CD1:

1. Broken Dreams
++++++++++++++++
I can hear you calling, so many miles away
I can hear you screaming, oh Lord they have to pray
Can you feel the wind blows, cold sweat runs down your face
The children died of hunger, a human disgrace

We been losing our mind
At the end of our time

They sailed across the universe, from heaven down to earth
Riding on the ship of fools, the walls will be diturbed
They're on their way to hell and back, the legions of the glory
They're coming home, they touched the light, in the misty morning

We been losing our mind
At the end of our time

The cry of the nations, a lake of silent screams
It turned out to be broken dreams
Imprisoned in chains (and) don't know what it means
Locked up in a cage of broken dreams

A cloud filled up with water (is) falling from the sky
The wizard cried, the demon danced, sure they don't know why
The desert storm takes over now the labirynth of sin
Holy nights of dangerous games, will they ever win

We been losing our mind
At the end of our time

The cry of the nations, a lake of silent screams
It turned out to be broken dreams
Imprisoned in chains (and) don't know what it means
Locked up in a cage of broken dreams


2. Carousel
+++++++++++
We saw the wonderworld
Of all the wild wild horses
Flying around
Like an eagle in the sky
But we had been told
Of the danger of burning roses
Longing for you
And they're never asking why

Don't touch the flame
Run through the fire
Calling your name
We're flying higher
To the edge of the world

Carousel
Of broken dreams
Turning around in a circle
Carousel
You know what it means
Making a fool out of me

Far out in the distance
There was a place we once called home
Lost forever
Filled with emptiness and moan
The rising force of evil
Broke the chains of destination
Hard to believe
But there will be no recreation


3. The Masquerade Ball
++++++++++++++++++++++
See the sun over the rainbow
And the rain comes falling down
Holy nights
The spirit of the temple
The appeared to take the crown
Evil shadows
Were passing through the air
No one knows if he is there

The bell strikes midnight
And the mist begins to rise
The master's calling your name
Soul to soul
The last light of eternity
Lost fools for the game
Winged assasin
With power and his grace
The evil force
Arisen from the grave

It's the masquerade ball
See the wizards fly
There is no tomorrow
On the other side
The masquerade ball
Climb up to the stars
Through the winds of wonder
Evil's in despair
The masquerade ball

Dark shadows on the moon
The sun had turned to black
Evil eyes are ready to attack
Dust to dust, the mist was fading
The earls have just arrived
Who ever knows who will survive

Get away
From the demon dance
And lock all the doors
No place for the holy
This midnight romance
No prayers on the floor

On and on they sailed away
With fire in their eyes
The burning heat began to rise
Eye to eye with broken chains
They left the house of black (black black)
Escaping from final attack

Get away
From the demon dance
And lock all the doors
No place for the holy
This midnight romance
No prayers on the floor

On and on they sailed
With fire in their eyes
The burning heat began to rise
Eye to eye they climb


4. Ghosthunter
++++++++++++++
Out into the lost horizon, the mightly evil returns
Crawling up at the gates of doom,
born in a place where it burns
Causing an endless nightmare,
passing the edge of the time
The creatures from hell, the earls of the dark,
ready to take off your mind

The eye of Horus (and) the world is passing by
But there's no other way to reach out for the sky

He's called the Ghosthunter
The son of the light
He's called the Ghosthunter
Nobody else in sight

There will be no tomorrow, the reign of the evil will win
Frozen blood all over from the innocent victims of sin
They can't walk on water, they can't stay in light
They'll be lost in the dangerzone,
wrecked and ready to die

The eye of Horus (and) the world is passing by
But there's no other way to reach out for the sky

He's called the Ghosthunter
The son of the light
He's called the Ghosthunter
Nobody else in sight


5. Oceans Of Time
+++++++++++++++++
I see you turning
Turning away
And we're ready to leave
To the bridges of sin yeah

Seven wonders
We are ready to fly
Like an eagle
We're touching the sky

We sailed across the ocean
On the wind of the sea
We're sailing on the oceans of time
We're moving through the twilight
Passed the black moon on our way
We're sailing on the oceans of time

As the sun fades to dark light we knew
There was no way to return

All the stars were passing by
We're riding through the sky
On our endless journey through space

The dust turned to stone
And the black moon touched the dawn
As we tried to get out
Of this world of burning fear


6. Still I'm Sad
++++++++++++++++
See the stars come falling down from the sky
Gently passing, they kiss your tears and your cry
See the wind can't stop me blow your hair from your face
And the rain come falling down in its crazy way
Oooh
Still I'm sad, still I'm sad

Oh, myself, my tears just fall in the dust
They will dry every night we find the love
Hey, see the wind can't stop me blow time in my heart
And the rain come falling down while we are apart
Oooh
Still I'm sad, still I'm sad, oh!

See the stars come falling down from the sky
Gently passing, they kiss your tears and your cry
See the wind can't stop me blow your hair from your face
And the rain come falling down in its crazy way
Oooh

Oooh, oooh, oooh, ooo-ooh
I'm so sad, I'm so sad, yeah
Ooh, ooh...

But still I'm sad
Feeling so sad, feeling so bad, you're making me sad
Breaking my back, ah
Oooh, I'm sad, yeah


7. Come Back To Me
++++++++++++++++++
He was born with a six - string
Not a shotgun in his hand
And he walked across the water
To reach the promised land

And he searched for the future
For the meaning of our lives
Hearing echo in the distance
Telling love's so hard to find

Catch the storm
Don't wait until the dawn
Catch the storm
No way to run no more to roam

Come back to me
I need your love so bad
Come back to me
Without you I feel so sad
So sad

There were endless days and nights
Where our love turned into ice
But the flame's inside still burnin'
Broken dreams in paradise

We called the eyes of the rainbow
To free us from our sins
We searched the night for all lost promises
A fight we couldn't win


8. Burn / Purple Haze / Call Her Princess
(Live)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The sky is red, I don't understand,
Past midnight I still see the land.
People are sayin' the woman is damned,
She makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
The city's a blaze, the town's on fire.
The woman's flames are reaching higher.
We were fools, we called her liar.
All I hear is "Burn!"

I didn't believe she was devil's sperm.
She said, "Curse you all, you'll never learn!
When I leave there's no return."
The people laughed till she said, "Burn!"
Warning came, no one cared.
Earth was shakin', we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still I hear "Burn!"

Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things just don't seem the same
Actin' funny, but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky

Purple haze all around
Don't know if I'm comin' up or down
Am I happy or in misery?
Whatever it is that girl put a spell on me

Sheila, a rockin' girl
Sou can feel the power
She is 19, dressed in black
And rides hour after hour
Yeah, we all know

Every night, when the time is right
She spreads her legs of fire
Straps in black, lips in lila
She coolest my hot desire

Yeah, we all know
Ooh, they call her Princess
Ooh, she's the hottest bitch in town
Ooh, they call her Princess
Ooh, she's the hottest thing around

It's eight o'clock, she wants my rock
heavy sound is roaring,
Sheila's ass goes up and down,
it never seems to be boring

Yeah, we all know
Ooh, they call her Princess
Ooh, she's the hottest bitch in town
Ooh, they call her Princess
Ooh, she's the hottest thing around

Ooh, they call her Princess
Ooh, she's the hottest bitch in town
Ooh, they call her Princess
Ooh, she's the hottest thing around


9. Total Eclipse (Opus #2 Allegro E Andante)
(Instrumental)


10. Eternal Prisoner
++++++++++++++++++++
I saw the shadow rising
From a hill up down below
There was no place for hiding
Still I didn't know where to go

I'd better be aware of the place of no return
All I could hear was someone saying "Burn"

Eternal prisoner
Forever lost in space
Eternal prisoner
Forever locked in a cage

In the light of day
You can hear the wizard pray
And in the dark of the night
There was a rainbow shining bright

Eternal prisoner
Forever lost in space
Eternal prisoner
Forever locked in a cage

They never saw
The light of day
All they could do
Was wish and pray
They were tortured
To the bones
With swords and
Glowing stones

CD2:


1. Fool Fool
++++++++++++
Just a dream or a trick of illusion
Hiding back from a nightmare
Endless circles, so how could I know
Is it true or should I care

Fantasy is the name of the game
Brings you passion and pain
Moving pictures runnin' fast and slow
Gonna drive you insane

What about tomorrow
When the dreams become reality
The nights full of sorrow
A game between you and me

Fool fool
Don't wait for an answer
Fool fool
The devil is a dancer
Fool fool
Don't wait for an answer
Fool fool
The devil is a dancer

Goin' ground through a tunnel of hate
Endless fear and disaster
Scary dreams from the other side
From the soul of the master


2. Casbah
+++++++++
Here I go and make my final stand
Very far away there's the promised land

The eagle came down and took me away
Puts me down in a hole I can't see the light of day

Oohoh, riding on the wings of wonder
Ohh, can you feel, the fire from down under

Oh hoho - hoho
Oh hoho - hoho
Oh hoho, dreamin' of the casbah

The wizard prays in his unbroken rules
With tears in his eyes for a ship of fools

Then we sailed away and the sun turned black
We saw the eyes of the lost and we're never comin' back


3. Snake Eyes
(Live '95)
+++++++++++++
There's a hot new piece slippin'thru the city
Slitherin' 'round sneakin' out lookin' much too pretty
Got her number got her thru my bedroom door
Coiled her legs around me then she wanted more

Don't make me beg like a dog without a bone
Come on little sweetie don't cha turn your heart to stone

She's burnin' I'm learnin'
She's got Snake Eyes
She's burnin' I'm learnin'
Can't stop and won't think twice
She's burnin' I'm learnin'
She's got Snake Eyes
She's burnin' I'm learnin'
She controls the dice - Snake Eyes

Come on snake eyes get it while it's hot
Fell the venom sting ya get every last drop


4. Mistreated
(Live '95)
+++++++++++++
I've been mistreated, I've been abused.
I've been struck downhearted, baby, I've been confused
'cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated.
Since my baby left me I've been losing my mind, you know I have.

I've been lonely, I've been cold.
I've been looking for a woman to have and hold
'cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated.
Since my baby left me I've been losing, I've been losing,
I've been losing my mind, baby baby babe.

I've been mistreated, I've been abused.
I've been looking for a woman, yeh, I've been confused
'cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated, ooh o-o-oh.
Since my baby left me I've been losing, losing,
I've been losing my mind, baby baby babe.
Oh oh oh, oh woman, oh woman, oh woman.

I've been losing my mind


5. Magic
++++++++
Somewhere in the distance
Was a place you can't describe
All people lived in anger
They thought it wasn't right, they called it tragedy

All fools, they disappeared
They were lost and never seen
Sometimes you hear the screams
Of the souls of the undead in the midnight hour

Don't walk alone
Hide your skin and your bones
Beware of all dark in the night

It's magic
It's magic
Burning symbols on the wall
It's magic
They search for you, they search for all

Living for today
'Cause tomorrow never comes
Oh Lord, they have to pray
That no evil's coming out of the rotten swamp

At the houses of the holy
They tried to break the walls
Their whispered dream to turn the key, an evil laugh
And they knew, they will be restrained


6. The Clown Is Dead
++++++++++++++++++++
The death of a clown
Reminds you all lifetime
A lake full of tears
Overflowed the world

The reaper brought pain
So sad are the children
Their time of mourning
Will be forever

Where did he go
No laughter in heaven
Where did he go
Where did he stay?

The clown is dead
The laughter is gone
The clown is dead
A life's on the run

Behind his mask
He was only human
A person who feels
Like you and me

Can't you see the light
The star that shined so bright
Was it a luck sign
From someone who says i'm alright

The clown is dead
...Will the laughter return...
We'll never know

Innocence, laughter, madness,
Tears, death, heaven, pain...


7. Nasty Reputation
+++++++++++++++++++
Can you see me racing down the highway
Can you see me walking on the moon
No one cares, I'm gonna do it my way
I don't care, I'm breaking all the rules

I see the fire, the flame is burning bright
I'm a live wire, I don't know what's wrong or right

I've got a nasty reputation
From town to town
You know we came to rock the nation
Oh ho ho

Can you hear me screaming on the TV, yeaah
I wanna see you rockin' to the show
Anyway, I never take it easy
Anyday, I'm ready to explode

I've got the action, and you can't slow me down
It's a chain reaction, I'm gonna turn you upside down

I've got a nasty reputation
It's all around
You know I came to rock the nation
I've got a nasty reputation
From town to town
You know I came to rock the nation
Rock me


8. Land Of The Giants
+++++++++++++++++++++
Is this a dream or a fantasy come true
voices in the night,
they are calling me and you
Long way to nowhere,
in the hot desert sand
from far away,
I can see the promised land

Someone whispers
in the darkness of the night
Shadows on the wall,
a flame that's shining bright

In the land of the Giants
In the land of the Giants

Faces in the mirror,
lost and can't escape
Like an animal who's lonely,
Locked up in a cage
riding on the edge, open up the gate
See the world of lost horizons
time is running late

Someone whispers
in the darkness of the night
Shadows on the wall,
a star is shining bright
In the land of the Giants
In the land of the Giants


9. Hear You Calling Me
++++++++++++++++++++++
Turning out the light, ready for some action
My stick of dynamite, high level satisfaction,
Dig your nails in deep, pull the hammer down,
Give all your lovin', shake my bones to the ground,

We walk thru the fire, it never causes pain
We're on a high wire, gettin' a little insane

In the dead of night, I wanna hear you calling me,
Calling me
In the dark of the night, I wanna hear you scream.
In the dead of night, I wanna hear you calling me,
Calling me
In the dark of night, I wanna hear you scream

Rollin' and tumblin' out the bedroom door,
Crazy little sister's cryin' out for more,
Take me to the limit, don't bring me back,
Can't get enough, it's a love attack
