Staring out the window
at places in the starlit horizon
I'm waiting in the darkness
for arrival
but the sands of my time are running low

Lost and stranded far away from home
Peeping through window in the darkness
- parted our hearts
glowing turning circles where we go
- no, they won't let go, let go
blindour souls with raging burning madness

Out in the heavens we're ready to fight
the final conclusion is roaring inside

Gaze at the stars, the glowing god of mars
is shinning for us, anywhere in the galaxy
time is right for us to see
the world will long for liberty
the fallen heroes calling me
anywhere in the galaxy

Anywhere... in the galaxy
Anywhere... in the galaxy

And now our blood is boiling
on the edge of life
where is the place for our survivor

Up to the stars, we have come from the night
the final conclusion is roaning inside

Gaze at the stars, the glowing god of mars
is shinning for us, anywhere in the galaxy
time is right for us to see
the world will long for liberty
the fallen heroes calling me
anywhere in the galaxy

Anywhere in the galaxy
we will fight for our destiny
anywhere in the galaxy
we will always run free

Anywhere in the galaxy
anywhere in the galaxy

. . .


Out of the valley of death
the man turns his back
stares up to the hills, his eyes burning red
he licks his palm, with brown dried blood
turns, graining teeth, up to his lord

The darkness of the night
turns bright at his cry
so quiet but deadly
Burning deep within, and now he will begin
he cries out to his lord forevermore

It's the razorblade sigh
shooting up to the sky
blood on the wings, one of the kings
there's a burning within
when the storm closes in
he is one of a kind, in the hands of time
razorblade

His raging fire burns you with desire
as you're taken down into his gravity
he wants you now, into his masterplan
and he'll be taking you into his dignity

Tires are burning on the way through hell
fallen angel set me free
wheels are turning, take me far beyond
Holding out my hands in victory

It's the razorblade sigh
shooting up to the sky
blood on the wings, one of the kings
there's a burning within
when the storm closes in
he is one of a kind, in the hands of time
razorblade, razorblade

Death angel is coming
You see him ride across the land
time in his hands

The darkness of the night
turns bright at his cry
it's burning deep within
he cries for more

As I awake
at the end of the road there's a rainbow
slowly he'll fade, the drawning of time
on the wings of the razor
As I awake
at the end of the road there's a rainbow
slowly he'll fade away the drawning of time
on the wings of the razorblade

. . .


Out of the dark
he came without a warning
the guarding light
I didn't see...

on a story tellers night
he spoke his words of wisdom
the tales he told from far beyond
that no one understood

He had the gift of prophecy
he wove a web of mystery
a thousend lifes shone gracious in his eyes

Send me a sign
for too long you kept me waiting
send me a sign
from the eternal skies
send me a sign
send me a sign

He disappeared
in the early haze of morning
and with him left his prophecies
they didn't care...

All the years that passed away
he'slocked inside my head
his tales became reality
the prophecies he said

He was the choosen one to see
his words will burn eternally
it hurts, that no one understands

Send me a sign
for too long you kept me waiting
send me a sign
from the eternal skies
send me a sign
send me a sign

He had the gift of prophecy
he gave a guarding light to me
I know, he set my spirit free

Send me a sign
send me a sign
send me a sign
for too long you kept me waiting
send me a sign
to open their eyes
send me a sign
send me a sign
send me a sign
send me a sign

. . .


We lay our souls into your hands
and our freedom remains
we ride on wings of hope
and our star will rise again

Run before you die
can't you hear the warning
no regrets tonight - now your end is comming
it's your sacrifice - to destroy your body
now you pay the price
raging fury lasts forever

Their mission is so glorious
raising hope in all of us
there we stand united hand in hand

They come from a land far beyond
A million miles behind the sun
they come from nowhere brave inside
strangers in the night

Time is running by - no more deadly spirals
Now we realize - pray for our survival

Eyes are shining glorious
marching in victorious
there they stand united hand in hand

They come from a land far beyond
a million miles still riding on
they come from nowhere to brave inside
strangers in the night

They come for freedom, come to fight
come to save us all
we are one until we die, waiting for the call

They come from a land far beyond
a million miles behind the sun
they come to lead us to survive
strangers in the night

We lay our souls into your hands
and our freedom remains
we ride on wings of hope
and your star will rise again

. . .


As the heat is rising, out there in the past
Fallen angels calling, they have come to last
they are coming out of the dark

Then the horsemen ride out
every thing groes cold
now their armies march in
Out there from the underworld

I do not want my eyes to see
I never wanted to believe

Take me to the gardens of the sinner
Bury me and let me rest in peace
now the time of truth has come for everyone
The fallen angel stands in victory

The final seal was broken
it opened up the gates
for the dark avengers
their anger kills the light and then...

I do not want my eyes to see
I never wanted to believe

Take me to the gardens of the sinner
Bury me and let me rest in peace
now the time of truth has come for everyone
The fallen angel stands in victory

As the seventh angel opened up the seal
his curse brought endless desease
and as the wind carried the deadly seed
to the minds of the doomed
they were gone for the stages of hell

Take me to the gardens of the sinner
take me down and let me rest in peace
now the time for truth has come for everyone
the fallen angel laughs and grins now...

Take me to the gardens of the sinner
Bury me and let me rest in peace
now the time of truth has come for everyone
The fallen angel stands in victory

. . .


So now we talk about destruction
a human race that's left to die
nobody ever will believe it
until we face it eye to eye

Let us talk about hell

Our future shines in darkest colours
you'll never change it, never will
ain't nothing left now to believe in
and so we face the overkill

Hey mother mercy leave me be
do you expect me now to cry

Time will wait for noone
Time is short as hell

time, time, time is short as hell

All is lost, into the underworld we fade
until our live is gone
count the cost
then from the darkness whiped away
into the underworld we fade
Where the darkness awaits

Time will wait for noone
Time is short as hell, hell, hell

Time...

When I look back upon my life
It's always with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame

For everything I long to do
No matter where or when or who
Has one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

It's a sin

Everything I've ever done
Everything I'll ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin

At school they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didn't quite succeed
Oh no
For everything I long to do
No matter where or when or who
Has one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

It's a sin

Everything I've ever done
Everything I'll ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin

Father forgive me, I tried not to do it
Turned over a new leaf, then tore right through it
Whatever you taught me, I didn't believe it
Father, you fought me, 'cause I didn't care
And I still not understand

So I look back upon my life
Forever with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame

For everything I long to do
No matter where or when or who
Has one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

It's a sin

Everything I've ever done
Everything I'll ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to - it's a sin
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

. . .


We're the masters of the wind
We're demons left in howl
we're the undefeated warriors
we have heard the call

We're the keepers and the leaders
of the only thing we love
we're the saviors
and protectors from above

In our sky there is no limits
and masters we have none
heavy metal is the only one

'cause its heavy metal universe
with a heavy metal sound
masters of the thunder
shake you to the ground

It's a heavy metal bomber
an it's never going down
flying 'cross the universe
we're heavy metal bound
we're heavy metal bound

With a burning hot desire
like a supersonic blast
we have come to show the world
that we have come to last

There ain't no way to stop us
and you'll never kill our pride
'cause it's not only music
it's a chosen way of life

And our world has got no borders
and in union we all stand
'cause heavy metal is our promised land

'cause it's a heavy metal universe
with a heavy metal sound
masters of the thunder
shake you to the ground

It's a heavy metal bomber
and it's never going down
flying 'cross the universe
we're heavy metal bound
we're heavy metal bound

See my hands held to the sky
let me rock you 'till forever
raise your voice we're soaring high
swear allegiance now or never
burning up we build a flame
as we speak the oath together

metal is our way forever...
... way forevermore

And our world has got no borders
and in union we all stand
'cause heavy metal is our promissed land

'cause it's a heavy metal universe
with a heavy metal sound
masters of the thunder
shake you to the ground
it's a heavy metal bomber
and it's never going down
flying 'cross the universe
we're heavy metal bound
we're heavy metal bound

Do you remember the days
when living was meant to be free
not looking for fortune
not looking for fame
the beauty of life was the key

We lived as one to conquer the world
a thousand dreams to come true
we knew in the end we'll find
the meaning of life and the truth

So proud and full of passion
we formed a better world
we fought against opression
and winsdom was our sword

On the path of glory
we searched the rainbow's end
lives meant to share
where's the sign that we'd sent?

On the sad wings of destiny
we're kings without a throne
if you believe in unity
believe 'cause you're not alone
sad wings of destiny
the haunting thoughts of pain
the world's a patient, majesty, but believe
the time, the time will take its toll

Now its the time for a change
the days of your childhood are gone
the fool and the wise man
will burn at the stake
confusion remaining too long

Violence and hate I won't see anymore
the innocent victims of fate
the prophets have written
their words on the wall
wake up before it's too late

On the path of glory
we searched the rainbow's end
lives meant to share
where's the sign that we'd sent?

On the sad wings of destiny
we're kings without a throne
if you believe in unity
believe 'cause you're not alone
sad wings of destiny
the haunting thoughts of pain
the world's a patient, majesty, but believe
believe if you won't change your mind
all will remain the same
and soon we'll find a common end

On the path of glory
we searched the rainbow's end
lives meant to share
where's the sign that we'd sent?

On the sad wings of destiny
we're kings without a throne
if you believe in unity
believe 'cause you're not alone
Sweet child of innocence
are you drowning in your tears?
the time has come for you my friend
don't hide from evil made by our own hands
let us try to fly again
one day we will rise again
on wings of hope to be free...

. . .


Now... that all seems so quiet
and we all have survived
but after all
still we fear
the hand of fate... tonight

Men on the mountain
from hell you came to destroy
the realm of our freedom
endangered to fade in the void

Now they are back on the earth
taking their wrath to our land
an ocean full of darkness awaits

we will resist, fight until the end

And down belou the dark lord awaits
to fight our souls with hate
our hearts with rage

10.000 dreams for glory rise
now they are awaiting
the hand of fate tonight

So we have gathered here
beyond the endless skies
and we are marching on and on
forver more
for the dark lord - he must fall

Out on the edge of the world
the wasted years are coming to an end
the oceans of evil shall fade
master of doom - we're taking it back again

Deep in our hearts we hear
the call of the wild
spirits of yesterday will fly away

10.000 dreams for glory rise
now they are awaiting
the hand of fate tonight

10.000 dreams for glory rise
now they are awaiting
the hand of fate tonight
10.000 dreams for glory rise
now they we're awaiting
the hand of fate tonight

Now all you sinners, this is the prophecy
the revelation of your own destiny
you had a dream once
A dream that you have sold
and now my brother
annihilation is foretold

Will you remember ancient times
when we rode across the air
when the day of judgement comes

and when your world is gonna blow
through your heart and take your soul
in th twilight of the sun

I believe there's no tomorrow
when we all will sink in sorrow
when the day of judgement finally comes

It's the end of the world as we know it
and it's only just begun
the eyes of the world are closin' forever
when the day of the judgement will come
won't you help me now

Now tell me mother earth
oh, we went wrong
in the heart of everyone
do you remember how it had begun
in the desert in the twilight of the sun
all dead and gone
can you heal me, I am not the only one
can you feel me, I don't want to be undone
I'm everyone

Save me from this living hell
I don't wanna know another tale
someone help me through this on the way
hear me now

It's the end of the world as we know it
and it's only just begun
the eyes of the world are closin' forever
when the day of the judgement will come
won't you help me now

All gods creation is finally dead and gone
our revelation, the day of the judgement comes
forevermore I stand alone
the final fury has begun
when the day has come

Guardians of the monsters of the earth
take our lives away
and you forever will be cursed
keepers of the darkness in this world
we will not surrender to the evil of your birth

Hope will never die
and the clear blue sunny sky
will ease the pain
guardians of the monsters of the earth

Lead us not into the temptation
save us from the revelations

I stand alone, I stand alone
I stand alone, inside my head

Noone can hear, noone can hear
noone can hear, my little word
holy father, take me on your wings of love
i wish that i could be forever free, oh yeah

It's the end of the world as we know it
the eyes of the world are closin' forever
when the day of the judgement has come
won't you help me now

now all your sinners
this is the prophecy
the revelations of your own destiny
sleep well and dream on
the dream that you have sold
and now my brothers
this world is slowly getting cold

. . .


I don't mind, I don't mind at all
I don't mind to dream a while, I don't mind at all
Every night I'm only waiting for the better dreams in me
Just take me on your wings and guide me
Just take me on a journey far away
I don't mind to fly away to dreamland
The easy way out of a world so cold
I don't mind to say goodbye to all I see around
Only for a while
On our own dream world there's a fortress
It's only waiting to be found
I gaze around and think: This must be magic
Cause there's no limits all around

I don't mind to stay a while in dreamland
So come on now and take me of with you
If together we would fly, for all eternity
I would not refuse
If I had it all I wouldn't mind, my friend
To say goodbye, to feeling free
To stay or leave is just an easy case
Your wings will always come for me

I don't mind to stay a while in dreamland
A place to leave my soul far behind
Together we will fly, thru heaven and thru hell
To no mans land to no mans world

Together we will fly thru all eternity
Only you and me, only you and me
On our way to the land of the free

. . .


I don't believe in fame, I believe in music
I don't believe in money, I believe in the power of love
I know I got a brain and I know how to use it
I don't want no one to stick his finger in my pie

You think you put your best foot forward
But it is moved by someone else
In blind belief you follow every path that says:
I lead you to a universe of fortune, fame and luck.

Do you really wanna be - rich and famous, rich and famous?
Do you really wanna be - rich and famous now?

I don't believe in Rock 'n' Roll illusions
I don't believe that what they say must always be the truth
I don't believe in good guys against bad guys
I just might as well say I believe in Santa Claus

You think you put your best foot forward
But it is moved by someone else
In blind belief you follow every path that says:
I lead you to a universe of fortune, fame and luck

Do you really wanna be - rich and famous, rich and famous?
Do you really wanna be - rich and famous now?

Mr. Big shot, what is your game?
Mr. Big shot, what is your final aim?
Now you wonder who is to blame
Mr. Big shot, what is your final aim in life?

Rich and famous
House with two bars
Big jacuzzi
Car with TV
Private airplane
Furs and diamonds
Seafood cocktails -
CRAP AND BULLSHIT!

Do you really wanna be - rich and famous, rich and famous?
Do you really wanna be - rich and famous now?

. . .


At the end of the dream
If you know where I mean
When the mist just starts to clear
In a similar way
At the end of today
I could feel the sound of writing on the wall

It cries for you
It's the least that you can do
Like a spiral on the wind
I can hear it screaming in my mind

Long live rock'n'roll

In a different time
When the words didn't rhyme
You could never quite be sure
Then on with the change
It was simple but strange
And you knew the feeling seemed to say it all

It cries for you
It's the least that you can do
Like a spiral on the wind
I can hear it screaming in my mind

If you suddenly see
What was happened with me
You should spread the word around
And tell everyone here
That it's perfectly clear
They can sail above it all on what they've found
It cries for you
It's the least that you can do
Like a spiral on the wind
I can hear it screaming in my mind
