01. If I Die In Battle

Six winds blow as one. They will turn the tide.
We are marching on, standing side by side
And we'll carry on until all the fire is gone
Blown away, away to lands beyond.
Winds blow as one.

They try to oppress us.
Steal the faith out of our lives.
Still they are the flame for dreadful fires.
They try to undermine us night by night.
Now they are unmasked. They're full of lies

They never learned how to stand as one.
And how to abandon fear.
We will be their storm-wall closing in.

If I die in Battle,
find dark blood upon my steel.
If I die in Battle,
tell them I stood, and never kneeled.
If I die in Battle,
my soul will be saved and gone.
I won't die in battle.
I'll fly north with six winds blowing as one.


They did not await us and the kingdom we will raise.
Yes we are their nightmare deep within.
They underestimate us.
Our faith alive for our freedom and our new life to begin.

They will never bring us down.
They never rule our life.
We will be a tempest rising high.

What might end and we'll start again.
We will never die.
We will be a thunderstorm of life.

02. The Seller Of Souls

I am the hangman's son.
I'm trading in souls and their bereavements.
When all your life is gone
I'm weighing your sins and your achievements.
Oh - I'm the seller of souls.
I'm heading for whom the bell tolls.
Oh - I'm the seller of souls.
In league with the devil himself.

We came to sell our souls among.
We're here to sing with you along.
This is the soul collector's song,
so sing and spare your life!
Come sing with me your final song.
We're here to sing it all night long.
This is the soul collector's song
so sing to spare your life!

A real life is paved with sin.
I won't cleanse their soul from all their features.
Cause it's human strain therein.
So precious to have as human creatures.
Oh - I'm the seller of souls.
I'm heading for whom the bell tolls.
Oh - I'm the seller of souls.
Give the devil his due when he comes for you.

03. Primo Victoria

Through the gates of hell
As we make our way to heaven
Through the Nazi lines
Primo victoria

We've been training for years
Now we're ready to strike
As the great operation begins
We're the first wave on the shore
We're the first ones to fall
Yet soldiers have fallen before

In the dawn they will pay
With their lives as the price
History's written today
In this burning inferno
Know that nothing remains
As our forces advance on the beach

Aiming for heaven though serving in hell
Victory is ours their forces will fall

Through the gates of hell
As we make our way to heaven
Through the Nazi lines
Primo victoria

On the 6th of June
On the shores of western Europe 1944
D-day upon us

We've been here before
Used to this kind of war
Crossfire grind through the sand
Our orders were easy
It's kill or be killed
Blood on both sides will be spilled

In the dawn they will pay
With their lives as the price
History's written today
Now that we are at war
With the axis again
This time we know what will come

Aiming for heaven though serving in hell
Victory is ours their forces will fall

Through the gates of hell
As we make our way to heaven
Through the Nazi lines
Primo victoria

On the 6th of June
On the shores of western Europe 1944
D-day upon us

6th of June 1944
Allies are turning the war
Normandy state of anarchy
Overlord

Aiming for heaven though serving in hell
Victory is ours their forces will fall

Through the gates of hell
As we make our way to heaven
Through the Nazi lines
Primo victoria

On the 6th of June
On the shores of western Europe 1944
D-day upon us

Through the gates of hell
As we make our way to heaven
Through the Nazi lines
Primo victoria

On the 6th of June
On the shores of western Europe 1944
Primo victoria

04. Dangers In My Head

On my own.
The ghost of a stone.
Time is passing by.
Still untrodden my land lies.

"We got to move ahead."
This is what they said.
What they always told.
No secret left unfold.

On and on, still no wind blows.
No wind blows tonight.
I move on as I want to stay deep inside.

Dangers in my head are rising.
From a darker land.
Denying what has been before.
Forever dangers rising high. In my head

Dangers in my head are rising,
trying to amend the lies I'm in.
Dangers in my head.
Forever dangers rising high. In my head

Clouds roll by.
The black of night
Veils my certainty of what is left to see.
It begins in delight
but it might end in wisdom.
Clouds move aside.
This storm will raise a kingdom.
Agony inhaled by black tornados.

05. Black Wings Of Hate

Standing at the abyss another path's ending down here.
Still I bear the storm inside blurring my eyes.
Banishing the farewell-cut, deep in my heart with the fear
of another black cruel decision of life.

Now I feel the pain of the ripping wound that never heals.
Gimme water, I throw the needle away.
Do I have to pay this price that old absess reveals?
Take the time to have a rethink bout my days.

No!
You are afraid, it is too late.
There is no time to win your life.
And what remains flows in your veins.
Come closer yeah - I am the fight.

I have been the one who was drowning in this lake of tears.
Now I have the last time to borrow advice.
Starring at the crossroad of life-history of my fears.
I'll be on my way when the flame becomes ice.


When the light is breaking through my disease
dark ones are gaining their heir.
Turning winds are hearing your silent scream.
My love and lack of despair.
And I will return from death and your emptiness.

06. Bed Of Nails

Yeah, we're gonna fight
We do it every night
Baby, when you scratch
You know I'm gonna bite
You can make me die
I can make you cry
Opposites attract
That's the reason why
No one else could make you feel
Like I do, I do, I do
No one else gets that deep inside you
As I do, baby
Our love is a bed of nails
Love hurts good on a bed of nails
I'll lay you down and when all else fails
I'll drive you like hammer on the bed of nails
First we're gonna kiss
Then we're gonna say
Dirty little words
Only lovers say
Rockin'thru the night
Rollin'on the floor
When they hear us screamin'
They'll be breakin'down the door
No one else could make you feel
Like I do, I do, I do
No one else gets that deep inside you
As I do, baby
Our love is a bed of nails
Love hurts good on a bed of nails
I'll lay you down and when all else fails
I'll drive you like hammer on the bed of nails
Bed of nails, Bed of nails
I'll drive you like hammer on the bed of nails
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow
Gonna drive you like hammer
Baby, put me in your slammer, oh yeah
No one else could make you feel
Like I do, I do, I do
No one else gets that deep inside you
As I do, baby
Our love is a bed of nails
Love hurts good on a bed of nails
I'll lay you down and when all else fails
I'll drive you like hammer on the bed of nails
Bed of nails, get on my bed of nails
I'll drive you like hammer on the bed of nails
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow
Gonna drive you like hammer
Baby, put me in your slammer, oh yeah
I'll drive you like hammer on the bed of nails

07. Spelled In Waters

Phrases laughing right in your face.
Writing depth into this shallowness.
Carving a name just to leave a trace.
A body resounding with hollowness.

Meaning, please come onto me.
Explain these deeds of vanity.

With every failure and every falter
may my name be spelled in waters.

So many words, but nothing to say
Still I'm waiting for a sense to come.
I am silent. Words took my voice away.
Tamed and harmless I am. All alone.

This empty page best remains forsaken,
describing roads already taken.

Echoing what was heardbefre,
irrelevance immortalized.
Please try to remember me.
"Someone who has already tried."
But uttered words do not live long.
Silence will engulf this song.

08. Neuer Wind

Es sind jetzt mehr als 1000 Tagé
seit du aufgebrochen bist.
Und noch mehr als 100 Stunden
bis der Schlaf dir sicher ist

Egal wie sehr du hadern magst,
mit diesem Jetzt und Hier.
Die Antwort, die du suchst, liegt noch vor Dir.

Geh diesen Weg.
Dreh nicht weider um.
Geh ihn bis zum Schluss.
Ein Weg der gegangen werden muss.
Es ist nicht merh weit.
Geh noch dieses Stúck.
Und lass dich bitte nicht zurúck

Bei Sturmgewalt und Regen,
lauf auf neuen Wegen.
Kopf hoch - Neuer Wind kommt von vorn.

Stemm dich fest dagegen.
Wer nicht kámpft hat schon verloren.
Neuer Wind kommt stets von vorn.

Bei Sturmgewalt und Regen,
lauf auf neuen Wegen.
Kopf hoch - Neuer Wind kommt von vorn.

Stemm dich fest dagegen,
Morgen wirst du neu geboren.
Neuer Wind kommt stets von vorn.

Egal wie kalt die Nachte sind,
du bist nicht allein.
Hier sammeln sich alle Máchte,
lass es deine sein.
Und wenn dun auch an Kraft verlierst
verzweifle daran nicht.
Denn sicher ist du hast du immer noch dich.

09. The Higher Flight

I am a fortune teller.
I have the second sight.
But I'm standing here alone.
As with every fortune that I foresee the anxiety grows.

I've got nothing to tell you.
Trueness is betryal.
I'll keep the lore for me and waste your sanity.
To break the silence is a deadly sin.
The truth remains buried within.


I will end this night on a higher flight.
I'll bring a light into what lies in the dark.

I'm flying for all time.
I will never die.
On this higher flight I lighten your heart.
We fly to a brand new start.


Evolution. Cut off the world.
Revolution. Tamed and disturbed.
Endless yearning. Waiting for me?
A hero returning. Making them see.

I've got something to tell you
'though trueness is betryal.
Take the lore from me and heal your sanity
We break the silence with voices no one can ignore.
We're heading for more.
A fortune letter will light up
the truth that's been buried within

To all liars who're trying to keep voice calm;
You will not succeed in not making things better.
To all believers still wandering on;
Keep track. Stay close. YOur time will come.

All that I have ever believed
nothing but the start of something.
I will not remember. Not at all.

10. Master Of The Wind

In the silence of the darkness when all are fast asleep
I live inside a dream calling to your spirit
As a sail calls the
wind, hear the angels sing

Far beyond the sun across the western sky
Reach into the blackness find a silver line
In a voice I
whisper a candle in the night
We'll carry all our dreams in a single beam of light

Close your eyes, look into the dream
Winds
of change will winds of fortune bring

Fly away to a rainbow in the sky gold is at the end for each of us to find
There the road
begins where another one will end
Here the four winds know who will break and who will bend
All to be the master of the
wind

Falling stars now light my way
My life was written on the wind
Clouds above, clouds below
High ascend the dreams
within

When the wind fills the sky the clouds will move aside
And there will be the road to all our dreams
For any day that
stings two better days it brings

Nothing is as bad as it seems
Close your eyes, look into the dream
Wins of change will winds
of fortune bring

Fly away to a rainbow in the sky gold is at the end for each of us to find
There the road begins where another
one will end
Here the four winds know who will break and who will bend
All to be the master of the wind

Fly away to a rainbow in the sky gold is at the end for each of us to find
There the road begins where another
one will end
Here the four winds know who will break and who will bend
All to be the master of the wind

Fly away to a rainbow in the sky gold is at the end for each of us to find
There the road begins where another
one will end
Here the four winds know who will break and who will bend
All to be the master of the wind

Fly away to a rainbow in the sky gold is at the end for each of us to find
There the road begins where another
one will end
Here the four winds know who will break and who will bend
All to be the master of the wind
