1. Starlight
You're hangin' around and got nothin' to do
You wanna get out some pills in front of you
You fly on invisible wings
Be careful my friend for too many can kill
You say that the meaning of life's in those pills
You forget all earthly things
You swallow your pill you wanna feel free
A trip to a world made of games
You do it again yet it's never the same
But a junkie's not something to be
Starlight fallin' in deep through your eyes
Starlight shinin' down for your soul to rise
Now there's a needle lying in front of you
I'm frightened of those things
But I know what you'll do
You need it to escape from the night, ha ha
You ride on through heaven you don't feel no pain
You ride on and ride on again and again
On the needle that brings you the light
You feel the mind-blowin' stuff
Flow through your veins
You take off and fly to the sun
But when you get too near your wings will be burnt
You'll die in the flames and you'll fall
Starlight fallin' in deep through your eyes
Starlight shinin' down for your soul to rise
2. Victim Of Fate
I was born in the rotten part of the town
The biggest trap I had seen
Wherever you'll go and wherever you'll get to
Evil is around
My mother's a bitch my father's a killer
Gettin' paid for a murder
Fightin' and strugglin' the whole day
The only way to survive
Wanted from law but they'll never catch me
I'd much rather die in this bloody war
Fly high touch the sky
Never know the reason why it ends
Victim of Fate
I had to kill people to save my own life
I don't wanna go to hell
I started at the bottom
I'm heading for the top
I'll never return I'll never go back
To the Goddamn part of the town
Headhunters won't get me 'cause I'm not stupid
But this ain't the life I dreamt of
Wanted from law but they'll never catch me
I'd much rather die in this bloody war
Fly high touch the sky
Never know the reason why it ends
Victim of Fate
What now lonely man who's standing
In the shadow of the streets
You're left alone with no helpin' hand beside you
You hide from the daylight livin' in darkness
You got no friends you can trust nobody
Except for yourself
The only shade that's beside you
Is the shade of Lucifer
Laughing with a satanic smile
And his friend death sharpens his sickle
You don't wanna die do you ? But you will
You will burn in Hell!
Fly high touch the sky
Never know the reason why it ends
Victim of Fate
Fly high, touch the sky, you will die !
3. Cry For Freedom
"Freedom" this cry of all slaves will be heard
And the tyrants will feel the steel of the sword
The chains will be broken by all slaves on the earth
Forever to be free from their load
Time has run out for all you tyrants on earth
Your slaves are heedin' the call
Makin' an end to all this terror and pain
An end to your lies and your law
Takin' away all your gold and your money
'cause dead men don't need it anymore
Much too long we felt the slash of your whips
So now you will feel our swords
Freedom the eternal cry will echo high in the sky
The day will come when all power has been broken
Your blood will flow down to the gates of hell
Satan will wait for your souls
Pray to your god he won't help you he's dead
He won't fool our minds and our souls... anymore
Freedom the cry of all slaves will be heard
The tyrants will now feel the steel of the sword
The chains will be broken by all slaves on earth
Forever to be free from their load
Freedom the cry of all slaves will be heard
The tyrants will now feel the steel of the sword
The chains will be broken by all slaves on earth
Forever to be free from their load
4. Walls Of Jericho
5. Ride The Sky
Much too long I've been a prisoner here
The hour has come to break out
Shackled and chained almost goin' insane
It's better to live on the run
Set me free, set me free
Send me a sign, wanna leave it all behind
I'll be leaving the hands of doom
Rearrange the master plan, take the future in my hands
To be free and not trapped anymore
Ride the sky, Ride the sky
Give me wings to fly, Ride the sky
I have to think for myself and then act
In conformity of my own thoughts
No one should tell me what's wrong and what's right
Why don't you leave me alone
Set me free, set me free
Ride the sky, Ride the sky
Give me wings to fly, Ride the sky
6. Guardians
We're living in our units
And one thing we can do is
Work for a life without a fate
We don't pay any taxes
But the state is the axes
Of our minds without love without hate
We have a higher order
No one needs to be a hoarder
Our society is such a glorious thing
In our centers we can dream of
Anything you never think of
You can't say we are puppets on a string
Our minds are kept so clean
Checked up on a screen
They're holy men, they're saints
Without them we might all fail
We don't know war and crime
Things of ancient times
We just see it if we put on video
The blue pass is for my life
And the red one's for my wife
It's the only thing we really need to show
There are still some without rules
But I tell you, they're all fools
The Guardians will find them as we've seen
We got banks where we freeze them
They get new brains screwed in then
And act contrarily to what they have been
With new minds made so clean
Checked up on a screen
They will be the saints
Without them we might all fail
Guardians of our lives
Protect security
They turn the key and they step in
Controlling you and me
Guardians of our lives
Take care eternally
Solo: both / Kai / Mike
Guardians of our lives
Protect security
They turn the key and they step in
Controlling you and me
Guardians of our lives
Take care eternally
We're puppets on a string
Puppets on a string
7. How Many Tears
A lot of things occur each day
We've got to live with on our way
There's so much misery on the screen
With commercials in between
And the Russians won't be so late
Uncle Sam don't wanna wait
No matter if you're black or white
You never ever had a right
And look up to the eternal skies
See warfare even there
What once has been a paradise
Now destruction and despair
In other worlds the children die
Lacking food ill from a fly
Oppressed by troops to tame their land
It's all the same again
If any man is free on earth
Then tormentors steal his birth
They slam gun butts in his face
And leave his woman choked in mace
So stand up for our human rights
Push back this pest of hate
Raise your voice pass on the light
Unite! it's not too late
How many tears flow away
To become a sea of fears
How many hearts are torn apart
Till another torment starts
But before the world
Turns into a sun
All cruelty and violence
On earth will be dead and gone
But before the world
Turns into a sun
All cruelty and violence
On earth will be dead and gone
Solo: both / both / Mike / both
So stand up for our human rights
Push back this pest of hate
Raise your voice pass on the light
Unite! It's not too late
How many tears flow away
To become a sea of fears
How many hearts are torn apart
Till another torment starts
But before the world
Turns into a sun
All cruelty and violence
On earth will be dead and gone
But before the world
Turns into a sun
All cruelty and violence
On earth will be dead and gone
8. Judas
You promise us a bright golden future
You say you will save the world
That there will be no more hunger and pain
But we only see your golden hands
You say you take care of our survival
Sending us missiles instead
But you just betray us, deny us and lie
And you always say you would
Fight for freedom, fight for rights
I see treason in your eyes.
Judas - rulin' with an iron hand
Judas - sittin' in the government
Judas - I am not a Jesus Christ
Judas - you will be the one who's crucified
You worship money and economy
There's nothing that you wouldn't do
If the payment is right you don't care about life
'Cause economy is your truth
You are the one selling terror and pain
In all the parts of the world
You are preparing the final grand slam
But you keep on tellin' you'll
Fight for freedom, fight for rights
I see treason in your eyes.
Judas - rulin' with an iron hand
Judas - sittin' in the government
Judas - I am not a Jesus Christ
Judas - you will be the one who's crucified
Solo both/Kai/both
Judas, Judas - are you still human?
Judas, Judas - I can't believe it
Judas, Judas - dealing with evil
Judas, Judas
You'll keep on telling you'll
Fight for freedom, fight for rights
I see treason in your eyes.
Judas - rulin' with an iron hand
Judas - sittin' in the government
Judas - I am not a Jesus Christ
Judas - you will be the one who's crucified
Judas - rulin' with an iron hand
Judas - sittin' in the government
Judas - I am not a Jesus Christ
Judas - you will be the one who's crucified
9. Savage
You hear the people talking you walk the wrong street
Painting all things black and step on your feet
Flabby stomach, styled hair, trousers full of air
Their morality is real ours isn't there
They don't know, no they can't see
Our hearts close to the sun
Different in our hearts filled with
That faith we carry on
They just call us savage
That's what I like to be
Let them call us savage
Cause that's what we like to be
See the people wonder we run in our direction
Let the narrow-minded sleep we better do some action
Across the universe you smell the smell of lies
I'm trying to be the winner not the sacrifice
They don't know, no they can't see
Our hearts close to the sun
Different in our hearts filled with
That faith we carry on
They just call us savage
That's what I like to be
Let them call us savage
Cause that's what we like to be
See them run they know no fun
And look what they have done
In this world full of rules
We look just like fools
I know what they think when I see them lookin' at me
(Savage)
We come close every day to the time table life
So mart they start their backwards fight
I know what they think when I see them lookin' at me
(Savage)
One day they will drop the bomb
Cause it's necessary to show the power
One day they will give a shit on what you say
They don't know, no they can't see
Our hearts close to the sun
Different in our hearts filled with
That faith we carry on
They just call us savage
That's what I like to be
Let them call us savage
Cause that's what we like to be
10. Livin aint No Crime
Come hither to this place and let your mind fly free
For that's the only way how everyone should be
We all need something that we can keep on livin' for
No one needs to tell us what we're doin' anymore
Head on, head on steady - until the end of time
Living, living ready - for livin' ain't no crime
So tell me, aren't we all just one holding the flame
Against al the babbits in this world who build up frames
Some time or tomorrow we will prove them traitors wrong
So make your dreams come true for it mustn't take too long
Head on, head on steady - until the end of time
Living, living ready - for livin' ain't no crime
Now what's the use of living here and what's it worth
Don't ask but throw away your fear this earth
You are here to live don't think you're here to understand
Don't forget you're no one without someone's helping hand
Head on, head on steady - until the end of time
Living, living ready - for livin' ain't no crime
11. Save Us
Too late to call for the priest
He is not here anymore
We look at the age of the beast
And we've seen its vast armies form
Hear our call
Please, save us
Please, save us
In permanent madness we live
No time for life and for love
To take is the rule, not to give
Insanity comes from below
To take us all
Please, save us
Please, save us
We believe that the phenomena of nature
Are the expression of infinitive intelligence
We express our belief that all forms of life
Are manifestations of spirit
And thus, all men are children of God
Far from down below one comes prepared to take us all
Waiting for his future and the final call
We stand on the edge of the world
Just one step more and we fall
Guide us and please take our hands
Without you we're weak and alone
Hear our call
Please, save us
Please, save us
Now!
Save us--from the gods of thunder
Save us--from the dogs of war
Save us--from the creeping nightmares
Save us--from the evil's course
Save us--from our own ignorance
Save us--from the man in black
Save us--from the desolation
Save us--from the hate attack
Save us--oh please
Save us--please save us
Save us--oh please
Save us--now!
12. Dont Run For Cover
You hide, won't fight
Avoid the daylight
Give in, won't win
No try to make it right
Why don't you stop crying
Stop your painful dying
Why don't you give your life a sense
One game, one aim
But you're always sleeping
One light so bright
In darkness you're creeping
Why don't you use your head
Step out of your warm bed
And stop being on anxious rat
Run - for your destination
Fly - to the sun
Don't give a damn what the people may say
It's like a chain on your leg
When you always look back
If you don't risk anything one day you'll pay
Don't run for cover
Don't cry alone
Make a step on your stairway
One step closer to what you live for
Don't run for cover
Don't throw away
The only chance that you got
To be the fire in a hot life you choose
No pride, no right ?
In your heart is more strength
You know, I know
Your destiny's in your hand
Now you have this time
To survive don't be blind
In this world where so many can't see
Try - to catch the key
Make - that you can see
The light of your life your way to go
Don't run for cover
Don't cry alone
Make a step on your stairway
One step closer to what you live for
Don't run for cover
Don't throw away
The only chance that you got
To be the fire in a hot life you choose
Try - to catch the key
Make - that you can see
The light of your life your way to go
Don't run for cover
Don't cry alone
Make a step on your stairway
One step closer to what you live for
Don't run for cover
Don't throw away
The only chance that you got
To be the fire in a hot life you choose
13. Starlight (Michael Kiske version)
You're hangin' around and got nothin' to do
You wanna get out some pills in front of you
You fly on invisible wings
Be careful my friend for too many can kill

You forget all earthly things

Starlight fallin' in deep through your eyes
Starlight shinin' down for your soul to rise
14. A Little Time (Another version)
Higher
It's what I expect from my life
It's like a wire
That holds me back down to the ground
Oh, I hear you say
"That is the way of the world"
No, hear what I say
"I wanna do so much in my way"
Higher
I've set my limits and bounds
There's a fire
It's burning so hot in my head
Oh, I hear you say
"That is the way of the world"
No, hear what I say
"I wanna do so much in my way"
[Chorus]
We got
A little time to build up our lives
A little time to make up our minds
A little time to fill up our dreams
A little time, time
[Chorus]
15. Victim Of Fate (Michael Kiske version)
I was born in the rotten part of the town
The biggest trap I had seen
Wherever you'll go and wherever you'll get to
Evil is around
My mother's a bitch my father's a killer
Gettin' paid for a murder
Fightin' and strugglin' the whole day
The only way to survive
Wanted from law but they'll never catch me
I'd much rather die in this bloody war
[Chorus:]
Fly high touch the sky
Never know the reason why it ends
Victim of fate
I had to kill people to save my own life
I don't wanna go to hell
I started at the bottom
I'm heading for the top
I'll never return I'll never go back
To the Goddamn part of the town
Headhunters won't get me 'cause I'm not stupid
But this ain't the life I dreamt of
Wanted from law but they'll never catch me
I'd much rather die in this bloody war
[Chorus]
What now lonly man who's standig
In the shadow of the streets
You're left alone with no helpin' hand beside you
You hide from the daylight livin in darkness
You got no friends you can trust nobody
Except for yourself
The only shade that's beside you
Is the shade of Lucifer
Laughing with a satanic smile
And his friend death sharpens his sickle
You don't wanna die do you ? But you will
You will burn in hell
[Chorus]
Fly high, touch the sky, you will die !
