Sits all alone
on a rock at the coast
betrayed and misled
vengeance on his mind
searching for eternal oblivion
he´d never forgive them

And to the ground fell the whistler´s tears
as he thought about those wasted years
And to the ground fell the whistler´s tears
as he thought about those wasted years

When they came to him to ask for help
they promised a big reward for his efforts
but how could he know that they´d cheat him in the end

And to the ground fell the whistler´s tears
as he thought about those wasted years
And to the ground fell the whistler´s tears
as he thought about those wasted years

So he led the rats into the sea
to release the city from the agony
but when he eventually asked for his gold
they chased him away

but he trusted lies
he fixed a plan to take revenge
to let them bleed for what they had done

So come, my children, I´ll guide your way
follow me to my kingdom of hate
leave your families far behind
for damnation is all they´ll ever find

And to the ground fell the whistler´s tears
as he thought about those wasted years
And to the ground fell the whistler´s tears
as he thought about those wasted years...

How can it be that you´re not at my side
I´m still pretending that you´ve not gone away
Tears from my eyes are flowing silently in streams
The day will come when I will understand

I´ve asked myself a thousand times why did she go?
I miss you anyway remembering your smile
See your face everywhere and anytime
Still I don´t know what ever happened to you

Get out of my head-
I still miss you
Get out of my head-
I´d wish you were here

(When I wake up at night I feel so strange
Cause in my dreams we´re not yet apart
But I have to realize that life goes on without you
Although it´s hard to take, but I will make my way)

How could I know that you`re so far away
I swear you for that I´ll take revenge
Then you`re here with ya knees on the ground
There`s no chance and now it´ll end

This black-dressed man was following you
You know him from your dreams
He is the reaper, calling for you
your time is over it seems
The scythe in his old hand
glittering in the moonlight
He´s calling your name
and takes you by the hand

Can you hear him- as you start your journey
Can you hear him- your mind is turning black
Can you hear him- he´s the voice in your head
Can you hear him- he helps you to forget

Your way through the neverlands is long and hard
full of desire to come to an end
make sure the reaper will take you with him
life now is over, take your last breath

you reached the gates, now all life has an end
Nothing left to lose in this game
the time is right to fulfill your fate
your candle of life has burned down

you walk along the road of damnation
soon all miracles will make sense to you
you pass the gates of wisdom
but now it is too late
staring into the moonlight
can´t get you out of this misery

Can you hear him- as you start your journey
Can you hear him- your mind is turning black
Can you hear him- he´s the voice in your head
Can you hear him- he helps you to forget

The sun was going down
As he opened his eyes
The bell was chiming seven times

The air outside
Was frozen like ice
The last day came to his mind

The price for his life was insanity
A voice in his head starts whispering
Backwards he stumbles right into a chair
A strangled cry suddenly
voices start to speak

Voice of Evil
Voice of Lies
beneath the shattered remains of his soul
it all turns to black

-Take my life but let me go
"I won´t make it that easy for you"
why won´t you ease my pain?
"You made mistakes, but you´re only human,
Hallow me, I´m your lord"

Voice of Evil
Voice of Lies
Beneath the shattered remains of his soul
It all turns to black

I never wanted to end it this way
Been working hard each day for my family
But when I awoke this morning
A strange transformation had been done

All my life I´ve been the one
Who had to bear the responsibility
But now I´m worthless, only vermin
I think I´m now to leave this world

Artificial, that´s what I am
Abandoned, among the likes of me
There´s none who could understand me
And deep inside, I feel so empty

As I´m dying, yet in peace
I´m still crying, can´t you hear
And as the breath o life slowly fails me
My sister´s picture´s on my mind

Been sitting in my chamber
Here for ages, no sense of life
Come closer, take a look at what
I´ve become eventually

As I´m dying, yet in peace
I´m still crying, can´t you hear
And as the breath o life slowly fails me
My sister´s picture´s on my mind

Live your dreams
Follow your heart
Seize the day and search
For your single way
Try to keep your promise
Or you will be one of them

just a memory of your former life
your sorrow will be gone with the night

So dare to dream your dream of light
Don´t miss a thing just hold on tight
Out in the distance live your life
Because one day you´ll return

Never be like someone else
Or you will soon be dead
Open your mind
And face your dreams
Just try to keep your destiny alive

just a memory of your former life
your sorrow will be gone with the night

Darkness surrounding me
Can´t see no flickering light
Damned for all times
And eternally

I miss the dawning of the day
Threatening shadows all around
Take my spirit to the sky
For I lost all of my faith

Here in the shadows
All life now has an end
Faces turn into grey dust
The pain that I feel

I miss the dawning of the day
Threatening shadows all around
Take my spirit to the sky
For I lost all of my faith

For I lost all of my faith
Eternal winter
Eternal winter

Walking through the shadows
No hope for escape
Traveling through wastelands
Where none dares to go
Emptiness inside me
Praying for my soul
all my faith is lost
but I´m still searching for the sun

I miss the dawning of the day
Threatening shadows all around
Take my spirit to the sky
For I lost all of my faith

Trapped inside this dark room
outside there´s nothing but silence
My mind is so empty
I am abandoned
My head´s full of sorrow
I see them right behind me
There´s nothing left to loose
Yet I´m still alive

My heart´s bleeding
Can´t hide my pain
Time´s running away
There´s no sense at all

Could this just be a dream
A real hurting one
My will is broken
I just want to rest in peace
I´m so tired of being lonely
My sense of life is lost
What will be next
Can´t expect the unexpected

My heart´s bleeding
Can´t hide my pain
Time´s running away
There´s no sense at all

I´m not what one would call
A person with a tough and severe will
Except my tendency towards
Self-destruction I am quite still
Let me introduce you to a
Secret place within my self
Hidden by a false facade
Not yet seen by no one else

When you shout at me
It only shows that you care
When you beat me up
It only shows that you dare
When you give me names
It shows what you really feel for me
When you insult me
It only shows your lack of confidence

After all I´m here again
My fears are gone, captured deep within
It took me ages just to realize
The madness in me took me time
The lesson that time taught me
Was that wounds need time to heal
Still feel like I´m insane
Another lesson filled with pain

When you shout at me
It only shows that you care
When you beat me up
It only shows that you dare
When you give me names
It shows what you really feel for me
When you insult me
It only shows your lack of confidence

I´ve always asked myself who I am
Or what I´m meant to be
Archaic signs I don´t understand
Prisoned in my own misery

When I wake at Night
I can´t remember what I see
Dark silhouettes keep haunting me
Over and over again

In Quest for I
Search the corners of your soul
In Quest for I
More than meets the eye
In Quest for I
Search the corners of your soul
In Quest for I
More than meets the eye

I hear voices in my dreams
I think I lose my sanity
Elder words of cruelty
Long forgotten vanity

A place under the growling waves
Turned into blue light
There´s no way to escape for me
From this everlasting night

In Quest for I
Search the corners of your soul
In Quest for I
More than meets the eye
In Quest for I
Search the corners of your soul
In Quest for I
More than meets the eye

Dissatisfied with my current life
Deep inside there´s an urge to change
The rain outside won´t ease my pain
Licking my wounds no one cares

It is hard to recognise when my time has come
Can you hear the chiming bell?
The dawn of my new life comes closer my friend
It is hard to recognise when my time has come
Can you hear the chiming bell?
Now I´m sold down the river

Torn apart by a burning hunger
Watching out for new horizons
Infected by a blurring spirit
Of a selfmade revolution

It is hard to recognise when my time has come
Can you hear the chiming bell?
The dawn of my new life comes closer my friend
It is hard to recognise when my time has come
Can you hear the chiming bell?
Now I´m sold down the river

I am the one who failed to see
What life is all about
Now I am standing here in front of the ruins
Once again the fear is all that remains

You are the one who failed to feel
What I am all about
Part of me just can´t believe
That you just won´t give us a try

The Pain and the sleeplessness are wearing me down
Have you ever really thought about your destiny
Will you be there to defeat your decisions you have made
Have you ever really thought about the sense

This is the time to tell the truth
No fact will be forgotten
This is the time to prove I´m right
No more lies the truth will hurt

You might call me a liar
You will never believe me
We were the ones too blind to see
We simply ignored reality

The Pain and the sleeplessness are wearing me down
Have you ever really thought about your destiny
Will you be there to defeat the decisions you have made
Have you ever really thought about the sense

My sweetheart,
I nearly gave you everything
And now you´re here blaming me
My world seems to stand still
When you´re here with me

Oh honey,
Tell me the reason for cheating me
Sometimes I am crying
And you will never know
How fragile and weak I am

Once again - I am touching your face
Once again - I can hear you breathing
Once again - I am holding you close
Once again - it feels like lifetimes ago

My lovely,
I spend all my days with missing you
Seeing your lovely face before my eyes
This fascination which goes out from you
Leads me to insanity

Dear fate,
I´m glad for making these mistakes
It feels like I was dead to the world
On the contrary I still open my eyes and I think of you
The only thing I will ever miss is being in your arms
