. You're finished here!
Turn to your fate that will drown you eternally.
Your reign is at an end. You're finished here!
Clouds of smoke are rising up to the skies.
They extinguish their fires and stride along into the night.
For the time has come to face injustice.
Side by side, with swords ready to fight.
And the nightly gale is blowing in their faces.
Beyond the valley the enemy is slumbering in deceptive security,
not able to foresee what is going to happen in this night.
The stranger leads the troops towards the evil castle
and their courage is stronger than any solid masonry.
Side by side, with swords ready to fight.
A signal tears the veil of dawn.
A horn is blown – the battle begins.
There’s no escape, no turning back.
With a wild resoluteness they attack the castle.
The sleeping adversary is befallen with the voracity of a hellish tempest.
Swords are clinging and arrows cut through the thick fog.
They are storming onward, staring forward, never turning back,
with strained expressions and a gloomy look.
They have sworn: victory or death!
They are fighting the battle for freedom.
They are fighting the battle for honour.
They are fighting the battle of their lives.
They are fighting the BATTLE OF RETALIATION!
The draw bridge falls down as they attack the gate.
The first defence lines are overrun.
The enemy is rearing – a thunderous fight starts.
Casualties occur on both sides but the end is coming closer.
Eventually, the enemy is lying on the ground.
A last rearing and then it is accomplished.
The enemy is defeated, the battle is over.
Exhausted but satisfied, for now they are free,
they raise their flags and deep into the night
their chants can be heard,
For aeons the "worms" have been pursuing but one target: imortality.
But this phantasm, thanks to thee, fulfilled never ever shall be.
Praised thou shalt be
O' precious mortality!
Cleansing the earth
From the weaklings of the wormian race.
Through death, thy employer, thou weakest havor among the "worms".
Every single one is reaped by this sharpened scythe.
I can hear the "worms' " death knell resounding in my mind.
Land of the Unknown
Long ago in a forgotten time was a land so great with just stories left
That have been told through generations
People lived since many years together in peace in their paradise
And they thought it would last forever
Please take my hand and I’ll show you the way
To the land of the unknown
Don’t be afraid, I am only here to lead you the way
Then a day the men in black took control over peoples minds
A new belief they were forced upon
Since that day nothing remained, their lives have changed in every way
Like a desease, fear is spread across the land
Please take my hand and I’ll show you the way
To the land of the unknown
Don’t be afraid, I am only here to lead you the way
Nobody knows where everything took place
The legends are alive and keep reminding us
The quest will go on until my dying days
An Echo From Beyond
In many years I’ve had my share
But now it seems nobody cares
When all I wanted was some peace
Now everything is out of reach
Don’t let my dreams get hold of me
I can hear an echo from beyond
Don’t let family forget me, and who I was
Feels hard to know all trust is gone
When I think back of all we’ve done
Why can’t I tell you how I feel
This state I’m in can’t be hard to see
Don’t let my dreams get hold of me
I can hear an echo from beyond
Don’t let family forget me, and who I was
Who I’ve become
Don’t let my dreams get hold of me
Scream out in Anger
How can this be happening to me
I am standing here alone
What is this I see
I am watching everything fall apart
This must be wrong, a silent place on this earth
I've spent much time where the dead have marked the path
If this timeless greed will be our death
This can't go on
Who can tell where we are heading
In this world that we have built
I see people dying
I can hear their tormented cries
This must be wrong, a silent place on this earth
I’ve spent much time where the dead have marked the path
If this timeless greed will be our death
This can’t go on
This must be wrong, a silent place on this earth
I've spent much time where the dead have marked the path
If this timeless greed will be our death
Plain
Afraid to speak out my mind
But I want everyone to believe
That I can stand up and fight
For something that needs to be seen
Breaking my soul, I’m falling apart
Feeling the cold, I know what it means to be alive
Release me once again from this pain
I feel I can never reveal
The thoughts that went round in my head
Alone and abandoned again
I don’t know how much I can bear
Breaking my soul, I’m falling apart
Feeling the cold, I know what it means to be alive
Release me once again from this pain
The sun will shine in my back
As I’m walking into the dark
My fear for being alive
Will lead me to meet with the dead
Breaking my soul, I’m falling apart
Feeling the cold, I know what it means to be alive
Searching for Euphoria
See these prehistoric eyes watching over you
What are you trying to achieve whith you life
Holy men may walk the path of their redeemer
Their insanity will lead you to your death
All your life, telling all these lies
Making all the fools believe in you
A time will come when all of you are gone
Praying to the one you fear
Nothing good will come out of this, but why should you care
You’re trusting noone else and noone’s trusting you
Who will miss you when you’re gone, you are all alone
Heaven won’t listen to your prayers anymore
All your life, telling all these lies
Making all the fools believe in you
A time will come when all of you are gone
Praying to the one you fear
All your life, telling all these lies
Making all the fools believe in you
A time will come when all of you are gone
Into Eternity
Swords in the air, blood on the fields, a fight for life
Down in the alley scream’s getting higher, I see their fate
I see the vision of a time that’s forever lost
From the centuries of fear into eternity
Soldier in pain screaming my name, a call of evil
Armies are marching, cities are falling, nothing’s left
I see the vision of a time that’s forever lost
From the centuries of fear into eternity
Lives on their minds, blood on their hands, all those who died
Mothers are crying, over their children, so much grief
I see the vision of a time that’s forever lost
The Journey
When I watch myself I wonder what went wrong
I said it all before but nothing ever changes no more
I wish to be alone where noone know my name
Some say that hope makes them keep on living
I don’t want to be the same as I was before
At the end of this journey in my life
Time has gone too fast, I haven’t found a way
Searching frequently, but everything seems to fade
I’m at a turning point, the end of this road
I have never cared what people say that I should do
I don’t want to be afraid anymore
How could it be this way I’m feeling now
I don’t want to be the same as I was before
At the end of this journey in my life
I’m still out here by myself, finding my own way back
To the place I thought was home
I still see the sickness of it all, the burned faces
The mutilated children, I couldn’t do a thing
If someone can hear this, don’t call for help
It is already for too late
I don’t want to be afraid anymore
How could it be this way I’m feeling now
I don’t want to be the same as I was before
At the end of this journey in my life
I don’t want to be afraid anymore
How could it be this way I’m feeling now
I don’t want to be the same as I was before
Leave Me Alone
Can you hear the voices, or is it just in my head
Can’t anyone believe me, I refuse to go insane
Leave me alone, set me free
An I insane, please let this end
Why is this happening me, what sins have I done
How much more can I take, where’s the silence I need
Leave me alone, set me free
An I insane, please let this end
Leave me alone, set me free
The Last Day
The rain is pouring down as he walks down the path
To be punished for his sins, to get a rope around his neck
The gallow stood there smiling as the crowd were gathered
A sudden silence swept over the crowd as he was led to meet his fate
He knows this breath could be his last one
And he is sure that this is his last day
His last day
No more late and sinful nights, that belongs, to his past
He can’t change what he has done, but he can beg for forgiveness
The crowd was shouting in excitement, they wait for him to hang
He could feel the air below and his darkness was complete
He knows this breath could be his last one
And he is sure that this is his last day
His last day
He knows this breath could be his last one
And he is sure that this is his last day
Fading Away
I see the sun going down, I’m fading away
No longer days I’m counting now, hours is what I have left
I’ve been waiting for so long, I’m ready to go
Can’t you see I’ve done my things, done my things
I’ve had a wonderful life, I can’t complain
I’m lying down in solitude, cause I’m the next
I wait for the arrival, a knocking on my door
The reaper will enter my home and take me away
And take me away
Is there a heaven to welcome me, so curious for what’s beyond
All these questions I’ll soon find out, I’m closing my eyes to go
If this is dying I’m not afraid, I wish I could explain
I hear him knocking, please come in, please come in
I’ve had a wonderful life, I can’t complain
I’m lying down in solitude, cause I’m the next
I wait for the arrival, a knocking on my door
The reaper will enter my home and take me away
And take me away
I’ve had a wonderful life, I can’t complain
I’m lying down in solitude, cause I’m the next
I wait for the arrival, a knocking on my door
The reaper will enter my home and take me away
At the Bridge of Life
I see the man I was before inside the pieces of my mirror
I feel the need for something more than just being alive
Under the sun I stand alone
At the bridge of life
I wonder how far I can go
I can’t sleep, I can’t fell, I don’t know
I’m just a shadow of the past, with all the good times behind me
Being a pale and wornout man, it’s a struggle to the end
Under the sun I stand alone
At the bridge of life
I wonder how far I can go
I can’t sleep, I can’t fell, I don’t know
Across the bridge I’ll find the truth, and I have waited a long, long time
There is no reason in living anymore, I hear the pounding of the bells
Under the sun I stand alone
At the bridge of life
I wonder how far I can go
My face is covered with blood
There's nothing but pain
oitsumerareta keraku ni
I can't tell where I'm going to
I'm running, all confused
shinimono-gurui de
Then I see you standing there
Can do nothing but run away
oikakete kuru genkaku ni
Look out ! I'm raving mad
you can't stop my sadness
kirikizanda yume wa kyouki ni nagareru
(I'll slice my face covered with blue blood)
(Give me some more pain)
(Give me the throes of death)
namida ni tokeru aoi chi o yokubou ni kaete
umarekawatta sugata o yosootte mite mo
kodoku ni obieru kokoro wa ima mo
sugisatta yume o motome-samayou
higeki ni odoru kanashimi o maboroshi ni kaete
sameta sugata no butai o enjite mite mo
hitomi ni afureru kyozou wa ima mo
nugisuteta ai o azayaka ni utsusu
(Give me some more pain)
(Give me the throes of death)
wasurerarenai kanashimi o maboroshi ni kaete
umarekawatta sugata o yosootte mite mo
aoi namida wa higeki ni odoru kodoku no
Maybe i’ll wish your heart
And we’ll stay together
Maybe i’ll wish your hate
Your pain…never!
I will be here waiting for you
The turn will come to me now
Now!
You will come now…
Start now your kingdom
Start now your fear
You’re under power
You, come here
You are lost in the night
When the moon appears
Desperation
You have bodyache!
Your madness is fool
Look around you the fear is strong
Scream, run, hide
Anyway, you will come
I look in your eyes
The fear in your heart, your heart!
Your mind is blind
Your nec is taut
Your loneliness follows you
Your thoughts are black
You’ll maybe run
When you know
The destiny of your soul
You could smell
Rotten flesh
And you’ll feel hate and fear
But now you are confused
Your end comes close
The darkness in your head
Find your root
Now you think
Across the oceans
You, do it now!
Brake your head
And your dreams are scary
The screams of mirrors and the time
The priest is speaking
And the evil is tempting
Though weeds, you are running!
Look at your front, or you’ll go down
Come to me, it’s an order
Just another Monday morning
I'm pushing my way through the traffic jam
Nothing really seems to move
I'm trying to get ahead the best I can
I start thinking about my life
And about what let me get this far
Is a tiny little wheel inside a big machine
Really all we are
Not today
This day is mine
Everything's just perfect
I can feel the whole world's gently swinging my way
After all
That I've been through
All that lies behind me
It feels like there's a whole new life and it's just begun
I get right out of my car
I feel that I've got better things to do
Can't see yet what that might be
But it's a fact a change was overdue
I know it is not always wise
To simply run away
But I don't mind the consequences
At least not today
This day is mine
Everything's just perfect
I can feel the whole world's gently swinging my way
After all
That I've been through
All that lies behind me
It feels like there's a whole new life and it's just begun
Ask yourself if you really are
The one you want to be
Look around and say if you see
What you wish there would be
Every now and then our balance slips away
Every now and then what we get isn't worth the price we pay
I'm tired of trying to meet
Someone else's expectations
For the price of missing my own
That just gave me frustration
That chase for money
Was a plan that surely had to fail
So my decision's clear, from this day on I am
Not for sale
This day is mine
Everything's just perfect
I can feel the whole world's gently swinging my way
After all
That I've been through
All that lies behind me
Here in this night
In the darkest of hours
I feel a cold wind that tells
Of a storm front drawing near
It speaks of greed and of hunger
Of envy and dread
Tells of the anger and hate
That arose from the fear
Who said life's easy
Who said life's fair
Who said good luck will be with those who dare
To follow their heart, and not follow their fear
And if the good all die young
Then who are all those still here
Take a look around you
See what you've got
You just see what you don't have
And of that you still have a lot
The sky is the limit
The sky's not enough
The tough keep going
Not only when the going gets rough
It seems we all
Don't worry much
About what is happening
Left and right of us
But even if I try my hardest
Not to care
One question remains
And I'd like to hear your answer
Acting on target
At robotic speed
Recklessly feeding
Your robotic needs
No minute wasted
Emotions refused
Your brain's exploited
Your heart remains unused
It seems we all...
Name your price
How much is it to buy your loyalty
I'll do so, if I can afford
Name your price
How much do you charge to show remorse
To throw your indifference overboard
Won't you once
Think just a little while about
What you will leave behind
When you decease
Won't you once
Just once be good for something
Good for someone
Good for yourself at least
Here in this night
In the darkest of hours
I feel a cold wind that tells
Of a storm front drawing near
It speaks of greed and of hunger
Of envy and dread
Tells of the anger and hate
That arose from the fear
Who said life's easy
And who said life's fair
Who said good luck will be with those who dare
To follow their heart not their fear
And if it's hope that dies last
Why do all us hopeless still live
Brother kills sister
Father kills son
Religion kills reason
Reason becomes undone
The end always
Justifies the means
Just running a program
Rooted deeply in our genes
It seems we all...
Name your price...
I have no faith
In a God above
But if I had
Then this would be my prayer:
Oh Seven Seas
Raise all your waves
I don't love you, and you don't love me
But with no one else right now I'd rather be
For since the day when we first met it seems that
When it rains I only get half as wet
We don't meet much we rather talk on the phone
But you make me feel only half as alone
You're not the girl of my dreams, though I may dream of you
Don't really know what it is, but this much is true:
You're a shade of grey when my world turns blue
In a world of lies you are at least half way true
You don't love me, well, but you kind of like me instead
That's good enough to make me feel only half as bad
Of all second choices you'd be my first
Of all those bad solutions you are not the worst
Amongst these ugly faces yours looks kind of cute
And you have a way to lighten my mood
We haven't got much in common, but that's one thing we share
And we won't call it love when it's just an affair
So while we are both waiting for the right one to come
We may as well wait together until we find the one
You're a shade of grey...
Caught in ambitions, but without any idea
Focused on expectations, but driven be fear
With irrational movements of no rhythm or rhyme
We are performing a most absurd play
All those actors are crazy
The director is on drugs
But I found it's the much better way
To look into the sun
And leave my shadow behind
Set sail for the open sea
So whatever may come
Or whatever may go
In the end it's all fine with me...
...I really don? t care
I'm arriving on schedule, only I don't know where
With your purse full of money, but nothing to spend it on
Too busy to get anything done
Always in a hurry, and still always too late
Your battle just cannot be won, you better look
Into the sun
And leave your shadow behind
Set sail for the open sea
So whatever may come
Or whatever may go
In the end it's all fine with me...
That journey we're on does not follow our ideas and plans
We're clutching at deadlines and schedules that never make sense
How stupid those things upon which we all seem to depend
Why don't you realise
There are things that are so clear
And pretend that everything is alright
While you try to make believe
That there ain't nothing wrong
You can't count your sleepless nights
What can you say at the point of no return
No use to ask for right or wrong
What will you say when the fire stops to burn
And there's no place left where you belong
We won't be happy
With all the things we have
If we can't stop thinking of the cost
We won't be happy
With all our friends we have
Filled up with fear
That they might once get lost
What can you say at the point of no return
No use to ask for right or wrong
What will you say when the fire stops to burn
And there's no place left where you belong
Go face the world
Take things just the way they are
Face the world
Let honesty be our guiding star
We face the world
There ain't no use to lie to yourself
Face the world always eye to eye
When the world is facing you
You can say it gets better
When it won't
You can say age makes you wiser
But it don't
You can plead, you can preach
You can knock on wood until your fingers bleed
But you will not change a fact ...
Go face the world
Take things just the way they are
Face the world
Let honesty be our guiding star
We face the world
There ain't no use to lie to yourself
Face the world always eye to eye
When the world is facing you
What can you say at the point of no return
No use to ask for right or wrong
What will you say when the fire stops to burn
And there's no place left where you belong
Go face the world
Take things just the way they are
Face the world
Let honesty be our guiding star
We face the world
There ain't no use to lie to yourself
Face the world always eye to eye
There's a willing crowd
In a distant land
Clinging to the words of their leader
There's a censored press
Printing propaganda
Disguised as the truth for the reader
For food or religion
For land or for pride
For traditions or just for the glory
The page is turned
For another chapter
Of the same old story
Again we see how they are marching on
To the beat of the same old drum
Don't they know this mad story has
No happy ending
So far, so good
Here we are
The clean slate is showing a red stain
So far, so good
Here we are
And hope that we're not missing the last train
But as life makes no deal
We can't turn back the wheel
And the last train leaves right on time
All of them have their own reasons
All of them have their own fears
All of them pray to some God
To make it turn out right
All of them leave their own families
And think it's worth the price
Because everyone thinks it's him
Who's fighting the good fight
So here they are in the same old church
There's a priest who's blessing arms one more time
They say their prayers to a wooden cross
But who will listen
So far, so good
Here we are
The clean slate is showing a red stain
So far, so good
Here we are
And hope that we're not missing the last train
But as life makes no deal
We can't turn back the wheel
And the last train leaves right on time
Again we see how they are marching on
To the beat of the same old drum
Don't they know this mad story has
No happy ending
So far, so good
Here we are
The clean slate is showing a red stain
So far, so good
Here we are
And hope that we're not missing the last train
But as life makes no deal
We can't turn back the wheel
It feels like time is running backwards
Somehow it don't want to pass by
But I get so nervous and afraid of what is to come
And I just cannot tell you why
I can hear all the words you say
But I don't understand
Should I have looked at your smiling face
When I looked at your shivering hands
It is a game of hope and glory
It is a game of shame and pride
It is a never ending story
And it never turns out right
So don't ask me, if you need good advice
Maybe I could find some friendly words
But my heart is cold as ice
I can hear all the words you say
But I don't understand
Should I have looked at your smiling face
When I looked at your shivering hands
It is a game of hope and glory
It is a game of shame and pride
It is a never ending story
And it never turns out right
It is a game of hope and glory
It is a game of shame and pride
It is a never ending story
And it never turns out right
It could have almost turned out right
It almost turned out right
I've been roaming about the streets of New York City
I've been strolling down the beaches of South France
I've been to the desert, I've been to Scandinavia
Some have it all but don't see what they're given
Some always lose but still they keep on trying
I wish that I could have that gift of feeling happy
Even if inside you really feel like crying
God knows I've tried hard to forgive her
God knows I've tried hard to forget her
God knows I've loved, God knows I've given
God knows I'm mad, God knows I'm driven
I tried to hide away in lonely places
Tried to disappear in crowded city streets
I've been seeking comfort in too many cold embraces
Some still feel the warmth upon their skin
Long after the sun's already gone
I wish that I could have that gift of feeling rich
Even if you hardly have enough to get along
God knows I've tried hard to forgive her
God knows I've tried hard to forget her
God knows I've loved, God knows I've given
God knows I'm mad, God knows I'm driven
Wherever I've been going to
Trying to escape from you
You've been there
Trying to get it all out of my mind
Searching for sentences, trying to put down some lines
That say how it feels
That say all those things we left unsaid
Fragments of pictures, like flickering lights
Come into my mind and then they get out of my sight
But each one leaves a dark dark trace behind
It was one of the days
When it feels like we could lose anything that's worth keeping
And it makes me confused
But maybe tomorrow brings more than what we hoped to find
Hold on, when the bridges in between are broken
Let us hold on to that day that lies ahead
Let us hold on, and say the words we have never spoken
Hold on, anything we do is better than
Moving in circles of sadness
Missed opportunities and chances passed
Cautious hopes that dissolved at last
Have brought me here
Made me cry those bitter tears
In circles I go round and round
One day lost and one day found
I hoped in vain that it could ease my pain
To think it over, again and again
It was one of the days
When it feels like we could lose anything that's worth keeping
And it makes me confused
But maybe tomorrow brings more than what we hoped to find
Hold on, when the bridges in between are broken
Let us hold on to that day that lies ahead
Let us hold on, and say the words we have never spoken
Hold on, anything we do is better than
Moving in circles of sadness
I know wherever the wind may blow
Might be the place
Where I should go
The tears will be gone before tomorrow is there
I can feel my heart beat faster
As I finally raise my head and swear
I will hold on
I will hold on
Let us hold on
Let us hold on
Hold on, when the bridges in between are broken
Let us hold on to that day that lies ahead
Let us hold on, and say the words we have never spoken
Hold on, anything we do is better than
If you feel, that you once loved
Too much to ever love again
Don't think nobody else
Feels the same or understands
Half my life, I've been waiting just like you
Half the world, I've travelled all in vain
Half my life, I've been searching just like you
To find that link gone missing from the chain
In a thousand miles of crashing waves
Just once, one might kiss the shore
And so does love take its time
But is still worth waiting for
It's a golden age you say
But not for those
That choose to go their way
And not the way you chose
Why do you tell your son
What he has got to do
Why do you want him
To become exactly like you?
In the end he will learn to know better
Than to trust in somebody like you
I don't believe in democracy's voice
I won't rely on a king to be wise
I won't give in to the majority's choice
Because I don't think that the majority's right
In the end I learnt to know better
Than to trust in the majority
So this time I won't be a victim
In all of these years I have learned to defend
My army's marched up and my strategy's clear
I'm back in the real life again
So watch out, I'll shoot without warning
If you get too close I will bite
We're always pretending to be civilized
Behaving like cavemen
A chain will only be as strong
As its weakest link
I won't rely on your tribal spirit
Because to me it is nothing but herd instinct
In the end I learnt to know better
Than to trust in a tribe like this
So this time I won't be a victim
In all of these years I have learned to defend
My army's marched up and my strategy's clear
I'm back in the real life again
So watch out, I'll shoot without warning
Don't get too close, I will bite
We're always pretending to be civilized
Behaving like cavemen
In the end I learnt to know better
Than to trust in a tribe like this
So this time I won't be a victim
In all of these years I have learned to defend
My army's marched up and my strategy's clear
I'm back in the real life again
So watch out, I'll shoot without warning
Don't get too close, I will bite
We're always pretending to be civilized
Long ago it went out of our hands
We are believing in words that we don't understand
Trust in the media's honest appeal
And forgot to trust in what we feel
Set all your channels open to receive
It will not be in vain
Collecting and reflecting
Is the way that leads away from pain
Life behind the barriers, in invisible frontiers
In a jail of glass, with walls made of frozen tears
Through windows we see, in the papers, on TV
Those information cannot mean much
Through windows we see, but we cannot touch
It is not the tumble of the dice
Remove those hands from your eyes
Just open windows in your mind
Leave the barriers behind
It is just a different state of mind
A thinking of a different kind
A little bit more encouraged voice
Speaking for the right of choice
Farewell to all that lies behind
Farewell to this pair of tired eyes
The head in the sky, the feet on the ground
We break all the walls around
Life behind the barriers, in invisible frontiers
In a jail of glass, with walls made of frozen tears
Through windows we see, in the papers, on TV
Those information cannot mean much
Through windows we see, but we cannot touch
It is not the tumble of the dice
Remove those hands from your eyes
Just open windows in your mind
Leave the barriers behind
Open eyes and open ears
Won't let us get too far
If we can't lay down our masquerades
And stand for what we are
All these sheets of glass are the barries between
Those of us, who wish to be
Those, who don't wish to seem
It's time to open windows in our minds
It is not the tumble of the dice
Remove those hands from your eyes
Just open windows in your mind
I took a look at myself
I dropped all my defenses
After fooling myself
For so long
I broke all my habits
I gave up my pretences
I faced all those things
So crazy and wrong
I had reached a point
Where I could fall no deeper
Right there I knew what to do
Eventually
I know you thought
I was just running away
But the real escape
I had made years ago
Deep inside of me
Are there just no Forevers in life
Are they all just illusion
Just something we build to protect us
From feeling so lost and lonely
Would it be wiser to be
Happy when things are just good
Instead of yearning for perfection
That we'll never find most likely
That advice I have given
To friends and that so much more
Applied to myself
Came back to my mind
How desperately I must have
Tried to believe
That in my own little world
Things were perfectly right
I lied to myself
I despised myself
I denied myself
But the pain grew stronger
I will lie to myself
I will despise myself
I will deny myself
Not one day longer
Because there is no such thing at all
I hope one day I will grow out of this
Then I will leave this battlefield
Good or bad depends on your point of view
And I can see things from both sides
Just one more classic case of catch-22
Things don't have a simple truth
So you ask where this is leading me
Only I don't have an answer yet
Seeing things black and white is for the weak
I'm strong enough for shades of grey
While searching for the perfect compromise
I am driven to despair
So my thoughts are spinning around
For I know my problem well
And I wonder, will I ever get
Out of this carousel
You are trying in vain
To reach me with your hands
But all that I can say
Is I hope you understand
So I am caught between the chairs again
While everybody else does fine
It's just my nature to move back and forth
Always trying not to offend
I cannot decide whether to refuse
Or to reach out for your helping hand
So my thoughts are spinning around
For I know my problem well
And I wonder, will I ever get
Out of this carousel
You are trying in vain
To reach me with your hands
But all that I can say
Is I hope you understand
Meanwhile I'm trying to make up my mind
Feeling like I'm paralysed
What's the sense of it all, is it...
Because of you and I
Because of fear
Or just because of all
That I wish to have near
It's about really stupid things
But they keep growing until
They seem to tear me apart
So my thoughts are spinning around
For I know my problem well
And I wonder, will I ever get
Out of this carousel
You are trying in vain
To reach me with your hands
You ask for explanations
Until things make sense
Well, I don't have any
So all that I can say is
I hope you understand
It is because you and I
Because of fear
Because of all
That I wish to have near
It's about really stupid things
Of no major size
But they keep on growing
There was a time when we were
As close as hearts can be
Your pain and fear, your dreams and hopes
All that you shared with me
I was just a child back then
As I grew up I had to see
Not all those wishes that we have
Become reality
In all those years of doing nothing
But killing time
Having lost my faith, my strength, my power
Was my hardest crime...
I know that you tried hard to save me
When I was about to drown
But your way of trying to help me up
In fact just dragged me down
You've put me in a golden cage
All luxuries we shared
You hoped I would feel safe and warm
But in fact I just felt scared
After all those years of doing nothing
But killing time
In the end I felt like a prisoner
Of my image you designed...
In a moment of rage I broke out of that cage
Spread my wings and found I could fly
In a moment of pain I broke free from the chain
Much too long I had lived a lie
In the end I just had too much
Of the getting in and out of touch
Of all that moving forth and moving back again
Men of steel turn into men of rust
Before they either bite the dust
There you sit with glassy eyes
Staring at that oversized
Computer-screen in front of you
The whole day and night long
Entangled in that world wide web
Did the head below your baseball-cap
Ever wonder if in your life something
Might be going wrong
You've got an information overdose
That's a fact that you can't conceal
Your world is made of bits and bytes
But there's a world outside that is for real
Your girlfriend lives in New York
You've got to know her in cyberspace
You say that you're in love but will you
Ever meet her face to face
To have a thousand friends
Around the whole wide world is what you claim
But how come in your neighbourhood
No one at all knows your name
You've got an information overdose
That's a fact that you can't conceal
Your world is made of bits and bytes
But there's a world outside that is for real
This world's become a crazy place
The magic left without a trace
Sober-minded concepts took the place
That dreams once had
We've got pills for every little thing
Only health they never seem to bring
It's a crazy place indeed
Everyone is smiling bright
Everybody feels allright
For every problem there's another drug
To drown the pain
Technology saves time they say
So who took all the time away
It's a crazy place indeed
There you sit with glassy eyes
Staring at that oversized
Computer-screen in front of you
The whole day and night long
Entangled in that world wide web
Did the head below your baseball-cap
Ever wonder if in your life something
Might be going wrong
You've got an information overdose
That's a fact that you can't conceal
Your world is made of bits and bytes
The evening sun shines on the sea
Forgotten dreams come back to me
A river run dry returns in flood
Running through my veins
Running through my blood
It was a very special magic moment's glance
A dreamer back in paradise
A dancer lost in trance
Every word you said still echoes in my ears
When I close my eyes I still hear every noise
I would not waste a minute, if I had the choice
If I could make the winds raise with a prayer
I would call them all to take me there
Rivers run dry, but waters flow
No sun in the sky, but flowers grow
A silent scream that hurts my ears
A friendly word that causes fears
That's what we are
We live in the age of the paradox man
In riddles we speak and riddles we are
I cannot take anymore
From the day of our birth we are searching for tenderness
For the love we need and acceptance we seek without cautiousness
With every day that goes by our demands grow
While our conscience seems to get less
I am just like this myself
And so that is what I confess
It is a wired game we play
Everyone so led astray
How I wish there was somebody
That I could count upon
How many times in my life have I sold my own identity
Have I been the victim of my own incapacity
It's an endless flow
A constant up and down
Sometimes we are close to reach a shore
Sometimes we are close to drowning
Forever it goes on
From our first day to the last
There are some precious moments in between
They are all I need
They are all I care for
Rivers run dry, but waters flow
No sun in the sky, but flowers grow
"Yes" we say, but "No" we mean
Mostly things are not what they seem
That's how it is
We live in an age of paradoxes
Encoded in riddles
But nobody knows what they mean anymore
Wasting years with a second's levity
Undermining laws of gravity
Generations sacrificed on the altar of progress
If there would only be a place somewhere
That could offer me some rest
Where I could stay until this storm is over
So here is my request
It's an endless flow
A constant up and down
Sometimes we are close to reach a shore
Sometimes we are close to drowning
Forever it goes on
From our first day to the last
There are some precious moments in between
They are all I need
They are all I care for
Higher than high becomes lower than low
We go faster than fast, but move slower than slow
Perspectives change in the moment of truth
The travesty ends in the moment of proof
It was a very special magic moment's glance
A dreamer back in paradise
A dancer lost in trance
Every word you said still echoes in my ears
The shining sparkle in your eyes
This is all I need
