Holy soldiers in the army of the silent unknown warriors For their kingdom they will fight They´re so ready to be faithful , dead and violent Assassins of doom – they will kill with all their might In the rays of the early morning sun Be afraid of the dark In the temple of evil In the heat of the night In the absence of mercy Be the bringer of light In the cradle of fire – there´s a reason to be Another truth-telling liar – say a prayer for me In the temple of evil Another sundown – fallen angels – faded glories Another prophet – another born again saint Another tyrant – in the book of made-up stories Take your virgins and, buddy , this is paint ! In the rays of the early morning sun Be afraid of the dark In the temple of evil In the heat of the night In the absence of mercy Be the bringer of light In the cradle of fire – there´s a reason to be Another truth-telling liar – say a prayer for me In the temple of evil

Innocence raped – ice cold reflections in a tear Childhood of darkness, desperation – endless fear Lies become cages – silent rage is love, my dear Perverted attraction – where do we go from here ? Circle of cruelty – will there ever be an end ? Abuse vs. youth – who will finally understand the truth ? Home is where the pain is And pain is where you live Pain is all you ever knew and all you have to give Home is where the pain is People pretend not to see but they´re lying People pretend not to hear – tell me why Even your mother walks around with her eyes closed Afraid that the neighbours could talk or hear you cries Circle of cruelty – will there ever be an end ? Abuse vs. youth – who will finally understand the truth ? Home is where the pain is And pain is where you live Pain is all you ever knew and all you have to give Home is where the pain is Keep the vanity in the family The enemy always waits for me Home is where the pain is And pain is where you live Pain is all you ever knew and all you have to give Home is where the pain is

Waves of dissection – attraction of death It´s getting bright at the long tunnel´s end War – resurrection – interaction of wrath It might be a little too hard to understand I used to be silent -I used to be strong I used to be cool - now all I am is wrong You used to be burning - I used to be straight You used to be pretty - but now it´s just late No destiny - just fate - reborn to wait ! Holy creator of man, mule and sea Traitor – annihilator - and such Against all you stand for and whatever you want me to be I won´t and I don´t owe you too much I used to be silent -I used to be strong I used to be cool - now all I am is wrong You used to be burning - I used to be straight You used to be pretty - but now it´s just late No destiny - just fate - reborn to wait ! Did you say the exact words when you broke the rules ? If not we´ll be doomed for all times Ghouls of vengeance will get you, you fools Forever on never still rhymes I used to be silen -I used to be strong I used to be cool - now all I am is wrong You used to be burning - I used to be straight You used to be pretty - but now it´s just late No destiny - just fate - reborn to wait !

I once believed in magic - in the beauty of it all In honesty – in love and trust - but slowly came the fall. The winter killed the friendly colors and the air got cold As ice And red got blue – and rusty, too - that´s the roll of the Dice. Well, the first cut is the deepest - that´s what they Always say But in my case each one hurts a little bit - maybe that´s The price I have to pay For all the wrong roads I ´ve chosen - against everyone´s Good advice For all the hearts I´ve broken since I first watched the Roll of the dice. We walk barefoot on the ashes - Stumble through forgotten Lies Slowly aimless fortune crashes - down from bloodred Burning skies. Distant thunder – silence - lightning – I fell asleep With open eyes Sometimes gentle - sometimes frightning - the roll of the Dice I´ve always been a searcher – a seeker for the truth Restless and forsaken - with nothing left to lose. I´ve always been on my way out and most of my life alone. I never knew where I was going - never had a place to call My home. That´s the roll of the dice We walk barefoot on the ashes - Stumble through forgotten Lies Slowly aimless fortune crashes - down from bloodred Burning skies. Distant thunder – silence - lightning – I fell asleep With open eyes Sometimes gentle - sometimes frightning - the roll of the Dice I don´t know where I came from and I don´t know where I´ll End And maybe when it´s over I will finally understand All the words I´ve ever spoken – all the selfish stupid Cries All the reasons lost in the flood and the roll of the dice That´s the roll of the dice I once believed in magic - in the beauty of it all In honesty – in love and trust - but slowly came the fall. The winter killed the friendly colors and the air got cold As ice And red got blue – and rusty, too - that´s the roll of the Dice.

Cassandra was a groupie – a die-hard rock´n roll fan. The word “fan” comes from “fanatic” – the word “candle” Comes from “can”. She used to wait outside at the backstage door for the Objects of her desire. With every bus that came and left again her boops got Pushed up higher. When the circus is coming to town And the merry-go-round is turning `round and `round High hopes are slowly going down When the circus is coming to town Kasimir was a drumtech who truely fell in love with her. He dreamed of calling her “honey” or something like that But she just called him “Sir” `Cause she only had eyes for the rich and the famous – the Skinny guitarslingin´ guys Okay, sometimes she´d take the drummer, too - but the Keyboardplayer she´d always deny When the circus is coming to town And the merry-go-round is turning `round and `round High hopes are slowly going down When the circus is coming to town So Kasimir watched her from the distance while he was Setting up the drums for the show. She did it with Tom the busdriver to get a pass – behind Some roadcases the wild winds did blow. And after the show Kasimir started tearin´ down while she Was with the band in the bus. Now he´s somwhere out there on the road again and she´s Waiting at the stagedoor for us…. When the circus is coming to town And the merry-go-round is turning `round and `round High hopes are slowly going down When the circus is coming to town

Desert tales and sidewalk stories – pearlwhite skulls of Broken dreams Beyond the path of consequences life ain´t always what it Seems The truth is like a tumbleweed - past the point of no Return We become what we once chose to be while the bridges Behind us burn “Countdown” : 3 2 1 0 All the endless miles of bad road – all the pleasure - all The pain All the words we yell in anger - all the tears we cry in Vain All the questions never answered – all the lonely hours, Too All the reasons for whatever and the evil that men do – Sierra Madre All the million times I was way too wrong to admit that Someone else was right All the hours my own worst enemy was my selfish foolish Pride So adios, my dear compadres, it´s so hard to say goodbye But I´m damned to be a searcher - until the day I die “Countdown” : 3 2 1 0 All the endless miles of bad road – all the pleasure - all The pain All the words we yell in anger - all the tears we cry in Vain All the questions never answered – all the lonely hours, Too All the reasons for whatever and the evil that men do – Sierra Madre

Warpaint – warpaint … All contracts broken – your promises, too Our heroes, they all died in vain Words unspoken – you tought us to drink to kill the Emptiness and pain But we – are leaving together Like little white mice We sure do look nice But we ain´t `Cause this is : warpaint Mighty tribes once free and proud - now living in chains The time has come to to get angy and loud What you hear´s our drums calling the rains And we – are leaving together Like little white mice We sure do look nice But we ain´t `Cause this is : warpaint

On the wings of tomorrow We´re riding side by side We beg, steal and borrow With nowhere left to hide Sing one for you and me and how brave we used to be Well,no money but the pain will remain Like black and leather We still belong together Like black and leather We´ll never quit the fight Like black and leather We´re holdin´ on forever We´re running free – ourselves to be We´re coming home tonight A black moon is rising We´re back home from the past We tried to do the right thing But time travelles fast Sing one for you and me and how brave we used to be Well,no money but the pain will remain Like black and leather We still belong together Like black and leather We´ll never quit the fight Like black and leather We´re holdin´ on forever We´re running free – ourselves to be We´re coming home tonight

Way beyond the deadline - time keeps marchin´ on No chance to rest – nowhere to sleep - I´m here but Already gone Way beyond the deadline it´s silent wet and dark And when you hear the timebomb tickin´ - remember the Evil´s mark Way beyond the deadline All you see is a flashning sign Deadline Way beyond the deadline – every move you make Feels like “home is where the heart is” – but how many Heart attacks can you take Way beyond the deadline – maybe you should hold your Breath But when your fantasy kills reality it´s your creativity´s Silent death Way beyond the deadline All you see is a flashning sign Deadline Seconds – minutes – hour – days Fearless nights and wicked ways The lawyer´s screaming : “mine all mine ! `Cause you know where you are, man ? You´re out, buddy ! You´re lost way beyond – the almighty – deadline !” Way beyond the deadline All you see is a flashning sign Deadline Tic Toc Tic Toc - There´s a timebomb tickin´in my Blackened heart When you got left behind you gotta get back to the start Deadline……

Come take my hand - I´ll be by your side Guide you through the darkness `till you reach the light Let me give you hope when the ghosts arrive - we all need Something to hold on to in this life Remember who you´d planned to be What you dreamed of, too and all you wanted to see Don´t let those memories cut you like a knife We all need something to hold on to in this life We all need something to hold on to in his life We all need something to hold on to in this life A reason to walk on When your cause is dead and gone We all need something to hold on to in this life Now this big ol´ world spins round and round Like a tumbleweed We´re getting lost and found So dry your tears and press “overdrive” `Cause we all need something to hold on to in this life We all need something to hold on to in his life We all need something to hold on to in this life A reason to walk on When your cause is dead and gone We all need something to hold on to in this life
