The Missing Link

This place, home for all generations, never's been to small when all life worked hand in hand the centuries passed one by one without changing the circumstances that we needed to be there Like a firestorm when all home dies and fear is born to feed the firestorm Like a firestorm that burns the ground you're standing on we'll feed the firestorm And then - slowly but surely - explorers and inventors stepped into the system they didn't understand that's when the trouble began and when the time marched on they had learned how to destroy Like a firestorm... The end of the story is: nothing's impossible and that's what we're afraid of apocalyptic signs, our homestead stands in flames guess we missed the lesson modesty

Her mother told her everyday: "Never lose control Whatever then may come your way, a good girl takes it all." And all the years she held her peace and followed every rule but then depression dried her heart and now she's screaming out Nevermore - never we'll forget Nevermore - one day you'll regret He used to be a follower and did what he was told whatever they squeezed out of him a good man bears it all. But one day he was in their way did not fit in their plan they tried to kick him from the boat and now he's screaming out Nevermore - never we'll forget Nevermore - one day you'll regret Never we'll forget, no! Nevermore - never evermore...

This is mine, here's where my home is I don't want to let you break into my world All my life I've been looking for something that's my own, I'm so glad I found it now Don't you step on this ground I don't want to lose an inch of my freedom I'll lose my soul if you steal my refuge Leave my cloud and stay away this is my refuge play your dirty tricks, my friend but leave my refuge I grow stronger and you feel smaller guess that's your reason for taking up my time with every secret that you make public your influence on my life grows, ain't this true? Don't step on this ground I don't want to lose an inch of my freedom I'll lose my soul if you steal my refuge Leave my cloud and stay away this is my refuge play your dirty tricks, my friend but leave my refuge Leave my refuge

In the darkness left alone Walls surround that hellish hole deadly deep and no way out from above I hear a swinging metal blade clinging In the pit and the pendulum the pit and the pendulum comin' near and nearer In the inquisition's claw sentence of death is their law though unholy and sadistic it's a question of their honour, of gods to die for With the pit and the pendulum the pit and the pendulum swingin' above my throat The pit and the pendulum could it be the soldiers ‘re coming? The pit and the pendulum do they open up my prison?

Hey don't walk on by you, don't stomp on my face Once I was like you I didn't care for nothing else had no sense for more than money and fame power and greed and the so called honour Now I am gone and my body lies cold not much is left, so I pray From the underworld, oh, listen now! From the underworld, oh, listen now! Listen now! Time - I never had rushed through a restless day You seem to be blind, too, when luck comes your way You had no patience with people who cared until you lost them and when you grow old you'll be a lonely rich man without hope there's more to be than we see From the underworld, oh, listen now! From the underworld, oh, listen now! Listen now!

Oh! When I remember what happened that lead me right here What made me lonely and forced me to disappear... There were periods in my life that came from my darkest depths, beyond the edge Like a delirium I couldn’t help, I drifted aside, it wasn’t right! Time, time had slipped away Life was a distant haze This was on certain days... I, I had lost my way Got lost without a trace This was on certain days... I went mad! I can recall the days when things were fine Everyone was happy enjoying their time... But the first time it came over me I had lost my friends, I did harm to them The judges told me I was insane, I tried to kill, I tried to kill! Time, time had slipped away Life was a distant haze This was on certain days... I, I had lost my way Got lost without a trace This was on certain days... This was on certain days... This was on certain days... I went mad! Time, time had slipped away Life, a distant haze This was on certain days... I, I had lost my way Lost without a trace This was on certain days... This was on certain days... This was on certain days... Time, time had slipped away Life, a distant haze This was on certain days... I, I had lost my way Lost without a trace This was on certain days...

Why do you look for answers in the extremes? Forget the radical ‘cause the truth is mostly somewhere in between Nevermind the simple minded as long their heart beats in the right place, but for heaven's sake if they forgot their aims (and to tell their kids) Now they are trapped and they don't even care still they don't understand what it means dimborn they never have learned anything they are trapped in a world reigned in fear Who dares to stop these fools? We need revolution - someone has to change the crusted rites but we need heads that can think before they act ‘cause it has to happen in a way that changes the conditions for the better There's no time for old mistakes Now they are trapped... Who dares to stop these fools? Brutality is trendy, discussing's for old farts Today the cracked voice of youth screams out the fatal fascists call All the mindless, unwanted, frustrated think that there's a way to bring sense in their life They confuse the Free with lemmings... Now they are trapped... Who dares to stop these fools?

Will you wake me? Wake me when I'm dead I think it's time now, I gotta go but don't you shed a tear when I'm gone. Before it's over, I hope that I don't suffer too much, when it's over I don't want to miss this place I hate to leave, I just can't face realities of death, I will deny realities of death, I will deny Will you wake me? Wake me when I'm dead And when I grow cold you cotta put a spell on me, before I grow cold Just one injection and maybe I can stay on your side if the shot works I don't want to miss your face the warmth of summer springtime's grace realities of death, I will deny realities of death, I will deny Will you wake me? Wake me when I'm dead

An antarctic land, deadly unknown where we explored a mountain range and on the highest ridge we found remains of buildings like no man's eye had ever seen A city forgotten on top of the world and entry we found in a stonewall and walked a stairway built aeons ago to streets and houses covered under ice and snow Walls that had mosaics with pictures and reliefs faces that no eyes'd ever seen, l like half flesh and half of steel they had headphones stuck to their skulls no muscles, just wires, a technical pulse The creatures look weird, scary and strange the art on the walls, it told us their tale They came from a planet lightyears away from here to bring knowledge, truth and culture to this undeveloped place the fathers out of space Before life crept out of water mother earth was occupied but the climate changed the borders, now they are lost in the ice Now they are lost in the ice, lost in the ice They build up life from desert and stones Our planet grew up helped by elder ones Then the ice came and they had to move away to the middle earth and then the stories on the pictures ended when they had left the land Before life crept out of water mother earth was occupied but the climate changed the borders, now they are lost in the ice Now they are lost in the ice, lost in the ice All their buildings, streets and stonewalls sleep in this forgotten place but what happened to the creatures when they were lost in the ice Now they are lost in the ice, lost in the ice What a strange and awful vision for us all it made us shiver to the bone what if now some of these creatures still survived in the caves under the Pole? Before life crept out of water... And then we walked beneath the city, hours and hours when suddenly we heard a strange and distant sound all I remember is my flight from this dark place a flight from the alien creature's face, my ancestor from space Lost in the ice Whoever was these old remains, his blood is flowing in my veins is flowing in my veins

In her diary's black pages the stories end in dark sadness and what she never dared to say is in her diary's black pages She's a magician, she's got second sight sends her mind wandering into the night, into the future - stories untold tragedies and accidents - she always knows In her diary's black pages the stories end in dark sadness and what she never dared to say is in her diary's black pages Brother kills brother, family fights Fire burns babies while the mother sleeps tight. Whatever she's dreaming, it's gonna be real She couldn't help it when she writes hat she's seen.

Is it right or is it wrong what Darwin said ‘bout evolution? But why the advance in the apeman's brain amongst the multitude of creatures in life's veins? Now they found a fossil and they can't explain where it belongs whoever was this stone remains - his blood is flowing in my veins The missing link the thing that made us think where we are from and where our mind belongs the missing link from ages when the birth of man began Now so what if it's as the prophets said in olden days an unknown father from the stars brought words and wisdom to us all Now the stones have given free a bridge to our unknown past whoever was this stone remains - his blood is flowing in my veins The missing link the thing that made us think came far from space was from an elder race the missing link from ages when the birth of man began Is it right or is it wrong what Darwin said bout evolution? Now the stones have given free a bridge to our unknown past whoever was this stone remains- his blood is flowing in my veins The missing link the thing that made us think came far from space was from an elder race the missing link the thing that made us think where we are from and where our mind belongs the missing link's remains should make us think!

This time the wind has blown me forwards from the sick and stinking harvest. I've laid her much too long. I feel like an old and restless sailor with visions long forgotten, a free will much to strong. Raw caress Right then, when darkness fell around me and my fruits no longer ripened, and end was coming near. Returned from a safe self-chosen prison to a storm that ripped my heart out and took it far from here. Pain and misery left its marks on me start again from here Cold reality needs to be set free chances now at hand Life's a raw caress, it's a raw caress, it's a raw caress to me. And now, as I gather up my back bone to rebuild it even stronger, the clouds break up again. It seems, even if fortune is tragic, that a sad tale finds an ending that's reconciled again. Pain and misery... Reach out - the old eternal timewaves are flowing on and on. Look up - the dawn is soon awaking, there's land in sight again Raw caress

Again they buried an old miner The poisoned stocks of stone in sight The wind was sick from dust They all knew that it would settle overnight And they all went to work into the mines the next day Like they'd done more than forty years now They had destroyed their land for the atomic curse 'Cause they hoped it would help them somehow Those who worked for a better life Don't know to survive It is another Another kind of madness Uranium wast is everywhere now Radioactive gas escapes Contaminated land and water denied responsibility When they're leaving you nothing than a big load of death And you know that a cancer's your end What the industry's after They don't ask where it's from Don't you think that it's a crying shame? Those who worked for a better life Don't know how to survive It is another Another kind of madness
