Oh I see his face! Where is your star? Is it far, is it far, is it far? When do we leave? I believe, yes, I believe In the heat and the rain With the whips and chains To see him fly So many die We built a tower of stone With our flesh and bone Just to see him fly But don't know why Now where do we go? Hot wind, moving fast across the desert We feel that our time has arrived The world spins, while we put his dream together A tower of stone to take him straight to the sky Oh I see his face! Where is your star? Is it far, is it far, is it far? When do we leave? Hey, I believe, I believe In the heat and the rain With the whips and chains Just to see him fly Too many die We built a tower of stone With our flesh and bone To see him fly But we don't know why Ooh, now where do we go All eyes see the figure of the wizard As he climbs to the top of the world No sound, as he falls instead of rising Time standing still, then there's blood on the sand Oh I see his face! Where was your star? Was it far, was it far When did we leave? We believed, we believed, we believed In heat and rain With the whips and chains To see him fly So many died We built a tower of stone With our flesh and bone To see him fly But why In all the rain With all the chains Did so many die Just to see him fly Look at my flesh and bone Now, look, look, look, look, Look at the tower of stone I see your rainbow rising Look there, on the horizon oh no, who's rising And I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home Time is standing still You, give back my will Ooh ooh ooh ooh Going home I'm going home My eyes are bleeding And my heart is lead ahead But it's not home But it's not home Ooh Take me back You, give me back my will Ooh ooh ooh ooh Going home I'm going home My eyes are bleeding And my heart is lead ahead But it's not home But it's not home Take me back, take me back Back to my home ooh, ooh, ooh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4) Lost In Hollywood (Blackmore, Roger Glover, Powell) 4:57 Performed by: Henne Basse -

Lead Vocals Guido Bungenstock - Guitars Frank Hellmuth - Bass Alex Mattenrock - Organ Uli Kusch - Drums See the stars come fallin' down from the sky Gently passing, they kiss your tear drops dry See the wind come, softly blow Your hair from your face And the rain comes falling down in its crazy way Still I'm sad For myself my tears just fall in the dust As I search in the night and find they're lost See the wind come gently blow Time into my heart And the rain comes falling down while we're apart Still I'm sad ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 12) Lady Of The Lake (Blackmore, Dio) 4:02 - Japanese bonus track Performed by: Henne Basse - Lead Vocals Guido Bungenstock - Guitars Frank Hellmuth - Bass Ferdy Doernberg - Keysprogramming Uli Kusch - Drums, Keysprogramming There's a magical sound sliding over the ground Making it shiver and shake And a permanent cry falling out to the sky Slippery and sly like a snake With a delicate move kind of shifty and smooth A shadow has covered light Then a beam in the shade from a silvery blade Has shattered the edge of the night I know she waits below Only to rise on command When she comes for me She's got my life in her hands When a movement behind hit the side of my mind I trembled and shook it away Then another assault and I started to faultier Fibers of steel turned to clay With a bubbly turn now the water should churn And push it way from the core And a lady in white will bring sun the night Brighter than ever before Lady of the lake Straight down I'm swirling around Blinded and bruised by the strain There must be some way to see Diamonds out of the rain Lady of the lake ------------------------------------------------------------------------
