1. My Temple
[Music by: Hansen / Lyrics by: Hansen]
Watch out the hangmen come And there is no point in running Keep cool the damage is done You`ve got another thing coming I can`t believe your world... I`d rather have it my way Go face reality... I`ll never want it your way
No... nothing can save you You`re gonna be dead! Die... `cause I only hate you All words have been said!
So much you wanna say It`s hidden in your head No more that I can take I feel like being had Your silly words will fade away... you`ve got no future You cannot feel the pain inside... you little monster
[Chorus] Come on down into my temple for the earth Sit in silence and you will hear the words And if you stay, you`ll never leave, you`ll never walk alone The saviour of the universe is home
Waiting for tomorrow when the sorrows disappear Look into the future from the center of my fears Holy hell please save me from the beast from down below Shelter me from evil and the darkness of the cold... yeah
Evil comes Evil`s done
Waiting for tomorrow the saviour never comes To save us from the future The world has come undone... yeah
Evil comes... your way Evil`s done... always... yeah
[Chorus] Come on down into my temple for the earth Sit in silence and you will hear the words And if you stay, you`ll never leave, you`ll never walk alone The saviour of the universe is home
2. Fight
[Music by: Richter / Lyrics by: Richter]
I see a world that`s full of fake and disillusions I see no move in history Where am I meant to be? What is my destiny? The path I`ve chosen now has lead me to a wall
And though my mind perceived I still was a blind man And not the one who understands For life`s a mystery... Of things your eyes can`t see... Faith is the key to inspiration!
[Chorus 1] Carry on! Carry on my dear old friend Carry on for there`s love that never ends Carry on... carry on, carry on, carry on
So I began to trust my instinctive feelings To live in truth and harmony One day you realize... It`s right before your eyes... Truth is the key to inspiration!
[Chorus 2] Carry on! Carry on my dear old friend Carry on for love will never end Carry on... carry on, carry on, carry on
In this world Faith, hope and charity Lead us to the one
[Chorus 3] Carry on! Carry on my dear old friend Carry on my love will never end Carry on... carry on, carry on
Carry on and you will see Life ain`t no misery Carry on, carry on, carry on
Carry on! You`ll see the light Your star is shining bright Carry on, carry on!
3. Strange World
[Music by: Hansen / Lyrics by: Hansen]
Here come the riders of the revolution Their blood is flowing in the pouring rain Tonight there`s gonna be an execution Another hungry king will end
Oh... all your tyrant dreams will fall when the quest will end We`ll rise from the ashes and wait for the call Against the masters
And we cry for deliverance We hold the world in our hands And come the dawn, the future is ours Sealed with our blood in the sand
[Chorus] It`s a strange world A never ending circle Oh, such a strange world A never ending circle
Talk to me my holy friend Why they kiss the killing hand I fail to understand No more... and this is the end
Strike with iron will Time to feed the overkill Blood flows everywhere Now the time of hell is here No more time to waste All I feel is burning rage in me
I win, you lose You`ve got nothing to say You die, I live Get down and pray
It`s time to kill We strike with iron will Here come the riders of the revolution We fight to live And we cannot forgive Here come the riders of the revolution
[Chorus] Oh yeah... it`s a never ending circle Oh, it's a strange world A never ending circle
Oh yeah... it`s a strange world (a strange world, a never ending circle) Oh, such a strange world (strange world, a never ending circle)
Here come the riders of the revolution Another rider crying revolution... yeah
4. Hell Is Thy Home
[Music by: Hansen / Lyrics by: Hansen]
Taken where the thunder roars into the blazing light The hand of fate is crushing down before me The eyes of god have turned away, no angels are in sight As I face the final chapter of our story
And now I hear the millions cry - Screaming! Into oblivion you take their lives Hell is thy home
[Chorus 1] Hell is thy home... darkness thy destiny Where you belong... no need for sympathy The antichrist is back again Disguised as the savior of man
(servants of evil, breed evil) Storm fills the clouds I`ll wait for the fall Sowing the end Grace comes to fall
And now you`re waiting for a sign - Dreaming The day is near when all the world is thine Because hell is thy home... yeah
[Chorus 2] Hell is thy home... darkness thy destiny Where you belong... no need for sympathy Again you watch the millions die No tears in your eyes And your followers will hail The forces of evil won`t fail
In the great white hall A monster`s working on the fall It`s bloody war will kill us all
[Chorus 3] Hell is our home... darkness thy destiny Where we belong... no need for sympathy Hell is thy home... darkness thy destiny Where you belong... no need for sympathy
Hell is our home Hell is our home Hell is our home
5. Blood Religion
[Music by: Hansen / Lyrics by: Hansen]
Clock strikes midnight in the palest moonlight As the man walks into my bedroom Heart in hand I hear him speak: " My friend, The time has come to rise, my name is Doom. Ask no questions There will be an answer soon. "
And we fall through the dark of the underworld And we`re leaving the light of the day And I know we will go to the other side And it seems like I`m going to stay
Hell is home to the gods of the underworld To the one who will never betray Now my soul will be here for eternity And the night will be leading my way
Yeah, bite me!
There was a time when hell was divine The holy man was nailed to the cross A fire on ice, burning inside All my hope and loving was lost
Now hell is my home, the sadness is gone But don`t you think my soul it is lost If you really care just hold out your hand And I will free you all from the cross
The priest is raising hands to do the final execution Shouting out in agony: " Fear the cross " I`m digging my claws into his neck and raise him to the ceiling Gritting my teeth I smell the blood You are lost!
[Chorus] Blood red vengeance I want blood red vengeance Screaming for blood
I was walking through the darkness Searching for a white neck to bite I was restless and the hunger Carried me on through the night
Yearning vampire: " Fear the cross " Feel the undead`s... rage and lust
[Chorus] Blood red vengeance I want blood red vengeance Screaming for blood
Into the dark Blood religion [Repeat 4 times]
[Chorus 2] Screaming for blood - blood red vengeance Screaming for blood - blood red vengeance Give me your heart - blood red vengeance I want it all - blood red vengeance Vengeance... yeah
Give me your love... oh yeah Oh, love me!
6. Condemned To Hell
[Music by: Zimmermann / Lyrics by: Zimmermann]
Come get some!
Oppression deadly reign Madmen gone insane They hate and bring us pain Bloodlust in their eyes Getting high on torture cries They hate and terrorize They sacrifice
They try to break my will They claim the right to kill My world is standing still I`m lost in hell They try to make me right A prisioner no reason why All I try is to survive The world`s demise
Chained in darkness - Screaming for the light! Killing pain to save my life
[Chorus] Condemned to hell - I`m facing the end of my days Condemned to hell - Their torches are burning Condemned to hell - My freedom will burn at the stake Condemned to hell - The dark age returning
They don`t care, they close their eyes Kick away our human rights A world dehumanized Now tell me... how many gave their lives? How many have to die? Killed by official lies With stars and stripes
Pain and anger - Killing all the light! Darkness comes... eternal night
[Chorus] Condemned to hell - I`m facing the end of my days Condemned to hell - Their torches are burning Condemned to hell - My freedom will burn at the stake Condemned to hell - The dark age returning
Chained in darkness - Screaming for the light! Killing pain to save my life
[Chorus] Condemned to hell - I`m facing the end of my days Condemned to hell - Their torches are burning Condemned to hell - My freedom will burn at the stake Condemned to hell - The dark age returning
Condemned to hell Condemned [Repeat 3 times]
Hell! Hell! [Repeat `till the end]
7. Spiritual Dictator
[Music by: Zimmermann / Lyrics by: Zimmermann]
Master of delusion he`s sowing seeds of hate Burning sermons, evil thoughts, he`s bound to seal our fate Human minds infected by hypnotizing words Foretelling lies, catastrophes, it`s time for our rebirth
[Pre-chorus] You`re suffering from pain to clean up your karma Following the path of no return Blackening your soul foreswearing your freedom Killing your hope for living life in peace
[Chorus] Evil Messiah... the world`s set on fire He promised salvation but sent you to hell Almighty liar... satanic desire Eternal damnation comes after your fall
Spiritual dictator, a murderer in white Illuminated living god, the reaper with a scythe A deadly operation, a mass destruction curse Effective hightech armoury, a raging storm unfurls
[Pre-chorus] You`re suffering from pain to clean up your karma Following the path of no return Blackening your soul foreswearing your freedom Killing your hope for living life in peace
[Chorus] Evil Messiah... the world`s set on fire He promised salvation but sent you to hell Almighty liar... satanic desire Eternal damnation comes after your fall... after your fall
You pay for your salvation enlightenment within Renouncing the material world, your agony begins Completely isolated from the outside world Fellowship will make you all immortal in reverse
[Pre-chorus 2] You`re suffering pain to clean up your karma Following the path of no return Blackening your soul, foreswearing your freedom Shattering your hope for living life in peace
[Chorus 2] Evil Messiah... the world`s set on fire He promised salvation but sent you to hell Almighty liar... satanic desire A heart full of anger for no one to see Evil Messiah... Eternal damnation comes after your fall
8. Majesty
[Music by: Hansen / Lyrics by: Hansen]
When the snow is on the mountains And the valleys freeze again Bloody horsemen come riding They storm with the wind
Yearning spirits in the sunlight Shining armours blind the lamb Bloody horsemen come roaring Roar for the end
What happened to our screams and curses? What happened to our lines and verses?
[Chorus 1] All falls down when Hell comes crawling Blood will flow when Satan`s calling Oh... dark Majesty
In the end there`s no tommorow Bloody horsemen ride again Breathing terror in the sunlight Blood flows again
I`m sorry for the screams and curses... What happened to our mindless world?
[Chorus 2] When all falls down when Satan`s calling Blood will flow when Hell is crawling Majesty... oh Majesty Majesty... dark Majesty
The devil has found an amazing playground And he will enjoy playing games Nothing is sacred, nothing is holy Run to the exit again... if you can
When all this comes, it`s not fair Blood disciples anywhere... oh yeah!
Still I dream of a tommorow When the world is free again In the end the tyrant`s falling Love wins again!
The world is just a crazy circus I can`t accept we`re always cursed
[Chorus 3] When all falls down when Hell comes crawling Blood will flow when Satan's calling Oh... Majesty
9. How Long
[Music by: Hansen / Lyrics by: Hansen]
So here I stand again on the island of madness and pain My fate is calling me to walk out of the dark and the rain If I could go where I can walk, I can run, I can breathe Where destiny is clear from the smoke and the smell of debris
I raise my hands up to the voices in the sky Forever I must go and find the other side
[Chorus] How can we go on from here if we don`t stop the war? And how can we lose all the fear if we don`t stop the war?
Now you stand before me, you ask me where to go Just go and do it your way, `cause really I don`t know
My mind is going crazy, my head is spinning round Been searching for the saviour, he`s nowhere to be found
And when I raise my head up to the sky Then still the question will be burning in my mind
[Chorus] How can we go on from here if we don`t stop the war? And how can we lose all the fear if we don`t stop the war?
How long will it take how long will it take? How long will it take until we stop the war?
I said...
[Chorus] How can we go on from here if we don`t stop the war? And how can we lose all the fear if we don`t stop the war?
How long? How long? How long? I said How long? How long? How long?
Stop the war! [Repeat 5 times] Fuck the war! Oh yeah.. yeah.. yeah..
10. Revelation
[Music by: Richter / Lyrics by: Richter]
Save my soul from anguish Drained from fear to perish In this world of torment Save me, please save me from all
We`re riding on a velvet dream Through ancient lands we`ve never seen Far across the hands of time Are we lost forever?
Rules and religions created to hate To fear and incite, not to love and placate Compassion for murders, take God`s name in vain A fortress of evil is built up with pain
[Chorus 1] I... I saw the signs Enlighten my mind Time after time Silent tears Shadows of fears Search for the one Revelation to come
Silent tears in anguish and in fears We`re searching for the one Where we`re all coming from
May your heart be strong and true For life`s a gift of love to you In my visions I have seen The world of mystery
Leading me gently to open the door I`m searching for answers, can`t stop anymore Bound by this passion, my faith is unfailed I`m holding the key to the kingdom of fate
[Chorus 2] I follow the signs Time after time Enlighten my mind Revelation take me home Where I belong Home to the one... yeah
I hear you calling, calling for me Silent tears are falling On all that is real... nothing is real
On wings of glory we shall arise Destiny`s calling All that is real... nothing is real
Your eyes seem so cold So wise Lost before they`re old
It`s our creation We build a symphony of fears (no more damnation) When you reach the ancient hall Will you trust me when you fall? To find salvation for your soul...
Oh, is this the end? Or will I suspend? I will be strong, Revelation shall come
[Chorus 3] I follow the signs Time after time Enlighten my mind Revelation take me home Where I belong Home to the one... yeah
Silent tears will wash away All that is real... nothing is real Do I surrender or is this the end?

1. Induction
[Music/Lyrics: Hansen]
Illuminati You've come to take control You can take my heartbeat But you can't break my soul We all shall be free
Illuminati You'll never take control Your new world order Will lead to none at all We all stand before you as one Heaven is for everyone To be free from the dark
2. Dethrone Tyranny
[Music/Lyrics: Zimmermann]
Someone is out there he's watching what I do From far in the distance, his eyes everywhere I look around me, there's noone that I see But still I feel someone's controlling my mind
Save your breath and run You can't escape the one
Time has come, the world lies dying Our faith has gone, our souls are crying Resurrecting paradise, cry for freedom Killing pain, a million lies, Dethrone tyranny
Forces of evil, they never surrender Sooner or later the dark aera comes
Crying man on the run He's searching for freedom but there will be none
Time has come, the world lies dying Our faith has gone, our souls are crying Resurrecting paradise, cry for freedom Killing pain, a million lies, Dethrone tyranny
And as the world is dying slowly in our hands We'll ask for reasons until the bitter end
Who brings us all the sadness Who brings us all the fear Who spreads disease and misery And steals our destiny
A poisoned heart of anger Sowing the seeds of pain All see the darkened skyline And feel the deadly reign
Time has come, the world lies dying Our faith has gone, our souls are crying Resurrecting paradise, cry for freedom Killing pain, a million lies, To hell with tyranny
3. The Heart Of The Unicorn
[Music/Lyrics: Hansen]
Masters are relentless, torture is for slaves Money, greed and power drives you to obey Temperature is rising, shakes me to the core Blood and domination, victims of the law
When bloody angels spread their wings
We're drowning in madness, the heart of the Unicorn... Dwelling in sadness, the heart of the Unicorn... ...is dead
I see the demons rising, beyond their sleeping void Deep and down the masters take them to the light Their piercing rays are blazing, obliterating fast All dreams are torn to pieces, vaporized at last
When bloody angels spread their wings
We're drowning in madness, the heart of the Unicorn... Dwelling in sadness, the heart of the Unicorn... ...is dead
I scan the dead horizon, illuminated curse In squished imagination, catastrophies unfurl Beyond the cataclysm, a dream of Unicorns The purest heart in heaven, stabbed by poisoned thorns
Bloody angels, searing with fire-turn to dust
All through the millenniums, I've seen the writing on the wall Into our oblivion, we are the riders on the storm
We're drowning in madness, the heart of the Unicorn... Dwelling in sadness, the heart of the Unicorn... ...is dead
Beware - all dead No light - all dead No dreams - all dead No life - you're dead
4. Heaven Or Hell
[Music/Lyrics: Hansen]
Where will I go now it's all over Where will I be now all is said and done Here comes the time, prepare for justice Seems like my final journey has begun
Riding on the wind, there's only one place left to go Take me to my afterlife, high up or down below
Heaven or Hell - where do we go when we are leaving Heaven or Hell - whatever comes to set us free Heaven or Hell - I've gone a long way and I see there's no wishing well The choice is made, it's heaven or hell
I'm not the one who was expected So I'll return and be from heaven sent I'm gonna get myself elected And now I wanna be the president - "Viva el Presidente"
Master of the damned I'll be the savior of you all Take me as a holy god to save you from the fall
Heaven or Hell - where is my final destination Heaven or Hell - whatever comes to set us free Heaven or Hell - we've gone a long way and we'll see there is no wishing well The choice is made, it's heaven or hell
Master of the damned, I'll be the savior of you all I'm your revelation I'm a walking miracle
Heaven or Hell - what is our final destination Heaven or Hell - where do we go from here Heaven or Hell - we've gone a long way and we see there is no wishing well The choice is made, it's heaven or hell
Heaven or hell It's heaven or hell There's no wishing well It's heaven or hell
5. New World Order
[Music/Lyrics: Hansen]
On wings of tomorrow we're coming to fly Erasing the sorrow and this is the place where you die We're shaking the chains off the world of today We're coming to get you no matter what you're gonna say
This is the time of the ending It's the dawn of a new world order This is a new beginning Where a new world shall arise, we scream On the wings of yesterday you're gonna die And you know it's gonna be - we're screaming
This is illumination - we are We are illuminates - beware This is illumination - we are We are illuminates
We live inside society, our presence is unknown We plot and we manipulate you to which way to go Illumination comes across the world to bring an end Intimidating silent force that puts us in command
This is the dawn of the ending It's the time of a new world order This is a new beginning Where a new world shall arise, we scream On the wings of yesterday you're gonna die And we know it's gonna be - forever
This is illumination - We are We are illuminates - Beware This is illumination - We are We are illuminates
In the darkness, we shall await Prepare for changes, to seal your fate
This is illumination - We are We are illuminates - Beware This is illumination - We are We are illuminates
6. Damn The Machine
[Music/Lyrics: Zimmermann]
Damn the Machine Drilling in the center of my mind One evil dream The annihilation of mankind
The stern-faced leaders in their temple of doom Creating nightmares made for me and for you
Damn the machine The enemy is stalking in the void One evil dream The engine's running faster to destroy
Here come the raiders they're invading us all We stand in silence with our backs to the wall
Once I believed in the voice of a god The god of creation is gone
A call from the heart to the god of love Send us an angel, a sign from above All of the damned and a silent scream Save us and damn the machine
The curse - fortold in prophecies is haunting us now The world - a creeping agony and there's no way out
Caught in illusions I'm screaming in pain The demon is corroding my brain
A call from the heart to the god of love Send us an angel, a sign from above All of the damned and a silent scream Save us and damn the machine
7. Solid
[Music/Lyrics: Hansen]
Leaving the planet, we're coming to burn Fight for the nation, we know there will be no return Interstellarian, galactical wars Now we are feeling we got no... We got no remorse
Stellarian fighters are ready to strike She alien vessels are burning tonight
So glorious we'll fly like the eagle in the sky And I know it's gonna be victory
We're solid - erasing the alien planet We're solid - erasing the alien planet
The alien tyrants will knock at your door They come for a reason and they will be coming for more - yes, they will - No conversation, agreements to make Eyes that are gleaming are twisting and sealing your fate Now it's the time for us all to strike back All systems prepare for the final attack
So glorious we'll fly like the eagle in the sky And I know it's gonna be victory
We're solid - erasing the alien planet We're solid - erasing the alien planet
We're solid We're solid
So glorious we'll fly like the eagle in the sky And I know it's gonna be victory
We're solid - erasing the alien planet We're solid - erasing the alien planet We're solid We're solid
8. Fire Below
[Music/Lyrics: Hansen]
Lead us not into temptation as we grow in fear Free your mind from all frustrations as they're drawing near Take your time, live in sin, choose your alibis Work all day, die in pain, you're a sacrifice
They're gonna send you down to hell And put your body on a shelf
This is the island of damnation, Where all your dreams are gonna fall Your mind is screaming for salvation And then your world is gonna blow Down in the fire below Below
Silent tears are running down my face into the night As I'm getting closer to my heart that's full of fright
They lead me down a steep hell spire And burn my body in the fire
This is the island of damnation, Where all your dreams are gonna fall My mind is screaming for salvation My heart is torn apart and thrown Into the fire below Below
They're gonna send you down to hell And put your body on a shelf
This is the island of damnation, Where all your dreams are gonna fall My mind is screaming for salvation My heart is torn apart and thrown Into the fire below
The fire below Go down, to nowhere, go down, down They take you to Hell Into the fire They're taking you down Into the fire The fire below
9. Follow Me
[Music/Lyrics: Richter]
Will you follow me into the light The fortress of wisdom, a star shining bright The garden of heavenly sin A kingdom of beauty to please you within
Where do we go from here? Leaving our memories behind It's time to free your mind
Hey you! I'll make your dreams come true I can take you anywhere Just call on me and I'll be there
Follow me And I will guarantee Your life will never be the same Hear me callin', won't you follow me
Will you follow me into the fight You smile as you die when you're close to the light Your dreams will be lost in the haze Your innocence dying in so many ways
Where do we go from here? Leaving our dreams far behind To fight the final fight
Hey you! I'll make your dreams come true I can take you anywhere Just call on me and I'll be there
Follow me Satisfaction guaranteed We'll be in perfect harmony So follow me, follow me
Where do we go from here? Reaching our destiny's end And nothing will remain
Follow me To the land of make believe Close your eyes I will be there And I can take you anywhere
Sacrifice At the gates of paradise It's a world full of illusions By the masters of confusion, follow me...
Will you still follow me?...
10. Eagle
[Music/Lyrics: Hansen]
I was lost, had no reason I was blind, saw no treason I was devastated, couldn't take no more Man infuriated, raging thunderstorm
Where's it gone, the golden future Where's it now, the dream come true All we are, eternal sinners Hiding in their darkened room
And I hear the cry of an eagle Out in the heavens he will not obey I hear the cry of an eagle Riding on wings of tomorrow that take me away
I was scared, for a lifetime I've been had, nuclear crime Is this never ending, grand catastrophy Here I am ascending, from this misery
Where's it now, your golden future Where's it gone, your dream come true All I see, immortal sinners Rising fear, I'm leaving you
And I hear the cry of an eagle Out in the heavens he will not obey I'm riding the sky like an eagle Follow the sunrise on wings that will take me away
Faster, faster to the light, in this world too many fights Devastation, termination, leave the world for recreation
Out in my dreamworld there's a better place to be Cause all this world is full of lies Breaking chains that hold me down I fly up to the sun Another place, another life
I'm riding the sky like an eagle Out in the heavens I will not obey I'm riding the sky like an eagle Follow the sunrise on wings that will take me away Away...
11. Lake Of Tears
[Music/Lyrics: Richter]
On the edge of the rainbow Where eagles learn to fly All of our dreams, they seemed so clear Into the morning Into the light of dawn We're flying higher than before
And when I see the light that's shining from your eyes Even brighter than before We're riding the wind to reach the golden dawn We have done it all before
Here I stand Call on you again But my heart is filled with fear Like an eternal flame Our love will remain As we sail the lake of tears
Sometimes I wonder You're so close but you're so far Seems life will never be the same Sigh for the morning To find the light of day Dream of fortune fades away
Here I stand Call on you again But my heart is filled with fear Like an eternal flame Our love will remain As we sail the lake of tears
Here I stand Call on you again But my heart is filled with fear Like an eternal flame Our love will remain As we sail the lake... Here I stand Call on you again But my heart is filled with fear All the tears that I've cried For the love of my life As I sailed the lake of tears Like an eternal flame Our love will remain As we sail the lake of tears

1. Anywhere In The Galaxy
[Words & Music by Hansen]
Staring out the window at places in the starlit horizon I'm waiting in the darkness for arrival but the sands of my time are running low
Lost and stranded far away from home Peeping through window in the darkness - parted our hearts glowing turning circles where we go - no, they won't let go, let go blind our souls with raging burning madness
Out in the heavens we're ready to fight the final conclusion is roaring inside
Gaze at the stars, the glowing god of mars is shinning for us, anywhere in the galaxy time is right for us to see the world will long for liberty the fallen heroes calling me anywhere in the galaxy
Anywhere... in the galaxy Anywhere... in the galaxy
And now our blood is boiling on the edge of life where is the place for our survivor
Up to the stars, we have come from the night the final conclusion is roaring inside
Gaze at the stars, the glowing god of mars is shining for us, anywhere in the galaxy time is right for us to see the world will long for liberty the fallen heroes calling me anywhere in the galaxy
Anywhere in the galaxy we will fight for our destiny anywhere in the galaxy we will always run free
Anywhere in the galaxy anywhere in the galaxy
And now the story finally ends With no disgrace for our survival Outrageous fury in my hands And turning circles turn no more
Too late to cry Too proud to die
Gaze at the stars, the glowing god of mars is shining for us, anywhere in the galaxy time is right for us to see the world will long for liberty the fallen heroes calling me anywhere in the galaxy
2. Razorblade Sigh
[Words & Music by Hansen]
Out of the valley of death the man turns his back stares up to the hills, his eyes burning red he licks his palm, with brown dried blood turns, grinning teeth, up to his lord
The darkness of the night turns bright at his cry so quiet but deadly Burning deep within, and now he will begin he cries out to his lord forevermore
It's the razorblade sigh shooting up to the sky blood on the wings, one of the kings there's a burning within when the storm closes in he is one of a kind, in the hands of time razorblade
His raging fire burns you with desire as you're taken down into his gravity he wants you now, into his masterplan and he'll be taking you into his dignity
Tires are burning on the way through hell fallen angel set me free wheels are turning, take me far below Holding out my hands in victory
It's the razorblade sigh shooting up to the sky blood on the wings, one of the kings there's a burning within when the storm closes in he is one of a kind, in the hands of time razorblade, razorblade
Death angel is coming You see him ride across the land time in his hands
The darkness of the night turns bright at his cry it's burning deep within he cries for more
As I awake at the end of the road there's a rainbow slowly he'll fade, the dawning of time on the wings of the razor As I awake at the end of the road there's a rainbow slowly he'll fade away, the dawning of time on the wings of the razorblade
3. Send Me A Sign
[Words & Music by Richter]
Out of the dark he came without a warning the guarding light I didn't see...
on a story tellers night he spoke his words of wisdom the tales he told from far beyond that no one understood
He had the gift of prophecy he wove a web of mystery a thousand lives shone gracious in his eyes
Send me a sign for too long you kept me waiting send me a sign from the eternal skies send me a sign send me a sign
He disappeared in the early haze of morning and with him left his prophecies they didn't care...
All the years that passed away he's locked inside my head his tales became reality the prophecies he said
He was the chosen one to see his words will burn eternally it hurts, that no one understands
Send me a sign for too long you kept me waiting send me a sign from the eternal skies send me a sign send me a sign
He had the gift of prophecy he gave a guarding light to me I know, he set my spirit free
Send me a sign send me a sign send me a sign for too long you kept me waiting send me a sign to open their eyes send me a sign send me a sign send me a sign send me a sign
4. Strangers In The Night
[Words by Zimmermann/Hansen] [Music by Zimmermann]
We lay our souls into your hands and our freedom remains we ride on wings of hope and our star will rise again
Run before you die can't you hear the warning no regrets tonight - now your end is coming it's your sacrifice - to destroy your body now you pay the price raging fury lasts forever
Their mission is so glorious raising hope in all of us there we stand united hand in hand
They come from a land far beyond A million miles behind the sun they come from nowhere brave inside strangers in the night
Time is running by - no more deadly spirals Now we realize - pray for our survival
Eyes are shining glorious marching in victorious there they stand united hand in hand
They come from a land far beyond a million miles still riding on they come from nowhere to brave inside strangers in the night
They come for freedom, come to fight come to save us all we are one until we die, waiting for the call
They come from a land far beyond a million miles behind the sun they come to lead us to survive strangers in the night
We lay our souls into your hands and our freedom remains we ride on wings of hope and your star will rise again
5. Gardens Of The Sinner
[Words by Zimmermann/Hansen] [Music by Zimmermann]
As the heat is rising, out there in the past Fallen angels calling, they have come to last they are coming out of the dark
Then the horsemen ride out every thing grows cold now their armies march in Out there from the underworld
I do not want my eyes to see I never wanted to believe
Take me to the gardens of the sinner Bury me and let me rest in peace now the time of truth has come for everyone The fallen angel stands in victory
The final seal was broken it opened up the gates for the dark avengers their anger kills the light and then...
I do not want my eyes to see I never wanted to believe
Take me to the gardens of the sinner Bury me and let me rest in peace now the time of truth has come for everyone The fallen angel stands in victory
As the seventh angel opened up the seal his curse brought endless disease and as the wind carried the deadly seed to the minds of the doomed they were gone for the stage of hell
Take me to the gardens of the sinner take me down and let me rest in peace now the time for truth has come for everyone the fallen angel laughs and grins now...
Take me to the gardens of the sinner Bury me and let me rest in peace celebrate the time of truth for everyone The fallen angel stands in victory
6. Short As Hell
[Words & Music by Hansen]
So now we talk about destruction a human race that's left to die nobody ever will believe it until we face it eye to eye
Let us talk about hell
Our future shines in darkest colours you'll never change it, never will ain't nothing left now to believe in and so we face the overkill
Hey mother mercy leave me be do you expect me now to cry
Time will wait for noone Time is short as hell
time, time, time is short as hell
All is lost, into the underworld we fade until our live is gone count the cost then from the darkness whipped away into the underworld we fade Where the darkness awaits
Time will wait for noone Time is short as hell, hell, hell
Time...
7. It's A Sin
[Words & Music by Neil Francis Tennant/Chris Lowe]
When I look back upon my life It's always with a sense of shame I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do No matter where or when or who There's one thing in common, too It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done Everything I'll ever do Every place I've ever been Everywhere I'm going to It's a sin
At school they taught me how to be So pure in thought and word and deed They didn't quite succeed For everything I long to do No matter where or when or who There's thing in common, too It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done Everything I'll ever do Every place I've ever been Everywhere I'm going to It's a sin
Father forgive me, I tried not to do it Turned over a new leaf, then tore right through it Whatever you taught me, I didn't believe it Father, you fought me, 'cause I didn't care And I still don't understand
So I look back upon my life Forever with a sense of shame I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do No matter where or when or who There's thing in common, too It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done Everything I'll ever do Every place I've ever been Everywhere I'm going to - it's a sin It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
8. Heavy Metal Universe
[Words & Music by Hansen]
We're the masters of the wind We're demons left in howl we're the undefeated warriors we have heard the call
We're the keepers and the leaders of the only thing we love we're the saviours and protectors from above

9. Wings Of Destiny
[WORDS & MUSIC BY Richter]
Do you remember the days when living was meant to be free not looking for fortune not looking for fame the beauty of life was the key
We lived as one to conquer the world a thousand dreams to come true we knew in the end we'll find the meaning of life and the truth
So proud and full of passion we formed a better world we fought against oppression and wisdom was our sword
On the path of glory we searched the rainbow's end lives meant to share where's the sign that we'd sent?
On the sad wings of destiny we're kings without a throne if you believe in unity believe 'cause you're not alone sad wings of destiny the haunting thoughts of pain the world's a patient majesty, but believe the time, the time will take its toll
Now its the time for a change the days of your childhood are gone the fool and the wise man will burn at the stake confusion remaining too long
Violence and hate I won't see anymore the innocent victims of fate the prophets have written their words on the wall wake up before it's too late
On the path of glory we searched the rainbow's end lives meant to share where's the sign that we'd sent?
On the sad wings of destiny we're kings without a throne if you believe in unity believe 'cause you're not alone sad wings of destiny the haunting thoughts of pain the world's a patient majesty, but believe believe if you won't change your mind all will remain the same and soon we'll find a common end
On the path of glory we searched the rainbow's end lives meant to share where's the sign that we'd sent?
On the sad wings of destiny we're kings without a throne if you believe in unity believe 'cause you're not alone Sweet child of innocence are you drowning in your tears? the time has come for you my friend don't hide from evil made by our own hands let us try to fly again one day we will rise again on wings of hope to be free...
10. Hand Of Fate
[Words by Hansen/Schl¤chter] [Music by Schl¤chter]
Now... that all seems so quiet and we all have survived but after all still we fear the hand of fate... tonight
Men on the mountain from hell you came to destroy the realm of our freedom endangered to fade in the void
Now you are back on the earth taking your wrath to our land an ocean full of darkness awaits
we will resist, fight until the end
And down below the dark lord awaits to fight our souls with hate our hearts with rage
10.000 dreams for glory rise now they're awaiting the hand of fate tonight
So we have gathered here beyond the endless skies and we are marching on and on forevermore for the dark lord - he must fall
Out on the edge of the world the wasted years are coming to an end the oceans of evil shall fade master of doom - we're taking it back again
Deep in our hearts we hear the call of the wild spirits of yesterday will fly away
10.000 dreams for glory rise now they're awaiting the hand of fate tonight
10.000 dreams for glory rise now they're awaiting the hand of fate tonight 10.000 dreams for glory rise now we're awaiting the hand of fate tonight
11. Armageddon
[Words & Music by Hansen]
Now all you sinners this is the prophecy the revelation of your own destiny you had a dream once A dream that you have sold and now my brother annihilation is foretold
Will you remember ancient times when we rode across the air when the day of judgement comes
and when your world is gonna blow through your heart and take your soul in the twilight of the sun
I believe there's no tomorrow when we all will sink in sorrow when the day of judgement finally comes
It's the end of the world as we know it and it's only just begun the eyes of the world are closin' forever when the day of the judgement will come won't you help me now
Now tell me mother earth oh, we went wrong in the heart of everyone do you remember how it had begun in the desert in the twilight of the sun all dead and gone can you heal me, I am not the only one can you feel me, I don't want to be undone I'm everyone
Save me from this living hell I don't wanna know another tale someone help me through this on the way hear me now
It's the end of the world as we know it and it's only just begun the eyes of the world are closin' forever when the day of the judgement will come won't you help me now
All gods creation is finally dead and gone our revelation, the day of the judgement comes forevermore I stand alone the final fury has begun when the day has come
Guardians of the monsters of the earth take our lives away and you forever will be crushed keepers of the darkness in this world we will not surrender to the evil of your birth Hope will never die and the clear blue sunny sky will ease the pain guardians of the monsters of the earth
Lead us not into the temptation save us from the revelations
I stand alone, I stand alone I stand alone, inside my head Noone can hear, noone can hear noone can hear, my little word
Holy father take me on your wings of love I wish that I could be forever free, oh yeah
It's the end of the world as we know it and it's only just begun the eyes of the world are closin' forever when the day of the judgement has... end of the world as we know it and it's only just begun the eyes of the world are closin' forever when the day of the judgement has come won't you help me now
Now all your sinners this is the prophecy the revelation of your own destiny sleep well and dream on the dream that you have sold and now my brothers this world is slowly getting cold
12. A While in Dreamland
[Bonus Track]
I don't mind I don't mind at all I don't mind to dream a while I don't mind at all
Every night I'm only waiting, For the bird of dreams in me Take me on your wings and guide me Just take me on a journey far away
I don't mind to fly away to dreamland The easy way out of a world so cold I don't mind to say goodbye to all I see around Only for a while
Out in the dreamworld there's a fortune It's only waiting to be found I gaze around and I think this must be magic 'Cause there's no limit all around
I don't mind to stay a while in dreamland So come on now and take me up with you If together we would fly for all eternity I would not refuse
I had it all, I wouldn't mind my friend To say goodbye, I'm feeling free To stay or leave is just an easy case Your wings will always comfort me
I don't mind to stay a while in dreamland A place to leave my sorrows far behind Together we will fly through Heaven and through Hell To no man's land, no man's world
Together we will fly for all eternity Only you and me Only you and me On our way to our land of the free...
13. Rich & Famous
['95 Version]
[Bonus Track]
I don't believe in fame, I believe in music. I don't believe in money, I believe in the power of love. I know I got a brain and I know how to use it. I don't want no one to stick his finger in my pie.
You think you put your best foot forward But it is moved by someone else. In blind belief you follow every path that says: I lead you to a universe of fortune, fame and luck.
I don't believe in Rock 'n' Roll illusions. I don't believe that what they say must always be the truth. I don't believe in good guys against bad guys. I just might as well say I believe in Santa Claus.
You think you put your best foot forward But it is moved by someone else. In blind belief you follow every path that says: I lead you to a universe of fortune, fame and luck.
Do you really wanna be - rich and famous, rich and famous. Do you really wanna be - rich and famous now.
Mr. Big shot what is your game Mr. Big shot what is your final aim. Now you wonder who is to blame. Mr. Big shot what is your final aim in life.
Rich and famous, house with two hours, big jacuzzi, car with TV, private airplane, furs and diamonds, seafood cocktails Crap and bullshit!
Do you really wanna be - rich and famous, rich and famous. Do you really wanna be - rich and famous now. Everybody’s wants to be- rich and famous, rich and famous. Do you really wanna be - rich and famous now.
Rich and famous, oh so famous, you’re so famous, rich and famous
14. Long Live Rock 'N' Roll
[Originally performed by Rainbow]
[Bonus Track]
All right Rock and roll, yeah
At the end of a dream If you know where I mean When the mist just starts to clear
In a similar way At the end of today I can feel the sound of writing on the wall It cries for you It's the least that you can do Like a spiral on the wind I can hear it screamin' in my mind
Long live rock and roll Long live rock 'n' roll Long live rock and roll
In a different time When the words didn't rhyme You could never quite be sure Then on with the change It was simple but strange And you knew the feeling seemed to say it all It cries for you It's the least that you can do Like a spiral on the wind I can hear it screamin' in my mind
Long live rock and roll Long live rock 'n' roll Long live rock and roll I'm losing control
Long live rock and roll Long live rock 'n' roll Long live rock and roll
If you suddenly see What has happened to me You should spread the word around
And tell everyone here That it is perfectly clear They can sail above it all on what they've found It cries for you It's the least that you can do Like a sound that's everywhere I can hear it screaming through the air
Long live rock and roll Long live rock 'n' roll Long live rock and roll
Long live rock and roll Long live rock 'n' roll Long live rock and roll
Long live rock and roll Long live rock 'n' roll Long live rock and roll
Long live rock and roll Long live rock 'n' roll Long live rock and roll

I have come from so far away From the sunlight of my home And I have seen it's the only way Now my sun is dead and gone
I raise my head in silent anger Seems there is no place for me The only way out is to go Where no one's gone before
Fly - Beyond the gates of space and time Another universe is mine And I can't wait untill tomorrow Ride - There's a call from deep within I know I won't return again 'Cause I will dive into the black hole
Don't wait for me, 'cause I won't come back Oh don't wait for me, no I won't come back Oh don't wait for me, no I won't come back
Oh, oh, oh ...
Thunder and lightning and fire Are guiding the trip of my life Insatiable burning desire As into the unknown I dive
I raise my head in silent anger Seems there is no place for me The only way out is to go Where no one's gone before
Fly - Beyond the gates of space and time Another universe is mine Ind I can't wait until tomorrow Ride - There is a call from deep within I know I won't return again 'Cause I will dive into the black hole
Don't wait for me, 'cause I won't come back Oh don't wait for me, no I won't come back Oh don't wait for me, no I won't come back
Oh, oh, oh, don't wait
There was a trigger, for my decision It's right behind my eyes Into the darkness of my vision I let my spirit rise
I wanna see the black hole, into the dark I wanna dive into the black hole, down into the dark
Into the black hole, into the dark Into the spiral, into the dark, the dark, the dark
[ Solo: Kai / Harmony: Henjo / Melo: Kai ]
If there's a possible chance for something that can be Called future behind the spiral The only way to find out, is to leave the final frontier To eternity and fly
I will fly - Beyond the gates of space and time I leave the universe behind And I can't wait untill tomorrow
Fly - Beyond the gates of space and time I know the universe is mine 'Cause I will dive into the black hole Ride - And there's a call from deep within I know I won't return again 'Cause I will dive into the black hole
Don't wait for me, 'cause I won't come back Oh don't wait for me, no I won't come back Oh don't wait for me, no I won't come back
Oh, oh, oh, don't wait

2. Men, Martians And Machines
[ Music & Lyrics: Hansen ]
From out of space we came on to the earth From far away on solar beams A dying race to find survival here For our kind to plant our seeds
Our analysis of the atmosphere Was good and so we touched the ground A rising simple structured life form there Seemed to be perfect what we'd found
We think in anger of our fallin dream Our home is now a fading light The cracks appeared and they where pointing at the end And so we came to save our lives
Men, Martians and Machines
You were too young to understand our plans To see the things up in the sky We were the gods and we have tought you well And so we fond eternal life
We gained control upon our destiny Our ships were flying everywhere The cracks appeared our plan was bound to fall again And now the circle's closing in
Men, Martians and Machines
[ Solos: Both / Kai ]
We can't control our human sacrifice Again we fear for our lives The cracks appeared our brains start to distort again Now we gonna say goodbye
Men, Martians and Machines
[SO, IF "MARTIANS" HAD BVEEN COMMING TO THE EARTH IN MIGHTY MACHINES, BECAUSE THEIR PLANET WAS WASTED, MAYBE WE WILL BE THE NEXT MARSIANS, ONE DAY CONQERING ANOTHER PLANET. IT MIGHT BE A TURNING CIRCLE.]
3. No Stranger (Another Day In Life)
[ Music & Lyrics: Hansen ]
I see a hole in the sky But don't ask me for why I'm so down and lonely No one will understand why There's a voice in my head And I know It's the only
I see the children play, with fire in their eyes And when the day begins ... another day in life
I'm standing tall, 'cause I won't fall 'Cause I'm no stranger to myself I see horizons in my sky 'Cause I'm no stranger to myself
Days will full of joy Are drivin' down to the pain Into the sun, a mothers son It's just about to fly
I see the morning come, with fire in my eyes And when the day begins ... another day in life
I'm standing tall 'cause I won't fall I'm no stranger to myself I see horizons in my sky 'Cause I'm no stranger to myself
[ Solos: Kai / Both ]
I see the morning come, with fire in the sky And now the day begins ... another day in life
I'm standing tall, 'cause I won't fall I'm no stranger to myself I see horizons in my sky 'Cause I'm no stranger to myself No, no I'm no stranger to myself
[ABOUS STRENGHT YOU CAN GET WHEN YOU KNOW YOURSELF, AND THEY TRY TO PUT YOUR POWER INTO THE GOOD THINGS EVERY DAY.]
4. Somewhere Out In Space
[ Music & Lyrics: Hansen ]
I'm trapped in a castle of illusionsout in space, - no more illusions - Out in a jorney, on a mission for the human race Terrified. I had to realise that I've been takin' to the goods of fire I got nowhere to stand, 'cause I'm a running man... to get away
All that I see is the years... somewhere out in space And it's time for deliverance
Tomorrow, I'll see it, another day's rise ... right before my eyes Been sinking in sorrow, but now I'm gonna rise No more reasons why
I'm a watcher in the dark, I'm so cold inside my heart I'm a temple in the storm, and I'm bound to be reborn
Take me down to the underground, let me see the gods of fire 'Cause I'm know where they live and I know where they stand, Another reason there to leave Take me down, take me down, take me to the underground I wanna meet the gods of fire And all of their intention is the center of it all
All that I see is the years ... somewhere out in space and it's time for deliverance Now that I know I've got to get away Time for deliverance now
And as the sun appeared, up in the sky I saw another day,that's drifting by I saw my people cry, a million tears Into eternity they disappeared
[ Solo: Kai / Both / Both left and right / Kai / Both ]
Now it's time to say goodbye, or we will sink in sorrow No, we don't know the reason why, another day, tomorrow
Oh, thank you for giving me hope Oh, follow me into a new life
All tha I see is the years, all that I see is the tears
All that I se is the years ... somewhere out in space And it's time for deliverance All that I see is the fear ... somewhere out in space And it's time for deliverance I wanna know how to get away, I wanna know how to get away Come set me free, just set me free, just let me go I wanna get away, get away Somwhere out in space

5. The Guardians Of Mankind
[ Music & Lyrics: Henjo Richter ]
For no one to see for no one to hear They fight for our souls without any fear When injustice done they open their gates To maintain balance between good and bad
And the winds of freedom blow they vanish into haze The mighty shadow turns away and wisdom conquers hate
The guardians of Mankind Are losin' their faith 'Cause malice and falseness Spread over the human race The guardians of mankind Won't shelter our souls The rulers of darkness Will soon gain control
Don't try to deceive them don't try to play false 'Cause losing their favour will be the end of shelter
And as the winds of freedom blow they vanish into haze The mighty shadow turns away and wisdom conquers hate
The guardians of Mankind
[ Solo Henjo, Both, Henjo ]
And as the winds of freedom blow they vanish into haze The mighty shadow turns away and wisdom conquers hate
The guardians of Mankind Are losin' their faith 'Cause malice and falseness Spread over the human race If guardians of mankind Won't shelter our souls The rulers of darkness Will soon gain control

6. The Landing
[ Music: Schlachter, Lyrics: Hansen]
High in the machines Above the earth We observe your lifeform We've come for you
Riding the machines We'll take your souls Riding the machines We've come to rule
About 400 000 years ago When evolution was still on the make An extraterrestial race Appeared in our part of the galaxy Heading straight to the earth
Riding the machines We'll take your souls Riding the machines We've come for you
When they finally landed They found a planet with perfect survival conditions A lower lifeform called humans Considered them as gods From somewhere out of space

7. Valley Of The Kings
[Music & Lyrics: Hansen]
Father can you hear me, did you talk to mother earth What did they say, what did they see, now ... is time for your rebirth ?
Open up the silent center of your mind, I now want to know the future of your kind
In the valley of the kings, when the storm breaks loose again Then the gods return to fight, for the future in their lives In the valley of the kings
Oh mother do you hear me, did you talk to father moon I don't want to leave my brothers in this temple of their doom
Open up the silent center of your mind, I now want to know the future of your kind
In the valley of the kings, when the storms break loose again Then the gods will spread their wings, in the valley of the kings
Ra vvite, deus sanktus, ra vite Ra vite, revertate, ra vite
[ Solos: Kai / Both / Kai / Henjo ]
Oh mother earth do you believe there is a place for us to go Come set us free again and let us fly away and give us hope
There'll be a time for us to fly to our thrones up in the sky
In the valley of the kings, when the storm breaks loose again Then the gods will spread their wings, in the valley of the kings

8. Pray
[Music: Schlachter Lyrics: Hansen]
So where we stand again Like dust on mother earth And we hide our faces in our dreams
Only emptiness where angels flew - high on golden wings And the voice of god has vanished now - lost inside our dreams But the only way to go is heaven
All we can do is pray In the darkness we stand with the world in our hands And we pray For a better tomorrow We wait
Far beyond the horizon There's a sound in the sky The voice of glory I hear a silent cry When the heroes of yesterday are gone
All we can do is pray In the darkness we hide and we wait for the light And we pray Oh we pray
Let us pray
[ Solo: Kai ]
I've seen the darkside of the moon in my dreams Now I know it ain't a place to live for us all
All our gods creation is dead and gone Now we stand like children all alone forever
All we can do is pray Forever and forever and forever more For a better tomorrow - we wait
pray There's a light in the dark And it shining so bright on our way Still there is hope on our way And we pray Oh, pray
[SOMETIMES, HOPE IS ONLY IN THE UNSEEN]
9. The Winged Horse
[ Music & Lyrics: Henjo Richter ]
In a land, far beyond the sun Rules the darkness, faceless magician Black towers which raise into the sky Castle of tears, shadows passing by
Blood is covering the mighty walls Of those who lost their skin and bones No one ever saw the light Oh, slaves of the night
There's a young man, chained on a stake Liveless body, he has no strenght to break His shirt is bloody, his head is hanging down He's mean to die, the ruler took his crown
The wind howles through the emtiness A different sound as in the past Screameng echoes in the lanes Oh, victims of the pain
The clouds passing by, a hole breaks the sky Light refract the dark and fills the place White winged horse, such a powerfull force Gallops through the sky to break the chains
The winged horse lands by the one It snorts and stamps, the escape has just begun The chains are broken, silence fills the place He backs the horse with his last ounce of strenght
The white horse rears and spreads its wings To reach the sky and search the kings The one will lead to win at last Oh, rulers of the past
The clouds passing by, a hole breaks the sky Light refract the dark and fills the place The white winged horse like a powerfull force Gallops through the sky to free the land
The white horse rears and spreads...
[ Solo: Henjo / Kai / Henjo / Both / Henjo
The kings return, armed with mighty swords To retake the land and banish evil thoughts They fight againist the shadows, captured souls of the dark might Dethrone, the evil ruler to bring the sun to the night.
The battle takes heavy toll But they achieve what they're fighting for Now the land is free again Oh, no more blood and pain
The clouds passing by, a hole breaks the sky Light refract the dark and fills the place White winged horse, such a powerful force Gallops through the sky to free the land
But still at night when darkness rules again Whispering shadows creeping through the lanes Evil creatures of the expelled magician Oh, it's a fight you'll never win

11. Lost In The Future
[ Music: Schlachter, Lyrics: Hansen ]
Atomic fallout scans the sky Another placve where people die And with the massive final punch We left a wound of pain
And now pollutions everywhere Another death is in the air A million people left alone Down in their desperate, blackened homes
Tomorrow there'll be no sun Hanging up in the sky Tomorrow all dead and gone And I wish I could fly
We are lost, in the future, we are lost In a dream we can't control No way
So tell me now computer god Is there a way to leave the quod On this merciless ride When someone faces he will die
We plug our lives into machines And as they're guiding our dreams Weªã individually lost As we are nailed to our cross
Tomorrow there'll be a sun Hanging up in the sky Tomorrow I'm dead and gone Oh I wish that I could fly
We are lost, in the future, we are lost It's a nightmare, we are lost In the future, we are lost In a dream we'll never see
[ Solo: Both / Henjo / Kai / Both ]
All hope is lost, but nothing gained We're crying again Is this the end ?
Lost, in the future, we are lost It's a nightmare, we are lost In the future, we are lost In a dream we can't control
We're lost, so lost We're lost, so lost We all are lost !

I'm watching the mountains I'm watching the sea Observing the creatures I am lost - set me free Across the heavens I made my way I've seen empires rise and blown away
I have arrived at my destiny but after all there's just emptiness in me Dot in the darkness - I am going mad Where are the others - there's silence in my head
'Cause I'm watcher in the sky I've seen universes die Out in the cold my systems overload I am lost in time Watcher in the sky
I'm trapped in this nightmare Endless tortures and pain, milleniums have gone by Uhhh, it drives me insane
Who am I now ? I'm not man - I'm not machine I gave my life away for the Iron Savior dream
'Cause I'm watcher in the sky ...
[ Solo: Kai ]
[ Piet: ] Hooked to the circuits of a lifeless, cold machine Lost in a world of artificial means Ripped out of my body I'll stand the rest of time Am I perpetual ? - am I devine ?
[ Solo: Piet / Kai ]
I'm a watcher in the sky My soul has drowned in the tears I cannot cry I'm the watcher the chosen one but I am lost in time I'm a watcher in the sky I've seen the years go by I am the chosen one Out in the cold my systems overload and I am lost in time Watcher in the sky Watching the mountains, watching the sea, watching the creatures You'll never be free Watcher in the sky

14. Shine On
[Music: Schlachter, Lyrics: Hansen]
We drive, we drive, we're riding on through the universe We've come to reach our destination planet earth We come, we run, oyu cannot see us, flying in our spaceships, shooting cross the sky We explore and we all know what this is about for us all
So many light years we have travelled far from home Someday we'll be there I know
Shine on rising star We travelled such a long way But still you seem so far Shine on, Rising star for our belief in unity at heart Rising Star Come on and shine
Living was torture and dying release A declining world, no future, no hope We were passing the point of no return
So many light years, still we travel on and on And someday we will call you home
Shine on, Rising Star Diamond in the distance, still you seem so far Shine on, Rising Star Forever light the darkness in our hearts Rising Star, Rising Star
Salvation, Damnation We crawl across the sky with pain Forever we will fly
Out in the darkness There's a never ending light
[ Solo: Both ]
Still we are far away But we'll be there one day Someday we will call you home
Shine on, Rising Star We travelled such a long way but still you seem so far Shine on, Rising Star Forever light the darkness in our hearts Rising Star, Rising Star
Shadows in the darkness, so far away from home Standing all alone, noone there beside me Shadows all around, so far away from home I know I'm not alone, It seems we're lost in space and time Shine on Shine on now, and warm the tears we've shed through years It's our prison, final reason for the freedom and the glory that we feel Are you for real ?
Shine on, Rising Star Diamond in the distance Still you seem so far Shine on, Rising Star Forever light the darkness in our hearts Rising Star, Rising Star Shine on, Rising Star Come on and shine for us Shine on, shine forever more Shine on, Our survival Rising Star, the last chance for us all The only hope for our future and a home For us all For us all Come on and shine, Rising Star

15. Return To Fantasy
[Originally performed by Uriah Heep]
[Bonus Track]
Searching every day, looking every way Trying to make a connection, to find a piece of the action Like a hungry poet, who doesn't know He is close to perfection, choice is the question
Moonlight night after moonlight night Side by side they will see us ride VBut if they cared to look, than they would see It's our return to fantasy, fantasy, fantasy Fantasy, fantasy, fantasy
Can you understand, that in every man There's a need to unwind, that's never been defind Somewhere deep within, there's another bveing You are somehow avbusing, by the person you're using
Moonlight night after moonlight night Side vby side they will see us ride But if they cvared to look, than they would see It's our return to fantasy, fantasy, fantasy Fantasy, fantasy, fantasy
Travvelling faster than lightning Closer than ever before We can go on for you, and take you nearer to The legend of mystery from the beginning of time Dreaming... TIME... Dreaming We can return to the land of the good and the kind TIME... Dreaming... TIME... Dreaming Why don't you come to our party and open your minds
In another place, there's a newer face Like an unfinished painting, your creator is waiting The brush and pen describe, what it is inside That will set your mind thinking, while the others are sinking
Moonlight night after moonlight night Side by, side they will se us ride But if they cared to look, than they would see It's just our return to fantasy, fantasy, fantasy, oh yeah Fantasy, fantasy, fantasy
16. Miracle
[Bonus Track]
I was walking through a misty day, the sky was cold and grey An old man came right up to me and said, "I know your name." He said he'd like to talk to me only for a while I had no plans, so I said OK, and he started with a sigh and said: "I've seen a million years pass right away. I've seen the gods of yesterday, they're old and grey. If you will fail, there's only one more way."
What we need right now, is a miracle on earth Let our hearts cry out, so our voices can be heard Let us walk away together, from the never ending rain 'Til the sun will shine for all of us again.
He said all life he'd been searchin' for a way to find the clue That love will turn the fear to hope, skies of grey to blue.
"Let the miracle come true my friend", this is what he said "Let's give ourselves a second chance for another lap in the race. "And then a million stars will shine to light our way. And all the trears from yesterday, ... forever washed away."
What we need right now, is a miracle on earth Let our hearts cry out, so our voices can be heard Let us walk away together, from the never ending rain 'Til the sun will shine for all of us again.
Take my hand and you will see the mirror of your destiny So many came to read the signs, to understand their meaning Now I see I do not dare, but something's calling me So many men cannot bread free, the one who will succeed, I wonder if it's me
What we need right now, is a miracle on earth Let our hearts cry out, so our voices can be heard Let us walk away together, from the never ending rain 'Til the sun will shine for all of us again.
It's a miracle we need Let hearts unite, so our voices shake the earth Let us walk away together from the never ending rain 'Til the sun will shine for all of us again
We need a miracle, a miracle, a miracle on earth Let our hearts cry out for the miracle Let the stars shine on For the miracle, the miracle on earth Our hearts, our hearts shall unite for the miracle
17. Victim of Changes
[Originally performed by Judas Priest]
[Bonus Track]
Whiskey woman don't you know that you are drivin' me insane The liquor you give stems your will to live and gets right to my brain Don't you know you're driving me insane You're tryin' to find your way through life You're tryin' to get some new direction Another woman got her man She won't find no new connection
Takes another drink or two, things look better when she's through
Takes another look around, you're not goin' anywhere You've realized you're gettin' old and no one seems to care You're tryin' to find your way again You're tryin' to find some new... Another woman's got her man But she won't find a new...
Takes another drink or two, things look better when she's through
You 'bin foolin' with some hot guy I want to know why is it why Get up get out you know you really blew it I've had enough, I've had enough, good God pluck me
Once she was wonderful Once she was fine Once she was wonderful When she was mine
Now change has come over her body, she doesn't see me anymore Now change has come over her body, she doesn't see me anymore
Changes, changes, changes, changes Victim of changes

1. Rebellion In Dreamland
Voices are calling from somewhere below Melting on the eastern shore Rain is falling down on me, Been waiting for eternity... I'll be there! Freedom for us all!
And I wonder why, why my heart still yearns And I wonder why, why the earth still turns And I wonder why, why the sky turns black Still I wonder why, but there is no turning back
For all eternity, for all the world to see We're riding high across the wind And when the storm begins, to wash away all sins We'll find a place where we'll begin
There's something wrong with the world today, Only the people that are fighting for... ...A better place in the world today, They don't believe that they gone too far, ...They're falling down.
By moonlight there's way...for rebellion Here, the world are gone astray...revolution Now, the time has come to pray...halleluja Deep, inside our minds we wait...for rebellion - Here in dreamland we will not obey the masters
...And the earth still turns but I'm on my way, He is on the way, as my heart still yearns ...I'm on my way, now he is on the way, And I cry for more Yes I'm on my way, now he's on the way, Gonna find the secret wall
I have seen the secret dreams Of those who know eternity And makes me feel like a shadow sneaking in In my sleep I'm searching for a way to find The open do leading me to where it all begins There's nothing wrong with the world today...
There's something wrong with the world today, Only the people that are fighting for... ...A better place in the world today, They don't believe that they gone too far, ...They're falling down.
By moonlight there's way...for rebellion Here, the world are gone astray...revolution Now, the time has come to pray...halleluja Deep, inside our minds we wait...for rebellion - Here in dreamland we will not obey the masters
[SOLO: Kai]
Now I'm riding through the air Going to where no one dares On the way I cross the line forevermore. For once in life, I do not care Nothing matters, now I dare On the ride I'll cross the line Forever to be free
[SOLO: Dirk]
I have no fear, Rebellion is here!
2. Man On A Mission
I'm a man on a mission And my deligence won't wait There are supersonic killers in the sky Everything you do will analized, They control every step of your life
Well, mankind has gone to a high extreme To the dark side on the way All I see a masquerade And the termination waits
Oh, I've seen the faces of million leaving here Abandoned time and places of a world Built out of fear The quest is drawing near The mistery of fear is just about to clear
What we need right now, is a miracle on earth Let our hearts cry out, so our voices can be heard Let us walk away together From the never ending rain, 'Til the sun will shine for all of us again
So we travel on at speed of light And the gods will light our way Gotta change our part in the masterplan For another break in the race
And the trumpet sound will soon be heard As the dead in mind awake And the joyfull saints will guide us On the onward flight that we take
Oh, I've seen a million Leaving right away from here Abandoned time and places of a world Built out of fear The quest is drawing near The mistery of fear is just about to clear
What we need right now, is a miracle on earth Let our hearts cry out, so our voices can be heard Let us walk away together From the never ending rain, 'Til the sun will shine for all of us again
Take make hand and you will see, The mirror of your destiny So many came to read the signs, To understand their meaning Now I see it's you and me, So try to understand And we will walk the road of life Together hand in hand I do not dare, I do not dare But something's calling me For those who dared could not break free The one who will succeed, I wonder, is it me?
[SOLO: Kai]
Give us a chance to live, Give us a chance to die, Give us a chance to be free, Without fire from sky Give us a chance to love, Give us a chance to hate Give us a chance, before you kill us all Before you kill us, kill us all Before you kill us all, before you kill us all Before you kill us all
What we need right now, is a miracle on earth Let our hearts cry out, so our voices can be heard Let us walk away together From the never ending rain, 'Til the sun will shine for all of us again
3. Fairytale
Now my friend it's time for you To break the spell
Your heart was torn in two And somebody revealed the wall...
Now we stand together, Our fight is to be free We never will surrender, We ride across the fields
Now it's time to break the silence And the truth shall be revealed Take the questionmark from your head... Let the fairytale be real Let the fairytale be real!
4. All Of The Damned
One time in life is all I need, to satisfy my senses Delusions of reality, are tearing your defenses
I never try to catch the rainbow, But in the end I have a dream...
All of the damned will be wearing the crown It's hard to believe as your world's going down You won't understand why They served you so well You won't understand Why the hopeless are marching through hell
So all you see around you now Is falling down defenseless A free life is our only need, for life is only rented I see a face in my mirror on the wall, And I don't know what it can be I see a face inside the rainbow At the end of the dream, The face in the rainbow is me
All of the damned will be wearing the crown It's hard to believe as your world's turns around No, you won't understand why They served you so well It's hard to believe, Why the hopeless are marching through hell
[SOLO: Kai/both/Kai]
I never though I'd catch the rainbow, But in the end it's still a dream... I see a face in the mirror At the end of the dream, The face in the mirror is me
'Cause all of the damned Will be wearing the crown It's hard to foresee As the world turns around No, you won't understand why They served you so well It's hard to believe, While the hopeless are marching through hell
5. Rising Of The Damned
[Instumental]
6. Gods Of Deliverance
The sun goes down in the western sky The shadows are gonna return, I wander alone through the back of my mind, The twilight of moonstarts to burn
How I can see beyond existence? I'm leaving into the unknown I wander around as I hear someone scream, A voice that is never my own
Oh, how can you dare to dwell All alone in the back of your head As we struggle for life in this emotional We wait for the gods to be there
Gods of deliverance, how can I set free Souls in the underworld Calling out for me...They're in my head
Wherever you'll roam in your dreams, You'll have to remember your name So many are trapped - down in the abyss They're waiting for you and they say
How can you dare to stand all alone On this side of the wall. As we struggle for life in this emotional We wait for salvation to call.
Gods of deliverance, how can I set free Souls in the underworld Calling out for me...They're in my head They're in my head
[SOLO: Dirk/both/Dirk]
Morning comes around again, Shadows are leaving the night Now there's a sense for existence, I've seen it with my own two eyes The vision is now getting clearer, Now that I've seen the unknown The voices I ycarning to live again, The gods will be guiding us home
And you still dare to dwell all alone In the back of your head Still we struggle for life In this emotional hell, Salvation will one day be there
Don't you be misled, By the illusions in your head Then the gods of deliverance will say 'No more illusions, we're leavin' today
Don't you be misled, By the illusions in your head Then the gods of deliverance will say 'No more illusions, we're leavin' today We're in your head - They're in my head We're in your head - In my head...
7. Farewell
Do you remember, How we used to play like kids in the sun Nowadays, there's no light to see And we're feeling cold So the time has come To say forewell my friends My fale is calling loud Now I know - it can get tough And I don't know where I'll be tomorrow Do you - do you wanna know it I don't care about it Somebody said that we could never, ever die Oh what a lie
You will see the light again We'll all be free someday: I know - cause united we stand
Goodbye my friends, I'm leavin' you today My quest is hard, but I must be on my way Now, don't ask why Goodbye, dear Friends
[SOLO: Dirk]
Don't you try to stop me, All I know is: I have to go! There'll be no sense in my life at all, If I stay You will never see it - you will never find it Oh yes I will! Someone will take my place if I DIE!
[An old man said:] Some years ago; they've tried it all before Some men of honour left And searchied for that Land They did not return. Now it's up to you To play a better game - remember When you're out there Don't look back at all!
Goodbye my Friends, I'm leavin' you today The Quest is hard, I hope I'll fine a way home one day
Goodbye my Friends, I'm leavin' you today The Quest is hard, I hope I'll fine a way home one day You will see the light of day We'll all be free again All that's left to say is FAREWELL
8. Salvation's Calling
Hello my name is Mr. Know-It-All My sweet home is deep down in your soul Let me introduce you to the final call Salvation is calling for you
Life is just a kind of fairytale Narrated by a lunatic for man The hope in life is clouded by eternal haze
Tell me what you mean? Do you think about ambition? Why don't you scream? - oh yeah
Don't you realize - What you criticize Now remove yourself - Away from here
Salvation's calling - Salvation's calling The walls are falling - Salvation's calling now!
Hey, you think that you have blown it all Your life, you can't enjoy it to the full When all your dreams are fading to eternal black You're lost in the twilight
Now, what d'you mean What do you think about ambition? Go out and scream, oh yeah
Now realize not criticize Remove yourself away from here
Salvation's calling - Salvation's calling The walls are falling - Salvation's calling now!
Follow your own instinct, Never follow your illusions Just remember from all troubles There is a way out Turn around and see yourself Beyond your own horizons There's an outcry in the void, There's a way out, from here
[SOLO: both/Kai/Dirk]
Goodbye my friend It's time to leave you on your own Get going to find out your own way Believe in what you're doing, Cos I'm in your head You can't hesistate anymore
Don't think about existence Just move your ass - be yourself
Now realize - not criticize Now move yourself - take your chance
Salvation's calling - Salvation's calling The walls are falling - Salvation's calling now!
9. Land Of The Free
Somewhere in desert of the void Beyond the wall We're the last survivors We're the ones who'll never fall Men inside the circle, leave the night! Darkness all around us, Not a single beam of light We all have is our faith No will to win this fight The time has come to break the outer wall (Break down the back wall)
Grab your heart, I'll show you the way, Now hold your head up high
High above, at the edge of the world We're searching for glory and peace When the time has come, you will see Our return to the land of the free
Men inside the circle, Tell me what you feel and see Delusions of reality, The mirror of your dreams
Hold your ground And I'll show you the way Now hold your head up high
High above, at the edge of the world We're searching for glory and peace When the time has come, you will see Our return to the land of the free
[SOLO: Kai/Dirk/Kai/Dirk]
And when the cracks appear, upon the wall We know the moment's here to see it fall And as the sunlight appears again in our sky No wall, no more, no more will darken our life
[MELODY: both/Dirk]
High above, at the edge of the world We're searching for glory and peace When the time has come, you will see Our return to the land of the free Our return to the land of the free
10. The Saviour
[Instumental]
11. Abyss Of The Void
Now I must go, I'll wait for you to follow No turning back But there's a light, I've seen it all, Riding through, never fall. When all is done, we must be one I will return...
The saviour is calling, He's riding through the night. The only, the holy, Returning from the light. We fall to the ground and we pray, 'Cause he's the one. No demons left in this world Since he has won Oh, hear what I say...
All men come, To see the king of the world The time has come for everyone, The saviour stands for all of us, Now praise the one who'll destroy, The evil abyss of the void
His armour, still shining, Though it's torn by fights The brave man, redeemer, He brought us back to life (Oh, yeas he did)
Now fall to the ground and pray, Cause he will come No demons left in this world, Since he has won Now, listen to what I say...
All men come, to see the land of the free The time has come for everyone, The saviour stands for all of us, Now praise the one who'll destroy, The evil abyss of the void The evil abyss of the void
His armour, still shining, Though it's torn by fights The brave man, he battled, On through the night His eyes, they were gleaning like fire And he's prepared, he's the one The young man, He raises his head up To the land in the sun Wherever my spirit may fly, Up to this heavenly fight, I know, That I will return from a mission Beyond our skies - Now
[SOLO: Dirk/Kai]
We fall to the ground and we pray, 'Cause he's the one. No demons left in this world Since he has won Oh, hear what I say...

12. Time To Break Free
Where will you be tomorrow? Really I don't care I have seen the future, rising everywhere Look into the mirror, tell me what you see Piece by piece you'll vanish, Until you disappear!
Now, I'm doing, what I say No more fooling, anyway Beyond this hell, there is a better life to lead You're all undone, emotionless, It's not the way for me
Now I know, there's a better way Let my heart ride out for a brighter day Now it's time to breathe in the open air, With a mind so free, anyway It's time for a change,... It's time to break free!
Had enough of fooling, had enough of lies, Hypocrisy, intriguing, right before my eyes Had enough of hound dogs, barking all the time I agree with Elvis, you ain't no friend of mine
Apart from this, there is a better life, I know You're all undone, emotionless, It's time for me to go
Now I know, there's a better way Let my heart ride out for a brighter day Now it's time to breathe in the open air, With a mind so free, anyway It's time for a change,... It's time to break free!
[SOLO: Kai/both/Kai]
Now I know, there's a better way Let my heart fly free towards a better day Now it's time to breathe, it's the only way, Let my mind ride out, anyway...
Now I know, there's a better way Let my heart ride out for a better day Now it's time to breathe in the open air, With a mind so free, anyway It's time to break free!
It's time to be me, FREE
13. Afterlife
[Dedicated to Ingo Schwichtenberg]
Do you believe in the aftreworld Or the afterlife? Do you agree there's a place for us Beyond our life Where the timeless call for life Is lost and you will see The forgotten dreams That you once had become reality
They will be set free - nother day You cannot leave if you do not want to stay In the afterlife - in the afterlife
Life's a dream that you will forget In the endless space And the scars you got on planet Earth Will be erased You were blind until your eyes Have stopped to see And your powers unfold by the moment You hit eternity
You will be set free But you'll never return that's the price You have to pay In the afterlife - in the afterlife
[SOLO: Kai]
Now you're gone, without a word, You didn't say goodbye I miss you here, where are you now, An angel in the sky? Your visit here has been too short, You left to be set free But I believe we'll meet again And together we will stay
In the afterlife - in the afterlife In the afterlife - in the afterlife In the afterlife - in the afterlife There's no return in the afterlife
14. H. M. Mania
[Bonus Track]
Inside the power cage, I can feel the music of my age It`s paranoid first degree, It`s telling me that I`m not free
I`ve got Heavy Metal Music in my blood, And I`d like to get it to you if I could.
As I lie here in the fright of darkness, the wings of light remove the veil It`s Heavy, Heavy, Heavy, Heavy, Heavy Metal Mania all the way.
Rock and Roll was far too slow, and so the adrenaline just doesn`t flow Where is the power, where is the glory, Heavy Metal is my story.
We`ve got Heavy Metal Music in our blood, And we`d like to get it to you if we could.
15. As Time Goes By
[Pre-production Version]
[Bonus Track]
Do you believe in justice Or so-called co-existence? What's wrong with politicians? They give their best for you
The economic's growin' Some tiny holes above A little radiation Wake up this planet fades
You are not watching, you're part of the show You lost the first prize a long time ago.
WAR - somebody's always starts again HATE - we're getting closer to the end
As time goes by (We never seem to beat the ones Who say we can't be free) As time goes by.
Do you believe in money? Do you believe in guns? Do you trust the press, babe? You'd better judge yourself.
You are not watching, you're part of the show You lost the first prize a long time ago.
WAR - somebody's always starts again HATE - we're getting closer to the end
As time goes by (We never seem to beat the ones Who say we can't be free) As time goes by.
The missiles are launching, the tanks are rollin' The guns are blazing, the sky turns black!
WAR - somebody's always starts again HATE - we're getting closer to the end
As time goes by (We never seem to beat the ones Who say we can't be free) As time goes by.
As time goes by We never seem to beat the ones Who say we can't be free As time goes by We're getting closer to the end of our ability As time goes by Is there a place to run for shelter in a high tech war As time goes by Can you believe and trust in God To help you from above. As time goes by Is there a place to run for shelter in a high tech war As time goes by Can you believe and trust in God To help you from above.
16. The Silence
['95 Version]
When you're drowning, when you're freezin', when you're feeling cold There's a light in the darkness as the elder always told. When the winter's coming closer and the autumn's passing by, Then the world will sink in slience and I think we all should try. Oh, I wanna live my life in a fairy tale Where the end is always good and never sad. Show me the way to another world Where the sun is always shining in the and And we fight back the tears, and we lose our fears, Let the world remain in silence for a while Sun in our minds in a world full of ice, Let the silence remain for a little while.
Somebody came and slammed the door, took the feelin' away from our hearts. And the horror took hold of a place in our hearts filled with love.
What is left behind the ice, behind the make up and the lies Tell me what goes on inside our minds, There is a hole in our sky, getting bigger, growing wide No more answer, but we hold the line See and hear what we have done to us all, we wanna be free more than anything, Do you hear what I say to you? We will make it through, the sun shall shine.
Hear the words we say and see the light of day We never will be free until the sun is shining for us all
Carry on, carry on and make our dreams come true And for a little while we stay together Carry on, carry on, may all our lovin' stay And for a little while we stay together, forever Together, forever.

1. Tribute To The Past
[muzax: Hansen/Rubach] [lyrix: Hansen]
He had found a way to leave, to somewhere far from now Travelling in his time machine a dream that had come true Fly my friend, you will see, something called reality I feel good, I'm alright, doing what I please - I travel time
Far beyond the rising sun I ride the winds of fate Prepared to go where my heart belongs - back to past again
I just want to save the universe for all mankind He wants to save the future of the Earth Step by step surroundings change as years go passing by He only stops to gaze a little while I push the button further on, I just can't get enough I know I will return again but still I'm movin' on
Far beyond the rising sun...
As I'm movin' on I see things to come, I see tears and I hear laughter Curiosity, comin' over me, what is next and what will happen And I see the lies and I hear the cries and the marchin' of the people As they go to war, Heaven knows what for - God I think I've had enough now
Too late, too late - I can't go back no more! I lost control of the engine No light, no light - can't see where I have gone! Can't see where I have now gone to Where am I now - stranded in time
[Solo Kai]
So many years have passed since I had gone and I have seen what's gonna be But now I know it is useless to travel on And I will return to the time and place I belong to
Far beyond the rising sun....[repeat]
2. No Return
[muzax+lyrix: Hansen]
I'm riding the wind, don't need your request You'd never invite me but I will be your guest
Oh, no, no, don't be afraid of the Reaper It's time to go I call your name and you follow Fly with me
Take a look around and say you love me, And I will guide you through the Golden Door For everything you see there is a reason The big wheel is turning like always before
There is no return from the other side of Heaven For the big wheel turns and the circle must go on Forever more
How do you like the Termination day? - So far - Kiss me good bye, cause I must fade away
Oh, no, no, don't be afraid of your Master It's time to go he's calling your name now you follow Fly away
Take a look around...
There is no return...
[Solo Kai]
Welcome to eternal life, my friend Now take your seat on your cloud Enjoy your stay But always remember There is no return
There is no return...
There is no return...
No return, no return From the other side of Heaven
3. Last Before The Storm
[muzax+lyrix: Hansen]
Who's controlling all the misery and pain When the error signs are lighted in the Masterhall And from the start the action is in vain Cause the Beast is always careful to avoid the fall
We crawl up to the skies we'll never return again
We're the last before the storm Watching the sun going down on us We wish we had never been born To be the last before the storm
Who's ever gonna change the world I don't understand what we are fighting for The truth is sad, no lying, we are cursed I don't really know who ever made the Law
We cry out for more, we wonder what's next to the world We settle the score, we never look back
We're the last before the storm...
Cry out for the people who don't know the world They don't understand what they say and they're cursed Lying for reasons in search for the truth
Mephisto - we comin' down [repeat]
[Solo Dirk/Kai/Melody both]
We cry out for more...
We're the last before the storm...
4. The Cave Principle
[muzax+lyrix: Hansen]
I crawl across the floor never see the light Only shadows on the wall Somebody said there's reality behind But I'm afraid to turn and fall - oh no
Set me free - for eternity
And now they talk about my destiny again I hear their footsteps in the dark But then again there was the silence and the pain Uh, Lord that made me feel so lost
Help me - get out of here Save me - my world's an illusion
[Bass - solo/Kai/Dirk/Kai/Dirk]
I'm still inside the cave imprisoned in my mind And silhouettes on the wall I have to turn around to see what's goin' on Cause what I saw was never all
Just a move is the solution It's not enough to stand and stare Leave the cave and find a reason For the cross you have to bear
Never return to the principle
5. Future Madhouse
[muzax: Hansen] [lyrix: Hansen/Scheepers]
In the morning you try to recover But you still got the red in your eyes Then you get up and look in the mirror And you see the beast arise
Got a big red nose from the overdose And somebody else's eyes And you think to thee is it really me And you have to realiaze
The price that you pay for a moment like this Is never too high cause you're still doing it Don't you know that we all stand in line Our future dreams are just a waste of time
Our future - is a madhouse and we all are movin' in Our world - needs some action cause there's nothing left to gain
Take your baggy things are ready You only need to come Join this century's schizoid clan The rooms are primed and done
The price that you pay for a moment like this Is never too high cause it perfectly fits Don't you think that you are wasting time Insanity is just a state of mind
Our future - is a madhouse...
[Solo Kai/Dirk/Kai]
Our world - is a madhouse, in the gutter, come on in Our world - needs some action,
