I'm a new messiah
won't you cry a tear for me
I absorb your sleepless nights
I'm a black horizon
I'm solitude in chains
always in your way
'cause this is my land
won't you join my lamentation
take your time, remember
I am just a breath away

look into my eyes,
they're hollow
but I see the rising flow
only pain can cure my sorrow
nothing compares
to the dreams that I know

can you hear me
under the mourning star
all I dream of
all the thoughts I must expel
who would
who could
who dares
who cares

who would trade his soul
for my monocracy
a silver line
for me to climb
out of the shades
to find tomorrow
the pain
your master claims
I live it every day
so you are my land

look into my eyes,
they're hollow
who's behind,
they never show
I have waited long,
my fellow
nothing compares
to the hopes that I've grown

can you hear me
under the mourning star
all I dream of
all the thoughts I must expel
who would
who could
who dares
who cares

your conception will remain
dogmas in the breeze
enclosed by anys pain

I've seen the outline
of a scheme
a vision of tranquility
the world in my
profound embrace
I've seen conclusions at the end
a mellow hymn of promises
the voice of god requesting me

I provide you shelter
from the cold
so gather at my feet

before the missionary man
in the line
for complete redemption
I will make you understand
heaven holds a place for those who pray

I have the faith it takes to teach
the tolerance of the lord
a stage to play upon
and when the cross is in the air
I fold my hands and see
a seat by god reserved for me

I'm a new perspective for the lost
their watchman in the night

and I'm a missionary man
advocate for a brand new order
I will find the promised land
in the souls I cut wide open
amen

I'll make you believe
by the touch of my hand
leave all you know behind
and open your minds
I'm a new dimension
if you would obey

in cover of a dazzling fullmoon
I pace in the hall
rendered harmless by the memory
of what I used to be
night's soon over
I dread another sunrise
the pain of knowing
I might have changed the world
I couldn't pass with a compromise

but the healing hand
belongs to the living
and I am no longer
the world will go on without me
I'm no longer

when I leave
I'll feel a soft asuagement
and with minimal manliness
I'll bow to hail the light
when night's over
I'll sink into oblivion
but still I will remember
I could have changed the world
I couldn't pass with a compromise

'cause the healing hand
belongs to the living
and I am no longer
the world is the same without me
I'm no longer

I have crossed
the ultimate limit today
(a war is half-way won)
time and time again
I've said to myself;
there's a time
and place for everyone
frozen flame subsides in hunger
my heartbeat lingers as I wonder;

could it be that my affection lies ?
I will have to try to comfort you
what is on your mind ?

as I woke this morning
in the flare of my shame
(the claws of night
still within reach)
I possessed the powers
to arise from the pain
there's a time
and place for all and each
consciousness abash inside me
tears assunder, pleads me guilty

could it be that my affection lies ?
I will have to try to comfort you
what is on your mind ?

on an empty stage the play goes on
I applaud the actors
as they slowly pass
guess it lies
in mankinds constitution
the vivid dreams ... they seldom last

blind eyes search the sky
but try not to reveal
uncertainty behind
images dancing on a wall
each tear a vision
the more you cry you'll learn

it's so easy to hide in the dark

the song you know so well
encourages to flee
the answer to your tears
lingers in colours you can't see
each word a whisper
the more they say you'll find

it's so easy to hide in the dark

you won't find the treasure
below the rainbows end
black and white are strangers
to the pictures of the rain

you meet another day
with hasty little lies
when someone laughs
you turn away
glad people make you feel unsafe
there's a place where all is sound
where you know
you won't be found

where the sun
and the moon never shine
and it's easy to hide in the dark

don't hesitate to hope,
they said
come close,
don't be afraid
love don't seem
to find it's way
to where you stay
you have to feel the light,
they said
it's easy to forget
love is really far away
for a dying of today

mother mary
comfort in a cross of silver
hard to pick a saviour
from a million gods
'cause when you settle
for a new dimension
you'll never find
the one your dying for

last temptation;
touch me
before you close your eyes
die a martyr to your principles
'cause you're the only god
who's visible tonight

once you have crossed
the course you seek
when your resistance' weak
when your goal is left behind
you soon recline
eyes of the source
you're searching for
can't see you anymore
and salvation's far away
for a dying led astray

make another mountain
move before it's over
try to pick a saviour
if you know his name
but mary's crying
on the edge of heaven
deliberation's bad for faith
she claims

last temptation;
touch me
before you close your eyes
die a martyr to your principles
'cause you're the only god
who's visible tonight

they all seem to be the same
so hard to decide
when a million gods retain
all there is to find
there's another universe
behind each blinding flare
suddenly they'll all emerge
but none of them would care

clinch onto the swirling wind
have a glimpse of ancient sins
taste a ray of amber light
as the weary sun goes down
there is yet another shore
luna's light won't
leave you anymore
closing in
closing in
a whisper in the rain;
no-one knows your name
you've heard that voice before

some wounds may never heal
(the ways of grace are narrow )
some secrets can't be sealed
(and in your head
the battle rages on)

someone said; you'd never learn
strange how people tend to yearn
long for insecurity
you fought to prove them wrong
you grew older, pages turned
some were right,
you never really learned
fast decisions made your way
too proud to quit the game
but now they know your name
be hailed for what you earned

some wounds may never heal
(the light confines the shadows)
some secrets can't be sealed
(but no-one cares
about the tears you cry)

men died for your belief
men that never knew
you wouldn't even try remember
responsibility
for those who couldn't tell
the enemy from defender

afraid to stop
and catch your breath ?
you know I'm right behind you
I guess; some time
you'll have to rest
and I'll be there
to push you through
I'm the burden you bear
on your shoulder
the voice in your head;
it's time to surrender

comprehend; I see your eyes
while you're changing, rearranging
make believe, islands apart
I'm still there for you
I swear it

I seek the wounded prey
in you
ways to convey your anger
while you are still
in mother's womb
I am sublime
in what we share
I'm a wave in the sand
tracing borders
I'm god in your hands
it's time you remember

comprehend; I am the sky
wipe away the silver lining
make believe,
dawn never comes
I'm still there for you

I know the will it takes
to cross the bridge
from here to never
I've seen a thousand pictures
of a dream I hardly could find
forever I will keep the memories
for only you to open
before you lose your mind
just before you lose
before you lose your mind
it's easy to get lost
in this mad, mad world

if I'm hard to find
stop the world
before you're falling off
try a second time
all I ever knew
I'd tell to you

a fading photo
on a wooden shelf
sneering in your face
unlike the memory
of the little boy
from what you call
the good old days"
the bitter taste of fall
the smell of wet
concrete walls
and still you count
the cries at night
you try to analyse

the solar serpent shines
reforms the shadows of the past
and evermore the torment lasts
the solar serpent shines

you traced the contours of a union
where only greed survives
convicted by the mass
you kept your course
with head held high
the victims at your feet
the mission must proceed
there is a higher cause you said
afraid to understand

the solar serpent shines
reforms the shadows of the past
eternally the cross will burn
the solar serpent shines

alone again
but yet not quite so sure
watch it coming

another day reaches for life
and when I see you're not there
I hush the sunrise
nails in my tired head
wide awake
wide awake
remember all
how you laughed
when you were near
things we never knew
the dreams that we shared
now I miss your warm embrace

once in my life
I could have had it all
someone turn back
turn back the time
I'd change tomorrow
tomorrow
once in my life
I should have cried your name
someone turn back the time
I know what went wrong

and I reach out for life
try to catch that moment
now I remember
the outline of her face
I know the pain she must have felt
when I came too close
when she was close to me
when the stars would summon
the angels

once in my life
I could have had it all
someone turn back
turn back the time
I'd change tomorrow
tomorrow
once in my life
I should have cried your name
someone turn back the time
I know what went wrong

how I wish that you were here
to fulfill the dreams we never dared
help me make it through
when the winter night is clear
I see stars, adore their multitude
they shine for you and I

When my father said
He loved me
I believed
When my mother asked,
Do you belong?
I said; I do
And their kingdom kept me sane
But passion grows where the weak succumb
It's too late
When the contradictions nail you down
When the altered mission failsIn your altered mind
When it's all apparent
Masterless you search the files

Got to find the one with my number
Got to strike
Before the captive falls
Got to find the one with my number
Got to strike
Gravity calls

Now my thoughts obey the hatred that I grow
And forevermore the evil seed I want to sow
What could make a man condemn
The crime he was born to defend?
What could make him believe?
The truth made him repent
When the altered mission fails
In your altered mind
When it's all apparent
Masterless you seek your kind

Got to find the one with my number
Got to strike
Before the captive falls
Got to find the one with my number
Got to strike
Gravity calls
