01. Clown In The Mirror

Music & lyrics by André Andersen
Our circus's closed and midnight ghost
Comin' out as lights go down
Old and tired clown, no one is around
Staring at the mirror - now listen

Oh, the show must go on
Lived in the crowd, but dyin' all alone

Clown in the mirror - glitter and scars
Here pleasure and pain look as one
Clown in the mirror toucin' the stars
Flyin' his dream to the sun

What a mask can say? Cry the night away!
Askin' mirror: "Tell me how long?"
Wrigglin' all those years, thorugh the laughter 'n' tears
Don't believe in hearts of stone

Oh, the show must go on
Lived in the crowd, but dyin' all alone

Clown in the mirror - glitter and scars
Here pleasure and pain look as one
Clown in the mirror touchin' the stars
Flyin' his dream to the sun

But the sun will rise, evil took the prize
Something will remind you
Sign of disgrace - this paint in your face.

02. Stranded

Music & lyrics by André Andersen
I see a face in the night, why do I feel I'm in danger?
Image of me get pushed to the side, just by the eyes stranger.

Anyway, all the faces I've seen,
Over and over again
Everytime, when the sun goes down,
Act the same - just the same
Stranded - so far away from home.
Stranded - I've made it happen all alone.
Stranded - so far away from home.
Stranded - in the eye of the storm.
(it's written all across the wall)

Open it up, turn it up - wild! Can you just give me a reason?
Livin' it up, give it up, wakin' up blind - leavin' yourself in a prison

Anyway, all the places I've been,
Over and over again,
Everytime, when the lights goin' down,
Looks the same - over and over again.
Keep your head above the ground - trouble wants you to drown.
Don't get pushed and kicked around - don't let them put you down.
Someone'd like to see you fall - tear the sucker down
Let the whole world crash and burn - keep your head above the ground.

03. Land Of Broken Hearts

Music & lyrics by André Andersen
See a thousand bodies crackin'n'fallin' back,
Rows of loaded weapons ready to attack.
Sharp pain screams like hell in a victim's eyes.
Wanna say to everyone - promises were lies?

And here we go again, back to back,
Round and round,
And here we go again, back to back,
One shot, buddy, and you're hitting the ground?

Land of broken hearts
One more shot and another friend's gone.
Land of broken hearts,
Pray to your god, cos' the killing's begun.

See a million faces - can you let it go?
Try to stop this bloody rain paintin' on the snow.
Blood, death - all around - livin' on the edge,
Look smashed flesh
And bones prayin' for revenge.

04. Age Gone Wild

Music & lyrics by André Andersen
All I need is to turn the page,
I can see a man - he's twice my age.
Proud face, a lot of scars,
I can see a shadow of the bars?

Hold on - can you feel the sorrow,
Hold on - he won't see tomorrow?

Yes, he was proud as hell to the end of the line,
So he's got a story to tell of the age gone wild?
The magic and the spell and eye for an eye
Now, he's got a story to tell of the age gone wild.

Just a kid but he was told,
He will be the one who rules the world.
Such a shame - with the speed of light,
He became a beggar over night.

05. Kingdom Dark

Music & lyrics by André Andersen
Run, you better run as far as you can,
Why - I'm gonna die and nobody cares.
Stop wastin' my time, I'm gonna fly high,
You'll find out, the way to survive -
Follow the light tonight!

Watch your steps, it's Kingdom Dark,
There is fear behind your back.
Help me out or let me in,
Watch me die for someone's sin.

Out, somebody shouts, but who - I can't see,
Age, blesses to the rage, callin' for me?

06. Bad Luck

Music & lyrics by André Andersen
Bad luck - over and over again
Bad luck
Bad luck - yeah

Working so hard - make me feel I've comitted a crime
I wanna make it so big - it's just a matter of time
Foolin' around, now my time is running out
I want my feel back on the ground

I'm down - and my chance so low
One for the money? two for a show
Why troubles-comin' to stay
Bad luck - bad luck all the way

I'm just gettin' so tired of fightin' the wall
Hey! Watchin' a big shot passing the ball
Nothing to loose, I'm in hell on pleasure cruise
Who gives a shit which way I choose-nobody moves!

I'm down - and my chance so low
One for the money? two for a show
Bad luck - such a heavy load
Ain't gonna miss it goin' down the road
Sky high - but it's never enough
Hey, little angel, kick that stuff
Why troubles-comin' to stay
Bad luck - bad luck all the way
