1. Hole in My Head
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
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
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
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
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
"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
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
8. Dragonflies
9. Goodbye to Jane
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
