1. THE LAST OF CAMELOT

The world is turning
Very fast these days,
Too fast to hold on to
In this computer steered world.
People start dreaming their life
Instead of living their dreams -
They build their own worlds
Were they are kings.

But sometimes,
Somebody finds the key
To the old world,
Back to the old gods,
Castrated and adapted
To the church as their saints
For a one and only God
Who built a world
That´s not even good enough
For him to live in!

My sword so bloody in my hands,
We fought a fight that ne ver ends,
Young Raven he stood next to me,
A battle-axe of British steel.

Sir Galahad fought all alone,
Stroke hundreds of them on his own.
And Durandur stood like a wall,
Said Camelot will never fall

Oh Saxons come and taste my steel!

[Chorus:]
Don´t break the circle,
Don´t break the circle,
The circle of the last of Camelot!
Lalala la lalala la lalala la lalala la lalalalala, Camelot (x2)

Taliesin the Druid says:
"They´re thousands against each of us!"
We´re heroes under blood red skies,
we´re heroes and we´re born to die,
Our banners dancing in the wind,
The dragon painted on our shields.

Lianne and Rivan fought so strong,
Like the old
Winds, they came along.
They walked in blood covered in dust,
Together with the gods we trust.

[Chorus]

Lalala.....My son, my son only for you
I do the things I have to do
To bring you freedom, liberty
The day will come soon you will see.

A long day that turned into night,
And victory was on our side.
The army of our enemies
Is now destroyed
But we will see!
The wheels of history
(Are) rolling fast,
Who will die next won´t be the last!

[Chorus]
Lalala.....


2. CELTIC PRINCESS

Coming from Dover, now sitting in Paris,
Got to find a way to get home.
No cigarettes, just this bottle of gin
And those Pakistanis gave us some food.
That´s where we met on a railway-station
And a train will bring us home.
That´s where we met, my Celtic princess and me,
But I´ve got to go home Celtic princess.

[Chorus:]
Celtic princess, Celtic princess,
Celtic princess stay with me
Celtic princess, Celtic princess,
Celtic princess let it be (x2)

I remember the sound of the rolling train,
As we rolled the rails in the pooring rain,
And in the dark of the night,
I´ve seen the light in your eyes,
That I´ll never forget my Celtic princess.

[Chorus]

Weary hair, an fucked up trenchcoat,
Broken nails and dust in her throat,
We were feeling like the last of camelot,
Living a dream no one would understand but

[Chorus]

It doesn`t matter how long love takes,
Me and you forever in our minds.
Well I don`t know your way
And you don`t know mine, but in the end
We`ll meet again my celtic princess


3. ASK THE RUNES

Where do we come from, where do we go,
What is the answer I want to know?
Where do we come from, where do we go,
Where are the things I need to know?
Where do we come from, where do we go?
Don´t ask me `cause I don´t know!

[Chorus:]
To find an answer to all your questions
Ask the Runes.
To find an answer to all your questions
Ask the Runes.

Where does it lead to, how will it end,
And tell me who will stop the rain?
What are we here for, why must we die,
Why can we laugh, why can we cry?
So many saints, so many sins
And tell me what tomorrow brings!
So many questions, so many tears,
So many cloudy days and fears.
What can they tell me, what are they for?
They are your friends - an open door!

[Chorus]

What is the difference between good and bad,
Where is the love I never had?
Where are the girls, where have they gone,
Was I right or maybe wrong?
What means `beginning´, what is `the end´,
Where are the letters I never sent?
Should I be quiet or should I talk,
Should I rest or should I walk?
What can I do, what can I say,
What is the price I have to pay?
Should I stay or should I go -
Ask the Runes `cause I don´t know!

[Chorus]


4. IN A WORLD LIKE THIS

You say you`re vegetarian
Why do you eat my flesh
Why do you eat my brain
My nerves and all the rest?
I took away your needles,
I took away your spoons,
Gave you a better life,
Was acting like a fool.
I met you with a black eye,
You`ve got hurt on a door
Your cats they scratched your back
And you fell on the floor.
You know it wasn`t easy
To get you out of this
And you know sucking`s easier
Than a simple kiss.

I gave you new dimensions,
Gave you home and love
I gave you hope and freedom,
Closed you in my heart
But love means nothing
In a world like this.

You tell me I`m so good,
You tell me, I`m so wise,
You never fell in love,
Were always cold as ice.
So many promises
I know are hard to keep,
Do you know what I feel
When nightmares kill your sleep?

I gave you new dimensions,
Gave you home and love
I gave you hope and freedom,
Closed you in my heart
But love means nothing
In a world like this.

Maybe I am to good
And you can`t work it out,
Maybe you need your bangs
And assholes around.
You say that you don`t want,
Don`t want to go insane
Every look in the mirror,
Every scar remains.
And if your promises
Will all turn into lies,
I won`t get broken,
I`ve seen death through all my live.
I`m really sorry for you,
But what else can I do,
When love means nothing
In a world like this to you?
It`s so easy, it`s so easy for you now,
It`s not easy,
Cause you`ve got to life somehow
You`re new old job - prostitution
On the street
