1. CURTAIN RAISER

Wann ist das eigene Leben vollkommen ?
Wann ist es die Welt ?
Was bedeutet für uns Glück ?
Was steht ihm im Weg ?
Stehen wir uns selbst im Weg ?
Verklären wir die Realität ?
Die Reise fängt hier an...


2. BRAND OF CAIN

We are deflected from our path
A tempting demon
A face unmasked
My brow is marked
With the brand of Cain
A steady downpour
Soaked through with rain

You wait to hear me say forgive
The more I suffer
The more you live
My confidence
Your jealousy
I'm cursed, bound, lost
In slavery

I couldn't go along with that
I feel so cold
If I were dead

Collected moments
May last for years
Our diary brings me to tears
Drifting apart
No renaissance
I bid farewell
To a second chance

I couldn't go
I feel so cold

I couldn't go along with that
I feel so cold
If I were dead

I couldn't go along with that
I curse the day on which we met


3. RICHTFEST

Im Schädel den Wahnsinn
An den Händen das Blut
Statt dem Herzen eine Stelle
Wo Eiseskälte ruht

Allmachtsfantasien
Vortrefflich kaschiert
Hinter biederer Fassade
Die Perversion regiert

"Niemand wird verstehen
Woran wir uns weiden
Das wunderbare Glück
Kann ich nur mit dir teilen"

Mit der Leiche im Keller
Lebt's sich ungeniert
Stets lächelnd und freundlich
Die Menschlichkeit verliert

Dieser Ort verschluckt Schreie
Hört kein Betteln, hört kein Flehen
Dieser Ort ist gewidmet
Um ein Richtfest zu begehen


4. UPSTAIRS

I dissociate the memory
Torn apart and depressive
Apathy
Loss of time
My whole being's a nightmare
I am scared
Who am I?
Knight errant
In armour
Alter ego
My wall
In a moment of shelter
I stumble and fall
I dissociate the memory

Temporary mental escape
From pain
Temporary mental escape
From fear
I'm losing touch
I dissociate the memory

I am going straight upstairs
To a room in my head
I am going straight upstairs
I just want to forget


5. WEGWEISER

Ich bin das Dutzend leuchtender Sterne
Auf blauem Grund zum Kreis gereiht
Ich bin das Licht menschlicher Wärme
Weis' Dir den Weg durch Freud und Leid

Ich bin der Gipfel Deiner Sorgen
Und das Tal verflogenen Glücks
Ich bin das Heute und das Morgen
Der Wirklichkeit ein Stück entrückt

Ich bin der Aufschwung und die Wende
Stagnation und Lethargie
Ich bin der Anfang und das Ende
Doch für Dich greifbar bin ich nie

Ich bin der Himmel der Verzweiflung
Fühl' in Dir mein stummes Wort
Ich bin die Hölle Deiner Hoffnung
Bin ganz nah und doch weit fort


6. PLASTINATION CITY

(instrumental)


7. CRUSADE

Suicide bombing
Execution of men
Outrageous terror
Coming over again

This generation
Is on a global war
Against sharia
Violating the law

Well-versed in scriptures
Exploitation of men
Christian crusaders
Carry on war again

No justification
Absence of rights
Double-standard of morals
In a world full of lies

We should resolve
To amend our lives
We should resolve
Place down all knives


8. SENTIMENT

In search of the pure, in search of the light
I miss those arms that held me tight
A pleasant breeze while time stands still
To venture forward I have the will

Seconds to minutes, hours to days
Every single time I see your face
I am agitated by sudden fear
I feel your presence, but you're not here

I am so scared to fall asleep
Without your shine I'm lost and weak
I know the fault lies at my door
But for what I am living for?

An aching wound, I cannot breathe
No healing hand for my disease
I take no comfort in all your words
There is just pain like Hell it hurts

Oh God I would not
Normally pray
Save me from darkness
Let it drift away


9. YIELD OF DESPAIR

(instrumental)


10. RELIEF

Still in doubt, no clarity
Your spirit longs to wander free
A battle you can't win
Helpless saint in a world of sin

Bitter hardships to endure
This world doesn't make you feel secure
Together we'll stand the pain
Walk with me through hardened rain

Oh, what had you so thrilled?
What made you yearn to be fulfilled?
Deep sorrow, time stood still
Your track went down dale and up hill

Let faith in yourself rise
Come with me, I am your life
Feel in a deeper sense
I will be yours at journey's end

Let your tears run through my eyes
Sometimes to live means to survive
Clouds overshadow bliss
Oh, let me carry you through this
Cast all your cares on me


11. ASCENSION

Everything around was in brightness
Scenes of life went through my mind
A feeling of floating out of my body
Embraced by a beautiful light

I found myself in a profound stillness
Beyond God's infinity
Now I could perceive my "forever"
A new reality revealed to me

White light
Tunnel
Slowmotion
Ascension

I never wanted anything
As much as to go into that light
I never wanted anything
As much as to continue the ride

I've never felt such a vibration
A peaceful feeling came over me
I was in the eye of the creation
Close to light, my N.D.E.


12. FINAL CURTAIN

Leben wir in schönen Erinnerungen
Und glauben wir an eine goldene Zukunft
Um das hier und jetzt
Nicht wahrnehmen zu müssen ?
Mit Händen voller Hoffnung
Stehen wir am Abgrund zur Ewigkeit...
