Les paroles


1. MAKE YOUR DAY

I'm a man who's restless
Don't know any fontiers
I live my life, no changes
And break through all barriers
Don't earn a million dollars
But travel 'round the world
Your envy keeps distracting you
From your daily routine

Say, how else can I make your day?
Any more bills I have to pay?
What else do you want me to say
Why do you bother me this way?
Say, how else can I make your day?

You always try to force me
To live my life like you
Thinking it's unjust for me
To do the things I do

Sure, you're in a raw deal
You think it is quiet fair
To denounce me anyway you can
To pester me this way

You'll see it's no solution
To find your luck through me
‘Cause I am not salvation
I just live my life free

Sure, you're in a raw deal
You think it is quite fair
To denounce me anyway you can
To pester me this way


2. INFERNO

I crossed the border, I saw the light
I tried to reach it, but then I failed
I have to stay here, to pay my dues
Am I forgotten and lost in a ruse?
Why can't you see me?
I am next to you!
Why can't you feel me?
I am touching you!

Take my hand, show me the promised land
Let me take a look, but don't let me lose ground
Take my hand, show me the promised land
Just as visitor and not as resident of Inferno

The penitent road I had to cross
Facing all my sins, my whole life's loss
No peace of heaven, just goddamned heat
Heart-piercing cries spread the darkest seed


3. THE ONE

Just one of these lonely nights
I'm lying on my bed
Sleep seems so far away
My thought are in a fight
I get up for a little drink
It may just help a bit
Your smile's burned into my mind
It's written in ink

Could it be that you won't see me?
Could it be that you just play an evil game?

I wanna be the one, just be your number one
I swear I'll be the one who cares
I wanna be the one, not just another one
I swear I'll be the one who cares

Now I seem to lose my mind
I'm up to give a call
Don't know if it's wrong or right
But my love makes me blind

I hang up, couldn't say a thing
Seems like I lost my voice
There's so much I would like to say
My heart is on a string

Could it be that you won't hear me?
Could it be that you just play an evil game?


4. PLAYING WITH FIRE

Every time I see you I can't take my eyes off you
Wishing I could touch your pale cool skin
I try to be your number one but you don't mention me
I'd grab you every star above, be what you want me to be

You're playing with fire, you're all desire
Here I am, and there's no need to pretend
You're playing with fire, you're all desire
Here I am, and there's no need to pretend

You tell me that you'd like me, that you might give it a try
But your favourite game is playing cat and mouse

You once lit my fire, you're all I admire, baby, baby,
Come and feel my desire, before I break down and go insane


5. DANCE WITH MADNESS

Deep in the night I hear a scream
But no one it seems is near
Slowly I try to face my thoughts
Hope I didn't wake up in a dream
I won't keep bogging down into dullness
I'm stuck between realities
Wanna hold on to my dance with madness and the fear

Thousands of tongues blow up my head
Convincing me of different truths
Amazed and confused it dawns on me
This must be reality!

We are all just like puppets of society
Even if we think we'll win, somebody else pulls the strings


6. LOVE WILL FIND A WAY

Walking down this road I've never been before
It's so hard to realize the painful truth
And everything around us looks unreal to me
But now my time has come, please tell me that I'm wrong
My love will give you comfort, make you strong

I don't wanna live forever
I just wanna stay another day
And lay here near beside you
'cause you and me belong together
Love is gonna find another way
I'll never be without you

All those hopes and plans that grew along our way
Will always be a never-ending dream
And I wish I'd had the time to tell you how I feel

But when the lights go out, your faith is all I have
Forever to your heart I will belong

Remember how it used to be when we had just sunny weather
Every little thing seemed possible
But even in the darkest times out hearts will stay together
'cause love will find a way, yes love will find a way


7. VERTIGO

It is a lonely rainy Sunday on Hicksville's dirty streets
Only some transient, blurry shadows doing non-essentios deeds
No one anticipates, the dire menace waits, prowling for this sweet young thing
She isn't able to resist them as they entice her with these words
Come on and join the vertigo, I'm sure you'll love the show
It doesn't matter what's to come or what you've tried before

A lot of snow fell in the meantime and days are closing in
From time to time she would appear again, straying, unshod, frail and thin
One day she disappeared, no single word was heard, she was never seen again,
But if you listen very carefully you can hear her softly sing


8. THE CONQUEST

Let me tell you a true story
‘Bout the so called human race
How it's seeking for a new and better world
Full of hope and without fear of loss, exodiel tendency
Just set the sails and control unknown sea
But they will never reach a shore
Not knowing what they're looking for

Many have gone away for summer
Many have gone away forever
Many have gone away for summer
Many have gone away forever

We only think about the bad things
Don't enjoy the real good things
We are chasing out tails until we die
Some people call it irony and other destiny
Considering too long, 'till it's too late

But we will never reach a shore
Not knowing what we're looking for


9. HIGHER LOVE

Now is the time when I have to figure out
Imaginary protection should fill us with pride
You punish the innocent, you're rage is mad
I can hardly have faith in you

I just can't make you out above
Where is your so-called higher love?
We need more

Every day I could cover up my eyes
Nothing but cruelty, injustice and evil lies
Born pure, we are spoilt by guilt and grow to waste
And that's supposed to make us feel safe

Why can't you just send a sign of assurance
If you are so damned almighty, take a glance
We long for a little gesture if there's still a chance


10. CARDIOPHOBIA

Comfortless pressure, ants in my veins
Pain's spreading slowly to my neck and my arms
I'm getting nervous, breaking out in cold sweat
Is this the end or just a panic attack
It's just a nasty dream, delusion screws me
Nothing is like it seems, nonetheless it could be
Will I ever live carefree without fear of my death
It's just a nasty dream until it comes true

In fact we're all ill, but we don't know it yet
Cowed by media and avaricious meds
Don'T wanna think about my final breath
Enjoy my life without a side effect


11. LOOK AT ME

You stand there in front of me
To join out show, your destiny
You think the man you see lives how you could be
You see my life, it's full of fun
Touring the world, no need to run
Your childhood dreams come true, however, not for you

Look at me now, when I'm lying here
Look at me now, when I fight the fear
Look at me now, while I'm crying
Am I the man you know?
Look at me now, I am near the edge
Look at me now, No one gives a badge
Look at me now, I am trying
Trying to be like you

My picture smiles on TV screens
And even on the magazines
You want to turn back time, but don't know what it means

I treat the girls out you'd like to meet
I break the habit, my world, my lead
Someday I will reach the end of Famous-Street

I'm just a part of what your mind is longing for
I'm things you do desire and then even more
Our ways are different ways, we chose them long before
But we both know we'll carry on, 'cause it's the best for everyone


12. THE OTHER SIDE

Free but so constricted, analyzed self-control
Be good or an example for the crowd
You can take a look but don't touch, you can feel but never taste
Don't swallow, only tasting is allowed!
‘Cause you are, yes you are, part of the master plan
And you are what you are if you strictly hold the line

Now take me to the other side and give me what I need
Now take me to the other side and make my life complete

Only born to pay for someone else's intention
The first breath signs a lifelong resolution
You proclaim your situation, but nobody ever cares
The system seems to work fine without you


13. ACHERON'S WAY

Another ferry's drifting slowly through the stream
Someday I will follow, someday I'll be free
Silently the wind blows, moving misty clouds
I wait until it's darker, covered by a shroud
Another rainy day is passing by
Another restless day without a try
But tomorrow I will go, tomorrow I will go away

Something seems uncertain, and still it holds me back
Salvation's calling, craving, from somewhere in the dark

Another rainy day is passing by
Another restless day without a try
Another cry of agony vibrates through the night
But tomorrow I will go, tomorrow I will go away

I'm still hangong aroung, think I have run aground
But I know I will have to pay my dues
And I hope that they will not refuse
