HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA
Welcome to my catacomb, pull up a tomb, sit down,
This is the brew, try it it's new,
I've been waiting for you just you drink this
The wings of a bat, the blood of a cat, the skin of a rat, it does taste nice..
You'll forget where you've been, forget what you've seen, you won't feel


a thing, you just
Drink it all down your heart will pound see you around,
HAVE A PLEASANT JOURNEY !

I'm walking down a street with no end
an evening wind is blowing cold
ethereal tune a radio voice
alone in the heart of the crowd
what's in the air
the feeling they share
looking full of hope
oh no no no
sorry, sorry, sorry, I'm not the one you've been waiting for
sorry, sorry, sorry, I'm not the one you've been praying for
the savior from afar
collar up high, a fresh cigarette
vacant windows line the way
men on the news with nothing to say


they tell the same tales every day
suffering alone whispering cries
trying to call
I can't help you
sorry, sorry, sorry, I'm not the one you've been waiting for
sorry, sorry, sorry, I'm not the one you've been praying for
the savior from afar
[ahhh aaaaa's]
sorry, sorry, sorry, I'm not the one you've been waiting for
sorry, sorry, sorry, I'm not the one you've been praying for
the savior from afar

Out of the depth of nothing
In nobobdy's time
The earth was created
The first morning starts
Sun appears in the sky
Winds stroking waves
Evening shadows tumble down
Eclipse the sun of life
Herald the night
Burning lights arise
people take their places
Dance a merry round
They live without fear
Help each other in their way through life
Tomorrow we'll see
They forget life's goal
Destroying their future
If you see in the sky above
The sun is black
You see up there in white
The moon gets red
You fall down on your knees
The earth is gone
So far you will never see it again
They come from darkness
Right into my light
Unknown fields of signs in my mind
They made contact with my conciousness
Told me words of other worlds
Come let us see distance of feelings
Anxious dreams dreams so near I feel full of fear
I tell you about my experience
Trust in your power follow the light
It's so easy to find it around you
Guess where it comes from hold it in your hand
Check up your thinking throw off your doubts
Learn to swim in the sea of confidence
I'm understanding the meaning of the words
They told me when I was young
But the day will come
When the sun is black and the moon is red
The earth is going down
See the day come, thousands of people run
RE-calling former times I know so well
The time is near the light of darkness shines
Till the end of our time from this day

It seems like a dream that's come to an end
But it still carries on, I don't know what to think it's unreal:
The world seems to start outside of my body, I don't know what I feel.
In these four hallowed walls the peal of the bells remind me
Of my journey through time but my thoughts still remain with Jeanne:
I wish she were with me, I need her here

I've spent my life in darkness
blind enslaved on the factory floor
and now a new sensation
lost at sea I can see the shore
ha

ha

I'm seeing trees growing
I'm hearing birds singing
I'm feeling rain falling
spring is coming
winters on the run
Each drop of rain's a heat beat
bringing life to this barren ground
with nature's cycle turning
seeds of creation all around

I'm seeing trees growing

spring is coming
winters on the run
stand up, stand up, face a world full of light
stand up, stand up, it's the end of the night
I feel, I feel, the rays of the sun
I feel, I feel, winter on the run
stand up, stand up, face a world full of light
stand up, stand up, it's the end of the night
I feel, I feel, the rays of the sun
I feel, I feel, winter on the run

When the mighty sons of the spheres beyond
distributed the elements of earth
they laid down the foundation-stone
of highest spiritual birth
which ever existed since thousands of years
but is lost now in the future and past
lightyears away from our daily tears
those unperceived moments which always last

Poseidon became lord of earthquake and seas
master of oceans and all their wealth
god of an island, there lived a family
with a daughter of beauty and health

Atlantis was the island's name
greatest treasury of all times
human eyes didn't ever see the same
silver and gold, fertile hills, woodlands and plains
it was situated in front of the strait
they call "The Columns of Herakles"

Kleito was the daughter's name
a princely virgin of clearness and love
so Poseidon fell in love with her
and built a shrine on the mountains above
surrounded by a golden wall
and inside he placed his holy law

Son of god and daughter of earth
they created ten sons, human creatures
who've been of supreme beings at birth
of pure essence and perfect features
what a divine possibility to overcome evil
so listen what man did!

good and bad watch out for nightriders
at night the streets become their sole domain
there's no escape no matter how you try
motorcycle, flaming eyes
that's the law now a badge and a gun
once they were there to defend and to serve
now controlling everyone
law enforcement soldiers men made for war
what was once called justice stands unopposed as the law
we warn our children of the nightriders
you might not see them but they're always there
don't make mistakes for they don't understand
look into their eyes
you'll be caught now you're trying to run


see an escape but you won't get away
they ask no questions they reach for the gun
law enforcement soldiers men made for war
what was once called justice stands unopposed as the law
from my roof I am watching the scene
see the beams of their lights in the dark
nightriders patrolling our dreams
law enforcement soldiers men made for war
what was once called justice stands unopposed as the law
law enforcement soldiers men made for war
what was once called justice stands unopposed as the law

Your father told me I can stay,
But he mistrusts my unfamiliar ways:
He want's to use the things I've learnt
Six hundred years of knowledge sorely earned.
But if we can stay together,
I don't mind the things he tells me:
Of defending him in mutiny,
I don't care if you're there, I don't care
One the farms they've made a stand,
Against the hated iron hands, they're uniting
They're backed by everyone in town,
And I must ride to beat them down, how they're fighting:
But I understand their cause
To fight against the laws, they're right:
I promised to defend
your father to the end and fight
The hatred's there in their eyes,
They'll break his might it's no surprise if they do it:
But I must take the other side
And somehow learn to stand and fight, and come through it:
Though there's little chance
That I beat bow and lance, I must:
Our love drives me on
For you're the only one I can trust

At last I realize, I see the world through different eyes
now there's a feeling of joy in my heart
you know there was a time when doubt and strife controlled my life
until I felt it would tear me apart
I was so lonely, waiting hoping for sight in the dark
and it was only the light inside that provided the spark
a sudden vision of the world around that pushed me to rhyme
another range of possiblilties justified my time
here from my roof I see a scheme of things which pleases me
no desperation no fear and no doubt
I use to kneel and pray I could some day break away
but I don't need to I've found my way out
I was so lonely, waiting hoping for sight in the dark
and it was only the light inside that provided the spark
am I a madman out of control?


or the only one aware of his soul?
my hideaway my place to stay
my refuge lies in metromania
my sanctuary, my satori
my freedom lies in metromania
oh yeah
am I a madman out of control
or the only one aware of his soul?
my hideaway my place to stay
my refuge lies in metromania
my sanctuary, my satori
my freedom lies in metromania

Madhouse, isolation
Madhouse, in desolation
A house of silence during the day,
Seems bewitching
How everyone stays away, no-one dare go near
Madhouse, night-time nearing
Madhouse, lights appearing
They're turning night into day
Freak musicians
Smoke, drifting slowly away with the music
Maybe all the people on the outside looking in
Don't understand the life that's there inside is not all sin
Musicians make their music, smoke, make love, so if that's bad,
Who outside could claim that they've got happiness like that

I'll tell you who I am and whence I came,
It's not going to be easy to explain
By body has returned, my mind is all at sea
Will you tell me who you are and where we're meant to be?
She answers in an gentle, lilting style,
Says little but speaks volumes with a smile
With a sparkle in her eye, she takes me by the hand
'Let us take a walk, I'll answer all I can.'
April, 1358...Paris...I don't understand any more... my name is
Jamie...and mine is a strange story... one which even I don't fully
understand...my father is a scientist... and he has been
experimenting with time-eroding drugs... I was sitting in his
workroom..it was late at night...and I was thinking... you know,
about me and my future...I've just left school...and I don't know
what I want to do...I must have somehow have taken the drug... and
landed up here.
My name is Jeanne . . and let me tell you my story . . my father owns
many acres around here ... which are farmed by peasants ... whom he
rules with an iron hand .. the neighbouring landlord's even worse
... and I'm supposed to marry his son ... That's not my choice, you
know, 'like father, like son'.
Well I see we've both got our problems ... perhaps we can help each
other ... I've got something here... lots of my friends smoke it...
I don't suppose you know it... try it, it helps at times like these...
Oh what a beautiful feeling... everything shimmering in the
twilight... look at that sunset... I've never seen such colours
before... it all seems suspended in eternity... I wish moments like
these would last forever... I'm not worried any more... what are you
thinking?I can't think at the moment... but I feel as if we've known each
other for years... let's just enjoy it.
Somehow we must stay together, lifelong friend, my lifelong friend,
Love like ours will last forever, never end, and never end:
We'll somehow wipe away our fears,
And find a way bridge the years
