To you Along came a time, and the world was new Peace and harmony, they got no enemy The first step of a man - the balance was gone Sad days for a child, singin' a song for you Just to you You are the target of your fate And you ain't got time to wait, no Strain' eyes Starin' with desire Starin' eyes Cold starin' eyes They won't see tomorrow Starin' eyes Alright Oh oh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3) Hot To Rock (Ziller, Deisinger / Lessmann) 4:12 Alright Celebrate It's time to party all the night Celebrate The stage is set for you Nobody cares ... about money or your social stands C'mon now Are you hot to rock?

To win back your love ... and the light that's in your eyes Longing for you ... is like longing for life What devil has taken you away Longing for you ... is like longing for life But my fight's been a fight against the lie You take no excuses and your voice's cold as ice I know now it's too late for me, now I have to pay the price I'm crying ... and I don't know what to do Like slaves long for freedom - I'm longing for you Chorus: Longing for you ... is like longing for life What devil has taken you away ... from me Longing for you ... is like longing for life But my fight's been a fight against the lie Chorus No no no Longing for you - for you - is like longing for life What devil has taken you away ... from me Longing for you - for you - is like longing for life But my fight's been a fight against the lie A lie, yeah ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6) Don't Touch The Light (Maier-Thorn, Ziller / Lessmann) 4:30 (Whispering): Don't touch the light Oh oh yeah, right Anyway I got a feeling ... of 1984 True lovin' is forbidden, you better lock your door But it's alright ... when I see you It's making me high Always hiding ... in darkness For you can burn your life in the light Chorus: Don't touch the light Don't touch the light before I go Don't touch the light Don't touch the light - before I go Well it's a brave new world Some kinda psychy war You don't know what's goin' on... And what your life is for You're lyin' and cheatin'... For the night is a spy And there's danger everywhere... For the hunters are out tonight Don't touch the light Don't touch the light before I go Don't touch the light Don't touch the light - before I go No Don't touch the light Go! Don't touch ... the light Chorus (2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7) S. D. I.
