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 03:13
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

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

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

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 …

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

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…

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
