Watching belly grow
There's so much I would like to know Such a strange affair Is it really there? Is it really so? Doctor knows what's best Little work and a little rest Don't misunderstand He's a clever man You can trust his test But time will come that doctors want to know What you would like Or what you would prefer A boy or a girl Then you'll look at her And not find the words Now what do you want? Daughter or son Picking the one Daughter or son Science taking giant steps It's bringing back the fun What do you want? Daughter or son? Man controlling life So afraid he might not survive If you only knew What they're doing to keep us all alive Such a big mistake To decide if we give or take Little mystery Waiting patiently For its time to wake But time will come that doctors want to know What you would like Or what you would prefer A boy or a girl Then you'll look at her And not find the words Now what do you want? Daughter or son Picking the one Daughter or son |

The fight is over
The war is lost and I see A lifeless soldier, staring at me Fear and despair drawing his face Left in this godforsaken place Who cares for the nameless so far from home. Which way you're going There is no room for your pride No fame, no glory - lay all aside Life is a star, drowned in the day More than a million miles away From home, from the place where my heart belongs I've been sailing the seas, travelling all the land To chase the golden sword All that time I held it here, in my very hands Till someone cut the cord I ruled the oceans, taking ships in reverse Having no peace of mind Stealing all I could find As I crossed the earth I've had my residences all over space Bridging lightyears each day Only one dream away From the cosmic stage Starlight dancer... A live performance so the whole world will see I'm aligning the stars Universal in art See the god in me Starlight dancer - that's my destiny Starlight dancer... Starlight dancer... Far from home from the place where my heart belongs Free at last- but I've never felt so alone Starless Stardust... |

Life was only a cloudful of rain
With the sun never shining on me Sad and lonely but then when she came She was all that I wanted to see I want you to be mine All I need is the words and the rhyme I want you to be mine Still I wonder how some things can suddenly change And yet stay the same I could never have thought life would lead me this way The image I see Is that really me To need you more each and every day? She was looking like handwoven dreams In her eyes I saw oceans of pearls There she was, I felt lost it seemed I could only be thinking of her Want you to be mine All I need is a little more time Want you to be mine Still I wonder how some things can suddenly change And yet stay the same I could never have thought life would lead me this way The image I see Is that really me To need you more each and every day? |

Microscope eyes
They said it wasn't normal Looking at something you're not even supposed to see World in disguise You thought it wasn't your fault Hearing the tales from the wind as it blew in the tree You've been dreaming too long You've been singing some mystery song Don't you know kid that we love you love you love you... You broke their rules As questions came more often Nobody knew about your friend in the garden outside Felt like a fool But pain was always softened By hearing the songs from the wind as it blew through the night You've been going too far One day soon you'll forget where you are Better find someone to love you love you Better make sure that your feet still touch the ground Then some silly reason Made them want to cut the old oak The only one you couldn't live without Misery Life would be A letdown. Why of all trees It had to be this one you wonder Why did it have to be your friend in sound? Life must be A letdown |

May, now the sun has slipped away
Leaving the cold Oh, how swift the night unfolds May, now that light has left the day Darkness appears Oh, let me hold you near So take my hand and trust me my love Wherever we may go Together through the world May, now the blue has turned to grey Summer fades fast Oh, how soon the leaves must fall May, now the swallows fly away Follow the sun Oh, how quickly love's undone So hurry love and take my heart Wherever you may go Alone through the world No one can touch us now We have our love And though we can't hold the summer for long May you will leave though our love carries on No one can touch you now We had our love And though the winter will come much too soon May you must fly by the silver of moon No one can touch us now We had our love And though the seasons will change much too soon May you must fly by the silver of moon |

A perfect life, a timeless machine
A wordless sound but what does it mean? A silly phrase in a song You know the job is easily done Oh but what can you hide When there's nothing inside If all you do is count and expect Then real life must be hard to accept You're trying hard not to show You gave in and you think we don't know We've got eyes we can see This is no way to be If ever I had to be the man Who won a war by losing his friends I'd rather lose all I had Then take everything I could get And being left alone No one to carry me home Down, going down You think that it's day but it's night Look at you now Your face is a terrible sight In a state like this it's time to turn the tide Won't you let me get you through and turn the tide? |

This mirror seems to be
A bottomless well A world of no return Sometimes you think it's me But how can you tell The difference between Things I said and what I meant If words are only turning jewels into stones And I don't know What it is that you want me to say Now that we've lost the way? Where do we go from here? Where do we go from here? If you feel that living this way is not the answer Where do we go from here? Days get colder Times get hard so please don't leave me now See the loner He's running out of time and reasons Where do we go from here? Where do we go from here? Though the mirror shows there's an open road It's too far to go when I've got this load on me Where do we go from here? Where do we go from here? |

Calling me her rock of love and I just fell for her
Yielded to that game of hearts she promised me the world Handling the ribbons with all that we did She's one in a million I've got to admit Oooh see her grace She's got winning ways Stuck on her I often think but never even try To thank her for the good times then shake hands and say goodbye I'm playing a part in a fool's masquerade Hiding inside of the world she creates Her winning ways Stir my heart and fool the rest of me Hard to see That she's got me running around Clinging to the tempting love that I've found Endlessly Longing for magical moments to be Gambling high Her image is fading, I'll constantly try To reach for the sky All I felt was carefree love, a dream beyond compare Times have really changed my dear, but you won't be aware That deep in my heart I wish you would be Only a shade for a sweet memory 'Cause your winning ways Made me living in your world a trickery Now I see That you've got me running around Imprisoned by the love I thought I had found Aimlessly Yearning for someone that she'll never be Wondering why I'm bound for her love, forever I'll try To reach for the sky... |

Did it occur to you
Somebody here's got feelings too Or did you think that I Could easily accept the things you do I guess you didn't even wonder why Look at me now, you said A life like this will drive me mad But did you have to leave You never thought of me, I bet But I don't care no more, I'm even feeling free Working my way back to the world, working with might and mains So if you'll ever be in need of me, I'll be out of range Of all the dreams we built on jealousy Just an empty shell remains And though there's still a lot you're owing me You can keep the change Wish you were here tonight I'm lonely and dissatisfied Your absence really hurts Feels like I'm about to lose my pride It's a pain I can't put into words I'd better stay away Before your eyes lead me astray To throw me back again To where I used to spend my precious days Not to be alone was all I thought of then Working my way back to the world, working with might and mains So by the time you'll be in need of me, I'll be out of range Of all the dreams we built on jealousy Just an empty shell remains And though there's still a lot you're owing me You can keep the change |

With a quivering voice You spoke the word Shadow came between us Sharp as a sword Gone is my gladness And vanished my pride 'Cause luck didn't stay on our side Leaped in luxury I cried for the moon But the game is out It all ended too soon Awakening came as the belt from the blue At last from a sheen to be true CHORUS Oh my ruthless queen You would steal the treasure of my dream It's the twinkle in your eyes That took me by surprise Oh my ruthless queen I just can't accept our love has been I bear you no malice You show no remorse Love is dead and gone It was no endless source Your sudden leave was the finishing stroke Considering everything grow CHORUS Oh my ruthless queen You would steal the treasure of my dream It's the twinkle in your eyes That took me by surprise Oh my ruthless queen I just can't accept our love has been Pease don't tell me you couldn't care less Well I feel like a ship in distress Oh my ruthless queen I just can't accept our love has been |

Running from the scene of mischief
Scared to death when they pursued me Knowing they will catch me in the end Thought my flight had got no purpose I kept on running round in circles Finally I fell into their hands What have I done I recklessly killed someone Oh judge, it really fills my mind with grief The only thing I get is disbelief Selfish love and blind aggression Drove me to this crime of passion I was so enchanted by her looks On the verge of sheer exhaustion She evoked all these emotions Never gave me love, but only took Court can't you see That I've turned out to be The target for her feelings of revenge I'll need the best of lawyers in the land 'Cause they know every prison and they win every case But can they help forget her merciless gaze I never meant to hurt that man from the start Oh, what in the world could ease my mournful heart |

I can see a worried man
Paper still white, he's on a journey that will never end He's got the message, needing words, but doesn't understand The poet and the one man band No one seems to know Why life has run so low I can see a silly man Dreaming of a perfect love, a starry sky romance Living on an island, doesn't really understand The poet is a one man band Left alone to cry Poets never live until they die Life seems but a joke Love re-mending hearts that broke Isn't it a strange thing too All the words inside of you Couldn't possibly explain why you feel it's all been said before Spending your days alone and closing all doors Too far beyond your eyes you think But coming out you find they haven't gone So take your stand You'll see they all have come To join the one man band |

I could never understand that silly show
Life is what they call it and some people know Exactly where they're going to and where it's at What they want and even what they're gonna get When I try to match the ones that pull the strings All I so is risk my neck and sell my skin I'm feeling like an actor every word I say Prompted by a madman in a rotten play No man's land, taking shelter from the eager crowd No man's land, where my mind needs to be leveled out Here I see the madman's silhouette Standing out against the dream he's had No man's land Like oxygen I need my no man's land Prophets of the distant eye, your shallow din Slowly turns the world into a lifesize ring Where acrobats and jugglers can perform their tricks Audience longing for more thrilling kicks No man's land, between the borders of our common past No man's land, beyond the longitudes of east and west Like an outcast, rogue or refugee Victimized by my own fantasy No man's land The story's ended nowhere - no man's land |

Fiction or real
I don't know what I feel Though it seems I've been traveling for ages Rollers of time Overflowing my mind As the scenery suddenly changes Life held no attraction Ran out of love and luck Ever since I found the drug That leads me away on my Journey through time I wander in days gone by Bridging the years Tracing the past, I live my life reversed Time will do its magic tricks, at least the spell will break Such a shame I can't fortell when I'll be wide awake Standing on highway where a 1000 years ago Used to be nothing but Heath and a single hut Feel like a ghost Not allowed to get close Stand and stare in complete fascination People I meet Just pass on and proceed Unaware of my participation Age of strange adventures Though I cannot remain The trip was not in vain Unable to stay on my Journey through time This world used to look so fine I'll go without strife And treasure the secrets of my distant life All there's left to do is build a fortress round my dreams Seeking shelter from the world I'd rather stay unseen My body's in the present, but my mind lives in the past It's hard to understand I've come to journey's end |

Phantom of the Night
(Words: I. Linders / T. Scherpenzeel) A ship is setting course to sea She’s carried by the wind A voyage unto mystery Once harbour lights have dimmed A valiant toy of the waves and the tide Sails in the night The sea has many tales to tell Of all the sunken ships But trident hearts conceal them well Where man will have no grip Laughing at legends the crew shows no fear Though fate is near The waves have taken what was theirs Ships went down, but no one cares So many sailors lay buried in the deep They’ll no longer weep Have mercy on me Don’t let the sea Swallow my life Swallow my life They see the angry rollers that Are reaching up so high Her crew has gone, her sails are red The phantomship still flies On violent waves that are looming ahead Omen of death The harsh and unbelieving crew Suddenly realized all was true Just like the men who were buried in the deep They started to weep Have mercy on me Don’t let the sea Swallow my life Swallow my life Swallow my life Million anonymous were drowned Taken down Into the realm of Neptune See how she weathers every gale In full sail Doomed were the ships that came in sight Of the Phantom of the Night Of the Phantom of the Night Of the Phantom of the Night |
