"Bloodstone"
(originally by Judas Priest)



I've been trying
There's no denying
It's sending me
Out of my mind

I've seen reason
Change to treason
It's losing it's sense
Of all kind

How much longer will it take
For the world to see
We should learn to live
And simply let it be
Bloodstone, bloodstone

In the night time
Wake in fright
I'm so scared of the game
That's being played

Start to wonder
What's going under
And how many deals
Have been made

How much longer will it take
For the world to see
We should learn to live
And simply let it be
Bloodstone, bloodstone

Bloodstone
I can't take it
You got me living
On a bloodstone
I don't want that bloodstone

"Break The Ice"

"Break The Ice"


Why do you stare at me?
It's hard to please when you're
feeling ill at ease
Hey let it go
You have feelings inside let them show

Grim craven mind
Timid all the time
Can't come out of your shell
It's hell

Shame on you
There are so many things that you could do
Hey can't you see?
Love is a stream that endlessly flows in me

Grim craven mind
Timid all the time
Can't come out of your shell
It's hell

It's time to break the ice

"Castaway"

"Castaway"


I've been lost far too long,
Need to find my way back home.
Dig a hole and hide inside,
Live to see the morning break.

Just a wayward soul,
Played the last card, lost it all.
All is gone but one remains,
In your hands I place my life.

Take me in,
Wash away the sin.
Make me whole again,
In your sanctuary.
Hideaway,
I'm your castaway.
Let me fall asleep,
Wake up to brighter day.

Take me in,
Wash away the sin.
Make me whole again,
In your sanctuary.
Hideaway,
I'm your castaway.
Let me fall asleep,
Wake up to brighter day.

Take me in,
Wash away...
Make me whole again,
In your sanctuary.
Hideaway,
I'm your castaway.
Let me fall asleep,
Wake up to brighter day.

"Castles In The Air"

"Castles In The Air"


When the day turned into night
When the stars run out of light
Will you be there to sing my song
I call your name
To maybe shield the flame
Cause the night is dark and long

In the kingdom of the visible
In the kingdom of the sun
Was a man who saw the years go by
He was always on the run

And the clock ticks fast for everyone
Father time wins every race
And the kingdom of the fading sun
It’ll pass without a trace

Our castles in the air
We build them in despair
But maybe there is no one to answer your prayer
Our castles in the air
We build them in despair
But you can help me smile on this road to nowhere

There’s a small black hole inside my heart
And it’s just the size of you
And the road goes on forevermore
And we will turn to dust

Holding on to hope against the hope
While the silence rages on
We would like to try to shield the flame
While we climb a burning rope

Our castles in the air
We build them in despair
But maybe there is no one to answer your prayer
Our castles in the air
We build them in despair
But you can help me smile on this road to nowhere

When the day turned into night
When the stars run out of light
Will you be there to sing my song
I call your name
To maybe shield the flame
Cause the night is dark and long

"Celestial Dream"

"Celestial Dream"


Here in the Universe I find some things that are so hard to understand
The vastness of space just takes my breath away I see through history
The years they come and go
The seconds that will shape my destiny
The time that we spend here Is precious, that I see so clear
What is our place in here?
What is the meaning of the pain we feel?
Where did all this come from?
The galaxies, the moon the stars, oh I don't know
I really want to know what is the meaning of evolution
They say that we are the crown of all creation
So let's break free from these chains
Of fear, hate and greed
And join together singing our
Celestial Dream Freedom is awaiting
For those who take the path less traveled
And in the end we'll all sing our Celestial Dream

"Chasing Shadows"

"Chasing Shadows"


I have been sailing across the oceans
flying across the blue sky
Without never finding the answer
the answer to the question why
just when you think you reach it, it's gone

Chasing Shadows, Chasing shadows
Chasing Shadows, all your life

Harder you try to fix things in your life
Faster you know it's in vain
Searching for loving from strangest places
Nothing is left but the pain

Chasing Shadows, Chasing shadows
Chasing Shadows, all your life

"Cold Winter Nights"

"Cold Winter Nights"


Summer's gone a while ago
The daylight dims away
I'm watching here how the snow begins to fall
Yesterday's like a dream
A memory in my head
Like the life's gone behind the winter wall

I'm lighting up the candles and lock the door
Sitting by the fire
It's time to dream some more

I have to find a way how to survive
I am surrounded by the starlight
I have to find the path
How to escape from the Cold Winter Nights

And in the morning there's no trace of the sun
Just gray fog hanging above my head
All the birds are quiet hiding in the woods
Can't see no movement are they all dead?

"Coming Home"

"Coming Home"


I wake up in the morning so far away from home,
trying to make it through the day.
Many miles are between us, I'm sending my love from this payphone.
Through the storms we've wandered, many mountains we have climbed
but all the bad times are behind.
The road is free -
I'm coming Home.
Without you I am like a ship without it's sails, calling the wind to save me.
I'd climb the highest mountain,
I'd cross the seven seas just to see your smile again.
All the trust that was built along the years is coming back to stay I know.
Just look ahead the road is free -
I'm coming Home.
With every step I'm closer to home, when I'm back you won't be alone.
Soon I'll see the familiar door before my eyes and you.

"Darkest Hours"

"Darkest Hours"


These frantic memories
They bring me down, tormenting peace
The darkness drowns me
I'm restless without sleep
When day breaks, I'm still awake,
I recall my mistakes

I'll be never alone, never again, never alone,
I'll be never alone, never again, never alone...

When all my hope is gone,
I'm waiting for the dawn
I raise my head and find my own way out of the dark
I've left my past behind
I'm reaching for the light
I'm not afraid to live my life - I'll take what is mine.

I'll make my way through the darkest hours of my days!

Those frozen memories
Laid out for me, all I can see
The night surrounds me
Destroying harmony
What lies beneath, demise in me
I've lost my purity

I'll be never alone, never again, never alone,
I'll be never alone, never again, never alone...

When all my hope is gone,
I'm waiting for the dawn
I raise my head and find my own way out of the dark
I've left my past behind
I'm reaching for the light
I'm not afraid to live my life - I'll take what is mine.

I'll make my way through the darkest hours of my days!

"Darkness"

"Darkness"


Living on the edge of falling down
Like each day would be your last one
Reaching for the stars that shine so far
Take my hand it will be alright
For you and me to go

Look into my eyes they are black as night now
You can see your reflections I tell you no lies
You are the prisoner of your own feelings it's true
There's something inside you but you just won't
let it come out

When the night comes you won't be alone
'Cause I will be there I will be there
When the darkness enters into your room
Don't be afraid 'cause I'll be there
When the darkness enters into your room

They will put you down with their minds of steel
Despise and scorn you just because they cannot feel
Hell is eternity hell is your destiny
I can see it in your eyes that you want to say
But you can't

When the night comes...

Listen to me hear what I say
You're playing so dangerous games
There is no time to waste anymore
Because it is getting so late
Get what you got, give what you can
Leave all the mem'ries behind
They'll be haunting you forever
