Huh!
What do you think when you smile into my eyes
You say that you like me but I know that's one of your lies
My love is abused my compassion misused
Cause I am too kind to despise, oh no
You hear me you see me and use me but you neglect
You like having me on your tail and show me your back
Why do we praise an illusion of grace
I know the way to survive
Standing to fight the love that misguides
The steel church is the savior of life
[Chorus]
Take me - take me to a church that accepts my hate
Take me - take me to a church of steel on steel
Take me - take me to a world I can lose my grace
Take me - take me to a hell of steel on steel
Maybe I`m evil but I take every chance
When I can get more there's no time to waste for romance
Show me how to maltreat to lie and to cheat
To fight steel on steel
Out of the light into the night
That is what I wanna feel
Much too long I really have been to kind
Always tried so hard to leave a tragic story
It's tearing me apart you never really care
Never met with your approval from your higher category
Found life at killing pace and wanna have my share
I've been led to the water to lap up
So I'm not gonna dry out draining
[Chorus]
King of the mountain
Devil has taken my reason
I got spooks in the attic
We dance on the mountain
And pleasure replacing my reason
Got spooks in the attic
I'm a family kind of man I've lately started number ten
Too alien to find somebody home
Hyper salivation - hyper ventilation
Heading for the grail across the sea of lubrication
I'm out for it while rather on my own
Don't you see all the water so get down
If you don't wanna dry out draining
[Chorus]
There is no place for reason
Taking to the crest
And you won't go down in history with reason
When you wake up in the fire
And your harbor lies in ruins
You wonder why the giant has been shot
Fired off down from the sky
You plead for explanation
Is it accident or rule
And where is your childhood hero
To drive all the demons away
What if the light
Shines in darkness my friend
And darkness just can't comprehend
So blaze the trail on your own
Go it alone
We are falling - falling to rise
Pain is the guide out of the wastelands
We don't need a hero
We are falling - falling to rise
No charlatan to show you the light
We don't need a hero
Indignity is the leader
To escort us to fen
Where they say the light is endemic
If only I could comprehend
Now you're old enough to face it
Rabble's stones give pain
Hit you as they watch your tracks
Apart from the way that they understand
What if the light
Shines in darkness my friend
And darkness just can't comprehend
So blaze the trail on your own
Go it alone
We are falling - falling to rise
Pain is the guide out of the wastelands
We don't need a hero
We are falling - falling to rise
No charlatan to show you the light
We don't need a hero
Oh we don't need a hero
A Scent of rain
A healing breeze
Is blown into my face
To feel desire
And raise my head
To gaze at the sky
And watch the setting sun
Breaking through
The darkened clouds
And I feel that I
Am still alive and breathe
For all the world to see
You can bind my blood
But the spirit will remain
For all the world to see
No matter what you claim
The spirit will remain
They wanna see me down
On my wounded knees
Wanna see me cry
But my eyes
Have run out of tears
When there's nothing left to pay
Just a little light of day
I got something
You can't take away
Fly away
Far away
Deep inside
Shelter for my spirit and my pride
For all the world to see
You can bind my blood
But the spirit will be free
"I've heard voices in my dream.
Made me stand up, helped me see." Aaah...
Oohhh...
Visions called him to awake his mind,
to find his horizon
and find out what may be behind.
(vision:) "Take what you need,
you can find in the back of your soul!
Wake up the king in yourself
to be mighty and bold!"
Seasons of doubt,
fear and silent desires of life... Have gone by!
Visions have called back my longing
for freedom tonight... Made me sigh!
Wasting my life till the day
that the voice has appeared... Made me see!
I am the one that can make it
through times of despair... I am free!
They built up a symbol of warning
to give me fear,
to keep me away from paradise
although it's so near,
expecting I don't take a look
at what is behind: Freedom calling...
Take a look at the open gate!
Walk on and don't be afraid!
Free your mind in what they call
it's the heart of temptation!
...oh... Go the way!
Take a look at the open gate!
Walk on and don't be afraid!
Free your mind in what they call
it's the heart of temptation!
Night after night I remembered the word of the priest:
"Thou shalt not!
Never give in to the promises made by the beast,
so help me god!
Never give in to temptation or you'll burn in hell
a long, long time!
Forever-eternal-salvation is what I can sell
if you stay blind!"
But I wanna know what lies behind the gate of their hell.
And I wont believe all the stories that they always tell.
I got the mind to find out what is right and what's wrong.
Freedom calling...
Take a look at the open gate!
Walk on and don't be afraid!
Free your mind in what they call
It's the heart of temptation!
Queen of mine I long for you.
Tell me why to wait to find our joy!
It's your wait for heaven's door,
Your fear that makes them grow
And let you forget today.
I'll never go and I'll stay on your side.
They'll never know what I give to you
is a piece of paradise.
Heaven can wait! Now I'm living!
Heaven can wait forevermore.
Heaven can wait!
I am to live like I want to also before I'll die.
Heaven can wait! You can't thrill me!
Heaven can wait, we dance till we die!
Heaven can wait! Welcome to the
Theater Of Salvation
"Hallelujah, hallelujah!"
I hear the man in black, his
"Hallelujah, hallelujah!"
He tries to keep me back. No!
"Hallelujah, hallelujah!"
Lock up the gates to wisdom
Hallelujah, hallelujah...
Too late! I've found the kingdom...
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
I see a band of angels.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Freedom calling...
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
I do not fear the stories.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Freedom calling me...
Don't you see it? Don't you feel it?
Freedom calling...
Take a look at the open gate!
Walk on and don't be afraid!
Free your mind in what they call
Another day of life has gone
i try to find a reason why
learn me how to feel some pain
you told me lies and made me cry
No words can describe what i feel
but destiny is there to be sealed
yesterday i was going out screaming loud i saw you
trying to hurt me!
I hate you, i hate you too (x4)
all the time i thought of suicide
it is no crime to save my own
but im too young and i got my well
outside seen to be told
No words can describe what i feel
but destiny is there to be sealed yeah!
yesterday your wild was going out
and screaming loud i saw you
trying to hurt me!
I hate you, I hate you too (x4)
no more laughing faces
i do everything
that's what i am
living the life
No more painful nightmares
able to scream in your life
that's what i am
living the life
Jumping to the coffin
little daddy's hose
that's what i am
living the life.
Waiting for you
fighting the dust
you brought me a million lives
that's what i am
living the...
You build up a sense of pain
you got it protected!
I no longer fear of your lies
I just have the aces of spades
You will watch me arise
You will let your will land in the trade of right!
No words can describe what i feel
but destiny is there to be sealed yeah!
yesterday i was going out and screaming loud
i saw you trying to hurt me!
"No brain is left but here I got one more nail!"
The master's final word
When he created a 'hero' like you
Born to deride and to hurt.
You don't try to find a reason why
You don't have a brain
(You don't wanna have a brain)
You are just a masquerade, just a nice facade
In a snob parade, I know
(You don't know)
You don't have to wait, I'll be too late
When you meet to jump off the edge
You don't have to wait, I'll be too late
When you meet to jump off the edge
I'm not like you and I don't wanna be
Follow the times to a place you can't see
Don't call in doubt what the fashing may bring
And you'll be falling down
Hammer the nail into what you don't know
Keep on believing you're strong
You got your pride and I got my peace
There's no sense in proving you wrong
We will fight just to stand upright
We are here to dare
(We will fight, we are here to dare)
Guts to sail against the stream, to defend the dream
To do what we feel, I know
(We will fight)
You don't have to wait, I'll be too late
When you meet to jump off the edge
You don't have to wait, I'll be too late
When you meet to jump off the edge
I'm not like you and I don't wanna be
Follow the times to a place you can't see
Don't call in doubt what the fashing may bring
And you'll be falling down
Ooohhh
You don't have to wait, I'll be too late
When you meet to jump off the edge
You don't have to wait, I'll be too late
When you meet to jump off the edge
I'm not like you and I don't wanna be
Follow the times to a place you can't see
Don't call in doubt what the fashing may bring
And you'll be...
Waiting all the time to erase it from my mind
I feel like I've been left behind, my heart is frozen
Pushed to rush and fall and again I'm gonna crawl
Is there really no return from the life been chosen
You wanted more from me than I could ever be
Rain is falling, pouring down on me
Holy water to ease my pain, purify me
Rain is falling, pouring down on me
Holy water to ease my pain
I'm driving down my way to digest yesterday
Under rain clouds towards the sundown to be devoured
And then come out alive
Dripping wet but purified
Ready to beard the memories of golden hours
No, there's nothing else than we can do
We gotta walk on through
Rain is falling, pouring down on me
Holy water to ease my pain, purify me
Rain is falling, pouring down on me
Holy water to ease my pain
Rain is falling, pouring down on me
Holy water to ease my pain, purify me
Rain is falling, pouring down on me
Holy water to ease my pain, purify me
Rain is falling, pouring down on me
Holy water to ease my pain, purify me
Rain is falling, pouring down on me
Yeah...!
In a world of hate pollution
We can't breathe anymore.
We've to leave and this time you,
The pawn, have won.
On our quest for nowhere island
We set off to the sea.
You call surrender what we call a calm
Before the storm...
Pounding thoughts of home they make me know:
"I will return! I don't live my life for you.
It's too short to get burned.
Stand upright and face the wind!"
Time to go back where I belong...
No one can prevent me
From raising towers in Babylon.
Time to go back where I belong...
No one can accuse me
For I do not fear
Babylon!
Babylon...!
You only can love me if you can convert me
To attitudes of your brain.
You blame us for doing things
That you don't know
You tell me what you'd do
If you were me, but you are you and I am I
Lucky you, but this time I say: "No!"
Pounding thoughts of home they make me know:
"I will return!"
I don't want to hurt you
But you'll have to learn:
You are you and I am I!
Time to go back where I belong...
No one can prevent me
From raising towers in Babylon.
Time to go back where I belong...
No one can accuse me
For I do not fear
Babylon!
Time to go
Back where I belong...
No one can prevent me
From raising towers in Babylon.
Time to go
Back where I belong...
No one can prevent me
From raising towers in Babylon.
Time to go
Back where I belong...
No one can prevent me
From raising towers in Babylon.
Time to go
Back where I belong...
No one can accuse me
For I do not fear
Now if you gaze up to the moon
See she's become as blood and soon
The time is right:
We gotta pave the way
You gather silk to weave the net
Entrap the strongest you can get
A soul that's ready to return again
See the purity shining from his eyes
A newborn angel
To help the chosen ones rise
Blood red prophet in the sky
We're standing under the moon
Come down with fire
See the creature come alive
Standing under the moon
Come down with fire
Down with fire
Down with fire
Good intentions raise a mind
A new messiah to judge the blind
Kill off the fools
Who bar my pure and holy plan
We lead creation by the nose
To bring divinity to those
Who know tonight a golden age begins
Divine is the spirit
Into a terrestrial shell
A saviour of human blood
Lead us to somewhere
To heaven or hell
Blood red prophet in the sky
We're standing under the moon
Come down with fire
See the creature come alive
Standing under the moon
Here alone now I'm staring at the sea
Behind the far horizon
Is there a better place for me?
Afraid to drown, afraid to dive
Scared by fears and the hot sunlight, yeah
And I dance in the rain, dive in the pool of life
Wash away the poison
And I dance through this pain, my body in a starless night
To wash away the poison from my soul
Between the devil and the deep sea
I don't know how to carry on
I only feel that inner force that's pushing me along
The tides of life bring clarity for my tumbling mind
I'll dive to see, set me free
And I dance in the rain, dive in the pool of life
Wash away the poison
And I dance through this pain, my body in a starless night
Soldier of sunlight
Welcome to the kingdom of ignorance
Where all the tears of ages tell their tales
No one dares to break the spell
No one dares to fly
Time is running out you can't deny
How many times
Have you found yourself under the influence?
How many times has a mirror made you cry?
Now it's time to stand upright
Tear down your inner door
The birth of yourself can't wait no more
In your mind there's a battle raging on
Try to find what you're fighting for
Wake up the king
From his sleep in your fantasy
Wake up the king
Let him be all you ecstasy
Tears flow to rivers
And rivers to oceans of broken dreams
Have you ever heard of tears of joy?
Show yourself a sense of life
Open up your eyes
Let your heartbeat be your best advice
In your eyes I can see the fire burn
Realize: now it is your turn!
Wake up the king
From his sleep in your fantasy
Wake up the king
Let him be all you ecstasy
Look at the mountain, look at the sun
Feel all the pure energy
Birds fly and whisper, call out your name
They belong to you and you're the
King of a kingdom, light in your hand
Look at what you have never seen
Walk on a rainbow, look to the stars
Cry it out and make your dream come true
Wake up the king
From his sleep in your fantasy
Wake up the king
Let him be all you ecstasy
Wake up the king
From his sleep in your fantasy
Wake up the king
Let him be all you ecstasy
Can't you see the crown?
(...and the vision continued:
"There is less sense in complaining than looking
What do you think when you spit in my face?
How does it feel to accuse and to haze?
Now look at me: I'm not one of your kind
And I prefer to stay behind
And walk the wicked way
We don't wanna be like you
Don't you get that King of fools?
We don't mind your life is trite
You are the King of fools
We are never gonna be like you
We don't follow - King of fools
You're the blind to lead the blind
And I walk the wicked way
You feel at ease as you flock with the masses
What do you see with your heads in their asses
Keep on railing at what I believe
Call me insane and I'm proud to be
And walk the wicked way
We don't wanna be like you
Don't you get that King of fools?
We don't mind your life is trite
You are the king of fools
We are never gonna be like you
We don't follow - King of fools
You are the blind to lead the blind - oh
We don't wanna be like you
Don't you get that King of fools?
We don't mind your life is trite
You are the king of fools
We are never gonna be like you
We don't follow - King of fools
You are the blind to lead the blind
Let me tell you a story about an ugly woman I know...
"Hello girls!"
"Hello Tobi you hot little machine!"
I'm a sight for sore eyes
Oh, if your eyes would only see
I've been born on tiptoe
Still you looked like a lighthouse next to me
You pet-named me Napoleon
I was proud 'til I got the reason why, why...
Never aimed for confrontation
You've been sleeping when I kissed your ass goodbye
Oh, while you read this letter
I'd just gone to eat out
By the way
My what a sunshine in Trinidad
Hope you're okay lightyears away
My what A heat wave in Trinidad
Hope you don't mind if I stay
Pitcher goes too often to the well
And now the pitcher's gone insane
Gotta run away, boiling over, getting hell
And found the answer on a plane
Oh, I've been pissing off
Before you might could have pissed me off.
I hope you're fine, yeah
My what a sunshine in Trinidad
Mind if you stay, I do okay
My what A heatwave in Trinidad
Sunburnt a night flight away
"Honey you're looking good so far away from me
The weather is great, the beach is great, the food is great
Everything is great and you're so far away, I love you honey
Greetings from Trinidad, hey!
My what a sunshine in Trinidad
Mind if you stay, I do okay
My what a heatwave in Trinidad
Sunburnt a night flight away
The prayers have been spoken
May the gods be on my side
May they join my way to bring me victory
Seven at one stroke
My triumph and my pride
They will be history
But behind my enemy's eyes
A soul in disguise
Not only lies
We live to fight the hand of doom
We got the pride to strike a fool
Vain glory be my wicked guide
We live to fight the hand of doom
We got the pride to strike a fool
Vain glory be my wicked guide
What's hell without a paradise
What's the night without a day
We would think it's bright
What's a fall if we can't rise
What's a hero at a play
Without a fool to fight
But behind my enemy's eyes
A soul in disguise
Not only lies
We live to fight the hand of doom
We got the pride to strike a fool
Vain glory be my wicked guide
We live to fight the hand of doom
We got the pride to strike a fool
Vain glory be my wicked guide
But behind my enemy's eyes
A soul in disguise
Not only lies
We live to fight the hand of doom
We got the pride to strike a fool
Vain glory be my wicked guide
We live to fight the hand of doom
We got the pride to strike a fool
The rain outside reminds me of your voice
Like everything I hear since you're not there
And distance doesn't leave me any choice
Than to meet you in a dream we still can share
In my dream I see your smile
But when I open up my eyes
I can't see anyone
Now that you have gone away
I wonder if we'll reach the day
That you will realize that we belong
I can't take it for granted
I remember your smile
I can't take it for granted
'Cause I know that our life is in line
For another day or life in another time
In another time
The pressure and the fear it made you blind
You thought you have to give some burden away
But are you really sure if it's required?
Don't you want to find out another day?
In my dream I see your smile
But when I open up my eyes
I can't see anyone
Now that you have gone away
I wonder if we'll reach the day
That you will realize that we belong
I can't take it for granted
I remember your smile
I can't take it for granted
'Cause I know that our life is in line
For another day or life in another time
In another time, in another time
I can't take it for granted - I can't take it
I remember your smile - I remember
I can't take it for granted - I can't take it
'Cause I know that our life is in line
For another day or life in another time
Jeer at him moving in slow-mo surrounded
By a spirit-entourage so odd-inviting sneer
You ride the spinning wheel that's getting faster
Outside they saw the passing centuries
Round and round merry go round
Round and round you go
Scream and shout - laugh aloud
It's so out of vogue
To lead a way outside the catalogue
You're in vogue and don't understand
It's so out of vogue to contradict
Your transient mistress of the world
How does it feel in your cage
Trapped in vogue
So don't you miss a thing in your carrousel
You feel so proud behind the steering wheel
The mind you sold waves at you from outside
And you feel happy as you kneel
Lady dark crack the whip - 300 pounds of lust
One shall get what you need.
It's so out of vogue
How do you do inside the catalogue?
You're in vogue and don't miss a thing
It's so out of vogue to contradict
Your transient mistress of the world
How does it feel in your cage
Blinded by the fire and the sorrow of the day,
I come knocking at your door
To dry the tears away,
The eventide is calling me to take a look into your eyes,
Pull me on and make me mesmerized!
Riding on the wings of light,
Dreaming dreams and holding tight:
Leaving all my sorrow far behind,
Your eyes are the gate
To the land of the miracle
Where our love can make us fly, make us fly,
In the land of the miracle,
We can find a reason why and how we can fly.
Open up the book up madness read the page of life!
Who's the one to tell you what to do and how to rise?
And if the stars would fall one day I'd climb up the sky
To put them back for you to save your smile.
Riding on the wings of light,
Dreaming dreams and holding tight:
Leaving all my sorrow far behind,
Your eyes are the gate
To the land of the miracle
Where our love can make us fly, make us fly,
In the land of the miracle,
We can find a reason why and how we can fly.
...take a look into the book of fantasy and poetry
And you will see: what you can feel is everything
You need to heal your crying mind, the soul behind
And everything that you may find inside your head...
...A million years have passed away to make us head
For the decay and to unlearn just what we yearn
For all day long: right to be strong and stick to
Our ideals, are they for real and do we just have lost the thread?...
...i believe in miracles they happen every day,
Walking a lonely road in the dark
A scent of rain
Under wings of a clouded sky
Is it a losing game
Running after pictures
Slowly slipping away
Trying to take hold of a memory
Do you remember the days when forever
Had only just begun
You reach for the distance
And when you arrive the distance is gone
Already gone
Withered roses in the rear view mirror
Fade away and rain came late
Was it all worth it
When its all been proven just an illusion?
A distant memory for
Tomorrow in the palm of our hands
What's gonna be left
But a thorn without roses
Tomorrow in the palm of our hands
We're gonna take hold
Of a thorn without a rose
Laid out of a hedge of thorns around my heart
Pricking your fingers
Our reason and soul
Tearing you and me apart
Bed of roses in the rear view mirror
It turns to thorns
To a bed of thorns
I'd never known that dying embers
Would hurt more than the blazing fire we'd lit
Tomorrow in the palm of our hands
What's gonna be left
But a thorn without roses
Tomorrow in the palm of our hands
We're gonna take hold
Of a thorn without a rose
Why do you think you have lost
There ain't nobody who has not
It ain't right, what I feel
I'll be begging on my knees
For the sun to rise again - yeah
For yours and mine
Another time
Tomorrow in the palm of our hands
What's gonna be left
But a thorn without roses
Tomorrow in the palm of our hands
We're gonna take hold
The dream is over - no one is to take the blame
We believed in roses but only thorns remained
And I look into the rear view mirror
We create and we destroy
Put our blood into a street with a dead end
Walk up that stairway to jump off into the black
Here we go!
We go all the way - Do we need the pain?
Waking up in a black tomorrow
I've been there before - Was it all wasted again?
We go all the way - Do we need the pain
Waking up in a black tomorrow
I've been there before - Was it all just wasted time?
Maybe I am different, maybe I'm a fool
And I wonder if it's worth it
Trying to find another you
And I look into the rear view mirror
Just to see how fucked I look
While I drive along that street with a dead end
Like a moth to the flame it's gonna suck me into pain
Still we go!
We go all the way - Do we need the pain?
Waking up in a black tomorrow
I've been there before - Was it all wasted again?
We go all the way - Do we need the pain
Waking up in a black tomorrow
I've been there before - Was it all just wasted time?
What are we heading for, why do I dare again?
Once bitten twice shy and still we never learn
So here I'm lying - A leisure-poet in pain
Involuntary loner, I know that life is just a game
Where nobody gets out alive - A sedative shot for me
No happy man gets out alive - Neither of us you will see
Here we go!
We go all the way - Do we need the pain?
Waking up in a black tomorrow
I've been there before - Was it all wasted again?
We go all the way - Do we need the pain
Waking up in a black tomorrow
Crying in the still of the night
A yearning for shelter
Silence kissing your wounds
Soothing your pain
Darkness - and what do they know
'Bout losing direction clutch at a straw
Cherish the hope to make it finally home...
You long to be see - through
So nobody can tell
Whenever they made you
Bleed your pride away
Now you're driven by a one track mind
Initiating you
Splendid flowers
Blossom from the wounds
The stronger the poison
The sweeter smells the bloom
Don't you try to stand your ground
Cause you're only coming home
To the heart of fire
You're home - found asylum
In a world where the broken dance
On shards of glass
I see fire - ruins and fire - and fire
In a world where the broken dance
With shattered dreams
It's burning inside you
This emotional hell
And you keep on smiling
Upon the icy tiles
A stream of fire to sweep the fears away
Seems like forever
Too long you've had to wait
Plunge in darkness
For wicked harmony
Little angel thrown away
Sure'll be back another day
To the heart of fire
You're home - found asylum
In a world where the broken dance
On shards of glass
I see fire - ruins and fire - and fire
In a world where the broken dance
With shattered dreams
Now see the cornered children
I see them off the beaten track
Embracing and crying
Freezing and dying
Concealed humiliation
Now let them dance
Liberation cruelty-free
Dance towards the gallows-tree
Bogyman was sought and found
Bogyman has found a home
In the heart of fire
He's found his asylum
In a world where the broken dance
On shards of glass
I see fire - ruins and fire - and fire
In a world where the broken dance
[music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet]
Nowhere yo run
Nowhere to go
Welcome to life damnation
Welcome to fun
Welcome to hope
Here is your invitation
Welcome to the gate
To the unknown fate
Waiting for a better day
Jesters dance around
Slowly growing old
Having party while they stay
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to go
Welcome to life damnation
Welcome to fun
Welcome to hope
Here is your invitation
[music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet & Edguy]
The ivory is cold. Where is my desire
In a cage of gold, not a trace of fire
Ice cold as ice. I`m heading for tomorrow
I am tired of waiting. I?l beg and steal and borrow
Life is to short to be wasted
So why do I sit around
Dance on the edge of a razor
Get off the ground and I`ll never return
Walk on fighting
Don`t look ever back
Walk on fighting
Don`t you look back to your cries
The phone it waits in silence. No message left by you
There is no use in crying. I know I`ve been a fool
Now it is too late. No words left to say
I gotta call it fate, forget and look away
Life is to short to be wasted
So why do I sit around
Dance on the edge of a razor
Get off the ground and I`ll never return
Walk on fighting
Don`t look ever back
Walk on fighting
Don`t you look back to your cries
Walk on fighting...
[music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet]
2080 -our world is an empty domain
Emotions have died
Men bleeding oil are the heroes for children today
Drinking the blood of the weak dictators bring pain
But they show us a smile
Feelings and love are kept hidden in a madhouse cave
It`s a mad revolution
And the spirits will die
Oh escape the confusion
Take my hand.
Now take my hand
Take me now
Take my hand
We wont be so free
Until we rise again!
Eden is mad so enjoy it and fly to the sun
Don`t you return
Your breath and your heartbeat are gifts
You`ve been given for life - oh yeah!
Oh your deepest emotions
are a sign of our life ad our love
No robot can stop us
Take my hand
[music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet]
Another day is coming
a new day has begun
An eagle is rising slowly to the skies of no return
disappearing in the growing sun
so proud and so beautiful
thinking about tomorrow with tears in his eyes
Once a lot of brothers spread their wings to join his way
Now he`s left alone in a world of lies
Cry for tomorrow
Why don`t we hear the eagles cries
Living in sorrow
Why don`t we help him to survive
Once a dignity- a mighty sign of pride
Strong and proud and free
A symbol of eternity. why don`t we see
we can`t survive, if we don`t realize
our world is a place that can`t be created twice
[music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet]
The moment when you held me tight
won`t come back any more
And at the end of that night
you slammed the door
My dream it died away
just when I saw red
And nothing but a memory
is left inside my head
Nothing is forever in life
But a memory believe it`s true
And when I gaze in the rain
i`m crying just for you
The scarlet rose has died
Lost inside the night
Left in my mind like a dream and full of pride
The scarlet rose has died
The one and only way to catch the
beauty of a dawn
Is to take a picture
of the growing sun
I got that experience
no one could steal away
One moment of your life is mine
I remember day by day
Nothing is forever in life
But a memory believe it`s true
And when I gaze in the rain
i`m crying just for you
[music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet & Edguy]
Into a place of darkness. He was born to live alone
He got one big desire. One day he`d get the crown
Hey devil come on help me now
Let me be your slave to serve you
To let me be the king
Just give me a sign
Take on my mind and let me stay blind
A victim of life too weak to be king
Out of control - My life is a chamber of tears, fear and hate
Out of control - Help me to gain the crown, here is my fate
Wherever I may roam there will be hate and pain
eye for eye, tooth for tooth. respect is what I gain
I look up to Mr Crowley. evil powers now unite!
I will be your darkest nightmare
my life is a fatal fight
Just give me a sign
Take on my mind and let me stay blind
A victim of life too weak to be king
"listen up my friend you just cry for a hand
but you only pretend that you`re bad. Now!"
We`ll take on my mind
[music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet & Edguy]
Fair sex paralyzer. Lipstick in a face
spirit analyzer, not one human trace
no need to cry
rool the fuckin` dice, im a loser in a game
gonna hurt my feelings, your only real aim
feels like I die
You can play nice you get satisfied when you win
I see a smile of truth but I can`t stare within
riot in your soul
No more foolin`
you will save all your love
no more foolin`
you will save all your love
Say goodbye- say goodbye
you never knw that I was strong enough to stand
All alone on my own I don`t need your hand
Got your weapons loaded, your target in your sight
why don`t you only tell me, that i shall fuckin` die
Looking so attractive, wanna get me active
but you never realized that i have got the tactics
I`m much too cool, much too large to be fooled
by your lies
You can play nice you get satisfied when you win
I see a smile of truth but I can`t stare within
riot in your soul
Say goodbye- say goodbye
you never knw that I was strong enough to stand
All alone on my own I don`t need your hand
Say goodbye- say goodbye
[music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet & Edguy]
Oh yeah...
Watching a face and a smile and a light
When you`re walking alone in the street
I know your look always gives you the might
Many miles from your ass to your feet
And I dream- what I`ve seen
Is what I want it to be - selfmade reality
How many miles to the gate of reality
How many steps left to go to my dreams
How many miles to the land where my dreams come true
Dreams which come true just have died
Look like a queen but you talk like a pawn
And I know you`re a fool in disguise
Godfather tell me how to carry on
Blinded by fantasies of lies
And I dream- what I`ve seen
Is what I want it to be - selfmade reality
I see your smile, a golden masquerade
And I know my dream will be my fate
Time has stolen my fantasy
Cause it has become a pale reality
[music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet & Edguy]
yeah...
giants of stone build up my desire
no one could tell us the secret of fire
the hinger for wisdom deep in your heart
you can`t accept that you`re liveing apart
water runs down through the river
lord you are the only to deliver
night: stay night
in the night`s nothing is white
now a knowledge not a light
lord, will you tell me why someday
fairytale - life is one big fairytale
a book of seven seals
someone tell me why and how
I`m always told to kneel down and pray
What shall I do to stay on my way
Questions borrow through my brain
pound and disturb and drive me insane
Lost in visions of knowledge I`ll never owe
night to night
(choir of the damned smurfs of death)
in the night`s nothing is white
now a knowledge not a light
lord, will you tell me why someday
Tell me what is time - yeah
Faking the truth in their eyes
Smile but they really deride
Never give you shelter
Lady all alone, naked to the bone...
Make you bleed and melt into tears
Down on your knees you will see
What you could be
Raise the power in your eyes
Make us rise to make us say
Down and alone - arrows fly
Breaking on my soul
Down and alone - arrows fly
I remember times
When arrows hit me causing pain
All alone I've found my soul
And now my soul is sane
The night has come down on the land
I wanna reach out for her hand
But she takes another
Lonesome in my room, staring at the moon
Treated like a bother
Down on my knees I have seen
What I can be
Raise the power in my eyes
Makes me rise to make me say
Down and alone - arrows fly
Breaking on my soul
Down and alone - arrows fly
I remember times
When arrows hit me causing pain
All alone I've found my soul
And now my soul is sane
(Guitar Solo)
Down and alone - arrows fly
Breaking on my soul
Down and alone - arrows fly
I remember times
When arrows hit me causing pain
All alone I've found my soul
(6:32)
Blinded by the fire and the sorrow of the day,
I come knocking on your door
to dry the tears away.
The eventide is calling me to take a look into your
eyes, pull me on and make me mesmerized!
Riding on the wings of light,
dreaming dreams and holding tight.
Leaving all my sorrow far behind,
your eyes are the gate.
(Chorus)
To the land of the miracle where our love can make
us fly, make us fly.
In the land of miracle
we can find a reason why and how we can fly.
Open up the book of madness,
read the page of life!
Who's the one to tell you what to do
and how to rise?
And if the stars would fall one day
I'd climb up to the sky
to put them back for you to save your smile.
(Repeat: solo: Jens: Both: Repeat)
...take a look into the book of fantasy and poetry and
you will see: what you can feel is everything.
You need to heal your cyring mind, the soul behind and
everything that you may find inside your head...
...a million years have passed away to make us head
for decay and to unlearn just what we yearn for
all day logn: right to be strong and stick to our ideals,
are they for real and do we just have lost the thread?...
...I believe in miracles they happen every day.
In your arms a dream comes true for me...
(Repeat everything possible!!!)
You're a child of an old illusion
Can't you hear it cry?
You live your life to the exclusion
Of what they call a lie
The touch of evil it is getting stronger
You'd better hide in the daylight
Or you won't stand the temptation no longer
And you will ask if your way is right
Do not ask the preacher why
All your fears keep it alive
Waiting for the end of time
Holy shadows, always follow
Holy chains on holy shadows
When you are eve then I am temptation
I am the words you're not allowed to say
The animal of their revelation
'Cause I can take your fears away
They make you blind and they want you to follow
"Free love is sin! Desire's slavery!"
My wicked kiss on your virgin lips
Will be a pleasant way you'll see it
Do not ask the preacher why
All your fears keep it alive
Waiting for the end of time
Holy shadows, always follow
Holy chains on holy shadows
Let's get down on the floor
You'll be screaming for more
When out bodies collide
I'll make you feel alright
Never give in when they call it sin!
Waiting for the end of time
Holy shadows, always follow
Holy chains on holy shadows
Holy shadows, always follow
Holy chains on holy shadows
Holy shadows, always follow
Holy chains on holy shadows
(...father, forgive her for giving in to her lust,
Longing for silence...
"Always faster" is the way that we go.
Not a little patience...
Higher, farer, better we grow.
The beast is rising. It's tantalizing
those who are taking the time.
Alienation... A revelation...
Straight to the end of the line...
The cold Chill you feel is no dream it's for real.
We don't follow!
Fly! Riding away... Rising today...
No we don't play your headless game!
We are alive, don't say goodbye.
Fly! Riding away... Rising today...
No we don't play your headless game!
We are alive, don't say goodbye.
Cast out from Eden...
You don't like what we are in your eyes.
We're leading the treason on the race you run,
the way of your life.
I am danger, I'm a stranger
cause I don't give in to your call.
And not until she is satisfied
we can come and explode and we fall!
We're blowing the frame of your headless game:
We don't follow!
Fly! Riding away... Rising today...
No we don't play your headless game!
We are alive, don't say goodbye.
Fly! Riding away... Rising today...
No we don't play your headless game!
Lord of fate, I feel you deep inside my brain...
Is it really just a dream or the urge to survive?
(...And during an odyssey through the back of my mind
A vision appeared to make me realize
I am the madness carrying the torch
Lighting the wheat in your fields
I am the eyes staring out of the dark
I am the war of your yields
When you give response away I grow
I am more of you than you might know
Burning down, burning down
It's a story of deceivers
Burning down, burning down
Put the blame on the unbeliever
I am the vision that comes to your mind
When you denounce without regret
"God" is the word in the bible you say
I am the word that you spread
When you give response away I grow
I am more of you than you might know
Burning down, burning down
It's a story of deceivers
Burning down, burning down
Put the blame on the unbeliever
I'm born and I lead the weak into the fire
"No more pain" is what you claim
While you have found your wicked desire
Hahaha...
Burning down, burning down
Put the blame on the unbeliever
Burning down, burning down
It's a story of deceivers
Burning down, burning down
Put the blame on the unbeliever
Burning down, burning down
It's a story of deceivers
A dawn on the run, nowhere to hide in a life of
Corruption, insanity has won, living in hate
And preaching destruction
I'm screaming tonight, my vengeance
To fight has killed all morality
The cries of the toll and madness control
And liberate my energy - Axe to the wax !
Misguidin' your life, you'll reach
The empire of madness
I will be rife, driven by insanity or hate
Misguidin' your life, you'll reach
The empire of madness
I will be rife, driven by insanity
Lunacy and rage are raving in my head, reign
Back to back, c'mon be my slave, the beauty
[music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet]
I'm feeling this time as bad as never before
A bleeding wag is fading away
Once you needed me for spending delight
Below the funny mask there's a crying face
The way that I smile is the way that I cry
But you'll never realize
My reputation is the one of a fool
Now watch like a poet dies, feel his cries
And I dedicate my roses to noone
Cause there is no mind to help me to see
A reason we need, a light for the lonesome
And noone to drink the blood that I bleed
The poet in my own wasn't given some
Chances and from that moment on
I lived apart, and I realized that I am my
Best friend and not those parasites
That try to stare into my heart
The way that I feel is the way that I heal
My body and soul and my life
And I know you just think I'm a fool
New watch like a poet flies, watch him rise
Am I totally blind this time when I'm dreamin'
The dreams that I fear, some call it nightmare
And some call it life, what is the sense of
Existing in here
And I think of the sadness when I'm dreamin' of
Leavin' the pain I don't get all that madness
And it drives me insane
Now hear me cry, I'm in quest
Of the key to my fate
I might be nigh to the key
In the abyss of hate
Annihilation in my brain
What is the price that we will be to pay
When will you lift our little poor souls
When will you take us oh lord away
Oh when will we die
Why to suffer to stand up right
We are victims of time
We have to fight till the end is in sight
What's the reason to carry on
What's the reason to fall
After days of living hall
After we had to crawl,
Are we totally blind this time
Can't you tell me the nexus of freedom
And pain and desires and hate
acred - standing full of pride
Spite on my mind, spite in my brain, guiding me to fight
Enchained - you pray to be a slave
Rules without sense, no little sense, to dust you will decay
Hallowed be my name
Hallowed be my name
God of creation you beg for damnation
Think you can serve me in hate?
Hallowed be my name
Hallowed be my name
God of creation you beg for damnation
Hallowed be my name
Hatred - pushed into a war
Those who blaspheme
Don´t join our way
Dying by your sword
Sacred - hallowed be my name
For peace you destroy
Lie and deny
A glorious crusade
Hallowed be my name
Hallowed be my name
God of creation you beg for damnation
Think you can serve me in hate?
Hallowed be my name
Hallowed be my name
God of creation you beg for damnation
Hallowed be my name
Hallowed be my name
Hallowed be my name
God of creation you beg for damnation
Think you can serve me in hate?
Hallowed be my name
Hallowed be my name
God of creation you beg for damnation
Hallowed be my name
Hallowed be my name
Hallowed be my name
God of creation you beg for damnation
Think you can serve me in hate?
Hallowed be my name
Hallowed be my name
God of creation you beg for damnation
Ravens in the air, noone in the streets
Seems like the fiend he must be back
Riding on his horse but also flying in the iar
Love has just started to crack - ow
Whisplash and torture, falseness and pain
Envy is driving our hate
Everything out there is mad and confused
Till we'll be able to seal each others fate
Staring through eyes of hate and able to kill
We don't realize we've been given our own
Fuckin' will, like animals humans don't think
Don't look for a reason, we hate no style
We put the blame on the demon
Sacred hell, sacred hell
There is nothing but names on the wall
You can be free, you can reach tomorrow
Sacred hell, sacred hell
So the fend must be back on our ball
Lose all your sins, lose all your sorrows
No lucid intervals, no people who guide
But a 1000 Masters of disguise
Eternal damnation 'cause humans they hide
Seasons`s gone and seasons go
Here I wait for something to be
Try to get as much as I can see
Hungry for life
But Have you see the sands of time
Every day is a moment in past
Every heartbeat a step to my last
I won't survive
I don't know what time is ment to be
If it's my friend or enemy
Or does it only run - Run to set and end
Secrets are the crazy dream
Or just a bad Reality
I don't know
Do you feel the sands of time
Running low to break the line
First we learn to fly
Then we learn to cry
Later in the evening we may die
Questions roaming through my brain
I'll be leavin' into my grave
I'll be dead - hope my soul will be save
For a time - hope forever
All the seasons will have been gone
Time will come that you will forget
My name and the words that I said
[Music & Lyrics: Tobias Sammet]
You gotta know
That there ain't always
Words of reason to explain
With those words my heart is falling silent
To let me slowly go insane
God tell me why your voice ran dry
And left me dreaming black
[Chorus:]
Dying angels, Dying angels
Feeling takes a gun to fire
Reason from a lightening sky
Dying angels, dying angels
I'm agonizing over dreams
Strangled by a feeling
I wake up dreaming black
A million single islands drift apart
And I'm losing ground
The more I feel the less I know
Strait-jacket-hero inward bound
God tell me why your voice ran dry
And left me dreaming black
[Chorus 2x]
I wake up dreaming
Another hero - a dying hero
I see an angel, fed up and pale
You've been a sleeper
You habe been getting state my friend
Time to leave the vale again
Back on the runaway you accelerate
Get out of the tight spot and fly
Take your chance tonight
I'll give you a ride tonight
And as the sun is gonna rise
I'm gonna make you come alive
You can fly, reach for the sky
It's the rise of the morning glory
Scream and shout, cry it out loud
We are coming back to life
Now open you eyes
Witness the rise
Rise of the morning glory
When you're the next to me
You're gonna see...
Woahoo...
Everyday they're wounding your pride
Try to break you
And make you let go
The dreams you once have had
They'll never understand
There is a bastion that won't ever fall
Our passion, our magic, our fire
Let them run us down
I couldn't care less about
There is no time to waste
You better quicken up you pace
You can fly, reach for the sky
It's the rise of the morning glory
Scream and shout, cry it out loud
We are coming back to life
Now open you eyes
Witness the rise
Rise of the morning glory
When you're the next to me
You're gonna see...
Loads of times on the losing end
It's the same old situation
Just another constellation
Daggers drawn with a steady head
You push the aggravation
To your final destination
Cut me out in card board
Use me as a dartboard
Down at your feet now
How does it feel now
As you get yourself some
Self-esteem and then some
Heed of your own
In your eyes - in your mind
I'm two out of seven
In your eyes - in your life
Just two out of seven
As you watch my world from the outside
You think that your are strong
And you dream that you belong
You're supreme cause
You know how to spell right
You drown in salivation
You set off from frustration
Living on a card board
Use me as a dartboard
I know that lately
Your phrasing's been stately
As you get yourself some
Self-esteem and then some
Heed of your own
In your eyes - in your mind
I'm two out of seven
In your eyes - in your life
Maybe two out of seven
In your eyes - in your mind
I'm three out of ten
Out of nine I'm just fine
I'm only whatever
[Solo]
In your eyes - in your mind
I'm two out of seven
In your eyes - in your life
I'm two out of seven
What the fuck? Suck my cock!
I'm only a seven out of twelve
When I wank at the bank
Don't place your trust in foolish promises sworn
Nor cryptic messages scrawled upon every wall
Street corner justice beware
The spirit will find you always be fair.
The shallow verse once read means nothing at all
Nor fearful gestures made for instant recall
In lies your heart will not share
The spirit inside used without care.
The spirit that guides you follow it through
To the spirit inside you always be true
You know you'll despair
If the spirit inside is used without care.
The battlefield of glory pales into rust
The river flows much thicker fed by each thrust
No beast alive does compare
The spirit beside you everywhere.
Let not your head be turned by tainted reward
And dreams of fortune won forever to hoard
Your conscience could not repair
The spirit inside used without care.
The spirit that guides you follow it through
To the spirit inside you always be true
You know you'll despair
If the spirit inside is used without care.
[Solo ]
The spirit that guides you follow it through
To the spirit inside you always be true
You know you'll despair
Fire falling from the sky
Rage of god is coming down
Armaggeddon´s drawing nigh
Sinner cry! Heather die!
Hear the toll of pain, gloria, gloria
In the fiery rain
Fire falling from the sky
Rage of god is coming down
Armaggeddon´s drawing nigh
Sinner cry! Heather die!
Hear the toll of pain, gloria, gloria
Now the time has come, the end´s begun
And the only one will come
[Gabriel:]
It has been foretold
By the visions of the old
And the madness in their eyes
Said his angel will arise
That´s what they know: "Holy Lord it´s over, oh god
We have done no wrong
So we go where we belong
To the neverending dream
But for those who lived in sin"
They claim to know: "Holy Lord it´s over, oh god"
[Pope:]
Hey Angel, can you tell me
Will you lead us to the place
Full of heat, in the fire
For we only brought disgrace
[Lugaid:]
He is not the one. If they only knew.
[Bishop:]
Hey Angel, will you take us
To the judgement of his rage
Hey will we die
For we couldn´t close the gate
[Lugaid:]
To the knowledge as they have been told
[Gabriel:]
I don´t know how could I prove
Nothing but the cloven hoof
Reigning over them as well
While they keep on fighting hell
Babylon the scarlet whore has come
We are the seven, judgement of heaven
Why don´t we know: We are the angels
It´s revelation, soul castigation
Fire will burn us away
We are the seven, judgement of heaven
Why don´t we know: We are the angels
It´s revelation, soul castigation
Fire will burn us away
[Pope:]
Redeemer, devastion
Hope it only has been ment
For the sin of the dreamer
who broke the lay you´d sent
[Lugaid:]
He is not the one. If they only knew.
[Jakob:]
Hey, don´t know but I wondered:
When we lost the seal again
Maybe stoned by the incense
Do we rise or just descent
[Lugaid:]
He is not the one. If they only knew.
[Gabriel:]
I don´t know how could I prove
Nothing but the cloven hoof
Reigning over them as well
While they keep on fighting hell
Babylon the scarlet whore has come
We are the seven, judgement of heaven
Why don´t we know: We are the angels
It´s revelation, soul castigation
Fire will burn us away
We are the seven, judgement of heaven
Why don´t we know: We are the angels
It´s revelation, soul castigation
Fire will burn us away
[Solo: Henjo Richter]
[Voice in the tower:]
Woe to you longing for the winsdom
Woe to you longing for the light
All my sons bring me back what is mine
Or you´ll end burning in this night
Woe to you longing for the winsdom
Woe to you longing for the light
All my sons bring me back what is mine
Or you´ll end burning in this night
[Solo: Timo Tolkki]
[Gabriel:]
Once I have been lost in what they told me to believe
Until I felt in burning deep inside to set my spirit free.
And I escaped to another world to help the little men
who make me plunge into philosophy - to feel my
mind again...No one left to hold me tight - on the
'real' other side - but her in chains
I had been alone till the madman came along
With the knowledge and silver long beard
He was the first man ever teaching how I could be free
Helping me to find - oh - the mind and the soul
They´ve been trying to hide it away...
And he promised we´d help Anna if I´d help him to
go all the way
[Ludgaid:]
Go all the way into the world of minds
Open the gate and do not close behind
Prevent them from hiding the light away
Prevent them from tellin´us tales
Or the end of all they scare us with will be a
million empty brains...
[Gabriel:]
I could bring you what you told me
The seal they need to close the gate forever
But still I haven´t found a meaning
Anna will we ever be together
[Regrin:]
You´ve been fighting for your soul
And sometimes it takes a toll
Hope one day you´ll understand
What it means to hold in hands
What they call a fantasy
It is nothing but a key
To the world that now you´re in
That they call a wicked dream.
[Elderane:]
When you´re walking on your own
When you´re broken and alone
You may fell us from inside -
On the other side of life.
Ohohohoh...
[Gabriel:]
I´ve been fighting for my soul
And sometimes it takes a toll
Hope one day we´ll understand
What it means to hold in hands
What we call a fantasy
But it´s nothing but a key
To the world that now I´m in
That we call a wicked dream.
Oh, walking on my own
When I´m broken and alone
I may feel you from inside
Here I'm standing at the junction of my life
So many ways, I don't know witch one is the right
Do I wanna keep it up or throw it all away
Or close my eyes, go on and live just for today
I'm alive, I'm alive
We're gonna dive into madness of life
Heat stroke and nuts, don't live a lie
No one to blame, we don't play your game
We don't give a fuck, we're savage united
Savage united we stand!
Life is what happens to you while you're making plans
It's time to find your mental equilibrium again
Pedal to the metal and hit the passing lane
Kill the demons, cut the crap, quit their wicked game
I feel high, hell I'm high
Oh yeah!
Thirsting for salvation
You're off to find the stairway
Novice on you never ending ride
Whatever you may find dare to take it higher
Here's you instigation on your trip into the light
Standing at the temple
Where the wizard shall arise
You listen to the beauty of a song
A melody of promise calling from the dark
Tear down the portal and then go on and
Come and fly away with me
And you eyes are gonna see it all
And sleep with the fire - do you feel with me
Go obtain divinity, be the one you wanna be
And don't be afraid to give in
A ride into the shadows
The piper never dies, never dies
Ride into the shadows
The piper never dies, never dies
Entities are screaming, enticing from inside
Creatures you had never ever seen
And on the back of haughtiness
You leave into the light
The spirit on a mission in the shell of a beast
The ferryman is gentle
And promises are made
The other side may hold a lot to see
He's gonna take you over
And then he'll name the fare
Oh you gamble with the devil, fool
The ferryman is me
Come and fly away with me
And you eyes are gonna see it all
And sleep with the fire - do you feel with me
Go obtain divinity, be the one you wanna be
And don't be afraid to give in
A ride into the shadows
The piper never dies, never dies
Ride into the shadows
The piper never dies, never dies
Balance on the edge of day an night
Not afraid of falling
Time has come to see all wrong from right
Something's calling
Heaven and hell is it all the same
And just a different grade
Now I gotta know the point of change
Where love turns to hate
Balance on the edge of day and night
Dive into haze and kiss the light
Many of the tales you've been told
Never written for the brave an bold
Come and take my hand tonight
Come and sleep with me tonight
Certainly I'm gonna take you there
Showing you around everywhere
Oh...
Do you believe that you're devil-may-care
As you jump into the fire
Do you believe that you're devil-may-care
As you jump into the fire
Dreamer, dreamer, dreamer...
A ride into the shadows
The piper never dies, never dies
Ride into the shadows
The piper never dies, never dies
Ride into the shadows
The piper never dies, never dies
Ride into the shadows
The piper never dies, never dies
You go on - into the night
Alright, the piper never dies, I got you hypnotised
Come with me and witness, see Babylon arise
The whore in fading light, let us step inside
I got you paralyzed child, the piper never dies
The pied piper play the song, beautiful but strong
He was never born, never he'll be gone
Oh the pied piper never dies
From the cradle of silence and of light
It took a birth in human blood - angels cry -
To the ages of violence and of hate
To explore the left hand path I came alive
Into my striding, the shell of a god in the cold
My soul is just hiding, my spirit haunting on to control
Flame of the Nile, fire in the darkness
To swallow the light
Behold the ghost of a god
God from the Nile, eternally roaming
To swallow the light
Behold the spirit of a pharaoh,
Pharaoh, pharaoh, no!
[solo: Jens]
To the world of spirits he's sailling on and on
Why magician don't you feel they broke the seal
Cyril's facing the tyrant everywhere
Far away from his grave, Seth is free
Roaming through ages
Begetting advice for your kings, yow...
Leading the stages
Of history that's bound to my strings, no, no, no...
[repeat chorus]
[solo: Jens]
Don't you see that it's coming, it's near
The wise man screamed in the noble chamber
Just a parrot in a rich man's cage
He's a jester on the count
The wise man died and the seance went on
And the red one reigned in the noble chamber
In dreams of a masterplan
For a billion parrots in a big cage
Afraid of the eyes that shine in the darkness
You don't realize, afraid in the haze
You point at the man that grins in your nightmare
And don't realize the mirror you gaze into
You don't wanna see the spirits behind sceneries
[solo: Jens]
I guide your way I make you stay alive
My servants taught you know how to survive
The way of light is food for your soul
But it's your belly that's taken control
No guiding light would shine anymore
It's just the red god replacing the core
He'll rise again to open up the gate
We have to learn for our future, our fate...
[solo: Both]
[repeat Chorus]
The ghost of a god...
Watching the eventide, the sun will hide and sleep
My heart's beat is slow. I'm thinking about my belief
Rain washing over me cleaning up my brain
Till I question all my thoughts
And clean ¨m up from stains
Clean em up from stains
Clean em up from stains, yeah
Die free, yeah!
[Solo: Jens]
Welcome to the circle of those who know their way
Welcome to those who`ve realized their needs
Who don't need fear to pray and betray
But they don`t accept us living free
Believing what we need
Haven`t heard anything about poetry
They only know their painful greed
[Pre-chorus]
Don`t ever trust those who say they know
Those who show and force you to bow
I`ve done no wrong but to ask my brain
To be free from pain built up by those who reign
[Chorus]
A mind in disguise - now I know
It's better to hide my belief than feeding the crow
A life on the run - now I know
The kingdom of disguise is the last place to go
In the eyes of the world I'm a master of heresy
Swimming against the tide - endangering democracy
I remember the day when I was young and bold
When I thought that my mind was free
Until the time that I was told
[Repeat * Solo: Jens]
Out in the night they laugh about me and my Knowledge and
Speak prayers our god don`t want to hear. But listen:
Wherever you are, I will get you! Well, you don`t know who
I am? I am the inquisition and I am your heretics
Barbarian end!
[Solo: Both * Dominik * Both]
Beware and be silent and follow the sign
Keep the mission as a secret of your mind
One out of a million is a friend of your line
Don`t forget there are evil eyes behind
[Solo: Jens]
Holding the candle she was found in the rain
Bright eyes and blissful but they thought
That she went astray
Too late to escape, she seemed to be insane
She got imprisoned because she got her own way
[Solo: Both]
[Inquisitor:]
Now can`t you remember?
What have you done?
[Accused:]
Believe me, I`m innocent. I`ve done no wrong!
[Inquisitor:]
But you are strange! You are guilty I guess!
And after the torture you will confess......and burn!
Ending in the flames, burning down her fame
Prayers to the saints, their end of an evil game
Run to your last refuge
Maybe the silence of your voice
Lie but be true to yourself
Sometimes you`ve got no choice
Follow a king called silence
Live in his kingdom of disguise
There is a temple of shelter
Where god forgives you your lies.
[Repeat]
I can see it bright here in front of your eyes
The apparition never dies
Staring into the lake, watching for heaven´s sake
faces screaming in fear.
Crying like at the stake, in the fiery waves
I can see all the souls how they suffer and howl
in their eternal pain
Service talking its toll, living life in hades.
All the souls that left their mortal
frame if it´s been dead or not
All the deaf who did not hear the truth
Get ready for the brimstone -
getting blisters on the eyes
The power of the spirit was their final sacrifice
Get ready for the brimstone -
getting blisters on the eyes
The power of the spirit was their final sacrifice
[Jacob´s voice:]
Someone pullin´ me out to come back to my flesh
Or I´m going insane!
In a world under Rome, in the fiery waves
Can´t you see all the souls, how we suffer and howl
In our eternal pain
Service talking to the toll, living life in hades...
Oh I see you standing on the
shore of castigation now
We don´t wanna burn no more so pull us out, out, out
Get ready for the brimstone -
getting blisters on the eyes
The power of the spirit was our final sacrifice
Get ready for the brimstone -
getting blisters on the eyes
The power of the spirit was our final sacrifice
Get ready!
[Solo: Jens Ludwing]
When you cross the edge inside
reach out for the stranger
As you sign the deal tonight
Icarus's your only guide
See the haggard child of sun
To the tempting fires you run
Pass the gate and realize
Casting evil eyes
Down at your dark lab
you threw some tarot cards
Reading the fiery truth
alchemist you were right
the vision's alive
The devil and the savant
Gaze away
Far away
Alchemist you're free
inside of your prison
The devil and the savant
Take a light,
Getting sight of a revelation forced:
the chemical wedding day...
He appears at your desire
Does your bidding - always
Lights the candle in the dark
See the blood - oh - of us all
Think you force him to expose
All above and all below
You're never able to unveil
what you had to feel...
Taming your seraph but who is in control
Rain pouring down from
Beyond this grey shroud of mystery above
The goblet of memories is filling
Yet it can't appease your thirst for love
Salutation - invocation of the light
Of a spark to ignite
Tie the will and watch your dream
Tie your thoughts and they'll convene
The guild of ages
Tie your will, align your mind
Let them raise the blind
The guild remains arcane
In the eyes of this world
Out in the cold you turn inside
You're aware of the sacred tie
Watch: as above so below
You feel us standing by your side
Salutation - invocation of the light
Of a spark to ignite
Tie the will and watch your dream
Tie your thoughts and they'll convene
The guild of ages
Tie your will, align your mind
Let them raise the blind
The guild remains arcane
Gaze at the leaving clairvoyant
Predicting invasions and pain
A child cansee through the stranger...
The Watcher's eye, the noble liar
It's time for the merchant and his help for sale...
Blades to cut wicked flesh
On a merchantman he counts his money
Then he sails away
The sea he'll cruise is blood and fire
Oh father I can't see a lane
They make you a pawn in the game
For we all are deaf, dumb and blind
After the storm when the magic has gone
Drown in the tears of a mandrake
Pawn in the game, invisible chains
Try to move, you'll feel as they graze
After the storm when the magic has gone
Drown in the tears of a mandrake
Fading away, the final decay
Try to move, break out from your chains
When you're off to the hall of the serpent
See the cynic who's counting his gold
While gun runners, priests and clairvoyants
Are dancing around the rising demon
You are taught to eat up all the crap they shit
Parading your nuts on a silver plate
Kill your brother by the blade they sell
For you don't unite
They reap your bondage sowing evil
There's no use to tell what I've seen
They know how to make you believe
Just what they want you to know
[repeat chorus/ solo: Jens/both/Jens/both]
Tears of a mandrake - yeah...
[solo: Jens/Both]
[repeat chorus]
Drown in the tears of the mandrake
City lights are calling
Slowly coming back to life
Speeding in the fastlane
Mama let us waste no time
Devil in the doorway selling any kind of hell
We're just coming out to play the game
We never cry for love - we're superheroes
We are back where we belong
We never cry for pain - we're superheroes
Make a stand where we belong
Way too long I've tried to be
What I could never be
For too long you've rolled the dice
But you can't control me
I ain't talking 'bout romance
You may fiddle I may dance
Anyway it's just a game we play..
We never cry for love - we're superheroes
We are back where we belong
We never cry for pain - we're superheroes
Make a stand where we belong we're superheroes
You gotta move to stay alive
We're gonna rock the bash tonight..
Cry for love-we're superheroes
We are back where we belong
Welcome to this wonderworld
Everybody take your sledges
Winterland Plutocracy
Down the slope don't fear the hedges
Everybody in their box
Waiting under rights of action
Raise your heads and hold your breath
I can't stand your putrefaction
I can smell your brain decay
As you look down at the stage and
Drive me mad and then insane
Welcome to the show
You've been waiting for the one
To bring you joy and ecstasy
And you've been waiting for a song
And you demand to feel the tragedy
But when it's right out of control
And it's not your song anymore
And you are ready to forget
The truth that you'd been asking for
I'm not afraid to sacrifice
And I don't care bout your advice
As I spread my wings and fly
No love - it's pain you've come to feed
In mental strain I crawl and bleed
You make me please
Forever roaming
You will hear it scream
The cries of Speedhoven
Forever roaming
Every starless night
You will hear the cries
You'll never get:
I'll never be the one that you want me to be
And all the treasures that you hold
All your diamond rings and gold
All your flake and look and tongue
I have tried and it was wrong
You tried to push me up a notch
But all I made was an itchy crotch
Fornication, ass galore
I wanted love and I want more
Muckrakers waiting for the prey
Muckrakers want me to obey
But you will never own me
Though you pay
This opera is haunted they will say
That's where they've driven the light insane
Forever roaming
You will hear it scream
The cries of Speedhoven
Forever roaming
Every starless night
You will hear the cries
Forever roaming
You will hear it scream
The cries of Speedhoven
Forever you'll hear it scream
In a cold winter night I had a vision
Taking me by my hand
Leading me to the door
To rescue me from the wastelands
The glance of the shining ivories
A world that they can't understand
Out of sound, out of reason
The voice of their laughter was gone
Taken away, time for a change
I'm walking over
Flying away, flying away
Dying into another world
Pure and divine
And the laughter dies
Welcome to this wonderworld
Everybody take your sledges
Winterland Plutocracy
Down the slope don't fear the hedges
Forever roaming
You will hear it scream
The cries of Speedhoven
Hey there pal won't you gimme an ear
Gimme your everything and keep your fear
Godly voices telling me what to do
They're out for palpitation
Then leave you to your desperation
Take you and tie you and run over you
There's no resistance to the cry of the sirens
Calling you - a razor edge affair
You close your eyes boy
She tears your lids in two
Never even try to miss she's there
And then when the time pieces shatter
I am baptized by the attar
Right into heavens door
[Chorus:]
Sex Fire Religion
Visionary position
Angel in your temple of pleasure
Sex Fire Religion
I been granted admission
Angel in your temple of love
Wicked wild m'am with a bag full of tricks
And up shit creek there I'm stuck in a fix
Strikes like a bolt from the blue
The siren baits with lubrication
Then she steals your habitation
Rides you and ties you and runs you
Maybe she don't know love
But she knows how to make it
Divinity is running down her skin
In the city of evil we touch the sky
Let the ride to paradise begin
And when the time pieces shatter
I am baptized by the attar
Kick down into the pie
The sound of explosions, the children awake
The turn of the tide acts up, the ground it starts to quake
A pile of dented steel, in fear I realize
Behind the shuttle's windshield two evil shinig eyes
Highspeed alien drum bunny - Highspeed alien drum bunny
Handcuffed they take the stranded straight into their lab
Examine him, his DNA, what you give is what you will get
He takes his magic carrot, a bang and drums appear
He starts to play like thunder, mandkind flee to save your hearing
Highspeed alien drum bunny - Highspeed alien drum bunny
Save us now, somebody - Save us now, someone
From highspeed A.D.B.
Save us now, somebody - Save us now, someone
From highspeed A.D.B.
Bum Bum Bunny B., life is a drag I can tell
But let me count to four and then you play the roll of hell
One, two, one, two, three, four...
[hoplle-roll of hopple-hell bu the protagonist]
[solo: Both/Jens]
Highspeed alien drum bunny - Highspeed alien drum bunny
Hi fish, alien drum bunny - Hasi, alien drum bunny
[repeat chorus]
[Anonymous protagonist encouraging the cheering masses:]
Waiting for a little sign
Seems like to no avail
Strolling down the pavement aimlessly
Waiting for someone
To snatch her bag of memories
How come you call it destiny
When the cross you bear is your only company?
Never seen you, I don't even know your name
But still I believe
That you are gonna save me
Somehow I got a notion
Just a little affection on this cold and windy road
Save me from a state of unemotion
Just a little affection on this windy road..
Why is it all so confusing?
Why does growing up hurt so bad?
We seek and we get lost
We get found and go again
And I don't know what's gonna be...
I won't make any promise I believe
[Corus]
I don't know if I can
I don't know if I should
I don't know what is right and what's to come if you would
Here I stand in the rain
Here I stand in the cold
I'm reluctant to get another shot in my soul... no
I'm afraid of that hole...
[Corus]
Save me, save me...
Too much time to get lost in the maze
Tell me, isn't that strange
You bleed to get there - you were ready
To be a bird in a golden cage
Sweat is breaking on my brow
Where's the freak to ease my pain
Room is dark and big and empty
Silence driving me insane
Night has fallen - demons laughing
I'm waiting for the light of day
Here's the land of milk and honey
There you got the price to pay
Searching for shelter
Riding the pendulum to paradise
As I'm reaching higher - what a pure desire
I'm swinging back towards the edge
And I drift away - killing sacrifice
Here I go insane
What a price to pay - little sacrifice
I set off to Heaven and found bedlam
There's a part of me that has not been sold
Save me please embrace me hold me
Kiss my bleeding soul
You can't see below the creature
That's pounding, sitting in my neck
If you'd see inside my head
You surely wouldn't turn your back on me
I'm looking for shelter
Riding the pendulum to paradise
As I'm reaching higher - what a pure desire
I'm swinging back towards the abyss
And I drift away - killing sacrifice
Here I go insane
What a price to pay - little sacrifice
I set off to Heaven and found bedlam
Nothing remains the same
But still I hear those voices
Nothing remains the same
Where am I gonna go is it my destination
Or just a sick temptation
And I remember home when demons came
I'm feeling this time
As bad as never before
A bleeding wag is fading away
Once you needed me
For spending delight
But below the funny mask
There's a crying face
The way that I smile is the way that I cry
But you'll never realize
My reputation is the one of a fool
Now watch how poet dies
Hear his cries
[Chorus]
And I dedicate my roses to no one
Cause there is no mind to help me to see
The reason we need
A light for the lonesome
And no one to drink
The blood that I bleed
The poet in my own, was not giving some chances
And from the moment on, i lived apart
And I realized - that i am my best fiend
And not those parasites
Who try to stare into my heart
The way that I feel is the way that I heal
My body and soul and my life
And I know you just think I'm a fool
Now watch how a poet flies, watch him rise
[Chorus]
And I dedicate my roses to no one
Cause there is no mind to help me to see
The reason we need
A light for the lonesome
And no one to drink
The blood that I bleed
[Solo: Jens]
[Chorus]
And I dedicate my roses to no one
Cause there's no mind to help me to see
The reason we need
A light for the lonesome
And no one to drink the blood that I bleed
And I dedicate my roses to no one
Cause there's no mind to help me to see
The reason we need
A light for the lonesome
I sought salvation but I found insanity
Lost in a mess I return to profanity
I've been reaching for the sky
But I got stuck with my feet down in concrete
Don't you run away now - Don't you be afraid
You know there is a meaning - woah
Don't you run away now - Don't you live a lie
There's more in life than struggle - Take a rocket ride
Suffered my way with divine aspiration
I failed to resist the sweetest temptation
Been stuck to religion till I've clung to the pie
You never really miss it until you really try
Tried to jump but held down by concrete
The venery surrounding my feet
Oh I've tried to reach higher
On and on but my flesh is too weak
Been searching for answers - I've been led to the fire
There must be a reason for us to be down here
Oh I'm drifting - temptation
Carried out to sea - I'm drifting - I'm drifting away
I'm drifting away - I'm drifting away
I've been reaching for the sky
But I got stuck with my feet down in concrete
Crossing these endless graze lands
The rain wants to cloud remains of longing
Or am I done becoming
You say That life will go on
Then you confine your heart to beating
While you keep on cheating
The road you left behind
A thousand partings of the way
They've tried to cloud your mind
The pilgrim shall betray his cause
High rise up the sky from the emerald
Rock of shelter
High rise kissed by the breeze of creation
Rock of Cashel
You leave that horizon behind
Lime stone and green: your finest hour
Magic will devour the cross you carry
Scales falling from your eyes - yeah
The mysteries of yesterday unfolding
The grace that you're beholding
The skyline you have chased
Time and again you fought the clouds
Been spinning but the
Wheel of Dharma wouldn't let you out
High rise up the sky from the emerald
Rock of shelter
High rise kissed by the breeze of creation
Rock of Cashel
[Solo]
High rise up the sky from the emerald
Rock of shelter
High rise kissed by the breeze of creation
Ride across the endless woods
Shadows got away
Whispers from the fallen leaves?
Moonlight falling through the boughs
When horses
The castle sounds revealing
As we shiver and we shake
Make no sound and run
Run for your lives, run from the cries
Out of the dark of the damned woods
Your day to die
Robin Hood is after you and
He's not in a joking mood, no
You ride or die
He's out for bling again
Caught and made in hundreds
They say there's merry men and wine
He dreams of what he does all day
What a funny life
Never shaves to show his face
Legend has been told
He does all day in shooting, ducking
Running from the law
Liberty, equality, a little love
Women for every outlaw
Go in from jealousy, a pinch of mead for fate
The king for everyone
Who wants to be the same
Make no sound and run
Run for your lives, run from the cries
Out of the dark of the damned woods
Your day to die
Robin Hood is after you and
He's not in a joking mood, no
You ride or die
He's out for bling again
[Spoken:]
Robin Hood, king of thieves
Hero of outlaws, son of a father
Bewareth! He may be after you!
Bewareth!
Ha ha ha ha ha!
The legends... down the rail/road
While the truth has... the boots
It's boots on you
Take what you desire
Make no mistake
Fire and dark
Fire and dark
Let menaces prevail
Stab in the back
Stab in the back
You will never see his face
Fire and dark one more stab in the back
What a day to kill his grace
The legends... down the road/rail
(Blindly honest me?)
While the truth has it's boots
It's boots on you
Make no sound and run
Run for your lives, run from the cries
Out of the dark of the damned woods
Your day to die
Robin Hood is after you and
He's not in a joking mood, no
You ride or die
He's out for bling again
Your day to die
And Robin Hood can't find no one
Who would caress his Little John
You ride or die
Road lies ahead
And a long road lies behind me
I see lights passing by
And I know it's the time of our lives
A million miles
Lightyears I've been travelling
To watch and enjoy this wolrld
And I've seen ass galore
I'm musing over it all
Closing my eyes to remember it all
Embracing the past and the future to come
Kiss the road that leads to my tribe..
I've found my way home
I'll return to where I belong
Back to where I stem from-back to Paradise
Time to return to the tribe!
The other side - always close to the edge
Been walking a thin line
Always knew someone watched my step
A mistery to make it out alive and sane
The battle is over
And I know who's been with me..
Now I'm musing over it all
On top of this world I remember it all
Awaiting that sunrise and sunset at home
Kiss the way that leads me to my tribe
I've found my way home...
I've seen battlefields,drunk drummers
Japanese hotel toilets
When the spotlight is fading
And everyone's gone
When your thoughts come back to life
And you think of what you have done
Take a look in the mirror
And then look to the past
Tell me who you are
And then tell me what's gonna last
And as you take off your disguise
As you dare to open your eyes
To behold the panacea
Embracing your life
Oh, and then you realize
You gotta reach out
To find it all inside of you
As the spotlight fades away
You gotta reach out
To find it all inside of you
And let that spotlight fade away
It's so hard to escape from
Where they say you belong
If they say don't you break the rules
You just got abandon them and then go on
And there won't be anything missin'
There won't be no grief or regret
Oh, let the child inside break free
I'll find the time to be stiff when I'm dead
Don't wanna be trapped in a disguise
I want it all and I wanna rise
And I dive in the panacea
Embracing my life
Open my eyes
Reach out!
To find it all inside of you
As the spotlight fades away
You gotta reach out
To find it all inside of you
And let that spotlight fade away
Reach out!
Find it all inside of you
As the spotlight fades away
Reach out!
Find it all inside of you
I can´t figure the Lord down in funereal gravity
One finishing touch and the creature is coming alive
As I kneel down and pray
I know God is watching over me
Is He´s Knocking me out of my stride
And on day number eight
When the sun is about to go down
Here we go,what a show
What a nose for blow
You´re alive said the maker and smiled at the aardvark
You´re divine by the grace of the master above
You´re alive said the maker and smiled at the aardvark
You´re divine by the grace of the master above
Hey Frankenstein are you the one I think you are
Godfather If we´re divine you are bizarre
I hear you laughing from the loge above
At my expense for your entertainment
Hey lord above why don´t your armies ever smile
Gotfather why don´t they ever dress in style
And never share the humor that you surely have
Creating me for your entertainment
Why do they have to get married
Before they do what they do
Everyday anyway, when there´s hell to pay
You´re alive said the maker and smiled at the aardvark
You´re divine by the grace of the master above
You´re alive said the maker and smiled at the aardvark
You´re divine by the grace of the master above
We fold our hands afraid of what we´ve done
Fear is the key to you-thy kingdome come
You shake your head and have another wine
Dont´t you almost die laughing wondering why
Running in the dust, running in the dust
Afraid of the hail stones cold as icce
Running in the dust, running in the dust
Straight to the waselands
We´ll never read your sings
Running in the dust, running in the dust
Afraid of tomorrow
Afraid of what we´ve done
Running in the dust, running in the dust
You´re the disciples of the big bad wolf or what
You´re alive said the maker and smiled at the aadvark
You´re divine by the grace of the master above
You´re alive said the maker and smiled at the aadvark
You´re divine by the grace of the master above
You´re alive, oh you´re alive
You´re alive, the pride of creation
Oh you´re the pride of creation, yes you are
(I am a) sacred king in a sacred kingdom
You know me just as royality
Lookin' kind so you don't see
I wanna steal your virginity
I was born to feign an angel
The evil knowns just how to hide
I sold my soul only to rise
To build up powers that you can't fight
Watch me standing proudly
Till I wake the animal
At night we bite we fight
We are power and majesty
At night we bite we fight
We are power and majesty
I am a master of disguise
And hate to be your marionette
And I won't care if you'll be hangin'
Shut fuckin' up and be my bed
I am a reckless animal
Spitting out a sacred lie
Till you know my perversity
Is to "play" and kill and finally die
"Hey baby, I wanna excuse me for
My bad habits, close your eyes
God, oh please bear with me, as you're looking from above
Elementary question: what do you take as love?
Badlands all around me, I got animal inside
God oh please forgive me for my sins
And for I enjoy this ride
Woe to you o earth and flood
For the devil sends the beast
Tell your dreaming son about the rain to come
Make him rescue us by sea
Creeping, crawling on all fours
It's down to push and shove
The juggernaut is full, let's close the doors
And the ride is on
Wastelands are waiting to be found another day
Ride across the ocean, fly by the stars
Pandora's Box is under weigh
Turmoil on the pleasure boat, the pigeon can't be seen
Look! The serpent's shape bespeaks: the problem lies within
On this sea of sadness, unknown destination sought
But we cross your shady ocean on our Yacht
And the ride is on
Wastelands are waiting to be found another day
Ride across the ocean, we fly by the stars
Strong on your feet, you were blinded
Building up a towar on shaking ground
Once in a world full of colors
Back to see just ruins there to be found
And now you're falling, crawling
Diggin in the broken remains
Of what had to be taken for strong
Slowly it's been fading away
Come into the painting on the wall
So the joker smiles
Come into the painting on the wall
No more crying
Illusions let you in from the rain
Follow Mr. Hopkins, get insane
Stories are told - wanna hear him
Talking from the picture to your head
Follow the call of a puppet
Led into a black room painted red
Where life is painless, brainless
You don't think of broken remains
Of what had to be taken for strong
Slowly it's been fading away
[repeat chorus]
[solo: Jens]
Look at the picture
Point at the child there on the floor
Don't know where I come from
Don't know where to go
Don't know if I know
What is good to be known
I wonder if madness
Is just a child
Of my urge to know
The more that I ask
The more I get down
A million times
My quest for life is pain
But still it has not made me going insane
And I long for more
For a trace of life
Tearing down all doors
For a trace of life
You tell me you wonder
If wondering is heaven or hell
You say that you've got the view
On the dark side of life
You can't see the shadows
The others can see
But you can see it's well:
The sun and the day
The light in the sky
A million times
Your quest for life has been pain
Alright!
When they'd found him without name
He was cries resounding from the waste
He'd been thrown away
He'd never speak but he could see
Eyes of a child and certified insane
Sent down a tearful lane
Coming out of nowhere
No past and no way to go
His final drops of pride make the show go on
Running from the sun: Nobody's Hero
Figures down the drain to hunker down in shadows
Running from the sun: Nobody's Hero
Down the boulevard of unborn dreams
A little odd but then okay
On rally tracks until she went astray
Got lost along the way
All the knew: You gotta run
They found the treadmill but she was gone
Her smile to chase
Fly into the darkness
No past, no future to come
Final drops of pride make the show go on
Running from the sun: Nobody's Hero
Figures down the drain to hunker down in shadows
Running from the sun: Nobody's Hero
Down the boulevard of unborn dreams
[Solo]
Nobody's Hero
Figures down the drain to hunker down in shadows
Running from the sun: Nobody's Hero
Silence - it ain't the kill but the thrill of the chase
Same old story, same old song
Only the names have changed
Fair warning - I could have read your mind in time
By the look in your eyes
Like diamonds turning to ashes
Ties frayed and missed your signs
Now I can't get over you
Cannot get under somebody else
I close my eyes
[Chorus:]
When all I see is you, you came to drain my love away
But it takes nine lives till it's over
All I see is you, you came to drain my life away
But I got nine, I got nine lives till it's over
All my supplications gone unheard
Your head in my crotch has turned to a boot
But you won't hear a word
Salvation - I ride into nowhereand out of nowhere I'll come
The twinge in your brain, the pang pf regret
Don't mess with no son of a gun
I'm gonna get over this
Gotta get under somebody else
I close my eyes
[Chorus 2x]
Countless pointing fingers
A nameless crowd too swollen to analyse
Takes a rise out of the stranger
Don't know where he's come from
Bumfuck raises birds of paradise
They surmise- very wise
One night they witnessed
How he lit his backdoor winds
Fire turned the night into day
And they prayed, fell on their knees
And turned their glances off his face,
And they knew they have been chosen to obey
Pardon me
Raise a graven image
I'm the new messiah for the world
You can't see the splendor of my nimbus
But I'm the new messiah for the world
For the blind
The word shall spread like wildfire
Here you got a new messiah holding sway
Delightful game
Don't you give away: I'm no redeemer
But bring me grapes and diamonds right away
And a maid to lay...
One day oblivion will swallow up my fame
The common run of mankind will forget my name
Forget my name
Like a phoenix rising someone else is gonna reign
Till then you know that you are to obey me
Pardon me...
Gluttony and extasy, there's velvet on my dais
Lions, ladies, rotaries they never spare with praise
A million pointing fingers
Have turned to clapping hands
Now I'm off to Betty Ford,
See you in hell my friends
Pardon fucking me, who the fucking fuck is Jesus
I'm the motherfucking new messiah
For the fucking world :)
The desert in the blazing sun
I feel my throat is burning
The guard is incorruptible
You name it vanity and yearning - oh
Now - dusty wind into my face
We gotta build it higher and higher
The sun god whipping from above
Your child in chains of desire
And craving towers
From the desert towards the sky
The grind of the genius
Who's raising his own decline
And the navigator is heading for hell
Setting off on a journey
And he'll never return
And the navigator he rose and the fell
In quest for heaven
He'll never return
Hey the seeker reaching for the stars
Beyond the scope of profanity
Oh and when he tried to touch the light
Fire burned his sanity away
Oh I gotta see it all
Tempting deities I hear them
But then when you follow their call
Pride goes before the fall
And the navigator is heading for hell
Setting off on a journey
And he'll never return
And the navigator he rose and the fell
In quest for heaven
Good intentions pave the way of the human child
Heading for the fork as you walk the path of life
A spell cast from the hiding woods, don't you close your eyes
The snake is waiting anytime to penetrate your mind
Don't you hear voices whispering, incline to walk down
Don't you see the shadow on the wall, angel eyes... the one cast out to fall
Calling me to look up to the sky we follow but we never know oh why
A vision revealing a child down where I've sure never been
An angel who's touching the flame, oh the angel is me
Nailed, nailed to the wheel - Nailed, let the cut run deep
Nailed, nailed to the wheel - Nailed, I said go - let bleed! - Go, - let bleed!
[solo: Jens]
Feel it crawl, feel the magic coming over like a daze
Welcome as the poison for the cornered snake
Taste of sin, bitter sweet, never, never let us go
But never, never, never is a price we'd pay to grow
They call it original sin, some call it divine
The moment the evil appeared... the chance to decide
[repeat chorus]
From children in cradles to hangmen who smile
Lick up the blood from the blade of your knife
Walk the stairway, leading down, ride on fire, take the crown
Your mind could be strong but your flesh will be mine
He's offering those kingdoms, they all could be thine
Rising powers, tempting gold, but at what price would it be sold?
Is it really the treasure of gold
Or the dance in the rainbow itself
Bound to a track
Painting over the cracks
In his dreams they'd put up on the shelf
Little wind-up soldier
With a ball and a chain
Got destinations engraved on your mind
Now you don't care as long
As you don't make it there
You wanna fly but not arrive
Calling you, calling you
You are the one to hear them
Calling you, calling you
Calling you, calling you
And you daddy won't approve
And when no one's awake anymore
He paints a picture of a strange looking fly
From a distant world
You light and lo and behold
It's coming alive
Calling you, calling you
You always hear them speak
Derring-do, derring-do
Calling you, calling you
From a distant burning star
You wanna fly so you drag on flies
Drag on dragonflies
From a suffocating room on a dragonfly
You're riding high when you nasalize
What you pulverize
Make your day and dream away on a dragonfly
Mayday mayday
I ain't fond of smoking
The buzzer knows in dire straits
Selfless without intention
Too late to intermediate
Smoking kills
Calling you, calling you
You are the one two three four
Calling you, calling you
Calling you, calling you
And your daddy won't approve
You wanna fly so you drag on flies
Drag on dragonflies
From a suffocating room on a dragonfly
You're riding high when you nasalize
What you pulverize
Make your day and dream away on a dragonfly
You wanna fly so you drag on flies
Drag on dragonflies
From a suffocating room on a dragonfly
You're riding high when you nasalize
What you pulverize
Make your day and dream away on a dragonfly
You wanna fly so you drag on flies
Drag on dragonflies
From a suffocating room on a dragonfly
You're riding high when you nasalize
What you pulverize
Make your day and dream away on a dragonfly
You wanna fly so you drag on flies
Drag on dragonflies
From a suffocating room on a dragonfly
You're riding high when you nasalize
What you pulverize
Make your day and dream away on a dragonfly
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Freakshow
Oh yeah...
The world around is killing me
No thunder win and rain
Eel are crawling everywhere
Compounding with the game
Grind the army, the living dead, without destination
The faceless crowd is out to kill all kinds of variations
You're trying to trample down my dreams
A shot in the dark
Mysteria - the spirit arising
Eldritch cries form the hill
Mysteria - fires are blazing
Their wicked feast is shattering the still oh
Seven days and nights a week
Spinning like a wheel
You try to buckle, bend and break
And polish stainless steel
Raging fury in the sky burning with desire
Self-determination rising from the fire
You're trying to trample idown my dreams
My disdained ideals
Beware of the difference
You've savage and mean - we're a
Mysteria - the spirit arising
Eldritch cries form the hill
Mysteria - fires are blazing
Their wicked feast is shattering the still oh
Evil is the dreamer to pit himself
Against the forces of the tide
You pay the seer to portray
What you wanna hear what he has seen that night
Oh - unholy is the feast
Watch un dance around the blazing hellfire
And Lucifer arises he appears at my desire
Mysteria - the spirit arising
Eldritch cries form the hill
Mysteria - fires are blazing
When the lights go down you feel it come alive
Driven by the dread of love that never passes by
When the night unfolds a veil across the day
Waiting for the flood to come to wash the stains away
Look at the clouded sky
Poisoned rain, angels cry
Cracks show in the seal
Tonight a thousand angels fall
Heaven's up against the wall
Changes holding sway
We can make you anyone
By the morning we'll be gone
The ministry of saints
You're afraid to disappear beneath the waves
Bread and circus, bread and wine
They rain on your parade
Round and round and round
You're spinning like a wheel
Crying for redemption you break the seventh seal
We're cleansing your soul from sin
Plead for you, angels sing
We're taking pride of place
Tonight a thousand angels fall
Heaven's up against the wall
And change is holding sway
We can make you anyone
By the morning we'll be gone
The ministry of saints
Tonight a thousand angels fall
Heaven's up against the wall
And change is holding sway
We can make you anyone
By the morning we'll be gone
I see your face in a masquerade
I see your made up smile
When the show is over what is left behind?
Its in your eyes, it's in your hair
How come they say opposites attract?
When all you feel is a struggle deep inside?
Don't tell no lies, no more disguise
I'm tracing the matrix of my life
The damage is done, you don't belong
Deep down in the matrix
I'm feeling pushed, from left to right
Is this the way it's meant to be?
Is my destiny crawling on my knees?
Now who is right? And who is wrong?
Who is the one that won't belong?
Who's for real? And who's just pretending to be?
Don't tell no lies, no more disguise
I'm tracing the matrix of my life
The damage is done, you don't belong
Deep down in the matrix
No more lies, no more disguise
Into the matrix
(Into the matrix)
No more lies, no disguise
I'm tracing the matrix
No more...
Lies, no more disguise
I'm tracing the matrix of my life
The damage is done, you don't belong
Deep down in the matrix
No more lies, no disguise
Tracing the matrix of my life
The damage is done, you don't belong
Poor artist went to label, truckloads of money in mind
Rich artist left the buildings
Cause all the labels had been standing in line
And so they signed
Artist wrote rock'n roll history
Concentrated on a album so strong
But business claimed limited editions
Insisting on a additional songs
That was the time when I had been born
When I first saw the light of day
And even if you got a different opinion
From my point of view - needless to say -
That I'm happy to be
Ever if you don't want me to be
The world wouldn't go round without me
I'm a bonus track on my way to Japan
And I'm gonna be spread on Internet
I'm a bonus track, to Brazil and back
Enjoying worldwide fame
They'll screw the industry, pay no royalty
Burn me on CD, all illegally
Chinese bootlegs, Russian piracy
Cuthroat Germans the all copy me
And I don't give a shit, to me it's all the same
As long as I get all the fame
And the girls know my name
I don't give a fucking shit, no, I don't give a shit
Don't give a fucking shit, no, no...
Not a single little fucking shit
Oh this is it... This is it! It!
Oh if only Brazil was not so far
Far away I would swim or walk or ride
But never ever fly
But all the noise of the maniacs there
The seat on my face it's worth to bear
But I don't wanna bounce and die
But then I see a lady in a tight blue dress
I close my eyes, I know what I would go for
Stewardess before the crash
Lavatory love machine
No fear can quell my steam
Lavatory live machine
No cabin fire burn my dream
I'm at you disposal
I gotta get up to see what you ain't gotta hide
Wheeling junk along the aisle
Keep your seat belt fastened
You're whipping with an iron voice
You command
Uh mistress I am in your hands
And when she asks me what I'd like to eat
I realise the domina feels the same
And I reply... What about your pie?
Lavatory love machine
No fear can quell my steam
Lavatory live machine
No cabin fire burn my dream
Lavatory love machine
No broken wings to stop me stream
Lavatory love machine
Honey do you like the way I cream?!
Now if I gotta die
I'll have been stiff and smiling till the crash
Let them know I've been alive
Till I made my final splash
Lavatory love machine
No fear can quell my steam
Lavatory live machine
No cabin fire burn my dream
Don't hear those scary noises
Roaming the plains
Where a number is your name
In a palace
And you'll never fin the door
Oh look into the mirror
Is it what you wanna see
Or just a cuddy toy
The vogue has washed the ashore
No I don't care what you say
Into the darkness I plough my way
I'm striking out for paradise
To be the one I am
We're going down to the devil
We are striking out for paradise
To bedlam below - down to the devil
The mad parade is coming home
Can't you hear the sound
As they make the hammer pound
Rusty nails into a coffin of you size
To bury you alive
You mature until you're ripe
Then they reap you
When you're beautiful enough
In their eyes
They lurk to wall in your belief
Put up glass ceilings that you can't see
To break down the freak
They don't you to be
We're going down to the devil
We are striking out for paradise
To bedlam below - down to the devil
The mad parade is coming home
Oh we're going down
Here's your invitation, your instigation
What do you think when you spit in my face?
How does it feel to accuse and to haze?
Now look at me, I'm not one of your kind,
And I prefer to stay behind.
And walk the wicked way!
We don't wanna be like you,
Don't you get the King Of Fools?
We don't mind your life is trite,
You are the King Of Fools.
We are never gonna be like you,
We don't follow - King of Fools,
You're the blind who lead the blind.
And walk the wicked way!
You feel at ease as you flock with the masses,
What do you see with your heads in their asses?
Keep on railing at what I believe ,
Call me insane and I am proud to be.
And I walk the wicked way!
We don't wanna be like you,
Don't you get the King Of Fools,
We don't mind your life is trite,
You are the King Of Fools.
We are never gonna be like you,
We don't follow - King of fools,
You are the blind who lead the blind!
- Guitar Solo -
We don't wanna be like you,
Don't you get that King of Fools?
We don't mind your life is trite,
You are the King of Fools!
We are never gonna be like you,
We don't follow - King of fools,
You are the blind who lead the blind.
Darkness has covered the Opera house
Something is wrong you can feel..
There's a devil in disguise
A traitor has taken the dais
Catalogue people spend a pityng gaze
What can a man do in such a case?
Aristocratic experta of art vomit all over the place...
And they wish I'd be doomed eternally!
Forever french-frying
You'd love to see me dying
Who's let the peacock in
To rock the house-Opera house?
You want me french-fried and
You'd love to see me fired and
Then kill Judas in the Opera house
Opera house
Huntsmen are rushing around
After the peacock-oh no
The baton is pink and it's clear:he is a queer
He likes it into his rear
Rumors arise he is from outerspace
They're out for the bounty
And still they're amazed
Aristocratic lemmings with a Highsnobiety leer
Get the chef to make peacock fillet steak!
Forever french-frying...
We came from a system far away
-facing your goggle eyes!-
To protect this jolly bedlam from decay
-facing your goggle eyes!-
Who do you think you are
To think you're of a better class?
Who do you think you are
To expect us to kiss your ass?
We've come to chase the monkey off your back
-facin your goggle eyes!-
And we've expected some may sound an attack
-facing your goggle eyes!-
Who do you think you are
To think you're of a higher class?
Who do you think you are
To expect us to kiss your ass?
We're gonna be
Taking the chance-taking the chance
To get you darting a glance-darting a glance
At us to starting to prance-starting the dance
Of the oddballs
Frankenstein is out of control
Donkey has been giving a soul
Flamboyantly he's playing his song
And they can't get it
The nuthead he is going insane
The screwball is igniting the flame
Pandora's box has opened behold
Madness rising!!!!
You say treason but I tell you
There ain't no reason
We just have our share
We don't care as long as we're alive
Love our sound and like to hear:
Where's the chef to make Judas-fillet steak?
Forever french-frying...
Cold in the wind, starless the night
Rain pouring down when the last one arrives
So many stories telling of pain
Are told by the freaks they've been throwing away
Ride out, set off to the sea
Odd fellows, you and me
Sail on to a world far away
That might not exist, we must be insane
Torn and feathered
Put in the pillory my friend
Accused as a fool marching on
In quest for a place they don't know
To Jerusalem
The piper inside, can't you feel him calling
You don't be afraid of the horizon
To Jerusalem
Don't you give in to their fingers pointing
So don't be afraid, you won't crash at the horizon
The dwarf and the giant, children who stray
The dreamer who's walking far off their way
A jester cast out, he can't laugh anymore
Here comes the freakshow... Welcome on aboard
Torn and feathered
They'll never get what you say
Kill what they don't understand
We're the little creatures
Deep inside your mind
Some call us their fantasy
But some do never find
We can teach philosophy
But still we must commend...
The state of our existence
Right into your hand
Welcome to this place in here
Come overstep all your fears...
Where have you all been once
When I was alone?
When I was a hero
In their crazy wicked show
You've sent no little spark
Into my darkened view of life.
Did not make me ask
For what is wrong and what is right.
And still I regret to be here.
I'm dreaming of Anna in tears...
Inside, so deep inside
You will die if I don't dream anymore
Inside, so deep inside
You will die if I don't dream anymore...
Inside, so deep inside
Die if I don't dream anymore
Inside, so deep inside
Die if I don't dream anymore...
Never deamed that I could fall
But something's come over me
Now I'm sitting staring at the wall
Afraid for my sanity, yeah
The sound of your voice
The touch of your skin
Is haunting me, haunting me
I still try to come to my senses
But it's too late now
So I'm taking my chances
I wanna give you my heart
Give you my soul
I wanna lay in your arms
Never let go
Don't wanna live my life without you
But I know when you're gone
Like a fire needs a spark
Like a fool in the dark
Honey, I'll cry for you
Wondering why I'm running scared
From what I believe in
I know that love is just another word
To say what I'm feeling
For once in my life
The future is mine
It's calling me, calling me
I've been searching so long for an answer
But it's too late now
So I'm taking my chances
I wanna give you my heart
Give you my soul
I wanna lay in your arms
Never let go
Don't wanna live my life without you
But I know when you're gone
Like a fire needs a spark
Like a fool in the dark
Honey, I'll cry for you
I wanna give you my heart
Cry for you
I wanna lay in your arms
Cry for you
I wanna give you my heart
Cry for you
I wanna lay in your arms
I can't feel, and I can't see
I'm falling down what's going on with me
Lord in heaven why am I here
Do I live to rise or rise to fall to she'd another tear
One more time I fell that I'm alone
I can't describe it cause it's better to be shown
Feel the darkness covering the spite
Hear me screaming when it's pounding deep inside
Forever I'll be a poisoned thorn
I'll be haunting among your lives
The moment I was born it was time for him to rise
[Chorus]
Deadmaker, deadmaker
Why don't you realize
That he can paralyze you all
[Repeat]
My sorrow created by you
And even me cause I'm a self-destroying fool
I feel the spirit growing deep inside
I don't expect your comprehension
Give us this day all that you showed me
The faith and the glory, till my kingdom comes
Give us this day all that you showed me
The power and the glory, till my kingdom comes
Give me all the stories you told me
The faith and the glory till my kingdom comes
And they say that in our time
All the truth that will fall from grace
Even saints would turn their face
In our time
And they told us that in our days
A different words said in different ways
Have other meanings from he who says
In our time
Give us this day all that you showed me
The power and the glory, till my kingdom comes
Give me all the stories you told me
The faith and the glory till my kingdom comes
And they say that in our time
We would reap from their legacy
And we would learn from what they had seen
In our time
And they told us that in our days
We would know what was high on high
We would follow and not defy
In our time
Give us this day all that you showed me
The power and the glory, till my kingdom comes
Faithless in faith
We must behold the things we see
Give us this day all that you showed me
The power and the glory, till my kingdom comes
Give me all the stories you told me
The faith and the glory till my kingdom comes
Give us this day all that you showed me
The power and the glory, till my kingdom comes
Give me all the stories you told me
The faith and the glory till my kingdom comes
Give us this day all that you showed me
The power and the glory, till my kingdom comes
Give me all the stories you told me
The faith and the glory till my kingdom comes
Till my kingdom comes
Tell me why can't I understand
The feelings deep inside
Why do I try to scratch away the stains
Deep in my heart I feel there's a place
Where love and hate collide
But is everybody who asks for reasons
Destined to go insane
I don't know if I'm right or wrong
The heart of twilight is much too strong
Leaving the pride so I'm stopping to stride
I only dare to hide
[Chorus]
Dying, dying! My mind is what I've lost
My head is dying cold
Dying, dying! My mind is what I've lost
The heart of twilight knows
An old illusion of understanding
Is fading day by day
The apparition of a future vision is black
Everytime I dive in depressions
The colors of life are grey
Father forgive me if I decide to come back
He was born into this world
Living love but he got hurt
And he sighed when he beheld
The bleeding lamb
Blood and tears drip on the ground
Dung the olives on the mount
Love is crucified, made way
For the greed of man
There's no way out of here
No we don't, don't wanna take it no more
No we don't, don't wanna wait forever
Golden dawn, a new age has begun
Golden dawn, in every single one
Don't you run away, don't say it's all too late
Start to ring in the age... The golden dawn
Killing brothers, sick ideals, TV-Show lie and reveal
Poor philistine reasons why to hate a man
It's so easy to give in, do your dirty trick and win
Join those lemmings to the shore and fly but then
Don't complain if you'll drown in the end
Kill to eat, when you're the final one
There's no one to compete
Then find the time to think of a...
[repeat chorus]
[solo: Dirk/Jens/Dirk/Jens/Both]
I saw her coming in high heels
Moving like a queen
A little sweet angel but deep underneath
A mean machine
You're lying in wait to make me a fool
You want me to bite
I'm gonna take the bait and the hunter for afters
I'll take you for a ride
I don't wanna play no games
Cause I'm a bad bad boy-all around
Let me be your Titanic before you know what's going on
I may go down..
Fucking with fire-I'm coming to rock
Got my rocket on fire and I take what I want
Fucking with fire-loaded and cocked
You never miss it until you've begun
With the hair force one
Don't make no mistakes,don't you miss out
On the hell of a time
I'm a real go-getter and there's no doubt
That down the line
I know what you want and I know what you need
Your secret desire got the gloves of a man
The hands of a beast
And my pants on fire
And I don't wanna play no games
Cause I'm a nasty bad boy-all around, around
Let me be your Titanic, before you know what's going on
I'm going down...
Crying on the pyre, feelin' all so strange
When you took my mind to deteriorate, told
Me that you like me, atrocious and deterrent
Lies, you showed me how it is to suffer hate
Celebrate my funeral, vultures on my corpse
Ashes to ashes - me to hell, you think I could
Be dug alive, but you never knew, you're just
Too deaf to hear my forces yell
All your mind is full of hate, you hold the link
To seal my fate, I stare into the light
Now you'll try to burn me, inquisition in our
Time, but I'll tell you what I am
Burning like a frozen candle
Burning like a frozen candle
I can still remember when you called the reaper
Told him how to unlock my door, sleepers
Nights, evil dreams, faces in the window
Sitting by the window
Staring out into the night
Waiting up for the light of day
And the sound of silence
The faintly flaring candle light
Parting has got me
Around to go insane
Alone I try to while away my time
Seconds turn to ages
As I close my eyes and wait
Sometimes I wonder
What's the reason why
We long for someone to embrace
And say hello to say goodbye
Carry on - and I will forever
Longing drives bad memories away
And still I carry on and I will forever
'Cause when I see you smile
I dare to believe again
Is there anybody out there
To keep on looking for
If you don't know then lie to me
Blue eyed for a letdown
If this is what it takes
To maybe see the light...
I'll dare to she'd another day
Carry on - and I will forever
Longing drives bad memories away
And still I carry on and I will forever
'Cause when I see you smile
I dare to believe again
I tried to build a wall
And let nobody in
To be on my own
Without love and without pain
Without pain
I don't let know why
Be every time
I look into you face
Into you face
I am caught and I relapse again
Carry on, it's forever
Longing drives bad memories away
Carry on - and I will forever
Longing drives bad memories away
And still I carry on and I will forever
'Cause when I see you smile
No... no time to ponder
Take your feet in your hands, swept by the sea
Oh it's too late to wonder where we went wrong
There's no time to win, to lose and to feel
Cries... they go unsung
Memories of plenty fading away
Cries of dying dreams
Where will they run to when there's nowhere to go?
See them kids worn-out and pale
To the Promised Land they're drawn
All the way with a dream that turned into fear
To the other side where the wild winds blow
And the golden rivers flow
They've come all the way for survival
A long trail of tears
Take a look into the eyes of confusion
They carry the torch into the sea of delusion
Fire on the down line
It's the way of the world
Always out to find another dime
Fire on the down line
The game is on
To the evil above you crawl
While you're floundering and kicking around
The wheel of days and nights and no time to sleep
To the other side to one storey higher
Where one less digit is your name
Dying to live one more sunrise, defying fatigue
Throw yourself into a final illusion
See them dive into the tide of the grain
Fire on the down line
It's the way of the world
Always out to find another dime
Fire on the down line
The game is on
Fire on the down line - Fire!
It's the way of the world
Always out to find another dime
Fire on the down line
The game is on
[Solo]
Fire on the down line
It's the way of the world
Always out to find another dime
Fire on the down line
The game is on
Fire on the down line - Fire!
It's the way of the world
Always out to find another dime
Fire on the down line
Sun going down, she opens her eyes
It's dark in the belfry and cold
Whispers of rain, wind in the sky
So long it's been all she's been told
Dream child, you're all alone
Roaming though the night
Scream child, lost and ashamed
For all the tears you cry
You're a child in sadness
A chessboard nightmare to go
Hear that silent symphony
Calling you up to the shore and you'll see us
As we sail away, moonstruck and astray
We're fallen angels
We're the scary tale to scare your mind away
From fallen angels
[Solo: Both]
So many days wasted in haze
You're free, oh so free on their strings
Illusions of life, they say you can fly
They laugh and they cut off your wings
Night child, they give you steel
And make you believe that it's gold
Lies child, all that you're told
Is just what you shall know
When they 'know' we are evil
We're strangers
And danger and fire,
The dark and the light
We are eyes in the night
Lost souls' they curse
For we've found it inside - oh
[Repeat chorus]
[Solo: Jens]
Ohhh, yeah...
[Solo: Jens/Both]
When they say you're a fossil
When their eyes nail you to the cross
Take their curse and join our way
Welcome my friend on the ship of the damned - oh
There in the distance
You don't see anything
And anything is what keeps me alive
I am the mess inside your mind
I am the black behind the light
I'm the tail of the glowing ball
That drowns in the horizon
I trail the setting sun
I'm every cold, cold night
The last one by your side
I am the face in the night
I make you open your eyes
Every time you lay yourself to sleep
I am the beat in your veins
I'm the worm in your brain
I'm the one to make you start
Form your dreams
Where do you go from here
When nighttime is drawing near
You ain't gonna run, run, run...
When you open your eyes
You'll see them smile
Faces in the darkness
When you wake up from your dream
To burn the nighttime
Faces in the darkness
You hear the noises of the day
You hear them slowly fade away
And you're the only one sensing time again and again
Where do you go from here
When nighttime is drawing near
You ain't gonna run, run, run...
When you open your eyes
You'll see them smile
Faces in the darkness
When you wake up from your dream
To blame the nighttime
Faces in the darkness
Afraid of the night
[Solo]
When you open your eyes
You'll see them smile
Faces in the darkness
When you wake up from your dream
To burn the nighttime
In the eyes of this mighty domain and it's evil
Doctrines, can't feel a trace of romance
But fears that grow
Noone can stare into his next ones eyes
We killed the poetry around
A long time ago - AGOooh
How many times have you given me rage
When your words were mendacious
And your laughter insane, how many times
Have you written lapoons about my life
And desires, about my pleasure and pain
I bare my fangs to you, look at my face and
You'll stare into my mind and you'll see
Eyes of the tyrant - these are the eyes of the night
Eyes of the tyrant - these are the eyes of the night
Back from the hades, into the daylight
Back from the hades, into the daylight
King of tonight, tell me what should I do
Should I die in glory, should I raise my fist
The Crime of my deads is the frolic I need
I won't die on my knees, got to kill to resist
The chagrin of the damned, cry the tears of
Romance, lord of uprightness take me now
The empire of the sad, the empire of the mad
My heart died so long ago
Yeah, we are eternal, we are immortal
There is a trace of glory in our hands
Majestic and wild, we stand and we fight
Soon your blackened pride will be fading away
You'll realize you'll have been walking astray
Never tame the wicked, I'm a tyrant tonight
Back from the hades, into the light
Back from the hades into:
