(instrumental)


2. DEVIL IN MY EYES

We all believe that the people are living in a peaceable age.
We don´t want to know that all our souls are caught in a cage.
We find the power of the darkness in everybodys heart.

chorus:
Come and try to see the facts.
Don´t make use of this white lies.
In the mirror you can see it belongs to you and me.
There´s a devil in my eyes. There´s a devil in my eyes. There´s a devil in my eyes.

That´s our life and that´s our fate in the memory of man.
We can´t escape and must live our live as good as we can.
We find the power of the darkness in everybodys heart.

chorus

This evilminded snake disguised in your soul,
is crawling through your body untill your blood runs cold.
This evilminded snake is hidden everywhere.
In me in you in everyone so take good care!

chorus


3. SELLING THE WIND

Yes you know all that politicians.
They all just live at your expense.
It is a matter of indifference.
Be shure that they are not your friends.
So take care and do not take the bait.

chorus:
Here's my advice: Keep your eyes skinned.
The only thing they wanna do is selling the wind.

It is so easy to swim with the tide.
And easy to live as a parasite.
But if you have saved your common sense,
you will fight against theire arrogance.
So take care and do it as I say.

chorus

They have theire cake and eat it, too.
so always keep your eyes skinned.
The only thing they'd like to do... is selling the wind.



4. SCREAMING

Innocence gives them no refuge. So they have no chance to save by flight.
In younger years they have faith in goodness, can't recognize an evil eye.
If they tell the truth no one would believe it. Cause they are small fry.

chorus:
Screaming, screaming, is all they want to do, screaming and to give a shout.
Screaming, screaming, is all they want to do. But screaming is not allowed.

All is hushed because tears are quiet. You can it often see in this face.
In younger years they are reduced in obedience only the adults have the might.
Theire authority is stronger then words of a child. So the truth can't come to light.

So they are screaming, screaming, in a low voice. At last there is not the least sound.
And at last we have not the faintest suspicion. That our children are ice-bound.
So they are screaming, screaming, we can't hear it. Cause we are deaf in this ear.
They are screaming, screaming all the time and are alone with that fear.
Screaming, screaming, is all they want to do, screaming and to give a shout.
Screaming, screaming, is all they want to do. But screaming is not allowed.

chorus


5. DEEP IN ME

I´ve spent a long time and I´ve read some heavy book.
No wonder that I´ve got heavy eyes.
Year by year year passed by and I´ve learned in the school of live.
Year by year passed by and I´ve learned to survive.

I realized what makes me smile, what makes me sad
I realized what is good and what is bad.

chorus:
Deep in me. Deep in me. There are pictures of my life and if I´m sometimes sad I close my eyes and go on the spree Deep in me. Deep in me. Deeper as my heart, as my soul, as my fate. Yes deeper as the deepest sea. Deep in me.

I can see my fathers eyes watching on me. I can see my mothers smile. All the friends I´v met on this long way. All that laughing is passing by.

I realized what makes me smile, what makes me sad
I realized what is good and what is bad.

chorus


6. TIME AFTER TIME

With the match-box in the hand is it too late to turn back.
You are now at yours wits end. The sun is gone and the night is so black.

Now all have to come and must listen what you say.
Now all have to come cause you've changed the night to day.

chorus:
Time after time you've tried to meet with approval.
Time after time you have missed your aim.
Time after time but no one could hear you.
Time after time ever and again.

The flames begins and are burning high.
You stand there in the blazing heat.
From inside you still hear a cry.
There's no doubt that you have the lead.

Now all have to come and must listen what you say.
Now all have to come cause you've changed the night to day.

chorus


7. WATERFALL

(instrumental)


8. TAKE ME AWAY

I am sure that the spirit of the age is creeping like a snail.
And you see it speak for itself that the world lies under a veil.
If we find no way out we'll disappear into space.
But it is not my style just to wait and to pull a long face.

Common people may sit alone at home
but I don't wanna be alone
And that's the reason why I need you.

chorus:
Take me away, take me away. Together we will win the day.
And together we will take our own line.
Yes come on take me away, take me away. I don't say that in play.
Before we go into a decline.

I know that there's not need to stay and no need to beat the air.
It is better to speak out your mind then to live free from care.
If we find no way out we'll disappear into space.
But it is not my style just to wait and to pull a long face.

Common people may sit alone at home
but I don't wanna be alone
And that's the reason why I need you.

chorus


9. WHAT I WANT

(instrumental)


10. ON THE ROAD

Some of you will say that I just waste my time and that you are better off than me.
But I believe that I have the rightto go my own way and find my goal.
So let me spin my destiny by myself.

I search my heart for the right direction.
I search my heart to find my way.

chorus:
I´m on the road far from home maybe it´s a long way round
I´m on the road far from home but there´s the same blue sky.
I´m on the road far from home that´s like a voyage of discovery.
I´m on the road far from home on the road until I die.

A candle-light shining is not bright enough for me.
Yes I need the light that makes me sweat.
I stood a long time in the shadow but I nevermore wanna miss the light.
I stood a long time in the shadow but now I´m here.

I search my heart for the right direction.
I search my heart to find my way.

chorus
