Burning Flowers (Vienna)

Night train to Vienna

riding through the foggy countryside;

outside the darkness and the rain,

inside the shadow and the pain

you've forgotten the fire

but the flames still burn in the night so bright

it has happened before

so it can happen again.

      

Burning flowers

in the empty streets at midnight

whatever happens

it has happened before, long ago

we were just burning flowers

while the shadows gathered among us

we were just burning flowers

right before the storm.

      

Another night on the road

from Berlin to Vienna

all the way to Vienna

we were dreaming of the past.

The past lies ahead

the future's left behind us;

no room for the present

in this glorious scheme of things.

Well, these flames still burn in the night so bright;

has it happened before?

or will it happen again?

Tales Of Love And Revenge

Senseless knights riding around in the night

evil kings driving their armies to the fight

demon lovers standing apart from the crowd

shadow people living their deaths underground

Forging their idols from metal and stone

buried apart and alone

fighting and shouting and shaking their heads

seeking only revenge

So this is revenge

situations leading to bloody revenge

this is revenge

Tales of Love and Revenge

Stolen moments, lost between pleasure and pain

broken bones scattered all over the plain

silver spiders sinking in the mud of the lake

drunken witches unloving and trying to fake it

All forge their idols from metal and stone

buried apart and alone

dreaming and screaming, so close to the edge

seeking only revenge

So watch your step, cause this is revenge

situations leading to bloody revenge

don't you worry now, it's only revenge

Tales of Love and Revenge

Shadows Of Your Love

Hit me, hurt me

but don't desert me

shadows of your love

watching from above

feeling's not enough

Walk just by me

but don't deny me

why am I so tense

you keep me in suspense

stole my common sense

Hit me, hurt me

don't forget me

shadows of your love

watching from above

shadows of your love

Buy me, sell me

but can you tell me

what is there to see

it's not just jealousy

it's more than you and me

Hit me, hurt me

don't desert me

shadows of your love

watching from above

feeling's not enough

Push That Button

Don't you hide behind the bullet

cause the bullet's gonna make you cry

don't you hide behind the bullet

cause the bullet's gonna make you die.

Terror lives under your skin

but the watcher knows your name

a monster lies between your eyes

but the watcher watches again.

Don't try to count the bullets

cause the bullets only live inside your heart

if going on is the only solution

you've gotta stop before you start.

Fireflies stole your sight

but the watcher's watching still

fire's burning through the night

and it's time to pay the bill.

Don't hide behind the button

push it for no reason

he who lives by the sword shall perish by the sword.

(Maybe) Venus

Sitting by the window watching the rain falling down the street

hoping that despite the weather we will meet

maybe the rain will turn to snow

maybe we will learn what we don't know

      Maybe we can go to Venus

      maybe we can leave this planet now

      maybe we can go to Venus

      maybe we can go to Mars

      Maybe we can go to Venus

      maybe we can leave this planet now

      maybe we can get away,baby

      maybe we can reach the stars

Living wide awake in a dream when you're around

dancing even till we hit the ground

maybe the rain will turn to snow

maybe the pain could really go

      Maybe we could go to Venus

      maybe we could leave this planet now

      maybe we could go to Venus

      maybe we could go to Mars

      Maybe we could go to Venus

      maybe we could leave this planet,baby

      maybe we could get away now

      maybe we'd sometime come back

Ice Black

When the night is back

when the race is over

when the ice is black

(I want to be with you)

when the end is near

when the game is over

when the ice is black

comes the time of love and fear and death in foreign places

farewell

we're leaving for the war

we're living for the war

we're dying in the war

but what I want is sailing over water

being with you

dancing on the water

this night your life is blowing out over water

only the water is left

foreign water

alien water

but all the water is the same, or is it?

when the seal is broken

when the game is over

when the ice is black

I love you again

Ice Black

for life...

The Eyes Behind The Mirror

They were hiding behind the others

they were drifting behind the others

they were trying to get together

they were beautiful to see

(all around us)

Get us out from behind the mirror

get us out of the realm of reason

get us out of the past that haunts us

give us freedom to be

In the end they'll become lovers

in the end they'll become believers

they will never be slain by monsters

they will be what they have to be

(eyes all around us)

You can take away their freedom

you can bite the hand that feeds you

you can throw away your life

you can be what you choose to be

(eyes all around us, waiting to see)

Take the creature behind the mirror

it will come to you unbidden

it will break the chains that bind you

in the flesh

(eyes all around us, waiting to be)
