01. Running Riot

Music & lyrics by Piet Sielck
I'm burning up
There's a fire in me
The creature is rising
It wants to break free
The city is waiting
It's calling my name
Uh and I'm ready
To be in the game

Mr. Hyde
Rules the night
While poor little Jekyll
Stays home alone
The Devil is smiling
The Angel will loose
And all Hell is about
To break loose

Like a volcano
I need to explode
I'm diving into
Lust and sin
To be a fool
To break the rules

I'm running not - not
No one will stop me tonight
Riot - not
Until the morning light
Sworn to fun
Loyal to none
Except the Devil
And my favorite gun

The night is waiting
I'm anticipating
A perfect performed
Devastation
Fever is rising
There's no compromising
The Beast is unleashed and
There's no turning back

Duties and routine
Keep tying me down
Unlock the cage
To leave the maze
To be a fool
To break the rules

I'm running riot ? not
No one will stop me tonight
Riot - not
Until the morning light
Sworn to fun
Loyal to none
Except the Devil
And my favorite gun

I can't resist
My temptations no more
The overload
Must explode
I'll be a fool
Breaking the rules

I'm running riot - riot
No one will stop me tonight
Riot - not
Until the morning light
Sworn to fun
Loyal to none
Except the Devil
And my favorite gun

02. The Omega Man

Music & lyrics by Piet Sielck
When the sun is up
A lonely man
Roams an empty city
Omnipresent death
Is all around
Riding on deserted streets
In bitter solitude
Silence all around
Without a human sound

The days passing by
In dullness and pain
His fatal creation
Is all that remains

He is the last man alive
The last man alive
Sentenced to survive
The last of his kind
Has seen Armageddon
Destroyer and redeemer
Beginning and end
He's the Omega Man

A new breed of insanity
Is lurking in the shadows
The rulers of the dark
Altered into something else
Not human anymore
Children of the plague
With bleeding marks
What bitter irony
Lies in his sin
He holds the key
To salvation within

It's running through his veins

He is the last man alive
The last man alive
Sentenced to survive
The last of his kind
Has seen Armageddon
Destroyer and redeemer
Beginning and end
He's the Omega Man

The last man alive
Has seen Armageddon
The last man alive
Sentenced to survive
Then came the day
When he had found the others
To pass on his salvation
To bring back life again
He has been destroyer
Now he is redeemer
He is the beginning and the end
He is
The Omega Man

03. Flesh

Music & lyrics by Piet Sielck
Evil is hiding in the shadows
Of the big big city lights
A man-eating monster
Is crawling up your back
Getting ready to attack
Sick and perverted
A psycho's been unleashed
With a mind of delusion
He turned into the beast

An when the night is falling down
He's hunting in the streets

Flesh
He's a virtue with the knife
Flesh
He's eating you alive

Bloodstained
He dwells on mortal sin
With a sick and morbid grin
He is the devil
Lurking in the dark
Possessed by the obsession
He's ripping out your heart

And in the shelter of the dawn
He's pleasing his appetite

Flesh
He's a virtue with the knife
Flesh
He's eating you alive
Flesh - Flesh

An when the night is falling down
He's hunting in the streets
And in the shelter of the dawn
He's pleasing his appetite

Flesh
He's a virtue with the knife
Flesh
He's eating you alive
Flesh - Flesh

He's cutting you
He's slicing you
He's eating you alive

04. Megatropolis

Music & lyrics by Piet Sielck
Right here right now
I'm looking back
To the road
That I've been traveling
That brought me here
I remember Heaven
I saw Hell
And now the hour
For my return (of return)
Is drawing near

Endless is the moment
As if time is standing still
Fractions of a minute
Like a thousand years
Countless are the memories
Of all I used to know
I m ready to go

Big city lights
Are painting the skies
My mind is set
I m raising the eyes
And by all means
I m coming home
To Megatropohs

Nowhere my restless heart
Could find
All I've ever longing for
Some peace of mind
Now I m standing here
Where all began
Now the world has turned
And I became a different man

Nothing to regret

Boldly I was going to
Where no man s gone before
Used to be a Thunderbird
At distant shores
Countless are the memories
Of my adventures past
Now I am back
Back to stay at last

Big city lights
Are painting the skies
My mind is set
I m raising the eyes
And by all means
I m coming home

Though I keep on wondering
What the future holds for me
I m meeting fate so easefully
Countless are the visions
Of my future road
Bur right now I'm here
And I'm here for good

Big city lights
Are painting the skies
My mind is set
I m raising the eyes
And by all means
I m coming home
To Megatropolis

Megatropolis I have returned

05. Cybernetic Queen

Music & lyrics by Piet Sielck
When the light of day is fading
And dusk is drawing near
Seductively - unsearchable
She appears
Her deep blue eyes of a cyborg
Are scanning potential punters

A smile makes them believe
That they are the hunters

With perfect looks
She sells her goods
For money they will get
Her fantasies
Her lust and dreams
She'II bring them down
Down on their knees

Cybernetic queen of passion
A guarantee of satisfaction
And while she burns in fire
Melting down in sweet desire
Her heart is cold
Cold as ice

So many men did fall
So little she cares
And even though
They've been burnt before
They're coming back for more
With perfect skill
She lulls their will
And then she gives them
All their fantasies
Their lust and dreams
She brings them down
Down on their knees

Cybernetic queen of passion
Is guaranteeing satisfaction
And while you burn in fire
Melting down in sweet desire
Your heart is cold

Cybernetic queen of passion
Is guaranteeing satisfaction
And while you burn in fire
Melting down in sweet desire
Your heart is cold
Cold as ice

06. Cyber Hero

Music & lyrics by Piet Sielck
You are the true defender
Bristling with guns
Chosen by the gods
To save the land
Become a mighty wizard
With powers beyond believe
The ultimate adventure
Is at hand

Pull out the shotgun
Upraise the sword
Pick up the blaster
Once you're restored

Load your game and
Slip into another life
Chose your weapons
And survive
Step across the borders
Into different orders
Save your game
And play again
Cyber hero

Gird yourself for the battle
Get on your mighty steed
You are sheer invincible
A bringer of defeat
Savior of the universe
Protected by the force
Fighting 'til the end
Without remorse

Destroy the monsters
Strike down the foe
Repel the demons
And hit "Control"

Load your game and
Slip into another life

And by your cyber hand
You put it to an end
Your guns are blazing
At your command
You bring deliverance
To the land
The spawn of hell
Screams in rage
'Cause you're about to win
The final stage

Load your game and
Slip into another life

07. A Tale From Down Below

Music & lyrics by Piet Sielck
Down below the city
Where the light is cold and dim
Creatures without name
Are paying for the sin
Not dead nor alive
In a dark and toxic reign
Infected by the virus
We failed to reach the aim

Damned to walk the night
Access to the world above denied
Lost without a cure
But as long as we are standing
I'll endure

On that very day
God has turned away
Even though I pray
Hear my words

Heal me
Heal my scars
I'm longing for peace
Heal me
Heal my pain
Let me walk the daylight again

We challenged the Creation
In the hope to reveal
The secrets of the Maker
When the agent broke the seal
Immortal we are suffering
For opening the locks
To see what is concealed
Inside Pandora's box

And though we have
To walk the night
With access to the life above
Denied

Can't you hear my cry
Let us life or die
Longing for salvation
Set us free

Heal me

08. Still I Believe

Music & lyrics by Piet Sielck
Am I surrounded by madness
Or is it just me
Who cannot see
The greatness of Man
Fighting and killing ourselves
As best as we can

Seems as we're breaking
For nothing at all
People must wake up
This is the final call

But still I believe
That tomorrow (will)
Be a brighter day
We are dancing on the edge
Though we're still in time
For that train we need to catch

There's a hole in the sky
The land is bleeding
Doomed to die
Self proclaimed saviors
Are slinging the gun
Give me a break
Uh, I cannot go on

But still I believe
That tomorrow (will)
Be a brighter day
We are dancing on the edge
Though we're still in time
For that train we need to catch

But still I believe
That tomorrow (will)
Be a brighter day
We are dancing on the edge
Though we're still in time
For that train we need to catch

09. Farewell And Goodbye

Music & lyrics by Piet Sielck
I am immortal
I am perpetual
I am unbreakable
I'm bringing fire
That swallow up worlds

I'm annihilation
I'm a protector
I am a savior
A keeper
Of wisdom and knowledge
I can bring deliverance
I am salvation

I traveled the stars
And even beyond
But all the places
That I saw
Weren't holding
What I'm searching for
Just some peace of mind

And how I wish to be
What I can never be
Forever I will be enchained
Changed to the entity
Of the machinery
Oh, have mercy on me
Set me free

Older than old
But never to age
A relict of ancient times
Deracinated - diluted
On the edge of insanity
I'm dominator
I am damnation

Existence is twisting my soul
Oh, I am ready
To meet my fate
Give me salvation

None of my powers
Is holding the cure
'Cause after all I'm just a man
With a broken dream
Not Man and not machine

And how I wish to be
What I can never be
Forever I will be enchained
Changed to the entity
Of the machinery
Oh, have mercy on me
Set me free

And how I wish to be
What I can never be
Forever I will be enchained
Changed to the entity
Of the machinery
Oh, have mercy on me
Set me free

I have to leave behind
The tortures in my mind
Farewell my children, goodbye
Forever I gonna fly
Like a star in the sky
I'll be looking down on you
Farewell and goodbye

10. Hammerdown

Music by Küstner
Lyrics by Leaonhardt
Cruising down the skyway
Right into the blue
I got my motor running
'Cause I'm right here with you
Come on, babe let's take a ride
Be devil-may-care
Point your fingers anywhere
And I will take you there

We need a break
From this nine to five
We need to feel
That we're still alive
Just count on three, babe
And we will be gone
Just you and me
One on one

We're on a hammerdown to freedom (freedom)
We'll know the exit when we see it (freedom)
Keep bringing the hammer down

Jack into socket
Psyched up to the max
Who cares about tomorrow?
Who cares about the past?
Hit the manual override
All warnings overruled
To hell with the devil
We know our hearts are true

We'll find adventure
Wherever it hides
Just for the moment
It's good to be alive
Breaking with rat race
Was long overdue
We got all we need, babe,
Just me and you

We're on a hammerdown to freedom (freedom)
We'll know the exit when we see it (freedom)
Keep bringing the hammer down
