1. Welcome
2. Lust for Life
Comin' out of misery, back to the old energy, takin' part in our daily show.
Think of what has been before, made a move and slammed the door.
Future will remain in the unknown.
Face the face of the race, try to understand
Why are we here and what do we want,
The answer is easy, let's spread it around.
Loud and proud, we're gonna say it now.
Live - Life - Easy
Live - Life - Easy
Many things to think about, bring me up or bring me down
A lot of things I hardly understand.
What is good and what is fair, problems solved, but I don't care
Sometimes it's just getting out of hand.
Face the face of the race, try to understand
I know that you know that we can be strong
If we pull together we can get along.
Loud and proud, we're gonna say it now
Live - Life - Easy
Live - Life - Easy
Let us fly away, let us praise the days
When the lust for life is stronger than the fear.
Though we shiver and shake and we sometimes need a break,
It's the lust for life that never disappears.
Loud and proud, we're gonna say it now
Live - Life - Easy
Live - Life - Easy
3. Heaven Can Wait
Too many people, too much trouble, too many problems in the morn.
Another sunrise in the rubble, another ship sunk by the storm.
Some little angel tries to tell me that it's over,
It's just a bad reflection from above.
The load upon my shoulder makes me stronger, even bolder,
Oh no no, I haven't had enough.
Heaven can wait 'til another day,
Cause there ain't no reason to leave.
The world is a stage where we all can play.
Another fine reason to live, and heaven can wait, heaven can wait.
Each day a new reason to give up, each day another reason to sigh.
A hundred thousand ways to live up, a hundred thousand ways to try.
Hey, little angel, don't you tell me that it's over,
You're just a bad reflection from above.
The load upon my shoulder gives me reasons to get older
Tell the boss I haven't had enough.
Heaven can wait 'til another day,
Cause there ain't no reason to leave.
The world is a stage where we all can play,
Another fine reason to live, and heaven can wait, let it wait.
Heaven can wait, let it wait, let it wait, let it wait.
Our eyes are closed but they should be open wide,
Let's listen to the voice that's calling from inside,
Let's stay alive and move on, on our way.
And heaven can wait, heaven can wait.
Heaven - can wait
'Til another day.
4. Heading for Tomorrow
Time has passed in the modern world
Where the madmen live and speak their word.
Life in hand they deal with god
Put a trademark sign up on everyone.
God bless the children, freedom is their word.
Freedom, freedom 'til they learn to obey.
Don't fear the liars, reason is their name.
Reason, reason, play a silly game.
Where will the children go tomorrow?
Is anybody there to claim
That he understands our human game?
We can make a prophecy,
Oh we can't say what is going to be.
Where are we going, and what is our aim?
Freedom, freedom locked inside our brains
So many answers, reason is their name,
Reason, reason, the question will remain
Where will the children go tomorrow?
Hey you, where do you go? - - - - Heading for tomorrow
Hey you, where do you go? - - - - Heading for my life
Hey you, where do you go? - - - - Heading for tomorrow
Hey you, where do you go!
When we are born, tell me what is our aim?
And what will be when society fails?
We are heading for tomorrow, we don't know if we are near.
When we are gone, tell me what will remain?
And what will be when society fails?
We are heading for tomorrow but we don't know if we're near!
5. Changes
I need a new direction
Another thought to serve me right
My mind has got an infection
And there's nothing that seems to help
I need to grow an island somewhere inside my head
Where nothing can disturb me,
Where I am free, where I'm forever set
Maybe it's not important
If we are dead or alive.
I never ever wanna listen to the sirens
I'm alive, still alive.
Who says: "We are not guilty"
I say: "We never know the way it goes"
Changes - all around me, all inside my head
Changes - changing face, still remaining mad.
Changes - an all day routine.
Hard to enjoy the good times,
Decay is what I feel
God, it's makin' me porous, vanish in haze,
I wonder, wonder if I'm real.
Newflash - under the new regulations
Non-conformity will be punished by law.
Relax - and don't forget to unplug your TV set!
Sigh no more!
For you, you are not guilty,
No, no, you're not responsible at all.
Changes - all around me, all inside my head
Changes - changing face, still remaining mad.
Changes - an all day routine.
Changes - all around me, all inside my head
Changes - changing face, still remaining mad.
Changes - changing systems, still insane.
Changes - but the madness will remain.
Who is the man who says I'm never gonna die?
It's a lie, it's a lie!
And who is the man who says, I never have to sigh?
It's a lie, it's a lie!
Oppression, resistance
We will never change our way,
The island in my mind is growin'
More and more, day after day.
Changes - all around me now, all inside me now
Changes - wanna cry no more, sigh no more.
6. One with the World
Do you think there's a chance
For this world to live in unity as one?
I can try to believe
But I feel it's like a view into the sun.
Blinded by the light everything will look so fine
But still I feel the rays are burning my soul.
So you say you believe
We can change the world together if we try.
I know we won't change.
When it comes to the point
Do you think we reach an aim that is too high?
I know we don't arrange.
But I know we're all the same
When the final curtain falls
And the Sighs on the way
Are leading us home
When I'm one with the world
I am one with my mind
Forget all the fury there's no need to cry
There's a place we all go, salvation to find
There's freedom to come
When I'm one with the world and my mind.
Do you feel, do you know?
There's an answer to the question when you're gone.
You're not alone.
You will see, we will see
Is there nothing or a better place to go?
We can't go wrong.
There are echoes in the wind
And they say don't be afraid
'cos the Sighs on the way
Are leading us home
When I'm one with the world
I am one with my mind
Forget all the fury there's no need to cry
There's a place we all go, salvation to find
There's freedom to come
When I'm one with the world and my mind.
One with the world
One with the world
One with the world
I am one!
One with the world
One with my mind
One with my heart
7. Dream Healer
Who will creep inside your mind at night,
Who makes your wildest dream arise?
Who makes you see what you can't see,
While you're awake but in your dreams?
Out of a world we call the twilight zone he comes,
Out of a world where all your reason is a lie.
DREAM HEALER - he makes you see what you can't see
DREAM HEALER - reflecting your identity.
Shout at the morning when the red sunrise awakes,
The call of reality is all you hear.
Gaze at the stars, when the night comes down again
Then you begin to see through all of your fears.
Out of a world where you can see what is inside
Out of a world where all your reason is a lie.
DREAM HEALER - he makes you see what you can't see
DREAM HEALER - reflecting your identity.
I see red and I see blue, I see green and I see yellow - yellow lights.
One day black another day white. He's one day quiet
Another day he calls my name
He's comin' out
He's comin' out
He's comin' out
He's comin' out!
Listen to dreams - they always tell you the truth.
Listen to dreams - it is your heart that's speakin' to you
Listen - listen to the dream healer.
8. Tribute to the Past
He who found a way to leave to somewhere far from now
Traveling in his time machine a dream that had come true
Fly my friend, you will see, something called reality
I feel good, I'm alright, doing what I please - I travel time
Far beyond the rising sun - I ride the winds of fate
Prepared to go where my heart belongs - back to the past again
I just want to save the universe for all mankind
He wants to save the future of the earth
Step by step surroundings change as years go passing by
He only stops to gaze a little while
I push the button further on, I just can't get enough
I know I will return again but still I'm movin' on
Far beyond the rising sun - I ride the winds of fate
Prepared to go where my heart belongs - back to the past again
As I movin' on I see things to come,
I see fears and I hear laughter
Curiosity, comin' over me,
what is destined and what will happen
And I see the lies and I hear the cries
and the marchin' of the people
As they go to war, heaven knows what for -
God I think I've had enough now
Too late, too late - I can't go back no more!
I lost control of the engine
No light, no light -
can't see where I have gone can't see where I have gone to
Where am I now -
stranded in time
So many years have passed since I had gone
and I have seen what's gonna be
But now I know it is useless to travel on
And I will return to the time and peace I belong to
Far beyond the rising sun - I ride the winds of fate
Prepared to go where my heart belongs - back to the past again
Far beyond the rising sun - I ride the winds of fate
Prepared to go where my heart belongs - back to the past again
9. Last Before the Storm
Who's controlling all the misery and pain
When the error signs are lighted in the masterhall
And from the start the action is in vein
Cause the beast is always careful to avoid the fall
We crawl up to the skies. We'll never return again
We're the last before the storm
Watching the sun going down on us
We wish we had never been born
To be the last before the storm
Who's ever gonna change the world
I don't understand what we are fighting for
The truth is sad, no lying, we are cursed
I don't really know who ever made the law
We cry on for more, we wonder what's next to the world
We settle the score, we never look back
We're the last before the storm
Watching the sun going down on us
We wish we had never been born
To be the last before the storm
Cry out for the people who don't know the world
They don't understand what they say and they're cursed
Lying for reasons in search for the truth
Mephisto - we comin' down
Mephisto - we comin' down
We cry out for more, we wonder what's next to the world
We settle the score, we never look back
We're the last before the storm
Watching the sun going down on us
We wish we had never been born
To be the last before the storm
10. Heal Me
When I wake up at the end of the day
The moon comes out, the sun fades away
I get myself out of my bed and cry
Is it really me now - could this be the real thing
Is there someone else to ease the pain
So easy, so easy now, has it really gone too far
It don't matter anyhow, sometimes I feel like an
Echo in the wind, that's not coming back again
I look inside my head and what I see
Are the reflections of the world.
And I see genius and insanity
You're alive - you're part of the show
You came to foresee the signs on the wall
So many tried in vain - they know the truth
Learn - how to live and fight and learn-
How to fight them right and learn - how to give and take it all
You can be strong if you know who you are
The signs on the wall tell you move on before it's too late
Can you see them? Do you want to be the one who's creeping on the floor?
Could it be forever? Could it all be lies?
The chaos is a killer and he knows who will fall
Help me - I need some help
Now is there someone out there
What are you waiting for
You're on the road to nowhere
The only way I know
Maybe I'm wrong, I haven't got a clue
Don't know where I belong - tell me what is true
Oh won't you come to heal me - hear me
Oh won't you come to heal me - hear me
Oh won't you come to heal me - hear me
Oh won't you come to heal me - hear me
Are you out there?
Won't you help me?
Don't know where I would go
Is there real life... forevermore?
And remember... "Keep smiling... Jesus loves you!"
That's what they say...
Can you cry forever?
It's just a matter of taste
But you say, "Do you, do you know what the truth is?"
Think don't think - what can you see
Our life is just a fantasy of someone we will never see
Therefore I break down in laughter
Now as I change my point of view
There's nothing left to make me blue - never again - no more
Come on in my friend and join the ball
Everything is beautiful - even the band - it's magic
Imagine you're superstar you gonna fly
You gonna go far - so far
Oh won't you come to heal me - hear me
Oh won't you come to heal me - hear me
Oh won't you come to heal me - hear me
Oh won't you come to heal me - hear me
Heal me! Heal me! Heal me!
