EDGUY Lyrics
Hellfire Club
(2004)
1. Mysteria
[Music: Tobias Sammet/Jens Ludwig, Words: Tobias Sammet]
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Freakshow
Oh yeah...
The world around is killing me
No thunder win and rain
Eel are crawling everywhere
Compounding with the game
Grind the army, the living dead, without destination
The faceless crowd is out to kill all kinds of variations
You're trying to trample down my dreams
A shot in the dark
Mysteria - the spirit arising
Eldritch cries form the hill
Mysteria - fires are blazing
Their wicked feast is shattering the still oh
Seven days and nights a week
Spinning like a wheel
You try to buckle, bend and break
And polish stainless steel
Raging fury in the sky burning with desire
Self-determination rising from the fire
You're trying to trample down my dreams
My disdained ideals
Beware of the difference
You've savage and mean - we're a
Mysteria - the spirit arising
Eldritch cries form the hill
Mysteria - fires are blazing
Their wicked feast is shattering the still oh
Evil is the dreamer to pit himself
Against the forces of the tide
You pay the seer to portray
What you wanna hear what he has seen that night
Oh - unholy is the feast
Watch un dance around the blazing hellfire
And Lucifer arises he appears at my desire
Mysteria - the spirit arising
Eldritch cries form the hill
Mysteria - fires are blazing
Their wicked feast is shattering the still oh
2. The Piper Never Dies
[Music & Words: Tobias Sammet]
Oh yeah!
Thirsting for salvation
You're off to find the stairway
Novice on you never ending ride
Whatever you may find dare to take it higher
Here's you instigation on your trip into the light
Standing at the temple
Where the wizard shall arise
You listen to the beauty of a song
A melody of promise calling from the dark
Tear down the portal and then go on and
Come and fly away with me
And you eyes are gonna see it all
And sleep with the fire - do you feel with me
Go obtain divinity, be the one you wanna be
And don't be afraid to give in
A ride into the shadows
The piper never dies, never dies
Ride into the shadows
The piper never dies, never dies
Entities are screaming, enticing from inside
Creatures you had never ever seen
And on the back of haughtiness
You leave into the light
The spirit on a mission in the shell of a beast
The ferryman is gentle
And promises are made
The other side may hold a lot to see
He's gonna take you over
And then he'll name the fare
Oh you gamble with the devil, fool
The ferryman is me
Come and fly away with me
And you eyes are gonna see it all
And sleep with the fire - do you feel with me
Go obtain divinity, be the one you wanna be
And don't be afraid to give in
A ride into the shadows
The piper never dies, never dies
Ride into the shadows
The piper never dies, never dies
Balance on the edge of day an night
Not afraid of falling
Time has come to see all wrong from right
Something's calling
Heaven and hell is it all the same
And just a different grade
Now I gotta know the point of change
Where love turns to hate
Balance on the edge of day and night
Dive into haze and kiss the light
Many of the tales you've been told
Never written for the brave an bold
Come and take my hand tonight
Come and sleep with me tonight
Certainly I'm gonna take you there
Showing you around everywhere
Oh...
Do you believe that you're devil-may-care
As you jump into the fire
Do you believe that you're devil-may-care
As you jump into the fire
Dreamer, dreamer, dreamer...
A ride into the shadows
The piper never dies, never dies
Ride into the shadows
The piper never dies, never dies
Ride into the shadows
The piper never dies, never dies
Ride into the shadows
The piper never dies, never dies
You go on - into the night
Alright, the piper never dies, I got you hypnotised
Come with me and witness, see Babylon arise
The whore in fading light, let us step inside
I got you paralyzed child, the piper never dies
The pied piper play the song, beautiful but strong
He was never born, never he'll be gone
Oh the pied piper never dies
He never dies, never dies...
3. We Don't Need A Hero
[Music & Words: Tobias Sammet]
When you wake up in the fire
And you harbour lies in ruins
You wonder why the giant has been shot
Fired off down from sky
You plead for explanation
Is it accident or rule
And where is you childhood hero
To drive all the demons away
What if the light
Shines in darkness my friend
And darkness just can't comprehend
So blaze the trail on you own
Go it alone
We are falling - falling to rise
Pain is the guide out of the wastelands
We don't need a hero
We are falling - falling to rise
No charlatan to show you the light
We don't need a hero
Indignity is the leader
To escort us to the fen
Where they say the light is endemic
If only I could comprehend
Now you're old enough to face it
Rabble's stones give pain
Hit you as they watch you tracks
Apart from the way that they understand
What if the light
Shines in darkness my friend
And darkness just can't comprehend
So blaze the trail on you own
Go it alone
We are falling - falling to rise
Pain is the guide out of the wastelands
We don't need a hero
We are falling - falling to rise
No charlatan to show you the light
We don't need a hero
We are falling to rise
We are falling - falling to rise
Pain is the guide out of the wastelands
We don't need a hero
We are falling - falling to rise
No charlatan to show you the light
We don't need a hero
Oh we don't need a hero
No we don't need a hero
4. Down To The Devil
[Music & Words: Tobias Sammet]
Roaming the plains
Where a number is your name
In a palace
And you'll never fin the door
Oh look into the mirror
Is it what you wanna see
Or just a cuddy toy
The vogue has washed the ashore
No I don't care what you say
Into the darkness I plough my way
I'm striking out for paradise
To be the one I am
We're going down to the devil
We are striking out for paradise
To bedlam below - down to the devil
The mad parade is coming home
Can't you hear the sound
As they make the hammer pound
Rusty nails into a coffin of you size
To bury you alive
You mature until you're ripe
Then they reap you
When you're beautiful enough
In their eyes
They lurk to wall in your belief
Put up glass ceilings that you can't see
To break down the freak
They don't you to be
We're going down to the devil
We are striking out for paradise
To bedlam below - down to the devil
The mad parade is coming home
Oh we're going down
Here's your invitation, your instigation
Your damnation to the hellfire club
5. King Of Fools
[Music & Words: Tobias Sammet]
What do you think when you spit in my face
How does if feel to accuse and to haze
Now look at me, I'm not one of your kind
And I prefer to stay behind
And walk the wicked way
We don't wanna be like you
We don't get than king of fools
We don't mind your life is trite
You are the king of fools.
We are never gonna be like you
We don't follow - King of fools
You're the blind to lead the blind
And I walk the wicked way
You feel at ease as you flock with the masses
What do you see with your heads in their asses
Keep on railing at what I believe
Call me insane and I am proud to be
And walk the wicked way
We don't wanna be like you
Don't you get than king of fools
We don't mind your life is trite
You are the king of fools
We're not gonna be like you
We don't follow - King of fools
You are the blind to lead the blind - oh
6. Forever
[Music & Words: Tobias Sammet]
Sitting by the window
Staring out into the night
Waiting up for the light of day
And the sound of silence
The faintly flaring candle light
Parting has got me
Around to go insane
Alone I try to while away my time
Seconds turn to ages
As I close my eyes and wait
Sometimes I wonder
What's the reason why
We long for someone to embrace
And say hello to say goodbye
Carry on - and I will forever
Longing drives bad memories away
And still I carry on and I will forever
Cause when I see you smile
I dare to believe again
Is there anybody out there
To keep on looking for
If you don't know then lie to me
Blue eyed for a letdown
If this is what it takes
To maybe see the light
I'll dare to shed another tear
Oh I Know
The wind blows cold tonight
But anyhow I gotta go
Tell me girl where are you now
Carry on - and I will forever
Longing drives bad memories away
And still I carry on and I will forever
Cause when I see you smile
I dare to believe again
I tried to build a wall
And let nobody in
To be on my own
Without love and without pain
Without pain
I don't know why
But every time
I look into your face
Into your face
I am caught and I relapse again
Carry on, it's forever
Longing drives and memories away
Carry on - and I will forever
Longing drives bad memories away
And still I carry on and I will forever
Cause when I see you smile
I dare to believe again
7. Under The Moon
[Music: Tobias Sammet/Jens Ludwig, words: Tobias Sammet]
Now if you gaze up to the moon
See she's become as blood and soon
The time is right...
We gotta pave the way
You gather silk to weave the net
Entrap the strongest you can get
A soul that's ready to return again
See the purity shining from his eyes
A newborn angel
To help the chosen ones rise
Blood red prophet in the sky
We're standing under the moon
Came down with fire See the creature alive
Standing under the moon
Come down with fire
Down with fire
Down with fire
Good intentions raise a mind
A new messiah to judge the blind
Kill off the fools
Who bar my pure and holy plan
We lead creation by the nose
To bring divinity to those
Who know tonight a golden age begins
Divine is the spirit
Into a terrestrial shell
A savior of human blood
Lead us to somewhere
To heaven or hell
Blood red prophet in the sky
We're standing under the moon
Came down with fire See the creature alive
Standing under the moon
Come down with fire
Down with fire
Down with fire
8. Lavatory Love Machine
[Music & words: Tobias Sammet]
Oh if only Brazil was not so far
Far away I would swim or walk or ride
But never ever fly
But all the noise of the maniacs there
The seat on my face it's worth to bear
But I don't wanna bounce and die
But then I see a lady in a tight blue dress
I close my eyes, I know what I would go for
Stewardess before the crash
Lavatory love machine
No fear can quell my steam
Lavatory live machine
No cabin fire burn my dream
I'm at you disposal
I gotta get up to see what you ain't gotta hide
Wheeling junk along the aisle
Keep your seat belt fastened
You're whipping with an iron voice
You command
Uh mistress I am in your hands
And when she asks me what I'd like to eat
I realise the domina feels the same
And I reply... What about your pie?
Lavatory love machine
No fear can quell my steam
Lavatory live machine
No cabin fire burn my dream
Lavatory love machine
No broken wings to stop me stream
Lavatory love machine
Honey do you like the way I cream?!
Now if I gotta die
I'll have been stiff and smiling till the crash
Let them know I've been alive
Till I made my final splash
Lavatory love machine
No fear can quell my steam
Lavatory live machine
No cabin fire burn my dream
Don't hear those scary noises
From the turbine when you scream
9. Rise Of The Morning Glory
[Music & words: Tobias Sammet]
I see an angel, fed up and pale
You've been a sleeper
You have been getting state my friend
Time to leave the vale again
Back on the runaway you accelerate
Get out of the tight spot and fly
Take your chance tonight
I'll give you a ride tonight
And as the sun is gonna rise
I'm gonna make you come alive
You can fly, reach for the sky
It's the rise of the morning glory
Scream and shout, cry it out loud
We are coming back to life
Now open you eyes
Witness the rise
Rise of the morning glory
When you're the next to me
You're gonna see...
Woahoo...
Everyday they're wounding your pride
Try to break you
And make you let go
The dreams you once have had
They'll never understand
There is a bastion that won't ever fall
Our passion, our magic, our fire
Let them run us down
I couldn't care less about
There is no time to waste
You better quicken up you pace
You can fly, reach for the sky
It's the rise of the morning glory
Scream and shout, cry it out loud
We are coming back to life
Now open you eyes
Witness the rise
Rise of the morning glory
When you're the next to me
You're gonna see...
Woahoo...
10. Lucifer In Love
[Music: Tobias Sammet]
11. Navigator
[music: Tobias Sammet/Jens Ludwig, words: Tobias Sammet]
The desert in the blazing sun
I feel my throat is burning
The guard is incorruptible
You name it vanity and yearning - oh
Now - dusty wind into my face
We gotta build it higher and higher
The sun god whipping from above
Your child in chains of desire
And craving towers
From the desert towards the sky
The grind of the genius
Who's raising his own decline
And the navigator is heading for hell
Setting off on a journey
And he'll never return
And the navigator he rose and the fell
In quest for heaven
He'll never return
Hey the seeker reaching for the stars
Beyond the scope of profanity
Oh and when he tried to touch the light
Fire burned his sanity away
Oh I gotta see it all
Tempting deities I hear them
But then when you follow their call
Pride goes before the fall
And the navigator is heading for hell
Setting off on a journey
And he'll never return
And the navigator he rose and the fell
In quest for heaven
He'll never return
12. The Spirit Will Remain
[Music & words: Tobias Sammet]
A scent of rain
A healing breeze
Is blown into my face
To feel desire
And raise my head
To gaze at the sky
And watch the setting sun
Breaking through
The darkened clouds
And I feel that I
Am still alive an breathe
For all the world to see
You can bind my blood
But the spirit will remain
For all the world to see
No matter what you can claim
The spirit will remain
They wanna see me down
On my wounded knees
Wanna see me cry
But my eyes
Have run out of tears
When there's nothing left to pay
Just a little light of day
I got something
You can't take away
Fly away
Far away
Deep inside
Shelter for my spirit and my pride
For all the world to see
You can bind my blood
But the spirit will be free
Forevermore...
13. Children Of Steel
I've had some tears falling like rain
Hiding from nothing and no one
and still I’m feeling pain
feeling bitter pain
Bleeding for nothing, tortured to be kind
Liars and fear will be that you must
Leave behind - leave behind
I’m not gonna eat it I’m striking back
I’ll show you the way of my life
Raise your fucking fists and then: Attack
We will never gonna cry
We are back, we are back, we are back
Children Of Steel
We are back, we are back, we are back
We’re Children Of Steel
Tortured by teachers, eaten by the system
Chewed by those preachers, shot by the guns of society
Transforming to weapons I know you can tell
And if you don’t like us then we’re gonna go back to hell hahaha
We’re not gonna take it we’re striking back
We’ll show you our way of life
Raise your fucking fists and then attack
we will never wanna cry
We are back, we are back, we are back
Children Of Steel
We are back, we are back, we are back
We are Children Of Steel
Now can’t you hear us cry
Children of the night
United we channel the power
And we’ll be back to fight yeah
[Fiddle & Classic Solo: Ludwig]
I’m not gonna eat it I’m striking back
I’ll show you the way of my life
Raise your fucking fists and then: Attack
We will never gonna cry
We are back, we are back, we are back
Children Of Steel
We are back, we are back, we are back
Children Of Steel
We are back, we are back, we are back

You can fly, reach for the sky
It's the rise of the morning glory
Scream and shout, cry it out loud
We are coming back to life
Now open you eyes
Witness the rise
Rise of the morning glory
When you're the next to me
You're gonna see...
Woahoo...
10. Lucifer In Love
[Music: Tobias Sammet]
11. Navigator
[music: Tobias Sammet/Jens Ludwig, words: Tobias Sammet]
The desert in the blazing sun
I feel my throat is burning
The guard is incorruptible
You name it vanity and yearning - oh
Now - dusty wind into my face
We gotta build it higher and higher
The sun god whipping from above
Your child in chains of desire
And craving towers
From the desert towards the sky
The grind of the genius
Who's raising his own decline
And the navigator is heading for hell
Setting off on a journey
And he'll never return
And the navigator he rose and the fell
In quest for heaven
He'll never return
Hey the seeker reaching for the stars
Beyond the scope of profanity
Oh and when he tried to touch the light
Fire burned his sanity away
Oh I gotta see it all
Tempting deities I hear them
But then when you follow their call
Pride goes before the fall
And the navigator is heading for hell
Setting off on a journey
And he'll never return
And the navigator he rose and the fell
In quest for heaven
He'll never return
12. The Spirit Will Remain
[Music & words: Tobias Sammet]
A scent of rain
A healing breeze
Is blown into my face
To feel desire
And raise my head
To gaze at the sky
And watch the setting sun
Breaking through
The darkened clouds
And I feel that I
Am still alive an breathe
For all the world to see
You can bind my blood
But the spirit will remain
For all the world to see
No matter what you can claim
The spirit will remain
They wanna see me down
On my wounded knees
Wanna see me cry
But my eyes
Have run out of tears
When there's nothing left to pay
Just a little light of day
I got something
You can't take away
Fly away
Far away
Deep inside
Shelter for my spirit and my pride
For all the world to see
You can bind my blood
But the spirit will be free
Forevermore...
13. Children Of Steel
I've had some tears falling like rain
Hiding from nothing and no one
and still I’m feeling pain
feeling bitter pain
Bleeding for nothing, tortured to be kind
Liars and fear will be that you must
Leave behind - leave behind
I’m not gonna eat it I’m striking back
I’ll show you the way of my life
Raise your fucking fists and then: Attack
We will never gonna cry
We are back, we are back, we are back
Children Of Steel
We are back, we are back, we are back
We’re Children Of Steel
Tortured by teachers, eaten by the system
Chewed by those preachers, shot by the guns of society
Transforming to weapons I know you can tell
And if you don’t like us then we’re gonna go back to hell hahaha
We’re not gonna take it we’re striking back
We’ll show you our way of life
Raise your fucking fists and then attack
we will never wanna cry
We are back, we are back, we are back
Children Of Steel
We are back, we are back, we are back
We are Children Of Steel
Now can’t you hear us cry
Children of the night
United we channel the power
And we’ll be back to fight yeah
[Fiddle & Classic Solo: Ludwig]
I’m not gonna eat it I’m striking back
I’ll show you the way of my life
Raise your fucking fists and then: Attack
We will never gonna cry
We are back, we are back, we are back
Children Of Steel
We are back, we are back, we are back
Children Of Steel
We are back, we are back, we are back
Children Of Steel
We are back, we are back, we are back
We are Children Of Steel

EDGUY Lyrics
Mandrake
(2001)
1. Tears Of A Mandrake
[Music & Lyrics: Sammet]
Gaze at the leaving clairvoyant
Predicting invasions and pain
A child cansee through the stranger...
The Watcher's eye, the noble liar
It's time for the merchant and his help for sale...
Blades to cut wicked flesh
On a merchantman he counts his money
Then he sails away
The sea he'll cruise is blood and fire
Oh father I can't see a lane
They make you a pawn in the game
For we all are deaf, dumb and blind
After the storm when the magic has gone
Drown in the tears of a mandrake
Pawn in the game, invisible chains
Try to move, you'll feel as they graze
After the storm when the magic has gone
Drown in the tears of a mandrake
Fading away, the final decay
Try to move, break out from your chains
When you're off to the hall of the serpent
See the cynic who's counting his gold
While gun runners, priests and clairvoyants
Are dancing around the rising demon
You are taught to eat up all the crap they shit
Parading your nuts on a silver plate
Kill your brother by the blade they sell
For you don't unite
They reap your bondage sowing evil
There's no use to tell what I've seen
They know how to make you believe
Just what they want you to know
[repeat chorus/ solo: Jens/both/Jens/both]
Tears of a mandrake - yeah...
[solo: Jens/Both]
[repeat chorus]
Drown in the tears of the mandrake
Pawn in the game - Drown in the tears of a mandrake
2. Golden Dawn
[Music: Sammet & Ludwig / Lyrics: Sammet]
He was born into this world
Living love but he got hurt
And he sighed when he beheld
The bleeding lamb
Blood and tears drip on the ground
Dung the olives on the mount
Love is crucified, made way
For the greed of man
There's no way out of here
No we don't, don't wanna take it no more
No we don't, don't wanna wait forever
Golden dawn, a new age has begun
Golden dawn, in every single one
Don't you run away, don't say it's all too late
Start to ring in the age... The golden dawn
Killing brothers, sick ideals, TV-Show lie and reveal
Poor philistine reasons why to hate a man
It's so easy to give in, do your dirty trick and win
Join those lemmings to the shore and fly but then
Don't complain if you'll drown in the end
Kill to eat, when you're the final one
There's no one to compete
Then find the time to think of a...

3. Jerusalem
[Music: Sammet & Ludwig / Lyrics: Sammet]
Cold in the wind, starless the night
Rain pouring down when the last one arrives
So many stories telling of pain
Are told by the freaks they've been throwing away
Ride out, set off to the sea
Odd fellows, you and me
Sail on to a world far away
That might not exist, we must be insane
Torn and feathered
Put in the pillory my friend
Accused as a fool marching on
In quest for a place they don't know
To Jerusalem
The piper inside, can't you feel him calling
You don't be afraid of the horizon
To Jerusalem
Don't you give in to their fingers pointing
So don't be afraid, you won't crash at the horizon
The dwarf and the giant, children who stray
The dreamer who's walking far off their way
A jester cast out, he can't laugh anymore
Here comes the freakshow... Welcome on aboard
Torn and feathered
They'll never get what you say
Kill what they don't understand
Don't know and don't even try
[repeat chorus]
[solo: Both]
[repeat chorus]
4. All The Clowns
[Music & Lyrics: Sammet]
When you're walking down the empty road
Feel like creeping, crawling, cold and bare
And you're afraid of Mistery Scary-face
Don't turn around since you may find him there
A fire of hope has turned into smoke,
The child to a man
It's nothing but grey painting your way
And no one could ever tell...
Tell me why all the clowns have gone
Tell me where did they run
Just when I close my eyes I can see them arise
Fool tell me where did you go
Foll tell me why did you go away, all the clowns
On and on, tomorrow's yesterday
No more tears allowed, you'll stand your pain
The child inside will die for liberty
Hope you don't mind that they will nail a frame
A spark of a 'no'
Rebellion and hope
The fire of life
I don't mind if you blame
Don't feel ashamed
Still I know them well
[repeat chorus]
[solo: Both / Jens]
[repeat chorus]
Oh, all the clowns...
5. Nailed To The Wheel
[Music: Sammet & Ludwig / Lyrics: Sammet]
Good intentions pave the way of the human child
Heading for the fork as you walk the path of life
A spell cast from the hiding woods, don't you close your eyes
The snake is waiting anytime to penetrate your mind
Don't you hear voices whispering, incline to walk down
Don't you see the shadow on the wall, angel eyes... the one cast out to fall
Calling me to look up to the sky we follow but we never know oh why
A vision revealing a child down where I've sure never been
An angel who's touching the flame, oh the angel is me
Nailed, nailed to the wheel - Nailed, let the cut run deep
Nailed, nailed to the wheel - Nailed, I said go - let bleed! - Go, - let bleed!
[solo: Jens]
Feel it crawl, feel the magic coming over like a daze
Welcome as the poison for the cornered snake
Taste of sin, bitter sweet, never, never let us go
But never, never, never is a price we'd pay to grow
They call it original sin, some call it divine
The moment the evil appeared... the chance to decide
[repeat chorus]
From children in cradles to hangmen who smile
Lick up the blood from the blade of your knife
Walk the stairway, leading down, ride on fire, take the crown
Your mind could be strong but your flesh will be mine
He's offering those kingdoms, they all could be thine
Rising powers, tempting gold, but at what price would it be sold?
It's all up to you...
[solo: Jens]
[repeat chorus]
6. The Pharaoh
[Music & Lyrics: Sammet]
From the cradle of silence and of light
It took a birth in human blood - angels cry -
To the ages of violence and of hate
To explore the left hand path I came alive
Into my striding, the shell of a god in the cold
My soul is just hiding, my spirit haunting on to control
Flame of the Nile, fire in the darkness
To swallow the light
Behold the ghost of a god
God from the Nile, eternally roaming
To swallow the light
Behold the spirit of a pharaoh,
Pharaoh, pharaoh, no!
[solo: Jens]
To the world of spirits he's sailling on and on
Why magician don't you feel they broke the seal
Cyril's facing the tyrant everywhere
Far away from his grave, Seth is free
Roaming through ages
Begetting advice for your kings, yow...
Leading the stages
Of history that's bound to my strings, no, no, no...
[repeat chorus]
[solo: Jens]
Don't you see that it's coming, it's near
The wise man screamed in the noble chamber
Just a parrot in a rich man's cage
He's a jester on the count
The wise man died and the seance went on
And the red one reigned in the noble chamber
In dreams of a masterplan
For a billion parrots in a big cage
Afraid of the eyes that shine in the darkness
You don't realize, afraid in the haze
You point at the man that grins in your nightmare
And don't realize the mirror you gaze into
You don't wanna see the spirits behind sceneries
[solo: Jens]
I guide your away I make you stay alive
My servants taught you know how to survive
The way of light is food for your soul
But it's your belly that's taken control
No guiding light would shine anymore
It's just the red god replacing the core
He'll rise again to open up the gate
We have to learn for our future, our fate...
[solo: Both]
[repeat Chorus]
The ghost of a god...
Slave to the pyramid...
7. Wash Away The Poison
[Music & Lyrics: Sammet]
Here alone now I'm staring at the sea
Behind the far horizon
Is there a better place for me?
Afraid to drown, afraid to dive
Scared by fears and the hot sunlight, yeah
And I dance in the rain, dive in the pool of life
Wash away the poison
And I dance through this pain, my body in a starless night
To wash away the poison from my soul, turn it to gold
Between the devil and the deep sea
I don't know how to carry on
I only feel that inner force that's pushing me along
The tides of life bring clarity for my tumbling mind
I'll dive to see, set me free
[repeat chorus]
[solo: Both]

8. Fallen Angels
[Music & Lyrics: Sammet]
Sun going down, she opens her eyes
It's dark in the belfry and cold
Whispers of rain, wind in the sky
So long it's been all she's been told
Dream child, you're all alone
Roaming though the night
Scream child, lost and ashamed
For all the tears you cry
You're a child in sadness
A chessboard nightmare to go
Hear that silent symphony
Calling you up to the shore and you'll see us
As we sail away, moonstruck and astray
We're fallen angels
We're the scary tale to scare your mind away
From fallen angels
[solo: Both]
So many days wasted in haze
You're free, oh so free on their strings
Illusions of life, they say you can fly
They laugh and they cut off your wings
Night child, they give you steel
And make you believe that it's gold
Lies child, all that you're told
Is just what you shall know
When they 'know' we are evil
We're strangers
And danger and fire,
The dark and the light
We are eyes in the night
Lost souls' they curse
For we've found it inside - oh
[repeat chorus]
[solo: Jens]
Ohhh, yeah...
[solo: Jens/Both]
When they say you're a fossil
When their eyes nail you to the cross
Take their curse and join our way
Welcome my frien on the ship of the damned - oh
[repeat chorus]
9. Painting On The Wall
[Music & Lyrics: Sammet]
Strong on your feet, you were blinded
Building up a towar on shaking ground
Once in a world full of colors
Back to see just ruins there to be found
And now you're falling, crawling
Diggin in the broken remains
Of what had to be taken for strong
Slowly it's been fading away
Come into the painting on the wall
So the joker smiles
Come into the painting on the wall
No more crying
Illusions let you in from the rain
Follow Mr. Hopkins, get insane
Stories are told - wanna hear him
Talking from the picture to your head
Follow the call of a puppet
Led into a black room painted red
Where life is painless, brainless
You don't think of broken remains
Of what had to be taken for strong
Slowly it's been fading away
[repeat chorus]
[solo: Jens]
Look at the picture
Point at the child there on the floor
Realize that it's a looking glass
[repeat chorus]
10. Save Us Now
[Music & Lyrics: Sammet]
[solo: Shuttle-crash suite in F-Major, Marsian Traditional]
The sound of explosions, the children awake
The turn of the tide acts up, the ground it starts to quake
A pile of dented steel, in fear I realize
Behind the shuttle's windshield two evil shinig eyes
Highspeed alien drum bunny - Highspeed alien drum bunny
Handcuffed they take the stranded straight into their lab
Examine him, his DNA, what you give is what you will get
He takes his magic carrow, a bang and drums appear
He starts to play like thunder, mandkind flee to save your hearing
Highspeed alien drum bunny - Highspeed alien drum bunny
Save us now, somebody - Save us now, someone
From highspeed A.D.B.
Save us now, somebody - Save us now, someone
From highspeed A.D.B.
Bum Bum Bunny B., life is a drag I can tell
But let me count to four and then you play the roll of hell
One, two, one, two, three, four...
[hoplle-roll of hopple-hell bu the protagonist]
[solo: Both/Jens]
Highspeed alien drum bunny - Highspeed alien drum bunny
Hi fish, alien drum bunny - Hasi, alien drum bunny
[repeat chorus]
[Anonymous protagonist encouraging the cheering masses:]
This is alien drum bunnies' revenge - Resistance is futile!!!
11. The Devil And The Savant
When you cross the edge inside
reach out for the stranger
As you sign the deal tonight
Icarus's your only guide
See the haggard child of sun
To the tempting fires you run
Pass the gate and realize
Casting evil eyes
Down at your dark lab
you threw some tarot cards
Reading the fiery truth
alchemist you were right
the vision's alive
The devil and the savant
Gaze away
Far away
Alchemist you're free
inside of your prison
The devil and the savant
Take a light,
Getting sight of a revelation forced:
the chemical wedding day...
He appears at your desire
Does your bidding - always
Lights the candle in the dark
See the blood - oh - of us all
Think you force him to expose
All above and all below
You're never able to unveil
what you had to feel...
Taming your seraph but who is in control
You or the demon called curiosity, Mephistopheles...

One, two, one, two, three, four...
[hoplle-roll of hopple-hell bu the protagonist]
[solo: Both/Jens]
Highspeed alien drum bunny - Highspeed alien drum bunny
Hi fish, alien drum bunny - Hasi, alien drum bunny
[repeat chorus]
[Anonymous protagonist encouraging the cheering masses:]
This is alien drum bunnies' revenge - Resistance is futile!!!
11. The Devil And The Savant
When you cross the edge inside
reach out for the stranger
As you sign the deal tonight
Icarus's your only guide
See the haggard child of sun
To the tempting fires you run
Pass the gate and realize
Casting evil eyes
Down at your dark lab
you threw some tarot cards
Reading the fiery truth
alchemist you were right
the vision's alive
The devil and the savant
Gaze away
Far away
Alchemist you're free
inside of your prison
The devil and the savant
Take a light,
Getting sight of a revelation forced:
the chemical wedding day...
He appears at your desire
Does your bidding - always
Lights the candle in the dark
See the blood - oh - of us all
Think you force him to expose
All above and all below
You're never able to unveil
what you had to feel...
Taming your seraph but who is in control
You or the demon called curiosity, Mephistopheles...

EDGUY Lyrics
The Savage Poetry
(2000)
1. Hallowed
Sacred - standing full of pride
Spite on my mind, spite in my brain
Guiding me to fight
Enchained - you pray to be a slave
Rules without sense, no little sense
To dust you will decay
[Chorus]
Hallowed be my name
Hallowed be my name
God of creation
You beg for danmation
You think you can serve me in hate
Hallowed be my name
Hallowed be my name
God of creation
You beg for danmation
You think you can serve me in hate
Hatred - pushed into a war
Those who blaspheme
Don't join your way
Dying by your sword
Sacred - hallowed be my name
For "peace" you destroy
Lie and deny
A glorious crusade
[Chorus]
Hallowed be my name
Hallowed be my name
God of creation
You beg for danmation
You think you can serve me in hate
Hallowed be my name
Hallowed be my name
God of creation
You beg for danmation
You think you can serve me in hate
[Solo: Jens]
[Chorus]
Hallowed be my name
Hallowed be my name
God of creation
You beg for danmation
You think you can serve me in hate
Hallowed be my name
Hallowed be my name
God of creation
You beg for danmation
You think you can serve me in hate
2. Misguiding Your Life
A dawn on the run
Nowhere to hide
In a world of corruption
Insanity has won
I'm living in hate
And preaching destruction
I'm screaming "tonight"
My vengeance to fight
Has killed all morality
The cries of the toll
And madness control
And liberate my energy - axe to the wax
[Chorus]
Misguiding your life
You'll reach the empire of madness
I will be rife - driven by insanity or hate
Misguiding your life
You'll reach the empire of madness
I will be rife - driven by insanity or hate
Lunacy and rage
Rage in my head
Reign back to back
Come and be my slave
The beauty in your face
Will be fading to black
I'm screaming "tonight"
My vengeance to fight
Has killed all my morality
The cries of the toll
And madness control
And liberate my energy - axe to the wax
[Chorus]
Misguiding your life
You'll reach the empire of madness
I will be rife - driven by insanity or hate
Misguiding your life
You'll reach the empire of madness
I will be rife - driven by insanity
I misguide your life
[Solo: Jens & Dirk]
[Chorus]
Misguiding your life
You'll reach the empire of madness
I will be rife - driven by insanity or hate
Misguiding your life
You'll reach the empire of madness
I will be rife - driven by insanity or hate
3. Key To My Fate
Am I totally blind this time
As I'm dreaming the dreams that I fear
Some call it nightmare
And some call it life
What's the sense of existance here
And I think of the sadness
When I'm dreaming of leaving my pain
I don't get all the madness
But it drives me insane
[Chorus]
Now hear me cry
I'm in quest of the key to my fate
I might be nigh to the key
In the valley of hate - I don't know
Annihilation in my brain
What's the price that we will be to pay
When will you lift our poor little souls
Will you take us oh lord away
Oh when will we die
Why to suffer to stay upright
We are victims of our time
We have to fight till the end is in sight
[Chorus]
Now hear me cry
I'm in quest of the key to my fate
I might be nigh to the key
In the valley of hate - I don't know
[Solo: Jens/ Jens & Dirk/ Jens]
What's the reason to carry on
What's the reason to falll
After days of living hell
After we had to crawl
Are we totally blind this time
Can't you tell the nexus
Of freedom and pain
Desire and hate and even the holy one
[Chorus]
Now hear me cry
I'm in quest of the key to my fate
I might be nigh to the key
In the valley of hate
Now hear me cry
I'm in quest of the key to my fate
I might be nigh to the key
In the valley of hate
4. Sands Of Time
Seasons come and seasons go
Here I wait for something to be
Try to get as much as I can see
Hungry for life
But have you seen the sands of time
Every day is a moment in past
Every heartbeat a step to my last
I won't survive
Don't know what time is meant to be
If it's my friend or enemy
Or does it only run, run to set an end
Secrets of a crazy dream
Or just a bad reality
I don't know
Do you feel the sands of time
Running low to break the line
First we learn to fly
Then we learn to cry
Later in the evening we may die
Questions roaming through my brain
I'll be leaving into my grave
I'll be dead, hope my soul will be safe
For a time, hope forever
All the seasons will have been gone
Time will come that you will forget
My name and all the words that I said
My time will be over
Don't know what time is meant to be
If it's my friend or enemy
Or does it only run, run to set an end
Secrets of a crazy dream
Or just a bad reality
I don't know
Do you feel the sands of time
Running low to break the line
First we learn to fly
Then we learn to cry
Later in the evening we may die
Do you feel the sands of time
Running low to break the line
Do you feel the sands of time
Running low to break the line
First we learn to fly
Then we learn to cry
Later in the evening we may die
5. Sacred Hell
Ravens in the air - no one in the streets
Seems like the fiend has come back
Riding on fire - scarlet's the sky
Love's slownly starting to crack
Whiolash and torture
Envy is driving our hate
The whole world around
Is mad and confused
The end has begun
We're facing our fate
Staring through eyes of hate we kill
Are we controlled or is it our own will
Don't use for brain
Don't look for a reason
Don't feel ashame
While we put the blame on the demon
[Chorus]
Sacred hell - sacred hell
There's nothing but names on the wall
You can be free - you can face tomorrow
Sacred hell - sacred hell
Now the fiend must be back on our ball
Don't sow the sin - don't reap the sorrow
No lucid intervals
No good will to guide
Devil in disguise
End in damnation cause we only hide
Calling him to rise
Staring through eyes of hate we kill
Are we controlled or is it our own will
Don't use our brain
Don't look for a reason
Don't feel ashame
Don't put the blame on the demon
[Chorus]
Sacred hell - sacred hell
There is nothing but names on the wall
You can be free - you can face tomorrow
Sacred hell - sacred hell
Now the fiend must be back on our ball
Don't sow the sin - don't reap the sorrow
[Solo: Jens]
Staring through eyes of hate we kill
Are we controlled or I it our own will
Don't use our brain
Don't look for a reason
Don't feel ashame
While we put the blame on the demon
[Chorus]
Sacred hell - sacred hell
There is nothing but names on the wall
You can be free - you can face tomorrow
Sacred hell - sacred hell
Now the fiend must be back on our ball
Don't sow the sin - don't reap the sorrow
6. Eyes Of The Tyrant
In the eyes of this might domain
And its evil doctrines
Can't feel the trace of romance
But fears that grow
No one can stare into his nextone's eyes
We killed the poetry around
A long time ago
How many times have you given me rage
When your words were mendacious
And your laughter insane
How many times
Have you written lapoons
About my life and desire
About my pleasure and pain
I bare my fangs to you
Look at my face and you'll stare
Into my mind and you see
[Chorus]
Eyes of the tyrant
These are the eyes of the night
Back from the hades
Into the daylight - No
Kiling of all nights
Tell me what should I do
Should I die in glory
Should I raise my fist
The crime of my deeds
Is the frolic I need
I won't die on my knees
Gotta kill to resist
I bare my fangs to you
Look at my face and you'll stare
Into my mind and you see
[Chorus]
Eyes of the tyrant
These are the eyes of the night
Back from the Hades
Into the daylight - no
[Solo: Jens]
The chagrin of the damned
Cries the tears of romance
Lord of uprightness take me know
World of the sad
It't the world of the mad
My heart died so long ago
[Solo: Jens]
Yeah - we are eternal we are immortal
A trace of glory in our hands
Majestic and wild
We stand and we fight
[Solo: Jens]
Soon your blackened pride
Will be fading away
You'll realize
You'll have been walking astray
Never tame the wicked
I'm a tyrant tonight
Back from the hades into the light
[Solo: Jens & Dirk]
[Chorus]
Back from the hades into the
Eyes of the tyrant
These are the eyes of the night
7. Frozen Candle
Crying on the pyre
Feeling - oh - so strange
Once you took my mind to deteriorate
Told me that you like me
Atrocious and deterrent lies
Told me how it is to suffer hate
Celebrate my funeral
Vultures on my corpse
Ashes to ashes - me to hell
Want to bury me alive
But you've never known
You are too deaf to hear my forces yell
On your mind the creeping hate
You hold the link to seal my fate
I stare into the light
Fire burning brightly
Inquisitition in our time
But I gotta tell you what I am
[Chorus]
Burning - I am burning
Yeah - burning like a frozen candle
Burning - I am burning
Yeah - burning like a frozen candle
I can still remember you
Coming with the reaper
How you tried to unlock my door
Sleepless nights - evil dreams
Faces in the window
Voices that I've never heard before
On your mind the creeping hate
You hold the link to seal my fate
I stare into the light
Fire burning brightly
Inquisitition in our time
But I gotta tell you what I am
[Chorus]
Burning - I am burning
Yeah - burning like a frozen candle
Burning - I am burning
Yeah - burning like a frozen candle
[Solo: Jens]
[Chorus]
Burning - I am burning
Yeah - burning like a frozen candle
Burning - I am burning
Yeah - burning like a frozen candle
Burniing - I am burning
Yeah - burning like a frozen candle
Burning - I am burning
Yeah - burning like a frozen candle
8. Roses To No One
I'm feeling this time
As bad as never before
A bleeding wag is fading away
Once you needed me
For spending delight
But below the funny mask
There's a crying face
The way that I smile is the way that I cry
But you'll never realize
My reputation is the one of a fool
Now watch how poet dies
Hear his cries
[Chorus]
And I dedicate my roses to no one
Cause there is no mind to help me to see
The reason we need
A light for the lonesome
And no none to drink
The blood that I bleed
The poet inside - wasn't given a chance
So he had to live apart
And I realized - my best friend am I
And not those parasites
Who try to stare into my heart
The way that I feel is the way that I heal
My body and soul and my life
And I know you just think I'm a fool
Now watch how a poet flies, see me rise
[Chorus]
And I dedicate my roses to no one
Cause there is no mind to help to see
The reason we need
A light for the lonesome
And no one to drink
The blood that I bleed
[Solo: Jens]
[Chorus]
And I dedicate my roses to no one
Cause there's no mind to help me to see
The reason we need
A light for the lonesome
And no one to drink the blood that I bleed
And I dedicate my roses to no one
Cause there's no mind to help me to see
The reason we need
A light for the lonesome
And no one to drink the blood that I bleed
9. Power And Majesty
I'm a sacred king in a sacred kingdom
You know me just as a royality
Looking kind so you don't see
I'd like to steal your virginity
I was born to feign an angel
The evil knows just now to hide
I sold me soul to rise away
To build up powers you can't fight
So kind and noble till I wake the animal
[Chorus]
At night - we fly - we rise
We are power and majesty
At night - we fly - we rise
We are power and majesty
I'm a master of disguise
I hate to be your marionette
And I won't care if you'll be hanging
Shut... up - come in my bed
I'm a reckless animal
Spitting out a flood of lies
Till you know my perversity
Is to do it and do it and do it and die
Black suite and business,
Till I wake the animal
[Chorus]
At night - we fly - we rise
We are power and majesty
At night - we fly - we rise
We are power and majesty
Oh yeah
Rising high - higher and higher
Higher and higher we rise
[Solo: Jens]
[Chorus]
At night - we fly - we rise
We are power and majesty
At night - we fly - we rise
We are power and majesty
[Scenery: horny forester walks through a bavarian forest at the foot of a mountain while he bumps into little maria and little margot. Who are yodeling complacent coming back from picking berries successfully]
At night - we fly - we rise
We are power and majesty
At night - we fly - we rise
We are power and majesty

EDGUY Lyrics
Theater Of Salvation
(1999)
1. The Healing Vision
[music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet]
Lord of fate, I feel you deep inside my brain...
Is it really just a dream or the urge to survive?
(...and during an odyssey through the back of my mind a vision appeared to make
me realize who holds the key to my fate...)
2. Babylon
[music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet]
Yeah...
In a world of hate pollution
we can't breathe anymore.
We've to leave and this time you,
the pawn, have won.
On our quest for nowhere island
we set off to the sea.
You call surrender what we call
a calm before the storm...
Pounding thoughts of home they make me know:
"I will return! I don't live my life for you,
it's too short to get burned.
Stand upright and face the wind!"
Time to go back where I belong...
No one can prevend me from
raising towers in Babylon.
You only can love me if you can convert me
to attitudes of your brain.
You blame us for doing things
that you don't know.
You tell me what you'd do if you were me but you are you and I am I
Lucky you, but this time I say: "No!"
Pounding thoughts of home they make me know: "I will return!".
I don't want to hurt you but you'll have to learn:
You are you and I am I!!!
Ooohhh...
Oh yeah...
(...and like the vision of my urge to salvation told me,
I built up a tower to widen my horizon, whatever they might say...)
3. The Headless Game
[music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet]
Longing for silence...
"Always faster" is the way that we go.
Not a little patience...
Higher, farer, better we grow.
The beast is rising. It?s tantalizing
those who are taking the time.
Alienation... A revelation...
Straight to the end of the line...
Fly! Riding away... Rising today...
No we don't play your headless game!
We are alive, don't say goodbye.
Fly! Riding away... Rising today...
No we don't play your headless game!
We are alive, don?t say goodbye.
Cast out from Eden...
You don't like what we are in your eyes.
We're leading the treason on the race you run,
the way of your life.
I am danger, I'm a stranger
cause I don't give in to your call.
And not until she is satisfied
we can come and explode and we fall!!!
We're blowing the frame of your headless game:
We don't follow!
(...In their eyes we are insane! But aren't daydreamers only the escapists of
a soulless view of life?...)
4. Land Of The Miracle
[music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet]
Blinded by the fire and the sorrow of the day,
I come knocking at your door
to dry the tears away.
The eventide is calling me to take a look into your eyes.
Pull me on and make me mesmerized
Riding on the wings of light,
dreaming dreams and holding tight;
leaving all my sorrow far behind.
Your eyes are the gate
to the land of the miracle where our love can make us fly, make us fly.
In the land of the miracle
we can find a reason why and how we can fly.
Open up the book of madness,
read the page of life!
Who's the one to tell you what to do
and how to rise?
And if the stars would fall one day
I`d climb up to the sky
to put them back for you to save your smile.
...Take a look into the book of fantasy and poetry and you will see:
What you can feel is everything you need to heal your crying mind,
the soul behind and everything that you may find inside your head...
...A million years have passed away to make us head for the decay and to unlearn just
what we yearn for all day long: right to be strong and stick to our ideals,
are they for real and do we just have lost the thread?...
...I believe in miracles they happen every day.
In your arms a dream comes true for me...
(...isn't poetry one of the biggest gifts to forget our daily life of sorrow?...)
5. Wake Up The King
[music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet]
Soldier of sunlight
Welcome to the kingdom of ignorance
Where all the tears of ages tell their tales
No one dares to break the spell
No one dares to fly
Time is running out you can't deny
How many times
Have you found yourself under the influence?
How many times has a mirror mad you cry?
Now it's time to stand upright
Tear down your inner door
The birth of yourself can't wait no more
In your mind there's a battle raging on
Try to find what you're fighting for
Wake up the king
From his sleep in your fantasy
Wake up the king
Let him be all you ecstasy
Tears flow to rivers
And rivers to oceans of broken dreams
Have you ever heard of tears of joy?
Show yourself a sense of life
Open up your eyes
Let your heartbeat be your best advice
In your eyes I can see the fire burn
Realize, now it is your turn
Wake up the king
From his sleep in your fantasy
Wake up the king
Let him be all you ecstasy
Look at the mountain, look at the sun
Feel all the pure energy
Birds fly and whisper, call out your name
They belong to you and you're the
King of a kingdom, light in your hand
Look at what you have never seen
Walk on a rainbow, look to the stars
Cry it out and make your dream come true
Wake up the king
From his sleep in your fantasy
Wake up the king
Let him be all you ecstasy
Wake up the king
From his sleep in your fantasy
Wake up the king
Let him be all you ecstasy
Can't you see the crown?
(...and the vision continued: "There is less sense in complaining than looking
for your skills...")
6. Falling Down
[music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet]
"No brain is left but here I got one more nail!"
The master's final word
When he created a 'hero' like you
Born to deride and to hurt
You don't try to find a reason why
You don't have a brain
(You don't wanna have a brain)
You are just a masquerade, just a nice facade
In a snob parade, I know
(You don't know)
You don't have to wait, I'll be too late
When you meet to jump off the edge
You don't have to wait, I'll be too late
When you meet to jump off the edge
I'm not like you and I don't wanna be
Follow the times to a place you can't see
Don't call in doubt what the fashing may bring
And you'll be falling down
Hammer the nail into what you don't know
Keep on believing you're strong
You got your pride and I got my peace
There's no sense in proving you wrong
We will fight just to stand upright
We are here to dare
(We will fight, we are here to dare)
Guts to sail against the stream, to defend the dream
To do what we feel, I know
(We will fight)
You don't have to wait, I'll be too late
When you meet to jump off the edge
You don't have to wait, I'll be too late
When you meet to jump off the edge
I'm not like you and I don't wanna be
Follow the times to a place you can't see
Don't call in doubt what the fashing may bring
And you'll be falling down
Ooohhh
You don't have to wait, I'll be too late
When you meet to jump off the edge
You don't have to wait, I'll be too late
When you meet to jump off the edge
I'm not like you and I don't wanna be
Follow the times to a place you can't see
Don't call in doubt what the fashing may bring
And you'll be...
(...they listen, they follow...and they fall...)
7. Arrows Fly
[music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet & Jens Ludwig]
Faking the truth in their eyes
Smile but they really deride
Never give you shelter
Lady all alone, naked to the bone
Make you bleed and melt into tears
Down on your knees you will see
What you could be
Raise the power in your eyes
Make us rise to make us say
Down and alone - arrows fly
Breaking on my soul
Down and alone - arrows fly
I remember times
When arrows hit me causing pain
All alone I've found my soul
And now my soul is sane
The night has come down on the land
I wanna reach out for her land
But she takes another
Lonesome in my room, staring at the moon
Treated like a bother
Down on my knees I have seen
What I can be
Raise the power in my eyes
Makes me rise to make me say
Down and alone - arrows fly
Breaking on my soul
Down and alone - arrows fly
I remember times
When arrows hit me causing pain
All alone I've found my soul
And now my soul is sane
Down and alone - arrows fly
Breaking on my soul
Down and alone - arrows fly
I remember times
When arrows hit me causing pain
All alone I've found my soul
And now my soul is sane
(...isn't loneliness a good reason to become acquainted with yourself?
And when you're down and out - aren't you compelled to face yourself?
And - if you know yourself - can the arrows of the world outside
hurt you anymore?...)
8. Holy Shadows
[music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet]
You're a child of an old illusion
Can't you hear it cry?
You live your life to the exclusion
Of what they call a lie
The touch of evil it is getting stronger
You'd better hide in the daylight
Or you won't stand the temptation no longer
And you will ask if your way is right
Do not ask the preacher why
All your fears keep it alive
Waiting for the end of time
Holy shadows, always follow
Holy chains on holy shadows
When you are eve then I am temptation
I am the words you're not allowed to say
The animal of their revelation
'Cause I can take your fears away
They make you blind and they want you to follow
"Free love is sin! Desire's slavery!"
My wicked kiss on your virgin lips
Will be a pleasant way you'll see it
Do not ask the preacher why
All your fears keep it alive
Waiting for the end of time
Holy shadows, always follow
Holy chains on holy shadows
Let's get down on the floor
You'll be screaming for more
When out bodies collide
I'll make you feel alright
Never give in when they call it sin
Waiting for the end of time
Holy shadows, always follow
Holy chains on holy shadows
Holy shadows, always follow
Holy chains on holy shadows
Holy shadows, always follow
Holy chains on holy shadows
(...father, forgive her for giving in to her lust,
for being not able to stand the temptation...and for enjoying it!...)
9. Another Time
[music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet]
The rain outside reminds me of your voice
Like everything I hear since you're not there
And distance doesn't leave me any choice
Than to meet you in a dream we still can share
In my dream I see your smile
But when I open up my eyes
I can't see anyone
Now that you have gone away
I wonder if we'll reach the day
That you will realize that we belong
I can't take it for granted
I remember your smile
I can't take it for granted
'Cause I know that our life is in line
For another day or life in another time
In another time, in another time
The pressure and the fear it made you blind
You thought you have to give some burden away
But are you really sure if it's required?
Don't you want to find out another day?
In my dream I see your smile
But when I open up my eyes
I can't see anyone
Now that you have gone away
I wonder if we'll reach the day
That you will realize that we belong
I can't take it for granted
I remember your smile
I can't take it for granted
'Cause I know that our life is in line
For another day or life in another time
In another time, in another time
I can't take it for granted - I can't take it
I remember your smile - I remember
I can't take it for granted - I can't take it
'Cause I know that our life is in line
For another day or life in another time
In another time, in another time
10. The Unbeliver
[music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet & Jens Ludwig]
I am the madness carrying the torch
Lighting the wheat in your fields
I am the eyes staring out of the dark
I am the war of your yields
When you give response away I grow
I am more of you than you might know
Burning down, burning down
It's a story of deceivers
Burning down, burning down
Put the blame on the unbeliever
I am the vision that comes to your mind
When you denounce without regret
"God" is the word in the bible you say
I am the word that you spread
When you give response away I grow
I am more of you than you might know
Burning down, burning down
It's a story of deceivers
Burning down, burning down
Put the blame on the unbeliever
I'm born and I lead the weak into the fire
"No more pain" is what you claim
While you have found your wicked desire
Hahaha...
Burning down, burning down
Put the blame on the unbeliever
Burning down, burning down
It's a story of deceivers
Burning down, burning down
Put the blame on the unbeliever
Burning down, burning down
It's a story of deceivers
(...and we still chase the evil - not realizing that it lurks inside of us...)
11. Theater Of Salvation
[music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet]
"I've heard voices in my dream.
Made me stand up, helped me see. Aaah... Oohhh...
Visions called him to awake his mind,
to find his horizon
and find out what may be behind.
[vision:] "Take what you need,
you can find in the back of your soul!
Wake up the king in yourself
to be mighty and bold!"
Seasons of doubt,
fear and silent desires of life have gone by.
Visions have called back my longing
for freedom tonight. Made me sigh...
Wasting my life till the day
that the voice has appeared... Made me see:
I am the one that can make it
through times of despair; I am free!"
They built up a symbol of warning
to give me fear,
to keep me away from paradise
although it's so near,
expecting I don't take a look
at what is behind: Freedom calling...
Take a look at the open gate!
Walk on and don't be afraid!
Free your mind in what they call
it's the heart of temptation!
...oh... Go the way!
Take a look at the open gate!
Walk on and don't be afraid!
Free your mind in what they call
it's the heart of temptation!
Night after night
I remembered the word of the priest:
"Thou shalt not! Never give in to the promises made by the beast,
so help me god!
Never give in to temptation or you'll burn in hell a long, long time!
Forever-eternal-salvation is
what I can sell if you stay blind!!!"
But I wanna know what lies behind the gate of their hell.
And I won't believe all the stories that
they always tell. I got the mind to find out what is right and what's wrong.
Freedom calling...
Queen of mine I long for you.
Tell me why to wait to find our joy!
It's your wait for heaven's door,
your fear that makes them grow
and let you forget today.
I'll never go and I'll stay on your side.
They'll never know what I give to you
is a piece of paradise.
Heaven can wait! NOW I'm living!
Heaven can wait forevermore.
Heaven can wait!
I am to live like I want to also before I'll die.
Heaven can wait! You can't thrill me!
Heaven can wait, we dance till we die!
Heaven can wait! Welcome to the
THEATER OF SALVATION
"Hallelujah, hallelujah!"
I hear the man in black, his
"Hallelujah, hallelujah!"
He tries to keep me back. No!
"Hallelujah, hallelujah!"
Lock up the gates to wisdom
Hallelujah, hallelujah...
Too late! I've found the kingdom...
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
I see a band of angels.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Freedom calling...
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
I do not fear the stories.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Freedom calling me...
Don't you see it? Don't you feel it?
Freedom calling...
(...and the vision finally added: "Go and find the answers in yourself;
and always remember: 'You're already living.'
Don't let them scare you on your quest for answers and for salvation -
for real salvation...)
12. For A Trace Life
[bonus track]
[Music & Lyrics: Tobias Sammet]
Don't know where I come from
Don't know where to go
Don't know if I know
What is good to be known
I wonder if madness
Is just a child
Of my urge to know
The more that I ask
The more I get down
A million times
My quest for life is pain
But still it has not made me going insane
And I long for more
For a trace of life
Tearing down all doors
For a trace of life
You tell me you wonder
If wondering is heaven or hell
You say that you've got the view
On the dark side of life
You can't see the shadows
The others can see
But you can see it's well:
The sun and the day
The light in the sky
A million times
Your quest for life has been pain
But still it is the key to make you sane
~#~
Theater Of Salvation
(1999)
1. The Healing Vision
[music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet]
Lord of fate, I feel you deep inside my brain...
Is it really just a dream or the urge to survive?
(...and during an odyssey through the back of my mind a vision appeared to make
me realize who holds the key to my fate...)
2. Babylon
[music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet]
Yeah...
In a world of hate pollution
we can't breathe anymore.
We've to leave and this time you,
the pawn, have won.
On our quest for nowhere island
we set off to the sea.
You call surrender what we call
a calm before the storm...
Pounding thoughts of home they make me know:
"I will return! I don't live my life for you,
it's too short to get burned.
Stand upright and face the wind!"
Time to go back where I belong...
No one can prevend me from
raising towers in Babylon.
You only can love me if you can convert me
to attitudes of your brain.
You blame us for doing things
that you don't know.
You tell me what you'd do if you were me but you are you and I am I
Lucky you, but this time I say: "No!"
Pounding thoughts of home they make me know: "I will return!".
I don't want to hurt you but you'll have to learn:
You are you and I am I!!!
Ooohhh...
Oh yeah...
(...and like the vision of my urge to salvation told me,
I built up a tower to widen my horizon, whatever they might say...)
3. The Headless Game
[music & lyrics: Tobias Sammet]
Longing for silence...
"Always faster" is the way that we go.
Not a little patience...
Higher, farer, better we grow.
The beast is rising. It?s tantalizing
those who are taking the time.
Alienation... A revelation...
Straight to the end of the line...
Fly! Riding away... Rising today...
No we don't play your headless game!
We are alive, don't say goodbye.
Fly! Riding away... Rising today...
No we don't play your headless game!
We are alive, don?t say goodbye.
Cast out from Eden...
You don't like what we are in your eyes.
We're leading the treason on the race you run,
the way of your life.
I am danger, I'm a stranger
cause I don't give in to your call.
And not until she is satisfied
we can come and explode and we fall!!!
We're blowing the frame of your headless game:
We don't follow!
(...In their eyes we are insane! But aren't daydreamers only the escapists of
a soulless view of life?...)

Pull me on and make me mesmerized
Riding on the wings of light,

Your eyes are the gate

In the land of the miracle

Open up the book of madness,

Who's the one to tell you what to do
and how to rise?
And if the stars would fall one day
I`d climb up to the sky
to put them back for you to save your smile.

"I've heard voices in my dream.
Made me stand up, helped me see. Aaah... Oohhh...
Visions called him to awake his mind,
to find his horizon
and find out what may be behind.
[vision:] "Take what you need,
you can find in the back of your soul!
Wake up the king in yourself
to be mighty and bold!"
Seasons of doubt,
fear and silent desires of life have gone by.
Visions have called back my longing
for freedom tonight. Made me sigh...
Wasting my life till the day
that the voice has appeared... Made me see:
I am the one that can make it
through times of despair; I am free!"
They built up a symbol of warning
to give me fear,
to keep me away from paradise
although it's so near,
expecting I don't take a look
at what is behind: Freedom calling...
Take a look at the open gate!
Walk on and don't be afraid!
Free your mind in what they call
it's the heart of temptation!
...oh... Go the way!
Take a look at the open gate!
Walk on and don't be afraid!
Free your mind in what they call
it's the heart of temptation!
Night after night
I remembered the word of the priest:
"Thou shalt not! Never give in to the promises made by the beast,
so help me god!
Never give in to temptation or you'll burn in hell a long, long time!
Forever-eternal-salvation is
what I can sell if you stay blind!!!"
But I wanna know what lies behind the gate of their hell.
And I won't believe all the stories that
they always tell. I got the mind to find out what is right and what's wrong.
Freedom calling...
Queen of mine I long for you.
Tell me why to wait to find our joy!
It's your wait for heaven's door,
your fear that makes them grow
and let you forget today.
I'll never go and I'll stay on your side.
They'll never know what I give to you
is a piece of paradise.
Heaven can wait! NOW I'm living!
Heaven can wait forevermore.
Heaven can wait!
I am to live like I want to also before I'll die.
Heaven can wait! You can't thrill me!
Heaven can wait, we dance till we die!
Heaven can wait! Welcome to the
THEATER OF SALVATION
"Hallelujah, hallelujah!"
I hear the man in black, his
"Hallelujah, hallelujah!"
He tries to keep me back. No!
"Hallelujah, hallelujah!"
Lock up the gates to wisdom
Hallelujah, hallelujah...
Too late! I've found the kingdom...
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
I see a band of angels.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Freedom calling...
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
I do not fear the stories.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Freedom calling me...
Don't you see it? Don't you feel it?
Freedom calling...
(...and the vision finally added: "Go and find the answers in yourself;
and always remember: 'You're already living.'
Don't let them scare you on your quest for answers and for salvation -
for real salvation...)
12. For A Trace Life
[bonus track]
[Music & Lyrics: Tobias Sammet]
Don't know where I come from
Don't know where to go
Don't know if I know
What is good to be known
I wonder if madness
Is just a child
Of my urge to know
The more that I ask
The more I get down
A million times
My quest for life is pain
But still it has not made me going insane
And I long for more
For a trace of life
Tearing down all doors
For a trace of life
You tell me you wonder
If wondering is heaven or hell
You say that you've got the view
On the dark side of life
You can't see the shadows
The others can see
But you can see it's well:
The sun and the day
The light in the sky
A million times
Your quest for life has been pain
But still it is the key to make you sane
