TRIBUTE TO THE PAST
Music: Hansen, Rubach/Lyrics: Hansen He who found a way to leave to somewhere far from now Traveling 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 the 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 - I ride the winds of fate Prepared to go where my heart belongs - back to the past again As I movin' on I see things to come, I see fears and I hear laughter Curiosity, comin' over me, what is destined 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 gone to Where am I now - stranded in time 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 peace I belong to Far beyond the rising sun - I ride the winds of fate Prepared to go where my heart belongs - back to the past again Far beyond the rising sun - I ride the winds of fate Prepared to go where my heart belongs - back to the past again |

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 Bridge: Take a look around and say you love me And I will guide you through the golden door For everything you'll see there is a reason The big wheel is turning like always before Chorus: 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 your 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 it's calling your name now you follow Fly away Bridge Chorus 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 Chorus (x2) |

LAST BEFORE THE STORM
Music: Hansen/Lyrics: 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 vein 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 on 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 Watching the sun going down on us We wish we had never been born To be 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 Mephisto - we comin' down 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 Watching the sun going down on us We wish we had never been born To be the last before the storm |

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...! 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 Ooh, Lord, that made me feel so lost...! Help me?get out of here Save me?my world's an illusion 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.... |

In the morning your try to recover
But you still got the red in your eyes Then you get up and look at 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 realize The prize that you pay for a moment like this Is never for high 'cause you still doing it Don't you know that we all stand in line Our future dreams are just a waste of time Chorus: Our future -is a madhouse and we all are movin' in Cause the world - needs some action and there 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 that we are wasting time Insanity is just a state of mind Chorus Solo: Kai/ Dirk/ Kai Our world - is a madhouse, in the gutter, come on in Our world - needs some action satisfaction 'til the end Our world - we need sex and crime to supply our minds an amazing time, come on in Our future - and we party on 'til our life is done Just to waste our time - 'til the end |

The world's desperated with irony, hunger and corruption
The eastern world and the africans, too Are going to repeat the history of all wars And our industry supplied them with arms Everybody knows but nobody can do anything against it The fall of society is on the make Well sometimes, sometimes I try to draw up a list I try to find out what they have done I thought of honorable murderers you know Like Jonah's hand might wrap around us And anytime, everywhere in the world ... Chorus: Gamma Ray, Gamma Ray, Gamma, Gamma, Gamma Ray, Made of your existence Gamma Ray, Gamma Ray, Gamma, Gamma, Gamma Ray, Money and our failing I've waited for... to fire gamma ray! Without body I could fly around the world Destroying arms, destroying rockets Mix all complexions of the whole human race We all would turn to shallow people Everybody, everywhere in the whole world Chorus Without body I could fly around the world Destroying arms, destroying rockets Mix all complexions of the whole human race We all would turn to shallow people Chorus |

Sometimes I ask myself, "Is this the life I want to have?"
Are you still satisfied with the situation That you've had for many years now? Time is movin' on your childhood is gone But you don't realize that the game it isn't won Blind you think that you're safe at home But the fall is near if you carry on 18 years of freedom - where have they gone? Try to understand - you must search to take and give before you're old You must learn - you must learn to live your life, just on your own Break out the change is drawing near Decisions to stop, to turn and stare Solutions my thoughts are getting clear I'm leaving and I no longer care Spread my wings and fly among the clouds, I feel so free, I've left the world behind Now I know what I have missed I'll never give it back, my life's just begun One chance.... Throw it all away, I'm not ever gonna be the same again Throw it all away, I'm not ever gonna be the same again Throw it all away, I'm not ever gonna be the same again Throw it all away, I'm not ever gonna be the same again Throw it all away, I'm not satisfied at all Take it all away! Take it all away! Take it all away! Mother! Mother! Take it all away! Throw it all away, I'm not satisfied at all Throw it all away, I'm not ever gonna be the same again Throw it all away, I'm not ever gonna be the same again |

Music: Schlachter
Lyrics: Hansen/ Schlachter When I wake up at the end of the day Now comes out sun fades away I get myself out of my ned and cry Is it really me now - could this be the real thing Is there someone else to ease the pain So easy, so easy now, has it really gone too far It don't matter anyhow, something I feel like an Echo in the wind, that's not coming back again I look inside my head and what I see Are the reflections of the world. Am I see genius and insanity You're alive - you're part of the show You come to foresee the signs on the wall So many tried in vain - they know the truth Learn - how to live and fiht and learn- How to fight them right and learn - how to gone and take it all You can be strong if you know who you are The signs on the wall tell you move on before it's too late Can you read them could you be the one who's creeping on the floor The chaos is a killer and he knows who will fall Help me - I need some help Now is there someone out there What are you waiting for You're on the road to nowhere The only way I know Maybe I'm wrong, I haven't got a clue Don't know where I belong - tell me what is true Oh won't you come to heal me - hear me (repeat 4 times) Think don't think - what can you see Our life is just a fantasy of someone we will never see Therefore I break down in laughter How as I change my point of view There's nothing left to make me blue - never again - no more Come on in my friend and doin' the ball Everything is beautiful - even the band - it's magic Imagine you're superstar you gonna fly You gonna go far - so far Solo Dirk Oh won't you come to heal me - hear me (repeat 4 times) |

My life, not yours
Is that alright no fight I don't wanna quit it No way, is that okay No don't you dare, don't you dare to touch it with your fingers You sneak around, pull me down Gimme no, gimme no, gimme no more bullshit I know there's something goin' on You better leave my life alone You gotta take it a matter of fact. Now step aside Chorus: We are brothers in rock we won't let go We got our music and we got our soul And with the sisters of rock we can change the world If we try Cool down, now move around Someday, maybe you will understand it My way, okay feels so good, feels so good, feels so good To be with all my good friends Don't you realize you talk too much I got an easy way of life, don't touch You gotta face it as a matter of fact no step aside. Chorus (x2) In the concrete jungle we play rock'n'roll To set us free, to lose control In the concrete jungle we can break the walls That hold us down and keep us small. Don't you realize you talk too much I got an easy way of life, don't touch You gotta face it as a matter of fact no step aside. Chorus (x2) |

Racing' cross the heavens
Straight into the dawn Looking like a comet Slicing through the morn Scorching the horizon Blazing the land Now he's here amongst us The age of fire's at hand Stand by for Exciter Salvation is his task Stand by for Exciter Salvation bids to ask Everything he touches Fries into a crisp Let him get close to you So you're in his trip First you'll smoke and moulder Blister up and singe When ignition hits you The very soul of your being will cringe Stand by for Exciter Salvation is his task Stand by for Exciter Here he comes now Fall to you knees and repent if you please Who is this man? Where is he from? Exciter comes For everone You'll never see him But you will taste the fire upon your tongue He's come to make you snap out Of the state that you are in Looks around and make you See the light again So much self-indulgence Results in shattered eyes Predominant complacency Leads to beguiling lies Stand by for Exciter Salvation is his task Stand by for Exciter Salvation bids to ask When he leaps amidst us With combustive dance All shall bear the branding Of his thermal lance Cauterising masses melting into one Only when there's order Will his job be done Stand by for Exciter Salvation is his task Stand by for Exciter Here he comes now Fall to your knees and repent if you please Who is this man? Where is he from? Exciter comes For everone You'll never see him But you will taste the fire upon your tongue Racing' cross the heavens Straight into the dawn Looking like a comet Slicing through the morn Scorching the horizon Blazing the land Now he's here amongst us The age of fire's at hand Stand by for Exciter Stand by for Exciter Stand by for Exciter Stand by for Exciter |

Too late to call for the priest
He is not here anymore We look at the age of the beast And we've seen its vast armies form Hear our call Please, save us Please, save us In permanent madness we live No time for life and for love To take is the rule, not to give Insanity comes from below To take us all Please, save us Please, save us We believe that the phenomena of nature Are the expression of infinitive intelligence We express our belief that all forms of life Are manifestations of spirit And thus, all men are children of God Far from down below one comes prepared to take us all Waiting for his future and the final call We stand on the edge of the world Just one step more and we fall Guide us and please take our hands Without you we're weak and alone Hear our call Please, save us Please, save us Now! Save us - from the gods of thunder Save us - from the dogs of war Save us - from the creeping nightmares Save us - from the evil's course Save us - from our own ignorance Save us - from the man in black Save us - from the desolation Save us - from the hate attack Save us - oh please Save us - please save us Save us - oh please Save us - now! |
