Again I see you standing there watching me Your gaze, those eyes are tantalizing openly Inviting me to get close to you Can't help myself There's fascination in the air I try to fight this strong sensation, but there's no chance to escape from this temptation Feels like I've known you before Repeating phrases But I yearn for something more I know I can't stay by your side forever But I know I won't forget your beauty My black diamond (x3) Black diamond

I hear the footsteps closing in I recognize them from my early days The times are different, the image remains the same Repeating backflashes remembering the name Approaching visions of things I can't recall A familiar smile awakes the pain Unkept promises The night awaits The act of confidence The kiss of Judas I feel the lips on my cheek The kiss of Judas Haunts me once again In your private chamber you're all alone The well earned silver pieces falling to the Floor The flame of the candle casting movement to the wall Your eyes filled with guilt keep staring at the door Approaching visions of things I can't recall A familiar smile awakes the pain Unkept promises The night awaits The act of confidence The kiss of Judas I feel the lips on my cheek The kiss of Judas Haunts me once again (x3)

They try to give me answers to questions I've never asked I'll have no part in their conspiracy I guess I am the kind of guy that will never stray The thing I need is privacy Some guiding, depriving Misleading and combining They're watching our every move They can try to bind our arms, but they can't chain our minds or hearts We will keep our faith inside our souls and never let it go We are forever free Forever free You see them making headlines New pictures tell old stories Explaining what they have said and done Media's new illusion Creating more confusion But I know that they'll soon be gone Some guiding, depriving Misleading and combining They're watching our every move They can try to bind our arms, but they can't chain our minds or hearts We will keep our faith inside our souls and never let it go We are forever free Forever free (x3) Forever free Forever free Forever free We are forever free

Before the summer turns to winter Before the dreams will turn to snow I see the yellow leaves are falling And soon I know I have to go But I'll be back before the summer Next year you're in my arms again The winter breeze will send my message It will keep you warm until then The path to home is long and winding I'll keep the flame alive for you until I am back You and I will walk that road together I'll show that all the dreams are true if you only let them be before the winter Before the summer turns to winter Before the dreams will turn to snow I see the yellow leaves are falling And soon I know I have to go The path to home is long and winding I'll keep the flame alive for you until I am back You and I will walk that road together I'll show that all the dreams are true if you only let them be before the winter (x2)

Far in the core of the earth First it was given birth We heard the call, the message was so clear The tracks were laid for the future to come Sons and daughters of the Rising Sun The armies in Europe here we come We run like the wind, we play from the heart Now we are here together we sing Faster than light, higher than the sky Tonight we're together again Never give up and never give in Stronger than steel, we're the legions of the Twilight We survived the hard times Never accepted the lies You run like the wind you sing from the heart Now that we're here together we'll sing Faster than light, higher than the sky Tonight we're together again Never give up and never give in Stronger than steel, we're the legions of the Twilight When we have to go back home again, we'll keep the memories we gained inside our hearts Faster than light, higher than the sky Tonight we're together again Never give up and never give in Stronger than steel, we're the legions of the Twilight Raise your hands for us!

I feel like I'm drowning Trying to catch my breath Don't know what is happening There's no sense of time Deep underneath my skin Feeling the pain within Hear my cry I feel drawn towards you Can't resist I don't know why My life is changing I cannot recall Where I've been before The abyss of your eyes Meaning so much more Am I losing my mind? The sun isn't shining, but your eyes light my way I've found what I've been searching for My love won't go astray Deep underneath my skin Feeling the pain within Hear my cry I feel drawn towards you Can't resist I don't know why My life is changing I cannot recall Where I've been before The abyss of your eyes Meaning so much more Am I lost? So many years my drifting heart has wandered around Don't turn on me Won't you stay by my side? Where I've been before The abyss of your eyes Meaning so much more Am I losing my mind? (x3)

Late at night I find myself again Wondering and watching TV I can't believe what is on the screen Something that I wouldn't care to see Many rare species will perish soon and we will be short on food Why do we have to be so selfish? We've got to change our attitude I know that I am not the only one that's worried Why don't we all wake up and realize? Like the birds in the sky, we are flying so high without making any kind of sacrifice We've got so little time to undo this crime, or we'll lose our paradise It seems to me that there's no sense at all Nobody cares, it's always the same Mother Nature's crying out in pain I know we're the ones to blame I know that I am not the only one that's worried Why don't we all wake up and realize? Like the birds in the sky, we are flying so high without making any kind of sacrifice We've got so little time to undo this crime, or we'll lose our paradise (x3) Like the birds in the sky, we are flying so high We've got so little time to undo this crime, or we'll lose our paradise

I wake up in the morning so far away from home Trying to make it through the day Many miles are between us I'm sending my love from this payphone Through the storms we've wandered Many mountains we have climbed But all the bad times are behind The road is free I'm coming home Without you I am like a ship without its sails Calling the wind to save me I'd climb the highest mountain I'd cross the seven seas Just to see your smile again All the trust that was built along the years is coming back to stay, I know Just look ahead The road is free I'm coming home With every step I'm closer to home When I'm back you won't be alone Soon I see the familiar door before my eyes, and you Through the storms we've wandered Many mountains we have climbed All the bad times are behind The road is free I'm coming home I'm coming home Through the storms we've wandered Many mountains we have climbed The road is free And I'm coming home

I have seen the future of mankind The wisdom of my prophecies you'll find Follow the truth and be careful Are we the last? Hundred years has passed what have we done Inconceivable damage under the sun I think it's too late to change the man We are the last The world keeps turning while people yearn for more Mother Nature is crying for change Time will come when we all must pay for what we have done Are you prepared for that? As we are reaching the end of the century, there's messages we can send Be strong and bold and never lose your mind 'cause we are the last The world keeps turning while people yearn for more Mother Nature is crying for change Time will come when we all must pay for what we have done Are you prepared for that? The signs of the end I see Let them hear my voice in every corner of the world Take heed of the warnings that I give I have seen the Southern Cross forming in the sky "There shall be heard in the air the noise of weapons, and in the same year the divines shall be enemies. They shall unjustly put down the holy laws, and by thunder and war, true believers shall die" (Nostradamus: Century IV:43) "For forty years the rainbow shall not appear For forty years it shall be seen every day The parched earth shall wax drier every day and a great flood when it shall appear" (Nostradamus: Century I:17) After us the road goes on forever Many changes lie along the path That's the price we pay for our selfishness We are headed for the end "From the skies shall come the powerful king Before and after the Mars reigns at will Not far from the great age of Millennium Buried ones shall come out of their graves" (Nostradamus: Century X:72,74) When the comet tears out the sky, you and I must die After all this, the time will come for the chosen ones to rise from their graves to be free again The beast is gone forever, there's no more pain Instead so many things for us to attain The sun is shining brightly after the rain The land is green and full of life again The sorrows wiped away now It's time to smile and learn from the past Together we will try "Twenty years of reign of the moon having past Seven thousand years another shall hold his monarchy When the sun shall resume his days past, then is fulfilled and ends my prophecy" (Nostradamus: Century I:48)

Learning by trying it´s hard to deny it while paying for what I used to know Dreams are deceiving untill I´m achieving the goals I haven´t set too low Waiting for a new day to wipe away the Uncertainty that flows around me once again to stay So many choices but so few answers my time slips away while thinking too much Whom to believe in they´re all just repeating the same old lies so nice to clutch Waiting for a new day to wipe away the Uncertainty that flows around me once again to stay
