1. TRY AN ERROR

Dream away drink my illusions
Tell me secrets no one needs
Drag me through your little fun place
Show me windows give me something new

A distance rising hidden chill out
Get back to the south

Chances have always been low
Life is a hard way to go
But we all are in
Doors are open leading nowhere

Holy desert dive black water
Fool on platform dead
In a box of marble grows the silence
Breeding hearts
It´s all inside my head

You know I know
You try I try
You want I want
You could let´s have a try

Close your eyes and
Try to get there
Run for your life

Run a thousand miles to find your home
A triumph on your face you´re not alone
Pushed by descendants from places you don´t belong
I recommend a helping hand they´re much too strong

Down dreams the stars
In blue the sun in me
Release a word despair
Fall light disappear

You´ve run a million miles but found no home
Pain is on your face you´ll stay alone

Left behind without confusion
Stripped away with no regrets
Try and feel the different motions
You don´t have to stay

Chances have always been low
Life is a hard way to go
But we all are in
Doors are open leading nowhere
Sky is empty future broken
End is easy now
Try to stay in
This is no mistake
Keep your mind awake


2. THE SCREAMER

a/ Fefore The Raid

Before reality had turned into a maze
We stood and watched the future
Without fear on our face

But now I see a timid smile
When clouds conceal the light
My eyes turn into mirrors
And all darkness can´t withstand in my sight

I run when you push me
And I tumble till I fall
I cry alone, a silent boy, so small after all

Late at night I fly away to islands in the sky
Past my fears, past my tears, past myself for years

Hide in dirty corners
Your face against the wall
They´re coming in for you
It will get loud before silence

b/ Blasted By Screams

This is your last retreat
Back to the wall, no hope at all
Yield till there is no more
Now it´s time for war

Out of this golden cage
Now you´ve come of age
You are on the stage
Rising from the distant past
You´re alive at last

Seasons have changed you are blasted by screams
Storms from within
Break through your skin
Turning your pain into dreams

Around the world
You start the run
Oceans turn to dust
Twist the planet´s crust
Stars blown into the light
This is what you´ve done

Seasons have changed you are blasted by screams
Storms from within
Break through your skin
Turning your hate into dreams

Steam raging in your head
Try to melt your heart
Tear your brain apart
You keep the demons in
Let the show begin

Seasons have changed you are blasted by screams
Storms from within
Break through your skin
Turning your fears into dreams

Do not look twice
Eat all my lies
I will be in your dreams

c/ Silent Room

I am gone
Farewell to all who stay
I cut the ropes behind me
Left the way
The maze was dark and dreadful
But now I join the light
Never touch me
Reach me hurt me anymore
In my secret room


3. SLEEPLESS

You know my name
But you'll never get hold of me
And you've seen my ways
But I know that we'll never meet again
Right now the dream behind my face
Awaken by the sound of the fields

The man in the fountain
Is calling for help in the deep
Lead me to light
It´s been oh so dark in my sleep
But now the fear behind his face
Fed upon the smell of age

Sleepless - this day will never end
Sleepless - I found all my visions again

Here we are safe
A cave behind the shield
No one knows anything
We're hidden in this spring
Right now the eagerness within
Awaken by the sweet touch of sin

Sleepless - the challenge is waiting out there
Sleepless - the cities of angels are empty
The birds are all gone

We find no sleep
Pale are dreams and hopes
We are like flowers
Dried in the heat and tied to dusty ropes
Feel the coming of the sea

And the air holds wonderful promises
Of the lands far away
Where the waters have been
Of the miracles they have seen

We stay awake
We feel the scents there to feel
We find no sleep
But who needs to sleep in this open stream

And still the dreamlands in the sun
Fifty-one answers are waiting for us

Sleepless - this day has just begun
Sleepless - we created this vision again


4. VOID

Like we used to change
Crashing our lives into someone new
Like we used to turn
Trying to get any message through
To you
Like we believed in this tale
One by one we will fail

Into the valley in the east
Our hearts are driven forth
Far beneath the summits that shield us from the north
We can feel the lines
The powers of the source
But we feel no confidence at all
Something has gone wrong
We wake up naked - all is gone

Still here
Are we drowning in liquid fear
We hesitate to realize the road
Has been shut right before our eyes
We wait for the sun
Stay in the shadows and suffer
We forgot how to run

Is there a valley in the east
Our hearts are longing for
Standing on the edge
We cannot take this anymore
We taste the smell of foreign fields
A way out of the void
It seems like lead is in our legs
Our wings have been cut dead
We´re left here naked
With no hope to leave the cage
And touch the sun

Time in scale like diamonds
Time shines like diamonds
Light in frame like artwork
Light turns into artwork
Stream in icy cover
Streams to cold lover
Hidden from the world
Make him see the world
Stars caught in my lens
Stars delete the silence
Universe rotate to god
Universe create no god

Time shines like diamonds
Time in scale like diamonds
Light turns into art
Light in frame like artwork
Stars delete the silence
Stars caught in my lens
Universe create no god
Universe rotate to god

We found a valley in the east
The stars are close tonight
Strip away your sorrows and dive into the light
We leave this empty grave
The ashes blown away
Is this place an island in the storm
The sunlight doesn´t warm
At last we´re naked and destroyed
Caught in the void


5. DARK

I´m in the land of darkness again
Black clouds are laid over my soul
No sun to warm me no moon to calm me
No rain that could wash all these feelings away
No thing to feel but pain

Can you tell me where your dark land lies
I´ll seek you and find you out there
To bring you a light that shines warm
Through your shadows
To see the flame that had lightened your eyes
To remember the days of joy we once had
To get you back to brightness again

So on and on these feelings go
Like rivers that flow to the sea
Sometimes your heart´s open
Sometimes your mind´s troubled
Sometimes you can just feel the endless stream
Which way to choose is yours my friend
You just have to open the door by yourself


6. BLIND ARCHER

a/ On The Archer´s Hill

Up here your mind is clear
Down there you see kingdoms rising
All done, your seed has grown

Up here your mind is clear
Seasons you have laid in silence
Waiting you sit and watch
Arrows in hand

Your heart has endured the pain
All gone, you are high above now
All changed
It´s time to leave

Up here your heart is clear
Down there you feel seasons changing
Sunshine turns into rain

Climb down into the lairs
Find them, time to scan your harvest
Winter brings frozen tears

b/ Harvest

A hole in the sky and the riders fly again
This is the year of the harvest
Much too soon the end

The prophecy fulfilled this is the time
Now we´re awake to find
No sun will shine anymore
You run but you don´t know
Where you should aim
They´ll find your trace
You cannot escape from your disgrace

Sing your little song
But you won´t find forgiveness
No you won´t
Now they know your name
A smell in the air tells of
Dying and despair
But all your grieving is pointless

This is the year of the harvest
This is the harvest of years

A hole absorbed the sky
And the riders reap again
This is the year of his judgement
Finally the end

The prophecy fulfilled, this is the time
Now we´re awake to find
No sun will shine anymore
You run but you don´t know
Where you should aim
They´ll find your trace
You cannot escape from your disgrace

Scream your little song
But you´ll never get forgiveness
No you won´t
And you know

c/ Twisted

Fall asleep
Catch the dream scale
We fold the truth
Hold on to a world
You have seen
Weaving a new pattern
Where nothing has been

Twisted reality
We will be strained to reality
We will be reality

Twisted reality
We will be strained to reality
We will be reality

d/ Intersphere

All we left behind
Down in the archer´s cave
Find out what we´ve done
When we all are far gone
We know many secret ways
Lead us to another season
It is now

Everything we find
Helps us to build the grave
After all is done
The light within will shine on

Set me free in your dreams
Don´t let it end before we have seen
I lost my name
You won´t find anything
It´s all the same
We´re in the string

We´re in again back from the void
Reality transformed
To a system once destroyed
I can´t recall
What did we come here for
So far away
A lifetime for a day

Back in your dreams
Secret ways into the hall of screams

A voice inside my head screams
As we re-appear
Dreamers left behind
Visions on their mind
Down to the archer
Catch the spirits

The giant gainst the midgets
Watch out as we rage
The old man on the hill won´t play
Climb down

e/ Man In The Cloud

Since I have left my mortal state
I´ve always known
I´ll have to bear this fate
I feel my love drained by their hate
Please take away my grief

I know my time is through
Now I give the world I made to you
I hope you´ll understand
It´s no easy thing to do
What it means to leave
How it hurts to leave

O I know all is made for someone to discover
Like I did once again
It´s my final fall
Let this be the end
Hear my silent call
I leave you as a friend

f/ Globes

(Instrumental)

g/ Strings

All the things we perceived
Have the chaos revealed
Gathering galaxies in
A sea of nuclear raging
Warily we scan globes and strings
The kettle boiling over
Overwhelmed by infinite possibilities
We hesitate
How long can we wait

A glimpse of strings
Can slice your reluctance
Reception overflow
With beams of ancient glow
It´s open and full
Spreading out from the centre rotating
Fusion of all the steams
No one ever sees the links

All the strings are deceived
See the chaos set free
Shattering galaxies in
A flood of nuclear raging
Helpless we leave globes and strings
The kettle boiling over
Overthrown by too many possibilities
We hesitate
How long did we stand
Watch and wait

h/ Arrows

In the dawning of the world
We create the sunshine
Driving out the darkness and weariness
Fountains born and revealed
Taste the holy wine
Mountains will be the shield
Of the valleys divine
Lead them home to the sea
Soon we´ll descend out of dreams
You and me

A breeze from afar
Brings a chill to our hearts
But it´s outshone by the light
Forgotten but not gone
Mute but not undone
Won´t hear it at all
Keep it well out of sight

We mend the pieces of this wasted realm
And start again
Rewrite the history of man
We are close to the end of our way
All the seeds are sown
We have received all the skills
Now the children have grown
But we long for the sea
We´ll fall fall down deep
You and me

See how it grows
Feel all we use
Can you hear the rain
I wonder if this world
Born from our hate
Will melt into joy
Or shatter into pain

i/ Hall Of Fame

When ages have passed
The fires grown old
Illusions faded long ago
Like all my friends departed
And I´m left deserted behind
What will I find
I´m in the hall of fame

Mighty masters in a mighty hall
These are the lords who shaped the stars
And ruled the times before
All assembled in grace
The kings out of reach
Creation itself
They dazzle and shine
They are lost just like me
All alone with no life
Just like me

j/ Archer

Found many secrets
Left all my visions behind
Took all the passion they gave to me
In the end I find
My heart cold and blind
