1. I Seek No Other Life
(breed, Grapow, Stauch, Lochert, Hindinger, Vacik)
No promises hold me now
No time and no place is announced
The thousands that worry how
They're simply obsessed with their plans
Inside the walls come down
Outside the rains fall down
I've told you a thousand times
The time and the place must be now
My friends let's not worry how
We simply let rip at their plans
Inside the walls come down
Outside the rains fall down
I live today, I live tonight,
I stand alone and I alone decide what's right
So when tonight has come
Just when the hunt is on
I seek no other life
No promises hold me now
No time and no place is announced
My friend let's not worry how
We simply let rip at their plans
2. High And Low
(breed, Grapow, Stauch, Lochert, Hindinger, Vacik)
I have feared life enough to hide in sorrow
I have lived most my life inside my mind
I always thought there'd be time come tomorrow
I'd find you friend and to this end
I'd start my life and go
High and low, high and low
Now I'm here, life is clearly light and shadow
Nothing can stop me from leaving now
The darkness starts to fade
Now I'm told there's no tomorrow
Nowhere left to go, nowhere left to go
High and low
You can be given too much time
I may be leaving soon but I'm sure to remember
You can believe me when I say
No one will listen when you pray
No one receiving
High and low
Now I'm sure there's no tomorrow
Nowhere left to go, nowhere left to go
Now I'm receiving
3. Sealing My Fate
(breed, Grapow, Stauch, Lochert, Hindinger, Vacik)
You and I were worlds apart but here we are
Like a night awaiting storm, we know we are
Meant to walk beside the beast with hollow hearts
Left to brave a night of stars
Trailing behind I kept eye on a sky
Painted in tears and the blood of the fallen
Line after line of this endless detail
Facing the storm of the dreams they have stolen
Follow them blindly, you'll die
This night will decide where our company lies
Follow them blindly, you'll die
Sealing my fate
I volunteer and now I drift among the stars
They said they'd meet us here to turn the final key
Silent we glide through this star-studded night
Facing the years and the paths we have chosen
Night after night and we know it prevails
Line after line and the faces are frozen
Follow them blindly, you'll die
This night will decide where your destiny lies
Follow them blindly, you'll die
4. Temple of the Sun
(breed, Grapow, Stauch, Lochert, Hindinger, Vacik)
instrumental
5. Akhenaton
(breed, Grapow, Stauch, Lochert, Hindinger, Vacik)
Rising in the desert, a temple of the sun
I am forgiving, so come to me, city in the sun
Dancing shadows stir the night
Powers move and shift and I'll rise again
With the passing of time
Like the ever-breathing Nile
I shall rise again
Like the stars, the moon, the sun
When all seasons come undone
I shall rise again
Lift your eyes and see I hold the blackened sky
To wake the sun and welcome morning
And when you see the magic light brings to your eyes
You know I was, I am... and, oh, I shall become, I shall become
Tell me you're the son of the son
Akhenaton
6. My Mysic Mind
(breed, Grapow, Stauch, Lochert, Hindinger, Vacik)
Ten times the time it took to open up my mind
Is the time I've lived without myself as I let the inside out
And now I see me everywhere, yet every time I turn
The mirror changes faces and the faces always tell me
You dream - you hurt, life is twice divided
We live and yearn to fill the void inside
You dream to learn that fate is undecided
But live and learn nothing's on your side
Some say I had it coming all along
Some say it's everywhere and nothing's ever wrong
My mystic mind twists my dreams and turns
Tells me I will burn, tells me I will burn
Ten times the madness grows and it beckons all along
Familiar faces everywhere but their names are all so wrong
I love the word intention, an extension of the soul
And though I find I'm losing mine I intend to save you all
7. Trail of Murder
(breed, Grapow, Stauch, Lochert, Hindinger, Vacik)
Out in the desert the sun and burning sand
I left your message now I hold out both my hands
As you just shake your head I know it's understood
You never listen, but I say I think you should
Some lie! Some lie!
Cover up a trail of murder
This operation, so bold yet still sublime
Around, around
Tailor-made to suit your purpose
Don't believe what you've been told
We've nothing left at all
Stone cold and reckless, messiah's burning land
I got your message, got it holed up in my hands
It's all just shake'n'bake, I hope it's understood
Some never listen, but I say I think you should
Shards and splinters in my soul
Bloody trail of murder
Still you think you're in control
But this trail goes further
8. As Daylight Breaks
(breed, Grapow, Stauch, Lochert, Hindinger, Vacik)
I'm sorry dear, I know I've failed you once again
Tell me what's this truth that can't be told?
I can't go on, it is not what it used to be
It's just life you know, I've lost the dream
The feeble fire of a broken soul
Life expires, it flickers in the cold
All this seems so never ending
Drifting with the wind
The writing's on the wall
As Daylight Breaks
A thousand fallen angels shed their tears in vain
Against the wind the march goes on
When I'm alone I cry and hope that you're ok
I know what I should do but always fail
Words won't help you and the guilt is mine to bear
I see my bitter end, my love, this love won't change
And as the days grow dark
As hope gives way to night
A darkness settles over me
Just one shred left of light
This love...
All this seems so never ending
Whispers with the wind
The writing's on the wall
As Daylight Breaks
A thousand fallen angels spread their wings and soar
Into the wind, till they fall
And feel the fire burning in their souls
To find desire, a treasure in the cold
All this seems so never ending
Whispers with the wind
The writing's on the wall
As Daylight Breaks
A thousand fallen angels spread their wings and sing
Of hope that soars, as daylight breaks
9. Setting Fire To The Earth
(breed, Grapow, Stauch, Lochert, Hindinger, Vacik)
Tell me what I see here, cause I'm lost, looking for a future
For a time I saw it clearly and we nearly had it all
But now it's gone and I can see us failing
They've been watching, they've been waiting
They've been biding their time
So when the lights go out you'd better run
Nothing you can do here son just run
Live to fight another day tomorrow
Fight for all you're worth
But now you run
Somewhere down the line you'll find the one
Somewhere in the past you find the order
Setting fire, setting fire to the earth
There's no time, believe me
But I'm here back in time to help you
There's a time to make a statement
There's a time to set things straight
10. Listen To The Storm
(breed, Grapow, Stauch, Lochert, Hindinger, Vacik)
Come share the night with me and dream of home
Alive at least a nightmare ending
Somewhere in the darkness there's a place for us
Distant past, forgotten future waiting now to talk to you, talk to you
Today you open your mind and hear it talk to you
This storm is yours to find
Let it talk to you, listen to the storm
Stay, listen to the storm inside of me
When I'm alone it rages strong and I'm afraid
There's something wrong I can't make right
Listen to the storm and tell me I can talk to you, talk to you
Today you open your mind and hear it talk to you
This storm is yours to find
Let it talk to you, listen to the storm
Somewhere in the darkness there's a place for us
Listen to the storm, then brave the dark
No one lives forever, yet you carry on
Night after night after night after night until dawn
11. Older And Wiser
(breed, Grapow, Stauch, Lochert, Hindinger, Vacik)
Don't like society?
Then you can't help but see
You've rabid dogs upon your heels
Not feeling like the rest?
Just take another test
Gauge each emotion that you feel
Keep in mind, 9 out of 10 ain't bad
Trapped in bureaucracy
Or lost in ecstasy?
No matter which I'm sure you'll yearn
To learn that heresy
And acts of God an me
Are machinations of this world
Keep in mind, 9 out of 10 ain't bad
What do you do when all that's coming down on you
Says that you're older - you're older
And every day you see the lines on every face
And you feel older but none the wiser
Enraged by apathy
Cold hearts in atrophy
A generation quite disturbed
The iron curtain fell
Now life's a private hell
Perpetually unperturbed
Tell me it's true - why don't you?
Tell me it's true as we grow older we should grow bolder
Tell me it's true 'cause I would love to be like you
Older and wiser, too
