1. THE OTHER INQUISITOR

This is the time
He’s the chosen one.
No king or queen he serves,
Always hiding from the sun.
He holds the flag of the enemy.
Falling through time to the edge of our world into war,
Hollow the promise and greedy as ever before.
Lingering, lurking in the shadows
Feeding from the rules, we’ve created!
He speaks with our voice, his words bring us pain
He’s just one of the others!
He speaks with our voice, his words bring us pain
He’s just one of the others…
Twisted thoughts in mind,
Black torches lead his way.
He’s thriving from our kind
We are this hunter’s prey!
Vengeance will be his,
As he follows an idle plan.
No beating heart inside
The pestilence of man.
I’m willing to believe,
We can alter the sense of our fortune
And blinking into the sun,
We’ll share a smile.
I’m willing to believe, I’m willing to believe!
I’m willing to believe, I’m willing to believe!
Struggling we see in his eyes, what you are, what I am.
Always beware of the wolf with the face of a lamb!
Silence, silence – listen, my child!
Can’t you hear his steps in the night?
The reaper’s breath around his shape
Clutches of coldness, of terror and fright.
Under these skies we know,
Lies become undone
And the bitter calls shall fade.


2. HOMECOMING

There’s a light in the northern sky,
It’s warmth used to comfort me.
And all the smell of these passed away years,
Their grateful child is all I’ll ever be.
And snow is falling, forever falling
I close my eyes with a smile.
No poisonous fears and no worries remain,
When full of faith our hope’s shining high.
Coldly strikes the winter’s chill,
As we travel this merciful white.
Innocent silence deep in our hearts
And our footsteps fade into the night.
Sleepy the forest and grimful the path,
Together no one dies alone.
The stars lead us safely, though blinded we are
You and me, we’re coming home!
Your hand in mine, caressing fine,
Within the dream of this moment.
To the spell we’re bound,
Peace is what we’ve found,
Within the grace of this moment.
Oh, all the good things, so cruel and so kind –
Time’s healing and breaking my heart.
How long have I sweetly tortured myself?
The chains of my past break apart!
Send a wish to heaven above,
Or hide it behind decent eyes.
The touch of your longing brings back to my mind
Memories, once frozen in ice.
Sleepy the forest, so grimful the path,
Together we won’t die alone.
The stars guide us safely, they shine from afar –
You and me, we’re coming home!
We’re going home…


3. BETA

The spirit’s calling, as night’s fading in.
A fool I may be to your eyes –
To everybody’s eyes.
Why do these feelings last and burn?
When is the day, we call Someday?
Comes there a time, our doubts will end?
I hear the non-believers pray.
Who were these friends before you met?
Where will be the last ones of our kind?
What is the meaning of all these shattered dreams?
Will they forget those left behind?
The mirror’s face, shows it the truth?
Shall we smash it in abomination?
That scene I see was long ago,
Ragebound I break it’s domination.
Leave me behind, I’m your Beta.
Erased shall I be from the face of the earth!
I’m your Beta.
Erased shall I be from the face of the earth!
The world feels different today
And those little nothings won’t make it up.
Taste the salt from my cheek,
For still there’s a tomorrow…– tomorrow.
I dug the roots of time
And found enchanted hours.
Please take away what’s ours
Words that are said remain said.
We’re selling our hopes to the poorest of men
This passion, counted in gold!
But as long as the touch of your dream haunts my soul,
This relic of once stays unsold.
But as long as the touch of your dream haunts my soul…
And here we are, we met again –
Still you’re my muse and whisper songs.
Reach out for me, your past is mine
And no Beta ever is undone.
I left you behind, you’re my Beta.
Erased shall you be from the face of the earth!
You’re my Beta.
Erased shall we be from the face of the earth!
Peace at mind to our divergent spirits –
Like the death of an old friend, it broke up the line.
A heavenly promise survives in our hands.


4. FAIR ENOUGH

We had our part in everything,
We loved through timeless days.
The world seemed to be ours then
And smiled upon your face.
We laughed under the evening star,
Counting forgotten things.
We played against some rules back then
And sailed against the winds.
And I cried
I cried all these bitter tears,
From the day that had taken my love!
And I tried
I tried to face all my fears.
But in the end
In the end, I think,
Somehow it was fair enough.
There’s magic in the way we met,
I lost myself in you.
Some things in life you can’t forget,
Some things keep shining through.
Do you remember our end?
So cold and so alone.
I know, that you were heaven-sent,
An angel just returned back home – back home.
Fate seems to like an ironic sense of humor,
But I don’t blame not a thing to no one.
We hold tomorrow’s memories right here and right now
In our arms
Hhmmm.
I’m just the sand, that runs between your fingers.
I’m just a shade, that you try to embrace.
I’m nothing but ice, that melts under your kisses.
I’m the fading picture of a young one’s face
Of a young one’s face.
And I sailed
I sailed all these stormy seas,
Through the waters, no matter how rough.
And I prayed
Yes, I prayed for a sense beneath.
Through the waters, no matter how rough!
And I prayed
Yes, I prayed for a sense beneath…


5. HAVEN

The world was getting colder every day,
Just a little bit more.
And brothers fought each other every day,
For nothing and nothing more.
We’ve got a feeling like the time was near
The time, where it all ends.
We lived in sorrow and we dwelled in fear
In a place, that humanity suspends.
Come on inside, my friend – dry your tears!
There’s hope for everyone.
No one is forgotten,
I know, that you’ve cried
Let this darkness turn into light!
Our hearts kept freezing inside every day,
Just a little bit more.
And our smiles got weaker every day,
Weaker than ever before.
I looked around and all I saw was hate,
War, death and disease.
It seemed, as if not a thing remained,
But our pain and our grief.
Right at the time, when all seemed lost,
Down on our knees, even losing all trust,
Caressing our souls the sun showed it’s face.
After furious storm came a light full of grace!
The struggle of man, it came to a rest
By the promise of love and a little hope left.
We are colorful birds, spreading wings with the raven
Just ships somewhere out, on our way to the haven…


6. A FINAL ULTIMATUM

Slay down the lies – there is sense to illusion!
And never look back to those places you’ve been.
We found ourselves in the process of illumination.
Embracing the tale we still share,
We will mark an end.
A dead mans forgiveness, his way led to shelter
And fire is burning away our truth
For all that remains is a story forsaken.
Chosen by few we are here
As the pages turn.
Tell me, who’s strong now and tell me, who’s weak!
We’re chained to the word of a deadbringing fate.
Blinding and twisted in riddles it speaks.
Keep up the struggle before it’s too late!
I’m calling the angels, I’m calling the world,
Before I close my eyes one last time!
The final words are the ones to be heard
And I won’t fear the reapers sign!
I’m calling the angels, I’m calling the world,
Before I close my eyes one last time!
My final words are the ones I want to be heard
Ooh, ooh, ooh!
I feel confused and insecure,
But I carry hope in my pockets
And your smile on my face –
Always your smile on my face.
Are we the ones to be alone? –
Like it was all for some meaning.
This has to be the darkest hour,
Where my light shines for you.
Don’t touch the void, now resist it’s attraction!
Our fragmented dreams form a new start from here.
Seducing, temptating, the voices invite me.
What sacrifice needs to be made?
Was it all in vain?
So, they say, we had to face all the pain
And no one would ever leave this existence.
The face of the tragedy smiles between us.
Sweet visions appear in the dark,
Reaching out for me.


7. THE IMPOSSIBLE CHAIN

Slight hope for rain ignites our conspiration
Yelding back from the mists of death.
When the willess abyss swallows all remains,
Twisted flowers bloom before your eyes.
Speaker of torment, speaker of old
Your words are to us
Like drops of honey!
Sweet like a chime,
The fear is gone
All fear is gone.
A gift to the ones, that believed in the fadings
The rebel will not be silenced no more!
We follow the rules,
We follow the fate,
In this nightly melancholy.
Fruits of temptation,
Wouldn’t you wish to taste their deep fall?
Chained to each other impossibly,
The passing of things, it reminds me of you – of you.
The souls of the brave
All madness of mankind!
A wise mans tear from your face
Distant sound of screams!
By the face of the moon,
Nameless men drown in blood
Unleashing their extinction upon us all.
This quest leads us to the most wonderful places,
But finally we triumph
Over and over again, see our triumph!


8. BRIGHT HORIZON

We gaze into the light,
Welcome the reborn sun.
Another day has come,
To rest it lays the night.
Our heads are full of stars.
We breathe a piece of heaven.
The fighting is forgiven,
Our smiles will dry all tears.
There’s this story, you write,
In the book, that I read.
Still the chapters don’t know,
Where that story may lead
Nobody ever knows…
And everywhere we go,
In even smallest things,
Whatever this life brings,
There’s wonders we don’t know.
You gently hold my hand.
We’ll do this step as one,
A new life has begun
From here until the end.
There’s this story, I write,
In the book, that you read.
Still the chapters don’t know,
Where that story may lead.
As the pages are turned,
Our journey departs.
So together we’ll leave
When the next chapter starts.
The horizon is bright
Bright for us…
