Disc One

We Burn

(Deris)

Climb down my pile And again to the beat of my heart You're so exciting Take all the soul I will give you as much as you want Control my feelings Higher, much higher Unbounded fire Closer, much closer Close to the core We burn, we burn I contaminate you I like to pollute you with my G-g-generations Look in my eyes And we melt into on yearning mind We climb the stages Higher, much higher Unbounded fire Closer, much closer Close to the core We burn, we burn Insanity, insanity Never set me free

Wake Up The Mountain

(Kusch/Deris)

Some people die And even never realize Man's growing blind Is seeing only with eyes We think we're strong Believe we never could be wrong But we are fools Because we are dying by the rules Though I cannot change the world we're living in I can always change myself One more to count in Wake up the moutain All colour's slowly turning to grey Our world is darkling Wake up the mountain And we will find it once more again Cash and careers Built on countles sums of fears All good of life Begin to vanish behind tears How do we know Why did we choose the way we follow Why do we hurt Why do we hurt the ones we love Though I cannot change the world we're living in I can always change myself One more to count in Wake up the moutain All colour's slowly turning to grey Our world is darkling Wake up the mountain And we will find it once more again Once more again We made the rules and we can change them Break down the orders on by one We made the laws and we can break them Break down the mountain Stone by stone by stone by stone

Sole Survivor

(Deris/Weikath)

I got that fever Burning my head So many memories No tear to shed Burns like a fire Who stole my aims? My comrade fighters Been sent astray How could I know What others had in mind for me? How would they know What measures I take? Sole survivor Of a kill without alert sing your feelings out Your song remains unheard Sole survivor We shared like brothers A light in the black Totally blended Bold and erect But we've grown intriguers Till it's too late Time has brought fire Fear, greed and hate Now I'm cryin' Shattered on the ground All I find Has died anyway Sole survivor Of a kill without alert Sing your feelings out Your song remains unheard Sole survivor Got a voice without a sound Mean mistreaters Took away your ground Sole survivor SOLO Sole survivor...

The Chance

(Grapow)

We're living in a constant fight Too much pressure everywhere And all around Don't let it pull you down Hold on tight Cling to your dreams Don't you depend on someone else Think for yourself and win the race The chance you got comes never twice Do your best, (and) do it right Time will come but don't you hide You are on your way You're led by God but you're not a pawn Should live your life, don't care 'bout any scorn Just let them fool around No need to cry Don't give up Try to be as smart as you can be I know you own so much ability

Why?

(Deris)

Father, it's time Have a heart for your child who cries in pain Not a new sign But a strike that'll blow those fools away Open your eyes If you've got any you just look for too long a time They spit on your name Doin' everything darnned as highest crime They believe they could walk on the water Playin `Godsleep with the devils' daughter Killed your son and might kill mine But you don't mind Why, Lord, why Tell me why In these lonely days I'd need your answer There's a reason why How could you fail? Still it's time, turn the black into the light Why do you wait? Do you look down and laugh at what you find? Can't you see they are mistreating their daughters They believe they could walk on the waters They killed your son and might kill mine But you don't mind Why, Lord, why Tell me why In these lonely days I'd need your answer There's a reason why Why, Lord, why Tell me why Your the only light forever lasting Tell me father, why SOLO Why, Lord, why Tell me why In these lonely days I'd need your answer There's a reason why Why, Lord, why Tell me why Your the only light forever lasting Tell me father, why Father it's time Father it's time ...

Eagle Fly Free

(Weikath)

People are in big confusion they don't like their constitutions Everyday they draw conclusions And they're still prepared for war Some can say what's ineffective Some make up themselves attractive Build up things they call protective Well your life seems quite bizarre Bridge: In the sky a mighty eagle Doesn't care 'bout what's illegal On its wings the rainbow's light It's flying to eternity Chorus: Eagle fly free Let people see Just make it your own way Leave time behind Follow the sign Together we'll fly someday Hey, we think so supersonic And we make our bombs atomic Or the better quite neutronic But the poor don't see a dime Nowadays the air's polluted Ancient people persecuted That's what mankind contributed To create a better time Bridge: In the sky a mighty eagle Doesn't care 'bout what's illegal On its wings the rainbow's light It's flying to eternity Chorus: Eagle fly free Let people see Just make it your own way Leave time behind Follow the sign Together we'll fly someday (Solos: Roland/both/Markus/Mike/Uli)

The Time Of The Oath

(Grapow/Deris)

In a circle of fire On a cold winter night I spoke out my desire Made a promise I couldn't hide, no! In a dream He came along and told me "Your time has come Your mind belongs to me" It's the time of the oath My sweetest memories Die in the cold It's the time of the oath See me covered with sadness And I'll soon wish to die When that overcoming madness Is eating up my mind Here and now I look back at a good time No more lie - I slowly say goodbye It's the time of the oath The time of the oath My sweetest memories die in the cold It's the time of the oath In a dream He came along and told me "Your time has come Just slowly say good-bye" It's the time of the oath The time of the oath My sweetest memories die in the cold It's the time of the oath

Future World

(Hansen)

If you're out there all alone And you don't know where to go to Come and take a trip with me to Future World And if you're running through your life And you don't know what the sense is Come and look how it could be, in Future World We all live in happiness our life is full of joy We say the word "tomorrow" without fear The feeling of togetherness is always at our side We love our life and we know we will stay Chorus Cause we all live in Future World A world that's full of love Our future live will be glorious Come with me--Future World You say you'd like to stay, But this is not your time Go back, find your own way to Future World Life can be for living Just try and never give in Tell everyone the way of Future World One day you'll live in happiness With a heart that's full of joy You'll say the word "tomorrow" without fear The feeling of togetherness will be at your side You'll say you love your life and you'll know why Chorus (Solo both/Roland/both) Scream it out Chorus

Dr. Stein

(Weikath)

Once they killed his monster when it went into a trap Now he's making better ones on a higher step Bridge: On a warm summer day the doctor went away To a place where he could make it real His assistant's hips were nice So he cloned her once or twice Now his hips are aching what a deal Chorus: Dr. Stein grows funny creatures Lets them run into the night They become great rock musicians And their time is right Sometimes when he's feeling bored He's calling it a day He's got his computers and they do it their own way Bridge: They mix some DNA, some skina and a certain spray You can watch it on a laser screen And the fellow's blue and grey Or sometimes pink and green Just check it out on Halloween Chorus: Dr. Stein grows funny creatures Lets them run into the night They become great politicians And their time is right (Solo: Mike/Roland/Mike/Roland) Bridge: One night he cloned himself Put his brother on a shelf But when he fell asleep that night It crept up from behind and thought "well never mind" Took a syringe and blew out his life Chorus: Dr. Stein grows funny creatures Lets them run into the night They become a great possession And their time is right Chorus: Dr. Stein grows funny creatures Lets them run into the night They become a great oppression And their time is right

Disc Two

Before The War

(Deris)

Come take a look up to the constellations Take the book of God You will find your relations If you understand You will know the solution Things will fall back to the constitution I'm a son of a distant future I'm the last of the seven troopers And I came here for the seventh war I'm a child of the stars The blaster of the gods Ad I have seen it all before Before the war Cold-hearted earth I'm the master of the universe And I have seen it all before Before the war Nature sets a limit on your millenary Turning every place into a cruel mean scenary All will get a chance to shun the holy file But you will be few getting under the wire I'm a son of a distant future I'm the last of the seven troopers And I came here for the seventh war I'm a child of the stars The blaster of the gods Ad I have seen it all before Before the war Cold-hearted earth I'm the master of the universe And I have seen it all before Before the war Mind the seventh war - mind the seventh war Yes I came here for the seventh war

Mr. Ego (Take Me Down)

(Grapow)

Take me down To a ground Just let me feel it If I let someone down Please welcome Him on the loosing side I shake you off And make my choice Don't wanna hear you Your slimy voice Please go down, please I don't wanna feel you around me Take me down to a higher ground To survive your mindless sound If you know all the people Why are you alone? If you know all the people You'll be goin' down I feel that man On my back Don't promise any crap Someone will break your neck You don't know how To soak my soul Let me out Let me go Open your eyes You told nothing but lies Please go down, please C'mon, go down with your ego Take me down to a higher ground To survive your mindless sound If you know all the people Why are you alone? If you know all the people You'll be goin' down Let me go ahead, let me go SOLO I will find an explanation Where's my only destination Separated ways now and forever Is the one and only measure Tales full of exaggerations No more manipulations And I think you are not funny Your brain is just a bloated dummy Take me down to a higher ground To survive your mindless sound If you know all the people Why are you alone? If you know all the people You'll be goin' down

Power

(Weikath)

Can you imagine someone being true Turn `round and put himself in front of you Sometimes it's fun but then you never know How far a thing like this might go All my life I've waited for a chance To get right out of here And when I had it in my hands I could not let it go We've got the power, we are divine We have the guts to follow the sign Extracting tension from sources unknown We are the ones to cover the throne Try if you can to come where we have gone You may achieve what can't be simply done Look back and there you are where we have been And still there's so much in-between All those years I've traveled `round this world Now I am standing here To make you sing these tunes And know they'll never let you go We've got the power, we are divine We have the guts to follow the sign Extracting tension from sources unknown We are the ones to cover the throne We've got the power, we are divine We have the guts to follow the sign Extracting tension from sources unknown We are the ones to cover the throne We've got the power, we are divine

Where The Rain Grows

(Weikath/Deris)

I never looked higher Than I could see Never gave less Than I have given me The more you have taken You turned into fakes I finally know now Why, for heavens' sake? Don't tell me you did not see that I cried Don't act so deaf and blind Don't think that if someone's made dumb to the core He would stay like before So I take my life Back from where the rain grows Die to survive Back from where the rain grows Now you call me liar 'cause you are just the "Always-have-right-fools-majority" I think that if someone starved at your side You'd all turn your back Won't give any dime Don't tell me you did not see that I cried Don't act so deaf and blind Don't think that if someone's made sad to the core He would stay like before So I take my life Back from where the rain grows Die to survive Back from where the rain grows SOLO So I take my life Back from where the rain grows Die to survive Back from where the rain grows I know where the rain grows I'm Back from where the rain grows

In The Middle Of A Heartbeat

(Deris/Weikath)

Tell me pretty girl, do you know how I am? Have you ever seen me as your friend? Anything we have is those hungry nights But there's so much left unsatisfied All those little things you told me Ain't good enough to show me That we're gonna make it through the time I found out In the middle of a heartbeat And I know that I'm doin' right Together we are still so far apart I found out In the middle of a heartbeat and the more I try to be your light I can't get any closer to your heart Now that I'm afraid just to ask for more I'm still waiting as I did before If you only said that it's not too late We could then rely upon your fate All those little things you'd tell me Could bear enough to show me That we're gonna make it through the time I found out In the middle of a heartbeat And I know that I'm tellin' right Together we are still so far apart I found out In the middle of a heartbeat and the more I try to be your light I can't get any closer to your heart SOLO I found out I found out I found out In the middle of a heartbeat And I know that I'm doin' right Together we are still so far apart I found out In the middle of a heartbeat ...

Perfect Gentleman

(Deris/Weikath)

There is no doubt about it I'm one of a kind, baby I am le d'Artagnan de coeur As you may see, candy And I'm talkin with my eyes And I walk in different styles I'm the genuine man! Yes I am I am a perfect gentleman Yes I am I am a perfect gentleman Kneel down, inhale my odor Come, kiss my hand, angel Dare to explore my higher grounds Strive to deserve me, ma cherie And my winds surpass perfume I'm charismatic at full bloom I'm the genuine man! Yes I am I am a perfect gentleman Yes I am I am a perfect gentleman Yes I am, I am, yes I am (perfect) SOLO Oh Lord, what can I do I can't resist my own reflection How would possibly anyone? Cause I am (perfect) Yes I am (perfect) Oh Lord I am (perfect) Yes I am I am a perfect gentleman Yes I am I am a perfect gentleman

Steel Tormentor

(Weikath/Deris)

Headless Pulling the machine down Coming to the low sound Feeling like a real man Racing Flashing from down under Flesh and blood and thunder Trembling wheel in cold wheel in cold hand Faster, much faster What a human speed disaster Deeper, much deeper On through the void I cast'er I'm a steel tormentor And I speed 'round ev'ry curve I'm a mean imperator Of my intimate machine Turkey Near to devastation Losing all mt patience Cannot make this kit fly Danger Muscular contradiction Out for satisfaction Mere intoxication Nightide, it's nightride Try to catch my taillights So sad, I'm so sad But you won't ever suck my steel bride I'm a steel tormentor And I speed 'round ev'ry curve I'm a mean imperator Of my intimate machine Back to Main Lyrics Page
