Destiny Album [Destiny]

The times are changing so fast I wonder how long it lasts
The clock is ticking time is running out
The hatred fills this Earth
And for what is worth
We¢¥re in the end before we know
Throughout the years
I have struggled to find the answer that
I never knew
It strucked me like a million lightnings
And here I am telling to you
Every second of day it is coming your way
Future unknown is here to stay
Got to open your mind
of you will be led to astray
There¢¥s a time to live
There`s a time to die
But no one can`t escape the Destiny
Look all these things we`ve done
Under the burning Sun
Is this the way to carry on?
So take a look at yourself
And tell me what do you see
A wolf in clothes of the Lamb?
Throughout the ....
Every second ...
Let your spirit free
Through Window of your Mind
Unchain your Soul from hate
All you need is Faith
I control my Life
I am the One
You control your Life
But don¢¥t forget Your Destiny....
It¢¥s time to say goodbye
I know it will make you cry
You make your Destiny
I know you¢¥ll find the way
And outside Sun is bright
The things will be alright
I will be back one day to you
So please Wait For ME

Years Go By Album [Destiny]

Look around do you see
So many things have changed
And you should know by now
I never meant to hurt you at all
All my life I have been an outcast
But now I¢¥ve been reborn
And I see things so clear
Open your eyes and realize
Hard times are over if you want
Open your mind
Reach for the stars
Answer is there for us to find
Years go by
Never know when it¢¥s too late
Years go by
Yourself you seal your fate
Don¢¥t look the answer from horizon
It¢¥s closer than you think
Years go by, oh how they go by

Forever Album [Episode] - Live Vesion

I stand alone in the darkness
the winter of my life came so fast
memories go back to my childhood
to days I still recall

Oh how happy I was then
there was no sorrow there was no pain
walking through the green fields
sunshine in my eyes

I'm still there everywhere
I'm the dust in the wind
I'm the star in the northern sky
I never stayed anywhere
I'm the wind in the trees
would you wait for me forever

Top

Black Diamond Album [Visions]

Again I see you standing there watching me
Your gaze, those eyes are tantalizing openly
Inviting me to get close to you
Can't help myself
There's fascination in the air

I try to fight this strong sensation
But there's no chance to escape from this temptation
Feels like I've known you before
Repeating phrases
But I yearn for something more

I know I can't stay by your side forever
But I know I won't forget your beauty
My black diamond

Father Time Album [Episode]

Walking down the path
That leads me to my memories
Pacing all the way
Without a care in my stride
Where are the friends of my yesterday
Have they moved on with their lives?
Can we still laugh
And joke about things like before?

There's no need to hide
Past that I have left behind
It's a good resource
Somewhere for me to find
Why am I waiting for someone to reach out
It shouldn't be all up to them
Keeping in touch ain't that easy
But I'll have to try

Where have all the years gone?
That's what I am asking now
What have I learned so far?
Tell me father time - tell me now

Now I understand
I'll take from time what I need
And I store it inside
It's there for me to find
I can't deny that the years will pass by
But it won't bother me
Coz now I will set out
To realize my dream

Where have all the years gone?
That's what I am asking now
What have I learned so far?
Tell me father time - tell me now

Paradise Album [Visions]

Late at night I find myself again
Wondering and watching TV
I can't believe what is on the screen
Something that I wouldn't care to see

Many rare species will perish soon
And we will be short on food
Why do we have to be so selfish
We've got to change our attitude

I know that I am not
The only one that's worried
Why don't we all
Wake up, and realize

Like the birds in the sky
We are flying so high
Without making anykind of sacrifice
We've got so little time
To undo this crime
Or we'll lose our paradise

It seems to me that there's no sense at all
Nobody cares it's always the same
Mother nature's crying out in pain
We are the ones to blame

I know that I am not
The only one that's worried
Why don't we all
Wake up, and realize

Like the birds in the sky
We are flying so high
Without making anykind of sacrifice
We've got so little time
To undo this crime
Or we'll lose our paradise

The Kiss of Judas Album [Visions]

I hear footsteps closing in
I recognize them from my early days
The times are different the image remains the same
Repeating backflashes remembering the name

Approaching visions of things
I can't recall
A familiar smile awakes the pain

Unkept promises
The night awaits
The act of confidence
The kiss of Judas
I feel the lips on my cheek
The kiss of Judas
Haunts me once again

In your private chamber you're all alone
The well earned silver pieces falling to the Floor
The flame of the candle casting movement to the wall
Your eyes filled with guilt keep staring at the door

Season Of Change Album [Episode]

Season of change life feels so strange
Look into my eyes, do you see the truth?
I'm lost and alone, feelings unknown
They come to me stronger than before

On winds of time my soul will fly
The angels are knocking at my door
Oh now I need to be free
From all this hatred I feel inside

Let it be my dreams
Let it be my thoughts
All those thing in my heart
One too many days
One too many years
I wasted for nothing

I never realized
The truth is inside
Of every man for all to see
Listen to me now
I'm so close to you
Never felt like this before

The carousel is spinnign fast
Better enjoy while it lasts
Every moment is like gold
You'll remember when you're old
And the meaning of this life
Is to live and is to die
Make the best out of your dreams
They are the world where you are free

All the sorrow and the pain
Will be washed away by rain
An eternal joy will come
It can be found by everyone
Though the end is drawing near
I'm not feeling any fear
I have found the truth inside
After all the tears I cry

Season of change ...

Coming Home Album [Visions]

I wake up in the morning
So far away from home
Trying to make it through the day
Many miles are between us
I'm sending my love
From this payphone

Through the storms we've wandered
Many mountains we have climbed
But all the bad times are behind
The road is free - I'm coming home

Without you I am like
A ship without its sails
Calling the wind to save me
I'd climb the highest mountain
I'd cross the seven seas
Just to see you smile again

All the trust that was built along the years
Is coming back to stay
I know, just look ahead
The road is free - I'm coming home

With every stem I'm closer to home
When I'm back you won't be alone
Soon I'll see the familiar door before my eyes
And you

Through the storms we've wandered
Many mountains we have climbed
All the bad times are behind
The road is, the road is free, and I'm coming home

Top

SOS Album [Destiny]

I'm waiting for the rain now
To settle the dusty air
Clearing up my emotions
Facing it all if I dare

I've been thinking, I've been trying
But I've always been denying
Wasted days are still inside of me
It's time to set them free

Why can't we see what is going on?
There are not so many years to be wasted
Until the damage is done and the beauty is gone
Save our souls
What is the price we will pay?
Save our souls
Do we have nothing to say?

No Turning Back Album [Destiny]

So long I have been
Accepting what I've seen
Never really speaking my mind
Now the heat's leaking out
I'd like to scream and shout
I want to leave it all behind

There's no one else to turn the wheel
I've got my own life to steer

No turning back
Coz I wanna know who I am and I want to live my life
No turning back
Tomorrow's awaiting, I'm on the way

Hard to find the right words
And not to make it worse
A choice that has to be done
It is just my life
Can't make no compromise
And to stop what has begun

There's no one else to turn the wheel
I've got my own life to steer

No turning back
Coz I wanna know who I am and I want to live my life
No turning back
Tomorrow's awaiting, I'm on the way

I have all the strings in my hands
The choices that's been laid for me
I am not taking more commands
Coz now finally I'm free

No turning back
Coz I wanna know who I am and I want to live my life
No turning back
Tomorrow's awaiting, I'm on the way

Hunting High And Low Album [Infinite]

I feel the wind in my hair,
and it's whispering, telling me things,
of the storm that is gathering near
full of power I'm spreading my wings

Now I'm leaving my worries behind
Feel the freedom of body and mind
I have started my journey,
I'm drifting away with the wind
I go

I am Hunting High and Low
diving from the sky above
looking for, more and more, once again
I¢¥m Hunting High and Low

Sometimes I may win sometimes I¢¥ll lose
It¢¥s just a game that I play

After the storm there¢¥s a calm
through the clouds shines a ray of the sun
I am carried from all of my harm
there is no-one that I can't outrun

Now I¢¥m leaving my worries behind
Feel the freedom of body and mind
I have started my journey,
I'm drifting away with the wind
I fly,

Against The Wind Album [Fourth Dimension]

Once again I tried to make things work,
facing all the power of society.
Searching all the answers of the life
I'll never make it on my own.
Was I meant to fail every time?
Seems to me that's my destiny.
Is it all that's left for me, confusion and bad memories.
But now my time has come, no more running in the dark.
I want much more than this, I really want it all.
Against the wind we run to every place under the sun.
We got so much power inside we will never give up.
Against the wind we go, towards the new shore.
Together we forget the sorrow it's forever gone.

Millennium Album [Infinite]

More that I live More clear it's each day
We got to change our ways
There is no way to go back anymore
Eons rumble through space
We must find new ways to live
I know there's so much more to give

Millennium - Where do we go?
Millennium - Time will show
Forevermore - The light will be guiding our journey
Millennium - Show us the way
Millennium - To the new day
Forevermore - Give us a chance to change

People may come and people may go
But dance of time is eternal
What is the meaning of this cosmic play?
Will we see another day?
We must find new ways...

Phoenix Album [Infinite]

I am facing the truth I got to change the way I live
Can't go on this way The price is too high to pay
After the rain I feel the sun See how I run to my destiny
Life is a game I got to learn how to play
I make my own rules Because now I am free to choose
Courage and faith will show me the way
See how I run to my destiny

Like the Phoenix I rise From the ashes of life
I don't need fortune or fame Just some peace of mind
Like the Phoenix I fly leaving the lies behind
Future's golden for me
There is no one who can stop me now

I'm noble and strong
I'm walking down the road that I choose
Each day is a gift And I know that I can't lose
Glorious future is waiting for me
See how I run to my destiny
Like the Phoenix...

Glory Of The World Album [Infinite]

The sun is setting on the pain
the people freezing in the rain
the Earth is rolling in her grave
I beg the light up in the sky to make me whole,
to tell me why
I can't be bothered to be brave
and I've been waiting, and hesitating,
and then I see the curtain fall:

the wonder of it all my heart was blind,
but now I see
I know the power and the glory of the world
I took a breath and now I'm free
I feel the glory of the world

the demons sometimes find a way
there's nothing keeping them at bay
but for the power of my mind
the road to paradise is long and halfway there,
I'm heading wrong I'm leaving all the pain behind

the wonder of it all my heart was blind,
but now I see
I know the power and the glory of the world
I took a breath and now I'm free
I feel the glory of the world

Top

Freedom Album [Infinite]

Higher I set my goals everyday
I make my own rules that I will obey each moment
As long as I live This is the life I was born to lead
Unique chance for me to express myself And fullfill my dreams
I'm in control of this ship of mine
And everything will be just fine
Like the wind I'm free to go anywhere I got my song, it dances in the air Now
I know what I'll do with my life Now you will hear my freedom call
All those bad times I've had in my life
Change into blessings if I change the point of view
I needed them to grow I've changed so much,
I'm finally free To do what I want without any fear and quilt It's so amazing
I'm in control... Like the wind...

Cold Winter Nights Album [Destiny]

Summer¢¥s gone a while ago
The daylight dims away
I¢¥m watching here how the snow begins to fall
Yesterday¢¥s like a dream
A memory in my head
Like the life¢¥s gone behind the winter wall

I¢¥m lighting up the candles and lock the door
Sitting by the fire
It¢¥s time to dream some more

I have to find a way how to survive
I am surrounded by the starlight
I have to find the path
and to escape from the Cold Winter Nights

And in the morning there¢¥s no trace of the sun
Just gray fog hanging above my head
All the birds are quiet hiding in the woods
Can¢¥t see no movement are they all dead?

Night Time Eclipse Album [Episode]

If I could stay awake for awhile I would see another morning.
Don't wanna fall asleep now when everything seems so far and beyond.
Walking down a familiar road but the darkness is misleading me.
I know I should feel fear inside but still the shadows is where I wanna be.
Just an ordinary day stealing all the hope away.
Wanting me to be the one who has dreams mad of clay.
My fading confused mind creating phrases unknown.
I know I shouldn't stay awake if I fall asleep they just might find me.
Now all is so clear I can finally proceed.
My fading...
Waiting for the dawn soon to arrive.
So few options that I have and I can use. Life's circumstances can be so cruel.
If I take a chance I just might make the wrong move.

Galaxies Album [Fourth Dimension]

Hear my call,
Don't waste your time,
Remember what we're fighting for.
Hear my voice, take my hand,
We got to win this war.
We were meant to be free
Not to live in slavery
To the other Galaxies we go,
Gather all our strength before they know.
Soon the time will come for all of us.
To unite our souls and hearts
Save the universe.

Legions Album [Visions]

Far in the core of the earth, first it was given birth.
We heard the call the message was so clear.
The tracks were laid for the future to come.
Sons and daughters of the Rising Sun,
the armies in Europe here we come.
We run like the wind we play from the heart,
now we are here together we sing.
Faster than light, higher than the sky,
tonight we're together again.
Never give up and give in,
stronger than steel we're the legions of the twilight.
We survived the hard times, never accepted the lies,
you run like the wind you sing from the heart.
Now that we're here together we'll sing.

Faster than light...
When we have to go back home again,
we'll keep the memories we gained inside our hearts.
Faster than light...
Raise your hands for us!

Mother Gaia Album [Infinite]

Time waits for no one
So they say It goes on forever
The tears of pain
I see in your eyes
How can we change for the better?
Hate and greed`s getting stronger day by day
Injustice rules the world
Killing the lungs of the Earth
How far are we prepared to go?
I have seen the Light It came into my life
There's no second chance We should have learned by now
But it's not too late to change the course
There's so much more than this, oh Mother Gaia
Can you see, can you feel all the beauty that we have in this world?
There's so much to see, forever Ignorance,
arrogance Keep us from being ourselves so we just follow our leaders - Why

Will The Sun Rise Album [Episode]

Throwing my dreams out of my mind casting them into the sky,
canceling tasks I've delayed for so long now it's do or die.
I can't be seen I can't be heard but I am here and I am wondering.
Will the sun rise tomorrow will it light up my sky
Can I wake up with no sorrow awaiting.
Will the sun Rise tomorrow, will I still see the dawn
and not worry 'bout the future at all.
At the end of each day I promise myself, I'd better start to live.
Coz sooner or later I'll find out there's so much I can give.
I can't be seen I can't be heard but I am here and I am wondering.
Will the sun rise tomorrow will it light up my sky
Can I wake up with no sorrow awaiting.
Will the sun Rise tomorrow, will I still see the dawn
and not worry 'bout the future at all.

Speed Of Light Album [Episode]

Today is just another day of my life too short to live.
I should have some kind of meaning a destiny to believe in before I go to sleep.
I find some pictures of a time when everything was still so fine.
Although the years have passed by.
I will give it all I have inside...everything.
I'm away lost in my thoughts, everyday my life goes by at the speed of Light.

Anthem Of The World Album [Destiny]

The setting sun creates another world.
The shadows fall another day is in the end.
The paradise is sleeping peacefully.
and one more day is again history.
Tell me can we go on like this? Everybody is living in a bliss.
Are these the last times of our Mother Earth?
Or is it just beginning of new Birth?
Don't be afraid we must wise, patient and peaceful and strong.
Maybe it's like you would throw the dice then hope that nothing goes wrong. Remember that you have the right to say all things that you feel inside.
Open your mind and you open your eyes together now is the time.
Sing the Anthem of the World but will we ever learn.
To control our hate and to forgive.
We must learn to find the way to just live another day.
And be free like an Eagle in the sky.
How about if God just let us down? If he just is polishing his crown?
What's the key to the Universe? Is life down here just one big endless curse?
Don't be afraid...
Sing the Anthem of the World...
