Tracks



01. Hollowed be Thy Name

So here I am asked myself once again
Who gives the air that I am breathing?

Never took the easiest way
Never chose the easiest day
Couldn't find a cause to blame

Always got the cash to pay
Always found the games to play
Sometimes had a beast to tame

Why don't you hear my voice?
Did you accept my choice?
Your hope of life dried out
When I realized my aim

Hollowed be thy name

Had enough of confidence
Held the name of innocence
I ruled the land of pain

My law was insecure
My punishment for sure
Who played the master's game?

I could not hear your voice
Never accept your choice
Your chance of life dried out
When I justify my aim

Hollowed be thy name

Cold were the days
Lost in your memory
Cold was reality

Cold were the days
After our souls had to realize two games

Hollowed be thy name

02. Speed Of Life

Remember the shadow race
Injustice and crime look over
Consider the mortal pace
That the evil brings

For money and heaven's call
They're running through times and ages
Velocity came to law and leads to

Speed of life, the rush of time
Is part of the demon
Speed of life, the rush of time
The speed of life is devil's exercise

They're running the wicked race
They're playing with raging fire
No time for to rest and stay
That's what the master says

Hold on in a world of shame
Stay true to law and order
There's nothing that I can you blame
For the

Speed of life, the rush of time
Is part of the demon
Speed of life, the rush of time
The speed of life is the devil's exercise

Escape from the rising sun
A light from the far horizon
Your choice is to hit and run to

Speed of life, the rush of time
Is part of the demon
Speed of life, the rush of time
'Cause everything's part of the
Speed of life

03. (In The Land of) Wind And Rain

He's searching for the truth of time
But does not find answers
Watch out, high on the wire
The world seems like bugs on the ground

He's blinded by the light of fire
Goes deaf and dumb slightly
Look out

Hear the echoes of your past
See the mirror of your mask
Feel the hurt of endless pain
In the land of wind and rain

Behind the walls of time and space
You recognize your freedom
Look out, high on the wire
You stand on the edge of the world

Hear the echoes of your past
See the mirror of your mask
Feel the hurt of endless pain
In the land of wind and rain

Hope one day we will find our home in space
Time after time we'll stay
To find the glory ways
Our path away
Home in space
Our glory way

Hear the echoes of your past
See the mirror of your mask
Feel the hurt of endless pain
In the land of wind and rain

04. House On Fire

In a world of innocence
You gave me shelter from the tempest
In a time of hope and joy
You always dedicated love to me

Burning bridges everywhere
And nobody to declare
House on fire burnt my soul
My desire is getting cold

House on fire in my head
Sick and tired

Twenty-one is much too young
For a child without a warning
Poorest dream has come alive
When you died on a cloudy morning

Burning bridges everywhere
And nobody to declare

House on fire burnt my soul
My desire is getting cold
House on fire in my head
Sick and tired

In a world of innocence
When you died on a cloudy morning

Burning bridges everywhere
And nobody to declare

House on fire burnt my soul
My desire is getting cold
House on fire in my head
Sick and tired

05. Ghost Town

Out of my head things are going mad
So we cannot return into life
Out of my mind all eyes are still blind
And the only impression is pale

We cannot realize the aim
Just did identify that

There's no one in ghost town
Nobody switched the light on
A black hole in ghost town
Just dark and cold rooms for to pray

Inside your bed the rats are still there
And the prison corroded the frame
Inside your mouth your tongue starts to shout
And it swallows the uncertain name

We do not realize the aim
No one did recognize that

There's no one in ghost town
Nobody switched the light on
A black hole in ghost town
Just dark and cold rooms for to pray

We cannot realize the aim
Just did identify that

There's no one in ghost town
Nobody switched the light on
A black hole in ghost town
Just dark and cold rooms for to pray
A black hole in ghost town
Just dark and cold rooms for to stay

06. How The Gypsy Was Born

And God saw that this work was nearly done
A blue, mighty planet circled round the sun
And God saw that this work was nearly done
A blue, mighty planet circled round the sun

And God saw that everything was nice
But there had to be a creature
Who looked like me and you
So he realized

So he took some earth and put it in a form
But the oven wasn't hot enough
So the white man was born

You can live in the cold zone of the world
'Cause you are used to it, since your birth

I have to build another creature who looks like me and you
But one who's not so pale
He has to get a hotter blow

So he took some earth and put it in a form
But the oven was too hot now
So the black man was born

You can live in the hot zone of the world
'Cause you are used to it, since your birth

I have to build another creature who looks like me and you
But one who's not so dark
He has to get a special blow

So he took some earth and put it in a form
And the oven was right now
So the gypsy was born

Go to the top of the mountain and look
Do you see this land around?
Go where you like to be
'Cause you and the gypsy will be free

07. All Above The Atmosphere

Time
Do you imagine our time?
Do you find out what's always
Here in sight always there in light?

Space
Do you determine holes in space?
The little black ones that you never see
But always will be
Always will be in light?

All above the atmosphere
Is reaching the sun
Take the flight without no fear
Get pleasure from light

Signs
Can you discover holy signs?
A little red one which is
Always here, always in your mind

Place
We are all searching for our place
The little quiet one
Where we rest our soul
Find our home
Leave our clothes to stay

All above the atmosphere
Is reaching the sun
Take the flight without no fear
Get pleasure from light

All above the atmosphere
Is reaching the sun
Take the flight without no fear
Get pleasure from light

08. Lord Of Madness

Lord of the lamp, will you offer your hand?
Will you promise to light me the way?
I followed the stars
And I searched for the right pass to go

Child of the sun
Can you now understand
What the prophets might tell you one day?
The trail to the light is becoming the guide
Of your daydreams, your life scenes

We are believers and we'll run the game
To bring out the sun
And the moon and the stars on their way

Lord of Madness turns out pain
Who's to blame?
He goes nowhere out there
Lord of Madness cries out bitter tears
But nobody hears

Keeper of Earth
Have you already heard
That your sadness is part of your days?
Old king of the hill
Is there somebody still in your dark cave?
Cold grave

We are believers and we'll run the game
To bring out the sun
And the moon and the stars on their way

Lord of Madness turns out pain
Who's to blame?
He goes nowhere out there
Lord of Madness cries out bitter tears
But nobody hears

10. Way Of The World

You got the key to unknown land
And tried to keep your helping hand
We found the complete way to go
Your spirit patched up broken wings
Your patience healed our wounded skins
You took your time to rescue life

Left things go right and black turns to white
We lived as we borrowed the time
Fire and ice and water was turned into wine

As a child born in green land turns the earth back to life
Has to find out the way of the world

People come and people go
Sun goes down behind black smoke
Must have been a place to stay
Your memory shows all they earned
Some lessons that they had to learn
Knowledge of the unknown man

Wrong things were right and black turned to white
We lived as we borrowed the time
Fire and ice and water was turned into wine

As a child born

On judgment day we reach eternity, it ever lasts to my memories
Take my hand and trust your eyes, give your heart, forget the lies

As a child born

The miracle of life has come
The answers of the past were done
I realized the pain of Savage Land
I saw that just the best survived
Saw them save their naked life
No one forgot Insurgeria

Wrong things were right and black turned to white
We lived as we borrowed the time
Fire and ice and water was turned into wine
