1. I Will Remember
It´s two-ten in the night
I´m waiting for the sleep to come
Tonight I start activities
I cannot do when daylight weeps.
And when I wake up sometimes
It feels like I´m dying
I wish my eyes could´nt see -
´cos what they saw they can´t believe
And they are tired to notice me
All these memories keeps me awake
And in the dark they passes by Me ,
the general - an army of ghosts
Soldier of the past - so much is lost
Is this the paradise I see - A bird of fantasy
An illusion of reality The ghosts of yesterday they call me
Drive me away - from this scenery of evolution we lapse
That´s beyond me
I´m sorry for this restlessness
I don´t want to disturb you
Have you ever dreamt of beeing dead
And did you ever feel alone ?
I see the morning crawling up
Its light will lead me from the dark
It tells me from a bright new day
Will I ever find my way ? And when I . . .
In the middle of nowhere I´m hunting
Thousand devils at my neck.
I´m hunting for salvation and peace Hurry up ,
I don´t look back !
2. Thousand Miles To Rail
A realm without a silent call
Raising ancient memories
If we start again , or hate us now
Appease the devils call
Mile by mile - landscape goes by
Rainfilled clouds - like my mind
Foreign city - unknown places
Icecold skin - unhealthy faces
Thousand miles to rail
As long as I can hate
T´was always been too late
As long as I can love
I´ve always been afraid
It´s a question of our intentions
A question of goodwill and so on
Foreign city - unknown places
Thousand miles to rail
Icecold skin - unhealthy faces
Thousand miles to rail
Love , pain , pleasure
As long as I can hate
As long as it for sure . . .
. . . this is not my century
this is not the place we wanna be
all what I grasped
has turned to ash
3. From The Inside
This burning desire , my heart seemed too small
I learned to bear these days full of fear
This burning desire , my heart seemed too cold
I dried my tears and armed my fears
My head wants to explode
My heart wants to know
There´s nothing left to lose
There´s no greater power than throwing all away
What makes you hesitate !
The force in me goes to extreme
A lot of things to choose
I´m tired of waiting for no one
The miracle has done - I´m afraid
We sit and pray to a god above
We lie and die , we stand and stare
We wish for hate - we call it love
We fade so fast but we don´t care
This burning desire , my heart seemed too small
I learned to bear these days full of fear
The force is gone , my heart is cold
I´m listening to the sound again
These words which no one teach
Thousand voices led my pain although my fate has reached
I steel god day by day and wonder " is it all for me " ?
Runnin´ smiling ´gainst the wall
Would I really want to know ?
I fall
No matter of condition
No question of obey
In days like these we´re dying
In days like these we pray .
4. Savage Life
He´s a young boy who has too much thoughts
´bout his life and ´bout his beeing .
From the world we know he gets so far
By the books he was reading .
A relief from this empty space he gets because his age .
You can´t ignore the look upon
His curious lookin´face .
If it is to be -
it is up to me !
murd , terror , deathbombs - destroying all humanity !
Throw it all away - killing our dignity !
Politics of today - they tend to pretend !
As an old man he will see backwards ,
´bout his life and what he´s reachin´ .
from his wife , she gave birth to his son ,
just a young boy he was once .
This look upon his curious face make him sick and thoughtful too -
´cos nothing changes in the world -
it´s just forty years ago !
5. The More It Changes
And nothing lasts forever
And everything comes back
And the more it changes
The more it stays the same
And nothing lasts forever
and everything wents black
Tonight
I guess
It´s the end !
And the smell of a fresh-mowed meadow
Can´t disguise that summer´s gone
I looked around this silkened sky
Try to rinse the night away
Wanted to pour with this shower of rain
Searching for shadows
At the dark forgotten grave
And nothing lasts forever
And everything comes back
And the more it changes
The more it stays the same
And nothing lasts forever
And everything wents black
And the more it changes
The more it breaks your neck
The more it breaks your neck
6. Angry Neighbor
Destroying all dissentient
Buried under desert sand .
Million tons of murder
Escort us to our victory
To give this world a new bloody order .
A peaceful picture
Drawn by peaceful hands
Let it die before it lives .
It´s a nice world
Where I have the grace to dwell on
The speech of god dictated war
The reborn ruler take his sword
In agony we cry and scream
Death is tumblin´ from the sky
We´re sentenced to destroy ourself
Our faith will keep us clean .
By the way
I´m human and I have just one life
I don´t beg for the strength to survive .
Angry neighbor .
We are send in the name of our lord
We will kill and destroy in the name of our religion
The bloody banner is a cross - a halfmoon or a sword
Mankind and equality - nothing else but fiction
7. A Good Day...
Just a moment in time
Just a touch from behind
Yes , I walk through the past
Future means death at last
This cold hand of my thoughts
Try to reach you - no afford
A simple try you can´t ignore
A touch from you - I´m longing for
It´s not the way you wear your dress tonight
It´s more I know you want to pull it out
I don´t know what makes me more afraid
To loose you or to be with you
´til the rest of my days
it feels so strange , this emptiness
this eremite I had become
I face the fact , it´s far too late
I die by my own hands - a step through a gate
It´s a good day to die
8. Where The Flaming Angel Went
No one was in the field just burning flowers at the edge of the way
When like a giant across the grass the flaming angel went
A child with wide opened frightened eyes
Death in his look and no choice at all
Hatred figueres passes by
A man with a gun is searching for his wife
Another little child is running for his life
Steps on a mine - his mother´s crying
These could be my last words
I could be the last human to tell ya
We are lost and damned
Is this our destiny - no way to survive ?
Father , mother , holy god
Are you still proud ?
Is there something I should had better known -
Is there a secret for life , a key to survive ?
So tell me !
There`s no use to stand
Where the flaming angel went
His long hair in flames and you cry out his names
A strategic murder mashine has come
For the rest of our days
We will serve for and die for
This little child`s eyes
We will die for a thousand times
It asks me why when he steps on a mine
And I don`t know why - so tell me !
9. Son Of Mourning
Oh fallen star
A darkened light
A glory hurtled from its car
Self - blasted from the holy height
Oh fallen star
As froth on the face of the deep
As foam on the crest of the sea
As dreams at the waking of sleep
As harvest that no man shall reap
Fallen beyond world´s utmost bar
Beyond return - beyond far sight
Of outmost glimmering nebular
Now blackness which once walked in white
Now death , whose life once glowed afar
Oh son of dawn that loved the night
Oh, fallen star !!
Who shall stay their ruinous mess
Besotted - reckless
Possessed and decoyed
They hurry to the dolourous path
Is hope that never shall be
Oh my god unto thee
Saints fall a-weeping who would have enjoyed
Sore they weep for a glory that was
For a fulness emptied into the void
Ah , fallen star - alas alas !
