1. ...Of Silence
It truly makes the most beautiful music
Everything it has to give
It's everywhere hiding the listener
Without it I could not live
. . . Silence.
2. Weballergy
We only have one candle
To burn down to the handle
No matter what they say
If you live like a man, You live in tales you tell
To rage and run like a fool
You need no brain, your best tool
Stay put and as they say
Live like a man, the only way you can
You let the phone line bring it home to you
The life, the lies, the dreams
You cannot see the real thing underneath
- Naked truth revealed
You type your name on one row
To get dosed-up tomorrow
You live in a CC dream, with your machine
It's your goal supreme
You think you have it all now
The wisdom, power, know-how
Can't even think you're wrong
This is the way the brain of a male is made
You let the phone line bring it home to you
The life, the lies, the dreams
You cannot see the real thing underneath
- Naked truth revealed
If you live, you will die
You won't live forever stuck in time
Ebb and flow, push and tow
You must keep it real to find her
You let the phone line bring it home to you
The life, the lies, the dreams
Can't even see the real thing underneath
- Naked truth revealed
If you live, you will die
You won't live forever stuck in time
Ebb and flow, push and tow
You must keep it real to find her
Repeat Chorus
3. 8th Commandment
All those lies suit you. They are custom made to drive
you out of reality. Lies are true for you. You know, what
you do is reaching a point of insanity.
When you wake from your dream you know what is true?
Ring of bell inside your head is playing with your mind
Remember to pray, and what the Bible says and you will
live thru eternity You haven't heard of this?
There is something you missed - it will cost you so heavily.
You must sleep in the stinking bed that you have made
When you're down where you belong hear what they say.
Stay for a while, stay forever. Sing for the times you are
bound to betray. Run for your life, run forever, your eyes
tell a lie and the liar must always die.
When you're done with him, you know where you have
been, He will treat us all equally.
Can you feel the fire burning
You must sleep in the stinking bed that you have made.
When you're down where you belong hear what they say.
Stay for a while, stay forever. Sing for the times you are
bound to betray. Run for your life, run forever, your eyes
tell a lie and the liar must die.
4. FullMoon
Sitting on a corner all alone,
staring from the bottom of his soul,
watching the night come in from the window
It'll all collapse tonight, the fullmoon is here again
In sickness and in health, understanding so demanding
It has no name, there's one for every season
Makes him insane to know
Running away from it all
"I'll be safe in the cornfields", he thinks Hunted by his own,
again he feels the moon rising on the sky
Find a barn which to sleep in, but can he hide anymore
Someones at the door, understanding too demanding
Can this be wrong, it's love that is not ending
Makes him insane again
She should not lock the open door
(run away run away, run way)
Fullmoon is on the sky and He's not a man anymore
She sees the change in Him but can't
(run away run away, run away)
See what beccame out of her man... Fullmoon
Swimming across the bay,
the nite is gray, so calm today
She doesn't wanna wait.
"We've gotta make the love complete tonight..."
In the mist of the morning he cannot fight anymore
Thousands moon or more, he's been howling
Knock on the door, and scream that is soon ending
Mess on the floor again...
She should not lock the open door
(run away run away, run away)
Fullmoon is on the sky and he's not a man anymore
We see the change in him but can't
(run away run away, run away)
See what became out of her darling man
See what became out of that man
5. Ain't Your Fairytale
The ones who seek justice
Will pray for it all their lives
The can and they will skin us
Oh, one day
Oh, can you hear their cries?
As far as the men can run from us
We're following the trail of blood
So hunt, my young ones...
I have always known the storm would come
Listen now my young ones
This is not a story I tell
Of midnight, moon and sun
Are you ready to walk the forbidden road?
There again what we tried to forget?
(Forget) the dark and I'll take over you
We had a common past, an ancient bond
That people once broweld
We would only take what we need,
They would harvest our wheat
But they hunted us all
We ended the lives of their
past far ten lifetimes ago
(in hopes of healing the soul)
But the war still went on
Praying for the moon, hiding for the day
These might be our last times
I am gonna see you taken away
Heading for the dawn of our way of life
You're welcome to give it your best try
Look me in the eyes of wolf and
This ain't your fairytale
It took so many years to teach them
How to cry wolf
We made the people serve the purpose
Those ignorant fools (I am a fool!)
It's not what's been done
use something you've learned
I've learned from the ones above you
Fear is your deepest wisdom
For these last days
Praying for the moon, hiding for the day
These might be our last times
I am gonna see you taken away
Heading for the dawn of our way of life
You're welcome to give it your best try
Look me in the eyes of wolf and
This ain't your fairytale
The ones who seek justice
Will pray for it all their lives
They can and they will skin us
Oh, one day...
Oh, can you hear their cries?
As far as the men can run from us
We're following the trail of blood
So hunt, my young ones
The bad, they'll always finish bad
On your last day, remember
We never cried
It does not exist for us
They don't fear the wolf,
But the wild within
No glory to the way this must end
This is the story I told
I'm falling before you
Preying for the moon, hiding for the day
These might be our last times
I am gonna see you taken away
Heading for the dawn of our way of life
You're welcome to give it your best try
Look me in the eyes of wolf and
This ain't your fairytale
The ones who seek justice
Will pray for it all their lives
They can and they will skin us
Oh, one day...
Oh, can you hear their cries?
(Can you hear their cries?)
As far as the men can run from us
We're following the trail of blood
So hunt, my young ones
The bad, they'll always finish bad
6. UnOpened
Another misspelled rhyme
written in the book of time
In one page I've spent all my life
Ink ain't even dry. I've been living in a lie?
How could I trust in someone of your kind?
And I got today another letter in the mail
I can't read it here, not today
And when years go by
the unopened letter meets my eye
I'm older and wiser, but still afraid
What if I read it and it is - full of love
How can I face it if I am wrong
Do you feel? Do you care about me?
Did you wait and love all this time?
I am here, would you come and find me
does your writing guide me thru this all
What if I'll read it and it is - full of love
What if you'll tell me that I am wrong
Do you feel? Do you care about me?
Did you wait and love all this time?
I am here, would you come and find me
does your writing guide me thru this all
7. Abandoned, Pleased, Brainwashed, Exploited
Wake up my child, hope is here.
With the vengeance, we have no time to bleed.
My only world filled with fear.
I never saw the sower of the seed.
Where is the world we had,
Who can ever save you and your little lives.
A child guides a child guided child.
A child is never guilty. But you should not run free...
The grave is open, let us pray without remorse.
Empty the cradle with fire for them once again.
Why not look through your fingers what they've done.
Your own blood will clean the blood, for now the glory days are gone....
Time has come for everyone, to think what we have done.
Open your eyes and see, it's not a dream.
You aim for a common goal, you are one with your foe.
If only we could wake up soon and scream.
Abandoned, pleased, brainwashed, exploited, madness has a reason.
Throw money at the problem and it will remain.
Your life has no value for them, "violate me and this never ends.
My children will then hate you too."
The grave is open, let us pray without remorse.
Empty the cradle with fire for them once again, tonight.
Why not look through your fingers what they've done.
Your own blood will clean the blood, for now the glory days are gone....
Now, when it seems that we have nothing to believe in.
Maybe we should be waiting for the rock to come.
For our children soon have nothing they should learn.
The grave is open, let us pray without remorse.
Empty the cradle with fire for them once again.
Why not look through your fingers what they've done.
Your own blood will clean the blood, for now the glory days are gone....
Time has come for everyone, to think what we have done.
Open your eyes and see, it's not a dream.
You aim for a common goal, you are one with your foe.
If only we could wake up soon and scream.
Time has come for everyone, to think what we have done.
Open your eyes and see, it's not a dream.
You aim for a common goal, you are one with your foe.
If only we could wake up soon and scream.
8. Don't Say a Word (Edit Version)
I am the voice that cant be found
The lamp that's meant to fade away
(I let go of the record)
Who's side im choking on this life?
I think I tollerate your hate
As long as you're afraid
All I wanted was to be with you
( And suffer every day)
Under the moon I hold a Way
for a promise torn
Mortality wound, that feeling shelterred me
Once again, my shadow will enter your life
look I led you way down the night
Mother always said:
My son, do the noble thing
You have to finish what you started
No matter what, now sit watch and learn
It is not how long you live
And what your moral say
Cant keep your part of the deal
So don't say a word
Don't Say A Word
It wont be long now love,
Black mist, I slowly feel the hate
I place the candle on your chest
The path of night has manifest
I never wanted us to end
I feel this scattered dying phase
It wasnt me who ran away
You made me stray
Open your blue eyes
Tell me that you love me whore
Make me believe it, oh I know you lie
Broke the vow I thought you made my angel lie
Settling the score
Think past the twilight
Mother always said:
My son, do the noble thing
You have to finish what you started
No matter what, now sit watch and learn
It is not how long you live
And what your moral say
Cant keep your part of the deal
So don't say a word
Don't Say A Word
I'm very blind
you struggle on, but my heart is about to end
I somehow slide sometimes.
It doesn't go the way it was meant.
Though you never were a believer, (yet)
I will purify you.
You read the book now, (goodbye)
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Closing your eyes, don't ever say you love me, whore
You never mean't the word, I know you lied
When there is life there is dispair you taught me, now
I see your alive this night
I promise you the end before the first light arrives
Mother always said:
My son, do the noble thing
You have to finish what you started
No matter what, now sit watch and learn
It is not how long you live
And what your moral say
Cant keep your part of the deal
So don't say a word
Don't Say A Word
9. Victoria's Secret
The light escapes her room tonight.
Every little moment tells her, now it's time,.
Opening a new scar, closing the wounds with a knife.
Now more crying in the lanterns light...
Leave with the first light, go when you still see the moon.
Run for the sunlight, gate is now open for you.
Dancing on the path and singing now you got away.
You can reach the goals that you have set from now on , every day.
There is no way you would go back now, oh no, those days are past.
Life is waiting for the one who loves to live, and it is not a secret...
The Shades of darkness filled her life.
In every single corner you can not turn right.
Night could pass for a day, in her lack of faith, she let it all fade away.
Once more, a cry in the lanterns light...
Lost in the sunlight, leave, you will not see the moon.
Walk for the first time, no one has waited for you...
Dancing on the path and singing now you got away.
You can reach the goals that you have set from now on, every day.
There is no way you would go back now, oh no, those days are past.
Life is waiting for the one who loves to live, and it is not a secret...
Dancing on the path and singing now you got away.
You can reach the goals that you have set from now on, every day.
There is no way you would go back now, oh no, those days are past.
Life's there for the ones who love to live and take it all, for it is free...
Dancing on the path and singing now you got away.
You can reach the goals that you have set from now on, every day.
There is no way you would go back now, oh no, those days are past.
Life is waiting for the one who loves to live, and it is not a secret...
10. Blank File
It is your new best friend, new eye in your private den
And you can find the world inside it every day
They know what you did today, hear everything you say
And when they send you mail,
they know where you will go sometime next day
They know your life, they have a file about you
They built your life, so they...
Know what you like and know what you yearn
but they don't know a thing about me
I'm not that easy, I'm blank file in their memory
Caught in the web again, inside your private den
Where you can go to moon
or meet some people you will never see
You are a file in there, money in an open fair
You're a slave among the slaves, waiting for Y2K with a fear
They know your life, they have a file about you
They built your life, so they...
Know what you like and know what you yearn
but they don't know a thing about me
I'm not that easy, I'm blank file in their memory
Still they try to take over, control my life,
but no one can do it but me
I'm not that easey, I'm blank file in their memory
Know what you like and know what you yearn
but they don't know a thing about me
I'm not that easy, I'm blank file in their memory
I am waiting, hoping and praying
to see - how this - will end - when they go down
How can it be, that you cannot see
what they are doing with thee
You are a life, new file in their memory, now they
Know what you like and know what you yearn
but they don't know a thing about me
I'm not that easy, I'm blank file in their memory
How can it be, that you cannot see
what they are doing with thee
spending your time, living your life
inside their machines there is one empty file, it is me
11. My Land
My own land has closed ots gates on me
All alone in world, it's scaring me
I am here to prove you wrong
I'm accused of something I live for
In my dreamland, there's some who understands
A friendly soul, trusting life in my hands
Yes, I gave it all I can
Now it's invaded by a stranger
Keep in mind what you have heard today
You might find that you're not so brave
Are you man enough, carry the load all alone
When other have your own
My old land is but a pile of sand
Cold and bare but something still is there
I am here to claim my land
You can't keep me away forever
Keep in mind what you have heard today
You might find that you're not so brave
Are you man enough, carry the load all alone
When other have your own
I'm a true patriot, you are my land,
you have my soul, you have all I had
Now I am here, and I want it all back
In my dreams, I climb the hills I see
and let a gentle breeze lead me to
plains I once have seen and
Clear blue sky, I swim in lakes I find
I build a house right there
that you can't take away
I am here to claim my land
you can't keep me away, forever, ever
Keep in mind what you have heard today
You might find that you're not so brave
Are you man enough, carry the load all alone
When other have your own
12. Black Sheep
In love with the maiden, The flower of winter
Lowbrow children, in grove of the inland
How many times heart´s gone thru the grinder
wherever you look there´s a painful reminder
Singing a love song, words of a stranger
The howling miller, never to face her
Temple of the evil, Temple of the weak
no one knows how bad he feels
Late-night innuendo, tempetation of the key
"Live with the Blacksheep, live with me"
Insanity, blessing for those born to hate you
Burned by the embers of love, it is so cruel
Howling the night, for sun of the midnight
Serving the people, condemned you in the eternal night
of the lost song, words of the stranger
The howling miller, never to face her
chorus
13. Wolf & Raven
Grant me a wish, my master
Take heed of me
I have been loyal servant
Heartfelt, humble
Gave up - what belongs to me
Gave up my greed
My self-examination
Made me see, to be me
I am now like Judas, done
Ashamed of what I´ve become
Fear for life I wear as a ring
To bask in your favor, I will kill the king
You say I am unbreakable
I cannot die,
I know, but anyway
The words, they maim me
Grant me a wish, my master
Compassion, please
I´d like be a human
...maybe one day
I am now like Judas, done
Ashamed of what I´ve become
Fear of life I wear as a ring
To bask in your favor, I will kill the king
Entreaty: let me go
Master, I hate you so
How can I sleep my nights
When my whole being cries
I tried to be like everyone
Open my soul
But what I had to give
Resulted loathing
Enchanted by the power
Licked by the grace
One beautiful black flower
The end of the human race
I will
with pride now face my faith
King and Queen now lie in state
This ring I wear is a powerful thing
I bask in your favor, I have killed the king
Entreaty: let me go
Master, I hate you so
How can I sleep my nights
When my whole being cries
I had a nightmare
The Wolf eating The Raven
Entrails of life on my plate
And I ate ´em..
Interested in what I see
Try that Rorcharch test on me
Have you seen the beauty of the
Enticing beast
Entreaty: let me go
Master, I hate you so
I cannot sleep my nights
When my whole being cries
14. San Sebastian (Original Version)
could see my life, short film passing my eyes
I tried to look away from her, as always I just tried
Sweetness in her eyes, gone thru one million miles
How could I turn my back on her, the sweetest thing alive
I was eager, day time dreamer, waiting time when I\'d come alive
Sun of San Sebastian eighteen years young today
She\'s all I ever dreamed, but now my skies are turning gray
It was good I got to know her well, because it made me see
That the sun of San Sebastian is just too hot for me
Look what I have done to my San Sebastian
I wasted all my childhood dreams by staring at sun
Back in time with a dream of mine
I try to find my way back to life
Burning fever, night time screamer, waiting time when I\'d come alive
Sun of San Sebastian oh why I cannot stay
She\'s all I ever dreamed, but now my skies are turning gray
It was good I got to know her well, because it made me see
That the sun of San Sebastian Is just too hot for me
Every single day, for the rest of my way
I live without my love, my God, I have to stay in shade
When I\'m old and gray, I remember that day
When she came, that perfect dame and she blew me away
I was eager, day time dreamer, waiting time when I\'d come alive
Oo-oo...
Was it good I got to know her well although it made me see
That the sun of San Sebastian is way too hot for me?
Oo-oo..
Now I live my life in shades and I am married to the moon
And the sun of San Sebastian is warming someone new
15. The Cage
A lifetime ago, with frozen eyes they closed the door.
Suddenly I realized what locks are for. No trusting them anymore, lights - are - out.
Empty the stare, innocent and unaware, dragged out from my home ,my lair.
Earmarked me, hurt me, burned me.
The walls around me, eyes surround me, feed my fear again.
I must be freed or I will die before the harvest moon, my friend.
I do not have another year in me, you've gotta set me free.
The dream is alive, I can run up the hills every night,
go around and see another side of the tree.
Freedom has a meaning for me, howl with me.
Fear in the dark, I advice you. Can't see the eyes, the grow behind you....
It's my song they now sing to you.
You stand no chance....
They'll kill for me, steal back my freedom, set me free, it's my minions vs. thee.
Fiery the vengeance, hate will drain me.
The walls around me, eyes surround me, feed my fear again.
I must be freed or I will die before the harvest moon, my friend.
I do not have another year in me, you've gotta set me free.
The dream is alive, I can run up the hills every night,
go around and see another side of the tree.
All I want is to be unlamed and free, howl and (dream).
The dream is alive, with the moon on the hills every night,
run around and see another side of the dream.
Freedom has a meaning for me, you can't lame me...
You will remember the day you crossed my path.
leave me without a guard and you feel my wrath.
What you have done to me has made me bitter and cruel.
I'll see that all the hate you spread returns to you, you, back to you...
The walls around me, eyes surround me, feed my fear again.
I must be freed or I will die before the harvest moon, my friend.
I do not have another year in me, you've gotta set me free.
The dream is alive, I can run up the hills every night,
go around and see another side of the tree.
All I want is to be unlamed and free, howl and (dream).
The dream is alive, with the moon on the hills every night,
run around and see another side of the dream.
Freedom has a meaning for me, you can't lame me...
The dream is alive, I can run up the hills every night,
go around and see another side of the tree.
All I want is to be unlamed and free, howl and (dream).
The dream is alive, with the moon on the hills every night,
run around and see another side of the dream.
Freedom has a meaning for me..
16. The End of This Chapter
Chapter One
I gave you my time
I gave you my whole life
I gave you my love, every dime
They told me it was... a crime
Do you remember?
Or did it all go in vain...
Chapter Two
I looked in the light, I sat in your coalmine
The promise they made, I should keep?
Make sure that we would never meet
I can´t remember
The promise I made so deep
Tell me that past times won´t die...
Tell me that old lies are alive
Chapter Three
Across darkened skies, I travelled without a light
I sank in the well of my mind
Too deep, never to be found
I can´t remember...
How could you be so vain...
Tell me that past times won´t die...
Tell me that old lies are alive
Love that expired too long time ago
Kills me, it thrills me...
Chapter Four
You have new love and
It looks good on you
I have never wished you dead, yet.
You can now have all the things I could never give to you
Look out the window " cest ´moi"...
Chapter Five
I´m sorry, I am here
I´m not sure if it should bring you fear
I whisper in your ear
Why is he here?
Chapter six
While you are sleeping, I steal your ear ring
Light you one candle, this anger I handle
They said I won´t find you, but now I´m beside you
I´m not all that stable
You should know by know that you are mine...
Tell me that past times won´t die... Tell me that old lies are alive
I tell you that past times won´t die...
I tell you that old lies are alive
Love due to expire too long time ago
Kills me, it will kill you...too
