Album • 2006
This track is instrumental.
The night is about to fall. ‘Never surrender’ - I still hear them call. Images (are) passing by. I must watch him waving a last goodbye. It’s not that he’s gone away. It’s the secure feeling he will not stay. A wanderer leaving the land he once had entered to rise again. Thousands cry until the blood runs low they make the river flow that he’ll sail on. Are we that alone? The king is leaving off to a land unknown. And though I’m wondering why, the king has left the spirit we now call our own. He lit up our life! 1000 days passed by, from the very moment he stepped into our lifes. Words were not his deal. What he brought to us is the power to feel. The power to believe. The power to walk on, the power to see. To determine wrong from right. The power to check out the step from dark to light. Sometimes I’m even more afraid of times beyond the gates of now. Remembering his glory pounds my will onto the ground. Can you hear us cry? Can you see our kingdom die? No! Now for me it’s plain to see that everything I want to be. Can be done by holding on in hard and gruelling times. We are rising high.

For years and years we waited and now the time has come to leave these barren lands towards (new) horizons. No matter what has happened and what was said or done. Words are to be to forgotten. We will roam on! We cross the gates of darkness into the black of night. We don’t fear anybody: (we) got the second sight. We move a little further towards the borderline. Before the dawn of day our souls come back to life. And life comes back again. The mission’s to fight to be free again. To stand our ground and to be immortal. This is our mission so here we stand. We have the right to be ourself again. The mission’s to fight to be free again. They held us down for so long our backs against the wall we didn’t see a future, did not hear the call. But now that things have changed now that our fears are small we create a vision (and we) face it - one for all. We cross the gates of darkness into the black of night. We don’t fear anybody: (we) got the second sight. We move a little further towards the borderline. Before the dawn of day our souls come back to life. And all I see, in front of me. Every step I take is bringing me closer to me! All that we are is everything we’ve ever been. And what we’ll be is what we are.

Sonic signs are waiting For me to show a way I am anticipating To be the perfect deputy But to be honest, I am my father´s son A chosen one While the world is changing I try to keep an open mind Even though it´s plain to see That things remained the same inside (I remain the same inside) (From) now ´til the end of a lifetime Let me be myself Let me be invincible In stories I can tell Until the end of a lifetime Let me be myself I define my heaven Send the doubting ones to hell Everyone has seen it "The only perfet way" Ignoring there are crossings That make the target fade away Now I know what´s going on I bring it back into my heart The blood of youth It didn´t change its color Red to black Now I know how to carry on I bring them voices from within So the blind can see It´s time for me, now to bring them back Denying where I come from Don´t seem to be too true This is why I roam on Take your doubts, they are all for you

Thirst is slowly crawling Through roads of life Awaiting someone who will hear A call for resurrection In heartless times Waiting for someone who will Undo the fear Please surrender my fate Give me more pleasant days There is nothing to focus my eyes on until Rain falls on white scattered grounds Mirroring the light breaking through every cloud Thirst will vanish Healing, feeding, breathing life Rain falls on white scattered grounds Bring us back to life Thoughts of water seen Like distant memories I don´t remember where I´m from Cannot live in this world This is what I know Something inside me is Pushing me on and on

I hear a voice from below Something´s wrong and As soon as these words are Intruding my mind I do know: It is her who´s betrayed By her conciousness Starting to fade And as if I still had Needed to know She´s the only one Fear starts to grow She´s alive What a wonderful Creation bringing time She´s alive And she knows inside She´s alive What a wonderful And joyful singing time She´s alive And I know inside My lifespeed starts slowing down All of my future plans mistrusted And as I´m standing here I start to drown (It´s) not up to me anymore I know I need her more than ever before She´s struggling againts hands of darkness reaching out The more time is fading the less I will doubt A woman like her is built to return As she´s regaining I cry out for her

As I lay to rest And my blood´s slowing down I feel the heart fading And I wipe the sweat from my brows It´s finally done I made my way home Struggling for minutes A million hours or so I ran seven milles and still I have thousands to go Same story again I stand alone And for every question An answer is found Thousands of voices are Screaming new questions out loud But I make a stand I´m not gonna drown Here I stand alone With an innermost freedom Like rivers coming home (Here) I stand alone Finding trust and forgiveness In someone I know And this goes to all my friends I am with you and with me - until the end For every crossing Where two roads diverged I fell one false decision But still you find me on this earth No matter how far I made my way home Is it you who´s diverging? The very next day All the roads seem to vanish You´re still here, so I have to stay Same story again: You stand alone

I feel a heat inside The past begun to thaw My mind describes the picture That I want to draw What I have waited for It seems to be so near And every step closer Is damping the fear All I am lies right in front of me Where did I go wrong That it took so many nights to be Where I belong? Starlight Please enlighten me I feel so immortal Starlight Raised to let me See what was, what is and what will be This one goes out to the preachers of the light That never broke the promise "You´ll get there, if you still care" This one goes out to the darkness of the night Planning my atlantis I did not drown. No, I got there! All I am lies right in front of me Where did I go wrong That it took so many nights to be Where I belong? I am back again Starlight Please enlighten me I feel so immortal Starlight Raised to let me See what was, what is and what will be All I am lies right in front of me I am back where I belong And the truth it lies beyond These gates of dawn
[This song is a cover from Metallica's Master of Puppets] Lashing out the action, returning the reaction Weak are ripped and torn away Hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower Battery is here to stay [Chorus:] Smashing through the boundaries lunacy has found me cannot stop the Battery Pounding out aggression turns into obsession cannot kill the Battery Cannot kill the family Battery is found in me Battery Crushing all deceivers, mashing non-believers never ending potency Hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker Breeding on insanity [Chorus] Circle of Destruction, Hammer comes crushing Powerhouse of energy Whipping up a fury, Dominating flurry We create the Battery [Chorus]
