01. State Of Grace

Sacred towers standing tall
Built in times of guilt and gold
Ancient knowledge lost in time
Forgotten now in hearts and minds

Holy towers a test of faith
Sacred knowledge

State of grace state of grace
Carved in stone your secrets lie
Of raising temples to the sky
When you built this holy place
Did you take a leap of faith

Holy towers a test of faith
Sacred knowledge

State of grace state of grace
Heaven´s light golden beams
Shinin´ through in coloured dreams
Gothic sprires in wood and stone
In tests of time you stand alone

Holy towers a test of faith
Sacred knowledge
State of grace state of grace
State of grace state of grace
Sacred towers standing tall
Built in times of guilt and gold
Ancient knowledge lost in time
Forgotten now in hearts and minds

Holy towers a test of faith
Sacred knowledge
State of grace state of grace
State of grace state of grace
State of grace state of grace
State of grace grace grace

02. Need For Speed

Scream into danger that´s just what I like
Pushing it harder the feeling is right
Faster and faster don´t loose your grip
Live for the moment there´s nothing like this

I need the rush can´t get enough
I got the need for speed
I got the need for speed

Out to the limit I´m here for the ride
Don´t try to stop me just open it wide
Wind back the throttle your foot to the floor
Up to the red line give it some more

I need the rush can´t get enough
I got the need for speed
I got the need for speed

Scream into danger that´s just what I like
Pushing it harder the feeling is right
Faster and faster don´t loose your grip
Live for the moment there´s nothing like this

I need the rush can´t get enough
I got the need for speed
I got the need for speed
I got the need for speed
I got the need for speed
I got the need for speed
I got the need for speed

03. Let Me Feel Your Power

Tell me now do you wanna see the show
Hard and fast it´s the only way to go
Livin´ life with everything you´ve got

Scream and shout take it to the top
Let me hear you screaming

Screaming in the night
Let me feel your power power power
Let me feel your power power power

Turn it on let the night begin
Shout it out let me hear you sing
On your feet the time has come to act
Come with us we´ll take it to the max
Let me hear you screaming

Screaming in the night
Let me feel your power power power
Let me feel your power power power

Hard and fast do you wanna see the show
Tell me now it´s the only way to go
Livin´ life with everything you´ve got

Scream and shout take it to the top
Let me hear you screaming

Screaming in the night
Let me feel your power power power
Let me feel your power power power
Let me feel your power power power
Let me feel your power power power
Scream it again again again

04. Red Star Falling

Where were you when the red star fell
Did you hear the tolling of the bell
A million people on the streets
They march as one they march for peace
Breakin´ free from the iron fist
The price you pay a deadly risk
Live no more in fear and shame
The hammer´s gone release from blame
The tanks have left the walls torn down
The sound of silence all around
Hear no more the screams of pain
Freedom now the beast is slain
The beast is slain
Did you see the red star falling
Where were you when the red flag burned
The ashes gone the tables turned
One by one the cracks appeared
The overlord no longer feared
The children sing they dance once more
On the streets no signs of war
The strangle hold that held you tight
Broken now no will to fight
The guards have gone the wire torn down
The sound of silence all around
Hear no more the screams of pain
Freedom now the beast is slain
The beast is slain
Did you see the red star falling
Falling down falling down falling down
They marched as one
To see the red star falling
They paid their price
The price for liberty
Did you see the red star falling
Where were you when the red star died
Did you raise your voices to the sky
Forgotten now the fear and pain
Or does your memory still remain
The people held in bonds of steel
It took so long to break the seal
After all that´s said and done
A million people can´t be wrong
The tanks have gone the walls torn down
The sound of silence all around
Hear no more the screams of pain
Freedom now the beast is slain
The beast is slain
Did you see the red star falling
The beast is slain
They marched as one
To see the red star falling
The beast is slain
They paid their price
The price for liberty
Did you see the red star falling
Falling down falling down falling down
Falling down falling down

05. I've Got To Rock (To Stay Alive)

Let me tell you what you need
You´ve gotta set your spirit free
Just hear the power an´ feel the beat
Shout out loud and stamp your feet
Cut me loose but don´t let go
I gotta have more rock and roll
I can´t live I can´t breathe
You gotta give me what I need
Can´t go on can´t survive
I gotta rock to stay alive stay alive
Play it loud an´ turn me on
Give it to me all night long
Loud and proud that´s what I like
You´ve gotta get the feeling right
Don´t stop me now it´s in my soul
I gotta rock and can´t say no
I can´t live I can´t breathe
You gotta give me what I need
Can´t go on can´t survive
I gotta rock to stay alive
Stay alive stay alive
I can´t live I can´t breathe
You gotta give me what I need
Can´t go on can´t survive
I gotta rock to stay alive
I´ve paid my dues I´ve been around
I´ve had my share of ups and downs
I´ll never stop it´s in my blood
I´ve got to rock it feels so good
Can´t stop me now it´s in my soul
I´ve gotta play more rock and roll
I can´t live I can´t breathe
You gotta give me what I need
Can´t go on can´t survive
I gotta rock to stay alive
I can´t live I can´t breathe
You gotta give me what I need
Can´t go on can´t survive
I gotta rock to stay alive stay alive
I can´t live I can´t breathe
I gotta rock to stay alive

06. If I Was You

Stoke the fire feel the heat
Your chance to burn out on the streets
Smash and grab on the run
Play the game with a loaded gun
The little bird has left his nest
He feeds no more on mother´s breast
On your own you make the choice
Listen to your inner voice
If I was you and you were me
Would you live your life differently
If I was you and you were me
Make your mark use the knife
You´re following your own advice
What you sow is what you reap
You can´t stop now you´re in too deep
You started life as something new
Innocent until you grew
On your own you make the choice
Listen to your inner voice
If I was you and you were me
Would you live your life differently
If I was you and you were me
If I was you and you were me
Would you live your life differently
If I was you and you were me
Would you live your life differently
If I was you and you were me
Would you live your life differently
If I was you and you were me
Would you live your life differently
If I was you if I was you
If I was you if I was you

07. Going Nowhere Fast

I was goin´ nowhere
Stuck in this place
No one´s really movin´
I can´t stand the place
I look to left of me
I look to the right
There´s nothing here around me
No exit in sight
I was goin´ nowhere nowhere fast
Someone´s gotta help me
I´m goin´ nowhere fast
Chaos on the highway
I´m in a parking lot
I can´t see the problem
I´m sitting here and rot
They blocked to the front of me
They blocked to the rear
I´ve got a hundred things to do
Instead of sittin´ right here
I was goin´ nowhere nowhere fast
Someone´s gotta help me
I´m goin´ nowhere fast
I´m goin´ nowhere fast
No signal on the mobile
I talk to myself
I think I´m goin´ crazy
I´ve gotta get some help
I look to left of me
I look to the right
There´s nothing here around me
No exit in sight
I was goin´ nowhere nowhere fast
Someone´s gotta help me
I´m goin´ nowhere fast
Yeah I was goin´ nowhere nowhere fast
Someone´s gotta help me
I´m goin´ nowhere fast
I´m goin´ nowhere fast

08. Ashes To Ashes

We´ll never surrender
Or give up the fight
We´ll take what we´re given
An´ never lose sight
We´ve all been to the edge and back
We´re leavin´ no one behind
Ashes to ashes backs to the wall
Brother to brother together we fall
Ashes to ashes never give in
Brother to brother united we win
We´re shoulder to shoulder
We´ll never give ground
We´re stronger than ever
And forever we´re bound
We´ll make a stand and give it all
When your back´s to the wall
Ashes to ashes backs to the wall
Brother to brother together we fall
Ashes to ashes never give in
Brother to brother united we win
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
We´ll never surrender
Or give up the fight
We´ll take what we´re given
An´ never lose sight
We´ve all been to the edge and back
We´re leavin´ no one behind
Ashes to ashes backs to the wall
Brother to brother together we fall
Ashes to ashes never give in
Brother to brother united we win
Ashes to ashes backs to the wall
Brother to brother together we fall
Ashes to ashes never give in
Brother to brother united we win
Ashes to ashes backs to the wall
Brother to brother together we fall
Ashes to ashes never give in
Brother to brother united we win

09. Empire Rising

Instrumental

10. Atila The Hun

There´s something comin´ from the east
Hear the thunder of the beast
Evil shadow ´cross the sun
A million voices rise as one
Atila the Hun Atila the Hun
Look into the jaws of death
Can you feel the devil´s breath
There´s nowhere left for you to run
The scourge of God he soon will come
Atila the Hun Atila the Hun
From the towers of Babylon
To the deserts of the sun
In temples of mighty Rome
To the land of the earth and the stone
The only word that you will hear
The name that brings you panic and fear
Just when you think the killing´s done
A million voices rise as one
Atila the Hun Atila the Hun
Yeah yeah ah yeah ah ah
There´s something comin´ from the east
Hear the thunder of the beast
Evil shadow ´cross the sun
A million voices rise as one
Can you hear them comin´ near
You cannot move you´re paralised with fear
All they bring is death and pain
The life you had will not remain
A mighty empire rising from the east
Will you send an army to defeat
The mounted warrior´s arrows fall like rain
The conqueror´s armies ride across the plain
Atila the Hun Atila the Hun
Ah Atila the Hun
Atila the Hun Atila the Hun
