TESTI:

 

Mysteria 

Oh yeah…

 

The world around is killing me

No thunder wind and rain

Eels are crawling everywhere

Compounding with the game

 

Grind the army, the living dead, without destination

The faceless crowd is out to kill and kinds of variations

 

You’re trying to trample down my dreams

A shot in the dark

 

Mysteria – the spirit arising

Eldrich cries from the hill

Mysteria – fires are blazing

Their wicked feast is shattering the still oh

 

Seven days and nights a week

Spinning like a wheel

You try to buckle, bend and break

And polish stainless steel

 

Raging fury in the sky burning with desire

Self-determination rising from the fire

 

You’re trying to trample down my dreams

My disdained ideals

Beware of a difference

We’re savage and mean – we’re a…

 

Mysteria…

 

Evil is the dreamer to pit himself

Against the forces of the tide

You pay the seer to portray

What you wanna hear what he has seen that night

Oh – unholy is the feast

Watch us dance around the blazing hellfire

And Lucifer arises he appears at my desire

 

Mysteria…

 

 

 

 

The Piper Never Dies

 Oh yeah!

 

Thirsting for salvation

You’re off to find the stairway

Novice on your never ending ride

Whatever you may find dare to take it higher

Here’s your instigation on your trip into the light

 

Standing at the temple

Where the wizard shall arise

You listen to the beauty of a song

A melody of promise calling from the dark

Tear down the portal and than do on and

 

Come and fly away with me

And your eyes are gonna see it all

And sleep with the fire – do you feel me

Go obtain divinity, be the one you wanna be

And don’t be afraid to give in

 

A ride into the shadows

The piper never dies, never dies

Ride into the shadows

The piper never dies, never dies

 

Entities are screaming, enticing from inside

Creatures you had never ever seen

And on the back of haughtiness

You leave into the light

The spirit on a mission in the shell of a beast

 

The ferryman is gentle

And promises are made

The other side may hold a lot to see

He’s gonna take you over

And then he’ll name the fare

Oh you gamble with the devil, fool

The ferryman is me

 

Come and fly away with me…

 

Balance on the edge of day and night

Not afraid of falling

Time has come to see all wrong from right

Something’s calling

Heaven and hell is it all the same

And just a different grade

Now I gotta know the point of change

Where love turns to hate

 

Balance on the edge of day and night

Dive into the haze and kiss the light

Many of the tales you’ve been told

Never written for the brave and bold

Come and take my hand tonight

Come and sleep with me tonight

Certainly I’m gonna take you there

Showing you around everywhere

 

Oh…

 

Do you believe that you’re devil-may-care

As you jump into the fire

Do you believe that you’re devil-may-care

As you jump into the fire

 

Dreamer, dreamer, dreamer…

 

Ride into the shadows… You go on – into the night

 

Alright, the piper never dies, I got you hypnotised

Come with me and witness, see Babylon arise

 

The whore in fading light, let us step inside

I got you paralysed child, the piper never dies

 

The pied piper plays the song, beautiful but strong

He was never born, never he’ll be gone

 

Oh the pied piper never dies

He never dies, never dies…

 

 

 

 

We don't need a hero 

When you wake up in the fire

And your harbour lies in ruins

You wonder why the giant has been shot

Fired off down from sky

 

You plead for explanation

Is it accident or rule

And where is your childhood hero

To drive all the demons away

 

What if the light

Shines in darkness my friend

And darkness just can’t comprehend

So blaze the trail on your own

Go it alone

 

We are falling – falling to rise

Pain is the guide out of the wastelands

We don’t need a hero

We are falling – falling to rise

No charlatan to show you the light

We don’t need a hero

 

Indignity is the leader

To escort us to the fen

Where they say the light is endemic

If only I could comprehend

 

Now you’re old enough to face it

Rabble’s stones give pain

Hit you as they watch your tracks

Apart from the way that they understand

 

What if the light…

 

Oh we don’t need a hero

No we don’t need a hero

 

 

 

Down to the Devil

Roaming the plains

Where a number is your name

In a palace

And you'll never find the door

Oh look into the mirror

Is it what you wanna see

Or just a cuddle toy

The vogue has washed ashore

 

No I don't care what you say

Into the darkness I plough my way

I'm striking out for paradise

To be the one I am

 

We're going down to the devil

We are striking out for paradise

To bedlam below - down to the devil

The mad parade is coming home

 

Can't you hear the sound

As they make the hammer pound

Rusty nails into a coffin of your size

To bury you alive

You mature until you're ripe

Then they reap you

when you're beutiful enough

in their eyes

 

They lurk to wall in your belief

Put up glass ceilings that you can't see

To break down the freak

They don't want you to be

 

We're going down to the devil...

 

Oh we're going down

 

Here's your invitation, your instigation

Your damnation to the hellfire club

 

 

 

King of Fools

What do you think

When you spit in my face

How does it feel

To accuse and to haze

Now look at me:

I’m not one of your kind

And I prefer to stay behind

 

And walk the wicked way

 

We don’t wanna be like you

Don’t you get that king of fools

We don’t mind your life is trite

You are the king of fools

We are never gonna be like you

We don’t follow – king of fools

You’re the blind to lead the blind

And I walk the wicked way

 

You feel at ease

As you flock with the masses

What do you see

With your heads un their asses

 

Keep on railing at what I believe

Call me insane and I’m proud to be

 

And walk the wicked way…

 

 

 

 Forever 

Sitting by the window

Staring out into the night

Waiting up for the light of day

And the sound of silence

The faintly flaring candle light

Parting has got me

Around to go insane

 

Alone I try to while away my time

Seconds turn to ages

As I close my eyes and wait

Sometimes I wonder

What’s the reason why

We long for someone to embrace

And say hello to say goodbye

 

Carry on – and I will forever

Longing drives bad memories away

And still I carry on and I will forever

Cause when I see you smile

I dare to believe again

 

Is there anybody out there

To keep on looking for

If you don’t know then lie to me

Blue eyed for letdown

If  this is what it takes

To maybe see the light:

I’ll dare to shed another tear

 

Oh I know

The wind blows cold tonight

But anyhow I gotta go

Tell me girl where are you now

 

Carry on and I will forever…

 

I tried to build a wall

And let nobody in

To be on my own

Without love and without pain

Without pain

I don’t know why

But everytime

I look into your face

Into your face

I am caught and I relapse again

 

Carry on, it’s forever

Longing drives bad memories away

 

Carry on and I will forever…

 

 

 

Under the Moon

Now if you gaze up the moon

See she’s become as blood and soon

The time is right:

We gotta pave the way

 

You gather silk to weave the net

Entrap the strongest you can get

A soul that’s ready to return again

 

See the purity shining from his eyes

A newborn angel

To help the chosen ones rise

 

Blood red prophet in the sky

We’re standing under the moon

Come down with fire

See the creature come alive

Standing under the moon

Come down with fire

 

Down with fire

Down with fire

 

Good intentions raise a mind

A new messiah to judge the blind

Kill off the fools

Who bar my pure and holy plan

 

We lead creation by the nose

To bring divinity to those

Who know tonight a golden age begins

 

Divine is the spirit

Into a  terrestrial shell

A savior of human blood

Lead us to somewhere

To heaven or hell

 

Blood red prophet in the sky…

 

 

 

Lavatory Love Machine

Oh if only Brazil was not so far

Far away I would swim or walk or ride

But never ever fly

But all the noise of the maniacs there

The sweat on my face it’s worth to bear

But I don’t wanna bounce and die

 

But then I see a lady in a tight blue dress

I close my eyes, I know what I would go for

Stewardess before the crash

 

Lavatory love machine

No fear can quell my steam

Lavatory love machine

No cabin dire burn my dream

 

I’m at your disposal

I gotta get up to see what you ain’t gotta hide

Wheeling junk along the aisle

Keep your seat belt fastened

You’re whipping with an iron voice

You command

Uh mistress I am in your hands

 

And when she asks me what I’d like to eat

I realize the domina feels the same

And I reply: What about your pie?

 

Lavatory love machine…

Lavatory love machine

No broken wings to stop me stream

Lavatory love machine

Honey do you like the way I cream?!

 

Now if I gotta die

I’ll have been stiff and smiling till the crash

Let them know I’ve been alive

Till I made my final splash

 

Lavatory love machine…

 

Don’t hear those scary noises

From the turbine when you scream

 

 

 

Rise of the Morning Glory 

I see an angel, fed up and pale

You’ve been a sleeper

You have been getting stale my friend

Time to leave the vale again

 

Back on the runway you accelerate

Get out of the tight spot and fly

Take your chance tonight

I’ll give you a ride tonight

 

And as the sun is gonna rise

I’m gonna make you come alive

 

You can fly, reach for the sky

It’s the rise of the morning glory

Scream and shout, cry it out loud

We are coming back to life

Now open your eyes

Witness the rise

Rise of the morning glory

When you’re next to me

You’re gonna see:

Woahooo…

 

Everybody they’re wounding your pride

Try to break you

And make you let go

The dreams you once have had

They’ll never understand

 

There is a bastion that won’t ever fall

Our passion, our magic, our fire

Let them run us down

I couldn’t care less about

 

There is no time to waste

You better quicken up your pace

 

You can fly…

 

 

 

Navigator 

The desert in the blazing sun

I feel my throat is burning

The guard is incorruptible

You name it vanity and yearning – oh

 

Now – dusty wind into my face

We gotta build it higher and higher

The sun god whipping from above

Your child in chains of desire

 

And craving towers

From the desert towards the sky

The grind of the genius

Who’s raising his own decline

 

And the navigator is heading for hell

Setting off on a journey

And he’ll never return

And the navigator he rose and he fell

In quest for heaven

He’ll never return

 

Hey the weaker reaching for the stars

Beyond the scope of profanity

Oh and when he tried to touch the light

Fire burned his sanity away

 

Oh I gotta see it all

Tempting deities I hear them

But then when you follow their call

Pride goes before the fall

 

And the navigator…

 

 

 

The Spirit Will Remain

 A scent of rain

A healing breeze

Is blown into my face

To feel desire

And raise my head

To gaze at the sky

And watch the setting sun

Breaking trough

The darkened clouds

And I feel that I

Am still alive and breathe

 

For all the world to see

You can bind my blood

But the spirit will remain

 

For all the world to see

No matter what you claim

The spirit will remain

 

They wanna see me down

Oh my wounded knees

Wanna see me cry

But my eyes

Have run out of tears

When there’s nothing left to pay

Just a little light of day

I got something

You can’t take away

 

Fly away

Far away

Deep inside

Shelter for my spirit and my pride

 

For all the world to see

You can bind my blood

But the spirit will remain

Forevermore…
