01. Introduce

[Instrumental]

02. Southgate

A breeze of eternity strokes over my skin
I don't tell from a game only from awin
Remember the story of Rainbowland
Maybe now You get your second whack
In the dimension where all dimensions end
is no requiem which you could rescind
You hold the future in your hand
Have all the keys for the promised land

One day I hear you cry

We are waiting for the new take
But come back to the southgate
So try to wind up our clockwork toys
But no cheers from the girls and boys

Let me take you far away
To confront you with this day
You go from where you came
From the beginning to the end
And your spirit leaves your body
Spirit bodies go on the journey
Only one entrance and only one exit
At your ships helm always yourself sit

Southgate Southgate
At the Southgate of the run
Here is where all end - here all began
At the Southgate of your ways
You get every time - it's the end of all days
I could show you where to go
We both knew that it was the truth
Southgate - endbreak
Southgate - New agape

Alike what on the bottom of your heart lies
The creator not once heavily armed past by
The guards lead you to the gate
But your case will not be retryed

Ask Carol where she went
With your heart in your hand
Are your protection of a fool
For big city sharks not as a rule
You say goodbye cause you'll never see
Your friend - the puppet of the mighty
For father is what counts love and sin
And not always may the best one win
The nameless child in each of us
Only with it in God we trust
Now you need not to sweat with fear
Cause you could have Jesus very near
no saying, no fairy tale; but it could be one
A dumb look reminds of what you have done

I doesn't need to be

We are waiting for the new take
But come back to the southgate
So try to wind up our clockwork toys
But no cheers from the girls and boys

At the Southgate of the run
Here is where all end - here all began
At the Southgate of your ways
You get every time - it's the end of all days
I could show you where to go
We both knew that it was the truth
Southgate - endbreak
Southgate - New agape

Many legends about the sense of life
Many questions about place and time
Wolves in sheep's clothing tell you lies
He tries to throw dust in your eyes
He's not the sandman but tries to be
Does everything that you can't see
So keep your wit in about be one
Don't do what a wizard could have done

Don't wait for this time

We are waiting for the new take
But come back to the southgate
So try to wind up our clockwork toys
But no cheers from the girls or boys

There's a better place to be
You smile 'cause you couldn't see
Life through so many different episodes
But never wanted to believe in God
Don't see the wind but you know it was
Don't see how it freezes but know it does
One day you will turn back the wheel of time
But the shepherd walks already on his line

Southgate Southgate
At the Southgate of the run
Here is where all end - here all began
At the Southgate of your ways
You get every time - it's the end of all days
I could show you where to go
We both knew that it was the truth
Southgate - endbreak
Southgate - New agape

Seven hundred seventy seven
Read the bible and listen to heaven
One life - with or without prayers
One life - one time for all to give
Many ways - with or without prayers

03. Protection Of Fool

I know it's wrong - I know what's right
I'm someone on your side
I don't want to stand - I don't want to go
I'm searching for someone without a show

Protection of fool - I don't know how I can do
Protection of fool - Maybe it's a wrong thing to do
Protection of fool - I don't know how I can do
Protection of fool - Maybe it's a wrong thing to do
Take me in - lift me up - please me to - pray for me

I have left my own and I have waste
Now I'm searching for a brand new taste
Love was a risk but love was great
Could be for me it was too late

Protection of fool - I don't know how I can do
Protection of fool - Maybe it's a wrong thing to do
Protection of fool - I don't know how I can do
Protection of fool - Maybe it's a wrong thing to do
Take me in - lift me up - please me to - pray for me

I'm waiting for you I'm waiting for the day
Where we together for our future could pray
Good times will come, bad times will blow
Father please show me the right way to go

Protection of fool - I don't know how I can do
Protection of fool - Maybe it's a wrong thing to do
Protection of fool - I don't know how I can do
Protection of fool - Maybe it's a wrong thing to do
Take me in - lift me up - please me to - pray for me

04. Carol

You told me you don't hold much to life
Why you didn't want to tell me
Carol N, 24 - Jumped out of the 30th floor
I fear the day of this headline
Carol, please don't go. Carol
Bloody face, distorted and lifeless
Clammy hands - fear of what could be
You don't believe there's anything after death
I fear I'm talking against the wall

Carol - No life in your dreams
Carol - Cool as ice it seems
And in your eyes there is a lonely empty place
I can see it, if I look deep in your face

Life is rough, at least the trivial things
But maybe not what's most important
Cross, love, fantasies - does all pass?
All conspire against you - caution who dares!
Carol please don't go. Carol
Don't drink the sepultre of finality
I'm honest - and you must be too
Don't play games, they'll play with you
Only cowards run - you have no reason

Carol - No life in your dreams
Carol - Cool as ice it seems
And in your eyes there is a lonely empty place
I can see it, if I look deep in your face

05. Father

Can we be friends forever? After death we will see us never?
You're living your life and can't understand how I live mine.

Father hear my cry tonight
Father listen to me
Father with open eyes he cannot see
Father make him - please make him free

There is a party in heaven for a sinner who sees his chance
There will be a pleasure dance for a sinner who sees his chance

Father hear my cry tonight
Father listen to me
Father with open eyes he cannot see
Father make him - please make him free

If you hear this song remember it could be your last
Or do you really know that you will live tomorrow
What will be in a life after death, are you ready to die
Are you really ready to die just think about it

Father hear my cry tonight
Father listen to me
Father with open eyes he cannot see
Father make him - please make him free

I hope in heaven we can meet together
I hope you'll be there to have fun forever
You know the way to be
Pray, pray, pray then you will live forever.

Father hear my cry tonight
Father listen to me
Father with open eyes he cannot see
Father make him - please make him free

06. May The Best One Win

Up 'til now everything was alright
You and I - side by side
Every day and every night
But now comes a wild tide

I have given you every freedom
Don't ever want to constrict you
And you could not evade it
wouldn't see the danger through him

Face To Face - May the best one win
Face To Face - The ice is getting thin
Face To Face - The battle has begun
Face To Face - And there was no run
Face To Face - May The Best One win - Face To Face

She never knows what she wants
confusion and torn feelings in her;
don't know what's wrong or right
Nightmare of feelings for the bride

We lose two people if we lose
can anyone really win this
everyone must give up at least once
too much freedom too much trouble
But may the better one win
But may the best one win

Face To Face - May the best one win
Face To Face - The ice is getting thin
Face To Face - The battle has begun
Face To Face - And there was no run
Face To Face - May The Best One win - Face To Face

He was my best friend until now - something starts which none wants
Nothing can ever be as it was - feels like a drama in a bad movie

07. Puppet Of The Mighty

Unknown soldier, I stand here at your grave
And thoughts are running through my brain
Perhaps, when the war begun you were as old as I am
And it took your dreams, took your dreams
Unknown soldier I stand here at your grave
Only born and brought up for the war
Only killing around to live obediently until death
For your native land

[Chorus:]
Puppet of the mighty
You have seen how they died, belonged to their cries
Not those who wanted the war and fought the battle at home
Puppet of the mighty
The poison of fear has poisoned you
With us the threads of the puppet are destroyed anyhow

Unknown soldier every year in front of your grave
They stand and hold speeches and were never there
The war has hardly passed, new weapons for the country
And your death was for nothing, was really for nothing

[Chorus]

Puppet of the mighty you have seen how they died
Puppet of the mighty belonged to their cries
Day by day only the fear it had poisoned you.
Live for death and die for nothing
Everything senseless all for the mighty
They think they are God
But God doesn't want this insanity
You could say that I'm ill
But one day they'll get their bill

[Chorus]

Puppet of the mighty you have seen how they died
Puppet of the mighty belonged to their cries
Day by day only the fear it had poisoned you

08. Storm 1

[Instrumental]

09. Heart In Your Hand

Don't tell me your part
In don't try to remember
I'll think about the start
About one day in December
You can't stand me
And I can't stand you
But today we can see
Sky is not always blue
Don't say you love me
Cause we both know you don't
Together - I feel it can't be
Try to leave you beyond
In the sky I see white doves
I know I can't stop loving you
Think about what's happen above
Doves of love doves of truth

[Chorus:]
You hold my heart in your hand
And you don't know what to do with it
You hold my heart in you hand
And play your games, castles in the sand

I'll try not to break
Turn my head up to live
Not do the same mistakes
But there is no way to give
And I'll pray for you
Yes, I get on my knees
You needed I know
Then I'll pray for me

[Chorus]

Stop! What do you want to do
With my heart in your hand?
Stop! I am not one of the things you can rent

[Chorus]

Stop! What do you want to do
With my heart in your hand?
Stop! I am not one of the things you can rent

10. Nameless Child

We get lost in our time for ourselves.
Is it really worth it to let the child die?
That nameless child in each of our life's
Don't look and chain it until it dies within!
I can not grasp and understand it anymore
You want the child in you dies and decays
Although you know it, admit it and find it OK
Believe it's better to be hard and unreachable

[Chorus:]
The child in each of us that nameless child
In the prison of so many of us
You child in each of us You nameless child
I'll pray that your time comes again

We work so many hours each new day, so many important
Reasons in all our acting. Not only the child in us also the real
Children decay for us, with us and die like the child in us
Why we became so blind? We don't know today whatever it
Isn't important for anybody. Let us finally learn from the errors
Of the past, get up to finally react, before both children die

[Chorus]

You let us laugh when there is nothing to laugh
Don't give up, endure for today
Child you let us believe, hope and dream
Don't give up, it isn't lost yet

[Chorus]

You let us laugh when there is nothing to laugh
Don't give up, endure for today
Child you let us believe, hope and dream
Don't give up, it isn't lost yet

11. Big City Sharks

They are everywhere and always there
At anytime and anywhere
They don't foul up Never!
They know everything about everyone
They know everything about you
Everyone knows and fears them
They are the untouchables
Don't ever cross with them
If you do, you'll be the next one

[Chorus:]
Big city sharks their shadows aren't just in the city
Big city sharks they'll find your weakness too
Big city sharks straight thinkers always right
Big city sharks they'll show you your facts too

So strong everyone astounded
So stupid everyone's screaming
So smart and perfectly gifted
That they only cry when they're alone

[Chorus]

Hey shark who but you loves you?
Hey shark there is one you don't love him
Hey shark you can't fool him
Hey shark don't forget that you are not God!
They drive better whatever that means
They love much better however that goes
Someday you'll see their weaknesses too
cause one day they'll stand before God too.

[Chorus]

12. Goodbye

Now it's time for a break and if we don't we make a mistake
We walk for time on the line, to say goodbye - I have seen the sign.
We have to say goodbye, and if we say it, it's no lie,
So if we could see us again may the same flame burn within.

Goodbye my friend but that's no separation forever
Goodbye my friend, please don't look back - goodbye.
God bless you on all your ways that's my prayer for you
Goodbye my friend, I will be here for you - goodbye.
Every day goes by
Farewell my friend
Time to say goodbye
Farewell my friend
Goodbye

I pray that the day will come,
where we will belong to him
I wish you true friends on your way
and more wisdom day by day

My wishes are for you, and every day a piece of truth too
I'll never forgot you, I promise, memories of you - for me a secret bliss.

Goodbye my friend but that's no separation forever
Goodbye my friend, please don't look back - goodbye.
God bless you on all your ways that's my prayer for you
Goodbye my friend, I will be here for you - goodbye.
Every day goes by
Farewell my friend
Time to say goodbye
Farewell my friend
Goodbye

If the night envelops you - don't forget me.
If the thunder smashes you - don't forget me.
I am here and if you get fear - don't forget me.
If you need me, come to me, cause I'll wait for you forever;
I am here and if you get fear - don't forget me.
If you need me or it's necessary, I'll wait for you forever;

Goodbye my friend but that's no separation forever
Goodbye my friend, please don't look back - goodbye.
God bless you on all your ways that's my prayer for you
Goodbye my friend, I will be here for you - goodbye.
Every day goes by
Farewell my friend
Time to say goodbye
Farewell my friend
Goodbye
