• One world

  • Lyrics

    One world

    What would you do
    If someone destroys your world?
    What would you do
    If someone will run you down?

    Why won’t you understand
    This is not your land?
    Why won’t you understand
    There’s only one world?

    What would you do
    If someone will kick you?
    What would you do
    If they beat someone worthy?

    Why won’t you understand
    This is not your land?
    Why won’t you understand
    There’s only one world?

• Faces

  • Lyrics

    Faces

    Smiling faces all around
    Many lies are in your eyes
    Laughing face often don’t
    Tell the truth that you can’t see
    Look into these faces
    And find the fears they’ll never show
    Sadness needs a kind of smile
    I wonder why they act this way

    I would never know
    What games you’re playing now
    But it is not true
    Easy to see through
    I have seen through you

    Read expressions and you’ll find
    Faces tell you more than words
    Sometimes people try to hide
    Behind a mask that you will see
    I look into your faces
    And find the fears you’d never show
    Falseness needs a kind of smile
    I wonder why you act this way

    You have never cared
    Why I was so scared
    I just never cried
    All the times you lied
    I was weak and low
    Never let it show
    Too late!
    Let it be begging me

• Cold

  • Lyrics

    Cold

    Yearning for love
    And the touch of your hand
    Yearning for truth
    And the light in your eyes

    Yearning for daily songs
    Love and affection without words
    We need our sympathy
    Life is much colder these days
    Yearning for daily sun
    We have to talk to each other
    I want to stroke your hair
    That’s all we need these days
    It’s so cold

    Yearning for love
    Daily embraces are so essential
    Yearning for life
    What is life without warmth

• Talk

  • Lyrics

    Talk

    It’s alright now
    When you talk to me
    It’s alright now
    When I talk to you
    Talking blah blah
    Women’s talk
    It’s alright now
    When you talk to me
    It’s alright now
    When I talk to you
    What’s the weather like
    It’s a nice weather
    People talk

• The doubt

  • Lyrics

    The doubt

    When your hopes are breaking down
    And your heart is aching
    When I find the silence in your eyes
    And the night is crying

    Why to see, that it’s real?
    Why to know how to grow?
    Your life grows

    It seems your dream breaks down
    Your expectations were to high
    Life seems to be your enemy
    But think ahead, there’s so much to see

    Doubts are falling from above
    And your heart is breaking
    When I find the questions in your eyes
    And you hate the answers

    Why to see, that it’s real?
    Why to know how to grow?
    Can’t you see that it’s real?
    Don’t you know how to grow?
    Your life grows

    When your hopes are breaking down
    And your doubts will pass you
    When you need someone to hold you
    You can take my hand

• Silent night

  • Lyrics

    Silent night

    Dark silent night
    Cold secret world
    I need a light
    To find my way

    Where is my joy?
    Where is my hope?
    Give me your warmth
    To save me from the night

    Where is my dream?
    Give me back my dream
    Cold secret world
    I’ll find my way
    From your heart

• Leave me

  • Lyrics

    Leave me

    You are wasting time with me
    Please get stuffed and let me free
    You have only hate above
    You destroy the things you love

    Now!
    Come on, leave me now!
    Try to find out how
    Hurry up and leave me, right now
    Please!
    Come on, leave me now
    I feel like throwing up
    So kiss my ass, good bye
    Leave me!
    You had plans to break me down
    Tried it with an angry frown
    Now I’m fed up with your lies
    Play your games with other guys

• The sign

  • Lyrics

    The sign

    Feel the sign
    In the night
    Comes the pain
    Without noise

    Feel the sign
    Silent in the night
    Feel the sign
    Hear the silent cry
    Hands are cold
    Something’s in the air
    Tears of fear
    Death is here

    Feel the sign
    Silent in the night
    Feel the sign
    Hear the silent cry

• Dreamer's dream

  • Lyrics

    Dreamer’s dream

    Dreamer’s dream
    Makes no sense
    Be afraid
    Of the end

    You have seen this place a thousand times before
    They’d never get it out of mind
    And it makes you hopeful and it gives you life
    They wouldn’t say you lie again

    Leave this world
    Free from chains
    Your escape
    From the end

    Now they wonder how to reach you in this place
    You’ve never been afraid for this
    Soon we’ll be together laughing at their fears
    They never cared about their lives

    There’s no reason to repress the truth
    Everybody has to face it
    There’s no real escape
    It’s just a question of time

    And when they start to die
    Have no idea why

    Leave this world
    Free from chains
    Your escape
    Makes no sense

    You have seen this place a thousand times before
    They’d never get it out of mind
    Soon we’ll be together laughing at their fears
    They wouldn’t say you lie again

    And when they start to die
    Have no idea why

• Insane

  • Lyrics

    Insane

    Night above
    In time my mind’ll escape
    More than pain
    They’re driving me insane
    Night above
    They can break your dreams and make you sad
    They destroy your fears and make you mad
    They come over you
    Like rats around your head
    Broken bottles in your bed
    When your light is on
    Beating hearts
    The crime is far enough
    Breaking down
    I’m bleeding for myself
    Beating hearts

• For love

  • Lyrics

    For love

    He will lie
    He must cry
    He would die
    For love
    He will stay
    He must pay
    He would pray
    For love

    Give me your hand
    I’m afraid for you
    Open your eyes
    You will always fail
    Be a fool
    Break your rule
    You’re so cool
    With your painful lies

    He would fight
    With his might
    Accept his plight
    For love
    He will dream
    He would scream
    Must be mean
    For love

• For ever

  • Lyrics

    For ever

    We were sure
    That life is full of surprises
    Now, you’ve gone too soon
    So I must find them on my own
    We were sure
    That life could be for ever
    Now, that you have gone
    There’s just a memory
    But in my heart
    There’s something left for ever
    I’m crying
    For you

• Wish (save my soul)

  • Lyrics

    Wish (save my soul)

    Save my soul
    Help me now
    Come to me
    Wake me up
    To be free

    Such a long time
    Since they spoke to each other
    Such a long time
    So many tears to cry

• Nightthoughts

  • Lyrics

    Nightthoughts

    Night will come
    Dreams are on their way
    The old fears
    I’m on the run
    A million eyes are watching
    But I gave in

    So late
    Should be sleeping
    In my thoughts
    Trying to run away
    I have almost lost you
    Take away my fears!
