1. What I Crave
What I crave (T&M: Knollmann)
When I saw you it was love at first sight, you brought joy into my days and my nights
Too late I realised you just played with me, a mere possession of yours I have been
Chorus:
This is what I crave - How could I believe?
To make you my slave - how could I fall so deep?
That's my only aim - Is it now too late
You'll never be free again - To change my fate?
All my friends they said you're playing with me, I didn't hear them, the truth I couldn't see
Now that I'm by his side, I've come to realise, that his words of love turned out to be lies
Chorus
Solo: Metty
And when the moon now touches my pale face, my tears fall like the rain
For by his kiss I've turned in what I can not see, for all mirrors show not me
I've been uncaring, now I must pay the price, for even death can't set me...... free
Chorus
This is what I crave - How could I believe
To raise you from your grave - is this just a dream?
For all eternity - Now it is too late
You'll be just like me - I can't deny my fate
2. Icarus
Icarus (T&M: Knollmann)
Father I spread my wings and fly up to the sky, no longer can this earth bind me with it's chains
I long for the sun and its burning rays of light, life on this earth, it seems so in vain
All I want is to spread my wings and reach for the sky
All I want is one moment of glory before.... I die
Chorus:
I will fly - spread my wings and fly - all my life - I have longed for this moment in time
To just fly away
Father, I leave the ground and I'm never to return, say farewell to all my friends and my love
I want to touch the sun and though I'm sure to burn, this was my dream so long, the dream I can't give up
All I want is to spread my wings and fly into the sun
All I want is one moment of glory before.... I'm gone
Chorus
Solo: Metty
Father, my mind's confused by the golden rays of light
My dream has come true for me - now I finally fly
Chorus
3. Free
Free (W&M: Knollmann)
Once I have dreamed of freedom of a life that I could lead on my own
Once I have believed the words, I'd be free if I was grown
But then I realised that in this world there's nothing as it seems
Still I try to find the one way that I really can be free
And now I find the sense of life in myself
Chorus 1:
And I'm free - free as I always wanted to be
I am free - noone shall rule about me
I don't need no words so wise, only spoken to make me obey the rules
Now I lead my own life and I'm laughing loud at all those fools
If you look deep enough it's there in you, too
Chorus
Chorus 2:
And I'm free - nothing shall ever stand in my way
I am free - there's only me to obey
Solo: Metty
Chorus 1
Chorus 2
4. Heart of Darkness
Heart of Darkness (T&M: Knollmann)
Special Guest: Sebastian Bittner (ex - Legacy) - Keyboardsolo
Eric, my dear, I must admit my feelings for you,
yet I belong at Horlock's side, this is what you should know
He is such a strong, great man, how could I not love him?
Yet these thoughts of you and me keep cracking up my brain
Chorus:
He has come from the Heart of Darkness and will take my heart with him
He has brought my heart in trouble, for our love can never be
This is all insanity, our love can't be
For Horlock is no greatful man and will never set me free
Yet my heart keeps telling me, someday we will be one
For if love does guide our path, there's nothing that can't be done
Chorus
Solo: Sebastian "Seemore" Bittner
All that's left to me is dream of you and the love that could have been
I'm too scared to leave my life behind and to follow the path of my dreams
For your embrace I long, but I cannot risk my life for being with you
I have to keep this facade and tell myself that my feelings are not true..... not true
Solo: Metty
Chorus
5. The Bad Side
The Bad Side (T&M: Knollmann)
Solo: Metty
So now it has come to this, I've been stung by the serpent's kiss
And I don't think I can play the good anymore
Deep inside me I have found a Bad Side longing to come out
And now it freezes me to the core
Chorus:
Now I found out - hidden inside me is this Bad Side
It's my true enemy - and it will come out tonight
And never can I trust myself once again,
because of my Bad Side I'm forever damned
Now I've come to realise I'm under control of my bad side
And most unfaithful is my alliance to the sin
I never could have known, my Bad Side would be so strong
And now I became my own victim
Chorus
Solo: Metty
In my loneliness it speaks softly to me of all forbidden things I've ever dreamed
How can I resist all its reasons so deep when my own reasons are ever so weak?
It's ruling my life
Chorus
Solo: Metty
6. Wings of a Dream
Wings of a dream (T&M: Knollmann)
I never believed in love until it came to me
Love filled my heart, poured out with every beat
Your kiss so sweet, like nothing tasted before
Your gentle touch burns my inner core
But fate put such a cruel twist to the game - now I am in pain!
Chorus:
Forever when I close my eyes, there's a place where our love can be
I know that we can reach this place on the wings of a dream
And every night my dreams lead me to the place where our love can be
I know you'll always be there at this place that I can reach
On the wings of a dream, the wings of a dream
I told myself to be strong, to resist this inner pain
That always grips me when I see we'll never be together again
Nothing, nothing can describe this emptiness in me
There's only memories and dreams to fight the misery
Reality's no use for me anymore if you are not there
Chorus
As the hours tick away, my mind fades more and more into the dream
Nothing there to hold me back without you, without you....
No longer do I want this world of pain, my mind fades away
Chorus
On the wings of a dream....
7. God
God (T&M: Knollmann)
Special Guest: Thorsten Rohleder (Legacy) - Gitarrensolo
"There are times when I am lonely, when I feel the deep urge to give it all up
When all things seem to be without any hope or meaning.
But never will the dark clouds destroy my dreams
For the only one to rule my destiny - is me!"
Lost in dark thoughts I feel time passing by, unable to see even small rays of light
There's no hope left you'll never love me, why is it so hard this pain that I feel?
I don't know what to do, my life seems lost without you
In my mind I hear a voice, telling me it's all my choice
Chorus:
Whenever I feel alone and sad and hollow deep inside,
there's one thing that lets my spirit rise
Through each strike of tragedy, I shall be fortified
For I am the God of my own life
My work's a pure mess, my friends turn from me, there seems no way out of this misery
Yet I know that something in me burns bright, nothing will ever extinguish this light
Never ever, I won't surrender, never ever will I be bending
In my mind I hear this voice and I know there's always a choice
Chorus
Solo: Thorsten
Chorus
8. Nur Du
Nur du (T&M: Knollmann)
Special Guest: Sebastian Bittner (ex-Legacy) - Piano
Die Stunden ziehen langsam nur dahin, keine Freude wohnt in meinem Herz
Weil ich in Gedanken bei dir bin, und die Gedanken wandeln sich in Schmerz
Ich weiß für uns gibt's keine Chance, ich bin eine von vielen
Doch versetzt du mich in Trance, was ist das für ein Spiel?
Chorus:
Was hast du nur mit mir getan?
Denn immer wieder denke ich, nur an dich, nur an dich
Warum schlägst du mich so in deinen Bann?
Warum dreht sich mein Leben nur um dich?
Solo: Metty
Die Tage werden endlos mir zur Qual, hilflos stehe ich an deiner Seite
Mein Lächeln wird ein stumpfes Ritual, in deiner Nähe weiß ich nicht mehr weiter
Ich weiß du hast ne andere, doch flirtest du mit mir
Die Trennung zwischen Spaß und Ernst wird mir langsam zu viel
Chorus
Sie sagen es ist Besessenheit, doch ist mir das egal!
Was wissen sie von meinem Leid und meiner Höllenqual?
Ich würde dir so gerne zeigen, wie sehr du mir gefällst
Doch würdest du mich dann abweisen, zerbräche mein Herz
"Ich spüre, dass du mehr für mich empfindest,
doch passt das nicht in mein Bild von dir
Um unsre Freundschaft zu erhalten
Halte dich lieber fern von mir!"
Immer wieder ignorierst du meine Zeichen, meine Worte
Oh hätt ich nur den Mut zu fragen, was ich dir bedeute
Chorus 2:
Was habe ich dir nur getan?
Immer wieder denke ich nur an dich, nur an dich
Warum komm ich nicht frei von deinem Bann?
Warum seh ich denn immerzu nur dich?
So leb ich jeden Tag mit dieser Quälerei und sage meinem Herzen "Jetzt gib Ruh`!"
Doch ignoriert es meinen angsterfüllten Schrei, denn in meinem Herzen lebst nur du......
9. The Wish
