1. Tribute to the Past (music: Hansen/Rubach, lyrics: Hansen) He had found a way to leave, to somewhere far from now Travelling in his time machine a dream that had come true Fly my friend, you will see, something called reality I feel good, I'm alright, doing what I please - I travel time Far beyond the rising sun I ride the winds of fate Prepared to go where my heart belongs - back to past again I just want to save the universe for all mankind He wants to save the future of the Earth Step by step surroundings change as years go passing by He only stops to gaze a little while I push the button further on, I just can't get enough I know I will return again but still I'm movin' on Far beyond the rising sun... As I'm movin' on I see things to come, I see tears and I hear laughter Curiosity, comin' over me, what is next and what will happen And I see the lies and I hear the cries and the marchin' of the people As they go to war, Heaven knows what for - God I think I've had enough now Too late, too late - I can't go back no more! I lost control of the engine No light, no light - can't see where I have gone! Can't see where I have now gone to Where am I now - stranded in time Solo Kai So many years have passed since I had gone and I have seen what's gonna be But now I know it is useless to travel on And I will return to the time and place I belong to Far beyond the rising sun....(repeat) 2. No Return (music&lyrics: Hansen) I'm riding the wind, don't need your request You'd never invite me but I will be your guest Oh, no, no, don't be afraid of the Reaper It's time to go I call your name and you follow Fly with me Take a look around and say you love me, And I will guide you through the Golden Door For everything you see there is a reason The big wheel is turning like always before There is no return from the other side of Heaven For the big wheel turns and the circle must go on Forever more How do you like the Termination day? - So far - Kiss me good bye, cause I must fade away Oh, no, no, don't be afraid of your Master It's time to go he's calling your name now you follow Fly away Take a look around... There is no return... Solo Kai Welcome to eternal life, my friend Now take your seat on your cloud Enjoy your stay But always remember There is no return There is no return... There is no return... No return, no return From the other side of Heaven 3. Last Before the Storm (music&lyrics: Hansen) Who's controlling all the misery and pain When the error signs are lighted in the Masterhall And from the start the action is in vain Cause the Beast is always careful to avoid the fall We crawl up to the skies we'll never return again We're the last before the storm Watching the sun going down on us We wish we had never been born To be the last before the storm Who's ever gonna change the world I don't understand what we are fighting for The truth is sad, no lying, we are cursed I don't really know who ever made the Law We cry out for more, we wonder what's next to the world We settle the score, we never look back We're the last before the storm... Cry out for the people who don't know the world They don't understand what they say and they're cursed Lying for reasons in search for the truth Mephisto - we comin' down (repeat) Solo Dirk/Kai/Melody both We cry out for more... We're the last before the storm... 4. The Cave Principle (music&lyrics: Hansen) I crawl across the floor never see the light Only shadows on the wall Somebody said there's reality behind But I'm afraid to turn and fall - oh no Set me free - for eternity And now they talk about my destiny again I hear their footsteps in the dark But then again there was the silence and the pain Uh, Lord that made me feel so lost Help me - get out of here Save me - my world's an illusion Bass - solo/Kai/Dirk/Kai/Dirk I'm still inside the cave imprisoned in my mind And silhouettes on the wall I have to turn around to see what's goin' on Cause what I saw was never all Just a move is the solution It's not enough to stand and stare Leave the cave and find a reason For the cross you have to bear Never return to the principle 5. Future Madhouse (music: Hansen, lyrics: Hansen/Scheepers) In the morning you try to recover But you still got the red in your eyes Then you get up and look in the mirror And you see the beast arise Got a big red nose from the overdose And somebody else's eyes And you think to thee is it really me And you have to realiaze The price that you pay for a moment like this Is never too high cause you're still doing it Don't you know that we all stand in line Our future dreams are just a waste of time Our future - is a madhouse and we all are movin' in Our world - needs some action cause there's nothing left to gain Take your baggy things are ready You only need to come Join this century's schizoid clan The rooms are primed and done The price that you pay for a moment like this Is never too high cause it perfectly fits Don't you think that you are wasting time Insanity is just a state of mind Our future - is a madhouse... Solo Kai/Dirk/Kai Our world - is a madhouse, in the gutter, come on in Our world - needs some action, satisfaction till the end Our world - we need sex and crime to supply our minds An amazing time, come on in Our world - and we party on till our life is done Just to waste on time - till the end 6. Gamma Ray (music&lyrics: Frenzel, rewritten&arranged by Gamma Ray) The world's desperated with irony,hunger and corruption The eastern and the africans too Are going to repeat the history of all wars And our industry supplied them with arms Everybody knows but nobody can do anything against it The fall of society is on the make Well sometimes, sometimes I try to drop a list I try to find out what they have done I thought of honourable murderers you know Like Jonah's hand might /???/ around us And anytime, everywhere in the whole world Gamma Ray, Gamma Ray, Gamma, Gamma, Gamma Ray Made of your existence Gamma Ray money and our failing I've waited for - to find Gamma Ray Without a body I could fly around the world Destroying arms, destroying rockets Mix all complexions of the whole human race We all would turn to shadow people Everybody, everywhere in the whole world Gamma Ray, Gamma Ray... Solo Kai Everybody, everywhere in the whole world Gamma Ray, Gamma Ray... 7. Insanity And Genius (music: Rubach, lyrics: Nack) Therefore I'm laying down in laughter Mighty, the mightiest life hereafter The trip we started hasn't finished here And while we think there's not a shade of fear Black points jump in crossing lines Insanity and genius Both two sides are what I find And I know they're mine Sometimes my womb bears an actor Your mind - creating tragic factors You've got knowledge - stolen from the sea You've got wisdom - just stolen knowledge Black points jump in crossing lines Insanity's not far behind the genius inside Close before - insanity and genius (repeat) Solo Dirk And everyday a dreamer dies To see what's on the other side And everyday more dreamers die, my friend While black points jump in crossing lines again Companions in approaching time insanity and genius Good old friends in common life insanity and genius Close before - insanity and genius (repeat) 8. 18 Years (music: Scheepers/Schlachter, lyrics: Scheepers) Are you still satisfied with the situation That you've had for many years now? Time is movin' on your childhood it's gone But you don't realize that the game isn't won Blind you think that you're safe at home But the fall is near if you carry on 18 years of freedom - where have they gone? Try to understand - you must search to take and give Before you're old - you must learn to live your life before you're old Break out the change is drawing near Decisions to stop, to think and stare Solutions my thoughts are getting clear, I'm leaving and I no longer care Spread my wings and fly among the clouds I feel so free, I left the world behind Now I know what I have missed I'll never give it back, my life's just begun Throw it all away, I'm never gonna be the same again (repeat 4 times) Throw it all away, throw it all away I'm not gonna be the same again 9. Your Torn Is Over (music&lyrics&vocals: Schlachter) We're coming closer to the final phase You better do what you can No you won't stand the chance to win the race You better leave cause I'm the man I know you think you nearly got it made I think you live in a daydream There's no way out I'm gonna give you a nightmare You get a lesson that you never forget Your torn is over (repeat 4 times) /hey wow!!!! it seems that they changed the whole bridge here!!! here is what they really sing and following is what's written in the booklet: Think I better keep an eye on you On every move that you make Cause you are motherf**king liar , uuuh Well, everybody knows you're fake And I don't give a sh*t on what you say/ Think I better keep an eye on you Cause you're a liar that's what they tell There's nothing in the world that you can do I'm gonna take you down to hell And I don't care just what you do or say You find yourself in a dead end, there's no way out Poor pityful bastard, your t0rn is over And I'm finished with you /Poor pityful you, you get a lesson that you never forget/ Your torn is over (repeat 4 times) Solo Dirk I'm feeling free - you can't stop me You can't hold me - I'm so restless So you think you can escape your fate Tell me sucker it's too late See I know you gonna make my day So you think you can save your life, if we all gonna work for you but you gonna get it screwed Better look at your size, you're nothing more than little poo It doesn't matter what you do, I know I'm comin' over you say, it doesn't matter anyway You haven't got a single clue Your torn is over and I'm finished with you Your torn is over (repeat 8 times) 10. Heal Me (music: Schlachter, lyrics: Hansen/Schlachter, vocals: Hansen) When I wake up at the end of the day Moon comes out sun fades away I get myself out of my bed and cry Is it really me now - could this be the real thing Is there someone else to ease the pain So easy, so easy now, has it really gone too far It don't matter anyhow, sometimes I feel like an Echo in the wind, that's not coming back again I look inside my head and what I see Are the reflections of the world And I see genius and insanity You're alive - you're part of the show You came to foresee the signs on the wall So many tried in vain - they know the truth Learn - how to live and fight and learn - How to fight them right and learn - how to give and take it all You can be strong if you know who you are The signs on the wall tell you move on before it's too late Can you see them, do you wanna be the one who's creeping on the floor? Could it be forever? Could it all be lies? The chaos is a killer and he knows who will fall Help me - I need some help Now is there someone out there What are you waiting for? You're on the road to nowhere The only way I know Maybe I'm wrong, I haven't got a clue Don't know where I belong - tell me what is true Oh won't you come to heal me - heal me (repeat 4 times) /Here comes the "undocumented piece" ..they talk for a while something about well....God, afterlife, Truth - is all that real and such sort of thing/ Think - don't think - what can you see Our life is just a fantasy of someone we will never see Therefore I break down in laughter Now as I change my point of view There's nothing left to make me blue - never again - no more Come on in my friend and join the ball Everything is beatiful - even the band - it's magic Imagine you're superstar you gonna fly You gonna go far - far, so far Solo Dirk Oh won't you come to heal me - heal me (repeat 4 times) 11. Brothers (music: Schlachter/Scheepers/Hansen, lyrics: Scheepers/Hansen) My life, not yours Is that alright no fight I don't wanna quit it No, way is that okay Now don't you dare, don't you dare To touch it with your fingers You sneak around, pull me down Gimme no, gimme no, gimme no more bullshit I know there's something goin' on You better leave my life alone You gotta take it as a matter of fact now step aside We are brothers in rock, we won't let go We got our music and we got our soul And with sisters in rock we can change the world If we try Cool down, now move around Someday, maybe you will understand it My way, okay feels so good, feels so good To be with all my good friends Don't you realize you talk too much I got an easy way of life, don't touch You gotta take it as a matter of fact now step aside In the concrete jungle we play rock'n'roll To set us free, to loose control In the concrete jungle we can break the walls That hold us down and keep us small
