Whiskey woman don't you know that you are drivin' me insane The liquor you give stems your will to live and gets right to my brain Don't you know you're driving me insane You're tryin' to find your way through life You're tryin' to get some new direction Another woman got her man She won't find no new connection
Takes another drink or two, things look better when she's through
Takes another look around, you're not goin' anywhere You've realized you're gettin' old and no one seems to care You're tryin' to find your way again You're tryin' to find some new... Another woman's got her man But she won't find a new...
Takes another drink or two, things look better when she's through
You 'bin foolin' with some hot guy I want to know why is it why Get up get out you know you really blew it I've had enough, I've had enough, good God pluck me
Once she was wonderful Once she was fine Once she was beautiful Once she was mine...she was mine
Now change has come over her body, she doesn't see me anymore Now change has come over her body, she doesn't see me anymore
Changes, changes, changes, changes Victim of changes
Racing' cross the heavens Straight into the dawn Looking like a comet Slicing through the morn Scorching the horizon Blazing to the land Now he's here amongst us The age of fire's at hand
Stand by for Exciter Salvation is his task Stand by for Exciter Salvation bids to ask
Everything he touches Fries into a crisp, Let him get close to you So you're in his trip, First you'll smoke and smoulder Blister up and singe When ignition hits you the very soul of your being will cringe.
Stand by for Exciter Salvation is his task Stand by for Exciter Here he comes now Fall to your knees and repent if you please
Who is this man? Where is he from? Exciter comes For everyone. You'll never see him But you will taste the fire upon your tongue
He's come to make you snap out Of the state that you are in Looks around and make you See the light again So much self-indulgence Results in shattered eyes Predominant complacency Leads to beguiling lies.
Stand by for Exciter Salvation is his task Stand by for Exciter Salvation bids to ask
When he leaps amidst us With combustive dance All shall bear the branding Of his thermal lance, Cauterising masses Melting into one Only when there's order Will his job be done.
Stand by for Exciter Salvation is his task Stand by for Exciter Here he comes now Fall to your knees and repent if you please
Who is this man? Where is he from? Exciter comes For everyone You'll never see him But you will taste the fire upon your tongue
Racing past the heavens Straight into the dawn Looking like a comet Slicing through the morn Scorching the horizon Blazing to the land Now he's here amongst us The age of fire's at hand
Stand by for Exciter Stand by for Exciter Stand by for Exciter Stand by for Exciter
Voices are calling from somewhere bellow melting on the eastern shore Rain is falling down on me, been waiting for eternity... be there! Freedom for us all!
And I wonder why, why my heart still yearns and I wonder why, why the earth still turns and I wonder why, why the sky turns black Still I wonder why, but there is no turning back
For all eternity, for all the world to see we riding high across the wind and when the storm begins, to wash away all sins we find a place where we begin
There something wrong with the world today, only the people that are fighting for... ...a better place in the world today, they don believe that they gone too far, ...they falling down.
By moonlight there a way... for rebellion here, the world has gone astray... revolution Now, the time has come to pray... hallelujah deep, inside our minds we wait... for rebellion Here in dreamland we will not obey the masters
... and the earth still turns but I on my way, he is on the way, as my heart still yearns ... I on my way, now he is on the way, and I cry for more Yes I on my way, now he is on the way, gonna find the secret wall
I have seen the secret dreams of those who know eternity and makes me feel like a shadow sneaking in In my sleep I searching for a way to find the open door leading me to where it all begins
There nothing wrong with the world today...
By moonlight there a way... for rebellion here, the world has gone astray... revolution Now, the time has come to pray... hallelujah deep, inside our minds we wait... for rebellion Here in dreamland we will not obey the masters
SOLO: Kai
Now riding through the air going to where no one dares on the way cross the line forevermore. For once in life, I do not care nothing matters, now I dare On the ride cross the line forever to be free
I'm a man on a mission And my deligence won't wait There are supersonic killers in the sky Everything you do will be analyzed, They control every step of your life
Well, mankind has gone to a high extreme To the dark side on the way All I see is a masquerade And the termination waits
Oh, I've seen the faces of a million leaving here Abandoned times and places of a world Built out of fear The quest is drawing near The mystery of fear is just about to clear
What we need right now, is a miracle on earth Let out hearts cry out, so our voices can be heard Let us walk away together >From the neverending rain, 'Til the sun will shine for all of us again
So we travel on at the speed of light And the gods will light our way Gotta change our part in the masterplan For another break in the race
And the trumpet sound will soon be heard As the dead in mind awake And the joyful saints will guide us On the onward fight that we take
Oh, I've seen a million Leaving right away from here Abondoned times and places of a world Built out of fear The quest is drawing neart The mystery of hear is just about to clear
Chorus
Take my hand and you will see The mirror of your destiny So many came to read the signs, To understand their meaning Now I see it's you and me, So try to understand And wee will walk the road of life Together hand in hand I do not dare, I do not dare But something's calling me For those who dared could not break free The one who will succeed, I wonder, is it me?
Solo: Kai
Give us a chance to live Give us a chance to die Give us a chance to be free Without fire from the sky Give us a chance to love Give us a chance to hate Give us a chance, before you kill us all Before you kill us, kill us all Before you kill us, before you kill us all Before you kill us
Now my friend it's time for you To break the spell
Your heart was torn in two And somebody revealed the wall...
Now we stand together, Our fight is to be free We never will surrender, We ride across the fields
Now it's time to break the silence And the truth shall be revealed Take the questionmark from your head... Let the fairytale be real Let the fairytale be real
One time in life is all I need, to satisfy my senses Delusions of reality are tearing your defenses
I never tried to catch the rainbow, But in the end I have a dream...
All of the damned will be wearing the crown It's hard to believe as your world's going down You won't understand why They served you so well You won't understand Why the hopeless are marching through hell
So all you see around you now Is falling down defenseless A free life is our only need, for life is only rented
I see a face on my mirror on the wall, And I don't know what it can be I see a face inside the rainbow At the end of the dream, The face in the rainbow is me
All of the damned will be wearing the crown It's hard to believe as your world turns around No, you won't understand why They served you so well It's hard to believe While the hopeless are marching through hell
(Solo Hansen / Schlachter & Hansen / Hansen)
I never thought I catch the rainbow But in the end it's all a dream I see a face in my mirror At the end of the dream The face in the mirror is me
'Cause all of the damned Will be wearing the crown It's hard to foresee As the world turns around No, you won't understand why They served you so well It's hard to believe While the hopeless are marching through hell
The sun goes down in the western sky The shadows are gonna return I wander alone through the back of my mind The twilight of moon starts to run How can I see beyond existance? I'm leaving in to the unknown I wander around as I hear someone scream A voice that is never my own Oh, how can you dare to dwell All alone in the back of your head As we struggle for life in this emotional hell We wait for for the gods to be there Gods of deliverance, how can I set free... Souls in the underworld Calling out for me... They're in my head! Wherever you'll roam in your dreams You'll have to remember your name So many are trapped - down in the abyss They're waiting for you and they say: How can you dare to stand alone On this side of the wall As we struggle for life in this emotional hell We wait for salvation to call Chorus / Solo: Dirk / Both / Dirk Morning comes around again Shoadows are leaving the night Now there's a sense for existance I've seen it with my own two eyes The vision is getting clearer Now that I've seen the unknown The voices are yearning to live again The gods will guiding us home And you still dare to dwell all alone In the back of you head Still we struggle for life In this emotional hell Salvation will one day be there Don't you be misled By the illusions in your head Then the gods of deliverance will say: 'No more illusions, we're leaving today...' Don't you be misled By the illusions in your head Then the gods of deliverance will say: 'No more illusions, we're leaving today... We're in your head' - They're in my head 'We're in your head' - In my head...
Do you remember How we used to play like kids in the sun Nowadays, there's no light to see And we're feeling cold So the time has come To say farewell my friends My fate is calling loud Now I know - it can get tough And I don't you know where I'll be tomorrow Do you - do you wanna know it I don't care about it Somebody said that we could never ever die Oh what a lie
You will see the light again We'll all be free someday: I know - 'cause united we stand
Goodbye my friends, I'm leaving you today My quest is hard, but I must be on my way Now, don't ask why Goodbye dear friends
Solo: Dirk
Don't you try and stop me All I know is: I have to go! There'll be no sense in my life at all If I stay You will never see it - you will never find it Oh yes I will! Someone will take my place if I DIE!
An old man said: Some years ago they've tried it all before Some men of honour left And searched for that land They did not return. Now it's up to you To play a better game - remember When you're out there Don't look back at all
Goodbye my firends, I'm leaving you today The quest is hard, I hope I'll find a way home one day
Good my friends, I'm leaving you today The quest is hard I know I find a way home one day You will see the light of day We'll all be free again All that's left to say is FAREWELL
Hello my name is Mr. Know-It-All My sweet home is deep down in your soul Let me introduce you to the final call Salvation is calling for you
Life is just a fairytale Narrated by a lunatic for man The hope is clouded by eternal haze
Tell me what you mean? Do you think about ambition? Why don't you scream? - oh yeah
Don't you realize - what you criticize Now remove yourself - away from here
Salvation's calling - salvation's calling The walls are falling - salvation's calling now!
Hey, you think that you blown it all Your life, you can't enjoy it to the full When all your dreams are fading To eternal black You're lost in the twilight
Now, what d'you mean What do you think about ambition? Go out and scream, oh yeah Realize not criticize Remove yourself away from here Remove yourself away from here
Salvation's calling - salvation's calling The walls are falling - salvation's calling now!
Follow you instinct Never follow your illusions Just remember from all your troubles There is a way out Turn around and see yourself Beyond your horizons There's an outcry in the void There is a way out from here
Goodbye my friend It's time to leave you on your own Get going to find out your own way Believe in what you're doing Cos I'm in your head You can't hesitate anymore
Don't think about existence Just move your ass - be yourself
Now realize - not criticize Now move yourself - take your chance
Salvation's calling - salvation's calling The walls are falling - salvation's calling now!
Somewhere in the desert of the void Beyond the wall We're the last survivors We're the ones who'll never fall Men inside the circle leave the night! Darkness al around us Not a single beam of light All we have is our faith Waiting for the fight The time has come to break the outer wall
Grab your heart I'll show you the way Hold you head up high
High above at the edge of the world We're searching for glory and peace When the time has come, you will see Our return to the land of the free
Men inside the cirlce Tell me what you feel and see Delusions of reality The mirror of your dreams
Hold you ground And I'll show you the way Now hold your head up high
Chorus / Solo: Kai / Dirk / Kai / Dirk
And when the cracks appear upon the wall We know the moments here to see it fall and as the sunlight appears again in our sky no wall, no more, no more will darken our life
Now I must go I'll wait for you to follow No turning back But there's a light I've seen it all Riding through never fall When all is done We must be one I will return
The saviour is calling He's riding through the night The only, the holy Returning from the light We fall to the ground and we pray 'Cause he's the only one No demons left in this world Since he has won Oh hear what I say...
All men come To see the king of the world The time has come for everyone The saviour stands for all of us Now praise the one who'll destroy The evil abyss of the void
His armour Still shining Though it's torn from fight The brave man, redeemer He brought us back to life Oh yes he did
Now fall to the ground and pray 'Cause he will come No demons left in this world Since he has won Now, listen to what I say...
All men come To see the land of the free The time has come for everyone The saviour stands for all of us Now praise the one who'll destroy The evil abyss of the void
His armour, still shining Though it's torn from fight The brave man, he battled On through the night His eyes they were gleaming like fire And he's prepared he's the one The young man He raises his head Up to the land In the sun Wherever my spirit may fly Up to this heavenly fight I know That I will return from a mission Beyond our skies - now
Where will you be tomorrow? Really I don't care I have seen the future, rising everywhere Look into the mirror, tell me what you see Piece by piece you'll vanish Until you disappear!
Now I'm doing what I say No more fooling anyway Beyond this hell, there is a better life to lead You're all undone, emotionless It's not the way for me
Now I know there's a better way Let my heart ride out for a brighter day Now it's time to breathe in the open air With a mind so free, anyway It's time for a change... It's time to break free!
Had enough of fooling, had enough of lies Hypocrisy, intriguing, right before my eyes Had enough of hound dogs, barking all the time I agree with Elvis, you ain't no friend of mine
Apart from this there is a better life I know You're all undone, emotionless It's time for me to go
Now I know there's a better way Let my heart ride out for a brighter day Now it's time to breathe in the open air With a mind so free, anyway It's time for a change... It's time to break free!
Now I know there's a better way Let my heart fly free towards a better day Now it's time to breathe, it's the only way, let my mind ride out, anyway...
Now I know, there's a better way Let my heart ride out for a better day Now it's time to breathe in the open air With a mind so free, anyway It's time to break free!
Do you believe in the afterworld Or the afterlife? Do you agree there's a place for us Beyond our life Where the timless call for life Is lost and you will see The forgotten dreams That you once had become reality
They will be set free - another day You cannot leave if you do not want to stay In the afterlife - in the afterlife
Life's a dream that you will forget In the endless space And the scars you got on planet Earth Will be erased You were blind until your eyes Have stopped to see And your powers unfold by the moment You hit eternity
You will be set free But you'll never return That's the price you have to pay In the afterlife - in the afterlife
Solo: Kai
Now you're gone without a word You didn't say goodbye I miss you here where are you now An angel in the sky? Your visit here has been so short You left to be set free But I believe we'll meet again And together we will stay
In the afterlife - in the afterlife In the afterlife - in the afterlife (Dedicated to Ingo Schwichtenberg)
TRIBUTE TO THE PAST Music: Hansen, Rubach/Lyrics: Hansen
He who found a way to leave to somewhere far from now Traveling in his time machine a dream that had come true Fly my friend, you will see, something called reality I feel good, I'm alright, doing what I please - I travel time
Far beyond the rising sun - I ride the winds of fate Prepared to go where my heart belongs - back to the past again
I just want to save the universe for all mankind He wants to save the future of the earth Step by step surroundings change as years go passing by He only stops to gaze a little while I push the button further on, I just can't get enough I know I will return again but still I'm movin' on
Far beyond the rising sun - I ride the winds of fate Prepared to go where my heart belongs - back to the past again
As I movin' on I see things to come, I see fears and I hear laughter Curiosity, comin' over me, what is destined and what will happen And I see the lies and I hear the cries and the marchin' of the people As they go to war, heaven knows what for - God I think I've had enough now
Too late, too late - I can't go back no more! I lost control of the engine No light, no light - can't see where I have gone can't see where I have gone to Where am I now - stranded in time
So many years have passed since I had gone and I have seen what's gonna be But now I know it is useless to travel on And I will return to the time and peace I belong to
Far beyond the rising sun - I ride the winds of fate Prepared to go where my heart belongs - back to the past again
Far beyond the rising sun - I ride the winds of fate Prepared to go where my heart belongs - back to the past again
I'm riding the wind, don't need your request You'd never invite me but I will be your guest Oh no, no don't be afraid of the reaper It's time to go I call your name and you follow Fly with me Bridge: Take a look around and say you love me And I will guide you through the golden door For everything you'll see there is a reason The big wheel is turning like always before Chorus: There is no return from the other side of heaven For the big wheel turns and the circle must go on forever more How do you like your termination day? So far - Kiss me good bye, cause I must fade away Oh no, no don't be afraid of your master It's time to go it's calling your name now you follow Fly away Bridge Chorus Solo Kai Welcome to eternal life, my friend Now take your seat on your cloud Enjoy your stay But always remember... There is no return Chorus (x2)
LAST BEFORE THE STORM Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen
Who's controlling all the misery and pain When the error signs are lighted in the masterhall And from the start the action is in vein Cause the beast is always careful to avoid the fall
We crawl up to the skies. We'll never return again
We're the last before the storm Watching the sun going down on us We wish we had never been born To be the last before the storm
Who's ever gonna change the world I don't understand what we are fighting for The truth is sad, no lying, we are cursed I don't really know who ever made the law
We cry on for more, we wonder what's next to the world We settle the score, we never look back
We're the last before the storm Watching the sun going down on us We wish we had never been born To be the last before the storm
Cry out for the people who don't know the world They don't understand what they say and they're cursed Lying for reasons in search for the truth
Mephisto - we comin' down Mephisto - we comin' down
We cry out for more, we wonder what's next to the world We settle the score, we never look back
We're the last before the storm Watching the sun going down on us We wish we had never been born To be the last before the storm
I crawl across the floor, never see the light Only shadows on the wall Somebody said there's reality behind But I'm afraid to turn and fall...!
Set me free?for eternity
And now they talk about my destiny again I hear their footsteps in the dark But then again, there was the silence and the pain Ooh, Lord, that made me feel so lost...!
Help me?get out of here Save me?my world's an illusion
I'm still inside the cave, imprisoned in my mind And silhouettes on the wall I have to turn around to see what's goin' on 'Cause what I saw was never all...!
Just a move is the solution It's not enough to stand and stare Leave the cave and find a reason For the cross you have to bear
In the morning your try to recover But you still got the red in your eyes Then you get up and look at the mirror And you see the beast arise Got a big red nose from the overdose And somebody else's eyes And you think to thee is it really me And you have to realize The prize that you pay for a moment like this Is never for high 'cause you still doing it Don't you know that we all stand in line Our future dreams are just a waste of time Chorus: Our future -is a madhouse and we all are movin' in Cause the world - needs some action and there nothing left to gain Take your baggy, things are ready You only need to come Join this century's schizoid clan The rooms are primed and done The price that you pay for a moment like this Is never too high cause it perfectly fits Don't you that we are wasting time Insanity is just a state of mind Chorus Solo: Kai/ Dirk/ Kai Our world - is a madhouse, in the gutter, come on in Our world - needs some action satisfaction 'til the end Our world - we need sex and crime to supply our minds an amazing time, come on in Our future - and we party on 'til our life is done Just to waste our time - 'til the end
