Tracks



01. Sail Around The World

Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning
Sometimes I'm trapped in a hole
I know I need... need Your protection
I wish You could take me back home

Sail around the world
Sailing ships of hope
Storm is coming
I cling to my rope
I'm forgiven
My captain set me free
On the ocean
Shelter me

Sometimes I search for an answer
Inside of my head can find
Nothing that really, really relieves me
From pressure, from guilt and from sin

Sail around the world
Sailing ships of hope
Storm is coming
I cling to my rope
I'm forgiven
My captain set me free
On the ocean
Shelter me

Sail around the world
Sailing ships of hope
Storm is coming
I cling to my rope
I'm forgiven
My captain set me free
On the ocean
Shelter me

02. When The Stars Are Falling

Face to face with the liar
Once again he plays his role
Tempting me, dark desire
Sense the evil of his soul

Lift me up and lead me on
In my weakness You are strong
You are with me when the night is falling
When the world is upside down
When the king has lost his crown
You are with me when the stars are falling

Yeaaah...

Turning the page to another day, another day of grace
Father forgive me for the things that I've done
Walk right beside me, I know that You will

Lift me up and lead me on
In my weakness You are strong
You are with me when the night is falling
When the world is upside down
When the king has lost his crown
You are with me when the stars are falling

I will cry no more
I seek forgiveness and I will be free

Lift me up and lead me on
In my weakness You are strong
You are with me when the night is falling
When the world is upside down
When the king has lost his crown
You are with me when the stars are falling

Lift me up and lead me on
In my weakness You are strong
You are with me when the night is falling
When the world is upside down
When the king has lost his crown
You are with me when the stars are falling

03. Course Of A Generation

Lock myself up in a cage, my digital domain
Never let me out unless I scream
Nobody wants to listen
In the real world
I'm perfectly happy when I'm...

Climbing higher, higher and higher
Never ever hiding from a storm
Walking through fire
Flying higher, riding higher
Falling deeper than ever before
The curse of a generation

Programming my social skills to suit the latest code
Connected to the network as I go
I don't believe in anything but virtual existence
Never let me out of here, I plead
Nobody wants to listen
In the real world
I'm perfectly happy when I'm...

Climbing higher, higher and higher
Never ever hiding from a storm
Walking through fire
Flying higher, riding higher
Falling deeper than ever before
The curse of a generation

When did we stop talking?
Who have you become?
Is all that we learned for ages to be buried in the sand?

Climbing higher, higher and higher
Never ever hiding from a storm
Walking through fire
Flying higher, riding higher
Falling deeper than ever before
The curse of a generation

Climbing higher, higher and higher
Never ever hiding from a storm
Walking through fire
Flying higher, riding higher
Falling deeper than ever before
The curse of a generation

04. Scared

Can't sleep at night
All I hear is an endless fight
A woman's cry, all is destroyed
Can't sleep at night
All I hear is an endless fight
Call the police to make it calm

The sound fades away
But still it's there
In our memories
Life isn't fair

What can I do
Want to be more like You
I want to be brave
But I'm scared and broken too

Still my heart is trying, trying to survive
I know the colors, I am not blind
But now Your hands are reaching, reaching out to save me
Come my child, you shall be free

The sound fades away
But still it's there
In our memories
Life isn't fair
The sound fades away
And we close our eyes
Pretend it wasn't there
It's easier this way

What can I do
Want to be more like You
I want to be brave
But I'm scared and broken too

What can I do
Want to be more like You
I want to be brave
But I'm scared and broken too

Oh... What can I do
Want to be more like You
I want to be brave
But I'm scared and broken too

05. Kings Will Come

What's the meaning of things, such diamonds and rings
When it all gets so predictable, do you wanna know?
What's the value of life when it's ended by a knife
When it's all so unpredictable, do we even know?

What makes the world go 'round?
What's in a lifetime?

Kings will come and kings will go
He will stay the same, stay the same
Nations rise and nations fall
He will stay the same, stay the same

What do I have to bring when I settle in my coffin
Is there anything I'll need, anything at all?
You have heard of a place where there will be no trace
of those valuable belongings, or did you even know?

What makes the world go 'round?
What's in a lifetime?

Kings will come and kings will go
He will stay the same, stay the same
Nations rise and nations fall
He will stay the same, stay the same

What makes the world go 'round?
What's in a lifetime?

Kings will come and kings will go
He will stay the same, stay the same
Nations rise and nations fall
He will stay the same, stay the same

06. Rain

There was a time, there was a place
We had all that we needed
We gave it all away and got nothing in return but
greed and hollow minds, flat screens and beauty magazines
Come, I will show you who you want to be

Time for reflection
What have I become?
Time for rejection
Enough is enough

When the rain is falling down
When the angels come to free this town
When the rain is falling down
Washing all the dust away

Out on the streets it is cold and I feel so alone
Please let me in, in a second I'll be fine
I want to see, I want to taste, I want to to fill the void
Where am I going to find peace of mind?

Time for reflection
What have I become?
Time for rejection
Enough is enough

When the rain is falling down
When the angels come to free this town
When the rain is falling down
Washing all the dust away

When the rain is falling down
When the angels come to free this town
When the rain is falling down
Washing all the dust away

When the rain is falling down
When the angels come to free this town
When the rain is falling down

07. Armaggedon

The day has come, they gather here
The fallen angel and his army comes marching out of the deepest pits of hell
They're crossing the rivers, the mountains and sand
Forcing the gates of the holy land

Run away, hide way. The sky is burning
Run away, hide away. Faces turning

Fields of pain, tears of blood
The sword of Christ among the evil legions of the underworld
As they're cast into the lake of fire

Run away, hide way. The sky is burning
Run away, hide away. Faces turning

Run away, hide way. The sky is burning
Run away, hide away. Faces turning

They're crossing the rivers, the mountains and sand
Forcing the gates of the holy land

Run away, hide way. The sky is burning
Run away, hide away. Faces turning

Run away, hide way. The sky is burning
Run away, hide away. Faces turning

08. One Way To Freedom

How long will we carry on
To destroy what God has given us
Look at yourself, look at the world
All is falling apart
It's time for a change

Unholy rites rule
We play the game and we lose
Evil in fashion, it's time for reaction
We are drifting away from the truth
We're fading away

Pray for protection
Time for reaction

We're burning our bridges
Then wade across the blood-filled rivers
The silence around us, the darkness beneath us
And a thousand miles between us
We're fading away

Pray for protection
Time for reaction

It's time for a change

Pray for protection
Time for reaction

Pray for protection
Time for reaction

09. Miles Away

Can you hear them calling?
Can you hear them crying out in hunger?
If I could be strong
Strong enough to face the lie within my life

I turn my head and run
Running for tomorrow
Can't face what I've done

Can you hear me?
Please forgive me!
I cry

Miles away
A million tears away

Look them in their eyes
Tell me can you see the children suffering
And now our world is falling, falling apart
Did we really take our chances?

I turn my head and run
Running for tomorrow
Can't face what I've done

Can you hear me?
Please forgive me!
I cry

Miles away
A million tears away
Miles away
A million tears away

Follow the path
2000 years of wisdom
We're still building castles in the sand
Learn from the past
The time is getting short now
Oh Father, have mercy...on me

Can you hear me?
Please forgive me!
I cry

I turn my head and run
Running for tomorrow
Can't face what I've done

Can you hear me?
Please forgive me!
I cry

Miles away
A million tears away
Miles away
A million tears away

10. Behind The Curtain

In this land
Where nights are long and sun won't shine
It's getting cold
No one cares
No one listens to You anymore
So many hearts are closed

But in every corner lies
In shattered dreams and lies
A need to come back home

When I opened up my eyes
You made me realize
That life goes on behind the curtain
Life goes on

Through new eyes
I've seen so many different colors
Not everything is clear

But in every corner lies
In shattered dreams and lies
A need to come back home

When I opened up my eyes
You made me realize
That life goes on behind the curtain
Life goes on

Hear me, speak to me
Don't leave me here all alone
Face me, embrace me
I pray You'll be there when I fall... I fall...

When I opened up my eyes
You made me realize
That life goes on behind the curtain

Will I laugh or will I cry ?
Will I live or will I die ?
Will I face tomorrow without sorrow ?

When I opened up my eyes
You made me realize
That life goes on behind the curtain

Will I laugh or will I cry ?
Will I live or will I die ?
Will I face tomorrow without sorrow ?

Will I laugh or will I cry ?
Will I live or will I die ?
Will I face tomorrow without sorrow ?
