1. ABANDONED WORLD

Welcome to the abandoned world
Where the people never say a word
They just close their eyes.

My life starts as a restless heart
Mind and soul where never left alone.
I was fearful and so I would hide.

Then one day as I sat to pray
I was heard by something high above.
It's coming even closer, I know.
Will it help me out?

Sometimes I think that I'm losing
All my senses
Frightened of what I'm becoming.
But I know that I can't help them if they just
Make way for kingdoms that I've heard of.

People heard me wherever I went,
The voices that were calling me
Could be heaven sent.

Passing on this sacred word people came to
Hear me more and more, so I struggled on
Saving their souls.

Sometimes I think that I'm losing
All my senses
Frightened of what I'm becoming.
But I know that I won't sacrifice ???
I'm not sure if they believe me
Is it really my soul that they'll see?

(Tune your guitar to D and pick as
Hard as possible on the strings!)

What have you done, can't you see?
I'm in complete misery.
What have you done, can't you see?
I'm in complete misery.

Will insanity stop me from saving myself?
Oh, please hear me cry
As I pray for you to save me, please,
Don't abandon me...


2. THE WANDERING

This endless tale takes its toll and life begins
To wonder what will you do?
You live this whole life through, favour your path,
Though many times it may (seem hard).

Be men of soul, flesh and blood is proof in glory,
You may rule the victory inside,around you
Faith lies thick, in the presence you play the fool.

Hold on tight, you think that you are right
The things you did last night, sentences ment
To harm, cut up something deep inside,
Memories that you tried to hide.
You'll believe their awful lies, luck many turn so roll the dice.
Then you'll find, piece of your mind, in love.

(Blues according to Asp)

Be men of soul, flesh and blood is proof in glory,
You may rule the victory inside, around you
Faith lies thick, in the presence you play the fool.

Hold on tight, you think that you are right
The things you did last night, sentences ment
To harm, cut up something deep inside,
Memories that you tried to hide.
You'll believe their awful lies, luck may turn so roll the dice.
Then you'll find, piece of your mind, in love.

(Hermans ballet lesson break)

Hold on tight, you think that you are right
The things you did last night, sentences ment
To harm, cut up something deep inside,
Memories that you tried to hide.
You'll believe their awful lies, luck may turn so roll the dice.
Then you'll find, piece of your mind, in love.


3. WALTZ WITH MOTHER NATURE

As you look into your mind
Think about the things that you might see
Vision from the great beyond
Clearly your react, you'll respond

And as the moon will tell it's tales...
You will never fail

Now is the time to open up
(Now is the time to open up)
To look into your precious universe

Something inside is calling you
Believe it or not you will know what to do
To fly oh to fly so high
Something inside is calling you
Believe it or not you will know what to do
To fly, to feel a natural high

Precisous is the mask you wear
You call it skin you also call it hair
Breathing is to give and take
Her love will fill our lungs as he'll wake

And mother nature tells her tales
We will never fail

Now is the time to open up
(Now is the time to open up)
To look into your precious universe

Something inside is calling you
Believe it or not you will know what to do
To fly oh to fly so high
Something inside is calling you
Believe it or not you will know what to do
To fly, to feel a natural high

Something inside is calling you
Believe it or not you will know what to do
To fly oh to fly so high
Something inside is calling you
Believe it or not you will know what to do
To fly, to feel a natural high


4. WHY BOTHER

Take my hand and we'll walk through eternity,
What is there left to give?
Nobody ever takes you seriously.
Lift up your arms and we'll jump right out
Through empty space.
You took your own life,
But there's no one here left to blame.
At the final stage, there's no one you can get past through,
My destiny, I'm glad to see you all.

Why bother? Why even care?
You're gone now, there's nothing left to say.
Who cared for you? Who really did?
You're gone now, there's nothing left to say.

Smell the air as you run through the clouds with me.
Can you believe it's true?
Nobody ever really cares for you.
Laugh as we fly, punch a hole right
Through the clear-blue sky.
You'll hold on to life so tight,
You'll never see the day turn into night.
And at the final stage, there's nothing left to hold on to,
You cannot see, the sadness in us all.

Why bother? Why even care?
You're gone now, there's nothing left to say.
Who cared for you? Who really did?
You're gone now, there's nothing left to say.

(motto vivo con fuoco a piacere)

Why bother? Why even care?
You're gone now, there's nothing left to say.
Who cared for you? Who really did?
You're gone now, there's nothing left to say.


5. TODAY'S REPORT

Happy birthday to a new-born dream.
Somewhere around the globe can't you see?


6. WELCOME

All these people that I've gathered,
They all have one thing in common.
And they know it will fulfil their dreams.

As we travelled through the ages,
All we saw was death and hunger.
Still we knew we would succeed at last.

We started to hear voices all around us,
Saying things we had never heard before.
They told us that humanity was falling,
Then we knew what we were supposed to do.

Come visit me,
Everyone is welcome here.
Don't be afraid,
I will stand by your side.

Come dance with me,
Everyone is free to join.
If you join my world,
Nature will support you.

You can watch us on the TV,
The preacher on the program that's me.
Now I have a house in Beverly.

If you're blind, unable to see.
You just send some money to me.
With my hands in perfect health you'll be.

We claim that we hear voices all around us,
Nothing else but a trick for media.
We told you that humanity was falling,
Might be true but there's nothing we can do.

Come visit me,
Everyone is welcome here.
Don't be afraid,
I will stand by your side.

Come dance with me,
Everyone is free to join.
If you join my world,
Nature will support you.

(symphonic beauty)

Come visit me,
Everyone is welcome here.
Don't be afraid,
I will stand by your side.

Come dance with me,
Everyone is free to join.
If you join my world,
nature will support you.


7. CAT EYES

The rain has fallen, too many times,
In silence sits the poet, forgotten are his rhymes.
There's no way you can see him coming,
He knows where to hide in the night he's the groom
And sorrow is his bride.
In the summer he'd see you passing by,
You were talking to the angels,
You would see them as they'd fly,
So you liked to hear the music,
Those choirs of the night you'd be dancing with the angels,
Under the moons clear light...

Cat eyes, where did you go?
Did you tell him so??
(You put a mark on his heart and you tattooed his soul.)
You made him forget, his purpose, his goal
And I don't know why but you'll surely know;
cat eyes, you will surely know.

You'd watch him from your great blue heaven,
You'd watch his every move, you'd hear the songs he'd be singing.
You could hear every line;
you'd call on our attention you'd say: "Once he was mine".
And now we're standing face to face
Riding the sky in all our grace,
You know I'll be there,
I'll make you see I will stand by you all through eternity.

Cat eyes, where did you go?
Did you tell him so??
(You put a mark on his heart and you tattooed his soul.)
You made him forget, his purpose, his goal
And I don't know why but you'll surely know;
cat eyes, you will surely know.

(secret messages)

And now we're standing face to face
Riding the sky in all our grace,
You know I'll be there,
I'll make you see I will stand by you all through eternity.

Cat eyes, where did you go?
Did you tell him so??
(You put a mark on his heart and you tattooed his soul.)
You made him forget, his purpose, his goal
And I don't know why but you'll surely know;
cat eyes, you will surely know...


8. THE CHASE

I'm hanging out in this nightmare
Where voices call from everywhere.
I cannot move, kill him! They scream, kill him again!
I don't care about this earthling life,
I might as well go away to the other side.

My body keeps on trembling,
My limbs are really down and stiff,
I hit myself in desperate attempts just to wake myself up.

Still the voices keep yelling my name,
Save me from this wicked game.
My body's filled with cold and sweat,
My mouth is dry, am I about to die?

(brutale presto possibile)

Why do they leave me now?
Don't they feel no sense of guilt?
As I will figure it out somehow.
It's like climbing up that endless hill,
Not coming down.

My eyes are bleeding of things I cannot see,
I try to fight; I won't get free...


9. PERSONALITIES (THE LONG ONE)


10. FOREPLAY
(INSTRUMENTAL)


11. PIECE OF MEAT

When you know that you can't get it up,
I wonder why you just don't stop.
Well, you just pretend there's someone else
In your bed, but you know, it ain't so.
You're right back where you started out before.

This bad habit must be stopped,
Respect the women not their butts.
I guess it's a case of bigamy,
Can he see? That I envy him,
Somehow; I really want to be like him.

Black, white, green, red, they end up in my bed.
Sometimes I think it's gone above my head.
Still it seems that I just can't get it up,
When the right moment's there.
It hangs like a piece of meat.


12. TINNITUS (INSTRUMENTAL)


13. LORDS OF LIES

Do you know what I just saw?
People walk around with concrete in their jaws.
It's a new method that dentists use.
Keep the teeth in place when they get loose.

So look into my eyes, you'll see the lord of lies,
Cross my fingers I swear this is true.

Something weird occurred today,
The president called me up and said, come out and play!
He's got a new toy from the CIA
Guaranteed to blow your mind away.

So look into his eyes, he is the lord of lies,
With just one look you can tell he's a crook!!

You'll believe in all I say,
Even if I'd tell you that my wife was gay!!
Some might say that I've blown a fuse.
Some might even call it wife abuse!!!

So look into my eyes, I am the lord of lies,
Cross my fingers I swear this is true.


14. EMELY (MS AMNESIA)
(INSTRUMENTAL)


15. INSOMNIAC

(He's awake.)
Oh, will you believe him; he just can't fall asleep.
(Something's wrong.)
He's so very tired; still he can't fall asleep.
Walking about in he's search for
Something to make him go numb.
He's already tried every pill in the pharmacy.

(He's awake.)
He's twisting and turning, soon he will see the dawn.
(Fast asleep.)
By now they're all sleeping, is he the only one (still awake)?
Counting them sheep will not help him,
Math only makes him confused.
The timer is set; he'll be up with the morning show.
(Good morning Kentucky.)

What is he gonna do, to fall asleep just like you do?
Is it worth crying for the nap that he is dying for?
While we are in Utopia, he is lost in Insomnia.
So goodnight, please sleep tight.
You'll never know if it's day or night...
Close your eyes.

(He's awake.)
Oh, God I am tired, still I can't sleep at night.
(Still awake.)
My sore eyes are aching I've been awake too long.
Medical treatment that's what I need.
Put me in bed and give me a dream.
Maybe if I hit my head on a stone I'll faint...

What is he gonna do, to fall asleep just like you do?
Is it worth crying for the nap that he is dying for?
While we are in Utopia, he is lost in Insomnia.
So goodnight, please sleep tight.
You'll never know if it's day or night...
Close your eyes.

What if the ruler of dreams can't find?
The place he goes to control my mind.
Maybe he's lost his ability
To fascinate the world above me...

While we are in Utopia, he is lost in Insomnia.
So goodnight, please sleep tight.
You'll never know if it's day or night...
Close your eyes.


16. CONCLUDING SPEECH

And as the great magicians we all are,
It is time to swing our wands, goodnight.
