1. The Sinister Child
In those days of the Roman emperor
Issued a decree that a census should be taken of the world
Joseph was one of the labourers
With Mary he went to Bethlehem, the town of David
You have something heard
While they were there, a child was born
The mother wrapped him in some clothes
And placed him in a manger by the inn
While they were there, a child was born
The shepherds watched their flocks at night
The Lords appeared and they were terrified
While they were there a child was born
Don’t be afraid, he‘s in the world, he’s born to you
The sinister child
The shepherds straight went to Bethlehem
To find the place to glorify and serve the child
And many were with them
Three kings had heard of the mystery
They were overjoyed to find him there
The worshiped him and praised their destiny
And a star was shining bright
The tidings spread out through the land
That through his birth a new time will arise
And a star was shining bright
But the birth it was not undefiled
And the demons danced untamed, so free and wild
And a star was shining bright
Don’t be afraid, he’s in the world, he’s born to you
The sinister child
And a star was shining bright
The shepherds watched their flocks at night
The Lords appeared and they were terrified
And a star was shining bright
But the birth it was not undefiled
And the demons danced untamed, so free and wild
And a star was shining bright
But the birth it was not undefiled
And the demons danced untamed, so free and wild
And a star was shining bright
Don’t be afraid, he‘s in the world, he’s born to you
The sinister child
2. At the Break of this Day
Let’s hear about those days
About the olden times
When Herman beat the Romans
In this glorious fight
Now, hear the song about
All those breathless deeds
On the field of battle
The Germans found relief
Undefeated stood
The Roman Empire in those years
All other nations were enslaved
And mothers cried countless tears
The evil ones, they felt too safe
Then someone came who brought their fall
He was the man who had the plan
He had the strength to free us all
At the break of this day
When the mist clears away
They are match for us, but we will stay
At the break of this day
We get on our way
And today we will have the final say, the final say
He went to Rome and then
Became the leader of the legions of Rome
He learned their politics
And then his heart led him back home
He talked to us, we followed him
And he convinced us all
They were a lot, but we were fearless
Together we stand, divided we fall
At the break of this day
When the mist clears away
They are match for us, but we will stay
At the break of this day
We get on our way
And today we will have the final say, the final say
At the break of this day
When the mist clears away
They are match for us, but we will stay
At the break of this day
We get on our way
And today we will have the final say
At the break of this day
When the mist clears away
They are match for us, but we will stay
At the break of this day
We get on our way
And today we will have the final say, the final say
3. Fallen form God
I am standing by the sea, wondering
See some birds fly over me, wondering
So many things have passed my way, wondering
I took it easy, day by day, wondering
But then came a day that changed my mind
And I stopped admiring what he said
And I’ve recognized he isn’t kind
I admit that I was blind
Fallen from God
Now here I stay
I don’t believe
Do not save me in the Judgement Day
I’m just born to fade away, thank you
I see cruelty in everything, thank you
Mortal life kills to survive, thank you
Praise the lord for this simple life, thank you
Your creation is so wonderful
You looked at it and it was good
Please be gentle to the ones that never understood
Fallen from God
Now here I stay
I don’t believe
Do not save me in the Judgement Day
Your creation is so wonderful
You looked at it and it was good
Please be gentle to the ones that never understood
Fallen from God
Now here I stay
I don’t believe
Do not save me in the Judgement Day
Fallen from God
Now here I stay
I don’t believe
Do not save me in the Judgement Day
Fallen from God
Now here I stay
I don’t believe
Do not save me in the Judgement Day
Fallen from God
Now here I stay
I don’t believe
Do not save me in the Judgement Day
4. Frankenstein's Brothers
We’re by birth sons of a doc
Who later feared what he had given life
We embraced, hugged and caressed us
Believe me, we didn’t strife
Early on, we were the nightmare
Of the neighbourhood
In our school our teachers loved us
And they want our presence for good
We didn’t like when fellow beings
Screamed into our ears
They don’t respect our sensitivity
They don’t respect our fears
We’re Frankenstein’s brothers
We come to your town
Take care of your daughters
We turn your world upside down
We’re Frankenstein’s brothers
We come to your town
Take care of your daughters
We turn your world upside down
Nowadays we’re older and wiser
And have learned that people are strange
We have found our place in society
Our lives are conformed and arranged
When we play night after night in our Heavy Metal band
Thanks to all that like these monsters
Created by an uncommon hand
We don’t like when fellow beings
Scream into our ears
They don’t respect our sensitivity
They don’t respect our fears
We’re Frankenstein’s brothers
We come to your town
Take care of your daughters
We turn your world upside down
We’re Frankenstein’s brothers
We come to your town
Take care of your daughters
We turn your world upside down
Frankenstein’s brothers
We come to your town
Take care of your daughters
We turn your world upside down
We’re Frankenstein’s brothers
We come to your town
Take care of your daughters
We turn your world upside down
Frankenstein’s brothers
We come to your town
Take care of your daughters
We turn your world upside down
We’re Frankenstein’s brothers
We come to your town
Take care of your daughters
We turn your world upside down
Frankenstein’s brothers
5. Until the War Will End
From the gate of the kings where the loud horn calls
The north wind rides and falls
What good news from the north can you bring today
Who went that long and stony way
Move on – bring the message to my friend
Move on – until the war will end
Over fen and field where the long grass grows
The wild west wind comes and goes
What news from the west do you bring tonight
Have you seen the glorious fight
Move on – bring the message to my friend
Move on – until the war will end
Until the war will end
From the endless sea where the goddess lives
The hot south wind moans and grieves
What from the south can you tell to me
How many passed the flowing sea
Move on – bring the message to my friend
Move on – until the war will end
Move on – bring the message to my friend
Move on – until the war will end
Until the war will end
6. Witchcraft
Are you standing on the turning point
Do you feel everything’s disjoint
All your hopes are build on sand
And you’re searching for the helping hand
If you don’t fear what we’re praying
Listen to what we are saying
With witchcraft you can change your world
Holy rites and flashing lights
With witchcraft you can change your world
Rune stones and wizard signs
By the moon, bright and clear
Calm and cold shall be light
Everything will turn out right
With witchcraft
Just look around and you will see
Some things are not as they used to be
Sometimes you think you are too small
But believe me, you can change it all
If you don’t fear what we’re praying
Listen to what we are saying
With witchcraft you can change your world
Holy rites and flashing lights
With witchcraft you can change your world
Rune stones and wizard signs
By the moon, bright and clear
Calm and cold shall be light
Everything will turn out right
With witchcraft
What has happened hit the best of us
You have seen through all that fuss
You don’t need to play this game
Like they did, you can do the same
If you don’t fear what we’re praying
Listen to what we are saying
With witchcraft you can change your world
Holy rites and flashing lights
With witchcraft you can change your world
Rune stones and wizard signs
By the moon, bright and clear
Calm and cold shall be light
Everything will turn out right
With witchcraft you can change your world
Holy rites and flashing lights
With witchcraft you can change your world
Rune stones and wizard signs
By the moon, bright and clear
Calm and cold shall be light
Everything will turn out right

7. Sleeping Beauty
In our childhood days
We played princess and prince
We followed our dreams
We’ve decided ever since
I have built you a castle with roses and thyme
And there I first kissed you
And so you always will be mine
You are my sleeping beauty
You’re all that I am
To call for your lovin’
Is all that I can
You are my sleeping beauty
Wherever you are
Forever in me, if near or afar
We experienced the world
In our short years
As real as paradise
Without any tears
But in a single moment, all the passion died out
Lonely and thoughtful I’m wandering about
Still you’re my sleeping beauty
You’re all that I am
To call for your lovin’
Is all that I can
You are my sleeping beauty
Wherever you are
Forever in me, if near or afar
In our childhood days
We played princess and prince
We followed our dreams
We’ve decided ever since
You are my sleeping beauty
You’re all that I am
To call for your lovin’
Is all that I can
You are my sleeping beauty
Wherever you are
Forever in me, if near or afar
My sleeping beauty
You’re all that I am
To call for your lovin’
Is all that I can
You are my sleeping beauty
Wherever you are
Forever in me, if near or afar
8. Puppet in A Play
When I’d attained the age of seventeen
My parents send me to a cadet school
All my fellow students were like me
Coming from distinguished homes
They treated us hard, but not unfairly
They drilled us and we learned to stand straight
We looked so fine in our uniforms
And our parents were so proud of us
We went to many fancy dress balls
And met the sisters of our fellow friends
And also women that we shouldn’t know
But these were things that we kept for ourselves
We didn’t have the faintest notion
What fighting on the battleground means
In those days everything was glorious
And the departure was not easy for us
The rain whips my face and like struck by lightning
My comrade falls near by my side
I creep over him, I pull him back – hopefully he is alive
Through smoke, fire and blood, through all that hellfire
I carry him safe to our camp
But in my excitement I lost attention
That something has taken his soul
Was it worth the price – this human sacrifice
I have tried it with might and rain
Alas, but I had to underlay
Against the Death everything’s in vein
I was just a puppet in a play
I‘m wounded and sick
My comrade beside me
Is wounded and struggles with death
I try to help him as best I can
All in this horror and pain
In blaze, blood and danger with kindred emotions
I try to ease his mind
But deep dark shadows that move like monsters
Shake him and time him away
Was it worth the price
This human sacrifice
I have tried it with might and rain
Alas, but I had to underlay
Against the Death everything’s in vein
I was just a puppet in a play, in a play
Now war is over but I’m still in service
I survived in this horrible dream
I miss my brother, who deserted the colours
He wrote me, he is alive
By night fall they called me for an execution
But, oh God, what did I see
These clear, proud eyes were the eyes of my brother
I close my eyes as I shoot
Was it worth the price
This human sacrifice
I have tried it with might and rain
Alas, but I had to underlay
Against the Death everything’s in vein
I was just a puppet in a play, in a play
9. The Kiss of Death
When I saw you in that moonlit night
The sea mirrored your face
Your silhouette, so angelic
I felt a deep disgrace
Yes, I know, I shouldn’t do it
But I love your innocence
You will love it, when I give you
The kiss of death
Your parents died when you were young
Since then you lived alone
Your days grew on and on and on
I’d foreseen it, then I’d known
Yes, I know, I shouldn’t do it
But I love your innocence
You will love it, when I give you
The kiss of death
I stole myself into your heart
I was your brother and friend
During all that time, I wished and longed
Desired the final end
Yes, I know, I shouldn’t do it
But I love your innocence
You will love it, when I give you
The kiss of death
10. Moonfleet
At one time lived in a small place by the coast
A foundling that didn’t have a name
The people in the town don’t take notice of that name
The place was called “Moonfleet”
And they called her the same
Moonfleet
Moonfleet
No one cared about this little girl
Although she had a special gift
What she dreamed of, always came true
But that only knew
Moonfleet
Moonfleet
“Hear my words – a flood will come
Hear my words – we all will drown then
Hear my words – please built a dyke”
She told them again and again
Moonfleet
Moonfleet
They at last believed what the little girl said
And so everyone could be saved before the flood
And since that day everybody knows her name
The place was called “Moonfleet”
And they called her the same
Moonfleet
Moonfleet
Moonfleet
Moonfleet
11. Salome
King Herod gave a banquet for all his leading men
They ate and drank and they were pleased
He called for his daughter, he loved her for her beauty
“Dance for me at this feast”
“Ask me for anything, all that you want, and I will give it to you”
She smiled at him gently and thought by herself
This day you will regret
No longer I’m your daughter, I want to kiss that prophet
Or otherwise he will be dead
The night of the seven veils – she wants to seduce him
The night of the seven veils – she wants to confuse him
The night of the seven veils – he just let her feel his hate
The night of the seven veils – and so she wants his head onto a plate
Her dance were bewitching, she danced the seven veils
She was so passionate and pure
The guests and her father, they cheered more and more
Her father promised her for sure
“Ask me for anything, all that you want, and I will give it to you”
“I love John the Baptist, but he don’t look at me
He just found words of disdain
All that I will ask for, the head of John, my lover
This is the pleasure for my pain”
The night of the seven veils – she wants to seduce him
The night of the seven veils – she wants to confuse him
The night of the seven veils – he just let her feel his hate
The night of the seven veils – and so she wants his head…
The night of the seven veils – she wants to seduce him
The night of the seven veils – she wants to confuse him
The night of the seven veils – he just let her feel his hate
The night of the seven veils – and so she wants his head onto a plate
12. The Drinking Song
If you want to have a good time
Well, there is just one single way
Let us meet our old companions
That we found along the way
Still our days and nights are endless
Still we’re running wild and free
Still those women are temptation
Play the game like it used to be
Let us drink to the times that we had
The good and the bad
Until we’re dead – hoi
Let us drink to the times that we had
The good and the bad
Until….
Don’t look back in anger
The old times still remain
Everything is changing
But something’s still the same
With the years it’s getting harder
To party all night long
But don’t let them steal your power
To sing our finest sing
Let us drink to the times that we had
The good and the bad
Until we’re dead – hoi
Let us drink to the times that we had
The good and the bad
Until, until we’re dead
Let us drink to the times that we had
The good and the bad
Until we’re dead – hoi
Let us drink to the times that we had
The good and the bad
Until….
Let us drink to the times that we had
The good and the bad
Until we’re dead
Let us drink to the times that we had
The good and the bad
Until, until we’re dead
13. Blood Lies in My Hand (bonus track)
In my head, in my brain
There is something still remaining of the past
Was it “breaking the chains”
Was it destiny that was happening at last
I have cried to my father
I have prayed to the moon
Is there anybody healing me soon
It was always the same
There was something strange in the corner of my world
Never ending the game
Can I stand the power of the flame that burns my soul
I have prayed to my father
I have cried at the moon
Is there anybody healing me soon
Someone bring her back to me
I just want to see her smiling face
I’ve given her my heart, I’ve given her my soul
But the door it slammed and she has left me lonely
I’ve given you my heart, I’ve given you my words
But the darkness come and you have left me lonely
So lonely – and now your blood lies in my hand
I’ve given you my heart, I’ve given you my world
But the door it slammed and you have left me lonely
So lonely – and now your blood lies in my hand
