I'm street live wrapped in paradise
I'm the fatal sin
Truth is what I feel I've got a life to steal
Have to crawl inside your mind
I've got your brothers smile looking eye to eye
Knowing what you see
Life for sale, indeed
Worth a dime, for I wash my sins in greed
Secrecy
The government and I working overtime
Join the line I'm in
Silent blow the wind, got it's eye on you
Hearing everything
Secrecy
'Live it over'
I'm the echo of the call
I'm the brick that breaks your fall
Live a life of secrecy
Wounded, bleeding on the run
I'm the wolf that hunts you down
Live a life of secrecy
[solo]
[Instrumental]
You always were sure who you are and what you'll be
How to get what you want
But sometimes there're days when you lose your goal
Ask yourself what's beyond
What's right what's wrong in life?
Sometimes there're many whys
Can you imagine there're someone who rolls the dice?
A deep dimension
Love and wisdom for your life
A weapon 'gainst the thing which cuts in like a knife
Justice for
- children of the observer
- from above
There're so many ways for a crisis to come
Where're the strength to fight it down?
D'you you really believe that you got a real chance?
If you're all on your own
When all in you's sorrow!
If you would only know
You're all leaves in the storm
Just by the grace of god that you fell safe and warm
His love is everywhere
So we can take it all
None would have to want - no one would have to fall
Chorus
If you would only know...
[Chorus]
Ever have been a strong man
Conscious of the will to survive
Make my life with my own hands
Sure there was no one to rule my life
I was to proud -
To believe in a higher leader of life - never!
Chorus:
But the truth came to me
Love was filling the heart in me
Showed
me the one to adore
Showed me things never seen before
He got the power of money
Was a rich man, so he felt so save
Ever dreaming of status of wealth
But this status locked him in a cage
Those iron bars -
Were created to keep all their slaves apart - from
Chorus:
But the truth came to me
Love was filling the heart in me
Showed me the one to adore
Showed me things never seen before
She never felt religious
Magic's spirit was filling her mind
Evolution - her basic belief -
Dest
iny - they should see but they're blind
Lies all around
Enticement for all who don't care what's allowed
She says:

Come take my hand
I'm standing here just waiting for your sign
My lessons in new ways
Have really changed your mind
Now you can see what seemed far away
Live in two worlds
You'll fade away if you wanna stay
Speak final words
Your cowardice is killing
All the feelings which rose between us
What yesterday seemed almost clear
Will today just be a lie
The other side
You try to show, to show them the new way
But you look in dull eyes
There's only black only white
Now you can see what seemed far away
Live in two worlds
You'll fade away if you wanna stay
Speak final words
Fade away
If you stay
What's to say
When the grief of choice is endless
Other side
Black and white
Stupid sight
You must tear apart what's senseless
Fade away
Now you can see what seemed far away
Live in two worlds
You'll fade away if you wanna stay
Speak final words
When the grief of choice is endless
When the grief of choice is endless
For me there's nothing left to hide
They try to blind and scorch my mind
A change into a chrysalis
Truth is often bitter left unsaid
But I see the shadows in my hands
Sears of my loneliness
Self-knowledge, repressions, forthcoming fear
Which brings me to justice the ending is very near
Repentance of my conduct judges only myself
You can't be here but I need your help
The fading childhood argument
Degradation, I'm losing friends
The outcome of my decadence
Escaping on the wings of dreams
I've left behind all misery
I've gone through in reality
Self-knowledge, repressions, forthcoming fear
Which brings me to justice the ending is very near
Repentance of my conduct judges only myself
You can't be here but I need your help
Oh, I remember, the shadows in my hands
These signs of sorrow
They were my only friends
The silhouettes of guilt, a murderer's residue
Significations that make my cry insane
Self-knowledge, repressions, forthcoming fear
Which brings me to justice the ending is very near
Repentance of my conduct judges only myself
Faster than fast
And better than best
We're gonna reach it
We've set our task
Demands to fulfill
While some of them still
Behind greed and need
What counts is thrill
This time I won't get away
This time no fault will come my way
This time I won't get away
This time no fault will come my way
Running down the memories
Wrapped up in desire
Oh after the fall there's nothing at all
But tears of an end and a smile for a friend
Keep on
Want to believe
Can I receive
Want to believe
But something was wrong
You can't get along
Searching to find the weak and the strong
These times of love come from above
They're the result of feeling and shove
This time I won't get away
This time no fault will come my way
This time I won't get away
This time no fault will come my way
Running down the memories
Wrapped up in desire
Oh after the fall there's nothing at all
But tears of an end and a smile for a friend
Keep on
Running down the memories
Wrapped up in desire
Oh after the fall there's nothing at all
But tears of an end and a smile for a friend
Keep on
But tears of an end and a smile
The morning has just begun
Good morning to everyone
I'm sorry I'm down again
Just tryin' to get up again
Chorus:
Can't you
understand
Don't want to ruin
your day
With my silly hate
Just can't understand
And I'll
never accept
Those lives wasted in
vain
What is it for?
Don't you get me
wrong
This won't last for
long
I just had a bad dream
Of a soldier's last
scream
Chorus
Hear my
bleeding heart:
The first to leave was the thunder
Long eight years were enough
Who can follow you?
The next one's for each a wonder
His words you can hear now
Try to understand
All success - what worth now?
Going on - tell me how
Perception seems so clear
But there's fear
Chorus:
The wall of sorrow keeps us asunder
So we got times of tears
No power to hold
No strength for a friend
Some hearts are in deep depression
Love's butterfly's dying
Is this divine proof?
The music is fading
slowly
If reality calls us
Heavy metal's end?
Reaching for a higher aim
We will not be the same
Our union - shivering
Shall we sing?
Chorus
Life's meaning - what worth now?
Going on - tell me how
Reaching for a higher aim
You always were sure who you are and what
you'll be
How to get what you want
But sometimes there're days when you lose
your goal
Ask yourself what's beyond
What's right what's wrong in life?
Sometimes there're many whys
Can you imagine there're someone who rolls the
dice?
A deep dimension
Love and wisdom for your life
A weapon 'gainst the thing which cuts in like a

FT/PART 1)
A new truth's surrounding me
Reflecting what I used to be
I read the word and doubt it still
But it says the promise'll be fullfilled
I feel the change and don't know how
my deepest hope it starts to grow
...and grow
I roamed the world's philosophy
Searched for an aim to set me free
Could it be, the answer's here?
Right before my eyes so clear?
A new warmth, like an embrace,
Saves me from mind's endless maze
You're desperately clutching at knowledge
Though blind belief always means bondage
Science won't solve life's big mysteries,
Don't you try to make me believe
With blind eyes and deaf ears we wander
Still you pretend to hear and see
Chorus:
This world's wisdom is
Is anot
her try
Just a round'bout way
To mind's borderline
A round'bout way
A dead alley
Discovering explaining researching
Judging without understanding
One answer = a million new questions
And you say you're close to the truth
Science won't solve life's big mysteries
How long will you refuse to see?!
Chorus
Straight ahead
At the speed of this century
With no look to the left or right
You race on and on and on
No enlightened, you close your eyes
So fast you don't move at all
So free l
ike a slave you are bound
What if you'd change your way of thinkin'
Allow yourself a different view
Then turn your head to what seems foolish
And take the hand stretched out for you!
I Masquerade
I'm not me
You're not you
What if I let
You see thr
ough
...my disguise
Would you leave
Would you stay
At my side
Or run away
...away from me
Beyond all pretence
What else would remain
Whatever you'd find
Would you stay the same
Let us stop
This masquerade
This poisoned game
Before it's too late
...to be true
II Dawn
No more hiding pain in shade
Hello, do you remember me - ID DID N
FORGET THOSE YEARS
You look as if you work too hard - OH, YES I
GUESS THAT'S TRUE
What about the ideals you had in '68
To me it looks like you are now what you were
fighting.
You were fighting then
Chorus:
It is ideological - all thoughts you
might have
The pictures in your mind
Caused by social history
I CHANGED MY LIFE AND SETTLED DOWN
IT'S RESTFUL, PLEASANT, WELL
TO ME IT'S OKAY, YOU SEE -
My friends live the same way
It must be the influence of society
That creates succ
essfully
A new dictated ideology
Chorus:
It is ideological - all thoughts you
might have
The pictures in your mind
Caused by social history
Consciousness - the only way to
understand
All my thoughts - Ideology
And your thoughts - Ideology
My ideals - Ideology
No free will - Ideology
But in the past - Ideology
And what does last - Ideology
To understand life and men - is there a hope?
Cold As Ice
Strange days, strange nights
Bad feelings in my mind
Strange ways, silence cries
Always walking in the night
In the darkest nights
My thoughts are always dark
I see vampires in the night
They're thirsty for my blood
Trying to get my soul
They're always in control
You have to run
You have to hide
Don't go away
And never say goodbye
Don't ever try
Refresh your mind
Don't ever cry
And look behind
My heart is like a stone
As cold as the coldest ice
Strange people dressed in black
Trying to find a place to hide
Strange rumours, the night cries
Always running from the sun
My heart is like a stone
You turn your back from right to wrong
You realize dreams and hopes are long gone
Longing for the days that once had been
You socialise with fantasy and other dreams
Inside you're searching
Aiming to master the vile
Hatred is that what's
Inside you
Gazing at stars of the night
You realize, there's no path to the right
Do you understand that it's yourself
And no one else who reaches what you want
Inside you, inside you
Inside you're searching
Aiming to master the vile
Hatred is that what's
Inside you, you, you
Inside you're searching
Aiming to master the vile
Hatred is that what's
I remember all the times
The song, the melody, the rhyme
Recurring in my mind when I met you
But it feels so strange
Is this all arranged?
All arranged by you
Yeah was nothing true?
And now you look past my eyes
As if you're waiting for a vice
To have a cause to leave again
You're going to take it without a feeling
Making your relation tactical
Do you really want to offend me in this way
Don't say: what do I care
I behold
You're so cold
Live and win
By your maxim
You say all your freedom's gone
You're sure of where you belong
Now you must budge from my side
I don't understand
Don't you need a hand
A hand of tenderness
What do you repress?
So we're here at daggers drawn
After calm now comes the storm
I never wanted this variance
You're going to take it without a feeling
Making your relation tactical
Do you really want to offend me in this way
Don't say: what do I care
I behold
You're so cold
Live and win
By your maxim
Never go back to where you come from
You gotta act with intellect
Oh it feels so strange
Is this all arranged
Was nothing true
Is this all arranged
Is this arranged
Arranged by you
Never go back to where you come from
You gotta act with intellect
Never go back to where you come from
Secrecy
Hey you look me in the eyes
And tell me what you see
Another shining silhouette
Crawls inside of me
How can you describe
The changes that I live
When whispering darkness
Doesn't let me breathe
So what can I say
When there isn't a way
That reveals what covers the night
Silence is embraced
By those that wouldn't change
Turning darkness into light
In a sacred why
Death is on my side
That is the design
That is craved in my life
I'd rather walk lost
And alone in the dark
'cos I know the truth
Will tear us apart
There's no other way
To keep me safe
From the ignorance of mankind
I only have to face
That's a sad disgrace
Falling
An eternal life
Waiting for your love
Let's leave
Be free
I am a broken heart
Don't tear me apart
Let's leave
Be free
You're my love and death
Follow your heart
Falling, falling
You're my love and death
Follow, follow
Give me your heart
The story of my life
Such a perfect life
Let's leave
Be free
I gave you my love
Don't ruin my life
Let's leave
Be free
You're my love and death
Arise And Fall
Dark comes the night
Death comes in disguise
Here comes the crow
To carry your soul
They erased your light
They took your paradise
They joke on your face
And some said it was faith
Fly on
Fly on
Arise and fall
Like a bird in the sky
I wish I could fly
Another time another life
And you must say
Goodbye
Fly on the crow's wings
Hear the rain sing
See through his eyes
You can see the stars shine
He is the passenger
He could be a stranger
He's the flame that kept your soul
Knowing you're the devil's son
Please look into my eyes
Let me lead you to paradise
Do you believe in angels?
Now I'm here
You had the fun 'fore I could feel
Child to me
You called me sweet 'fore you saw me
My first word was not the word it used to be
Realize my fate is not your merciless!
You want to share my love
Feeling that it's right
You know the consequence
Holding me tight
Look what you're doing to me
Feeling that it's good
If you love me this way
Please let me out
I want to touch the sun
Want to feel a look of pride
Never float on clouds of lust,
Never tears cried out in pain
Feel my eyes
Be with me
You told me
You'd always be my helping hand
Good or bad
You'd always stay in tune with me
But to be a son of the lunatic ones
Means to be everything but sweet, loneliness
You want to share my love
Feeling that it's right
You know the consequence
Holding me tight
Look what you're doing to me
Feeling that it's good
If you love me this way
Please let me out
I want to touch the sun
Want to feel a look of pride
Never float on clouds of lust
Never tears cried out in pain
Feel my eyes
Be with me
I want to touch the sun
Want to feel a look of pride
Never float on clouds of lust
Never tears cried out in pain
Feel my eyes
Be with me
One Day
Everytime, every whisper turned to cold
You just can't hide your heart of stone
In this life you have almost lost your faith
Stay here tonight until the storm fades away
One day I thought
I heard you cry when I was gone
One day I will come
I hope I can see your smile
Sometimes life doesn't have a meaning
Every frozen kiss is like shivers down my spine
In this life you have almost gone away
Don't stay tonight your heart will blow
One day the sun will shine
Other day the dead will rise
Who's Talking, Who's Crying
I can hear someone saying
I'll be back, will you cry for it?
But I'll be dead, will you cry for it?
Cry for me and I'll cry for you
Who's talking and who's crying for?
I can hear someone screaming
I'll be out, will you cry for it?
But I'll be alive, will you cry for it?
Cry for me and I'll cry for you
Who's talking and who's crying for?
Please show me the light
At the end of my own tunnel
Show me what's wrong, what is right
How love always tumbles
When confronted with temptations
And all kind of frustrations
Now it's time to pray
Dark silhouettes
Dance on the wall
Surrounding me
Old photographs
Of days gone by
Staring at me
You have torn a hole in my life
Can you see me now
I can't seem to grasp why you're gone
Can you hear me now
My tears can't fill the empty space
You left in me
In silent cries and bleeding eyes
I hide away
You have torn a hole in my life
Can you see me now
I can't seem to grasp why you're gone
Can you hear me now
Infinite loneliness
Infinite loneliness
Catching a glimpse of what else
Of what else may be beyond
Of what else life is about
On borders to infinity
Eternity's so far away
And yet so near
I see myself
From out of a mirror of weakness
Stand beside your grave
Pretending you'll return to me
Somehow, somewhere, sometime
Inside a hole of despair
In bitter oppression I dwell
I suddenly begin to know
What you meant to me
Tearing out all that is left inside me
Can't follow
Can't follow you to where you're now
Leading me to driving me
To infinite loneliness
I see myself
From out of a mirror of weakness
Stand beside your grave
Pretending you'll return to me
Somehow, somewhere, sometime
I see myself
From out of a mirror of weakness
Stand beside your grave
Pretending you'll return to me
Somehow, somewhere, sometime
But I won't go betrayin' myself -
This is my new song...
[Chorus:]
Far too long
I reaped the harvest of my worthless seed
From a field
Full of lies
and discontent
Far too long
But it seems those days are gone
Lord I pray
After dark, now, is this dawn?!!
I guess, in different ways, we all try
To reach the same
To find a restin' place for our souls -
Is all effort's aim
But I wonder what this empty toil's for -
For it's all in vain...
[Chorus]
For it's all in vain
I won't return to where
I once have been
I will not return
To meaninglessness
Those days are gone
Chosen to be the one
To be the heaven's son
Lord of ten thousand years
You've to forget your fears
Must not show no tears
Last of the dynasty
End of your monarchy
Taken away
Your home will fade away
Ruler of all the land
Your reign turns to an end
You're forced to leave the town
They disallow your crown
Now you are dethroned
Last of the dynasty
End of your monarchy
Will you return?
First time you're real concerned
Forbidden city, China's ancient heart
This is the place where you have lived apart
Return and seize control
Cope by fair means or foul
Abused as a marionette
You ever had been led
Those times, you can't setback
Last of the dynasty
End of your monarchy
Will you return?
Now prove what you've learned
Wish of returning still remained a dream
History tells that you have kicked the beam
Wish of returning still remained a dream
History tells that you have kicked the beam
Last of the dynasty
End of your monarchy
Will you return?
You're just a child
Innocence in your desperate cry
You know the face of death
Dream with a man jesus christ
Disease in your eyes
Mysticism gone with your smile
Once life now a memory
The wings fall from the butterfly
Agony is deeply disguised
The appearance of neon lights
Did not avoid the pressure
Of dirty hands in your life
Scream loud to the dark night
You forget the sunshine
You can't leave the ancient labour
A Myth
Believe in wisdom
Believe in mankind
But the wisdom of mankind
Is nothing but a myth
Believe in passion
Believe in life
But the passion of a lifetime
Is nothing but a myth
I believe in magic
Believe in love
I believe in freedom
Believe in you
But the magic of love
Is nothing but a myth
Believe in people
Believe in freedom
But people's freedom
Is nothing but a myth
Believe in beauty
Believe in wildness
But the beauty of wildness
Is nothing but a myth
But the magic of love
Is nothing but a myth
Hollow Man
He came with the dusty wind
Taking slowly my last breath
Over him I see the dark wings
Spreading ancient substance on earth
He crossed the temple of seasons
He sent us his last testimony
His spirit tried to release from flesh
He will be alive in my memory
Alive in my memory
Hollow man
Blow my fears away
Like the phoenix born from her ashes
The stranger will reborn again
His essence was kept in my mind
This will be his eternal fate
And we are the new missionaries
In this old and sinful wasteland
We're gonna start the ceremony
With the touch of his lighted hand
Hollow man
Alive in my memory
Hollow man
Alive in my memory
Blow my fears away
You came to hollow me
You came to sacrifice me
This blood that is mine
Perfect Isolation
I'm in perfect isolation
Surrounded by people
But in perfect isolation
Surrounded by pure noise
But still in perfect isolation
Surrounded by your voice
Surrounded by your arms
Surrounded by your breath
But still in isolation
Alone in isolation
I'm alive and you are all dead to me
I'm in perfect isolation
Surrounded by a sea of people
But in perfect isolation
I'm not dead, I'm alive
But still in perfect isolation
Surrounded by emptiness
Surrounded by foolish people
Surrounded by a dark light
But still in isolation
Alone in isolation
Sins For Love
The pain is so strong
Strikes my heart and soul
My body is trembling with cold
I hear strange cries
Everybody has died
And I will survive
I am what I am
But most of the time
No one gives a damn
Suffering is in my mind
Wondering what can I do
To show you
That I still
Love you
Sins for love
Sins for pain
Sins for love
My lips are warm and dry
I feel you inside
This is the longest night
Like poison in my blood
I hear your soul cry
And I'm feeling so shy
Sins for love
Sins for pain
Sins for love
Sins for love
Hiding my pain
Sins for pain
Confusion in my brain
I want you to tell your tale
But hesitation gleams in your eyes
What is it what makes you afraid?
With your feelings i don't wanna dice
Please tell me just the truth
Stop to pretend
And i'll comprehend
Never try to abuse
The words you say
I am your friend
Light my mind
Let my knowledge grow
Fight the enemy in yourself with candour
It detains you believe me it's true
Please tell me just the truth
Stop to pretend
And i'll comprehend
Never try to abuse
The words you say
I am your friend
Secrecy's your order
Come show me all your fears
Secrecy's your order
This must decay
You'll be sure if you do your task
You yourself have to tear down the mask
Now look inside, what do you see?
You get afraid when you see the debris
Burst your inner fear and free your reliance
Stop to obey your mistrust
And give yourself a chance
You're leather wrapper with the notice
Top secret, beware of this
Secrecy's your order
Come show me all your fears
Secrecy's your order
This must decay
Secrecy's your order
A new truth's surrounding me
Reflecting what I used to be
I read the word and doubt it still
But it says the promise'll be fullfilled
I feel the change and don't know how
my deepest hope it starts to grow ...and grow
I roamed the world's philosophy
Searched for an aim to set me free
Could it be, the answer's here?
Right before my eyes so clear?
A new warmth, like an embrace,
Saves me from mind's endless maze ... endless maze
Before I see my emptiness
let me feel let me touch the sky
in all my life I've lived loneliness
now I'm crying out to a god thats forsaken me.
Now I'm falling down like s star in the winter night
now I embrace my death at the end of my time.
When skies will be ready to accept my soul
and dreams seems to be the end
life will put me in her arms again
to creat the breath of tomorrow
[Chorus:]
I'm seeing a pale horizon
the path in the land of nowhere
the shining shadows
that dance in the moonlight
A pale horizon the paths of secrecy
the shining shadows the birth of a new star
At the end of my dream a light still remains
to enlave my existence
in this world that despises me.
At the end of my dream
no one sess me dying
my screams in the void
only death is here for me.
efore I see my emptiness
let me feel let me touch the sky
in all my life I've lived loneliness
now I'm crying out to a god thats forsaken me.
