1. Gates to Serenity (Intro)
2. Forever
Forever:
©2005 Serenity / music: Buchberger/Neuhauser / lyrics: Neuhauser
Far away you fly
Your soul is in the sky
There’s nothing left that brings you back to me
You’ve reached out my mind
You’ve lost a painful fight
Now follow him into the underworld
(Bridge:)
I’m sad and down
Tears running down my face
I miss your touch and the sweet taste of your lips
(Chorus:)
I’m waiting every day but I know you’ll never come
Forever your eyes will be closed
The endless fear has gone, after darkness comes the sun
Forever salvation has come
Forever you’ll be gone
Afraid of calling your name
I feel an endless pain
Together we’re strong and full of pride
The snow is falling down
I’ve lost my golden crown
My kingdom is empty, dark and cold
Bridge
Chorus
3. Thriven
Thriven:
©2005 Serenity / music: Hirzinger/Buchberger / lyrics: Hirzinger
I sit here all alone, watch the sun go down leaving fiery ranges
My soul is set aflame, the daily fight is on, still pain ain’t gone
A thriving land is what I see
No virgin wilderness could be
A home to us, some fertile ground is all we’re asking for
We give our pain, twice our blood
One with the soil, one with the gods
Strongest faith is needed here, so fail the weak
(Chorus:)
Work to live
Another tear, another bleeding
Every day another price to pay
I pay and bleed
Therefor I consider leaving
But this land forces me to stay
Creating
The land has changed, the tribe has too
It’s new gained wealth means loss of faith
That formed life, that was a guide to generations
Although the mountains still stand strong
The threat is here, it’s been too long
We haven’t thought this land could wither, could wither slowly
Chorus
Creating thriven land
Nothing will be the same, can we build this land again
Creating thriven land
Shining like a star, shining bright so far …
(Chorus:)
Work to live
Another tear, another bleeding
Every day another price to pay
I pay and bleed
Therefor I consider leaving
But this land forces me to stay
Infinite greed
Another heart, a different beating
That left the anguish of the past behind
Beloved lands
Now upon them vultures feeding
Not even one worth to be elder’s heir
Creating
4. Engraved Within
Engraved Within:
©2005 Serenity / music: Buchberger/Neuhauser / lyrics: Neuhauser/Hirzinger
I wake you softly
Deep in your dreams lying here alone
Waiting for another day
Here I go now
Just find my choice in every word you say
Following the game we play
(Bridge:)
Time stands still when you touch my face again
The broken clouds become complete
We will meet again
(Chorus:)
Not only the image has remained, it’s carved within my soul
There’s a fire in you that glows just somewhere in the dark
A guiding light that will not cease until my dying day
A living shadow with your face engraved in lines of light
Through times you had been
Nothing less than the sense of life to me
And some things never change
Still you are here
From somewhere deep inside you speak to me
Using words that tear my heart
Bridge
Chorus
5. Journey's End
Engraved Within:
©2005 Serenity / music: Buchberger/Neuhauser / lyrics: Neuhauser/Hirzinger
I wake you softly
Deep in your dreams lying here alone
Waiting for another day
Here I go now
Just find my choice in every word you say
Following the game we play
(Bridge:)
Time stands still when you touch my face again
The broken clouds become complete
We will meet again
(Chorus:)
Not only the image has remained, it’s carved within my soul
There’s a fire in you that glows just somewhere in the dark
A guiding light that will not cease until my dying day
A living shadow with your face engraved in lines of light
Through times you had been
Nothing less than the sense of life to me
And some things never change
Still you are here
From somewhere deep inside you speak to me
Using words that tear my heart
Bridge
Chorus
6. Dead Man Walking
Dead Man Walking:
©2005 Serenity / music: Anker/Hirzinger / lyrics: Anker
Good morning friend, today is the day
That sleepless night is now away
The tower bells toll majestically, strangle my fear
Cold hands on my neck
(Bridge:)
Time’s running out, running low
I can feel the pain
(Chorus:)
Help me to die my good old friend
I won’t survive in this cold world
I need to know
Help me to die
No one is there
Solo
I raise my head towards the threatened sky
Thank you my friend for guiding my life
I am between hope and despair
I think today is a good day to die
Bridge
Chorus
Now it’s over
Now it’s done
No chance to repent all my lies
In my memories I can see the signs
The sign of pain and agony
The sign of might and glory
Bridge
Chorus
7. Guiding Light
Guiding Light:
©2005 Serenity / music: Buchberger/Hirzinger / lyrics: Neuhauser
I see the questions in your eyes
No burning fire, no glistening light is shining
Wake up from your dreams, just start your life
Don’t look back again, decades of time
Find out the reasons, why are you down?
Is there an answer, where safety can be found?
I’ll help you searching, give you my hands
It’s much too easy to be sucked into the bag of lies
I can hear you crawling
I can see your fall to your death
Afraid of the emptiness
I can hear you crawling
I can see you in different worlds
(Chorus:)
An empty shadow is rising
The silence awakes me
A terrible underworld is coming down to me
Destroying my sight
Against my will a bright shining guiding light
Is calling my name, is leading my life
But it never will win
Your so-called friends are now away
I am the only one who wants to stay
Your flesh is weak, your mind is grey
I am the only one who wants to stay
I can hear you crawling
I can see your fall to your death
Afraid of the emptiness
Chorus
