I don't want to go home
I'm feeling like a ghost I'm falling all apart Could you please fix my heart? Why don't we leave this old town? A new world waits to be seen Give me a reason to stay I'm not afraid to live Tell me now... What do you read in my hand? Please don't spell me wrong What is going on? Tell me now... What is seen from my hand? I know what is true Nothing's really new Why don't we leave this old town? A new world waits to be seen Give me a reason to stay I'm not afraid to live... Tell me now... All my will and destiny Won't erase my hand It won't change my plans Tell me now... What could be the best for me? It's always been the same I'm running like a train I don't want to go home I'm feeling like a ghost I'm falling all apart Could you please fix my heart? Why don't we leave this old town? A new world waits to be seen Give me a reason to stay I'm not afraid to live Here we go... No one said it was easy I'm on my feet again A ticket in my hand Here we go... 02. Moonbeam Rider
Ride
Ride on Ride the sunrise To higher ground Ride Ride on Ride the hog high You're glory bound Ride Ride on There is no time You're moving on Ride Ride on There is a sign Another town Bad muckin' luck and misery All is forgotten memories Trouble and time left way behind Trouble and time, a thousand crimes And all the things you will regret And all the things you can't forget There's no reason to be ashamed For your many ill-gotten gains And the Moonbeam shines on the Chrome Ride Ride on Don't you realize What's going on Ride Ride on The road to the stars You're riding on Did you ever live in this world? Were you ever within your world? Ride on and on until you're gone Do you believe you now are free? Do you believe you're born to be The Moonbeam Rider in the sky The Moonbeam Rider in the sky 03. Le Pont Noir
I'm going to the bridge tonight
Venus shines so ever bright Deep in the woods under the stars How did I come to get this far? Have this feeling...what will I find Around the corner of my mind? A thousand trees of creeping sin Dead leaves blowing in the wind I'm whistling an old melody To keep the beast away from me I hear the call of croaking frogs Answering me lost in the fog I tell myself, everything's fine Here in these woods, for the first time Uh, ohh! Out in the dark, a shadow sound Fear to look, but turn around I realize I'm face to face Two yellow eyes, an evil gaze Ugly blood hound, no wagging tail How long has he been on my trail? Down to the bridge, he's leading me What is it he wants me to see? Uh, ohh! Already we've arrived, Here I am There's the bridge, Where's the man, What a scam! That story 'bout the bridge isn't true I'm enjoying myself, what a view! They say the bridge is not what it is No one ever comes back...so they say What could happen to me, anyway? From away, a tall man comes to me... Has he been here waiting...just for me? He says there's no more fishing in the lake But one thing for sure...I'm the catch of the day! This is what happens When one looks for gold Turn'd into gray stone And down deep you are thrown!! All this is over 04. The Nile Song
I was standing by the Nile
When I saw the lady smile I would take her for a while for a while Light tears wept like a child How her golden hair was blowing wild Then she spread her wings to fly...for to fly Soaring high above the breezes Going always where she pleases She will make it to the island...in the sun I will follow in her shadow As I watch her from my window One day I will catch her eye She is calling from the deep Summoning my soul to endless sleep She is bound to drag me down, drag me down 05. The Lost Machine
Lost machine, giant maze
Big engine, cruising space Ozone years, controlled daze... keeps the engine running Silver beams, analyze Robot teams, supervise That was then, this is now... it must run anyhow Don't you try, to know why We can't talk, close that door My father, remembers Grand-father, remembers Patching holes, in the sky... it's running all of the time I can tell, this is hell No one talks, no one talks One day will we understand How much the future is here right now? One day will they understand... How true... the future is here, and how! Remain silent Lost machine, never fails 3-D screen, one message Keep working, generate... it's the same everyday Don't you try, to know why I can't talk, close that door My father gave me a small stone that he received from his father. This stone was brought from earth by our early ancestors over 3OO years ago, since the machine started working. Our mission... my mission, to reach central control and throw it into some vital part of the main engine... and blow the precious generator... I do not want to have to pass this down to my own son... 06. Time Warp
What will happen if I can't come back?
What if I should fall between the cracks? Will I go back and forth down on-line? Wherever! It's a question of time Watching my sand glass I count to a thousand I flip it over A lifetime in my hand I set the counter And switch on the power Transform my matter Am I gone forever? Am I tomorrow or yesterday? Another second's just passed away Upcoming present and future past Am I the first? Could be the last Over and under I spiral down the line I'm getting closer I must be right on time Closer, closer 07. Jack Luminous

I am here to warn you... President X-D will be on your TV Electron waves, a pixel face Listen now! Please! Don't you believe/whatever he says... whatever he says...

Diadem, Bellatrix, Mirach, Izar... Lies are what we once knew, time to live something new, hey hey We can no longer take things for granted We can no remember what we wanted, hey hey We're not slaves anymore, now we know what life is for We don't fight anymore, he is what we're living for We're not slaves anymore, now we know what life is for We don't fight anymore... not anymore... More than tears fill my eyes, as bright ships dot the sky More than fear is in sight, as moon and sun stand by... and cry So? This is the end, I'm leaving now, farewell my friends X-D is now in control, making plans for His new home Fate lights me from within, to the stars I'm fleeing Earth heeds not my warning, forever sleepwalking... dreaming So? This is the end, I'm leaving now, farewell my friends Maybe one day, time will tell, I'll be back and break the spell... I'll break the spell... break the spell... 08. Wrong-Way Street
I lost my key...Where is the door?
Am I living here anymore? My souvenirs thrown on the floor It's never been this bad before I went outside to get a life But everything was closed up tight Why should I care? Why should I run? Now that I'm home...my guitar's gone! I'm taking it day by day Life goes on...oh, yeah, life goes on... Awake at night I look outside A burning car in the dawning light A sorry sight...another fight A scenery in black and white What can I do? What can I say? It's a hard time in a hard place I'm taking it day by day Life goes on...oh, yeah, life goes on... Don't ask me if I feel alright I'm glad that I am here tonight Don't ask me if it's wrong or right Remember everything is fine Remember...Forever It's getting worse, most everyday But has it always been this way? This price I have to pay today My goddamn house is in flames A traffic jam...commercial breaks And politicians' big disgrace This planet earth...it's where I live It's where I'll die, I do believe I'm taking it day by day Life goes on...oh, yeah, life goes on... 09. We Are Not Alone
We were lost in the valley
Midway between night and day Which way's the goddamn highway?? "The car breaks down" So, we walk ten million miles All across some countryside Until lightning struck the sky "The rain came down" Hey! This house looks so creepy Anybody home? Look out! There's somebody! We're not alone Up three creaking wooden stairs An old man with no hair...stares! Sitting in a rocking chair "Please be my guest" He says I'm glad you are here I have been waiting for years You see, they land in my field "Tonight's the night" Hey! You'll see...Don't you worry Make youself at home Maybe they'll be friendly Or maybe not, but Hey! What if we're all crazy? What if we're alone? Then the sky is empty And we're alone We are alone We're not alone Are we alone?...alone... Looking deep into the night We'll see if the old man's right So far...there's nothing in sight "Except frostbite" Flying low without a sound Look out! They are all around Spinning down, touching the ground "Damn he was right!" Hey! We see! We're not worried! We're not going home They are green and ugly Or maybe not...but, Hey! They are green and ugly Who wants to go home? God! We are so lucky! We're not alone We're not alone We're not alone (Welcome aboard) |
