01. Time What Is Time

When the moonchild is crying
And silence has broken
The darkest truth

The things she remembered
Had never been her own
Replicant or human
I know the way to show
What do I see
What will I find
Know the answer inside
It's your last step

Time what is time
I wish I knew how to tell You why
It hurts to know
Aren't we machines
Time what is time
Unlock the door
And see the truth
Then time is time again

Whispering
These dreams were never mine
It's cold inside
It's gone forever
The things he saw
Who can say what's wrong or right
The vision of a free life
His eyes had seen it all
For what
He's asking
The vision, vision, vision
I know it's all a lie
I'll remember his past life
And I'll remember time

What did I see
What have I done
God I knew the answers
When he felt so tired

Time what is time
Come lock the door don't let me in
I am the one Your destiny
Time what is time
Reality - It hurts me so
When time is time again

Look into my eyes
Feel the fear just for a while
I'm a replicant and I love to live
Is it all over now
Only these years
I'll leave but I'm singing

Time what is time
He saw it clearly it's too late
It does not heal but it lets us forget
Time what is time
We'll never know
So don't take care
Then time is time again

Should I forget
The way I feel
God he knows how long I tried
Feel there is no reason to cry
I live my life
In fortune dreams forever

02. Theatre Of Pain

The giant's lost
And all round him
Destructed for what
They all knew what it meant
But they couldn't change it
Lord they had gone too far
Leave them alone

It's all gone
What is left behind
On a desert we called earth
When the last whale went away
Did they ever see the tears

Don't fear Your last step
From the theatre of pain
And the children will love Your singing
From the sea
The sea is calling
Now we've to leave it

The sea was clear
On the day I was stranded
Answers I'd known
To keep this all alive
But I can't change it
Forever

Now I'm gone
And it seems that life had never existed
So we left the dark and cold
All I left behind are my tears

Don't fear Your last step
From the theatre of pain
And the children will love Your singing
From the sea
The sea is calling
I hear them calling

03. Ashes To Ashes

Taste the poison
Feel that this is life
Hallowed be the game
Of life and innocence
God's waiting for him
Join us at the road to fate
There are no two paths
Feel the pain
Which steps into his life

Agony
He'll be crucified
Death awaits
Knocking at his door
Agony
Leave him
The clock will strike the end
Hell or heaven
Reflect and fade away

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The life clock strikes and You obey
Like a candle light that fades
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
When the life clock strikes You will obey
Time isn't here to stay
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
the life clock strikes and You obey
A light shows the right way

Morning is whispering in my head
Too late to say goodbye
Too late
The last breath's done
Deliverance at all
he's born to find this end
I am the one
The one who's calling
Obey my call to the cemetary
And don't be afraid
To step into the dark
Be sure that my voice
will take You home

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The life clock strikes and You obey
Like a candle light that fades
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
When the life clock strikes You will obey
Time isn't here to stay

No hope he'd waited so long
This can't be God's will
He surrendered long ago
There was no real chance

Ashes to ashes and dust will be dust
Ashes to ashes, you all will be dust again

The clock had struck the end
Up to heaven
Reflexions fade away

Taste the poison
Feel that this is life
Hallowed be the game

04. Trial By Fire

In 1945 the year it came to be
Their fate decided
many miles accross the sea
They told them not to fear
they couldn't be prepaired.
Then came the day
that not a single soul was spared.

Too late there's no escape
The Trial has begun
Down they fly
From out of the sky
Feel the radiation burn !

The men of power
had nothing to fear.
When the finger hits the switch
they're far away from here.
Down in their sanctuary
hidding in their lair.
The sorcerers of justice
will be waiting for them there.

Too late there's no escape
The Trial has begun
Down they fly
From out of the sky
Feel the radiation burn !

I saw the people running
through all my dreams.
I heard the soldiers crying,
Mother Nature screams.
I saw destruction falling
from out of the sky.
I heard the Wise Man calling .... WHY ???????

In 1945 the year it came to be
Their fate decided
many miles accross the sea
They told them not to fear
they couldn't be prepaired.
Then came the day
that not a single soul was spared.

Too late there's no escape
The Trial has begun
Down they fly
From out of the sky
Feel the radiation burn !

05. Spread Your Wings

Sammy was low,
Just watching the show,
Over and over again.
He knew it was time,
He'd made up his mind,
To leave his dead life behind.

His boss said to him
Boy, you'd better begin
To get those crazy notions
Right out of your head
Sammy who do you think that you are?
You should have been sweeping,
At the emerald bar.

Spread your wings and fly away,
Fly away, far away.
Spread your little wings and fly away
Fly away, far away.
Pull yourself together,
'Cause you know you should do better,
That's because you're a free man.

He spends his evenings alone,
In his hotelroom.
Keeping his thoughts to himself,
He'd be leaving soon.
Wishing he was miles and miles away,
Nothing in this world, nothing,
Would make him stay.

Since he was small,
Had no luck at all,
Nothing came easy to him.
Now it was time,
He'd made up his mind,
This could be my last change

His boss said to him
Now listen boy, you're always dreaming,
You got no real ambition,
You won't get worried for.
Sammy, boy don't you know who you are?
Why can't you be happy,
At the emerald bar?

(so honey) spread you wings and fly away,
Fly away, far away.
Spread your little wings and fly away,
Fly away, far away.
Pull yourself together,
'Cause you know you should do better,
That's because your a free man.
Come on honey (fly with me)...
