Rescue
Wind from south, billowing sails
beneath the rolling sea
the commpass shows my destiny
and finally, I overcame this oddyssey
your trust in me, did rescue me
Alone in heavy weather and shaken
by the raging sea
no storms, no gales could conquer me
on day´s of calmness, lost in fog,
the route impossible to see,
my trust in you, was guiding me
tremendous impact of extremes
there`s no return for us, it seems
the higher forces spun their net
you are the greatest blessing I did ever get
wind from south, billowing sails
beneath the rolling sea
to all what comes, I will agree
And finally, we`re heading for eternity
your trust in me did rescue me

Stranger
You did send him all your light to guide him on his way
he was walking home fourteen nights and was hiding during the day
as a leader of a bunch of ragged and wornout men
but your light gave him strentgh and hope for himself and them
But when he came back home he felt like a stranger, though
he often tried to talk to you, but he didn`t know how
and all what you have grown and your care he couldn`t stand
and what you`ve sown he destroyed with an cold and iron hand
When you felt ill he prayed to god that you would stay
and he felt lost and guilty, when you passed away
his impressions and the things he overcame, he buried deep inside
for him it was clear he would never find forgiveness
and peace of mind
All his life time I could get nothing out of him
but when I refused the service
he was the only one who supportet me
but all his grief and sorrow, he hid inside
and I don`t know if he was at peace whith himself when he died
But in my dreams, you brought it to an end
I see you both walking on a path of starlight hand in hand.
and all what was cold and cruel is suddenly warm and kind
and finally he can find forgiveness and peace of mind

Tigersong
The Tiger went to the East
The Tiger went to the West
Now he returns to the mountain
his worn out body needs to rest
It´s like a king is dying
without having an heir
returning to the origin
earth, water, fire and air
I hope I can follow your path
the ancient say it`s all already done
all you must do is to realize it
and your doubts will melt like ice in the sun
The Tiger went to the East
The Tiger went to the West
Now he returns to the mountain
his worn out body needs to rest
Your chair remains empty now
further on I have to walk alone,
I may never hear you singing
the song of returning home,
Farewell my precious friend
I may never see you again
you said we`re neither born nor will we die
there is no beginning and no end

Train without brakes
It was a wild ride and you think
it will go on and on like this
but there comes an abyss soon
you can`t see it cause
you are drunk with bliss
watch out, you sit in a train without brakes
watch out, you sit in a train without brakes
this train won`t stop
but there comes an abyss soon
you must jump off
the time for it is opportune
you must jump off
thats`s all what you must do
I won`t let you down
I`ll be there, I promise you

Mother
Mother said, take car yourself
If you want you can break on through
to live a merry live, to fame and success,
to do the things I wasn`t able to do
But I didn`t take care of myself
and I didn´t break through
I didn`t try to be successful
I never did know what to do
It all turned out quite different
it was all illusion in the end
I had a lot of fellas
but never a real true friend
Had many casual liaisons
but true love I could never stand
I´ve wasted my life, destroyed all the good
which ever came to me
I tried out many things and drifted around
but what I wanted I could never see
It all turned out quite different
it was all illusion in the end

The endless sea (for Jack)
Last journey now you leave the shore
the sky is blue and deep
in your best suit, on your face a royal glance
waves rocking you to sleep
The dice are shaken, there ́s no way back
One penny is the fee
The dice are shaken now is waiting for you
the endless sea, the endless sea
the endless sea, the endless sea
Onwards and onwards you ́re floating now
all boundaries are left behind
you did not leave us, you just went ahead
it helps to keep that in mind
The dice are shaken, there ́s no way back
One penny is the fee
The dice are shaken now is waiting for you
the endless sea, the endless sea
the endless sea, the endless sea

HeavenHell
A little window, a bucket in the corner
That`s my heaven hell my evil good space
The walls carved with signs from the people before me
Maybe every men has such a place
There is no harm and no satisfaction
And I feel neither trapped nor free
A giant war has burned all my thoughts
And a pitchblack bright light shines on me

Goodbye

Goodbye
Tell me where do we go
It doesn`t make any sense
I feel trapped and
I need a dispense from you
Dont wanna see your face
Cant stand your smile
Your smell makes me sick
I think we both need a break
Thats all
Like a river that`s dry
Like a bird which can`t fly
That`s how we live since years
That`s why I say goodbye
Goodbye!

Black Lodge
I fear to switch of the light my bed is soaked with sweat
More than death I fear to go insane
In every corner I can see the vicious grin of Bob
My mind is playing with me an evil game
Since weeks I find no sleep my fear is like a snake
Which pulls me deeper and deeper inside
Can`t find the reason why
Can`t neither laugh nor cry
Can`t even find a place to hide
Have a coffee in the Black Lodge, Boy!
Black coffee in the Black Lodge, Boy!
When I look in the mirror I can see his face,
That´s the way he was introduced
The most outrageous things he made me do
It`s clear that I no longer rule the roost
Please stay away from me
`Cause he took over my deeds
He came and ate me up from inside
Please, dont ask me why
It doesn´t help to cry
And you won`t find a place to hide
Have a coffee in The Black Lodge, Boy!
Black coffee in the Black Lodge, Boy!
You are logged n The Black Lodge, Boy!

Startime
Soother of my moods
Generator of my finest qualities
With no hesitation I would do for you
Any heroic feats
Even if I had to be convinced
How could I ever regret
Defeater of my sorrows
The most wonderful I´ve ever met
After years of toil a dream came true
After years of toil I was ready for you
You say we come from Startime
You say we all come from there
A place where we can be together
Ever since and forever
Ever since and forever

Dreamsong
All the words I wrote to you
I send them back
All the love I feel for you
I send it back
All the thoughts I share with you
I send them back
I send them back into the water
I send them back into the river
I know the silence of the moon
I know the deepness of the sea
I know the secrets of the stars
A doorless gate does need no key
In our dreams we fly together
In our dreams we`re bound forever

Die Alive!

Die alive!
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth!
I can tell you something
I wanna die alive
I don`t wanna be spuen out, man
I wanna die as this wild beast I am
I wanna die - I wanna die - I wanna die alive!
As a man who walked his own way,
who had the gutts to look inside
so that I can say when I go, man,
I do know who I am
I wanna die as a man who stopped lieing,
As the bad motherfucker I am
Die as one who wasn`nt fooled by others
Who wasn`t part of the dead walking men
I wanna die - I wanna die - I wanna die alive!
