1. Access Denied
I feel confused by the people around
When I see how they selfishly open their mouth
You are the one who can talk them all down
I might be to shy but I`ve still got the right
We pay attention to the man in the light
I`d rather take my way out of the crowd
Silence is my only friend
but noone seems to understand
How can I talk with a scared pair of eyes
I´m close to explain but I´m still paralyzed
I long for the day when the speechless unite
Mine is the silence so leave me alone
See what I dream - feel what I fear
Watch the shadow `coming over me again
See what I dream tonight I fear when I feel alive
Watch the shadow - it`s coming over me again
The door is closed inside of me
someone threw away the key
My faer is is deep and cold as ice
Noone really needs to know
Words in my head - somewhere like gold in the night
Access denied - you know you make me say nothing
and refuse for ever more...
See what I dream - feel what I fear
Watch the shadow `coming over me again
See what I dream tonight I fear when I feel alive
Watch the shadow - it`s coming over me again
The voice inside of me is an ancient memory
It keeps all the laughter `till the day i`ll let it out...
2. The Distant Call
I have seen a thousand dreams
believe me they were real
I have touched the skys in foreign lands
It seemed as if they were friends of mine
Do they belong to me ?
I made my days with hands embraced
While shadows cover the way I go
To get the choice to choose my place
Reminds me of what my father said :
"You don`t belong to me"
Do I belong somewhere at all ?
How many roads how many dreams
Led into the night ?
It`s getting so hard to find!
End of a mile - the start of a new
No one is immune
To the longing for other lands
It`s an odyssey it`s my own desire
Do I have roots to return to ?
Certain skys and secret ways
All the things we don`t understand
We waste our lives and sell our dreams
but were we do belong I don`t know
Do they belong to me ?
How many roads how many dreams
Led into the night ?
It`s getting so hard to find!
End of a mile - the start of a new
No one is immune
To the longing for other lands
It`s an odyssey it`s my own desire
Tell me where I do belong ...
How many roads how many dreams
Discover the truth and bury the lies
It`s not the same to be where your roots are
Or just anywhere
3. A Matter of Mind
Another lonely night in your head
This is only a matter of mind
And when you play this game your whole life
How can you say if it is wrong or right ?
You can wait for a change of your mind
this is only a matter of time
And when you close your eyes overnight
He will awake in the bright moonlight
I don`t know how these feelings change
It must be more than only Jekyll and Hyde
Take the pain lose again
He is a friend you know
a spotlight there on my own Error again
Different minds in ordinary minds
fill them up with all that we are willing to want and like
no one is searching but I want to know
To end up my day
Is that how you get into my eyes
When people lose their way
It`s the opposition of me
But he is strange to everyone
It doesn`t lead me astray
Different minds in ordinary minds
Fill them up with all that you are wiilling to want and like
No one is searching but I want to know
to end up my day
Oceans flow in my veines
Demons - do we need to fear ?
Sometimes a distant spying sattelite
The put on mascerade is alright
So if you call him the master of your mind
He will show you his world in moonlight
When people lose their way...
It doesn`t lead me astray
Different minds in ordinary minds
Justifys the cause to fail
Different eyes see all that even minds
A spotlight there on all who are not willing to try
4. The Senses Go Blind
Take the world - just pay the price
For all the things that we need to be someone
Strange we call it a paradise
We obey like soldiers in user-military
I believe in what I feel
It tastes like sugar but it`s poison
That is dazing our minds
So you think you are alone
And you need something that pretends
You are someone
Your gold is only painted glass
Your fortune is just another illusion
The secret is to have no choice
It`s no wonder that your senses go blind
The feelings unite - the senses go blind , so blind
Someday you`ll find it`s just waste
What they offered with a shine
Used but so amused , like a toy in their hands
You believe in what they say , "why should they lie?"
With naked fears if the feeling disappears
"I just want to satisfy my needs"
With hungry eyes and lack of restraint
Hopeless to refuse it`s much too late
The feelings unite - the senses go blind , so blind
Someday you`ll find it`s just plastic
But they made it shine
Used and so abused and as guilty as a child
No one should control the way we feel
You are buried in gold that`s gonna melt in your hands
"I don`t want my senses go blind , no they won`t ..."
5. Wind and Light
Wind and light surround me what a sign
All my dreams are still alive on my wings i`ve learned to fly
In the silent world of the night
A soundless melody
Whispered so that I couldn`t hear
`never thought I could be so alone
I feel the mortal extends like fire
Anytime we don`t laugh
How could we know
When life goes on and on
Wind and light they keep me holding on
Make me feel i`m free and be right
Endless sorrow - sudden there`s light
In the land where nobody can find me
`close my eyes and I go into hiding
It`s the same that we all fear
" Am I just the only one in here ?"
If I could know what my heart is missing
to feel every second every sound of life
Feel awake - I´m tired of losing
I´ve seen the edge of the world
Lost and lonely but alive
When we need to be alone
Aim at light to carry on life
Wake me till I die let me feel alive
when the lights surround my eyes
I still believe there is hope to find
In a world of so many ways
And endless corridors
I run through all the doors tonight
Just to leave the maze and follow the light
define the word that we lost somehow
Before I surrender to the emtyness
Feel awake - I´m tired of losing
I´ve seen the edge of the world
Lost and lonely
If you believe you are going under
There`s no reason to hide
It´s time forgive me and I try
We can´t make it all alone
send me wind to carry on life
6. Manic
Master of mind keep me away from the line
Master of mind keep me away from the crime
I follow your signs when I fear that I have to decide
He takes my hand `teaching me how to pretend
Always a friend trust in his words till the end
Lead me to heaven I`ll do what you want me to do
Fear in my head - dust in my eys
I feel your intention in times of the night
It`s the strenght that can force to obey
Before I rely on the power you have
I`ll be gone
Play with my soul - always inside
Defy my religion - a slave to the mind
It`s the fear of the use of your might
But how can offer resistance to you in my head ?
7. Electronic Eyes
What is the answer to my hopes and dreams ?
The speed of the progress changes day by day
We`re looking around to find that certain line
But never seem to understand
Thousands of miles on just a single day
We`re starting ahead to walk the milky way tonight
There`s nothing to win and nothing to find new
Only the mind is still left to know
You will understand when you realize
We help to make an enemy
Can`t you see the line into I should fall
And disappear ?
With electronic eyes
Could we ever find the answer to it all ?
You can see by scanning things at night
You can move controlled while you think twice
But can you feel in a way of humanity ?
When your hypnotic eyes decide to make it real
Still in memory the danger of minority
Can`t you see the line into I should fall
And disappear ?
You`re beside your mind in a mission without aim
There`s no need to feel anymore
Can`t you see my eyes
Electronic eyes - I can read your mind
Do we really need the answer to it all ?
Electronic eyes see all
but they will never read between the lines
8. Now and Again
Would you like to be the one
would you like to be renowend ?
A silent rage can pave the way
can keep the coldness in your eyes
Weak and chased into the light
and just a heartless smile away
They all believe in what I seem to be
so I must keep this face alive
This is a world of anger and hate
We dream of heaven but we live in hell
Now and again - now the feeling is over again - with a lie
You can always pretend it`s alright and fine
Could you help me to fight when danger is high ?
When my honesty fades away
Who`s afraid to be alive again ?
What in me- what is deep in my mind ?
What if the danger makes me feel I could die ?
Still in my head what makes be this way
And what can ease the blame inside
Too much hate too many oppositions
But the order was to win somehow
I believe there is a place to be
people get along without a trace of baseness
This is a world of anger and hate
We put our faith in hells´array
We dream of heaven but we live in hell
Now the feeling is over again - though I try
Could you help me to find my way out of the ice
That has frozen the dream of a warm summernight
Can I offer myself to you ?
I believe that I can learn to feel
What is in me - what`s behind my eyes ?
Is it a dream withhin a lost paradise ?
If I could feel - if I could feel ashamed
I lose my faith within a thousand lies
All my life could be the final lie..
9. Live in the Light
Now that we`ve found a way to relieve
From the pain - we just close our eyes
There`s no hate there`s no black and withe
So proud that everything is under control
Let me take you down to the place
where you would rather like to see somebody else
How can we leave them with chains around
War is not a game on TV it`s a game of misery
Some people have to live in the darkness
´Cause some people like to live in the light
Some don`t know how they can survive any longer
But you say it`s just the way that it goes
It`s not fair to say the chances we offer
Are quite enough to ease the pain in the world
You look away while some children die
And think of hunger in the world to be a lie
We feel so safe in that harmony
But losing human solidarity
Yes we feel ok to the games we play...
Some people have to live in the darkness
´cause some rather like to live in the light
Should they look forward to the end of a nightmare
To the moment when we turn up the light ?
Reach out your hands for tomorrow
Reach out for every light in your life
Well cant`t you see that they can`t wait any longer
The time is right to help them into the light
