2. Monsters & Men

SEASONS OF WAR
Can we meet around the bend
Will you,listen my friend
I'm not as bad as you may think
Among monsters and men
Now, don't get fooled by the scars
Or the seasons of war
I'm just a simple man like you
Finding out where to go

Isn't it strange how some fanatic
Always love to feed the fire
The Puppeteer is sending
All his boys to kingdom come

I just dream like you do
And at times I get blue
It's just to same of "womentalk"
But I try to stay true
Here's a family man
That wanna reahc out of hand
But sitting trapped inside this war
In a kingdom of sand

Isn't it strange how some fanatic
Always love to feed the fire
The Puppeteer is sending
All his boys to kingdom come

PROPHETS AND PREACHERS
Each have their cross, ready to bleed and sacrifice
Prophets and preachers, ready to move into your life
Freedom that do come cheap is treasured allright
But freedom for the underdog
Means more than his own life

Call him a demon and he'll pour the poison in your cup
Build him a bomb that you'd better advice him not to drop
Freedom that do come cheap is treasured allright
But freedom for the underdog
Means more than his own life

SILENT RIVER
Stand by the silent river, river of time
A million souls float by not really knowing why
A million driven by a secret holy plan
Some try to catch a tide, get up and live again
The more you look, the more you try
The more you free, the inner eye
There's a mountain we could climb

If you dread the final breath, now don't you hold it in
I ending means 10 beginnings, goodbye to bone and skin
The love that you sent out will hit you in return
Go build the life you wanted, get up live and learn
The more you look, the more you try
The more you free the inner eye
There's a mountain we could climb

3. Jealousy

How I love it when you're down
I love when your wings
Are nailed to the ground
And your pain brings me joy
But I'm a lonely and cold jealous boy
And this feeling is all that I know
I've been taken and bent by the undertow
I hope you hurt like I hurt, I do
Hope you join my emotional vertigo

When it rains, it rains, ir rains
My memories, they're fading fast
Like watercolors in the rain
So much I want to say
But I'm locked away

How I love when you fail
When your wings are tied down to the rail
When that train run you down
See that smile break down into a frown
Any devil gives credit to me
Turning triumph to sweet misery
Guess I locked my door to love long ago
And the questions don't come
For the answers I know

When it rains, it rains, ir rains
My memories, they're fading fast
Like watercolors in the rain
So much I want to say
But I'm locked away
I'm a lonely and cold jealous boy

4. Hit Me With A Hit

If you really wanted to
You could write a hit
You could cut the corners
And you could make things fit
Are you really ready to believe it?
Are you really taking my advice?
Do you have a mission, can you see it?
Do you really feel that you are alright?

And soon you'll dine with presidents
And soon your name will get that nicer ring
You'll be the one familiar face
In hollow echoes from a world you sing

We don't want no bloody poem
We don't want your second thoughts
Don't you think you overdo it?
Have you heard that less is more?

You don't have to fight for regocnition
You don't have to sweat to get the gold
You just have to shake those two and listen
You just have to do what you are told

And soon you'll dine with presidents
And soon your name will get that nicer ring
You'll be the one familiar face
In hollow echoes from a world you sing

6. Lucy Had A Dream

Lucy had a dream last night
Lucy dreams in black and white
Lucy was left there on her own
Out in the field, out in the cold
She had her summerdress, no shoes
She had no plan, she had no clue

Maybe the angels beamed her down
Maybe she hurried out of town
Leaving a family behind
Is someone missing her?

God knows where little Lucy goes
She's alone in her dream in the field
The men just moving in and out of her life
Just to prove she's not dead, she's alright

Lucy has a dream last night
Lucy is beyond the skies
Lucy is higher than a kite
In the back of 60's Cadillac
She has a stranger in her arms
She ain't going back home until dawn

God knows where little Lucy goes
She's alone in her dream in the field
The men just moving in and out of her life
Just to prove she's not dead, she's alright

7. Bavarian Skies

Goodnight, goodbye, auf wiedersehen
Now time has come for sleep
May god forgive me if I dwell
Once more in glorious dreams
For 50 years I've lived in exile
They'd like to see me swing

I've moved around to escape the lies
I've turned away from those hateful clowns
Jealous and greedy, star of David
We made them kneel
But still their gog couldn't save'em
Goodbye, finito, the finmal solution is real

Goodnight, goodbye, auf wiedersehen
Now time has one more dream
I dream of old Bavarian skies
And mountain views beneath
I loved my country just like you
But times turned out so strange, so strange

Someone may claim I was evil
Now even notorious, now that's a lie
There is no smoke without a fire
Them jews they are liars, now we have proved
Such an excellent scapegoat, let's move them
They're better off where we sent them

Germany was going bad, all wrong
So we asked our god for a strong man
To give back the glory land
That was the dawn, the beginning of impact
We are felt so strong, how could we all be wrong
For once god's glory shone over Germany
No more defeat, no more retreat
So unified, we were all so proud
We were "über alles"
What a glorious feeling of power

8. Selfconsuming Fire

She's waiting for the early tide
She turned back where the road got wider
She's looking for a soft asylum
Thinking loneliness is such a bitch to juggle

Been searching in the book of dreams
Been dreaming of a desert flower
Been waiting for the perfect touch
To release her from the self-consuming fire

Been hiding in a solitude
Grim exile in the business towers
A life amongst the living dead\nAfraid to see what's building up inside of her

Five frozen faces fade away
Like still life in twilight hour
As memories of years gone by
The years of glorious undivided power

A flower tamed at your expense
A friend that could have been your lover
Sing softly from a world unchained
To catch the dawning resurrection hour

Five frozen faces fade away
Like still life in twilight hour
As memories of years gone by
The years of glorious undivided power

A flower tamed at your expense
A friend that could have been your lover
Sing softly from a world unchained
To catch the dawning resurrection hour

She tapped into the lucid dreams
To try escape the wildest fire
The fires that consume her soul
The way out is getting stony, steep and narrow

She's following the spiral down
She's trapped inside the wicked powers
If only she could hurt her God?
He'd crush her soul in the 11th hour

9. Mommy Leave The Light On

Mommy leave the light on
Tell me that the monster is gone
One more lullaby to sing
Mommy leave the radio on

Let no intruders make their way into my dreams
So mommy keep it nice and clean
You light a fire and keep the animals away
I'll try forget that I'm afraid

Mommy you can tell me why
There is no way we can escape from dying?
Mommy can you tell me I get well
I really don't care if you're lying

If god still have his kingdom
Far beyond the skies
Now do you think he can hear our cries?
Can daddy take me sail across the milty way?
I'll try forget that I'm afraid

10. End On A High Note

The world is open
The world is alive
It's technicolor and the sun is slowly rising
The morning sun
Can almost set the hills on fire
All along the coastline
You can hear the seagulls cries

Is it me that paints a picture
Is it me that directs the day?
Am I one amongst the millions
That will see the world this way?
Is it part of the illusion
All the overwhelming scenes?
Is it love that found it's way in here
To lift my beating heart away?

Oh, oh...

I can see the beauty
In a thousand different faces
I can hear the small talk
In the far and distant market places
Everybody is special
It's the highlight of their story
New life is in the meeting
Of the glowing morning glory

Oh, oh...

The world is even, yes the world is alright
We all just float about like sleepy satelites
Watching the cycles, see the seasons change
From thunderous rivers to the sunny lanes

The world is grooving to a brand new beat
The ground is swaying below our feet
All we ask for is a bit of happiness
And a smile upon our children's faces

11. Minor Giant Steps

Now imagine, can you, can you, if you will
See the sunrise "colorize" the hills
All the waters running down the mountain streams
Flood of Eden bring to life this dream

Tiny steps
Minor giant steps in the world unite
Tiny steps, in the wisdom ramp
Minor giant steps in the world unite

On the mountain side, silver thread unwind
Gently linger on, crystal waters chime
Watch the engineer get the details right!
Watch him shape the day
Out of the darkness comes the light
Out of the darkness and the night

Tiny steps, in the wisdom ramp
Minor giant steps in the world unite

Now we understand how we play a part
In the tireless games
Circles round a sacred heart
All the beauty there is
Our perception of the dream
Sharing equally, all like players of a team

Sixtynine, we're walking on the moon
Sending those waves to see if we're alone
50 million keep choking in the sun
Nothing learned from life still dog eat dog

It's just a transmission so we don't mind
But what about god and what lies behind
Those patterns are old and make no sense
So keep on exploiting until the end

The masterminds create the new frontiers
So "einstein me" please I wanna see it clear
Bit by bit they took this world apart
There's no more secret left as it hit the market

It's just a transmission so we don't mind
But what about god and what lies behind
Those patterns are old and make no sense
So keep on exploiting until the end

I'm just the minor giant soul
Trying so hard to understand
The things that I cannot see
Arise from inside of me

Coming to terms, to lose control
See how a man becomes a soul
If thinking is wider than the sea
Arise from the dream within a dream

It's strange how life's illusions turn
They look so different around the corners
I wasn't prepared for such a journey
And now there ain't no turning back

I'm just a minor giant bird
Sitting on someone's shoulder
And she might undertake this journey
While I keep getting older

She once was brighter that the sun
I may have been her soulmate
She couldn't speak while she was dumb
But I couldn't figure out

It's strange how life's illusions turn
They look so different around the corners
I wasn't prepared for such a journey
And now there ain't no turning back

It's strange how words can start a war
They call it the domino syndrome
A new world is hiding behind the door
A world that's always been there

12. Touch My Heaven

Should I stay here on the floor?
I can't get up... and you no more!
Someone's talking in my head
The sunshine!
Laugh away my only thread
The white line
Touch my heaven

My mind is climbing on the wall
It's getting high by setting small
Someone's crying in my ear
The sunshine!
Make my way look so clear
The white line
Touch my heaven!

14. Man Of The World

Trainride, dreaming the day away
Slowride, (go) passing the gardens
Travel, room for my mind to play
Mindgames, ('bout) life of the others

Now get movin', pack your suits and ties
One more airport, feel the rush of life
Speed forever, waiting in the queue
All I wanna do is be with you

Send me over the ocean
I am lonely
A man of the world and emotions
Sleepless under the moonlight
I get homesick
I traded the world for the blue skies

Ghostflight, losing the hours
First glass, lonesome and tired
Day or night, it all looks the same to me
Cab ride, pick up some flowers

Time to move on, pack your suits and ties
One more airport, feel the rush of life
Speed forever, waiting in the queue
All I wanna wait, is wait for you

Send me over the ocean
I am lonely
A man of the world and emotions
Sleepless under the moonlight
I get homesick
I traded the world for the blue skies

Daydream, life on the seaside
Angel, give me the big smile
Frame by frame, life in slow motion
Sunkissed, down to the ocean
Lose it, letting the pressure go
Sinking into the blue...

Send me over the ocean
I am lonely
A man of the world and emotions
Sleepless under the moonlight
I get homesick
I traded the world for the blue skies

15. Life Will Kill You

Winter, no leaves on the trees
Sky is turning red
Silence, I don't know how it feels
Deep inside my head
So scared to walk that moonlit mile
I can't stand to lose my face
So tired, I have to rest for a while
And get out of these wicked ways

Life will kill you!
Life will kill you!

One step, I'm close to the edge
I can't move no more
In my life, there's a lot of things I regret
That I can't take back for sure
My confidence is leaving me
The evidence is clear to see
It's nobody fault but mine
Life will kill you, anytime
Life will kill you, any minute

Winter, no leaves on the trees
I can't move no more

Life will kill you, anytime
Life will kill you, any minute

16. The Way The Waters Are Moving

Summer is gone, memories long
We're afraid and hold on desperately
To the last of hopes and memories
Time moves on, how I wonder
Even perfect moments slip away
And may leave us empty and afraid

Now
I can sense there's something wrong
The way the waters are moving
Struck by the impact we all change
Forever
You are all gone
And I'm left here slowly dying
Now this ain't right, I curse and cry
I've asked myself a million times
Why some just have to lose and suffer

Summer is gone, it all went wrong
So we bury all the pain inside
And once more put on a friendly smile
Life moves on, but no more bonds
We're afraid to love and lose once more
So we turn lights low and lock the door

Now
I can sense there's something wrong
The way the waters are moving
Struck by the impact we all change
Forever
You are all gone
And I'm left here slowly dying
This ain;t right
Here's one more sleepless night
I'm growing older
There's no way I escape your cries
I've asked myself a million times
Why I have to lose and suffer

17. What If God Is Alone

What if god is alone
And really needs someone to talk to?
What if I'm feeling small?
I need someone to look up to
In this day and this age
There is too much information
And the loudness of man
Seems so cloud the revelations

Letter from across the sea
Secrets written signed and sealed
My hands, shaking life a leaf
My soul scars just getting healed
Every time I try to get it right
In the dark there is no light
I wait and I wonder why
God is on his own?

What is god is at your door
But you leave him standing in the cold
If there's angels onboard
You can hear their voices thru the walls
There's a heaven obscured
By greed and hate and pettiness
You know love can turn cold

Letter from across the sea
Secrets written signed and sealed
My hands, shaking life a leaf
My soul scars just getting healed
Every time I try to get it right
In the dark there is no light
I wait and I wonder why
God is always on his own?

What if silence will fall
And finally I'll hear myself
What if god hear my call
All my wearyness be put to rest

I can see beyond time
I can love beyond words
I can shine beyond suns
I can dream beyond worlds
I can live, I can die
But it all means the same
I'm the spark in the eye
I'm the bright inner flame
I am one of the earth
I am one of the skies
I am blood, I am war
I'm a sweet lullaby

I'm not good I'm not bad
I'm just born in your head
When you want me to be
Where you want me to be
I'm am nothing you'll see
If you see me you'll die
We both die, don't you know
So don't you try

18. Paradox Hotel

We've got guests, plenty, they come and they go
I'm the friendly smile but nobody knows me
One checkin' in, the order checkin' out
This house is nothing but a roundabout
We carry your bags and we clean your room
We polish the glasses, the forks and the spoons
We've got staff standing by
With people ready to die for you

Communication systems are state of the art
Educational prospects of getting smarter
First class service will cost you some more
We've got sexy livestock back in store
Just give us a call and we'll send them up
We've got satisfied guests all the way to the top
Bankers, lawyers and politicians
The guest is king, now that is our mission!!

It's a living hell at Paradox hotel
Come live in hell at Paradox hotel

Now if you're hung up on celebrities
We've had them all, on that you can trust me
We know their little secrets and dirty lies
Their little filthy habits – this job is priceless!!!

The clock is tickin', day in day out
Life in the fast lane this ol' roundabout
Some people are good, some people are bad
But we seem to remember all the fun we've had
We've had Picasso and Einstein too
Howard Hughes fell out of the blue
Hookers, liars and fancy folks
The wall street gamblers and their money talk

It's a living hell at Paradox hotel
Come live in hell at Paradox hotel

19. Blue Planet

Got a perfect view
From here in the voyage window room
Blue planet, sleeping beauty
The place that we call home
From here you can detect no borders
To me it looks the same
One world, one until under the sun

Let's leave it, don't get closer
I fear what we might find
Up from here it looks so peaceful
From the innocent blue sky

There's a view of constant beauty
That time and man can't change
Just mind to keep the distance now
And your impressions will remain
You want to keep the dream forever
You never wanna leave
I wish that everyone could see
And feel the way I feel

The more you look, the more you try
The more you free the inner eye
There's a mountain we could climb

Got a perfect view from here
From a window in the sky
You ain't going nowhere now
You want but cannot fly
Sometimes it feels like god has left us
But you never can be sure
You're stuck with us and your dreams
Inside revolving (hotel) doors
