1. Shining
2. I Never Die
Concealed in the deep of the night
Moved when the horror awakes
Frightened by the howl of the world
Saved by the powers that be
Hounded by dark shadows
Pursued by many masks
Flogged by whiplashes
Branded like stock before the war
I never die before - I hear your voice
I never die before - you have no choice
I never die - I never die
Awaken in seas of sweat
Reflections full of bad memories
Scared to fall asleep
Subconscious goes mad
A never ending dream
A journey that never finds an aim
The end that conquers the swan song
Realization of a lost game
I never die before - I hear your voice
I never die before - you have no choice
I never die - I never die
He´s the last one that I saw
He´s the last of his kind
He´s the last one I want to hear
He´s the last one I would kill
You are the blood flowing through my veins
You are the water which I drink
3. Moonlight
The dusk falls - time is drawing near
The sky lit blood red -
the moon displays it´s glory
The gusts carry´s a silent hymn to my ear
Darkness surrounds me with a veil of silk
Coldness chisels signs with my breath
Close your eyes - close your mind
And dancing in the moonlight
Close your eyes - close your mind
and dancing in the moonlight
My feet carry me softly as on clouds
The luscious odour of the nightwind
Slips into my nose
From a distant I recall
The howling of an animal
Shadows moving in rhythm with the trees
The night has never seen the grey of day
My hands caressed by moonlight
My eyes close to the melody of night
Close your eyes - close your mind
And dancing in the moonlight
Close your eyes - close your mind
And dancing in the moonlight
The night has never seen the grey of day
My body drifts like in a fairy tale
Close your eyes - close your mind
And dancing in the moonlight
Close your eyes - close your mind
And dancing in the moonlight
4. Fly
Willst du in die Zukunft sehen -
Mußt du mit dem Teufel reden
Wirst du dann um Gnade flehen -
Oder nur die Zeit verdrehen
Hast die Menschheit in der Hand -
Darum zeige mir das neue Land
Willst du mit mir tanzen gehen -
Alles in Schutt und Asche legen
Fly like an angel
Fly like the dust
Fly to the oceans
Fly like a hand - made god
Niemand will dein Zeichen sehen -
Wirst ihnen bald ihr Leben nehmen
Blut und Feuer an den Händen -
Opfernamen an den Wänden
Angst und Trauer in der Nacht -
Sobald die böse Saat erwacht
Einst noch von der Sonne verborgen
Was gestern ward ist morgen gestorben
Fly like an angel
Fly like the dust
Fly to the oceans
Fly like a hand - made god
Die Zeit des Wartens ist vorüber -
Du stehst einer neuen Welt gegenüber
Die Wälder sind tot,die Flüße sind leer -
Das Leben existiert nicht mehr
Wer dies zerstörte kann man erraten -
Doch waren dies unsere letzten Taten
Ob du es wolltest oder nicht -
Erzählt dir keiner mehr du armer Wicht
5. Memory
You are so fixed with yourself
That you can´t behold your life passing you by
Wake up brisk before your vanity breaks you
Open your eyes while you still can
When you need me - just before the memory
Hear my voice coming through your mind
When you need me - just before the memory
Hear my voice coming through your mind
Your friends suffocated by your ego
Your siblings haven´t known you for a long time
Even death refuses to tread on your doorstep
Ensued the false passage all your life
When you need me - just before the memory
Hear my voice coming through your mind
When you need me - just before the memory
Hear my voice coming through your mind
No one here that misses you again
No one here to show you how to fly
Have no respectt for life
Have no reverence for death
Mercy a word used by losers
Pain and sorrow gifts from heaven
Never will you love
Never will you live
When you need me - just before the memory
Hear my voice coming through your mind
When you need me - just before the memory
Hear my voice coming through your mind
6. The Holy One
Hands folded to pray,
Holy utterance by a split tongue
The halo of blood and ashes
2000 years of praise,
2000 years of lies
Exploited mans gullibility
Manifestations from one mouth,
Testimony in many ears
Mankind tormented, the brains enslaved
Hear no evil - he´s the holy one
See no evil - he´s the holy one
Speak no evil - he´s the holy one
Feel no evil - he´s the holy one
He approached from the future
To show us the past
Deserted to the past to convey us the future
Born holy, died as a beggar on the cross
But you have to stride
The holy path for yourself
Hands folded to pray,
Holy utterance by a split tongue
The halo of blood and ashes
2000 years of praise, 2000 years of lies
Exploited mans gullibility
Manifestations from one mouth,
Testimony in many ears
Mankind tormented, the brains enslaved
Hear no evil - he´s the holy one
See no evil - he´s the holy one
Speak no evil - he´s the holy one
Feel no evil - he´s the holy one
The holy one - the evil one
7. The Game
Your life defined by many lies
You dwell in your own words
Distant from all that´s real
Gaze into the mirror
And behold the face of a player
A game of life - the game of life
A game with your life - the game
A game of life - the game of life
A game with your life - the game of life
In some situations once so common
And then disappointed Stabbed those
That once aided you in the back
Seeking truth in a glass
A game of life - the game of life
A game with your life - the game
A game of life - the game of life
A game with your life - the game of life
Aggressive and disappointed
You roam through life
Tossing away
Your whole future for a
Small illusion in your head
A game of life - the game of life
A game with your life - the game
A game of life - the game of life
A game with your life - the game of life
8. Waiting
Motionless, unconscious, hopeless
Waiting fo a sign
Awesome, frightened, respectful
Devoted to life
Ruthless, without ambition, aimless
Followed the wrong path
Egoistic, brutal, honest
Finished with the past
For you and forever - For you and forever
Waiting for a sign - to take your life
Waiting for a sign - looking for the source
Waiting for a sign - like tears in your hand
Waiting for a sign - for the rest of your time
For the rest of your time
For you and forever - For you and forever
Painless, unattractive, faceless
Looking towards the future
Longing, sensitive, dignified
Escaped the unknown
Miserable, restless, indecent
Eyes set on goal
Cruel, loathsome, repulsive
Waiting for the end
Waiting for a sign - to take your life
Waiting for a sign - looking for the source
Waiting for a sign - like tears in your hand
Waiting for a sign - for the rest of your time
For the rest of your time
9. Awake
Dreams that once found their destiny
Soar above carried by sorrow
The passage I once followed
obstructed by barriers
Used up all the knowledge
Forgotten dreams turn to illusion -
Now that you are awake
Forgotten dreams turn to illusion -
Now that you are awake
Now that you are awake -
dreams that once found their destiny
Now that you are awake -
wake up and tell me what you see
I witness the eminent past nearing
In the woods of darkness,
In the valley of dismay
The lifeless guise of disembodied souls
Seeking, begging,bound towards the same trail
Forgotten dreams turn to illusion -
now that you are awake
Forgotten dreams turn to illusion -
now that you are awake
Like a spider weaving its web to capture prey
Or a scorpion swinging his sting to slay
Now that you are awake -
dreams that once found their destiny
Now that you are awake -
Wake up and tell me what you see
Blood flowing life-filling through your head
Can gently turn into a toxin of demise
The past is here and craves for homage
Darkness gorges the bellows for serenity
10. Tale
Every bright possessor of a body floats
Dreaming away, awaiting redemption
Several often where all bright folks were honest and true
Day in, day out, day in, day out, day in, day out
Men and women in rugs, criminals and shady characters
Their faces (???)
Their eyes shine in fear of the things to come
Their spirit gone forever
Waiting for a new tale
Their destiny...
(???) comes from stretch of (???) from their mishaps
Never (???)
Superior being
Man and animal must defy the laws of nature
Carved in stone
Carved in time
The time zone
Carved in stone
Carved in time
The time zone...
