Retrospect 2000

Shadow like London's vice is creeping through the night Protected - by night and fog Covered - in defiance of law and order From new England came a quack to find his victims Devilish - sly in his mind No clue will bring explanation, no suspicion Scotland yard gropes in the dark ("I keep on hearing that the police will catch me soon I have laughed about that they seem to look so clever They say I'm a doctor now Have you seen the devil with his scalpel?" "I love my work and want to start again You will soon hear of me and my funny little games The next job I'll do - I shall put the lady's ears of and Send it to the police officers just for joy Catch me if you can - GOOD LUCK...!") Who will be able stop the devil's game...? Who will be able stop the devil's game...? Who will be able stop the devil's game...? Who will be able stop the devil's game...?

When comes the time Where a new age begins and where religions are meaningless? When comes the time Where we live in harmony with mother earth? A man from salon Known as Michel de Notre dame Had visions even in his childhood The course of history was known to him But he couldn`t tell it anyone The lord of Lilly won`t trust him In a gilded cage he will die soon But he didn`t wanted to know about this thread And so fate was fulfilled In a cruel way CODED HIDDEN BUNED CODED HIDDEN BURNED AND MISUNDERSTOOD See how the old sun falls Use the time and solve the mystery Will rule eternal darkness Or will rise a new sun? Those which we`ve lost 2000 years ago? CODED HIDDEN BURNED AND MISUNDERSTOOD

Hathor and Anubis have awaked Their cold breath is spreading In the valley of kings a slight breath Of disquiet the death is near A gleam of light falls in the darkness Who dares to disturb the peace of the godlike king? The light of the torches Fight its way through the dark rooms And light up the maze Wyes which hardly accustomed to the darkness See what for thousands years Only could be seen by Ra's eyes They desecrate the peace of Tut-ench-Amun Blinded by gold and precious stones And only concerned about their own glory No-one observes the inscription on the wall That promises misfortune For those who despise Amon-Ré and his son...! Hathor and Anubis have awaked Their cold breath is spreading In the valley of kings a slight breath Of disquiet the death is near The lord of the sun doesn't know any mercy

A scientist drifts in his boat the silent river down He follows the waters current (The flow which defrauds him...) On this place there are living the gods, And there the clouds will be born in water....! Refrain: Where the rainbow raises in the unknown.... Where a river flows into the lowlands.... Where the water darts in steep bows into the deep.... Where gigantic veils of tight haze rise.... And the elements build a unit! On this place there are living the gods, and there the clouds will be born in water....! The monotony of whistling chuckling and singing voices Is tiring out of man and suddenly - (a rolling thunder) First still in distance but soon a increasing loudness Thunder - like from a storm of nature breaks the still around Closer and closer comes the risk.... Now return or approach to the shores It's urgent - the time runs against him On this place there are living the gods, And there the clouds will be born in water....! Refrain A scientist drifts in his boat the silent river down He follows the waters current (The flow which defrauds him...)

A young aristocrat came to Paris To marriage Margot the King`s sister (But his Religion wasn't the religion of the Valois) This wedding meant new hope After too many wars Which didn't gave this land any peace Thousands came to the capital To celebrate this wedding of peace Thousands didn't knew their destiny They only came to die Refrain: Which is the true religion? One nation divided A wedding should bring peace between the religions But the night of St. Bartholomew Destroyed every hope Une mort terrible au nom du même dieu

A diary, cased in old leather Tells the story of a Swiss medicine He wrote down his precious life And filled the empty pages with his lifework Refrain: Is death the final end? Can I reanimate those I once loved? You can read about my father He was known as a doctor and healer And his ownership of property You can read about my mother The one I loved more than everything She died in childbed as she gave Birth to my brother Refrain To his German teacher Weidmann he remained Faithful and according to his theory He created a new life Death isn't the end I can reanimate those I once loved

Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young In a world of magnets and miracles Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary The ringing of the division bell had begun Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway Do they still meet there by the Cut There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps Running before times took our dreams away Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground To a life consumed by slow decay The grass was greener The light was brighter When friends surrounded The nights of wonder Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again Dragged by the force of some inner tide At a higher altitude with flag unfurled We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world Encumbered forever by desire and ambition There's a hunger still unsatisfied Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon Though down this road we've been so many times The grass was greener The light was brighter The taste was sweeter The nights of wonder With friends surrounded The dawn mist glowing The water flowing The endless river Forever and ever
