01. I Want It All

Nothing is to complicated
Nothing is too distant here
Not a door for me, obstructive
I´m unstoppable

Anyone upon this planet
Can defeat the impossible
No one is above the other
We are equal

Tonight I´m not afraid of living
And I don´t ever want to waste my time

All! I just want it all! Or want nothing at all
This is the chance I´m taking
All! I just want it all! Or want nothing at all
This is the life I´m given
I just want it all

There´s burninig flame I follow
Heart and soul a touch of grace
Cause tomorrow waits for no one
A treasure´s waiting there

If there´s no gold under the rainbow
It´s still a ride I never will forget

All! I just want it all! Or want nothing at all
This is the chance I´m taking
All! I just want it all! Or want nothing at all
Make me a life worth living

02. Until Our Kingdom Falls

When you travel through the darkness

Here I am armed and ready
Well I don´t know what you may have heard
Talk is cheap I´m still standing
And I´m ready for your command

So get yourself together
Stop acting like a fool
I say it´s now or never
And they don´t make rules

When you travel through the darkness
And it´s hard to find the way
I will stand by you UNTIL OUR KINGDOM FALLS
And when you sail into the dark night
With no stars to guide your way
I will still follow you UNTIL OUR KINGDOM FALLS

Let´s purify what we´re got here
Let´s give them something they can talk about
It´s burning hot, our condition
We´ve got the fire se let´s let it go

I say it´s now or never
And they don´t make the rules

When you travel through the darkness
And itś hard to find the way
I will stand by you UNTIL OUR KINGDOM FALLS
And when you sail into the dark night
With no stars to guide your way
I will still follow you UNTIL OUR KINGDOM FALLS

03. Father To A Son

I'm gonna spend my money on a motorbike
Like spitfire jet, I'm gonna cross the sky
I'm gonna tame the cobra when it coils to strike
I wanna feed the fire, the one that never dies

You think I'm crazy, but I'll never stop

All because of you, I'm holding on
To the dreams you gave me
Father to a son
Whatever I've become
Oh, I will pass it on
Inconceivable it seems
But I hope that you can see
Your son

People I meet say I'm a lot like you
No matter my denial inside I know it's true
When the times are changing and I see the past
I can feel the burden that was on your back

They said "You're crazy!" but you never stopped

All because of you, I'm holding on
To the dreams you gave me
Father to a son
Whatever I've become
Oh, I will pass it on
Inconceivable it seems
But I hope that you can see
Your son

And the peace you never found in life
Will find you on the other side?

04. I Believe In You

Why do I live with so much fear?
I'm filled with doubt, I'm close to tears
Is there truth to a word they say?
I can't decide, should I go or stay?

Black is the night, I can taste the dark
I look to the sky, I wait for a spark
I know the end is drawing near,
The choir of angels is all I hear

Oh, you keep me hangin' on
And I can't let you go
I prayed this day would come (now, forever)
Seasons come and seasons go, I know
We must carry on
The fall from grace was long
But I believe in you

Blinded by the light of a coming train
I try to escape but it's all in vain
Can this be real or a haunted dream
If I awake, tell me what it means

Barren lands ridden by a plague
I look around what is left to save
No way out this is our fate
The band plays on go save yourself!

05. Cuts Like A Knife

Every step she takes
And all the moves she makes
You are right behind....with a bleedin' heart
And time again i tell you she's gone for good
And still you wait

It cuts like a knife but you don't mind the pain
You pray for your life and slowly go insane
The s.o.s you're sending no one seems to hear
Cuts like a knife but you enjoy the pain
The pain, the pain

You're locked outside the door
You're pride's been bought and sold
Oh you think she's what you need
But still you bleed

It cuts like a knife but you don't mind the pain
You pray for your life and slowly go insane
The s.o.s you're sending no one seems to hear
Cuts like a knife but you enjoy the pain
The pain, the pain

06. As Time Is Passing By

I was born upon the lakeside,
Back in 1969,
I was the last son of a preacher,
A time of hope and joy.

A giant leap was made for mankind,
You did your best to catch the moon,
Right behind you we we're waiting,
But when you turned around,
No one could be found.

I guess i'll never understand you,
And all the choices that you made,
I hope someday i can forgive you,
I will try as time is passing by.

I passed the house we spent the summers,
That old tree we used to climb,
Mmmm, despite the beauty of the setting,
I can't deny, how i have felt like crying.

I guess i'll never understand you,
And all the choices that you made,
I hope someday i can forgive you,
I will try as time is passing by.

Not a time for confrontation,
You had your way when i had mine,
And all the more that's all pretention,
You said goodbye, (goodbye goodbye)
Goodbye (goodbye goodbye)

I guess i'll never understand you,
And the choices that you made,
I hope someday i can forgive you,
Ooh you know that i will try,
As time, time is passing by.

I will never understand you,
And the hurt you kept inside,
Can you hear me if you try,
Well i refuse to be a victim,
Hope someday i can forgive you,
You know that i will try,
As time is passing,
I will try,
As time is passing,
Time is passing by.

07. Love Is All

Beating drums through the night
Flaming lights in the sky
Marching feet, fisted hands
For a cause I don't understand

Hiding low and pray it will pass
Maybe there'll be day at last
Where the children used to play
Lies broken glass and fields of clay

All the good that is gone
In this life that we're given
My absolution seems not enough
'Cause still the tender turns to tough
In desperation we try
To understand why
And the destruction that you bring
Don't you know?? Will never solve a thing

No truth, no religion
No oath you are given
No knowledge of history
Can seem to reveal our mystery
No faith and no writing
No law and no fighting
No decree and no hidden sign
Can make us deny
We are one and love is all

Tell me when your task is done
Show me now the victory won
Will rock and stone start to sing?
Bleeding wounds heal again?

Oh? In desperation we try
To understand why
And the destruction that you bring
Don't you know?? Will never solve a thing
