01. Overture

Instrumental

02. From The Cradle To The Grave

There is a window out of pain
but the grief will come again
swallow all the light and steal the sleep
tonight
I'll never see the day to take it all away

There was a time to play my cards
drown my anchor in the hearts
find the tracks to love and get the tricks to shove
I never found a way to make it here to stay

My world is a dark and out of touch
I'm left alone a bit too much
What you see is what you get
but when you can't there's nothing left
I'll miss it from the cradle to the grave

My world is full of mortal scenes
that blind my eyes and steal my dreams
What you see is what you get
but when you can't there's nothing left
I'll miss it from the cradle to the grave

My world is a dark and out of touch
I'm left alone a bit too much
What You see is what you get
but when you can't there's nothing left
My world is full of mortal scenes
that blind my eyes and steal my dreams
I can't see or feel it yet
and as I can't there's nothing left
I'll miss it from the cradle to the grave
I'll miss it from the cradle to the grave
I'll miss you from the cradle to the grave....

03. Days Of December

The clouds have prepared for rain and storm
The chill of the wind has frozen all the pain
I know in my room it's dry and warm
but i cann't stand to scan the walls in vain
White and Wonderful the show covers my hair
I reached out but you're not there

In the days of December
I'm lonly ever since you're gone
In the night I remember
Your frozen hands that kept me warm
In the days of December

I've never seen sense in future plans
I know that the time will make it up somehow
But god how i miss you, there's no words
to tell you how it looks inside myself now

Cold and Beautiful
your vision in the ice
I reache out but you're not there

In the days of December
I'm lonly ever since you're gone
In the night I remember
Your frozen hands that kept me warm
In the days of December

04. Sign Of Heaven

I've been waiting for an invitation
couldn't leave my selfmade reservation
I had locked the doors and threw the key away

There was nothing but my own reflection
and the phone was silent, no connection
I was turning just in circles with no end

All that I had, it was gone, it was dead
But now my night is surrounded by light
This nust be a sign of heaven, a sign of heaven
the nightmare's over

As the winter left the frozen places
and the mirror smiled at lonely face
The my leaves they started slowly reached out

Now your laughter echoes in the silence
and your waters wash the dirt from my hands
as we harvest all the fruits that come our way

All that I had, it was gone, it was dead
But now my night is surrounded by light
This nust be a sign of heaven, a sign of heaven
the nightmare's over

There was nothing but my own reflection
I was turning just in circles with no end...

05. Incomplete

Here I am still I try to find out where I'm really now
What has been I have laid it down forgotten on a shelf
An old pair of shoes I've grown out

There's never enough to take when you're
running away from emptiness

My days seem like wasted. I'm incomplete
I'm grieving, believe in the change in me
I'm lost alone and incomplete

Now You're gone, I send my spirit out to
wander all the time
And my flesh, it is waiting for a time to be realised
All in one's hand , a touch at least

Confusion, nothing real
I'm lost without, I feel I'm almost gone

My days seem like wasted. I'm incomplete
I'm grieving, believe in the change in me
I'm lost alone and incomplete

06. Turn The Page

Time will come when you fell down
Everything you had is gone
and whatever you had thought you'd really need
is meaningless, you turn around
caught by light a distant sound
like a creature that is drawn into the flame

Turn the page and face another day
on that stage that you're supposed to stay
Turn tha page and fill it up with life
I won't sigh when time will turn the page

You're alone during the stay
Company can share your way
but they'll never ever make it really close
to the core, to the beyond
What's in store on from this point
will surprisingly be scaring joyful pain

Turn the page and face another day
Take your time cause something's on the way
Turn the page and fill it up with life
And don't sigh when time will turn the page

On these tracks we walk, we've got a choice
Be aware. I'll be your voice...

Time will come you're down
everything you had is gone
And whatever you had thought you'd really need
is meaningless, you turn around
caught by light a distant sound
like a creature that is drawn into the flame

Turn the page and face another day
on that stage that you're supposed to stay
Turn tha page and fill it up with life
I won't sigh when time will turn the page

07. Heartblood

On a dusty windinf roadm luck is not for free
If you did like you were told, you will never see

Just give me your heartblood...

Can it be a sin to speak in the tonque of freedom?
You will only win if you try the best to be you

Just give me your heartblood...

Warfare in a sick society
Out there dive it all or leave it be
No fear! What do you mean - security?
Who cares about you? You'll only hear

Give me your heartblood...

08. Over And Over

Once our eyes stare hollow in to nothing
our fingers clutching helpless in the void
Then our skulls won't tell about our past lifes
rich or poor, we're gonna be destroyed

Nothing gonna save us from death, leave it all behind
and our gathering, it was all invain

Over and over again
building up castles of sand
Over and over again
all for a kingdom of sand in your hands

Bankers, beggans, soldiers, priests and sinners
leadres, losers, all will be the same
if you keep your millions on accountings
nothinf you will take out from this game

And in your last hideway that's kept far underground
you'll share your remains gust with the worms

Over and over again
building up castles of sand
Over and over again
all for a kingdom of sand in your hands

09. In Vain (I Won't Go Down)

This is my life and I won't compromise or waste my time
All I have done I did on purpose 'cause I want it to do
if I was wrong I'm very sorry but this happens when you try
sometimes you cann't forsee how things are working out
and what it's about...

if it all was in vain I won't sigh for a single day
I'll do it again and again
If it was in vain I will wait for another time
I swear. I won't go down again

And if I doubt I might have failed even before the day is done
how can I know if I don't dare?
Am I allowed do it twice if I don't make it at first time?
Then I will learn from my mistakes and I'll do right
haven't I try...?

if it all was in vain I won't sigh for a single day
I'll do it again and again
If it was in vain I will wait for another time
I swear. I won't go down again

I know you know that we can
We hold the key in our hands
to make it better, then it wasn't all in vain.

10. Immortal Sin

So sweet and defenceless
offeres all to my dependence
Just relax your spirit
we're all alone

Tied up in the darkness
you've forgotten you existance
waiting for the fire
and what's to come

Lost imaginations
coming back to scare the body
GOing down in fever
drawn to the flame

A sweet pain to cut the indifference
a forbidden love to come

You're immortal, you're immortal sin

Coming from behind you
feel the fingers reaching higher
Crawling on the floor
you won't get away

So sweet and dependet
I will offer my demands
So just relax your spirit
we're all alone

And you know you shouldn't walk this way
but you never want to hear

You're immortal, you're immortal sin

Now you're gone too far...

11. Paint It Black

Instrumental

12. Just Alone

They lowered my body in a dark hole
the dry ground now covers my remains
I stood at their side and watched them crying
They can't know their tears they are in vain

All four winds together driving me forever
I'm not lost, I'm just alone

I can see, I can hear, I can be, be forevermore...

All four winds together driving me forever
I'm not lost, I'm just alone

Where shall I be in this demension?
Where are the others I await?
is this existence mean forever?
is there a door that leds away?

All four winds together driving me forever
I'm not lost, I'm just alone

Nailed to a cross of isolation
My punishment is I'm all alone
Just alone, alone...

13. Another Wasted Day

See these people like me, living in this dirty place
Feel this depression in these streets that lame the brain

It kills the will that drives me on
'Cause where'a no hope all power's gone
Why Am I here? A senseless birth
I'm not afraid to leave this earth

Heal these hollow eyes that keep on starting at these walls
Fill the empty space that's in these heads where chaos crawls

'Cause from the mud there comes disease
A new born hate disturbs the peace
A fatal end to all my grief
I've lost my pride, my self belief

I get my food from an unknown hand
I did nothing for it, understand

Still I'm waiting for a reason that could make a difference
But this is just another wasted day
Give me something to rely on, I don't know where I'am going
This is just another wasted day

Hear the voiceless calling in a world of noisy gear
Find the answer for a human child why it is here

'Cause from the mud there comes disease
A new born hate disturbs the peace
A fatal end to all my grief
I've lost my pride, my self belief

Not only out of work, we're out of all
it seems this world's for all of us too small

14. Tom Sawyer

A modern-day warrior
Mean mean stride,
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean mean pride.

Though his mind is not for rent,
Don't put him down as arrogant.
His reserve, a quiet defense,
Riding out the day's events.
The river

And what you say about his company
Is what you say about society.
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the drift.

The world is, the world is,
Love and life are deep,
Maybe as his eyes are wide.

Today's Tom Sawyer,
He gets high on you,
And the space he invades
He gets by on you.

No, his mind is not for rent
To any god or government.
Always hopeful, yet discontent,
He knows changes aren't permanent,
But change is.

And what you say about his company
Is what you say about society.
Catch the witness, catch the wit,
Catch the spirit, catch the spit.

The world is, the world is,
Love and life are deep,
Maybe as his skies are wide.

Exit the warrior,
Today's Tom Sawyer,
He gets high on you,
And the energy you trade,
He gets right on to the friction of the day.
