2002 (Intro)

[No lyrics]

. . .


soothsayers predict a holocaust
corrupt politicians, defend this way of living
whatever the loss - at any cost

where did we go wrong?
we crossed the finishing line
and burnt our sinking ships
has god forsaken us?

multinational corporate greed
feed on the poor and the weak
no matter what race or creed
the future looks depressingly bleak
once a privileged race
now living on borrowed time
sins of our fathers, catching up
breathing down our necks

we pray for salvation
in this world of mutilation
man's fate - termination
in this world of deprivation (mutilation - dehumanization)

we've been digging our own mass grave
for god knows how many centuries
killing our own flesh an blood
spreading disease, killing the trees
third stone form the sun
suffering from ignorant neglect
our home - mother earth
mankind refused to show respect

we never expected the end
to be from heaven sent
it was death from above
that struck down with evil intent
gotterd�?mmerung - twilight of the gods
as the world slowly stops to turn
"sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow"
what did we gain, what did we learn?

. . .


a final sign the sky is falling down
this world has come undone
Armageddon has arrived
in the shape of a killing machine

destroying you
pulling you under its wheels
crushing you

a sadistic instrument of pain
to hunt down our race like animals

invincible - eraser of life - truly evil
the juggernaut divine

a war cry killing the unborn
suffocating heat and the stench of
burning human meat
our culture now destroyed forever

as the war machine keeps turning
the flames of hate - still burning

. . .


Climb into the shuttle
Tere is no time to waste!
This is the last you will see
Of your family and home
The demigods have taken
Their lives, taken control
From now on we are renegades
Destined to roam

We are blessed the chosen few
Survivors of the holocaust
Men, women and children
Work as crew
Unite together we must

What lies ahead of us
Is a mystery
We all hail
The new horizon
A future paradise
In another galaxy
Try to fill
This myopic void

As we travel through
The infinity of space
I lie down to rest
And my mind wanders
Will we ever find
Another friendly race?
I stare into the blackness
Outside... I wonder...

We will make our own destiny
Create our own future
There are no boundaries
We are truly free

-Solos-

Funeral in Space

[No lyrics]

. . .


We are all in
A state of mourning
Grieving the ones
Who did not survive
We perform a
Ceremony for dead
As their caskets float
Away into space
But we know we've
Got to keep going
Pushing forward
Into dark universe
On a mission
To rescue our race
Secure the future
Of our kind

Asteroid dominion
The star or our
Fantasies and dreams
Asteroid dominion
Shining so bright
Asteroid dominion

Everything is a circle
Constantly moving ahead
Somewhere out there we
Will find our own utopia
A new for future generations
Legends in our own lifetime
A fresh start
Without degeneration
A brave new world

Asteroid dominion
The star or our
Fantasies and dreams
Asteroid dominion
Shining so bright
Asteroid dominion

-Solos-

Unto a land flowing
With milk and honey
Beyond the known universe
In a hidden galaxy
A sacred sanctum
For you and me
I'm praying for a
Peaceful existence
As unlikely as that may seem
Tell me what good is man
Without his dreams?

. . .

Galaxies Away

[No lyrics]

. . .


I put my trust in technology
Now I'm doubting we will
Ever reach our goal
All ambition is
Now finally lost
I'm no longer prepared
To pay the cost
Every dream
Hope, anticipation
That we used to share
Was it all for nothing
Were we fools to believe?

Faceless
Enter the dead zone
Faithless
In the red zone

-Solo-

Children of the New Sun

[No lyrics]

. . .


i am the sole survivor of this illfated mission
all the others are since long dead and gone
we had dreams, we had visions
nothing left now but one crude decision
inhuman temperature slowly rising
gasping for air, all supplies are wasted
we turned the last pages of history
our fate shall be shrouded in mustery

shall we truly be no more?
it is hard to comprehend
yet i fear it to be true
beyond all hope, it is over
there is no point in going on
(where did we go wrong?)
an optic illusion
children of another dimension
the stars shine so painfully bright
on this, our last fatal night

crossing the rubicon
into the sun...
am i the chosen one?
into the sun...

we were the blessed, the chosen few
survivors of the holocaust
we had the confidence of youth to pull through
now i'm so much older and feeling lost
i steer this ship into the sun
the flesh of our bodies melt into one
what once was our vessel
now a burning rock, our epitaph... our final requiem

. . .


Another prophet of disaster
Who says the ship is lost
Another prophet of disaster
Leaving you to count the cost
Taunting us with visions
Afflicting us with fear
Predicting war for millions
In the hope that one appears

No point asking when it is
No point asking who's to go
No point asking what's the game
No point asking who's to blame
'Cause if you're gonna die
If you're gonna die
'Cause if you're gonna die
If you're gonna die

If you're gonna die
Die with your boots on
If you're gonna try
Just stick around
Gonna cry, just move along
If you're gonna die
You're gonna die

In 13 the beast is rising
The frenchman did surmise
Through earthquakes and starvation
The warlord will arise
Terror, death, destruction
Pour from the eastern sands
But the truth of all predictions
Is always in your hands

If you're gonna die
Die with your boots on
If you're gonna try
Just stick around
Gonna cry, just move along
If you're gonna die
You're gonna die

If you're gonna die
Die with your boots on
If you're gonna try
Just stick around
Gonna cry, just move along
If you're gonna die
You're gonna die

-Solo-

You'll die with your boots on
You'll die
You're gonna die
With your boots on
We'll die, we'll die
We'll die, we'll die

-Solo-

No point asking when it is
No point asking who's to go
No point asking whats the game
No point asking who's to blame
'Cause if you're gonna die
If you're gonna die
'Cause if you're gonna die
If you're gonna die

If you're gonna die
Die with your boots on
If you're gonna try
Just stick around
Gonna cry, just move along
If you're gonna die
You're gonna die

If you're gonna die
Die with your boots on
If you're gonna try
Just stick around
Gonna cry, just move along
If you're gonna die, die
