1. Mayday!

Mayday! – Mayday!

It is Monday morning – the same old crap again
The days are grey and empty – I'm going insane
Like a fly I'm tangled in a web
Every move I make seems a wrong step

I'm drifting away – Lost in quicksand
I'm going astray – Will it never end

So help me mayday – mayday
Get me out of here
Sending a mayday – mayday
I need to disappear

I need some inspiration – get out of misery
A change of scene and company
High and lose I'm looking for salvation
Hone can I start my transformation

I'm drifting away – Lost in quicksand
I'm going astray – Will it never end

So help me mayday – mayday
Get me out of here
Sending a mayday – mayday
I need to disappear

So help me mayday – mayday
Get me out of here
I'm sending a mayday – mayday
I need to disappear

Mayday! – Mayday!
Get me out of here
Sending a mayday – mayday
I need to disappear

So help me mayday – mayday
Get me out of here
I'm sending out a mayday – mayday
I need to disappear

Mayday!

2. Eye To Eye

I fell into those teasing eyes
It shook me to the core
Got a taste of paradise
That left me wanting more

A yearning from the depth of me
I've never felt before
What was hiding right behind
That dark forbidden door

What is happening here
No more is all this clear to me
I don't understand
'cause neither one of us is free

Eye to eye
Sweet temptation
I'm torn between
The truth and what I feel
Deep here inside of me
Eye to eye
No redemption
I'm in between
The guilt and where my feelings
Really want to be

I closed my eyes and tried to put
Those thoughts out of my mind
I felt you reach into my heart
Afraid of what you'd find

I tried to turn and walk away
Just kept it all behind
You shone like the brightest light
That somehow left me blind

What is happening here
No more is all this clear to me
I don't understand
'cause neither one of us is free

Eye to eye
Sweet temptation
I'm torn between
The truth and what I feel
Deep here inside of me
Eye to eye
No redemption
I'm in between
The guilt and where my feelings
Really want to be

3. Paradise

Drifting through the darkness
Feeling lost and down
When all else fails
Looking for a hand to hold

Doubts begin to creep
Poisoning the mind, eyes wide open
But heart and soul still blind

There's a silver lining
Way up high

Another way into paradise
Dark shadows left behind
Another way into paradise
Let the spirit enlighten the mind

The drive that you need
Heaven and earth can provide
There are millions of ways
To reach for the shiny light

There's a silver lining
Way up high
Where the stars are shining
And fill the sky

Another way into paradise
Dark shadows left behind
Another way into paradise
Let the spirit enlighten the mind

Another way into paradise
Won't turn around
Another way into paradise
Let the spirit enlighten the mind

Another way into paradise
Dark shadows left behind
Another way into paradise
Let the spirit enlighten the mind

Another way into paradise
Dark shadows left behind
Another way into paradise
Let the spirit enlighten the mind

Another way into paradise
Won't turn around
Another way into paradise
Faith, hope, love can be found

4. Balls Of Steel

Since we were born
We always have been told what to do
They know only one way
But we don't accept their foolish point of view

No conventions running against the grain
We are actors in the theatre of pain

We play the leading role in this trial of life
Performing self-control
Trust in our faith is what keeps us alive
That is how we roll
Balls of steel – balls of steel

Breaking the chains
Straight out of conformity
Being free and easy
No one can stop us
On our way to liberty

No conventions
Running against the grain
We are actors
In the theatre of pain

We play the leading role in this trial of life
Performing self-control
Trust in our faith is what keeps us alive
That is how we roll
Balls of steel – balls of steel

We play the leading role in this trial of life
Performing self-control
Trust in our faith is what keeps us alive
That is how we roll
Balls of steel – balls of steel

5. Hold Your Flag

Sitting in the base camp
Put on the right shoes
Make up our minds
Which way we're gonna choose

It's a long hard and stony road
The challenge can be such a heavy load

We'll raise the stakes
We're gonna do just what it takes
Now the bets are off

Hold your flag high
Fill a deep blue sky
We are aiming to win
Gonna fly high
And the harder we try
We're defeating the weaker self within

We're reaching out for gold
It is worth the price
We'll push aside that fence
We're on our way to win the prize

Touchdown we make it
We always keep the pace
In a blaze of glory
We'll finally win the race

We'll raise the stakes
We're gonna do just what it takes
Now the bets are off

Hold your flag high
Fill a deep blue sky
We are aiming to win
Gonna fly high
And the harder we try
We're defeating the weaker self within

On your marks
Get set
Go

Hold your flag high
Fill a deep blue sky
We are aiming to win
Gonna fly high
And the harder we try
We're defeating the weaker self within

6. Gods Of Rock

You make me feel like I'm coming home
You are my rock when I'm alone
Your lasting force is all I've known
You led the way to the metal zone

You give me strength to carry on
You're always there where ever I may roam

You rule my night
You reign my day
You make me want you to obey
Tonight are hail the gods
The gods of rock
You play it loud
You make us proud
And you take over all the crowd
Tonight me hail the gods
The gods of rock

You shaped my life with your heavy tone
You helped me choose that great unknown
You make me work down to the bone
You led me to that thunderdome

You give me strength to carry on
You're always there where ever I may roam

You rule my night
You reign my day
You make me want you to obey
Tonight are hail the gods
The gods of rock
You play it loud
You make us proud
And you take over all the crowd
Tonight me hail the gods
The gods of rock

7. Take It All

I can see that you're hungry
With a taste for meat
Could it be that you want me
Another bite to eat

One more hunter waiting for her prey
Someone's gonna get fed today
One more morsel on the buffet of life
Eaten alive no fork no knife

Come and share what's on my table now
I'll be sure to feed you well

Take it all – take it now – take the best of me
Take it all – take it now – help yourself
Take it all – take it now – take the rest of me
Take it all – take it now – for yourself
Take it all – take it all

The taste of pleasure handed on a plate
Have your refill it's never too late
I will feed you with my carnal sin
Quench your thirst – let the feast begin

Come and share what's on my table now
I'll be sure to feed you well

Take it all – take it now – take the best of me
Take it all – take it now – help yourself
Take it all – take it now – take the rest of me
Take it all – take it now – for yourself
Take it all – take it all

8. Bleeding

Shadows are crawling
Crawling up my wall
Tears are falling
As I end this call

A lone candle
In my room
Its scent reminds me
Of your sweet perfume

You promised me
Your eternal love
With that ring on your hand

I don't know just what to feel
In this dream surreal
Awake but still asleep
Bleeding
Is this a love ideal
My Achilles' heel
A cut so deep
Unwounded I bleed

Love – our love is fading
Like a rose on a grave

You swore to me
Your eternal love
With that ring now left behind

I don't know just what to feel
In this dream surreal
Awake but still asleep
Bleeding
Is this a love ideal
My Achilles' heel
A cut so deep
Unwounded I bleed

Silent crying – slowly dying

I don't know just what to feel
In this dream surreal
Awake but still asleep
Bleeding
Is this a love ideal
My Achilles' heel
A cut so deep
Unwounded I bleed

9. Rock Of Life

I've been sailing the seven seas of life
I have braved the elements
I've managed to survive

I've been travelling all around the world
I've always cast the anchor
Where ever my flag unfurled

Troubled water – afraid to overturn
Seems like I've passed the point of no return
Drowning in my sorrow – in my river of pain
I will surely crack under the strain

When the storm's rolling on – you will be there
And lost at sea – you will be there
When I strayed from the course – always be there
'cause when the water's rising high up to my neck

You are my rock of life – rock of life
Rock of life – rock of life

There were times when I felt like screaming out
I've sent an S.O.S., before I slowly came about

Sail away my ship of loneliness
Far away from home, drifting to distress

Troubled water – afraid to overturn
Seems like I've passed the point of no return
Drowning in my sorrow – in my river of pain
I will surely crack under the strain

When the storm's rolling on – you will be there
And lost at sea – you will be there
When I strayed from the course – always be there
'cause when the water's rising high up to my neck

You are my rock of life – rock of life
Rock of life – rock of life – rock of life

When the storm's rolling on – you will be there
And lost at sea – you will be there
When I strayed from the course – always be there
'cause when the water's rising high up to my neck

10. Antidote

Can never give you back what you try to feed
Whatever you do you cannot give me what I need
It's in my blood – it's in my brain
A virus a deafening creed

Bless my blood – to heal my intoxication antidote
Bless my blood – help me to find my salvation

I need you – I want you – you are my antidote
I ain't looking for a cure any longer

Be seeing you – it won't be so
The both of us are sure to know
With hearty words people lie
Ignore the pride and don't ask why
You're never gonna see – you're not sane
All you're gonna hear is my silent cry

Bless my blood – to heal my intoxication antidote
Bless my blood – help me to find my salvation

I need you – I want you – you are my antidote
I ain't looking for a cure any longer
I need you – I want you – you are my antidote
But why is the poison stronger

I need you – I want you – you are my antidote
But why is the poison stronger

I need you – I want you – you are my antidote
I ain't looking for a cure any longer
I need you – I want you – you are my antidote
So will the poison still be stronger

11. Liferider

Looking out the window
On the train of life
Rolling into the future
Waiting to arrive

Crack life open have a look around
Lots of goodies to be found
Each new station is a novelty
Break out from monotony

What is it worth all this you're hoping for
Open the door

Liferider – find what you are looking for
Liferider – it is time to explore
Liferider – there's gotta be something more
Liferider – deep down in your inner core

Living it up like a king uncrowned
Don't you ever lose your ground
No action hero no prodigy
Write your own biography

What is it worth all this you're hoping for
Open the door

Liferider – find what you are looking for
Liferider – it is time to explore
Liferider – there's gotta be something more
Liferider – deep down in your inner core

Liferider – yeah – it is time to come alive

Liferider – you're the one who will survive
Liferider – like a cat with nine lives
Liferider – make it larger than life
Liferider – it's time to come alive

12. Memory Run

Friends, they come and go
Leaving their legacy
Here we pay them a tribute
With this true and plain elegy

Just like the dawn sun rises
They have enriched our lives
And like this song surmises
Their souls survive

United here we stand
With memories that never end
We ride into the setting sun
And honour them with this memory run

When the end's coming closer
Friends will always remain
Now that their time is over
Rest in peace till we meet again

Just like the dawn sun rises
They have enriched our lives
And like this song surmises
Their souls survive

United here we stand
With memories that never end
We ride into the setting sun
And honour them with this memory run
