1. The Law
They ride across the mountains
Over their God-given land
Following their destination
Independent barons
Fight behind their king
With a sword in their hands� back to back
The law
People pray
When they ride into nowhere
One dies for all
Dyin� for glory
This was the law of the sword
And
All die for one
Dyin� for glory
A law that was sold for some gold
They were forced to look straight
Into the eye of the storm
Superior forces were waiting
There was a rear man
A traitor to the nation
The odds were not even anymore
The law
People pray
When they ride into nowhere
One dies for all
Dyin� for glory
This was the law of the sword
And
All die for one
Dyin� for glory
A law that was sold for some gold
Thousands were biting
The dust for some glory
In the blood of their horses they stood
For an unreal solution
For sanctification
An order mandatious divine
The law
People pray
When they ride into nowhere
One dies for all
Dyin� for glory
This was the law of the sword
And
All die for one
Dyin� for glory
A law that was sold for some gold
The law
The law
The law
The law
That was sold for some gold
2. Not Alone
There�ll be times
When we�ll conquer the sky
We�ll fly to every star
As ambassadors
We�ll be a few
Out of a million minds
For the first encounters
We are not alone
They watch us and hear our voices
We are not alone
We have no choice
We can reach
Out for eternity
Where other creatures live
Somewhere in the endless space
We believe
In our holy right
To be the only one
Unique God�s creation
3. Wonder
Emptiness inside my purse
And in my pockets too
Hell, I guess there is a giant-hole
Where all the cash falls through
All I need
All I need�s a wonder
I need a wonder
I need a new microphone
A pair of leather boots
Tell me
How can I play my next metal show
And save me from surrender
Some days I dream
Someone would beam
A giant heap of money straight for me
I need a wonder
Wonder to rescue me
I need a wonder
Wonder to save my soul
I need a wonder
Wonder to save me from a fall
I need a wonder
A wonder to rescue me from fallin�
Millions of guys around the world
Havin� the same dream
Tryin� to live rock �n�roll
And get into the scene
Waitin� months and years to play
In always changing bands
Other guys do serious work
Earn money with their hands
I need a wonder
Wonder to rescue me
I need a wonder
Wonder to save my soul
I need a wonder
Wonder to save me from a fall
I need a wonder
A wonder to rescue me from fallin�
4. Buy or Die
Alice has planned her shopping day
She takes the bus, goes downtown
She�ll have to give all her money away
To buy all the nice things around
See �em on a shopping tour
30 elderly ladies
Blankets and pillows and pills for the brain
Other little somethings
No matter how you pay
Cash or credit
Calculate what you can afford
Before you
Buy or die
Prices can rise every day / every hour
Buy or die
You are forced to consume
Buy or die
Prices can rise for the goods you desire
Buy or die
Feel like Alice in a woolworthland
Housewives run into the store
Rush and run from door to door
Special offers advertised
No matter how you pay
Cash or credit
Calculate what you can afford
Before you
Buy or die
Prices can rise every day / every hour
Buy or die
You are forced to consume
Buy or die
Prices can rise for the goods you desire
Buy or die
Feel like Alice in a woolworthland
Buy or die���
5. Telemania
Pictures creep into your living-room
Glimmering blue light from a screen
Find yourself under the influence
Staring eyes and empty head
You�ve got
Telemania
There is no cure
For your
Telemania
Brains are not insured
Against
Telemania
No. 1
Western world�s disease
20 Channels by remote control
Choice enough without a move
Independence of the cable-net
Satellite upon your roof
You can order
You can buy
You can learn the latest way to die
You�ve got informations
You can learn or pray
So I guess you don�t like what I say :
You�ve got
Telemania
There is no cure
For your
Telemania
Brains are not insured
Against
Telemania
No. 1
Disney Land�s disease
6. Touch the Light
They came down late at night
Like rain over the land
No one knew of their existence
If he read no tales
Caught our minds tied to our brains
With visible chains
When they met the men in grey
The contract had been signed
One day if they cross your way
Don�t believe a word they say
They�re not creatures of the day
Afraid to touch the light
Giving them no chance
To realize their plans
They want to rule the earth
By the fruits of work
You are not allowed to rest
First you have to pass the test
As long as your heart beats in your breast
Touch the light with your hands
You�re the only one
Touch the light with your hands
Save the frozen time
Touch the light with your hands
You�re the only one
Touch the light with your hands
Only you can save the time
Time will stop a certain day
That�s the chance to find a way
Only Mr. Hora knows
How to stop their fights
If you meet the men in grey
Don�t believe a word they say
Touch the light with your hands
You�re the only one
Touch the light with your hands
Save the frozen time
Touch the light with your hands
You�re the only one
Touch the light with your hands
Only you can save the time
Heads will be rollin�
When you touch the flower
They will decay to dust in this hour
One little girl
She can sweep all their power
Aside
Touch the light with your hands
You�re the only one
Touch the light with your hands
Save the frozen time
Touch the light with your hands
You�re the only one
Touch the light with your hands
Only you can save the time
7. Terminal Earth
Our mission is done
And our time has come
All the stars are calling us back
But we can�t leave
Ever again
Our starship won�t start anymore
Never again
Will we see our home
Never again our system
Our bodies have changed
And if we approached
Disintegration would start
Terminal Earth caught in a trap
Now we are caught
Terminal Earth caught in a trap
Can we survive
Terminal Earth caught in a trap
Now we are caught
Now we can save our minds and our hope
Can we survive on
Terminal Earth
We cam to prove
And to research
To tell people all about Earth
We�ve been so sure
We�d leave again
Now we are filled with despair
Forced to deal
With your life and your fears
Of poisoned waters and air
Afraid of death
In a nuclear war
Our journey has come to an end
On Terminal Earth caught in a trap
Now we are caught
Terminal Earth caught in a trap
Can we survive
Terminal Earth caught in a trap
Now we are caught
Now we can save our minds and our hope
Can we survive on
Terminal Earth
8. From the Dust of Ages
We�re surrounded, there�s no escape
Landed on a world, attacked by gods who sent a storm
Now the waters rise so unbelievably
And vulcans spit a holy fire and destroy
Spit it and destroy
We traveled through the time
To spread the human seed
Wherever we�ve been seen
We disappeared in mystery
We came to see how people fight
The Gods who sent eternal night
We�re the last
We came to late to stop the stream of time
Can it be a lack of pride, a lack of honor
Can it be a plan that is divine
Can in be a lack of pride, a lack of honor
Can this be mistakes that are divine
Welcome
Reborn in another dimension
Where unknown colors and noises are bringin� you tension
Welcome
Step through the halls of disaster
Work till you bleed and obey your invisible master
Missin� the moon in the night
Finding yourself for a world of violet light
Welcome home from the dust of ages
Welcome home from the dust of time
We don�t know if we�ll leave some traces
The world that we�ve known disappears
In the dust of time
The world will end with surrender
The civilization�s destroyed
And all things we know will disappear in the end
We live in a mystery world
Welcome home from the dust of ages
Welcome home from the dust of time
We don�t know if we�ll leave some traces
The world that we�ve known disappears
In the dust of time
Atlantis was an island, so the story�s told
Where the Gods melted fire with a storm
Atlantis was a garden, so beautiful divine
Where mankind has been given its first home
So beautiful divine
Atlantis
9. The Challenge
They live in countries
With different names
Their works done by mysterious machines
Burn their resources
Exploit mother earth
the next generation will bleed
Strange is this world
Strange are these folks
So many languages
Expressin� the same
Spirits that borders can�t change
Gigantic walls of ignorance
They built to keep areas clean
Strange world
Strange folks
One more challenge for mankind
A challenge to fight
A challenge to live
To build and create a new world
One more challenge for mankind
A challenge to trust
In their strength to survive
As long as there�s choice to decide
Different uniforms
Different regimes
Colors for honor and pride
Blood is the color
That all people bleed
If some of their leaders decide
10. L.A.D.Y.
Went to a gay-club
Sent by a friend of mine
He knew a little lady
Waitin� for me inside
I said, "Man, don�t be kiddin�!"
I don�t want to change my style
Could not believe my eyes when
I saw who I have found
Lady, tell me what to do
What can I do
Lady, I need a doctor
To help me to cure
My longin� for you
See you later
That�s what she said to me
I could not believe that she gave me her key
See you later
The only fact I know
I can�t let her go
See you later
Like a cat in a lonesome alley
Like a wolf in a midnight town
I�ve been struck down by confusion
Straight here in my heart
