1. What I Crave

What I crave (T&M: Knollmann)



When I saw you it was love at first sight, you brought joy into my days and my nights

Too late I realised you just played with me, a mere possession of yours I have been

Chorus:

This is what I crave - How could I believe?

To make you my slave - how could I fall so deep?

That's my only aim - Is it now too late

You'll never be free again - To change my fate?



All my friends they said you're playing with me, I didn't hear them, the truth I couldn't see

Now that I'm by his side, I've come to realise, that his words of love turned out to be lies

Chorus

Solo: Metty

And when the moon now touches my pale face, my tears fall like the rain

For by his kiss I've turned in what I can not see, for all mirrors show not me

I've been uncaring, now I must pay the price, for even death can't set me...... free

Chorus

This is what I crave - How could I believe

To raise you from your grave - is this just a dream?

For all eternity - Now it is too late

You'll be just like me - I can't deny my fate




2. Icarus

Icarus (T&M: Knollmann)



Father I spread my wings and fly up to the sky, no longer can this earth bind me with it's chains

I long for the sun and its burning rays of light, life on this earth, it seems so in vain

All I want is to spread my wings and reach for the sky

All I want is one moment of glory before.... I die

Chorus:

I will fly - spread my wings and fly - all my life - I have longed for this moment in time

To just fly away



Father, I leave the ground and I'm never to return, say farewell to all my friends and my love

I want to touch the sun and though I'm sure to burn, this was my dream so long, the dream I can't give up

All I want is to spread my wings and fly into the sun

All I want is one moment of glory before.... I'm gone

Chorus

Solo: Metty

Father, my mind's confused by the golden rays of light

My dream has come true for me - now I finally fly

Chorus




3. Free

Free (W&M: Knollmann)



Once I have dreamed of freedom of a life that I could lead on my own

Once I have believed the words, I'd be free if I was grown

But then I realised that in this world there's nothing as it seems

Still I try to find the one way that I really can be free

And now I find the sense of life in myself

Chorus 1:

And I'm free - free as I always wanted to be

I am free - noone shall rule about me



I don't need no words so wise, only spoken to make me obey the rules

Now I lead my own life and I'm laughing loud at all those fools

If you look deep enough it's there in you, too

Chorus

Chorus 2:

And I'm free - nothing shall ever stand in my way

I am free - there's only me to obey

Solo: Metty

Chorus 1

Chorus 2




4. Heart of Darkness

Heart of Darkness (T&M: Knollmann)

Special Guest: Sebastian Bittner (ex - Legacy) - Keyboardsolo



Eric, my dear, I must admit my feelings for you,

yet I belong at Horlock's side, this is what you should know

He is such a strong, great man, how could I not love him?

Yet these thoughts of you and me keep cracking up my brain

Chorus:

He has come from the Heart of Darkness and will take my heart with him

He has brought my heart in trouble, for our love can never be



This is all insanity, our love can't be

For Horlock is no greatful man and will never set me free

Yet my heart keeps telling me, someday we will be one

For if love does guide our path, there's nothing that can't be done

Chorus

Solo: Sebastian "Seemore" Bittner



All that's left to me is dream of you and the love that could have been

I'm too scared to leave my life behind and to follow the path of my dreams

For your embrace I long, but I cannot risk my life for being with you

I have to keep this facade and tell myself that my feelings are not true..... not true

Solo: Metty

Chorus




5. The Bad Side

The Bad Side (T&M: Knollmann)



Solo: Metty

So now it has come to this, I've been stung by the serpent's kiss

And I don't think I can play the good anymore

Deep inside me I have found a Bad Side longing to come out

And now it freezes me to the core

Chorus:

Now I found out - hidden inside me is this Bad Side

It's my true enemy - and it will come out tonight

And never can I trust myself once again,

because of my Bad Side I'm forever damned



Now I've come to realise I'm under control of my bad side

And most unfaithful is my alliance to the sin

I never could have known, my Bad Side would be so strong

And now I became my own victim

Chorus

Solo: Metty

In my loneliness it speaks softly to me of all forbidden things I've ever dreamed

How can I resist all its reasons so deep when my own reasons are ever so weak?

It's ruling my life

Chorus

Solo: Metty




6. Wings of a Dream

Wings of a dream (T&M: Knollmann)



I never believed in love until it came to me

Love filled my heart, poured out with every beat

Your kiss so sweet, like nothing tasted before

Your gentle touch burns my inner core

But fate put such a cruel twist to the game - now I am in pain!

Chorus:

Forever when I close my eyes, there's a place where our love can be

I know that we can reach this place on the wings of a dream

And every night my dreams lead me to the place where our love can be

I know you'll always be there at this place that I can reach

On the wings of a dream, the wings of a dream



I told myself to be strong, to resist this inner pain

That always grips me when I see we'll never be together again

Nothing, nothing can describe this emptiness in me

There's only memories and dreams to fight the misery

Reality's no use for me anymore if you are not there

Chorus

As the hours tick away, my mind fades more and more into the dream

Nothing there to hold me back without you, without you....



No longer do I want this world of pain, my mind fades away

Chorus

On the wings of a dream....




7. God

God (T&M: Knollmann)



Special Guest: Thorsten Rohleder (Legacy) - Gitarrensolo



"There are times when I am lonely, when I feel the deep urge to give it all up

When all things seem to be without any hope or meaning.

But never will the dark clouds destroy my dreams

For the only one to rule my destiny - is me!"

Lost in dark thoughts I feel time passing by, unable to see even small rays of light

There's no hope left you'll never love me, why is it so hard this pain that I feel?

I don't know what to do, my life seems lost without you

In my mind I hear a voice, telling me it's all my choice

Chorus:

Whenever I feel alone and sad and hollow deep inside,

there's one thing that lets my spirit rise

Through each strike of tragedy, I shall be fortified

For I am the God of my own life



My work's a pure mess, my friends turn from me, there seems no way out of this misery

Yet I know that something in me burns bright, nothing will ever extinguish this light

Never ever, I won't surrender, never ever will I be bending

In my mind I hear this voice and I know there's always a choice

Chorus

Solo: Thorsten

Chorus




8. Nur Du

Nur du (T&M: Knollmann)



Special Guest: Sebastian Bittner (ex-Legacy) - Piano



Die Stunden ziehen langsam nur dahin, keine Freude wohnt in meinem Herz

Weil ich in Gedanken bei dir bin, und die Gedanken wandeln sich in Schmerz

Ich weiß für uns gibt's keine Chance, ich bin eine von vielen

Doch versetzt du mich in Trance, was ist das für ein Spiel?

Chorus:

Was hast du nur mit mir getan?

Denn immer wieder denke ich, nur an dich, nur an dich

Warum schlägst du mich so in deinen Bann?

Warum dreht sich mein Leben nur um dich?

Solo: Metty



Die Tage werden endlos mir zur Qual, hilflos stehe ich an deiner Seite

Mein Lächeln wird ein stumpfes Ritual, in deiner Nähe weiß ich nicht mehr weiter

Ich weiß du hast ne andere, doch flirtest du mit mir

Die Trennung zwischen Spaß und Ernst wird mir langsam zu viel

Chorus



Sie sagen es ist Besessenheit, doch ist mir das egal!

Was wissen sie von meinem Leid und meiner Höllenqual?

Ich würde dir so gerne zeigen, wie sehr du mir gefällst

Doch würdest du mich dann abweisen, zerbräche mein Herz

"Ich spüre, dass du mehr für mich empfindest,

doch passt das nicht in mein Bild von dir

Um unsre Freundschaft zu erhalten

Halte dich lieber fern von mir!"

Immer wieder ignorierst du meine Zeichen, meine Worte

Oh hätt ich nur den Mut zu fragen, was ich dir bedeute

Chorus 2:

Was habe ich dir nur getan?

Immer wieder denke ich nur an dich, nur an dich

Warum komm ich nicht frei von deinem Bann?

Warum seh ich denn immerzu nur dich?



So leb ich jeden Tag mit dieser Quälerei und sage meinem Herzen "Jetzt gib Ruh`!"

Doch ignoriert es meinen angsterfüllten Schrei, denn in meinem Herzen lebst nur du......




9. The Wish
