1. CHALICE OF YOUR MIND

In the land where the sun is rising
Hide behind the light
There's the fountain of all your feelings
Land of your fantasy

In this field grow the roots of tomorrow
Sleeping deep in your past
That's the mirror of all your present
Palace of your reality

Listen, don't search too far
Hear me, it's really near to you

Watch out!
For the chalice of your mind
Look out!
The evil knights will try to find

With this field you have to be careful
Beware of the evil knights
Fight with the dreams of this moment
To get fruits in harvest time

Listen, don't search too far
Hear me! It's really near to you

Watch out!
For the chalice of your mind
Look out!
The evil knights will try to find


2. END OF TIME

Long time there's to go, come tell me what you know
You are still here, come and look around, tell me what you see
They are standing here, the towers of the world
Time has gone by, here are the walls
The remains of this world

It's the end of time, you feel that is your sign
Why not come back?
It's the end of time, you feel that is your sign
Why not come back?
It's the end of time

A land full of glowing fire, it was your last desire
King of your death, go back to the land
Go back to Hell
It's the world of fire, it was your last desire
What do you see, tell me what you feel
Your world is your grave

It's the end of time, you feel that is your sign
Why not come back?
It's the end of time, you feel that is your sign
Why not come back?
It's the end of time

Find the light of the other time
The bright star will give you a sign
One day you will look for the way
Then you will see that you have to stay
Then you will see it was your time

The world is burning now, and you ask yourself "how"
It's not a dream, wake up it's real, come back to reality
It was the paradise, it was a holy world
Before you came, was a good time
But time has gone by

It's the end of time, you feel that is your sign
Why not come back?
It's the end of time, you feel that is your sign
Why not come back?
It's the end of time


3. DER HOFNARR UND DIE KÖNIGIN

Let me tell you a story that once crossed my way
The story of a jester who was
Joking for the King
Kissing his gold ring
Singing old stories and telling new tales
Providing new games for the world
Singing for the King
Joking was his sin
He's only a servant court-jester brings joy to her Majesty

Nobody knows what's behind his real mask
No-one can see in his mind
Cause he's always fine
Look the Queen knows why
Climbing high walls as a ghost through the night
To whisper sweet words to his Queen
Telling many lies
Under moonlight skies
He's only a servant court-jester brings joy to her Majesty


4. SPIRITS

Please don't say you've never felt their signs
Their cold their might are fine
Burning spirits living yesterday
Their feats went down
Went down in history
Don't lose your soul it will die away
Keep it, in Heaven you will stay
Not a dream and not a lie
Just the end for you and I

Spirits
Spirits
Spirits rule the night
Spirits
Spirits
Spirits kiss the light

Please give ear and try to hear their fate
Damned to live in twilight
Hear their laughter gliding in the air
Between the dawn
The dawn and paradise
Don't lose your soul it will die away
Keep it, in Heaven you will stay

Not a dream and not a lie
Just the end for you and I

Spirits
Spirits
Spirits rule the night
Spirits
Spirits
Spirits kiss the light

Please don't ask me now, I can't explain
It's still too soon believe me
The day will come for you and me
To fly and kiss
To fly and kiss the light
Don't lose your soul it will die away
Keep it, in Heaven you will stay
Not a dream and not a lie
Just the end for you and I

Spirits
Spirits
Spirits rule the night
Spirits
Spirits

6. THE LIAR

He was born into the world of these arts
It was the world of his dreams
His audience overwhelmed him with gold
And shouted you are the hero
They cried out loud for his soul
Even on the radio
You can hear his songs tonight

He stole my whole life
He was a real bad liar
He stole my whole life
He was a real bad liar

The years passed by, his judgement improved
And he changed his ideas
His body grew old, his muscles were tired
His friends went their separate ways
They only wanted his smile
Look, the others are best
You're losing your ideas

He stole my whole life
He was a real bad liar
He stole my whole life
He was a real bad liar

He told me how this sad story came true
He was a victim of time
They said, you must drink
They you will be a star
It helps you to conquer the world
They said you must sell your soul
Hey, you must realize
That gold holds more power for you

He stole my whole life
He was a real bad liar
He stole my whole life
He was a real bad liar

Listen to my tale
He stole my whole life
He was a real bad liar
He stole my whole life
He was a real bad liar

They take away all your gold
And sell you instead their bad lies
To ease our problems they try
Happy-go-lucky love songs
The culture is dying for you
To blame is the preacher untrue
Yeah!


7. SUNSHINE IN YOUR MIND

I went thro'the night full of wishes and dreams
It was a long way 'til the sunrise
I looked deep into the black night
And saw that a shape was before me

It was an old man, who was branded with time
His eyes burning like fire
He said to me, come, I will show you your life
A life full of sadness and wishes

Sunshine in your mind
Feel your own desire
Sunshine in the night
Sunshine in your mind
And your soul goes higher
Sunshine in your mind
Feel your soul on fire tonight

He showed me a world, that was full of dead souls
And the bad world in the darkness
Then I saw the sky, the stars full of light
And many souls in the sunshine

He said, your life glides through these mystic worlds
But your will gives you strength in this darkness
You see the sunshine in this dark night
And your soul flies higher and higher

Sunshine in your mind
Feel your own desire
Sunshine in the night
Sunshine in your mind
And your soul goes higher
Sunshine in your mind
Feel your soul on fire tonight

I see the fire
I feel your desire
See your soul fly in the darkness
Your mind is flying
Your heart is dying
The soul is burning in fire
Burning fire
Burning higher

But the old man stays forever
In his world of dreams together
He lives in his paradise, because there
There are no lies
See the door in your heart of stone
Keep the sunshine in your soul
Go through your life and find the sun
Don't look back
You must run
Break the darkness in this night
And you will win the inner fight
Find the place where you were born
And destroy your heart of stone


8. LIGHT OF LIES

Look to the Heaven
And see the light of your life
Look into darkness
And feel the might of this time
Blinded by the light
Lost in deepest night
He was misleaded by sin
He stole the book of charms
Defying all the harms
Oh, he found "Aladdin's Lamp"

Make me immortal, eternalize my life
Give me the power, the power of time

Near to the Heaven
Close to the silence
Rises the fountain
The fountain of life
Between fire and ice
Hell and paradise
You must go down to this spring
In fire you will burn
Forever you must learn
Oh, beware of your choice

Take your desire, go down in your dreams
Fall now in darkness and enter this stream

Never die!
Was my only real temptation
I will see your destination
Now I've got my own desire
See me go in through the fire
I'm the chosen one, to never...
Die!
Die!

Where are you going? What lies ahead?
You have been blinded, your wishes were bad
Alone in the twilight, alone in the night
Caught by this evil, by light of lies
