01. The Edge Of Darkness

Music by Victor Smolski
Lyrics by Peavy Wagner
Tell the world we'll lose our future any time
This will be a rude awakening if we don't stop now

Everywhere we see the atomic threat will be
Handled by the bad, the deceivers that gone mad
Lead us into death

To hell and back, we're
On the edge of darkness
Never return
On the edge of darkness

When the nuclear dictators ride the bomb
Hell is here to stay forever, do you want it so

Instability killing the economy
Continents in war throwing horror on the poor
Mother nature dies

To hell and back, we're
On the edge of darkness
Never return
On the edge of darkness
When will we learn

Pull your head out of the sand, you need to know
Your ass, it will burn red hot, right when it all explodes

Everywhere it seems all those people lost their dreams
Everyone's insane, all the warning was in vain
Blinded 'till we're dead

To hell and back, we're
When will we learn, will we ever learn

02. Hunter And Prey

Music by Victor Smolski
Lyrics by Peavy Wagner
Hunt you down

I am justified by higher laws
My society gives me right to force
If you put shame on the family
For the honour your blood sets me free, set me free
Try to hide, make my day
I'm the hunter and you are my prey
Time to die, kneel and pray
I'm the hunter and you'll die today

Since the stoneage we have lived this way
We ignore what you achieved today
These traditions we will never clear
Men can rule while women live in fear, live in fear

Try to hide, make my day
I'm the hunter and you are my prey
Man and wife for all your live
I'm the hunter and you are my prey
I'm the hunter and you are my prey

Noone else shall see your face now no more

Try to hide, make my day
I'm the hunter

03. Into The Light

Music by Peavy Wagner / Victor Smolski
Lyrics by Peavy Wagner
When my time to die has come I want no regrets
So I better use the days I have
Then I take a look around, there is so much pain
People run in circles and create their prison

Day will turn to night, the devil by your side
Steals the dreams away. Leave me be, cause

I step into the light
And forever it will be alright
I step into the light
Death and life are walking side by side

Everyone is overwhelmed by their fear for life
Stuck inside a rat race of desires
Looking for security that they´ll never find
The only certain thing in life is death, my dear

Day will turn to night, the devil by your side
Steals the dreams away. Leave me be, cause

I step into the light
And forever it will be alright
I step into the light
Death and life are walking side by side

04. The Beggar's Last Dime

Music by Victor Smolski
Lyrics by Peavy Wagner
We all live with that cliché: the underdog, the poor
From the void makes it big time, a miracle in store
The working class, true believers of this fairytale
Suffering hard every day to buy their stocks 'n' rates

Follow them, you fools, while they're f...ing in their pools
Weep and eat their lies
Follow them, you fools, while they're making all your rules
Let them steal your dimes

Forever and ever the rich is getting fat
By stealing the beggar's last dime
Whatever, no matter, this greed ain't getting better
Stealing the beggar's last dime

The upper class with their millions, keeping all doors locked
And you're not, not invited when they live on top
In this game it's decided who will win or lose
When the rich cashes in the poor man sells his shoes

In the yellow press, where you follow their excess
Wish to be like them
While you dream you've won they are playing with your doe
Oops - and now it´s gone

Forever and ever the rich is getting fat
By stealing the beggar's last dime
Whatever, no matter, this greed ain't getting better
Stealing the beggar's last dime
Stealing the beggar's last dime

Forever and ever the rich is getting fat
Whatever, no matter,the poor is getting mad

05. Empty Hollow

Music by Victor Smolski
Lyrics by Peavy Wagner
No more tears, I cannot cry no more
No fears, I just don't care for this life
Dark and grey, that's how it seems to me
And more - what can it mean to me

Oh why, tell me why
I'm passing by
And my life, yeah, my life goes on, goes on without, without you and me

I don't live here
I'm just like a stranger
And my mind is
So full of hate and anger
I can tell you
My life is just an empty hollow

I can't stay here
I am slowly dying
And found nothing
That makes sense to try it
I can tell you
My life is just an empty hollow
(2: an empty hollow)

Time to go, there's nothing holding me
I know that all what is can't go
Away from here, it's just a constant flow
It's change, so I can find my peace of

Mind, it's alright
And all this time
I've been starving, starving to be all so free inside, for you and me

06. Strings To A Web

Music by Victor Smolski
(instrumental)

07. Fatal Grace

Music by Victor Smolski
(instrumental)

08. Connected

Music by Victor Smolski
Lyrics by Peavy Wagner
Open these soul cages, fill my blank pages

So Love becomes my saviour
It's creeping underneath my skin
Gets me connected

Like notes can turn to music
We spin a web that makes us more
More than we are
Just let it happen

I try to reach my hand out
And wonder what may come to me
I let it happen

Like raindrops in a river
We can be part of bigger things
And if we dare
We get connected

09. Empty Hollow (reprise)

Music by Victor Smolski
Lyrics by Peavy Wagner
Empty hollow now I live here
I'm no more a stranger
And my mind is
Free of hate and anger
I can tell you
My life was just an empty hollow

I can stay here
There is no more sighing
And I found out
What makes sense to try it
I can tell you
My life was just an empty hollow
An empty hollow

10. Saviour Of The Dead

Music by Victor Smolski
Lyrics by Peavy Wagner
Demons gather in my head
Take me away, lead me astray
Make me suffer in my bed
Leave me no choice, infernal voice

Drag me into black
Tell me god is dead

Take me away to the end of my life
Saviour of the dead
Take me away, I am starving for light
Saviour of the dead
Now release me into death
Saviour of the dead

I have always praised my god
Followed the priest, prayed for release
Now they cannot save my soul
I am to blame, eternal shame

I am spitting blood
Lay my curse on god
Wasted 'till I'm mad
Driven into death

Take me away to the end of my life
Saviour of the dead
Take me away, I am starving for light
Saviour of the dead
Now release me into death
Saviour of the dead

11. Hellgirl

Music by Peavy Wagner / Victor Smolski
Lyrics by Peavy Wagner
All that overwhelming beauty
Knocks me out and takes my breath
In her eyes reflects the new day
Breaks my walls of bitterness

When I'm near I fear no evil tearing me apart
She's eternal indestructible pounding in my heart

Hellgirl

In the lakes of her blue eyes
She's bearing secrets from the night
Like an angel born from darkness
She turns everything to light

Finally she found her way, a new life to begin
Never guilty, not to blame, she's rising out of sin

Hellgirl's exploding in my life, a superheroine overnight
She's all for me, so be my girl forever
Hellgirl is coming down from space to fill my empty life with grace
She's all of me, that hellgirl is forever

Like a star she lights my skies
And I will care forevermore
As my fear for her won't die
I hope she stays fine in her core

Through her eyes I find perception and I understand
I am blessed, she's no deception, never leave, my friend

Hellgirl's exploding in my life

12. Purified

Music & lyrics by Peavy Wagner
You are rotten to the core
You're an addict, that's for sure
All the time there is a choice
But you ignore the inner voice
Fight your baser instincts now
You should fall on your knees and pray
That there's a second chance

Jump (jump), jump in the fire
Burn 'till you're purified
Down (down), down to the wires
Burn my friend, burn my friend
You are such an ignorant
Self complacent permanent
You will waste all that you had
It seems you spoil all that you get
Try to find a hold in life
You should fall on your knees and pray
That you can turn around

Jump (jump), jump in the fire
Burn 'till you're purified
Burn (burn) down to the wires
Burn my friend, 'till you're purified
You are rotten to the core
You're an addict, that's for sure
You will waste all that you had
It seems you'll spoil all that you get
Try to find a hold in life
You should fall on your knees and pray
That you can turn around

Jump (jump), jump in the fire

13. Through Ages

Music by Peavy Wagner / Victor Smolski
Lyrics by Peavy Wagner
So you think this was all for you
Disconnected you feel lonely and blue
You try to find the pieces of your heart
Turn around and look twice, my friend
Something's trying to find a hold again
It seems that it was lost so long ago

It travels in your mind
Through ages you'll find
Your dark past is alive
Through ages you'll find your love

You have it in your memories and it's all within your mind
Through ages you'll find your love

14. Tomorrow Never Comes

Music by Peavy Wagner / Victor Smolski
Lyrics by Peavy Wagner
No doubt in mind, I'm running wild
I see the angels fly

All ups and downs, let's drink out every cup
Swallow it all, I hate the consequences
And I never want to see

Believe it, tomorrow never comes
It's easy when tomorrow never comes
It's only an illusion but it seems to be ok
The hardest part is waking up one day

All drowns in pain, everything hurts
I've seen my anger die

What used to be is just a memory
Reality has brought me to my knees
And now decay is here to stay

Believe it, tomorrow never comes
It's easy when tomorrow never comes
It's only an illusion but it seems to be ok
The hardest part is waking up one day
