King for a Day
Define yourself by telling lies You sell your soul for every short attention You steal your way into my trust Dressed as seduction you are curious and cruel Like acid words bleed from your mouth I can see your true face now I have left blindness behind me It reveals who you really are You’ve sown wind for so long... Now you reap storm You reap storm now Now you reap storm You reap storm now Hiding the truth behind your words But your snake-tongue leads me easily astray One mouth speaks the truth, the other lies To trust in you has always been a bad advice

The earth is crying out for mercy Seems no one’s gonna hear her scream We all walk straight in wrong directions Are we much too blind to understand? This is the only ground for living No other planet we can go to (or is there anyone you know?) Realize nobody can eat money Why did it take so long to understand? Wake up! You fool! Look all the things we’re gonna fade out to be free Oh! Wasted chances These visions I see scare me more than you will ever know If there are no more eagles gonna ride the open sky And no more whales that cross the seven seas Realize somehow we’ve reached the end of the line We are caught in a world that slowly dies, that slowly dies Extinction gets a new dimension Why doesn’t anyone believe? Subdue the earth and all that’s living Something we must have misunderstood We call ourselves „pride of creation“ Pride always comes before the fall (you want the most and lose it all) I got a truth that might surprise you No one cares when we all disappear

Life struck me, pulled the trigger There’s nothing left to lose Let me know if there’s something worth living for Back from where I was started I’ve been here far too long How many ears I walked this path alone You came along and saved me You caught me when I fell You broke my shell and all these chains that held me Release my tortured heart The loneliness is tearing me apart Give me the reasons for a fairytale gone bad Thought that I knew it all But then the world became my master There is no way out when you are falling down Oh! Come on and kiss away my pain Erase my memories Look at the fragments of my life Illusions never change Change into something that is real I beg for you to come ‘Cause you will always be my savior You’ll always be my last resort Back on my feet I’m standing But I can hardly walk Oh! Let your hands embrace my broken heart You’ve turned the night into day Changed darkness into light Give me the strength to fight these daily races

Some days will fade to gray Good times seem far away Who knows what future holds ‘Cause life knows all the dirty tricks Each time you find yourself Lying flat on your face That’s life, you can’t deny Pick yourself up get back into race From the cradle to the grave This is the only life I’ll live I just can’t complain The joy of life is worth the pain Fate gives the stick on me Life left some scars you’ll see! I won’t get off the track I haven’t come this far to quit right now Been loosing many fights But I won’t lose my faith Will give it one more try I grab my chance, I still believe I go all the way to my dreams Destiny guides me along dusty roads ‘Cause I choose to be free to be me This is my time and my life and I do it my way I’ve learnt from my mistakes I’m standing up again Pick up my broken dreams The paths we chose decide our fate Believe in what I am Ready to ride for a fall I step up to the plate What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger

So what are you waiting for? Just play your whole hand until it’s through Life’s waiting in front of you Just open up the door and let it in You’ve prayed for better days Common get your head out of your ass It’s like you against the world Defy the storm and you will make the day It’s time to break the spell The world lies at your feet It’s time to leave the cage The world is yours All that you had prayed for Forget all about blood, sweat and tears Just keep your head held high You’ll become king for one day There’s nothing to be afraid of Don’t care about the things they’ve said and done Just keep your head held high You’ll become king for a day Life’s too short to compromise Straight forward, the time is here and now Don’t care what might have been Stop thinking about the things you cannot change Live your dream don’t dream your life Go on get your chance don’t hesitate Forge your own destiny Every moment counts 'cause there’s no second chance

As light as a feather Thoughts are drifting away To places no one dares to dream In the darkness of my mind I am lost without a trace Caught by the moment I can hardly breathe Feels like forever and a day I’ve been walking on this path I have done this all before All that seemed so important It’s mere mirror and smoke I’m filled with voice but never speak I’m all at once I’m strong I’m weak And stay forever with the stars Way up high on clouds of gray Where the time creates the day I was born before the sun Where it all began I’m the bliss in everything I’m the feather and the wing Riddle out my dream Draw the veil of oblivion Where I’m hiding myself Will you get the chance to see? To see what no one else can see Figure out what’s really me

How do you do this morning? How does it feel to face the news? Cheating, lies and corruption Look there is real blood on the screen Raise your voice you will be heard Their time is up our time will come Wise men said good things take time Rome wasn’t built within a day So raise your voice Let’s stand up for the things we believe in Don’t just raise a white flag and give up Never said that I had all the answers, But if we change ourselves, we could change... ... Everything I don’t think there is any leader It’s more like the blind leading the blind We don’t need your confessions Or any other lame excuse Always grub first than ethics All your regrets aren’t worth a dime False promises from their lips Just empty words for desperate ears

Gray the clouds are rolling by As I look up to the sky No one knows my secret I think that no one ever will Fate is calling for me I’ve been waiting for so long Close my eyes and breathe in Then I count to ten Beware, ‘cause I’m hunting for you Lights out, I can smell your fear Tear up, you will find no fortress Time is on my side The night is my companion I carry both bowstring and steel The only thing that matters Take the glory steal the prize You look a little anxious Don’t get me wrong Soon you’re gonna find out Who’s the hunted one

I still can remember Drifting among the spheres of time Everything is fading And I am alone I’m torn inside Blinded by the moment Standing before the lord of dreams He knows me and my fears I’ll lay down my head I close my weary eyes In Morpheus dream I can heal my wounds In Morpheus dream I can heal my soul Watching, waiting, hoping Hear you call out my name Taunt me, haunt me, catch me I’m not afraid to sleep Chaos, anger, sadness I’m afraid to wake up Disguising, deception, illusion, It’s the price that I pay A moment of meaning I saw the truth before my eyes I knew all the answers Don’t know what the questions are It suffused my mind I’ve heard a song of my life That whispered in my head A new dawn a new day Embraces the world And time stood still

Hold up a minute look around yourself You’re caught up in a daily rush A little wheel in the machinery Is this really what you are? It’s like a puzzle of a grand design We lose the things that give us life Realize Our memories are fading We try to run, but cannot hide Running around in circles asking who we are Praying for miracles But they are out of sight To know what you want To know what you need That’s all you need to know To live life fully Counting the moments of your wasted time Those days are gone they won’t return If someone tells me that’s the sense of life I will strongly disagree A deeper pocket brings an empty heart There’s more to live than meet the eyes What’s wrong today? When do we lose our way? Tell me do you really think that money buys you anything? Open up your mind You will start to feel again Digging deep into your soul Go for the perfect goal Let the chips fall where they may Open up your eyes If you try you’ll realize Cast your sorrows to the wind Make a brand new start From the pieces torn apart

Life changes so sudden We’ll never quit working on our dream We’ll grab fate by throat Because it shall never drag us down Time works for those who believe One day we’ll pay our dues No! There is nothing on earth that keeps us away From trying Come hell or high water Next time we just try a little more No one’s born a master A single stroke won’t fell an oak Once is not enough Make it or break it Soon we’re gonna find out Get up and stand your ground I swear we’ll never give up Without fight Don’t waste your chances Till the task is done, the quest complete Hard work will pay off And life’s always worth another try Advices Your choices You try to build your dreams Just three things That help you Your mind Your heart Your hands

Why do you run from me? You know you cannot escape from me I’m sorry, but there is no way out Searching, always searching for a way Out of an endless maze With traps and tricks to catch the innocent Realize you brought this down on yourself So you see what you wanted Your sick and twisted lie turned back on you You played your cards so well But we both know you cheat The construct of lies will fall Like a house of cards one blow from caving in So tell me was it worth the price? Can you still look me in the eyes? Tell me, I guess I don’t understand Are you surprised to see me here? The scales fell from my eyes It’s such a shame what you’ve become Oh! I never did believe A single word you say You always try to bend the truth I know Such a hypocrite to me Now you got what you deserve You should pull a card And you pulled out the bottom one You played all your cards I won fair in square Next round’s on you I didn’t care Try as you might But what’s the use of trying? I control the cards I’ll deal them as I wish Your house of cards Built up with lies Collapsed on you It’s far too late You knocked it down You can’t blame me The blame’s on you Why can’t you see?
