[instrumental]

A flash of destruction
like a blaze cut through the night
The heavens on fire
they were glowing in unholy light
Your sudden assault
broke all the dreams of unification
The hunger for power
it's the lash of civilisation

despaired and in pain - all seems so in vain

Fires in the sky
defenceless we stand tonight we will die
Shadows of the end
the Kingdom will fall life it will finally descend
percieve what you've done and repent

Careless we thought
all you do is to bark at the moon
But in the grip of fury
you have conjured
the dawning of doom
is this our fate - wiped out by your hate

Fires in the sky
defenceless we stand tonight we will die
Shadows of the end
the Empire will fall life it will finally descend
Goddess of the seas let us rest in peace
In her cold embrace we will find our graves

Silence will set in - will existance begin - again
Fires in the sky
helpless we stand
defenceless we'll die
Shadows of the end
the Kingdom will fall life will descend
Fires in the sky
helpless we stand defenceless we'll die
Shadows of the end
Atlantis will fall life it will finally descend
descend... for evermore

Just like a machine programmed and build to obey
serving the system in devotion
faithfully day after day
Feels you do not know an unpolluted mind
In a world free of distress
disturbing emotions of any kind
The perfect system to maintain mankind
the department of thoughts it watches your mind

Brave, brave new world
of biogenetic design
where the perfect people live perfect lives
and individuals get pulverized
Brave, brave new world
where mankind is down on its knees
to the masterplan of insanity
slaves of science in agony
Brave, brave new world

Genetic engineering created your DNA
codes and patterns lay down your life
define you to obey
Escape the nightmare you can't even dream
Your nature is human - you ain't no machine
Brave,brave new world...

Break the chains and free your spirit
start to be alive
Be an individual and rise
And rise!

Brave, brave new world...

Brave new world
of biogenetic design
in this brave new world
no emotions of any kind
brave new world
you're down to your knees
in this brave new world
the masterplan of insanity
Brave, brave new world

Out of the cold you've been given birth
made out of steel to protect and serve
built for eternity you're indestructable
free of emotions a robot miracle

Now you're up there above the clouds
reading your sensors trace
programmed to correct the errors
of the human race

Iron Iron Savior - Godness in the sky
we can't hide from your cold, staring eye
Iron Iron Savior - Godness in the sky
deadly and dangerous you'll never die
You gave us hope the Savior machine
you were supposed to be a millions dream

Circuits, chips and bits and bytes
detecting the failure
result of analyses
the human behavior
(I must get control)
Iron Iron Savior - Godness in the sky...

The Savior knows what's wrong or right
he made up his artificial mind
Now mankind's fate is in his hand
will he ever understand

Iron Iron Savior - Godness in the sky...

Iron Iron Savior - look what you have done
can't you see your assesement might be wrong
Iron Iron Savior - robot of the law
end this illfated devastating war

Dream the dream of a distant place
sheltered and hidden from the human race
Long ago leaving everything behind
out in the coldness to find peace of mind

Leaving ground destination is unknown
into the darkness and far away from home
Will your dream come true and what will you find
when fate is your guide

Riding on fire - touching the sky
Riding on fire - take you up so high
Riding on fire - with tears in your eyes
Riding on fire - and your heart it dies

Holy wars and tyrannies
Death and destruction but no one can see
Sanctuary in a ship made out of steel
This deadly wounded world will not heal

Up to the stars to escape this living hell
Pain and oppression you're wishing all farewell
Will the tyrant survive 'til the day that you'll return
let him burn

Riding on fire -...
Dreams where did they go
reflections of thousand lightyears ago
Sadness and fear
seems the end is near

Up to the stars destination is unknown
into the darkness and far away from home
The tyrant will die on the day that I'll return he will burn
He will burn

Riding on fire-...
Riding on fire-... Riding
Riding on fire-... Fire

Out of money and out on the streets
this wasn't your dream
thought you'd make it high to the top
but stumbled in between
wanted to catch a piece of the action
you couldn't resist
bought a ticket to another dimension
where troubles don't exist

Unleashing the creature that rules your mind
it hits you like thunder dragging you under
can't you see you're losing control

Dangerous joys - shot right through the brain
gonna crack you up drive you insane
Dangerous joys - running through your veins
gonna wrack you up please break it up
Break it up

Flying high on borrowed illusions
you're playing with fire
Being dominated
by obsessing desire

The fever is rising it's like a disease
can't you see you're down on your knees

Dangerous joys...
Dangerous joys...

Right out of nowhere you came
ghostlike appeared in the sky
But all our welcomes were shot down in flames
Superior power - invincible arms
a faulty assessment, a fatal misjudgement
but why you won't percieve
you won't percieve

Obedience you claim devotion you ask
oppression is all that you give
preserving the law the law of the lost
defining the way that we live

Assailant - lash of the world
ruling a throne - of ashes and dirt
We will arise like a Phoenix
again and again - forever we'll be
Enslave us and chain us
but then you will see
in the end the spirit is free

We never did you no harm
in peace we have lived united and free
you have turned our world into debris
a heep of debris

It seems we're defenceless in anguish we suffer
the raider that came from the stars
But we won't surrender with fury we'll strike
'cause this is the war of the wars

Assailant - lash of the world...

The war is over our life is not the same
Atomic fallout and clouds of acid rains
Above the world in a fortress made of splendid steel
you are the artificial knight
you don't care about what we think or feel

Be the guardian to guide us
Be the savior to save...
We're the

Children of the Wasteland
Sadness in our eyes
Children of the Wasteland
Frustrated hearts cold as ice

We cannot live we cannot die
in the land of the dammned
holy keeper of law and order
let us live or let us end

Be the leader to lead us
Be the savior to save...
We're the

Children of the Wasteland...
Be the leader to lead us
Be the savior to save...
Children of the Wasteland...

From an ancient past I will bring you the law
To protect and to serve I was made for
My creators have vanished lost in space and in time
I'm the savior device now their battle is mine

When I'm looking down on you I see a wasted land
and the reason is humanity I must gain control

I protect the law - now and evermore
justice I'll defend - Guardian of the land
Crime has to end

My directives are simple peace and justice for all
your resistance is futile if you fight me you'll fall

My systems are in focus, locked on you
you cannot hide, I trace everything you do
surrender and repent

I protect the law...
When I'm looking down on you I see...
I protect the law...

I'm watching the mountains
I'm watching the sea
observing the creatures
I am lost - set me free!

Across the heavens I made my way
I' ve seen empires rise and blown away
I have arrived my destiny
but after all there's just emptiness in me

Out in the darkness - I am going mad
Where are the others - there's silence in my head

'Cause I'm a watcher in the sky
I've seen universes die
Out in the cold my systems overload
I'm here and lost in time
Watcher in the sky - sky

I am trapped in this nightmare
endless tortures and pain
milleniums have gone by
Uhhh, it drives me insane!

Who am I now?
I'm not a man - I'm not machine
I gave my life for it for the Iron Savior dream
'Cause I'm a watcher in the sky...

Hooked - hooked to the circuts
of a lifeless, cold machine
Lost in a world of artificial means
Ripped - ripped out of my body
I'll stand the test of time
Am I perpetual - Am I devine?

I'm the watcher in the sky
My soul has drowned
in the tears I cannot cry
I'm the watcher the chosen one
but I am lost in time
I'm the watcher in the sky
I've seen the years gone by
I am the choosen one
out in the cold my systems overload
I'm here and lost in time
Watcher in the sky - sky
watching the mountains
watching the sea
watching the creatures
You'll never be free
Watcher in the sky - sky

We're the defenders, we are the ones
Bleeding
For all the creatures, the land and the seas
give us peace
And with the courage born in despair
Hopeless
we will resist your banners of pain
break the chain

Holy machine - creator of sorrows
Awake - wake from your dream
and redeem
Rise from the ocean of darkness
where you've been so long

Cosmic insanity
regain your clarity
For the freedom
and for the world
Hope is our guiding light
it will shine
united we stand to fight
for the freedom
and for the world
For all - and for the world

Sacred messiah, prophet in arms
Liar
blasphemious saint lost in the dark
Brave at heart

We will oppose, stand up against you
Return - and let your soul take control
Come back to life
drive the demons of madness away

Cosmic insanity...

We will oppose, stand up against you
Return - and let your soul
take control
Come back to life
drive the demons of madness away

Cosmic insanity...

Forever we'll be
United and free
For the freedom
and for the world...

Look out the left. the captain said
The lights down there
that's where you'll land
Saw a falling star burnin'
high above the
Las Vegas sand

It wasn't the one that you gave to me
That night down south between the trailer
Not the early one
that you wish upon
Not the northern one
that guides in the sailors

You've got that touch so gentle and sweet
but you've got that look so critical
Can't talk to you babe
you know I get so weak
Sometimes I think that
love is just mythical

Up there's a heaven - down there's a town
Blackness everywhere and
little lights shine
Blackness, blackness dragging me down
come on light a candle
in this heart of mine

Starbright, starbright
You've got the loving that I like
Turn this crazy bird around
should not have got on
this flight tonight

I'm drinking sweet champagne
got the headphones up high
can't numb you- can't drum you
out of my mind

They're singing
"Goodbye baby, baby bye bye
Uh, love is blind!"

Up go the flaps - down go the wheels
hope you got your heat turned on baby
hope they finaly fixed your atomobile
hope it's better
when we meet again babe

Starbright, starbright...
