2. TRAVELLING TO THE PAST

and the (time) machine is moving, just above the time,
the wheels of time are singing, and the years are passing by,
warriors of the helvetic cross, standing in front of the line,
I was sent by the sky, step on the break and stay

abwarte...ushaute....d johr länke...
Zyt schänke..

if you ever forget this holy place, the legends are going to die.
used to be a fighter in this twillight place, for only to tell this tale

and the future was gone, only (the) darkness still hung around
the perfect sign for to come, für ds cho..
I hope for a place, where the winds are screaming so nice,
travelling through the time is tough

a bell rings in the wind, as my machine stopped in time

now, I am telling you an ancient tale, a tale of ancient man.
a man from a land not far away, travelling to the past.

from a year I came, the seeds of the slavery,
nothing here can stop my way,
have seen it all before it goes on forever, and more..
the time of another chapter is near.

abwarte...ushaute....d johr länke...
Zyt schänke..

the future......was gone.......only darkness.......hung around!

and the future was gone, only (the) darkness still hung around
the perfect sign for to come, für ds cho..
I hope for a place, where the winds are screaming so nice,
travelling through the time is tough

u kämpfe.....

the machine has stopped in the year 1386,
please enjoy the journey


3. THE QUEST

Leopolds quest through Zofingen to Willsau started,
on july the eight on a summerday,
freedom now, for the austrian-king, my lords,
he is taking the future on his own tale,

hail to the banner, spear and shields,
the quest to Sempach, in order to fight

(a) dark cloudbank in the east, the silence before the storm,
(the) austrian lord is sending out his messengers,
commands have been given, hornsound across the sky,
the waiting has begun, under control of the night

let us stay till the helmets are broken
we fight for leopolds right..

quest to the battle of the helvetic armies,
the curse of the future, it goes along with you,
quest to the battle of the helvetic armies,
pages of historical tales are telling you the ancient news.

the machine drops me off, at the forest nearby the pack
my hands are bleeding wounds, but the way must go on
I feel the steps of the austrian knights on the ground
the landing was wrong, I can't wait for too long

gang awäg.....it is the wrong place in the middle of these trees,
reis awäg.....to the territory with confederation breeze..

travelling away........through the hole .......to another place....
away from enemies......of this time......to the city of lakes..

und i reise, eifach witer, an angere ort, äs isch gschider,
schauter drücke, eifach witer, glichi sekunde, 1000m witer...

äs isch jetz sowit, ig ha scho fasch gnue vo de reise dür die zyt,
uheiligi schmärze, die löh mir ke rueh, zum glück ischs nümme so wyt!


4. I LOST MY SOUL

I'd go through the hole of time, where the lights are shining bright ,
s liecht das schiint
like a rebirth through a firewall, I feel my aching skin,
he takes me to the other side, somewhere at the lake, uf äm See
between green meadows (and) people they pray, lonely warrior - take a break..

aaahhhh.......
..I lost my soul in this place, like visions of (a) brave world,
I lost my soul, verlorini seeu

lands belonging to my mother, lies golden to my feet, zu de füess
I want to stay forever - here, but it's not very real,
a cosy village on the lake side in middle of a place, schwizer platz
knights with banners, shields and knifes waiting for revenge.

In my life and in my brain, I would never travel again,
inside myself I was wrong, this is the right place to stay and to pray
...I lost my soul

swiss-german part
I däm dorf vo de helvetische lüt go zwohne -das, das wär doch rächt, nümm reise dür die zyt u hie blibe zum wohne
Jo das wär nid schlächt,
sie luege zu de aute hüser us, u gseh witwäg mi gschtaut,
würd häufe u kämpfe dass es frei blibt euer huus,
u freiheit fürs ganze land...
i bi gschpannt....

I lost my soul


5. CALLA PALUSTRIS (THE DRAGONROOT)

tears in her eyes, left home as heroes,
they crossed the hills, they fought for glory,
warriors, when they returned, blamed for all the damage,
she is in your memory all the time

chorus
we`ll remember until the morning light
calla palustris on your side,
she is the guardian of the night,
between armour and skin of the austrian knights

he died by the battle nearby the lake,
somewhere on a dirty ground,
the skin must go, the seeds are rising,
somewhere on this dirty ground.

the death brings you the seeds of the flowers,
in the middle of an ancient land.

when you are wandering through this town,
smell the flowers with the white crowns,
then you think it's never too late,
they are the victims, damned to die


6. THE FOOL AND THE KING (PART I)

the night is dark the night is still, I'm waiting for my time,
somewhere on my way to the churchhill, this is the another line
I saw the moonlight on this lake, (my) machine takes a break
I saw the fool in his secret cache.

welcome to the old forest, my king has deadly fears,
my king has frozen tears, my lord must go back,
Gods of this mountain, they have no understanding,
enemies in the distance, you must (go) back

the time has come - we all know, this is your only time
we all know where we have to go, on your way back home
this is the time of the last regret, your mission is now done
the opposition of the secret....

...armies under different flags, in the morning sun,
waiting down at the lake,
my king you must turn around now, around now,
the judgement day has passed by

he's the fool and you're the king, the enemies are growing stronger,
he's the fool and you're the king, helvetic spears are longer.
he's the fool and you're the king, you are the liar,
he's the fool and you're the king, I think it is your desire.

take your chance and turn the key, take it and turn the key
open the door to another history, to another history
here`s no future - no demand, no future no demand,
here`s the place for my dreamland.

Dr Heini vo Uri am Chönig si Narr,
Dr Heini vo Uri u sini Wort mache klar,
Dr Heini vo Uri macht am Chönig Bei,
Dr Heini vo Uri seit öich, göt doch hei!


8. THE WARRIOR

how many miles you walked away (bisch furtgloffe)
so many times you had to pray (hesch bättet)
so many nights you didn`t sleep (hesch nid chönne schlofe)
far away in your own land (wit äwäg i dim eigete Land)
deep inside your strange minds (frömdi gedanke)
works a force we've never seen (wo mir nie wärde gseh)
it's not so bad, think of it all the time (dänk immer dra)
we think, you are the chosen one (du bisch dr userwäudnig)

you're the master of the dreams
you`re the king of the minds
maybe you're the chosen one....
warrior of Heinrichswil

now, it's the time for standing up (zyt zum ufschto)
remember, you`re not alone (bisch nid allei)
spread it now, the tales of your life (gschichte vo dim läbe)
and think....you`re the chosen one (du bisch dr userwäudnig)

far away in a strange land, a warrior fights alone
the war against the armies of the force in his mind
...and illusions must to go.

lost in the tale of the forgotten ones
searching for the lights, that are going on
behind the mask of the normality
searching the ways for reality

was isch normau, was isch dr masschtab, das entscheidet gsöuschaft!


9. WE ARE THE KINGS

now its time that my journey starts, my pain my sins and the broken parts,
this is the end sowewhere in time, and my machine stopped at the front - at the lines.
the gods decided, what was right, what was wrong, alone in this timehole I was lost, sunlight shines, that unleashed the storm, time for the heroes, now it's the time for the rebirth.

fight, against the armie of hate, fight, or it is too late,
fight against the armies of the lord, fight with your helvetic swords.

....back as a man of the Gods, as a hero in whom we trust,
immortal lands in the sky, I waiting for my time..

now it's time to say goodbye, a warrior in the front of the line,
take care of my wife and my son, in the next dimension I will come...

a lane against (the) enemies, I will gain, with spears in my hands until (the) darkest night,
a lane against (the) enemies, I will gain, for my land for my son and for my wife

we are kings, we are fighting through this time
we are kings, a man catches the spears in line,
we are kings, he died for the futures rimes,
we are kings, these are the forgotten signs.

he fights the black to save the truth, he fights against the secret lies,
the wall of enemies he will destroy, fight with spears till they die.

now its time to say goodbye, a warrior in the front of the line,
take care of my wife and my son, in next dimension I will come...


10. RETURN OF THE DRAGONSLAYER

the first time you have spoken the holy words,
I will die, I felt my own sword,
and my journey is rushing through me like the blood deep in my veins,
here are the warriors of a small land, but I remember your name

warrior, a son of the freedom, warrior you are not unknown,
warrior, a friend of all those I need, warrior you`re never alone.

with lots of spears - her, facing the death,
the fights are beginning here, but one man starts this war,
the brave one tried to make this time, the time in a humen lane,
don`t cry, (try) to understand that I feel the pain.

unus pro omnibus - omnes pro uno, these are the words of the one,
unus pro omnibus - omnes pro uno, the last words of the one.

return of the dragonslayer, the warrior of the chosen ones,
return of the dragonslayer, the last hero under the sun,
return of the dragonslayer, immortal life so beautyful,
return of the dragonslayer, your pain won`t leave your soul.

with lots of spears - her, facing the death,
the fights are beginning here, but one man starts this war

warrior, a son of the freedom, warrior you are not unknown,
warrior, a friend of all those I need, warrior you`re never alone

ir erschte Zyt hani die heilige Wörter gsproche,
i ha gseit, i wott stärbe für mi Sohn und mi Frou,
einzig mit mim Schwärt i mire Hang,
wird i die schwäri Reis aträtte,
aber dir, dir wärdet mir Gedänke, ime chline Land e Kämpfer,
wo für immer e Heud wott blibe
the first time when i saw you,
I will die, for my son and for my wife

the brave one tried to make this time, the time in a humen lane,
don`t cry, (try) to understand that I feel the pain.
