(No Lyrics/Instrumental)




2. War Of Worlds

[Music: Victor Smolski]
[Lyrics: Peavy Wagner]

Hijackers, kidnapers, have a look around
Assassins with blessings from their gods
No mercy, they try to set this world on fire
They think that they have a right to kill

Take good care to be out of here
From the nuclear fire
Separation and growing fear
We forgot we're one, never spoke in one voice
Now we're here

It's the war of worlds
And we're all concerned, right now
Everyone has to learn
It's the war of worlds
And our future burns right now
(It's the war of worlds)

This is the war of the worlds right now

They swallow and follow just the path of greed
Blood dripping, heart ripping, take it all
Confusion, conclusions not in sight, so scary
Not willing to share what all is there

Take good care to be out of here
From the nuclear fire
Separation and growing fear
We forgot we're one, never spoke in one voice
Now we're here

It's the war of worlds
And we're all concerned, right now
Everyone has to learn
It's the war of worlds
And our future burns right now
(It's the war of worlds)

Burn in hell




3. Great Old Ones

[Music & Lyrics: Peavy Wagner]

Once, eons back in time from here
Long before man was born
They came from somewhere out of space
Shaped the young planet's face

And more, they made all to be, everything we see is their work
So good, the system and it?s frame played a perfect game
Until the other came...

It was all for the great old ones
Those who created life
And life carried on and on and on
They gave all for the great old ones
Under the new born sun
Where life carried on and on and on...

So everything was good to be
When some would fall from grace
Birth of the evil energy
Fear reaches back in those days

And hell wasted all to be, all the bad we see is it's work
To save the system and it's frame, the Soundchaser came
Some call them Perfect man...

It was all for the great old ones
Those who created life
And life carried on and on and on
They gave all for the great old ones
Under the new born sun
Where life carried on and on and on...

Life carried on for the great old ones

In the planets history there are secrets, you will see
Our nature has a source. Good or evil comes from those...
And all, all their secret deeds never could complete what they need

Cause hell wasted all to be, all the bad we see; 'till the Soundchaser came...

It was all for the great old ones
Those who created life
And life carried on and on and on
They gave all for the great old ones
Under the new born sun
Where life carried on and on and on...

Life carried on for the great old ones




4. Paint The Devil On The Wall

The night is scary
It's telling me the things I should not do
You're near me
I think I better stop
Tonight I'm weary
I'm telling you I think it's nothing new
Oh,dear me
And maybe I should better get away

`Cause tonight the horror takes us all
If you paint the devil on the wall
It is here, it's waiting for your call
Don't you paint the devil on the wall

The mind has power
Don't focus it on that what causes fear
It's coming
what you think will appear
We're blind but knowing
It's sleeping in the back of our heads
Don't show it
'Cause maybe it will answer and we're dead

Then tonight the horror takes us all
If you paint the devil on the wall
It is here, it's waiting for your call
Don't you paint the devil on the wall

In here, out there
This is our evil spirit
It lies, in wait
Don't bring this vision in our lifes

`Cause tonight the horror takes us all
If you paint the devil on the wall
It is here, it's waiting for your call
Don't you paint the devil on the wall




5. Sent By The Devil

Spirits coming from the mind,
waking up my deepest horrors,
capture my thoughts, make me blind.

Weird, 'cause I don't want to see
the abyss of my possibilities.

Scared I can't look away.

It has come to my side.
Sister demon - my bride.

I want you, I need you
and I have set you free.
You're always right behind me,
I know the devil's sent you to me.
You want me, you need me,
now that I've set you free.
Look always right behind you,
You know the devil's sent me to you.

What has started as a longing
almost is possession now,
it drives me again and again.
Put a light into your window,
maybe I can find a hold.
I run against myself 'till I find the end.

Sent by the devil




6. Firestorm

This place, home for all generations, never's been to small
when all life worked hand in hand
the centuries passed one by one
without changing the circumstances
that we needed to be there

Like a firestorm
when all home dies and fear is born
to feed the firestorm
Like a firestorm
that burns the ground you're standing on
we'll feed the firestorm

And then - slowly but surely -
explorers and inventors stepped into
the system they didn't understand
that's when the trouble began
and when the time marched on
they had learned how to destroy

Like a firestorm...

The end of the story is: nothing's impossible
and that's what we're afraid of
apocalyptic signs, our homestead stands in flames
guess we missed the lesson modesty

Like a firestorm...




7. Down

Who do you think that you are
Don't tell me lies
You know exactly what you've done

You went beyond the limit
Don't close your eyes
The consequences might not be so nice

Life's a cycle, driving all the world
And I will be around

See you going down (down)
I am a real survivor
I'll see you going down
See your ass go down (down)
It's always best to laugh last
I'll see you going down
Well I see you going down

I've got my shit together
It's working well
Don't need permission for my deeds

And all these superheroes
Who know so well
You can go home and this will make my day

Life's a cycle, driving all the world
And I will be around

See you going down (down)
I am a real survivor
I'll see you going down
See your ass go down (down)
It's always best to laugh last (and I will dance on your grave )
And I will wave goodbye
When I see you going down...

All the evil that you're sending out
Is falling back on you

Life's a cycle, driving all the world
And I will be around

See you going down (down)
I am a real survivor
I'll see you going down
See your ass go down (down)
It's always best to laugh last (and I will dance on your grave )
And I will wave goodbye
When I see you going down...




8. Prayers Of Steel

Lay me on an anvil, Satan
And forge me in a crow
Let me pry young virgin souls
Make them all kotow

Lay me on an anvil, Satan
And forge me in a spike
Beat me in the chasted hearts
Be the evil strike

Let me be your weapon, Satan
Fight for darkness tough
Let me war with all your force
Fight for you so rough

Let me be your evil spirit
Hold your temple high
From the brightest hell so deep
To the blackest night

All your wiseness give me black lord
Teach me prayers of steel
Give me evil, give me power
Give me prayers of steel




9. Suicide

I've been stumblin' through my years
All I had was sweat and tears
When I thought I had it made
I was always much too late

And throughout my whole life I've done everything wrong

[Chorus:]
No way out - suicide
No way out - suicide

I am loosing all I get
For myself there's just regret
And my brain, it feels so ill
Am I waiting for the kill?

What the hell's there on earth that cold keep me alive?

[Chorus]

There's a shadow on my back
I've been taking the wrong track
Now I've gone a bit too far
I've begun a private war

All I hate is myself but I've shot someone else

[Chorus]




10. Days Of December

The clouds have prepared for rain and storm
The chill of the wind has frozen all the pain
I know in my room it's dry and warm
but i cann't stand to scan the walls in vain
White and Wonderful the show covers my hair
I reached out but you're not there

In the days of December
I'm lonly ever since you're gone
In the night I remember
Your frozen hands that kept me warm
In the days of December

I've never seen sense in future plans
I know that the time will make it up somehow
But god how i miss you, there's no words
to tell you how it looks inside myself now

Cold and Beautiful
your vision in the ice
I reache out but you're not there

In the days of December
I'm lonly ever since you're gone
In the night I remember
Your frozen hands that kept me warm
In the days of December




11. Unity

(No Lyrics/Instrumental)




12. Anarchy (Drum Solo)

(No Lyrics/Instrumental)




13. Invisible Horizons

Flying high, setting sings
We got the future in our veins
But still along way to go

All we know has lost its size
If you're looking down from space
Your problems are unreal at one blow

Does it make a sense at last
To learn the mistakes of the past?
Infected with an old disease

And today tomorrow waits
In another galaxy
Waiting to take us away

Are we the only truth?
How can we be so smug
Like a child playing God...

I wish I knew
Is it still far to go - invisible horizons
What is behind
The picture in my mind - invisible horizons

It is many ages away
A life that's far beyond our rays
That we send out to get a sign

A million places there to be
It's only logical, you see
That we're not the centre of creation

Are we...

I wish...




14. Set This World On Fire

I'm the king of the world
All money, all power, all godlike
And everything you rely on
Hey, you think you are safe this way
But now I'm going to change the rules
You gave it all in my hands
Your days, they will be counted soon
What goes around that will come around
You will have to take what's to come

Raise your head, it is time to burn
You'll set this world on fire
All you had's gone with no return
You'll set this world on fire

You - tell me what you've learned
You took all the gifts that I gave you
And turned them into a nightmare
Hey, you've had every chance there was
You fool, you always failed too soon
You should be one step ahead
I'm fear - and I still make the rules
What goes around that will come around
You will have to take what's to come

Raise your head, it is time to burn
You'll set this world on fire
All you had's gone with no return
You'll set this world on fire
Set this world on fire...




15. Flesh And Blood

You turned away from me to be with someone else
You turned away but from inside you are here
Still you didn't give me what I need the most
I am half, it feels not right and I fear

Coming back, you started building up myself
Face to face, man and machine come alive
But mortality will be the price to pay
It's a circle with an end to arrive

Can't you see that I'm dead from inside
Won't you help me be alive

You, give me flesh and blood
I wanna know the feeling in my veins
You, give me flesh and blood
I wanna know the feel of flesh and blood

Can't you see I'm burning from inside
I just need to be alive

You, give me flesh and blood
I wanna know the feeling in my veins
You, give me flesh and blood
I wanna know the feel of flesh and blood

You turned away from me to be with someone else
You turned away but from inside you are here
Now you gave me what I need to be alive
On my mission in the night you are here
You are here




16. Rocket Science (Guitar Solo)

(No Lyrics/Instrumental)




17. Soundchaser

"I have heared your voice
Now I have no choice
You must face your fatal end"

What is this? I can't believe my eyes
Is it trying to hunt, it's bringing me down, bringing me down
Why did I come to this hellish vault
I have heared, they warned
It's chasing, raging, killing you

Time stands still
And myself will
Disappear tonight from this world
Soundchaser
Now the beast has come
It's coming out to eat me alive

The Soundchaser
Is soundchasing, raging, killing you

"Eons back in time
This world has been mine
Deadly plage from heaven sent"
Hush, my dear, the silence saved my life
It won't find us if we hide on the ground, without a sound
Hell freeze over! Please, please save my life
Instinctive breed, it is chasing, raging, killing you

Time stands still
And myself will
Disappear tonight from this world
Soundchaser
Now the beast has come
It's coming out to eat me alive

The Soundchaser
Is soundchasing, raging, killing you

Soundchaser, Soundchaser, now the beast has come alive...




18. Straight To Hell

Hear me, what I've got to say
I know you and get you anyway
See me walking by your side
I'm with you forever day and night

Hey man, I'm your worst choice
You don't know, I want it so
Hey man, I'm your dark voice
You don't know where we will go
Straight to hell, straight to hell

Listen, listen what you say
I've taught you and you have learned your lesson
Feel me, when you feel the pain
I want you and I am going to get you.. anyway

I look like the easy way
The truth to be found
I seem to be innocent
I'm coming around, I'm coming around

I'm your worst choice
You don't know, I want it so
Hey man, I'm your dark voice
You don't know where we will go
You don't know where we will go
Straight to hell, straight to hell

I look like the easy way
The truth to be found
I seem to be innocent
I'm coming around, I'm coming around

I'm your worst choice
You don't know, I want it so
Hey man, I'm your dark voice
You don't know where we will go
You don't know where we will go
Straight to hell, straight to hell




19. Back In Time

What's this scenery, I can see it clearly.
I'm the visionary, it's the moment of my birth.

The intention's here, this was how I planned to be
But really shows the weaker part of me.

I wish that I could turn back time.

Journey far beyond my memory,
Driven back in time.
Travel to my secret history,
Driven back in time,
Driven back in time,
Driven back in time.

Though the centuries, I tried to get experienced.
Now I have to see, wisdom starts where knowledge ends.

Once again I've failed, I didn't use my precious time
To fulfill my part, to remember me that I'm

Liked into the global vision

Journey far beyond my memory...




20. Refuge

This is mine, here's where my home is
I don't want to let you break into my world
All my life I've been looking for something
That's my own, I'm so glad I found it now
Don't you step on this ground

I don't want to lose an inch of my freedom
I'll lose my soul if you steal my refuge
Leave my cloud and stay away
This is my refuge
Play your dirty tricks, my friend
But leave my refuge

I grow stronger and you feel smaller
Guess that's your reason for taking up my time
With every secret that you make public
Your influence on my life grows, ain't this true?
Don't step on this ground

I don't want to lose an inch of my freedom
I'll lose my soul if you steal my refuge
Leave my cloud and stay away
This is my refuge
Play your dirty tricks, my friend
But leave my refuge
Leave my refuge




21. From The Cradle To The Grave

There is a window out of pain
but the grief will come again
swallow all the light and steal the sleep
tonight
I'll never see the day to take it all away

There was a time to play my cards
drown my anchor in the hearts
find the tracks to love and get the tricks to shove
I never found a way to make it here to stay

My world is a dark and out of touch
I'm left alone a bit too much
What you see is what you get
but when you can't there's nothing left
I'll miss it from the cradle to the grave

My world is full of mortal scenes
that blind my eyes and steal my dreams
What you see is what you get
but when you can't there's nothing left
I'll miss it from the cradle to the grave

My world is a dark and out of touch
I'm left alone a bit too much
What You see is what you get
but when you can't there's nothing left
My world is full of mortal scenes
that blind my eyes and steal my dreams
I can't see or feel it yet
and as I can't there's nothing left
I'll miss it from the cradle to the grave
I'll miss it from the cradle to the grave
I'll miss you from the cradle to the grave....




22. Black In Mind

I've seen it coming, it's got to be.
No illusions at the turning of the century.
All our wishes - forever free -
all destroyed because somehow we lost the masterkey.

Leaving my dreams far behind,
got no ambitions in time if only I'm so

Black in mind, When there's no point in making it.
Black in mind. When there's no hope for love, I'm so
Black in mind. When these madmen are wasting it.
Black in mind. I don't want to be sacrificed for

a territorial war. Leave me alone, I'm so black in mind.

You made me want it, too blind to see
that all it gave me were illusions of reality.
My eyes got used to the things they've seen,
now where's the difference between my life and the TV screen




23. Solitary Man

Since a while I thought 'bout leaving here
I can see no way to get it clear
Under you I feel misunderstood
In this respectable neighbourhood

Hey, don't look for me no more
'cause I won't be coming home

I'm just a solitary man
I'm gonna leave you now alone
Well, I'm a solitary man

I feel so strange here, do you know?

I have heard they're tellin' tales 'bout me
Find me weird and most unusually
Can't you see that I'm just doing my way?
Live it out what you all just pretend

I don't need no company
If I did I'd look for better

I'm...

It may seem strange to you, I know

I don't need this bullshit anymore
I'm stepping out, I'm gonna close the door
Will I ever reach the point of it
When I wear a suit that does not fit?

I'm...




24. Don't Fear The Winter

Autumn - the time of darkness and decay
Life's running shorter day by day

Winter - has gripped the land in cold caress
He's all alone and deeply depressed, she's dead

Don't you fear the winter, I will keep you safe
And warm
Don't you fear the winter, nothing's gonna
Do you harm

Midnight - and on the graveyard a storm is raging
The clods of earth hide his whole life

Homeless - who's lonely now will be for long
The wind will drift him on and on, like the leaves

Don't you fear the winter, I will keep you safe
And warm
Don't you fear the winter, come with me,
There'll be no harm

A silent might that has moved you
Hear your waters stand still
Striding down to the elder
Soon you'll meet her again

Autumn - who's got the time knows nothing yet
Who cares? But watchful are the Dead

Midnight - It's hard to face and deeply sad
But you're asleep so don't look back, you're dead

Don't you fear the winter, I will keep you safe
And warm
Don't you fear the winter, nothing's gonna
Do you harm
Don't you fear the winter, I will keep you safe
And warm
Don't you fear the winter, come with me,
There'll be no harm




25. All I Want

I'm on the run, but I don't know
What is the scare, so there's no way to go
What do I fear to cross my way
It's gonna come like a kick in the a...

Father you've warned me, so I should have known
Something's not right
Set the alarm now, before it's too late
Make it allright

All I want is my own integrity
All I want is a chance of being free
It could be heaven on earth if we are one
All I want is to end what I've begun
That's all I want

It's getting hard to understand
What is the right thing and what's a dead end
Don't wanna live like in disgrace
'Cause in the end it's a kick in the face

You tread on me and you give me the blame
This is not right
Don't mean to harm you, so treat me the same
Then it's allright

All I want is my own integrity
All I want is a chance of being free
It could be heaven on earth if we are one
All I want is to end what I've begun
That's all I want




26. Higher Than The Sky

So, now my time has come
I will be dead and gone from the Earth's face
It is my destiny
This time I cannot flee from this cruel fate

A never ending memory, a life before my eyes
Whatever comes, whatever's been, my pocket full of lies

Like an arrow in the air
Falling endlessly and I know we're gonna be

Higher than the sky, we're
Higher than the sky

And ordinary flight
Who could imagine this will be our death cell
No miracle in sight
We're diving faster now,
As far as I can tell

I see the faces passing by, there's fear inside their eyes
They all will be my company, we're brothers
Now for life
