1. Requiem
2. Forever Free
They try to give me answers
To questions I´ve never asked
I´ll have no part in their conspiracy
I guess I am the kind of
Guy that will never stray
The thing I need is privacy
Some guiding, depriving
Misleading and combining
They´re watching our every move
They can try to bind our arms
But they can´t chain our minds or hearts
We will keep our faith inside our souls
And never let it go - we are Forever free
You see them making headlines
New pictures tell old stories
Explaining what they have said and done
Media´s new illusion
Creating more confusion
But I know that they´ll soon be gone
3. The Kiss of Judas
I hear footsteps closing in
I recognize them from my early days
The times are different the image remains the same
Repeating backflashes remembering the name
Approaching visions of things
I can´t recall
A familiar smile awakes the pain
Unkept promises
The night awaits
The act of confidence
The kiss of Judas
I feel the lips on my cheek
The kiss of Judas
Haunts me once again
In your private chamber you´re all alone
The well earned silver pieces falling to the Floor
The flame of the candle casting movement to the wall
Your eyes filled with guilt keep staring at the door
4. Father Time
Walking down the path that leads me to my memories
Pacing all the way without a care in my stride
Where are the friends of my yesterday
have they moved on with they lives
Can we still laugh and joke about things like before
There´s no need to hide the past that I have left behind
It´s a good resource somewhere for me to find
Why am I waiting for someone to reach out
it should be all up to them
keeping in touch ain´t that easy but I´ll have to try
Where have all the years gone
that´s what I am asking now
What have I learnt so far
tell me Father Time - tell me now
Now I understand I´ll take from time what I need
And I store it inside it´s there for me to find
I can´t deny that the years will pass by
but it won´t bother me
Coz now I will set out to realize my dream
Where have all the years gone
that´s what I am asking now
What have I learnt so far
tell me Father Time - tell me now
5. Distant Skies
Went into the plane was scared like hell
tried to relax for awhile
But when we took off I feared we would fall
waving goodbye to this life
I´m flying through winds tonight
no sign of the dawn or light
Silhouettes in the sky
wings are carrying me through the night
Sihouettes in the sky
destination unknown - Distant Skies
Then after awhile I tried to sleep
but watched two movies instead
The fear struck again how I hate this plane
Hope this would come to an end
I´m flying through winds tonight
no sign of the dawn or light
Silhouettes in the sky
wings are carrying me through the night
Sihouettes in the sky
destination unknown - Distant Skies
6. Season of Change
Season of change life feels so strange
Look into my eyes do you see the truth
Im lost and alone feelings unknown
Come to me stronger than before
On winds of time my soul will fly
The angels are knocking at my door
Oh now I need to be free
From all this hatred I feel inside
Let it be my dreams
Let it be my thoughs
All those things in my heart
One too many days
One too many years
I wasted for nothing
I never realized
The truth is inside
Of every man for all to see
Listen to me now
Im so close to you
Never felt like this before
The carousel is spinning fast
better enjoy while it lasts
Every moment is like gold
youll remember when youre old
And the meaning of this life
is to live and is to die
Make the best out of your dreams
theyre the world where you are free
All the sorrow and the pain
will be washed away by rain
An eternal joy will come
it can be found by everyone
Though the end is drawing near
Im not feeling any fear
I have found the truth inside
after all the tears Ive cried
Season of Change...
7. Speed of Light
Today is just an other day
of my life too short to live
I should have somekind of meaning
a destiny to believe in
before I go to sleep
I find some pictures of a time
when everything was still so fine
although the years have passed by
I will give it all I have inside...everything
I´m away lost in my thoughts
everyday my life goes by
at the speed of light
8. Twilight Symphony
I'm entering in to the woods
I left everything behind
I have to follow my heart
Don't know what I'm looking for
Starlights guiding my way
to old black oak where we meet
now it's full moon
other side is calling me
singing dancing this is no dream
Twilight Symphony
The feast is going on
rapture never seen before
the fury is taking us
into a new level soon
Hearing voices everywhere
telling me what to do
giving me answers
other side is calling me
singing dancing this is no dream
Twilight Symphony
The spirits are calling me
I only wish to die
there is no question why
anymore
9. Holy Solos
