1. Persistence of Time
Persistence of Time
We wanted to be a part of a story
That could have been told apart from the truth
As hard as a rock we just stayed together
A wish that was formed only by youth
We're here and we're now, no time to surrender
A question of time, there's no reason why
Donít wait for a sign
Persistence of time
Doesn't matter the fate that happens to you
Just caught in a game the people called your life
Persistence of time
Doesn't matter the fate that happens to you
Your life goes down in flames, the days full of disgrace
We ought to be young just now and forever
Never a change always the same
Bound to be free no time for pretenders
But we realized, you can't beat the time
Without losing games
Donít wait for a sign
Just make up your mind
We wanted to be a part of a story
That could have been told apart from the truth
But we realized, you can't beat the time
Without losing games
We'll never get back to where we came from
It's all over now
Time
Thereís something we could never change
There's no disguise
Where do they go
Intuition to hide
Words & Music : O. Scheer, G. Naschke
2. No Control
No Control
I can't control myself
There's nothing I could hide
I can't control myself
I feel the that fire that burns deep inside
This sea of violence
I'll never regret I gave them feelings they'll never forget
I'm not their enemy
Some love, somewhere to find I'm not their enemy
Like brother and sister, blood on blood
I can't control myself
But they don't realize
I try to hurt myself
To find a way for me to carry on
So I'll never be together
With myself all alone
I'm sittin' here to read the lines
The news have spread about my mind
Just try to find a way to stay
Away from hiding day by day
They'll never know the reason why
A broken heart could be so cruel
My truth will always be a lie
Another girl that will be mine
Words & Music : O. Scheer, G. Naschke, S. Lagleder, M. Mehl, P. Kolias
3. Say Goodbye
Say Goodbye
I hold our memories
And I try to understand
It felt like forever
As we swore to stay as friends
As I'm lost in my memories
I still try to understand
It feels like forever
Turned into a sudden end
It feels like it's over now
But it happens everyday
That you beg me to stay
When will we say goodbye
When will we take away our tears
When will we realize
That something goes wrong and noone cares
One day will tear us apart
Though we tried to move on closer
But I know, it's time to go
Now we live in our memories
I could never understand
That I broke my promise
I took away my helping hand
I broke my promise that day
When I took my hand
Took my hand away
Words & Music : O. Scheer, G. Naschke
4. Voices In My Mind
Voices in my Mind
Misery and trouble
That's nothing you can hide
Unemployed and out of money
Change would be right on time
So we should never close our eyes
They say we're nothing without dimes
But deep in the night
I hear the voices calling
I hear the voices in my mind
I hear the voices
Luxury and lightness
That's all I wanted to find
But nothing good I will never ever
Get in return for my life
Words & Music : M. Mehl, O. Scheer, G. Naschke
5. The Hidden
6. Somewhere
Somewhere
I'm walking in the shadows
Of the night
Feels like I'm in the attic
Where is our light
What should I do
What should I say
Is this our way, is that the way
See the sky it's falling down
Rain keeps filling my eyes
Ain't no way, ain't no return
We should never come back
Somewhere I'll be waiting for you
When it's time to be together
Holding you forever
'Cause somewhere I'll be waiting for you
When it's time there will be somewhere
Someone who's waiting for you
I'm lost without that shadow
I fear the light I'll never know the reason
They always gave me good advice
Where are we now
What are we waiting for
Just take a look in my eyes
Get into my soul We're gonna fly
Words & Music : M. Mehl, O. Scheer, G. Naschke
7. Where Are We Now
Where are we now
"What?", you said
I hear your voice crying
I hear the wind
We gotta stand up and fight
Through the desert storm
Sand in the eyes
Something's wrong
Through the desert storm
I need your advice
Don't leave me alone
I hear you saying
"We're gonna reach for the sky . . ."
I see the trees
I see the water
Through the desert storm
Sand in the eyes
Something's wrong
Through the desert storm
I need your advice
Don't leave me alone
Where do you think we're going
Until the end of time
Without a sigh
Without a sound of silence
Where are we now
Tell me where are we now
Now you're praying
I'm running out of my mind I feel the fire
I feel the freezing inside
Words & Music : P. Kolias, S. Lagleder,G. Naschke + Châlice
8. Hold You Back
Hold You Back
I hear the voices calling
Far away
I see you cryin'
Deep in the night
Remember I have told you
We must try
To make it better
Apart from our line
You didn't even notice
Why I pray
I keep it right that
You don't want to stay
I could take you wherever I go
But you will never understand
Something in our love
Has gone away
It's now the sadness
That blues everyday
I could take you wherever I go
But you will never understand
I could tell you whatever I do
But you will never understand
I could hold you back
Something in my heart tells me to try
I see you cryin' ( I feel like cryin')
I could hold you back
Something in my heart tells me to try
I hear you cryin' (It's me I'm dyin')
Deep in the night
I see the stars are
Falling from the sky
I hear the voices calling far away
Deep inside us
A never ending rain
Words & Music : P. Kolias, G. Naschke + Châlice
9. First Day
The First Day
The very first day
That you went away
It wasn't easy but I didn't care
I thought it would pass
Would be blown away
This silly feeling of an empty day
The second day
I wrote down some notes
Another mood had covered my eyes
Still alone I drink some red wine
I wish that you were here again
A weekend has gone
The next's coming soon
I try to pretend that I ain't missing you
I have some good friends
I have my guitar
When Iím down and out I hold a picture inside my heart
But I can't make it I'm not getting through
This long dark tunnel Iím trying to pass
I cannot stand it being alone
I'm gonna do much more than you would ever guess
I see you in everything I do
No more lies itís time to tell the truth
Nights I wake up by calling your name
Days I'm dreaming we're together again
I know that Iíve sold my soul
To Our love as I lost control
Everyday that I can hardly exist
Brings on the night Iíd give my life for your kiss
From all the mistakes
All the bad times
Don't want to remember, I closed up my mind
I'm thinking of you
Of a real new life
Where we'll be together
I'll be at your side
Out there it's raining I'm sitting alone
I try to think about something else
I cannot escape I pick up the phone
I try to call you though I know you're not there
I'm missing you
There's nothing else I can do
Still love you and I cry for you
I still want you and Iím missing you
Nights I wake up by calling your name
Days I'm dreaming we're together again
Music : P. Kolias, Words: P. Kolias, S. Lagleder, O. Scheer, G. Naschke
10. Reaching For The Limits
Reaching for the Limits
I'm out of trouble no one stands in my way
I've found a way to make my living
Gives me strength to face the day
And if you think that I'm not looking too good
I 'll tell you don't come any nearer
You've seen more than I think you should
Don't need your compassion
Don't need your laws and rules
Drugs against depression
And laughter for the fools
I'm reaching for the limits
I'm far beyond the top
Take me to the limit
And we ain't gonna stop
I'm reaching for the limits
I'm feelin' good today
Take me to the limit
And get out of my way
Got no illusions I know what's goin' on
The world's a market-square of sinners
And I'm just another one
There was a time when I had different thoughts
When I believed in love and passion
And the light of the stars above
Don't need your compassion
I know I'm comin' through
Drowning in depression
And sometimes thinking of you
Words & Music : S. Lagleder
11. T.W.I.M.T.B.
The Way it's meant to be
Hello, my dear old friend
I talk to you again
After all these years
Tell me what we're doing here
Are we dead or are we still alive
Say it loud, say it clear
Is there no reason for my fear
Are we really satisfied
Your face is looking good
'Cause you did everything you said you would
But if you had the chance
Would you do it all again
Or is this the greatest lie on earth
Say it now, say it loud
Is there a reason to be proud
The passing days what are they worth
Is this the way it's meant to be
Empty hearts and broken dreams
Is this our life and is this me
What have I lost to feel so weak
It's been a long way down
I touched forbidden ground
And hidden memories
Make me cry and make me scream
For the paradise so long away
And is she really still the one
The heroine of all my songs
Can I face another day
Is this the way it's meant to be
Broken promises are all I see
Now there is you and here is me
Untold crimes and misery
Long ago, so long away
It used to be so good
Turn back time Oh, how I wish I could
Hello, my sweet young friend
I talk to you again
Now, can I give you some advice
Just the one thing you must try
To find your own way in the end
Start a new life with the blue-eyed witch
Just to find out she's a bitch
But at least you've got a friend
Words & Music : S. Lagleder
