1. | Burial | 04:44 | Show lyrics |
There’s a light in the darkness Oh, tomorrow And the wheel keeps turning in the skies Never close your eyes before tomorrow A new life, a new love will find its way So hold on, child, to what you’ve got: To your dreams, your visions and your heart Hold on, child, and wait until dawn Because tomorrow is the seed of a new life There’s a light in the darkness Oh, tomorrow And the wheel of fortune’s turning round Never close your eyes before tomorrow Because the fire of love is still alight So hold on, child, to what you’ve got: To your dreams, your visions and your heart Hold on, child, and wait until dawn Because tomorrow sees the end of your night |

Come as you are: Lay your body next to mine Your heart in my hands May my love and my silence inspire your soul Come as your are: While a memory still remains frozen in time And a word takes its meaning to my realm of oblivion Oh, come as you are! Come as you are: In your deathbed bespangled with roses and dandelion No more strains, no vendettas - all of this has gone now! Come as your are: Death’s not more but a dream that seems so unreal Still the wind speaks your name when spring-time returns Oh, come as you are! No more tears to cry as the sea rolls on by No more lonely nights Yet an angel stands by your side Just come to me: The child and the man The fool and the sage that you are Oh, come as you are! |

3. | The Endless Dance | 14:07 | Show lyrics |
As the time has come for me to leave this world How I longed to probe into the guarded mystery Had to realise the best kept secret was my life itself Beware, you sages, far too wise: The last joke’s on you! I’ve seen the light in the dawning day I’ve seen love - in a burning haze Don’t you tell me I squandered this precious life For much too long I listened to your insidious voice Deafened by fear, blinded by hate: You missed the point I might die but I die laughing straight into your face I’ve tasted blood on your lips Divine magenta - heavenly No wise books can replace a single word you’ve said No dreams were sweeter than those I dreamed in your arms No drug did take me higher than the scent of you No fire be as fervent as your desire Where ever you are, where ever you roam For you I sing the sweetest song Salve Regina Quae pervia caeli porta manes et stella maris Vita dulcedo et spes nostra, Salve Ave Regina Caelorum Ave Domina Daemonum Salve Radix ex qua mundo lux est orta, Decora You call my name You walk amongst the late The seventh veil left at rainbow’s end We’re passing time like ferries crossing a stream Into the underworld: Cerridwen’s domain Come aside and cry for this is the spring of tears Weep for the child inside gone from you Died away: No place in the upper world But who will nourish our dreams When laughter expires? To some a nightmare, to some a dream The day will end for some, as the night begins for one "Come aside the fires of my tribe, find shelter here" The wise woman takes the bone and points at me: Who am I to be? Not a single word trips from my lips so I start to dance Whilst the dark crone holds my soul, I lay down my mask See my heart is in your hands See my wings are broken The fire starts to burn my flesh to the bone Trial by flames I stand all alone: My guide’s disappeared Naked and blind the new born god is dressed in innocence "Shall I dare or stay unconscious? Who’ll be telling me wrong from right?" As shadows fall like leaves in September wind We’re trying to keep us warm with the ashes of our memories But when nightmares call, we don’t persist at all Retrospective dreams collide stranded on that wasteland’s shore As shadows fall And will my name be called? Up on the mountain bare In black cloth dressed and desperate fear As shadows fall Silence of remembrance fades I dreamed we once held hands but I awake As shadows fall In nomine Magnae Deae Nostrae Introibo ad altarem Dominae Inferae Quae regit terram I’ve tasted blood without tongue My skin shed at your feet "Am I to sacrifice?" I asked the all-knowing crone "Until you understand you’ll die!" the crone replied This might be heaven, might be hell - no difference I see "Salvation can’t be found in here..." I sadly sighed Where is the sun? Who’ll light my day? Where are the stars? Who’ll guide my way? I try to hide but inexorably a voice like thunder coming up And as the midnight sun drowns the world in velvet light I call your name through the ashes of time Of all transgressions I can’t take no more Deliverance, your love, is all I implore As flowers burn I hear the wolves return... At this desolate place Lost in time and lost in space Remembrance of a golden age In these days of yore: A magic spell Was it your name I called? I’ll try again... And like a dream Your loving face I touch your golden skin just for a while Entwined we fly through the blackest skies You smile, I take your hand - back home again! Osculetur me, osculo oris sui Quia meliora sunt ubera tua vino Fragrantia unguentus optimis Oleum effusum nomen tuum Ideo adolescentulae dilerexunt te Trahe me post te As flowers burn I hear the wolves return... |

4. | Requiem | 07:33 | Show lyrics |
And will the vows be heard of immortal desire A breathtaking darkness Into the abyss we dive As you were mine And as memories fade Just like trails of smoke On a midwinter’s night You kept holding me tight As you were mine On came the nights When storm-clouds veiled the skies All heavens stood still And all the worlds did collide "Forgive me - I failed!" Lovelorn I will die Nothing more but a dream That you were mine And when the time has come Everything ends But this love of ours It leaves us behind As you were mine In my cold white hands A lover’s bequest There were stars on our side Just one last caress For once you were mine "My friend, the most precious gift" said the fool "Is a love that follows no rules: There’s no use in turning away! So why are you turning away?" On came the nights When storm-clouds veiled the skies All heavens stood still And all the worlds did collide "Forgive me - I failed!" Lovelorn I will die Nothing more but a dream That you were mine |

[Jehovah:] Read in my book of lies of atrocities, blood and sacrifice! My temples erected in gold and bone The stupid sheep turn theis head to the blind! [Priestess:] And comes the winter of your life The king of kings - left to your own device The ones who thought to walk in light will freeze to death in the endless night! [The Angels:] The Goddess of the Night comes! 3 curses to the holy throne! No regrets! It’s too late! The Goddess of the Night comes! Will ask for what have you done! The father, holy ghost and son! No remand... [The Witch:] The sisters murdered king long ago still sing their songs in my heart The tunes, the pipes, the words, the rhymes Still call me through the times! [Jehovah:] Your senseless prayers I never hear The sign of the cross in praise of your fear! Your little belief is just a crap on the rotten body of your so-called "Christ"! [Priestess:] The blind, the crippled and the lame still keep the faith in a god of disgrace But a songless bird will never sing to the dying glory of a bogous king! [The Angels:] The Goddess of the Night comes... [The Witch:] The sisters murdered king ago still sing their songs in my heart The tunes, the pipes, the words, the rhymes Still call me through the times! "You cut me down and I’ll leap high I am the Life that never dies So dance where ever you may be The ruler of the dance is she!" [The Fool:] And my elder sister takes me by the hand And we spiral sideways to a far away land In the Tempest she sings with the Ocean’s roar Glowing in the Storm that the Mermaid bore! Them witches calling Up from the shore They walk behind me Throught the door! Oh, my youngest sister, oh where have you been? Behind the moon on the other side of dream? Oh, she guides me back sa the raven cries but we’ll meet again for to dance in the skies! [Jehovah:] I am the scum of this dark age I’m your beginning and your end! Ovlivion takes my place The frame holds just another face of death! [Priestess:] Abd who will count the slaughtered lifes? The Burned? The Tortured? The Demised? All The Blood of the Innocent? The Decline of the stolen Trinity? [The Angels:] The Goddess of the Night comes... [The Witch:] The sisters murdered long ago The Endless Dance |

See the girl on the floor As she’s watching the rain Like sallow tracks of blood poring down Scattered over the floor The sheets painted in black Showing a fettered mouthless child Her Mother’s gone shopping and she prays For her Daddy not to come home But for Jane’s prayers no god gives a damn Her Daddy is back to play with Jane! She closes her eyes to break away from the girl Lying raped and abused on the ground No use to commit herself to anyone For who’s believe Jane She feels hate for being treated this way Is it her fault Daddy’s playing these games? She tries in vain to think of something She might have done wrong Goodbye to Jane Goodbye to Jane Goodbye to Jane See the girl on the floor She can’t bear it no more: Lewdy hands defiling her skin! A life like that means not much to Jane The belt ’round her neck gently takes her away! He’s closing the door for she seems asleep: Those sickening games won’t be played anymore! No-one could explain what happend to Jane She was only one in a million girls Goodbye to Jane Goodbye to Jane Goodbye to Jane |

By the river I sat down one day Saw my life the other way All those trials to no avail Broken dreams was all I bloody gained Way down, Carry me down To the River of Life! Vindicate! Remember well when I was a child They promised me a paradise But promises turned into lies All they left us was a world demise! Way down, Carry me down To the River of Life! Anyhow! Hold me in your arms Drown me in sweet moisture Lascivious fiery breath covering Your fangs softly penetrate the pleasure and the pain! Dissolving I discern: I’m not dead! I asked for love, got a golden cage Plastic emotions in a plastic age The pain I felt they told me wasn’t real "The Earth!", I cried - my last appeal! Way down, Carry me down To the River of Life! Come to light! Now it’s my turn to realize To change the road, to change the side The past has gone: May it rest in peace A new dawn fades as She sows the seed Way down, Carry me down To the River of Life! Recognize! Hold me in your arms... Drown me in sweet moisture Lascivious fiery breath overflow Your fangs softly penetrate the pleasure and the pain! Dissolving I discern: I’m still alive! A midnight’s dream disclosure saw momentous desire My life layed in your hands, My confidence! The background of reality just one step away Am I to cross the frontier? Am I to dare? In dreams I died a thousand times But then one dream: A golden shrine Her whispered words did soothe my grief What a candour in this world of thieves Way down, Carry me down To the River of Life! Indicate! I hear the call of the roaring sea Still a fire’s burning inside of me The wind shall take me to another shore The Earth I am, for evermore! Way down, Carry me down To the River of Life! Eternity! And as I try to stand the trial Dreams and Memories of You Come haunting me like demons! But I won’t fail this time Because my Love had been asleep for much too long! Oh Eva, Your Love so previous and pure! May the Goddess grant me a second miracle So I may lie in Your arms again! For You are the Sun, the Moon and the Stars to me! You are the only one I desire from the depths of my heart! Desperate I walk the blackness of the Maze Trying to follow the footsteps of an unforgetable Love they’s bring me back again to You, Eva, my Beloved! |

6. | Her Orphaned Throne | 11:36 | Show lyrics |
Destiny turned the page to another side in my book of life: "He who once was artless like a child had to face the blackest night!" While I was unaware, She must have silently faded away: "Whereas his shadow walks the Earh in restless search for the Queen!" As the cold begins to bite, in Nightmare’s realm I lie awake: "Fading voices calling back the years into time’s deadly embrace!" Behind these delusive hills where gales ensnare a paralyzed sun: "In sombre distress he’s entering the hall just to find Her Orphaned Throne!" Broken and desperate before Her Orphaned Throne Holding a dying sparraw in his hands His eyes full of tears had seen the wasted land Will She ever come again? Ever come again? Suam sanclam ad sedern liceat me vobis sequi Si sanum me facere volueritis Suam sancta ad sedem, ad marin Si enim hoc loco versatus sim, periturus est Suam sanctam ad sedem liceat me vobis sequi Num hoc solo loco me Dea expectat Passion turned out to be a slip of the pen amongst the lines of fate: "All that was left in the end: Forgotten echoes in a dream!" For only a fool’s solemnity might ignite the driftwood of my heart: "Still My Life shines on every move you make: Just call My Name and I’ll be there!" So cranky and blind I did not see, rashness made me lose my own way: "Fragments of glass cutting through his veins: I shall save him from this pain!" Destiny turned the page to the final chapter in my book of life: "Awake see him lie in Marah’s warm embrace - I’m returning on My Throne!" Broken and desperate... |

7. | Descending Messiah | 10:48 | Show lyrics |
Down in the valley on a midwinter’s night Walks the crone unseen by human kind Her weary heart longing for rest Her eyes saw too much of sorrow and grief There was a time when she was adored And the valley was full of bliss and joy Until the day the gaunt one appeared He never smiled nor shed any tear And he raised his voice: "Behold, I’m Messiah!" It was then she knew Her time had come A dream? A dream? It’s only a dream A dream? A dream? She lives in my dreams The man, he spoke of commandments and sins Of wicked wives, of chaste and virtuous men He’d sown the seed of mischief in their hearts Those once proud now a submissive crowd And he raised his voice: "Behold, I’m Messiah! I’m the son of god: I come in fire! My kingdom come, my will be done!" It was then she knew Her time had come A dream? A dream? It’s only a dream A dream? A dream? She lives in my dreams Now the blind are leading the blind Independence and wisdom exchanged for ignorance and minority Seizure and oppression amongst the once born free But still no one dared to raise a hand against the crone They were aware - despite his sermons - that she still held the strength and the power And as she makes her way through centuries and decades She waits for human kind to awake and shake off the chains of Messiah In patience she walks the world in search for those Who uphold the memento of the Golden Age While in his church, in fitful sleep, tormented by nightmares Lies Messiah in fright of the dark The demons he raised to strike the blind with fear were not just a mirage They’ve become alive to haunt Messiah To end creation’s devastation The senseless sacrifice She, the weaver, Weaves the veil of damnation! And out of the skies Valkyries and Erinyes rising Avenging angels of doom Called by the crone The wandering ones seek for vengeance Awaiting the last stand The earth awakes in fire, thunderstorm and lightning Night calls into being decline And up in the skies The crone in the midst of silence Armageddon has now begun! And out of his dreams Messiah pleas: "Goddess, have mercy upon me!" "Misguided prophet See my scythe Descending over you!" Down in the valley beneath the river of time Sits the crone remembering human kind Now winter’s gone and springtime has come And all the ashes are washed away... |

Oh Goddess Sister of Night Mother of Life Guardian of Time to You I raise my voice for I have walked in darkness through vales of pain and I drank from springs of tears Let my body burst into blossom again of flourishing beauty or bury me deep in Mother Earth Let my eyes be passionate messengers again of my undying love for her or close them forever Let my lips drink from hers again the enrapturing liqueur of desire or seal them forever Let my soul touch hers again Oh, let her heart yearn for mine once more or drown me forever in the sea of oblivion Let her love be inflamed for me again in deepest passion and lust or burn me on the pyre of unfulfilled desire May out of this darkness arise a new dawn or let these words be my epitaph... |

3. | Trying Not to Breathe | 09:37 | Show lyrics |
Oh, this void inside tears my soul apart Why did you lie? I lost my faith in you! Once there was purity but now only perfidy and pain because you‘ve been untrue! You broke all promises and now our love is bound to die and so am I - I die! Lost forever within the debris of my dreams I put my trust in you! How could you leave me in a lurch after all that I‘ve gone through What the hell did you do? Down on my knees I pray: „Save me, save me, save me, please!“ but no hope anymore - I die! I‘m trying not to breathe! I can‘t stand this anymore therefore I‘ll leave I‘m trying not to breathe! And so I‘ll leave this world behind broken by faithlessness of the killing kind I‘m trying not to breathe! Remember when you called my name? I‘ve been always there for you! To me it‘s more than just a game I loved you too much, and still I do! Now your body‘s so close to mine I kiss your lips goodbye To lie in your arms for a last time before I die! And he dreams of days gone by Floating down to the other side A thousand Angels cry Firing squad against the walls of light Not again another day Now his love has lost the last stand Oh Angels, hear him pray As he‘s passing away into her hands! I‘m trying not to breathe! I can‘t stand your loss, your lies; therefore I‘ll leave I‘m trying not to breathe! and so I try to leave the pain behind of treason that became the killing kind I‘m trying not to breathe! But you swore you‘d love me forever and it was only yesterday What have I done to deserve this Am I destiny‘s fool? And I hate you, and I love you for what you‘ve done to me Oh shit, why did you leave me in such despair? I‘m trying not to breathe though I try so hard to reach the other side I‘m trying not to breathe No more songs for me to sing because you leave Now I think I see the light: Goodbye, my love! Oh, I‘m trying not to breathe |

Farewell, pretty one: It‘s all over now you‘ve gone After all that we went through, you left me when I needed you The times we shared, the good and bad, were the best I‘ve ever had, the best years of my life.... Farewell, pretty one: I‘ve put all my faith in you and I can‘t understand: Did you lie on that night you said you‘d never let me go? Oh, I believed each word you‘ve said I believed until the end It‘s so hard to realize you never wanted me that close by your side And the snow falls back in time down the hillside on our sledge we‘d ride We were laughing in the january sun And for a moment time stood still as we rode on and on and on.... Still the snow falls on Yule-tide falls forever on that dreary mountainside And the ghost of our love stands right above: A monument of your smile And our laughter that died so long ago lingers on and on and on... Never will I forget our last winter Never will I forget the last winter of our love! Goodbye, pretty one: You broke my heart twice, now I‘m done! You left me like a dream at the break of dawn and I almost died And even if you‘re lying now in someone else‘s arms I‘m still with you in a dream, in dreams of days gone by, the best days of my life Goodnight, my love, goodnight.... For we were dancing in the midnight sun our love became too wild I loved you like a child The fire went out, went out before dawn and I broke down and cried and I drowned and died |

6. | Planet Kyrah | 03:42 | Show lyrics |
Oh, you changed everything Nothing‘s the same anymore I see colours I‘ve never seen before I hear songs that make my heart sing with joy You set my heart on fire like it never burned before And I‘m sure that up there in the sky shine some new-born stars that were not known until tonight Can you hear me ground-control? I think I‘m lost in space Do you hear me ground-control? An unknown planet appears on my screen.... Never thought I‘d be an astronaut Never thought I‘d leave the earth Never thought I‘d fly so high Break through the sky while you hold me in your embrace And as the air starts getting thin Your lips on mine: exchanging love‘s oxygen And the last call they receive: Our capsule vanishing somewhere behind Andromeda.... We can‘t hear you ground-control! I think we‘re lost in space! We can‘t hear you anymore! An unknown planet appears on our screen.... I‘ll meet you tonight on Planet Kyrah! I‘ll kiss you tonight on Planet Kyrah! |

7. | The Sea | 13:12 | Show lyrics |
Down in the gutter of broken hearts I lie in 8 months time died the love of my life Wounds cut so deep: Will I ever forget that you crept away like a thief in the night? And I‘m standing on top of a mountain Crying bereavement to the stars Will I make my way without you? Will I ever get over you? Oh, this room: it seems so strange now cause your laughter still echoes inside Withered roses will never bloom again Carry my weight: Those memories of you! Once I felt that you loved me These days are over, now we‘re through Our secret garden lost forever I never thought you could be that cruel In cold blood you walked away! I saw a shadow on the shadow of her smile Dream-like strains wake me up at night The memory of her presence faded long ago like a vanished trail of smoke I try in vain to recollect the time of a love that we once shared Fragments of her voice come haunting me at night How I wished I could turn back time Her name once written down in my diary now frozen between the lines Gone like last winters frostwork on the window-pane Will I ever understand? Still there‘s a shadow on the shadow of her smile Gates of time can never be crossed twice The frostwork of our love melted all away but when we die our songs remain! And comes the winter of our lives we‘re trying to keep us warm with the ashes of our fading memories Once frostwork‘s fallen on the ground You can never bring it back It‘s melting without sound Nights are so cold and empty without you Still your scent lingers on in my room Trying to set sails for a new horizon Trying to keep the candle alight! Still I‘m standing on top of the mountain with my soul floating to the stars Songs of love and loss while the night of this new moon does conceal my bleeding heart! No regrets - I won‘t look back in anger Even if it‘s so hard to forget Will I survive yet another dark winter til snow will melt and rivers do flow? And our time did not last forever Though our love it seemed so pure While I face the light of a new day Hope these memories fade away How I wished they‘d fade away! Take me down to the sea Take me to my last resort d‘Amour Take me down to the sea Down there my lover‘s waiting She has come for our last rendez-vous Singing, dancing, dreaming Drowning in the waves of tears that never dry Drowning in the waves of love that never dies |

8. | Our Last Show | 06:07 | Show lyrics |
And the rear lights of your car behind the trees they fade away walking inside somnambular there goes a lovelorn castaway Does it always have to be like this? I’ll never know Was it something that I said? You said: "I gotta go...." While leaving me back here with my memories and my tears You won’t reappear! Staring at the telephone Wondering if I’d try? I never knew that nights could be that long And still I hear your last good-bye Strange people on the screen, they try to make me laugh But everywhere I see your face and the photograph on the wall says that you’re gone And I’m waiting for the sun, keep dreaming on..... No fire in the lighthouse to guide me tonight Don’t know if our planet’s razed torn apart by love’s meteorite I know I will lose you How can I face another daylight? And I know this could ring down the curtain to our last show No second chance for Juliet and her Romeo No applause, no ovations, no bravissimo Please don’t go! |

9. | Forever I Ride | 09:00 | Show lyrics |
As the autumn wind blows hard in crawling devastation I was not prepared to find fate in a state of rage Love once seemed so strong to me, promising salvation another Tragedie d‘amour appearing on life‘s stage And again he hears the raven‘s cry.... I‘m strucked down without warning by your words like cyanide She left me in the morning but forever I will ride And forever I ride... Suddenly I‘m lost inside tremendous aberration Songs that used to make me glad now make me wanna cry Restlessly I‘m walking empty streets up to the station Standing there in silence as the trains keep passing by And he turns his face towards the sky... The stars fade in the dawning, but the door‘s still opened wide And still I am adorning, but forever I will ride And forever I ride.... In love from the first time that I saw you and the fire in your eyes Take me to your sea of flowers Hold me as the wind shakes the rye Lady of the Lake: I long to be with you Burning streams like ours cannot disband The mist it spreads your name in early morning dew Forever shall you be Queen of the Land Incense leaving trails of smoke A vision of us fasting our hands Angels laying siege to my heart and I shall not longer withstand Lady of the Lake: I long to be with you This love of ours will never ever end May the silver moon make all our dreams come true Forever shall you be Queen of the Land Hear the song of the waves Storms calling up thunder and light A premature grave overgrown by black lillies of night Hekate arise! Bring back the love of my life! Rain falls down, it soaks my cloak on this cold grey morning I missed the last train that could have me taken back to you! There‘s no use in staying here waiting for the dawning The fool just saddles up again as if he always knew that again he‘d hear the ravens cry.... |

10. | The Farewell | 04:36 | Show lyrics |
I wanted to live on top of a mountain but it‘s cold and forsaken there without you now I wanted to dive into the ocean of love but I got shipwrecked on the shores of broken dreams For you I sang songs of the nightswan and each line I wrote was a beat of my heart Forever burning on love‘s funeral pyre: Stop beating now, my bleeding heart! For this knife did cut too deep so for the last time I‘m trying not to breathe Once there was a fire in the lighthouse of my heart: I gave you so much more than just my love and you broke so much more than just a promise Our planet vanished so devastatingly amongst the mists of time There was no treasure to be found at Rainbow‘s End somewhere behind Andromeda I‘ve been waiting til the end of december but no more will I ride for the winter solstice‘s child will pass away silently on a midsummer‘s night So may you come now, my Dead Romantic Angel serenade Kyrahnean Hymns to me Hold me in your arms cover me with elder flowers and take me down to my beloved sea I‘m so tired, so tremendously tired Please wait for me under the midnight sun where I will sing and dance again and my laughter will be heard echoing down the hillside again... Oh, how I tried to believe, how I loved, How I tried to hold on to my dream; How I wanted to live - but now I‘m going home to a place where love is more than just a four-letter word and as I kiss the memory of yours goodnight I‘m beginning to see the light... Ich liebe Dich für immer! |

1. | Hole in My Head | 05:39 | Show lyrics |
People who don’t know their names lurking behind window frames Trying to control our lifes Envy, spite and jealousy of all those longing to be free Stabbing them with hideous knives Intolerance and arrogance combined with bloody ignorance Don’t listen to a single word Tired of their stupid lies Trickery and alibis Their issues are just too absurd Don’t you tell me not to grind But I’m blinded by the thickness of mankind I got a hole in my head Seems like we’re better off dead We gotta find a solution For this bitter contribution Things are getting serious small minds become delirious Don’t they see it’s so insane All obsessed with hate and war what else they think’s worth fighting for Peek-A-Booh: A madman’s game! Pied piper’s waiting at the door to tell them they’re superior Dancing to his lethal tune Oh, the crown of evolution needs some kind of revolution otherwise it’s over soon So you tell me not to blow my fuse But I’m quite aware of your abuse I got a hole in my head Seems like we’re better off dead We gotta find a solution For this bitter contribution Find shelter in my arms tonight There’s only you and me and everything’s allright If there’s just one thing that’s true then it’s my love for you I’ll never let you go And I don’t care what they say As long as you stay in our love’s afterglow Still you believe it’ll work out fine While heading for the ultimate deadline I got a hole in my head Seems like we’re better off dead We gotta find a solution For this bitter contribution |

2. | Carry Me Down | 06:09 | Show lyrics |
By the ocean I sat down one day Saw my life the other way All those trials to no avail Broken dreams was all I gained Well, when I was a child They promised me a paradise Promises turned into lies leaving us a world demise! Way down, carry me down to the ocean of love I asked for love, a golden cage No emotions in this age The pain I felt it wasn’t real "The Earth!", I cried: My last appeal! It’s my turn to realize To change the road, change the side Past has gone, rest in peace Goddess sows the seed Way down.... Hold me in your arms Drown me in sweet moisture Lascivious fiery breath overflow.... Your fangs softly penetrate the pleasure and the pain Dissolving I discern: Im alive! In dreams I died a thousand times Then one dream: A golden shrine Whispered words soothed my grief Candour in a world of thieves The call of the roaring sea Fire burn inside of me Wind take me to her shore The Earth I am, for evermore! Way down..... I asked for love, a golden cage No emotions in this age The pain I felt it wasn’t real The Earth!, I cried: My last appeal! It’s my turn to realize To change the road, change the side Past has gone, rest in peace Goddess sows the seed Way down.... Hold me in your arms Drown me in sweet moisture Lascivious fiery breath covering.... Your fangs softly penetrate the pleasure and the pain Dissolving I discern: Im alive! A midnight’s dream disclosure saw momentous desire My life layed in your hands, My confidence.... The background of reality just one step away Am I to cross the frontier? Am I to dare? By the ocean I sat down one day Saw my life the other way All those trials to no avail Broken dreams was all I gained Well, when I was a child They promised me a paradise Promises turned into lies leaving us a world demise! Way down... In dreams I died a thousand times Then one dream: A golden shrine Whispered words soothed my grief Candour in a world of thieves The call of the roaring sea Fire burn inside of me Wind take me to her shore The Earth I am, for evermore! Way down... Alone again I cried amongst the debris of a dream I had to face once more the madness of love But now that my Angel received my yearning call her enchanting song will make my heart dance! |

3. | We Are the Witches | 08:55 | Show lyrics |
A gathering at night A knock-knock on the door Dressed in a red cloak Her eyes gleaming with delight The moment she’s been waiting for finally arrived Sister’s waiting for her While the stars are shining bright Incubus and succubus The evil foe has cursed on us The Demons rise on Hallowmass Oh, this devilishness... A plague came over us again striking down my fellow-men The priest became a scatterbrain My word for it, Mister! The churchyard it came tumbling down The king of kings: A brainless clown The prior stuck in the eiderdown and I had to witness! The piper played a dancing tune and all came out on Harvest Moon Altars staying unillumed and women sinister! Now she’s awake Dancing in the firelight The dragon’s call resounds The serpent’s kiss ignites The fire of love The dawning of a new day Oh, sister of the night You’re the light of the world Spellbound they’re screaming in the street How could we fall? Oh, this defeat... The ruthless on the losing streak We are so wasted! So stupid that we did not see How all those things should really be The eyesore of humanity a flawed mastermind! What once seemed apprehensible has turned into dispensible because of being nonsensical We should have been basted! But now we’ve come to realize the senselessness of alibis and squander of self-sacrifice so deaf, dull and blind! We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the weavers, we are the web We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the witches back from the dead See me, I am life and it’s your birthright to walk proud and strong Come dance with the tide We’ve been there before And we shall return for now and evermore now and evermore... We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the weavers, we are the web We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the witches back from the dead Up on the hill she peers down by the sea she waits Her sisters gathering by her side until disturbance dies It was another case of self-fulfilling prophecy Those faithful believers submerging in their agony Did they really think their deeds justified abysmal greed ignoring all the human needs A ploy of indulgence! Insane with egomania vampires from Transylvania spiritual pyromania ashes to ashes... Obsessed with their morbidity the morons of stupidity caused nothing but sheer faggery A lack of common sense! Their madness turned to matricide religious sort of cyanide We salute your suicide: Your kingdom crashes! We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the weavers, we are the web We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the witches back from the dead We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the weavers, we are the web We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the witches back from the dead |

Longing for the one Who’s gotta be out there somewhere Far in Avalon Where are you that for I dare? Scratching at doors of hearts Not even close to what I wish Too many times torn apart Like it’s so womanish Waiting for the one and only soulmate A life of love to create Thousands of years ago You were made for me, you know No damn understanding Could you save me from this harm? Sadness’ so demanding All my soul set on alarm Running over quicksand Followed by the evil-eyed But no chance for wasteland When our stars collide! Waiting for the one and only soulmate A life of love to create Thousands of years ago You were made for me, you know Wasteland Only one key to leave the wasteland Wasteland Only one key to leave the wasteland |

5. | Like the Stars | 07:56 | Show lyrics |
So it was late that thursday night you were coming around His words a thorn in your flesh, your head a merry-go-round We were talking side by side about the things that come and done and you began to realize that he was always on the run In this black bedsit of yours, well it occured to me that I’ve known you for years, not just momentarily And when you said you were tired, and your eyes filled with tears I looked straight into your heart but where do we go from here? And as we were stepping out After midnight The silver lining of a cloud Under starlight For once again I felt alive Will you stay with me tonight? Tonight we’re falling like the stars When ever we fade, where ever we are I spend my last flare up on you Until these dreams of ours come true Midnight burning blue.... From the shore the ice cold wind blew hard into my face rain was beating down, the past beginning to unlace Inside my soul it felt warm, though the night was wet and cold And as the storm arose I dreamt of being with you so close I didn’t know what you would do but I believed your aim was true from the look in your face - some kind of strange witches’ brew Waiting, anticipating your return Our love feels so strong and in this fire we will burn A butterfly, fragile and cold The breath of love His wings beginning to unfold Came from above This time I know it is for real Let’s touch the skies tonight! Tonight we’re falling like the stars When ever we fade, where ever we are I spend my last flare up on you Until these dreams of ours come true Midnight burning blue.... My Love, Angel and Light of my life I will stay forever by your side Come to me when nights are getting cold I’ll be there for you to hold and Dive with me into the sea Drown me in the water of love Sail with me between the stars And love me, love me, love me till the end... And as we were stepping out After midnight The silver lining of a cloud Under starlight For once again I felt alive Will you stay with me - eternally? Tonight we’re falling like the stars When ever we fade, where ever we are I spend my last flare up on you Until these dreams of ours come true Midnight burning blue.... |

"Where do I go from here?" I inquired For I could not longer tell the way This bane did leave me overtired Got punctured by preposterous ricochet A camouflage of lack of faith: The order of the senseless strikes again! Words were spoken, lies were told My broken bones displayed in acid rain Mission terminated while you wait Her flowers burning in a blaze of rage Another cardboard-box that stays unlaid I’ve had enough; I quit No, I won’t give a damn no more! As autumn leaves do fall Anticipating rime to freeze my core Walking in the footsteps of the night lost like a voiceless troubadour Behold the yearning of your heart obtaining my love in a trice Come dry your tears: Our lifes’ about to start at the gates of Paradise! Paint the sky with stars and let us ride Every raindrop floats my love to you Soaking wet but feeling warm inside The sunlight radiates on mountain dew For a moment I perceive A flying visit of days gone by And looking back I can’t believe There had been times I wished I would die! Evening sun sets the lake on fire Dragonflies are hanging in the air From afar the chanting of white friars The altar of our love is everywhere! Hold me in your arms tonight Promise me you’ll never let me go! Take my hand, we’re out of sight Escaping from this world’s seraglio... Behold the yearning of your heart obtaining my love in a trice Come dry your tears: Our life’s about to start at the gates of Paradise! |

And still the seagulls fly under a leaden sky As if nothing had changed and my life was still the same No longer here with me I watch the roaring sea I think of times gone by and how we used to laugh and cry Now on my own again A lonesome highway man throwing stones against the waves of time and cursing auld lang syne But once the sun did shine upon the mountain thyme The wind caressed your hair and there was magic everywhere Then rain came falling down and the red-painted town lost its colour and went grey the day you went away Something inside calls me tonight out on these bare hills again Something inside Wish I could hide from the pain A lonely seagull flies as sunset sets the skies on fire but I don’t care no more since my love went sore If I had wings to fly I guess that I would try flying faster than the speed of light to leave all this behind What have I become? Now the broken one running through the night just tryin’ to keep the flame alight Oh, gaels come carry me far across the sea where the angels lie amongst the placid fields of rye Something inside calls me tonight out on these bare hills again Something inside Wish I could hide from the pain L’amore mia sempre e´ con te Nostra eternita´ Lei ci guardera´ But once the sun did shine upon the mountain thyme The wind caressed your hair and there was magic everywhere Then rain came falling down and the red-painted town lost its colour and went grey the day you went away Something inside calls me tonight out on these bare hills again Something inside Wish I could hide from the pain |

See the girl on the floor as she’s watching the rain Like sallow tracks of blood running down Scattered over the floor the sheets painted in black Showing a fettered, mouthless child Her mother’s gone shopping and she prays for her daddy not to come home But for Jane’s prayers no god gives a damn: Her daddy is back to play with Jane! She closes her eyes to break away from the girl lying raped and abused on the ground No use to commit herself to anyone for who’d believe Jane? She feels hate for being treated that way: Is it her fault daddy’s playing these games? She tries in vain to think of something she might have done wrong See the girl on the floor: She can’t bear it no more Lewdy hands defiling her skin A life like that means not much to Jane: The belt round her neck gently takes her away He’s closing the door for she seems asleep Those sickening games won’t be played any more! No-one could explain what happened to Jane: She was only one in a million girls... Goodbye to Jane Goodbye to Jane Goodbye to Jane |

1. | How Can I Live on Top of the Mountain? | 04:56 | Show lyrics |
And as I walked through the garden of love. I passed the gates of paradise and the gates of perdition: Maybe the saddest experience of all is that even the most wonderful and precious moments don’t last forever and appear like a dream that faded much too soon when looking back. But both darkness and light are given to us to make us prospect and grow: like every living being needs the interplay of daylight’s sweet kiss and night’s gentle embrace. And as darkness falls while I’m drifting away on the river of sadness, the remembrance of love’s golden sunlight is my only supply of logs for the cold and lonely winter of the soul. This album is a tribute to a love that was so beautiful as long as it lasted and so bitter when it ended: hence both love’s heavenly bliss as well as bereavement’s abysmal despair are to be found amongst these 10 songs; songs that are like sears to me no w... But still the dream remains, and yet my love has not withered nor have my songs faded away: Though Moonshadow died in the devastation of declining Planet Kyrah. Sid survived - but for how much longer? Goodnight - and may the Goddess bless you all! ["When I’m dead, my Dearest, sing no sad songs for me, plant thou no roses at my head, nor shady cypress tree: Be the green grass above me with showers and dewdrops wet; and if thou wilt, remember, and if thou wilt, forget". Christina Rossetti (1830-1894)] |

Linger on, oh waning moon This midnight hour has come much too soon By the crystal lake we stand With our names in the sand Believe me, my Love I will wait for you And I will return If you still want me, too With the song of the nightswan And I’ll be in heaven The lark heralds the break of day No longer by my side can you stay In shrouded mists you disappear Like a ghost bayadere Where are you, my Love? I’m calling your name This spell can be broke Love‘s ignited the flame Like the song of the nightswan And I’ll be in heaven Oh, believe me, my Love I will stand, laying siege to this fortress of time With the glory of you in my heart Charge before the sun touches the rime The Beltane fires upon the hill Your hand in mine by the old water-mill Fairies sing our wedding song Now the moon lingers on Stay with me, my Love My Angel, my Life We walked this dark maze So now we will fly On the wings of the nightswan And we’ll be in heaven |

Farewell, pretty one: It‘s all over now you‘ve gone After all that we went through, you left me when I needed you The times we shared, the good and bad, were the best I‘ve ever had, the best years of my life.... Farewell, pretty one: I‘ve put all my faith in you and I can‘t understand: Did you lie on that night you said you‘d never let me go? Oh, I believed each word you‘ve said I believed until the end It‘s so hard to realize you never wanted me that close by your side And the snow falls back in time down the hillside on our sledge we‘d ride We were laughing in the january sun And for a moment time stood still as we rode on and on and on.... Still the snow falls on Yule-tide falls forever on that dreary mountainside And the ghost of our love stands right above: A monument of your smile And our laughter that died so long ago lingers on and on and on... Never will I forget our last winter Never will I forget the last winter of our love! Goodbye, pretty one: You broke my heart twice, now I‘m done! You left me like a dream at the break of dawn and I almost died And even if you‘re lying now in someone else‘s arms I‘m still with you in a dream, in dreams of days gone by, the best days of my life Goodnight, my love, goodnight.... For we were dancing in the midnight sun our love became too wild I loved you like a child The fire went out, went out before dawn and I broke down and cried and I drowned and died |

By the ocean I sat down one day Saw my life the other way All those trials to no avail Broken dreams was all I bloody gained Remember well when I was a child They promised me a paradise But promises turned into lies leaving us a world demise! Hold me in your arms Drown me in sweet moisture Lascivious fiery breath covering.... Your fangs softly penetrate the pleasure and the pain Dissolving I discern: Im not dead! I asked for love, got a golden cage Plastic emotions in a plastic age The pain I felt they told me wasn‘t real „The Earth!“, I cried: My last appeal! Now it‘s my turn to realize To change the road, to change the side The past has gone, may it rest in peace A new dawn fades as She sows the seed Hold me in your arms Drown me in sweet moisture Lascivious fiery breath overflow.... Your fangs softly penetrate the pleasure and the pain Dissolving I discern: Im alive! A midnight‘s dream disclosure saw momentous desire My life layed in your hands, My confidence.... The background of reality just one step away Am I to cross the frontier? Am I to dare? In dreams I died a thousand times But then one dream: A golden shrine Her whispered words did soothe my grief What a candour in this world of thieves I hear the call of the roaring sea Still a fire‘s burning inside of me The wind shall take me to another shore The Earth I am, for evermore! Way down, carry me down to the ocean of love! Alone again I stand amongst the debris of a dream having to face once more the madness of love But I know that the Goddess will hear my yearning call and her enchanting song will make my heart dance |

Oh, you changed everything Nothing‘s the same anymore I see colours I‘ve never seen before I hear songs that make my heart sing with joy You set my heart on fire like it never burned before And I‘m sure that up there in the sky shine some new-born stars that were not known until tonight Can you hear me ground-control? I think I‘m lost in space Do you hear me ground-control? An unknown planet appears on my screen.... Never thought I‘d be an astronaut Never thought I‘d leave the earth Never thought I‘d fly so high Break through the sky while you hold me in your embrace And as the air starts getting thin Your lips on mine: exchanging love‘s oxygen And the last call they receive: Our capsule vanishing somewhere behind Andromeda.... We can‘t hear you ground-control! I think we‘re lost in space! We can‘t hear you anymore! An unknown planet appears on our screen.... I‘ll meet you tonight on Planet Kyrah! I‘ll kiss you tonight on Planet Kyrah! |

8. | End of December | 08:30 | Show lyrics |
Now I guess there‘s something wrong: All stars fall down the story ends Maybe there‘ll be another song Though nothing‘s left but somnolence And I‘m so tired and worn out Sometimes I feel like Hawkeye Pierce I try to laugh among the tears How I‘m trying not to think of you night and day But with each breath your last words come my way Will I ever trust in anyone again? Some say treasures are hidden behind sorrow and pain You made me tumble made me fall And though I seem to understand I crash my head against the wall How could this vow of yours disband? And how much longer will I stand Lying awake in sleepless nights I wish I could replace my mind... But it won‘t last forever So my friends do say Step by step I‘m getting by And though sometimes my heart still sticks to yesterday I hold on to my dream and I‘ll be riding again You don‘t want me anymore So I walk out of your door I don‘t want to hear one more pathetic excuse You didn‘t give me just one chance I should have known by clairvoyance From the first time you didn‘t wear the ring anymore Good luck to you So long, Farewell, Goodbye I won‘t come back again You were not the one I searched for But I know I will find her Til the end of December I‘ll be waitng for you And I cannot longer stay here Amongst your broken promises Another planet‘s calling I‘ll be gone with the rain Til the end of December I‘ll be waiting for you And I got strength to endure Til the end of December All the love that I have will show me the way Til the end of December Til my heart beats again I know I‘ll obtain Til the end of December I‘ll be waiting for you |

9. | The Sea | 09:15 | Show lyrics |
Down in the gutter of broken hearts I lie in 8 months time died the love of my life Wounds cut so deep: Will I ever forget that you crept away like a thief in the night? And I‘m standing on top of a mountain Crying bereavement to the stars Will I make my way without you? Will I ever get over you? Oh, this room: it seems so strange now cause your laughter still echoes inside Withered roses will never bloom again Carry my weight: Those memories of you! Once I felt that you loved me These days are over, now we‘re through Our secret garden lost forever I never thought you could be that cruel In cold blood you walked away! I saw a shadow on the shadow of her smile Dream-like strains wake me up at night The memory of her presence faded long ago like a vanished trail of smoke I try in vain to recollect the time of a love that we once shared Fragments of her voice come haunting me at night How I wished I could turn back time Her name once written down in my diary now frozen between the lines Gone like last winters frostwork on the window-pane Will I ever understand? Still there‘s a shadow on the shadow of her smile Gates of time can never be crossed twice The frostwork of our love melted all away but when we die our songs remain! And comes the winter of our lives we‘re trying to keep us warm with the ashes of our fading memories Once frostwork‘s fallen on the ground You can never bring it back It‘s melting without sound Nights are so cold and empty without you Still your scent lingers on in my room Trying to set sails for a new horizon Trying to keep the candle alight! Still I‘m standing on top of the mountain with my soul floating to the stars Songs of love and loss while the night of this new moon does conceal my bleeding heart! No regrets - I won‘t look back in anger Even if it‘s so hard to forget Will I survive yet another dark winter til snow will melt and rivers do flow? And our time did not last forever Though our love it seemed so pure While I face the light of a new day Hope these memories fade away How I wished they‘d fade away! Take me down to the sea Take me to my last resort d‘Amour Take me down to the sea Down there my lover‘s waiting She has come for our last rendez-vous Singing, dancing, dreaming Drowning in the waves of tears that never dry Drowning in the waves of love that never dies |

10. | Trying Not to Breathe | 09:21 | Show lyrics |
Oh, this void inside tears my soul apart Why did you lie? I lost my faith in you! Once there was purity but now only perfidy and pain because you‘ve been untrue! You broke all promises and now our love is bound to die and so am I - I die! Lost forever within the debris of my dreams I put my trust in you! How could you leave me in a lurch after all that I‘ve gone through What the hell did you do? Down on my knees I pray: „Save me, save me, save me, please!“ but no hope anymore - I die! I‘m trying not to breathe! I can‘t stand this anymore therefore I‘ll leave I‘m trying not to breathe! And so I‘ll leave this world behind broken by faithlessness of the killing kind I‘m trying not to breathe! Remember when you called my name? I‘ve been always there for you! To me it‘s more than just a game I loved you too much, and still I do! Now your body‘s so close to mine I kiss your lips goodbye To lie in your arms for a last time before I die! And he dreams of days gone by Floating down to the other side A thousand Angels cry Firing squad against the walls of light Not again another day Now his love has lost the last stand Oh Angels, hear him pray As he‘s passing away into her hands! I‘m trying not to breathe! I can‘t stand your loss, your lies; therefore I‘ll leave I‘m trying not to breathe! and so I try to leave the pain behind of treason that became the killing kind I‘m trying not to breathe! But you swore you‘d love me forever and it was only yesterday What have I done to deserve this Am I destiny‘s fool? And I hate you, and I love you for what you‘ve done to me Oh shit, why did you leave me in such despair? I‘m trying not to breathe though I try so hard to reach the other side I‘m trying not to breathe No more songs for me to sing because you leave Now I think I see the light: Goodbye, my love! Oh, I‘m trying not to breathe |

11. | The Farewell | 05:43 | Show lyrics |
I wanted to live on top of a mountain but it‘s cold and forsaken there without you now I wanted to dive into the ocean of love but I got shipwrecked on the shores of broken dreams For you I sang songs of the nightswan and each line I wrote was a beat of my heart Forever burning on love‘s funeral pyre: Stop beating now, my bleeding heart! For this knife did cut too deep so for the last time I‘m trying not to breathe Once there was a fire in the lighthouse of my heart: I gave you so much more than just my love and you broke so much more than just a promise Our planet vanished so devastatingly amongst the mists of time There was no treasure to be found at Rainbow‘s End somewhere behind Andromeda I‘ve been waiting til the end of december but no more will I ride for the winter solstice‘s child will pass away silently on a midsummer‘s night So may you come now, my Dead Romantic Angel serenade Kyrahnean Hymns to me Hold me in your arms cover me with elder flowers and take me down to my beloved sea I‘m so tired, so tremendously tired Please wait for me under the midnight sun where I will sing and dance again and my laughter will be heard echoing down the hillside again... Oh, how I tried to believe, how I loved, How I tried to hold on to my dream; How I wanted to live - but now I‘m going home to a place where love is more than just a four-letter word and as I kiss the memory of yours goodnight I‘m beginning to see the light... Ich liebe Dich für immer! |

1. | Here Comes the Night | 04:11 | Show lyrics |
When the moon kissed the silent lake The nightwind called us A place too crowded, much too full and loud We better leave now I saw you standing in the lamplight forlorn We gotta get away Desolation is the price they’ll pay Now that we’re on our own They predicted our future but they turned heaven into hell in no time by giving us the heebie-jeebies while they’re driving with full headlight Here comes the night (for running away) We won’t get another chance (for running away) It’s too late to hide (for running away) Everybody’s on the run (out of our way) Warning Sign - fading into the night Children starving in their mother’s arms while the disciples pray in the church of economic growth But now their god is dead Cars are crashing, people screaming blue murder leaders go insane The light of hope now a black hole sun A flashing ray that burns All we have is each other, baby We hold and kiss as the rain falls down Smile for me one last time, my darling You will meet me on the other side Here comes the night (for running away) We won’t get another chance (for running away) It’s too late to hide (for running away) Everybody’s on the run (out of our way) Here comes the night (for running away) We won’t get another chance (for running away) It’s too late to hide (for running away) Everybody’s on the run (out of our way) Warning Sign - fading into the night |

Same old stories and the same old song I’ve been living here for much too long Small town small minds it’s all so bloody daunting Sitting round with nothing to do watching stupid movies chinese kung fu Bruce Lee, Zombie Trash, forget your dream-hunting Down on main street there’s a danger sign saying “Caution: Dead End Street lies just straight ahead” Bored teenagers meet each night at nine getting soused, pale faces like they’re back from the dead I’ll be leaving on a night train Yeah, there’s gotta be a better place Don’t wanna be a basket case No, oh no… I’ll be leaving on a night train I don’t care and I won’t turn around Yeah, I’m gonna break new ground Hooray, I’m northern bound Out of this town right now Leave on a night train now Out of this town right now Leave on a night train now School work death — nothing else to do just do the things they expect from you but deep inside you know there’s gotta be a better life somewhere, someplace else Snow’s falling and my bags are packed I’m gonna leave tonight, well that’s a fact Cause I ain’t gonna wait til the best days of my life have been washed out And I’m walking down main street for one last time with its houses that look to me like a scene-of-crime I’ll be trading this life for a real big time but I don’t know where I’m gonna wake up at dawn I’ll be leaving on a night train Yeah, there’s gotta a better place Don’t wanna be a basket case No, oh no… I’ll be leaving on a night train I don’t care and I won’t turn around because I’m gonna break new ground No looking back, I’m northern bound Out of this town right now Leave on a night train now Out of this town right now Leave on a night train now |

Sweet Magnolia his things are scattered everywhere Your prince charming so fuckin’ poised, so debonair The telephone it rings and rings but no one’s there I ran away I ran away I ran away Once I promised you my love but that was not enough Tonight down by the street He’s waiting patiently Wish I’d still love you but I don’t you turned my heart to stone and though I hate to go It’s only tears you know Your ocean’s too wide I’m drowning here tonight we’re floating in a darkness where the cold begins to bite There will be no tomorrow no turning of the tide a deep blue sea keeps calling submerging open-eyed She’s calling me her flowers washed down by the rain "I’ll wait for thee" no sleep, no rest, no longer sane but don’t you feel the loss, the pain: it’s so inane No longer mine No longer mine No longer mine I’m so confused, I can’t recall Where did we stumble, did we fall? I’m frightened and I cry cause our love has died tonight You’re lost and now you crawl with your back against the wall Why did you leave me? Why did you leave me? Your ocean’s too wide I’m drowning here tonight we’re floating in a darkness where the cold begins to bite There will be no tomorrow no turning of the tide a deep blue sea keeps calling submerging open-eyed |

Somebody’s walking the dog like before The kids outside at the bus stop like in days of yore A young guy’s pulling the cigarette machine Out there it’s business as usual but here just died a dream Somebody’s ringing at the door Love doesn’t live here any more... The rooms are empty and I’m on my own reading your letter the third time turns my heart to stone The wind’s not sounding your chimes anymore I left my keys on the sill cause I won’t return no more Goodbye my love, I am leaving It’s gettin’ cold in the evening Oh, the fire it went out it went out so long Oh, I never saw no cloud Coming up along So the fire it went out It went out so long A long time a go And I didn’t know No afterglow so much for our last show Was it all just lie? Until we die? Was it all just a lie? Kinda trick of the light? An illusion divine? The last test of time? |

He waited all these years Lived in dreams and fears Hoping for a change that never comes Mirror, mirror on the wall He’d seen nothing at all An emptiness inside banged the drums Like a snake shedding its skin wondering what and where I’ve been I was lost among some scriptures written in sand Searching for the sun Not knowing what he’d done A roly-poly toy from pain to joy A voice inside his head the last words have been said He set his sails but never found no Helen of Troy The bonds that didn’t last turned into ghosts of christmas past Until the day I woke up to myself again Tell me, tell me who you are You’re only human You’re not a superstar Tell me, tell me who you are No more running away from the way you are Tell me, tell me who you are You’re only human You’re not a superstar You gotta tell me, tell me who you are Outside - Inside Inside - Outside |

6. | Have You Been Loved? | 04:30 | Show lyrics |
Sure you’ve come a long way From the backstage of the past Till you found out one day All their assertions just didn’t last Their actions spoke louder than their words Your dreams and needs seemed so absurd Too entangled to see what you went through Have you been loved Like you need it? Have you been loved Like you deserve it? The way you look tonight With this sadness in your eyes I wish I could turn back the hands Of time and make them look at you The way that I see you The beauty and love that you shines in your heart Yesterday’s ghosts sometimes still haunt you But your spirit keeps up the fight So brave, so strong - it’s no wonder That you made it through your childhood nights Now I’m here to stay with you And whatever you’re going through Even if some tears should fall I’ll be there whenever you call The past has gone now, my love You’re walking away from what they’ve done and together we’re facing a new morning sun Have you been loved... |

7. | The Point of No Return | 08:31 | Show lyrics |
Up on the balcony I watched you walk away but I couldn’t see That this parting kiss was forever Oh come back to me Yet another summer without you Soon fall will be there But comes winter I guess I’ll be over in Cornwall somewhere I try walking in our footsteps These days passing in a time lapse I went through anger, hate and frustration searching for some kind of revocation We couldn’t fail? How did it happen? For a dare? Everything’s shattered Darkness embrace me I’m misplaced here This is the wrong score Stranded on a strange shore The way we were Our hearts were beating together til something occured Now you’re up there somewhere in Scotland I’m left in midair Guess I’m waiting for your return eternally But comes the end of December Let it rain down on me What have we found? Just a rebound Was it worth the price we paid? What have we gained after these strains? Remember Penzance Promenade? What’s the truth? The importance of who’s right or wrong I don’t care We’ve been fooling around for too long Much too long, my Love The point of no return on our way home Each day my heart is gettin’ colder The burden’s heavy on my shoulder Over and over I see the same scene Trapped in a nightmare not just a bad dream Couldn’t run coz I was petrified Tried to swallow my foolish pride Cities lost forever so it seems Missing you so much it makes me wanna scream Last night I had a dream Me flying high above the sea in the sky With my arms wide open dazzling clouds passing by And the mermaids’ song guiding me on my way To the coastline with its white cliffs of chalk and clay I’m trying hard to keep my eyes shut The things I see they are not clear-cut Tryin’ to get you out of my mind Fuck off, you left me behind This time there’ll be no substitution Just like with former dissolutions Occupying my heart Now pack your things and run Because everything’s said and done A saturday back in September The golden sunlight in your eyes This day I always will remember You were the fairest of all brides The sun has gone, We’re on our own Our paradise a fragile dream A void is calling and I’m falling Into time’s adamant stream Called your name into the night but you’re gone All forgone Not a flame will arise from the embers at dawn No more dawn, my Love The point of no return on our way home Come to me across the sea |

Like the lark in the morning breeze you fly with the clouds in the sky Like the waves rolling in on the shore from days of yore You walk amongst stars that are shining like the light in your eyes Crowned by sundown and dressed in the light of the moon Glittering rainbows A warmth like the scent of the trees your song that travels through time comes like spring rain to me Your brown eyes they shine When you smile at me Your brown eyes they shine with all the love that I see All the trials of the past all the hurt you went through Made yourself only stronger Now look at you! Your silhouette revealing itself sets heavens afire The wind keeps caressing your hair as we’re leaving the fair When nightfall is turning our world in a void out of sight You’ll be chasing the last rays of light with your heart opened wide You’re walking this earth with a passion so fervently Enchanting my heart and my soul you’re a mystery to me Your brown eyes they shine When you smile at me Your brown eyes they shine with all the love that I see See your beauty unequaled A fire I desire You’re everything to me My love, my life and my light Your brown eyes they shine When you smile at me Your brown eyes they shine with all the love that I see Oh, how they shine Oh, they shine... |

Just before the rain would fall I know that we’ve said it all We talked and talked the hours were passing by but then you went home And by the river I sat I was thinking of you How could I know that this time it’s true? You dance with the Moon and the Stars We walk between Venus and Mars I travel from midnight to noon to be with you, my love, soon We’re creatures of a jade lagoon And when I walked home that night alone the wind whispering softly our fate’s still unknown Under the streetlight I smelled your perfume just for a second Oh how I wished you could stay just for a while to come up to my room and make me smile You dance with the Moon and the Stars We walk between Venus and Mars I travel from midnight to noon to be with you, my love, soon We’re creatures of a jade lagoon And we danced Kissed the sun and the moon |

You’re still alive, but older Now the nights are gettin’ colder The jukebox in the corner still plays the same old song You’ve had enough of cryin’ The game’s up, love’s been dying Too many times you’ve tried once more you’re proven wrong Observing all the rules broken careless just by fools but still love’s so much more than a transient caprice so hold on to your dreams Cause love’s an endless flow that leaves no afterglow to the beauty of our life far away where passion’s rife Come stay with me tonight let us keep the flame alight Til the morning goes to show I’ll never let you go... She might come like a shower or in the wee small hours Just wait until you’ve seen the final curtain fall No, it’s not an illusion in spite of your confusion your heart’s still beatin’ and one day you’ll hear the call They’re playing different games simply interchanging names But they will never find what you bear in your mind (so hold on to your dreams) Cause love’s an endless flow that leaves no afterglow to the beauty of our life far away where passion’s rife Come stay with me tonight let us keep the flame alight Til the morning goes to show I’ll never let you go |

Once I dreamt to be home again even for just now and then while the rain fell down waiting for a ray of light A cold wind’s blowing night jessamine and heather feels like your velvet skin You’re embodied in the gale that reaches our shore At eventide we’re getting to the core I see the wilderness and storms in your eyes And you’ve changed my life with your red-hot fire you’re my adrenalin Like a burning sky you can take me higher you’re my adrenalin I see a brand new dawn Yesterday is gone Yes, I’m remembering And if the stars should fall I wouldn’t care at all You’re my adrenalin Your candle burns in the deep dark night We’re walking through the gardens of delight while this world outside lies quiet and the things we do feel oh so right You touch me skin make me shivering breathe down your neck raising trembling and we’re entangled in lust the wages of our sin And we’re drowning getting down, we’re burning bright We’re like two shining spirits in the night And you’ve changed my life with your red-hot fire you’re my adrenalin Like a burning sky you can take me high you’re my adrenalin I see a brand new dawn Yesterday is gone Yes, I’m remembering And if the stars should fall I wouldn’t care at all You’re my adrenalin And we take refuge with the dawning of the day and the morning sun shines in your eyes Oh, you’ve changed my life with your red-hot fire you’re my adrenalin Like a burning sky you can take me high you’re my adrenalin I see a brand new dawn Yesterday is gone I’m remembering And if the stars should fall I wouldn’t care at all You’re my adrenalin Oh you changed my life with your red-hot fire you’re my adrenalin Like a flaming sun you got me on the run you’re my adrenalin We see a brand new dawn days of yore have gone Yes, we’re remembering Till the end of time you’re my perfect rhyme You’re my adrenalin |

12. | Walking with Angels | 04:41 | Show lyrics |
Too many bad days So many sad ways This house was not a home Trying not to surrender Sometimes she remembers How she’s walking all alone Classroom daydreaming Words without meaning Salad days just passing by But a heart full of sorrow Hopes for tomorrow It’s a case of do or die Hiding inside Preparing for fight Now that she called a spade a spade Detecting the lies with innocent eyes Waiting for something in the night She’s walking with Angels Dancing in rainbows Talking to the wind, the clouds and the rain She’s fighting the demons Waiting for nighttime When the world around her lies quiet Don’t you ever walk away These sides they were choosing Were just too confusing But her dreams they never died One summer in Norway She did it her way Turned into a rider in the sky Sit down here beside me The way that it should be I know it is not easy being free But the rain will stop falling And angels are calling For you to fly across the sea Pushing your barrow for too many years So steep the path but still you tried to hide the tears You’ve had enough of their truth turning into lies You look through them with your all-detecting eyes What if this town was built of ruins of the past? What if these solid walls someday came down? But now you’ve found a way to turn things around they didn’t notice cause you’ve left without a sound She’s walking with Angels Dancing in rainbows Talking to the wind, the clouds and the rain She’s fighting the demons Waiting for nighttime When the world around her lies quiet No, she’ll never walk away Forever she will stay It’s not easy being free Talking with the wind, the clouds and the rain |

We are stars Being watched from the gutter This is our seedtime Into light Through the darkness of Ulthar We are crossing the line Saw your strange breed Far from a distance Veiled by black night Cold wind’s blowing Sunset’s fading For ravenous parasites Still we stand In silence we’re waiting For the Fates to decide For the last time You’ve missed your chances Are you ready to die? Cause we’re crossing the line Crossing the line All your warlords Prophets and masters Paved the way to decline With their lies, greed And egomania Have they fooled you each time Just a few Had the courage to fight for What was worth to defend But you laughed at them Making them martyrs Facing such bitter ends Still we stand Anxiously waiting Their sentence is passed We’re releasing The Hounds of Damnation Armageddon divine As we’re crossing the line Crossing the line And the Angels came down from heaven Clothed in clouds and rainbows crowned their heads And their faces were like a myriad of suns And their feet like pillars of fire And they cried with one voice, And seven legions uttered their voices. And the angels lifted up their swords to heaven And sware by her That liveth for ever and ever That there should be time no longer We’re the stars That will never be looked at By human eyes any more Now the Earth A Garden of Eden Won’t have to suffer no more Hear the birds sing their beautiful farewell To the Angels of Doom Riding back with the souls of those who loved They’ll find a new home Still we stand In silence we’re waiting Cause the Fates stll decide For all creatures grandeur and freedom We’re defending the line Defending the line |

As I’m walking down yesteryear’s lane past the houses and homes of my life deserted and empty no lights in the windows at night it’s all quiet I’ve been searching in all of these rooms rattling at closed doors and cryin’ but those years have been fading in time like a book that’s been never read twice Goddamn I haven’t seen before call me stupid, call me blind a prospect of what might have been unnervingly entering my mind Listening to Bruce all night long as he’s driving away in a stolen car down the road riding by night down the highways and byways of time Strange but I seem to be back again from these restless years Sure it comes as a surprise but I’m still here More different than I thought I am no more prey to blind fear I’m back again no more being departed, my friend Wondering why everyone just walked away left all fucked up one fine day acting in very strange ways I couldn’t find the right words to say But now I see it was all just my fault every romance comes to a grinding halt when you lose yourself in someone else instead of cutting your own path, my friend Rewrite the story of my life Forgive and forget if you can No more dyin’ for you under your balcony blue been there, done that several times Yes, I can live on top of the mountain It’s not cold and forsaken at all there with you Me and you Yes we’ve opened the door to a new world Strange but I seem to be back again from these restless years Sure it comes as a surprise but I’m still here More different than I thought I am no more prey to blind fear I’m back again no more being departed, my friend Strange but I seem to be back again from these restless years Sure it comes as a surprise Stay here, stay near Stronger than I thought I am forget about the tears I’m back again no more being departed, my friend |

[Jehovah:] Read in my book of lies of atrocities, blood and sacrifice! My temples erected in gold and bone The stupid sheep turn theis head to the blind! [Priestess:] And comes the winter of your life The king of kings - left to your own device The ones who thought to walk in light will freeze to death in the endless night! [The Angels:] The Goddess of the Night comes! 3 curses to the holy throne! No regrets! It’s too late! The Goddess of the Night comes! Will ask for what have you done! The father, holy ghost and son! No remand... [The Witch:] The sisters murdered king long ago still sing their songs in my heart The tunes, the pipes, the words, the rhymes Still call me through the times! [Jehovah:] Your senseless prayers I never hear The sign of the cross in praise of your fear! Your little belief is just a crap on the rotten body of your so-called "Christ"! [Priestess:] The blind, the crippled and the lame still keep the faith in a god of disgrace But a songless bird will never sing to the dying glory of a bogous king! [The Angels:] The Goddess of the Night comes... [The Witch:] The sisters murdered king ago still sing their songs in my heart The tunes, the pipes, the words, the rhymes Still call me through the times! "You cut me down and I’ll leap high I am the Life that never dies So dance where ever you may be The ruler of the dance is she!" [The Fool:] And my elder sister takes me by the hand And we spiral sideways to a far away land In the Tempest she sings with the Ocean’s roar Glowing in the Storm that the Mermaid bore! Them witches calling Up from the shore They walk behind me Throught the door! Oh, my youngest sister, oh where have you been? Behind the moon on the other side of dream? Oh, she guides me back sa the raven cries but we’ll meet again for to dance in the skies! [Jehovah:] I am the scum of this dark age I’m your beginning and your end! Ovlivion takes my place The frame holds just another face of death! [Priestess:] Abd who will count the slaughtered lifes? The Burned? The Tortured? The Demised? All The Blood of the Innocent? The Decline of the stolen Trinity? [The Angels:] The Goddess of the Night comes... [The Witch:] The sisters murdered long ago The Endless Dance |

And wil the vows be heard Of immortal desire A breathtaking darkness Into the abyss we dive As you were mine And as memories fade Just like trails of smoke On a midwinter’s night You kept holding me tight As you were mine On came the nights When stormclouds veiled the skies All heavens stood still And all the worlds did collide "Forgive me - I failed!" Lovelorn I will die Nothing more than a dream That you were mine In my cold whilte hands A lover’s bequest There were stars on our side Oh Eva - just one last caress For your were mine "My friens: The most precious gift", Said the fool, "Is a love that follows no rule! There’s no use in turning away! So why are you turning away?" |

See the girl on the floor As she’s watching the rain Like sallow tracks of blood poring down Scattered over the floor The sheets painted in black Showing a fettered mouthless child Her Mother’s gone shopping and she prays For her Daddy not to come home But for Jane’s prayers no god gives a damn Her Daddy is back to play with Jane! She closes her eyes to break away from the girl Lying raped and abused on the ground No use to commit herself to anyone For who’s believe Jane She feels hate for being treated this way Is it her fault Daddy’s playing these games? She tries in vain to think of something She might have done wrong Goodbye to Jane Goodbye to Jane Goodbye to Jane See the girl on the floor She can’t bear it no more: Lewdy hands defiling her skin! A life like that means not much to Jane The belt ’round her neck gently takes her away! He’s closing the door for she seems asleep: Those sickening games won’t be played anymore! No-one could explain what happend to Jane She was only one in a million girls Goodbye to Jane Goodbye to Jane Goodbye to Jane |

By the river I sat down one day Saw my life the other way All those trials to no avail Broken dreams was all I bloody gained Way down, Carry me down To the River of Life! Vindicate! Remember well when I was a child They promised me a paradise But promises turned into lies All they left us was a world demise! Way down, Carry me down To the River of Life! Anyhow! Hold me in your arms Drown me in sweet moisture Lascivious fiery breath covering Your fangs softly penetrate the pleasure and the pain! Dissolving I discern: I’m not dead! I asked for love, got a golden cage Plastic emotions in a plastic age The pain I felt they told me wasn’t real "The Earth!", I cried - my last appeal! Way down, Carry me down To the River of Life! Come to light! Now it’s my turn to realize To change the road, to change the side The past has gone: May it rest in peace A new dawn fades as She sows the seed Way down, Carry me down To the River of Life! Recognize! Hold me in your arms... Drown me in sweet moisture Lascivious fiery breath overflow Your fangs softly penetrate the pleasure and the pain! Dissolving I discern: I’m still alive! A midnight’s dream disclosure saw momentous desire My life layed in your hands, My confidence! The background of reality just one step away Am I to cross the frontier? Am I to dare? In dreams I died a thousand times But then one dream: A golden shrine Her whispered words did soothe my grief What a candour in this world of thieves Way down, Carry me down To the River of Life! Indicate! I hear the call of the roaring sea Still a fire’s burning inside of me The wind shall take me to another shore The Earth I am, for evermore! Way down, Carry me down To the River of Life! Eternity! And as I try to stand the trial Dreams and Memories of You Come haunting me like demons! But I won’t fail this time Because my Love had been asleep for much too long! Oh Eva, Your Love so previous and pure! May the Goddess grant me a second miracle So I may lie in Your arms again! For You are the Sun, the Moon and the Stars to me! You are the only one I desire from the depths of my heart! Desperate I walk the blackness of the Maze Trying to follow the footsteps of an unforgetable Love they’s bring me back again to You, Eva, my Beloved! |

6. | Her Orphaned Throne | 11:36 | Show lyrics |
Destiny turned the page to another side in my book of life: "He who once was artless like a child had to face the blackest night!" While I was unaware, She must have silently faded away: "Whereas his shadow walks the Earh in restless search for the Queen!" As the cold begins to bite, in Nightmare’s realm I lie awake: "Fading voices calling back the years into time’s deadly embrace!" Behind these delusive hills where gales ensnare a paralyzed sun: "In sombre distress he’s entering the hall just to find Her Orphaned Throne!" Broken and desperate before Her Orphaned Throne Holding a dying sparraw in his hands His eyes full of tears had seen the wasted land Will She ever come again? Ever come again? Suam sanclam ad sedern liceat me vobis sequi Si sanum me facere volueritis Suam sancta ad sedem, ad marin Si enim hoc loco versatus sim, periturus est Suam sanctam ad sedem liceat me vobis sequi Num hoc solo loco me Dea expectat Passion turned out to be a slip of the pen amongst the lines of fate: "All that was left in the end: Forgotten echoes in a dream!" For only a fool’s solemnity might ignite the driftwood of my heart: "Still My Life shines on every move you make: Just call My Name and I’ll be there!" So cranky and blind I did not see, rashness made me lose my own way: "Fragments of glass cutting through his veins: I shall save him from this pain!" Destiny turned the page to the final chapter in my book of life: "Awake see him lie in Marah’s warm embrace - I’m returning on My Throne!" Broken and desperate... |

Down in the valley on a midwinter’s night Walks the crone unseen by human kind Her weary heart longing for rest Her eyes saw too much of sorrow and grief There was a time when she was adored And the valley was full of bliss and joy Until the day the gaunt one appeared He never smiled nor shed any tear And he raised his voice: "Behold, I’m Messiah!" It was then she knew Her time had come A dream? A dream? It’s only a dream A dream? A dream? She lives in my dreams The man, he spoke of commandments and sins Of wicked wives, of chaste and virtuous men He’d sown the seed of mischief in their hearts Those once proud now a submissive crowd And he raised his voice: "Behold, I’m Messiah! I’m the son of god: I come in fire! My kingdom come, my will be done!" It was then she knew Her time had come A dream? A dream? It’s only a dream A dream? A dream? She lives in my dreams Now the blind are leading the blind Independence and wisdom exchanged for ignorance and minority Seizure and oppression amongst the once born free But still no one dared to raise a hand against the crone They were aware - despite his sermons - that she still held the strength and the power And as she makes her way through centuries and decades She waits for human kind to awake and shake off the chains of Messiah In patience she walks the world in search for those Who uphold the memento of the Golden Age While in his church, in fitful sleep, tormented by nightmares Lies Messiah in fright of the dark The demons he raised to strike the blind with fear were not just a mirage They’ve become alive to haunt Messiah To end creation’s devastation The senseless sacrifice She, the weaver, Weaves the veil of damnation! And out of the skies Valkyries and Erinyes rising Avenging angels of doom Called by the crone The wandering ones seek for vengeance Awaiting the last stand The earth awakes in fire, thunderstorm and lightning Night calls into being decline And up in the skies The crone in the midst of silence Armageddon has now begun! And out of his dreams Messiah pleas: "Goddess, have mercy upon me!" "Misguided prophet See my scythe Descending over you!" Down in the valley beneath the river of time Sits the crone remembering human kind Now winter’s gone and springtime has come And all the ashes are washed away... |

Oh Goddess Sister of Night Mother of Life Guardian of Time to You I raise my voice for I have walked in darkness through vales of pain and I drank from springs of tears Let my body burst into blossom again of flourishing beauty or bury me deep in Mother Earth Let my eyes be passionate messengers again of my undying love for her or close them forever Let my lips drink from hers again the enrapturing liqueur of desire or seal them forever Let my soul touch hers again Oh, let her heart yearn for mine once more or drown me forever in the sea of oblivion Let her love be inflamed for me again in deepest passion and lust or burn me on the pyre of unfulfilled desire May out of this darkness arise a new dawn or let these words be my epitaph... |

Down in the valley on a midwinter’s night Walks the crone unseen by human kind Her weary heart longing for rest Her eyes saw too much of sorrow and grief There was a time when she was adored And the valley was full of bliss and joy Until the day the gaunt one appeared He never smiled nor shed any tear And he raised his voice: "Behold, I’m Messiah!" It was then she knew Her time had come A dream? A dream? It’s only a dream A dream? A dream? She lives in my dreams The man, he spoke of commandments and sins Of wicked wives, of chaste and virtuous men He’d sown the seed of mischief in their hearts Those once proud now a submissive crowd And he raised his voice: "Behold, I’m Messiah! I’m the son of god: I come in fire! My kingdom come, my will be done!" It was then she knew Her time had come A dream? A dream? It’s only a dream A dream? A dream? She lives in my dreams Now the blind are leading the blind Independence and wisdom exchanged for ignorance and minority Seizure and oppression amongst the once born free But still no one dared to raise a hand against the crone They were aware - despite his sermons - that she still held the strength and the power And as she makes her way through centuries and decades She waits for human kind to awake and shake off the chains of Messiah In patience she walks the world in search for those Who uphold the memento of the Golden Age While in his church, in fitful sleep, tormented by nightmares Lies Messiah in fright of the dark The demons he raised to strike the blind with fear were not just a mirage They’ve become alive to haunt Messiah To end creation’s devastation The senseless sacrifice She, the weaver, Weaves the veil of damnation! And out of the skies Valkyries and Erinyes rising Avenging angels of doom Called by the crone The wandering ones seek for vengeance Awaiting the last stand The earth awakes in fire, thunderstorm and lightning Night calls into being decline And up in the skies The crone in the midst of silence Armageddon has now begun! And out of his dreams Messiah pleas: "Goddess, have mercy upon me!" "Misguided prophet See my scythe Descending over you!" Down in the valley beneath the river of time Sits the crone remembering human kind Now winter’s gone and springtime has come And all the ashes are washed away... |

Oh Goddess Sister of Night Mother of Life Guardian of Time to You I raise my voice for I have walked in darkness through vales of pain and I drank from springs of tears Let my body burst into blossom again of flourishing beauty or bury me deep in Mother Earth Let my eyes be passionate messengers again of my undying love for her or close them forever Let my lips drink from hers again the enrapturing liqueur of desire or seal them forever Let my soul touch hers again Oh, let her heart yearn for mine once more or drown me forever in the sea of oblivion Let her love be inflamed for me again in deepest passion and lust or burn me on the pyre of unfulfilled desire May out of this darkness arise a new dawn or let these words be my epitaph... |

[Jehovah:] Read in my book of lies of atrocities, blood and sacrifice! My temples erected in gold and bone The stupid sheep turn theis head to the blind! [Priestess:] And comes the winter of your life The king of kings - left to your own device The ones who thought to walk in light will freeze to death in the endless night! [The Angels:] The Goddess of the Night comes! 3 curses to the holy throne! No regrets! It’s too late! The Goddess of the Night comes! Will ask for what have you done! The father, holy ghost and son! No remand... [The Witch:] The sisters murdered king long ago still sing their songs in my heart The tunes, the pipes, the words, the rhymes Still call me through the times! [Jehovah:] Your senseless prayers I never hear The sign of the cross in praise of your fear! Your little belief is just a crap on the rotten body of your so-called "Christ"! [Priestess:] The blind, the crippled and the lame still keep the faith in a god of disgrace But a songless bird will never sing to the dying glory of a bogous king! [The Angels:] The Goddess of the Night comes... [The Witch:] The sisters murdered king ago still sing their songs in my heart The tunes, the pipes, the words, the rhymes Still call me through the times! "You cut me down and I’ll leap high I am the Life that never dies So dance where ever you may be The ruler of the dance is she!" [The Fool:] And my elder sister takes me by the hand And we spiral sideways to a far away land In the Tempest she sings with the Ocean’s roar Glowing in the Storm that the Mermaid bore! Them witches calling Up from the shore They walk behind me Throught the door! Oh, my youngest sister, oh where have you been? Behind the moon on the other side of dream? Oh, she guides me back sa the raven cries but we’ll meet again for to dance in the skies! [Jehovah:] I am the scum of this dark age I’m your beginning and your end! Ovlivion takes my place The frame holds just another face of death! [Priestess:] Abd who will count the slaughtered lifes? The Burned? The Tortured? The Demised? All The Blood of the Innocent? The Decline of the stolen Trinity? [The Angels:] The Goddess of the Night comes... [The Witch:] The sisters murdered long ago The Endless Dance |

3. | Requiem ex Sidhe | 07:32 | Show lyrics |
And wil the vows be heard Of immortal desire A breathtaking darkness Into the abyss we dive As you were mine And as memories fade Just like trails of smoke On a midwinter’s night You kept holding me tight As you were mine On came the nights When stormclouds veiled the skies All heavens stood still And all the worlds did collide "Forgive me - I failed!" Lovelorn I will die Nothing more than a dream That you were mine In my cold whilte hands A lover’s bequest There were stars on our side Oh Eva - just one last caress For your were mine "My friens: The most precious gift", Said the fool, "Is a love that follows no rule! There’s no use in turning away! So why are you turning away?" |

4. | Goodbye to Jane | 07:40 | Show lyrics |
See the girl on the floor As she’s watching the rain Like sallow tracks of blood poring down Scattered over the floor The sheets painted in black Showing a fettered mouthless child Her Mother’s gone shopping and she prays For her Daddy not to come home But for Jane’s prayers no god gives a damn Her Daddy is back to play with Jane! She closes her eyes to break away from the girl Lying raped and abused on the ground No use to commit herself to anyone For who’s believe Jane She feels hate for being treated this way Is it her fault Daddy’s playing these games? She tries in vain to think of something She might have done wrong Goodbye to Jane Goodbye to Jane Goodbye to Jane See the girl on the floor She can’t bear it no more: Lewdy hands defiling her skin! A life like that means not much to Jane The belt ’round her neck gently takes her away! He’s closing the door for she seems asleep: Those sickening games won’t be played anymore! No-one could explain what happend to Jane She was only one in a million girls Goodbye to Jane Goodbye to Jane Goodbye to Jane |

5. | Baleias | 06:11 | Show lyrics |
By the river I sat down one day Saw my life the other way All those trials to no avail Broken dreams was all I bloody gained Way down, Carry me down To the River of Life! Vindicate! Remember well when I was a child They promised me a paradise But promises turned into lies All they left us was a world demise! Way down, Carry me down To the River of Life! Anyhow! Hold me in your arms Drown me in sweet moisture Lascivious fiery breath covering Your fangs softly penetrate the pleasure and the pain! Dissolving I discern: I’m not dead! I asked for love, got a golden cage Plastic emotions in a plastic age The pain I felt they told me wasn’t real "The Earth!", I cried - my last appeal! Way down, Carry me down To the River of Life! Come to light! Now it’s my turn to realize To change the road, to change the side The past has gone: May it rest in peace A new dawn fades as She sows the seed Way down, Carry me down To the River of Life! Recognize! Hold me in your arms... Drown me in sweet moisture Lascivious fiery breath overflow Your fangs softly penetrate the pleasure and the pain! Dissolving I discern: I’m still alive! A midnight’s dream disclosure saw momentous desire My life layed in your hands, My confidence! The background of reality just one step away Am I to cross the frontier? Am I to dare? In dreams I died a thousand times But then one dream: A golden shrine Her whispered words did soothe my grief What a candour in this world of thieves Way down, Carry me down To the River of Life! Indicate! I hear the call of the roaring sea Still a fire’s burning inside of me The wind shall take me to another shore The Earth I am, for evermore! Way down, Carry me down To the River of Life! Eternity! And as I try to stand the trial Dreams and Memories of You Come haunting me like demons! But I won’t fail this time Because my Love had been asleep for much too long! Oh Eva, Your Love so previous and pure! May the Goddess grant me a second miracle So I may lie in Your arms again! For You are the Sun, the Moon and the Stars to me! You are the only one I desire from the depths of my heart! Desperate I walk the blackness of the Maze Trying to follow the footsteps of an unforgetable Love they’s bring me back again to You, Eva, my Beloved! |

6. | Her Orphaned Throne | 11:36 | Show lyrics |
Destiny turned the page to another side in my book of life: "He who once was artless like a child had to face the blackest night!" While I was unaware, She must have silently faded away: "Whereas his shadow walks the Earh in restless search for the Queen!" As the cold begins to bite, in Nightmare’s realm I lie awake: "Fading voices calling back the years into time’s deadly embrace!" Behind these delusive hills where gales ensnare a paralyzed sun: "In sombre distress he’s entering the hall just to find Her Orphaned Throne!" Broken and desperate before Her Orphaned Throne Holding a dying sparraw in his hands His eyes full of tears had seen the wasted land Will She ever come again? Ever come again? Suam sanclam ad sedern liceat me vobis sequi Si sanum me facere volueritis Suam sancta ad sedem, ad marin Si enim hoc loco versatus sim, periturus est Suam sanctam ad sedem liceat me vobis sequi Num hoc solo loco me Dea expectat Passion turned out to be a slip of the pen amongst the lines of fate: "All that was left in the end: Forgotten echoes in a dream!" For only a fool’s solemnity might ignite the driftwood of my heart: "Still My Life shines on every move you make: Just call My Name and I’ll be there!" So cranky and blind I did not see, rashness made me lose my own way: "Fragments of glass cutting through his veins: I shall save him from this pain!" Destiny turned the page to the final chapter in my book of life: "Awake see him lie in Marah’s warm embrace - I’m returning on My Throne!" Broken and desperate... |

A life like that means not much to Jane The belt ’round her neck gently takes her away! He’s closing the door for she seems asleep: Those sickening games won’t be played anymore! No-one could explain what happend to Jane She was only one in a million girls Goodbye to Jane Goodbye to Jane Goodbye to Jane |

By the river I sat down one day Saw my life the other way All those trials to no avail Broken dreams was all I bloody gained Way down, Carry me down To the River of Life! Vindicate! Remember well when I was a child They promised me a paradise But promises turned into lies All they left us was a world demise! Way down, Carry me down To the River of Life! Anyhow! Hold me in your arms Drown me in sweet moisture Lascivious fiery breath covering Your fangs softly penetrate the pleasure and the pain! Dissolving I discern: I’m not dead! I asked for love, got a golden cage Plastic emotions in a plastic age The pain I felt they told me wasn’t real "The Earth!", I cried - my last appeal! Way down, Carry me down To the River of Life! Come to light! Now it’s my turn to realize To change the road, to change the side The past has gone: May it rest in peace A new dawn fades as She sows the seed Way down, Carry me down To the River of Life! Recognize! Hold me in your arms... Drown me in sweet moisture Lascivious fiery breath overflow Your fangs softly penetrate the pleasure and the pain! Dissolving I discern: I’m still alive! A midnight’s dream disclosure saw momentous desire My life layed in your hands, My confidence! The background of reality just one step away Am I to cross the frontier? Am I to dare? In dreams I died a thousand times But then one dream: A golden shrine Her whispered words did soothe my grief What a candour in this world of thieves Way down, Carry me down To the River of Life! Indicate! I hear the call of the roaring sea Still a fire’s burning inside of me The wind shall take me to another shore The Earth I am, for evermore! Way down, Carry me down To the River of Life! Eternity! And as I try to stand the trial Dreams and Memories of You Come haunting me like demons! But I won’t fail this time Because my Love had been asleep for much too long! Oh Eva, Your Love so previous and pure! May the Goddess grant me a second miracle So I may lie in Your arms again! For You are the Sun, the Moon and the Stars to me! You are the only one I desire from the depths of my heart! Desperate I walk the blackness of the Maze Trying to follow the footsteps of an unforgetable Love they’s bring me back again to You, Eva, my Beloved! |

Destiny turned the page to another side in my book of life: "He who once was artless like a child had to face the blackest night!" While I was unaware, She must have silently faded away: "Whereas his shadow walks the Earh in restless search for the Queen!" As the cold begins to bite, in Nightmare’s realm I lie awake: "Fading voices calling back the years into time’s deadly embrace!" Behind these delusive hills where gales ensnare a paralyzed sun: "In sombre distress he’s entering the hall just to find Her Orphaned Throne!" Broken and desperate before Her Orphaned Throne Holding a dying sparraw in his hands His eyes full of tears had seen the wasted land Will She ever come again? Ever come again? Suam sanclam ad sedern liceat me vobis sequi Si sanum me facere volueritis Suam sancta ad sedem, ad marin Si enim hoc loco versatus sim, periturus est Suam sanctam ad sedem liceat me vobis sequi Num hoc solo loco me Dea expectat Passion turned out to be a slip of the pen amongst the lines of fate: "All that was left in the end: Forgotten echoes in a dream!" For only a fool’s solemnity might ignite the driftwood of my heart: "Still My Life shines on every move you make: Just call My Name and I’ll be there!" So cranky and blind I did not see, rashness made me lose my own way: "Fragments of glass cutting through his veins: I shall save him from this pain!"

Down in the valley on a midwinter’s night Walks the crone unseen by human kind Her weary heart longing for rest Her eyes saw too much of sorrow and grief There was a time when she was adored And the valley was full of bliss and joy Until the day the gaunt one appeared He never smiled nor shed any tear And he raised his voice: "Behold, I’m Messiah!" It was then she knew Her time had come A dream? A dream? It’s only a dream A dream? A dream? She lives in my dreams The man, he spoke of commandments and sins Of wicked wives, of chaste and virtuous men He’d sown the seed of mischief in their hearts Those once proud now a submissive crowd And he raised his voice: "Behold, I’m Messiah! I’m the son of god: I come in fire! My kingdom come, my will be done!" It was then she knew Her time had come A dream? A dream? It’s only a dream A dream? A dream? She lives in my dreams Now the blind are leading the blind Independence and wisdom exchanged for ignorance and minority Seizure and oppression amongst the once born free But still no one dared to raise a hand against the crone They were aware - despite his sermons - that she still held the strength and the power And as she makes her way through centuries and decades She waits for human kind to awake and shake off the chains of Messiah In patience she walks the world in search for those Who uphold the memento of the Golden Age While in his church, in fitful sleep, tormented by nightmares Lies Messiah in fright of the dark The demons he raised to strike the blind with fear were not just a mirage They’ve become alive to haunt Messiah To end creation’s devastation The senseless sacrifice She, the weaver, Weaves the veil of damnation! And out of the skies Valkyries and Erinyes rising Avenging angels of doom Called by the crone The wandering ones seek for vengeance Awaiting the last stand The earth awakes in fire, thunderstorm and lightning Night calls into being decline And up in the skies The crone in the midst of silence Armageddon has now begun! And out of his dreams Messiah pleas: "Goddess, have mercy upon me!" "Misguided prophet See my scythe Descending over you!" Down in the valley beneath the river of time Sits the crone remembering human kind Now winter’s gone and springtime has come And all the ashes are washed away... |

And wil the vows be heard Of immortal desire A breathtaking darkness Into the abyss we dive As you were mine And as memories fade Just like trails of smoke On a midwinter’s night You kept holding me tight As you were mine On came the nights When stormclouds veiled the skies All heavens stood still And all the worlds did collide "Forgive me - I failed!" Lovelorn I will die Nothing more than a dream That you were mine In my cold whilte hands A lover’s bequest There were stars on our side Oh Eva - just one last caress For your were mine "My friens: The most precious gift", Said the fool, "Is a love that follows no rule! There’s no use in turning away! So why are you turning away?" |

Them witches calling Up from the shore They walk behind me Throught the door! Oh, my youngest sister, oh where have you been? Behind the moon on the other side of dream? Oh, she guides me back sa the raven cries but we’ll meet again for to dance in the skies! [Jehovah:] I am the scum of this dark age I’m your beginning and your end! Ovlivion takes my place The frame holds just another face of death! [Priestess:] Abd who will count the slaughtered lifes? The Burned? The Tortured? The Demised? All The Blood of the Innocent? The Decline of the stolen Trinity? [The Angels:] The Goddess of the Night comes... [The Witch:] The sisters murdered long ago The Endless Dance |

Oh, believe me, my Love I will stand, laying siege to this fortress of time With the glory of you in my heart charge before the sun touches the rime The Beltane fires upon the hill Your hand in mine by the old water-mill Fairies sing our wedding song now the moon lingers on Stay with me, my Love my Angel, my Life I’ve walked this dark maze and now we will fly On the wings of the nightswan... |

3. | Trying Not to Breathe | 09:37 | Show lyrics |
Oh, this void inside tears my soul apart Why did you lie? I lost my faith in you! Once there was purity but now only perfidy and pain because you‘ve been untrue! You broke all promises and now our love is bound to die and so am I - I die! Lost forever within the debris of my dreams I put my trust in you! How could you leave me in a lurch after all that I‘ve gone through What the hell did you do? Down on my knees I pray: „Save me, save me, save me, please!“ but no hope anymore - I die! I‘m trying not to breathe! I can‘t stand this anymore therefore I‘ll leave I‘m trying not to breathe! And so I‘ll leave this world behind broken by faithlessness of the killing kind I‘m trying not to breathe! Remember when you called my name? I‘ve been always there for you! To me it‘s more than just a game I loved you too much, and still I do! Now your body‘s so close to mine I kiss your lips goodbye To lie in your arms for a last time before I die! And he dreams of days gone by Floating down to the other side A thousand Angels cry Firing squad against the walls of light Not again another day Now his love has lost the last stand Oh Angels, hear him pray As he‘s passing away into her hands! I‘m trying not to breathe! I can‘t stand your loss, your lies; therefore I‘ll leave I‘m trying not to breathe! and so I try to leave the pain behind of treason that became the killing kind I‘m trying not to breathe! But you swore you‘d love me forever and it was only yesterday What have I done to deserve this Am I destiny‘s fool? And I hate you, and I love you for what you‘ve done to me Oh shit, why did you leave me in such despair? I‘m trying not to breathe though I try so hard to reach the other side I‘m trying not to breathe No more songs for me to sing because you leave Now I think I see the light: Goodbye, my love! Oh, I‘m trying not to breathe |

By the ocean I sat down one day Saw my life the other way All those trials to no avail Broken dreams was all I bloody gained Remember well when I was a child They promised me a paradise But promises turned into lies leaving us a world demise! Hold me in your arms Drown me in sweet moisture Lascivious fiery breath covering Your fangs softly penetrate the pleasure and the pain Dissolving I discern: I’m not dead! I asked for love, got a golden cage Plastic emotions in a plastic age The pain I felt they told me wasn‘t real „The Earth!“, I cried: My last appeal! Now it‘s my turn to realize To change the road, to change the side The past has gone, may it rest in peace A new dawn fades as She sows the seed Hold me in your arms Drown me in sweet moisture Lascivious fiery breath overflow Your fangs softly penetrate the pleasure and the pain Dissolving I discern: I’m alive! A midnight‘s dream disclosure saw momentous desire My life layed in your hands My confidence The background of reality just one step away Am I to cross the frontier? Am I to dare? In dreams I died a thousand times But then one dream: A golden shrine Her whispered words did soothe my grief What a candour in this world of thieves I hear the call of the roaring sea Still a fire‘s burning inside of me The wind shall take me to another shore The Earth I am, for evermore! Way down, carry me down to the ocean of love! Alone again I stand amongst the debris of a dream having to face once more the madness of love But I know that the Goddess will hear my yearning call and her enchanting song will make my heart dance |

Farewell, pretty one: It‘s all over now you‘ve gone After all that we went through, you left me when I needed you The times we shared, the good and bad, were the best I‘ve ever had, the best years of my life.... Farewell, pretty one: I‘ve put all my faith in you and I can‘t understand: Did you lie on that night you said you‘d never let me go? Oh, I believed each word you‘ve said I believed until the end It‘s so hard to realize you never wanted me that close by your side And the snow falls back in time down the hillside on our sledge we‘d ride We were laughing in the january sun And for a moment time stood still as we rode on and on and on.... Still the snow falls on Yule-tide falls forever on that dreary mountainside And the ghost of our love stands right above: A monument of your smile And our laughter that died so long ago lingers on and on and on... Never will I forget our last winter Never will I forget the last winter of our love! Goodbye, pretty one: You broke my heart twice, now I‘m done! You left me like a dream at the break of dawn and I almost died And even if you‘re lying now in someone else‘s arms I‘m still with you in a dream, in dreams of days gone by, the best days of my life Goodnight, my love, goodnight.... For we were dancing in the midnight sun our love became too wild I loved you like a child The fire went out, went out before dawn and I broke down and cried and I drowned and died |

Oh, you changed everything Nothing‘s the same anymore I see colours I‘ve never seen before I hear songs that make my heart sing with joy You set my heart on fire like it never burned before And I‘m sure that up there in the sky shine some new-born stars that were not known until tonight Can you hear me ground-control? I think I‘m lost in space Do you hear me ground-control? An unknown planet appears on my screen.... Never thought I‘d be an astronaut Never thought I‘d leave the earth Never thought I‘d fly so high Break through the sky while you hold me in your embrace And as the air starts getting thin Your lips on mine: exchanging love‘s oxygen And the last call they receive: Our capsule vanishing somewhere behind Andromeda.... We can‘t hear you ground-control! I think we‘re lost in space! We can‘t hear you anymore! An unknown planet appears on our screen.... I‘ll meet you tonight on Planet Kyrah! I‘ll kiss you tonight on Planet Kyrah! |

7. | The Sea | 13:12 | Show lyrics |
Down in the gutter of broken hearts I lie in 8 months time died the love of my life Wounds cut so deep: Will I ever forget that you crept away like a thief in the night? And I‘m standing on top of a mountain Crying bereavement to the stars Will I make my way without you? Will I ever get over you? Oh, this room: it seems so strange now cause your laughter still echoes inside Withered roses will never bloom again Carry my weight: Those memories of you! Once I felt that you loved me These days are over, now we‘re through Our secret garden lost forever I never thought you could be that cruel In cold blood you walked away! I saw a shadow on the shadow of her smile Dream-like strains wake me up at night The memory of her presence faded long ago like a vanished trail of smoke I try in vain to recollect the time of a love that we once shared Fragments of her voice come haunting me at night How I wished I could turn back time Her name once written down in my diary now frozen between the lines Gone like last winters frostwork on the window-pane Will I ever understand? Still there‘s a shadow on the shadow of her smile Gates of time can never be crossed twice The frostwork of our love melted all away but when we die our songs remain! And comes the winter of our lives we‘re trying to keep us warm with the ashes of our fading memories Once frostwork‘s fallen on the ground You can never bring it back It‘s melting without sound Nights are so cold and empty without you Still your scent lingers on in my room Trying to set sails for a new horizon Trying to keep the candle alight! Still I‘m standing on top of the mountain with my soul floating to the stars Songs of love and loss while the night of this new moon does conceal my bleeding heart! No regrets - I won‘t look back in anger Even if it‘s so hard to forget Will I survive yet another dark winter til snow will melt and rivers do flow? And our time did not last forever Though our love it seemed so pure While I face the light of a new day Hope these memories fade away How I wished they‘d fade away! Take me down to the sea Take me to my last resort d‘Amour Take me down to the sea Down there my lover‘s waiting She has come for our last rendez-vous Singing, dancing, dreaming Drowning in the waves of tears that never dry Drowning in the waves of love that never dies |

And the rear lights of your car behind the trees they fade away walking inside somnambular there goes a lovelorn castaway Does it always have to be like this? I’ll never know Was it something that I said? You said: "I gotta go...." While leaving me back here with my memories and my tears You won’t reappear! Staring at the telephone Wondering if I’d try? I never knew that nights could be that long And still I hear your last good-bye Strange people on the screen, they try to make me laugh But everywhere I see your face and the photograph on the wall says that you’re gone And I’m waiting for the sun, keep dreaming on..... No fire in the lighthouse to guide me tonight Don’t know if our planet’s razed torn apart by love’s meteorite I know I will lose you How can I face another daylight? And I know this could ring down the curtain to our last show No second chance for Juliet and her Romeo No applause, no ovations, no bravissimo Please don’t go! |

9. | Forever I Ride | 09:00 | Show lyrics |
As the autumn wind blows hard in crawling devastation I was not prepared to find fate in a state of rage Love once seemed so strong to me, promising salvation another Tragedie d‘amour appearing on life‘s stage And again he hears the raven‘s cry.... I‘m strucked down without warning by your words like cyanide She left me in the morning but forever I will ride And forever I ride... Suddenly I‘m lost inside tremendous aberration Songs that used to make me glad now make me wanna cry Restlessly I‘m walking empty streets up to the station Standing there in silence as the trains keep passing by And he turns his face towards the sky... The stars fade in the dawning, but the door‘s still opened wide And still I am adorning, but forever I will ride And forever I ride.... In love from the first time that I saw you and the fire in your eyes Take me to your sea of flowers Hold me as the wind shakes the rye Lady of the Lake: I long to be with you Burning streams like ours cannot disband The mist it spreads your name in early morning dew Forever shall you be Queen of the Land Incense leaving trails of smoke A vision of us fasting our hands Angels laying siege to my heart and I shall not longer withstand Lady of the Lake: I long to be with you This love of ours will never ever end May the silver moon make all our dreams come true Forever shall you be Queen of the Land Hear the song of the waves Storms calling up thunder and light A premature grave overgrown by black lillies of night Hekate arise! Bring back the love of my life! Rain falls down, it soaks my cloak on this cold grey morning I missed the last train that could have me taken back to you! There‘s no use in staying here waiting for the dawning The fool just saddles up again as if he always knew that again he‘d hear the ravens cry.... |

10. | The Farewell | 04:36 | Show lyrics |
I wanted to live on top of a mountain but it‘s cold and forsaken there without you now I wanted to dive into the ocean of love but I got shipwrecked on the shores of broken dreams For you I sang songs of the nightswan and each line I wrote was a beat of my heart Forever burning on love‘s funeral pyre: Stop beating now, my bleeding heart! For this knife did cut too deep so for the last time I‘m trying not to breathe Once there was a fire in the lighthouse of my heart: I gave you so much more than just my love and you broke so much more than just a promise Our planet vanished so devastatingly amongst the mists of time There was no treasure to be found at Rainbow‘s End somewhere behind Andromeda I‘ve been waiting til the end of december but no more will I ride for the winter solstice‘s child will pass away silently on a midsummer‘s night So may you come now, my Dead Romantic Angel serenade Kyrahnean Hymns to me Hold me in your arms cover me with elder flowers and take me down to my beloved sea I‘m so tired, so tremendously tired Please wait for me under the midnight sun where I will sing and dance again and my laughter will be heard echoing down the hillside again... Oh, how I tried to believe, how I loved, How I tried to hold on to my dream; How I wanted to live - but now I‘m going home to a place where love is more than just a four-letter word and as I kiss the memory of yours goodnight I‘m beginning to see the light... Ich liebe Dich für immer! |

A midnight‘s dream disclosure saw momentous desire My life layed in your hands My confidence The background of reality just one step away Am I to cross the frontier? Am I to dare? In dreams I died a thousand times But then one dream: A golden shrine Her whispered words did soothe my grief What a candour in this world of thieves I hear the call of the roaring sea Still a fire‘s burning inside of me The wind shall take me to another shore The Earth I am, for evermore! Way down, carry me down to the ocean of love! Alone again I stand amongst the debris of a dream having to face once more the madness of love But I know that the Goddess will hear my yearning call and her enchanting song will make my heart dance |

Farewell, pretty one: It‘s all over now you‘ve gone After all that we went through, you left me when I needed you The times we shared, the good and bad, were the best I‘ve ever had, the best years of my life.... Farewell, pretty one: I‘ve put all my faith in you and I can‘t understand: Did you lie on that night you said you‘d never let me go? Oh, I believed each word you‘ve said I believed until the end It‘s so hard to realize you never wanted me that close by your side And the snow falls back in time down the hillside on our sledge we‘d ride We were laughing in the january sun And for a moment time stood still as we rode on and on and on.... Still the snow falls on Yule-tide falls forever on that dreary mountainside And the ghost of our love stands right above: A monument of your smile And our laughter that died so long ago lingers on and on and on... Never will I forget our last winter Never will I forget the last winter of our love! Goodbye, pretty one: You broke my heart twice, now I‘m done! You left me like a dream at the break of dawn and I almost died And even if you‘re lying now in someone else‘s arms I‘m still with you in a dream, in dreams of days gone by, the best days of my life Goodnight, my love, goodnight.... For we were dancing in the midnight sun our love became too wild I loved you like a child The fire went out, went out before dawn and I broke down and cried and I drowned and died |

Oh, you changed everything Nothing‘s the same anymore I see colours I‘ve never seen before I hear songs that make my heart sing with joy You set my heart on fire like it never burned before And I‘m sure that up there in the sky shine some new-born stars that were not known until tonight Can you hear me ground-control? I think I‘m lost in space Do you hear me ground-control? An unknown planet appears on my screen.... Never thought I‘d be an astronaut Never thought I‘d leave the earth Never thought I‘d fly so high Break through the sky while you hold me in your embrace And as the air starts getting thin Your lips on mine: exchanging love‘s oxygen And the last call they receive: Our capsule vanishing somewhere behind Andromeda.... We can‘t hear you ground-control! I think we‘re lost in space! We can‘t hear you anymore! An unknown planet appears on our screen.... I‘ll meet you tonight on Planet Kyrah! I‘ll kiss you tonight on Planet Kyrah! |

7. | The Sea | 13:12 | Show lyrics |
Down in the gutter of broken hearts I lie in 8 months time died the love of my life Wounds cut so deep: Will I ever forget that you crept away like a thief in the night? And I‘m standing on top of a mountain Crying bereavement to the stars Will I make my way without you? Will I ever get over you? Oh, this room: it seems so strange now cause your laughter still echoes inside Withered roses will never bloom again Carry my weight: Those memories of you! Once I felt that you loved me These days are over, now we‘re through Our secret garden lost forever I never thought you could be that cruel In cold blood you walked away! I saw a shadow on the shadow of her smile Dream-like strains wake me up at night The memory of her presence faded long ago like a vanished trail of smoke I try in vain to recollect the time of a love that we once shared Fragments of her voice come haunting me at night How I wished I could turn back time Her name once written down in my diary now frozen between the lines Gone like last winters frostwork on the window-pane Will I ever understand? Still there‘s a shadow on the shadow of her smile Gates of time can never be crossed twice The frostwork of our love melted all away but when we die our songs remain! And comes the winter of our lives we‘re trying to keep us warm with the ashes of our fading memories Once frostwork‘s fallen on the ground You can never bring it back It‘s melting without sound Nights are so cold and empty without you Still your scent lingers on in my room Trying to set sails for a new horizon Trying to keep the candle alight! Still I‘m standing on top of the mountain with my soul floating to the stars Songs of love and loss while the night of this new moon does conceal my bleeding heart! No regrets - I won‘t look back in anger Even if it‘s so hard to forget Will I survive yet another dark winter til snow will melt and rivers do flow? And our time did not last forever Though our love it seemed so pure While I face the light of a new day Hope these memories fade away How I wished they‘d fade away! Take me down to the sea Take me to my last resort d‘Amour Take me down to the sea Down there my lover‘s waiting She has come for our last rendez-vous Singing, dancing, dreaming Drowning in the waves of tears that never dry Drowning in the waves of love that never dies |

And the rear lights of your car behind the trees they fade away walking inside somnambular there goes a lovelorn castaway Does it always have to be like this? I’ll never know Was it something that I said? You said: "I gotta go...." While leaving me back here with my memories and my tears You won’t reappear! Staring at the telephone Wondering if I’d try? I never knew that nights could be that long And still I hear your last good-bye Strange people on the screen, they try to make me laugh But everywhere I see your face and the photograph on the wall says that you’re gone And I’m waiting for the sun, keep dreaming on..... No fire in the lighthouse to guide me tonight Don’t know if our planet’s razed torn apart by love’s meteorite I know I will lose you How can I face another daylight? And I know this could ring down the curtain to our last show No second chance for Juliet and her Romeo No applause, no ovations, no bravissimo Please don’t go! |

9. | Forever I Ride | 09:00 | Show lyrics |
As the autumn wind blows hard in crawling devastation I was not prepared to find fate in a state of rage Love once seemed so strong to me, promising salvation another Tragedie d‘amour appearing on life‘s stage And again he hears the raven‘s cry.... I‘m strucked down without warning by your words like cyanide She left me in the morning but forever I will ride And forever I ride... Suddenly I‘m lost inside tremendous aberration Songs that used to make me glad now make me wanna cry Restlessly I‘m walking empty streets up to the station Standing there in silence as the trains keep passing by And he turns his face towards the sky... The stars fade in the dawning, but the door‘s still opened wide And still I am adorning, but forever I will ride And forever I ride.... In love from the first time that I saw you and the fire in your eyes Take me to your sea of flowers Hold me as the wind shakes the rye Lady of the Lake: I long to be with you Burning streams like ours cannot disband The mist it spreads your name in early morning dew Forever shall you be Queen of the Land Incense leaving trails of smoke A vision of us fasting our hands Angels laying siege to my heart and I shall not longer withstand Lady of the Lake: I long to be with you This love of ours will never ever end May the silver moon make all our dreams come true Forever shall you be Queen of the Land Hear the song of the waves Storms calling up thunder and light A premature grave overgrown by black lillies of night Hekate arise! Bring back the love of my life! Rain falls down, it soaks my cloak on this cold grey morning I missed the last train that could have me taken back to you! There‘s no use in staying here waiting for the dawning The fool just saddles up again as if he always knew that again he‘d hear the ravens cry.... |

I wanted to live on top of a mountain but it‘s cold and forsaken there without you now I wanted to dive into the ocean of love but I got shipwrecked on the shores of broken dreams For you I sang songs of the nightswan and each line I wrote was a beat of my heart Forever burning on love‘s funeral pyre: Stop beating now, my bleeding heart! For this knife did cut too deep so for the last time I‘m trying not to breathe Once there was a fire in the lighthouse of my heart: I gave you so much more than just my love and you broke so much more than just a promise Our planet vanished so devastatingly amongst the mists of time There was no treasure to be found at Rainbow‘s End somewhere behind Andromeda I‘ve been waiting til the end of december but no more will I ride for the winter solstice‘s child will pass away silently on a midsummer‘s night So may you come now, my Dead Romantic Angel serenade Kyrahnean Hymns to me Hold me in your arms cover me with elder flowers and take me down to my beloved sea I‘m so tired, so tremendously tired Please wait for me under the midnight sun where I will sing and dance again and my laughter will be heard echoing down the hillside again... Oh, how I tried to believe, how I loved, How I tried to hold on to my dream; How I wanted to live - but now I‘m going home to a place where love is more than just a four-letter word and as I kiss the memory of yours goodnight I‘m beginning to see the light... Ich liebe Dich für immer! |

Linger on, oh waning moon This midnight hour has come much too soon By the crystal lake we stand with our names in the sand Believe me, my Love I will wait for you And I will return if you still want me, too With the song of the nightswan And Ill be in heaven! The lark heralds the break of day No longer by my side can you stay In shrouded mists you disappear like a ghost bayadere Where are you my Love? Im calling your name This spell can be broke Love’s ignited the flame Like the song of the nightswan... Oh, believe me, my Love I will stand, laying siege to this fortress of time With the glory of you in my heart charge before the sun touches the rime The Beltane fires upon the hill Your hand in mine by the old water-mill Fairies sing our wedding song now the moon lingers on Stay with me, my Love my Angel, my Life I’ve walked this dark maze and now we will fly On the wings of the nightswan... |

3. | Trying Not to Breathe | 09:37 | Show lyrics |
Oh, this void inside tears my soul apart Why did you lie? I lost my faith in you! Once there was purity but now only perfidy and pain because you‘ve been untrue! You broke all promises and now our love is bound to die and so am I - I die! Lost forever within the debris of my dreams I put my trust in you! How could you leave me in a lurch after all that I‘ve gone through What the hell did you do? Down on my knees I pray: „Save me, save me, save me, please!“ but no hope anymore - I die! I‘m trying not to breathe! I can‘t stand this anymore therefore I‘ll leave I‘m trying not to breathe! And so I‘ll leave this world behind broken by faithlessness of the killing kind I‘m trying not to breathe! Remember when you called my name? I‘ve been always there for you! To me it‘s more than just a game I loved you too much, and still I do! Now your body‘s so close to mine I kiss your lips goodbye To lie in your arms for a last time before I die! And he dreams of days gone by Floating down to the other side A thousand Angels cry Firing squad against the walls of light Not again another day Now his love has lost the last stand Oh Angels, hear him pray As he‘s passing away into her hands! I‘m trying not to breathe! I can‘t stand your loss, your lies; therefore I‘ll leave I‘m trying not to breathe! and so I try to leave the pain behind of treason that became the killing kind I‘m trying not to breathe! But you swore you‘d love me forever and it was only yesterday What have I done to deserve this Am I destiny‘s fool? And I hate you, and I love you for what you‘ve done to me Oh shit, why did you leave me in such despair? I‘m trying not to breathe though I try so hard to reach the other side I‘m trying not to breathe No more songs for me to sing because you leave Now I think I see the light: Goodbye, my love! Oh, I‘m trying not to breathe |

Down in the gutter of broken hearts I lie in 8 months time died the love of my life Wounds cut so deep: Will I ever forget that you crept away like a thief in the night? And I‘m standing on top of a mountain Crying bereavement to the stars Will I make my way without you? Will I ever get over you? Oh, this room: it seems so strange now cause your laughter still echoes inside Withered roses will never bloom again Carry my weight: Those memories of you! Once I felt that you loved me These days are over, now we‘re through Our secret garden lost forever I never thought you could be that cruel In cold blood you walked away! I saw a shadow on the shadow of her smile Dream-like strains wake me up at night The memory of her presence faded long ago like a vanished trail of smoke I try in vain to recollect the time of a love that we once shared Fragments of her voice come haunting me at night How I wished I could turn back time Her name once written down in my diary now frozen between the lines Gone like last winters frostwork on the window-pane Will I ever understand? Still there‘s a shadow on the shadow of her smile Gates of time can never be crossed twice The frostwork of our love melted all away but when we die our songs remain! And comes the winter of our lives we‘re trying to keep us warm with the ashes of our fading memories Once frostwork‘s fallen on the ground You can never bring it back It‘s melting without sound Nights are so cold and empty without you Still your scent lingers on in my room Trying to set sails for a new horizon Trying to keep the candle alight! Still I‘m standing on top of the mountain with my soul floating to the stars Songs of love and loss while the night of this new moon does conceal my bleeding heart! No regrets - I won‘t look back in anger Even if it‘s so hard to forget Will I survive yet another dark winter til snow will melt and rivers do flow? And our time did not last forever Though our love it seemed so pure While I face the light of a new day Hope these memories fade away How I wished they‘d fade away! Take me down to the sea Take me to my last resort d‘Amour Take me down to the sea Down there my lover‘s waiting She has come for our last rendez-vous Singing, dancing, dreaming Drowning in the waves of tears that never dry Drowning in the waves of love that never dies |

8. | Our Last Show | 06:07 | Show lyrics |
And the rear lights of your car behind the trees they fade away walking inside somnambular there goes a lovelorn castaway Does it always have to be like this? I’ll never know Was it something that I said? You said: "I gotta go...." While leaving me back here with my memories and my tears You won’t reappear! Staring at the telephone Wondering if I’d try? I never knew that nights could be that long And still I hear your last good-bye Strange people on the screen, they try to make me laugh But everywhere I see your face and the photograph on the wall says that you’re gone And I’m waiting for the sun, keep dreaming on..... No fire in the lighthouse to guide me tonight Don’t know if our planet’s razed torn apart by love’s meteorite I know I will lose you How can I face another daylight? And I know this could ring down the curtain to our last show No second chance for Juliet and her Romeo No applause, no ovations, no bravissimo Please don’t go! |

9. | Forever I Ride | 09:00 | Show lyrics |
As the autumn wind blows hard in crawling devastation I was not prepared to find fate in a state of rage Love once seemed so strong to me, promising salvation another Tragedie d‘amour appearing on life‘s stage And again he hears the raven‘s cry.... I‘m strucked down without warning by your words like cyanide She left me in the morning but forever I will ride And forever I ride... Suddenly I‘m lost inside tremendous aberration Songs that used to make me glad now make me wanna cry Restlessly I‘m walking empty streets up to the station Standing there in silence as the trains keep passing by And he turns his face towards the sky... The stars fade in the dawning, but the door‘s still opened wide And still I am adorning, but forever I will ride And forever I ride.... In love from the first time that I saw you and the fire in your eyes Take me to your sea of flowers Hold me as the wind shakes the rye Lady of the Lake: I long to be with you Burning streams like ours cannot disband The mist it spreads your name in early morning dew Forever shall you be Queen of the Land Incense leaving trails of smoke A vision of us fasting our hands Angels laying siege to my heart and I shall not longer withstand Lady of the Lake: I long to be with you This love of ours will never ever end May the silver moon make all our dreams come true Forever shall you be Queen of the Land Hear the song of the waves Storms calling up thunder and light A premature grave overgrown by black lillies of night Hekate arise! Bring back the love of my life! Rain falls down, it soaks my cloak on this cold grey morning I missed the last train that could have me taken back to you! There‘s no use in staying here waiting for the dawning The fool just saddles up again as if he always knew that again he‘d hear the ravens cry.... |

10. | The Farewell | 04:36 | Show lyrics |
I wanted to live on top of a mountain but it‘s cold and forsaken there without you now I wanted to dive into the ocean of love but I got shipwrecked on the shores of broken dreams For you I sang songs of the nightswan and each line I wrote was a beat of my heart Forever burning on love‘s funeral pyre: Stop beating now, my bleeding heart! For this knife did cut too deep so for the last time I‘m trying not to breathe Once there was a fire in the lighthouse of my heart: I gave you so much more than just my love and you broke so much more than just a promise Our planet vanished so devastatingly amongst the mists of time There was no treasure to be found at Rainbow‘s End somewhere behind Andromeda I‘ve been waiting til the end of december but no more will I ride for the winter solstice‘s child will pass away silently on a midsummer‘s night So may you come now, my Dead Romantic Angel serenade Kyrahnean Hymns to me Hold me in your arms cover me with elder flowers and take me down to my beloved sea I‘m so tired, so tremendously tired Please wait for me under the midnight sun where I will sing and dance again and my laughter will be heard echoing down the hillside again... Oh, how I tried to believe, how I loved, How I tried to hold on to my dream; How I wanted to live - but now I‘m going home to a place where love is more than just a four-letter word and as I kiss the memory of yours goodnight I‘m beginning to see the light... Ich liebe Dich für immer! |

Linger on, oh waning moon This midnight hour has come much too soon By the crystal lake we stand with our names in the sand Believe me, my Love I will wait for you And I will return if you still want me, too With the song of the nightswan And Ill be in heaven! The lark heralds the break of day No longer by my side can you stay In shrouded mists you disappear like a ghost bayadere Where are you my Love? Im calling your name This spell can be broke Love’s ignited the flame Like the song of the nightswan... Oh, believe me, my Love I will stand, laying siege to this fortress of time With the glory of you in my heart charge before the sun touches the rime The Beltane fires upon the hill Your hand in mine by the old water-mill Fairies sing our wedding song now the moon lingers on Stay with me, my Love my Angel, my Life I’ve walked this dark maze and now we will fly On the wings of the nightswan... |

3. | Trying Not to Breathe | 09:37 | Show lyrics |
Oh, this void inside tears my soul apart Why did you lie? I lost my faith in you! Once there was purity but now only perfidy and pain because you‘ve been untrue! You broke all promises and now our love is bound to die and so am I - I die! Lost forever within the debris of my dreams I put my trust in you! How could you leave me in a lurch after all that I‘ve gone through What the hell did you do? Down on my knees I pray: „Save me, save me, save me, please!“ but no hope anymore - I die! I‘m trying not to breathe! I can‘t stand this anymore therefore I‘ll leave I‘m trying not to breathe! And so I‘ll leave this world behind broken by faithlessness of the killing kind I‘m trying not to breathe! Remember when you called my name? I‘ve been always there for you! To me it‘s more than just a game I loved you too much, and still I do! Now your body‘s so close to mine I kiss your lips goodbye To lie in your arms for a last time before I die! And he dreams of days gone by Floating down to the other side A thousand Angels cry Firing squad against the walls of light Not again another day Now his love has lost the last stand Oh Angels, hear him pray As he‘s passing away into her hands! I‘m trying not to breathe! I can‘t stand your loss, your lies; therefore I‘ll leave I‘m trying not to breathe! and so I try to leave the pain behind of treason that became the killing kind I‘m trying not to breathe! But you swore you‘d love me forever and it was only yesterday What have I done to deserve this Am I destiny‘s fool? And I hate you, and I love you for what you‘ve done to me Oh shit, why did you leave me in such despair? I‘m trying not to breathe though I try so hard to reach the other side I‘m trying not to breathe No more songs for me to sing because you leave Now I think I see the light: Goodbye, my love! Oh, I‘m trying not to breathe |

By the ocean I sat down one day Saw my life the other way All those trials to no avail Broken dreams was all I bloody gained Remember well when I was a child They promised me a paradise But promises turned into lies leaving us a world demise! Hold me in your arms Drown me in sweet moisture Lascivious fiery breath covering Your fangs softly penetrate the pleasure and the pain Dissolving I discern: I’m not dead! I asked for love, got a golden cage Plastic emotions in a plastic age The pain I felt they told me wasn‘t real „The Earth!“, I cried: My last appeal! Now it‘s my turn to realize To change the road, to change the side The past has gone, may it rest in peace A new dawn fades as She sows the seed Hold me in your arms Drown me in sweet moisture Lascivious fiery breath overflow Your fangs softly penetrate the pleasure and the pain Dissolving I discern: I’m alive! A midnight‘s dream disclosure saw momentous desire My life layed in your hands My confidence The background of reality just one step away Am I to cross the frontier? Am I to dare? In dreams I died a thousand times But then one dream: A golden shrine Her whispered words did soothe my grief What a candour in this world of thieves I hear the call of the roaring sea Still a fire‘s burning inside of me The wind shall take me to another shore The Earth I am, for evermore! Way down, carry me down to the ocean of love! Alone again I stand amongst the debris of a dream having to face once more the madness of love But I know that the Goddess will hear my yearning call and her enchanting song will make my heart dance |

Farewell, pretty one: It‘s all over now you‘ve gone After all that we went through, you left me when I needed you The times we shared, the good and bad, were the best I‘ve ever had, the best years of my life.... Farewell, pretty one: I‘ve put all my faith in you and I can‘t understand: Did you lie on that night you said you‘d never let me go? Oh, I believed each word you‘ve said I believed until the end It‘s so hard to realize you never wanted me that close by your side And the snow falls back in time down the hillside on our sledge we‘d ride We were laughing in the january sun And for a moment time stood still as we rode on and on and on.... Still the snow falls on Yule-tide falls forever on that dreary mountainside And the ghost of our love stands right above: A monument of your smile And our laughter that died so long ago lingers on and on and on... Never will I forget our last winter Never will I forget the last winter of our love! Goodbye, pretty one: You broke my heart twice, now I‘m done! You left me like a dream at the break of dawn and I almost died And even if you‘re lying now in someone else‘s arms I‘m still with you in a dream, in dreams of days gone by, the best days of my life Goodnight, my love, goodnight.... For we were dancing in the midnight sun our love became too wild I loved you like a child The fire went out, went out before dawn and I broke down and cried and I drowned and died |

Oh, you changed everything Nothing‘s the same anymore I see colours I‘ve never seen before I hear songs that make my heart sing with joy You set my heart on fire like it never burned before And I‘m sure that up there in the sky shine some new-born stars that were not known until tonight Can you hear me ground-control? I think I‘m lost in space Do you hear me ground-control? An unknown planet appears on my screen.... Never thought I‘d be an astronaut Never thought I‘d leave the earth Never thought I‘d fly so high Break through the sky while you hold me in your embrace And as the air starts getting thin Your lips on mine: exchanging love‘s oxygen And the last call they receive: Our capsule vanishing somewhere behind Andromeda.... We can‘t hear you ground-control! I think we‘re lost in space! We can‘t hear you anymore! An unknown planet appears on our screen.... I‘ll meet you tonight on Planet Kyrah! I‘ll kiss you tonight on Planet Kyrah! |

7. | The Sea | 13:12 | Show lyrics |
Down in the gutter of broken hearts I lie in 8 months time died the love of my life Wounds cut so deep: Will I ever forget that you crept away like a thief in the night? And I‘m standing on top of a mountain Crying bereavement to the stars Will I make my way without you? Will I ever get over you? Oh, this room: it seems so strange now cause your laughter still echoes inside Withered roses will never bloom again Carry my weight: Those memories of you! Once I felt that you loved me These days are over, now we‘re through Our secret garden lost forever I never thought you could be that cruel In cold blood you walked away! I saw a shadow on the shadow of her smile Dream-like strains wake me up at night The memory of her presence faded long ago like a vanished trail of smoke I try in vain to recollect the time of a love that we once shared Fragments of her voice come haunting me at night How I wished I could turn back time Her name once written down in my diary now frozen between the lines Gone like last winters frostwork on the window-pane Will I ever understand? Still there‘s a shadow on the shadow of her smile Gates of time can never be crossed twice The frostwork of our love melted all away but when we die our songs remain! And comes the winter of our lives we‘re trying to keep us warm with the ashes of our fading memories Once frostwork‘s fallen on the ground You can never bring it back It‘s melting without sound Nights are so cold and empty without you Still your scent lingers on in my room Trying to set sails for a new horizon Trying to keep the candle alight! Still I‘m standing on top of the mountain with my soul floating to the stars Songs of love and loss while the night of this new moon does conceal my bleeding heart! No regrets - I won‘t look back in anger Even if it‘s so hard to forget Will I survive yet another dark winter til snow will melt and rivers do flow? And our time did not last forever Though our love it seemed so pure While I face the light of a new day Hope these memories fade away How I wished they‘d fade away! Take me down to the sea Take me to my last resort d‘Amour Take me down to the sea Down there my lover‘s waiting She has come for our last rendez-vous Singing, dancing, dreaming Drowning in the waves of tears that never dry Drowning in the waves of love that never dies |

I wanted to live on top of a mountain but it‘s cold and forsaken there without you now I wanted to dive into the ocean of love but I got shipwrecked on the shores of broken dreams For you I sang songs of the nightswan and each line I wrote was a beat of my heart Forever burning on love‘s funeral pyre: Stop beating now, my bleeding heart! For this knife did cut too deep so for the last time I‘m trying not to breathe Once there was a fire in the lighthouse of my heart: I gave you so much more than just my love and you broke so much more than just a promise Our planet vanished so devastatingly amongst the mists of time There was no treasure to be found at Rainbow‘s End somewhere behind Andromeda I‘ve been waiting til the end of december but no more will I ride for the winter solstice‘s child will pass away silently on a midsummer‘s night So may you come now, my Dead Romantic Angel serenade Kyrahnean Hymns to me Hold me in your arms cover me with elder flowers and take me down to my beloved sea I‘m so tired, so tremendously tired Please wait for me under the midnight sun where I will sing and dance again and my laughter will be heard echoing down the hillside again... Oh, how I tried to believe, how I loved, How I tried to hold on to my dream; How I wanted to live - but now I‘m going home to a place where love is more than just a four-letter word and as I kiss the memory of yours goodnight I‘m beginning to see the light... Ich liebe Dich für immer! |

People who don’t know their names lurking behind window frames Trying to control our lifes Envy, spite and jealousy of all those longing to be free Stabbing them with hideous knives Intolerance and arrogance combined with bloody ignorance Don’t listen to a single word Tired of their stupid lies Trickery and alibis Their issues are just too absurd Don’t you tell me not to grind But I’m blinded by the thickness of mankind I got a hole in my head Seems like we’re better off dead We gotta find a solution For this bitter contribution Things are getting serious small minds become delirious Don’t they see it’s so insane All obsessed with hate and war what else they think’s worth fighting for Peek-A-Booh: A madman’s game! Pied piper’s waiting at the door to tell them they’re superior Dancing to his lethal tune Oh, the crown of evolution needs some kind of revolution otherwise it’s over soon So you tell me not to blow my fuse But I’m quite aware of your abuse I got a hole in my head Seems like we’re better off dead We gotta find a solution For this bitter contribution Find shelter in my arms tonight There’s only you and me and everything’s allright If there’s just one thing that’s true then it’s my love for you I’ll never let you go And I don’t care what they say As long as you stay in our love’s afterglow Still you believe it’ll work out fine While heading for the ultimate deadline I got a hole in my head Seems like we’re better off dead We gotta find a solution For this bitter contribution |

2. | Carry Me Down | 06:09 | Show lyrics |
By the ocean I sat down one day Saw my life the other way All those trials to no avail Broken dreams was all I gained Well, when I was a child They promised me a paradise Promises turned into lies leaving us a world demise! Way down, carry me down to the ocean of love I asked for love, a golden cage No emotions in this age The pain I felt it wasn’t real "The Earth!", I cried: My last appeal! It’s my turn to realize To change the road, change the side Past has gone, rest in peace Goddess sows the seed Way down.... Hold me in your arms Drown me in sweet moisture Lascivious fiery breath overflow.... Your fangs softly penetrate the pleasure and the pain Dissolving I discern: Im alive! In dreams I died a thousand times Then one dream: A golden shrine Whispered words soothed my grief Candour in a world of thieves The call of the roaring sea Fire burn inside of me Wind take me to her shore The Earth I am, for evermore! Way down..... I asked for love, a golden cage No emotions in this age The pain I felt it wasn’t real The Earth!, I cried: My last appeal! It’s my turn to realize To change the road, change the side Past has gone, rest in peace Goddess sows the seed Way down.... Hold me in your arms Drown me in sweet moisture Lascivious fiery breath covering.... Your fangs softly penetrate the pleasure and the pain Dissolving I discern: Im alive! A midnight’s dream disclosure saw momentous desire My life layed in your hands, My confidence.... The background of reality just one step away Am I to cross the frontier? Am I to dare? By the ocean I sat down one day Saw my life the other way All those trials to no avail Broken dreams was all I gained Well, when I was a child They promised me a paradise Promises turned into lies leaving us a world demise! Way down... In dreams I died a thousand times Then one dream: A golden shrine Whispered words soothed my grief Candour in a world of thieves The call of the roaring sea Fire burn inside of me Wind take me to her shore The Earth I am, for evermore! Way down... Alone again I cried amongst the debris of a dream I had to face once more the madness of love But now that my Angel received my yearning call her enchanting song will make my heart dance! |

A gathering at night A knock-knock on the door Dressed in a red cloak Her eyes gleaming with delight The moment she’s been waiting for finally arrived Sister’s waiting for her While the stars are shining bright Incubus and succubus The evil foe has cursed on us The Demons rise on Hallowmass Oh, this devilishness... A plague came over us again striking down my fellow-men The priest became a scatterbrain My word for it, Mister! The churchyard it came tumbling down The king of kings: A brainless clown The prior stuck in the eiderdown and I had to witness! The piper played a dancing tune and all came out on Harvest Moon Altars staying unillumed and women sinister! Now she’s awake Dancing in the firelight The dragon’s call resounds The serpent’s kiss ignites The fire of love The dawning of a new day Oh, sister of the night You’re the light of the world Spellbound they’re screaming in the street How could we fall? Oh, this defeat... The ruthless on the losing streak We are so wasted! So stupid that we did not see How all those things should really be The eyesore of humanity a flawed mastermind! What once seemed apprehensible has turned into dispensible because of being nonsensical We should have been basted! But now we’ve come to realize the senselessness of alibis and squander of self-sacrifice so deaf, dull and blind! We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the weavers, we are the web We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the witches back from the dead See me, I am life and it’s your birthright to walk proud and strong Come dance with the tide We’ve been there before And we shall return for now and evermore now and evermore... We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the weavers, we are the web We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the witches back from the dead Up on the hill she peers down by the sea she waits Her sisters gathering by her side until disturbance dies It was another case of self-fulfilling prophecy Those faithful believers submerging in their agony Did they really think their deeds justified abysmal greed ignoring all the human needs A ploy of indulgence! Insane with egomania vampires from Transylvania spiritual pyromania ashes to ashes... Obsessed with their morbidity the morons of stupidity caused nothing but sheer faggery A lack of common sense! Their madness turned to matricide religious sort of cyanide We salute your suicide: Your kingdom crashes! We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the weavers, we are the web We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the witches back from the dead We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the weavers, we are the web We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the witches back from the dead |

Longing for the one Who’s gotta be out there somewhere Far in Avalon Where are you that for I dare? Scratching at doors of hearts Not even close to what I wish Too many times torn apart Like it’s so womanish Waiting for the one and only soulmate A life of love to create Thousands of years ago You were made for me, you know No damn understanding Could you save me from this harm? Sadness’ so demanding All my soul set on alarm Running over quicksand Followed by the evil-eyed But no chance for wasteland When our stars collide! Waiting for the one and only soulmate A life of love to create Thousands of years ago You were made for me, you know Wasteland Only one key to leave the wasteland Wasteland Only one key to leave the wasteland |

5. | Like the Stars | 07:56 | Show lyrics |
So it was late that thursday night you were coming around His words a thorn in your flesh, your head a merry-go-round We were talking side by side about the things that come and done and you began to realize that he was always on the run In this black bedsit of yours, well it occured to me that I’ve known you for years, not just momentarily And when you said you were tired, and your eyes filled with tears I looked straight into your heart but where do we go from here? And as we were stepping out After midnight The silver lining of a cloud Under starlight For once again I felt alive Will you stay with me tonight? Tonight we’re falling like the stars When ever we fade, where ever we are I spend my last flare up on you Until these dreams of ours come true Midnight burning blue.... From the shore the ice cold wind blew hard into my face rain was beating down, the past beginning to unlace Inside my soul it felt warm, though the night was wet and cold And as the storm arose I dreamt of being with you so close I didn’t know what you would do but I believed your aim was true from the look in your face - some kind of strange witches’ brew Waiting, anticipating your return Our love feels so strong and in this fire we will burn A butterfly, fragile and cold The breath of love His wings beginning to unfold Came from above This time I know it is for real Let’s touch the skies tonight! Tonight we’re falling like the stars When ever we fade, where ever we are I spend my last flare up on you Until these dreams of ours come true Midnight burning blue.... My Love, Angel and Light of my life I will stay forever by your side Come to me when nights are getting cold I’ll be there for you to hold and Dive with me into the sea Drown me in the water of love Sail with me between the stars And love me, love me, love me till the end... And as we were stepping out After midnight The silver lining of a cloud Under starlight For once again I felt alive Will you stay with me - eternally? Tonight we’re falling like the stars When ever we fade, where ever we are I spend my last flare up on you Until these dreams of ours come true Midnight burning blue.... |

"Where do I go from here?" I inquired For I could not longer tell the way This bane did leave me overtired Got punctured by preposterous ricochet A camouflage of lack of faith: The order of the senseless strikes again! Words were spoken, lies were told My broken bones displayed in acid rain Mission terminated while you wait Her flowers burning in a blaze of rage Another cardboard-box that stays unlaid I’ve had enough; I quit No, I won’t give a damn no more! As autumn leaves do fall Anticipating rime to freeze my core Walking in the footsteps of the night lost like a voiceless troubadour Behold the yearning of your heart obtaining my love in a trice Come dry your tears: Our lifes’ about to start at the gates of Paradise! Paint the sky with stars and let us ride Every raindrop floats my love to you Soaking wet but feeling warm inside The sunlight radiates on mountain dew For a moment I perceive A flying visit of days gone by And looking back I can’t believe There had been times I wished I would die! Evening sun sets the lake on fire Dragonflies are hanging in the air From afar the chanting of white friars The altar of our love is everywhere! Hold me in your arms tonight Promise me you’ll never let me go! Take my hand, we’re out of sight Escaping from this world’s seraglio... Behold the yearning of your heart obtaining my love in a trice Come dry your tears: Our life’s about to start at the gates of Paradise! |

And still the seagulls fly under a leaden sky As if nothing had changed and my life was still the same No longer here with me I watch the roaring sea I think of times gone by and how we used to laugh and cry Now on my own again A lonesome highway man throwing stones against the waves of time and cursing auld lang syne But once the sun did shine upon the mountain thyme The wind caressed your hair and there was magic everywhere Then rain came falling down and the red-painted town lost its colour and went grey the day you went away Something inside calls me tonight out on these bare hills again Something inside Wish I could hide from the pain A lonely seagull flies as sunset sets the skies on fire but I don’t care no more since my love went sore If I had wings to fly I guess that I would try flying faster than the speed of light to leave all this behind What have I become? Now the broken one running through the night just tryin’ to keep the flame alight Oh, gaels come carry me far across the sea where the angels lie amongst the placid fields of rye Something inside calls me tonight out on these bare hills again Something inside Wish I could hide from the pain L’amore mia sempre e´ con te Nostra eternita´ Lei ci guardera´ But once the sun did shine upon the mountain thyme The wind caressed your hair and there was magic everywhere Then rain came falling down and the red-painted town lost its colour and went grey the day you went away Something inside calls me tonight out on these bare hills again Something inside Wish I could hide from the pain |

9. | Goodbye to Jane | 06:38 | Show lyrics |
See the girl on the floor as she’s watching the rain Like sallow tracks of blood running down Scattered over the floor the sheets painted in black Showing a fettered, mouthless child Her mother’s gone shopping and she prays for her daddy not to come home But for Jane’s prayers no god gives a damn: Her daddy is back to play with Jane! She closes her eyes to break away from the girl lying raped and abused on the ground No use to commit herself to anyone for who’d believe Jane? She feels hate for being treated that way: Is it her fault daddy’s playing these games? She tries in vain to think of something she might have done wrong See the girl on the floor: She can’t bear it no more Lewdy hands defiling her skin A life like that means not much to Jane: The belt round her neck gently takes her away He’s closing the door for she seems asleep Those sickening games won’t be played any more! No-one could explain what happened to Jane: She was only one in a million girls... Goodbye to Jane Goodbye to Jane Goodbye to Jane |

1. | Hole in My Head | 05:39 | Show lyrics |
People who don’t know their names lurking behind window frames Trying to control our lifes Envy, spite and jealousy of all those longing to be free Stabbing them with hideous knives Intolerance and arrogance combined with bloody ignorance Don’t listen to a single word Tired of their stupid lies Trickery and alibis Their issues are just too absurd Don’t you tell me not to grind But I’m blinded by the thickness of mankind I got a hole in my head Seems like we’re better off dead We gotta find a solution For this bitter contribution Things are getting serious small minds become delirious Don’t they see it’s so insane All obsessed with hate and war what else they think’s worth fighting for Peek-A-Booh: A madman’s game! Pied piper’s waiting at the door to tell them they’re superior Dancing to his lethal tune Oh, the crown of evolution needs some kind of revolution otherwise it’s over soon So you tell me not to blow my fuse But I’m quite aware of your abuse I got a hole in my head Seems like we’re better off dead We gotta find a solution For this bitter contribution Find shelter in my arms tonight There’s only you and me and everything’s allright If there’s just one thing that’s true then it’s my love for you I’ll never let you go And I don’t care what they say As long as you stay in our love’s afterglow Still you believe it’ll work out fine While heading for the ultimate deadline I got a hole in my head Seems like we’re better off dead We gotta find a solution For this bitter contribution |

2. | Carry Me Down | 06:09 | Show lyrics |
By the ocean I sat down one day Saw my life the other way All those trials to no avail Broken dreams was all I gained Well, when I was a child They promised me a paradise Promises turned into lies leaving us a world demise! Way down, carry me down to the ocean of love I asked for love, a golden cage No emotions in this age The pain I felt it wasn’t real "The Earth!", I cried: My last appeal! It’s my turn to realize To change the road, change the side Past has gone, rest in peace Goddess sows the seed Way down.... Hold me in your arms Drown me in sweet moisture Lascivious fiery breath overflow.... Your fangs softly penetrate the pleasure and the pain Dissolving I discern: Im alive! In dreams I died a thousand times Then one dream: A golden shrine Whispered words soothed my grief Candour in a world of thieves The call of the roaring sea Fire burn inside of me Wind take me to her shore The Earth I am, for evermore! Way down..... I asked for love, a golden cage No emotions in this age The pain I felt it wasn’t real The Earth!, I cried: My last appeal! It’s my turn to realize To change the road, change the side Past has gone, rest in peace Goddess sows the seed Way down.... Hold me in your arms Drown me in sweet moisture Lascivious fiery breath covering.... Your fangs softly penetrate the pleasure and the pain Dissolving I discern: Im alive! A midnight’s dream disclosure saw momentous desire My life layed in your hands, My confidence.... The background of reality just one step away Am I to cross the frontier? Am I to dare? By the ocean I sat down one day Saw my life the other way All those trials to no avail Broken dreams was all I gained Well, when I was a child They promised me a paradise Promises turned into lies leaving us a world demise! Way down... In dreams I died a thousand times Then one dream: A golden shrine Whispered words soothed my grief Candour in a world of thieves The call of the roaring sea Fire burn inside of me Wind take me to her shore The Earth I am, for evermore! Way down... Alone again I cried amongst the debris of a dream I had to face once more the madness of love But now that my Angel received my yearning call her enchanting song will make my heart dance! |

A gathering at night A knock-knock on the door Dressed in a red cloak Her eyes gleaming with delight The moment she’s been waiting for finally arrived Sister’s waiting for her While the stars are shining bright Incubus and succubus The evil foe has cursed on us The Demons rise on Hallowmass Oh, this devilishness... A plague came over us again striking down my fellow-men The priest became a scatterbrain My word for it, Mister! The churchyard it came tumbling down The king of kings: A brainless clown The prior stuck in the eiderdown and I had to witness! The piper played a dancing tune and all came out on Harvest Moon Altars staying unillumed and women sinister! Now she’s awake Dancing in the firelight The dragon’s call resounds The serpent’s kiss ignites The fire of love The dawning of a new day Oh, sister of the night You’re the light of the world Spellbound they’re screaming in the street How could we fall? Oh, this defeat... The ruthless on the losing streak We are so wasted! So stupid that we did not see How all those things should really be The eyesore of humanity a flawed mastermind! What once seemed apprehensible has turned into dispensible because of being nonsensical We should have been basted! But now we’ve come to realize the senselessness of alibis and squander of self-sacrifice so deaf, dull and blind! We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the weavers, we are the web We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the witches back from the dead See me, I am life and it’s your birthright to walk proud and strong Come dance with the tide We’ve been there before And we shall return for now and evermore now and evermore... We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the weavers, we are the web We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the witches back from the dead Up on the hill she peers down by the sea she waits Her sisters gathering by her side until disturbance dies It was another case of self-fulfilling prophecy Those faithful believers submerging in their agony Did they really think their deeds justified abysmal greed ignoring all the human needs A ploy of indulgence! Insane with egomania vampires from Transylvania spiritual pyromania ashes to ashes... Obsessed with their morbidity the morons of stupidity caused nothing but sheer faggery A lack of common sense! Their madness turned to matricide religious sort of cyanide We salute your suicide: Your kingdom crashes! We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the weavers, we are the web We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the witches back from the dead We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the weavers, we are the web We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the witches back from the dead |

4. | Wasteland | 05:11 | Show lyrics |
Longing for the one Who’s gotta be out there somewhere Far in Avalon Where are you that for I dare? Scratching at doors of hearts Not even close to what I wish Too many times torn apart Like it’s so womanish Waiting for the one and only soulmate A life of love to create Thousands of years ago You were made for me, you know No damn understanding Could you save me from this harm? Sadness’ so demanding All my soul set on alarm Running over quicksand Followed by the evil-eyed But no chance for wasteland When our stars collide! Waiting for the one and only soulmate A life of love to create Thousands of years ago You were made for me, you know Wasteland Only one key to leave the wasteland Wasteland Only one key to leave the wasteland |

5. | Like the Stars | 07:56 | Show lyrics |
So it was late that thursday night you were coming around His words a thorn in your flesh, your head a merry-go-round We were talking side by side about the things that come and done and you began to realize that he was always on the run In this black bedsit of yours, well it occured to me that I’ve known you for years, not just momentarily And when you said you were tired, and your eyes filled with tears I looked straight into your heart but where do we go from here? And as we were stepping out After midnight The silver lining of a cloud Under starlight For once again I felt alive Will you stay with me tonight? Tonight we’re falling like the stars When ever we fade, where ever we are I spend my last flare up on you Until these dreams of ours come true Midnight burning blue.... From the shore the ice cold wind blew hard into my face rain was beating down, the past beginning to unlace Inside my soul it felt warm, though the night was wet and cold And as the storm arose I dreamt of being with you so close I didn’t know what you would do but I believed your aim was true from the look in your face - some kind of strange witches’ brew Waiting, anticipating your return Our love feels so strong and in this fire we will burn A butterfly, fragile and cold The breath of love His wings beginning to unfold Came from above This time I know it is for real Let’s touch the skies tonight! Tonight we’re falling like the stars When ever we fade, where ever we are I spend my last flare up on you Until these dreams of ours come true Midnight burning blue.... My Love, Angel and Light of my life I will stay forever by your side Come to me when nights are getting cold I’ll be there for you to hold and Dive with me into the sea Drown me in the water of love Sail with me between the stars And love me, love me, love me till the end... And as we were stepping out After midnight The silver lining of a cloud Under starlight For once again I felt alive Will you stay with me - eternally? Tonight we’re falling like the stars When ever we fade, where ever we are I spend my last flare up on you Until these dreams of ours come true Midnight burning blue.... |

6. | Gates of Paradise | 05:34 | Show lyrics |
"Where do I go from here?" I inquired For I could not longer tell the way This bane did leave me overtired Got punctured by preposterous ricochet A camouflage of lack of faith: The order of the senseless strikes again! Words were spoken, lies were told My broken bones displayed in acid rain Mission terminated while you wait Her flowers burning in a blaze of rage Another cardboard-box that stays unlaid I’ve had enough; I quit No, I won’t give a damn no more! As autumn leaves do fall Anticipating rime to freeze my core Walking in the footsteps of the night lost like a voiceless troubadour Behold the yearning of your heart obtaining my love in a trice Come dry your tears: Our lifes’ about to start at the gates of Paradise! Paint the sky with stars and let us ride Every raindrop floats my love to you Soaking wet but feeling warm inside The sunlight radiates on mountain dew For a moment I perceive A flying visit of days gone by And looking back I can’t believe There had been times I wished I would die! Evening sun sets the lake on fire Dragonflies are hanging in the air From afar the chanting of white friars The altar of our love is everywhere! Hold me in your arms tonight Promise me you’ll never let me go! Take my hand, we’re out of sight Escaping from this world’s seraglio... Behold the yearning of your heart obtaining my love in a trice Come dry your tears: Our life’s about to start at the gates of Paradise! |

7. | Something Inside | 05:10 | Show lyrics |
And still the seagulls fly under a leaden sky As if nothing had changed and my life was still the same No longer here with me I watch the roaring sea I think of times gone by and how we used to laugh and cry Now on my own again A lonesome highway man throwing stones against the waves of time and cursing auld lang syne But once the sun did shine upon the mountain thyme The wind caressed your hair and there was magic everywhere Then rain came falling down and the red-painted town lost its colour and went grey the day you went away Something inside calls me tonight out on these bare hills again Something inside Wish I could hide from the pain A lonely seagull flies as sunset sets the skies on fire but I don’t care no more since my love went sore If I had wings to fly I guess that I would try flying faster than the speed of light to leave all this behind What have I become? Now the broken one running through the night just tryin’ to keep the flame alight Oh, gaels come carry me far across the sea where the angels lie amongst the placid fields of rye Something inside calls me tonight out on these bare hills again Something inside Wish I could hide from the pain L’amore mia sempre e´ con te Nostra eternita´ Lei ci guardera´ But once the sun did shine upon the mountain thyme The wind caressed your hair and there was magic everywhere Then rain came falling down and the red-painted town lost its colour and went grey the day you went away Something inside calls me tonight out on these bare hills again Something inside Wish I could hide from the pain |

9. | Goodbye to Jane | 06:38 | Show lyrics |
See the girl on the floor as she’s watching the rain Like sallow tracks of blood running down Scattered over the floor the sheets painted in black Showing a fettered, mouthless child Her mother’s gone shopping and she prays for her daddy not to come home But for Jane’s prayers no god gives a damn: Her daddy is back to play with Jane! She closes her eyes to break away from the girl lying raped and abused on the ground No use to commit herself to anyone for who’d believe Jane? She feels hate for being treated that way: Is it her fault daddy’s playing these games? She tries in vain to think of something she might have done wrong See the girl on the floor: She can’t bear it no more Lewdy hands defiling her skin A life like that means not much to Jane: The belt round her neck gently takes her away He’s closing the door for she seems asleep Those sickening games won’t be played any more! No-one could explain what happened to Jane: She was only one in a million girls... Goodbye to Jane Goodbye to Jane Goodbye to Jane |

Way down, carry me down to the ocean of love I asked for love, a golden cage No emotions in this age The pain I felt it wasn’t real "The Earth!", I cried: My last appeal! It’s my turn to realize To change the road, change the side Past has gone, rest in peace Goddess sows the seed Way down.... Hold me in your arms Drown me in sweet moisture Lascivious fiery breath overflow.... Your fangs softly penetrate the pleasure and the pain Dissolving I discern: Im alive! In dreams I died a thousand times Then one dream: A golden shrine Whispered words soothed my grief Candour in a world of thieves The call of the roaring sea Fire burn inside of me Wind take me to her shore The Earth I am, for evermore! Way down..... I asked for love, a golden cage No emotions in this age The pain I felt it wasn’t real The Earth!, I cried: My last appeal! It’s my turn to realize To change the road, change the side Past has gone, rest in peace Goddess sows the seed Way down.... Hold me in your arms Drown me in sweet moisture Lascivious fiery breath covering.... Your fangs softly penetrate the pleasure and the pain Dissolving I discern: Im alive! A midnight’s dream disclosure saw momentous desire My life layed in your hands, My confidence.... The background of reality just one step away Am I to cross the frontier? Am I to dare? By the ocean I sat down one day Saw my life the other way All those trials to no avail Broken dreams was all I gained Well, when I was a child They promised me a paradise Promises turned into lies leaving us a world demise! Way down... In dreams I died a thousand times Then one dream: A golden shrine Whispered words soothed my grief Candour in a world of thieves The call of the roaring sea Fire burn inside of me Wind take me to her shore The Earth I am, for evermore! Way down... Alone again I cried amongst the debris of a dream I had to face once more the madness of love But now that my Angel received my yearning call her enchanting song will make my heart dance! |

A gathering at night A knock-knock on the door Dressed in a red cloak Her eyes gleaming with delight The moment she’s been waiting for finally arrived Sister’s waiting for her While the stars are shining bright Incubus and succubus The evil foe has cursed on us The Demons rise on Hallowmass Oh, this devilishness... A plague came over us again striking down my fellow-men The priest became a scatterbrain My word for it, Mister! The churchyard it came tumbling down The king of kings: A brainless clown The prior stuck in the eiderdown and I had to witness! The piper played a dancing tune and all came out on Harvest Moon Altars staying unillumed and women sinister! Now she’s awake Dancing in the firelight The dragon’s call resounds The serpent’s kiss ignites The fire of love The dawning of a new day Oh, sister of the night You’re the light of the world Spellbound they’re screaming in the street How could we fall? Oh, this defeat... The ruthless on the losing streak We are so wasted! So stupid that we did not see How all those things should really be The eyesore of humanity a flawed mastermind! What once seemed apprehensible has turned into dispensible because of being nonsensical We should have been basted! But now we’ve come to realize the senselessness of alibis and squander of self-sacrifice so deaf, dull and blind! We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the weavers, we are the web We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the witches back from the dead See me, I am life and it’s your birthright to walk proud and strong Come dance with the tide We’ve been there before And we shall return for now and evermore now and evermore... We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the weavers, we are the web We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the witches back from the dead Up on the hill she peers down by the sea she waits Her sisters gathering by her side until disturbance dies It was another case of self-fulfilling prophecy Those faithful believers submerging in their agony Did they really think their deeds justified abysmal greed ignoring all the human needs A ploy of indulgence! Insane with egomania vampires from Transylvania spiritual pyromania ashes to ashes... Obsessed with their morbidity the morons of stupidity caused nothing but sheer faggery A lack of common sense! Their madness turned to matricide religious sort of cyanide We salute your suicide: Your kingdom crashes! We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the weavers, we are the web We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the witches back from the dead We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the weavers, we are the web We are the flow, we are the ebb We are the witches back from the dead |

Longing for the one Who’s gotta be out there somewhere Far in Avalon Where are you that for I dare? Scratching at doors of hearts Not even close to what I wish Too many times torn apart Like it’s so womanish Waiting for the one and only soulmate A life of love to create Thousands of years ago You were made for me, you know No damn understanding Could you save me from this harm? Sadness’ so demanding All my soul set on alarm Running over quicksand Followed by the evil-eyed But no chance for wasteland When our stars collide! Waiting for the one and only soulmate A life of love to create Thousands of years ago You were made for me, you know Wasteland Only one key to leave the wasteland Wasteland Only one key to leave the wasteland |

So it was late that thursday night you were coming around His words a thorn in your flesh, your head a merry-go-round We were talking side by side about the things that come and done and you began to realize that he was always on the run In this black bedsit of yours, well it occured to me that I’ve known you for years, not just momentarily And when you said you were tired, and your eyes filled with tears I looked straight into your heart but where do we go from here? And as we were stepping out After midnight The silver lining of a cloud Under starlight For once again I felt alive Will you stay with me tonight? Tonight we’re falling like the stars When ever we fade, where ever we are I spend my last flare up on you Until these dreams of ours come true Midnight burning blue.... From the shore the ice cold wind blew hard into my face rain was beating down, the past beginning to unlace Inside my soul it felt warm, though the night was wet and cold And as the storm arose I dreamt of being with you so close I didn’t know what you would do but I believed your aim was true from the look in your face - some kind of strange witches’ brew Waiting, anticipating your return Our love feels so strong and in this fire we will burn A butterfly, fragile and cold The breath of love His wings beginning to unfold Came from above This time I know it is for real Let’s touch the skies tonight! Tonight we’re falling like the stars When ever we fade, where ever we are I spend my last flare up on you Until these dreams of ours come true Midnight burning blue.... My Love, Angel and Light of my life I will stay forever by your side Come to me when nights are getting cold I’ll be there for you to hold and Dive with me into the sea Drown me in the water of love Sail with me between the stars And love me, love me, love me till the end... And as we were stepping out After midnight The silver lining of a cloud Under starlight For once again I felt alive Will you stay with me - eternally? Tonight we’re falling like the stars When ever we fade, where ever we are I spend my last flare up on you Until these dreams of ours come true Midnight burning blue.... |

"Where do I go from here?" I inquired For I could not longer tell the way This bane did leave me overtired Got punctured by preposterous ricochet A camouflage of lack of faith: The order of the senseless strikes again! Words were spoken, lies were told My broken bones displayed in acid rain Mission terminated while you wait Her flowers burning in a blaze of rage Another cardboard-box that stays unlaid I’ve had enough; I quit No, I won’t give a damn no more! As autumn leaves do fall Anticipating rime to freeze my core Walking in the footsteps of the night lost like a voiceless troubadour Behold the yearning of your heart obtaining my love in a trice Come dry your tears: Our lifes’ about to start at the gates of Paradise! Paint the sky with stars and let us ride Every raindrop floats my love to you Soaking wet but feeling warm inside The sunlight radiates on mountain dew For a moment I perceive A flying visit of days gone by And looking back I can’t believe There had been times I wished I would die! Evening sun sets the lake on fire Dragonflies are hanging in the air From afar the chanting of white friars The altar of our love is everywhere! Hold me in your arms tonight Promise me you’ll never let me go! Take my hand, we’re out of sight Escaping from this world’s seraglio... Behold the yearning of your heart obtaining my love in a trice Come dry your tears: Our life’s about to start at the gates of Paradise! |

And still the seagulls fly under a leaden sky As if nothing had changed and my life was still the same No longer here with me I watch the roaring sea I think of times gone by and how we used to laugh and cry Now on my own again A lonesome highway man throwing stones against the waves of time and cursing auld lang syne But once the sun did shine upon the mountain thyme The wind caressed your hair and there was magic everywhere Then rain came falling down and the red-painted town lost its colour and went grey the day you went away Something inside calls me tonight out on these bare hills again Something inside Wish I could hide from the pain A lonely seagull flies as sunset sets the skies on fire but I don’t care no more since my love went sore If I had wings to fly I guess that I would try flying faster than the speed of light to leave all this behind What have I become? Now the broken one running through the night just tryin’ to keep the flame alight Oh, gaels come carry me far across the sea where the angels lie amongst the placid fields of rye Something inside calls me tonight out on these bare hills again Something inside Wish I could hide from the pain L’amore mia sempre e´ con te Nostra eternita´ Lei ci guardera´ But once the sun did shine upon the mountain thyme The wind caressed your hair and there was magic everywhere Then rain came falling down and the red-painted town lost its colour and went grey the day you went away Something inside calls me tonight out on these bare hills again Something inside Wish I could hide from the pain |

9. | Goodbye to Jane | 06:38 | Show lyrics |
See the girl on the floor as she’s watching the rain Like sallow tracks of blood running down Scattered over the floor the sheets painted in black Showing a fettered, mouthless child Her mother’s gone shopping and she prays for her daddy not to come home But for Jane’s prayers no god gives a damn: Her daddy is back to play with Jane! She closes her eyes to break away from the girl lying raped and abused on the ground No use to commit herself to anyone for who’d believe Jane? She feels hate for being treated that way: Is it her fault daddy’s playing these games? She tries in vain to think of something she might have done wrong See the girl on the floor: She can’t bear it no more Lewdy hands defiling her skin A life like that means not much to Jane: The belt round her neck gently takes her away He’s closing the door for she seems asleep Those sickening games won’t be played any more! No-one could explain what happened to Jane: She was only one in a million girls... Goodbye to Jane Goodbye to Jane Goodbye to Jane |

1. | Hole in My Head | 05:39 | Show lyrics |
People who don’t know their names lurking behind window frames Trying to control our lifes Envy, spite and jealousy of all those longing to be free Stabbing them with hideous knives Intolerance and arrogance combined with bloody ignorance Don’t listen to a single word Tired of their stupid lies Trickery and alibis Their issues are just too absurd Don’t you tell me not to grind But I’m blinded by the thickness of mankind I got a hole in my head Seems like we’re better off dead We gotta find a solution For this bitter contribution Things are getting serious small minds become delirious Don’t they see it’s so insane All obsessed with hate and war what else they think’s worth fighting for Peek-A-Booh: A madman’s game! Pied piper’s waiting at the door to tell them they’re superior Dancing to his lethal tune Oh, the crown of evolution needs some kind of revolution otherwise it’s over soon So you tell me not to blow my fuse But I’m quite aware of your abuse I got a hole in my head Seems like we’re better off dead We gotta find a solution For this bitter contribution Find shelter in my arms tonight There’s only you and me and everything’s allright If there’s just one thing that’s true then it’s my love for you I’ll never let you go And I don’t care what they say As long as you stay in our love’s afterglow Still you believe it’ll work out fine While heading for the ultimate deadline I got a hole in my head Seems like we’re better off dead We gotta find a solution For this bitter contribution |

When the moon kissed the silent lake The nightwind called us A place too crowded, much too full and loud We better leave now I saw you standing in the lamplight forlorn We gotta get away Desolation is the price they’ll pay Now that we’re on our own They predicted our future but they turned heaven into hell in no time by giving us the heebie-jeebies while they’re driving with full headlight Here comes the night (for running away) We won’t get another chance (for running away) It’s too late to hide (for running away) Everybody’s on the run (out of our way) Warning Sign - fading into the night Children starving in their mother’s arms while the disciples pray in the church of economic growth But now their god is dead Cars are crashing, people screaming blue murder leaders go insane The light of hope now a black hole sun A flashing ray that burns All we have is each other, baby We hold and kiss as the rain falls down Smile for me one last time, my darling You will meet me on the other side Here comes the night (for running away) We won’t get another chance (for running away) It’s too late to hide (for running away) Everybody’s on the run (out of our way) Here comes the night (for running away) We won’t get another chance (for running away) It’s too late to hide (for running away) Everybody’s on the run (out of our way) Warning Sign - fading into the night |

Same old stories and the same old song I’ve been living here for much too long Small town small minds it’s all so bloody daunting Sitting round with nothing to do watching stupid movies chinese kung fu Bruce Lee, Zombie Trash, forget your dream-hunting Down on main street there’s a danger sign saying “Caution: Dead End Street lies just straight ahead” Bored teenagers meet each night at nine getting soused, pale faces like they’re back from the dead I’ll be leaving on a night train Yeah, there’s gotta be a better place Don’t wanna be a basket case No, oh no… I’ll be leaving on a night train I don’t care and I won’t turn around Yeah, I’m gonna break new ground Hooray, I’m northern bound Out of this town right now Leave on a night train now Out of this town right now Leave on a night train now School work death — nothing else to do just do the things they expect from you but deep inside you know there’s gotta be a better life somewhere, someplace else Snow’s falling and my bags are packed I’m gonna leave tonight, well that’s a fact Cause I ain’t gonna wait til the best days of my life have been washed out And I’m walking down main street for one last time with its houses that look to me like a scene-of-crime I’ll be trading this life for a real big time but I don’t know where I’m gonna wake up at dawn I’ll be leaving on a night train Yeah, there’s gotta a better place Don’t wanna be a basket case No, oh no… I’ll be leaving on a night train I don’t care and I won’t turn around because I’m gonna break new ground No looking back, I’m northern bound Out of this town right now Leave on a night train now Out of this town right now Leave on a night train now |

Sweet Magnolia his things are scattered everywhere Your prince charming so fuckin’ poised, so debonair The telephone it rings and rings but no one’s there I ran away I ran away I ran away Once I promised you my love but that was not enough Tonight down by the street He’s waiting patiently Wish I’d still love you but I don’t you turned my heart to stone and though I hate to go It’s only tears you know Your ocean’s too wide I’m drowning here tonight we’re floating in a darkness where the cold begins to bite There will be no tomorrow no turning of the tide a deep blue sea keeps calling submerging open-eyed She’s calling me her flowers washed down by the rain "I’ll wait for thee" no sleep, no rest, no longer sane but don’t you feel the loss, the pain: it’s so inane No longer mine No longer mine No longer mine I’m so confused, I can’t recall Where did we stumble, did we fall? I’m frightened and I cry cause our love has died tonight You’re lost and now you crawl with your back against the wall Why did you leave me? Why did you leave me? Your ocean’s too wide I’m drowning here tonight we’re floating in a darkness where the cold begins to bite There will be no tomorrow no turning of the tide a deep blue sea keeps calling submerging open-eyed |

4. | The Fire Went Out | 04:47 | Show lyrics |
Somebody’s walking the dog like before The kids outside at the bus stop like in days of yore A young guy’s pulling the cigarette machine Out there it’s business as usual but here just died a dream Somebody’s ringing at the door Love doesn’t live here any more... The rooms are empty and I’m on my own reading your letter the third time turns my heart to stone The wind’s not sounding your chimes anymore I left my keys on the sill cause I won’t return no more Goodbye my love, I am leaving It’s gettin’ cold in the evening Oh, the fire it went out it went out so long Oh, I never saw no cloud Coming up along So the fire it went out It went out so long A long time a go And I didn’t know No afterglow so much for our last show Was it all just lie? Until we die? Was it all just a lie? Kinda trick of the light? An illusion divine? The last test of time? |

He waited all these years Lived in dreams and fears Hoping for a change that never comes Mirror, mirror on the wall He’d seen nothing at all An emptiness inside banged the drums Like a snake shedding its skin wondering what and where I’ve been I was lost among some scriptures written in sand Searching for the sun Not knowing what he’d done A roly-poly toy from pain to joy A voice inside his head the last words have been said He set his sails but never found no Helen of Troy The bonds that didn’t last turned into ghosts of christmas past Until the day I woke up to myself again Tell me, tell me who you are You’re only human You’re not a superstar Tell me, tell me who you are No more running away from the way you are Tell me, tell me who you are You’re only human You’re not a superstar You gotta tell me, tell me who you are Outside - Inside Inside - Outside |

6. | Have You Been Loved? | 04:30 | Show lyrics |
Sure you’ve come a long way From the backstage of the past Till you found out one day All their assertions just didn’t last Their actions spoke louder than their words Your dreams and needs seemed so absurd Too entangled to see what you went through Have you been loved Like you need it? Have you been loved Like you deserve it? The way you look tonight With this sadness in your eyes I wish I could turn back the hands Of time and make them look at you The way that I see you The beauty and love that you shines in your heart Yesterday’s ghosts sometimes still haunt you But your spirit keeps up the fight So brave, so strong - it’s no wonder That you made it through your childhood nights Now I’m here to stay with you And whatever you’re going through Even if some tears should fall I’ll be there whenever you call The past has gone now, my love You’re walking away from what they’ve done and together we’re facing a new morning sun Have you been loved... |

7. | The Point of No Return | 08:31 | Show lyrics |
Up on the balcony I watched you walk away but I couldn’t see That this parting kiss was forever Oh come back to me Yet another summer without you Soon fall will be there But comes winter I guess I’ll be over in Cornwall somewhere I try walking in our footsteps These days passing in a time lapse I went through anger, hate and frustration searching for some kind of revocation We couldn’t fail? How did it happen? For a dare? Everything’s shattered Darkness embrace me I’m misplaced here This is the wrong score Stranded on a strange shore The way we were Our hearts were beating together til something occured Now you’re up there somewhere in Scotland I’m left in midair Guess I’m waiting for your return eternally But comes the end of December Let it rain down on me What have we found? Just a rebound Was it worth the price we paid? What have we gained after these strains? Remember Penzance Promenade? What’s the truth? The importance of who’s right or wrong I don’t care We’ve been fooling around for too long Much too long, my Love The point of no return on our way home Each day my heart is gettin’ colder The burden’s heavy on my shoulder Over and over I see the same scene Trapped in a nightmare not just a bad dream Couldn’t run coz I was petrified Tried to swallow my foolish pride Cities lost forever so it seems Missing you so much it makes me wanna scream Last night I had a dream Me flying high above the sea in the sky With my arms wide open dazzling clouds passing by And the mermaids’ song guiding me on my way To the coastline with its white cliffs of chalk and clay I’m trying hard to keep my eyes shut The things I see they are not clear-cut Tryin’ to get you out of my mind Fuck off, you left me behind This time there’ll be no substitution Just like with former dissolutions Occupying my heart Now pack your things and run Because everything’s said and done A saturday back in September The golden sunlight in your eyes This day I always will remember You were the fairest of all brides The sun has gone, We’re on our own Our paradise a fragile dream A void is calling and I’m falling Into time’s adamant stream Called your name into the night but you’re gone All forgone Not a flame will arise from the embers at dawn No more dawn, my Love The point of no return on our way home Come to me across the sea |

Like the lark in the morning breeze you fly with the clouds in the sky Like the waves rolling in on the shore from days of yore You walk amongst stars that are shining like the light in your eyes Crowned by sundown and dressed in the light of the moon Glittering rainbows A warmth like the scent of the trees your song that travels through time comes like spring rain to me Your brown eyes they shine When you smile at me Your brown eyes they shine with all the love that I see All the trials of the past all the hurt you went through Made yourself only stronger Now look at you! Your silhouette revealing itself sets heavens afire The wind keeps caressing your hair as we’re leaving the fair When nightfall is turning our world in a void out of sight You’ll be chasing the last rays of light with your heart opened wide You’re walking this earth with a passion so fervently Enchanting my heart and my soul you’re a mystery to me Your brown eyes they shine When you smile at me Your brown eyes they shine with all the love that I see See your beauty unequaled A fire I desire You’re everything to me My love, my life and my light Your brown eyes they shine When you smile at me Your brown eyes they shine with all the love that I see Oh, how they shine Oh, they shine... |

Just before the rain would fall I know that we’ve said it all We talked and talked the hours were passing by but then you went home And by the river I sat I was thinking of you How could I know that this time it’s true? You dance with the Moon and the Stars We walk between Venus and Mars I travel from midnight to noon to be with you, my love, soon We’re creatures of a jade lagoon And when I walked home that night alone the wind whispering softly our fate’s still unknown Under the streetlight I smelled your perfume just for a second Oh how I wished you could stay just for a while to come up to my room and make me smile You dance with the Moon and the Stars We walk between Venus and Mars I travel from midnight to noon to be with you, my love, soon We’re creatures of a jade lagoon And we danced Kissed the sun and the moon |

You’re still alive, but older Now the nights are gettin’ colder The jukebox in the corner still plays the same old song You’ve had enough of cryin’ The game’s up, love’s been dying Too many times you’ve tried once more you’re proven wrong Observing all the rules broken careless just by fools but still love’s so much more than a transient caprice so hold on to your dreams Cause love’s an endless flow that leaves no afterglow to the beauty of our life far away where passion’s rife Come stay with me tonight let us keep the flame alight Til the morning goes to show I’ll never let you go... She might come like a shower or in the wee small hours Just wait until you’ve seen the final curtain fall No, it’s not an illusion in spite of your confusion your heart’s still beatin’ and one day you’ll hear the call They’re playing different games simply interchanging names But they will never find what you bear in your mind (so hold on to your dreams) Cause love’s an endless flow that leaves no afterglow to the beauty of our life far away where passion’s rife Come stay with me tonight let us keep the flame alight Til the morning goes to show I’ll never let you go |

Once I dreamt to be home again even for just now and then while the rain fell down waiting for a ray of light A cold wind’s blowing night jessamine and heather feels like your velvet skin You’re embodied in the gale that reaches our shore At eventide we’re getting to the core I see the wilderness and storms in your eyes And you’ve changed my life with your red-hot fire you’re my adrenalin Like a burning sky you can take me higher you’re my adrenalin I see a brand new dawn Yesterday is gone Yes, I’m remembering And if the stars should fall I wouldn’t care at all You’re my adrenalin Your candle burns in the deep dark night We’re walking through the gardens of delight while this world outside lies quiet and the things we do feel oh so right You touch me skin make me shivering breathe down your neck raising trembling and we’re entangled in lust the wages of our sin And we’re drowning getting down, we’re burning bright We’re like two shining spirits in the night And you’ve changed my life with your red-hot fire you’re my adrenalin Like a burning sky you can take me high you’re my adrenalin I see a brand new dawn Yesterday is gone Yes, I’m remembering And if the stars should fall I wouldn’t care at all You’re my adrenalin And we take refuge with the dawning of the day and the morning sun shines in your eyes Oh, you’ve changed my life with your red-hot fire you’re my adrenalin Like a burning sky you can take me high you’re my adrenalin I see a brand new dawn Yesterday is gone I’m remembering And if the stars should fall I wouldn’t care at all You’re my adrenalin Oh you changed my life with your red-hot fire you’re my adrenalin Like a flaming sun you got me on the run you’re my adrenalin We see a brand new dawn days of yore have gone Yes, we’re remembering Till the end of time you’re my perfect rhyme You’re my adrenalin |

12. | Walking with Angels | 04:41 | Show lyrics |
Too many bad days So many sad ways This house was not a home Trying not to surrender Sometimes she remembers How she’s walking all alone Classroom daydreaming Words without meaning Salad days just passing by But a heart full of sorrow Hopes for tomorrow It’s a case of do or die Hiding inside Preparing for fight Now that she called a spade a spade Detecting the lies with innocent eyes Waiting for something in the night She’s walking with Angels Dancing in rainbows Talking to the wind, the clouds and the rain She’s fighting the demons Waiting for nighttime When the world around her lies quiet Don’t you ever walk away These sides they were choosing Were just too confusing But her dreams they never died One summer in Norway She did it her way Turned into a rider in the sky Sit down here beside me The way that it should be I know it is not easy being free But the rain will stop falling And angels are calling For you to fly across the sea Pushing your barrow for too many years So steep the path but still you tried to hide the tears You’ve had enough of their truth turning into lies You look through them with your all-detecting eyes What if this town was built of ruins of the past? What if these solid walls someday came down? But now you’ve found a way to turn things around they didn’t notice cause you’ve left without a sound She’s walking with Angels Dancing in rainbows Talking to the wind, the clouds and the rain She’s fighting the demons Waiting for nighttime When the world around her lies quiet No, she’ll never walk away Forever she will stay It’s not easy being free Talking with the wind, the clouds and the rain |

We are stars Being watched from the gutter This is our seedtime Into light Through the darkness of Ulthar We are crossing the line Saw your strange breed Far from a distance Veiled by black night Cold wind’s blowing Sunset’s fading For ravenous parasites Still we stand In silence we’re waiting For the Fates to decide For the last time You’ve missed your chances Are you ready to die? Cause we’re crossing the line Crossing the line All your warlords Prophets and masters Paved the way to decline With their lies, greed And egomania Have they fooled you each time Just a few Had the courage to fight for What was worth to defend But you laughed at them Making them martyrs Facing such bitter ends Still we stand Anxiously waiting Their sentence is passed We’re releasing The Hounds of Damnation Armageddon divine As we’re crossing the line Crossing the line And the Angels came down from heaven Clothed in clouds and rainbows crowned their heads And their faces were like a myriad of suns And their feet like pillars of fire And they cried with one voice, And seven legions uttered their voices. And the angels lifted up their swords to heaven And sware by her That liveth for ever and ever That there should be time no longer We’re the stars That will never be looked at By human eyes any more Now the Earth A Garden of Eden Won’t have to suffer no more Hear the birds sing their beautiful farewell To the Angels of Doom Riding back with the souls of those who loved They’ll find a new home Still we stand In silence we’re waiting Cause the Fates stll decide For all creatures grandeur and freedom We’re defending the line Defending the line |

As I’m walking down yesteryear’s lane past the houses and homes of my life deserted and empty no lights in the windows at night it’s all quiet I’ve been searching in all of these rooms rattling at closed doors and cryin’ but those years have been fading in time like a book that’s been never read twice Goddamn I haven’t seen before call me stupid, call me blind a prospect of what might have been unnervingly entering my mind Listening to Bruce all night long as he’s driving away in a stolen car down the road riding by night down the highways and byways of time Strange but I seem to be back again from these restless years Sure it comes as a surprise but I’m still here More different than I thought I am no more prey to blind fear I’m back again no more being departed, my friend Wondering why everyone just walked away left all fucked up one fine day acting in very strange ways I couldn’t find the right words to say But now I see it was all just my fault every romance comes to a grinding halt when you lose yourself in someone else instead of cutting your own path, my friend Rewrite the story of my life Forgive and forget if you can No more dyin’ for you under your balcony blue been there, done that several times Yes, I can live on top of the mountain It’s not cold and forsaken at all there with you Me and you Yes we’ve opened the door to a new world Strange but I seem to be back again from these restless years Sure it comes as a surprise but I’m still here More different than I thought I am no more prey to blind fear I’m back again no more being departed, my friend Strange but I seem to be back again from these restless years Sure it comes as a surprise Stay here, stay near Stronger than I thought I am forget about the tears I’m back again no more being departed, my friend |

When the moon kissed the silent lake The nightwind called us A place too crowded, much too full and loud We better leave now I saw you standing in the lamplight forlorn We gotta get away Desolation is the price they’ll pay Now that we’re on our own They predicted our future but they turned heaven into hell in no time by giving us the heebie-jeebies while they’re driving with full headlight Here comes the night (for running away) We won’t get another chance (for running away) It’s too late to hide (for running away) Everybody’s on the run (out of our way) Warning Sign - fading into the night Children starving in their mother’s arms while the disciples pray in the church of economic growth But now their god is dead Cars are crashing, people screaming blue murder leaders go insane The light of hope now a black hole sun A flashing ray that burns All we have is each other, baby We hold and kiss as the rain falls down Smile for me one last time, my darling You will meet me on the other side Here comes the night (for running away) We won’t get another chance (for running away) It’s too late to hide (for running away) Everybody’s on the run (out of our way) Here comes the night (for running away) We won’t get another chance (for running away) It’s too late to hide (for running away) Everybody’s on the run (out of our way) Warning Sign - fading into the night |

Too many bad days So many sad ways This house was not a home Trying not to surrender Sometimes she remembers How she’s walking all alone Classroom daydreaming Words without meaning Salad days just passing by But a heart full of sorrow Hopes for tomorrow It’s a case of do or die Hiding inside Preparing for fight Now that she called a spade a spade Detecting the lies with innocent eyes Waiting for something in the night She’s walking with Angels Dancing in rainbows Talking to the wind, the clouds and the rain She’s fighting the demons Waiting for nighttime When the world around her lies quiet Don’t you ever walk away These sides they were choosing Were just too confusing But her dreams they never died One summer in Norway She did it her way Turned into a rider in the sky Sit down here beside me The way that it should be I know it is not easy being free But the rain will stop falling And angels are calling For you to fly across the sea Pushing your barrow for too many years So steep the path but still you tried to hide the tears You’ve had enough of their truth turning into lies You look through them with your all-detecting eyes What if this town was built of ruins of the past? What if these solid walls someday came down? But now you’ve found a way to turn things around they didn’t notice cause you’ve left without a sound She’s walking with Angels Dancing in rainbows Talking to the wind, the clouds and the rain She’s fighting the demons Waiting for nighttime When the world around her lies quiet No, she’ll never walk away Forever she will stay It’s not easy being free Talking with the wind, the clouds and the rain |

13. | Crossing the Line | 04:30 | Show lyrics |
We are stars Being watched from the gutter This is our seedtime Into light Through the darkness of Ulthar We are crossing the line Saw your strange breed Far from a distance Veiled by black night Cold wind’s blowing Sunset’s fading For ravenous parasites Still we stand In silence we’re waiting For the Fates to decide For the last time You’ve missed your chances Are you ready to die? Cause we’re crossing the line Crossing the line All your warlords Prophets and masters Paved the way to decline With their lies, greed And egomania Have they fooled you each time Just a few Had the courage to fight for What was worth to defend But you laughed at them Making them martyrs Facing such bitter ends Still we stand Anxiously waiting Their sentence is passed We’re releasing The Hounds of Damnation Armageddon divine As we’re crossing the line Crossing the line And the Angels came down from heaven Clothed in clouds and rainbows crowned their heads And their faces were like a myriad of suns And their feet like pillars of fire And they cried with one voice, And seven legions uttered their voices. And the angels lifted up their swords to heaven And sware by her That liveth for ever and ever That there should be time no longer We’re the stars That will never be looked at By human eyes any more Now the Earth A Garden of Eden Won’t have to suffer no more Hear the birds sing their beautiful farewell To the Angels of Doom Riding back with the souls of those who loved They’ll find a new home Still we stand In silence we’re waiting Cause the Fates stll decide For all creatures grandeur and freedom We’re defending the line Defending the line |

14. | Restless Years | 04:33 | Show lyrics |
As I’m walking down yesteryear’s lane past the houses and homes of my life deserted and empty no lights in the windows at night it’s all quiet I’ve been searching in all of these rooms rattling at closed doors and cryin’ but those years have been fading in time like a book that’s been never read twice Goddamn I haven’t seen before call me stupid, call me blind a prospect of what might have been unnervingly entering my mind Listening to Bruce all night long as he’s driving away in a stolen car down the road riding by night down the highways and byways of time Strange but I seem to be back again from these restless years Sure it comes as a surprise but I’m still here More different than I thought I am no more prey to blind fear I’m back again no more being departed, my friend Wondering why everyone just walked away left all fucked up one fine day acting in very strange ways I couldn’t find the right words to say But now I see it was all just my fault every romance comes to a grinding halt when you lose yourself in someone else instead of cutting your own path, my friend Rewrite the story of my life Forgive and forget if you can No more dyin’ for you under your balcony blue been there, done that several times Yes, I can live on top of the mountain It’s not cold and forsaken at all there with you Me and you Yes we’ve opened the door to a new world Strange but I seem to be back again from these restless years Sure it comes as a surprise but I’m still here More different than I thought I am no more prey to blind fear I’m back again no more being departed, my friend Strange but I seem to be back again from these restless years Sure it comes as a surprise Stay here, stay near Stronger than I thought I am forget about the tears I’m back again no more being departed, my friend |
