Now the time is here again I'm calling you my friends from the ashes we must rise
and it's been for much too long now that everything went wrong like the eagle we must fly
ooh the seal is torn the seed is sown ooh, we are coming
And we rise like phoenix from the ashes let us go where no man's gone before and we don't need your tomorrow we're the kids of yesterday and our spirit will remain forevermore
We're rising again
What's the use of living in a world that changes fast I cannot see the good side of the progress beyond the icy glitter world our hearts are beating fast a storm released to hammer on the fortress
your time has come ooh, your world is done it's time to meet the maker ooh, we are coming
And we rise like phoenix from the ashes let us go where no man's gone before and we don't need your tomorrow we're the kids of yesterday and our brotherhood is here forevermore
We're rising again
....uuh, like phoenix from the ashes we will go where no man's gone before
Rise like phoenix from the ashes let us boldly go where no man's gone before we don't need your tomorrow we will do it our own way and the world belongs to us forevermore
We'll rise, we will go where no man's gone before to hell with your tomorrow we'll do it our own way and our spirit will remain forevermore
so keep your dreams of progress you cannot win at all the spirit will remain forevermore
Hey, this world's a dying planet Nothing matters, nothing's won I have come to seek revenge For all that you have done
Hate and fear, eternal sadness Nothing matters, no one cares I am here to stop the madness Free you from despair
Once I heard the white dove sing It was the sound of peace Beauty dies in agony Crushed under debris
She was so beautiful She was a dream And when I cry for her I hear them scream...
No respect, no heart for nature Led by greed they tear our soil Ripped, the sky, the damage major The air is at the boil
Here create another wasteland On and on 'til nothing's there Here it comes, the devastation Poisoning the air
Once I saw the eagle fly It was the sound of peace Beauty dies in agony Crushed under debris
She was so beautiful She was a dream And when I cry for her I hear them scream...
You were so beautiful You were a dream All we shall heed the call Shall be redeemed
She was so beautiful She was a dream And when I cry for her I hear them scream... Oh Mother Earth You were so beautiful Just like a dream All we shall heed the call Shall be redeemed Yeah!
My mind is darkened by a demon in my soul My life is empty and my heart is getting cold My hope is dying by things I used to see
So much confusion - I'm down on my knees To find a solution - I want to break free
Look through the eyes of time and finally you will see The broken dreams and all the pain and tragedy My mind is asking, will I ever find the key?
So much confusion - I'm down on my knees To find a solution - I want to break free
Here comes the rain again, falling on my head My mind is dark again, it's gonna make me mad Here comes the rain again, crawling like a snake It's like a thunderstorm, I can not escape Possession, possessed
And when the curtain falls they still don't realize Who cries for children, when there's no one left to cry? Who's proud of victories, when all the love has died?
So much confusion - I'm down on my knees To find a solution - I want to break free
Here comes the rain again, falling on my head It's like a thunderstorm, it's gonna make me mad Here comes the rain again, crawling like a snake Here comes the rain again, I can not, I can not escape
I try, but it's so hard to find Wiping the tears of my mind I cried for the pain deep inside Where is my blue sunny sky? ... and where the fuck is my Superman outfit???
So much confusion - I'm down on my knees To find a solution - I want to break free
Here comes the rain again, falling on my head My mind is dark again, it's gonna make me mad
Here comes the rain again, no more, no more It will not bring me down, no more, no more
So let me dry the tears and then I will arise Out in the sunlight see me fly See me fly
Come on down into the basement of my temple I show you things I cannot even tell The fallen dreams that were made of good intention Wherever people got their soul to sell
A Romeo is standing bleeding in the corner He cannot die, he cannot live alone The dagger in the hands of one desperate woman Oh Juliet, why couldn't you forgive
Oh no, here it comes again My mind is set for freedom now So let the ball begin Let the ball begin
Leaving Hell I'll build a new tomorrow Say farewell 'Cause you can't lock me in Time to go I'm leaving without sorrow Kiss my Ass goodbye 'Cause we will never meet again
And now my ship is leaving for the open water I set my course toward the island in the sun And if I die no one can say I haven't tried To keep my dream alive when I was on the run
And I say oh, here I go again My mind is set for freedom now So let the ball begin Let the ball begin
Leaving Hell I'll build a new tomorrow Say farewell 'Cause you cannot lock me in Time to go I'm leaving without sorrow Kiss my Ass goodbye 'Cause we will never meet again
I say oh, here I go again My mind is set for freedom now So let the ball begin Let the ball begin
Leaving Hell I'll build a new tomorrow Say farewell 'Cause you cannot lock me in Time to go I'm leaving without sorrow Kiss my Ass goodbye 'Cause we will never meet again No, never again! I'm leaving Hell
The sun is going down, the curtain's falling The heat is rising now, the master's calling Into the night I thunder, into the dead of night And I will head the calling and leave it all behind
The holy man has lost the grail, signs of love from yesterday The eyes of god have turned away, the dream became alive All my life I've waited for the yearning in my heart Right out there I see a star, the sun is going down
Kiss the princess, Empress of the dark Drink the poison, listen to your heart Feed the Princess, Empress of the dark All shall feel the fire
My heart is crying out, the fever rising No one can stop me now, it's mesmerizing I break the chains that bind me, the chaos in my life I leave the world behind me and live in my own mind
A holy land, another shore, no more pain and no more war She's calling me from far away, makes me feel alive Here I stand in front of her, losing my disguise No regrets, I'm standing there, waiting for the bite
Kiss the princess, Empress of the dark Drink the poison, listen to your heart Feed the Princess, Empress of the dark All shall feel the fire
Kiss the princess, Empress of the dark Feel the poison, flowing through your heart Kiss the Princess, Empress of the dark All shall feel her fiery Love
Another life, a different way, signs of life from yesterday The memory will fade away, the dream became alive Here I stand in front of you, tearing off the lies No regrets, I'm standing tall, I now am free to bite
Kiss the princess, Empress of the dark Drink the poison, listen to your heart Feed the Princess, Empress of the dark All shall feel the fire
Kiss the princess, Empress of the dark Drink the poison, listen to your heart Kiss the Princess, Empress of the dark All shall feel the fiery Love
Bodies lie around me, only shells left from the fight victims of the ones that turn the day into the night survivors stumble through the field,they're calling for the priest branded with a sign, the number of the beast it's Hell!
I can't escape the nightmare that's here before my eyes a prisoner of destiny, a victim of the night my thoughts, they move in circles, I'm heading for the fall they tell me hope dies last, but I got no hope at all
So talk to me, the world I see has reached the point of no return the tons of grief killed my belief my heaven's on fire and it burns
When the world's on my shoulders and the pain comes again then I wish I could be there in my dreamland again There I'm free from the madness without chains and no wall When the world's on my shoulders I will pray for you all
Is someone there to save us from the voices in the dark the words fly out like bullets, they leave a deadly mark the mindless kill their agony with prices from the show they're heading for tomorrow, but they don't know where to go
So talk to me, the world I see has reached the point of no return the tons of grief killed my belief my heaven's on fire and it burns
When the world's on my shoulders and the pain comes again then I wish I could be there in my dreamland again There I'm free from the dark and I'm safe from the wall When the world's on my shoulders I will pray for you all
So if you talk to me now about our belief and all the meaning somehow is to make people free All our lives we fear, to be what we hate breaking this curse with a fire that burns all the darkness away
Save me, Hold me, Help me Free me, Love me, Heal me
When the world's on my shoulders and the pain comes again then I wish I could be there in my dreamland again There I'm free from the dark and I'm safe from the wall When the world's on my shoulders I will pray for you all
Opportunity came to my door when I thought I might need a ride but I said I'm doing alright turn around and start to see
Yeah, life is boring- Monday,Tuesday The machines are roaring-Wednesday,Thursday Friday, and the rain keeps falling just like everyday
Time is running-Saturday, Sunday when there's gonna be some holiday for you? and time flies, time flies, time flies, time flies
I could be a rich man and I could be a superstar yeah, what's the aim and what's the plan please just leave again
Set me free, yeah I wanna live it up and let me be all that I wanna be cause the whole world in my hands is down and nothing will last oh bring back the harmony
Sweating, nightmares - no way to escape no, I can't sleep I'm going down in a sea of madness Raging anger- Hell or paradise deep in my dreams no escape for you, no escape for me
Time flies-gotta think it over Time flies-better think again Time flies-living in the real world Time flies-or living on the edge
I should be a wise man, don't need to be a superstar
Set me free, yeah I wanna live it up and let me be all that I wanna be cause the whole world is in my hands now but nothing will last oh bring back the harmony
What will you do in the dark the hand of your fate left it's mark so don't try to argue with me now
Your Hell ain't a bad place to be take a look at your life now and see 'cause maybe I will not come back
You stand on the edge of the world your life will be torn into pieces The hammer is falling the world is not waiting for you hey you think that you know what is real travelling around for no reason you better watch out and jump off of my cloud for your own sake
Set me free, yeah I wanna live it up and let me be what I wanna be
Set me free, mmh I wanna live it up and let me be all I wanna be cause the whole world is in my hands now and I want it to last oh
Set me free, yeah and let me be what I wanna be the whole world is in my hands now and I want it to last
Here I sit again And think about the world we know The same old thing: Where do we come from and where do we go?
Sometimes I worry just too much Sometimes I just don't care And if you're with me on this point, Put your hands high in the air Let me hear you say, "Yeah!"
Sometimes I'm happy as can be And sometimes feel so low And what is good and what is bad, I sometimes just don't know
The world is the most crazy place That we could have been It seems the meaning of our life Is going down in sin
So let me live and let me be Your eyes are blind But I can see
God is an illusion and there ain't no paradise And there is no underworld below Out there is no heaven and there ain't no Antichrist Welcome to the real world and the show!
So let me take you down, my dear, To places you don't know A land that you have not been to And normally don't go
I have all your pleasure toys: The fortune and the fame So when you come with me, my friend You'll never be the same
So, just say, "Yeah," and come with me Don't be so blind; it's time to see
God is an illusion and there ain't no paradise And there is no underworld below Out there is no heaven and there ain't no Antichrist Welcome to the real world and the show!
Don't be afraid now of the faces in the night And let your body take control We're going down into the beam of the neon lights And I will purify your soul
Standing on a razor's edge Lost in space and time All around, the silence falls Prepared to draw the line
A shot, a cry, a flash of light A bullet hits the wall Not yet prepared, the fight for life Is not yet lost at all!
So, come with me and let me be The one to lead you home Like diamonds, we'll be shining bright Before we turn to stone
God is an illusion and there ain't no paradise And there is no underworld below Out there is no heaven and there ain't no Antichrist Welcome to the real world and the show!
I look out to the stormy sea I wish upon a star Pulsating light to comfort me But, oh, it seems so far
So, as I stand, I realize I wish that I'll be there About to give up all my life And vanish in thin air
But I know, as I dream All the world has passed me by And I know I should do better For you and me tonight
I'm coming home, yeah...!
There were stars in the eyes at the masquerade And the King was lost in the grand illusion Well, the day has come, they've lost the way And the Joker laughs at the mass confusion They stand and stare
Now, listen, all you people This is what I say: Raise my voice in anger I'm trying to get away ...From all
Now, listen, what you're doing Is just not good at all The silly games you're playing Are raising up the wall
Time goes by The world we love Is gone...forever
Are we ever gonna change our way? Will we ever stop the fury? Is it life, or will we just decay? Will we lose or stand in glory?
Insurrection ? God election Heavy changes make my day Storm the spire, hearts on fire Storm is coming on its way
Insurrection
Masses will be rising, marching forces neutralizing All the powers in the world with raging fury Enemies are falling down; their blood is spilled on holy ground The end is near for maximizing profits
Why...do we have to fight, why...? Close your eyes...and die
Are we ever gonna change our way? Will we ever stop the fury? Is it life, or will we just decay? Will we lose or stand in glory?
Insurrection ? God election Heavy changes, disobey Storm the spire, hearts on fire Storm is coming on its way
Insurrection
The king of damnation learned from the old The harvest of fury Love is the answer, blood is the oath Red are the canyons
Friend or foe, we have been trying Queens and kings, all have been lying All the same, all devastating All I see when contemplating hope
Here I stand alone and I have lost the way The eyes of a believer turning to stone Silent, no more tears; the emptiness is mine Only rain is falling, dripping on the trail Father of the Earth, I am calling you Dry your tears away and give me hope Fill my heart with strength And give power to my soul Let magic fill the sky and take me home Singing.... Ooh... Let me go!
Are we ever gonna change our way? Will we ever stop the fury? Is it life, or will we just decay? We must fight to stand in glory!
Insurrection ? God election Heavy changes, disobey Storm the spire, hearts on fire Storm is coming on its way....
I look out to the stormy sea I wish upon a star....
