1. Tool of the Devil
I'm a man without a heart, without a soul
I am here for you, if you'll play my role
Come closer if you dare, I will snow you the way
I'm pleasure and pain, I'm the night of your day
Walk through the fire with me
Over the seas of our times, higher where all is sublime
I'll be here by your side forever
I will shadow your steps again and again
We'll be chained to this sin together
Through the joy and the pain
'cos I am the Tool of the Devil
You try to stay on path, try to keep direction
But the voices in your head, whispering deception
You're standing in the middle, don't know what to do
I'll give you the answers, to get you through
Walk through the fire with me
Over the seas of our times, higher where all is sublime
I'll be here by your side forever
I will shadow your steps again and again
We'll be chained to this sin together
Through the joy and the pain
'cos I am the Tool of the Devil
2. Without Wings
The blood in my head burns like fire
And madness is raising it's head
Surviving, the deepest desire?
Or just an obsession instead?
I feel the pain when I see the rain
I don't have the power I need
I'm locked inside in my head and my mind
It's time to give up and concede
Without wings, I cannot fly
I'll never reach the sky above
Is this the way, the place I'll stay?
Will I be trapped forevermore?
The weight of the world on my shoulders
It's crushing my humanity
Longer I go and get older
I embrace my insanity
And now I can see, what's inside of me
Ignorance is not a virtue
I sense and I feel, frustration so real
Or is it just fake and untrue?
Without wings, I cannot fly
I'll never reach the sky above
Is this the way, the place I'll stay?
Will I be trapped forevermore?
The blood in my head burns like fire
And madness is still in my head
Life, the deepest desire?
Or just an obsession instead?
But now I can see, what's inside of me
Ignorance is a virtue?
I sense and I feel, frustration so real
Or is it just fake and untrue?
Without wings, I cannot fly
I'll never reach the sky above
Is this the way, the place I'll stay?
Will I be trapped forevermore?
3. Liquid of the Kings
The sound of a screaming hound howling in my ears
Black visions from yesterday feeling all my fears
Another vicious night behind, I can't recall a thing
I've sunken down again into the liquid of the kings
Trying to clear things out, trying toget my life back on track again
Breathing hard, it feels like my heart is bursting out
Makes me crazy, a hit insane, so I just scream and shout
Every single time gets worse, will I ever learn?
'coz when it's time to choose the way, I take a fatal turn
Trying to clear things out, trying to get my life back on track again
Time after time I fall down into the depths of my mind
Searching my way out from this endless circle
And time after time I climb up again on the highest spire
I'm on my way, on my journey into darkness
Burning life fuel far too fast, driven by addiction
This ride is getting frightening, feels like a bad prediction
Mayhem, confusion, I'm under attack
The one who's calling my name, knows that I'll be back
4. I Will Come Again
Here again all by myself I'm pounding it all
I can't recall those years before, before when I stood tall
The days of glory in the past, haunting evermore
The vision and the final dream are still behind the door
Searching for the righteous course, I'm lost without a light
I need a sign, I need it now, I'll never give up without a fight
I will come again
With the power of my will
I have seen the eyes of this world and I have seen it's thrill
I will come again
Until then I'll get through
Destination still unknown
Direction straight ahead
The story goes on and on, it's time to turn page
I wish to find my final peace, without any rage
And suddenly I see it all, I'm not alone anymore
I need to run but not to hide, I'm reaching for the door
I will come again
With the power of my will
I have seen the eyes of this world and I have seen it's thrill
I will come again
Until then I'll get through
Destination still unknown
Direction straight ahead
5. Welcome to the Real
From the lonely road to nowhere
Into the eye of the storm
I've been waiting for this moment so long
Looking ahead with clear and hungry eyes
Embracing the power and glory
I see only me
Further I reach the harder I fall
I realize I cannot fly without wings
Will you catch me will you let me take the fall
Give me your hand because alone I'm nothing at all
Welcome to the real
Where dreams are brought down
Welcome to the real
Where trust gives in to truth
Welcome to the real
High hopes and wide visions
I feel like living a dream
Upside down the world looks better
If this is your truth I never want to wake up
Bring me fortune bring me fame
That's what I'm dreaming
Open my eyes and it's all gone
6. The Last Song
Long after midnight, I'm still wide awake
I'm rolling and sweating, my bed is like a lake
Waiting for my peace, waiting is so hard
How much can I take before I'll get scarred
I fall asleep
And it feels so peaceful and deep
24/7, forever on the run
Pushing to the limit, reaching for the sun
Can't stop, keep going, got a few more things to do
I know that I will burn myself, before I am through
I fall asleep
And it feels so peaceful and deep
I try to foretell the signs in me
But I'm too close and too blind to see
What keeps me going on and on?
Maybe I just want to hear the last song
7. Another Time
Another morning, another day
Another sunset is on it's way
Another cold and sleepless night, another restless soul
Another sorrow, another fea
Another smile turns to a tear
Another undefined feeling takes over again
Do you believe?... that you can pull the strings together
Do you believe?... that you can finally find your way
Do you believe?... that you can lead your own life
Do you believe?
Another life, another death
Another birth without a breath
Another candle lights as another dies away
Another peace, another war
Another cause to fight for
Another reason to stay here, or maybe another time?
Do you believe?... that you can pull the strings together
Do you believe?... that you can finally find your way
Do you believe?... that you can lead your own life
Do you believe?
The way you live
You take before you give
You'll pay the price
You'll pay it once or twice
Before you learn
You'll have to take your turn
Don't wait for another time
Another morning, another day
Another sunset is on it's way
Another night, silent and peaceful
8. Feed the Fire
Burn me – with your eyes of fire
Turn me – from faith to desire
Take me – across the line and through the door
Break me – make me your slave forevermore
It feels so good
To be so bad
I'm flying ever higher
On the wings of desire
Flying too close to the wire
I'm going to take the fall
Just to feed the fire
Waiting – for another chance to steal your glance
Watching – you spin around like in a trance
Craving – to be close enough to feel your breath
Knowing – that this will be the kiss of death
It feels too good
To ever turn back
I'm flying ever higher
On the wings of desire
Flying too close to the wire
I'm going to take the fall
Just to feed the fire
It feels so good
To be so bad
I'm flying ever higher
On the wings of desire
Flying too close to the wire
I'm going to take the fall
Just to feed the fire
9. Weight of the World
You can feel the pressure is rising
You can see all the sings of despair
Now it's begun, and you can't run
You can see all the masses are moving away from the hunger, the agony
But it's everywhere, true and unfair
Whatever you do, wherever you go, shadows of wraiths are near
Hunting you down never letting you go
In hell you've been year after year
Plague's on the screen
Can you live on despite what you've seen?
Can you carry the weight of the world by yourself
All alone, so alone
When the truth is revealed
And all the scars in your heart may be healed
And all the memories you have, joyful and sad
Will be gone and in vain
Now and forevermore
The source of destruction is feeding our needs
And it's trying to make us appeased
There's not enough pain, and it drives us insane
Addiction is feeding our frenzy
Our greed and our lies have led us astray
Too far gone?
So damn wrong
10. Land of Innocence
Hear my story, hear my words, they might speak truth about this world
Hear me opening my heart, I've seen the years passing by
Seen them wither before they die
Only to be born again
Close your eyes, descend with me
Into the dream that we believe
That's the best we've ever had
Let your mind go with the flow
Let it fly high and low
Throw yourself into the memories
Higher, reach higher
Where all our fantasies will come true
We are heading back to out innocence
We're falling in to oblivion
Back to our innocence
We're turning the wheels of time
And living it all again
In the land of innocence
What is everything you've done
Fades away one by one
And you could start it all again
Try to make it another way
Live life to the fullest everyday
Until the circle closes again
Higher, reach higher
Where all our fantasies will come true
We are heading back to out innocence
We're falling in to oblivion
Back to our innocence
We're turning the wheels of time
And living it all again
In the land of innocence
"If I could take the reins and turn back the hands of time
Long before the womb, long before the morning light
Striving with my makes on the shoulders of the world
Lost inside a myriad... a maze that's so absurd"
Before you pass all the crossroads of life
Before you get to the end
You'll face all the pain to get the reward
The greatest of them all
Or is it vain to even dream about this again and again and again?
Does it really matter what you think?
Fantasies are made for us all
And life goes on and on
