1. ODYSSEY

(instrumental)


2. SUFFERING IN SOLITUDE

The past is gone
But it's not dead
It's in my mind
It's in my head

Life seems full
Of clouds and rain
What have I done
To deserve this pain?

All this waiting
Is agony
In your heart
No empathy

Your distrust
Cuts me so deep
There's no word
For me to speak

Emptiness
That's all I feel
All these wounds
Will never heal

All my dreams
Were built on sand
And all my plans
Run through my hands
Now I'll close my eyes
Suffering in solitude
Nothing remains
But harmfull lies
Now I'll close my eyes


3. FIRMAMENT

Bewahre mich
Find mich in Zeilen
Glätte die Wogen
Lass mich verweilen
An deiner Seite
Einen Augenblick
Bevor ich falle
Ein Hauch von Glück

Trostlos trauernd
Sinnentleert
Innere Heimat
Nach außen gekehrt
Errette mich
Und gib mir Kraft
Erstick die Zweifel
Durch deine Wacht

Angst frisst Seele
Angst schränkt ein
Angst raubt Atem
Angst macht klein

Zeig mir Licht
Schenk mir Farben
Ein Firmament
Im Nichts der Narben


4. 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


5. VENOM

I am cursed with repeating scenes
My heaven's full of shattered dreams
No silver lining - no god - no sun
All i have loved is far and gone
All i have loved is far and gone

I am assailed by endless fear
The ghosts of pain are always here
My soul - it wanders endlessly
On paths where hell is leading me
On paths where hell is leading me

Someday
May our souls embrace again
Please believe me
Just lay your hand on my heart

Someday
No time to say good-bye
And if we touch our hands
Then the sun will fill the sky

I feel such an unbearable pain
Your venom flows throughout my veins
My stronghold's fragile and too weak
Oh, i wish i‘ve never learnt to weep
Oh, i wish i‘ve never learnt to weep

Someday
May our souls embrace again
Please believe me
Just lay your hand on my heart

Someday
No time to say good-bye
And if we touch our hands
Then the sun will fill the sky


6. 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


7. BENUMBED

It's the distance between us
And the space inside ourselves
Abandoned hope - no answers
We have forsaken ourselves

All the sorrows we have suffered
All the shadows we have seen
A pressurehurts inside us
We have erased the golden dream

Fill this emptiness with movement
Fill this cold dark with light
Where's the harbour in the tempest?
A place for us to hide?

I'm quivering
I'm shivering
I'm shuddering
I'm shaking with cold
A thousand dreams
A thousand years
A thousand moments
A thousand tears
A thousand dreams
All slip away
We are benumbed
I can't find my way


8. PLASTINATION CITY

9. 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.
