1. Crack The Riddle (Intro)

So you want to be rich and you want to win fame
Your face on a poster immortal your name
So you want a good life on the highest top level
Then bet your soul and turn the wheel
It's gambling with the devil


2. Kill It

[Music & Lyrics: Deris]

I'm your maker
Mold your mind
Idea-creator
Bias from behind

People never wonder
How the world goes round
They who care go under
That's what I'm about

I Kill It, Kill It, Kill It
Kill It, Kill It
Care must die
Kill It, Kill It, Kill It
What we can't tie
What we can't buy
Must die

I'm soul hunter
Of the might
Upright hatemonger
Angel of the blind

People never wonder
How the world goes round
They who care go under
That's what I'm about

I Kill It, Kill It, Kill It
Kill It, Kill It
Care must die
Kill It, Kill It, Kill It

People never wonder
How the world goes round
They who know must follow
They who don't die bound

I pay billions
All got a price
Plain corruption
No roll of the dice

People never wonder
How the world goes round
They who care go under
That's what I'm about

I Kill It, Kill It, Kill It
Kill It, Kill It
Care must die
Kill It, Kill It, Kill It
What we can't tie
What we can't buy
Must die


3. The Saints

[Music & Lyrics: Weikath]

Gimme gimme sell your souls
I skin and strip you bold(ly)
My revenue ain't yours
All means my way, I'm mighty

I clutch what's mine, yours sevenfold
I leave you in the cold
Got all my schemes in place
You stifle in my maze

All you shysters
Seek shelter on the last day
While you laugh loud, disclaiming
As your dire end will come/dawn on you

Ah you..!
Possessed, in your mask, and a dirty heart
Unrest in ye must've been the devil in all of us

The saints are marching again
And harvest souls
Taking every single one

The saints march again
And harmony
Is here, ye can go testify

Don't you dream you're ever safe
I ll get you in your grave
Go molest your heirs with my
sleight of hand attorneys - I

Profit at your dear expense
Cash in, perform my prance
Relinquish and lose what you
toiled for, anyway


4. As Long As I Fall

[Music & Lyrics: Deris]

I close my eyes so I don't have to see
I shut my heart and tell my mind to run and flee

Once I was flying high
I touched the sky

As Long As I Fall
I don't hit the ground
As Long As I Fall
I'm safe and sound
As long as I fly
I sure cannot die
I don't need to hear the call
As Long As I Fall

Would I have time to change reality
I would become the man
The man I could never be

Oh my God please tell me
How to break free
Once I was flying high
I touched the sky

As Long As I Fall
I don't hit the ground
As Long As I Fall
I'm safe and sound
As long as I fly
I sure cannot die
I don't need to hear the call
As Long As I Fall

As Long As I Fall
I got no reason to care
As Long As I Fall
I got no problem to bear
I don't need to bother what I did or did not
I would cry out in pain, but:

As Long As I Fall
I don't hit the ground
As Long As I Fall
I'm safe and sound
I don't need to face
No blame or disgrace
No reason to change at all
As Long As I Fall
I don't hit the ground
As Long As I Fall
I'm safe and sound
As long as I fly
I sure cannot die
I don't need to hear the call
As Long As I Fall


5. Paint A New World

[Music: Gerstner, Lyrics: Gerstner / Weikath]

We all know the feeling, it's frightenin' sometimes
When we catch the news on the radio
Death, war,destruction, limitless pain
All the tears that have been cried

Time is running, years gone by
No one to break the silence
What we do is what we get
We harvest what we've sown

Poles are melting, holes in the sky
Woods are on fire
Scary pollution, our world's gonna die
Look what we do
It's madness

I Paint A New World
Colours of magic are brightenin'
Paint A New World
Moon sun and stars are risin'
I Paint A New World
Magical brushes will lighten
A tame new world
Earthwind, fire and sea

I hear all those voices, I see all the signs
Of killing, rape, forced conformity
Hedonism, decay, deaf dumb and blind
Where do we go from here

Time is running, years gone by
No one to break the silence
What we do is what we get
We harvest what we've sown

Who will wage the next few wars
Wreak havoc on the masses
Politics, religion soaked up with lies
See what we do?
It's madness

I Paint A New World
Colours of magic are brightenin'
Paint A New World
Moon sun and stars are risin'
I Paint A New World
Magical brushes will lighten
A tame new world
Earthwind, fire and sea


6. Final Fortune

[Music & Lyrics: Grosskopf]

We try to force our final fortune
As if we knew the final score
And we pretend to know things better
In our madness we ignore
How small we are
We are

Far above this ignorance
A higher force you'll find
Forever giving answers to the blind

When fate comes calling you
You don't know what to do
Behind the world we're living in
Is so much more than we do know
There's ONE who loves you so
Behind the world we're living in
There's so much more than we will ever get to know

Protecting nations, wealth and soldiers
Collecting fame and victory
Inventing star-ships, tanks and rockets
But still we don't know how to see
The love in our hearts
Our hearts

Far from all this ignorance
A higher force would share
Verity and hope
But we don't care

When fate comes calling you
You don't know what to do
Behind the world we're living in
Is so much more than we do know
There's ONE who loves you so
Behind the world we're living in
There's so much more than we will ever get to know


7. The Bells Of The 7 Hells

[Music & Lyrics: Deris]

Listen to the whisper of the weak and blind
Listen good if you want to learn how to survive
Treasure when you've been chosen to turn water into wine
Never meant for your own
Don't drink it !

We are the hive
We are the people
We ring The Bells Of The 7 Hells
We bear the light
We bear the fire
We ring The Bells Of The 7 Hells

Shiver, you have taken from the poor in greed
Shiver, you betrayed the ones you've sworn to feed
With given power comes responsibility
When you will regret
Don't take it

We are the hive
We are the people
We ring The Bells Of The 7 Hells
We bear the light
We bear the fire
We ring The Bells Of The 7 Hells

Did I keep my vow?
Did I wrong somehow?
Did I stay right on my way?
Have I lied to cover
My precious lover?
My prurience for fame
God help me
God help me

Listen to the breathing of the underground
Listen to the voice that tries to make no sound
Treasure when you've been chosen to turn water into wine
Never meant for your own
Don't drink it !

We are the hive
We are the people
We ring The Bells Of The 7 Hells
We bear the light
We bear the fire
We ring The Bells Of The 7 Hells


8. Fallen To Pieces

[Music & Lyrics: Deris]

Thunder
Rain
My aching mind
Arise from a dream
Step aside
Into the shadows
Brightness
Just borrowed
For too short a time

Why must I die one more time if I try?
Way down I pray but the skies turn to grey
How long lived I waiting?
How long can I vie?

I run high and low
I'm Fallen To Pieces
My heart cried for you
I'm Fallen To Pieces

Say, do you see you're just playing with me?
Way down I flee from your spell and appeal
No more I'll be waiting
No longer I'll vie

I run high and low
I'm Fallen To Pieces
My heart cried for you
I'm Fallen To Pieces

Hold on
Hold on

Lies turn to ties for ill famed and disguised
One day you'll pay and your skies turn to grey

I run high and low
I'm Fallen To Pieces
My heart cried for you
I'm Fallen To Pieces
I died times ago
I'm Fallen To Pieces
Now I rise alone
I'm Fallen To Pieces
Fallen To Pieces


9. I.M.E.

[Music & Lyrics: Deris]

I should not this
I must not that
No matter how I act I must regret
It's not me
It's not me
I got to play
What others say
I got to turn it down when I feel great
That's not me
It's not me

I Am Me
Who do you think you are
To tell me what to be
I Am Me
No matter what you say
Today I keep my way
I Am Me

You make me sick
You make me choke
For me your way of life is just a joke
It's not me
It's not me
I got a face
I got a name
Whatever you perceive is not the same
That I see
It's not me

I Am Me
Who do you think you are
To tell me what to be
I Am Me
No matter what you say
Today I keep my way
I Am Me

I got to change this
To rearrange this
Start writing onto my own pages
It's just me
It's just me
It's just me

I Am Me
Who do you think you are
To tell me what to be
I Am Me
No matter what you say
Today I keep my way
I Am Me
How grave you think you are
To tell me what to be
I Am Me
You better creep away
Today I'm on my way
I Am Me


10. Can Do It

[Music & Lyrics: Weikath]

When you feel weak
When you feel small
I tell you theres a beast inside you yet unknown
When times get rough
And you're being played
(You) y' ain't gonna flinch or run away cry like a babe

I say that you'd be so surprised seeing what is in for you
If after all you'd still deny it theres nothing I can do
listen up...
come along...

Well you can do it
There's nothing to it
When all others turn their backs on you
There is still yourself to prove it to that

You can do it
There's nothing to it
If the whole damn world abandoned you
You're the only one worth listening to

So, come one come on come on...
come on come on -Get on...

Now look at you
Wearing a crown
Having achieved now all your dreams in just one go
What did I say?
You got it made
Still pondering on the spiteful things of long ago?
-no!
I said that you'd be so surprised seeing what is in for you
Now after all that has been done you know what you can do
listen up...
come along...


11. Dreambound

[Music: Gerstner, Lyrics: Gerstner / Weikath]

I'm running on a dusty road
The evil one behind me
I hear his breath and turn around
There's no place left to hide here

Wanna break the chains of fear
There's no way back
Your whisper in my ear
Your touch will save me again

You'll change my dream
You'll guide my way to be
You are the light
You turn black into white
You'll change my dream
You'll bring reality
You shine so bright
You turn black into white

I've lost my soul in the game he plays
No doubt that he won't spare me
Hunting me, trapped in his chase
Subject to violation

I'm afraid to fall asleep
Whether day and night
But once I'm there in my dreams
You'll come to save me again

You'll change my dream
You'll guide my way to be
You are the light
You turn black into white
You'll change my dream
You'll bring reality
You shine so bright
You turn black into white

You'll change my dream
You'll steer my way to be
You are the light
You turn black into white
You'll change my dream
You'll bring reality
You are the light
First star I see tonight


12. Heaven Tells No Lies

[Music & Lyrics: Grosskopf]

I could go a step ahead and try
Harder than before but I deny
Always when I try a step
Something's gonna hold me back
Back to where I started
I just bump my head instead
Better leave me here all on my own
Better leave me or become my clone
Everyone who grabbed my hand
Fell into the same wasteland
Don't try to convince me with your optimistic smile

I'd need a shotgun in my dreams tonight
To terminate my rotten side
Just need one shot into the center of my hate
To light the darkness and run free
From that old spell

I don't know if hell or paradise
Belong together or if Heaven Tells No Lies
You role the dice
You know the price is higher than you can afford
Beware of what you might see
Can you trust your blinded eyes?
I don't know if Heaven Tells No Lies

Black is white and colours turn to grey
What was close is drifting far away
Just now right's already wrong
What turns weak was never strong
Can I kill the daemon without blowing out my mind?

I'd need a shotgun in my dreams tonight
To terminate my rotten side
Just need one shot into the center of my hate
To light the darkness and run free
From that old spell

I don't know if hell or paradise
Belong together or if Heaven Tells No Lies
You role the dice
You know the price is higher than you can afford
Beware of what you might see
Can you trust your blinded eyes?
I don't know if Heaven Tells No Lies

I will return
You have to burn
Abide my vision, you no longer keep me bound
I will be back
I will attack
In my religion I will make you hell hound drown


13. Find My Freedom

[Limited edition bonus track]

[Markus Grosskopf]

Why you come tonight to take my live?
I know one day it's time to go
Why don't you give me one more chance?
I know that I can try to die another time
Don't wait for me, I'm gonna stay
Because there's much more to get clear

You are always on time
Patiently you wait for me
But you know I'm always too late
Try another day

I don't know where to go
When the time has come for me
Is it heaven or hell?
Well you'll tell me again
Tell I know what to do
In the endless shades of space
Is it heaven or hell?
You will tell me again
To find my freedom

Hey, come on
Go date an other mate
I bade you once ago to go
But now you're back too soon again
You said that I could pay
When all my fear would stay away
Instead my life is high and dry
I'm still afraid to die

You are always on time
Patiently you wait for me
But you know I'm always too late
Come another day

I don't know where to go
When the time has come for me
Is it heaven or hell?
Well you'll tell me again
Tell I know what to do
In the endless shades of space
Is it heaven or hell?
You will tell me again
To find my freedom
Everlasting freedom


14. See The Night

[Limited edition bonus track]

Born into a neighborhood that ain't exactly rich
Never knew his father and his mother was a bitch
Oh no
Didn't have a place to go

Grown up in the streets
He learned to take just what he needs
Violence and crime the only answer he believes
Oh no
Your emotions you don't show

How can you ever give up
When you never were scared?
How can you ever forgive
Without learning to blame?

See the night
That's where you're living
Feel the dark
That seems to follow you
See the stars
I see you crying
See the stars
You wished that one of them just shines for you
After you're gone

Unemployed and full of hate
You're dealing with cocaine
One day you will end up with a needle in your brain
Oh no
As you slowly go insane

How can you ever be good
When you don't see a reason?
How can you trust an old friend
When you don't even care for one?

See the night
That's where you're living
Feel the dark
That seems to follow you
See the stars
I see you crying
See the stars
You wished that one of them just shines for you
After you're gone

All you know is what you see
You see society is treating you bad
No more visions, no more hope
Your future is a cold, cold cell
I send you to hell

Falling so deep into darkness
Crawling so deep in the dark
Give me a chance to regret what I've done
Only if I can explain

See the night
That's where you're living
Feel the dark
That seems to follow you
See the stars
I see you crying
See the stars
You wished that one of them just shines for you
After you're gone
