Escape To The Heights

Civilisation ending
A mystic silent sound
No more spirits rising
Wasteland all around

Bursting open the wall, no longer down hearted
I am hearing the call, my mind is feeling my heart

Evil eyes around me
No movement on my own
Cannot shake their present
No visions here to roan

Bursting open the wall, no longer down hearted
I am hearing the call, my mind is feeling my heart

Deserted faces crowding me, staring cold ahead
Not conscious of their destiny, my heart won't be lead
I'll escape to the heights, now, now

Yonder in the distance
A glowing ray of light
Escape from isolation
And shadows in the night

I'll escape to the heights, achieving new frontiers
I've a reason to fight, rejecting old values
Leave the darkness behind, I'm feeling my freedom now
 

All Life Is One

I am part of the sun and the sky and the heavens above
Move where the rivers flow fly with the breezes forever
And the earth and the sea and the hills and trees
They're a part of me
All life, all life is one

Bathe in the mountain streams
Run through green meadows and valleys below
And the earth and the sea and the hills and trees
They're a part of me
All life, all life is one

What moves the hands on the clock on the wall?
What makes the rains and the snowflakes fall?

And the pendulum swings so it drives the machines
Nature's force is the source, she's the source of us all

I feel this new found force driving the words from my pen
Here, as I compose my thoughts
Firing my heart as my heart drives the blood
Through my veins
Warmth, feel it babtise my soul

All in rhyme, a verbal possession
All in rhyme, a lyric obsession
There's a force in us all
There's a force drives the blood in my veins
And this force speaks in poetry
 

The Nightriders

Good and bad watch out for the nightriders
At night the streets become their sole domain
There's no escape no matter how you try
Motorcycle flaming eyes

CHORUS:
That's the law now a badge and a gun
Once they were there to defend and to serve
Now controlling everyone
Law enforcement soldiers   men made for war
What was once called justice
Stands unopposed as the law

We warn our children of the nightriders
You might not see them but they're always there
Don't make mistakes for they don't understand
Look into their eyes

CHORUS:
You've been caught now you're trying to run
See an escape but you won't get away
They ask no questions, they reach for the gun
Law enforcement soldiers    men made for war
What was once called justice
Stands unopposed as the law

CHORUS:
From my roof I am watching the scene
See the beams of their lights in the dark
Nightriders patrolling our dreams
Law enforcement soldiers men made for war
What was once called justice
Stands unopposed as the law
 

Follow The Light

A glow on the horizon so near and yet so far
A rich and vivid sunset, the marker of our time
See the light, feel its warmth
See the glow, which fills the sky

A light with magic powers which penetrates my heart
A light which wakes my senses
And sets my thoughts aflame
See the light, feel its warmth
Touch the glow, that fills the mind

Is this the twilight of lifetime's gone before?
Or is the night now over, bringing forth the dawn

As in a raging tempest we hear the thunder cry
We see the trees fall victim see spears of lightning fly

CHOIR: Hear me
HE: Dream or reality?
CHOIR: Hear me
HE: Is someone calling me?

CHOIR:
End your bondage now and throw away your chains
No more hesitation now's the time to change
Leave the road you're on for there's a better way
Be just what you are and let your spirit free

The questions without answers are written on the wall
The pleas of spray-can poets
Who heeds them when they call?

CHOIR: Hear me
HE: Dream or reality?
CHOIR: Hear me
HE: Is someone calling me?

CHOIR:
End your bondage now and throw away your chains
No more hesitation now's the time to change
Leave the road you're on for there's a better way
Be just what you are and let your spirit free

CHORUS:
Follow the light have no fear it won't burn your eyes
Follow the light feel it's never ending
Warmth it can heal the blind

CHORUS:
Follow the light have no fear it won't burn your eyes
Follow the light it's your future you will realize
Follow the light feel its power feel it in your soul
Follow the light it is here it is there it is everywhere
Everywhere you go
 

Rainbow

Life is just like a book so we turn a page
We are caught in a time of furious rage
If you're feeling down
Feels like you will drown: Fly!

On the rainbow
And your dreams will come to life
On the rainbow
You're where no one tells you lies
On the rainbow
Like an eagle you can glide
On the rainbow
Feeling high
HIGH!!!

There's some good to be gained out of this somehow
We had dreams, we had plans, where are they now?
Find your peace of mind
Leave all cares behind: Fly!

On the rainbow
Thousand colours flying by
On the rainbow
Like the master of the skies
On the rainbow
Tears will never fill your eyes
On the rainbow
Feeling high
HIGH!!!

All your efforts to win were in vain, HOW DO YOU FEEL?
No use standing alone in the rain, IS IT STILL REAL?

If you're feeling down
Feels like you will drown: Fly!

On the rainbow
And your dreams will come to life
On the rainbow
You're where no one tells you lies
On the rainbow
Like an eagle you can glide
On the rainbow
Feeling high
HIGH!!!
On the rainbow
Thousand colours flying by
On the rainbow
Like the master of the skies
On the rainbow
Tears will never fill your eyes
On the rainbow
high - HIGH!!!!

(repeat)
 

Voyager Of The future Race

Citizens of the world, rejoice!!
As of today, a new chapter of mankind's history has begun.
We have solved nature's last mystery
it's ultimate secret
and have finally found the key to eternal life.
Not only are you now all equal
you are also a priveleged new generation
chosen to live forever!!!
Welcome to immortality!!!

Behold our world
At last we're all equal
Life and death have now lost their meaning
Time's alive inside of our bodies
'Coz nature's secrets are unveiled so we cry out
Now we've found just what we're all about.

So long ago we searched for an answer
Life and death are now just a status
Look around you'll see a celestial glow

There's a high reward to our days of strife
Now we've found eternal golden life

Deep in your soul you'll feel
doubts setting in
a cry that fills your veins with fear is burning inside
a craving so strong, oh so strong for the real breath of life

I feel my heart beat
the icy hand of wind
brushing my skin in the night
I'm imprisoned inside
a future predestined so far
takes control of my life.

Voyager of the future race
you drew the shorter straw.
Chaos reigns all emotions all around
panic sweeps the mind
and silence rebounds
bouncing back from a far.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The nights are cold and long when you're lonely.
Wake up your mind right now or your wasted.
Times goes by so fast at a steady pace.

So desillusioned for the price we pay is high
don't look down or you might fall.
So be deaf to nature's call
don't think twice and let your mind fly by.
 

Fire And Ice

The values you believe in
the dreams you're living for
once more are shattered by thunder
distorted pictures appear
steered by an evil force
that's slowly dragging you under
a living nightmare wakes
you in the night
you feel the ground crumbling
under your feet
you feel a cold sweat
running down your spine
it leaves you searching
for a secret retreat

Each time you climb a mountain
you see the world below
it's chaos tears you asunder
you try to keep your balance
you try to stay in tune

vibrating senses shaking you inside
a timeless moment spent
recalling your dream

Now your vision is clear
all your doubts dissappear

and you're asking yourself
is this heaven or hell

Like a storm in the night
all emotions alight
and you try to disguise
you feel the fire and ice

Reaching out for your aim
Yet a pawn in a game
while you try to rebel
against heaven and hell

(all?)( in) the moments of strife
on the tight rope of life
and your spirit still cries
torn between fire and ice

In a labyrinth of nightmares
you run an endless race
down a tunnel with no end
while you're running in the darkness

you discover a light
shining so bright
shining bright up ahead
 

Call Of The Wild

Sudden vibes awaken deep inside
Words and sounds that echo in the night
It's like an animal,
it's aboriginal
So unemotional
it's takin over all your senses

Don't be afraid you must obey
the tug of the call of the wild
Deep down you know how to enjoy
feeling the call of the wild
Open the door of the cage
that's been holding you prisoner
and living a lie
and silence follows your cry

Pungent is the danger in the air
vibrant notions reach from everywhere
it seems so natural
So very physical
a little virginal
at last you're tearing down all fences

Don't be afraid you must obey
the tug of the call of the wild
Deep down you know how to enjoy
feeling the call of the wild

Now that you're sharing
the cradle of wisdom
and daring to reach for the skies
a silence follows your cry

It's like an animal,
it's aboriginal
So unemotional
it's taking over all your senses

Don't be afraid you must obey
the tug of the call of the wild
Deep down you know how to enjoy
feeling the call of the wild
don't hesitate no chance to escape
follow the call of the wild
Deep down you know how to enjoy
feeling the call of the wild
it's something that you can't deny
it's ruling all your senses
 

Prisoner In Mind

Information that unw nds
take control of your blinded mind
hypnotised & mesmerised
leave the world behind

Your life is banned by the screen
demanded by the machine
unaware of it's might
visual animation:
a surrogate delight

insane, in vain
flipping like a pin-ball
in a crazy game
so blind, no mind
stepping out of line

The dreams you left a one
have long ago turned to stone
'coz the idol you adore
has no flesh nor bone

Beware you prisoner in mind
Your ruler Creeps from behind
and you won't notice at all
his slow manipulation
at last'll make you fall

Insane, in vain
flipping like a pin ball
In a crazy game
so blind, no mind
tripping in the shadows
stepping out of line
 

Eclipse Of Mankind

Wasted tears of sadness fall
on an acid ground
there's no vision left to realise
self destruction all around

We ignored the danger
all warnings left unheard
to return it's too late
bound to our fate
we feel like a flightless bird

There's no hope, no future
all (our) (true) values slain
meanless words to disperse our fear
empty promises drown in pain

All honest feeling
are caught in chains
we believed all the lies
now pay the price
despair flowing through our reins

In a world of madness
ruled by war and crime
where violence cries
for more sacrifice
quite at home in perverted rhymes

We pray for rescue
but all in vain
no tomorrow for change
for the future is now
as only little time remains
Vanity and pride
brought blindness in strife
true values held in hide
still burning inside
captured in the claws of fear we enter
the eclipse of mankind
