1. Empathy

As the days grow colder now
And everything is lost
A vision forms of better men
Rising from the cross

Never held the key to life
Finally their loss
Rising from the emptiness
And all that ever was

The battle rages on 'til now
Many men were lost
Dried into an empty shell
Nailed onto the cross

As I lie awake by now
Having never loved
Heaven sent for all of us
So painful our loss

In the eyes of the world a believer
But I'm sure they'll be turning away

[Chorus:]
Takes me down to a place below
Can't you see I'm falling
Pain has come
And the world will surely hide
In empathy

And then the world's religious fools
Come knocking at your door
Mankind is not wiser now
I've heard it all before

Still the mindless will hail the deceivers
And I'm sure they'll be turning away

Takes me down to a place below
Can't you see I'm falling
Pain has come
And the world will surely hide

In empathy

Empathy
In empathy
And the world will hide
In empathy
In empathy
Yes the world will hide
In empathy
The world will hide
Empathy
Empathy!


2. All You Need To Know

I came from the sky on the coldest day
They tough me to speak and to walk and obey
Injected their will into my simple kind
Forever to be in control of my mind

Let me out, let me out and walk away
Let me live on the run
Let me out, let me out and make me stay
For my kingdom to come

[Chorus:]
I'm the one with no name
And I won't play your game
I'm no light in the dark and no savior
Let my powers unfold
And before I get cold
Let me die as a rebel
Or live as a free man at last

I seek no forgiveness for taking my turn
I don't beg your pardon
It's time that you learn
That I'm non-conform
And I hate the norm
And I wish your world away
I'm falling to pieces sometime

[Chorus x2]

Free at last


3. Time To Live

A lonely rider in the morning sun
Heading out into the west
And his journey only has begun
He still believes the very best

A golden rainbow hanging in the sky
Full of mercy for those about to die
Up in the heavens so close to the edge
An angel shall speak to the dead

[Chorus:]
Time to live
I hear the voices
Time to live
Of the spirits in the sky
Time to live
They leave no choices
Time to live now, live
Live or die

The fading light beams of the setting sun
Showing life is but a wheel
Oh lord, I never wanted to be the one
To be dying on the fields

And when it's over and all is set and done
No more crying no more loving on the run
Up in the heavens so close to the edge
An angel shall speak to the dead

Time to live
I hear the voices
Time to live
Of the spirits in the sky
Time to live
They leave no choices
Time to live now, live
Live or die

Don't you wonder, ride again
When you always hide in shadows
You will never lose the pain
When the sky shines in amber
And night starts to fall
There's a light that burns forever for us all

Time to live
Time to live
Time to live
I hear the voices
Time to live
Of the spirits in the sky
Time to live
They leave no choices
Time to live now, live
Live or die


4. To The Metal

Coming from the streets
fists up in the air
generating heat
they come from everywhere

Hail

Fists are made of iron
bodies made of steel
dancing on a razor
Metal is the deal
Hail

[Chorus:]
We came to feel the thunder
the lightning and the heat
we came to hail the metal gods
banging to the beat
singin

Hail to the Metal, hail
Singin Hail Heavy Metal, hail

The power in the music
arising in us all
we re never gonna lose it
we re proud and standing tall
Hail
I said hail

If you just cannot feel it
you ll never understand
there s nothing s gonna beat it
Metal rules the land
Hail

We came to feel the thunder
the lightning and the heat
we came to hail the metal gods
banging to the beat
singin

Hail to the Metal, hail
Singin Hail Heavy Metal, hail
Hail

Heavy Metal
All Hail


5. Rise

Fast decline of human values
Fast decay of virtues and morality
We're falling to pieces

Trust and faith are smashed to splinters
Confidence abused and torn away
But we will remember

We know who's the one to blame
We hold out 'till the end of the game

[Chorus:]
And then we'll rise in victory
We'll return stronger than ever
We shall rise from agony
Stand our ground
Stronger than ever

Self-destructive human nature
We sell out the future of our kind
We're going from heaven to hell
We walk through storm and fire
Now we have to stand the test of time
But we won't surrender
We face the demons of our crime
A chance for us, a chance for all mankind

And then we'll rise in victory
We'll return stronger than ever
We shall rise from agony
Stand our ground
Stronger than ever

Hate creates destruction
Greed wants to posses
Virus, massinfection
Force wants to oppress
Who's the core of evil
Who directs our fall
Who creates the chaos
Who's responsible

And then we'll rise in victory
We'll return stronger than ever
We shall rise from agony
Stand our ground
Stronger than ever


6. Mother Angel

From the book of life
Comes a rider for the damned
And he wields the scythe
As he rides across the land

But when he comes
You'll never know
Then it's time for you to leave the world

[Chorus:]
Mother Angel tell me why
Is it cool up in the sky
Was it time for you to disappear and go
Is there something I should know
Was it time for you to go
Waiting for a sign from you
To let me know
Here on my own

From the ashes we do come
To the ashes we shall go
And the dust that we were made of
Shall embrace our very soul
All the times that we don't know
Make it harder to believe in god
And heaven above

So Mother Angel tell me why
Is it cool up in the sky
Was it time for you to disappear and go
Is there something I should know
Was it time for you to go
Waiting for a sign from you
To let me know
Here on my own

My hands reach out into thin air
And the truth is hard to bear
No one comes to bring you back again

So Mother Angel tell me why
Is it cool up in the sky
Was it time for you to disappear and go
Is there something I should know
Was it time for you to go
Waiting for a sign from you
To let me know
Here on my own


7. Shine Forever

Give me peace and absolution
Take me up into the light
Sacrifice and self-destruction
Bodies burning bright
To die for revelation
Decimate the enemy
Holy war into damnation
Blood is on the streets

But when the knife is cutting deep
And you're crying in your sleep
Then it's time to come alive

And rise up, shine forever
You will see the light again on your road

Watch your step they're right behind you
Better move without a sound
Damn the day they're gonna find you
Grind you to the ground

And the knife is cutting deep
And in agony you creep
And it's time to come alive

And rise up, shine forever
You will see the light on your road
Rise up it's now or never
You will see the light again on your road

Standing and watching the fire
Don't wanna stand in the row
Watching the flames getting higher
Look at yourself, regain your self-control

Take a look around you, you're not alone
So stand up and rise

Rise up, shine forever
You will see the light on your road
Rise up shine forever
And your star will rise again
It will rise


8. Deadlands

Coming from the dark side
When the moon enlights the still
They're chasing you around
And they aim in for the kill
Seven deadly snipers, seven lives to live
Seven million pairs of eyes
Are watching for the thrill

The eyes of the hangmen
Will dance in your head
The silence is broken
The beast going mad

[Chorus:]
Now you run from the deadlands
The eyes of a stranger will follow
Run like a madman
The eyes of the stranger will follow
Now run!

I will not die in vain
I will not live in pain
And seven deadly bullets
Have not found me
I won't bow to you all
You'll never see me crawl
And seven deadly snipers won't
Surround me nevermore

The eyes of the hangmen
To pieces are torn
The dawn of a new world
A king to be born

Now you run from the deadlands
The eyes of a stranger will follow
Run like a madman
The eyes of the stranger will follow
Now run!

I'm on the run
From the shadows
From the deadlands
Oh yea


9. Chasing Shadows

Catch the wind
I'm gonna fly away
No turning back
Forever starts today

I am searching for something
Something I've never found
I am bleeding
Still proceeding
Want you to be around

[Chorus:]
Queen of the light
Star shining bright
Blessed by the light of the moon
A chase with the wind to the gardens of sin
Take me away, I am coming

Chasing shadows

Turn the page
Don't waste your life away
The choice is yours
Don't waste another day

Are you looking for someone
Someone deep in your mind
Can you hear me?
Can you feel me?
Is it you I will find

Queen of the light
Star shining bright
Blessed by the light of the moon
A chase with the wind to the gardens of sin
Take me away, I am coming

Chasing shadows

Give me your light
To bring sun to the night
Make me whole again
Back in the sun
I am chasing the shadows away

Save me from the tears and rain
A taste of freedom from the pain
The choice to be the man I was before
And when the end of day is near
I'll never know if she apperas
Will you open the door

Queen of the light
Star shining bright
Blessed by the light of the moon
A chase with the wind to the gardens of sin
Take me away, I am coming

Chasing shadows

Give me your light
To bring sun to the night
Make me whole again
Back in the sun
I am chasing the shadows away

Chasing shadows


10. No Need To Cry

I remember the times we had
Take a look at the past
I can see you clearly now, very well
But I don't know when you lost yourself
There was no way to find you
You were deep, so deep
Inside your world

Don't know where to go
Uh and I miss you so
I lost you and I'll never be the same
Now you're gone
And I learned to be strong
And there's

No need to cry and there's
No need to die
'cause all we need is love, there is
No need to cry and there's
No need to die
'cause the world keeps turning on

So much I've said
but I guess I was right after all
You have never, never really been alone
And on your way
There's been trouble and pain
And everything that comes along with it
We had seen it all before

No need to cry and there's
No need to die
'cause all we need is love, there is
No need to cry and there's
No need to die
'cause the world keeps turning on

What have you done with all your life
What have you done with all of your love
Who cares about it when you're gone
I don't know and you'll never see

What's the sense of it
What's the sense of all
What's the sense of our life
There's one hundred million ways
To go and
We will never know
What's our truth or reality

What have you done with all your love
And what have you done with all of your life
There's nothing left to stay right now and
I don't know and you'll never know

No need to cry and there's
No need to die
'cause all we can give is
Hope, truth (faith) and love
There's
No need to cry and there's
No need to die
Oh, the world keeps turning on

There is a light on the dark
A light in the dark for everyone
For everyone


11. Wannabees

I'm the biggest I'm the best
And I'm better than the rest
I'm so tough and I'm so cool
And I'll put you on the test
I am the man I have the clue
I'm the big cheese here
Now who the fuck are you

Your show is bad your style is fake
But the biggest fake will make the day
And take the cake
Did you ever realize you're big time suckin'
You think you're really awesome
But you're close to nothing

You pretend to be a friend
Don't try that one on me
So fuck off stay away from me
And leave me be

Save me now help me out
Save me from the wannabees
Help me out save me now
Save me from the wannabees

VIPs and other maggots
Smalltalk rules by stupid braggarts
Bla bla bla bla bla bla you don't stop talkin'
A flow of words but they don't mean nothin'

You pretend to be a friend
Though we never met before
So what the hell is wrong with you
Don't bother me no more

Save me now help me out
Save me from the wannabees
Help me out save me now
Save me from the wannabees

Who gave you a backstage pass
It was a fucker from All Access
Remove yourself out of this place
Or we're gonna kick your face whoo

Save me now help me out
Save me from the wannabees
Help me out save me now
Save me from the wannabees
Save me now help me out
Save me from the wannabees
Help me out save me now
Save me from the wannabees


12. One Life

I'm lookin' for someone now to help me
To try to get on with my life
A one way lane in a dead end alley
The seatbelt is pullin' me tight

Out here in the madness
That's where I push my wheels
The hunger inside tells me feed the monster
Oh I wish that I couldn't feel

Face down in the gutter
Tryin' to keep my head up high
I wish that I'd be free now
I wish that I could fly

One life to live one heart to give
Fight until the end my friend
'cause now it's time to live time to live

Out here in the twilight
That's where the sun won't shine
I've come to realise by now
The world was never mine
The world was never mine

I'm rising from the gutter rising
And hold my head up high
It's time to break the silence
I scream out in the night

One life to live one heart to give
The final curtain's far from here
'cause now it's time to live

They send you away they're takin' your day
Out of your life and there's none you can say
Out of the blue nil you can do
They're comin' for you and they take you away

Now they want your curtain to fall
They look at you with evil eyes
They're tryin' to seize control
You're lookin' the storm in the eye
Sail away far away oh yeah

No longer in the gutter
I keep my head up high
I'll never live in silence
I keep my aim in sight

I got one life to live one heart to give
The final curtain's far from here
'cause now it's time
One chance to be free
There's only one way to be me
Everything and all I want
And that's how it's gonna be
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

In the land of the free, they're calling out for me
I'm riding on the wind, I'm on my way

Into the storm, Into the storm

Now I am riding on forever

2. From The Ashes

Now the time is here again
I'm calling you my friends
from the ashes we must rise

and it's been for much too long
now that everything went wrong
like the eagle we must fly

ooh the seal is torn
the seed is sown
ooh, we are coming

And we rise like phoenix from the ashes
let us go where no man's gone before
and we don't need your tomorrow
we're the kids of yesterday
and our spirit will remain forevermore

We're rising again

What's the use of living in a world that changes fast
I cannot see the good side of the progress
beyond the icy glitter world
our hearts are beating fast
a storm released to hammer on the fortress

your time has come
ooh, your world is done
it's time to meet the maker
ooh, we are coming

And we rise like phoenix from the ashes
let us go where no man's gone before
and we don't need your tomorrow
we're the kids of yesterday
and our brotherhood is here forevermore

We're rising again

....uuh, like phoenix from the ashes
we will go where no man's gone before

Rise like phoenix from the ashes
let us boldly go where no man's gone before
we don't need your tomorrow
we will do it our own way
and the world belongs to us forevermore

We'll rise,
we will go where no man's gone before
to hell with your tomorrow
we'll do it our own way
and our spirit will remain forevermore

so keep your dreams of progress
you cannot win at all
the spirit will remain forevermore

Rising again


3. Rising Again

[Instrumental]


4. To Mother Earth

Hey, this world's a dying planet
nothing matters, nothing's won
I have come to seek revenge
for all that you have done

Hate and fear, eternal sadness
nothing matters, no one cares
I am here to stop the madness
free you from despair

Once I heard the white dove sing
it was the sound of peace
beauty dies in agony
crushed under debris

She was so beautiful
she was a dream
and when I cry for her
I hear them scream..

No respect, no heart for nature
led by greed they tear our soil
ripped, the sky, the damage major
the air is at the boil

Here create another wasteland
on and on 'til nothing's there
here it comes, the devastation
poisoning the air

Once I saw the eagle fly
it was the sound of peace
beauty dies in agony
crushed under debris

She was so beautiful
she was a dream
and when I cry for her
I hear them scream..

You were so beautiful
you were a dream
all we shall heed the call
shall be redeemed

She was so beautiful
she was a dream
and when I cry for her
I hear them scream..
Oh Mother Earth
You were so beautiful
just like a dream
all we shall heed the call
shall be redeemed
Yeah!


5. Rain

My mind is darkened by a demon in my soul
My life is empty and my heart is getting cold
My hope is dying by things I used to see

So much confusion - I'm down on my knees
To find a solution - I want to break free

Look through the eyes of time and finally you will see
The broken dreams and all the pain and tragedy
My mind is asking, will I ever find the key?

So much confusion - I'm down on my knees
To find a solution - I want to break free

Here comes the rain again, falling on my head
My mind is dark again, it's gonna make me mad
Here comes the rain again, crawling like a snake
It's like a thunderstorm, I can not escape
Possession, possessed

And when the curtain falls they still don't realize
Who cries for children, when there's no one left to cry?
Who's proud of victories, when all the love has died?

So much confusion - I'm down on my knees
To find a solution - I want to break free

Here comes the rain again, falling on my head
It's like a thunderstorm, it's gonna make me mad
Here comes the rain again, crawling like a snake
Here comes the rain again, I can not, I can not escape

I try, but it's so hard to find
Wiping the tears of my mind
I cried for the pain deep inside
Where is my blue sunny sky?
... and where the fuck is my Superman outfit???

So much confusion - I'm down on my knees
To find a solution - I want to break free

Here comes the rain again, falling on my head
My mind is dark again, it's gonna make me mad

Here comes the rain again, no more, no more
It will not bring me down, no more, no more

So let me dry the tears and then I will arise
Out in the sunlight see me fly
See me fly


6. Leaving Hell

Come on down into the basement of my temple
I show you things I cannot even tell
the fallen dreams that were made of good intention
wherever people got their soul to sell

A Romeo is standing bleeding in the corner
He cannot die, he cannot live alone
the dagger in the hands of one desperate woman
oh Juliet, why couldn't you forgive

Oh no, here it comes again
my mind is set for freedom now
so let the ball begin
let the ball begin

Leaving Hell
I'll build a new tomorrow
say farewell
'cause you can't lock me in
Time to go
I'm leaving without sorrow
kiss my Ass goodbye
'cause we will never meet again

And now my ship is leaving for the open water
I set my course toward the island in the sun
and if I die no one can say I haven't tried
to keep my dream alive when I was on the run

and I say oh, here I go again
my mind is set for freedom now
so let the ball begin
let the ball begin

Leaving Hell
I'll build a new tomorrow
say farewell
'cause you cannot lock me in
Time to go
I'm leaving without sorrow
kiss my Ass goodbye
'cause we will never meet again

I say oh, here I go again
my mind is set for freedom now
so let the ball begin
let the ball begin

Leaving Hell
I'll build a new tomorrow
say farewell
'cause you cannot lock me in
Time to go
I'm leaving without sorrow
Kiss my Ass goodbye
'cause we will never meet again
no, never again!
I'm leaving Hell


7. Empress

The sun is going down, the curtain's falling
The heat is rising now, the master's calling
Into the night I thunder, into the dead of night
and I will head the calling and leave it all behind

The holy man has lost the grail, signs of love from yesterday
the eyes of god of have turned away, the dream became alive
all my life I've waited for the yearning in my heart
right out there I see a star, the sun is going down

Kiss the princess, Empress of the dark
drink the poison , listen to your heart
Feed the Princess, Empress of the dark
All shall feel the fire

My heart is crying out, the fever rising
no one can stop me now, it's meserizing
I break the chains that bind me, the chaos in my life
I leave the world behind me and live in my own mind

A holy land, another shore, no more pain and no more war
she's calling me from far away, makes me feel alive
here I stand in front of her, losing my disguise
no regrets, I'm standing there, waiting for the bite

Kiss the princess, Empress of the dark
drink the poison , listen to your heart
Feed the Princess, Empress of the dark
All shall feel the fire

Kiss the princess, Empress of the dark
feel the poison , flowing through your heart
Kiss the Princess, Empress of the dark
All shall feel her fiery Love

Another life,a different way, signs of life from yesterday
the memory will fade away, the dream became alive
here I stand in front of you, tearing off the lies
no regrets, I'm standing tall, I now am free to bite

Kiss the princess, Empress of the dark
drink the poison , listen to your heart
Feed the Princess, Empress of the dark
All shall feel the fire

Kiss the princess, Empress of the dark
drink the poison ,listen to your heart
Kiss the Princess, Empress of the dark
All shall feel the fiery Love


8. When The World

Bodies lie around me, only shells left from the fight
victims of the ones that turn the day into the night
survivors stumble through the field,they're calling for the priest
branded with a sign, the number of the beast
it's Hell!

I can't escape the nightmare that's here before my eyes
a prisoner of destiny, a victim of the night
my thoughts, they move in circles, I'm heading for the fall
they tell me hope dies last, but I got no hope at all

So talk to me, the world I see
has reached the point of no return
the tons of grief killed my belief
my heaven's on fire and it burns

When the world's on my shoulders
and the pain comes again
then I wish I could be there
in my dreamland again
There I'm free from the madness
without chains and no wall
When the world's on my shoulders
I will pray for you all

Is someone there to save us from the voices in the dark
the words fly out like bullets, they leave a deadly mark
the mindless kill their agony with prices from the show
they're heading for tomorrow, but they don't know where to go

So talk to me, the world I see
has reached the point of no return
the tons of grief killed my belief
my heaven's on fire and it burns

When the world's on my shoulders
and the pain comes again
then I wish I could be there
in my dreamland again
There I'm free from the dark
and I'm safe from the wall
When the world's on my shoulders
I will pray for you all

So if you talk to me now about our belief
and all the meaning somehow
is to make people free
All our lives we fear, to be what we hate
breaking this curse with a fire
that burns all the darkness away

Save me, Hold me, Help me
Free me, Love me, Heal me

When the world's on my shoulders
and the pain comes again
then I wish I could be there
in my dreamland again
There I'm free from the dark
and I'm safe from the wall
When the world's on my shoulders
I will pray for you all


9. Opportunity

Opportunity came to my door
when I thought I might need a ride
but I said I'm doing alright
turn around and start to see

Yeah, life is boring- Monday,Tuesday
The machines are roaring-Wednesday,Thursday
Friday, and the rain keeps falling
just like everyday

Time is running-Saturday, Sunday
when there's gonna be some holiday for you?
and time flies, time flies, time flies, time flies

I could be a rich man and I could be a superstar
yeah, what's the aim and what's the plan
please just leave again

Set me free, yeah I wanna live it up
and let me be all that I wanna be
cause the whole world in my hands is down
and nothing will last
oh bring back the harmony

Sweating, nightmares - no way to escape
no, I can't sleep
I'm going down in a sea of madness
Raging anger- Hell or paradise
deep in my dreams
no escape for you, no escape for me

Time flies-gotta think it over
Time flies-better think again
Time flies-living in the real world
Time flies-or living on the edge

I should be a wise man, don't need to be a superstar

Set me free, yeah I wanna live it up
and let me be all that I wanna be
cause the whole world is in my hands now
but nothing will last
oh bring back the harmony

What will you do in the dark
the hand of your fate left it's mark
so don't try to argue with me now

Your Hell ain't a bad place to be
take a look at your life now and see
'cause maybe I will not come back

You stand on the edge of the world
your life will be torn into pieces
The hammer is falling
the world is not waiting for you
hey you think that you know what is real
travelling around for no reason
you better watch out and jump off of my cloud
for your own sake

Set me free, yeah I wanna live it up
and let me be what I wanna be

Set me free, mmh I wanna live it up
and let me be all I wanna be
cause the whole world is in my hands now
and I want it to last
oh

Set me free, yeah
and let me be what I wanna be
the whole world is in my hands now
and I want it to last

Opportunity is me


10. Real World

Here I sit again and think about the world we know
the same old thing, where do we come from and where do we go
Sometimes I worry just too much, sometimes I just don't care
and if you're with me on this point, put your hands high in the air
Let me hear you say Yeah!

Sometimes I'm happy as can be and sometimes feel so low
and what is good and what is bad, I sometimes just don't know
The world is the most crazy place that we could have been
It seems the meaning of our life is going down in sin

So let me live and let me be
your eyes are blind
but I can see

God is an illusion and there ain't no paradise
and there is no underworld below
Out there is no Heaven and there ain't no Antichrist
Welcome to the real World
and the show!

So let me take you down my dear to places you don't know
a land that you have not been to and normally don't go
I have all your pleasure toys, the fortune and the fame
so when you come with me my friend
you'll never be the same

So just say yeah, and come with me
don't be so blind, it's time to see

God is an illusion and there ain't no paradise
and there is no underworld below
Out there is no Heaven and there ain't no Antichrist
Welcome to the real World
and the show!

Don't be afraid now of the faces in the night
and let your body take control
We're going down into the beam of the neon lights
and I will purify your soul
Yeah!

Standing on a razor's edge, lost in space and time
All around the silence falls, prepared to draw the line
A shot, a cry, a flash of light, a bullet hits the wall
Not yet prepared, the fight for life is not yet lost at all

So come with me and let me be the one to lead you home
Like Diamonds we'll be shining bright before we turn to stone

God is an illusion and there ain't no paradise
and there is no underworld below
Out there is no Heaven and there ain't no Antichrist
Welcome to the real World
and the show!

Welcome to the show,
This is the real world
This is the real world
Welcome to the show
Yeah yeah yeah!


11. Hear Me Calling

I 'm high over mountains
I conquer the stormy seas
I 'll capture your fortress
Bring you down on your knees

I'm living the dream
Break the chains of oppression from you
In the Land of the Free
I am calling for you

I might come with thunder
I might come with rain
The choice's not given
I will master your pain

The edge of a dream
See the glimpse of a new horizon
Life is not what it seems
Oh, can't you see

Hear me calling on the wind
Can't you feel the change begins
Hearts of truth will freedom bring
I'm calling on the wind

Hear my prayer
Where's the saviour
Voice of anger will echo with force

Watch the sunrise
Taste of freedom
Heart is bleeding
I ride through the eye of the storm

Hold on to your dreams
Say farewell to the grand illusion
Blinded eyes never see
In the Land of the free

Hear me calling on the wind
Can't you feel the change begin
Hearts of truth will freedom bring
I'm calling on the ...

Hear me calling on the wind
Can't you feel the change begin
Hearts of truth will freedom bring
I'm calling on the wind
On the wind
On the wind


12. Insurrection

I look out to the stormy sea
I wish upon a star
Pulsating light to comfort me
But oh, it seems so far

So as I stand I realize
I wish that I'll be there
About to give up all my life
and vanish in thin air

But I know, as I dream
all the world has passed me by
and I know I should do better
for you and me tonight

I'm coming home, Yeah!

There were stars in the eyes at the masquerade
and the King was lost in the grand illusion
Well, the the day has come , they've lost the way
and the Joker laughs at the mass confusion
They stand and stare

Now listen all you people
This is what I say
Raise my voice in anger
I'm trying to get away
....... from all

Now listen, what you're doing
is just not good at all
the silly games you're playing
are raising up the wall

Time goes by, the world we love
is gone.....forever

Are we ever gonna change our way
Will we ever stop the fury
Is it life or will we just decay
Will we lose or stand in glory

Insurrection-God election
Heavy changes make my day
Storm the spire, Hearts on fire
Storm is coming on its way

Insurrection, Insurrection

Masses will be rising, marching forces neutralising
all the powers in the world with raging fury
Enemies are falling down, their blood is spilled on holy ground
the end is near for maximizing profits

Why do we have to fight, why?
Close your eyes and die

Are we ever gonna change our way
Will we ever stop the fury
Is it life or will we just decay
Will we lose or stand in glory

Insurrection-God election
Heavy changes, disobey
Storm the spire, hearts on fire
Storm is coming on its way

Insurrection

The king of damnation learned from the old
The harvest of fury
Love is the answer, blood is the oath
Red are the canyons, oh

Friend or foe, we have been trying
Kings and Queens, all have been lying
All the same, all devastating
All I see when contemplating hope

Here I stand alone, and I have lost the way
The eyes of a believer, turning to stone
Silent, no more tears, the emptiness is mine
Only Rain is falling, dripping on the trail
Father of the earth, I'm calling you
Dry your tears away and give me hope
Fill my heart with strength
And give power to my soul
Let magic fill the sky and take me home
singing....
ooh, let me go!

Are we ever gonna change our way
Will we ever stop the fury
Is it life or will we just decay
We must fight to stand in glory

Insurrection-God election
Heavy changes, disobey
Storm the spire, hearts on fire
Storm is coming on its way

I look out to the stormy sea
I wish upon a star....

1. My Temple

Watch out the hangmen come
And there is no point in running
Keep cool the damage is done
You`ve got another thing coming
I can`t believe your world... I`d rather have it my way
Go face reality... I`ll never want it your way

No... nothing can save you
You`re gonna be dead!
Die... `cause I only hate you
All words have been said!

So much you wanna say
It`s hidden in your head
No more that I can take
I feel like being had
Your silly words will fade away... you`ve got no future
You cannot feel the pain inside... you little monster

[Chorus]
Come on down into my temple for the earth
Sit in silence and you will hear the words
And if you stay, you`ll never leave, you`ll never walk alone
The saviour of the universe is home

Waiting for tomorrow when the sorrows disappear
Look into the future from the center of my fears
Holy hell please save me from the beast from down below
Shelter me from evil and the darkness of the cold... yeah

Evil comes
Evil`s done

Waiting for tomorrow the saviour never comes
To save us from the future
The world has come undone... yeah

Evil comes... your way
Evil`s done... always... yeah

Sit in silence and you will hear the words
And if you stay, you`ll never leave, you`ll never walk alone

2. Fight

I see a world that`s full of fake and disillusions
I see no move in history
Where am I meant to be?
What is my destiny?
The path I`ve chosen now has lead me to a wall

And though my mind perceived I still was a blind man
And not the one who understands
For life`s a mystery...
Of things your eyes can`t see...
Faith is the key to inspiration!

[Chorus 1]
Carry on!
Carry on my dear old friend
Carry on for there`s love that never ends
Carry on... carry on, carry on, carry on

So I began to trust my instinctive feelings
To live in truth and harmony
One day you realize...
It`s right before your eyes...
Truth is the key to inspiration!

[Chorus 2]
Carry on!
Carry on my dear old friend
Carry on for love will never end
Carry on... carry on, carry on, carry on

In this world
Faith, hope and charity
Lead us to the one

[Chorus 3]
Carry on!
Carry on my dear old friend
Carry on my love will never end
Carry on... carry on, carry on

Carry on and you will see
Life ain`t no misery
Carry on, carry on, carry on

Carry on!
You`ll see the light
Your star is shining bright
Carry on, carry on!


3. Strange World

Here come the riders of the revolution
Their blood is flowing in the pouring rain
Tonight there`s gonna be an execution
Another hungry king will end

Oh... all your tyrant dreams will fall when the quest will end
We`ll rise from the ashes and wait for the call
Against the masters

And we cry for deliverance
We hold the world in our hands
And come the dawn, the future is ours
Sealed with our blood in the sand

[Chorus]
It`s a strange world
A never ending circle
Oh, such a strange world
A never ending circle

Talk to me my holy friend
Why they kiss the killing hand
I fail to understand
No more... and this is the end

Strike with iron will
Time to feed the overkill
Blood flows everywhere
Now the time of hell is here
No more time to waste
All I feel is burning rage in me

I win, you lose
You`ve got nothing to say
You die, I live
Get down and pray

It`s time to kill
We strike with iron will
Here come the riders of the revolution
We fight to live
And we cannot forgive
Here come the riders of the revolution

[Chorus]
Oh yeah... it`s a never ending circle
Oh, it's a strange world
A never ending circle

Oh yeah... it`s a strange world
(a strange world, a never ending circle)
Oh, such a strange world
(strange world, a never ending circle)

Here come the riders of the revolution
Another rider crying revolution... yeah


4. Hell Is Thy Home

Taken where the thunder roars into the blazing light
The hand of fate is crushing down before me
The eyes of god have turned away, no angels are in sight
As I face the final chapter of our story

And now I hear the millions cry - Screaming!
Into oblivion you take their lives
Hell is thy home

[Chorus 1]
Hell is thy home... darkness thy destiny
Where you belong... no need for sympathy
The Antichrist is back again
Disguised as the savior of man

(servants of evil, breed evil)
Storm fills the clouds
I`ll wait for the fall
Sowing the end
Grace comes to fall

And now you`re waiting for a sign - Dreaming
The day is near when all the world is thine
Because hell is thy home... yeah

[Chorus 2]
Hell is thy home... darkness thy destiny
Where you belong... no need for sympathy
Again you watch the millions die
No tears in your eyes
And your followers will hail
The forces of evil won`t fail

In the great white hall
A monster`s working on the fall
It`s bloody war will kill us all

[Chorus 3]
Hell is our home... darkness thy destiny
Where we belong... no need for sympathy
Hell is thy home... darkness thy destiny
Where you belong... no need for sympathy

Hell is our home
Hell is our home
Hell is our home


5. Blood Religion

Clock strikes midnight in the palest moonlight
As the man walks into my bedroom
Heart in hand I hear him speak:
" My friend,
The time has come to rise, my name is Doom.
Ask no questions
There will be an answer soon. "

And we fall through the dark of the underworld
And we`re leaving the light of the day
And I know we will go to the other side
And it seems like I`m going to stay

Hell is home to the gods of the underworld
To the one who will never betray
Now my soul will be here for eternity
And the night will be leading my way

Yeah, bite me!

There was a time when hell was divine
The holy man was nailed to the cross
A fire on ice, burning inside
All my hope and loving was lost

Now hell is my home, the sadness is gone
But don`t you think my soul it is lost
If you really care just hold out your hand
And I will free you all from the cross

The priest is raising hands to do the final execution
Shouting out in agony: " Fear the cross "
I`m digging my claws into his neck and raise him to the ceiling
Gritting my teeth I smell the blood
You are lost!

[Chorus]
Blood red vengeance
I want blood red vengeance
Screaming for blood

I was walking through the darkness
Searching for a white neck to bite
I was restless and the hunger
Carried me on through the night

Yearning vampire: " Fear the cross "
Feel the undead`s... rage and lust

[Chorus]
Blood red vengeance
I want blood red vengeance
Screaming for blood

Into the dark
Blood religion
[Repeat 4 times]

[Chorus 2]
Screaming for blood - blood red vengeance
Screaming for blood - blood red vengeance
Give me your heart - blood red vengeance
I want it all - blood red vengeance
Vengeance... yeah

Give me your love... oh yeah
Oh, love me!


6. Condemned To Hell

Come get some!

Oppression deadly reign
Madmen gone insane
They hate and bring us pain
Bloodlust in their eyes
Getting high on torture cries
They hate and terrorize
They sacrifice

They try to break my will
They claim the right to kill
My world is standing still
I`m lost in hell
They try to make me right
A prisoner no reason why
All I try is to survive
The world`s demise

Chained in darkness - Screaming for the light!
Killing pain to save my life

[Chorus]
Condemned to hell - I`m facing the end of my days
Condemned to hell - Their torches are burning
Condemned to hell - My freedom will burn at the stake
Condemned to hell - The dark age returning

They don`t care, they close their eyes
Kick away our human rights
A world dehumanized
Now tell me... how many gave their lives?
How many have to die?
Killed by official lies
With stars and stripes

Pain and anger - Killing all the light!
Darkness comes... eternal night

[Chorus]
Condemned to hell - I`m facing the end of my days
Condemned to hell - Their torches are burning
Condemned to hell - My freedom will burn at the stake
Condemned to hell - The dark age returning

Chained in darkness - Screaming for the light!
Killing pain to save my life

[Chorus]
Condemned to hell - I`m facing the end of my days
Condemned to hell - Their torches are burning
Condemned to hell - My freedom will burn at the stake
Condemned to hell - The dark age returning

Condemned to hell
Condemned
[Repeat 3 times]

Hell! Hell!
[Repeat `till the end]


7. Spiritual Dictator

Master of delusion he`s sowing seeds of hate
Burning sermons, evil thoughts, he`s bound to seal our fate
Human minds infected by hypnotizing words
Foretelling lies, catastrophes, it`s time for our rebirth

[Pre-chorus]
You`re suffering from pain to clean up your karma
Following the path of no return
Blackening your soul foreswearing your freedom
Killing your hope for living life in peace

[Chorus]
Evil Messiah... the world`s set on fire
He promised salvation but sent you to hell
Almighty liar... satanic desire
Eternal damnation comes after your fall

Spiritual dictator, a murderer in white
Illuminated living god, the reaper with a scythe
A deadly operation, a mass destruction curse
Effective high-tech armoury, a raging storm unfurls

[Pre-chorus]
You`re suffering from pain to clean up your karma
Following the path of no return
Blackening your soul foreswearing your freedom
Killing your hope for living life in peace

[Chorus]
Evil Messiah... the world`s set on fire
He promised salvation but sent you to hell
Almighty liar... satanic desire
Eternal damnation comes after your fall... after your fall

You pay for your salvation enlightenment within
Renouncing the material world, your agony begins
Completely isolated from the outside world
Fellowship will make you all immortal in reverse

[Pre-chorus 2]
You`re suffering pain to clean up your karma
Following the path of no return
Blackening your soul, foreswearing your freedom
Shattering your hope for living life in peace

[Chorus 2]
Evil Messiah... the world`s set on fire
He promised salvation but sent you to hell
Almighty liar... satanic desire
A heart full of anger for no one to see
Evil Messiah...
Eternal damnation comes after your fall


8. Majesty

When the snow is on the mountains
And the valleys freeze again
Bloody horsemen come riding
They storm with the wind

Yearning spirits in the sunlight
Shining armours blind the lamb
Bloody horsemen come roaring
Roar for the end

What happened to our screams and curses?
What happened to our lines and verses?

[Chorus 1]
All falls down when Hell comes crawling
Blood will flow when Satan`s calling
Oh... dark Majesty

In the end there`s no tomorrow
Bloody horsemen ride again
Breathing terror in the sunlight
Blood flows again

I`m sorry for the screams and curses...
What happened to our mindless world?

[Chorus 2]
When all falls down when Satan`s calling
Blood will flow when Hell is crawling
Majesty... oh Majesty
Majesty... dark Majesty

The devil has found an amazing playground
And he will enjoy playing games
Nothing is sacred, nothing is holy
Run to the exit again... if you can

When all this comes, it`s not fair
Blood disciples anywhere... oh yeah!

Still I dream of a tomorrow
When the world is free again
In the end the tyrant`s falling
Love wins again!

The world is just a crazy circus
I can`t accept we`re always cursed

[Chorus 3]
When all falls down when Hell comes crawling
Blood will flow when Satan's calling
Oh... Majesty


9. How Long

So here I stand again on the island of madness and pain
My fate is calling me to walk out of the dark and the rain
If I could go where I can walk, I can run, I can breathe
Where destiny is clear from the smoke and the smell of debris

I raise my hands up to the voices in the sky
Forever I must go and find the other side

[Chorus]
How can we go on from here if we don`t stop the war?
And how can we lose all the fear if we don`t stop the war?

Now you stand before me, you ask me where to go
Just go and do it your way, `cause really I don`t know

My mind is going crazy, my head is spinning round
Been searching for the saviour, he`s nowhere to be found

And when I raise my head up to the sky
Then still the question will be burning in my mind

[Chorus]
How can we go on from here if we don`t stop the war?
And how can we lose all the fear if we don`t stop the war?

How long will it take how long will it take?
How long will it take until we stop the war?

I said...

[Chorus]
How can we go on from here if we don`t stop the war?
And how can we lose all the fear if we don`t stop the war?

How long? How long? How long?
I said
How long? How long? How long?

Stop the war!
[Repeat 5 times]
Fuck the war!
Oh yeah.. yeah.. yeah..


10. Revelation

Save my soul from anguish
Drained from fear to perish
In this world of torment
Save me, please save me from all

We`re riding on a velvet dream
Through ancient lands we`ve never seen
Far across the hands of time
Are we lost forever?

Rules and religions created to hate
To fear and incite, not to love and placate
Compassion for murders, take God`s name in vain
A fortress of evil is built up with pain

[Chorus 1]
I... I saw the signs
Enlighten my mind
Time after time
Silent tears
Shadows of fears
Search for the one
Revelation to come

Silent tears in anguish and in fears
We`re searching for the one
Where we`re all coming from

May your heart be strong and true
For life`s a gift of love to you
In my visions I have seen
The world of mystery

Leading me gently to open the door
I`m searching for answers, can`t stop anymore
Bound by this passion, my faith is unfailed
I`m holding the key to the kingdom of fate

[Chorus 2]
I follow the signs
Time after time
Enlighten my mind
Revelation take me home
Where I belong
Home to the one... yeah

I hear you calling, calling for me
Silent tears are falling
On all that is real... nothing is real

On wings of glory we shall arise
Destiny`s calling
All that is real... nothing is real

Your eyes seem so cold
So wise
Lost before they`re old

It`s our creation
We build a symphony of fears
(no more damnation)
When you reach the ancient hall
Will you trust me when you fall?
To find salvation for your soul...

Oh, is this the end?
Or will I suspend?
I will be strong, Revelation shall come

[Chorus 3]
I follow the signs
Time after time
Enlighten my mind
Revelation take me home
Where I belong
Home to the one... yeah

Silent tears will wash away
All that is real... nothing is real
Do I surrender or is this the end?


11. Hellfire

As You burn my dreams before my eyes,
All I've ever loved
I'm falling through an empty void,
I will not return

I'm falling from grace,
And I'm wrong in this place,
And no-one can save me today
The silence is streaming,
I wish I was dreaming,
And no-one is there who will take it away....

Hellfire - Its burning my soul, I have lost my belief
Hellfire - I burn on the flame, and I cannot break free
Ah ahhh!

Oh, I wish that I could live in peace,
Love and harmony
Someone always brings me down,
Back to misery

I'm riding a twister,
My soul is ablister,
Starting to crack on the road
In tensement he rises,
The beast tantalises,
The harvest, the people have lost all control

Hellfire - Its burning my soul, I have lost my belief
Hellfire - I burn on the flame, and I cannot break free
Ah ahhh!

[Solo]

I'm sick of the silence,
This time calls for violence,
And out of the darkness I rise
Extremely aggressive,
My senses affected,
They swear he's a hero,
I'm ready to fight!

Hellfire - Its burning my soul, I have lost my belief
Hellfire - I burn on the flame, and I cannot break free...

Hellfire

Illuminati
You've come to take control
You can take my heartbeat
But you can't break my soul
We all shall be free

Illuminati
You'll never take control
Your new world order
Will lead to none at all
We all stand before you as one
Heaven is for everyone
To be free from the dark


2. Dethrone Tyranny

Someone is out there he's watching what I do
From far in the distance, his eyes everywhere
I look around me, there's no one that I see
But still I feel someone's controlling my mind

Save your breath and run
You can't escape the one

Time has come, the world lies dying
Our faith has gone, our souls are crying
Resurrecting paradise, cry for freedom
Killing pain, a million lies,
Dethrone tyranny

Forces of evil, they never surrender
Sooner or later the dark era comes

Crying man on the run
He's searching for freedom but there will be none

Time has come, the world lies dying
Our faith has gone, our souls are crying
Resurrecting paradise, cry for freedom
Killing pain, a million lies,
Dethrone tyranny

And as the world is dying slowly in our hands
We'll ask for reasons until the bitter end

Who brings us all the sadness
Who brings us all the fear
Who spreads disease and misery
And steals our destiny

A poisoned heart of anger
Sowing the seeds of pain
All see the darkened skyline
And feel the deadly reign

Time has come, the world lies dying
Our faith has gone, our souls are crying
Resurrecting paradise, cry for freedom
Killing pain, a million lies,
To hell with tyranny


3. Heart Of The Unicorn

Masters are relentless, torture is for slaves
Money, greed and power drives you to obey
Temperature is rising, shakes me to the core
Blood and domination, victims of the law

When bloody angels spread their wings

We're drowning in madness, the heart of the Unicorn...
Dwelling in sadness, the heart of the Unicorn...
...is dead

I see the demons rising, beyond their sleeping void
Deep and down the masters take them to the light
Their piercing rays are blazing, obliterating fast
All dreams are torn to pieces, vaporized at last

When bloody angels spread their wings

We're drowning in madness, the heart of the Unicorn...
Dwelling in sadness, the heart of the Unicorn...
...is dead

I scan the dead horizon, illuminated curse
In squished imagination, catastrophies unfurl
Beyond the cataclysm, a dream of Unicorns
The purest heart in heaven, stabbed by poisoned thorns

Bloody angels, searing with fire-turn to dust

All through the millenniums, I've seen the writing on the wall
Into our oblivion, we are the riders on the storm

We're drowning in madness, the heart of the Unicorn...
Dwelling in sadness, the heart of the Unicorn...
...is dead

Beware - all dead
No light - all dead
No dreams - all dead
No life - you're dead


4. Heaven Or Hell

Where will I go now it's all over
Where will I be now all is said and done
Here comes the time, prepare for justice
Seems like my final journey has begun

Riding on the wind, there's only one place left to go
Take me to my afterlife, high up or down below

Heaven or Hell - where do we go when we are leaving
Heaven or Hell - whatever comes to set us free
Heaven or Hell - I've gone a long way and I see there's no wishing well
The choice is made, it's heaven or hell

I'm not the one who was expected
So I'll return and be from heaven sent
I'm gonna get myself elected
And now I wanna be the president - "Viva el Presidente"

Master of the damned I'll be the savior of you all
Take me as a holy god to save you from the fall

Heaven or Hell - where is my final destination
Heaven or Hell - whatever comes to set us free
Heaven or Hell - we've gone a long way and we'll see there is no wishing well
The choice is made, it's heaven or hell

Master of the damned, I'll be the savior of you all
I'm your revelation I'm a walking miracle

Heaven or Hell - what is our final destination
Heaven or Hell - where do we go from here
Heaven or Hell - we've gone a long way and we see there is no wishing well
The choice is made, it's heaven or hell

Heaven or hell
It's heaven or hell
There's no wishing well
It's heaven or hell


5. New World Order

On wings of tomorrow we're coming to fly
Erasing the sorrow and this is the place where you die
We're shaking the chains off the world of today
We're coming to get you no matter what you're gonna say

This is the time of the ending
It's the dawn of a new world order
This is a new beginning
Where a new world shall arise, we scream
On the wings of yesterday you're gonna die
And you know it's gonna be - we're screaming

This is illumination - we are
We are illuminates - beware
This is illumination - we are
We are illuminates

We live inside society, our presence is unknown
We plot and we manipulate you to which way to go
Illumination comes across the world to bring an end
Intimidating silent force that puts us in command

This is the dawn of the ending
It's the time of a new world order
This is a new beginning
Where a new world shall arise, we scream
On the wings of yesterday you're gonna die
And we know it's gonna be - forever

This is illumination - We are
We are illuminates - Beware
This is illumination - We are
We are illuminates

In the darkness, we shall await
Prepare for changes, to seal your fate

This is illumination - We are
We are illuminates - Beware
This is illumination - We are
We are illuminates


6. Damn The Machine

Damn the Machine
Drilling in the center of my mind
One evil dream
The annihilation of mankind

The stern-faced leaders in their temple of doom
Creating nightmares made for me and for you

Damn the machine
The enemy is stalking in the void
One evil dream
The engine's running faster to destroy

Here come the raiders they're invading us all
We stand in silence with our backs to the wall

Once I believed in the voice of a god
The god of creation is gone

A call from the heart to the god of love
Send us an angel, a sign from above
All of the damned and a silent scream
Save us and damn the machine

The curse - foretold in prophecies is haunting us now
The world - a creeping agony and there's no way out

Caught in illusions I'm screaming in pain
The demon is corroding my brain

A call from the heart to the god of love
Send us an angel, a sign from above
All of the damned and a silent scream
Save us and damn the machine


7. Solid

Leaving the planet, we're coming to burn
Fight for the nation, we know there will be no return
Interstellarian, galactical wars
Now we are feeling we got no...
We got no remorse

Stellarian fighters are ready to strike
She alien vessels are burning tonight

So glorious we'll fly like the eagle in the sky
And I know it's gonna be victory

We're solid - erasing the alien planet
We're solid - erasing the alien planet

The alien tyrants will knock at your door
They come for a reason and they will be coming for more
- yes, they will -
No conversation, agreements to make
Eyes that are gleaming are twisting and sealing your fate
Now it's the time for us all to strike back
All systems prepare for the final attack

So glorious we'll fly like the eagle in the sky
And I know it's gonna be victory

We're solid - erasing the alien planet
We're solid - erasing the alien planet

We're solid
We're solid

So glorious we'll fly like the eagle in the sky
And I know it's gonna be victory

We're solid - erasing the alien planet
We're solid - erasing the alien planet
We're solid
We're solid


8. Fire Below

Lead us not into temptation as we grow in fear
Free your mind from all frustrations as they're drawing near
Take your time, live in sin, choose your alibis
Work all day, die in pain, you're a sacrifice

They're gonna send you down to hell
And put your body on a shelf

This is the island of damnation,
Where all your dreams are gonna fall
Your mind is screaming for salvation
And then your world is gonna blow
Down in the fire below
Below

Silent tears are running down my face into the night
As I'm getting closer to my heart that's full of fright

They lead me down a steep hell spire
And burn my body in the fire

This is the island of damnation,
Where all your dreams are gonna fall
My mind is screaming for salvation
My heart is torn apart and thrown
Into the fire below
Below

They're gonna send you down to hell
And put your body on a shelf

This is the island of damnation,
Where all your dreams are gonna fall
My mind is screaming for salvation
My heart is torn apart and thrown
Into the fire below

The fire below
Go down, to nowhere, go down, down
They take you to Hell
Into the fire
They're taking you down
Into the fire
The fire below


9. Follow Me

Will you follow me into the light
The fortress of wisdom, a star shining bright
The garden of heavenly sin
A kingdom of beauty to please you within

Where do we go from here?
Leaving our memories behind
It's time to free your mind

Hey you!
I'll make your dreams come true
I can take you anywhere
Just call on me and I'll be there

Follow me
And I will guarantee
Your life will never be the same
Hear me callin', won't you follow me

Will you follow me into the fight
You smile as you die when you're close to the light
Your dreams will be lost in the haze
Your innocence dying in so many ways

Where do we go from here?
Leaving our dreams far behind
To fight the final fight

Hey you!
I'll make your dreams come true
I can take you anywhere
Just call on me and I'll be there

Follow me
Satisfaction guaranteed
We'll be in perfect harmony
So follow me, follow me

Where do we go from here?
Reaching our destiny's end
And nothing will remain

Follow me
To the land of make believe
Close your eyes I will be there
And I can take you anywhere

Sacrifice
At the gates of paradise
It's a world full of illusions
By the masters of confusion, follow me...

Will you still follow me?...


10. Eagle

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

Where's it now, the golden future
Where's it gone, the dream come true
All we are, eternal sinners
Hiding in their darkened room

And I hear the cry of an eagle
Out in the heavens he will not obey
I hear the cry of an eagle
Riding on wings of tomorrow
that take me away

I was scared, for a lifetime
I've been had, nuclear crime
Is this never ending, grand catastrophy
Here I am ascending, from this misery

Where's it gone, your golden future
Where's it now, your dream come true
All I see, immortal sinners
Rising fear, I'm leaving you

And I hear the cry of an eagle
Out in the heavens he will not obey
I'm riding the sky like an eagle
Follow the sunrise on wings that will take me away

Faster, faster to the light, in this world too many fights
Devastation, termination, leave the world for recreation

Out in my dreamworld there's a better place to be
'cause all this world is full of lies
Breaking chains that hold me down I fly up to the sun
Another place, another life

I'm riding the sky like an eagle
Out in the heavens I will not obey
I'm riding the sky like an eagle
Follow the sunrise on wings that will take me away
Away...


11. Lake Of Tears

On the edge of the rainbow
Where eagles learn to fly
All of our dreams, they seemed so clear
Into the morning
Into the light of dawn
We're flying higher than before

And when I see the light
that's shining from your eyes
Even brighter than before
We're riding the wind
to reach the golden dawn
We have done it all before

Here I stand
Call on you again
But my heart is filled with fear
Like an eternal flame
Our love will remain
As we sail the lake of tears

Sometimes I wonder
You're so close but you're so far
Seems life will never be the same
Sigh for the morning
To find the light of day
Dream of fortune fades away

Here I stand
Call on you again
But my heart is filled with fear
Like an eternal flame
Our love will remain
As we sail the lake of tears

Here I stand
Call on you again
But my heart is filled with fear
Like an eternal flame
Our love will remain
As we sail the lake...
Here I stand
Call on you again
But my heart is filled with fear
All the tears that I've cried
For the love of my life
As I sailed the lake of tears
Like an eternal flame
Our love will remain
As we sail the lake of tears


12. Trouble

Watch your step 'cause I'm the king
'Cause now I ain't got the blues
I am here to waste my time
I ain't got news for you
I'm sick and tired of waiting here
So what you gonna do?
No more hey, don't fool around
Get down and play it cool

Ain't got no reason
And I ain't got no rhyme
All I want is to be with you
And have a real good time

Here comes trouble, trouble
I'm going down, down, down on you
Here comes trouble, trouble
I'm going down, down, down on you

Ha ha, you know what I like, yeah

Momma can't you see me now?
I wish I could be doing
How we please but it's too late
I left a message on your mobile line
I wish I could be doing
How it's fine but I'm no saint, no

I ain't got no reason
And I ain't got no rhyme
All I want is to be with you
And have a real good time

Here comes trouble, trouble
I'm going down, down, down on you
Here comes trouble, trouble
I'm going down, down, down on you

[Guitar / Organ solo]

I ain't got no reason
I ain't got no rhyme
All I want is to be with you
And have a real good time

Here comes trouble, trouble
I'm going down, down, down on you
Here comes trouble, trouble
I'm going down, down, down on you

1. Anywhere In The Galaxy
Staring out the window
At places in the starlit horizon
I'm waiting in the darkness
For arrival
But the sands of my time are running low
Lost and stranded far away from home
Peeping through the window in the darkness - parted in our hearts
Glowing turning circles where we go - no, they won't let go, let go
Blind our souls with raging burning madness
Out in the heavens we're ready to fight
Too late to cry
The final conclusion is roaring inside
Too proud to die
Gaze at the stars, the glowing god of mars
Is shining for us, anywhere in the galaxy
Time is right for us to see,
the world will long for liberty
The fallen heroes calling me,
anywhere in the galaxy
Anywhere ... in the galaxy
Anywhere ... in the galaxy
And now our blood is boiling
on the edge of life
Where is the place for our survival
Up to the stars, we have come from the night
Too late to cry
The final conclusion is roaring inside
Too proud to die
Gaze at the stars, the glowing god of mars
Is shining for us, anywhere in the galaxy
Time is right for us to see,
the world will long for liberty
Fallen heroes calling me,
anywhere in the galaxy
Anywhere in the galaxy,
we will fight for our destiny
Anywhere in the galaxy,
we will always run free
Anywhere in the galaxy,
Anywhere in the galaxy

And now the story finally ends,
with no disgrace for our survival
Outrageous fury in my hands,
and turning circles turn no more
Too late to cry
Out in the heavens we're ready to fight
Too proud to die
the final conclusion is roaring inside
Gaze at the stars, the glowing god of mars
Is shining for us, anywhere in the galaxy
Time is right for us to see,
the world will long for liberty
Fallen heroes calling me,
anywhere in the galaxy
Anywhere in the galaxy
Anywhere in the galaxy


2. Razorblade Sigh

Out of the valley of death,
the man turns his back
Stares up to the hills, his eyes burning red
He licks his palm, with brown dried blood
Turns, grinning teeth, up to his lord
The darkness of the night
turns bright at his cry,
So quiet but deadly
Burning deep within, and now he will begin
He cries out to his lord forevermore
It's the razorblade sigh,
shooting up to the sky
Blood on the wings, one of the kings
There's a burning within,
when the storm closes in
He is one of a kind, in the hands of time
Razorblade
His raging fire burns you with desire
As you're taken down into his gravity
He wants you now, into his masterplan
And he'll be taking you into his dignity
Tires are burning on the way through hell
Fallen angel set me free
Wheels are turning, take me far below
Holding out my hands in victory

It's the razorblade sigh,
shooting up to the sky
Blood on the wings, one of the kings
There's a burning within,
as the storm closes in
He is one of a kind, in the hands of time
Razorblade, Razorblade
Death angel is coming,
you see him ride across the land
Time in his hands
The darkness of the night
turns bright at his cry
It's burning deep within
He cries for more
As I awake,
at the end of the road there's a rainbow
Slowly he'll fade, the dawning of time
On the wings of the razor ...
As I awake,
at the end of the road there's a rainbow
Slowly he'll fade away, the dawning of time
On the wings of the razorblade


3. Send Me A Sign

Out of the dark
He came without a warning
The guarding light
I didn't see ...
On a storytellers night
He spoke his words of wisdom
The tales he told from far beyond
That no one understood
He had the gift of prophecy
He wove a web of mystery
A thousand lives shone gracious in his eyes
Send me a sign -
For too long you kept me waiting
Send me a sign - From the eternal skies
Send me a sign
Send me a sign
He disappeared
In the early haze of morning
And with him left his prophecies
They didn't care ...

All the years that passed away
He's locked inside my head
His tales became reality
The prophecies he said
He was the chosen one to see
His words will burn eternally
It hurts, that no one understands
Send me a sign -
For too long you kept me waiting
Send me a sign - From the eternal skies
Send me a sign
Send me a sign
He had the gift of prophecy
He gave a guarding light to me
I know, he set my spirit free
Send me a sign ... Send me a sign
Send me a sign -
For too long you kept me waiting
Send me a sign - To open their eyes
Send me a sign
Send me a sign
Send me a sign
Send me a sign


4. Strangers In The Night

We lay our souls into your hands
and our freedom remains
We ride on wings of hope
and our star will rise again
Run before you die -
can't you hear the warning
No regrets tonight - now your end is coming
It's your sacrifice - to destroy your body
Now you pay the price -
raging fury lasts forever
Their mission is so glorious
Rising hope in all of us
There we stand united hand in hand
They come from a land far beyond
A million miles behind the sun
They come from nowhere brave inside
Strangers in the night

Time is running by - no more deadly spirals
Now we realize - pray for our survival
Eyes are shining glorious
Marching in victorious
There they stand united hand in hand
They come from a land far beyond
A million miles still riding on
They come from nowhere brave inside
Strangers in the night
They come for freedom, Come to fight
Come to save us all
We are one until we die, Waiting for the call
They come from a land far beyond
A million miles behind the sun
They come to lead us to survive
Strangers in the night
We lay our souls into your hands
and our freedom remains
We ride on wings of hope
and our star will rise again


5. Gardens Of The Sinner

As the heat is rising, out there in the past
Fallen angels calling, they have come to last
They are coming out of the dark
Then the horsemen ride out,
everything grows cold
Now their armies march in,
out there from the underworld
I do not want my eyes to see,
I never wanted to believe
Take me to the gardens of the sinner,
Bury me and let me rest in peace
Now the time of truth has come for everyone
The fallen angel stands in victory
The final seal was broken,
it opened up the gates
For the dark avengers,
their anger kills the light and then ...
I do not want my eyes to see,
I never wanted to believe

Take me to the gardens of the sinner,
Bury me and let me rest in peace
Now the time of truth has come for everyone
The fallen angel stands in victory
As the seventh angel opened up the seal
His curse brought endless decease
And as the wind carried the deadly seed
to the minds of the doomed,
They were gone for the stage of hell
Take me to the gardens of the sinner,
Take me down and let me rest in peace
Now the time of truth has come for everyone
The fallen angel laughs and grins, now...
Take me to the gardens of the sinner,
Bury me and let me rest in peace
Celebrate the time of truth for everyone
The fallen angel stands in victory ...


6. Short As Hell

So now we talk about destruction,
A human race that's left to die
Nobody ever will believe it
Until we face it eye to eye
Let's talk about hell
Our future shines in darkest colours,
You'll never change it, never will
Ain't nothing left now to believe in
And so we face the overkill
Hey mother mercy leave me be
Do you expect me now to cry
Time will wait for no one
Time is short as hell
Time, Time, Time, is short as hell
All is lost, into the underworld we fade
until our life is gone
count the cost,
then from the darkness wiped away
into the underworld we fade
where darkness awaits
Time will wait for no one
Time is short as hell, hell, hell
Time ...


7. It's A Sin

When I look back upon my life
It's always with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin

Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin

At school they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didn't quite succeed
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin

Father, forgive me, I tried not to do it
Turned over a new leaf, then tore right through it
Whatever you taught me, I didn't believe it
Father, you fought me, 'cause I didn't care
And I still don't understand

So I look back upon my life
Forever with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to - it's a sin

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin


8. Heavy Metal Universe

We're the masters of the wind
We're demons left in howl
We're the undefeated warriors
We have heard the call
We're the keepers and the leaders
Of the only thing we love
We're the saviours
and protectors from above
In our sky there is no limits
And masters we have none
Heavy Metal is the only one
'Cause it's a Heavy Metal universe
With a Heavy Metal sound
Masters of the thunder
Shake you to the ground
It's a Heavy Metal bomber
And it's never going down
Flying 'cross the universe
We're Heavy Metal bound
We're Heavy Metal bound
With a burning hot desire
Like a supersonic blast
We have come to show the world
That we have come to last
There ain't no way to stop us
And you'll never kill our pride
'Cause it's not only music
It's a chosen way of life
And our world has got no borders
And in union we all stand
'Cause Heavy Metal is our promised land
'Cause it's a Heavy Metal universe
With a Heavy Metal sound
Masters of the thunder
Shake you to the ground

It's a Heavy Metal bomber
And it's never going down
Flying 'cross the universe
We're Heavy Metal bound
We're Heavy Metal bound
See my hands held to the sky
Let me rock you 'til forever
Raise your voice we're soaring high
Swear allegiance now or never
Burning up we build a flame
As we speak the oath together
Metal is our way forever...
...way forevermore
Our world has got no borders
And in union we all stand
Heavy Metal is our promised land
It's a Heavy Metal universe
With a Heavy Metal sound
Masters of the thunder
Shake you to the ground
It's a Heavy Metal bomber
And it's never going down
Flying 'cross the universe
We're Heavy Metal bound
We're Heavy Metal bound


9. Wings Of Destiny

Do you remember the days
When living was meant to be free
Not looking for fortune,
not looking for fame
The beauty of life was the key
We lived as one to conquer the world
A thousand dreams to come true
We knew in the end we'll find
The meaning of life and the truth
Once proud and full of passion
we formed a better world
We fought against oppression
and wisdom was our sword
On the path of glory
we searched the rainbows end
Lives meant to share,
where's the sign that we'd sent?

On sad wings of destiny
We're kings without a throne
If you believe in unity
Believe, 'cause you're not alone
Sad wings of destiny
The haunting thoughts of pain
The world's a patient majesty, but believe
The time, the time will take its toll
Now it's the time for a change
The days of your childhood are gone
The fool and the wise man
will burn at the stake
Confusion remaining too long
Violence and hate I won't see anymore
The innocent victims of fate
The prophets have written
their words on the wall
Wake up before it's too late
On the path of glory
we searched the rainbows end
Lives meant to share,
where's the sign that we'd sent?
On sad wings of destiny
We're kings without a throne
If you believe in unity
Believe, 'cause you're not alone
Sad wings of destiny
The haunting thoughts of pain
The world's a patient majesty, but believe
Believe, if you won't change your mind
All will remain the same
And soon, we'll find a common end
On the path of glory
we'll search the rainbows end
Lives meant to share,
where's the sign that we'd sent?
On sad wings of destiny
We're kings without a throne
If you believe in unity
Believe, 'cause you're not alone
Sweet child of innocence
Are you drowning in your tears?
The time has come for you my friend
Don't hide from evil made by your own hands
Let us try to fly again
One day we'll rise again
On wings of hope to be free ...


10. Hand Of Fate

Now... that all seems so quiet
And we all have survived
But after all
Still we fear
The hand of fate...tonight
Men on the mountain
From hell you came to destroy
The realm of our freedom
Endangered to fade in the void
Now they are back on the earth
Taking their wrath to our land
An ocean full of darkness awaits
We will resist, fight until the end
And down below the dark lord waits
To fight our souls with hate,
Our hearts with rage
10.000 dreams, for glory rise
Now they're awaiting
the hand of fate tonight
So we have gathered here
beyond the endless skies
And we are marching on and on
forever more
For the dark lord - he must fall
Out on the edge of the world
The wasted years are coming to an end
The oceans of evil shall fade
Master of doom - we're taking it back again
Deep in our hearts we hear
The call of the wild
Spirits of yesterday will fly away
10.000 dreams, for glory rise
Now they're awaiting
the hand of fate tonight
10.000 dreams, for glory rise
Now they're awaiting
the hand of fate tonight
10.000 dreams, and still we ride
Now we're awaiting
the hand of fate tonight


11. Armageddon

Now all you sinners, this is the prophecy
The revelation of your own destiny
You had a dream once,
a dream that you have sold
And now my brothers,
annihilation is foretold
Will you remember ancient times,
when we rode across the air,
When the day of judgement comes
And when your world is gonna blow
Through your heart and take your soul
In the twilight of the sun
I believe there's no tomorrow
when we all will sink in sorrow
When the day of judgement finally comes
It's the end of the world as we know it
And it's only just begun
The eyes of the world are closin' forever
When the day of judgement will come
Won't you help me now
Now tell me mother earth
oh, what went wrong
In the heart of everyone
Do you remember how it had begun
In the desert in the twilight of the sun
All dead and gone
Can you heal me, I am not the only one
Can you feel me, I don't want to be undone
I'm everyone
Save me from this living hell
I don't wanna know another tale
Someone help me through this on the way
Hear me now
It's the end of the world as we know it
And it's only just begun
The eyes of the world are closin' forever
When the day of judgement will come
Won't you help me now

All gods creation is finally dead and gone
Our revelation, the day of judgement comes
Forevermore I stand alone
The final fury has begun,
when the day has come
Guardians of the monsters of the earth
Take our lives away
and you forever will be cursed
Keepers of the darkness in this world
We will not surrender to the evil of your birth
Hope will never die,
And the clear blue sunny sky
will ease the pain,
Guardians of the monsters of the earth
Lead us not into temptation
Save us from the revelations
I stand alone, I stand alone,
I stand alone, Inside my head
No one can hear, no one can hear,
no one can hear, my little word
Holy father, take me on your wings of love
I wish that I could be forever free, oh yeah
It's the end of the world as we know it
And it's only just begun
The eyes of the world are closin' forever
When the day of judgement has ...
End of the world as we know it
And it's only just begun
The eyes of the world are closin' forever
When the day of judgement HAS come
Won't you help me now

[Epilogue:]
Now all you sinners
This is the prophecy
the revelation of your own destiny
Sleep well and dream on
The dream that you have sold
And now my brothers,
this world is slowly getting cold
