I've seen it coming, it's got to be
No Illusions at the turning of the century All our wishes - forever free - All destroyed because somehow we lost the masterkey Leaving my dreams far behind Got no ambitions in time if only I'm so Black in mind. When there's no point in making it Black in mind. When there's no hope for love. I'm so Black in mind. When these madmen are wasting it Black in mind. I don't want to be sacrificed for a territorial war Leave me alone. I'm so black in mind You made me want it, too blind to see That all it gave me were illusions of reality My eyes got used to the things they've seen Now where's the difference between my life and the TV screen |

As I walk the streets I feel no pain
there is no love or hate, can't see no certain state I'm in And a fog has laid itself on my heart like this misty morning as this cloudy day begins Still I wonder should I be afraid about what's happening and how long has it been - don't know Why did come this shadow in my head like I have lost my soul like I'm alive but dead As I walk the streets I feel no fear although I notice that there is no feeling anymore and I try to send my mind back to the time when I was able to live something to the core Dark, dark as the grave, my heart is dead I'm just a slave to what they've said. (this decay) Still I'm alive but I feel dead Dark, dark as the grave, my heart is dead I'm just a slave to when you call. (my disease) Still I'm alive but I must be dead Alive but dead can't fill my head Darkness, there's darkness everywhere You gotta help me out of here I don't want to stay alive without the capability to feel! |

Spirits coming from the mind
Waking up my deepest horrors Capture my thoughts, make me blind Wired, 'cause I don't want to see The abyss of my possibilities Scared I can't look away It has come to my side Sister demon - my bride I want you, I need you and I have set you free You're always right behind me I know the devil's send you to me You want me, you need me, now that I've set you free Look always right behind you You know the devil's sent me to you What has started as a longing Almost is possession now It drives me again and again Put a light into your window Maybe I can find a hold I run against myself 'till find the end Sent by the devil |

Something's happened to myself, I could never give the answer
Though I did my best to find it out If you'd ask me where I've been the last few years I could not tell you Pieces of dreams mix with memories about Something's slipped into my body while my mind has been absent In a nameless time, somehow I know, I know, I know it well... Like a shadow out of time it's injected in my mind Like a shadow out of time Like a vision in disguise it took hold of all my ways Like a shadow out of time They have told me I've reacted like I was not from this earth I guess this something inside me was not When I've got these visions that I look down at myself I get scared This is not my body, but it's ... what I have slipped in someone's shape while his mind has been absent In my nameless time, somehow he knows, he knows, I know it well ... Somehow I have lost my memories when I returned from this journey You would not believe me anyway (Shadow out of time) For the rest of my life I will look for a release from this pain But I think I'll never see the day (Shadow out of time) |

This world's so materialistic
Our life just makes sense when we buy You're just a part of the statistics When there's a red line on your bank account, your cash runs out Half the population blinds their eyes They pretend a credit gives them wealthiness, consume contest Just like a spider's web Just like a spider's web You try to get out but it holds you tighter Just like a spider's web Just like a spider's web You try to get out but it holds you tight like All of this borrowed existences How can they sleep in the night They are afraid when the bell rings They're working half their lifes to pay it back, 'till heart attack Half the population blinds their eyes They pretend a credit gives them wealthiness, consume contest Just like a spider's web ... You try to get out but it gets you tight like death ... |

Awakening this curse was the least of all my fears If I could turn back time to free me from this crime It started back in time when something stole my mind And led me through aeons to place and time unknown I lived their life, lost in their time, without my face Take me back home from these cryptic walls I wait for a sign from my own reality I wait here in a nameless time A certain time passed by I returned to my life with memories hard to find A secret in my mind I found it out, I've learned about the place I've been Take me away to these cryptic walls I wait for a sign from this old reality It calls me from a nameless time Take me away to these cryptic walls To this desert place and this strange reality It calls me from a nameless time 2. The expedition I broke up to find this place, find those from the elder race In this unknown desert land I was digging in the sand Found these ruins, blocks of stone, older than the Egypt ones Climbed in caves, unspeakable, far down in the planets depths There were these enchanted books, pages that I've known too well Written by the aliens 'bout the way their study's been They transformed through space and time in all kinds of living minds learning this way everything how through times the culture's been And I imagined how it's been like travelling through a nameless time And I remembered how I felt when I was in a nameless time In a nameless time .... Take me home from these cryptic vaults I wait for a sign from my own reality I wait here in a nameless time 3. Finding out Although the most I knew I needed a final proof if I'd been one of them And then these pages came: My written words! So I'd been here in one of them... Take me back home from these cryptic vaults 'Cause I've been alive in this strange reality Release me from this nameless time Take me home from these cryptic vaults I'm cursed for all time in this strange reality Release me from this nameless time... |

Plans I have made to build it up from this state
Always moving, never stop, though the answers are made 'Bout the future, 'bout the past Where I come from, what will last Try to delay things that lead you astray But society sucks you out, leads to early decay If I will , if I won't, a decision that I could not flee I prayed it leave me be - the icecold hand of destiny Everything's right, it seems the future looks bright But there's always factor X that leads the tumbling dice If I will , if I won't, a decision that I could not flee I prayed it leave me be - the icecold hand of destiny Play for future, play for past Where you come from, what will last |

From the beginning you learned that we all have to die
You got so used to the fact that you don't wonder why You don't ask: How does it feel to someone when the moment has come When all is taken away, an existence is gone, who'll be his guide Take his soul and take his mind And his opened eyes stay blind Forever - you know there was someone inside The smile on these lips don't seem right Forever's a very long time Forever - these cheeks growing colder and grey A smile that is fading away Forever a very long time You know it happens a thousand times every day You can't imagine you might be the next, you don't want to care But lady luck is a bitch, won't stay at one place twice Wipes a curl from your eye and kisses you goodbye, bye, bye... Leaves you soul and leaves your mind And your broken eyes stay blind Forever - you know there was someone inside The smile on these lips don't seem right Forever's a very long time Forever - these cheeks growing colder and grey A smile that is fading away Forever a very long time So take good care of what you say It might be coming back one day So take good care of what you do This chance might be the last for you Forever - forever and ever, forever's a very long time |

I awoke, I could not stay for more
I tried to tell the others what I'd seen before No one believed me, "it's a dream" they said But I have seen eternity when I was dead Who decided who's to go and who's to stay on this old world This time now my path lead me to life There was a vision that lightened up my life And now I know it was death that I have tried Although I came back I've seen the other side So I will never forget until I die I remember seeing my body lying after the accident My soul was drifting away Passing darkness to a golden light Into the arms of Jesus with my fathers eyes He decided I'd to go and stay for longer in this world Until I have walked my path of life There was a vision that lightened up my life And now I know it was death that I have tried Although I came back I've seen the other side So I will never forget until I die There's a legion of the long - gone there A bundled energy of all that once were here No one's lost, a comfort we can share Like a kind of existence, timeless, everywhere Who decided who's to go and who's to stay on this old world This time now my path lead me to life |

I've been sitting, wondering, where am I to go
I spend time on too many things, turn my tides too slow I never felt so sick, that's all I know But when I hit my strings too loud Then I will let my demons out My rage - there's danger in my smile My rage - no, this is not my style In the suburbs of my mind lives a gang of four Joining me from time to time in my mental war I never felt so mean, that's all I know But when I hit my strings too loud Then I will let my demons out My rage - there's danger in my smile My rage - no, this is not my style Now I will let my demons out.... In my hour of darkness they will come again Fear, hate, frustration, desperation They are all so negative, but now I'll get them down I'll answer with my rage... |

Soldiers killing for their thrills Making war just for the sake of war There's no future left than death Leave me be - misery Weep with the children and starve with the prisoners Before you scream for revenge Sorrowful women with tears in their hollow eyes This is no justice, this is the price of war The price of war Some came running to the military Misled by a false ideal Believing guns could solve a problem Still blind to see they only kill Ripped off from the middle Ripped off from head to toes Ripped off - multikilling Ripped off - guts and bones Weep with the children and starve with the prisoners Before you scream for revenge Sorrowful women with tears in their hollow eyes This is no justice, this is no justice You'd watch the dying, lay hands on their bleeding wounds Before you scream for war, don't you scream for This is no justice, this is the price of war |

Think back to when you were younger
Remember when life had no scars You were at home in your own mind Responsive to your inner call I'm waiting, you'll come back I'm waiting for your return Don't waste your time any longer Start a new story, start a new glory Don't waste your time any longer Start a new story, start a new glory in life You're in a state of progression Shapeless fears break free someway Your life became an obsession When the machine stole your days Why do you lose your time in senseless rites That dry your will away Don't waste your time any longer, just start |

Now, as I had a look at you
It took a heartbeat and I knew That the candle of my life was burning shorter You turned me 'round to face myself To make me trust in what I am Now, after all that I have done it makes me wonder I'm around Now the night has gone, better days to come All this time I have been afraid, it is not too late... All this time while we talked my thoughts collided All this time I could have seen but I was blind All this time.... I thought I'd never see the day That in myself I'd feel this way We are the meaning and we know Forever different - the same Now the night has gone, better days to come All this time I have strained my mind, waiting for a sign Time is like a river that is running out to sea We can't touch the ground, so grab a blade of straw If you swim on waves of trust you cannot even drown When you hit the shores of love you cannot die... |
