1. Ghost Of A Stone

When I close my eyes what do I see?
My life is a day, which day is my last?
A thousand days but one I choose to go...

When I close my eyes I realize
The years have gone and things have changed
But the mirror shows the picture of a child
The twilight that I'm in denies a sight
The time has shown what a friend you are
If only I could know what we are living for

Momentary thoughts come over me
Memories have taken shape
Picturing the past into my mind
The colors of this world have strained my eyes
And what I have done was it all in vain?
If only I could know what we are dying for

I wished I had the ghost of a stone
One with the time wherever I go
They seem to outlast the dreams of the past
Feeding my soul with eternity

My heart will change into a grain of sand
A story fortress to defend
If only I could know where all the souls will go

I wished I had the ghost of a stone
One with the time wherever I go
They seem to outlast the dreams of the past
Feeding my soul with eternity

2. Future In My Hands

Face the day, seize a way – I'm the one who makes my day
Just look around and see the future as a chance of time
Oh fortune, don't let it go down with the wind
It's got to be alright I've driven all of my time
In the shadows of a broken man I can see myself
I'll go where the land is my friend
This time I'll make the start again
I won't need anyones help forever

I feel the world is turning
The room around me is beginning to grow
Too long a leaf in stormy nights
You tossed and blew me for the longest time
I gather ground each time when I try to make my day
I have got the future in my hands

I was too scared to run and just too weak to fight
You can take me for a fool there's nothing that could
Change my mind
A promise like a leap in the dark
I'm always dreamt of sunshine
When the days were filled with rain of sorrows
Second chances seem to arise on their own
This time I'll try to start again
I won't need anyones help forever

I feel the world is turning
You tossed and blew me for the longest time
Too long a leaf in stormy nights
I have got the future in my hands

What's the game, what's my stake – I still belong to where I am
Don't turn around – remember nothing ventured nothing gained
I'll go where the land is my friend
I have got the future in my hands
O won't be tossed and blown forever

3. Rain Of Gods

Oh my hands are tied rain has filled my mind
I feel like frozen food because
I've been running for miles and miles
Every single drop on my window pane
Is running down my spine
And rotating around my head

Life needs the light to get well again
We all long for the sun
Stop hoping – just stand this rain

This rain of gods this rain of tears
The world outside – full of autumn lights
In mystic ways the water flows
To wash away the coloured scenery

You say this rain is just a phase

Who is this lazy face, walking through the haze?
Searching for the sun
Another angel on a hopeless mission
Staring at the wall shows a leaking hole
The tide is rising high
I am drowning in a liquid misery

Life needs the light to get well again
We all long for a hearty lighter...
Just stand this rain!

Seasons come, seasons go
Who makes the rules, who could be so cruel?
With demons eyes you hypnotize
And obscure the way
But we don't know which way to go
My hands are tied – aimless running
It kills my smile, it takes my mind

On autumn days and in autumn nights
You say this rain is just a phase
But I refuse to believe
This rain of gods, this rain of tears
The world outside – ordinary
It kills my smile, it takes my mind
On all those days and in all those nights

4. Beat It When It Hurts

The eyes of an old man, the mist in his sight
A mindless surrender to the pain deep inside
He waits for the sunrise, but I know he won't see
He forgot is was hopeless with the tubes in his veins
I could feel the same!

I fear the pain in my brain
And I don't know how it will end

My life will change into a darker place
But I don't care I'll beat i when it hurts

I know where I'm going this way isn't new to me
But will I get a strange mind
Will I still remember my name?

5. The Autumn Years

It's the end of the road
And someone had sold all of my gold
I'm so tired of walking in the sun
There'll be no race to run
But maybe one game to win

The long empty road and I walk alone
Because the winter is near
I'm searching for a place I can hide
Under favour of night
Would you fail me in need?
Because the days come and go
When it's dark there's still a candle in my room
When it's cold I feel something keeps me warm
Leave the cold outside be with me when I die
This time I'm reaching outer lines

I'll be where I can reach the sky
In a land where the blind have sight
And I don't need to fight, I want to know
If there will be an endless summer?
How long will the moon shine on and cover the sun?
How far will the night extend into my life?
Don't be afraid in there's no tomorrow

When it's dark there's still a candle in my room
When it's cold I feel something keeps me warm
Look at me I'm still a prisoner in chains
Now my time is running through the open hands
Until now I wasn't able to break free
Leave the cold outside be with me when I die
This time I'm reaching outer lines

It's the end of the road
And someone had sold all of my gold

6. Seconds

You waste your minutes, knowing it's time from your life
The time is your guidance, leads you away from the child
And it will be with you anywhere
Looking back into the past shows me the days I was wrong
Even moments of pleasure were taken away by the hands of time
But there always arose a new day for me
I can't deny...

Time after time we return
Out of darkness into light

Day by day people astray, they're watching how the world sheds a tear
We are dancing on a tight-rope, sowing the seeds of a venemous game
But there's not even time for a little handshake

I know that we can't go on as we want
Even earth has changed it's way around the sun
But the seconds still run
Soon they will be lost forever

Time, what have you done to me?
You slow down this turning wheel
I know the years are getting colder now
Trying to get the speed again

You slow down this turning wheel
And a mountain you throw in my way

There's a place I've never seen, lend me some time from your life
It seems to be an acceptable
A lot of your dreams won't come true to you
As sure as this game will go on and on
I can't deny...
Night after night we're used to the hope
That the morning brings us gold...

7. Lead Me To The Door

Is there a god beneath the sun?
If not don't worry!
I'm reading the sentence inside my mind
And I won't be afraid of anything
That grows within, that grows apart
That grows somewhere out in the dark

I know it sounds to absurd
Ending my life with your helping hand is criminal
But I don't understand
I guess we all play to pretend
But leaving the stage when you have played
Your final part is the best you can do

Lead me to the door, see the truth – it's nothing cruel
Blame it on the age, lead me to the door
That's all I want from you

Staring at the door, there's nobody
Easing my pain, they just leave me alone
But tell me where is humanity?
In a battle you kill your children
While you don't let an old man go, to see that light
A light that can shine so bright as the sun

Lead me to the door, see the truth – it's nothing cruel
Blame it on the age, like a dream that won't come true
Lead me to the door, that's all I want from you

How could I just believe in medicine
When they promised my time would be prolonged with tubes & cables
Now there's no way out
Stranded in a state, in a godless heaven
He opens a million doors to that light
A light that can shine so bright as the sun

Lead me to the door, see the truth – it's nothing cruel
Blame it on the age, like a dream that won't come true
Lead me to the door, that's all I want from you

8. Enter Nowhere

My inner sanity is slipping through the chains
Answers of the night are shadowing my mind
When do I have to follow, the tension thrills my guide
Now the spirit leads my sight to a land without a light

Enter nowhereland, enter nowhereland

This time I need to know, each time I've wondered
When they told me about the lonely man
Sitting in his wonderland
Could it be the man in the streets just begging for a smile?
Why do I have to be afraid when even angels die?

Enter nowhereland, enter no-mans-land

Hope is my devotion, trust is my belief
So the stories for the child still living in my mind
Could it be a land without light, a silent misery
A kingdom of infinity, this time I need to know

Enter nowhereland, enter no-mans-land

9. The Heroes Return

The dream is over but the echoes still laugh in my ears
Strange this journey like a picture of Dorian Gray
But how many times did I beg you
Show me a way to be just the way you've been
Because I dreamt on the stars and their fate
Where is the key to the fortune?

I'll be a son, you'll be my way
I break the silence
Because I don't want to dance to their tune
Like the man, the man in the crowd
Can I be sure that the heroes roturn to my world?

The world around me, there seems to be no place for the weak
But all these heroes, they've come to take care of my life
Now that I found I have lost them
Life won't be sunny without them anymore
I guess we all need a shelter
A dream is a place we can run to...

I had a dream, I was a twin
A copy of myself
At no time alone with the pain
Like the man, the man in the crowd
I always hoped that a hero returns to my world

I'll be a son, you'll be my way
Break the silence
Don't start to dance to their tune
Follow me, offer a smile
We could be brothers
At no time alone with the pain
Like the man, the man in the crowd
A copy of myself he waits for the heroes' return
