1. Suicide

I've been stumblin' through my years
All I had was sweat and tears
When I thought I had it made
I was always much too late
And throughout my whole life I've done everything wrong

No way out - suicide
No way out - suicide

I am loosing all I get
For myself there's just regret
And my brain, it feels so ill
Am I waiting for the kill?

What the hell's there on earth that cold keep me alive?

There's a shadow on my back taking the wrong track
Now I've gone a bit too far
I've begun a private war
All I hate is myself but I've shot someone else




2. Down By Law

Help me, I must reach the border
I run from the keepers of order
They have locked me just for nothing

Help me, I'm down by law
Help me, I'm down by law
Watch out, they're at your door
Help me, I'm down by law

There's no chance to defend
When power is in wrong hand
Me, I come out for the dirt, I got nothing
No, the cops, they were looking for a fight
And I'm a victim of denunciation

My fortune is a plight
Where's law there's no right
"Kill this bastard hunt him to death!"
"Oh, have mercy!""No, you won't be free!"
Now I'm a criminal subject
Why? My life a mess, no turning back
Just because arbitrariness rules this land




3. Don't Fear The Winter

Autumn - the time of darkness and decay
Life's running shorter day by day

Winter - has gripped the land in cold caress
He's all alone and deeply depressed, she's dead

Don't you fear the winter, I will keep you safe
And warm
Don't you fear the winter, nothing's gonna
Do you harm

Midnight - and on the graveyard a storm is RAGEing
The clods of earth hide his whole life

Homeless - who's lonely now will be for long
The wind will drift him on and on, like the leaves

Don't you fear the winter, I will keep you safe
And warm
Don't you fear the winter, come with me,
There'll be no harm

A silent might that has moved you
Hear your waters stand still
Striding down to the elder
Soon you'll meet her again

Autumn - who's got the time knows nothing yet
Who cares? But watchful are the Dead

Midnight - It's hard to face and deeply sad
But you're asleep so don't look back, you're dead

Don't you fear the winter, I will keep you safe
And warm
Don't you fear the winter, nothing's gonna
Do you harm
Don't you fear the winter, I will keep you safe
And warm
Don't you fear the winter, come with me,
There'll be no harm




4. Ashes

Have you ever heard 'bout the people who burned
Somehow immediately down with no reason at all,
They didn't play with fire, they had no deathwish and it
happened in a few minutes, it destroyed them completely

Just like Dr. Bentley, when they found him there was no smoke
nor a spell but the ceiling was burned,
They found his right leg and the morning gown,
It was still intact but the doctor had gone

What's this fire that burns the wires?
Death by fire from the wires

There was nothing left. They found only ashes on the ground
Noone could explain,
Noone would believe it.

It's a phenomenon that's not often been seen,
Like an inner heat burns the body complete.
This is still a riddle that cuts us down to size
We are still quite helpless in our modern days.

What's this fire that burns the wires?
Death by fire from the wires

There was nothing left. They found only ashes on the ground
Noone could explain,
Noone would believe it.

There was nothing left. They found only ashes on the ground
In this cdase it seems that our rules are not worth a dime.

No way to run and hide
the flames come from inside




5. Invisible Horizons

Flying high, setting signs
we got the future in our veins
but still a long way to go

All we know has lost its size
if you're looking down from space.
Your problems are unreal at one blow

Does it make a sense at last
to learn the mistakes of the past?
Infected with an old disease

And today tomorrow waits
in another galaxy.
Waiting to take us away

We are the only truth?
How can we be so smug
like a child playing God...
I wish I knew
is it still far to go - -Invisible horizons
What is behind
the picture in my mind - Invisible horizons

It is many ages away
a life that's far beyond our rays
that we send out to get a sign

A million places there to be
it's only logical, you see
that we're not the centre of creation

We are the only truth?
How can we be so smug
like a child playing God...
I wish I knew
is it still far to go - -Invisible horizons
What is behind
the picture in my mind - Invisible horizons




6. Light Into The Darkness

Shadows in my mind, it's dead, all I had inside
bunched is the old fear, just to let a new one appear
just be quiet, my heart, and keep the peace in the dark
blossom's better than decay, there must be more for me, I can't wait

Oh, when will you leave, eternal night, you lead to the nevermore
end up this chain existence, now, the best is yet to come for me

There's light into the darkness
so come and lay down by my side
there's light into the darkness
come on and rest your mind in my arms
let me enlight your darkness
there's nothing better than a friend
give light into my darkness...

I've heard a distant voice, it said aloud the word I'm waiting for
Just keep quiet in peace, beware your heart in the dark, the word is here

Can you see the colours in the new born leaves on every tree
rescue can be found in each thing, if one just gets into it

There's light into the darkness
so come and lay down by my side
there's light into the darkness
come on and rest your mind in my arms
let me enlight your darkness
there's nothing better than a friend
give light into my darkness...

free of pain, free from doubts, free of fear

Can you see the colours in the new born leaves on every tree
rescue can be found in each thing, if one just gets into it

There's light into the darkness
so come and lay down by my side
there's light into the darkness
so let me lay down by your side
there's light into the darkness...

if I just get into it




7. Time Waits For Noone

You don't like what you see
you don't know what it means and what it's like.
You close your eyes, you're afraid that all you
have learned has changed

Time waits for noone
You can't fix it if you try
Time waits for noone
You can join it for a little while

Once put into your brain
all the things of life got a special frame
but you forget that this world's go a different
face each day

Time waits for noone
You can't fix it if you try
Time waits for noone

You can join it for a little while
You can join it till you die

"What's this jungle noise?
Long haired filthy boys?
Sex before marriage?
You don't believe in the pope?!

Time waits for noone




8. Saddle The Wind

Now I know it's time again to change my life
Yes it's time for me to leave it all behind
Say goodbye to all I'd have if I'd stay here
No, I don't need it anymore

The wind is whispering in the trees, they call my name
The birds that leave me down here, they all do the same
Don't you think that I don't care
There'll be a time
When I am old enough to stay

There's this longing in my heart that must be fed
It gets its thrills outside the walls
There are still so many pictures in my head
I must follow to this call

As I leave it all behind - saddle the wind
Satisfy my longing mind - saddle the wind
As I leave it all behind - saddle the wind
Say goodbye from time to time - saddle the wind

As I see the naked earth, wide open fields
There's a vision to become a part of it
In its sparkling waves the river invites me
To join it on the journey to the sea

And always when I feel I've got a home
Then I need to get away

As I leave it all behind - saddle the wind
Satisfy my longing mind - saddle the wind
As I leave it all behind - saddle the wind
Say goodbye from time to time - saddle the wind

There's this longing in my heart...

Saddle the wind




9. Solitary Man

Since a while I thought 'bout leaving here
I can see no way to get it clear
Under you I feel misunderstood
In this respectable neighbourhood
Hey, don't look for me no more
'Cause I won't be coming home
I'm just a solitary man
I'm gonna leave you now alone
Well, I'm a solitary man
I feel so strange here, do you know?
I have heard they're tellin' tales 'bout me
Find me weird and most unusually
Can't you see that I'm just doing my way?
Live it out what you all just pretend
I don't need no company
If I did I'd look for better
I'm just a solitary man
I'm gonna leave you now alone
Well, I'm a solitary man
It may seem strange to you, I know
I don't need this bullshit anymore
I'm stepping out, I'm gonna close the door
Will I ever reach the point of it
When I wear a suit that does not fit?
I'm just a solitary man...




10. Enough Is Enough

We send satellites to space
And we own the biggest missiles
We give millions of support for technology
But still we can't even live in peace with our neighbour
Most of us are insane of neuroses
Enough is enough - you can control
Enough is enough - those who don't know
Faster - this world is heading straight into a big disaster
Tell me, when will it reach its end?
Bigger - when moneymakers stamp our souls with technology
Believe me, this got to reach an end
All this misery in our minds will break free, you will see...
Social psychology - seek the key for our salvation
This science needs more support, it could help that
The understanding of the single person can grow,
But who pays
'Cause if we stay weak we are much better to use
Enough is enough - head over heart
Enough is enough - right from the start
Faster - this world is heading straight into a big disaster
Tell me, when will it reach its end?
Bigger - when moneymakers stamp our souls with technology
Believe me, this got to reach an end
All this misery in our minds will break free, you will see...
Science is only as good or as bad
As the people who use it
And if we want to have a tomorrow
We should take ten percent of the money from our armies
And develop the minds of our nations
Enough is enough - you can control
Enough is enough - those who don't know
Faster - this world is heading straight into a big disaster
Tell me, when will it reach its end?
Bigger - when moneymakers stamp our souls with technology
Believe me, this got to reach an end
Faster - a victory 'bout fear, this is the greatest glory
Believe me, the first step has been made
Bigger - the real progress - another quality in our way of life
From quantity to quality
Away from misery in our minds, make them free, it's got to be...




11. Medicine

I feel sick, I'm so nervous I can't sleep,
Life is getting more busy each day
And my doctor is giving me more pills
Some get me up, some calm me down, yeah
Modern chemistry, big into business
Is the keeper of our neuroses
And we don't listen to our body
By the time it gets the overdose
Oh, there's such a simple healing
'Cause we've got a power inside that make us real tough
The right medicine for us is going back to our roots
We better look for sanity inside
The right medicine for you and me is really free
It's coming with the wind for those who ask for more
There's and Indian chief who discovered
What his ancestors already knew
And he's shown us the path of the power
In his vision there's a reborn truth
Oh, there's such a simple healing
'Cause we've got a power inside that can make us real tough
The right medicine for us is going back to our roots
We better look for sanity inside
The right medicine for you and me is really free
It's coming with the wind for those who ask for more
Don't wait for help, you won't get what you need
Wake up your spirits and let them run free
Courage to kick all your sorrows away
The universe in you, it's your energy
Oh, there's such a simple healing...




12. Firestorm

This place, home for all generations, never's been to small
when all life worked hand in hand
the centuries passed one by one
without changing the circumstances
that we needed to be there

Like a firestorm
when all home dies and fear is born
to feed the firestorm
Like a firestorm
that burns the ground you're standing on
we'll feed the firestorm

And then - slowly but surely -
explorers and inventors stepped into
the system they didn't understand
that's when the trouble began
and when the time marched on
they had learned how to destroy

Like a firestorm...

The end of the story is: nothing's impossible
and that's what we're afraid of
apocalyptic signs, our homestead stands in flames
guess we missed the lesson modesty




13. Refuge

This is mine, here's where my home is
I don't want to let you break into my world
All my life I've been looking for something
that's my own, I'm so glad I found it now

Don't you step on this ground
I don't want to lose an inch of my freedom
I'll lose my soul if you steal my refuge

Leave my cloud and stay away
this is my refuge
play your dirty tricks, my friend
but leave my refuge

I grow stronger and you feel smaller
guess that's your reason for taking up my time
with every secret that you make public
your influence on my life grows, ain't this true?

Don't step on this ground
I don't want to lose an inch of my freedom
I'll lose my soul if you steal my refuge
Leave my cloud and stay away
this is my refuge
play your dirty tricks, my friend
but leave my refuge
Leave my refuge




14. Raw Caress

This time the wind has blown me forwards
from the sick and stinking harvest. I've laid her much too long.
I feel like an old and restless sailor
with visions long forgotten, a free will much to strong.

Raw caress

Right then, when darkness fell around me
and my fruits no longer ripened, and end was coming near.
Returned from a safe self-chosen prison
to a storm that ripped my heart out and took it far from here.

Pain and misery left its marks on me
start again from here
Cold reality needs to be set free
chances now at hand

Life's a raw caress, it's a raw caress, it's a raw caress to me.

And now, as I gather up my back bone
to rebuild it even stronger,
the clouds break up again.
It seems, even if fortune is tragic,
that a sad tale finds an ending that's reconciled again.

Pain and misery...

Reach out - the old eternal timewaves are flowing on and on.
Look up - the dawn is soon awaking, there's land in sight again

Raw caress




15. Vertigo

Look into my eyes and sink deeper
look into my eyes,
drown into my will like a sleeper,
drown into my eyes.
Now you feel as light as a feather,
leave it all behind.
Strip your mind of all that encaged you,
forget about the time.

And from the first sight to the last
the world is tumbling into vertigo.

I can lead you, ways to explore you,
ways you'd never find.
I can make you mine if I want to,
you'd make up my mind.
Feel these healing hands,
eyes of fire, magic pendulum
makes you dizzy at first sight,
now my time has come.

And from the first sight to the last
the world is tumbling into vertigo.

Oh, something touched you deep inside
oh, take hold of a distant light
oh, hypnotised, feels like vertigo
