1. Fed By Stones

[Words & Music: M. Kiske]

God is dead
That's what they said
You got no soul, and good is bad
Don't waste your time
There's no sublime, no higher law
That you can find

There's a river of pain I'm taking all over again
Just as long I don't turn into their grey shadowy
Being

I don't know when it all began
I don't know why it had to die
Your stones won't feed, one truly need

The gullible mind
The daily grind
Takes its toll, and fools the blind
The bourgeois-creed:
Believe what you see, rules all heads
Takes casualities

In my life I was always a drifted fellow, undone
That was never enough to leave me stuck in there wrong

I don't know when it all began
I don't know why it had to die
Your stones won't feed, one truly need

Silent green works overtime to begin
Giving starting shots so that we won't give in
In the air's a hopeful sound waiting
Needing all we got, wishing we don't give in
It's an army of hypocrites strangling
Entities of freedom keenly building
All we are
If we are what we are meant to be
Have you got what we got?
Got some guts to break free?
Have you heard about the word that all living
Speak

I don't know when it all began
I don't know why it had to die
Your stones won't feed, one truly need ...

God is dead ...


2. All-Solutions

[Words & Music: M. Kiske]

I can seem the hardest thing
Depending on the red coming in
And you can be the bitch-fullest being
Waiting for your moment to sing

I came today to ease my boredom
And I came to say: you are my home
And it won't fade away if we let love show
I know I dried out sleeping on empty sheets
I've tried out most of my versions me
I came down cause all that I needed was near
I came cause you're here

It's always not a pleasure to see
You won't give me all that I need
The sky is falling down on my feet
And all the birds are crying indeed

I can never please your daily silence
I will never be the peace for your islands
It's so plain to see the stains of trouble in my
Hands
I've been down and out, jerking off spiritual
I angered loud condemning the world and all
I came down cause all that I needed was near
I came while I'm here

I sell myself a wise conclusion
I buy ourselves an all-solution
We find us brave with no confusion at all
Believing is tall

[solo]

All guild becomes a mountain of death
No chance to breath with tons on your chest

I came today to ease my boredom
And I came to say: you are my home
And it won't fade away if we let love show
I know we've dried out sleeping on empty sheets
I've tried out most of my versions me
I came down cause all that I needed was near
I came cause you're here


3. Knew I Would

[Words & Music: M. Kiske]

She flies, I fly, only we fly and know why
And we lay down what we've found
We lay down for you now
Lay it all down!

Sooner or later we will know
Sooner or later we will grow
Sooner or later it will show
Hey, hey! I don't know why I felt so good
Hey, hey! but I always knew I would

You're turning, fearing while concerning,
Dealing with your way down below dawn
You've been way down but it's over ow
You're a great learner!

Sooner or later you feel sad
Sooner or later we get it back
And sooner or later we forget
Hey, hey! I don't know why I felt so good
Hey, hey! but I always knew I would

You're tired of punches
The defence launches
And there you go!
If it takes longer
It makes you stronger
And there you go!

And in your head you got a full plan
Set to pull you through
And in my head I see your ideal yet,
And you can get there too
Yes you can be there too!

She flies, I fly, only we fly and know why
And we lay down what we've found
We lay down for you now
Lay it all down!

Sooner or later we will know
Sooner or later we will grow
Sooner or later it will show
Hey, hey! I don't know why I felt so good
Hey, hey! but I always knew I would


4. Kings Fall

[Words & Music: M. Kiske]

Can get a long way to the top
If you don't wanna rock n' roll
The party just don't stop
And all their beats won't go

I can breathe on my own
There's no need to pitch along
Here's my breed, a silent tone
And I please no one, no!

I can reach all night
I hear them preach all right
But the prayers fall back
On the senders selfish neck
And there's what I get:

It's nearly almost there,
Without a leave
And as much I want to share,
It's still a: not much me

In a while it's close to gone
Inappropriate and fun
Was it you, who said it's wrong?
If it's true, I might be done!

I can reach all night
I hear them preach all right
So my prayers fall back
On the senders selfish neck
And here's what you get:

I'm sad and out of love
We never love enough
A wounded heart plays rough
And out of touch

[solo]

I can reach all night
I hear them preach all right
But the prayers fall back
On the senders selfish neck
And you get yours yet!


5. Hearts Are Free

[Words & Music: M. Kiske]

I'll be gone when the air gets rough
I can't breathe enough
I'll be gone before all passion is burned
Have you heard about how much it takes
When your heart just breaks
Under all that's not a lift on your turn?

I'd be the last one who leaves
A ship on its trip to these
Fulfilling islands that pleases
But it's going under
Give me a reason sail
On with those winds that just fail
To feed us true after all
I know your reason's small

Hearts are free to wander
Or go all under
Souls can fly to the sun
And burn or conquer
Worlds of freedom and beauty
That makes you wonder
Ah, ah!

I'm still here 'cause your heart is true
I see more in you
And I dare to trust in all that you are
Is it really the pain that eats
All your swing that needs
A good shot of god we assume always far

You'll be the last one to know:
Impossibilities grow
And in the end it will show
How much you really want it
Hand me your ladder to the sky
I hold it until we fly
And when it starts to get cold
We keep the best of all

Hearts are free to wander
Or go all under
Souls can fly to the sun
And burn or conquer
Worlds of freedom and beauty
That makes you wonder
Ah, ah!


6. The King Of It All

[Words & Music: M. Kiske]

I've been had once again
The old betrayer did win
Felt small I thought to give in
And now I sleep with my sin

You say I just fly
On wings I have borrowed
I'm loaded to try
To shoot you with my sorrow

I'm alone tonight
No one there in sight
And I die to be the king of it all
To become the laugh of all rise and fall
Yes so tall!

You'll be the one that will bleed
If I fall over my feet
The love you need you must breed
The hate we build cuts so deep

If I could I sure would
Be all that you needed, it would all feel so good
But it doesn't come easy

I'm alone tonight
No one there in sight
And I die to be the king of it all
To become the laugh of all rise and fall
Yes so tall!

Your common sense is no defense sometimes
And if it ends all what it meant stays mine!

You say I just fly
On wings I have borrowed
I'm loaded to try
To shoot you with my sorrow

I'm alone tonight
No one there in sight
And I die to be the king of it all
To become the laugh of all rise and fall
Yes so tall!


7. Sing My Song

[Words & Music: M. Kiske]

Sing my song
Sing my song
'cause I am wrong
So sing my song
It echoes hard to pinch a part of freedom -
If you want it - get it - tonight!

Sing my dear
Sing my dear
Cos I am here so please sing my dear
I'm bitter-sweet
Don't wanna keep my mouth shut
It's lonely here, but it's mine my dear -
Thanks a lot!

Sing my song
Sing my song
If I am wrong
Freakin' sing my song
And tell me does it hurt
To speak the word that makes you fly?
If you can't take much
Your soul won't weight much when you die!

The prize is hot,
So please be not
That common thing that's shimmering
Among the dead!
Sure they give you shit,
But go for it
It makes them bleed
If you stay on your feet
And raise your head!

Sing my song
Sing my song
If I am wrong
Freakin' sing my song!
And tell me does it hurt
To speak the word that makes you strong?
If you don't want it, don't dare to sing my song!


8. Silently Craving

[Words & Music: M. Kiske]

The biggest fires are burning
And I will try to get back, I'm returning
You keep your head down singing
And all you get is over-pressure-craving

Let me try a word once known
Let me try a different tone
Touch me; do not drift with the flow
Silently it's creeping in
Silently with no warning
Suddenly we meet the other shore

As if we were not in there
We do forget all hell we had and sail on
But that might get us nowhere
Let's breathe it in
And turn it into nothing wrong

Let me try a word once known
Let me try a different tone
Touch me; do not drift with the flow
Silently it's creeping in
Silently with no warning
Suddenly we meet the other shore
And there's no more

And occasionally she sings
She forgets all the things
She's fighting to forget
Twisting in her head

But whatever we may do
We only will see through
Dissolving all those fears
Raising hells, build all those years

The biggest fires are burning
And I will try to get back, I'm returning
You keep your head down singing
And all you get is over-pressure-craving

Let me try a word once known
Let me try a different tone
Touch me; do not drift with the flow
Silently it's creeping in
Silently with no warning
Suddenly we meet the other shore
And there's no more - to try!


9. Truly

[Words & Music: M. Kiske]

I see myself, I walk on by
You say I'm nuts 'cos I always try
Not to stay down when the plan has died
You won't change my head it's harder
So not impressed by those kinds
Those mindless turning minds
Who set their fire at ease

I kind of search our holy
It's kind of not to be
We're way out off so truly
I don't lie when I say nothing
We incinerate the human
And enjoy it on TV
We build the lies of the moment
And I don't lie when I say nothing
Don't try, don't dare to try -
To set my mind at ease!

You see yourself, all marching through
You say you're free knowing what you do
You dig for words fitting all that's you
And I can see the right in your saying:
it's beautiful to be
So beautiful and mean
Let's not set our fires at ease!

We kind of search our holy
It's kind of not to be
We're way out off so truly
I don't lie when I say nothing
We incinerate the human
And enjoy it on TV
We build the lies of the moment
But I don't lie when I say nothing
Don't try, don't dare to try - to set your mind at
Ease!

Devastated, dedicated mine.
Wrong located, infiltrated, fine!

I kind of search our holy
It's kind of not to be
We're way out off so truly
I don't lie when I say nothing
We incinerate the human
And enjoy it on TV
We build the lies of the moment
And I don't lie when I say nothing
Don't try, don't dare to try -
To set my mind at ease!

Do dare to try! -
May you no longer try!


10. Painted

[Words & Music: M. Kiske]

Now that you're near me
Now you can hear me
It's all in the picture now
If I'm ever breathing
If I'm ever living
It's got to be here and now

My life was pre-arranged by me
And that's where I went wrong
No pre-arranging life, you see
Could ever get this done

I'd say we got it made,
We got it great
And I don't wanna change it
I see now all follow me,
When all follow me
They don't need to change it

It's got to be true now
It's got to be you now I just paint it on me
No too high mountains
That's what it gets down to
I just paint it on me
I see, you love me
I don't need much more

I have been restless
And unfulfilled excess
Home long seemed out of sight
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
I've found it in you tonight

The falling rain just covers me
But doesn't reach my heart
And all that's said suits perfectly
I don't know where to start
My prayers and all of my dares,
And all of my cares
Will always be around you
I see, love has found me,
I'd never believed
I'd ever be around you

It's got to be true now
It's got to be you now I just paint it on me
No too high mountains
That's what it gets down to
I just paint it on me

Now golden rain comes down
All over this old town

It's got to be true now
It's got to be you now I just paint it on me
No too high mountains
That's what it gets down to
I just paint it on me
I see, you love me
I don't need much more


11. Sad As The World

[Words & Music: M. Kiske]

Do it again
Say it again
My darling
Your soul is crying
Burning within
Life's party

She's sad sad sad as the world
She's sad sad sad as the world
In my head I get what she's worth
But she's sad sad sad as the world

Sweet as her tears
Nothing appears
As beautiful
The love that she gives
Says that you live
Unbeatable

She's sad sad sad as the world
She's sad sad sad as the world
In my head I get what she's worth
But she's sad sad sad as the world

And all I have to say I can't stop to obey
And so she cries, cries, cries, cries!

[solo]

Do it again
Say it again
My darling

She's sad as the world
She's sad as the world
In my head I get what she's worth
But she's sad as the world


12. Mary In The Morning (Japan)

[Japanese bonus track]

[Words & Music: J. Cymball, M. Lendell]

Nothing's quite as pretty
As Mary in the morning
When through the sleepy haze
I see her lying there
Soft as the rain
That falls on summer flowers
Warm as the sunlight shining
On her golden hair

When I awake and see her there
So close beside me
I want to take her in my arms,
The ache is there so deep inside me
Nothing's quite as pretty
As Mary in the morning
Chasing the rainbow in her dreams
So far away
And when she turns to touch me
I kiss her face so softly
And then my Mary wakes
To love another day

And Mary's there in summer days
Or stormy weather
She doesn't care how right or wrong
The love we share,
We share together

Nothing's quite as pretty
As Mary in the evening
Kissed by the shades of night
And starlight in her hair
And as we walk,
I hold her close beside me
All our tomorrows for a lifetime
We will share
