1. Der Letzte Tag
Es geschah in der Zeit,
als die Sonne die Erde zum glühen brachte
und die Menschen sich nach der Nacht sehnten,
nach den Schatten
und der Linderung ihrer Qual...
Die Luft steht stickig still
Die Erde in der Hitze bebt
Kein Windhauch lindert die Qual
Schweiss rinnt von der kalten Stirn
Fieber tobt im weissen Leid
Kein Windhauch lindert die Qual
Auf sanften Flügeln schwebt die Nacht herbei
Der letzte Tag
Schliesst dunkle Augen mit weichem Flügelschlag
Auf sanften Flügeln schwebt die Nacht herbei
Die leise Klag
Schwindet ungehört, weil sie nichts vermag
Staub liegt in der heissen Luft
Das Atmen fällt ihm schwer
Kein Windhauch lindert die Qual
Flehend an seinem Bette wacht
Die Geliebte wartend auf die Nacht
Kein Windhauch lindert die Qual
Auf sanften Flügeln schwebt die Nacht herbei
Der letzte Tag
Schliesst dunkle Augen mit weichem Flügelschlag
Auf sanften Flügeln schwebt die Nacht herbei
Die leise Klag
Schwindet ungehört, weil sie nichts vermag
Es geschah in der Zeit
Und endlich kam die Nacht
2. Anger
Come calm my anger
Our love is like a perfect sky
Deep blue and the sun is shining
But it seems that sometimes
There have to be some clouds
And suddenly I feel this destructive anger
Deep inside
And suddenly I feel this destructive anger
Is about to rise
Please come and calm this anger
You're the one to calm this anger
And if you can't calm this anger
It'll surely devour me this anger
Dark clouds in a perfect sky
And the air is getting colder
The rain starts to fall and
We feel a stormy wind in our faces
And suddenly I feel this destructive anger
Deep inside
And suddenly I feel this destructive anger
Is about to rise
Please come and calm this anger
You're the one to calm this anger
And if you can't calm this anger
It'll surely devour me this anger
Glaring lightnings breaks the sky
And thunder is rumbling loudly
The elements have turned mad
It seems that it all will break down
3. Lost Soul
He took my soul
Took my soul
In his hands
My mind got dark
Mind got dark
In his hands
When did I begin
To follow the shadows
They fill my dreams with pain and sadness
When did I begin
To feel the sorrow
Then I laid my soul into your hand
He said sweet words
Said sweet words
With his voice
He seduced me softly
Seduced you
With his voice
When did I begin
To follow the shadows
They fill my dreams with pain and sadness
When did I begin
To feel the sorrow
Then I laid my soul into your hand
He took my soul
Took my soul
In his hands
My mind got dark
Mind got dark
In his hands
Once times were not so dark
But then the shadows took hold
Of my soul
Since then I feel
My mind's lost in madness
Lost my soul
In the dark
Lost my mind
In the dark
4. Perfect Love
Peel off my skin, make me helpless
Taste my body
Let me die in your sweet embrace
I never thought that I could find
Someone like you and still
I feel the union of souls
(The union of souls)
I never thought that I could find
A love so perfect and still
I'm here in your arms
(I'm here in your arms)
Peel off my skin, make me helpless
Taste my body
Let me die in your sweet embrace
I never thought that I could find
Peace of my mind and still
I'm staying with you
(I'm staying with you)
I never thought that I could find
A lust so devouring and still
I'm caught in this passion
(I'm caught in this passion)
I never thought that I could find
All I was searching and still
I found you
(I found you)
5. Heart in Chains
Your cold cold heart has drowned my life in pain
Your cold cold heart has tortured my mind and soul
You have never learnt
To leave your prison
Your heart lies in chains
And who will break them
Your heart lies in chains
Maybe you will find a way to forgive yourself
Your cold cold heart has drowned my life in pain
Maybe one day you will find the peace for your mind
Your cold cold heart has tortured my mind and soul
You have drowned my life
You have tortured my mind
You made wounds so deep
It tears you all apart
Restrained emotions
You're denying all your feelings
And it will break you
You're denying all your feelings
Maybe you will find a way to forgive yourself
Your cold cold heart has drowned my life in pain
Maybe one day you will find the peace for your mind
Your cold cold heart has tortured my mind and soul
6. Die Zeit
Soviel Zeit und soviel Leid
Sklave der Unendlichkeit
Gefangen im Käfig deines Ichs
Einen Ausweg siehst du nicht
Soviel Zeit und soviel Streit
Verdammt in Bitterkeit
Ketten aus Stahl, die brichst du nicht
Verbirg dein Angesicht
Die Zeit
Rinnt dir durch die Hände
Die Zeit
Sag mir was hast du getan
Die Zeit
Vergeht ohne Ende
Die Zeit
Sag mir was wird danach sein
Soviel Zeit und soviel Neid
Quält dich mit Grausamkeit
Gefangen im Dunkeln und das Licht
Verbrennt dir dein Gesicht
Soviel Zeit und soviel Streit
Gefesselt in Unzulänglichkeit
Zurück bleibt Hass, die Liebe flieht
Und keiner der es sieht
Soviel Zeit und soviel Streit
Verdammt in Bitterkeit
Ketten aus Stahl, die brichst du nicht
Verbirg dein Angesicht
Die Zeit
Rinnt dir durch die Hände
Die Zeit
Sag mir was hast du getan
Die Zeit
Vergeht ohne Ende
Die Zeit
Sag mir was wird danach sein
7. Black Angel
I was walking through the night
Suddenly I remarked a sound in the winds
An angel like voice singing a tale
Through the cold and stormy night
Flies an angel
The black angel
White skin, red lips and long black hair,
Her wings is broken
The guardian angel
Listening breathless to her voice
Which has touched me right there in my heart
I felt the tears run down my face
Through the cold and stormy night
Flies an angel
The black angel
White skin, red lips and long black hair,
Her wings is broken
The guardian angel
The storm drags on her clothes
Like an invisible warrior
Her wing broke with a sound
So disgusting that it frozen my heart
Her voice became weaker
Losing this fight of blackness
8. (The) Devil Inside You
Why can't I hear you breath
Why can't I hold you now
You just told me on the phone
Bad news I can't believe they're true
Fate is too cruel to you it seems
It caught you at your weakest point
Nothing left of your whole world
Beside chaos and smoking ruins
You thought there's nothing more to loose
You're wrong and he presents the proof
Please fight the devil inside you
Not enough time for us to spend
Why can't I hear you breath
Why can't I hold you now
You will need all of your strength
I hope that you can carry on
You fought the shadows of the ghosts
Now he's the one you will fight next
Knocking at your door as if
He is a guest you like to see
Don't let him in, just push him back
He is not welcome in your house
Please fight the devil inside you
Not enough time for us to spend
9. Rebirth
The long summer
Has gone
The autumn leaves
Start to fall
Yesterday I was touched by the breath of winter
His cold fingers searched for my heart
But in my heart I felt the warmth of this summer
So the first snowflakes melted away
The long summer
Has gone
The autumn leaves
Start to fall
I felt the world hold its breath
And everything turned slower
All was silent, softened by the snow
The world is going to sleep now
In a freezing white coat
But I know that I will see its rebirth
The long summer
Has gone
The autumn leaves
Start to fall
Silently
The world's breath is slow
Silently
The first snowflakes fall
10. Are You Missing Me?
Are you missing me
Not knowing where I am
Out there somewhere
Do you remember me
Do you think of me
When you are on your own
Do you wish that we
Had the chance to meet
Never met you
Searching my roots
Lack of identity
Searching a proof
Are you the one
Searching my roots
Give me a sign
Searching a proof
I hope that you'll agree
Sometimes we will meet
And you'll tell me your reasons
For giving me away
A day so long ago
Did you ever see my face
Or hold me in your arms
Do you feel sorry now
What were your reasons for
Giving me away
And still I'm thanking you
Maybe it was the best to do
Never met you
Searching my roots
Lack of identity
Searching a proof
Are you the one
Searching my roots
Give me a sign
Searching a proof
I hope that you'll agree
Sometimes we will meet
And you'll tell me your reasons
For giving me away
I hope that you'll agree
Sometimes we will meet
And you'll tell me your reasons
For giving me away
Do you think of me
When you are on your own
Do you wish that we
Had the chance to meet...
11. Ballade
Da löschte sein Licht in ihrer Hand
Der Wind verwehte drei Zeichen im Sand
Laut sang, o sang das Meer
Ein Narre schrieb drei Zeichen im Sand
Eine bleiche Magd da vor ihm stand
Laut sang, o sang das Meer
Da löschte sein Licht in ihrer Hand
Der Wind verwehte drei Zeichen im Sand
Laut sang, o sang das Meer
Sie hielt einen Becher in der Hand
der schimmerte bis auf zum Rand
wie Blut so rot und schwer
Kein Wort ward gesprochen – die Sonne schwand
da nahm der Narre aus ihrer Hand
den Becher und trank ihn leer
Da löschte sein Licht in ihrer Hand
Der Wind verwehte drei Zeichen im Sand
Laut sang, o sang das Meer
