Vision of the dark
04:47
|
|||
Trying hard to stand within the dark
So we can't see ourselves
I'll kiss you no matter who you are
Pretend you are somebody else
The love we make
The steps we take
The Vision of the dark
Now the time has come for us
To decide which side we're on
Not even moonlight can prevent
That darkness lingers on
Darkness makes you feel good
Darkness makes you give away
If you need a place to hide and seek
Then search beyond these walls
A billion people you will see
And they don't mind at all
The reason why
You have to try
The Vision of the dark
Now the time has come for us
To decide which side we're on
Not even moonlight can prevent
That darkness lingers on
Darkness makes you feel good
Darkness makes you give away
If you need a place to hide and seek
Then search beyond these walls
A billion people you will see
And they don't mind at all
The love we make
The steps we take
The Vision of the dark
Well the night will comfort us
So decide which side you're on
Not even moonlight can prevent
That darkness lingers on
Darkness makes you feel good
Darkness makes you give away

Good vibes

Make your mind up don’t take me for granted
Your decisions ain´t something I’ve implanted
Drop your make-up show your face much grandeur
Keep in mind thou´ that I can see you rancour
I have been here far too long now
I turn the time too shame (turn the time too shame)
I will have to leave you now I walk home alone, all alone
Just bring on the good vibes and follow thru´
I live in the daylight and that’s all I do
We gotta surrender to each others rights
I live in the daylight and you live in the nights
Let’s be different just like girl and boy
Drop this stuff there are still much to enjoy
I don’t seek this loneliness,
it all depends on you (all depends on who?)
I’m frustrated more or less so what am I to do
Just bring on…
I have seen a thousand ladies
lying in the sand (very nicely tanned)
Even with my dirty mind I wouldn’t lay a hand

A world of many worlds
03:54

As a part from any reality ever seen or known*
There’s a man approaching on a hilltop oohh too touch his very soul
would be a pleasure for the everlasting race of man
Just to take him by the hand and let him guide us through the land
cause we can no longer live in peaceful harmony
Of course its just a problem that occurs in other countries
So let us all just once again assail our ears
for all the truth of human failure we don’t want to hear
But its up to you and whatever you can do
So if you don’t arise a bitter surprise will soon appear for you
Everybody talk about… United Nations
Somebody talk about… food for all
Nobody talk about… civilization
All you gotta do is let it be a part of you
How can I rejoice on this very day
My life is a catastrophe not like some fairy tale
The garbage man didn’t pick up the can today
The color of my TV set has faded into grey
But its up …
Everybody talk about… the rise in taxes
Somebody talk about… what money can buy
Nobody talk about… our easy access
All you gotta do is let it be a part of you
Maybe I should reconsider all my thoughts once more
All this unawareness could just turn into a war
The pollution of our future turns our life in to a hell
Our sons and daughters has to drink the water from our well
But its up …
Everybody talk about… the worlds pollution
Somebody talk about… nuclear waste
Nobody talk about… a common solution
All you gotta do is let it be a part of you
* a small tribute to Yes “Close to the edge”

Nostradamus
05:47
|

Raconteur:
Lets take a giant step in time to the 16th Century
in despite of all the anger this town is very neat
A pathway leads to the Southern End with the Village to the West
and the citizens are moaning and they sure do their best
They blame their parents and the past for what they are today
but the past can not be changed so they are doomed to stay that way
This is the time this is the place and this … is the catch
The people:
We will never make the same mistake again
We will offer ourselves to every pain
We will never make the same mistake again
Chairman:
So Michael do riddle me now
I am the people I´ll remain anonymous
The people:
We’ve been fighting our way through lance and sword
Chairman:
You are the famous Michael Nostradamus
The people & chairman:
You have a way with pen and word
Chairman:
According to the stories told, you have a magic sight
The people:
Let us know the future so we can rebuild our lives
Chairman:
Yes sir we have sinned a lot and failed to say the least
The people:
Within us is this anger in the shape of a beast
Raconteur:
This is the time …
The people:
We will never make the same …
Chairman:
I am the people I´ll remain …
Nostradamus:
You have come before me so
to seek the knowledge that I know
but my poems are only for the future times
so I write them down in a mystical rhyme
Go, go back to your homes
you all look like kings who have lost the throne
Live your life like a dream

Party all night
04:48
|

One night I got entangled in a mystery beyond compare
The cartoons in my comic book behaved as if I wasn’t there
Gandalf swung his magic wand, locked the door and turned the key
R2D2Z23CPOICU4T
Every toon around the room gathered celebratingly
As they shook their hands and knees they sang out in a quiet tune
Lets go party party party all night
We know we’re not allowed to party when its light
Merlin metamorphosed all my items to another day
Santa Claus would pick ’em up and start to give it all away
Spiderman and He-man talked to Batman bout their greatest fights
Superman and Dracula would lay down in a crypt to night
Paralysed and mesmerized I could not believe my eyes
Had to light the candle light, came in handy with extended sight
Lets go party …
Celestial tunes in high pitched voices
All of the ink have dissolved into one
Within my room are all these noises
Who will believe me at the crack of dawn

Midnight sneaker
03:55
|
|||
I like the way they move around
I know I´ll never be able to see them in the broad daylight
I don’t know whether I’m lost or found
Its just the only way I can get pleased or satisfied
One thing I’m a certain when they drag down their curtains
their shadows and my imagination entwines
I don’t want to be a burden it just gives me some peace of mind
cause I know what I like
I’m a midnight sneaker and I like to sneak around
One night when I had just arrived
I saw a shadow at the window that belongs to me
I saw this other watching guy
and in his face I saw he really got pleased and satisfied
One thing we’re a certain when they drag down their curtains
their shadows and our imagination entwines
We don’t want to be no burden it just gives us some peace of mind
cause we know what we like
We are midnight sneakers and we like to sneak around
Long time ago I last got laid
the women I know just pulls away or say they have to go
They walk away if they’re not paid
Perhaps I better help myself with steaks and leather rope
One thing I’m certain …

Prisoners of the dark
03:15
|

Got involved in love affairs when I was young I fell in love with every girl
Every time we dropped our clothes the light went out we got exposed in different worlds
You – you will never love again
You will always feel this pain
You will always feel disgrace
I – I will never get satisfied
I´ll have to wear my pride
I cannot see your face
We are prisoners of the dark … we better leave it
One must be aware of all the things we wouldn’t dare if brightness were around
Tell me how it really happens does it really happen to everyone in town
You – you will never love again
You will always feel this pain
You will always feel disgrace
I – I will never get satisfied
I´ll have to wear my pride
I cannot see your face
We are prisoners of the dark … we better leave it
But still we drag the darkness down all over our heads
just like the blanket that keep us from getting out of bed
It will protect us from showing how we feel
it just seems so unreal that the excitement love contains
that’s what we kill
Don’t you ever lose your nerve turn on the light and then observe how love can shine
I think its wrong to hide your love there’re things that you know nothing of you’ll never find
Move – move into the light again
Move to see your lovers face
Drop this visual disgrace
I – I just want to be satisfied
I can’t see you without light
I’m a prisoner of your face
We are prisoners of the dark … we better leave it

Time is a healer
05:05
|

See the body of a wounded whale just float along the waterside
and I cannot believe
that the world that we’ve created have been brought down oh so low again
we must sacrifice our needs
If you can see the light if you can feel the heat
If you can hear the sound when the world fades incomplete
Time is a healer of wounds
Except the ones from the bombs that fall
It can happen to you very soon
and your body will cover it all
Mother nature will arise one day and end up all her deadly wounds
’cause she cannot believe
that technology have gone so far and reduced her to second priority
but who do we deceive
If we don’t supervise if we don’t rearrange
then two people in paradise will have to recommence
Time is a healer…
You will see the ice you will feel the cold
you don’t have to be old to be wise that’s just some tale of old
Time is a healer…

Summer dreams
03:35
|

I saw you one morning in the green longhaired fields
in the days of the early may
The dew of the dawn touch my feet with marks upon
from the trees climbed for you that day
We ran on the beach n´ jumped for fruits we couldn’t reach
so we laughed when we hit the ground
The summer just faded and we hesitated
Was it really true love we found?
You are my summer dream
You are my summer dream
And my summer dream
got ripped up at the seams
Distortion between us avoiding will clean us
from this big inflammable fuse
I will not be able, conditions unstable
Am I disharmonic to you?
You are my summer dream
You are my summer dream
And my summer dream
got ripped up so it seems

You and I
04:06
|
|||
I understand simplicity within a single touch
I hardly ever touch you so I wouldn’t worry much
My mind is a catastrophe of love and fear and hate
I am just a victim of the thoughts that I create
and I’m so lonely
Every time I’m sleeping I just dream that I’m asleep
Arise in perfect vertical and stand upon my feet
Love is just a feeling that I got inside my mind
Love is very easy but the hardest thing to find
and I’m so lonely
I really like to touch you like a leaf will touch the ground
And every time I’m with you I’m the proudest one around
Now and then you leave me cold and then I’m really down
But everyone is so nice to me
I’m the main attraction draws attention to them all
Life to me is just like the cathedrals hidden wall
Wish I could show my mother all my friends and make her proud
But how can I feel lonely in the middle of a crowd
But I am lonely
I really like to touch you like a leaf will touch the ground
And every time I’m with you I’m the proudest one around
Now and then you leave me cold and then I’m really down
But everyone is so nice to me
