[Music: P. Wagner, M. Schmidt/Lyrics: P. Wagner]
A simple man from a no - wonderland
where you bury your dreams at birth.
He took a heart, cause he couldn't believe
that there's no better place on earth
Eastern man meets western land
holding his life in his hands
it is all over for those, who got nothing to lose
All of his life he had struggled for free
starving the rest of the time
without a ...
Just alone, they're gone away
Six feet under ground
This was only yesterday
Six feet under ground
I've had my time, I've had my place
I've gone too far, stuck in disgrace
What is it that I have not found
Six feet under ground
Let me go, let me see clear
Let me look around
Something's waiting but not here
Six feet under ground
I've had my time, I've had my place
I've gone too far, stuck in disg...

This journey started long ago
When will it end?
I don't know
My ship's been stranded many times
I've missed some chances,
Yes, I know
My tale is not 'bout a hero
Anyway, but the stone and the flute are
With me
A pilgrim's path
I was a boy when Arnie died.
He put it all in my hands
This was the time I had to leave
On this path with no release
Though ...
Music by P. Wagner, S. Fischer, S. Efthimiadis / Lyrics by P. Wagner
This world?s so materialistic,
our life just makes sense when we buy.
You?re just a part of the statistics
when there?s a red line on your bank account, your cash runs out.
Half the population blinds their eyes.
They pretend a credit gives them wealthiness, consume contest
Just like a spider?s web
Just like a spider?s web

We're moving on, to where we don't know
After the end of eternity
We'll be gone and nothing will show
Maybe a name that is carved in stone
God forgive me, for I know what I have done
It wasn't meant to be so real
Endless nights, so many have passed
You were the first but not the last
Still I'm here, condemned to survive
I can't be dead, can't be alive
After all is said and done
We have to carr...
Music by P. Wagner, C. Efthimiadis / Lyrics by P. Wagner
As I walk the streets I feel no pain,
there is no love or hate, can?t see no certain state I?m in.
And a hog laid itself on my heart
like this misty morning as this cloudy day begins.
Still I wonder should I be afraid
about what?s happening and how long has it been - don?t know.
Why did come this shadow in my head

Music and Lyrics by P. Wagner
Now, as I had a look at you
it took a heartbeat and I knew
that the candle of my life was burning shorter.
You turned me Rround to face myself,
to make me trust in what I am,
now, after all that I have done it makes me wonder I?m around.
Now the night has gone, better days to come.
All this time I have been afraid, it is not too late...
All this time while we talk...

[Lyrics by: P. Wagner]
In the depths of our mind
There hides a lust that's really dangerous and blind
Waiting for the outburst, for an instigation, I bet
You won't be ashamed
To kill if you're not blamed
It won't need much to free
The element of crime
Our world is full of hidden crime
What they call god is nothing but an empty shell
And in this name they think...

Again they buried an old miner
The poisoned stocks of stone in sight
The wind was sick from dust
They all knew that it would settle overnight
And they all went to work into the mines the next day
Like they'd done more than forty years now
They had destroyed their land for the atomic curse
'Cause they hoped it would help them somehow
Those who worked for a better life
Don't know t...
See these people like me, living in this dirty place
Feel this depression in these streets that lame the brain
It kills the will that drives me on
'Cause where'a no hope all power's gone
Why Am I here? A senseless birth
I'm not afraid to leave this earth
Heal these hollow eyes that keep on starting at these walls
Fill the empty space that's in these heads where chaos crawls

What's this scenery, I can see it clearly.
I'm the visionary, it's the moment of my birth.

But really shows the weaker part of me.

In the top of the trees all these eyes follow me.
All is black, like the crows, stiff my neck as it bows.
On my knees I will play among death and decay,
And it blackens the sun as the end has begun.

That gathered now to purity the world.

Oh, I give a fuck
To what you say 'bout what I'm doing -
Believe it or not
Oh, you can't comprehend
What I have made but try to find out
What I've meant
Tribunal, tribunal
Oh, not me
Mighty fools make the rules
Don't try to get rid of me
Robbery, robbery
Is mentality
Machinery, machinery
Building lies, but read the truth
Between the line...
I have a strange dream
I cannot explain
And when I'll lay down
It will come back again
In a mysterious landscape
Far beyond my belief
In a shape that I can't face
I have found the real me
I have the one desire, it sets my soul afire
There's something waiting in the deep
Beyond the wall of sleep
And this something had hurt me
It will pay for my pain
When my destiny's fulfilled
I won't come back...

Wake the morning, time to go
I think I have to leave
In my shady, grey and dusty dress
I'll never make my way

The clouds have prepared for rain and storm.
The chill of the wind has frozen all the pain.
I know in my room it's dry and warm.
but I cannot stand to scan the walls in vain.

I reach out but you're not there.
In the days of december
I'm lonely ever since you're gone.

No one knows the natural powers
They're astonished, they're afraid
Pushing forwards technology
They forgot just who they are
Once contented with fulfillment
Now they cannot get enough
The time has come to harvest what they're sown
There's no way forward, progress cannot grow
And they will see that they have failed
Deadly error
They fight against their own achievements
They fear what they once ...

He drove a Mercerdes-Benz

He has always been a warrior
Never he had money or a job

Hey, what have they done to you?
Say, do you mean what you do?
Just like a spark that fell aside, or what -

Eyes like a knife
And she makes you want to fly

Burns like fire

When it breaks into the mind

In the absence of light, deep in the night

Have to face the enemy, it's gotta be

Oh, can't you tell me what makes me fell this way?
It's overwhelming, obscuring all my days.

The change of season, it undermines my core.
A constant darkness coating me,

Excuse me for the things I've said,
if I could change it I'd be glad,
it is just, it drives me to desperation,

Thinking on my yesterdays,
I have failed in many ways,
but I won't complain, 'cause I
had my share when luck passed by.
Then you came into my life
and became my biggest pride.
I thought the cards had turned for me,
oh, if I knew.
And then, when this fatal moment came to be
I couldn't turn the steering wheel around...
Once I feel in love ...
There's a new kind of love, you're longing for
And I will be there, waiting at your door
This is all where you want to be, want to be
At the end of eternity
Now the time comes when all connects to one
And a bridge will be built from dark to sun
At the dawn of the century, come with me
It's the end of eternity
And there is so much more to give
And there is so much more to live

Oh, when I get free
I'm gonna hand'em high
Hatred
Oh, baby, it's too unfair
The whole thing's such a mess
Would someone keep the door locked up
When the house is falling in?
The time is coming
I don't want no more

Lyrics by P. Wagner
On a dusty winding road, luck is not for free.
If you did like you were told, you will never see.
Just give me your heartblood...
Can it be a sin to speak in the tongue of freedom?
You will only win if you try the best to be you.
Just give me your heartblood...
Warfare in a sick society.
Out there give it all or leave it be...

She's a magician, she's got second sight
sends her mind wandering into the night,
into the future - stories untold
tragedies and accidents - she always knows

So, now my time has come.
I will be dead and gone

It is my destiny,

A never ending memory,
a life before my eyes.
Whatever comes, whatever's been,
my pocket full of lies.
Like an arrow in the air,

Here I am, still I try to find out where I'm really now.
What has been, I have laid it down, forgotten on a shelf.

There's never enough to take when you're running away from emptiness.
My days seem like wasted, I'm incomplete.
I'm grieving, believe in the change in me.

They lowered my body in a dark hole.

I stood at their side and watched them crying.
They can't know, their tears, they are in vain.

I can see, I can hear, I can be, be forevermore...

There has got to be a better way

And did they teach you love?
Yes, they did but poor and hidden.
And did they teach you death?
Yes, they did but just a part of it.
What does that mean, a part of it?
It means that they taught us how to kill
They taught it and they practised it
They never told us how to die
Death's place in life and how to face it,
See how sad they end their lives...
And if I ask these...
Say - to where do we belong

Weird, 'cause I don't want to see
the abyss of my possibilities.
Scared I can't look away.
It has come to my side.

I'm the king of the world
All money, all power, all godlike
And everything you rely on
Hey, you think you are safe this way
But now I'm going to change the rules
You gave it all in my hands
Your days, they will be counted soon
What goes around that will come around
You will have to take what's to come
Raise your head, it is time to burn
You'll set this world on fire

They run the endless debate
Who's right and who is wrong
In their eyes we've all failed in life
Old men in silk and diamonds
Decide who's right to kill
A soldier with god; not so his wife
It's just another way to multiply their power
They need a reason to survive
Seven deadly sins
Just give them fear of hell, obey the ivory tower
If they all want to stay alive
Seven deadly sins - seven deadly ...

Something?s happened to myself, I could never give the answer
though I did my best to find it out.
If you?d ask me where I?ve been the last few years I could not
tell you. Pieces of dreams mix with memories about.
Something?s slipped into my body while my mind has been absent
in a nameless time, somehow I know, I know, I know it well...

Now, as there's the time for changes
The growing fear and hate,
It will cost you your head, dictator
Grown from the heart
Bursting out to break the silence

Oh, you know it's up to you
So many years - it's much too long that you have fooled

All the years we joined our lives
We did never regret
Our decisions and the way
That we kept our heads

In my hour of pain
I awoke the rudest way
My belief was in vain
In you, as I tell you weren't there
Didn't catch my fall, oh no

Wrath is burning in my mind
Why can't you take it back
No excuses, no regrets

How many men have been killed 'cause of religion?
For example Iran and Irak, this war is going on
For more than a decade.

Kill themselves for the geed of might
That their leaders covered real clever
With the name of a god

This is sinister thinking
Fanatics

It was like a mirror in a pair of distant eyes

It was the year of madness and insanity.
There was no other cure for my disease
The overdose - I took it Rcause I had to flee,

You've got a right to take what life offers you

You better break out from all what chained you up

The inner search needs more than words
Just hear the call for the inner search
You can hear a lot, but to understand
let the confusing voices die first
blow the flickering light out...
I've never believed in miracles, I rarely even cried
But you never know the day when things will change
You came to me and gave me back what I have left unpaid
And to see myself, it felt so very strange

Is telling me what I've become alive and that is why
The mirror never lies there's pain inside your eyes

Assassins with blessings from their gods
No mercy, they try to set this world on fire
They think that they have a right to kill

We forgot we're one, never spoke in one voice
Now we're here
It's the war of worlds
And we're all...

The agony is written in your eyes.
