1. THE RISE

The sky is fading into black
The stifling air smells burned
The wind carries the sound of the bomber of death
Horrified faces leave me behind in fear

Bombs blow up, no chance to survive
The whole place is on fire
The shelter is not far from him
But he's petrified by fear

He can't move i - he can't do it - it is destiny

[Chorus]
Feel the fire, it's the hell on earth
And I raise my hand to my rebirth
It's the rise into another life - oh what a sacrifice

Ten thousand feet upon the ground
I'm trying to hide my doubt
My shivering hand at the trigger
Facing the enemy, I lose my vigor

The mission is lethal
His opinion worthless
Victory is reached by death
He's forced to drop the bomb

Forced to do it - he can't do it - it is destiny

[Chorus]


2. YOUR WAY

You see the wall, you see the light
You feel that you can't win the fight
For your life
You have needles in your veins
It seems so cold and all your friends are gone
You are alone

So close your eyes, forget the past
And leave your lifetime far behind

[Chorus]
You are full of despair - and think life is never fair
So please, don't care - cdon't care!
You are full of despair and you will find your way

Look, what you've been going through
But now there's nothing else that you can do - you can't do
It's time to leave your past behind
Because you'e reached the point of no return
No one can rewind

Just close your eyes, forget the past
You'll find your way to say goodbye

[Chorus]

Yo closed your eyes, all is done
You found your way to say goodbye

You were full of despair - and saw life was never fair
You didn't care - didn't care
You were full of despair and you've found your way


3. GNADE

Wer weiß wohin es geht, wer weiß wohin es führt
Tausende Gedanken bleiben ungedacht.
Verlangen nur nach -mehr-, verstärkt durch den Konsum,
Der Preis ist die Menschlichkeit.

Ohne Dich macht mein Leben keinen Sinn,
Es bleibt nur der Trott tagein, tagaus.
Doch ich weiß wohin es geht, und wohin es führt.
Und ich nehm dich mit - hier und jetzt

Sei bereit, für uns'ren Flug in die Unendlichkeit

[Chorus]
Ich fühle mein Herz nicht mehr
Das Feuer meiner Jugend, der Grund für meine Qual
Liebe ist deine Schuld
Du beißt mich, du kneifst mich,
Du stichst mich und zerreist mich - Gnade!

Der Weg war nur das Ziel, das Ziel war unser Ende
Ich konnte nicht mehr weitergehn.
Dachte nur an jene Zeit, bevor alles begann
Zwielicht der Glückseeligkeit

Ohne dich macht mein Leben keinen Sinn
In meiner schönen, neuen Welt
Ja ich weiß wohin es geht, und wohin es führt
Bitte nimm mich mit - hier und jetzt

Ich bin bereit, für uns'ren Flug in die Unendlichkeit


4. CRYSTAL BRIDE

Trapped in my illusion
This vitreous casket leaves no air to breathe.
Stuck in this confusion
My mind's dropped out my heart's too cold to see.

My lethal desire
This longing for a surreal instant
In place of enquire
I risked a sweet bite of life but now I appear dead

[Chorus]
Please let me go - I can't stand the ache of confinement
Hold on my dear | ache is the only thing that's real
Hear just my plead, don't leave me here Abandoned by all souls,
Nobody reaches me in this grave Hear just my plead, don't leave me here
You have no choice - this poisoned blood is in your veins

Forgetting the weakness - the pale color of midnight sun is near
Use the power of darkness!
Your body's to weak, your mind is full of fear
White rose you are trying, but envious hearts will never find their peace
Broken mirrors are lying - if it's true I'm lost forever in this way

[Chorus]

Maybe it's for me to see - that my fear is my reality


5. SAVE ME

I woke up Sunday morning, my head seemed to explode
It was a hard night, last night
This fucking bitch just left me, dunno what I've done to her
Suddenly I was all alone

I went into the kitchen, to the fridge and grabbed a beer
If I carry on this way, I'll be lost in desperation and I'll say

Save me - Save me - Save me from myself

Then I went up the street, to the pub and grabbed a beer
The same story again
Too much of everything, don't know how this will end
This pain I am suffering will release its power in the end

I went into the kitchen, to the fridge and grabbed a beer
If I carry on this way, I'll be lost in desperation and I'll say [2x]

Save me - Save me - Save me from myself


6. LOST

Resistance is futile - the siren is calling me
Couldn't defeat you
And I'd never dare - turning my life
Into a vivid nightmare

[Chorale]
Without some strength of will you will surrender to our call
I have to overcome temptation...
I must overcome temptation - must I?

Gnawing in my mind, - injecting its will
The lethal shot, lurking to kill
Despite my denial, it runs through my veins
Eternal vice, eternal reins

Resistance is futile
Couldn't defeat you
And I'd never dare - turning my life
Into a vivid nightmare

Forever and ever,
Through every endeavour,
You will be our servant,
Your fate is predetermined.


7. MY SWEET HELL

Erase this dark memory
Releasing a new sanity
Can't believe that my life's still
Going on after this tragedy

Raise your flag and remember
A life full of illusion is what you get
Leave your head outside the small box
Your mind's just filled with others' thoughts

Bones will heal
The mind is slowly getting clear
Enough with these infusions
My skin hurts twice, but I'm not dead

[Chorus]
Uhhh Won't you tell me why?
I can't get out of this
My sweet hell -I remember you

Please let me go
Want to float in the land of dreams
Without consequence
Don't let my reason hurt me

Fear's making me lame
This experience made me who I am
Everything that has been
Will be In this absurdity of life

[Chorus]

Won't you tell me why?
There's nothing left but scorched earth
Won't you tell me why?
My body's weak, but my mind became strong
Why should I keep on trying?
It's better to dream then accepting life
Will this sweet hell end, please?
You are the owner of your fate

[Chorus]


8. LAKE OF SORROW II

Look at the people all around
Seems like there's something that they found
Seems like someone has gone down
And suddenly you hear the sound

The sound comes closer to the place
The people spread about
There's a scary look on everybody's face - And now it's true
You've been in a lake of sorrow, too

Look at the people in the street
Seems like the fear left them stunned
Seems like there's nothing left to cure
And you realize what you neglected

They just walk on and refused
Just to think about
That a soul escaped right in front of their eyes - And now it's true
They are in a lake of sorrow, too

[Chorus]
A bloody river on the street
Tells the story of a soul
Nobody here has took the lead
Now it's true - you've been in a lake of sorrow, too

No one wanted to hear the plead
Seems like they waited for a sign
Just like the proverb with the seed
Go on and harvest all your guilt

But all of them will know
That nobody bore a hand
There's the certitude that everyone will see [everyone will see]
that it's true... you are in a lake of sorrow, too

[Chorus]

Oh! You are lost, and so alone
You didn't help me and now it's true....


9. RUSH OF ANTILOGY

Adora quod incendisti, incende quod adorasti! Mundus vult decipi, ergo decipiatur.

Feels like we are running against what's in our head
Our sequacity is growing... still

See my blood, it's stirring - while time is standing by
The veil of ignorance is everywhere

So please try to see - take my hand
Won't you join our pact?
There's no time for silence - can't close my eyes
In this rush of antilogy

It is just deceptive peace in an illusory world
People still Are trapped in their dump

It is your decision to get your head out of the clouds
Stand up and be part of the uprising

Get over cursing your doom will be the fight
Just follow your instinct

So please try to see - take my hand
Won't you join our pact?
There's no time for silence - can't close my eyes
In this rush of antilogy

[Chorale]
Adora quod incendisti, incende quod adorasti!
Mundus vult decipi, ergo decipiatur.


10. PHONIX

Or gar nicht allzu langer Zeit
Flog ich Richtung Unendlichkeit
Seine Augen, ich wusste, dass er mich ansah
Ich starb', vergaß all das was war

Nimm seinen Staub um ihn neu zu entfachen,
Die Erinnerung um von ihr zu zehr'n
Sieh' das Lichttier aus vergangenen Tagen
Leb die Unendlichkeit!

Und ich komm wieder, und du kommst wieder, wir kommen wieder zurück

[Chorus]
Wie einst der Phoenix aus seiner Asche stieg
Und die ganze Welt vor ihm niederkniet'
Steh ich auf, und ich tanze mit dir - tanz mit mir!
Wie der Phoenix, aus der Asche stieg
Und die ganze Welt vor ihm niederkniet'
Steh ich auf, und ich tanze mit dir - tanz mit mir

Es plagt mich die Erinnerung
Bleib still, ich bleibe stumm
Doch plötzlich überkommt mich mein Verstand
Dieser Verfall liegt ganz in meiner Hand

Nimm seinen Staub um ihn neu zu entfachen,
Die Erinnerung um von ihr zu zehr'n
Sieh' das Lichttier aus vergangenen Tagen
Leb die Unendlichkeit!

[Chorus]

[Chorale]
Und aus der Asche steigt der Phönix!
Und aus der Asche steigt der Phönix!
Und aus der Asche steigt der Phönix! (Und aus der Asche)
Und aus der Asche steigt der Phönix! (steigt er empor)

[Chorus]
