First topic message reminder :

Kill The Sun

i am down at the water
my bare feet are numb
and for aeons now nothing seems real

now it's hard to hold sight
through your soft eiderdown
but i still got my hands on the wheel

you have set my mind
between worlds spinning round
i'm a stranger in my universe

but i see my sun
and i know that it will
be forever shining on earth

you can rain down on me
but you can't darken the sun
you can cast a spell on the moon
but you can't kill the sun

So Sweet

One moment of sun
Breathe it and be drown
Having broken lines that have been to straight
We stop walking and look around

Out of control, anchorless
Drifting in space, and it tastes so sweet

Thousand lights explode
And for seconds we sing
Differences have been erased
Everything is nothing

Out of control, anchorless
Drifting in space, and it tastes so sweet
When we run out of sight
When we taste forbidden fruits
So surreal, can't be real
But it tastes to sweet

Not totally consciuos
Or maybe conscious at all
Of a brighter colour than the ordinary grey
This moment in a day

India

On!
Sailing on!
To our fate!
To India...

Above the seas with the wind we are flying high
Our wings are sails and our trail means no second try
Golden and silver the future will be
When we�re at the aim

Forward we sail into the unknown
We have no fear we�re sacred
We�re going to where no one has gone before
Keep on til we have reached the sunset
There will be no withdrawal
We�re heading for the the treasures of India

Stars show the way through the night, we don�t look behind
Water supplies getting low but we�re strong in mind
Power and Glory will come to us all
When we�re at the aim

Once there was a vision to find
A new land behind the horizon
When we chased the sun
A whole new world was born

My dearest wishes they will be fulfilled
When we have reached our destination

Forward we sail into the unknown
We have no fear we�re sacred
We�re going to where no one has gone before
Keep on til we have reached the sunset
There will be no withdrawal
We�re heading for the the treasures of India

Now & Forever

Millions of songs all these years in my soul
And when we met I just knew they�re for you
Now your voice is singing them all
Your wings at mine we will never fall

On and on
We will fly now & forever
Side to side now & forever my love

Thousands of miles through the cold stormy air
There�s really nothing that I wouldn�t dare
I climb the eye of the hurricane
When the winds are whispering your name

On and on
We will fly now & forever
Side to side now & forever my love

In Love With The Darkness

No more tears
I'm out of fears
I'm out of pain
I'm out in the rain

It will gently wash away
The light of the day

I'm in love with the darkness of the night
I'm in love with all that's out of sight
I'm in love with the magic of the new
And the darkness loves me, too

Finally
It covers me
It makes me taste
It's sure embrace

It will gently take away
The sorrows of the day

Come out, come out wherever you are
Don't hide, don't hide near or far
Don't hide

Fight Me

I cannot turn away
From this obscurity
A nameless Force
Is stealing my face

Come and � try to � fight me
You will � never � break me

I know it�s the final breath I�m taking if I let you win
So I cannot be the one forgiving or I�m giving in

Now I can see you
You were just hiding
You won�t betray me
Cause now I know your name

Come and � try to � fight me
You will � never � break me

I know it�s the final breath I�m taking if I let you win
So I cannot be the one forgiving or I�m giving in

Black & Silver

I am amused
You seem to love me
But be reserved
Before you huff me

I'm used to winners
I need the fame
And if you touched me
You'd be my shame

Your childish dreams are all in vain
To me your kind is all the same

A starlit sky
Of black and silver is my core
My last goodbye
Makes you want me even more
For silver is my fame
Black is my name

I am a queen
And if you creep
I'll push my blade
Still-water-deep

I am a dream
A fairy-tale
Your endless quest
Your holy grail

Thanks so much for your confusion
I will be your lost illusion

Deep inside
The silver shines as black as can be
My disguise
The wolf among the sheep, you want me
To me your kind is all the same
To me your kind is all the same

Like A Rose On The Grave Of Love

Come like the dusk
Like a rose on the grave of love
You are my lust
Like a rose on the grave of love

I curse the day I first saw you
Like a rose that is born to bloom
Don't look at me the way you do
Like the roses, they fear the gloom

Your thorns, they kissed my blood

Your beauty heals, your beauty kills
And who would know better than I do?
Pretend you love me!

Indeed, reality seems far
When a rose is in love with you
Slaves of our hearts, that's what we are
We loved and died where roses grew

They watched us silently

A rose is free, a rose is wild
And who would know better than I do?
Roses are not made for love

Widescreen

Cold sweat - there's something on I don't know yet
Thoroughly making my mind mad, I'll jump onto this
Fast train, ruling my life on the fast lane, being a part is a vast strain
I am and I am

Watching it on widescreen all the time
Bringing our lives into one line
Fashion be my guide
Reflections of what they want us to be
Uniformed we are right what we see
A pressure I can't hide

Downfall of visions and dreams, gotta have all,
Like lemmings we rush for the roll call, deprived of all we
Stand for, united we stand as a main bore, just numbers, no names on this dead score
We are and we are

The End Of Every Story

All we�ve been, all we see was born so long ago
In times of joy and of tears, we carried on
The winds were still, did no harm to our shores
But the seed�s already sewn, now the storm will come

Over and over we�re downcast
Only, it�s only a dark past

Do you know we reached somehow the end of every story
Welcome to the final show it�s here in all its glory
You can run but all you flee is a life of sorrow
Time will tell what kind of fate will be waiting for us now

Built on sand by our hands were all of our homes
Turn around, realize this world is not our own
So we have to succumb to the call of fate
Hear it now, it leads us down to future�s open gate

Falling we�re falling with closed eyes
Losing now losing our old disguise

Do you know we reached somehow the end of every story
Welcome to the final show it�s here in all its glory
You can run but all you flee is a life of sorrow
Time will tell what kind of fate will be waiting for us now

Who We Are And Who We Want To Be

One eye is green, one eye is black
Life threw me down, love broke my neck
I've made mistakes, I'm just a girl
Who wants to live her life
And if I was wrong, I tried to be right
I wanted to survive

Who we are
And who we want to be
Is not the same all the time
And what we say
And what we want to say
Is not the same sometimes

No doubt, I'm okay, but okay is out
My heart's to silent, my voice too loud
Why do they hurt me, why do I
Hurt them, why do I care?
I want to start again from beginning
But I don't dare

Who we are
And who we want to be
Is not the same all the time
And what we say
And what we want to say
Is not the same sometimes

Dancer

She walks on the moonlit snow
She�s winterhearted, so you say
But you don�t see

She�s a dancer on the glass
That�s broken like her past
She would never flee

Fascination is her name

She is dancing in the wind
Almost dancing everything
Every moment of her life
She is taking me with her
With the music in her heart
She is breaking every ice

She is talking with the world
A far-traveled bird
Her soul�s her home

See how light are all her moves
Just follows her own rules
But she is not alone

Fascination is her name

She is dancing in the wind
Almost dancing everything
Every moment of her life
She is taking me with her
With the music in her heart
She is breaking every ice
In me

Winterhearted

I was a fool for what I thought was love
And I tried my best to keep up what we had
We had a vision, no, I had a vision
And now I've to see that the vision is dead

One of us is winterhearted
One of us is cold as ice
One of us is breaking hearts
And it's not me

I was romantic, so silly and blind
I told the world that true love had a name
But all that is left now is pity and shame

One of us is winterhearted
One of us is cold as ice
One of us is breaking hearts
And it's not me

Return To India

Sun rays touching my skin like a stream of gold
Beauty, fame and wealth smell nice on top of the world
Made my day, this day made me the blessed one
My achievements will shine bright when all the smoke is gone

All those years and with all my heart reaching out for what would broaden my horizon
Perpetual striving made my life complete and now that I reached new dimensions
I wonder why, I wonder why

There's still something in my head I fail to explain
Falling deep into this void, only silence to remain
Sheer enlightenment of the soul that's what I hoped to find
Reduced to instincts I've to see there will be no peace of mind

Left behind the ghosts I knew so well, stepped into the light, into a new beginning
But can it be I miss their company, need their guidance and advice to define
The inner me

Where's my dream of India?
Dead-end street to India
Been so close and yet so far
No return to India

Expectations once so high now seem down and low
They once sent shivers down my spine, now make me tremble in my bones
Where's the dream that made me be, made me carry on
Gave my longing for an end just to find that nothings won

Means to an end we're dedicated to might set an end to all those means we have to offer
I can't escape from this lifelong dream, I'm a captice of it's shadows, awaken, end to all sleep

Where's my dream of India?
Dead-end street to India
Been so close and yet so far
Give me back my India

[spoken:]
Once we have reached our destiny we understand that it is different from the dearest wishes of the beginning.
It is much deeper, broader, sometimes greater...
Either we understand or we sail on, and on, and on...

Save My Life

Save my life
Save my life
Let these tears be our secret
You and I
You and I
Once we were so close
Save my life

My soul / feels empty
I'm drowning in my tears
It's pain / I'm learning
My heart / is aching
Got poison in my veins
In hell / I'm burning

It's all / or nothing
I'm asking you to give
Let live / or die
Everything / is better
Than this silent lie
Say that / it's no lie!

I need you to save my life

Save my life
Save my life
Let me feel you breathing
In your hands
In your hands
Is the heart of mine
Save my life

Vampire

Dark are the streets, gloom's creeping out of the walls
Dirt comes alive and all the neon-lights call
Demons and fools and a lady of black
She's of the kind nighttime-insomniac

She sees the prey and she's aware
The times are hard but she don't care

She's a vampire
Desire darker than black
She's a vampire
Reach higher, no turning back
Her wings are curtains of the night
She knows no wrong or right

Dead are the places where this goddess has been
Cold is the skin that this creature has seen
Her universe is an ocean of blood
Her dining table the cradle of mud

She sees the prey and she's aware
The times are hard but she don't care

She's a vampire...

The night is blind, the mistress she is calling you
To be by her side forevermore
Follow her until her thirst is sated
An immortal lie, heart blood

Can't help yourself, she's got you paralyzed

So would you kiss the sun goodbye
And give your life to never die?

She's a vampire...

Beware

I dress myself in black
In black from head to heels
I take my promise back
Cause you don't know how it feels

No, you don't take me as I am
No, you don't want to know at all
Who is the face behind the mask
I'll be the one who'll make you fall

Beware! Beware! I'll be the one
The one to take you under
Beware!

I hate the light of day
I'm happy when it rains
The stars shine on my way
But the memory remains

No, you don't take me as I am...

Beware! Beware! I'll be the one...

I am the night's revenge
I've got a soul to sell
And yet a fist to clench
So wait for me in hell

Beware! Beware! I'll be the one...

Wait for me in hell
I'll see you in hell

Emotional Man

Watch my poster on the wall
View my pictures on the magazines you store to have them all
Let me be your guiding light
Be the salt inside the wounds of your most ordinary life

Come closer - what you want is what you see
Desire - but you won't dare talk to me

So pure a lie - a hymn for the emotional man
So clean and shy - get it while you can
And yes, what I am is not what you see
Your interest's somewhere else
Your carnal longings make you all the same

Writing letters, sending mails
Offering me your honest interest in what's inside of me
No sins on your mind, of course
Pretend to intellectualize another wasted girl resource

You tell me - you knew what I need
So sorry - for the hypocrite I feed

So pure a lie...

Just a number in a game - you tell me I had a name
Creation of an industry - and not what you might think to see
Glorify an icon's shrine - whose image of me is not mine
Not to save you from your mess - tell you you may kiss...

So pure a lie...

Salomé

They call for me
Dance Of The Seven Veils
I have no choice
I'm nothing if I fail

Lonely Salomé, Dancing Salomé
Veil for veil away
Villain and prey

The first veil falls - illusion
The second one - innocence
The third one follows - pride
And four was my way back

Losing my dignity
With every move I make
I'm losing it
The veil falls

Freedom was long ago
With every step I take
I walk away
From this veil

Singing Salomé, Naked Salomé
Veil for veil away
Villain and prey

If there's one thing left to see
That's of interest
Then it's in my chest
The seventh veil is me

Only For The Stars In Your Eyes

On a train to Neverland
We are riding hand in hand
We are chasing unicorns
And elves
Chinese dragons guide our way
To the dawning of the day
We will give a promise to
Ourselves

Only for tonight
Only for the stars in your eyes

We are crazy, but who cares...!
To our heaven there are stairs
If we want it to be like
That
And reality is just
An illusion that we must
Soon return to, yes, but not
Yet

Only for tonight
Only for the stars in your eyes

Hey, Give me what I need
Hey, you are what I want

Only for tonight
For your eyes only

Only for tonight
Only for the stars in your eyes

Firestorm

Close to the flame
Behind my eyes there is a beast
that longs for you
Calling my name
So if you're brave enough to risk it
follow me
Into the firestorm

Have you ever been inside a flame?
Did you ever play a burning game?
Would you do what I want you to do?
Do you like the way I'm burning you?

There's no need to be afraid of this
Let me melt you with my dragon-kiss
Let me walk with you the firing line
Put your burn onto the heart of mine

(I. Will. Burn. You.)

Yesterday I had a flaming dream
We were swimming in a lava stream
We were watching an exploding sun
Counting sparkles until they were gone

A New Age

ll Bells ringing, it's my wake-up shout
I know the way out
It's five past twelve, we'd better run
A new age has begun

Hush, little darling, don't you cry
I am your favour
I am your answer, I'm your light
I'm your saviour

Oh, I know where we're going, I hold the key to our fate
Let's face a new morning before it's too late

See! A new age has begun
I will get you
To a time of brightest light
Empty is my name and I am right

You think your life will bring you down
Just clean up your mind
I am enlightened, I have come
Just to lead the blind

Oh, no tar and no feathers with answers so close at hand
I'll drive you to madness, but that's what you want!

See! A new age has begun...

I am the insect inside your mind
The buzzing noise that you can't find
Over your shoulder, inside your head
I turn the switch from good to bad
Material saviour with bank account
Glad for the bliss that you have found
A VISA-master, cards up my sleeve,
Appreciate what you leave

See! A new age has begun.

The Wind And The Ocean

I am like the endless ocean
Carry dreams to distant shores
You are like the wind that moves me
Whispering breeze and roaring storm

Azure is my garden
I grow some seaweed on the ground
I sleep and dream of naiads
And of the sunk ships that I found

I am like the endless ocean...

Through the rough sea's current
My blue heart's drawn to your caress
I'll give you salty kisses
How do you like my glittering dress?

Seawards, seawards
Sail your vessels
Human plaything for my waves
Seawards, seawards
Sail your vessels
'Til my seabed is your grave

I am like the endless ocean...

Sisters Of The Light

Follow me through the night
We are sisters of the light
We are daughters of sin
We are laughter in the wind
Follow me through the night
We are sisters of the light
We are wild, we are free
Through the darkness follow me!

I am here to break the silence and
I want you to be the voice of mine

Follow me now

Follow me through the night...

You alone, you can let time stand still and
You create the missing element

We're the fires of hell
We're the deep rough sea
We're the stormy air
We are we
We're the ashes of time
And we are banshee
Through the darkness, sisters,
Follow me!

Follow me now

Follow me through the night...

Sleeping Dogs Lie

Night falls down and soon we're all alone
What do you have in mind, guidance of the blind, I feel lost
Lost inside this maze of shame and sin
A taste of sweetest wine, addictive yet so fine, I want more

The conscience says no, all senses yell go,
There's too much at stake this time
The more I deny, the more I commit to this night

Don't tell me what you feel, don't tell me what you see
Close your eyes and stay behind the scene
Any alibi will be one step over the line
Do you feel my pain, do you share my fears
So right even if I die tonight
Will I pay the price at the edge of time?
Let sleeping dogs lie

Time stands still, the room seems frozen now
Two creatures moving in a game of lose or win, right or wrong
Step aside, loosen this stranglehold
May heaven's fires burn the point of no return, sensual thorn

My head's spinning round, waiting to fall, fall for a secret desire
Too far to starve yet too close to breathe in this lie

Gonna make your sleeping dogs fly

On My Way

I'm on my way - to the places only you have seen
So far away - show me places where I've never been
Come touch my soul - you're here to fill this life of mine
Take my control - this Midas touch is all divine

I am your light, the keeper of the flame
You are the night causing sweetest pain

And I feel it is real - nothing I can hide inside
A spirit took me back to life again
And I see it is real - forgotten's what I used to be
A new born soul, I'm on my way

To where all dreams whisper your name
I'm yours to take - made in heaven, not in vain
In your dark eyes - lies the suffering of my pride
Look at my tries - to fight this longing I can't hide

You're what I need - got me out of mind
You will take the lead - forever, I'll be blind

And I feel it is real - nothing I can hide inside...

Once I thought this could not happen
Solitary, my soul, now gone astray

And I feel it is real - nothing I can hide inside...
