1. Nero

"Nero"...

I'm facing the days
with trying to feel
nothing is over
nothing is real
while searching for ways
out of the deep
how this world can be a place to breath again

And I begin to wonder
how life could get away from me
with all I couldn't save
silence the only way

Since you've been gone
I try to arrange
with nothing but fear
I don't want the change
emptiness haunts
at day and by night
And how on earth will I be able to
feel again?

And when I am gone
you'll have nothing to fear
just silence that knows
that I will not be here
I'll leave you in hope
to remember the days
we walked through the light
until we had to part ways...

2. Afterlife

You say you want
your end to be chosen free
another death
to defend your honesty
but no one else
will know the answer
you fall with lies
so why not fight till the end

We can fix it
if we try
I know your better days
and there are better ways
to start an afterlife

You say it has
nothing to do with me
we die alone
without any sanity
so tell me please
what will it show
Oh, think of me
so please please don't go

So what do you want to show
where do you want to go
what do want to hide
what do you want from life

It's like a badge
around the neck
it seems your oath is all ready
for attack

3. Out Of Time

I am lurking in daily routine
and dreaming my life ahead
deferring the goals in life
there is wisdom in the eye of tomorrow
so I better sleep today
slowly trying to revive
as suddenly the watch hour
calls upon my name

I am running out of time
feeling how it outgrows
more and more behind
no faith in me
peace out of sight
I am running out of time
seeing how weakness shows
as I am fading
it's all to soon

So you learn from your mistakes
I tried it all and turned away
everyone seems to run
collateral concessions build my world
so I leave to find a start
to finish up on my ending
with a fistful of tears
remember me how hard I tried

Memory has been erased again
all their eyes
watching me fall
memory has been erased again
all their eyes
wanting this so long

4. Fight!

It shakes your body
don't fuck around
'cause you've been fooled
trapped under native ground
and you feel old
lined from the past
it's what it takes
'cause nothing is steady to last

You think you feel alive?
You've been wrong
all wrong
so come and fight
stand up and fight!

And the days without the pain
will come again
when you feel defaulted
feel insulted
no one will hold your head

All pretty sold
your arms are strong
grab all your weapons
don't mess no day
I hold your crown in a thousand worlds
a second bill
is all to thrive
stand up and fight
I want to fight

Reload your weapons
take 'em down

I say you fight
fight fight
I want to fight
FUCK YOU!

It's been all inside
they want to be way
over you and over you
seems there is a way you will find some
peace tonight

5. Don't Let The Devil Get Me

Bring up the sirens
bring 'em up
when it's time
in this oh my eternal kingdom
on a dead horse
the king is king
for the taste of it
once in a million times

White turns black
and suddenly I shiver
the storm calls ice
and I feel the devil's touch
blood turns red
on through the river
I can see the other man's life

I have followed you home
to bite the fruit of HELL
traced the taste
and the smell of sin
what is wrong seems to be so right

So don't let the devil
(get me)

Man,
I have come from all
but life it changes –
he has seen no other than me

6. My Saviour

Bring back the days
where you and me were one
fighting the world
as brothers
against everyone
my friend
I thank you
for every single day
even in darkest hours
you stood next to me

I would have been lost here
dead and gone
rolling the dice for all things to come
I would have been lonely from day one

You were my saviour
again and again

I want to thank you
in a very special way
I will give my heart to you
'cause music is the way
I owe my life
to the Gods of Rock 'n' Roll
even in darkest times
music saved my soul

I'm missing the days
missing the times
let life go on
I'm missing their lives
missing their ways
let life go on

7. Glory

It's been so hard
to line in for a better life
but I don't know anything
that's come close to this
wonderful glory

No
I don't feel it anymore
all the love in this world
and not being with you

Don't try to erase me

It's been going on
going on far too long

And all the pain, it won't just
take me home
from where I come
I need to follow

Quietly silently I fall

No
I don't feel it anymore
it's turning into memories here
for me and you

Coming down
coming home
and then
a light of hope
it all
comes together

Close your eyes

8. The Great Escape

As the sun awakes gently
over the window
pale
a morning of grace
brings a breeze of change
so change my life

Time to go
outside there's a world
I hear calling me
and I know
I won't return
don't you follow me
I can't come back
it's over
my days run away
out of this place
and away from the days
I leave this to find me...
...back here

As the sun sets again without
a warning
at dusk I feel the misery
of the unachieved life
back again
tomorrow
change my life

It's my great escape in circles
I am going nowhere
I am looking nowhere
I am going nowhere

9. The Locked In Syndrome

It's been inside you
it's been around you
it's been here a thousand years
waiting inside
and I have warned you
now I have come for you
I came a long way to
overrun
you

It came from a thousand places
with nothing but a change
I read it in their faces
life can feel so strange
It overdrove my borders
nothing I could do
but hiding from the crazy
hiding from you

And now I am locked inside
the key is out of sight
but with denying
life still doesn't feel alright
back then I chose to fight
fight all the things that might
hoping the days without it
won't come again

Now I'm torn without you
I'm the one alone
all the things I've been through
have turned my eyes to stone
why won't they believe me?
This world has left me dead
I wish that I could break free
be me instead

So rest your call...

How come their faces look all the same
when a life a million costs?
I've been asked for a trillion – lost
hold me on
the ratio's called for a desperate time

I have seen their faces
all the time
without eyes
we are a million faces
without traces

10. Dark Sign

I draw a dark sign
on every door
the devil knows who is evil to the core
I draw a dark sign on the floor
to remember me
that I could care more

So let us pass the universe
to the heroes of the other day

You think you need a break to dissolve
the problem of a global
artificial contention

I saw a dark sign
on every door
they told me we are evil
to the core
I saw a dark sign on the floor
but I don't know
if I really care anymore

A wicked warning
from words in stone
we are not the same
our fear will breathe on its own
a wicked warning to the alive
we are yet evil
and faithful to the bone

I awake in a sea of tears
say goodbye to your new age romance

11. Onwards!

I was born into trouble son
trouble is the game we play
suddenly pounding at the back of my head
and I finally found a way
Black feet proven on their endless roam
howling on the chosen way
I've been crawling on
for a destined life
and finally you want to say
Oh...

I am getting closer to the end

I hold on to the back of my gun
waiting for the chosen day
Forward we march – until we meet again
a different life all the same
I try to run to you
and still walk away
I have come to follow you
as I try to follow
you turn away

What do you do when war comes back for you?
