LIGHT THE UNIVERSE

[Music: A. Deris / Lyrics: A. Deris ]

In a house up the hill
Lays a boy, he's sleeping still
And the time's creeping by
'Till the world prepares to die
Then again out of dust
Will arise what ended last
And the boy will awake
Give his dream a little brake

And the story has gone on and on and on and on
As the old has died the new arises
And a child will

Light the Universe
Light the Universe
We got blind, we can't read the signs
Light the Universe
Light the Universe
We don't find what's hidden in
our mind

Under sand in sea
Covered with eternity
Beats a heart with no fame
Quietly whispering my name
When my time has run out
I will hear it very loud
Telling tales I once knew
But forgot by losing you

And the story has gone on and on and on and on
As the old has died the new arises
And a cild will

Light the Universe
Light the Universe
We got blind, we can't read the signs
Light the Universe
Light the Universe
We don't find what's hidden in our mind

Light the Universe
Light the Universe
We got blind, we can't read the signs
Light the Universe
Light the Universe
We don't find what's hidden in our mind

In a house up the hill
Lays a boy, he's sleeping still
And the time's creeping by
'Till the world prepares to die...​

LISTEN TO THE FLIES

Why do you run, answer me
Who do you follow, talk to me
What is the hidden, that I cannot see
What is the prize, you try to hide from me

I see you dying and I listen
(Listen)
And I listen
(Listen)
Listen to the flies
Listen to the flies

Who is the idol you obey
Give me a reason, you're afraid of me
You'd never been punished or never had pride
I see you circle round and round the site

I see you dying
I see you dying

And I listen to the flies
And I listen to the flies
And I listen to the flies
And I listen to the flies

Why do you run, answer me
Who do you follow, talk to me
What is the hidden, that I cannot see
What is the prize, you try to hide from me

I see you dying
I see you dying

And I listen to the flies
And I listen to the flies

And I listen to the flies
And I listen to the flies
And I listen to the flies​

LIVE NOW!

There's somebody made for me
Someone I still don't see
One I will find tonight
Everything will be alright

Live now!
Live now!
Say it loud
Live now!
Say it loud
Live now!

Don't say you're too scared up high
Life needs no wings to fly
Come out into the light
We can reach the height tonight

Live now!
Live now!
Say it loud
Live now!
Say it loud
Live now!

Live!
Ohhhh, live!
Ohhhh, live!
Ohhhh, live!
Ohhhh

Get up and start to see now
Give it a try and learn how
To leave behind the wasteland
Have no fear, I'm taking your hand

Live now!
Live now!
Say it loud
Live now!
Say it loud
Live now!

Live now!
Live now!
Live now!​

LIVIN' AIN'T NO CRIME (BONUS TRACK) [SINGLE B-SIDE]

Come hither to this place and let your mind fly free
For that's the only way how everyone should be
We all need something that we can keep on living for
No one needs to tell us what we're doing anymore

Head on, head on steady until the end of time
Living, living ready, for livin' ain't no crime

So tell me, aren't we all just one holding the flame
Against all babbits in this world who build up frames
Some time or tomorrow we will prove them traitors wrong
So make your dreams come true for it mustn't take too long

Head on, head on steady until the end of time
Living, living ready, for livin' ain't no crime, true

Now what's the use of living here and what's it worth
Don't ask but throw away your fear, enjoy this earth
You are here to live don't think you're here to understand
Don't forget you're no one without someone's helping hand

So head on, head on steady until the end of time
Living, living ready, for livin' ain't no crime

Head on, head on steady until the end of time

LOCOMOTIVE BREATH

In the shuffling madness
Of the locomotive breath
Runs the all time loser
Headlong to his death
And he feels the piston scrapin'
Steam breakin' on his brow

Old Charlie stole the handle
And the train, it won't stop goin'
No way to slow down, oh

He sees his children jumpin' off
At stations one by one
His woman and his best friend
In bed and havin' fun
And he's crawlin' down the corridor
On his hands and knees

Old Charlie stole that handle
And the train, it won't stop goin'
No way to slow down, oh
No way to slow down

He hears the silence howlin'
When he catches angels as they fall
And the all time winner
Has got him by the balls
And he picks up Gideon's Bible
And it's open at page one

I think God, he stole the handle
And the train, it won't stop goin'
No way to slow down, oh
No way to slow down, oh
No way to slow down, oh

No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down

No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down​

LONG LIVE HE KING

I wait in the cold
It should have been summer
It will start to rain
It's just not fair
But we are insane
We wait for the thunder
We wait for the pain
With open hair
Now the stage is on fire
Now explodes the air

Ohohohohohohoh
Ohohohohohohoh

Long live the king
Long live the king

We shout every line
We bang to the metal
Some call out his name
He makes the sign
Now the stage is on fire
Now explodes the air

Ohohohohohohoh
Ohohohohohohoh

Long live the king
Long live the king

You got to feel the spirit
Got to hear the Les Paul
You got to feel the action
Got to ride the death wall

Giving in it
Giving in it
Giving in it all
Giving in it
Giving in it
Giving in it all

The curtain is down
We scream like one choir
Emotions go wild
I shake my hair
Now the stage is on fire
Now explodes the air

Ohohohohohohoh
Ohohohohohohoh

Long live the king
Long live the king​

LONGING

(Michael Kiske)
Feelings come and go ? I?ve never known
Something longs to grow ? won?t let go
Spirits Rround my head ? are whispering
I turn inside instead ? of wondering
Deep inside of me ? I know there?s got to be
A different kind of truth ? that sets the spirit free
If I don?t wanna know ? What?s written inside me
How could I see anything ? How could I be anything ?
Restless minds have searched ? long before
The truth will be the same ? for evermore
The mightiness of trees ? that you can feel
Can give you all you need ? just listen still
Here is love and there is pain, it?s all around, it?s all the same
There?s nothing new that I could tell to you
But still there is the universe inside of us that never bursts
We might not know the meaning yeat, but I am sure we can?t reject
The truth that is in everything ? that is and has been and will be
There is a long way to go ? there is a high place to know
There is a world to go through ? but there?s so much more to do
Until we?re home !
Deep inside of me ? I know there?s ..​

MADNESS OF THE CROWDS

(Deris)

Sightless the one who relys on promise
Blind he who follows the path of vows
Deaf he who tolerates words of deception
But they who fathom the truth bellow

Shout! Shout!
The madness of the crowds!
Hail insane
The madness of the game
Shout! Shout!
The madness of the crowds!
All hail insane

Guilty the one with his silence knowledge
Exploiting innocence for himself
Dangerous he whom our faith was given
Broad is the road leading straight to hell

Shout! Shout!
The madness of the crowds
Hail insane
The madness of the game
Shout! Shout!
The madness of the crowds
All hail insane

Dangerous he whom our faith was given
Broad is the road leading straight to hell

Shout! Shout!
The madness of the crowds
Hail insane
The madness of the game
Shout! Shout!
The madness of the crowds
All hail insane​

MAKE FIRE CATCH THE FLY

(Never again)
Never again
I told myself
I'll play with fire
(Never again)
Never again
I'll come too close
To this desire

My melted wings have just healed
When my faceted eyes are bound in fascination
Never say never say
Never again
Never again

Alright
It's my last flight
Must go on and on
Until I die
Tonight
Into the light
Must go on and on
One last sigh
Make fire catch the fly

(Never again)
Never again
But just tonight
I heed the calling
(This could be the end)
This could be the end
I won't regret then when I'm falling

My melted wings have just healed
When my faceted eyes are bound in fascination
Never say never say
Never again
Never again

Alright
It's my last flight
Must go on and on
Till I die
Tonight
Into the light
Must go on and on
One last sigh
Make fire catch the fly

Fire fire fire...

Alright
It's my last flight
Must go on and on
Till I die
Tonight
Into the light
Must go on and on
One last sigh
Make fire catch the fly

Make fire catch the fly...​

MARCH OF TIME

Hours of lust, hours of tears passing by before my eyes
Today, tomorrow, yesterday... one life
Days of joy, day of sadness come and go to pass me by
A month, a year, one hundred years, they fly

Ohh, one day I will be gone to lead another life
Ohh, and this world will stop to turn around with me
'Cause

Time... marches
Time... marches
On without us all, never stops, yes
Time... marches
Time... marches
On and on and on, flies eternally

Times of peace, times of fights, constant movement is our life
Can't stop no more, not until... we die
We long for more... eternity, and maybe there's another life
This one is short, no matter how you try

Ohh, but never give up all the hope to lead a good life
No, don't waste your given time to make things worse

Time... marches
Time... marches
On without us all, never stops, yes
Time... marches
Time... marches
On and on and on, flies eternally

(Solo: Kai/Michael/Both)

Plese, please help me see, the best way to be
Make a change and we, live eternally
No more wasted years, no more wasted tears
Life's too short to cry, long enough to try

Time... marches
Time... marches
On without us all, never stops, yes
Time... marches
Time... marches
On and on and on, flies eternally​
