Deine Lakaien

y day

I don't go out
out in the cold
I don't go out
out in the dark
waiting for dreams
on a winter day
living in a nightmare
day by day

streams of colours
colours in the grey
colour-ize the winter
colour-ize my brain
colours for an image
in an emty lane
living in a nightmare
day by day

pictures start to dance
flicker in my eyes
pictures start to dance
flicker in my eyes
walk along the floor
dance on my head
living in a nightmare
day my day

waiting for dreams
on a winter day
living in a nightmare
day by day
waiting for something
something to come
waiting for nothing
nothing to come
stay
remain
in an empty room
living in a nightmare
day by day

2. Love will not die

Sometimes you feel alone
Sometimes you feel sad
And when you come home
Fall into your bed
You weep all night long
No way to get out
Still I know some words
You should think about

Dont forget
Love will not die

You fought in the street:
Stood up against war
But things became worse
And hope was no more
Then all your companions
Had left you alone
Youll never give up
You always go on
Dont forget
Love will not die

Remember the days
Long time ago
When people were fighting
Against vietnam war
And in these days
Of hate and despair
They put some flowers
Into their hair

Dont forget
Love will not die

3. Made in heaven

Looking, searching, for something to share
You don't know where to guide me
Take away this world called sadness
Some of us will dream it forever
They don't know where to hide it
They just keep on traveling round
But I know I can't keep going
And I don't know what ties me down

Lovers that find you
Just want to guide you
Nobody wants to sell at a loss

Can you resist them
can you forgive them
Taking them to their ideal world

They don't know what's good
They don't know what's bad
But believe me they're not afraid

Now just listen
And forget them
won't you miss them, don't want to fight
Remember me
'Cause it is made in heaven
Try to leave me
try to ignore

4. Days gone by

The days gone by, remembered well
The sound gone by without your kiss
The sound gone by without you...
The nights so long in golden rooms
my heart so strong in strangest mood
my heart so strong in strangest...
The voice from heaven far above
My eyes look up and touch you...

I shall sleep only in my black mantle
When I attain the evening of these days.
I shall sleep only beneath the blackvault
When I attain the evening of these days.

I shall sleep only in my black mantle...

The days gone by, remembered well
The sound gone by without your kiss
The sound gone by without you...

I shall sleep only in my black mantle
When I attain the evening of these days.
Why then evoke the shade?
Why then try to explain?
Why then evoke the shade?
Why then try to explain?

5. Love me to the end

Waiting for the dawn
Waiting for the night
Waiting for the dawn
Waiting for the night

The day's too long
The day's too bright
The day's too long
The day's too bright

Love me,
love me to the end
this man pursues you
a dagger in his hands
this man pursues you
a dagger in his hands

Yet he will never
get into our land
Yet he will never
get into our land

Love me,
love me to the end

Fall down by my side
down in my arms
fall down by my side
down in my arms
this night forever
no morning will come
this night forever
no morning will come

Love me,
love me to the end
Love me,
love me to the end
Love me, love me....

6. Frühlingstraum

I dreamed of a beautiful garden
of flowers and meadows in may
when days passed like the golden sun
and troubles seemed far away

But when I awoke there was no sun
and the wind blew cold and strong
I felt sick and felt alone
I saw flowers painted on stone

Tried to warm up on a winter-day
and closed my eyes again
Yet spring and flowers have faded away
all my searching was in vain

You're laughing about the foolish dreamer
who saw flowers in winter...
I dreamed of the days of love and hope
when I looked into your eyes
when we sat silent side by side
when I saw you smile
Bit when I awoke...

Tried to warm up...

When will I be back in a better land
when will I hold your hand...

7. The night of love

When I heard you calling my name
I was drowned in the blue
Blackbird sang on a tree
I was drowned in the blue...

'Cause tonight we'll turn out all the lights
The night of love...

When I saw your face again
I was burned by snow
Found my trials in vain
...burned by snow...

'Cause tonight we'll turn out all the lights
The night of love

8. The Mirror men

Then he turns out the light
Looks into a mirror
"Show me the world! show me the world!"
A lorry full of dynamite
Led by will to suicide
And murder, and murder, and murder...

Here comes the dawn for the gods
Here comes the dawn for the empire
Here comes the night for the gods
Here comes the night for the empire

Then he turns out the light
Leans back on his seat
On top of the hill on top of the hill
And the soil turns to red
And the rats come climbing
And murder, and murder, and murder...

Here comes the dawn...

Then he turns out the light
Looks into a mirror
"Show me the world! show me the world!"
Look into your eyes
Who are you
See your face vanish
Who are you
And murder, and murder, and murder...

Here comes the dawn...

9. Down down down

Walked through the sand, the sand, soft and white
and felt the sun, the sun, warm and bright
and saw the ocean, ocean blue
and thoughts, thoughts, came
thoughts of you...

Down, down, down
I'm feeling down
Down, down, down
I'm feeling down

And felt the beat, the beat, strong and loud
As I was dancing amidst the crowd
and my surrounding seemed out of view
And thoughts and thoughts came
thoughts of you...

Down, down, down
I'm feeling down
Down, down, down
I'm feeling down

See me, see me, down on my knees
come back, come back, come back please
I saw the world and found no reply
Tell me, tell me, tell me why... ?

Down, down, down...

10. Dark Star

Wandering about in a universe
Back and forth - torn
Strandgoods of the galaxies
Back and forth - torn
Exhausted, starved, yet still a hunter
Hidden, lurking behind some planets
in narrow lanes, in narrow lanes

Dark star you are the light of my night
Dark star won't you be my guide
Dark star why do you run from me
Dark star why don't you kill me

How long ago when I ran into you
Spark discharges - dazzled
Since that moment I've lost my way
Back and forth - dazzled
Exhausted, starved, yet still a hunter
Hidden, lurking behind some planets
"Faster! Faster!"

Moons and planets passing by
Faded through light - blind
Men forged to black mountains
Faded throgh love - blind
Screens may be distorted
Radars may be deaf
Hunting for love, hunting for love

11. Traitors

Should I stay
Go away
Felling right
Evening light
Shines on my head

You are gone
Said never dare
To find

Here tonight on my own
No-one there
You are gone
All alone
Try to find
Without your help
A guiding hand

I still ask myself
Is this love
This hate
I'm feeling
If I was dead
Would you weep
Remember now
Earthly world
Place unsanctified it is
It is
It is

Wail for what I believe
And believe what I know
Me, a coward

Done no harm
Remember now
Earthly world

So let undress
Those memories
Forget the place
Where found the doubts
Wonder why
Guiding light
Me a coward
You liar

I still ask myself
Is this love
This hate
I'm feeling
If I was dead
Would you weep
Remember now
Earthly world
Place unsanctified it is
It is

I still ask myself
Is this love
This hate
I'm feeling
If I was dead
Would you weep
Remember now
Earthly world
Place unsanctified it is

I still ask myself
Is this love
This hate
I'm feeling
If I was dead
Would you weep
Remember now
Place unsanctified it is
Unsanctified it is

12. Reincarnation

There is no peace in heaven
There is no peace on earth
There is no love in heaven
There is no love on earth
There is no faith in heaven
There is no faith on earth
There is no hope in heaven
There is no hope on earth

So you go round and round
Another live another wound
From death to birth, from birth to death
No time to waste, no time to rest
So you go round and round
Another live another wound
And when you finally touch the light
They send you back into the night

There are no friends in heaven
There are no friends on earth
There are no saints in heaven
There are no saints on earth
There are no ghosts in heaven
There are no ghosts on earth
There are no gods in heaven
There are no gods on earth

Reincarnation, the torture will not end
Reincarnation, our bloody fate...
Reincarnation, the torture will not end
Reincarnation, our bloody fate...

So you go round and round...

Reincarnation...

There is no peace in heaven...

So you go round and round...

Reincarnation...

13. Ulysses

I came from far, came from nowhere
Over the sea, came through the air

Give me your love
Give me your love
Give me your love
Give me your love

Desires of freedom smashed to your lips
Taste of lost hearts on drowning ships

Give me your love...
Give me your dreams..

So tie me up to the mast
and longing for, and drifting past

Give me your love...

As time stands still, ships run aground
forever the spirit, forever the sound

Give me your love...
