[Lyrics: Peavy Wagner]
This is the time, this is the place for me
They brought me back to life again
It was for seen a long, long time ago
I'm coming back, I shall return
Everything I've seen
All the places I have been
And the secrets of the earth
Have been given at my birth
I withstand all that's worse
I'm human metal, yes, I am real, I'm human metal
I'm human metal and I am made to give you back what you have lost
I'm human metal, yes, I am real, I'm human metal
I'm human metal
And I am made to give you back what you have lost so long ago
Organic life is pumping through my veins
A hard drive's working in my head
My ears are trained to catch the tiniest sound
I'm powered by the notes I get
Made of blood and steel
A machine but I can feel
Activated by the sound
Of the music that's around
A raging metal pound
I'm human metal, yes, I am real, I'm human metal
I'm human metal and I am made to give you back what you have lost
I'm human metal, yes, I am real, I'm human metal
I'm human metal
And I am made to give you back what you have lost so long ago
Made to save your life and make you grow
A majestic symphony is life, so give up misery
Now raise your head and listen what's to come...
[Music: Victor Smolski]
[Lyrics: Peavy Wagner]
"I have heared your voice
Now I have no choice
You must face your fatal end"
What is this? I can't believe my eyes
Is it trying to hunt, it's bringing me down, bringing me down
Why did I come to this hellish vault
I have heared, they warned
It's chasing, raging, killing you
Time stands still
And myself will
Disappear tonight from this world
Soundchaser
Now the beast has come
It's coming out to eat me alive
The Soundchaser
Is soundchasing, raging, killing you
"Eons back in time
This world has been mine
Deadly plage from heaven sent"
Hush, my dear, the silence saved my life
It won't find us if we hide on the ground, without a sound
Hell freeze over! Please, please save my life
Instinctive breed, it is chasing, raging, killing you
Time stands still
And myself will
Disappear tonight from this world
Soundchaser
Now the beast has come
It's coming out to eat me alive
The Soundchaser
Is soundchasing, raging, killing you
Soundchaser, Soundchaser, now the beast has come alive...

In the darkest hour
It is time for the truth
When you're fast asleep
In the darkest hour
A modern man, a nice gentle guy
He cuts a real smart figure from his head
To his toes
But when the night falls and the mask
Comes off him then,
He changes to a raping, pervert monster man
Like Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde
"I'm gonna get you tonight!"
In the darkest hour
It is time for the truth
When you're fast asleep
In the darkest hour
The upright housewife, busy with her meals -
Things like chatting with the milkman
Are her only thrills
But when the night falls and she puts
Her stocking on,
Yeah, then she gets in heavy
With the neighbour's so
Like she's a domina tonight
"I'm gonna shoot off your balls!"
Some people hide what they are
In the darkest hour
It is time for the truth
When you're fast asleep
Why is it that some people always get what they want
How come they always know the time to choose
And can you make a difference in how your life evolves
If you knew what it is then
You'd never be the one to lose
The intuition to be sure
If something's wasted time or purely what you need
To succeed
You want to understand it, the universal law
So you can send a message to the stars
Just like a silent prayer, an energy exchange
There is an answer for you
It's out there waiting in your heart
If you are open you will hear
You have to be brave, so don't fear and you'll be there
Just beware...
You want it, you'll get it
Try to live so that you won't regret it
You want it, you'll get it
If you only try to live and let it
Find it's way to you
Music by P. Wagner, S. Efthimiadis / Lyrics by P. Wagner
Plans I have made to build it up from this state.
Always moving, never stop, though the answers are made
‘bout the future, ‘bout the past,
where I come from, what will last.
Try to delay things that lead you astray.
But society sucks you out, leads to early decay.
If I will, if I won't, a decision that I could not flee.
I prayed it leave me be - the icecold hand of destiny.
Everything's right, it seems the future looks bright.
But there's always factor X that leads the tumbling dice.
If I will...
Play for future, play for past,
Leave here; turn back;
More beer; one track;
Hot sun -caribbean; blue sea - palm tree beach;
Hotel - behind the dunes; leisure time - animator;
Round trip, hip-grip, bullshit, fit - hit
Groovin' away in the heat of the car
Round trip, hip-grip, tourist's madness
Sweating away in a first class hovel
Guest loo; french food;
Sightseeing - tourist guide; bus tour - standard price
Round trip, hip-grip, bullshit, fit - hit
Groovin' away in the heat of the car
Round trip, hip-grip, tourist's madness
Sweating away in a first class hovel
Good skiing! Mountaineer;
Alpine - snow bunny; divine - modest dirndl;
Round trip, hip-grip, bullshit, fit - hit
Groovin' away in the heat of the car
Round trip, hip-grip, tourist's madness
Sweating away in a first class hovel
Round trip, hip-grip, bullshit, fit-hit,

[METALLICA]
All I want is you but so far I never knew you,
Our limitless selves, all that can remain is there.
Now give us the time to share it
'Till the sleep comes again.
Love after death, the other half, in a unit we're best.
Love after death, this is forever, I have no regrets.
Lost, out of my sight,
Alone wandering through the night.
Time tore us apart,
So different to learn by heart.
Now give us a chance to share it
As life comes again.
Love after death, the other half, in a unit we're best.
Love after death, this is forever, I have no regrets.
Love after love after love after death.
Love, all I want is you,
I am just like you, never we can die.
Love, circle in a whole,
The twin of my soul, 'till the end of time.
[JUDAS PRIEST]
I've seen you with your mummy yesterday
you waved for me but then you couldn't stay.
Since then I've got this picture in my mind
it shows you in panties from behind.
I want to your mummy from your side
I want you, you're just the kind for me
I want you, you bring me up indeed
Don't leave me here alone, come over now.
I know you're kinda young but well grown out.
So what about a little here and now?
Yeah right, so what? Not yet, you know!
If mummy could see you now at my side...
I want you, you're just the kind for me
[Music & Lyrics: Peavy Wagner]
Once, eons back in time from here
Long before man was born
They came from somewhere out of space
Shaped the young planet's face
And more, they made all to be, everything we see is their work
So good, the system and it?s frame played a perfect game
Until the other came...
It was all for the great old ones
Those who created life
And life carried on and on and on
They gave all for the great old ones
Under the new born sun
Where life carried on and on and on...
So everything was good to be
When some would fall from grace
Birth of the evil energy
Fear reaches back in those days
And hell wasted all to be, all the bad we see is it's work
To save the system and it's frame, the Soundchaser came
Some call them Perfect man...
It was all for the great old ones
Those who created life
And life carried on and on and on
They gave all for the great old ones
Under the new born sun
Where life carried on and on and on...
Life carried on for the great old ones
In the planets history there are secrets, you will see
Our nature has a source. Good or evil comes from those...
And all, all their secret deeds never could complete what they need
Cause hell wasted all to be, all the bad we see; 'till the Soundchaser came...
It was all for the great old ones
Those who created life
And life carried on and on and on
They gave all for the great old ones
Under the new born sun
Where life carried on and on and on...
Life carried on for the great old ones
[Rage]
SPIRITS COMING FROM THE MIND
WAKING UP MY DEEPEST HORRORS
CAPTURE MY THOUGHTS, MAKE ME BLIND
WEIRD, 'CAUSE I DON'T WANT TO SEE
THE ABYSS OF MY POSSIBILITIES
SCARED I CAN'T LOOK AWAY
IT HAS COME TO MY SIDE
SISTER DEMON - MY BRIDE
I WANT YOU, I NEED YOU
AND I HAVE SET YOU FREE
YOU'RE ALWAYS RIGHT BEHIND ME
I KNOW THE DEVIL'S SENT YOU TO ME
YOU WANT ME, YOU NEED ME
NOW THAT I'VE SET YOU FREE
LOOK ALWAYS RIGHT BEHIND YOU
YOU KNOW THE DEVIL'S SENT ME TO YOU
WHAT HAS STARTED AS A LONGING
ALMOST IS POSESSION NOW
IT DRIVES ME AGAIN AND AGAIN
PUR A LIGHT INTO YOUR WINDOW
MAYBE I CAN FIND A HOLD
I RUN AGAINST MYSELF 'TILL I FIND THE END
SENT BY THE DEVIL
[Instrumental]
He is alone though he's one of the crowd
Days made of dust and nights filled with doubts
Somewhere's a light he can't see and he knows
Not forever, no eternity
Not forever, one day he'll be free
He's got the time to think and he found
It's all the same with the people around
They need someone to bear all their sins
Not forever, no eternity
Not forever, and the world will see
Locked in a cell, that is his life
Only one thing in mind
Making a change
Not willing to wait ‘til it's time to die
One thing before his eyes
Making a change
What will the world look like without him?
Who'll do the dirty jobs if not him?
What are the leaders without someone to lead?
Not forever, no eternity
Not forever, one day he'll be free
They run the endless debate
Who's right and who is wrong
In their eyes we've all failed in life
Old men in silk and diamonds
Decide who's right to kill
A soldier with god; not so his wife
It's just another way to multiply their power
They need a reason to survive
Seven deadly sins
Just give them fear of hell, obey the ivory tower
If they all want to stay alive
Seven deadly sins - seven deadly sins
Who are they to speak justice
About another man
They've tortured and killed through history
How can you dogmatise it
You cannot shape the truth
There's no way to order belief
It's just another game to multiply their power
They need a reason to survive
Seven deadly sins
If we all fear their hell, obey their ivory tower
They have a chance to stay alive
[Instrumental]
This is mine, here's where my home is
I don't want to let you break into my world
All my life I've been looking for something
that's my own, I'm so glad I found it now
Don't you step on this ground
I don't want to lose an inch of my freedom
I'll lose my soul if you steal my refuge
Leave my cloud and stay away
this is my refuge
play your dirty tricks, my friend
but leave my refuge
I grow stronger and you feel smaller
guess that's your reason for taking up my time
with every secret that you make public
your influence on my life grows, ain't this true?
Don't step on this ground
I don't want to lose an inch of my freedom
I'll lose my soul if you steal my refuge
Leave my cloud and stay away
this is my refuge
play your dirty tricks, my friend
but leave my refuge
[Music/Lyrics by: P. Wagner]
This time the wind has blown me forwards
from the sick and stinking harvest.
He's a neurotic!
"I cannot stand it anymore!
You slut! You goddamn filthy whore!"
(This is not a gentleman's style)
He's screaming with a deep-red face
(Oh, you seem a bit angry, don't ya)
This is a choleric attack, he's got it sometimes
(mmmh, my god!)
He's a neurotic, gonna break his neck
I don't wanna get like this
Don't worry ‘bout this guy
It's up to you to show him better ways
Don't get to angry if he failed again
His moods hard to control
And when he steps out of the door
The kids, they laugh at him once more
(Motherfucker, motherfucker, bababa!)
If he didn't cry or wish he was dead
(Nobody loves me!)
He would scream out in boiling RAGE
(Fuck you assholes!)
He's a neurotic, gonna break his neck
I don't wanna get like this
Don't worry ‘bout this guy
It's up to you to show him better was
Don't get too angry if he failed again
His moods hard to control
He's a neurotic, gonna break his neck
I sat here thinking, let my mind drift away
And what I saw was a vision of you.
Just like a movie that I saw yesterday
And now I know what I'm going to do.
I watched the hourglass on my empty wall,
Like hypnotized of the circles I'd seen.
The timeless ticking of the fingers who called
Myself to be where I wanted to be.
More than a lifetime away
More than a lifetime away
One million hours to stay
More than a lifetime away
I fly by night, I'm passing point after point.
So many places to stay invite me.
But they won't heal me, they won't rest me, I know.
I'm moving on 'till I'm going to be
[Bonus track]
Hey you, take a look at me now
Have you ever seen the face of death
Have you noticed me somehow
Not more than rotton flesh and bones...
But there's more than molecules
That make you different from a stone
Mirror, mirror, mirror
Friendly smiles decay
Mirror, mirror, mirror
It's your final day
Hey you, your spirit is more
It turns you into a scientist, an inventor to explore
But look into the mirror of life
You made so many mistakes
Now you get back what you gave
Mirror, mirror, mirror
Friendly smiles decay
Mirror, mirror, mirror
It's your final day
Your face is cold tonight
Your glance is far out of sign
You lay your body for the final rest
Do you think it was good what you've done in the past
You've had your years on earth
Now go back to what you've been...
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
[Bonus track]
Watch out, they're on the loose
They creep into your privacy, lurk in all corners for you
Justice - that's what they scream
But can they find verdicts on me while they're corrupt like...
Shit, I don't know who or what
They say that they're friends and they fight for your rights
They say that they're helpers
But they only teach you to stand real tight
Out there in the streets: Law and order
In out battlefields: Law and order
No way, you can't escape
You can't make mistakes or have fun or just do what you feel
They'll keep you locked in, you might be a troublemaker
Keep him safe
You bastard, you'd better be dead or something like this...
Now he's safe
[Bonus track]
Innocent guilty, she did not reply when he called
He didn't know she was innocent guilty
But it'd come to that
Twenty times that day
He tried to call her on the phone
But he did not succeed
And noone answered the door but then he heard her dog
So she must have been at home and he called her name
But it was in vain
Innocent guilty, she did not reply when he called
He didn't knew she was innocent guilty
But it'd come to that
He found the back door open
So he stole into the house
Where he found the body of her father
In the kitchen, blood was all around
On the table a letter that she wrote
Please forgive me
I have killed this man
'Cause he raped me
I can't stand the pain, the shame, my love, this last goodbye...
And he ran up the stairs to her room where she had opened her veins...
Innocent guilty, she did not reply when he called
He didn't knew she was innocent guilty
But as it seemed she was dead
No excuses, nothing can be done
This time it's coming to an end
And the truth is that I'm on the run
Loneliness is my only friend
Out there I see them staring at me, leaving me to die
Out there I feel they're scared about me, wanting me to die
Time is turning, it has passed me by
Unwanted, now the truth has died
The stake is burning, heaven is denied
The world prefers to blind their eyes
Out there I see them staring at me, leaving me to die
Out there I feel they're scared about me
I'm crucified, I'm crucified
And before the day is done, I'm crucified
Sacrificed to everyone, I'm crucified
I am every mother's son
I'm crucified, I'm crucified
Pointed fingers, gossip in the back
They shoot the bullet from behind
Cut the wings of those who try to fly
The devil's walking hand in hand
I'm crucified, I'm crucified
And before the day is done, I'm crucified
Sacrificed to everyone, I'm crucified
I am every mother's son
[Music & Lyrics: Peavy Wagner]
What we feel, it might be so unreal
And what we know, it's under construction
We have learned, the truth, it can be turned
Well, it just depends on what we believe is real
In secrecy our mission will be
Let's create our future aware
I'll see you in heaven one day
Or I'll see you in hell
Yeah, we'll be where we think we will stay
I'll see you in heaven or hell
You and me, we think of what will be
It's so hard to trust in that we'll be given
Fear, so strong, will surely lead us wrong
It's gonna bring us down, we better believe it's real
In secrecy our mission will be
Let's create our future aware
I'll see you in heaven one day
Or I'll see you in hell
Yeah, we'll be where we think we will stay
I'll see you in heaven or hell
No limit, I'm in it, it's all inside my mind
I'll be there where I dare, it's all my choice
In secrecy our mission will be
Let's create our future aware
I'll see you in heaven one day
Or I'll see you in hell
Yeah, we'll be where we think we will stay
I'll see you in heaven or hell
[The Troggs Cover]
I can't stand still cause you got me goin'
Your pants are low and your hips are showin'
I watch you yea while you're standin' there
Your skin tight jeans and your sexy hair
Don't want you goin' round with no one else
Cause when I'm with you I can't control myself, yeah
Defenses down and you got me shakin'
You got me so that my nerves are achin'
If you knew me and your were in my world
Your knees would bend an' your hair would curl
You make me move yea like no one else
When I'm with you I can't control myself
I've got this feeling deep inside of me
It makes me be what I'm supposed to be
It makes me feel alright
When I'm with you at night an' we love
An' we love
Ya hold me so with this big temptation
This kind of feelin' could move the nation
An' I'm okay when I'm here with you
I do the things that ya want me to
I don't do these things for no one else
When I'm with you I can't control myself
I can't control myself
I can't control myself
There's a new kind of love, you're longing for
And I will be there, waiting at your door
This is all where you want to be, want to be
At the end of eternity
Now the time comes when all connects to one
And a bridge will be built from dark to sun
At the dawn of the century, come with me
It's the end of eternity
And there is so much more to give
And there is so much more to live
Come to me, come to me, set it free
The end of eternity
The end of eternity has begun, has begun
There's a new kind of life on second floor
And you will be there, knocking at my door
This is all where I want to be, want to be
At the end of eternity
And there is so much more to give
And there is so much more to live
Come to me, come to me, set it free
The end of eternity
The end of eternity has begun, has begun
I'm on the run, but I don't know
What is the scare, so there's no way to go
What do I fear to cross my way
It's gonna come like a kick in the a...
Father you've warned me, so I should have known
Something's not right
Set the alarm now, before it's too late
Make it allright
All I want is my own integrity
All I want is a chance of being free
It could be heaven on earth if we are one
All I want is to end what I've begun
That's all I want
It's getting hard to understand
What is the right thing and what's a dead end
Don't wanna live like in disgrace
´Cause in the end it's a kick in the face
You tread on me and you give me the blame
This is not right
Don't mean to harm you, so treat me the same
Then it's allright
All I want is my own integrity
All I want is a chance of being free
It could be heaven on earth if we are one
All I want is to end what I've begun
All is grey, grey today,
Today I don't want to stay.
What I say, what you say
Is not getting through to me.
It vanished in haze,
I'm falling from the grace,
This is another of those days.
All vanished in haze, vanished in haze.
Bitter face, empty eyes.
There has been so many smiles.
But my lips - paralysed,
Poisoned heart and poisoned mind.
It vanished in haze...
Give me time, let me go,
There's so much I couldn't show.
Leave my will to the flow,
More to be as I will grow.
It vanished in haze...
It's allright, it is good,
There's a lot I've understood.
We will get what we need,
[Music: Victor Smolski]
[Lyrics: Peavy Wagner]
Hijackers, kidnapers, have a look around
Assassins with blessings from their gods
No mercy, they try to set this world on fire
They think that they have a right to kill
Take good care to be out of here
From the nuclear fire
Separation and growing fear
We forgot we're one, never spoke in one voice
Now we're here
It's the war of worlds
And we're all concerned, right now
Everyone has to learn
It's the war of worlds
And our future burns right now
(It's the war of worlds)
This is the war of the worlds right now
They swallow and follow just the path of greed
Blood dripping, heart ripping, take it all
Confusion, conclusions not in sight, so scary
Not willing to share what all is there
Take good care to be out of here
From the nuclear fire
Separation and growing fear
We forgot we're one, never spoke in one voice
Now we're here
It's the war of worlds
And we're all concerned, right now
Everyone has to learn
It's the war of worlds
And our future burns right now
(It's the war of worlds)
Burn in hell
[Instrumental]
[The Police Cover]
Sleep lay behind me like a broken ocean
Strange waking dreams before my eyes unfold
You lay there sleeping like an open doorway
I stepped outside myself and felt so cold
Take a look at my new toy
It'll blow your head in two, oh boy
Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone
Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone
Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone
I thought about it and my dream was broken
I clutch at images like dying breath
And I don't want to make a fuss about it
The only certain thing in life is death
Take a look at my new toy
It'll blow your head in two, oh boy
Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone
Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone
Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone
Where you want to be, won't you ever see?
Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone
Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone
Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone
Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone
Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone
Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone
Ah....now!
Since a while I thought 'bout leaving here
I can see no way to get it clear
Under you I feel misunderstood
In this respectable neighbourhood
Hey, don't look for me no more
'Cause I won't be coming home
Well, I'm a solitary man
I'm gonna leave you now alone
I'm just a solitary man
I feel so strange here, do you know?
I have heard they're tellin' tales 'bout me
Find me weird and most unusually
Can't you see that I'm just doing my way?
Live it out what you all just pretend
I don't need no company
If I did I'd look for better
Well, I'm a solitary man
I'm gonna leave you now alone
I'm just a solitary man
I feel so strange here, do you know?
Well, I'm a solitary man
I'm gonna leave you now alone.
How many men have been killed ‘cause of religion?
For example Iran and Irak, this war is going on
For more than a decade.
It is more than ridiculous how these brothers
Kill themselves for the geed of might
That their leaders covered real clever
With the name of a god
Religious This is sinister thinking
Fanatics Ruled by sinister thinking
They drill this evil spirit in their children's heads
So there's no ending in sight, no
Religious This is sinister thinking
Fanatics Ruled by sinister thinking
Madmen, madmen
Killing their lands
In east and west There is sinister thinking
Religious This is sinister thinking
C'mon now, c'mon now
Let's get closer, I'll show you how
Let's get into my car
Noone can see us and we got it warm
Get it out, get it out
No need to worry, everything's allowed
Ain't this good, yes, it's good
I know there's power in your underwood
Wohow, nobody knows
Get on up, get on down
Let's change it over, babe, c'mon sit down
Uh, I like it this way
One foot in the steering wheel that's OK
Wohow, nobody knows
[Instrumental]
Now I know it's time again to change my life
Yes it's time for me to leave it all behind
Say goodbye to all I'd have if I'd stay here
No, I don't need it anymore
The wind is whispering in the trees, they call my name
The birds that leave me down here, they all do the same
Don't you think that I don't care
There'll be a time
When I am old enough to stay
There's this longing in my heart that must be fed
It gets its thrills outside the walls
There are still so many pictures in my head
I must follow to this call
As I leave it all behind - saddle the wind
Satisfy my longing mind - saddle the wind
As I leave it all behind - saddle the wind
Say goodbye from time to time - saddle the wind
As I see the naked earth, wide open fields
There's a vision to become a part of it
In its sparkling waves the river invites me
To join it on the journey to the sea
And always when I feel I've got a home
Then I need to get away
As I leave it all behind - saddle the wind
Satisfy my longing mind - saddle the wind
As I leave it all behind - saddle the wind
Say goodbye from time to time - saddle the wind
There's this longing in my heart...
The title track of my first album that I recorded
with Avenger in '84. I've changed some words
for this version. You find all former members
playing here. The drum take is done by Jorg, the
lead breaks by Alf, Jochen, Manni, Guinness and
Rudy.
Lay me on an anvil, oh lord
and forge me in a crowbar
let me pry young virgin souls
give ‘em strength somehow
Lay me on an anvil, oh lord
and forge me in a spike
drive me in the wasted hearts
to straighten out their lifes
Let me be your weapon, oh lord
fight for truth real hard
let me roar with all your force
fight for you and guard
Let me be your clearest spirit
hold your temple high
from the darkest souls, so deep
to the blackest night
All your wisdom give me, oh lord
teach me prayers of steel
Give me strength and give me power
In search for personality
We people always think the clothing makes a man
In fact there's such ha difference in all
What we think and how we understand
My left is your right
Your day is my night
Their darkness is our light
Reflections of a shadow
Reflections of my mind
We're looking for externals
And the eye gets blind in insincerity
But when I hear you talking
Then your soul lies free for everyone to see
And what I do
Becomes my proof
Our acts draw our portraits
And in the night
We make it right
In dreams we find our light
Reflections of a shadow
Reflections of my mind
Reflections of a shadow
Hellchild, you got
No fun, you're wild
That's you: dependent,
Obey, you do
No way to go
So come on
Oh yeah, you need a
Brainstorm today
Shout out your pain
be strong, be loud
No way to go
Chorus:
Bang - it's raw energy
Bang - it's raw energy
Don't fear your dreams
Work'em out, they'll come clear
Never surrender
Next time do better
Feel the comin' of the chord
Oh, it says a lot more than a thousand words
[Music & Lyrics: P. Wagner]
[Bonus Track]
They came along last night
I knew again there was no end in sight
We all had too much
We needed a break to let it out our guts
So we turned it on to its highest point
Shot far over the line when it's fun
We dropped out on the edge
Stumbling on the edge
Set the mind afire
Let the engine run overpowered
'N' break the bonds of sleep
Feed the overdose with all to keep
And we turned it on to its highest point
Shot far over the line when it's fun
We dropped out on the edge
Stumbling on the edge
On the edge when there's no point to go further
There's no way to turn the steerwheel 'round
What else left then to take it as a man
Accept the final rest for now
And wait for the return
Music and Lyrics by P. Wagner
I've been sitting, wondering. Where am I to go?
I spend time on too many things, turn my tides too slow.
I never felt so sick, that's all I know.
but when I hit my strings too loud
Then I will let my demons out
My RAGE - there's danger in my smile.
My RAGE - no, this is not my stile.
In the suburbs of my mind lives a gang of four
joining me from time to time in my mental war.
I never felt so mean, that's all I know.
But when I hit my strings to loud
then I will let my demons out
My RAGE...
Now I will let my demons out...
In my hour of darkness they will come again;
Fear, hate, frustration, desperation.
They are all so negative, but now I'll get them down,
[Bonustrack Digi-Pack]

[Lyrics: Peavy Wagner]
I wanna go, long time ago
It was the time when all the ladies used to show
They saved a dance for their heart's gentleman
They're waiting for the time and saved the day
For the french bourree
Give me a sign, a single sign
So I'll be waiting here until you will be mine
I wanna know, you let the other go
Then come along and dance with me today
To the french bourree
And if you let me in your heart
I will find a start
Take a chance on me, wait and you will see
You and me, it's gotta be
Let me win your heart with a bourree
I wanna go, long time ago
It was the time when all the ladies used to show
They saved a dance for their heart's gentleman
They're waiting for the time and saved the day
For the french bourree
And if you let me in your heart
I will find a start
Take a chance on me, wait and you will see
You and me, it's gotta be
Let me win your heart with a bourree
[Music and Lyrics by P. Wagner.]
So, now my time has come.
I will be dead and gone
from the earth's face.
It is my destiny,
this time I cannot hide
from this cruel fate.
A never ending memory,
a life before my eyes.
Whatever comes, whatever's been,
my pocket full of lies.
Like an arrow in the air,
falling endlessly and I know we're gonna be
Higher than the sky, we're
higher than the sky.
An ordinary flight,
who could imagine this
will be our death cell.
No miracle in sight,
We're diving faster now,
as for as I can tell.
I see the faces passing by,
there's fear inside their eyes.
They all will be my company
we're brothers now for life.
Like an arrow in the air,
falling endlessly and I know we're gonna be
Higher than the sky, we're
higher than the sky.
