1. The Cellar
In a nice neighborhood under a house
Down in the dark there is horror
None of the neighbors suspected anything
There were no signs of the terror
In the house lived a man just an ordinary man
On the outside just like you and me
But inside boiled a killing spree
Wars were raging in his brain everyday a bit more insane
In the night he drowned in a lake of hate
Accepted in as his God-given fate
Deranged brain perverted mind
Sick thoughts in his head
Deranged brain perverted mind
Sick thoughts in his head
In a nice neighborhood under a house
Down in the dark there is horror
None of the neighbors suspected anything
There were no signs of the terror
In the house lived a man just an ordinary man
On the outside just like you and me
But inside boiled a killing spree
Wars were raging in his brain everyday a bit more insane
In the night he drowned in a lake of hate
Accepted in as his God-given fate
Deranged brain perverted mind
Sick thoughts in his head
Deranged brain perverted mind
Sick thoughts in his head
Terror horror panic and fear
Screams cries moans and tears
Terror horror panic and fear
Screams cries moans and tears
Bodyparts full of blood strewn all over the floor
Guts hanging from the ceiling sculls nailed over the door
Bodyparts full of blood strewn all over the floor
Guts hanging from the ceiling sculls nailed over the door
In a nice neighborhood under a house
Down in the dark there is horror
None of the neighbors suspected anything
There were no signs of the terror
Deranged brain perverted mind
Sick thoughts in his head
Deranged brain perverted mind
Sick thoughts in his head
One day he went to the store with blood on his hands
As they caught he was smiling not giving any explanation
One day he went to the store with blood on his hands
As they caught he was smiling not giving any explanation
On the chair sits a man just an ordinary man
On the outside just like you and med
But inside boils a killing spree
Very soon they will fry his brain ending his perverted reign
He'll end up in a lake of hate
Accepting it as his God-given fate
2. Close Encounter
Drifting through the endless universe
Billions of stars deafening silence
Not tolerating any reverse
No turning back always forward
The prime directive must be carried out
No questions asked no questions needed
Eliminating all that's imperfect
Having no conscience and no regrets
I am the answer I am perfection
I am the answer I am perfection
I am the answer I am perfection
I am the answer I am perfection
Encountering an unknown lifeform
Interesting race but still imperfect
Preparing to wipe the all out
But suddenly receiving new input
One of the creatures is the creator
He is the father I am his work
Created by an inferior being
Contradiction it can not be
What is this? This is unheard of!
I have lived in a dream
I am perfect yet I am not
Confusion rushing through my circuits
If this being has built me
I am as feeble as him
I am a failure I am not perfect
I am a failure I am not perfect
Encountered an unknown lifeform
Interesting race but still imperfect
Prepared myself to wipe them all out
But suddenly I received new input
One of the creatures is the creator
He is the father I am his work
Created by an inferior being
Contradiction I have to die
3. Slave One
Waiting in the shadows I stand with my gun in my hand
Patience in the end I know they are mine
Catching noone can escape from my powerful grip
Shackles now that they're caught the bounty's mine
Loading the precious cargo into my ship
Flying to the person who's paid to get my prey
Presenting the merchandise having no emotions
Receiving the money I earned fair and square
I will find you I will catch you
Terror fear I am near
Abandon hope your neck my rope
Terror fear I am near
Abandon hope your neck my rope
Waiting in the shadows I stand with my gun in my hand
Patience in the end I know they are mine
Catching noone can escape from my powerful grip
Shackles now that they're caught the bounty's mine
Loading the precious cargo into my ship
Flying to the person who's paid to get my prey
Presenting the merchandise having no emotions
Receiving the money I earned fair and square
No, no emotions haunt my mind when I sleep
I have no feelings it doesn't matter how much they weep
Having worked for ages in this business I'm the best
I won't retire only when I'm dead I will rest
(Lead - Chris)
Waiting in the shadows I stand with my gun in my hand

Catching noone can escape from my powerful grip
Shackles now that they're caught the bounty's mine
Loading the precious cargo into my ship
Flying to the person who's paid to get my prey
Presenting the merchandise having no emotions
Receiving the money I earned fair and square
4. The Bellfounder
The sun is rising here comes the new day
The work is calling me I pick up my tools
The bell is harmony the bell is beauty
When it rings it sing and touches my soul
My apprentices bring bricks and sand and clay
We build the mould (in)to which the alloy will flow
Soon high above the ground this beauty will sway
And speak... Oh, what a wonderful sound
(Lead - Mathias)
All over the land my bells are ringing
I can still remember them all
While we work we are singing
And we don't stop until the work is done
My father was a bellfounder as his father before him
And my son is already learning it from me
Every generation passes on the knowledge
How to make a masterpiece of every bell
The bells inscription is:
"I call the living... I mourn for the dead... I break the lightning!"
The bells inscription is:
"I call the living... I mourn for the dead... I break the lightning!"

5. Stigmatized
Born in a laboratory in a not to distand future
No name only a number burnt into his forehead
Kept a slave by his masters doing all the dirty work
No chance to learn how to read or write and think
No parents and no identity one day is like the other
Doing what he's told to do there is no other way
Only a world drained of feelings can produce such a being
And keep him a prisoner throughout his whole life
Who am I?
No parents and no identity one day is like the other
Doing what he's told to do there is no other way
Only a world drained of feelings can produce such a being
And keep him a prisoner throughout his whole life
Who am I?
People looking at him in the streets as if he were a monster
But he doesn't realize it it's always been like that
Growing up in a place with no smiles and no games and no love
Freedom is a word he's never heard equality is an illusion
Life is work hard work and sweat and obedience
For someone who's born in a test-tube
Life is work hard work and sweat and obedience
For someone who's born in a test-tube
People looking at him in the streets as if he were a monster
But he doesn't realize it it's always been like that
Growing up in a place with no smiles and no games and no love
Freedom is a word he's never heard equality is an illusion
Born in a laboratory in a not to distand future
No name only a number burnt into his forehead
Kept a slave by his masters doing all the dirty work
No chance to learn how to read or write and think
I had a dream that I had a mother
A father a home and also a brother
We laughed and we sang all day long
I will never forget that wonderful song
No parents and no identity one day is like the other
Doing what he's told to do there is no other way
Only a world drained of feelings can produce such a being
And keep him a prisoner throughout his whole life
Who am I? Who am I?
(Lead - Chris)
6. Man On The Roof
The sound of shots barking in the afternoon
Bullets raging and wining through the air
The police will be here very soon
To see who's shooting and from where
On a roof in the middle of the city
Stands a man with a gasmask and a rifle
Feeling neither sorrow, hate or pity
Nothing left to long and to sigh for
On a roof in the middle of the city
Stands a man with a gasmask and a rifle
Feeling neither sorrow, hate or pity
Nothing left to long and to sigh for
Two bleeding cops are lying in a fountain
People scared hiding in a stairway
He's like a hawk watching from a mountain
He knows his time is short and that he'll have to pay
People shouting in the street - Man on the roof
A chopper circling in the sky - Man on the roof
A shadow is lurking high above - Man on the roof
His weapon spreading death and fear - Man on the roof
People shouting in the street - Man on the roof
A chopper circling in the sky - Man on the roof
A shadow is lurking high above - Man on the roof
His weapon spreading death and fear - Man on the roof
Two bleeding cops are lying in a fountain
People scared hiding in a stairway
He's like a hawk watching from a mountain
He knows his time is short and that he'll have to pay
Suddenly there's a cop in front of him
Shooting him right into the chest
Falling on his back his sight is getting dim
For him this death was the best
7. Timetraveller
Pressing the button the engine warms up
The timetunnel opens a big roaring hole
Feeding the program vital information
What will it be the future the past?
Travelling - Travelling through time
Searching - Searching for answers
Trying - Trying to understand
Actions - Actions and deeds
Into the vortex the sounds the lights!
Melting together quick sparkling rays
Multicolored ribbons flashing by
Woven together like a carpet of fire
Travelling - Travelling through time
Searching - Searching for answers
Trying - Trying to understand
Actions - Actions and deeds
(Lead - Chris)
Never changing only observing
How things are evolving
Drawing conclusions bringing 'em back
Being progressive

8. 1200
Gleaming steel and roaring engines
Floating forward on the road
Feeling the relaxed having no fear
Shifting to a higher gear
Screaming wheels that burn the street
Black asphalt under my feet
Riding on into the sunset
And then on all through the night
Ride on, ride on, ride on, king of the road
Ride on, ride on, ride on
(Lead - Chris)
(Lead - Mathias)
Riding on just you and me
Riding fast and feeling free
An emotion that slips under the skin
Born to lose, born to lose and live to win
Ride on, ride on, ride on, king of the road
Ride on, ride on, ride on, king of the road
Ride on, ride on, ride on, king of the road
Ride on, ride on, ride on, king of the road
