2. AFTER DARK

In the Dawn
I wake up to find
Her gone
And a note says
Only After Dark

Watching her
Strolling in the night
So white
Wondering why
It's only After Dark
In her eyes
A distant fire light
Burns bright
Wondering why
It's only After Dark

I find myself in her room
Feel the fever of my doom
Falling falling
Through the floor
I'm knocking on the Devil's door

Burning burning
In the flame
Now I know her
Secret name
You can tear her temple down
But she'll be back
And rule again

In my heart
A deep and dark
And lonely part
Wants her and
Waits for After Dark


3. STANDING

Eyes betray the soul and bear it's thinking.
Beyond words they say so many things to me.
A stranger here reborn it seems
Awaking wonders deep in me.
If nothing's ventured nothing's gained
So I must seize the day.

And fighting time so hard I pray
That this moment lasts forever.
And will the world stay standing still at least for me.
Through my eyes stare into me.
I bear my heart for all to see.
With my face turned to the sun there ever standing still.

It wasn't you it wasn't me it wasn't anything.
It was a day so long awaited and a chance to be as me.
I let the wind run through my hands
As I turned to walk away.
In distant days I long to sense it all so clear.

And fighting time so hard I pray
That this moment lasts forever.
And will the world stay standing still at least for me.
Through my eyes stare into me.
I bear my heart for all to see.
With my face turned to the sun there ever standing still.
And fighting time so much I ask.
I will this morning last forever.
Though seasons change and things come to pass
Remain inside of me.
And fighting time so hard I pray
That this moment lasts forever.
And will the world stay standing still at least for me.

I had no faith before that day in any vow or deed.
Days followed days and years were meaningless.
Despite the wisdom of defeat
I bore my heart for all to see the wonders I'd seen.


4. WENN DIE LIEBE EIN ENGEL IST

Dein Herz ist rein
So sollten Herzen sein
Blühen sie im Rosenfeld

Dein Blick ist scheu
Unschuldig gleitet er
Über den Lastern der Welt

Doch wenn die Liebe ein Engel ist
Liegt er mir zu Füssen
Und er ksst mit den Lippen einer Frau
Wenn des Heilige Fleisch wird
Dann will Ich es geniessen
Und Du auch

Furcht und die Angst
Streich sie aus Deinen Gedanken
Die Zeit ist vorbei

Die Himmelswelt
Endet nicht dort wo es
Unseren Sinnen gefällt

Wenn die Liebe ein Engel ist
Liegt er mir zu Füssen
Und er küsst mit den Lippen einer Frau
Wenn des Heilige Fleisch wird
Dann will Ich es geniessen
Und Du auch

Deine Gedanken - sie weisen den Weg,
Den Du Wählst oder leider nie gehst

Eiserne Schranken verbauen den Steg
Über den Fluss, den Du Leben nennst

Wenn die Liebe ein Engel ist
Liegt er mir zu Füssen
Und er küsst mit den Lippen einer Frau
Wenn des Heilige Fleisch wird
Dann will Ich es geniessen
Und Du auch

Wenn die Liebe ein Engel ist
Liegt er mir zu Füssen
Und er küsst mit den Lippen einer Frau
Wenn des Heilige Fleisch wird
Dann will Ich es geniessen
Und Du auch


5. CALL THE SHIPS TO PORT

A billion words ago the sailors disappeared
A story for the children to rock them back to sleep

A million burning books like torches in our hands
A fabric of ideals to decorate our homes

A thousand generations the soil on which we walk
A mountain of mistakes for us to climb for pleasure

A hundred clocks are ticking the line becomes a circle
Spin the wheel of fortune or learn to navigate

A choir full of longing will call our ships to port
The countless lonely voices like whispers in the dark
A choir full of longing will call our ships to port
The countless lonely voices like whispers in the dark

A second of reflection can take you to the moon
The slightest hesitation can bring you down in flames

A single spark of passion can change a man forever
A moment in a lifetime is all it takes to break him

A fraction of a heartbeat made us what we are
A brother and a sister for better or for worse

A billion words ago they sang a song of leaving
An echo from the chorus will call them back again

A choir full of longing will call our ships to port
The countless lonely voices like whispers in the dark
A choir full of longing will call our ships to port
The countless lonely voices like whispers in the dark

Tonight we light the fires
We call our ships to port
Tonight we walk on water
And tomorrow we'll be gone...


6. CREATURE OF MASQUERADE

Lay down your face
The feigned caricature
Train me in burning these
Contorted faces down
She screamed
Here I am
And laughed in her costume
Now
Paint me a portrait
Of protective mimicry

You didn`t notice me at all
I had to change
To form myself
Create a creature of
Masquerade

Like a body of claythat swaus in revolutions
Worked by hands -
Worked by hands
He screamed
I devote
And laughed uniformed
Now
Paint a portrait
Of
Another cheated clone

You didn`t notice me at all
I had to change
To form myself
Create a creature of
Masquerade

Expose
Uncover
Create


7. BLACK HOLE SUN

In my eyes indisposed
In disguise as no one knows
Hides the face lies the snake
In the sun in my disgrace
Boiling heat summer stanch
'Neath the black the sky looks dead
Call my name through the cream
And i'll hear you scream again

Black hole sun won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun won't you come
Won't you come won't you come

Stuttering cold and damp steal
The warm wind tired friend
Times are gone for honest men
And sometimes far too long for snakes
In my shoes walking sleep
And my youth I pray to keep
Heaven send hell away
No one sings like you anymore

Black hole sun won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun won't you come
Won't you come
Black hole sun won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun won't you come
Won't you come


8. GENESIS

Forgotten the past times of unity
We glide in the arms of infinity
So find me and just keep me warm
Were shivering embraced by the storm
Our steps are so proud and so fast
Leaving the chains of the past

Forgotten the past times of unity
We glide in the arms of infinity
So find me and just keep me warm
Were shivering embraced by the storm
Our steps are so proud and so fast
Leaving the chains of the past

Were starting a new times genesis
Looking for old-fashioned promises
Together well break all these chains
Powered by the blood in our veins

10. STILLE DER NACHT

Keine Menschenseele alle Straßen schneebedeckt
Meine Wünsche quälen, fallen lassen, sie ist weg
Kein Entrinnen, ich steh´ wieder auf, ihr hinterher
Und von drinnen hör ich Lieder, in mir singt nichts mehr

Ein warmer Schimmer, ein heller Schein
Dringt sanft aus jedem Fenster
Doch ich steh´ noch immer draußen allein
Und mich jagen die Gespenster

Und hinter mir her heult mit grausamen Stimmen der Wind
Ich kann nicht mehr ich muss raus wenn die Nacht beginnt

Dies ist die Stille der Nacht
Zwischen dir und mir liegen Welten
Dies ist die Stille der Nacht
Und kein Weg führt zurück zu mir

Tief in der Stille der Nacht
Taumle ich durch die Winterkälte
Tief in der Stille der Nacht
Ohne dich und ich muss erfrier´n

Und Engelschöre in der Luft
Verkünden frohe Botschaft
Die ich nicht höre, zu tief die Kluft
Die zwischen Freude und meiner Not klafft

Und hinter mir her heult mit grausamen Stimmen der Wind
Ich kann nicht mehr ich muss raus wenn die Nacht beginnt

Dies ist die Stille der Nacht
Zwischen dir und mir liegen Welten
Dies ist die Stille der Nacht
Und kein Weg führt zurück zu mir

Tief in der Stille der Nacht
Taumle ich durch die Winterkälte
Tief in der Stille der Nacht
Ohne dich und ich muss erfrier´n

Warte, nicht mehr lange, ist der Winter noch so kalt
Wenn sie mich nur nicht fangen, halte aus! Ich komme bald
Und hinter mir her heult mit grausamen Stimmen der Wind
Nur du und ich wissen ganz genau, dass es in Wirklichkeit Wölfe sind

Dies ist die Stille der Nacht
Zwischen dir und mir liegen Welten
Dies ist die Stille der Nacht
Und kein Weg führt zurück zu mir

Tief in der Stille der Nacht
Taumle ich durch die Winterkälte
Tief in der Stille der Nacht
Ohne dich und ich muss erfrier´n

Dies ist die Stille der Nacht
Zwischen dir und mir liegen Welten
Dies ist die Stille der Nacht
Und kein Weg führt zurück zu mir

Tief in der Stille der Nacht
Taumle ich durch die Winterkälte
Tief in der Stille der Nacht
Ohne dich und ich muss erfrier´n


11. IRSAEL

Little orphans in the snow
With nowhere to call a home
Start their singing, singing

Waiting through the summertime
To thaw your hearts in wintertime
That's why they're singing, singing

Waiting for a sign to turn blood into wine
The sweet taste in your mouth - turned bitter in its glass


Israel... In Israel
Israel... In Israel


Shattered fragments of the past
Meet in veins on the stained glass
Like the lifeline in your palm

Red and green reflects the scene
Of a long forgotten dream
There were princes and there were kings

Now hidden in disguise cheap wrappings of lies
Keep your hearts alive with a song from inside

Even though we're all alone
We are never on our own when we're singing, singing

There's a man who's looking in
And he smiles a toothless grin
Because he's singing, singing

See some people shine with glee
But their song is jealousy
Their hate is clanging, maddening

In Israel... Will they sing Happy Noel?
In Israel... Will they sing Happy Noel?
In Israel... Will they sing Happy Noel?
In Israel... Will they sing Happy Noel?


12. BLACK NO. 1

She's in love with herself
She likes the dark
And on her milk white neck
The Devil's mark

Now it's all Hallows Eve
The moon is full
Will she trick or treat?
I bet she will

She's got a date at midnight
With Nosferatu
Oh baby, Lilly Munster
Ain't got nothing on you

Now when I called her evil
She just laughed
And cast that spell on me
Boo bitchcraft!

You wanna go out 'cause it's raining and blowing
You can't go out 'cause your roots are showing

Dye 'em black
Dye 'em black


Black, black, black, black No. 1
Black, black, black, black No. 1

Loving you
Loving you
La-La-Loving you
Was like loving the dead

Loving you was like loving the dead
Loving you was like loving the dead
Loving you was like loving the dead
Was like loving the dead
Was like loving the dead
Was like loving the dead

Little wolf skin boots
And clover cigarettes
An erotic funeral
For which she's dressed
Her perfume smells like
Burning leaves
Everyday is Halloween


13. BUTTERFLY: DANCE!

Is this your true world definition?
You cannot help, where your help is not wanted
You cannot escape from your reality
Give me more of your salvation


Hello... Are you listening to me?
Hello... Why don't you speak a word to me?

I tried to see you in my future
I tried to find you in my past


Let me feel your recognition
I can taste the way you look
I guess it was the right decision
My thoughts are my bible, that's by what I live


Hello... Are you listening to me?
Hello... Why don't you speak a word to me?

I tried to see you in my future
I tried to find you in my past

You live your life between these worlds
Color twists around your body
You and I got lost in rainbows
Our dreams were never made to last

Hello... Are you listening to me?
Hello... Why don't you speak a word to me?

I tried to see you in my future
I tried to find you in my past

I tried to see you in my future
I tried to find you in my past

I tried to see you in my future
I tried to find you in my past

I tried to see you in my future
I tried to find you in my past

In my past...

You in my future...

You in my past...

You in my past...

You in my past...


14. DARKEST HOUR

In my darkest hour of need
I stop and I wonder
Just what the hell I'm doing here

The thunder crashes down
From the angry heavens
I hear the demon growling at my door

Oh lord I'm innocent
I'm guity but I'm innocent
Glory in pictures I behold

Oh lord I'm innocent
I'm still here but I'm innocent
For that war i've sacrificed my soul

I hear those church bell rings
But I shall not be weakened
I will not take my eyes from you

Build a river in my side
I'm out of season
My love you know I'd kill for you
I'd kill for you

Oh lord I'm innocent
I'm false but I'm innocent
Deep in my temple webs are spun

Oh lord I'm innocent
I'm beguiled but I'm innocent
Show me all the evil that i've done

And with these words you seek to criticise
Blind to the volumes that you compromise
And should I lie and say that I sympathise
The truth, there's nothing in your eyes

The road goes on and on
To the vale of sorrow
I swear I did not foresee your downfall

So take the chains from my eyes
Give me direction
You cannot choose but heed my call
Oh heed my call

Oh lord I'm innocent
I'm evil but I'm innocent
Should I stop reading from my soul

Oh lord I'm innocent
I'm weak but I'm innocent
Don't leave me lying down here below

Don't leave me lying down here below
Don't leave me lying down here below


15. ZOMBIE

Another head hangs lowly,
Child is slowly taken.
And the violence caused such silence,
Who are we mistaken?

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou, dou, dou...

Another mother's breakin',
Heart is taking over.
When the vi'lence causes silence,
We must be mistaken.

It's the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen.
In your head, in your head they're still fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are dying...

In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, ya, ya-a...


16. TIMEKILLER

Go away leave me alone
I feel your presence in my mind
The time seems to stop I set you free
You calm my mind you calm my mind
Make my dreams come true - baby
Every time it seems to me
That fiction and reality melt together for eternity
Liquid words dropping down the stairs
Filling the emptiness with sense
You and me on the floor floating on our sensibility

You need a timekiller and you don't understand
I am like quicksand lick it from my hand
I am your timekiller I let your mind expand
I am like quicksand lick it from my hand

Tick tock tick tock madness comes tonight
What's reality compared to me
I rest on the bed and I'm sure I slowly get mad
I'm in a state of mind which makes me blind
For the fact that I'm a man
I'm here to stay forever but not today

You need a timekiller and you don't understand
I am like quicksand lick it from my hand
I am your timekiller I let your mind expand
I am like quicksand lick it from my hand

In my heart is no place for you
And in my mind is no space for you
The exit already melted away
And now there's nothing left to say

You need a timekiller and you don't understand
I am like quicksand lick it from my hand
I am your timekiller I let your mind expand
I am like quicksand lick it from my hand
