I'm Alive (3:23)
(Hansen)
You, you say, you have lost the way
Got no aim, just livin' for today
Look up to the sky above
And see the morning sun again
You got so much power inside
So cry it out my friend
Chorus
I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive, I'm alive
There's no use in hangin' all around
You're a king, can't you see your crown
Look into my eyes
So many things are waiting to be done
You just need a friend
Together we will sing along
Chorus
(Solo)
(Kai/Harmony both/Melody Kai)
Look into my eyes
So many things are waiting to be done
You just need a friend

Chorus
A Little Time (3:59)
(Kiske)
Higher
It's what I expect from my Life
It's like a wire
That holds me back down to the ground
Oh, I hear you say
"That is the way of the world"
No, hear what I say
"I wanna do so much in my way"
Higher
I've set my limits and bounds
There's a fire
It's burning so hot in my head
Oh, I hear you say
"That is the way of the world"
No, hear what I say
"I wanna do so much in my way"
Chorus
We got
A little time to build up your lives
A little time to make up our minds
A little time to fill up our dreams
A little time, time

Chorus
(Solo Licks Kai)
Twilight of the Gods (4:29)
(Hansen)
(Melody Solo Kai)
Insania 20 14
We've thrown away our former gods
Controlling our day
We have created better ones
So we control the way
We are the ones with the power
To hold down the enemy
Our gods are perfection
And they are protecting our lives
We still need some more of them
To be safe from the other side
As long as we're stronger
Nothing will happen to us
Fireflash in the night
Just an evil dream
Holy war in the sky. . . .never
Insania 20 16
Error in store 103
We watch the sun at night
The pretty gods we've built ourselves
Now terminate our lives
Silicon brain powered voices
Are crying "attack" tonight
In anger, burning our world
Doomsday has come
And there is no place to hide away
The future is over
And there is no turning back
Fireflash in the night
Now reality
Holy war in the sky. . . .
Chorus
Twilight of the gods
Insania's dead and gone
Another world was born
But the twilight soon will come
(Solo)
(Mike/Harmony both/Kai)
Fireflash in the night
Now reality
Holy war in the sky
Chorus
A Tale That Wasn't Right (5:15)
(Weikath)
Here I stand all alone
Have my mind turned to stone
Have my heart filled up with ice
To avoid it's breakin' twice
Thanx to you, my dear old friend
But you can't help, this is the end
Of a tale that wasn't right
I won't have no sleep tonight
Chorus
In my heart, in my soul
I really hate to pay this toll
Should be strong, young and bold
But the only thing I feel is pain
It's alright, we'll stay friends
Trustin' in my confidence
And let's say it's just alright
You won't sleep alone tonight
Chorus
(Solo)
(Mike)
With my heart, with my soul
Some guys cry you bought and sold
They've been strong, young and bold
And they say, play this song again
Chorus
(Solo Licks Mike)
Future World (4:02)
(Hansen)
If you're out there all alone
And you don't know where to go to
Come and take a trip with me to Future World
And if you're running through your life
And you don't know what the sense is
Come and look how it could be, in Future World
We all live in happiness our life is full of joy
We say the word "tomorrow" without fear
The feeling of togetherness is always at our side
We love our life and we know we will stay
Chorus
Cause we all live in Future World
A world that's full of love
Our future live will be glorious
Come with me--Future World
You say you'd like to stay,
But this is not your time
Go back, find your own way to Future World
Life can be for living
Just try and never give in
Tell everyone the way of Future World
One day you'll live in happiness
With a heart that's full of joy
You'll say the word "tomorrow" without fear
The feeling of togetherness will be at your side
You'll say you love your life and you'll know why
Chorus
(Solo both/Kai/both)
Scream it out
Chorus
Halloween (13:18)
(Hansen)
Masquerade, masquerade
Grab your mask and don't be late
Get out get out well disguised
Heat and fever in the air tonight
Meet the others at the store,
Knock on other people's door
Trick or treat they have the choice,
Little ghosts are makin' lotsa noise
But watch out. . .beware--listen. . .take care
Chorus
In the streets on Halloween
There's something going on
No way to escape the power unknown
In the streets on Halloween
The spirits will arise
Make your choice, it's hell or paradise
Ah--it's Halloween
Ah--it's Halloween. . .tonight!
Someone's sitting in a field,
Never giving yield
Sitting there with gleaming eyes,
Waiting for big pumpkin to arise
Bad luck if you get a stone,
Like the good old Charlie Brown
You think Linus could be right
The kids will say it's just a stupid lie
But watch out. . .beware--listen. . .take care
Chorus
Listen now--we are calling you. . .
And there is magic in the air
(Solo Kai)
Magic in the air. . .on Halloween
Black is the night full of fright
You'll be missing the day
What will be here very soon
Changing your way
a knock at your door
Is it real or is it a dream
On trembling legs you open the door
And you scream. . . .on Halloween
(Solo Kai/Mike/Kai/Mike)
Darkness
Where am I now
Is there anybody out there
What has happened
Am I in heaven
Or is it hell
I can see a light comin'
It's comin' nearer
It's shining
It's shining so bright
It's shining on me
(Solo Kai/Mike/Rhythm change Mike/Kai/Mike/Kai)
I am the one, doom's in my hands
Now make your choice,
Redeemed or enslaved
I'll show you passion and glory
He is the snake
I'll give you power and abundance
He's the corrupter of man
Save me from the evil one
Give me strength to carry on
I will fight for all mankind's
Deliverance and peace of mind
(Harmony Solo both)
But watch out. . .beware--listen. . .take care
Chorus
Yeah, it's Halloween
(Solo Licks Kai)
Yeah, it's Halloween. . .tonight
Follow the Sign (1:46)
(Hansen/Weikath)
(Guitar Kai)
Now that you've made your choice
Follow the sign
Did you make your choice?
You're the keeper of the seven keys
Our only hope's your victory
So follow the signMaster of the Rings
Invitation (1:06)
(Music: M. Weiketh / Arranged by Tommy Hansen)
(Instrumental)
Eagle Fly Free (5:08)
(Music + lyrics: M. Weikath)
People are in big confusion
they don't like their constitutions
Everyday they draw conclusions
And they're still prepared for war
Some can say what's ineffective
Some make up themselves attractive
Build up things they call protective
Well your life seems quite bizarre
Bridge: In the sky a mighty eagle
Doesn't care 'bout what's illegal
On its wings the rainbow's light
It's flying to eternity
Chorus: Eagle fly free
Let people see
Just make it your own way
Leave time behind
Follow the sign
Together we'll fly someday
Hey, we think so supersonic
And we make our bombs atomic
Or the better quite neutronic
But the poor don't see a dime
Nowadays the air's polluted
Ancient people persecuted
That's what mankind contributed
To create a better time
Bridge: In the sky a mighty eagle
Doesn't care 'bout what's illegal
On its wings the rainbow's light
It's flying to eternity
Chorus: Eagle fly free
Let people see
Just make it your own way
Leave time behind
Follow the sign
Together we'll fly someday
(Solos: Kai/both/Markus/Mike/Ingo)
You Always Walk Alone (5:08)
(Music + lyrics: M. Kiske)
(Solo: both)
When I hold the key to open heaven's door
I will never make the mistake and give it back
When I hold the key to open my mind before it's too late
I will never give it back
Bridge: There's just one way I see
The way I think it's right for me
You say to me I will repent what I do
If it's right I'll stop before
When I see the light of sun will fade away
And I reveal what I have loved before
It's too late when I can't see the hours I pay
And I reveal what I have loved before
Bridge: There's just one way I see
The way I think it's right for me
You say to me I will repent what I do
If it's right I'll stop before
Chorus: The life I try to give is
All I have inside of me
It's one kind of life for me
This music you hear
The strength we have inside is
So much more than you will know
But if you can't see the life around
You'll always walk alone
(Solo: Kai/Mike)
Look at the drunk man, look into his eyes
See his strong hands
But tomorrow they will tremble cold as ice
See the drunk man, try to ask him why
He will laugh, and tomorrow he will tell you another lie
There's a fight in his head he cannot win
Getting stronger, makes him mad, burning sin
You--you cannot hide
You--you cannot describe your feelings inside
(Solo: Mike/Kai)
Chorus: The life I try to give is
All I have inside of me
It's one kind of life for me
This music you hear
The strength we have inside is
So much more than you will know
But if you can't see the life around
You'll always walk alone
Rise and Fall (4:20)
(Music + lyrics: M. Weikath)
Once a singer sang 'bout bullshit
Everyone could see him fall
And be sure it's been his last hit
He's never been seen at all
Some dictator felt progressive
And lay down in the sun
But his people were aggressive
They killed him with a gun
Bridge: Sometimes you're wrong
By some things you have done
You see fate is too strong
Nothing's won
No use for a fight
If you're not acting right
You'll be cut down to size
Like a lie
Chorus: It's the rise and fall
The prize for all
That ain't nice at all
Luck is like a ball
You can't recall or care at all
So better use your brain
A little dragon could spit fire
But never so for something bad
He didn't know the knight's desire
To throw a lance into his head
Romeo loved his Juliet
Their parents told them "Stop"
Then it all turned out peculiar
He couldn't get it up
Bridge: And it's all in vain
When you're living with pain
Reap not goods you have grown
By your own
Feelings you like
Disappear overnight
You sip up every grin
Free to win
Chorus: It's the rise and fall
The prize for all
That ain't nice at all
Luck is like a ball
You can't recall or care at all
You nearly go insane
(Solo: both/Kai/Mike)
A spaceman flies the rocket
That takes him to the stars
Thinks his wife is in his pocket
But she's strolling 'round in bars
The king of Los Angeles
Bought himself a teddy bear
And the queen became shameless
She did it with a chair
Bridge: Sometimes you're wrong
By some things you have done
You see fate is too strong
Nothing's won
No use for a fight
If you're not acting right
You'll be cut down to size
Like a lie
Chorus: It's the rise and fall
The prize for all
That ain't nice at all
Luck is like a ball
You can't recall or care at all
So better use your brain
Dr. Stein (5:03)
(Music + lyrics: M. Weikath)
Once they killed his monster when it went into a trap
Now he's making better ones on a higher step
Bridge: On a warm summer day the doctor went away
To a place where he could make it real
His assistant's hips were nice
So he cloned her once or twice
Now his hips are aching what a deal
Chorus: Dr. Stein grows funny creatures
Lets them run into the night
They become great rock musicians
And their time is right
Sometimes when he's feeling bored
He's calling it a day
He's got his computers and they do it their own way
Bridge: They mix some DNA, some skina and a certain spray
You can watch it on a laser screen
And the fellow's blue and grey
Or sometimes pink and green
Just check it out on Halloween
Chorus: Dr. Stein grows funny creatures
Lets them run into the night
They become great politicians
And their time is right
(Solo: Mike/Kai/Mike/Kai)
Bridge: One night he cloned himself
Put his brother on a shelf
But when he fell asleep that night
It crept up from behind and thought "well never mind"
Took a syringe and blew out his life
Chorus: Dr. Stein grows funny creatures
Lets them run into the night
They become a great possession
And their time is right
Chorus: Dr. Stein grows funny creatures
Lets them run into the night
They become a great oppression
And their time is right
We Got The Right (5:07)
(Music + lyrics: M. Kiske)
Don't turn your head
Back to the wall
Don't close your eyes
And wait for your fall
If you believe that you know in this time
You've got anything to win
If you believe that you know
Then I say, "You'll lose all again"
Bridge: In this time there's nothing to get for you
You cannot really do what you want
You're a child, a prisoner in your mind
You are a victim of this hopeless time
You better believe all you do has a sense
It's not for nothing
You better believe all the troubles you have
Will play you someday
Bridge: Why don't you help yourself and do the best
Put all the bombs back up their builders' ass
Why don't you stand up to say who you are
To show the people that paradise is not far
Chorus: Oh, can't you see we got the right
To look into the future without no need to hide
No, we won't accept what you do
We stand up 'cause we're not the people you can abuse
Oh, can't you see we got the right
To say we are here to see the light
No, we don't wanna lose all again
Stand up, you people, to save the world
As good as you can
(Solo: both)
We are credulous idiots
And won't understand what they plan
We march with the times
It's what they expect and we do
Why don't you open your eyes
To undercover all of these lies
I think you won't accept this
Go oppose with your fist
Fight for your rights
Chorus: Oh, can't you see we got the right
To say we are here to see the light
No, we don't wanna lose all again
Stand up, you people, to save the world
As good as you can
No, we don't wanna lose all again
Stand up, you people, to save the world
As good as you can
Save Us (5:12)
(Music + lyrics: K. Hansen)
Too late to call for the priest
He is not here anymore
We look at the age of the beast
And we've seen its vast armies form
Hear our call
Chorus: Please, save us
Please, save us
In permanent madness we live
No time for life and for love
To take is the rule, not to give
Insanity comes from below
To take us all
Chorus: Please, save us
Please, save us
We believe that the phenomena of nature
Are the expression of infinitive intelligence
We express our belief that all forms of life
Are manifestations of spirit
And thus, all men are children of God
Far from down below one comes prepared to take us all
Waiting for his future and the final call
(Solo: Both/Kai/Mike/Both)
We stand on the edge of the world
Just one step more and we fall
Guide us and please take our hands
Without you we're weak and alone
Hear our call
Chorus: Please, save us
Please, save us
Now!
(Solo licks: Kai)
Save us--from the gods of thunder
Save us--from the dogs of war
Save us--from the creeping nightmares
Save us--from the evil's course
Save us--from our own ignorance
Save us--from the man in black
Save us--from the desolation
Save us--from the hate attack
Save us--oh please
Save us--please save us
Save us--oh please
Save us--now!
March Of Time (5:12)
(Music + lyrics: Kai Hansen)
(Solo: Kai)
Hours of lust, hours of tears passing by before my eyes
Today, tomorrow, yesterday...one life
Days of joy, day of sadness come and go to pass me by
A month, a year, one hundred years, they fly
Bridge: Ohh, one day I will be gone to lead another life
Ohh, and this world will stop to turn around with me
'Cause
Chorus: Time...marches
Time...marches
On without us all, never stops, yes
Time...marches
Time...marches
On and on and on, flies eternally
Times of peace, times of fights, constant movement is our life
Can't stop no more, not until...we die
We long for more...eternity, and maybe there's another life
This one is short, no matter how you try
Bridge: Ohh, but never give up all the hope to lead a good life
No, don't waste your given time to make things worse
Chorus: Time...marches
Time...marches
One without us all, never stops, yes
Time...marches
Time...marches
On and on and on, flies eternally
(Solo: Kai/Michael/Both)
Plese, please help me see, the best way to be
Make a change and we, live eternally
No more wasted years, no more wasted tears
Life's too short to cry, long enough to try
Chorus: Time...marches
Time...marches
On without us all, never stops, yes
Time...marches
Time...marches
On and on and on, flies eternally
I Want Out (4:39)
(Music + lyrics: K. Hansen)
From our lives' beginning on
We are pushed in little forms
No one asks us how we like to be
In school they teach you what to think
But everyone says different things
But they're all convinced that
They're the ones to see
Bridge: So they keep talking and they never stop
And at a certain point you give it up
So the only thing that's left to think is this
Chorus: I want out--to live my life alone
I want out--leave me be
I want out--to do things on my own
I want out--to live my life and to be free
People tell me A and B
They tell me how I have to see
Things that I have seen already clear
So they push me then from side to side
They're pushing me from black to white
They're pushing 'til there's nothing more to hear
Bridge: But don't push me to the maximum
Shut your mouth and take it home
'Cause I decide the way things gonna be
Chorus: I want out--to live my life alone
I want out--leave me be
I want out--to do things on my own
I want out--to live my life and to be free
There's a million ways to see the things in life
A million ways to be the fool
In the end of it, none of us is right
Sometimes we need to be alone
(Solo: Kai/Both)
No no no, leave me alone
Chorus: I want out--to live my life alone
I want out--leave me be
I want out--to do things on my own
I want out--to live my life and to be free
Keeper Of The Seven Keys (13:38)
(Music + lyrics: M. Weikath)
Make the people
Hold each other's hands
And fill their hearts with truth
You made up your mind
So do as divined
Put on your armour
Ragged after fights
Hold up your sword
You're leaving the light
Make yourself ready
For the lords of the dark
They'll watch your way
So be cautious, quiet and hark
You hear them whispering
In the crowns of the trees
You're whirling 'round
But your eyes don't agree
Will'o'the wisps
Misguiding your path
You can't throw a curse
Without takin' their wrath
Bridge: Watch out for the seas of hatred and sin
Or all us people forget what we've been
Our only hope's your victory
Kill that Satan who won't let us be--kill!
Chorus: You're the Keeper of the Seven Keys
That lock up the seven seas
And the Seer of Visions sais before he went blind
Hide them from demons and rescue mankind
Or the world we're all in will soon be sold
To the thone of the evil payed with Lucifer's gold
You can feel cold sweat
Running down your neck
And the dwarfs of falseness
Throw mud at your back
Guided by spells
Of the old Seer's hand
You're suffering pain
Only steel can stand
Bridge: Stay well on your way and follow the sign
Fulfull your own promise and do what's divined
The seven seas are far away
Placed in the valley of dust heat and sway
Chorus: You're the Keeper of the Seven Keys
That lock up the seven seas
And the Seer of Visions said before he went blind
Hide them from demons and rescue mankind
Or the world we're all in will soon be sold
To the throne of the evil payed with Lucifer's gold
Throw the first key into the sea of hate
(Solo: Mike/Kai)
Throw the second key into the sea of fear
Throw the third key into the sea of senselessness
And make the people hold each other's hands
The fourth key belongs into the sea of greed
And the fifth into the sea of ignorance
Disease, disease, disease my friend
For this whole world's in devil's hand
Disease, disease, disease my friend
Throw the key or you may die
(Solo: Kai/Mike/Kai/Mike)
On a mound at the shore of the last sea
He is sitting, fixing your sight
With his high iron voice causing sickness
He is playing you out with delight
"Man who do you just think you are?
A silly bum with seven stars
Don't throw the key or you will see
Dimensions cruel as they can be"
Don't let him suck off your power
Throw the key...!
(Solo: both/Kai/Mike/Kai/Mike)
An earthquake, squirting fire, bursting ground
Satan's screaming, and earth swallowing him away!
Chorus: You're the Keeper of the Seven Keys
You locked up the seven seas
And the Seer of Visions can now rest in peace
There ain't no more demons and no more disease
And, mankind, live up, you're free again
Yes the tyrant is dead, he is gone, overthrown
You have given our souls back to light
The Master of the Rings
Release Date:1994
Having ended a long journey continuously fighting hate, resistance
and fear, The Keeper of the Seven Keys returns home the glorious victor
the ever dark powers. His armour and sword have become ragged and stained
by the tolls of his journey, he bears an appearance of utter exhaustion
and
sadness, betrayed only by his sparkling eyes.</p>
The patron through space and time, the Seer of Visions has been blinded
after the Keeper's outset for the evil valley, but had nevertheless
been on
hand for him. He feels his servant's presence and steps outside his
mountain retreat to welcome the victorious fighter home.</p>
"Thou knowest it hath been a long and hard struggle", the Seer lifts
his
voice, "And I feared we could not withstand the evil forces ready to
destroy
us, but thy spirit is purest goodness and thou hast defeated the
beast."
"As a reward and a further duty, I will now unveil seven heavenly rings
from this shell."
"They embody Spirit, Thruth, Destiny, Love, Creation, Fulfillment and
Sanctuary."
"They may appear only humble, but they will establish the priciples
of
existence that thy victory hast allowed."
"Every soul will be given freedom of thought and will, but every soul
will
have to bend to the Law of Principles called Reality, although created
in
different dimensions in different times, but meeting at the same point
in
space and time. Judgement will be fulfilled when no mind will be expecting
it."
"These rings have been forged so that they mayest only be consecrated
by thy
hand. Hurry, for many souls await ressurection!"
The Keeper does as he is told, his hands meet the metal of each golden
ring.
Suddenly, in an outburst of light, the rings ascend slowly, vibrate
faster
and faster, dissolve in a high screeching clamour, fade into a misty
swirl
and within the blink of an eye, disappear.
The Keeper stands alone...

Sole Survivor (4:33)
(Weikath / Deris)
I got that fever
Burning my head
So many memories
No tear to shed
Burns like a fire
Who stole my aims?
My comrade fighters
Been sent astray
How could I know
What others had in mind for me?
How would they know
What measures I take?
Sole survivor
Of a kill without alert sing
your feelings out
Your song remains unheard
Sole survivor
We shared like brothers
A light in the black
Totally blended
Bold and erect
But we've grown intriguers
Till it's too late
Time has brought fire
Fear, greed and hate
Now I'm cryin'
Shattered on the ground
All I find
Has died anyway
Sole survivor
Of a kill without alert
Sing your feelings out
Your song remains unheard
Sole survivor
Got a voice without a sound
Mean mistreaters
Took away your ground
Sole survivor
SOLO
Sole survivor...
Where The Rain Grows (4:46)
(Weikath / Deris)
I never looked higher
Than I could see
Never gave less
Than I have given me
The more you have taken
You turned into fakes
I finally know now
Why, for heavens' sake?
Don't tell me you did not see
that I cried
Don't act so deaf and blind
Don't think that if someone's
made dumb to the core
He would stay like before
So I take my life
Back from where the rain grows
Die to survive
Back from where the rain grows
Now you call me liar
'cause you are just the
"Always-have-right-fools-majority"
I think that if someone
starved at your side
You'd all turn your back
Won't give any dime
Don't tell me you did not see
that I cried
Don't act so deaf and blind
Don't think that if someone's
made sad to the core
He would stay like before
So I take my life
Back from where the rain grows
Die to survive
Back from where the rain grows
SOLO
So I take my life
Back from where the rain grows
Die to survive
Back from where the rain grows
I know where the rain grows
I'm Back from where the rain grows
Why? (4:11)
(Deris)
Father, it's time
Have a heart for your
child who cries in pain
Not a new sign
But a strike that'll
blow those fools away
Open your eyes
If you've got any you
just look for too long
a time
They spit on your name
Doin' everything
darnned as highest
crime
They believe they could
walk on the water
Playin `Godsleep with
the devils' daughter
Killed your son and
might kill mine
But you don't mind
Why, Lord, why
Tell me why
In these lonely days
I'd need your answer
There's a reason why
How could you fail?
Still it's time, turn
the black into the light
Why do you wait?
Do you look down and
laugh at what you find?
Can't you see they are
mistreating their
daughters
They believe they could
walk on the waters
They killed your son
and might kill mine
But you don't mind
Why, Lord, why
Tell me why
In these lonely days
I'd need your answer
There's a reason why
Why, Lord, why
Tell me why
Your the only light
forever lasting
Tell me father, why
SOLO
Why, Lord, why
Tell me why
In these lonely days
I'd need your answer
There's a reason why
Why, Lord, why
Tell me why
Your the only light
forever lasting
Tell me father, why
Father it's time
Father it's time ...
Mr. Ego (Take Me Down) (7:02)
(Grapow)
Take me down
To a ground
Just let me feel it
If I let someone down
Please welcome
Him on the loosing side
I shake you off
And make my choice
Don't wanna hear you
Your slimy voice
Please go down, please
I don't wanna feel you
around me
Take me down to a
higher ground
To survive your
mindless sound
If you know all the people
Why are you alone?
If you know all the people
You'll be goin' down
I feel that man
On my back
Don't promise any crap
Someone will break
your neck
You don't know how
To soak my soul
Let me out
Let me go
Open your eyes
You told nothing but lies
Please go down, please
C'mon, go down with

Have you seen
this little toy
When you're down
it gives you joy
You escape reality
Delve into its TV
screen
For the rich and for
the poor
For the even more

Doesn't matter where

Where you go or where

Well, there's still no

For your virgin mind,

Just go on and play
the game
You will surely go
insane
The game is on
And you have gone
Gone to a world
on its display
And the game is fun
But when it has won
All you ever hear is
what it says
There's a great
amount of fumes
Coming out from
somebody's room
The firemen got
there
Making their way
up the stairs
Find a man in a chair
But it doesn't seem
he's there
With a grey box
in his hands
He has gone to
another land
The game is on
And you have gone
Gone to a world
on its display
And the game is fun
But when it has won
All you ever hear is
what it says
SOLO
You have played it much
too long
Now your senses get

All your walls come

How'd you like this

Guess your brain will
soon explode
You never had this

Take Me Home (4:25)
(Grapow)
Now I'm here all alone
Takin' care of my own
Down in no man's land
Got no friend, got no dime
Only plenty of time
Where's the saving hand?
I got that feeling to need
more and more attention
That is the fever, don't leave me alone
I got that feeling to make
more than conversation
That is the fever,
where's my home?
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
It's not true what you see
Behind that mask that's not me
Try to reach my world
Can't you see I'm so blind
Stay with me to change my mind
No more nightmares, girl
I got that feeling to need more
and more attention
That is the fever, don't leave me alone
I got that feeling to make more

(Deris / Weikath)
Tell me pretty girl, do
you know how I am?
Have you ever seen me
as your friend?
Anything we have is
those hungry nights
But there's so much
left unsatisfied
All those little things
you told me
Ain't good enough to
show me
That we're gonna make
it through the time
I found out
In the middle of a
heartbeat
And I know that I'm
doin' right
Together we are still
so far apart
I found out
In the middle of a
heartbeat
and the more I try to
be your light
I can't get any closer
to your heart
Now that I'm afraid
just to ask for more
I'm still waiting
as I did before
If you only said that
it's not too late
We could then rely
upon your fate
All those little things
you'd tell me
Could bear enough to
show me
That we're gonna make
it through the time
I found out
In the middle of a
heartbeat
And I know that I'm
tellin' right
Together we are still
so far apart
I found out
In the middle of a
heartbeat
and the more I try to
be your light
I can't get any closer

Still We Go (5:09)
(Grapow)
In the beginning
Out of nowhere
We had a dream
And now it's
Helloween
Speed up to a
higher limit
Change gear, we're
losin' our spirit
We won't take your
special advice
We are close to a
metal breakdown
Sirens to warn of
our meltdown
We couldn't see that
headline
Now we an see
a horizon
We're gonna be here
to stay
If you cannot
see our sign
You must be blind
Still we go
Still we go
Still we go
On the metal highway
Still we go
Warn out, won't die
on our knees
Shine on, proud
as we can be
Time has come to
stop pleasing you
Hey man, let's get
it together
Our strenght will
last forever
Push us as far
as we can go
Now we an see
a horizon
We're gonna be here
to stay
If you cannot
see our sign
You must be blind
Still we go
Still we go
Still we go
On the metal highway
Still we go

How many times must
a man cross the lines
To find his right way
Still we go

No, hear what I say

I've set my limits and bounds

(Melody Solo Kai)
Insania 20 14
We've thrown away our former gods
Controlling our day
We have created better ones
So we control the way
We are the ones with the power
To hold down the enemy
Our gods are perfection
And they are protecting our lives
We still need some more of them
To be safe from the other side
As long as we're stronger
Nothing will happen to us
Fireflash in the night
Just an evil dream
Holy war in the sky. . . .never
Insania 20 16
Error in store 103
We watch the sun at night
The pretty gods we've built ourselves
Now terminate our lives
Silicon brain powered voices
Are crying "attack" tonight
In anger, burning our world
Doomsday has come
And there is no place to hide away
The future is over
And there is no turning back
Fireflash in the night
Now reality
Holy war in the sky. . . .

Twilight of the gods
Insania's dead and gone
Another world was born

A Tale That Wasn't Right (5:15)

Here I stand all alone
Have my mind turned to stone
Have my heart filled up with ice
To avoid it's breakin' twice
Thanx to you, my dear old friend
But you can't help, this is the end
Of a tale that wasn't right
I won't have no sleep tonight
Chorus
In my heart, in my soul
I really hate to pay this toll
Should be strong, young and bold
But the only thing I feel is pain
It's alright, we'll stay friends
Trustin' in my confidence
And let's say it's just alright
You won't sleep alone tonight

If you're out there all alone
And you don't know where to go to
Come and take a trip with me to Future World
And if you're running through your life
And you don't know what the sense is
Come and look how it could be, in Future World
We all live in happiness our life is full of joy
We say the word "tomorrow" without fear
The feeling of togetherness is always at our side
We love our life and we know we will stay
Chorus
Cause we all live in Future World
A world that's full of love
Our future live will be glorious
Come with me--Future World
You say you'd like to stay,
But this is not your time
Go back, find your own way to Future World
Life can be for living
Just try and never give in
Tell everyone the way of Future World
One day you'll live in happiness
With a heart that's full of joy
You'll say the word "tomorrow" without fear
The feeling of togetherness will be at your side
You'll say you love your life and you'll know why

Grab your mask and don't be late

Knock on other people's door
Trick or treat they have the choice,
Little ghosts are makin' lotsa noise
But watch out. . .beware--listen. . .take care
Chorus
In the streets on Halloween
There's something going on
No way to escape the power unknown
In the streets on Halloween
The spirits will arise
Make your choice, it's hell or paradise
Ah--it's Halloween
Ah--it's Halloween. . .tonight!
Someone's sitting in a field,
Never giving yield
Sitting there with gleaming eyes,
Waiting for big pumpkin to arise
Bad luck if you get a stone,
Like the good old Charlie Brown
You think Linus could be right
The kids will say it's just a stupid lie
But watch out. . .beware--listen. . .take care
Chorus
Listen now--we are calling you. . .
And there is magic in the air

Magic in the air. . .on Halloween
Black is the night full of fright
You'll be missing the day

Changing your way
a knock at your door
Is it real or is it a dream
On trembling legs you open the door
And you scream. . . .on Halloween

Darkness
Where am I now
Is there anybody out there
What has happened
Am I in heaven
Or is it hell
I can see a light comin'
It's comin' nearer
It's shining
It's shining so bright
It's shining on me
(Solo Kai/Mike/Rhythm change Mike/Kai/Mike/Kai)
I am the one, doom's in my hands
Now make your choice,
Redeemed or enslaved
I'll show you passion and glory
He is the snake
I'll give you power and abundance
He's the corrupter of man
Save me from the evil one
Give me strength to carry on
I will fight for all mankind's
Deliverance and peace of mind

The Master of the Rings
Release Date:1994
Having ended a long journey continuously fighting hate, resistance
and fear, The Keeper of the Seven Keys returns home the glorious victor
the ever dark powers. His armour and sword have become ragged and stained
by the tolls of his journey, he bears an appearance of utter exhaustion
and
sadness, betrayed only by his sparkling eyes.</p>
The patron through space and time, the Seer of Visions has been blinded
after the Keeper's outset for the evil valley, but had nevertheless
been on
hand for him. He feels his servant's presence and steps outside his
mountain retreat to welcome the victorious fighter home.</p>
"Thou knowest it hath been a long and hard struggle", the Seer lifts
his
voice, "And I feared we could not withstand the evil forces ready to
destroy
us, but thy spirit is purest goodness and thou hast defeated the
beast."
"As a reward and a further duty, I will now unveil seven heavenly rings
from this shell."
"They embody Spirit, Thruth, Destiny, Love, Creation, Fulfillment and
Sanctuary."
"They may appear only humble, but they will establish the priciples
of
existence that thy victory hast allowed."
"Every soul will be given freedom of thought and will, but every soul
will
have to bend to the Law of Principles called Reality, although created
in
different dimensions in different times, but meeting at the same point
in
space and time. Judgement will be fulfilled when no mind will be expecting
it."
"These rings have been forged so that they mayest only be consecrated
by thy
hand. Hurry, for many souls await ressurection!"
The Keeper does as he is told, his hands meet the metal of each golden
ring.
Suddenly, in an outburst of light, the rings ascend slowly, vibrate
faster
and faster, dissolve in a high screeching clamour, fade into a misty
swirl
and within the blink of an eye, disappear.
The Keeper stands alone...

I got that fever
Burning my head
So many memories
No tear to shed
Burns like a fire
Who stole my aims?
My comrade fighters
Been sent astray
How could I know
What others had in mind for me?
How would they know
What measures I take?

Of a kill without alert sing
your feelings out
Your song remains unheard
Sole survivor
We shared like brothers
A light in the black
Totally blended
Bold and erect
But we've grown intriguers
Till it's too late
Time has brought fire
Fear, greed and hate
Now I'm cryin'
Shattered on the ground
All I find
Has died anyway
Sole survivor
Of a kill without alert
Sing your feelings out
Your song remains unheard
Sole survivor
Got a voice without a sound
Mean mistreaters
Took away your ground

Where The Rain Grows (4:46)
(Weikath / Deris)
I never looked higher
Than I could see
Never gave less
Than I have given me
The more you have taken
You turned into fakes
I finally know now
Why, for heavens' sake?
Don't tell me you did not see
that I cried
Don't act so deaf and blind
Don't think that if someone's
made dumb to the core
He would stay like before
So I take my life
Back from where the rain grows
Die to survive
Back from where the rain grows
Now you call me liar
'cause you are just the
"Always-have-right-fools-majority"
I think that if someone
starved at your side
You'd all turn your back
Won't give any dime
Don't tell me you did not see
that I cried
Don't act so deaf and blind
Don't think that if someone's
made sad to the core
He would stay like before
So I take my life
Back from where the rain grows
Die to survive
Back from where the rain grows
SOLO
So I take my life
Back from where the rain grows
Die to survive
Back from where the rain grows
I know where the rain grows

Father, it's time
Have a heart for your

Not a new sign
But a strike that'll
blow those fools away
Open your eyes
If you've got any you
just look for too long

They spit on your name
Doin' everything
darnned as highest
crime
They believe they could
walk on the water
Playin `Godsleep with

Killed your son and
might kill mine
But you don't mind
Why, Lord, why
Tell me why
In these lonely days
I'd need your answer
There's a reason why
How could you fail?
Still it's time, turn
the black into the light
Why do you wait?
Do you look down and
laugh at what you find?
Can't you see they are
mistreating their
daughters
They believe they could
walk on the waters
They killed your son
and might kill mine
But you don't mind
Why, Lord, why
Tell me why
In these lonely days
I'd need your answer
There's a reason why

Now that I'm afraid
just to ask for more
I'm still waiting
as I did before
If you only said that
it's not too late
We could then rely
upon your fate
All those little things
you'd tell me
Could bear enough to
show me
That we're gonna make
it through the time
I found out
In the middle of a
heartbeat
And I know that I'm
tellin' right
Together we are still
so far apart
I found out
In the middle of a
heartbeat
and the more I try to
be your light
I can't get any closer
to your heart
SOLO
I found out
I found out
I found out
In the middle of a
heartbeat
And I know that I'm
doin' right
Together we are still
so far apart
I found out
In the middle of a
heartbeat ...
Still We Go (5:09)
(Grapow)
In the beginning
Out of nowhere
We had a dream
And now it's
Helloween
Speed up to a
higher limit
Change gear, we're
losin' our spirit
We won't take your
special advice
We are close to a
metal breakdown
Sirens to warn of
our meltdown
We couldn't see that
headline
Now we an see
a horizon
We're gonna be here
to stay
If you cannot
see our sign
You must be blind
Still we go
Still we go
Still we go
On the metal highway
Still we go
Warn out, won't die
on our knees
Shine on, proud
as we can be
Time has come to
stop pleasing you
Hey man, let's get
it together
Our strenght will
last forever
Push us as far
as we can go
Now we an see
a horizon
We're gonna be here
to stay
If you cannot
see our sign
You must be blind
Still we go
Still we go
Still we go
On the metal highway
Still we go
SOLO
How many times must
a man cross the lines
To find his right way
Still we go
Still we go
Still we go
On the metal highway
Still we go
