1. Teibe Paiom
2. Memories II
On this road of broken dreams
The wind is blowing rough,
What became of my memories
The friendships that I've lost?
Once we were like brothers
Together on this path,
Now that you deceived me
All I feel is wrath.
My mind is burning
World are colliding
Fate is turning
It's time to go
Things around me change so fast
Nothing forever will last,
No one's left to blame
But things won't stay the same.
You told me I'm your best friend
No one else would ever have been,
But when good times left and bad times came
You were nowhere to be seen.
I thought our friendship lasts forever
I put my trust in you,
You destroyed my faith in mankind
And my Memories II.
Nothing left
From yesterday
We won't ever
Rise one day.
Things around me change so fast
Nothing forever will last
No one's left to blame,
But things won't stay the same.
Oh those days are long gone by
There is no more need to worry,
There's nothing you can do.
No love left for yesterday,
My heart is drowning in sorrow
And my Memories II.
3. Iron Eagle
Hey Mister Madman, your time is up,
Feel our anger, we'll make you stop.
Megalomania, a ruler's disease
The country cries while your profits increase'.
Burnt in holy fire,
Forged in sacred steel.
Born of great desire,
The time is right.
And you old general look at your bloodstained feet,
The thousands of people who died for your greed.
Buy guns and bombs to fight with iron hand
Feed on stupidity while vultures rule the land.
Burnt in holy fire,
Forged in sacred steel,
Born of great desire.
It's the night of the Iron Eagle,
He'll strike without a sound,
Wreck your cities to the ground.
It's the night of the Iron Eagle,
He'll bring the end for most,
Burn your country coast to coast.
It's the night of the Iron Eagle.
Now and forever, let's fight a holy war,
Don't know against whom and don't know what for.
Follow your leader in blindness into hate,
Hail the Tyrant who will seal your fate.
You live in the heights of your Ivory Tower,
With all your hypocrites to gather more power.
Blinded by madness, religion is war,
How many have to die and how many more?
4. Hold Me
In this world of rare emotions,
In this world of tight chains.
You're the only one in this wide ocean,
You make the feeling of love prevail.
In the distance you're the shining light,
I'll try to find a way,
So I'm walking on, mile for mile,
But you're not nearer; you're so far away.
And the sun starts to set,
The horizon is bleeding,
The night arrives like a dark angel.
I'm lost in a deep forest,
I've lost my way forever.
The light fades away too quickly,
No chance for us to find together.
The clock's ticking, the last hour's fading.
There's no place left to hide.
The last thing you can do for me,
Is hold me, when I die.
I feel my heart it still is beating,
I know I'm still alive.
This cold night is all around me,
The real world is far behind.
So I'm walking through the darkness,
I hope I'm on the right way.
In my mind is only silence,
But my heart screams, I don't want to stay.
And you're giving me new power,
I feel you are near,
But the dark angel wants me to bleed.
My heart is drowning. I can feel.
In this arctic desert of my soul.
It's much too late, no rescue's near,
My mind's in rage, I've lost control.
The forest clears, an open land,
It hurts my eyes, the light's so clear.
I've finally reached it; it's in my hand
But now it's too late, my treasure dear!
Now that I found you
My heart will live forever.
I know I could never give up
And finally we're together.
The moon is shinning, time stands still,
There's no need for a place to hide.
Released for the rest of my life,
You hold me as I die.
5. Sorrow and Pain
Staring into the mirror
What do I see?
A broken madman
With a face like me!
Reflections of a shadow
That I once knew.
Every day's a circle
There's nothing new.
The sands of time are running, what will still remain?
Can you tell me who's behind the rain?
Sorrow and Pain are nearly the same,
When you cry late at night.
Sorrow and Pain are always the same,
In the absence of light.
I'm sitting all alone,
The walls just drift away.
The truth is never shown,
It changes from day to day.
It's what they'll make us all,
Us all believe.
Our brainwashed minds
Yearn for relief.
The sands of time are running, what will still remain?
Can you tell me who's behind the rain?
Sorrow and Pain are nearly the same;
When you cry late at night.
Sorrow and Pain are always the same,
In the absence of light.
6. Beresina I: Beresinalied
7. Beresina II: The Retreat
8. Beresina III: Journey Trough the Night
Mountains of my home, eternal snow.
Valleys of green, with lakes down low.
But here I am at war so many miles away,
Far in the east where battle took its way.
No hope is near.
It's death we fear.
A frozen tear.
It's hard to bear.
Oh through the night I see the bridges burning behind
us. No relief for our tortured souls to find.
The mists of life, no hope for tomorrow,
The cold winds of death deepen our sorrow.
No hope is near.
It's death we fear.
A frozen tear.
But then we hear.
Our life is like the journey of a wanderer through the night,
But unexpectedly night and darkness leave out of sight
Courage, courage brothers the sun will rise again,
Stand tall for this night and you'll find release from pain.
These words fade away
In the light of day,
As the fire burns
And the battle turns.
We're running side by side,
There's no place to hide.
As the grenades crack,
There's no turning back.
All hope and luck is gone
My friends fall one by one.
There's no way to retreat,
In the battles heat.
Somehow I get ashore,
I can't take no more.
I reach the other side,
I don't know how I survived.
I survived…
Mountains of my home, eternal snow.
Valleys of green, with lakes down low.
Back now I am, from a war so many miles away.
Far in the east where still many brave souls lie.
No hope is near.
It's death we fear.
A frozen tear.
But then we hear.
Our life is like the journey of a wanderer through the night,
But unexpectedly night and darkness leave out of sight
Courage, courage brothers the sun will rise again,
Stand tall for this night and you'll find release from pain.
9. Out of the Theatre: Act IV: Three Colours Black
There's a mirror in Front of me
But I don't know the face I see
Too many voices in my head
I searched for peace got war instead
Leave me alone, just leave me be
But there's no chance, no way to flee
Damn cold sweat runs through my neck
Imprisoned by three colours black!
Give me a bullet and a gun in my hand,
Don't feed me your shit, let me die like a man.
You destroyed everything in what I believed,
You took every reason for which I lived.
But now it's enough - I don't care,
Look what you have done - be aware.
For I'm
Black in my mind,
There's no light left that could shine through.
Black in my mind,
Yes, my hate will come down on you.
You played with my heart, made me a fool,
Abused all I gave and I was the tool
You had to sacrifice for your selfish plan.
I hate you. It will never happen again
Now don't be afraid - just look at me,
My moment of vengeance - it's what you will see.
For it's
Black in my heart,
There's no light left that could shine through.
Black in my heart,
Fear my hate, it's coming down on you.
Everything's broken, everything's lost
I'll never again give you my trust.
It cost me dear but I paid the price
I hope you choke on your goddamn lies.
So look at me - yes, we're related,
I am the beast that you've created.
For it's
Black in my soul,
There's no light left that could shine through
Black in my soul,
It's too late, my hate comes down on you
10. Out of the Theatre: Act V: Turning Point
He:
Oh fate what have you done to me
The bitter taste of life I feel.
The darkness rises, the lights fade out
Three colours black is all my life's about.
Fate:
Can't you see
Your life is yours,
It's not up to me
To decide every move.
He:
Nothing did I do to anger you
Why do you punish me? Give me a clue.
You took my life you took it all,
Do you really enjoy to see me fall?
Fate:
I never took
A thing of you,
Why don't you look
At what you do.
Fate:
Every decision you will take
Has a consequence to come,
It's not up to me to make
Up your mind when you choose.
He:
It's not my life it all is fate
Where's the help when you need it most?
For all I feel is confusion and hate
Despair is near, I lost the hope to reach the goals I could.
Fate:
It's not all fate it's all your life
I wouldn't help you even if I could.
For with perfection this world was created
Don't despair, I gave you all to play the role you should.
He:
you tell me all is up to me?
How can this be for I have seen
My future and my end,
In the theatre walking hand in hand.
Fate:
What you have seen is your free will
It's the direction you took right then.
Do you think that after all
It would be the same if you went there again?
He:
You might be right I do admit
But still there's hopelessness and with it
The rocky road that lies ahead
The faces of the past that drive me mad.
Fate:
Have you really thought that life's so easy
And to solve your problems is all I do?
Every path you choose bears pain and hope
Which one succeeds is up to you.
He:
What is if she's really right?
What is if I choose my path?
If it's up to me, I might
Have to make up my mind and choose.
He:
It's not all fate it's all my life
I'd take no help even if she would.
For with perfection this world was created
I won't despair, I found all to play the role I should.
Fate:
It's not all fate it's all your life
I wouldn't help you even if I could.
For with perfection this world was created
Don't despair, I gave you all to play the role you should.
11. Out of the Theatre: Act VI: Next Mile
The candle has stopped burning
The light has seized to be.
And my heart just keeps on yearning
Where is the love for me?
The mist is drawing nearer
The road has turned away.
Despair is getting clearer
I waste my life each day.
Come over here
Hold me for a while.
Take a rest with me
Before we walk the next mile.
Nights are getting dark
Hours fade to black
Dawn enlights the sky
A new day brings hope, don't ever look back.
The wind is blowing stronger
All hope for spring is gone.
The winter's getting longer
I am waiting for a dawn.
Rain is falling down on me
It covers me at night.
There's nothing left for me to see
I'm searching for the light.
Come over here
Hold me for a while.
Take a rest with me
Before we walk the next mile.
Nights are getting dark
Hours fade to black
Dawn enlights the sky
A new day brings hope, don't ever look back.
I'd pass the sea of a thousand tears just to see the sun again.
It's me that lived through all sad years, only good times will remain.
12. Out of the Theatre: Act VII: The Storm
I've seen it all,
Been down the street.
The empty alleys,
Where the lonely bleed.
I paid the price
A price so dear,
For all my failures,
I've paid for years.
I've crossed the ocean
Of the broken hearted,
I met my luck
Just to be again parted.
Washed down the gutter
I found my new home.
On the edge of sanity
I lived on my own.
I've felt the loneliness of the night,
But I came back laughing at the light.
And I drowned in the sea
Of malice, of lies and of greed.
But I came back through the storm,
Stronger than life - I'm reborn!
I saw the mirror
I looked at me.
The shattered pieces
That were left to be.
For in the eyes of the others
They say lies true hell.
I found it to be true,
Learned to live with this spell.
I've left the theatre,
Burnt it down.
I've shut the door
Without a sound.
No more shadows
From the past I left behind.
Nothing stayed with me
But the scars in my mind.
I've lived the loneliness of the night,
But I came back cursing the light.
And I drowned in the sea
Of malice, of lies and of greed.
But I came back through the storm,
Stronger than life - I'm reborn!
13. 187
Who wants to hear my story?
Do I want to face the truth?
The shadows of my worries
Are tearing at my youth.
Where else could I go?
What more shall I try?
When the kiss of love
Turns into a lie!
Can I steer the ship before it hits the shore?
Another broken cradle lying on the floor.
I've been searching for a God
But his face was turned away.
Father don't deceive me now
Your child led astray.
The dove has left, it's out sight,
An open door, a ray of light.
But it's just another night
Father, how can this be right?
Can I steer the ship before it hits the shore?
Another broken cradle lying on the floor.
I've been searching for a God
But his face was turned away.
Father don't deceive me now
Your child led astray.
