one day we'll die
03:04

Innocent child you have dreams who carry you away on golden shimmering wings
Innocent child I see the day when you have to stand and fight
I see tears of pain ...
We think we can live forever
We think we are strong as god
We shape the terror of tomorrow
We are caught in lies
We're storing up treasures who will shurely fade away
We're stumbling in darkness unless we start to pray
For one day we’ll die
One day we’ll fade away
Dust returns to dust
One day we’ll fly into the dawning day
Escape the pain as we leave behind the past
We’re running in circles
Not knowing the ways we go
We’re blinded by pride and bound by fears
And we do not know
That mankind has fallen by the sins of ancient blood
And there’s only one way to stand before the living god
Innocent child I see the day when you fight to save the world
When you weep for the earth
Innocent child live the dreams – to carry you away on golden shimmering wings ...

the final act
05:39
|

|
The final act is in your mind
It kills your body and your soul
It is the venom that poisones your thoughts
It is the way out of this darkness
it is the door that opens wide
It is the peace you need in this restles world
Time’s running fast
Pressure is hard
Parents are deaf when problems push you to the ground
Fear of the day
Scared by night
Haunted by fears that come beyond a helples child
But there’s another door that’s open
There’s another peace of mind
There is a way that leads to freedom
To leave the burdens far behind
There’s the son of God who’s waiting
So place your life in better hands
His love can heal the wounds and make you
A child of light which He defends

he is hope
03:03
|
|||
|
In this time where hatred grows and liars rule the earth –
In this time where faith is weak and children doubt their worth
I will lift my voice in praise to what will never cease
I hold on Him who calls my name and heals me from disease
And I dance in the sunlight, I dance in the rain
When I wake up I call out His name
He is hope never ending, He is love never dying,
He is power that lifts from the grave
He is peace everlasting, He is comfort and shelter,
He is hope for tomorrow although nothing seems safe,
though nothing seems real but the pain
We are born to take a stand and testify His deeds
We are born to carry on and help us in our needs
I will lend a helping hand because it’s what He did
I will never fall because He satisfies my needs
And I dance in the sunlight, I dance in the rain
When I wake up I call out His name
Now is the time to decide, tomorrow we all could be dead
No doubting, no asking, no fear for tomorrow – just dare!

Another morning, I see the dawn
All seems so peaceful, nothing is wrong
Children are laughing, they play in the sand
A wave of freedom is floating the land
But just a few steps away you hear a soldiers cry
War is casting shadows and treats the joy of life
Don't be scared, do not despair
Everything is under control
Keep the mood, be of good cheer
for everything is under control
Rumors are brewing, choices are made
Armies are moving, war is proclaimed
Justified terror shown in the news
The president tells us: it's just for our good
But inside you fear the day when hate will take its price
And innihilation is the end of all our pride

fade away
04:33
|
|||
|
We are born in living hell
Under the curse of death we fell
I can’t deny the guilt
I can’t deny the pain I caused ... I caused to you
Like the dust that covers the earth
To dust you will return
Like a flower in the desert
When the wind blows it will surely fade away
Fade away ...
Beside a killer I am clean
I know my guilt will not be seen
But in your eyes I know
my hands are red of blood of what I ... I caused to you
But even though I am still safely in your hands, my God!

cry for help
05:31
|

Rivers of blood running down to the sea
Into an ocean of madness
A barren land as far as my eyes can see
A shuddering voice full of sadness:
Where is our hope and where are the dreams?
Where is the promise for comfort?
Who hears our cries? And who gives us peace?
Who knows where all this will end?
Rescue us! Care for us!
Heal the wounds! Carry us!
Stay with us! Tarry with us!
We're dying – dying alone!
I want to run and to hide from the pain
I want to flee from the darkness
I watch this world slowly going insane
I want to hide from this madness
But where is our hope and where are the dreams?
Where is the promise for comfort?
Who hears our cries? And who gives us peace?
Who knows where all this will end?
While I'm still standing here moping in vain
Raindrops fall down from the sky
And I realise it: You feel the same pain
Yes, heaven has started to cry!

the die is cast
03:30
|
|||
|
To hell with the devil, his kingdom is lost
To hell with ya, Satan, someone paid the cost
Brought life to the dead ones, forgave us the sins
The innocent died and I fall on my knees for I know:
The die is cast – our god shall reign forever
We are cleansed by the blood of the lamb
The die is cast – We know we’ll live forever
And we live to proclaim what He has done
on the cross
The darkness will come and will swallow the cries
of those who are scattered and follow the lies
But mercy is shown to the children of light
He conquered the death and we’re clean in His sight.
And I know:
The die is cast – our god shall reign forever
We are cleansed by the blood of the lamb
The die is cast – We know we’ll live forever
And we live to proclaim what He has done
on the cross

burning sky
03:16
|

|
Cold and endless seemed the night – I thought the end was coming
Bound and tied in pain and fear I cried into the dark
The pain had torn my heart entwine
But I still cried out to the one who knows me, every step I take,
and holds me in his hands
I’m still living and trusting his ways
As a bird in the air spreads his wings, singing a new song
Fly far away – lift my voice – sing a song into a burning sky
Into a burning sky
When I thought I went through hell and my head was spinning
My eyes were blind, I couldn’t see the one who’s there for me
He carried me and made me strong although I never felt his love
But now I see the dawning of the day that’s meant for me
I feel the power of the sun on my skin

the shelter of time
03:43
|
|||
|
Scared by the cruelty of our own seed
Shocked by the reports of war
Listening to stories we still can't believe
Dreaming of peace that is lost
All we have done since the world has begun
Is killing our brethren in fear for our lives
We asseverated our longing for love
But no one could ever keep up
Into the shelter of time we flee, we hide
Hoping to save our lives as we wait for the horror and pain to pass by
In the shelter of time
Feeling the sorrows consuming our strenght
Afraid of the death at the end
Running in circles with pride in our hearts
Not willing to understand
Dreaming of heros – the willing, the brave
Fighting the evil with joy in their hearts
To end all the terror and banish the pain
But heros are seldom be found

more than anything
03:40
|
|||
|
Keep your mind on the vertical line and think twice before you speak
Be wise, my friend, and value your thoughts for they’re strong when you are weak
Fix your eyes on power and you’ll earn a heart of stone
For the things that control your mind will finally shape your soul
More than anything else, more than anything you do
keep control over your thoughts
In the haste of the day and the silence of the night
keep control over your thoughts – control over your thoughts!
Watching the news and the tv shows – it’s to scare and entertain
It’s dulling your mind and affecting your thoughts and to overload your brain
It’s not the way to adapt the form but to form within yourself
Place a watchman at the entrance and sleep peaceful in your bed

in the light
04:17
|
|||
|
The night is setting on the town – another busy day is gone
The souls are hungry for the rush to satisfy their needs
The heavy burdens on our backs – the knowledge of the love we lack
the flood of lust will wash away – of thoughts we shouldn't dare
"Take away the resignation, fill us with your holy passion!
Fill our hearts with true regression, bring us back again!"
The light is gone but where's the moonlight to fall upon the human pride
to shine on those who call themselves great and strong and brave?
But now they cannot see the madness, they’re caught within an endless mace
The cannot find the place where they could finally be safe
In the light of the kingdom of heaven we shall dance and will finally be free
In the light of our father in heaven we shall dance and be free
The sun is rising in the sky – again our time is rushing by
Once more we have successfully oppressed the need to hide
Again we’re standing bold and pride, the fears we felt seem left behind
The sacrificial rites begin once more to fill our minds
"Take away the resignation, fill us with your holy passion!
Fill our hearts with true regression, bring us back again!"
The flesh is weak in this temptations, and sad to say: so is the soul
We learned to live our lives in independence of His love
The legacy is pain and sorrow, uncertainty about tomorrow
Our ears are shut, we cannot hear His calling from above

from the dawn of time
03:59
|
|||
|
From the dawn of time we always tried
to be like Him and paid the price
To the end of days we’ll always face
our death in time until He comes and lifts our eyes
Saves our lives ...
The playground for adults includes many toys
Weapons to kill, tools to destroy
The longing for power has taken its price
And pride is blinding our eyes
We care for nothing and try to explain
We’re storing up treasures and know it’s in vain
Afraid of our weakness we run for our lives
and cannot accept that we’ll die

the rage of satan
03:45
|
|||
|
I drew the nails into his wrists
A hellish joy, a serpents kiss
I put the spear into his side
And saw the blood and water flow
But I didn’t know what all this really means
The incarnation of His love was dead to set them free
Lost forever
Pain forever
shame forever
blamed forever
Flames of rage consume the earth
Because we know our time is short
Scientists are working blind
Preachers choose the compromise
Masquerade and hidden games
The truth in darkness – light on the stage
The work is hard for what we once will earn
The only hope that in the lake of fire you will burn
Although we’re lost, although we live in shame
We run the race and keep you in the game
For when His kingdom comes what do we really have to loose?

nightfall
04:54
|

|
Dusk is painting the sky with the colors of the night
I’m standing in the fading light
Nightfall has come
Peace is to come
Silence will fall on the work we have done
Let us see
Give us peace
Let the silver stream of moonlight fall down on us
Guide us through the night
Shining eye in the ocean of the night
Be our guide
Birds are flying away seeking shelter for the night
for a time of sleep and dreams of the past
Feelings arise
burning inside
keeping us warm ‘til the coming of dawn
Let us fly
Take us high
