1. Inertia
(Lücking, Lohmann, Staubach)
Hollow pain
Cutting straight in my flesh
Something�s diggin� it�s way through me
Silent scream
Waiting to be torn apart
A nightmare becomes reality
Defenceless at the mercy of the Gods in white
Trusting blind, �cause I fear the black demon inside
Refrain:
Inertia � who�s gonna let me fall asleep?
Inertia � who�s gonna bring me back to life?
I cannot move
Congealed in liquid fear
To be damned in suffering
Inertia
Embraced by solitude
And betrayed by the living
Helpless � awake in darkness � does really nobody care ?
I feel so insecure, this is more than I can bear
Refrain:
Inertia � who�s gonna let me fall asleep?
Inertia � who�s gonna bring me back to life?
Inertia � who�s gonna let me fall asleep?
Inertia � who�s gonna bring me back to life?
Please, let me fall asleep
And bring me back to life
Drifting awake � will I be purified ?
Drifting away on a dark velvet stream
Will you hold me tight ?
Solo: Gerd Lücking
Refrain:
Inertia - who�s gonna let me fall asleep?
Inertia � who�s gonna bring me back to life?
Inertia � who�s gonna let me fall asleep?
Inertia � who�s gonna bring me back to life?
I�M DYING INSIDE OUT
2. Trapped
(Lohmann, Lücking, Staubach)
Helpless
Eyes are burning in frozen fire
My ears are locked in squealing pain
Losing control, I�m screaming in vain
Refrain:
I don�t fear death � I�m afraid to die
Lost in myself with blinded eyes
Trapped!
Breathless
Everything is hazy around me
My mouth is retching moaning darkness
Reducing me to a trembling mass
Refrain:
I don�t fear death � I�m afraid to die
Lost in myself with blinded eyes
I don�t fear death � I�m afraid to die
Lost in myself with blinded eyes
Trapped under the sword of destiny
Hundreds of graveyards, a funeral in my head
When it�s time � it�s time
Who will stop the world and give me shelter ?
Chase the demon and set me free ...
Claustrophobia
Solo: Oliver Lohmann
Refrain:
I don�t fear death � I�m afraid to die
Lost in myself with blinded eyes
I don�t fear death � I�m afraid to die
Lost in myself with blinded eyes
Trapped
3. Fade Away
(Lohmann, Mischon, Staubach)
How much more pain do I have to suffer ?
How many more prayers do I have to speak ?
How much more pain do I have to suffer, before you�ll release me ?
Bridge:
Feel the shades � shades of my hope slippering through my hands, it slowly dies
Feel the shades � shades of my dreams in my arms and I couldn�t avert
� It vanished like an hour-glass
Refrain:
These are the days that I die � and I just fade away
All of my dreams swept aside � and I just fade away � again
How many more times do I have to die ?
How many more times must I drown myself ?
How many more times do I have to die, before I can live again ??
Bridge:
Feel the shades � shades of my hope slippering through my hands, it slowly dies
Feel the shades � shades of my dreams in my arms and I couldn�t avert
� It vanished like an hour-glass
Refrain:
These are the days that I die � and I just fade away
All of my dreams swept aside � and I just fade away
Solo: Oliver Lohmann
Shades of my dreams � it slowly dies � it vanished like an hour-glass
Feel the shades
Refrain:
These are the days that I die � and I just fade away
All of my dreams swept aside � and I just fade away
These are the days that I die � and I just fade away
All of my dreams swept aside � and I just fade away again
4. Together as One
(Mischon, Staubach)
If one of us should die to keep us alive
I�m not afraid to leave
My spirit remains, we share this sacrifice
You�re a part of my fate
Refrain:
Together as one, different minds
A merger by seperation
Always dreamt to set us free
For one of us this dream comes true
Can I deal with death which makes me survive ?
Forever still in you
Refrain:
Together as one, different minds
A merger by seperation
Together as one, different souls
A merger by seperation
We have been torn apart
Together as one
When I close my eyes, I see myself in you
Always remember we shall meet at the end of the circle
Solo: Gerd Lücking / Oliver Lohmann
Refrain:
Together as one, different minds
A merger by seperation
Together as one, different souls
A merger by seperation
5. Invisible Enemy
(Lohmann, Staubach)
The scent of death is haunting me
Swallowed up from the inside
Invisible enemy - parasite
Blinded by paranoia, nutriment for the disease
Nobody�s save, there are no guarentees !
Bridge:
Why can�t I hear myself screaming in silence ?
I listen to me, try to understand myself but I can�t hear the answer
Refrain:
Oh, I fear the unknown, fear what I can�t see
Oh, I fear the invisible enemy
Sinister ghosts are whispering, dying in great pain
Black death of the 20th century, I�m drivin�insane
Bridge:
Why can�t I hear myself screaming in silence ?
I listen to me, try to understand myself but I can�t hear the answer
Refrain:
Oh, I fear the unknown, fear what I can�t see
Oh, I fear the invisible enemy
Oh, I fear the unknown, fear what I can�t see
Oh, I fear the invisible enemy
Oh - why can�t I be silent to hear what I�ve to tell me ?
Solo: Oliver Lohmann
Refrain:
Oh, I fear the unknown, fear what I can�t see
Oh, I fear the invisible enemy
Oh, I fear the unknown, fear what I can�t see
Oh, I fear the invisible enemy
Invisible enemy
Invisible - invincible
6. Tortured by Memories
(Lohmann, Staubach)
Solo: Gerd Lücking
All over the world they knew my name
Adored like Gods, sons of fortune
Remember my walk of fame
Cherished by the audience
Whatever I did, I won the game
Bridge:
Riding the wave of celebrity, dive into oblivion
Drowning in the shadow of a black box, emerge to the limelight
Reflections of my shattered life
How could it have come to this ?
Memories make my heart bleed
I lost track of things
The spell is broken, welcome to reality
Refrain:
When you�ve fallen for seven times � I�ve been tortured
Got to get up eigth times � I�ve been tortured by memories
Solo: Oliver Lohmann
After all the ups and downs, I�ll be back again
What doesn�t kill me makes me stronger
Break through the darkness � lock up the past
I am � I�m real � I am the one who�s
Bridge:
Riding the wave of celebrity, dive into oblivion
Drowning in the shadow of a black box, emerge to the limelight
Refrain:
When you�ve fallen for seven times � I�ve been tortured
Got to get up eigth times � I�ve been tortured by memories
Memories of your faces, your screams, the thrill each time I met you
I want it back
The more time passes, the more I miss what I had
I want it back again
Solo: Oliver Lohmann
Bridge:
Riding the wave of celebrity, dive into oblivion
Drowning in the shadow of a black box, emerge to the limelight

Got to get up eigth times � I�ve been tortured by memories
I have been tortured ... I have been tortured by memories
7. In Doom
8. All These Years
(Lücking, Lohmann, Staubach)
Go!
Now here I stand amongst my unfulfilled dreams
Black ghosts of my past surround me
I�m awakening out of nothing
Without a destination, without a memory
Solo: Oliver Lohmann
Here I stand lonely with my life
Nothing lasts for eternity
I�m betraying myself, I�m deceiving myself
How much longer can I lie to me ?
Refrain:
All these years have passed � for all the undone things I grieve
All these years have passed me by � who am I ? what did I achieve ?
Now here I stand amongst my wasted opportunities
All my sacrifice was in vain
If I look at this face in the mirror now
I don�t know this man � I feel ashamed
Refrain:
All these years have passed � for all the undone things I grieve
All these years have passed me by � who am I ? what did I achieve ?
Who am I ? what did I achieve ?
Oh, what if I could turn back the time
Solo: Oliver Lohmann
Refrain:
All these years have passed � for all the undone things I grieve
All these years have passed me by � who am I ? what did I achieve ?
All these years have passed � for all the undone things I grieve
All these years have passed me by � who am I ? what did I achieve ?
Who am I ? what did I achieve ? who am I ? what did I achieve ?
9. The Puppeteer
(Lohmann, Staubach)
Hey you, superstar � welcome to the world of lies
Deprived of human rights until you die
I�m the one who let you breathe, who let you suffocate
Now I�m your only friend, the master of your fate
When you think nobody cares, I will be there
Big Brother�s watching you everytime and everywhere
Refrain:
The puppeteer designs your world, brings life to you
The puppeteer ever creates the truth
Are you ready for a rodeo through human tragedies?
A daily race for the ultimate headline
No remorse at humanity
Enjoy your life on sunny side, I�ll bring back the rain
I can wait, my time will come, your downfall is my fame
Refrain:
The puppeteer designs your world, brings life to you
The puppeteer ever creates the truth
The puppeteer designs your world, brings life to you
The puppeteer ever creates the truth
Why are you here ? what do you want ?
Who has admitted you into my world ?
Don�t come any closer, you�re not invited
Get out of my life � just leave me alone
I�m beyond your power!
Solo: Gerd Lücking / Oliver Lohmann / Gerd Lücking / Oliver Lohmann
I�m the one who makes you rise and who makes you fall
You�re my puppet, nothing but daddy�s little dancer
Hey you, superstar � you always belong to me, I am your maker!
Refrain:
The puppeteer designs your world, brings life to you
The puppeteer ever creates the truth
The puppeteer designs your world, brings life to you
The puppeteer ever creates the truth
The puppeteer � the puppeteer ever creates your truth
The puppeteer designs your world, brings life to you
10. But My Freedom
(Lohmann, Lücking, Staubach, Mischon)
Do not press me, don�t judge about the way I�ve gone
Do not decide about my life - haha
It�s me � possessed by the demon, welcome to schizophrenia
Black cat on my shoulder, I�m gripped in paranoia
Do not push me, don�t moan about the things I�ve done
Do not damage my strength
Walking on a thin line, one step closer to insanity
No remorse and no regret, who ever cared about me ?
Bridge:
Hell � I�m gonna see ya in - hell � I�m gonna see ya
I�ve never been a part of your world
Refrain:
I want nothing but my freedom � the ghosts I�ve summoned are haunting me
Want nothing but my freedom � the ghosts I�ve summoned are chaining me
Do not moralize, don�t slave my independence
Do not try to control me
The serpent took my innocence, banished me under it�s spell
Flying higher � stronger than ever, breaking limits, trespass to
Bridge:
Hell � I�m gonna see ya in - hell � I�m gonna see ya
I�ve never been a part of your world
Refrain:
I want nothing but my freedom � the ghosts I�ve summoned are haunting me
Want nothing but my freedom � the ghosts I�ve summoned are tempting me
Captured in the spiral to oblivion
Once I rode the demon, now the demon rides me
And I see his face in mine
Solo: Gerd Lücking
Refrain:
Want nothing but my freedom � the ghosts I�ve summoned are haunting me
Want nothing but my freedom � the ghosts I�ve summoned are chaining me
I want nothing but my freedom � the ghosts I�ve summoned are haunting me
I want nothing but my freedom � the ghosts I�ve summoned are tempting me
They are killing me ...
11. Free Will
(Lohmann, Staubach)
Day of birth
Did you choose your part in the arena of life?
Born into rules � is there any choice at all ?
Reglementation � education
The plague of humanity
Take my decisions � revolution
The lie of reality
Refrain:
Free will � the trigger of society�s threat
Refuse their control - free will � the only thing you never had
Hours of death
Darkness fills your eyes with grievous regret
You recognize: your freedom was an illusion
Decency - morality
Restraining all you meant to be
Dehumanize � no more compromise
Feed your instincts to set your mind ...
Refrain:
Free will � the trigger of society�s threat
Free will � the only thing you never had
Solo: Oliver Lohmann / Gerd Lücking
Reglementation � education
The plague of humanity
Take my decisions � revolution
The lie of reality
Refrain:
Free will � the trigger of society�s threat
Refuse their control - free will � the only thing you never had
Free will � the trigger of society�s threat
Refuse their control - free will � the only thing you never had
12. Tear Off My Mask
(Lohmann, Staubach)
Take a look beyond imagination
Enter my world, you�re welcome
Take the time, analyze me
The game has just begun � start diggin�
Take your breath, pouring from my soul
Yeah, turn my inside out
Take a piece of my depraved heart
Keep my love and pain spellbound � take delight in
Bridge:
Come on, face the truth, follow me if you dare
Refrain:
Tear off my mask � will there be a devil playing God?
Tear off my mask � will there be a God ... ?
Take a ride for my soul-strip
Crush through me, skin me alive
Take me now, stop kiddin� around
Gates are open, will you survive? � give you hell
Bridge:
Come on, face the truth, follow me if you dare
Refrain:
Tear off my mask � will there be a devil playing God?
Tear off my mask � will there be a God ... ?
Tear off my mask � will there be a devil playing God?
Tear off my mask � will there be a God ... ?
Watch out
What you�ve begun you shall to complete
No more time to turn aside, you�ve awaken the beast !
Demonic
Are you prepared for the truth?
I�ll kiss your tears away while I infect you
Receive the gift
My virus� running through your veins
You will get what you deserve � release in pain !
