1. 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
2. No Return
I'm riding the wind, don't need your request
You'd never invite me but I will be your guest
Oh no, no don't be afraid of the reaper
It's time to go I call your name and you follow
Fly with me
Take a look around and say you love me
And I will guide you through the golden door
For everything you'll see there is a reason
The big wheel is turning like always before
There is no return from the other side of heaven
For the big wheel turns and the circle must go on
forever more
How do you like your termination day? So far -
Kiss me good bye, cause I must fade away
Oh no, no don't be afraid of your master
It's time to go it's calling your name now you follow
Fly away
Take a look around and say you love me
And I will guide you through the golden door
For everything you'll see there is a reason
The big wheel is turning like always before
There is no return from the other side of heaven
For the big wheel turns and the circle must go on
forever more
Welcome to eternal life, my friend
Now take your seat on your cloud
Enjoy your stay
But always remember...
There is no return
There is no return from the other side of heaven
For the big wheel turns and the circle must go on
forever more
There is no return from the other side of heaven
For the big wheel turns and the circle must go on
forever more
3. 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
4. The Cave Principle
I crawl across the floor never see the light
Only shadows on the wall
Somebody said there's reality behind
But I'm afraid to turn and fall - oh no
Set me free - for eternity
And now they talk about my destiny again
I hear their footsteps in the dark
But then again there was the silence and the pain
Uh lord that made me feel so lost
Heal me - get out of here
Save me - my world's an illusion
I'm still inside the cave imprisoned in on mind
And silhouettes on the wall
I have to turn around to see what's goin' on
Cause what I saw was never all!
Just a move is the solution
it's not enough to stand and stare
Leave the cave and find the reason
For the cross you have to bear
Never, never, never,
Never return to the principle
Never, never,
Never return to the principle
Never, never,
We will never return to the principle
5. Future Madhouse
In the morning your try to recover
But you still got the red in your eyes
Then you get up and look at the mirror
And you see the beast arise
Got a big red nose from the overdose
And somebody else's eyes
And you think to thee is it really me
And you have to realize
The prize that you pay for a moment like this
Is never for high 'cause you still doing it
Don't you know that we all stand in line
Our future dreams are just a waste of time
Our future -is a madhouse and we all are movin' in
Cause the world - needs some action and there nothing left to gain
Take your baggy, things are ready
You only need to come
Join this century's schizoid clan
The rooms are primed and done
The price that you pay for a moment like this
Is never too high cause it perfectly fits
Don't you that we are wasting time
Insanity is just a state of mind
Our future -is a madhouse and we all are movin' in
Cause the world - needs some action and there nothing left to gain
Our world - is a madhouse, in the gutter, come on in
Our world - needs some action satisfaction 'til the end
Our world - we need sex and crime to supply our minds an amazing time,
come on in
Our future - and we party on 'til our life is done
Just to waste our time - 'til the end
6. Gamma Ray (edited version)
The world's desperated with irony, hunger and corruption
The eastern world and the africans, too
Are going to repeat the history of all wars
And our industry supplied them with arms
Everybody knows but nobody can do anything against it
The fall of society is on the make
Well sometimes, sometimes I try to draw up a list
I try to find out what they have done
I thought of honorable murderers you know
Like Jonah's hand might wrap around us
And anytime, everywhere in the world ...
Gamma Ray, Gamma Ray, Gamma, Gamma, Gamma Ray,
Made of your existence
Gamma Ray, Gamma Ray, Gamma, Gamma, Gamma Ray,
Money and our failing
I've waited for... to fire gamma ray!
Without body I could fly around the world
Destroying arms, destroying rockets
Mix all complexions of the whole human race
We all would turn to shallow people
Everybody, everywhere in the whole world
Gamma Ray, Gamma Ray, Gamma, Gamma, Gamma Ray,
Made of your existence
Gamma Ray, Gamma Ray, Gamma, Gamma, Gamma Ray,
Money and our failing
I've waited for... to fire gamma ray!
Without body I could fly around the world
Destroying arms, destroying rockets
Mix all complexions of the whole human race
We all would turn to shallow people
Gamma Ray, Gamma Ray, Gamma, Gamma, Gamma Ray,
Made of your existence
Gamma Ray, Gamma Ray, Gamma, Gamma, Gamma Ray,
Money and our failing
I've waited for... to fire gamma ray!
7. Insanity & Genius
Therefore I'm laying down in laughter
Mighty, the mightiest life hereafter
The trip we started hasn't finished here
And while we think there's not a shade of fear
Black points jump in crossing lines
Insanity and Genius
Both two sides are what I find
And I know they're mine
Sometime my womb bears an actor
Your mind - creating tragic factors
You've got knowledge - stolen from the sea
You've got wisdom - just stolen knowledge
Black points jump in crossing lines
Both two sides are what I find
Insanity's not far behind the genius inside
Close before - insanity and genius - close before
Close before - insanity and genius - close before
And everyday a dreamer dies
To see what's on the other side
And everyday more dreamers die my friend
While black points jump in crossing lines again
Companions in approaching time - Insanity and Genius
Good old friends in common life - Insanity and Genius
Close before - insanity and genius - close before (x3)
8. 18 Years
Sometimes I ask myself, "Is this the life I want to have?"
Are you still satisfied with the situation
That you've had for many years now?
Time is movin' on your childhood is gone
But you don't realize that the game it isn't won
Blind you think that you're safe at home
But the fall is near if you carry on
18 years of freedom - where have they gone?
Try to understand - you must search to take and give before you're old
You must learn - you must learn to live your life, just on your own
Break out the change is drawing near
Decisions to stop, to turn and stare
Solutions my thoughts are getting clear
I'm leaving and I no longer care
Spread my wings and fly among the clouds,
I feel so free, I've left the world behind
Now I know what I have missed
I'll never give it back, my life's just begun
One chance....
Throw it all away, I'm not ever gonna be the same again
Throw it all away, I'm not ever gonna be the same again
Throw it all away, I'm not ever gonna be the same again
Throw it all away, I'm not ever gonna be the same again
Throw it all away, I'm not satisfied at all
Take it all away!
Take it all away!
Take it all away!
Mother!
Mother!
Take it all away!
Throw it all away, I'm not satisfied at all
Throw it all away, I'm not ever gonna be the same again
Throw it all away, I'm not ever gonna be the same again
9. Your Turn is Over
We're getting closer to the final phase
You better do what you can
No you won't stand the chance to win the race
You better leave 'cause I'm the man
I know you think you nearly got it made
I think you life in a daydream
There's no way out
I'm gonna give you a nightmare
You'll get a lesson that you'll never forget
You're turn is over,
You're turn is over now! Ha ha ha!
You're turn is over,
You're turn is over now! Ha ha ha!
Think I better keep an eye on you
And on every move you make
Cause you're a motherfucking liar
And everyone knows you're fake!
And I don't give a shit of what you say
You find yourself in the dead end, there's no way out
Poor pitiful you!
You'll get a lesson you'll never forget!
You're turn is over,
You're turn is over now! Ha ha ha!
You're turn is over,
You're turn is over now! Ha ha ha!
I'm feeling free - you can't stop me
You can't hold me - I'm so restless
So you think you can escape your fate
Let me tell you, sucker it's too late
So I know you gonna make my day
So you think you can save your ass, but you're gonna get it screwed!
Take a look at yourself, you're nothing more than a little fool
It doesn't matter what you say, it doesn't matter anyway
You haven't got a single clue
Your turn is over and I'm through with you!
I say hey, hey, hey your turn is over now -
listen now, listen now, listen
I say hey, hey, hey your turn is over now -
you gotta take it as a matter of fact!
I say hey, hey, hey your turn is over now -
geh doch kacken du Penner!
I say hey, hey, hey your turn is over now -
ha ha ha
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!
11. Brothers
My life, not yours
Is that alright no fight
I don't wanna quit it
No way, is that okay
No don't you dare, don't you dare
to touch it with your fingers
You sneak around, pull me down
Gimme no, gimme no, gimme no more bullshit
I know there's something goin' on
You better leave my life alone
You gotta take it a matter of fact. Now step aside
We are brothers in rock we won't let go
We got our music and we got our soul
And with the sisters of rock we can change the world
If we try
Cool down, now move around
Someday, maybe you will understand it
My way, okay feels so good, feels so good, feels so good
To be with all my good friends
Don't you realize you talk too much
I got an easy way of life, don't touch
You gotta face it as a matter of fact no step aside.
We are brothers in rock we won't let go
We got our music and we got our soul
And with the sisters of rock we can change the world
If we try
We are brothers in rock we won't let go
We got our music and we got our soul
And with the sisters of rock we can change the world
If we try
In the concrete jungle we play rock'n'roll
To set us free, to lose control
In the concrete jungle we can break the walls
That hold us down and keep us small.
Don't you realize you talk too much
I got an easy way of life, don't touch
You gotta face it as a matter of fact no step aside.
We are brothers in rock we won't let go
We got our music and we got our soul
And with the sisters of rock we can change the world
If we try
We are brothers in rock we won't let go
We got our music and we got our soul
And with the sisters of rock we can change the world
If we try
