Gamma Ray

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 the window in the darkness
(parted in 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
Too late to cry
The final conclusion is roaring inside
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

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 survival

Up to the stars, we have come from the night
Too late to cry
The final conclusion is roaring inside
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
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
Out in the heavens we're ready to fight
Too proud to die
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 wil long for liberty
Fallen heroes calling me,
anywhere in the galaxy
Anywhere in the galaxy
Anywhere in the galaxy

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,
as 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

Out of the dark
He came without a warning
The guarding light
I didn't see ...
On a storytellers 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 lifes 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 disappeard
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

* Repeat

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

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
Rising 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 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 our star will rise again
(x3)

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,
everything 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 desease
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 of 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 ...

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's 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 life is gone
count the cost,
then from the darkness wiped away
into the underworld we fade
where darkness awaits

Time will wait for noone
Time is short as hell, hell, hell
Time ...

As 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 when or where or who
has one thing in common too

it's a it's a it's a it's a sin

it's a sin

My father taught me how to be
So pure of thought.. and word and deed
he didn't quite succeed

for everything I long to do
no matter when or where or who
has one thing in common too

it's a it's a it's a it's a sin

everything I've ever done
everything I'll ever do
everyplace 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
cuz I didn't care and I still don't
understand

Now as 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 when or where or who
has 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

it's a sin

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

In our sky there is no limits
And masters we have none
Heavy Metal is the only one

Cause it's a Heavy Metal universe
With a Heavy Metal sound
Masters of the thunder
Shake you to the ground

It's a Heavy Metal bomber
And it's never going down
Flying cross the universe
We're Heavy Metal bound
We're Heavy Metal bound

With a burning hot desire
Like a supersonic blast
We have come to show the world
That we have come to last

There ain't no way to stop us
And you'll never kill our pride
Cause it's not only music
It's a chosen way of life

And our world has got no borders
And in union we all stand
Cause Heavy Metal is our promised land

Cause it's a Heavy Metal universe
With a Heavy Metal sound
Masters of the thunder
Shake you to the ground

It's a Heavy Metal bomber
And it's never going down
Flying cross the universe
We're Heavy Metal bound
We're Heavy Metal bound

See my hands held to the sky
Let me rock you 'til forever
Raise your voice we're soaring high
Swear allegiance now or never

Burning up we build a flame
As we speak the oath together
Metal is our way forever...
...way forevermore

Our world has got no borders
And in union we all stand
Heavy Metal is our promised land

It's a Heavy Metal universe
With a Heavy Metal sound
Masters of the thunder
Shake you to the ground

It's a Heavy Metal bomber
And it's never going down
Flying cross the universe
We're Heavy Metal bound
We're Heavy Metal bound

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

Once 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 rainbows end
Lives meant to share,
where's the sign that we'd sent?

On 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 it's 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 rainbows end
Lives meant to share,
where's the sign that we'd sent?
On 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'll search the rainbows end
Lives meant to share,
where's the sign that we'd sent?

On 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 your own hands
Let us try to fly again
One day we'll rise again
On wings of hope to be free ...

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 they are back on the earth
Taking their wrath to our land
An ocean full of darkness awaits
We will resist, fight until the end

And down below the dark lord waits
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
forever more
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, and still we ride
Now we're awaiting
the hand of fate tonight

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 brothers,
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 judgement will come

Won't you help me now

Now tell me mother earth
oh, what 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 judgement will come

Won't you help me now

All gods creation is finally dead and gone
Our revelation, the day of 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 cursed
Keepers of the darkness in this world
We will not surrnder 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 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 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 judgement has come
Won't you help me now

Epilogue:
Now all you 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

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 beautiful
Once she was mine...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

Racing' cross the heavens
Straight into the dawn
Looking like a comet
Slicing through the morn
Scorching the horizon
Blazing to 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 smoulder
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 your knees and repent if you please

Who is this man?
Where is he from?
Exciter comes
For everyone.
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 everyone
You'll never see him
But you will taste the fire upon your tongue

Racing past the heavens
Straight into the dawn
Looking like a comet
Slicing through the morn
Scorching the horizon
Blazing to 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

Voices are calling from somewhere bellow
melting on the eastern shore
Rain is falling down on me,
been waiting for eternity...
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 riding high across the wind
and when the storm begins, to wash away all sins
we find a place where we begin

There something wrong with the world today,
only the people that are fighting for...
...a better place in the world today,
they don believe that they gone too far,
...they falling down.

By moonlight there a way... for rebellion
here, the world has gone astray... revolution
Now, the time has come to pray... hallelujah
deep, inside our minds we wait... for rebellion
Here in dreamland we will not obey the masters

... and the earth still turns but I on my way,
he is on the way, as my heart still yearns
... I on my way, now he is on the way,
and I cry for more
Yes I on my way, now he is 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 searching for a way to find
the open door leading me to where it all begins

There nothing wrong with the world today...

By moonlight there a way... for rebellion
here, the world has gone astray... revolution
Now, the time has come to pray... hallelujah
deep, inside our minds we wait... for rebellion
Here in dreamland we will not obey the masters

SOLO: Kai

Now riding through the air
going to where no one dares
on the way cross the line forevermore.
For once in life, I do not care
nothing matters, now I dare
On the ride cross the line
forever to be free

Have no fear, Rebellion is here!

Music / Lyrics: Hansen

I'm a man on a mission
And my deligence won't wait
There are supersonic killers in the sky
Everything you do will be analyzed,
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 is a masquerade
And the termination waits

Oh, I've seen the faces of a million leaving here
Abandoned times and places of a world
Built out of fear
The quest is drawing near
The mystery of fear is just about to clear

What we need right now, is a miracle on earth
Let out hearts cry out, so our voices can be heard
Let us walk away together
>From the neverending rain,
'Til the sun will shine for all of us again

So we travel on at the 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 joyful saints will guide us
On the onward fight that we take

Oh, I've seen a million
Leaving right away from here
Abondoned times and places of a world
Built out of fear
The quest is drawing neart
The mystery of hear is just about to clear

Chorus

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 it's you and me,
So try to understand
And wee 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 the 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, before you kill us all
Before you kill us

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

One time in life is all I need, to satisfy my senses
Delusions of reality are tearing your defenses

I never tried 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 on 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 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

(Solo Hansen / Schlachter & Hansen / Hansen)

I never thought I catch the rainbow
But in the end it's all a dream
I see a face in my 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

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 moon starts to run
How can I see beyond existance?
I'm leaving in to 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 hell
We wait for 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 alone
On this side of the wall
As we struggle for life in this emotional hell
We wait for salvation to call
Chorus / Solo: Dirk / Both / Dirk
Morning comes around again
Shoadows are leaving the night
Now there's a sense for existance
I've seen it with my own two eyes
The vision is getting clearer
Now that I've seen the unknown
The voices are yearning to live again
The gods will guiding us home
And you still dare to dwell all alone
In the back of you 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 leaving today...'
Don't you be misled
By the illusions in your head
Then the gods of deliverance will say:
'No more illusions, we're leaving today...
We're in your head' - They're in my head
'We're in your head' - In my head...

Farewell
by Gamma Ray



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 farewell my friends
My fate is calling loud
Now I know - it can get tough
And I don't you 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 leaving 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 and 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 searched 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 firends, I'm leaving you today
The quest is hard,
I hope I'll find a way home one day

Good my friends, I'm leaving you today
The quest is hard
I know I find 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

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 fairytale
Narrated by a lunatic for man
The hope 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 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
Realize not criticize
Remove yourself away from here
Remove yourself away from here

Salvation's calling - salvation's calling
The walls are falling - salvation's calling now!

Follow you instinct
Never follow your illusions
Just remember from all your troubles
There is a way out
Turn around and see yourself
Beyond your horizons
There's an outcry in the void
There is a way out from here

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 hesitate 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!

Music / Lyics: Hansen

Somewhere in the 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 al around us
Not a single beam of light
All we have is our faith
Waiting for the fight
The time has come to break the outer wall

Grab your heart I'll show you the way
Hold you 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 cirlce
Tell me what you feel and see
Delusions of reality
The mirror of your dreams

Hold you ground
And I'll show you the way
Now hold your head up high

Chorus / Solo: Kai / Dirk / Kai / Dirk

And when the cracks appear upon the wall
We know the moments 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 / Chorus

Music / Lyrics: Hansen

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 only 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 from fight
The brave man, redeemer
He brought us back to life
Oh yes 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

His armour, still shining
Though it's torn from fight
The brave man, he battled
On through the night
His eyes they were gleaming 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
Bridge / Chorus

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!

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.

Music: Rubach / Lyrics: Hansen

Do you believe in the afterworld
Or the afterlife?
Do you agree there's a place for us
Beyond our life
Where the timless call for life
Is lost and you will see
The forgotten dreams
That you once had become reality

They will be set free - another 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 so 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
(Dedicated to Ingo Schwichtenberg)

Comin' out of misery, back to the old energy, takin' part in our daily show.
Think of what has been before, made a move and slammed the door.
Future will remain in the unknown.

Face the face of the race, try to understand.
Why are we here and what do we want,
The answer is easy, let's spread it around.
Loud and proud, we're gonna say it now,

Live-Life-Easy
Live-Life-Easy
Live-Life-Easy

Many things to think about, bring me up or bring me down
A lot of things I hardly understand.
What is good and what is fair, problems solved, but I don't care
Sometimes it's just getting out of hand.
Face the face of the race, try to understand.
I know that you know that we can be strong
If we pull together, we can get along
Loud and proud, we're gonna say it now,
Live-Life-Easy
Live-Life-Easy
Live-Life-Easy
Let us fly away, let us praise the days
When the lust for the life is stronger than the fear.
Though we shiver and shake and we sometimes need a break.
It's the lust for life that never disappears.
Loud and proud, we're gonna say it now,
Live-Life-Easy

Too many people,
too much rouble,
Too many problems in the morn.
Another sunrise in the rubble,
another ship sunk by the storm.
Some little angel tries to
tell me that it's over,
It's just a bad reflection
from above.
The load upon my shoulder
makes me stronger, even bolder,
Oh no no, I haven't had enough.

후렴
Heaven can wait 'til another day,
Cause there ain't
no reason to leave.
The world is a stage
where we all can play,
Another fine reason to live,
and heaven can wait,
heaven can wait.

Each day a new reason to give up,
each day another reason to sigh.
A hundred thousand ways
to live up,
a hundred thousand ways to try.
Hey, little angel,
don't you tell me that it's over,
You're just a bad reflection
from above.
The load upon my shoulder
gives me reasons to get older,
Tell the boss I haven't had enough.

후렴

let it wait.

(기타 솔로)

Our eyes are closed
but they should be open wide,
Let's listen to the voice
that's calling from inside,
Let's stay alive and move on,
on our way.
And heaven can wait,
heaven can wait.
Heaven - can wait
'Til another day.

You know who I am, show you a land
Where you can be free, can get your relief.
Space is all yours, desires come true.
Love of your life waitin' for you.

I got no time for wasting all my day,
Come on and follow, follow me away.
Spaceeater - you're losing control
Spaceeater - and I own your soul

I'll make you happy ain't no lie,
Come eat my space, you're gonna fly.
Let me control your senses,
And lose your mind, your worries inside.

A little bit, a little bit,
You're drowning in a lustry whirl,
be superman or wondergirl.
Oh, we fly away on supersonic dreams,
we ride on universal starshine,
Through space.
I got no time to stand and waste my day.
Come on and follow, follow me away,
Spaceeater

Music/ Lyrics: Hansen

I don't need no money, I will stuck to my ideals.
You better get some money, you better get yourself a deal.
I won't change my habits and throw it all away.
No, no, you better keep it all together for another day.

Money - uh, yeah
It only makes me sick and makes the people turn to fools.
It only gives you power and power makes the rules.
Don't wanna be an asshole that sits on dollar bills.
Ha, ha, ha, I know you'll take it no matter how you feel.

Money - uh, yeah.
Nothing will get for free, illusion or reality,
The mirror of your dreams is made of cash.
It drives me wild and drives me crazy,
Makes me fat, and makes me lazy.

Anything you want, anything you need
Anything you want, anything you need
If I had a little money I would feel okay.

It is money that rules the world, it is money that lights the day.
It is money that makes it work, it is money that makes you live!

Money, money, money, money
Give me money -everybody wants some.
Everybody needs some.
I want more, you want more, we want more, they want more.
Nothing you will get for free, illusion or reality.

Anything you want, anything you need,
Anything you want, anything you need,
You can have a little more bu still won't feel okay
It is money that rules the world, it is money that lights the day.
It is money that money that makes it work,
It is money that makes you live!
Hey, hey --- Money - yeah, Money - yeah, Money -yeah, Money

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 rassing by
then the world will sink in silence
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 end.


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 all uh, yeah


see and hear what we have done to us all,
we wanna be free more than antthing,
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.

HOLD YOUR GROUND
Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen

Come to plague me, rape and take me
Freeze me up, freeze me up.
Politician, inquisition freeze 'em up,
Freeze 'em up, freeze 'em up.

They're closing in, the iron round,
They hold the snare in hand,
To strangulate your way to live,
The norm always wins in the end.

Hold your ground, or tomorrow it will be taken.
Hold your ground, or tomorrow it will be taken.
Tomorrow it will be taken.

Law and order wall and border,
Freeze me up, freeze me up.
Automatic, democratics, freeze 'em up.
Freeze 'em up, freeze 'em up.

No parole on your housewall,
So nice and clean - our land.
And though they crash the hammer down
Resistance lives on in the end,

Hold your ground, or tomorrow it will be taken.
Hold your ground, or tomorrow it will be taken.
Tomorrow it will be taken.

They sneak around, they spy your mind,
Your unborn child's a number on their way
Into the grey.
Insanity, they steal your dreams,
They promise everything but they betray
Day after day.

Hold your ground, or tomorrow it will be taken.
Hold your ground, or tomorrow it will be taken.
Tomorrow it will be taken.

Music: Scheepers/Lyrics: Scheepers

The weekend comes, I'm gonna see my baby.
I close the door and leave everything behind
I hit the road, the sun is shining down so brightly.
Five more miles and I'm lying in her arms.

Now her motions turn me on, and I'm gonna sing my song.

Free time in one of the things that I love,
Free time is one of the things enjoy.

The sin goes down, we're gonna see a movie.
How happy life could be without any work.

[Heading For Tomorrow]

Time has passed in the modern world,where the madmen live and speak their world.

Life in hand they deal with god,put a trademark sign up on everyone.



God bless the childrean, freedom is their word,freedom, freedom, till they learn to obey.

Don't fear the liars, reason is their name,reason, reason, play a silly game.

Where will the children go tomorrow ?



Is anybody here to claim that he understands our human game ?

We can make a prophecy,oh we can't say what is going to be.



Where are we going and what is our aim ?

Freedom, freedom, locked inside our brains.

So many answers, reason is their name,reason, reason, the question will remain.

Where will the children go tomorrow ?



(Solo)



Hey you, where do you go ?

Heading for tomorrow.

Hey you, where do you go ?

Heading for my life.

Hey you, where do you go ?

Heading for tomorrow.

Hey you, where do you go ?



When we are born, tell me what is our aim ?

And what will be when society fails ?

We are heading for tomorrow, we don't know if we are near.



(Solo)



When we are gone, tell me what will remain ?

And what will be when society fails ?We are heading for tomorrow but we don't know if we are near.

I see you runnung, don't know what you're running from.
Nobody's comin', what'd you do that was so wrog.

Look back and turn back, look at yourself.
Don't be afraid just look at your self.

If you need assistance, or if all you need is love.
There's no point in hidin', tell me what
You're frightened of.

You got a friend, just look at yourself.
Don't be afraid, just look at your self.

Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen

I see your picture, laughter from yesterday
Silence all around me, except the voice from the TV
And I still can't believe it's over
But time will heal all wounds I know

We sail on to dreamland, we'll meet there one day
We share our feelings, we'll be okay

Staring out the windows, dreaming of the past
The good times and the bad times, they are here to last
And I hope it's getting better
Cause time will heal all wounds, I know

We sail on to dreamland, we'll meet there one day
We share our feelings, we'll be okay
One day

Headache in the morning from wasted nights before
Welcome to the real world, knocking at the door
And I believe it's getting better
And there's one thing that I do know

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)

The world's desperated with irony, hunger and corruption

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!

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

Dethrone Tyranny (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

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 .....

I scan the dead horizon
illuminated curse
In squished imagination
catastrophes 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...
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

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

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

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?foretold 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's 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

Damn the Machine
Damn....

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
The 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 conversations, 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 - erasing the alien planet

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

Fire... fire... fire...

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... the fire below... fire below...

They take you to Hell
Into the fire
They take you to Hell
Into the fire
They're taking you down, down, down,
into the fire
They're taking you down,
into the fire
The fire below

[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?...

I was lost - had no reason
I was blind - saw no treason
I was devastated, I couldn't take no more
Man infuriated, raging thunderstorm

Where's it now, the golden future?
Where's it gone, 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 catastrophe
Here I am ascending, from this misery

Where's it gone, your golden future?
Where's it now, 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 I 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... away...

Away...

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
Before... 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

I need a new direction
Another thought to serve me right
My mind has got an infection
And there's nothing that seems to help
I need to grow an island somewhere inside my head
Where nothing can disturb me,
Where I am free, where I'm forever set
Maybe it's not important
If we are dead or alive.
I never ever wanna listen to the sirens
I'm alive, still alive.
Who says: "We are not guilty"
I say: "We never know the way it goes"
Chorus:
Changes - all around me, all inside my head
Changes - changing face, still remaining mad.
Changes -an all day routine.
Hard to enjoy the good times,
Decay is what I feel
God, it's makin' me porous, vanish in haze,
I wonder, wonder if I'm real.
Newflash - under the new regulations
Non-conformity will be punished by law.
Relax - and don't forget to unplug your TV set!
Sigh no more!
For you, you are not guilty,
No, no, you're not responsible at all.
Chorus
Changes - all around me, all inside my head
Changes - changing face, still remaining mad.
Changes - changing systems, still insane.
Changes - but the madness will remain.
Who is the man who says I'm never gonna die?
It's a lie, it's a lie!
And who is the man who says, I never have to sigh?
It's a lie, it's a lie!
Oppression, resistance
We will never change our way,
The island in my mind is growin'
More and more, day after day.
Changes - all around me now, all inside me now
Changes - wanna cry no more, sigh no more.

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
Bridge:
You are not watching, you're part of the show
You lost the first prize a long time ago.
Prechorus:
WAR - somebody's always starts again
HATE - we're getting closer to the end
Chorus:
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.
Bridge - prechorus - chorus
The missiles are launching, the tanks are rollin'
The guns are blazing, the sky turns black!
Prechorus
Chorus:
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.

Music: Schlachter,
Lyrics: Scheepers, Schlachter

Did you ever want to worry
Did you ever wanna have a doubt?
You wanted the best for me,
Somehow things went wrong.
And i tore us apart.
Did you ever think it was easy,
Thought my time was running out
Tried it how I wanted tto
Though you did not agree
But I was calling you - calling (repeat)

Chorus:
Father, you can't hide, it's time to lose the pride - some day.
Take a look and see, I'm blue as I can be.

In former days you made your own way,
You found on easy way of life.
But I'll be never satisfied to work from nine till five.
I'm heading for more-
I remember what you've said
But I know I won't regret
When I try to break the rules
I'm searching for my way, my own way

Chorus:
Father, you can't hide your feelings deep inside - oh no
There's a better way for you and me today.

I can't stand it anymore - it's only you and me,
We have to talk and see.
How things are gonna be, but all I want is peace
Father, Father, Father -

Chorus:
Father, now it's time, we ain't losin' our minds any more
It seems so long ago, fate will bring us hope!

ONE WITH THE WORLD
Music: Hansen, Wessel/Lyrics: Hansen

Do you think there's a chance
For this world to live in unity as one?
I can try to believe
But I feel it's like a view into the sun.

Blinded by the light everything will look so fine
But still I feel the rays are burning my soul.

So you say you believe
We can change the world together if we try.
I know we won't change.
When it comes to the point
Do you think we reach an aim that is too high?
I know we don't arrange.

But I know we're all the same
When the final curtain falls
And the Sighs on the way
Are leading us home

When I'm one with the world
I am one with my mind
Forget all the fury there's no need to cry
There's a place we all go, salvation to find
There's freedom to come
When I'm one with the world and my mind.

Do you feel, do you know?
There's an answer to the question when you're gone.
You're not alone.
You will see, we will see
Is there nothing or a better place to go?
We can't go wrong.

There are echoes in the wind
And they say don't be afraid
'cos the Sighs on the way
Are leading us home

When I'm one with the world
I am one with my mind
Forget all the fury there's no need to cry
There's a place we all go, salvation to find
There's freedom to come
When I'm one with the world and my mind.

One with the world
One with the world
One with the world
I am one!
One with the world
One with my mind
One with my heart

Mankind has found every treasure on earth
It stands to the reason that we have got all we want.
Comfort is now a condition of life,
Without any sources our dream will fade away.

To live a better day was our final aim
Did we ever try?

Start running!

The moment of reason will someday appear,
But then it's too late to return or to stay,
No single person can change the truth,
We have to move forward and do it side by side.

To live a better day is our final aim
And we won't stop trying

Start running - can't you see the hangmen are coming?
Start running - can't you see the hangmen are coming?

The things we have done to destroy our world are enough.
How long will this madness remain?

We're children of the warriors, we learn from our faults,
Hope is our guiding hand, conscience is our force.

Start running - can't you see the hangmen are coming?
Start running - can't you see the hangmen are coming?
Start running - can't you see the hangmen are coming?
Start running - can't you see the hangmen are coming?

(Music & lyrics: Hansen)

The businessmen got a job to do
The Eastenworld is waiting too.

They're sittin' on a bloodstone calling you a beggar,
Waitin' for another deal in open cars.
The presence of the men gives a bad vibration,
They're countin' dollar bills, and they're workin' on
The final countdown
Countdown

I'm sitting all around and I'm waitin' for the lyrics
they gotta be cool, botta satisfy the critics.
"Sign of warning all across the edges"
maybe too pathetic ... and my pencil scratches,

Meanwhile X is comin' from Miami
Another perfect deal was made in open cars.
I don't care 'cos I'm much too busy,
I have to write my lyrics
And I'm waiting for the final countdown,
Countdown.

Chorus:
It's jut a matter of time
We're only waitin' for the end of the world
And we got nothing to lose
We're only servants of the monsters we curse.
It's just a matter of time
We can be sure we'll be doin' our worst.
And we're waiting for the countdown.

We're sittin' all around and we drink our lage,
Thanks to God we got no embargo.
What is left to do when you're looking for pleasure,
Somehow we gottta lose the pressure.

We're sittin' on a blood stone, worker, boss and beggar.
I don't give a damn
I want my open car.
God has tourned to money, Jesus is a Liqueur
I'd rather get my record done and party for the final,
COUNTDOWN, COUNTDOWN.

Chorus.

Lyrics: Hansen, Scheepers.

Who will creep inside your mind a night,
Who makes your wildest dream arise?
Who makes you see what you can't see,
While you're awake but in your dreams?

Out of a world we call the twilight zone he comes,
Out of a world where all your reason is a lie.

Chorus:
DREAM HEALER - he makes you see what you can't see
DREAM HEALER - reflecting your identity.

Shout at the morning when the red sunrise awakes,
The call of reality is all you hear.
Gaze at the stars, when the night comes down again
Then you begin to see through all of your fears.

Out of a world where you can see what is inside
Out of a world where all your reason is a lie.

Chorus

I see red and I see blue, I see green and I see yellow - yellow lights.
One day black another day white. He's one day quiet
Another day he calls my mama
He's comin' out - he's comin' out

Listen to dreams - they always tell you the truth.
Listen to dreams - it is your heart that's speakin' to you
Listen - listen to the dream healer.

We follow our own instincts, we're livin' in between,
The struggle of the races continues on the scene.
A million miles above us the spirit is unseen,
Beyond our small horizon it's got a perfect dream.

We travel through the ages, we follow our dreams
But the spirit of a free world is the final dream.

The sun, the wind, and water are all we really need,
We waste our time on fighting to satisfy our greed.

We travel through the ages, the world remains obscene
But the spirit of a free world is the final dream.
The spirit of a free world is the final dream.

We're about to lose control now, the prophecy is clear,
Does it help to sigh and hope with sentimental fear?
S.O.S. no more lifeboats here.

If I could ask the maker about the master plan
Could he give an answer, would I understand?

Our ignorance will drive us on, the world remains obscene
But the spirit of a free world is the final dream.

We can win, we can lose
We can swallow the bad news
In the end, we all know
Our life is just a show
Everybody plays a game, and in our hearts
There's hidden our real face

Who is the man who says, "I'm never gonna cry"?
It's a lie?it's a lie
And who is the girl who says, "I'm never gonna sigh"?
It's a lie?it's a lie

On the road to nowhere, in the falling rain
I've come to makin' my mind up, to get to the point
And here I go again...

Who is the man who says, "I'm never gonna cry" ?
It's a lie?it's a lie
No, I'm not the man who says, "I'm never gonna die"
But I'm alive, still alive?alive....

We are not guilty
We never know the way it goes
Just like heroes?heroes?heroes
An all-day routine....

We can be deadly wounded, but we can stand the pain
We might lose the battle, but for our ideals
We stand right up and start to fight again....

We all know our enemies
But only God knows
Who will fall
Lean back and lick your wounds
Fight them all for you

You are not guilty
You never know the way it goes
Just like heroes

Who is the man who says, "I'm never gonna cry"?
It's a lie?it's a lie
No, I'm not the man who says, "I'm never gonna die"
But I'm alive, still alive....

Heroes?heroes?heroes
We are heroes...!
Heroes....

Lookin' for a lady, walkin' through the bar
Supercool 'n' easy, he's a superstar
Talkin' to the cutie, looking pretty shy
"Move your hips around and make me smile"
"I'm the one you're looking for
'cause I am the guy"
She just turns around and says:
"Kiss my ass goodbye"

Who do you think you are, to look at me like this
Who do you think you are, not a single kiss
Who do you think you are, you're talking much to loud
Who do you think you are, get back into the crowd

Now he's getting closer, gettin' in my sight
Oh my God he's seen me, it's too late to hide
Heavy Metal monkey, silly looks and walk
Rock 'n' Roll pretender, now he starts to talk

"Nice to see you. how's it going?"
bla bla bla
I say why don't you turn around
And get back to the bar

Who do you think you are, to talk to me like this
Who do you think you are, I got you on my list
Who are you, you're talking much to loud
Who do you think you are, get back into the crowd

Who do you think you are, to talk to me like this
Who do you think you are, I got you on my list
Who do you think you are, you're talking much to loud
Who do you think you are, get back into the crowd

Comin' out of misery, back to the old energy, takin' part in our daily show.
Think of what has been before, made a move and slammed the door.
Future will remain in the unknown.

Face the face of the race, try to understand.
Why are we here and what do we want,
The answer is easy, let's spread it around.
Loud and proud, we're gonna say it now,

Live-Life-Easy
Live-Life-Easy
Live-Life-Easy

Many things to think about, bring me up or bring me down
A lot of things I hardly understand.
What is good and what is fair, problems solved, but I don't care
Sometimes it's just getting out of hand.
Face the face of the race, try to understand.
I know that you know that we can be strong
If we pull together, we can get along
Loud and proud, we're gonna say it now,
Live-Life-Easy
Live-Life-Easy
Live-Life-Easy
Let us fly away, let us praise the days
When the lust for the life is stronger than the fear.
Though we shiver and shake and we sometimes need a break.
It's the lust for life that never disappears.
Loud and proud, we're gonna say it now,
Live-Life-Easy
Live-Life-Easy
Live-Life-Easy

GARDENS OF THE SINNER
Music: Zimmermann and Hansen/Lyrics: Zimmermann and Hansen

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 groes 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 desease
and as the wind carried the deadly seed
to the minds of the doomed
they were gone for the stages 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
now the time of truth has come for everyone
The fallen angel stands in victory

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.

Bridge;
You think you put your best foot forward
But it is moved by someone else.
In blind belidf you follow every path that says;
I lead you to an universe of fortune,fame and luck.

Chorus;
Do you really wanna be - rich and famous,rich and famous
Do you raally wanna be - rich and famous now

I don't believe in Rock n' Roll illusions.
I don't believer that what that what they say most always be the truth.
I don't believer in good guys against bad guys.
I just might as well say I belevev in Santa clous.

Breide - Chorus

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 bars, big jacuzzi, car whith TV
Private airplane, furs and diamonds, seafood cocktails-CRAP AND BULLSHIT!

One time in life is all I need, to satisfy my senses
Delusions of reality are tearing your defenses

I never tried 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 on 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 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

(Solo Hansen / Schlachter & Hansen / Hansen)

I never thought I catch the rainbow
But in the end it's all a dream
I see a face in my 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

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)

ARMAGEDDOM
Music: Hansen/Lyrics: 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 th 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
the eyes of the world are closin' forever
when the day of the judgement has...

It's the end of the world as we know it
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

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

In your sky there is no limit
and masters we have none
heavy metal is the only one

'cause its heavy metal universe
an it's never going down
flying 'cross the universe
we're heavy metal bound
we're heavy metal bound

With a burning hot desire
like a supersonic blast
we have come to show the world
that we have come to last

There ain't no way to stop us
and you'll never kill our pride
'cause it's not only music
it's a chosen way of life

And our world has got no borders
and in union we all stand
'cause heavy metal is our promissed land

'cause it's a heavy metal universe
with a heavy metal sound
masters of the thunder
shake you to the ground

It's a heavy metal bomber
and it's never going down
flying 'cross the universe
we're heavy metal bound
we're heavy metal bound

See my hands held to the sky
let me rock you 'till forever
raise your voice we're soaring high
swear allegance now or never
burning up we build a flame
as we speak the oath togheter
metal is our way forever...
... way forevermore

And our world has got no borders
and in union we all stand
'cause heavy metal is our promissed land

'cause it's a heavy metal universe
with a heavy metal sound
masters of the thunder
shake you to the ground
it's a heavy metal bomber
and it's never going down
flying 'cross the universe
we're heavy metal bound
we're heavy metal bound

ONE WITH THE WORLD
Music: Hansen, Wessel/Lyrics: Hansen

Do you think there's a chance
For this world to live in unity as one?
I can try to believe
But I feel it's like a view into the sun.

Blinded by the light everything will look so fine
But still I feel the rays are burning my soul.

So you say you believe
We can change the world together if we try.
I know we won't change.
When it comes to the point
Do you think we reach an aim that is too high?
I know we don't arrange.

But I know we're all the same
When the final curtain falls
And the Sighs on the way
Are leading us home

When I'm one with the world
I am one with my mind
Forget all the fury there's no need to cry
There's a place we all go, salvation to find
There's freedom to come
When I'm one with the world and my mind.

Do you feel, do you know?
There's an answer to the question when you're gone.
You're not alone.
You will see, we will see
Is there nothing or a better place to go?
We can't go wrong.

There are echoes in the wind
And they say don't be afraid
'cos the Sighs on the way
Are leading us home

When I'm one with the world
I am one with my mind
Forget all the fury there's no need to cry
There's a place we all go, salvation to find
There's freedom to come
When I'm one with the world and my mind.

One with the world
One with the world
One with the world
I am one!
One with the world
One with my mind
One with my heart

RAZORBLADE SIGH
Music: Hansen/Lyrics: 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, graining 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 beyond
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 drawning 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 drawning of time
on the wings of the razorblade

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

[Originally performed by HELLOWEEN, written by Kai Hansen]



I was born in the rotten part of the town

The biggest trap I had seen

Wherever you'll go and wherever you'll get to

Evil is all around



My mother's a bitch my father's a killer

Gettin' paid for murder

Fightin' and strugglin' the whole day

The only way to survive



[Bridge:]



Wanted from law but they'll never catch me

I'd much rather die in this bloody war



[Chorus:]



Fly high touch the sky

Never know the reason why it ends

Victim of fate!



I had to kill people to save my own life

I don't wanna go to hell

I started at the bottom

I'm headin' for the top



I'll never return I'll never go back

To that goddamn part of the town

Headhunters won't get me 'cause I'm not stupid

But this ain't the life I dreamt of



[Bridge]



[Chorus]



What now lonely man who's standing

In the shadows of the streets

You're left alone with no helpin' hand beside you

You hide from the daylight living in darkness

You got no friends you can trust nobody

Except for yourself

The only shade that's beside you

Is the shade of Lucifer

Laughing with a satanic smile

And his friend Death sharpens his sickle

You don't wanna die, do you? But you will

You will burn in hell!



[Chorus]



Fly high, touch the sky, you will die!

We drive, we drive, we're riding on through the universe
We've come to reach our destination planet earth
We come, we run, you 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
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 shared 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 future and a home
For us all
For us all
Come on and shine, Rising Star

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 rassing by
then the world will sink in silence
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 end.


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 all uh, yeah


see and hear what we have done to us all,
we wanna be free more than antthing,
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.

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

[THE GUARDIANS OF MANKIND]
Music: Richter/Lyrics: 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 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

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
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

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

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

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

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 better dreams in me
Just 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
On our own dream world there's a fortress
It's only waiting to be found
I gaze around and think: This must be magic
Cause there's no limits all around

I don't mind to stay a while in dreamland
So come on now and take me of with you
If together we would fly, for all eternity
I would not refuse
If I had it all I wouldn't mind, my friend
To say goodbye, to feeling free
To stay or leave is just an easy case
Your wings will always come for me

I don't mind to stay a while in dreamland
A place to leave my soul far behind
Together we will fly, thru heaven and thru hell
To no mans land to no mans world

Together we will fly thru all eternity
Only you and me, only you and me
On our way to the land of the free

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.

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

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
