02. Prelude Of Souls

Instrumental

03. Innocent

She woke up, all in sweat and screaming
She saw her fate when she was dreaming
Why? Such a young girl did no crime

And then his bony hand came reaching
"Young girl, I'll be your guide, we're leaving
Now, it's the end of all your time."

Save me! And in her dreams she had to face her very end
Save me! She saw the ashes of her life, so innocent

"You must let me go, please forsake me
Won't someone help me or just wake me
I don't deserve this early end."

"This life ain't fair, that's not the meaning
I'm only here to help, believe me
And I am mercy, heaven sent."

Save me! And in her dreams she had to face her very end
Save me! She saw the ashes of her life, so fragile
She saw the ashes of her life, so innocent

She started crying like a baby
Screamed for her mother, cursed the day of birth
But the reaper took her hand

Save me! And in her dreams she had to face her very end
Save me! She saw the ashes of her life, so fragile
She saw the ashes of her life, so innocent

04. Depression

Instrumental

05. No Regrets

"Feel no regrets, 'cause I am death
Feel no regrets."

"I wanna know where do we go
Where do you take me now
There is no choice, my inner voice
Tells not to fear somehow

It's hard for me to let it be
I cannot understand
I'm still so young, I don't belong
To those who meet their end."

"You always thought your first man would marry you
Now, as it seems, he just comes to burry you
I am this man and I'm gonna be your last
Give me your hand, your life belongs to the past

'Cause I am death
Feel no regrets."

"It's so unfair, 'cause everywhere
I see the blossom grow
While others try to end their lifes
I want it, heaven knows."

"You always thought your first man would marry you
Now, as it seems, he just comes to burry you
I am this man and I'm gonna be your last
Give me your hand, your life belongs to the past

'Cause I am death
Feel no regrets."

Feel no regrets, my friend, I will speak to those who listen
See, I am heaven sent, you will find what you've been missing
Feel no regrets, my friend, noone ever knows the reasons
Why and when it will end. Every life is just a season
Feel no regrets, 'cause I am death

06. Confusion

Instrumental

07. Black

Instrumental

08. Beauty

I'm bliss in everything
The feather and the wing
Though I'm gone
I'm more alive I was
The beauty in it all

When darkness falls around you
And you can see nothing at all
Then there's gonna shine a light
And you will find
There is beauty
That there is beauty

09. No Fear

On a cemetary after midnight
See the dancing spirits in the moonlight
Open your mind, let the world in
You can see it's beauty, there is no sin

Madness - in your brain the quest won't end
Helpless - what is it that never we stop to hurt ourselves, this is
Careless - a force from within will send
Sadness - why don't we try to cut this chains, this chains. I tell ya

If we'd get over and then control our minds
No fear, no fear
No need to look for cover, leave it all behind
No fear, no fear

All that military, every weapon
Only shows how much we are afraid of
Being overrunned, being submitted
Everything we do in absence of love

Madness - we can't share, though all is there
Helpless - we get greedy, we wanna have all for ourselves. This is
Careless - arrogance ignores what is
Sadness - so afraid that it turns around, around. I tell ya

If we'd get over and then control our minds
No fear, no fear
No need to look for cover, leave it all behind
No fear, no fear

No more life to waste and no more tears to taste just
No fear now
Never hide away and always seize the day just
No fear now
No fear now, no fear now, leave it all behind
No fear now, no fear now, open up your mind

10. Soul Survivor

So many screaming faces
Telling me tales I've heared before
I wanna tear down their masks of fake
And all these smiling dealers
Selling me lies I want no more
The're pretending to give but take

All I knew I gave you
I am a soul survivor
What I do, it is true
I am a soul survivor
A life describer, I'm telling no lies

The sharks have sharpened their teeth
Trying to bite and chew it all
What we fought for since all our lifes
I'ts only for the profit
Never it was for you or me
But so many believe their lies

All I knew I gave you
I am a soul survivor
What I do, it is true
I am a soul survivor
A life describer, I'm telling no lies

Oh, you better believe in yourself
Oh, you better be true to yourself

11. Full Moon

The sun is going down on a blood red sky
And I feel it coming from real deep inside
Now I gotta hide

Darkness blacker than black is creeping
Down from all of the trees around
Nothing moves, everything is sleeping
All that creatures won't make a sound

Won't you set me free, won't you set me free
When the full moon will rule the night

I need someone to share my silence
Lonely is it, a hunter's night
Can you feel what I feel and can you
Stand the nightmare to live this life

My beast from within companion in sin

Won't you set me free, won't you set me free
When the full moon will rule the night

I'm falling from grace

Won't you set me free, won't you set me free
When the full moon will rule the night

12. Kill Your Gods

And in the moment of salvation
The only thing he could see was his guilt
He felt his lust was his guilt
And all his life was frustration
'Cause every feeling that he liked, it was killed
Like all his love that was killed

He prays to god to be forgiven for everything he is
A punisher, an angry father, noone needs this

Kill your gods, save your souls
Kill your gods, kill your gods, you'd
Kill your gods, save your souls
Kill your gods, you should kill your gods

To these old men in their robes, they
Are politicians for the sake of their power
It's for the money and the power
Don't tell the world how to live life
We lead our spirits on our own
We'd better kick you from the throne

Dogmatic rules and mighty preachers, the Lord, he sees it well
If he was such a lousy father - I say welcome to hell (Let's go to hell)

Kill your gods, save your souls
Kill your gods, kill your gods, you'd
Kill your gods, save your souls
Kill your gods, kill your gods, don't kill your brothers

Kill your gods, you'd kill your gods

13. Turn my World Around

All my life it took me years to find my way
So hard for me to turn around
Ain't no way to dry my tears or ease my pain
I feel like I am burning out

It seems so long ago, it seems so long ago
Like I have been before
You taught me humbleness

You turn my world around
Turn it upside 'n' down
You turn my world around
I cry without a sound

All in vain, no second chance to give it back
You shouldn't have to take it all
All was stained and then this chain around the neck
The picture that had made me fall

It is so hard to say, it is so hard to say
If I can stand this grief
You gave me bitter years

You turn my world around
Turn it upside 'n' down
You turn my world around
I cry without a sound

You came into my life, took away what I've loved the most
You dried my heart and you killed my soul

You turn my world around
Turn it upside 'n' down
You turn my world around
I cry without a sound

14. Be With Me Or Be Gone

We were the brotherhood
We blindly understood
Were all we needed, it was good
Has been as close, just as we could
But as the years went by
I've seen our friendship die
And when I look into your eyes
It seems you're going separate ways

The inner pressure to hold on tight
Is not a pleasure
Reflect your feelings, do what you want
You better let me know

You should be with me or you should be gone
(Don't waste my time)
You'd be with me or you should be gone
(Don't waste my time)
Be with me or be gone
Be with me or be gone
Stay on my side or leave me be

We went through thick and thin
We made it all begin
And formed a union hard as rock
A grooving machine that was locked
We must have lost this feel
Life's not like stainless steel
Corrosion of integrity
Deceased in our identity

The inner pressure to hold on tight
Is not a pleasure
Reflect your feelings, do what you want
You better let me know

You should be with me or you should be gone
(Don't waste my time)
You'd be with me or you should be gone
(Don't waste my time)
Be with me or be gone
Be with me or be gone
Stay on my side or leave me be

15. Speak Of The Dead

Don't try to tell me you've got the better truth
'Cause this is just a never ending lie
You wouldn't make it to walk in someones shoes
The only thing you share is that you'll die

You follow all those murderers, in phantasies and real
You might become the same, think what you feel

Don't believe in Military, leaving nothing but destruction
No trust in presidents, they don't speak of the dead
Don't do what others tell you, this is only self seduction
They'll try to put you dows when you speak of the dead
Speak of the dead, speak of the dead

Countless in number, mistreated and abused
They were our brothers, do you realise
Do you remember or do you wipe them out
Like all so many, do you close your eyes

If they could raise their voices they would have a lot to say
Avoid the old mistakes, give them their way

Don't believe in Military, leaving nothing but destruction
No trust in presidents, they don't speak of the dead
Don't do what others tell you, this is only self seduction
They'll try to put you dows when you speak of the dead
Speak of the dead, speak of the dead

Don't do what others tell you, this is only self seduction
Don't let them put you down when you
Speak of the dead

Don't believe in Military, leaving nothing but destruction
No trust in presidents, they don't speak of the dead
Don't do what others tell you, this is only self seduction
They'll try to put you dows when you speak of the dead
Speak of the dead, speak of the dead
