Lyrics


1. KILLING GROUND

They do the things all soldiers do
While they`re waiting to die
Writing letters to their friends
That will never be delivered

They have dreams about escaping
Getting away underneath the fence
And being, once more reunited
With their families and friends

Sitting calmly in the barracks
From where they watch the guards
Standing at the main gate
Smoking and playing cards

But this remains just wishful thinking
Deep inside they all know
There`s no escape from this place
A dead end is as far as they can go


2. FALLEN HERO

They called me the tragic hero
They avoided my company
My names were only whispered
Just a tale for a moonless night

Fallen hero fits much better
To describe my true fate
Once a fighter for the light
Reduced to an observer

And again I hear the voices
A distant thunder through the night
The angel of destruction
Summoning her fellows for the fight

Now the time has come and yet you stand alone
The enemy is mighty and too strong
Without any help you will lose on your own
So you call out for me to come along

Now this can turn my fate
Revive my true confession
To be a fighter once again
Standing here by your side

This might be my last mission
The final fight for mankind
Reunited on the eve of the apocalypse


3. NO TOMORROW

I met her in a restaurant
A face that you will not forget
A character you will not find
In a thousand women you have met

Here she comes with a load of sorrows
I don`t care if there`s no tomorrow
Tonight, yes tonight, I feel good
And tomorrow worse than I should

Her body in perfect shape
A smile that will turn you down
Resistance is impossible
You could only give in


4. FRIENDLY FIRE

Within a few seconds their jets came over the hill
Strafing the soldiers raining fire on their people
An unintended sacrifice of their own lives
The soldiers at the front – killed by their own nation

They all died in friendly fire
And the flames are rising higher
They are here to hold the ground
To defend what they have found

A casualty list in the news will be a helpful tool
Creating fear and hatred supporters of a war
A necessary means to an end killing their own soldiers
Publicity for a new war – to get all of the votes


5. NAVIGATOR

We sometimes want to be led by
The hand of a higher creature
So we just have to follow
The direction of the navigator

Follow me, just follow me!


6. HOUSE OF SORROWS

Locked away in rooms and routines
But some things are worse than walls
Never ending grief surrounds us
And sometimes I can hear their calls
But I prefer not to notice
What there was and has been
The ugly truth locked away
Will forget what I have seen

So i`m looking for a hell dimension
Where everyday is smile-time
Where there`s no need for action
A place devoid of crime
But pleasantville is far too boring
I have almost lost my mind
It`s better to face the facts
There is no better truth to find

And again I stare at the truth I couldn`t bare
Not today and not tomorrow
There`s no escape from the house of sorrows
And again I stare at the truth I couldn`t bare
The tragedies of my past
This feeling will forever last
I`m in the house of sorrows


7. THOUGHTS OF A SOLDIER

It never was and never will be
The sun setting beyond horizons
It always was and ever will be
The earth which keeps on turning

The world moved on and left me here
The world moved on and left me here
The world moved on and left me here
The world moved on and left me here

The world moved on and left me here
Without any direction
I feel hopeless without fear
Facing this selection

The emptiness crowds in around me
No distractions from my thoughts
Remembering the last words
It won`t be long, I promise

The world moved on and left me here
The world moved on and left me here
The world moved on and left me here
The world moved on and left me here


8. STRONGHOLD

Our shields are all down
Nothing can hold them back
An overwhelming force came for just one reason

They came with a thousand ships
And soldiers by the million
Blasterfire smashed our shields
They all came tumbling down

Once they win
Once they drop their guard
We will hit them
We will hit them hard
This fight is lost
This fight will end our reign
But we will return
Our light will shine again

Obviously, there is so much
- so much worth fighting for
And too few men are left to hold the ground
- to hold the ground

Finally it is time – it`s time to retreat
Assembling all our forces in our last stronghold


9. STARFIGHTERS

A dream finally came true
To wear this special uniform
To join in their company
The best of the best

Always been a believer
In your own capacity
The training never was too hard
No one could break you

Reach out for the stars
Your strong will got you here
You walked a stony way
Without the slightest sign of fear

We`re starfighters, fly all day and all night
And all that we see is our cockpit light
We`re starfighters and we love it so much
It`s our obsession, we have the master`s touch

It was an everlasting dream
The last thing you wish to see:
Flying into a supernova
While you are going down


10. REJECT

A big crowd controlled by fear
Always underestimated
But beware of the time
When they will break loose

Why do we always forget
That there are more of us
We have the chance to overcome them
We have the chance to break free

Reject the lies you`ve been told
Reject the system spreading it
Do not put your life on hold
Do not believe all this shit!

We have always held the power
Now it`s time to seize it back
Just a matter of being fearless
And the will to use it now

We have been so disillusioned
We have been rather blind
Now we awake slowly
And rise from the dead


11. THE END

Was it an act of evolution or a mistake more divine?
The creation of mankind a million years ago
Too few of them can be convinced about the truth of life
The majority of men – still fighting for their own ends

Chorus girls in uniform like fallen angels by my side
Celebrating the modern age
The devil wins this fight
In the end we are condemned to go down with our race
Too much destroyed already
We have reached the end of days

We have reached the final chapter
We are almost at the end
The time we have remaining is better wisely spent


12. FÜR DICH

Dein anblick ist die beste medizin
Du führst mich in den himmel
Schenkst mir dein adrenalin
Durch deine venen fließ mein blut
Das gefühl deiner nähe relektiert
So tief und so gut
Wir sind voneinander besessen
Nichts halt uns je mehr auf
Zum himmel von schwerkraft befreit
Nimm mich mit auf die reise
Zeig mir den weg der offenherzigkeit
Nur erfüllt mit deiner liebe

Dieses lied ist nur für dich
Seine gültigeit erhalten
Selbst wenn mein weg zu ende ist
Leb deinen traum, leb dein leben!
Und sei dir stets beusst:
Immer werd` ich dich begleiten


13. VORWÄRTS!

Unzerstörbar zieh`n wir unsere bahn
Keine müh` zu groß, kein weg zu lang
Will uns jemand stören, warden wir`s nicht hören!
Keine zeit vertan und nichts versäumt
Alle hindernisse aus dem weg geräumt
Wir gehen volles tempo
Stoppen kann uns nur der tod!

Prognose
Aussicht
Diagnose
Scheiß drauf! scheiß drauf!

Unsere körper sind der motor, unser wille das benzin
Mit ungebändigter schaffenskraft warden wir weiter zieh`n
Mit euch an unserer seite, das ziel fest im blick
Unaufhalstam vorwärts
– für uns gibt`s kein zurück!

Prognose – negative
Aussicht – keine
Diagnose – tödlich
Scheiß drauf! scheiß drauf!

Wir stürmen vorwärtss!
Unsere kinder, unsere väter, unsere mütter
– für alle, die uns wichtig sind!
Unsere freunde, die geliebten, die getreuen
– un allen, die uns wichtig sind!

Vorwärts!
Vorwärts!
Vorwärts!
Folgt uns, wenn ihr könnt!

Unzerstörbar zieh`n wir unsere bahn
Keine müh` zu groß, kein weg zu lang
Will uns jemand stören, warden wir`s nicht hören!
Wer sich in den weg uns stellt
Ist einfach dumm oder doch ein held
Doch siegen warden diese helden nie
Denn helden sterben früh!

Feuer über den wolken
Stürme am himmel
Fluten auf erden –
Nichts halt uns auf!

Wir stürmen vorwärts!
Unsere freiheit, unsere ehre, unser stolz
– für alles, was uns wichtig ist!
Für die wahrheit, für die liebe, für den hass
– für alles, was uns wichtig ist!

Vorwärts!
Vorwärts!
Vorwärts!
Folgt uns, wenn ihr könnt!

15. FALLEN HERO

They called me the tragic hero
They avoided my company
My names were only whispered
Just a tale for a moonless night

Fallen hero fits much better
To describe my true fate
Once a fighter for the light
Reduced to an observer

And again I hear the voices
A distant thunder through the night
The angel of destruction
Summoning her fellows for the fight

Now the time has come and yet you stand alone
The enemy is mighty and too strong
Without any help you will lose on your own
So you call out for me to come along

Now this can turn my fate
Revive my true confession
To be a fighter once again
Standing here by your side

This might be my last mission
The final fight for mankind
Reunited on the eve of the apocalypse
