1. Wings of Darkness
The skies are open
Smell of a danger in the air
We ride the north wind
over the mountains
without a care
Adventures calling
beyond the faraway stars
The battle has been won
falling enemy's ships on fire
Diving through the void
the wings are spread
to take us higher
No place to call home
in underworld or sky
Living on the edge
looking danger into the eye
Flying towards
the stars so bright
Straight into
the heart of the night
Wings of darkness
carrying the spirits of us
Flying towards
the stars so bright
Straight into
the heart of the night
Wings of darkness
carrying the spirits of us
The skies are open
for atomic vikings to roam
And when the quest is ended
Valhalla will then be
our home
No place is safe from us
in underworld or sky
Living on the edge
looking danger into the eye
Flying towards
the stars so bright
Straight into
the heart of the night
Wings of darkness
carrying the spirits of us
Wings of darkness
Wings of darkness
Wings of darkness
Wings of darkness
2. Midwinter Nights
Screams falling out of the sky
blackness encloses me
Strange visions flickering to die
twisted shape of eternity
Freezing wind bites my flesh
rips it off over the bone
Stranded in the night forever
pain makes me scream and groan
I can no longer
break the shields of my loneliness
I'm only waiting
in the everlasting fortress
of midwinter nights
Soul lost in anger and frustration
darkness enters me
Ruins, decay and desolation
are left from my world to be seen
Out in the snow with my ghost
howling in the woods with beasts
Black hearted grief swells in me
gone too far for anyone to reach
I can no longer
break the shields of my loneliness
my name is forgotten
I'm only growing less
Won't you please let me in
I'll do no harm
Oh can't you see I'm in great pain
Won't you please let me in
there'll be no harm
My heart just can't bear this chain
of midwinter nights
Screams falling out of the sky
blackness encloses me
Strange visions flickering to die
twisted shape of eternity
I can no longer
break the shields of my loneliness
my name is forgotten
I'm only growing less
Won't you please let me in
I'll do no harm
Oh can't you see I'm in great pain
Won't you please let me in
there'll be no harm
My heart just can't bear this chain
of midwinter nights
Midwinter nights
Won't you please let me in
3. Dancing On the Wire
You are the child of fire
and I'm of ice
And you struggle to be a flier
whereas shadows are my disguise
You reach for the heights
the loneliness of majesty
In the kaleidoscope of lights
you have reached your victory
so bitter so sweet
You're dancing on the wire
you laugh and I weep
You're dancing on the wire
and my sorrow has grown deep
From my love you were delighted
though it was clear
that we sailed on different streams
Like the stars we are devided
and I'll be lost in your dreams
so bitter so sweet
You're dancing on the wire
you hear the highest praise
You're dancing on the wire
and I'm no one in no place
on the wire
You reach for the heights
the loneliness of majesty
In the kaleidoscope of lights
you have reached your victory
so bitter so sweet
You're dancing on the wire
you laugh and I weep
You're dancing on the wire
you fly and I creep
You're dancing on the wire
and I'm falling out of sight
You're dancing, dancing, dancing
'til you fall amidst your flight
like me into the night
4. Love's Not Made For My Kind
There's been a thousand times
thousand times I've wondered
Is it the hand of fate
that pushes me out into the cold
And the ex-friends say
that I've hidden my feelings too deep
Truth is that I've got
nothing to hide anymore
I feel myself weary and old
I've had more than my share of pain
Love's not made for my kind
my heart's turning to stone
Love's not made for my kind
better to leave me alone
I've been on the edges of unknown
I've roamed the spaces wild and free
I've always been on my own
I can't change my ways can't you see
And now the dark is rising
and my back's to the door
I think it's time to give in
my legs won't carry me no more
I've had more than my share of pain
I wonder if I am still sane
Love's not made for my kind
my heart's turning to stone
Love's not made for my kind
better to leave me alone
Love's not made for my kind
Love's not made for my kind
my heart's turning to stone
Love's not made for my kind
Better to leave me alone
Not made for my kind
5. Rose On the Grave
Sound of falling water
in the deserted halls
Red light dims to extinction
as the darkness falls
Circuits blocked underground
senility of mechanical brain
No one to stop the current
of madness
no one to share your pain
Hear that static cracking
through your sleep
Eaten by corrosion
without eyes you weep
Just a rose on the grave
Rose, rose on the grave
You cannot escape
the dark dreams haunting you
You've died for thousand years
hoping this time it would be true
They gave you the power
by the power you were deceived
You fulfilled the order
look what you have received
Radar eyes blinded
by the ancient storm
Now your mind is capable
only to deform
Just a rose on the grave
Rose, rose on the grave
Just a rose on the grave
Rose, rose on the grave
Rose on the grave
Rose on the grave
6. Lady Deceiver
My thirst for you
helps you do me wrong
I'm afraid of you
it makes you strong
Promises of sin
in a wink of an eye
Deceiving me again
I wish you would die
Keep me in chains
when you go around
Still when you came
I crawl before you
on the ground
Lady deceiver
lady deceiver
I don't know
which one I lust for more
You body
or your blood all over me
In your cage
I rage at the door
Opening my mind
for sweet insanity
I want to crush you
under my weight
You've made me mad
by being an ultimate bait
Lady deceiver
lady deceiver
From desire
I can not be relieved
I've forgotten
the God
in which I believed
All the things
you say are just lies
Wish I was able
to claw out your eyes
I want to crush you
under my weight
You've made me mad
by being an ultimate bait
Lady deceiver
lady deceiver
Lady deceiver
clow your black heart out
Lady deceiver
7. No Return
God knows I love you
meaning I love you
as much as I can
How could you trust me
I should've said
I'm not
the right kind of man
Don't wanna tell more lies
don't wanna blind your eyes
We can't go on
our time has gone
Oh can't you see
Oh can't you see
There is no return
oh baby
No return, no return
God knows it hurts me
to see how this betrayal
of mine hurts you
I thought that this time
I wouldn't let you down
but now I do
Don't wanna tell more lies
don't wanna blind your eyes
Now it must be clear
you weren't even near
to my heart
Lies from the start
There's no return
oh baby
No return, no return
You must bury your love deep
Don't let the painful cracks
of broken heart show
But never turn cold
Tomorrow stays there always
so you'll never know
I won't tell more lies
I won't blind your eyes
But someone may
and that's the day
of no return
Oh baby
no return, no return
Oh baby
no return, no return
Oh baby
no return
No return
8. Breathing Fire
All is twisted
All I see is glowing red
Fire is on my tongue
in my eye, it is in my head
Smoke of burning village
fills my mouth
Screams fill my ears
I am young, I am free
I am wild and I am fierce
Breathing fire
the viper's son
Breathing fire
Golden is my hide and my wings
are darker than black
Three feet long are the nails
that grow on my back
Screaming with hatred
eyes blazing insane
Eating corpses
thrusting souls into pain
Breathing fire
the viper's son
Breathing fire
Breathing fire
the viper's son
Breathing fire
All is twisted
all I see is glowing red
Fire is on my tongue
in my eye, it is in my head
Smoke of burning village
fills my mouth
Screams fill my ears
I am young, I am free
I am wild and I am fierce
Breathing fire
the viper's son
Breathing fire
Breathing fire
the viper's son
Breathing fire
The viper's son
The viper's son
The viper's son
9. Do You Wanna Live Forever
Tell me I'm a fool
with my feet off the ground
The way that I see it
it's the other way around
Say that I'm a dreamer
who's walking on air
Might as well be water
Why should I care
There are things
that must be sought
and I found them before you
My soul just can't be bought
Why do you wanna live forever
trying to make things last
If you wanna live forever
break out of your cast
Things that I'm feeling
could be out of this earth
Got to face the new ages
having their birth
You fall for the popular call
got no guts to take the lead
Have a drink and forget it all
Why do you wanna live forever
trying to make things last
If you wanna live forever
break out of your cast
Why do you wanna live forever
the truth might hit you blind
If you wanna live forever
better widen your mind
Why do you wanna live forever
trying to make things last
If you wanna live forever
break out of your cast
Why do you wanna live forever
the spirits were made to last
If you wanna live forever
take a risk and move fast
Do you wanna live forever
Do you wanna live forever
Do you wanna live forever
Do you wanna live forever
10. The Invisible Hand
I've never ceased to wonder
at the strangeness of my days
Cruealty and tenderness
hand in hand
interlocking by mysterious ways
Sometimes I've seen
beyond the scape of our dreams
beyond the gold at the rainbow's end
And I've seen emptiness
starving to be filled
a plain longing for a friend
I've been hanging on here
dreaming of the other side
Sometimes I've been so near
near the invisible hand
We are born to the times
that change so fast
And we can't trust
the way we're feeling
The need for truth
is strong within us all
But so many times
we'll face a hidden meaning
So many have fallen
to insanity
Thinking they could
draw and cross the line
Leaving others behind
and ending up believing
In the exclusive right
for the grand design
I've been hanging on here
dreaming of the other side
Sometimes I've been so near
near the invisible hand
I've seen the light that shines on
flashing through the other side
Fraction of a second, then gone
back to the invisible hand
Where am I going?
Where did I come from?
I've been longing
for your freedom
Please let me fly
Where am I going
Where did I comefrom
I've been longing
for your freedom
Please let me fly
I've been hanging on here
dreaming of the other side
Sometimes I've been so near
near the invisible hand
I've seen the light that shines on
flashing through the other side
Fraction of a second, then gone
back to the invisible hand
Back to the invisible hand
Take me home, take me home
back to the invisible hand
Take me home
back to the invisible hand
Take me home, take me home
back to the invisible hand
11. Live Hard Die Hard
There's a sign there's a star
it rises over the sea
There's a voice that calls in whisper
and it might set you free
The pain has a lesson to teach
and we always get taught
Every joy is forbidden fruit
and we always get caught
Live hard, you can make it
Die hard, set yourself free
Live hard, you can make it
Die hard
Your soul is a miracle
it glows brightly to my eyes
But you won't raise your stare
to the light beyond the skies
Don't you wanna learn
don't you wanna burn
Don't you wanna find out
we still have time enough
to know what it's all about
Live hard, you can make it
Die hard, set yourself free
Live hard, you can make it
Die hard
The days go by
melting to a grey line
In the dead of the night
there's a short relief
You gotta wake up
I've given you the sign
I've shown you the way
just take my hand
Live hard, you can make it
Die hard, set yourself free
Live hard, you can make it
Die hard
Live hard, you can make it
die hard
Live hard, you know you can make it
die hard
Live hard
die hard
Live hard
die hard
Live hard
die hard
Live hard
die hard
12. In My Blood
The touch of your body
still lingers on my hands
I can feel them burning
Like acid
poured down on me
the rain steams off my skin
Imaginary visions
like broken mirrors
the shards are in my brain
I know you'll be waiting
rolling on the sweaty sheets
waiting for me again and again
The wet dirt grinds
between the concrete and my feet
the voice of my passion gets higher
Drowning my senses
my blood starts to roar
for the need to embrace your fire
I race through the alleys
and the realms of shame
carrying the blazing aura
of aggression
I used to be free
now I can't think straight
you're a blinding obsession
In my blood, poison of love
veins filled with fire and ice
In my blood, dirty love
I remember the sunlight
I hate it now
For making my face
look so pale
There's no more reason
behind my actions
I'm a wolf
on the same old trail
In my blood, poison of love
veins filled with fire and ice
In my blood, dirty love
Eyes turn blind
she whips my mind
Enslaved to her need
she takes my body
and she feeds
In my blood
In my blood
In my blood, poison of love
veins filled with fire and ice
In my blood, dirty love
In my blood, poison of love
veins filled with fire and ice
In my blood, dirty love
In my blood
In my blood, poison of love
veins filled with fire and ice
In my blood, dirty love
13. Guardian Angel
Angel watch over me
walking alone, to the fall of night
Guardian angel, help me to see
Angel be my guiding light
I know the meaning of shame
it makes you feel so broken and torn
I've seen it too many times
I know the face of scorn
I've been on search for truth
but it's never been easy to find
And it's always been so hard for me
to have an open mind
Sometimes you want to give away
the blood of your heart
Loss or gain. How to be sure
you don't sacrifice
yourself in vain
Guardian angel watch over me
Pride leaves you walking alone
to the fall of the night
Guardian angel, help me to see
Angel be my guiding light
Is there a place I must find
a vision to make me understand
There must be a way to keep
my dreams from downing into sand
Facing the walls of my inner defense
do I believe, do I break or bend
The secrets I've held from myself
are only means to and end
Should I open all the old wounds
risk the peace of my mind
There's nothing else to be learned
except the truth, love must be blind
Angel
Sometimes you want to give away
the blood of your heart
Loss or gain. How to be sure
you don't sacrifice
yourself in vain
Angel, Angel
Guardian angel, watch over me
Pride leaves you walking alone
to the fall of the night
Guardian angel
help me to see
Angel be my guide light
Angel, watch over me
watch over me
Angel
I walk to you alone
into the fall of the night
Guardian angel
what's left for me to hold
the shelter from the cold
Angel
Everything I've wanted
all things that I've had
Guardian angel
How can I make
them turn out right
I will ask to understand
Angel
I need a shield
14. Generation Clash (Accept cover)
(Accept cover)
Warnings around me
Coming on strong
Hear the desire
That young dudes are fools
But systems will berak down
The way they all do
A general burden
When ever we're through
Powers are freezing
The way that they are
They're fornicating
With each others minds
Typical outcome in whatever we do
We stand on our own rebellion the groove
Generation Clash
Generation Clash - we got the guts to go
They're blaming our music
Say we're wasting time
The fever's been itching
While we stand in line
'cause you're always bitching
You can't hold back the time
Searching for treasure or something to hold
We'll find our pleasure in the cast you mold
Generation Clash
Generation Clash - and so the story goes
Generation Clash - ain't gonna wipe my nose
Generation Clash - ain't got the time to know
Hey Mom (Generation)
Have you always followed the golden rule (Clash)
'cause this just happens to be my first love (Generation)
And that being (Clash)
A must - a must (Generation)
That being playin' my guitar (Clash)
We try to follow your golden rule
Don't seem to matter we ain't from your school
We tries to reason tried to turn it inside out
Without no compromising my guitar will scream out loud - oh
Generation Clash
Generation Clash - that's how the story goes
Generation Clash - and only time will show
Generation Clash - You gotta gotta let me go
Generation Clash
Generation Clash
Generation Clash
Generation Clash
15. Locomotive Breath (Acoustic, Jethro Tull cover)
(Jethro Tull cover)
In the shuffling madess
of the locomotive breath,
runs the all-time loser,
headlong to his death.
He feels the piston scraping --
steam breaking on his brow --
old Charlie stole the handle and
the train won't stop going --
no way to slow down.
He sees his children jumping off
at the stations -- one by one.
His woman and his best friend --
in bed and having fun.
He's crawling down the corridor
on his hands and knees --
old Charlie stole the handle and
the train won't stop going --
no way to slow down.
He hears the silence howling --
catches angels as they fall.
And the all-time winner
has got him by the balls.
He picks up Gideons Bible --
open at page one --
old Charlie stole the handle and
the train won't stop going --
no way to slow down.
