01. India

Music & lyrics by Marco Heubaum
On!
Sailing on!
To our fate!
To India?

Above the seas with the wind we are flying high
Our wings are sails and our trail means no second try
Golden and silver the future will be
When we're at the aim

Forward we sail into the unknown
We have no fear we're sacred
We're going to where no one has gone before
Keep on til we have reached the sunset
There will be no withdrawal
We're heading for the the treasures of India

Stars show the way through the night, we don't look behind
Water supplies getting low but we're strong in mind
Power and glory will come to us all
When we're at the aim

Forward we sail into the unknown
We have no fear we're sacred
We're going to where no one has gone before
Keep on til we have reached the sunset
There will be no withdrawal
We're heading for the the treasures of India

Once there was a vision to find
A new land behind the horizon
When we chased the sun
A whole new world was born

My dearest wishes they will be fulfilled
When we have reached our destination

Forward we sail into the unknown
We have no fear we're sacred
We're going to where no one has gone before
Keep on til we have reached the sunset
There will be no withdrawal
We're heading for the the treasures of India

On!
Sailing on!
To our fate!
To India?

02. Now & Forever

Music & lyrics by Marco Heubaum
Millions of songs all these years in my soul
And when we met I just knew they're for you
Now your voice is singing them all
Your wings at mine we will never fall

On and on
We will fly now & forever
Side to side now & forever my love

Thousands of miles through the cold stormy air
There's really nothing that I wouldn' dare
I climb the eye of the hurricane
When the winds are whispering your name

On and on
We will fly now & forever
Side to side now & forever my love

03. In Love With The Darkness

Music by Marco Heubaum, Lisa & Nils Middelhauve
Lyrics by Lisa & Nils Middelhauve
No more tears
I'm out of fears
I'm out of pain
I'm out in the rain

It will gently wash away
The light of the day

I'm in love with the darkness of the night
I'm in love with all that's out of sight
I'm in love with the magic of the new
And the darkness loves me, too

Finally
It covers me
It makes me taste
It's sure embrace

It will gently take away
The sorrows of the day

I'm in love with the darkness of the night
I'm in love with all that's out of sight
I'm in love with the magic of the new
And the darkness loves me, too

Come out, come out wherever you are
Don't hide, don't hide near or far
Don't hide

I'm in love with the darkness of the night
I'm in love with all that's out of sight
I'm in love with the magic of the new
And the darkness loves me, too

04. Fight Me

Music & lyrics by Marco Heubaum
I cannot turn away
From this obscurity
A nameless force
Is stealing my face

Come and, try to, fight me
You will, never, break me

I know it's the final breath I'm taking if I let you win
So I cannot be the one forgiving or I'm giving in

Now I can see you
You were just hiding
You won't betray me
Cause now I know your name

Come and, try to, fight me
You will, never, break me

I know it's the final breath I'm taking if I let you win
So I cannot be the one forgiving or I'm giving in

Come and, try to, fight me
You will, never, break me

I know it's the final breath I'm taking if I let you win
So I cannot be the one forgiving or I'm giving in

05. Black & Silver

Music by Marco Heubaum & Lisa Middelhauve
Lyrics by Lisa & Nils Middelhauve
I am amused
You seem to love me
But be reserved
Before you huff me

I'm used to winners
I need the fame
And if you touched me
You'd be my shame

Your childish dreams are all in vain
To me your kind is all the same

A starlit sky
Of black and silver is my core
My last goodbye
Makes you want me even more
For silver is my fame
Black is my name

I am a queen
And if you creep
I'll push my blade
Still-water-deep

I am a dream
A fairy-tale
Your endless quest
Your holy grail

Thanks so much for your confusion
I will be your lost illusion

A starlit sky
Of black and silver is my core
My last goodbye
Makes you want me even more
For silver is my fame
Black is my name

Deep inside
The silver shines as black as can be
My disguise
The wolf among the sheep, you want me
To me your kind is all the same
To me your kind is all the same

A starlit sky
Of black and silver is my core
My last goodbye
Makes you want me even more
For silver is my fame
Black is my name

06. Like A Rose On The Grave Of Love

Music & lyrics by Lisa Middelhauve
Come like the dusk
Like a rose on the grave of love
You are my lust
Like a rose on the grave of love

I curse the day I first saw you
Like a rose that is born to bloom
Don't look at me the way you do
Like the roses, they fear the gloom

Your thorns, they kissed my blood

Your beauty heals, your beauty kills
And who would know better than I do?
Pretend you love me!

Indeed, reality seems far
When a rose is in love with you
Slaves of our hearts, that's what we are
We loved and died where roses grew

They watched us silently

A rose is free, a rose is wild
And who would know better than I do?
Roses are not made for love

Come like the dusk
Like a rose on the grave of love
You are my lust
Like a rose on the grave of love

07. Widescreen

Music by Marco Heubaum
Lyrics by Nils Middelhauve
Watching it on widescreen all the time
Bringing our lives into one line
Fashion be my guide

Cold sweat, there's something on I don't know yet
Thoroughly making my mind mad, I'll jump onto this
Fast train, ruling my life on the fast lane, being a part is a vast strain
I am and I am

Watching it on widescreen all the time
Bringing our lives into one line
Fashion be my guide
Reflections of what they want us to be
Uniformed we are right what we see
A pressure I can't hide

Downfall of visions and dreams, gotta have all,
Like lemmings we rush for the roll call, deprived of all we
Stand for, united we stand as a main bore, just numbers, no names on this dead score
We are and we are

Watching it on widescreen all the time
Bringing our lives into one line
Fashion be my guide
Reflections of what they want us to be
Uniformed we are right what we see
A pressure I can't hide

08. The End Of Every Story

Music by Marco Heubaum & Philip Restemeier
Lyrics by Marco Heubaum
Do you know we reached somehow the end of every story
Welcome to the final show it's here in all its glory

All we've been, all we see was born so long ago
In times of joy and of tears, we carried on
The winds were still, did no harm to our shores
But the seed's already sewn, now the storm will come

Over and over we're downcast
Only, it's only a dark past

Do you know we reached somehow the end of every story
Welcome to the final show it's here in all its glory
You can run but all you flee is a life of sorrow
Time will tell what kind of fate will be waiting for us now

Built on sand by our hands were all of our homes
Turn around, realize this world is not our own
So we have to succumb to the call of fate
Hear it now, it leads us down to future's open gate

Falling we're falling with closed eyes
Losing now losing our old disguise

Do you know we reached somehow the end of every story
Welcome to the final show it's here in all its glory
You can run but all you flee is a life of sorrow
Time will tell what kind of fate will be waiting for us now

09. Who We Are (And Who We Want To Be)

Music & lyrics by Lisa Middelhauve
One eye is green, one eye is black
Life threw me down, love broke my neck
I've made mistakes, I'm just a girl
Who wants to live her life
And if I was wrong, I tried to be right
I wanted to survive

Who we are
And who we want to be
Is not the same all the time
And what we say
And what we want to say
Is not the same sometimes

No doubt, I'm okay, but okay is out
My heart's to silent, my voice too loud
Why do they hurt me, why do I
Hurt them, why do I care?
I want to start again from beginning
But I don't dare

Who we are
And who we want to be
Is not the same all the time
And what we say
And what we want to say
Is not the same sometimes

10. Dancer

Music & lyrics by Marco Heubaum
She walks on the moonlit snow
She's winterhearted, so you say
But you don't see

She's a dancer on the glass
That's broken like her past
She would never flee

Fascination is her name

She is dancing in the wind
Almost dancing everything
Every moment of her life
She is taking me with her
With the music in her heart
She is breaking every ice

She is talking with the world
A far-traveled bird
Her soul's her home

See how light are all her moves
Just follows her own rules
But she is not alone

Fascination is her name

She is dancing in the wind
Almost dancing everything
Every moment of her life
She is taking me with her
With the music in her heart
She is breaking every ice
In me

11. Winterhearted

Music by Lisa Middelhauve, Marco Heubaum, Philip Restemeier
Lyrics by Lisa & Nils Middelhauve
I was a fool for what I thought was love
And I tried my best to keep up what we had
We had a vision, no, I had a vision
And now I've to see that the vision is dead

One of us is winterhearted
One of us is cold as ice
One of us is breaking hearts
And it's not me

I was romantic, so silly and blind
I told the world that true love had a name
But all that is left now is pity and shame

One of us is winterhearted
One of us is cold as ice
One of us is breaking hearts
And it's not me

12. Return To India

Music & lyrics by Nils Middelhauve
Sun rays touching my skin like a stream of gold
Beauty, fame and wealth smell nice on top of the world
Made my day, this day made me the blessed one
My achievements will shine bright when all the smoke is gone

All those years and with all my heart reaching out for what would broaden my horizon
Perpetual striving made my life complete and now that I reached new dimensions
I wonder why, I wonder why

There's still something in my head I fail to explain
Falling deep into this void, only silence to remain
Sheer enlightenment of the soul that's what I hoped to find
Reduced to instincts I've to see there will be no peace of mind

Left behind the ghosts I knew so well, stepped into the light, into a new beginning
But can it be I miss their company, need their guidance and advice to define
The inner me

Where's my dream of India?
Dead-end street to India
Been so close and yet so far
No return to India

Expectations once so high now seem down and low
They once sent shivers down my spine, now make me tremble in my bones
Where's the dream that made me be, made me carry on
Gave my longing for an end just to find that nothings won

Means to an end we're dedicated to might set an end to all those means we have to offer
I can't escape from this lifelong dream, I'm a captice of it's shadows,
awaken, end to all sleep

Where's my dream of India?
Dead-end street to India
Been so close and yet so far
Give me back my India
