1. The Stolen Eye
Holes in my face, thorn in my side
Sounds of the masses - so far away
I`ve wasted my time believing in you
Nothing is sacred to me anymore
But I feel I must tell about it right now
What they have done to me
How could I ever lose my faith
I know I`m one of a few
I beg someday I`ll be again
The one I was before
2. Ancient Lies
What are we using to keep fire alive ?
I´m still awaiting but I have no time to try
To believe in what the mindless used to say
The words are dying but the lies are still alive
Do you receive me and the problems in my head ?
You won`t be with me when I´m hopeless in the night?
You let them make all things undone
And leave the spaces that I should fill with aim
Ancient lies remind me of
All the ones who died believing in you
Every word is just like haze
Everlasting but the pain won`t go
Every moment lies in every single life
Every word is just an empty smile
Ancient lies - you won`t deceive me
throw dust in my eyes
I won`t believe you anymore....
Ancient lies remind me of
All the ones who died believing in you
Every word is just like haze
You head straight for those who don`t know how
Send me a wonder or make the things alright
Don`t tell those stories changing water into wine
How could I believe in what they pray ?
"If god is absent - who will pave my way?"
3. Incognito
Sometimes I feel they all talk me down
"Always do this ! - Don`t go astray
Or move far away from here!"
Can't stand all the million voices
Talking to me on a silent wavelength
What is the answer for me ?
Because I don`t want to be as they want me to
Nobody knows who I am, nobody knows....
We are in disguise tonight - flowing with the tide
There must be a part of me chasing everyone
And your head spins round and round
Some of the people they walk undercover
And there is no-one waiting
I never wanted to be in the frontline
When I see you behind me
Who´s inside ?
Take me to the shattered ones we left behind
We all know it`s true - we live a stranger`s life
We are hiding the core like a blame
moonlight in sight - nightmares appear:
I am the only one who can see what`s really going on
What is the answer for me ?
Because I don`t want to be as they want me to
Nobody knows who I am, nobody knows....
We are in disguise tonight - chasing everyone
There must be a part of me flowing with the tide
And your head spins round and round
Some of the people they walk undercover
And there is no-one waiting
I never wanted to be as they want me to
When I see you behind me
4. Just a Dream
Into the distance - far from anywhere
I looked into a fairytale, a place of pleasure
The child inside me `still hungry for the day
A late encounter - I foresee the memories that will appear
I can`t believe it`s over
I can`t believe it`s just a dream
Your life is freezing halfway
You have to learn to be a man
I'm damned to be much older than I feel
And realize the childhood that I leave
Out of my window - a glimpse of what I ´ve been
Somehow they killed the boy I used to be
One magic moment fills my heart with greed
Light in the darkness - see me playing on the fields of summer
I left my childhood sooner than I wanted to
I can`t rewind it and I can`t live forever and a day
I can`t believe it`s over
I can`t believe it`s just a dream
Your life is freezing halfway
You have to learn to be a man
I can`t rewind - stop looking back!
Nothing remains.........
5. The Stranger Within
I fell into a black hole
The ones I used to know
Had been leaving me alone
When I ´ve got to stop the way we used to see the times we had
I won`t be be the same anymore
You and I were always between
The things I never saw
The stranger isn`t me...
When I ´ve got to stop the way we used to see the times we had
I won`t be be the same anymore
No-one belongs to anyone we have to stand alone !
Moments return to nowhere so what will be the same?
No-one belongs to anyone and no-one is a friend
Ashes return to ashes - I tried until the end
Way to nowhere - we have come so far
For some cold reason we have drifted apart
When your life`s changing don`t believe in what they say!
The streets of sorrow they will end up right here !
Way to nowhere you won`t lead me to
The doors of fortune and things made of gold
Inspiration fills me up again
Though my life is changing - I won`t be a different man
Shout it out when you feel abused
Everything can change
But the stranger will remain
But I´ve got to keep my faith when they decide to let me down
I`ll be the same as before
I have got to keep my faith when they decide to let me down
I`ll be the same as before
You won`t blind me - I can see this
Though you deceived my mind
I`ll be the same as before...............
6. Logan 5
7. Open to Attack
You ! - Can I hide behind your face ?
And I won`t appear as I am
Through the coldness in your eyes
I was too shy to speak my name
When I saw the endless crowd.....
You wear that uniform again
Though I don`t agree - let me in
I was naked in the light
So I refuse to be open - no !
If this world is a fair place
We don`t let it show
People hurt each other
Everywhere I go
Exposure as a pastime
This is when I frown
Easy to get under
Won`t you do it again - to me again ?
You cannot hide behind my face
Because a leaf has covered my skin
And no-one is unfaltering
But we don`t know how to show
If this world is a fair place
We don`t let it show
People hurt each other
Everywhere I go
If this world is a diamond
We must let it shine
A gift from one to another
Won`t you do it again - to me again
8. Point of View
You are always the concience inside
But different is all that we want to be
You looked me straight in the eyes
And left my side with a smile on your face
Nothing in common, like a fighting defender
Always in danger of a useless surrender
Wasting time to keep the lion's eye
Isolation makes me feel this way
I don`t want to take strong advice like
"Don`t go there and follow evil`s way "
See the words we`ve had every night
You cannot win unless you don`t give in
It´s no use wasting a single tear
I just want to show my point of view
You put the spy in my head
And I put up with losing my self control
Faces they stare without eyes
Prey on my mind - capture my dreams
Nothing in common - a binding agenda
Don`t say the world keeps on turning without me.........
9. Dare to Fly
Father you left me - you`ve always been with me
Bringing the sunlight into the day
"Listen to reason and make a decision"
A powerful engine but a few steps away from the edge
How could you leave me so alone ?
Always confusion - too many opinions
The world that I cling to is wasting away
Looking for wisdom in moments of sadness
Is anyone out there to get me away from the pain
You never made me play the game
Killing the state of imagination
I have to walk alone
Where is the sense that I should follow ?
No-one can help me - I´m so alone
I dare to fly - no net in sight
I can feel you by my side
I won`t be the same again
But I know my life will go on
Full of memories deep in my head
Because I know the things you would say
I need something to chain me down
No-one can hurt me - and treat me this way !
Embracing the power - remember the time
Irrational feelings - where are you now ?
Nothing will frighten me anymore !
Every sunrise - the sign of your presence
The moments of sadness - they slipped away
Give me the power to make a decision
To enter my life just a few steps away from the past
You never wanted to leave me this way
Killing the state of indecision
I have to walk alone
Now that I `ve found the role I´m playing ?
No-one can helpme - I`m in between
I dare to fly - no net in sight
Because I know you won`t leave me alone
No, I won`t be a different man
I will be the same again ...........
