1. Prelude No.1/Presto
2. The Winner
We all have to climb a ladder
Don't use the one-way street to Hell
Friends deceive without cold sweat
Tell me what we're fighting for
Kicking chums like wretched sinners
Praise ourselves to the highest point
God said he would send the Messiah
But Satan closed the door
No more compromise, we pay the price
Make everything undone, we're ready for sacrifice
Reach out your hand, you'll be the winner
Let's try to catch the caravan of lies
If you stay so blind, you'll be the sinner
We have to change to be born again
Like a sniper fire of demons
When we're merging our souls
We shed the blood of our saviour
Blind leading the blind
Here we stand as reborn brothers
No more chasing our tails
To find the kingdom of perception
But no one sees the sign
No more disguise, let's realize
Let's so against the Grain and try to optimise
Reach out your hand, you'll be the winner
Let's try to catch the caravan of lies
If you stay so blind, you'll be the sinner
We have to change to be born again
SOLO
No more compromise, we pay the price
Make everything undone, we're ready for sacrifice
Reach out your hand, you'll be the winner
Let's try to catch the caravan of lies
If you stay so blind, you'll be the sinner
We have to change to be born again
Reach out your hand, you'll be the winner
We have to change to be born again
3. No more Disguise
They tell me what's wrong and what's right
They tell me to stop and to hide
They know everything better than me
Even much better than me
They think they're so clever and smart
They don't care to break my heart
They'd better take one last look
Before I disappear
I like to fly
Higher and higher
No more disguise
Escape from hellfire
Oh, I'll never forget what you've done to me
They injure my passion and pride
Which passes on painful delight
The trail I tread left or right
Too far away from their own way
What can't you give me a chance?
No reason to misjudge my competence
The goal which I personally strive for
Wouldn't impress you at all
I like to fly
Higher and higher
No more disguise
Escape from hellfire
Oh, I'll never forget what you've done to me
SOLO
I like to fly
Higher and higher
No more disguise
Escape from hellfire
I like to fly
Higher and higher
No more disguise
Oh, oh, I'll never forget what you
Never forget what you did
To me
4. Show me the Way
I know the future will become past
But I will give my very best
To make my life really strong
Ain't no doubt tomorrow has come
Lord, tell me how
Which way I have to go
An answer to my prayers
Before I come home to you
Who knows what tomorrow will bring
Maybe some answers, it's all in the asking
Someday maybe someone will know
Which path the right one's to go
Lord, tell me how
Which way I have to go
An answer to my prayers
Before I come home to you
SOLO
Someday maybe someone will know
Which path the right one's to go
Lord, tell me how
Which way I have to go
An answer to my prayers
Before I come home to you
Lord, tell me how
Which way I have to go
An answer to my prayers
Before I come home to you
5. I Remember
Throught the mists of eternity
I have found you again
The passion in your eyes brought back
The memories of the daybreak of our time
I had never lost my hope
Longing makes me crazy
I missed you really so much
That I almost despaired
Previous times gave us a clue
To find a pact for our love
Now we're not separate anymore
That's what I always wished before
I remember that first time
Green emerald eyes and the sweetest smile
You are the color of my life
I pray I'll never lose you again
Until my final end
We found our way through
Green fields in Summer days
And along stony paths
In Winter's cold
When the shadows are closing in
I showed you how to fly
No one can trim our wings
Or the angels will forever cry
And when you whisper my name
I wish you would never stop
There's no money in the world
That can buy me your precious love
I remember that first time
Green emerald eyes and the sweetest smile
You are the color of my life
I pray I'll never lose you again
Until my final end
SOLO
I remember that first time
Green emerald eyes and the sweetest smile
You are the color of my life
I pray I'll never lose you again
I remember that first time
Green emerald eyes and the sweetest smile
You are the color of my life
I pray I'll never lose you again
Until my final end
Until my final end
Until my final end
6. Dedicated To...?
7. Searching for Solutions
We won't see horizons
Behind the wall of doom
Won't find any guidance
Much too late for illusions
Everything we did with carelessness
Pollution is what we pass on
Don't lay your heads deep down in the ashes
Or float in the stream of vagueness
'Cause we can't hold on, hold on any longer
Or else mankind must die, there'll be no goodbyes
Searching for solutions
See the visions clear
Disaster is heading our way
Oh, we just don't really care
Let stare problems right in the eyes
Our globe needs more than help
Don't lay your heads deep down in the ashes
Or float in the stream of vagueness
'Cause we can't hold on, hold on any longer
Or else mankind must die, there'll be no goodbyes
We're all guilty because of pollution
Acid rain, greenhouse effect, atomic tests
We're not immortal
We don't need the lies of politicians
SOLO
Don't lay your heads deep down in the ashes
Or float in the stream of vagueness
'Cause we can't hold on, hold on any longer
Or else mankind must die, there'll be no goodbyes
'Cause we can't hold on, hold on any longer
Or else mankind must die, there'll be no goodbyes
8. Strange Friend
I saw strange friends dying in vain
Dressed in blood red robes
Only ID-tags will remain
Nobody asks why they fought
Now I'm standing here not alone
In the middle of the battlefield
The smell of blood still in my nose
But my eyes can't see enemies
It's hard to understand
Why do we kill each other, friend
When I look into your eyes
I see myself and cry
Why do our children cry for us
When we children kill
And women rape without any hate
'Cause they tell us "dig your grave"
He softly whispers
They tell us the war is right
We must kill each other on this night
Slaughter friends like animals
There is no way back from Hell
It still angers me when they tell us
We're the only who have that right
Is it luck, a chance or fate
That we stand here still alive
It's hard to understand
Why should I shoot you, friend
When I look into your eyes
I see myself and cry
Why do our children cry for us
When we children kill
And women rape without any hate
'Cause they tell us "dig your grave"
SOLO
It's hard to understand
Why do we kill each other, friend
When I look into your eyes
I see myself and cry
Why do our children cry for us
When we children kill
And women rape without any hate
'Cause they tell us "dig your grave"
He softly whispers
Why do our children cry for us
When we children kill
And women rape without any hate
'Cause they tell us "dig your grave"
He softly whispers
9. Bread of Charity
In your life was no tenderness, oh no
Never a sunrise without fear
Nasty violence is your breakfast
And death will be your holy communion
You learned to fight, you learned to kill
But no one showed you how to cry
Taste the bread of charity
Between Hell and poverty
Which he's fighting through
Where did you come from, where do you wanna go
You brought disaster wherever you went
Now you're gambling with the law
But you don't care anymore
Where have you hidden your soul?
'Cause no one can help you anymore
Taste the bread of charity
Between Hell and poverty
Which he's fighting through
SOLO
Taste the bread of charity
Between Hell and poverty
Which he's fighting through
Taste the bread of charity
Between Hell and poverty
Which he's fighting through
10. The Four Seasons of Life
I gaze into a crystal ball, see an old man cry
Behind misty images, tears in his eyes
He's watching eighty years gone by
Not much left, his time is ticking
The four seasons of life
Mystic hands guiding through dark and light
An adventure you can't deny
As the sun melts the ice
The four seasons of life
The Spring of life was our birth
You can't grow up on your own
Mom showed how to go
Learn from experience very slow
The four seasons of life
Mystic hands guiding through dark and light
An adventure you can't deny
As the sun melts the ice
The four seasons of life
SOLO
Summer has come
Live your life on the road
The rules aren't really clear
Learn to fight for your right
First love is very near
Young and wild in best condition
But you don't have a clue what's left or right
The soft dying Autumn touches everyone
Life can be like a thunderstorm
Somebody won't see the rainbow
Sun and mists
Warm and cold
Good and bad
Love and hate
Black and white
Laugh and cry
Give and take
Peace and war
Live and die
Live and die
SOLO
Winter's coldness is near at hand
Hear voices loud and clear
I look into my glass and
See my wasting skin and wish it had come to pass
My heart had shrunk as thin
But it doesn't and my body fades away
The fifth season brings the darkness
The crystal ball says
"Take yor chance 'cause the end is near"
It's a long way back to earth
Now it's time to lend a hand to life
Don't waste life, don't think twice
The four seasons of life
SOLO
The four seasons of life
Mystic hands guiding through dark and light
An adventure you can't deny
As the sun melts the ice
The four seasons of life
The four seasons of life
