So we’re all defenders of destiny And we’re just a sign of the times Lost in dreams and we enter eternity Beyond the walls of an eternal light All the candlelights play all games of life Like a vision we’ve lost in our minds No more frust and pain, poison in our veins No more lost souls of all diferent kinds Do we go and leave back our souls Do we leave and darkness is all we see? So we’re all defenders of destiny And we’re just a sign of the times Lost in dreams and we enter eternity Beyond the walls of an eternal light ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10) Breakin' Loose (Paeth, Rettke / Rettke) 5:00 Face the truth ‘cause there’s something deep inside of you Sad but true there’s nothing you can do Sacrifice a victim of pollution now it’s time Roll the dice but noone bets on you You feel alive, don’t  realize the powerdive inside your head The facts revealed and now is sealed All the years they’re dealing with your hunger and your pain Now the tears are drying in the sand Innocence and violence are melting inside your brain Feel the trigger burning in your hand You feel alive, don’t realize the powerdive in your head The facts revealed and now it’s sealed Now you have to face it and nobody breaks it And you can feel the burning fuse Like an open fire burning your desire Now the disease is breakin’ loose Paralized you’re waiting for salvation all the time All alone there’s noone to rely Termination, violation stickin’ in your brain In the end you know the reason why ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 12) Dreamland (Henucke-Rizzo, Rettke, Paeth / Rettke) 4:41 No time for illusion, no time for desire In tears of frustration time’s passing by I try to resist all the demons in me But life’s not constructed for eternity I feel the night from deep inside, a siren to my head No attitude, no point of view I’m going slightly mad In deepest devotion I creep here and pray To someone in dreamland to make my day A million of voices are calling my name I’ m drifting away like a spark of a flame I’m paralized, I’m hypnotized, I’m deaf, I’m dumb and blind A fiction in a dream for every world that I could find Times running out in my mind And I fade to grey Into a room out of time And I fade to grey I sit here in silence without any doubt Reflecting the things I have done Thinking it over what’s life all about But heaven on earth I had none I feel the night from deep inside, a siren in my head No attitude, no point of view, I’m going slightly mad. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 14) Looking Back (Paeth, Henucke-Rizzo / Paeth) 3:44 Did you ever know that I was dreaming Someone elses dream now it’s too late No matter what I do now there’s no healing  ‘cause I suffer, suffer anyway Do you know the feeling when you’re falling Do you know the cold in hearts that lie Do you know the sense when you are trusting And you suffer, suffer anytime I’m never gonna win – Time was taking all my pride and broke my heart in two I’m never gonna win I’m looking back and I find Something I thought that’s already gone In my dreams there’s a sign Did you ever try to turn back time Did you ever know that I was dreaming Someone elses dream now it’s too late No matter what I do now there’s no healing 'Cause I suffer, suffer anyway Do you know the feeling when you’re falling Do you know the cold in hearts that lie Do you know the sense when you are trusting And you suffer, suffer anyway I’m never gonna win – Time was taking all my pride and broke my heart in two I’m never gonna win I’m looking back and I find Something I thought that’s already gone In my dreams there’s a sign Did you ever try to turn back time ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 16) Evolution (Rettke, Paeth / Rettke) 3:34 The whole world is tangled in reins The horse’s running fast, you can’t tame it Vision attack and the devil is hung on it’s back Lifestyle, a multiple choice Captured by millions of voices Dreams and illusions are forming the key to your soul Don’t give a damm to it all Jump the train, hear the call You’re gonna fight this evolution, a revolution Get ready to enter the race Spread out your arms to embrace it Wasting no time, reach out for the finishing line Don’t give a damm to it all Jump the train, hear the call You’re gonna fight this evolution, a revolution Don’t you think you’re out your mind Life is too short to rewind it If you’re hiding your face You’re lost in the haze of a dream Don’t give a damm to it all Jump the train, hear the call You’re gonna fight this evolution, a revolution ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 18) On My Knees (Paeth, Rettke, Henucke-Rizzo / Rettke) 3:39 Late at night I’m surfing ‘round the world Restless I can get no sleep Looking for the one to catch my fall Blade of love is cutting deep Feel the touch that started on the screen All the world was taking part All my love to one I’ve never seen Started to unchain my heart I got weak when she was talking hot Jealous I could watch her play Cyber fantasy was all I got She treated in a different way Living in my private paradise I was captured in a dream Should have listened to my ma’s advice 'things are not quite the way they seem!' On my knees you’re looking down on me On my knees I’m facing the truth On my knees you put the blame on me On my knees – Guess who is who? Time passed by I couldn’t wait no more Asked if we could have a date She said yes and so I slammed the door Right on time I won’t be late Saw her standing at the gallery And my eyes were turning black With a deep dark voice she said to me 'Hello champ, my name is Jack!' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 20) Dreamer - Believer (Rettke, Paeth, Henucke-Rizzo / Rettke) 3:09 Back in time, lost emotions All your memories fade to grey and dissappear Fading life full of oceans Lost in paradise and now the end is near Future is over it feels like a thorn in your eyes Damage is done Your fairy has gone forever Try to believe you’re the passionate one Dreamer you’re wasting your time Believer but you’re the last in line In your mind full of devotions You’re hiding close behind a wall of lies All your moves goin’ through the motions In a coloured dream within a dream that dies Future is over it feels like a thorn in your eyes Damage is done Your fairy has gone forever Try to believe you’re the passionate one Dreamer you’re wasting your time Believer but you’re the last in line Dreamer you’re wasting your time Believer but you’re the last in line ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 22) Glass People (Rettke, Paeth, Henucke-Rizzo / Rettke) 3:33 Black horizon, fading light Organic poison, electric sights Jerky movements, a clockwork toy Tempting plug-ins for eternal joy No pain no fears no blood, and no tears Empty covers when love dissappears Wings of time they’re connected in a line In cyberia where the glass people live No request for life no affection, no reply In cyberia where the glass people live A sound of silence no single word Could break the darkness in cyberworld Suspicious kindness with x-ray eyes Is penetrating into every kind No pain no fears no blood, and no tears Empty covers when love dissappears Wings of time they’re connected in a line In cyberia where the glass people live No request for life no affection, no reply In cyberia where the glass people live. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
