DISK 1

LAND OF THE FREE
Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen

Somewhere in the desert of the void
Beyond the wall
We're the last survivors
We're the ones who'll never fall
Men inside the circle leave the night!
Darkness all around us
Not a single beam of light
All we have is our faith
Waiting for the fight
The time has come to break the outer wall
Grab your heart I'll show you the way
Hold you head up high
High above at the edge of the world
We're searching for glory and peace
When the time has come, you will see
Our return to the land of the free
Men inside the circle
Tell me what you feel and see
Delusions of reality
The mirror of your dreams
Hold you ground
And I'll show you the way
Now hold your head up high
High above at the edge of the world
We're searching for glory and peace
When the time has come, you will see
Our return to the land of the free
And when the cracks appear upon the wall
We know the moments here to see it fall
and as the sunlight appears again in our sky
no wall, no more, no more will darken our life
High above at the edge of the world
We're searching for glory and peace
When the time has come, you will see
Our return to the land of the free
 
 

MAN ON A MISSION
Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen

I'm a man on a mission
And my deligence won't wait
There are supersonic killers in the sky
Everything you do will be analyzed,
They control every step of your life
Well, mankind has gone to a high extreme
To the dark side on the way
All I see is a masquerade
And the termination waits
Oh, I've seen the faces of a million leaving here
Abandoned times and places of a world
Built out of fear
The quest is drawing near
The mystery of fear is just about to clear
What we need right now, is a miracle on earth
Let out hearts cry out, so our voices can be heard
Let us walk away together
From the never ending rain,
'Til the sun will shine for all of us again
So we travel on at the speed of light
And the gods will light our way
Gotta change our part in the masterplan
For another break in the race
And the trumpet sound will soon be heard
As the dead in mind awake
And the joyful saints will guide us
On the onward fight that we take
Oh, I've seen a million
Leaving right away from here
Abandoned times and places of a world
Built out of fear
The quest is drawing near
The mystery of fear is just about to clear
What we need right now, is a miracle on earth
Let out hearts cry out, so our voices can be heard
Let us walk away together
From the never ending rain,
'Til the sun will shine for all of us again
Take my hand and you will see
The mirror of your destiny
So many came to read the signs,
To understand their meaning
Now I see it's you and me,
So try to understand
And we will walk the road of life
Together hand in hand
I do not dare, I do not dare
But something's calling me
For those who dared could not break free
The one who will succeed,
I wonder, is it me?
Solo: Kai
Give us a chance to live
Give us a chance to die
Give us a chance to be free
Without fire from the sky
Give us a chance to love
Give us a chance to hate
Give us a chance, before you kill us all
Before you kill us, kill us all
Before you kill us, before you kill us all
Before you kill us
 
 
 
 

REBELLION IN DREAMLAND
Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen

Voices are calling from somewhere bellow
melting on the eastern shore
Rain is falling down on me,
been waiting for eternity...
I’ll be there!
Freedom for us all!
And I wonder why, why my heart still yearns
and I wonder why, why the earth still turns
and I wonder why, why the sky turns black
Still I wonder why, but there is no turning back
For all eternity, for all the world to see
we’re riding high across the wind
and when the storm begins, to wash away all sins
we’ll find a place where we’ll begin
There’s something wrong with the world today,
only the people that are fighting for...
...a better place in the world today,
they don’t believe that they gone too far,
...they’re falling down.
By moonlight there’s a way... for rebellion
here, the world has gone astray... revolution
Now, the time has come to pray... hallelujah
deep, inside our minds we wait... for rebellion
Here in dreamland we will not obey the masters
... and the earth still turns but I’m on my way,
he is on the way, as my heart still yearns
... I’m on my way, now he is on the way,
and I cry for more
Yes I’m on my way, now he is on the way,
gonna find the secret wall
I have seen the secret dreams
of those who know eternity
and makes me feel like a shadow sneaking in
In my sleep I’m searching for a way to find
the open door leading me to where it all begins
There’s nothing wrong with the world today...
By moonlight there’s a way... for rebellion
here, the world has gone astray... revolution
Now, the time has come to pray... hallelujah
deep, inside our minds we wait... for rebellion
Here in dreamland we will not obey the masters
Now I’m riding through the air
going to where no one dares
on the way I’ll cross the line forevermore.
For once in life, I do not care
nothing matters, now I dare
On the ride I’ll cross the line
forever to be free
Have no fear, Rebellion is here!
 
 
 
 

SPACE EATER
Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen

You know who I am, I show you a land
Where you can be free, can get your relief.
Space is all yours, desires come true,
Love of your life waitin' for you
I got no time for wasting all my day,
Come on and follow, follow me away.
Spaceeater - you're losing control
Spaceeater - and I own your soul
I'll make you happy, ain't no lie,
Come eat my space, you're gonna fly.
Let me control your senses,
And lose your mind, your worries inside.
I got no time to stand and waste my day,
Come on and follow, follow me away.
Spaceeater - you're losing control
Spaceeater - and I own your soul
A little bit, a little bit, a little sip, a little hit
You're drowning in a lusty whirl, be superman or wondergirl.
Oh, we fly away on supersonic dreams, we ride on universal starshine,
Through space.
I got no time to stand and waste my day,
Come on and follow, follow me away.
Spaceeater -
Spaceeater -
 
 
 
 

FAIRYTALE
Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen

Now my friend it's time for you
To break the spell
Your heart was torn in two
And somebody revealed the wall...
Now we stand together
Our fight is to be free
We never will surrender
We ride across the fields
Now it's time to break the silence
And the truth shall be revealed
Take the question mark from your head...
Let the fairytale be real
Let the fairytale be real!
 
 
 
 

TRIBUTE TO THE PAST
Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen

He who found a way to leave to somewhere far from now
Traveling in his time machine a dream that had come true
Fly my friend, you will see, something called reality
I feel good, I'm alright, doing what I please - I travel time
Far beyond the rising sun - I ride the winds of fate
Prepared to go where my heart belongs - back to the past again
I just want to save the universe for all mankind
He wants to save the future of the earth
Step by step surroundings change as years go passing by
He only stops to gaze a little while
I push the button further on, I just can't get enough
I know I will return again but still I'm movin' on
Far beyond the rising sun - I ride the winds of fate
Prepared to go where my heart belongs - back to the past again
As I movin' on I see things to come,
I see fears and I hear laughter
Curiosity, comin' over me,
what is destined and what will happen
And I see the lies and I hear the cries
and the marchin' of the people
As they go to war, heaven knows what for -
God I think I've had enough now
Too late, too late - I can't go back no more!
I lost control of the engine
No light, no light -
can't see where I have gone can't see where I have gone to
Where am I now -
stranded in time
So many years have passed since I had gone
and I have seen what's gonna be
But now I know it is useless to travel on
And I will return to the time and peace I belong to
Far beyond the rising sun - I ride the winds of fate
Prepared to go where my heart belongs - back to the past again
Far beyond the rising sun - I ride the winds of fate
Prepared to go where my heart belongs - back to the past again
 
 
 
 
 

HEAL ME
Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen

When I wake up at the end of the day
The moon comes out, the sun fades away
I get myself out of my bed and cry
Is it really me now - could this be the real thing
Is there someone else to ease the pain
So easy, so easy now, has it really gone too far
It don't matter anyhow, sometimes I feel like an
Echo in the wind, that's not coming back again
I look inside my head and what I see
Are the reflections of the world.
And I see genius and insanity
You're alive - you're part of the show
You came to foresee the signs on the wall
So many tried in vain - they know the truth
Learn - how to live and fight and learn-
How to fight them right and learn - how to give and take it all
You can be strong if you know who you are
The signs on the wall tell you move on before it's too late
Can you see them? Do you want to be the one who's creeping on the floor?
Could it be forever? Could it all be lies?
The chaos is a killer and he knows who will fall
Help me - I need some help
Now is there someone out there
What are you waiting for
You're on the road to nowhere
The only way I know
Maybe I'm wrong, I haven't got a clue
Don't know where I belong - tell me what is true
Oh won't you come to heal me - hear me
Oh won't you come to heal me - hear me
Oh won't you come to heal me - hear me
Oh won't you come to heal me - hear me
Are you out there?
Won't you help me?
Don't know where I would go
Is there real life... forevermore?
And remember... "Keep smiling... Jesus loves you!"
That's what they say...
Can you cry forever?
It's just a matter of taste
But you say, "Do you, do you know what the truth is?"
Think don't think - what can you see
Our life is just a fantasy of someone we will never see
Therefore I break down in laughter
Now as I change my point of view
There's nothing left to make me blue - never again - no more
Come on in my friend and join the ball
Everything is beautiful - even the band - it's magic
Imagine you're superstar you gonna fly
You gonna go far - so far
Oh won't you come to heal me - hear me
Oh won't you come to heal me - hear me
Oh won't you come to heal me - hear me
Oh won't you come to heal me - hear me
Heal me! Heal me! Heal me!
 
 
 
 

THE SAVIOR
Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen

Instrumental
 
 
 
 

ABYSS OF THE VOID
Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen

Now I must go
I'll wait for you to follow
No turning back
But there's a light
I've seen it all
Riding through never fall
When all is done
We must be one
I will return
The saviour is calling
He's riding through the night
The only, the holy
Returning from the light
We fall to the ground and we pray
'Cause he's the only one
No demons left in this world
Since he has won
Oh hear what I say...
All men come
To see the king of the world
The time has come for everyone
The saviour stands for all of us
Now praise the one who'll destroy
The evil abyss of the void
His armour
Still shining
Though it's torn from fight
The brave man, redeemer
He brought us back to life
Oh yes he did
Now fall to the ground and pray
'Cause he will come
No demons left in this world
Since he has won
Now, listen to what I say...
All men come
To see the land of the free
The time has come for everyone
The saviour stands for all of us
Now praise the one who'll destroy
The evil abyss of the void
His armour, still shining
Though it's torn from fight
The brave man, he battled
On through the night
His eyes they were gleaming like fire
And he's prepared he's the one
The young man
He raises his head
Up to the land
In the sun
Wherever my spirit may fly
Up to this heavenly fight
I know
That I will return from a mission
Beyond our skies - now
Solo Dirk / Kai
The saviour is calling
He's riding through the night
The only, the holy
Returning from the light
We fall to the ground and we pray
'Cause he's the only one
No demons left in this world
Since he has won
Oh hear what I say...
All men come
To see the king of the world
The time has come for everyone
The saviour stands for all of us
Now praise the one who'll destroy
The evil abyss of the void
 
 

RIDE THE SKY
Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen

Much too long I've been a prisoner here
The hour has come to break out
Shackled and chained almost goin' insane
It's better to live on the run
Set me free, set me free
Send me a sign, wanna leave it all behind
I'll be leaving the hands of doom
Rearrange the master plan, take the future in my hands
To be free and not trapped anymore
Ride the sky, Ride the sky
Give me wings to fly, Ride the sky
I have to think for myself and then act
In conformity of my own thoughts
No one should tell me what's wrong and what's right
Why don't you leave me alone
Set me free, set me free
Ride the sky, Ride the sky
Give me wings to fly, Ride the sky
Ride the sky, Ride the sky
Give me wings to fly, Ride the sky
 
 

FUTURE WORLD
Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen

If you're out there all alone
And you don't know where to go to
Come and take a trip with me to Future World
And if you're running through your life
And you don't know what the sense is
Come and look how it could be, in Future World
We all live in happiness our life is full of joy
We say the word "tomorrow" without fear
The feeling of togetherness is always at our side
We love our life and we know we will stay
Cause we all live in Future World
A world that's full of love
Our future live will be glorious
Come with me--Future World
You say you'd like to stay,
But this is not your time
Go back, find your own way to Future World
Life can be for living
Just try and never give in
Tell everyone the way of Future World
One day you'll live in happiness
With a heart that's full of joy
You'll say the word "tomorrow" without fear
The feeling of togetherness will be at your side
You'll say you love your life and you'll know why
Cause we all live in Future World
A world that's full of love
Our future live will be glorious
Come with me--Future World
Scream it out
Cause we all live in Future World
A world that's full of love
Our future live will be glorious
Come with me--Future World
 
 
 
 
 

HEAVY METAL MANIA
Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen

Inside the power cage, I can feel the music of my age
It's paranoid first degree, It's telling me that I'm not free
Chorus:
I've got Heavy Metal Music in my blood,
And I'd like to get it to you if I could.
As I lie here in the fright of darkness, the wings of light remove the veil
It's Heavy, Heavy, Heavy, Heavy, Heavy Metal Mania all the way.
Rock and Roll was far too slow, and so the adrenaline just doesn't flow
Where is the power, where is the glory, Heavy Metal is my story.
I've got Heavy Metal Music in my blood,
And I'd like to get it to you if I could.
As I lie here in the fright of darkness, the wings of light remove the veil
I've got Heavy Metal Music in my blood,
And I'd like to get it to you if I could.
As I lie here in the fright of darkness, the wings of light remove the veil
 
 
 
 
 

LUST FOR LIFE
Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen

Comin' out of misery, back to the old energy, takin' part in our daily show.
Think of what has been before, made a move and slammed the door.
Future will remain in the unknown.
Face the face of the race, try to understand
Why are we here and what do we want,
The answer is easy, let's spread it around.
Loud and proud, we're gonna say it now.
Live - Life - Easy
Live - Life - Easy
Many things to think about, bring me up or bring me down
A lot of things I hardly understand.
What is good and what is fair, problems solved, but I don't care
Sometimes it's just getting out of hand.
Face the face of the race, try to understand
I know that you know that we can be strong
If we pull together we can get along.
Loud and proud, we're gonna say it now
Live - Life - Easy
Live - Life - Easy
Let us fly away, let us praise the days
When the lust for life is stronger than the fear.
Though we shiver and shake and we sometimes need a break,
It's the lust for life that never disappears.
Loud and proud, we're gonna say it now
Live - Life - Easy
Live - Life - Easy
 
 

DISK 2

NO RETURN
Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen

I'm riding the wind, don't need your request
You'd never invite me but I will be your guest
Oh no, no don't be afraid of the reaper
It's time to go I call your name and you follow
Fly with me
Take a look around and say you love me
And I will guide you through the golden door
For everything you'll see there is a reason
The big wheel is turning like always before
There is no return from the other side of heaven
For the big wheel turns and the circle must go on
forever more
How do you like your termination day? So far -
Kiss me good bye, cause I must fade away
Oh no, no don't be afraid of your master
It's time to go it's calling your name now you follow
Fly away
Take a look around and say you love me
And I will guide you through the golden door
For everything you'll see there is a reason
The big wheel is turning like always before
There is no return from the other side of heaven
For the big wheel turns and the circle must go on
forever more
Welcome to eternal life, my friend
Now take your seat on your cloud
Enjoy your stay
But always remember...
There is no return
There is no return from the other side of heaven
For the big wheel turns and the circle must go on
forever more
There is no return from the other side of heaven
For the big wheel turns and the circle must go on
forever more
 
 
 
 

CHANGES
Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen

I need a new direction
Another thought to serve me right
My mind has got an infection
And there's nothing that seems to help
I need to grow an island somewhere inside my head
Where nothing can disturb me,
Where I am free, where I'm forever set
Maybe it's not important
If we are dead or alive.
I never ever wanna listen to the sirens
I'm alive, still alive.
Who says: "We are not guilty"
I say: "We never know the way it goes"
Changes - all around me, all inside my head
Changes - changing face, still remaining mad.
Changes - an all day routine.
Hard to enjoy the good times,
Decay is what I feel
God, it's makin' me porous, vanish in haze,
I wonder, wonder if I'm real.
Newflash - under the new regulations
Non-conformity will be punished by law.
Relax - and don't forget to unplug your TV set!
Sigh no more!
For you, you are not guilty,
No, no, you're not responsible at all.
Changes - all around me, all inside my head
Changes - changing face, still remaining mad.
Changes - an all day routine.
Changes - all around me, all inside my head
Changes - changing face, still remaining mad.
Changes - changing systems, still insane.
Changes - but the madness will remain.
Who is the man who says I'm never gonna die?
It's a lie, it's a lie!
And who is the man who says, I never have to sigh?
It's a lie, it's a lie!
Oppression, resistance
We will never change our way,
The island in my mind is growin'
More and more, day after day.
Changes - all around me now, all inside me now
Changes - wanna cry no more, sigh no more.
 
 
 
 

INSANITY & GENIUS
Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen

Therefore I'm laying down in laughter
Mighty, the mightiest life hereafter
The trip we started hasn't finished here
And while we think there's not a shade of fear
Black points jump in crossing lines
Insanity and Genius
Both two sides are what I find
And I know they're mine
Sometime my womb bears an actor
Your mind - creating tragic factors
You've got knowledge - stolen from the sea
You've got wisdom - just stolen knowledge
Black points jump in crossing lines
Both two sides are what I find
Insanity's not far behind the genius inside
Close before - insanity and genius - close before
Close before - insanity and genius - close before
And everyday a dreamer dies
To see what's on the other side
And everyday more dreamers die my friend
While black points jump in crossing lines again
Companions in approaching time - Insanity and Genius
Good old friends in common life - Insanity and Genius
Close before - insanity and genius - close before (x3)
 
 
 
 

LAST BEFORE THE STORM
Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen

Who's controlling all the misery and pain
When the error signs are lighted in the masterhall
And from the start the action is in vein
Cause the beast is always careful to avoid the fall
We crawl up to the skies. We'll never return again
We're the last before the storm
Watching the sun going down on us
We wish we had never been born
To be the last before the storm
Who's ever gonna change the world
I don't understand what we are fighting for
The truth is sad, no lying, we are cursed
I don't really know who ever made the law
We cry on for more, we wonder what's next to the world
We settle the score, we never look back
We're the last before the storm
Watching the sun going down on us
We wish we had never been born
To be the last before the storm
Cry out for the people who don't know the world
They don't understand what they say and they're cursed
Lying for reasons in search for the truth
Mephisto - we comin' down
Mephisto - we comin' down
We cry out for more, we wonder what's next to the world
We settle the score, we never look back
We're the last before the storm
Watching the sun going down on us
We wish we had never been born
To be the last before the storm
 
 
 
 
 

FUTURE MADHOUSE
Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen

In the morning your try to recover
But you still got the red in your eyes
Then you get up and look at the mirror
And you see the beast arise
Got a big red nose from the overdose
And somebody else's eyes
And you think to thee is it really me
And you have to realize
The prize that you pay for a moment like this
Is never for high 'cause you still doing it
Don't you know that we all stand in line
Our future dreams are just a waste of time
Our future -is a madhouse and we all are movin' in
Cause the world - needs some action and there nothing left to gain
Take your baggy, things are ready
You only need to come
Join this century's schizoid clan
The rooms are primed and done
The price that you pay for a moment like this
Is never too high cause it perfectly fits
Don't you that we are wasting time
Insanity is just a state of mind
Our future -is a madhouse and we all are movin' in
Cause the world - needs some action and there nothing left to gain
Our world - is a madhouse, in the gutter, come on in
Our world - needs some action satisfaction 'til the end
Our world - we need sex and crime to supply our minds an amazing time,
come on in
Our future - and we party on 'til our life is done
Just to waste our time - 'til the end
 
 
 

HEADING FOR TOMORROW / DREAM HEALER Medley
Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen

Time has passed in the modern world
Where the madmen live and speak their word.
Life in hand they deal with god.
Put a trademark sign up on everyone.
God bless the children, freedom is their word.
Freedom freedom 'til they learn to obey.
Don't fear the liars, reason is their name.
Reason, reason, play a silly game.
Where will the children go tomorrow?
Is anybody there to claim
That he understands our human game?
We can make a prophecy,
Oh we can't say what is going to be.
Where are we going, and what is our aim?
Freedom, freedom, locked inside our brains
So many answers, reason is their name,
Reason, reasonm, the question will remain,
Where will the children go tomorrow?
I see red and I see blue, I see green and I see yellow - yellow lights.
One day black another day white. He's one day quiet
Another day he calls my name
He's comin' out
He's comin' out
He's comin' out
He's comin' out!
Listen to dreams - they always tell you the truth.
Listen to dreams - it is your heart that's speakin' to you
Listen - listen to the dream healer.
