2. Plane You Down

talk to me my destiny – my life ain?t what it used to be
you ain?t the one to set me free – no remedy
insanity – reality – again a touch of agony
I?m not the one you?d like to see – the enemy!

come what may – another day – I won?t be here – I?m on my way
tomorrow?s just like yesterday – so what do ya say?
games you play – the price you pay – I never had the chance to pray
to gods who could stop the fast decay – so I won?t stay

While you feel the shuffle of silence I slowly fall asleep at the wheel....

Plane – you – down – think about the past now – think about your history
Plane – you – down – talk to me – talk to me!
Plane – you – down – this could be the last time I?m gonna wear your secret crown
Plane – you – down!

bye and bye – another lie – to justify another try
all you need?s an alibi – before you die!
so you run around like a wingless fly to force your friends to ask you why
you can?t deny that you start to cry – `cause your life?s so dry!

While you feel the shuffle of silence........

Plane – you – down............

3. Beyond The Sundown

Beyond the sundown – you?re just a beast without a name
beyond the sundown – life is more than just a game
beyond the sundown – mirrors rise and shadows fall
beyond the sundown – darkness rises after all

beyond the sundown – you need light and light needs pain
beyond the sundown – silence breaks and scars remain
beyond the sundown – it?s your memory and the truth
beyond the sundown – there ain?t nothing left to lose

I walk around in circles – I walk alone and blue
I talk to strange illusions – in need of something true
I?ve seen a billion faces – I?ve seen the prince of lies
I?ve seen a million places branded by the lord of flies

so I won?t take your orders – so I won?t take your smile
I?d sail across the oceans – I?d walk the endless mile
so all your secret sinners – thou shalt not live in fear!
I won?t believe in answers – while somethings always near

beyond the sundown – I?d be you and you?d be me
beyond the sundown – every word was like a key
beyond the sundown – would you lie to me in vain?
beyond the sundown – just like here and now-insane?

beyond the sundown

beyond the sundown – I wouldn?t be the one to blame
beyond the sundown – I wouldn?t be your road to fame
beyond the sundown – you?d be just a waste of time
beyond the sundown – to break a promise would be a crime

and if I?d say goodbye today
would there be another way
would you cry just like a clown
way beyond the last sundown?
and if I?d leave without a word
-ain?t that just a little absurd?-
would you give the king back his crown
and wait for me beyond sundown?

4. Insania

Here's to you, my fatherland
silent scream – my only friend
traces – disillusion – down
masquerader – sailor – clown
I was born without a home
blue wherever I may roam
seems like finally I would find
everlasting peace of mind
– Insania

all the laughter – all the pain
all the troubles – all the rain
all the fun we had – INSANIA
all the rumors – all the heat
all the prayers to the backbeat
all the things we said – INSANIA – gone too far...

in my heart – in my soul
I take a dice and let it roll
there's a place for the last and the only ones
there's place for disgrace where the braindeer runs
to the pole.
All my life I tried to hide
where the rising shaddows ride
teardrops from a spaceship flown
silent waters made of stone – Insania...

5. In The Deep Of The Night

Where the rich become the beggars
and the wise become the fools
some jaded heart may turn the page
and start to break the rules

way beyond the distance
the knaggy oaks of truth
wake thoughts of resistance
and send you on the loose

in the deep of the night
with your face on the ground
you'll learn to spit at the devil
not to get pushed around

in the deep of the night
when you gaze at the stars
when the fogs cry "freedom"
you'd better count your scars

maybe I'm sinner
and maybe I ain't no saint
but I know the ancient dreams
of the bounded and the chained

slavery or justice
holy preacher's fail
but preservatived lust
is getting outa jail now

in the deep of the night
with your face on the ground
you'll learn to spit at the devil
not to get pushed around

6. Subway Angel's Caravan

Someday – time will tell – you will see
what a gift this life is – we
are meant to be
free

when we leave this world behind
the magic of the night
leads the naked and the blind
to the other side
of a dreamer's golden mind
and forevers burn so bright
turn around and you will find
another shinin' light

down on senseless avenue
all your fantasies come true
welcome home, my chosen few

when your hot gets a little cold
when your young gets a little old
your now gets a little then
subway angel's caravan

there's a seat that knows your name
when things have gone astray
and there's no one left to blame
'cause your friends all went away
i'm the reason you've denied
and the clown of life's decay

down on senseless avenue.....

"love rules" says the neon sign
"trust calls when your blood is wine..."

when your hot gets a little cold....

7. Pianoman

оригинал: Billy Joel

8. Somebody's Out There

somebody's out there – calling your name in the night
somebody's out there – somewhere

somebody's out there with the cold winds of tomorrow
somebody's turning the wheels of time
the closer you get the deeper the night
the stronger you feel the more you need
someone to hold you tight
a place you can hide

you and I – invisible
whole life is such a miracle

somebody – somebody – somebody's out there
to name it all legends fall
to tell about it
somebody – somebody – somebody's out there
to blame it all – another wall
to lead me back to you

is there anybody out there – is he wise and is he real?
Does he pay attention when someone cries or what we feel?
Is he reading my nightmares, love affairs, against the wind cares
got to be older or bolder or on my way?

you and I – invisible.......

9. My Last Farewell

So here's to you – my last farewell:

I hate your face
i hate your smile
i hate your grace
i hate your style
i hate your words
your silence, too
-all i can say is: i hate you

i hate your good
i hate your bad
i hate your blue
i hate your red
i hate your clothes
your presence, too
-all i can say is: i hate you

there's a trace and a tear below
my wishes taste like fire
you're just a gun for hire

so here's to you – my last farewell
i hope your soul will burn in hell
i've worked real hard to break this spell
all that remains is my last farewell

i hate your wrong
i hate your right
i hate your strong
i hate your light
i hate your soft
your violence, too
-all i can say is: i hate you

there's a trace....

i hate your truth – i hate your lies
i hate your false self sacrifices
i hate your tricks – your matches, too
all I can say is: i hate you

so here's to you – my last farewell

10. Gods Of Darkness

The silent gods of darkness
let owls rain down on me
red roses from tomorrow
renew my last dawn's key

like the drifter needs the road
and the poet needs the pain
like the thief needs everything
and the flower needs the rain
all I need is a deep black sky
and the silence of the night
I use to sleep all day
just to hide from the rays of light

but now suddenly
everything has changed
confusion rules my mind
my whole life's been dearranged

just to see you once again
I'd walk the endless mile
sittin' here while the sun shines bright
and the colours of your smile
let the fogs burn in jealousy
am I wrong or am I right?
after stayin' up all day
I really slept last night!!!

your kisses taste like blood
and your skin's deadly cold
behind your dark sunglasses
your face looks young but old
and now you start to cry and say:
"for you I can stand the light
for a while but not for longer
'cause I'm a creature of the night"

the silent gods of darkness.........

11. Roots Of Hate

So you say you hate and you're ready to fight
you're filled up with agressions
you say it's too late
to discuss for your right – you got violent obsessions

But history shows whenever hate grows
it's giving you misery and pain
it's a deadly illusion to find a solution
by usin' your fist – not your brain

The roots of hate – when destiny's callin'
the dark side of fate
some conscience is fallin'
the roots of hate – are small
in a cave without light they grow 'till the night
turns our fears
into burnin' tears

For billions of years since the very first date
there were fights and damnations
but destruction and fears never made problems fade
'cause the blade of a sword kills all patience

But history shows whenever hate grows
it's giving you misery and pain
it's a deadly illusion to find a solution
by usin' your fist – not your brain

The roots of hate – when destiny's callin'
the dark side of fate
some conscience is fallin'
the roots of hate – are small
in a cave without light they grow 'till the night
turns our fears
into burnin' tears

In the trashcan of mercy
some fallen angel cries
in fear and desperation
while another hero dies

The roots of hate – when destiny's callin'
the dark side of fate
some conscience is fallin'
the roots of hate – are small
in a cave without light they grow 'till the night
turns our fears
into burnin' tears

12. The Clown

Now that the show is over
and the people have all gone
I face the final curtain
it's just the same old song
I make 'em laugh – I make 'em cry
dream on loud until I die alone
with a heart of stone?

I'm pushing every fader
for tenderness and fame
another masquerader
and noone left to blame
the tears inside – the burning rains
I have to hide – my smile remains
as long as walls come tumbling down
the world always needs a clown

I know the world keeps spinning round
and round and round again
I catch the flames of yesterday
and I do the best I can
well, I'm the entertainer
a poet in the ring
some call me a joker
and some like to hear me sing

the world always needs a clown

13. Nosferatu

Nosferatu – all the tears and all the pain
Nosferatu – all the years – their graves remain
Nosferatu – would you share a little drink with me
Nosferatu – until the sunlight sets you free

Nosferatu – times have changed and always will
Nosferatu – now you're way too old to kill
Nosferatu – you steel your blood from hospitals
Nosferatu – you're afraid of aids and lonely cells

nights of blood and nights of darkness
nights of passion – nights of hate
nights of rumours. nights of silence
nights of doubt came much too late
nights now fill your heart with sorrow
you can't sleep without your daily wine
so now you're waiting for tomorrow
and the morning sun to shine

Nosferatu – on that hill – alone and grey
Nosferatu – You see the children and not prey
Nosferatu – when the light slowly takes your hand
Nosferatu – burns to ashes in the end

14. Walls Of Never

this' one's dedicated
to those who never give
to those who always take and break
to tears and pain they live

this one's dedicated
to those who never care
to those who always preach and lie
and leave you cold and bare

this one's dedicated
to those who make you cry
to those who take your dreams away
and always crucify

born in the age of fireworks
it's a case of do or die
pain causes a hundred reasons fly
walls of never

like a scream of hate in a silent movie
honesty seems out of date
triumph – testament – eliza
raise your glass for those who wait

cause this one's dedicated
to those who still believe
to those who sing and draw write
who try, protect and weave
walls of never...

15. A Matter Of Size

From the cradle to the grave
from the ego to the ghost
from the master to the slave
the bigger – the better – the most

so all you secret heroes
there's a reason for cries:
from lonely 1's to 0's
it's just a matter of size

from the short guy with a dog
from the river to the sea
from his thinkin' with the cock
to a braindeath – remedy

so all you secret heroes....

it's just a matter of size

17. Wisdom Of Steel

the Father: "Now my son, the time has come to
defend our world and burn a tale
finally you?re the chosen one to
raise your hand so do not fail.
If you feel like eyes of darkness
would follow you until the end
try to hear the bloodhounds bark
– they?re here to stay – the last command.
There you ride and no tomorrow
will ever take my pain away.
You were born to fight and now my sorrow
will burn my soul `til judgement day"

The son: "the word – the fame – the knife – the blade
the guts – the shame – the choice we?ve made
the gods to blame – beyond the fire
all dead in vain – for you – you liar!

Take me back to where I hear
the march of doom controls my ears
I yelled a hundred thousant "why?s"
but still I?m dead – no compromise!

Father, you?ve lied!
your only son has died!

Now beyond the wall of light
and the mighty iron wheel
I refuse to be your sword forever
Wisdom of steel!

If you see the bloodred skies
would you dare to think of me
and if you hear the battlecries
would you know I?m finally free.
When the time has come for you to
close your eyes in silent screams
tell the priest to bang a drum
and I?ll appear in all your dreams...

Now beyond the wall of light......."

18. Circle Of Pain

Man will come and man will go
man will fight and still don't know
why man must altuays rise and fall
take the gun and want it all
man of hatred – man of gain
man of children died in vain
man of war – what for?

man must eat and man must kill
man must pay another bill
man must do what leaders say
but men believe in "their own way"
man hits wife and wife beats kid
kid kicks dog but the dog's too fit
to bite the cat for a chain
and the circle of pain

men of steel and men of pride
do sometimes need a place to hide
men of trust and men of black
some men are never comin' back
man needs money – money needs fame
man who loses tries to blame
the world, the stars, the rain
and the circle of pain

stairway melter
lightning strikes when
frightening shelter likes – you

circle of pain – mankind insane
over and over – you cannot deny
that the world's biggest lie
does remain – in the circle of pain

man needs trouble – man needs sin
man must play and always win
man needs women – you ain't got one?
well, real men hide their tears in blood
man must walk alone but tall
and man must hate the wake up call
men go down the drain – circle of pain

funny how it seems to be a little bit of history
funny how it seems to be a little bit of....life?

19. Never Say Never

Never say never – never say die
never never never – never say die

time is a liar
life is a trail
lords of desire
and the cheque's in mail
close your eyes and you will see
the dark side of your fantasy
eyes of lust and dreams of black
heroes gone that won't come back

politicians cheat and lie
blind corruption makes you cry
destination face to face
conscience gone without a trace
white man – black man – might have been
just the colour – of your skin
"all the perople shall be equal!"
so why do we cause the pain?

"...It is a fact that most crimes committed
against people because of their colour or religion
had nothing to do with the individual personality
of the victims. Since the tragic death of Dr. Martin
Luther King the word race war has got a terrifying
meaning to all minorities all over the world..."

never say never – never say die
never look back when you say goodbye
you gotta be black – you gotta be white
never say never – unchain the night

Lost in the darkness – strangers on the loose
even your touch now can't take away my blues
destiny – the rest of me
hatred took humanity
freedom is the only treasure
so why can't you let it be

"... is pain just another word for life?
do we frist have to blled before we reach the point
to be somebody
do dreams come true after loneliness and desperation have gone?
some say yey – some say no – but in the end:
who knows?..."

never say never – never say die
never look back when you say goodbye
you gotta be black – you gotta be white
you gotta be the light
Never say never – never say Cain
never shed tears in the falling rain
you gotta be strong on the edge of your life
never say never – shall we die?

20. Just A Mouldrin? Body

Just a boy – not yet a man
when he heard the army?s call
way too young to understand
still proud of standing tall

Fightin?for honor – guts and glory
one by one – side by side
a burning village – this often told story
an old man screaming in the night:

"Stop this madness all around – are you still to blind to see?
Just a mouldrin?body on the ground is all you?re bound to be!"

some are born to think – some are born to lie
and some just live to kill!
Some never dare to yell a "why"
before they take another senseless hill.
His fellows fell – he watched them die
and the blood became his closest friend
a heart of stone never lets you cry
so you carry on until the end.

"Stop this madness all around........"!!!!!!

"Soldier, use your brain and lay your weapons down!!!!!!
Soldier, use your brain and lay your weapons down!!!!!!
Soldier, use your brain and lay your weapons down!!!!!!
– Lay your weapons down!!!!

Soldier, use your brain and lay your weapons down................."

21. Desert Wind

I can feel a desert wind – hear it howlin? in the streets tonight
It?s a warning no one fears – and there ain?t no place where we can hide........

Living in a world full of empty hearts and blinded eyes
millions of strangers rule this land.
Plastic people all around while conversation dies.
subculture?s choice or last command?

Lack of communication leads to asphalt deserts – streets of pain.
Darkness on the rise!

When all the water's banned
and cares are buried under sand
The wind will turn into a wasteland serenader
So wake up – just stop feeding dust
Open your minds and learn to trust
It's never too late – never too late to try

outfit?s so importand – will it still be when the curtan dalls?
media creations on the loose
where will we run to when we hear the first coyote?s call?
Sick sensations in the news!

Lack of communication...

22. Friends

Where strangers meet and lovers lie
where loosers win and winners cry
down on senseless boulevard
where they run so fast but they won't get far
when the lights go out and the neon signs
promise everything you want between the lines
there's a reason why and a place to hide
welcome to the other side

I don't believe in any word you say
how could it be forever – when dreams decay

you never know who your friends are
you never know who your friends are
you never know who your friends are
....'til you need 'em

now the night after judgement day
four horsemen ride down lost highway
if rains on senseless boulevard
Saint Valentine sleeps in astolen car
the broken promise finds a friend called wine
words of trust are the first in line
Judge says: "Son, shoulda know your bride"
welcome to the other side

I don' believe....

23. Mephisto

He was water when the river
took a screaming mother's life
in the night he was the reasonn
why the ripper used his knife
he was anger, hate and misery
in a billion deadly wars
he was the rising flag of violence
when fanatism made the laws

he did where the snake led Adam
to damnation with a grin
he was around when the young girl lost her innocence
to a man not worth her sin
all the years he was a gambler
threw the cards and rolled the dice
fed the ages of temptation
with the grapes of sacrifice

mephisto – just a painted voice
mephisto – when you cut quit noise
mephisto – with a helping hand
mephisto – you're lost my friend
with every soul he takes
another piece of his cold heart breaks

he was not allowed to cry
when the earth screamed loud in pain
when silence broke the music
and millions died in vain
he's the inner voice of darkness
that makes your conscience die
he was the smoke over battlefields
and the deadly thirst of science

mephisto...

24. Something To Believe In

The 21st century says "hello
-I'm the first to come but the last to go
you seem to be alive-but hey, you never know that"
we all need something to belive in

the wicked prince of Babylon
met the beast of bourbon and suddenly was gone
his soldiers rode and still ride on
-we all need something to believe in

something to believe in
something for the pain
when your heart calls you a liar
and a dream?s gone down the drain
something to believe in
when your tears fall down like rain
when your memories burn like fire
you need something to remain

Cleopatra cried: "I want my money back"
-red light-wrong side of the track
so Ceasar bought a cadillac
-we all need something to believe in

well, the mystery of beeing right or wrong
is just one line of a 40-verse-song
if it doesn?t kill you it'll make you strong
we all need something to believe in

something to believe in
that's what we are all lookin' for
and when you finally got it in your hands
all you want is even more
something to believe in
-but the truth is hard to find
'cause life is just a journey
and the aim is in your mind

something to believe in

25. Wheels Of Time

The one and only liar
lost his faith and cried
where the broekn candles burn
he gazed into the fire
saw the truth and died
and the wheels of time did turn

and when the strangers meet
to face my heart – my life – my tears inside
in this world we know
where do we go without pride?
hey mister, can't you tell me
why the bells call

and the wheels of time will turn forever
fear the silence in my soul
and the wheels of time will turn and never
rest where golden dices roll
and the wheels of time will turn – forever's
just a six – feet – under – hole

the last and lonely hero
latley passed away
his ghost is ridin' on the wind
destination zero
every single day
he shares a smile with those who sinned

and the wheels of time....

26. Never Loose Again

Most of the time
I tried to win
in a world that's much too cold to see
but still I believe
there's a river to cross
and beyond the waters someone waits for me

and all the years I can't deny
and all the tears you'll never cry for me

but I will never loose again
saw all the things I had to see
and I will never loose again
all the pain – all the pride
all the rain and all the light

most of the time
I tried to live
like an eagle on his wings up in the skies
and I made some mistakes
but still no regrets
and all the reasons are like mountains in my eyes

and so I take my clothes again
hit the road – it's over when I'm gone
on and on

and I will never loose again....

27. The Angel And The Raven

one stormy night an angel fell
the raven sold his dreams in hell
to keep the light from burning skies
like he's been told to roll the dice

the angel smiled and said hello
I'm just a tale from long ago
the endless mile I've walked alone
l've roamed the trail of tears and stone

fogs rise – when dreams decay
fools – wise – who dares to say
it's over now – it's over now – someway – somehow
the wheel stopped turning
it's over now – it's over now – it's over now
and real

the raven laughed and then he cried
of war and blood and those who died
"...one friend to have is worth the weight
and what you've got – you'll see too late..."

28. The End

This is the end of love – is this the end?
this is the end!

a little boy stands by the waterfall
– he wants it all
he's tremblin' in his rage
and life soon turns the page

the little boy's now growing older fast
and even though his aims don't last
he's on the run – another one
like all the rest

what are we fightin' for
why do we still want more?
another lie – another battlecry
as time goes by

this is the end of love
this is the end of hope
this is the end and this is the time
and maybe it's just a simple rhyme
this is the end of life
and this is the end of the fight
there's so much we never should understand
and this is the end

the little boy's now grey to pass away
waitin' for his judgement day
– come what may
when dreams decay

and here I stand and watch the waters flow
and still I don't know
where do we go from here?
