How long have you been free
In this world of hate and greed
Is it black or is it white
Let's find another compromise
and our future standing still
We're dancing in the spotlight
Where is the leader who leads me
I'm still waiting
Leaving home
And god is on your side
Dividing sparrows from the nightingales
Watching all the time
Dividing water from the burning fire, inside
Leave a light on in the night for me
That I can find you
Remember when we both where young and reckless and so curious
Now you're hiding from your child
A new day's dawning
Remember that you felt alive sometimes
And God is on your side
Dividing cruelty from tenderness
Watching all the time
Dividing fiction from reality
Move in circles, walk on lines
No human being in sight
Calm the winds and calm the seas
Let's try another kind of peace
Who fights this holy civil war
A million men in uniform
Wo ist der Führer der mich führt
Ich warte immer noch
Leaving home
And God is on your side
Dividing presence from the history
Watching all the time
Dividing deaf men from the listening ones
And God is on your side
Dividing soldiers from the fishermen
Watching all the time
Dividing warships from the ferryboats

I remember every day
Every year that pass the way
All the plans and all mistakes we made
She was unhappy
Many wishes unfulfilled
So far I can understand
Life seems always much too hard to stand
If I could take a look into
Your heart
I wish you my pain
Wholeheartedly
I knew it from the start
It's thunder in her heart
It's burning strong
She can't control it
Burning deep inside
Infecting her mind
Have you ever thought of me
Turn around, let life go on
Sixteen weeks since you were gone
Made me lose before I could have won
Look in my face
Just reflections of yourself
Disappointment
Best of hatred
Best of hatred
Wholeheartedly

Clumsy, always quivering
Always searching for your thingg
You don't work, but you cannot find a rest
'Cause you gave up too soon
Old man sitting in your trap
Two lovers passing by
Don't be ashamed, don't be upset,
Enjoy it, dear ... 'cause once you did the same
It's not too late ... to charm away your ancient fears
It's not too late ... to be wild for roundabouts ... to be
Wild for life ...
Old man lying in your bed
Your friends are passing by
It's just a rule, kissing you goodbye,
Enjoy it, dear ... 'cause once you did the same
I came across a feww old things
Remembering the past
"Spare the rod and spoil the child ...
There's no fool like an old fool!"
It's not too late ... to start again
It's not too late ... to charm away your ancient fears
It's not too late ... to be wild for roundabouts ... to be
Wild for life ...

And you're sitting in your room
Enjoying entertainment
And you're watching tv
Colours bright and so enchanting
You couldn't be near her
Wouldn't hear what annie says
When annie's sad
You couldn't be near her
Wouldn't hear what annie says
And your waiting for your daily thrill impatiently ...
To collect it for your private horror show
And you're watching moving shadows live instead of you ... and you ...
You don't know that annie's living next to you
Jesus christ we love you so
Since we saw your tv-show
Suicidal tendencies, but no will to interfere
Feel it coming over you ... indifference ... indifference ...
Choosing channels watching news
Ignoring annie's point of view
You couldn't be near her
Wouldn't hear what annie says
When annie's sad
You couldn't be near her
Wouldn't hear what annie says
You couldn't be near her
Wouldn't hear when annie laughs ... when annie laughs
You couldn't be hear her
Wouldn't feel that annie ... annie ... annie loves

Ich seh' dich und ich glaube
's ist ein Ton... nie gehört!
Hör' den Schlag meines Herzens
Kiss the wall... ohne Schmerz
Sieh' diesen Mann... ganz allein
Will keine Hilfe, weil's ihn schmerzt
Zeit zu gehen, Zeit zu hungern
's ist noch Zeit für'n letztes Wort...
(6x)
Wie ein Hammerschlag an die Wand gespuckt
Wie ein Riss in mir
's ist wie ganz weit weg
Du gehst... du gehst... du gehst... du gehst
. . .

Sometimes I can't fall asleep
You lie beside me and I weep
Dancing shadows on the wall
Once you caught me ... now I fall
Sometimes I feel love and trust
Turn to anger and disgust
Crawling darkness in between
No light in reach ... no silver sheen
Sometimes I feel so ashamed
To be mercilessly framed
Idle hands and eyes that stare
But no escape that I would dare
... love and trust
... anger and disgust
Crawling darkness in between
No light in reach ... no silver sheen
... so ashamed
... mercilessly framed
Idle hands and eyes that stare
But no escape that I would dare
Pain increasing every day
No truth left I won't betray
One day our way leads to an end
Why do I cry ... I understand
That it's too late for me to go
I should have left you years ago
Beyond this point of no return
Hatred's flame will ever burn
... every day
... I won't betray
One day our way leads to an end
Why do I cry ... I understand
... too late for me to go
I should have left you years ago
Beyond this point of no return
Hatred's flame will ever burn
Dancing shadows on the wall
Once you caught me ... now I fall
Crawling darkness in between
No light in reach ... no silver sheen

Here I am
Darkest night
is masking the cold
that embraces me
Can't you see
truth means fear
Your lying breath
never will resist
Alone I sit here waiting
Watching the world
in it's agony
Because I have seen
my future
my crying face
No cure I'm longing for
And no healer
heals the evil
I sought truth for you
condemned to fail
For you, for you
I'm bleeding
And every new dawn
ends in bitterness ...
. . .

Hear my voice
It's telling stories
Telling just the truth
about some men
who don't excuse
only praying for you
It must be a starving man
who likes to hear
these crippled minds talk
greetings from me
following the wind
I don't want to forget ...
... to regret
... to remember all the time
... everything
... all these years
Hear my voice
It's telling stories
Telling just the truth
about the innocent Elias
lying next to you
Innocent Elias
Blood red messiahs
Never coming home
Greetings from me
following the wind
. . .

... no jealousies
silly thing ... you can't know how I feel
Come take my hand I will show you the flame
burning secrets, burning wishes ... your name
Don't be insecure, don't be afraid ... I'll hold you tight
Oh, virgin weakness, infinite sweetness ... that's you
so let's dance ... all alone
I want to kiss you, want to feel you ... deep
your silky skin, a tender touch,
a sign that promises so much
I want to kiss you, want to feel you so deep
and so we dance
Nothing ever spoils, my joy of loving you
of looking in your eyes, I couldn't be that blind
that I won't crave for you
and we still dance ... all alone
I want to kiss you ...

The watery light that mirrors in your desirable eyes
The way you move your lips
While talking to somebody else
I move a little closer just to hear what you say
You speak of loneliness but here's a soul adoring you
It's a wounded heart
It breaks in two
And in it's pain
It sings for you
It's a wounded heart
That feels afraid
Moves closer still
Fulfills its fate
Your freedom's poverty that you do not recognize
The way you stalk the night
While talking to somebody else
I move a little closer just to know who you are
A slightly glowing ember I'm the breeze igniting you
Your smile incredibly sweet
That's what I cannot bear
I seek the friendly water
Anything to sooth my desire
You're moving out of my night
And there will be no dawn
All that could have been
Remains with me internally lost
. . .

I'm dreaming, I'm screaming
but making no sound
I'm the nightmare from upstairs
and I'm coming down
from silence to violence
in a single step
try to leave or retrieve
what i can't forget
i can see what I'll be
when I'm going on
i can't heal it, can't feel it
if I'm doing wrong
it's burning, it's yearning,
it's spinning around
let it shout, tear it out, save me
from this unholy being...
. . .

i said goodbye to the river...
the mountains and the trees
can't you hear they are singing
their song of birth and agony
i said goodbye to the seasons that were never insincere
by myself i am singing their song
that no one wants to hear
many words, many dreams i've got to give
but in this racing world there is no place for me
and if i leave today no memories remain...
. . .

silence slowly comes to me...
embraces me so tight to keep me cold...
a thought that's drifting through my mind...
struggles to be free and wails alone...
embraces me... so tight...
struggles to... be free...
we turn to stone!
we don't find home!
can you hear this broken whisper?
can you hear it how it calls?
we turn to stone!
we don't find home!

Ist dies noch mein Gesicht?
Ich hör' meine Stimme nicht!
Ich habe Angst zu sehen,
Dies konnte alles vergehen.
Mein Herz es rast so schnell
Dieser Schmerz so grell
Welch' gro'er Sternenheld
Dessen Wort zu Staub zerfallt!
Ich hab' den Tod der Sonnen gesehen!
Sie waren von Rot so heiß...
So wunderschön!
Deep-Space-Overdose
Frei und zügellos
Deep-Space-Overdose
Verloren rettungslos
Ist dies der dumpfe Klang,
Mit dem die Zeit begann?
Ich habe Angst zu sehen
Sie konnte nie vergehen!
Die Welt ein Schattenbild
Verlangen ungestillt.
Ein blinder Menschentraum
Verloren in Licht und Raum.
Ich hab den Tod der Sonnen gesehen!
Sie waren von blau so kalt....
So wunderschön!
Deep-Space-Overdose
Tief und grenzenlos
Deep-Space-Overdose
Alt und ruhelos

From the moment you wake up
You cannot feel free
There are so many things in this world
You can't see
Just don't keep on leaving
Your dreams behind
Have a heart to see you'll get
Trapped in your mind
It's like an impurity in your mind
Furtive ruin that
Hails from behind
Get rid of the demon
That darkens your sun
Go on... go on...
Leave no deed undone!
You don't really depend
On material plight
And the way you live...
It is simply not right
You just have to get rid
Of your own demands
Fight against yourself
For a second chance
No escape
Every further step you'll ever make
Will drive you on to me
And i will set you free
Sometimes it's so easy
Just to be scared
No-one promised
Your life would be fair
There's always a reason for you to run
Away... with me... leave no deed undone
. . .

Spuren im Schnee führen an dir vorüber
Frostklare Winde im Mondenschein
Endlose Stunden voll gläsernem Schweigen
Wachst Du beharrlich in tiefer Nacht
Bricht dann die Stille
Zerfließt ein verschlafenes, karges Verlangen
Leise verweht sich der Nebel
Endlich voller Licht die Welt
Tiefgrüne Wiesen, schattenkühle Wälder
Blühen in der Gunst des Sonnenspiels
Reifende Ähren in wiegendem Tanze
Flüstern ihre Weisen dem Wind zu
Bricht dann die Stille
Neuerlich hernieder, mit diesigem Hauche...
Leise erhebt sich der Nebel
Schließlich tritt die Nacht in die Welt
Wieder sind da Spuren
Im Schnee bei den Bäumen
Der Mond steht alleine
In kalter Nacht
Es ist eine Stille
Ganz tiefe Ruhe
Allmächtiges Schlafen
Leise verliert sich das Leben
Wartet auf den neuen Tag
. . .

you painted up your lips
and rolled and curled your tinted hair
ruby are you contemplating
going out somewhere
the shadow on the wall tells me the sun ist going down
oh ruby, don't take your love to town
it wasn't me who started
that old crazy asian war
but I was proud to go
and do my patriotic chore
and ... yes it's true, that I'm not the man I used to be
oh ruby, I still need some company
it's hard to love a man whose legs
are bent and paralyzed
and the wants and the needs
of a woman your age ... ruby I realize
but it won't be long
I've heard them say until I'm not around
oh ruby, don't take your love to town
she's leaving now
'cause I just heard the slamming of the door
the way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before
and if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground
oh ruby, don't take your love to town
oh ruby, for god's sake ... turn around
. . .

Walking through winter, through snow-white fields
Colder than cold... for several weeks
And the lost fire's burning miles away
And the wind whispers stories in her ears
And she's asking: "do you hear these heavenly voices?
Do you hear the preacher who wants you to pray?"
And this night so much colder than every night
And she says, she likes winter and winter-trees
And the sun seens so far away tonight
In the dark and deep, frozen water the light
Of the moon under which she dies
O the moon under which we cry
...death knocking at the door... I must let him in...
Life like a river flows... outside... stay alive!
Ten-thousand good reasons to survive...
And she's asking: "do you hear these heavenly voices?
Do you hear the preacher who wants you to pray?"
Walking through winter, through snow-white fields
Colder than cold... for several weeks
And the lost fire's burning miles away
And the wind whispers stories in her ears
Stay alive! ...my dear... I kiss your cold hands...
First time... please stay alive... I'm loving you... you're
Loving me... imagine that you were at home...
This night... please try it!
Don't leave me alone!
