1. Beyond
2. Middle of madness
Dreaming of a place so clean and fine
But I don't think that I will find it anywhere
I'm searching on and on again
But my time is wasted. I can't find it nowhere
See the dream, face the facts, can't you see the difference?
All was clear, it's turbid now, what have we done?
I hope we'll never reach the point of no return
I'm afraid we've shut the door
Changing times
I guess we’re living in the middle of madness
Changing times, let’s start again
And I take a look around
It’s a view in bitterness
We must stop and turn, can’t you see it now
Put an end to madness
See the dream, face the facts, can't you see the difference?
All was clear, it's turbid now, what have we done?
Watch the sunlight, it burns your skin
I hope we'll never reach the point of no return
I'm afraid we've shut the door
Changing times
I guess we’re living in the middle of madness
Changing times, let’s start again
And when I look around and face the world like it is
It's still a place I'd like to live in
Still I hope this Earth will be one day a place of bliss
And the cradle for our children
But my hope is fading, the time's running out
Changing times
I guess we’re living in the middle of madness
Changing times, let’s start again
3. Believe
Just broken people, not welcome anywhere
You're always on the run and never find a place to rest
Nowhere at home, no, not in your real estate
And no one gives a damn so you try to reach the west
You know a lot of pain could be waiting
Just a little chance to get to the land of promise
You're on your way now so you have to keep on running
Just to arrive and to be driven back again
We're making progress, not in humanity
The century of refugees don't seem to find its end
Home for the homeless, I guess wi'll never be
We only close our eyes, don't want to understand
You know a lot of pain could be waiting
Just a little chance to get to the land of promise
You're on your way now so you have to keep on running
Just to arrive and to be driven back again
But believe in your dreams, believe in your dreams
You’ve got nothing to lose at all
So take your chance right now
4. Jester's rise
He was a crippled kid, got no one at his side
‘Cos he looked so deformed he avoided the daylight
He didn't believe in childhood, hadn’t seen it yet
Never felt the loving touch of a mother’s hand
Still he never felt a thirst for revenge
His fate was to live all alone
But he saw what’s going on all around
They starved in the name of thee crown
They died for the crown
He only knew a change has to come
Stood innocent in front of the sin
Accused the king of being cruel and false
He was sentenced to wear a mask of steel
So come on watch the jester’s rise
He's calling your name in the dead of the night
So come on watch the jester’s rise
He's calling your name in the dead of the night
After the execution the pain didn’t stop
But after a while he knew he could stand up
The king wanted to see him to feast his eyes
On a stigmatized crawling down on the ground
Now a jester he entertained the king
By and by he relied on him
He carefully began to tell him lies
Influenced the king by and by
So come on watch the jester’s rise
He's calling your name in the dead of the night
So come on watch the jester’s rise
He's calling your name in the dead of the night
Oh, thank the Lord that I'm still alive
Behind this mask of steel
I'll taste sweet revenge
For the pain I had to feel
He's poisoned by my lies
And he's too blind to see
But I have to be so careful
I mustn't lose my head in the end
He's got what he wanted the king's caught in his trap
Captured in a net of lies so delicate and thin
So come on watch the jester’s rise
He's calling your name in the dead of the night
So come on watch the jester’s rise
He's calling your name in the dead of the night
5. Rain falls
I'm looking .out of the window
And there ain't no trace of poison lying there
But it’s all around us
And every step we take brings us closer to our end
I can see the end
And every bite I'm taking
Is bringing back a fear I can’t define
I can’t define, no
Rain falls, rain falls, rain falls
And you’d better close your eyes
And what about our children
Will they be able to enjoy their life like we do today?
Rain falls, rain falls, rain falls
And you’d better close your eyes
And it's poisoning my dreams
Nothing's like it seems
And when I frighten up by night
I start to cry'
Rain falls, rain falls, rain falls
And you’d better close your eyes
6. False religion
Never use a rubber or you'll burn in hell
Says the holy man and he must know it well
Everything's forbidden that you might enjoy
Never touch yourself or you must apologize
Don't you think it's wrong?
The altar waits for another sacrifice
What is it now virginity has got it's price
I have a vision of my life
But in your eyes I’m living ion sin
All my life
It’s your false religion, controlling your mind
It’s your false religion, blinding your heart
Father forgive them, they know what they’re doing
Persisting in yesterdays lies
They don’t know what’s really happening
Have no slightest idea
And they’re praying all day for remission
But they'll never forgive all your sins
No chance for a sinner
You promise heaven will one day return
But in the meantime shall I sit and wait?
Just tomorrow, you're great in promises
But I'm afraid tomorrow’s much too late
I have a vision of my life
But in your eyes I’m living ion sin
All my life
It’s your false religion, controlling your mind
It’s your false religion, blinding your heart
7. Rhapsody in lies
He looks around but something's missing
Where did they go, was there a reason to leave him alone?
He doesn't know what is happening
Just realizes that he's now on his own
He only sees a face covered with steel
No, no, it can’t be true
He’s been so blind to believe him
But all his friends will come they won't ever let him fall
He's so sure they will save him
But no one comes around to free him at all
And all he used to hear all he used to know
Falsehood and deceit, their rhapsody in lies
The jester came alone and stole all he used to have
Took away his dignity and took away the crown
Now he is all alone and thinks about what he did wrong
No comfort is in sight and he is on his own
And the jester is still smiling sitting on the throne
Satisfied he's laughing as he puts on the crown
And all he used to hear all he used to know
Falsehood and deceit, their rhapsody in lies
8. To wicked leaders
You’re rich and you got all
I can only dream of
The holy dollar rules your life
Your greed of profit makes you blind
You see them starving, watch them dying
Out in the cold
Make a donation, have a clean slate
Your eyewash wins
The image is restored
Knock them out again, it won't be the last time
But do the innocent and you'll get through
Buy and sell, it’s never enough
Take as much as you can get, no matter who’s dying
Sell your soul at any price, it’s never enough
Make a bargain but you’ll see, it’s never enough
You are never satisfied. No cure for your disease
One day you'll wake up .at the end of your way
There won’t be no helping hand, no helping hand in sight
Buy and sell, it’s never enough
Take as much as you can get, no matter who’s dying
Sell your soul at any price, it’s never enough
Make a bargain but you’ll see, it’s never enough
But one day we'll be dying, no matter if we’re rich or poor
That's the only justice even you can't change
9. Into the void
This is your fate so dare to look through the fire
Cross the water and step through the gate
Time holds your key to the future
Don't turn, past might be hard on you
So get on your feet and run for your life
This is your fate
Memories guide my way through all this emptiness
No time to lose no thoughts to spend
I have to find my way through all this loneliness
Follow the signs that they have send
I could not face the truth
I'm on my way into the void
And all life drifts through my hands
Into the void
Look at the light can't you see the sorrow
Follow the light it could seal your destiny
So get up to a silver lining, and step out
Oh step out
Memories guide my way through all this emptiness
No time to lose no thoughts to spend
I have to find my way through all this loneliness
Follow the signs that they have send
Dreams won’t be lying
I can’t wait till I sleep tonight
And when I call the masters voice tonight
Oh, oh I fear to hear
And someone answers all the lies
That disappear
Look at the light can't you see the sorrow
Follow the light it could seal your destiny
So get up to a silver lining, and step out
Oh step out
I could not face the truth
I'm on my way into the void
And all life drifts through my hands
Into the void
