Album Lyrics
1. Overture
Nowhere to run,
nowhere to go.
Welcome to life damnation!
Welcome to fun,
welcome to hope.
Here is your invitation!
Welcome to the gate,
to the unknown fate,
waiting for a better day.
Jesters dance around,
slowly growing old,
having party while they stay.
Nowhere to run,
nowhere to go.
Welcome to life damnation!
Welcome to fun,
welcome to hope.
Here is your invitation!
2. Until We Rise Again
2080!
Our world is an empty domain,
emotions have died.
Men bleeding oil are the
heroes for children today.
Drinking the blood of the weak,
dictators bring pain
but they show us a smile.
Feelings and love are kept
hidden in a madhouse cave.
It’s a mad revolution
and the spirits will die.
Escape the confusion,
take my hand.
Now take my hand,
take me now!
Take my hand,
We won’t be so free
until we rise again!
Eden is mad so enjoy it
and fly to the sun.
Don’t you return!
Your breath and your
heartbeat are gifts
you’ve been given for life!
Oh your deepest emotions
are a sign of our
life ad our love.
No robot can stop us!
Take my hand!
3. How Many Miles
Watching a face and a smile and a light
when you’re walking alone in the street.
I know your look always gives you the might,
many miles from your ass to your feet.
And I dream,
what I’ve seen
is what I want it to be.
Self-made reality!
How many miles
to the gate of reality?
How many steps left
to go to my dreams?
How many miles to the land
where my dreams come true?
Dreams which come true
just have died.
Look like a queen but you talk like a pawn
and I know you’re a fool in disguise.
Godfather, tell me how to carry on
blinded by fantasies of lies.
And I dream,
what I’ve seen
is what I want it to be.
Self-made reality!
How many miles
to the gate of reality?
How many steps left
to go to my dreams?
How many miles to the land
where my dreams come true?
Dreams which come true
just have died.
I see your smile, a golden masquerade,
and I know my dream will be my fate.
Time has stolen my fantasy
because it’s become a pale reality.
How many miles
to the gate of reality?
How many steps left
to go to my dreams?
How many miles to the land
where my dreams come true?
Dreams which come true
just have died.
4. Scarlet Rose
The moment when you held me tight
won’t come back anymore.
And at the end of that night
you slammed the door.
My dream, it died away
just when I saw red.
And nothing but a memory
is left inside my head.
Nothing is forever in life
But a memory believe it’s true.
And when I gaze in the rain
I’m crying just for you.
The scarlet rose has died,
lost inside the night.
Left in my mind like a dream
and full of pride.
The scarlet rose has died!
The one and only way
to catch the beauty of a dawn
is to take a picture
of the growing sun.
I got that experience
no one could steal away.
One moment of your life is mine,
I remember day by day.
Nothing is forever in life
But a memory believe it’s true.
And when I gaze in the rain
I’m crying just for you.
The scarlet rose has died,
lost inside the night.
Left in my mind like a dream
and full of pride.
The scarlet rose has died!
5. Out of Control
Into a place of darkness
he was born to live alone.
He’s got one big desire,
one day he’d get the crown.
Hey Devil, come on help me now,
be the one to pull my string.
Let me be your slave to serve you,
to let me be the King.
Just give me a sign,
take on my mind
and let me stay blind.
A victim of life,
too weak to be King.
Out of control!
My life is a chamber
of tears, fear and hate.
Out of control!
Help me to gain the crown,
here is my fate.
Wherever I may roam
there will be hate and pain.
Eye for eye, tooth for tooth,
respect is what I gain.
I look up to Mr. Crowley,
evil powers now unite!
I will be your darkest nightmare,
my life is a fatal fight.
Just give me a sign,
take on my mind
and let me stay blind.
A victim of life,
too weak to be King.
Out of control!
My life is a chamber
of tears, fear and hate.
Out of control!
Help me to gain the crown,
here is my fate.
Listen up my friend,
you just cry for a hand.
But you only pretend
that you’re bad now.
We’ll, take on my mind!
Out of control!
My life is a chamber
of tears, fear and hate.
Out of control!
Help me to gain the crown,
here is my fate.
6. Vain Glory Opera
The prayers have been spoken,
may the Gods be on my side.
May they join my way
to bring me victory.
Seven at one stroke!
my triumph and my pride,
I will be history.
But behind my enemies eyes,
a soul in disguise
not only lies.
We live to fight
the hand of doom,
we got the pride
to strike a fool.
Vain glory be
my wicked guide!
We live to fight
the hand of doom,
we got the pride
to strike a fool.
Vain glory be
my wicked guide!
What’s Hell without a paradise,
what’s the night without a day
we would think it’s bright?
What’s a fall if we can’t rise,
what’s a hero at a play
without a fool to fight?
But behind my enemies eyes,
a soul in disguise
not only lies.
We live to fight
the hand of doom,
we got the pride
to strike a fool.
Vain glory be
my wicked guide!
We live to fight
the hand of doom,
we got the pride
to strike a fool.
Vain glory be
my wicked guide!
7. Fairytale
Giants of stone
build up my desire,
no one could tell us
the secret of fire.
The hunger for wisdom
deep in your heart.
You can’t accept that
you’re living apart.
Water runs
down the river.
Lord, you are the
only to deliver.
Night stay night!
In the night
nothing is white.
Not a knowledge,
not a light!
Lord, will you tell me
why someday?
Fairytale!
Life is one big fairytale,
a book of seven seals.
Someone tell me why and how!
Fairytale!
Life is one big fairytale,
a book of seven seals.
Someone tell me why and how!
I’m always told
to kneel down and pray.
What shall I do
to stay on my way?
Questions borrow
through my brain,
pound and disturb
and drive me insane.
Lost in visions of
knowledge I’ll never owe.
Night to night!
In the night,
not a light,
not a knowledge,
nothing’s white.
Lord, will you tell me
why someday?
Fairytale!
Life is one big fairytale,
a book of seven seals.
Someone tell me why and how!
Fairytale!
Life is one big fairytale,
a book of seven seals.
Someone tell me why and how!
Tell me what is time!
Fairytale!
Life is one big fairytale,
a book of seven seals.
Someone tell me why and how!
Fairytale!
Life is one big fairytale,
a book of seven seals.
Someone tell me why and how!
8. Walk On Fighting
The ivory is cold,
where is my desire?
In a cage of gold,
not a trace of fire.
Ice cold as ice,
I’m heading for tomorrow.
I am tired of waiting,
I’ll beg and steal and borrow.
Life is to short to be wasted,
so why do I sit around?
Dance on the edge of a razor,
get off the ground!
And I’ll never return!
Walk on fighting,
don’t look ever back.
Walk on fighting,
don’t you look back
to your cries.
The phone it waits in silence,
no message left by you.
There is no use in crying,
I know I’ve been a fool.
Now it is too late,
no words left to say.
I gotta call it fate,
forget and look away.
Life is to short to be wasted,
so why do I sit around?
Dance on the edge of a razor,
get off the ground!
And I’ll never return!
Walk on fighting,
don’t look ever back.
Walk on fighting,
don’t you look back
to your cries.
9. Tomorrow
Another dawn is coming,
a new day has begun.
An eagle is rising slowly
to the skies of no return,
disappearing in the growing sun.
So proud and so beautiful,
thinking about tomorrow
with tears in his eyes.
Once a lot of brothers spread
their wings to join his way,
now he’s left alone in a world of lies.
Cry for tomorrow!
Why don’t we hear
the eagle’s cries?
Living in sorrow!
Why don’t we help
him to survive?
Once a dignity,
a mighty sign of pride.
Strong and proud and free,
a symbol of eternity.
Why don’t we see?
We can’t survive
if we don’t realize
our world is a place
that can’t be created twice.
Cry for tomorrow!
Why don’t we hear
the eagle’s cries?
Living in sorrow!
Why don’t we help
him to survive?
10. No More Foolin’
Fair sex paralyzer,
lipstick in a face.
Spirit analizer,
not one human trace.
No need to cry!
Roll the fuckin’ dice,
I’m a loser in a game.
You’re gonna hurt my feelings,
your only real aim.
Feels like I die!
You can play nice,
you get satisfied
when you win.
I see a smile of truth,
but I can’t stare within.
Riot in your soul!
No more foolin’,
you will save all your love.
No more foolin’,
you will save all your love.
Say goodbye,
say goodbye!
You never knew that I
was strong enough to stand.
All alone on my own
I don’t need your hand.
Get your weapons loaded,
your target in your sight.
Why don’t you only tell me
that I shall fucking die.
Lookin’ so attractive,
want to get me active
but you never realized that I
have got the tactics.
I’m much too cool,
much too large to
be fooled by your lies.
You can play nice,
you get satisfied
when you win.
I see a smile of truth,
but I can’t stare within.
Riot in your soul!
No more foolin’,
you will save all your love.
No more foolin’,
you will save all your love.
Say goodbye,
say goodbye!
You never knew that I
was strong enough to stand.
All alone on my own
I don’t need your hand.
No more foolin’,
you will save all your love.
No more foolin’,
you will save all your love.
Say goodbye,
say goodbye!
11. Hymn (Ultravox cover)
Give us this day,
all that you showed me,
the faith and the glory
until my kingdom comes.
Give us this day,
all that you showed me,
the power and the glory
until my kingdom comes.
Give me all the
stories you told me,
the faith and the glory
until my kingdom comes.
And they say that in our time
all that’s good will fall from grace.
Even saints would turn their face,
in our time.
And they told us that in our days
different word said in different ways.
Have other meanings from he who says,
in our time.
Give us this day,
all that you showed me,
the power and the glory
until my kingdom comes.
Give me all the
stories you told me,
the faith and the glory
until my kingdom comes.
And they say that in our time
we would reap from their legacy.
And we would learn from what
they had seen, in our time.
And they told us that in our days
we would know what was high on high.
We would follow and not defy,
in our time.
Give us this day,
all that you showed me,
the power and the glory
until my kingdom comes.
Faithless in faith,
we must behold the
things we see.
Give us this day,
all that you showed me,
the power and the glory
until my kingdom comes.
Give me all the
stories you told me,
the faith and the glory
until my kingdom comes.
