Chorus 2: You should see my sign which is your desire If not you must walk on fire Please don't tell my your view, 'bout what's wrong or right Do you really know what's going on? Rest in peace and walk away from my side If you need a real friend buy a dog Chorus 1 & 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2) Under The Same Sun (Grapow) 5:29 Lost horizon, the sunlight is rising Souls are lifting, only dreams Wake up to your painful reality Don't go closing up your mind I don't care if you're black, red, white or brown We reach for a better world to become Feels like balancing on the edge of the knife So start to give in, don't discard your life Go ahead with your dream, for what it's worth We're all living together under the same sun Fading shadows one by one, like a wheel of fortune Yes, we're all living together under the same sun When a child is born into this world It has no care which colour to wear I assume the reason that pushed us to change No big difference, we're all the same Be honest today, believe in yourself Raise your head, don't give up, you'll find your way There's some kind of madness still in your eyes If you don't let it go it should me your demise ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3) The Hunger (Grapow / Vescera, Grapow) 6:06 Come on everybody, can you feel the fire Burning up inside your soul, feeding your desire Oh, you've got to understand, everything we need A rhythm of your heart and a hunger for the beat Feel the heat, can't you see Every note takes you much higher Feel it creep, it's so deep Only you can raise it higher Taken no prisoners, giving a way Feeling the strength as your fears slip away Paying the price of the power that fills you inside Loneliness crying from deep of your soul It's giving you hope while you're losing control No chance in fighting, you must let this feeling go Come on everybody, I hope you wanna hear If you do, you've got to let my feelings touch your ear Don't run away from this tune, you ain't hypnotized But I hope you have some fun without a compromise Feel the heat, can't you see Every note takes you much higher Feel it creep, it's so deep Only you can raise it higher When I see you standing there in the dark You're wearing my soul in your eyes and your heart Beware, feel me crawl under your skin Beware, now the fantasy can begin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4) A Heartbeat Away (Grapow) 5:26 Just turn around, look what you see So many memories You lived your life as sun melts the ice Live for yourself If you believe You can do what you want Don't get lost in a dream We're never falling apart Won't see tears dry in the wind I'll show you - things that you - never really knew Heaven is just a heartbeat away Every day, every night, every moment We all need friends just let people see Open your hands, open your heart, open your feelings Self-confidence is the key to choose Don't be proud, make up your mind Flying in the stray of an ocean mind Clouds are stalking Don't hesitate Troubles seem like they never will end Anytime you need a friend Even if you're miles away Remember, I'll be there to guide you home ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5) Hidden Answer (Grapow / Vescera, Grapow) 5:03 You've been caught in a time In a haze of shattered dreams So lost and paralyzed You can't shake off this disease You don't know, you won't show Any kind of true emotions Why should we waste our time you throw away What a fool, you're too cruel I'm mesmerized, you're such a tool What twisted lies that you are living in Just wake up, are you blind Try to be a little kind You might just find it's in your hands The hidden answer too Now take one good look at yourself and you might see Or you'll see what you're waiting for Oh, now it just may set you free We don't know how to show you this kind of true emotions How could you waste our time another day We don't know how to show you this kind of true emotions Why should we waste our time you throw away (Just try and find, if you just find) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6) 'Till The End (Grapow) 3:50 Hear that thunder - die away I wouldn't wonder if somebody screamed Nice and slowly - 'till the end Crashing bones and the smell of burning skin Open your heart for a holy land Mankind will lose control If you just hide under covernment Nobody will reach for more 'Till the end Creating creature - manipulate DNA Nothing natural - that's what the future will be Silicon standard - for synthetic girls That's what we need like our atomic world ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7) Kaleidoscope (Grapow) 6:46 Like a little child in a sand-box We're all diggin' much too low Next millenium will pay the price We found disaster already now Count every minute before time is over now Hear every second like a heartbeat of your soul Wrath of the night, hear that crying Nobody cares, we live in a kaleidoscope Too many times we missed the warning We need a chance or this human race won't have a hope The chance we had won't come back once more Lord tell me why we choose this way 'Cause the end is ready to go No way out and no control Count every minute before time is over now Hear every answer before we have to go ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8) Angel Face (Grapow) 5:47 When I saw you the very first time I couldn't take my stare away from you The eyes of a cat, lips of seduction Wind blows your hair like gloomy haze Feeling of immunity ... in a web of emotions... Was your philosophy, you know what I mean Pictures of a glory days, I haven't seen in a long time Time locked the door and stole the key Chorus: Angel face, my angel face Please tell me where's the answer I'll hold a sign, it says Angel face, no more faith 'Cause without any answer... Is our love is like a flower ... on the grave You won't find an open sealing Your love is a barricade of steel My heart is filled with day-dreams No return to our love battlefield Tears won't dry, hate won't deny This might be the ending Deception spins around, you know what I mean No more trust and no more pain in this hopeless circle I will rise and you will fall Angel face, my angel face Please tell me where's the answer I'll hold a sign, it says Angel face, no more faith 'Cause without any answer... Is our love is like a flower I never will forget the end I'll never say good-bye Destiny set us free, ooh Angel face, my angel face Why don't we hear the answer Before emotions fade away Chorus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9) Listen To The Lyrics (Grapow) 3:56 Instrumental ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10) Reaching Higher (Grapow) 5:10 In the silence of your room In the darkness of your schemes You might need something better that you can hold on to We're the riders of this train You can't shut off risk and pain Look where we stand, it slips away If this world is wearing thin And you're thinking of escape You always think you can't win But it will never be too late Chorus 1: Reach for something higher Don't follow your desire Don't waste your time for another goal You wouldn't sell your soul When your pride is on the floor I'll leave you begging for more You'd better hope that you will be safe Don't think I'll understand 'Bout the lies you are dreaming You'd better hope that you're gonna wake Chorus 2: You will find uncertain songs Please don't wait holding on too long Why should you waste another time 'cause you're gonna rise so strong Chorus 1 Chorus 2 & 1 Reach for something higher Don't follow your desire Don't waste your time for another goal You wouldn't sell your soul (2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 11) Lord I'm Dying (Grapow / Vescera, Grapow) 4:34 Since I've been gone... I haven't seen you far too long I'm missing so much Roland: Missing your touch Michael: Take me back... To your lovin' I waited for so long Now I can't remember Bad memories are gone Chorus: Take me - home, back where I belong I've been dreamin' ... 'bout it much too long I can't - wait no more, not another day Lord I'm dyin' Time's healin' all the wounds The scares you left can't be gone too soon Leaving behind Roland: Tryin' to find Michael: The one and only way... Back to you We've wasted so much time We shouldn't wait forever Our love is on the line Chorus Ooh oh oh Yeah yeah yeah Our love is on the line Chorus (2) Oh Lord I'm dying Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Ha ha ha ha (Spoken): Is it safe? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 12) Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) (Steve Perry, Jonothan Cain) 5:29 - Japanese bonus track (from Journey "Frontiers" (1983)) Here we stand Worlds apart, hearts broken in two, two, two Sleepless nights Loosing ground, I'm reaching for you, you, you Feelin' that it's gone ... can change your mind If we can't go on ... to survive the tide... Love divides Chorus: Someday love will find you Break those ... chains that bind you One night will remind you... How we touched and went our separate ways If he never hurts you True love won't desert you You know I still love you Though we touched and went our separate ways Trouble times Caught between confusion and pain, pain, pain Distant eyes Promises we made were in vain, in vain, vain If you must go, I wish you love You'll never walk alone Take care my love, miss you love Chorus Someday love will find you Break those ... chains that bind you One night will remind you... How we touched and went our separate ways If he never hurts you True love won't desert you You know I still love you I still love you girl I really love you girl And if he never hurts you True love won't desert you No No ------------------------------------------------------------------------
