fore

Fly - beyond the gates of space and time
Another universe is mine and I can't wait until tomorrow
Ride - there's a call from deep within, no, I won't return again
'Cause I will dive into the black hole

Don't wait for me 'cause I won't come back
Oh, don't wait for me, no, I won't come back
Oh, don't wait for me, no, I won't come back

Thunder and lightning and fire
Are guiding the trip of my life
Insatiable burning desire
As into the unknown I dive

I raise my head in silent anger
Seems there is no place for me
The only way out is to go
Where no one's gone before

Fly - beyond the gates of space and time
Another universe is mine and I can't wait until tomorrow
Ride - there's a call from deep within, no, I won't return again
'Cause I will dive into the black hole

Don't wait for me 'cause I won't come back
Oh, don't wait for me, no, I won't come back
Oh, don't wait for me, no, I won't come back
Oh, oh, oh, don't wait

There was a trigger for my decision
It's right behind my eyes
Into the darkness of my vision
I let my spirit rise

I wanna see the black hole, into the dark
I wanna dive into the black hole, down into the dark
Into the black hole, into the dark
Into the spiral, into the dark, the dark, the dark

"If there's a possible chance for something that can be
Called future behind the spiral
The only way to find out is to leave the final frontier
To eternity and fly"

I will fly - beyond the gates of space and time
I leave the universe behind and I can't wait until tomorrow

Fly - beyond the gates of space and time
I know the universe is mine 'cause I will dive into the black hole
Ride - and there's a call from deep within, I know I won't return again
'Cause I will dive into the black hole

Don't wait for me 'cause I won't come back
Oh, don't wait for me, no, I won't come back
Oh, don't wait for me, no, I won't come back
Oh, oh, oh, don't wait



Men, martians and machines

(Hansen)

From out of space we came onto the earth
From far away on solar beams
A dying race to find survival here
For our kind to plant our seeds

Our analysis of the atmosphere
Was good and so we touched the ground
A rising simple structured life form there
Seemed to be perfect what we'd found

We think in anger of our fallen dream
Our home is now a fading light
The cracks appeared and they where pointing at the end
And so we came to save our lives

Men, martians and machines
Men, martians and machines

You were too young to understand our plans
To see the things up in the sky
We were the gods and we have taught you well
And so we found eternal life

We gained control upon our destiny
Our ships were flying everywhere
The cracks appeared, our plan was bound to fail again
And now the circle's closing in

Men, martians and machines
Men, martians and machines

We can't control our human sacrifice
Again we fear for our lives
The cracks appeared, our brains start to distort again
Now we gonna say goodbye

Men, martians and machines
Men, martians and machines
Men, martians and machines
Men, martians and machines



No stranger (another day in life)

(Hansen)

I see a hole in the sky
But don't ask me why I'm so down and lonely
No one will understand why
There's a voice in my head and I know it's the only

I see the children play with fire in their eyes
And when the day begins, another day in life

I'm standing tall 'cause I won't fall
'Cause I'm no stranger to myself
I see horizons in my sky
'Cause I'm no stranger to myself

Days full of joy are driving down the pain
Into the sun, a mother's son is just about to fly

I see the morning come with fire in my eyes
And when the day begins, another day in life

I'm standing tall 'cause I won't fall
I'm no stranger to myself
I see horizons in my sky
'Cause I'm no stranger to myself

I see the morning come with fire in the sky
And now the day begins, another day in life

I'm standing tall 'cause I won't fall
I'm no stranger to myself
I see horizons in my sky
'Cause I'm no stranger to myself

No, no, I'm no stranger to myself



Somewhere out in space

(Hansen)

I'm trapped in a castle of illusions
Out in space, no more illusions
Out on a journey, on a mission
For the human race

Terrified, I had to realize
That I've been talking to the gods of fire
I got nowhere to stand
'Cause I'm a running man, to get away

All that I see is the years somewhere out in space
And it's time for deliverance

Tomorrow I'll see it
Another day's rise right before my eyes
Been sinking in sorrow
But now I'm gonna rise, no more reasons why

I'm a watcher in the dark
I'm so cold inside my heart
I'm a temple in the storm
And I'm bound to be reborn

Take me down to the underground
Let me see the gods of fire
'Cause I know where they live and I know where they stand
Another reason there to leave

Take me down, take me down
Take me to the underground
I wanna meet the gods of fire
And all of their intention is the center of it all

All that I see is the years somewhere out in space
And it's time for deliverance
Now that I know I've got to get away
Time for deliverance now

And as the sun appeared up in the sky
I saw another day that's drifting by
I saw my people cry a million tears
Into eternity they disappeared

Now it's time to say goodbye or we will sink in sorrow
No, we don't know the reason why, another day, tomorrow
I thank you for giving me hope
Follow me into a new life

All that I see is the years
All that I see is the tears

All that I see is the years somewhere out in space
And it's time for deliverance
All that I see is the fear somewhere out in space
And it's time for deliverance

I wanna know how to get away
I wanna know how to get away
Come set me free, just set me free, just let me go
I wanna get away, get away

Somewhere out in space



The guardians of mankind

(Richter)

For no one to see, for no one to hear
They fight for our souls without any fear
When injustice done they open their gates
To maintain balance between good and bad

And as the winds of freedom blow
They vanish into haze
The mighty shadow turns away
And wisdom conquers hate

The guardians of mankind are losing their faith
'Cause malice and falseness spread over the human race
If guardians of mankind won't shelter our souls
The rulers of darkness will soon gain control

Don't try to deceive them
Don't try to play false
'Cause losing their favour
Will be the end of shelter

And as the winds of freedom blow
They vanish into haze
The mighty shadow turns away
And wisdom conquers hate

The guardians of mankind are losing their faith
'Cause malice and falseness spread over the human race
If guardians of mankind won't shelter our souls
The rulers of darkness will soon gain control

And as the winds of freedom blow
They vanish into haze
The mighty shadow turns away
And wisdom conquers hate

The guardians of mankind are losing their faith
'Cause malice and falseness spread over the human race

Guardians of mankind are losing their faith
'Cause malice and falseness spread over the human race
If guardians of mankind won't shelter our souls
The rulers of darkness will soon gain control



The landing

(Schlachter/Hansen)

High in the machines - above the earth
We observe your lifeform, we've come for you
Riding the machines - we'll take your souls
Riding the machines - we've come to rule

"About 400,000 years ago when evolution was still on the make
An extraterrestrial race appeared in our part of the galaxy
Heading straight to Earth"

Riding the machines - we'll take your souls
Riding the machines - we've come for you

"When they finally landed
They found a planet with perfect survival conditions
A lower lifeform called humans considered them as gods
From somewhere out of space"



Valley of the kings

(Hansen)

Father, can you hear me?
Did you talk to mother Earth?
What did they say? What did they see?
Now is it time for your rebirth?

Open up the silent center of your mind
I now want to know the future of your kind

In the valley of the kings
When the storm breaks loose again
Then the gods return to fight
For the future of their lives

In the valley of the kings

Oh, mother, do you hear me?
Did you talk to father moon?
I don't want to leave my brothers
In this temple of their doom

Open up the silent center of your mind
I now want to know the future of your kind

In the valley of the kings
When the storm breaks loose again
Then the gods will spread their wings
In the valley of the kings

Oh, Mother Earth, do you believe
There is a place for us to go?
Come set us free again and let us fly away
And give us hope

There'll be a time for us to fly
To our thrones up in the sky

In the valley of the kings
When the storm breaks loose again
Then the gods will spread their wings
In the valley of the kings

In the valley of the kings
In the valley of the kings
In the valley of the kings
In the valley of the kings



Pray

(Schlachter/Hansen)

So here we stand again like dust on mother Earth
And we hide our faces in our dreams
Only emptiness where angels flew high on golden wings
And the voice of god has vanished now, lost inside our dreams

But the only way to go is heaven

All we can do is pray
In the darkness we stand with the world in our hands
And we pray for a better tomorrow
We wait

Far beyond the horizon there's a sound in the sky
The voice of glory, I hear a silent cry

When the heroes of yesterday are gone

All we can do is pray
In the darkness we hide and we wait for the light
And we pray
Oh, we pray
Let us pray

I've seen the darkside of the moon in my dreams
Now I know it ain't a place to live for us all
All our gods creation is dead an gone
Now we stand like children all alone forever

All we can do is pray
Forever and forever and forever more
For a better tomorrow we wait

Pray
There's a light in the dark
And it's shining so bright on our way
Still there is hope on our way and we pray

Oh, pray



The winged horse

(Richter)

In a land far beyond the sun
Rules the darkness faceless magician
Black towers which raise into the sky
Castle of tears, shadows passing by

Blood is covering the mighty walls
Of those who lost their skin and bones
No one ever saw the light
Oh, slaves of the night

There's a young man chained on a stake
Liveless body, he has no strength to break
His shirt is bloody, his head is hanging down
He's meant to die, the ruler took his crown

The wind howles through the emptiness
A different sound as in the past
Screaming echoes in the lanes
Oh, victims of the pain

The clouds passing by, a hole breaks the sky
Light refract the dark and fills the place
White winged horse, such a powerful force
Gallops through the sky to break the chains

The winged horse lands by the one
It snorts and stamps, the escape has just begun
The chains are broken, silence fills the place
He backs the horse with his last ounce of strength

The white horse rears and spreads its wings
To reach the sky and search the kings
The one will lead to win at last
Oh, rulers of the past

The clouds passing by, a hole breaks the sky
Light refract the dark and fills the place
White winged horse, such a powerful force
Gallops through the sky to free the land

The white horse rears and spreads its wings
To reach the sky and search the kings
The one will lead to win at last
Oh, rulers of the past

The kings return armed with mighty swords
To retake the land and banish evil thoughts
They fight against the shadows, captured souls of the dark might
Dethrone the evil ruler to bring sun to the night

The battle takes a heavy toll
But they achieve what they're fighting for
Now the land is free again
Oh, no more blood and pain

The clouds passing by, a hole breaks the sky
Light refract the dark and fills the place
White winged horse, such a powerful force
Gallops through the sky to free the land

But still at night when darkness rules again
Whispering shadows creeping through the lanes
Evil creatures of the expelled magician
Oh, it's a fight you'll never win



Cosmic chaos

Lost in the future

(Schlachter/Hansen)

Atomic fallout scans the sky
Another place where people die
And with a massive final punch
We left a world of pain

And now pollutions everywhere
Another death is in the air
A million people left alone
Down in their desperate, blackened homes

Tomorrow there'll be no sun
Hanging high up in the sky
Tomorrow all dead and gone
And I wish that I could fly

We are lost in the future
We are lost in a dream we can't control

No way
So tell me now computer god

We plug our lives into machines
And as they're guiding our dreams
We're individually lost
As we are nailed to our cross

Tomorrow there'll be a sun
Hanging high up in the sky
Tomorrow I'm dead and gone
Oh I wish that I could fly

We are lost in the future
We are lost, it's a nightmare
We are lost in the future
We are lost in a dream we'll never see

Our hearts live forever, in dreams are alive
Forever and ever we're riding the sky
All hope is lost but nothing gained
We're crying again, is this the end?

Lost in the future
We are lost, it's a nightmare
We are lost in the future
We are lost in a dream we can't control

We're lost, so lost
We're lost, so lost
We all are lost!



Watcher in the sky

(Sielck/Hansen)

I'm watching the mountains, I'm watching the sea
Observing the creatures, I am lost - set me free

Across the heavens I made my way
I've seen empires rise and blown away
I have arrived at my destiny but after all
There's just emptiness in me

Out in the darkness I am going mad
Where are the others, there's silence in my head

'Cause I'm a watcher in the sky - I've seen universes die
Out in the cold my systems overload
I am lost in time - watcher in the sky

I'm trapped in this nightmare, endless tortures and pain
Milleniums have gone by, uh, it drives me insane
Who am I now? I'm not man - I'm not machine
I gave my life away for the iron savior dream

'Cause I'm a watcher in the sky - I've seen universes die
Out in the cold my systems overload
I am lost in time - watcher in the sky

Hooked to the circuits of a lifeless, cold machine
Lost in a world of artificial means
Ripped out of my body I'll stand the test of time
Am I perpetual? Am I devine?

I'm a watcher in the sky
My soul has drowned in the tears, I cannot cry
I'm the watcher, the chosen one but I am lost in time
I'm a watcher in the sky, I've seen the years go by

I am the chosen one
Out in the cold my systems overload and I am lost in time
Watcher in the sky

Watching the mountains, watching the sea
Watching the creatures, you'll never be free

Watcher in the sky



Rising star

(Schlachter)

Instrumental track



Shine on

(Schlachter/Hansen)

We drive, we drive
We're riding on through the universe
We've come to reach our destination
Planet Earth

We come, we run
You cannot see us flying in our spaceships
Shooting 'cross the sky
We explore and we all know what this is about for us all

So many light years we have travelled far from home
Someday we'll be there, I know

Shine on, rising star
We travelled such a long way but still you seem so far
Shine on, rising star
For our belief in unity at heart

Rising star
Come on and shine

Living was torture and dying release
A declining world, no future, no hope
We were passing the point of no return

So many light years, still we travel on and on
And someday we will call you home

Shine on, rising star
Diamond in the distance, still you seem so far
Shine on, rising star
Forever light the darkness in our hearts

Rising star
Rising star

Salvation, damnation
We crawl across the sky with pain
Forever we will fly
Out in the darkness there's a never ending light

Still we are far away but we'll be there one day
Someday we will call you home

Shine on, rising star
We travelled such a long way but still you seem so far
Shine on, rising star
Forever light the darkness in our hearts

Rising star
Rising star

Shadows in the darkness, so far away from home
Standing all alone, no one there beside me
Shadows all around, so far away from home
I know I'm not alone, it seems we're lost in space and time

Shine on

Shine on now and warm the tears we've shared through years
It's our prison, final reason for the freedom
And the glory that we feel - are you for real?

Shine on, rising star
Diamond in the distance, still you seem so far
Shine on, rising Star
Forever light the darkness in our hearts

Rising star
Rising star

Shine on, rising star
Come on and shine for us
Shine on, shine forever more
Shine on, our survival

Rising star, the last chance for us all
The only hope for future and a home
For us all, for us all
Come on and shine, rising star
