1. WENN DER LETZTE SCHATTEN FALLT

(Instrumental)


2. GEFALLEN

Warum ist Dir auf Deiner Suche
Kein Opfer zu groß
Um zu erreichen was ich verfluche
Gibst Du Dich auf
Warum ist Dir die Akzeptanz
Oberstes Gebot
Siehst Du nicht der Wahrheit Glanz
Tief in Dir

Ich hab zu viele Engel fallen sehen
Unter dem Rad der Zeit
Seelenleer und entstellt
Wenn der letzte Schatten fällt

Warum erkennst Du nicht einmal
Im letzten Augenblick
Daß Du ein Leben nur aus Lügen lebtest
Ohne klar zu sehen

Daß das Gesicht unter der Maske ist
Zur Fratze nun entstellt
Daß nichts mehr von Dir übrig ist
Was Dich zusammenhält

Ich hab zu viele Engel fallen sehen
Unter dem Rad der Zeit
Seelenleer und entstellt
Wenn der letzte Schatten fällt


3. CHANGES

Another daybreak waking up
Drinking from a bitter cup
That's somehow sweet and oh, so tender
This poison confirms my surrender

Surrendering to all day life
No more wars and no more strife
Stars upon a deep, dark sky
I bow down, and I ask why

But in the end it all stays the same
No changes made, no lessons learned
Am I the one who is to blame
For smashing crowns that I have earned

New possibilities each day
They offer me a different way
To live, to walk, or just to breathe
Or lead me into misery

I am just as small as you
Although I do not want me to
With all the powers I possess
I'm just afraid of loneliness

But in the end it all stays the same
No changes made, no lessons learned
Am I the one who is to blame
For smashing crowns that I have earned

Let me dream here of a freedom
That will never be my own
If I do not pay the price
Of forever being alone

But in the end it all stays the same
No changes made, no lessons learned
Am I the one who is to blame
For smashing crowns that I have earned


4. ANOTHER DAY

As I sit along the shore
Of my wishes and my dreams
My Pride lies scattered on the floor
With the fading sunlight beams

My thoughts embraced by nothingness
mindwaves passing by so slow
I long for your tender caress
As innocent as young fresh snow

As the silence fades away
I gather strength for another day
Another Day I've to go through
Another day here, without you (x2)

To flee from my addiction
I go out, to seek the voices
That speak an empty benediction
Of hollow words and empty choices

But these words, they keep me sane
Until the moment you return
Where I let go of all the pain
Free of anger and concern

As the silence fades away
I gather strength for another day
Another Day I've to go through
Another day here, without you (x2)

When I hold you in my arms
The silence, that I did evade
Turns into voices screaming joy
And my pain to rest is laid

And I feel your warmth and love
As it into me doth flow
I come to only one conclusion
I will never let you go


5. ICH GAB DIR ALLES

Ich gab dir alles
Meine Seele, mein Licht
Doch wo bist du jetzt
Ich seh' nur dein Gesicht
In einem Traum so fern
Der mir einst so nah
In einer Zeit der Liebe
In einer Zeit so wunderbar

Ich stieß den Stern herab
Nur für dich
Ich fiel vor meinem Stolz
Nur für dich
Ich verneinte mein Wesen
Nur für dich
Ich kniete vor dem Schwert
Nur für dich
Ich wurde krank und schwach
Nur für dich
Tat ich es ohne Grund
Nur für dich

Ich gab dir alles
Meine Seele, mein Licht
Doch wo bist du jetzt
Ich seh' nur dein Gesicht
In einem Traum so fern
Der mir einst so nah
In einer Zeit der Liebe
In einer Zeit so wunderbar


6. TEARS IN THE RAIN

Hollow cries and fading faces
Searching all those empty places
Alone in pain, alone in fear
And rain washes away my final tear (my final tear..)

The words I suffered in decay
Leave me no more room to stay
The things that you have said to me
Are washed away along with my memory (with my memory..)

We are all lost
Like tears in the rain
And the water from above
Kills the final flame

Dreams I've dreamed, and wishes ceased
I feel the inner demon's pleased
The wheel keeps turning endlessly
I let the rain fall down on me

The gentle water flowing down
The collapsed soul that wants to drown
This was my kingdom, now it's lost
In the gentle rain I trust

We are all lost
Like tears in the rain
And the water from above
Kills the final flame


7. STERN

(Instrumental)


8. CLOSE YOUR EYES

Embraced in the somber darkness
Muted and blinded by desire
Thoughts flow into nothingness
The mortal shell burns on the pyre

Two bodies they float into one
The world around us fades
Like in the evening does the sun
In our small cascades

Close your eyes and come with me
Into my own reality
Where no chains do bind our souls
Where we can roam eternally

No fear does trap us in this hour
Nothing hold us back tonight
Come with me my fragile flower
March with me towards the light

Don't be shy, this little pain
Is just the price you have to pay
Its oh so small, for what you gain
These are the final words I say

Close your eyes and come with me
Into my own reality
Where no chains do bind our souls
Where we can roam eternally


9. AT THE END

Trodden paths they seem outdated
Too many reasons I have stated
The path divides, I have to decide
A new life, a new way to stride

Hollow eyes are watching me
Tell me which way to go
do not believe the fading footsteps
In this winter's snow

Hear the thunders coming down
Dreams of forbidden lands where I do drown
Here at the hilltop proud I stand
A new beginning at the end

Trees that have seen many ages
I hear them speak to me
Moving forward, hide away
The consequence is hard to see

Reflecting 'bout what might be
A life of lust and restlessness
Or full of love, and warm retreat
The goods I currently possess

Hear the thunders coming down
Dreams of forbidden lands where I do drown
Here at the hilltop proud I stand
A new beginning at the end


10. IN THE HEART OF EUROPE

Our landscape raped by different armies
Soldiers, slaves who have no faces
Control our ways and lives completely
Our minds are torn, time left its traces

Controlled by TV screens and letters
That point out assimilation
To trends and movements from outside
Fall victim to this infiltration

Here in the heart of Europe
No one stands up proud no more
Here in the heart of Europe
Our culture is a dying whore (x2)

No room for individuality
Grey masses who think one way only
More like robots through the streets
In our thinking we stand lonely

Once a land of art and culture
Now slave to streams from outside
Our nation's culture, doomed and dying
Like a candle's fading light.

Here in the heart of Europe
No one stands up proud no more
Here in the heart of Europe
Our culture is a dying whore (x2)

Our landscape raped by different armies
Soldiers, slaves who have no faces
Control our ways and lives completely
Our minds are torn, time left its traces

Everybody's just consuming
What the media's dictating
And they all have just forgot
The joy that is to creating

Here in the heart of Europe
No one stands up proud no more
Here in the heart of Europe
Our culture is a dying whore (x3)
