1. Chasing Shadows
I have been sailing across the oceans
flying across the blue sky
Without never finding the answer
the answer to the question why
just when you think you reach it, it´s gone
Chasing Shadows, Chasing shadows
Chasing Shadows, all your life
Harder you try to fix things in your life
Faster you know it´s in vain
Searching for loving from strangest places
Nothing is left but the pain
Chasing Shadows, Chasing shadows
Chasing Shadows, all your life
2. 4th Reich
Sign of the times and writings on the wall
they show me it´s time has come
Order of a new kind we will all find
stronger than never before
Things are pretty much the same
like in the year thirty eight
oh won´t we ever learn
This time is´t gonna be different
so let´s all join our hands
And let the children sing
for the last time
4th Reich is rising
can´t you see the signs
4th Reich is rising
for the last time
Let´s just press more money
don´t worry about the inflation
we got to have more weapons to carry on
Unemployment and sorrow cannot be avoided at this point
but thins will be so different when they are
ruling the world
4th Reich is rising
can´t you see the signs
4th Reich is rising
for the last time
what will be left to our children
is this our final destiny
3. Eyes of the World
Everywhere I go I see people staring at me
It makes me feel so strange
why won´t they just leave me be
So take a look in the mirror
and maybe you´ll see all the things that happened
while you were looking at me
Am I really so different
In the Eyes of the world
you are no different to me
In the Eyes of the world
is it so hard to see now
Everything we do is running to the sand
And who is to take the food away
from the children´s hand
We all could be friends now
and it´s not a crime
But we have to be quick now
because we don´t have much time
Are we really so different
In the Eyes of the world
you are no different to me
In the Eyes of the world
is it so hard to see now
4. Hold on to Your Dream
Since you were born pushed into corner
and left all alone
Told what to do, obey all the rules
be just like everyone else those fools
Day at the school
teacher´s a bully
You´re mobbed as a rule
nothing from TV
Your folks are away
you are trapped inside this house you must stay - home
Now it´s time for you to move on
Leave the shadows of your past
Don´t let them haunt you forever
Hold on to your dream
Somewhere there´s a beam of hope
which is guiding your way through the dark
This is your chance
Your love your romance
Hold on to your dream and never give up
in your life - Hold on to your Dream
5. Magic Carpet Ride
Let me take you to the far away places
Where you´ve never been to the orient lands
Soon you will notice the mountains and forests
We´re flying over them now
Don´t you be afraid, just take my hand
as we race with four winds
Welcome to the land of mystery
Welcome to the land of secrets
This is no ancient history
We are flying through the gates of Babylon
Allah is speaking us all with his mighty voice
Bowing to his power as we go down
This magic carpet ride is not a dream to us
It´s really happening
6. We Are the Future
What is wrong with a man destroying the land
Our planet is full of waste
Sheltering ozone layer is no more a shield
the temperature is rising up
Now it´s time to stop this madness
preventing increasing sadness
Let´s put end to all this while we can
Save us we are the future
Lead us in to the better world now
Show us the way to reality
No more injustice or cruelty
Save us we are the future
Lead us in to the better world now
Show us the way to reality
injustice is all gone
Fast, fast stop this course now
Last, last or we won´t last
Past stop living in the past
or you will die
End, end of our time
Time our precious time
Crime, crime against mankind we have to pay
In the course of mad destruction
There´ll be no coming back
The nuclear end is in sight
soon there will be no one to fight with
Take a look in to the sky
It may be your last time
The complete end is in sight
Soon there will be no one to fight with me
chorus
7. Tears of Ice
Tears of Ice falling down my cheeks
forming a lake in it´s surface
I see you face and I watch it till it´s gone
There were times all I did was cry out your name
only thing I feel now is pain
Tears of Ice frozen heart icy drop fall to the ground
forming stream golden dream
that will lead me to your door
There were times all I did was cry out your name
only thing I feel now is pain
Baby you should see what you did to me
now I am crying tears of ice
Baby you should feel like I felt in those days
now I am crying tears of ice
8. Dreamspace
Looking back through time to my childhood days
I used to have a place where I could escape the reality
But lately things have been so difficult for me
trying to reach for the light in the fall of darkness
Waiting watching my life I´m wasting my time
I´m losing grip from life
Going back to my dreamspace leaving it all behind
soon the things will be allright when I get there
Am I safe in here, nothing left to fear
I will close my eyes and float away with stream
Wandering here in this eternal darkness
no signs of light anywhere I am going in sane
Now I am leaving this life
No hope left I want to die
9. Reign of Terror
What the hell is going on
Skijumpers making music that sells gold
There´s no talent in this game
Hunting, hunting for the fame
Publicity is all you need
that´s why it feels to me like
Reign of Terror
Everything costs so much nowadays
An individuals vanish in the haze
Entertainment for the masses
saving, saving your own asses
Rats are leaving sinking ship
still it feels to me like
Reign of Terror
What the hell is going on
everything is upside down
Hunting, hunting for the fame
terror, terror everywhere
10. Thin Ice
I´m walking on a thin ice
Lying paralyzed
There´s staying there´s alone
Reaching for the unknown
In the mirror I see despair
In the closet I smell death
There´s needles in my bed
I´ve finally lost my head
11. Atlantis
12. Abyss
I´m out on the open sea
the wind is embracing me
I´m watching the setting sun
Far far away from you
there´s not much that I could
Do you know what´s the only way for me
Into the depths I fall
into the unknown darkness I go
Down, Down, Down
down, down, down
falling into the Abyss
A morning of no recall
no memory no nothing at all
the sun is blinding my eyes
The pain I feel in my head
I think I go back to bed
Or should I have just one more
Into the depths I fall
into the unknown darkness I go
Down, Down, Down
down, down, down
falling into the Abyss
13. Shattered
I worked so hard to get my aim
Pulled out wrong card is this my last game
Too fast too son you know it takes time
Hasty deeds spoilt the chances of mine
I´m burning inside outside seems all right
Try not to think about it much
It´s hard to say when I will play againg
Shattered, Shattered my hands are shattered
Shattered, Shattered my life is shattered
I´m dressed to kill and ready to score
Third pain pill and there´s pain no more
I can´t break out, out of these walls
Walls that sometimes the skull is caled
I´m burning inside outside seems all right
Try not to think about it much
It´s hard to say when I will play againg
Shattered, Shattered my hands are shattered
Shattered, Shattered my life is shattered
14. Wings of Tomorrow
New winds are blowing over the world can you feel it
Message is spreading among all the people
Future is calling, history is leaving behind
Nobody is thinking about the past days
If you want to have a look in future world
If you have an open mind now it is your turn
Come join our forces to this trip on the Wings of Tomorrow
Concider that this world could be free from all this hatred
There would be no borders no laws of anykind yeah
Still mankind is falling, planning it´s ruin everyday
But hey we can still stop this madness together
If you want to have a look in future world
If you have an open mind now it is your turn
Come join our forces to this trip on the Wings of Tomorrow
