1. Tomorrow
Sigh no more for tomorrow,
It was doomed yesterday!
There's no time we can borrow,
Future's no good to pay!
5-3-19 knocking at the door,
Days of silence won't come anymore
Life is just a war!!!
All the ways and traditions,
All the laws we have made,
Centuries of superstitions
Fed the greed and the hate!
History has brought us here!
Sigh no more for tomorrow,
Take your chances today.
Hide the pain and the sorrow
Watching this world gone astray!
2. Run
RUN
Sky ... blood red sky
Bright ... scary lights
Hunting just started
And we are the prey tonight.
Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
Time to kiss our lives goodbye
Still we run and still we hide
Under blood red desert sky
Run, run, run to nowhere
Hell, hell, hells alive
Run, run, run me over
Hell, hell, hell,
You don’t need to stay alive!
Time comes and goes
Lives, billion souls
History changes
And still
We are the prey tonight!
3. New Fate
NEW FATE
Blindfolded train getting speed
Some say: this is what we need
How did it start, I can not remember
But we will ride only if you answer:
Refr. Who’s gonna live to see the end?
Who’s gonna live to rule the land?
Holding a new fate
Right in his hand!
Blindfolded plain learns to fly
Twin towers fell from the sky
Where can we go after that September?
Show me the one who can give the answer:
Refr. Who’s gonna live to see the end?
Who’s gonna live to rule the land?
Holding a new fate
Right in his hand!
4. Splendour
SPLENDOUR
My miracle woke up one evening
Felt a need to join on me.
Destiny just looked away, or fell a sleep – and I was free.
Hushed away the hurting sounds
Of once – upon - a symphony
And there I stood hand in hand with all the splendor that can be.
Fly, fly away, fly with me
To the endless open sky,
To the splendor of the night !
Higher you fly, with the jester
Who once was all alone?
Now the stormbird has found a perfect home!
We had all the stars that evening,
They were bright for you and me
Destiny is just a word,
We’re flesh and blood and we are free
Closed the gates of hurting gardens,
Far, the flowers smile on me
And here I stand hand in hand with all the splendor that can be.
Refr. Fly, fly away fly with me
To the endless open sky
To the splendour of the night
Higher you fly, with the jester
Who once was all-alone?
Now the stormbird has found a perfect home!
(Flies no longer alone!)
5. Destiny
So many years are pushing your shoulders,
Moments are turning you old and grey,
Don't despair, this won't last forever!
Tomorow is here, it might be your day!
Refr.: Shout it out: there is no destiny !
No curse lasts for eternity!
Shout it out: there is no destiny
God made a free world for you and me !
So many nations are pushing the borders,
Rising in power, then falling free...
No empire shall last forever,
The fallen will rise, will rise again you'll see!
Refr. 4x
Fate is turning, lives are burning
Don't ignore the silent warning!
Hold your visions, take decisions,
Never look away!
Don't reject the simple feelings,
It's the only way to healing!
Shadows of the darker times
Will all fade away!
6. Flower Of Smile
There we stood on the top of the stairs
When I saw your bloom for the first time
Since that day I dreaming of you
Visions surrounding me all the time
Now I know what’s all about
This drunk-like feeling that I’ve got
Now it’s time for me to see:
What’s up for me.
Ref. Flower of smile, Flower of smile
Turning me upside down and I never know, why?
It’s all true, what can I do?
Feels so good to lose my head for you,
Ooh, I’ve lost my crazy head for you!
I was lost and gasping for air
You were the light on the shore
Since that day I’m feeling alive
And I won’t go that far anymore
Now I know what’s all about
It feels so good, I’d shout it out
Now it’s time for us to see:
What’s up for you and me.
Ref.
Bridge: You saved my life and you didn’t even know
You were my aim, when I had nowhere to go
Show me the road that leads me to your door
And I know: I won’t be roaming anymore!
7. Thunderground
Waiting in silence
On through the darkness:
Maybe the noise
Will end someday!
Laughing and screaming
Without a meaning,
Maybe the wolves
Will run, run away!
Bridge: None of my dreams was made for sale !
They belong to me-
I’ve got no words and songs for sale !
‘cos they’are one with me!
Refr. Take my songs for your heart
Take my dreams and my art
Voices and silence and dreams
Dreams of songs and words for you, just stick to thunderground !
Need a choice
Or need a true voice?
Stay around
‘cos we’ll be there !
We need your hearts,
Your endless devotion,
We need to know
You’re there and you care!
8. Seeds
Lights are fading, I can see my enemies arise
Noone’s around and I can get no remedy tonight
Emptiness is coming closer and closer
Waves of cold are here… and they are taking me over
Spreading...
Seeds of desperation
Steal my heart away
No chance for exhilaration!
Roots of disillusion
Push my soul to pay
No way out to absolution!
Night is here and I can feel my enemies surround
Noone is helping, now I have no remedy around
Weird thoughts are coming closer and closer
Depression is here, and it’s taking me over and over and over
Spreading...
(Solo)
Lights are fading; I can see my enemies … arise!
9. Garden Of My Pains
Another tree is grown in the Garden Of My Pains
Leaves will grow to hurt my soul in the blessing summer’s rain
Another peerless feeling came to life within your tears
So hold me now, talk to me; don’t let me face my fears!
God! Let me out of this garden of my pains
I scream and shout all in vain!
Another wisdom’s eye keeps staring at my soul
Smiling flowers fade to black, still “Come with me"- they call
Strangers, keep away from this garden of my pains
Savage land, dark and wild: here my sadness reigns.
God! Let me out of this garden of my pains
I scream and shout all in vain!
Refr. This garden, sad garden, won't set me free
This garden, sad garden, lives into me…
Garden of my pains…
Garden of my pains…
Garden of my pains…
So hold me now, talk to me;
Let me out of this garden of my pains!
10. Jester's Requiem
I was nothing, but the mirror of your weakness
I just tried to make you laugh, to make you carry on
To forget the endless, overkilling madness
I loved you, everyone …
I just tried to show you, how you used to be
I found the reason of my life into the children’s smile
The lights were on, the kids, they kept on loving me
Just for a little while …
CHORUS: Say a prayer for the clown, before the circus leaves the town
And forget him as you walk out of that door!
No bad feelings for the clown, he did all and never let you down
Made a point and his face will not bother anymore!
I was empty, till you filled me with your laughter
And my colors came to cover all your shades of grey
Do you see the dance, or you just watch the dancer
You’d love it anyway …
Part 2:
Every night lions are howling in the scene
Acrobats gathering the success they win
Then wonderfull horses and camels and elephants are coming in.
“Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention?
Here comes the world's greatest magician! “
You will freeze on your seats, just to see such a wonderful illusion!
(And it's all an illusion!)
Than a man, strange looking, painted and dressed in laughter
Don’t you know, that my life is the dream you’re running after
My mistakes are yours and if I’m just a clown
You are the others!
So, I don’t wanna see somebody crying at my grave
I was free to act like you and you were the slave!
You think you saw and know me, but you never even noticed what I gave!
Part 3
Standing alone in the breeze of the night,
Under my makeup the tears are flowing !
Standing alone every day in the stagelight,
Playing the fool , as the laughter’s growing...
People around, nowhere a friend,
Somebody to lend me a hand,
The stars are shining down on me,
The lights - they left me endlessly
Alone!
Fears and pain disappeared tonight,
Under my makeup the tears are hidden!
Troubles are gathered, can I get up to fight?
But my emotions are forbidden!
I must be there, I gotta share
The innocence that’s filling the air...
All these people may not see
Someone who is endlessly
Alone!
Part 4: Menagerie
Summer nights are shining with a million stars
Down beetwen the tents, the cages and the cars
I can’t hear a sound:
Everybody sleeps all around .
I don’t know what brings me out here everynight
Even when it's cloudy and there is no light
Something’s wrong with me
I’m talking to our menagerie .
Chorus : Menagerie , menagerie
Quietly you’ll listen to me
Without a word , untold, unheard
I wonder can’t you see the absurd. .
