1. 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
2. Broken Heart
+++++++++++++++
I'm lost in a dream, with a mind's full of sadness,
I remember the good times, that we had in our madness,
Frozen tears with illusions of fire,
All of my life was filled with desire
Oh I wish we could go back to where we started,
Love, lost love, you're so cold, cold hearted,
The fire in your eyes gets me out of my mind,
How could it be, that you're so blind
Hunting the shadow, that was lost in the past
Like a soldier of fortune, who's life couldn't last,
Falling tears, from a love's not in vain
Time tells no lies, could our love come back again
Don't leave me alone
With my broken heart
Can't you see, that I've loved you from the start
Don't leave me alone
With my broken heart
Can't you see, that I've loved you from the start
3. 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
4. Oceans Of Time
+++++++++++++++++
I see you turning, turning away
And we're ready to leave the bridges of sin
Seven wonder, we're ready to fly
Like an restless eagle, we're touching the sky
We sailed across the ocean
On the winds of the sea
We're sailing on the oceans of times
We're moving through th 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 we're 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 the world of burning fear
5. I Believe In You
+++++++++++++++++++
Put a spell on you
Runnin' through your veins
Don't give up you fool
Don't cry in the rain
Burnin' fever
Is drivin' you insane
All of your life you have tried
To follow your dreams
Don't turn back and run away
There'll be no regrets, no way
Don't turn back and run away
I need you here please stay
I believe in you
Don't give up you fool
I believe in you
Don't break down the rule
I believe in you
Don't give up you fool
I believe in you
Don't break that rule
With your back to the wall
You were lost out in the cold world
All the feelings are gone
They were just fading away
So you realize that there'll be soon
A new tomorrow
You're casting the spell
Which will free you from your dreams
6. Ashes From The Oath
++++++++++++++++++++++
Silent night, we saw the rainbow in the sky
Filled with hope, ready to cry
Roaring thunder and the moon was passing by
Crack in the wall, light in the sky
Early morning, the strangers sailed away
We don't want another day
We looked for the truth, for the reasons of our fate
But all reply we got was hate
The black light's calling and the moon eclipsed the sun
Endless whispers and nowhere to run
We tried to get out we're lost under the gun
In the chance waiting for the dawn
Burning candles, the smoke that filled the air
We called the fire, to help us, to be there
Kings and queens, the illusions of our dreams
Surrounded by the fear that the end is coming near
All we need is the answer from the lost world of home
And we pray till the morning on the ashes from the oath
The ashes from the oath
And we search for tomorrow for our lives and our sins
And our praying still goes on and on, on the ashes from the oath
The ashes from the oath
7. Silent Angel
(Instrumental)
8. The Eyes Of The Lost
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Rainy days
They sailed across the ocean
They're called the children of the sea
They are the damned
Hunted by the humans
From the palace of the king
Circle of fools
You're living in a mystery
With your spirits lost and gone
Unholy light, the dark side of the night
Sure that noone can go on
They rolled the dice
From the temple of the holy
And the moon unmasked the night
They're choosen victims
For the hunters of the darkness
And the miracle's out of sight
Circle of fools
You're living in a mystery
With your spirits lost and gone
But the seal is broken
And the oath has been crossed
And look intro the eyes of the lost, the eyes of the lost...
9. Innocent Child
+++++++++++++++++
Hangin' out on the street
With a face full of tears
I couldn't understand why
He puts me down in a hole
I don't know where to go
That's tearin' at my soul
Endless pains goin' far too long
Broken souls could never be so strongagain
I'm an innocent child
Hear me calling
I'm an innocent child
Hear me calling
I'm an innocent child
Hear me calling
Innocent child
Hear me calling
The nice guy was calling
He taught us not to fear
And don't go cryin' to others
He was bad to the bone
With a heart made of stone
Naked bodies all alone
10. Silent Angel
(Instrumental)
11. Hey Joe
+++++++++++
Hey Joe - Where you going with that gun in your hand
Hey Joe - Where you going with that gun in your hand
Going down to shoot my old lady
You know I caught her messing around with another man
Going down to shoot my old lady
You know I caught her messing around on me
Hey Joe - I heard that you shot your old lady down
Hey Joe - I heard that you shot your old lady down
Yes I did, I shot her her
You know, I caught that girl messing around town
Yes I did, I shot her her
You know, I caught that girl messing around town
I took out my gun,
Then I shot her
I shot her
Hey Joe - Where you gonna run to now
Hey Joe - Where you gonna run to now
Where you gonna go
Ain't no hangman gonna
Get a rope around me
Ain't no hangman gonna
Get a rope around me. (no one gonna)
Goin' way down south
Way down to Mexico way
Goin' way down south
Way down where I can be free
Back
