1. One Day(The Descision)
When we found the band we were looking forward to
a contract, we were afraid of getting anonymous
and all we wanted was golden celebrations.
But hard work isn´t all to have success in this dirty business between politics and prostitution.
Girl don´t be sad I´ve got to go this way I´ve
got a message to tell the people
Don´t rack your head! It takes three years to
get to the top, so believe me when I say :
Girl, I beg your pardon! You will see, I say
one day in Eden´s garden You should trust in me!
The next two years we toured around the world to
make the people clap their hands like 1000 other
bands. The distance let our love grow and we
telephoned twice a day, You said You felt so
lonely, You said You felt so lonely but I promised You the day will come.
Girl, I beg your pardon! ...
Lonely was the word I didn´t react to and now
I have to accept of what she´d done to me
what she´d done to me, she was running free
so what should I do?
Running free
Oh why?
She made the decision of my life, she made me
write the songs I couldn´t write without a lonely
heart. Lonely are the ways to the end.
Girl, I beg your pardon, don´t you know I did it
all for you. So if there is another chance,
another way for us, then let me know!
2. Acheron
Dear friends, now I´m gone, I´m layin´ in my grave
my body´s cold, my flesh is where it´s been bount
in darkness I never felt the sin
so my soul was running down
In the Acheron, in the Acheron stream,
I know we´re going down in the Acheron
we´re lost angels in the Acheron,
I know we´re going down
But deep inside I felt there´s something still
alive. It filled my chest and brain, it takes control.
a stream is running down the depth
and it attracts our souls
In the Acheron, ...
Lost in the Acheron, stream of dead souls
In the Acheron, ...
3. Extasy
The voice is wakin´ me up ev´ry morning it´s
telling strange things of a strange world. Hear
from the missions and from the different visions
none cares if I say that it´s not o.k.. The work is
stressing, the time is passing by, I think my expectations were much too big, I ´m looking forward, forward to friday but when it comes I´m much too tired
to win, to loose, to let the instinct out
My only wish...
Extasy, I wanna live, I wanna give
Extasy, I want out to give a loose to my brain
I want extasy ev´ryday
"Uh, what a night", said the captain of the flight,
his voice is 16 bit digital saved, but you don´t care, say it´s only a film on your 18 bit, old telly. You´re getting weaker, the time is running by, I think you only keep to your dream
You´re looking forward, forward to friday, but when it comes you´re too much tired
to win, to loose, to fight, to choose, to ´joy your damned life, to see the light, to let the instinct out.
Extasy...
4. Dexterity of Disguise
What is up, what is drummin´ to your mind ev´ry day
radio, tv-stations and the news in a censored way.
It´s gettin´ late and human race will have no chance.
No one asks for their intention to oppress the fear as self-defence.
Oh yeah, all dreams are taken from their lies,
no risk and confusion will be realised.
Got no place left to hide, you believe in their lies
Dexterity of disguise
don´t you see how the leaders prepare us for the end of the world,
Dexterity of disguise
Try to watch back into the mirror of a thousand million lies. One world of fear and dictatorship
linked by dexterity of disguise.
In our days nobody knows who´ll be stricken by the next persecution, people right in desert storm is all we see and all we learned.
Information..Informatiorest..Manipulation
Got no place...
Hello, this is Wonder Mike again
Welcome to the Saturday evening show, I hope you´re feelin´fine, the sun is shinin´ bright and I know
we´re gonna have a good good good time, but first let´s hear some music of the world.
Just dexterity of disguise
Just dexterity of disguise
5. Resolution in a Gale
Listen to the words of a dying man hurt by
flashing steel
he cursed the odds, the warrior gods down in the
battlefield.
He was one of the thousand soldiers running to the hills
fear no death but nevertheless the most had been killed.
When the battle corruption begins,
live or die, another day
he was recruited without to show fight many years ago
he did his task, he wasn´t asked if he could kill a foe.
face to face with destiny
they are damned until the end of time.
Ohh... Resolution in a gale
can´t prevail when you listen to a false messiah
Ohh... Resolution in a gale
never fail when you follow your own desire
Loathing and disgust smoldered in his mind against their spreading wings
it was his fate to seed their hate to harvest only sin.
feeling guilty ´bout his vicious deeds never could
recall
the things he´d done he´d nothing won the gods let him fall
Ohh... Resolution in a gale ...
6. Illusions of an Eerie Circle
Chapter I
Strange cries surrounding me in the midnight
silence, enchain me in a common way.
Ancient eyes intangible in a mental distance
staring through the emptiness of my room
Oh no, thse visions are chasing me
when will they ever let me be free
what does it mean, what do they want, why are they calling me?
I am you ´cause on is two!
Someone exercise me with illusions of an eerie
circle to be deceived by twisted mind
none hear my cries in the night.
I can hear the shadows laughing ´bout me
in the corner of silence
Oh why I can´t face you in the light?
Captured within millions of condensed shadows
living beyond the human pain.
The nature of my fear is shown in a giant mirror
reflecting the real face of my other me
Oh no, these visions...
Chapter II
If you wonder that you can´t see me don´t be silly we´re close together, do you trust in me?
Be quiet! I show us in true colours. We´re two in
one, but I, I am the leader I told you and remember
I am you ´cause one is two!
Oh no there´s only room for one,
nothing you will do until the day is done
Hey, listen, I can hear the fear in your voice,
until the day is done? Ha,ha... but in darkness
you will be mine, you´re going under in a ocean
of cold sweat, how does it feel not to be alone
in your bed? Ha, ha, ha...
Oh no, Oh no I can´t stand these horrible nightmares
he send my mind on a trip
Oh no, I can´t these horrible nightmares
I try to escape...but where?
Chapter III
Oh no, these visions are chasing me, when will they ever let me free?...oh no...
nurse: "and this is Mr.Seek, doctor,"
doc: "Why he´s looking so weak?"
nurse: "He hasn´t woken up yet, doctor."
doc: " It seems, he´s not alone in his dreams!"
Ha, ha, ha...did you wonder that you can´t see me?
don´t be silly, we´re close together...
doc: "How long he´s already been here?"
nurse: "I guess, it´s his third year, doctor."
doc: "Well, it looks like he´ll accept it."
nurse: " It seems, he´s not alone in his dream! "
Oh no, there´s only room for one,
I can´t stand these horrible nightmares...
Five years later the doctor let him go back to the
civilization. He learned to live but was it just a part of his life? Is he alright now?
Go away, leave me alone / Never
There´s only room for one/ Exactly
You´ll never be the winner/ I´m the winner
Or is it me, the looser / Yeah!
Oh, I think I´m going mad / You´re going mad
Goddamned leave me alone / No
The´s only room for one / No
Go away! But not with me!
Chapter IV
Strange cries surrounding me ...
Hey, wake up my dear !
7. Veterans of the Psychic Wars
by Blue Öyster Cult
You see me now, a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
I´ve been living on the edge so long
Where the winds of limbo roar and I´m young enough
to look at, and far too old to see
All the scars are on the inside and I´m not sure if
there´s anything left of me.
Don´t let these shakes go on
It´s time we had a break from it
It´s time we had some leave
We´ve been living in the flames
We´ve been eating up our brains
Oh, please don´t let these shakes go on
You ask me why I´m weary, why I can´t speak to you
You blame me for my silence, say it´s time I changed and grew. But the war´s still going on dear, and there´s no end that I know and I can´t say if we´re ever, ever gonna be free
Don´t let these shakes go on
You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
My energy is spend as last and my armor is destroyed
I have used up all my weapons and I´m helpless and bereaved, wounds are all I´m made of and did I hear you say that this is victory?
Don´t let these shakes go on
8. When The Sun Goes Down
He was born in a backstreet near by the docks
wrapped in dirty cloth, protected by sticky fog
He has got no name and nameless he will be
his mother was a bitch, his father he has never seen
The milky stars in the sky will take your mind away
you have to see what´s reality, so take a ride with me
When the sun goes down
watch the kids they´re running wild, they are
almost seventeen
everyone is employed, a future they cannot see
Face the old man in the dark the time is passing by
no one cares about his life, no one is asking why
The milky stars in the sky...
He was born in a backstreet near by the docks
wrapped in dirty cloth protected by sticky fog
He has got no name and nameless he will be
his mother was a bitch, his father he never has seen
The milky stars in the sky...
When the sun goes down
