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)
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.
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.
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
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!
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
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
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)
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)
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

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
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
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
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
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
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)
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!
