We Ride 03:37
You promised gold, but sold us shards Broken dreams wrapped in rags Anything that lies around is not an option, but the only choice for us You only scratch the upper surface We go down, but we won't drown We ride We just thrill ourselves We just feed our souls While you try to push us aside We ride Beyond the borders the trip begins Our money is your idle state Gloomy coats, clattering boots end in smoke We feed ourselves with what we need We ride abandoned cities you live in celebrate yourself and the things that you create We’re sucking in your holy human kind On the hills We leave you there, behind We ride

The escape was nothing but a childish dream I had searching for the angels in bitter hope that slightly fades stumbling through thrilling worlds, for which I find no gracious words building churches in the air, where no one waits to hear my prayer far and further towards solitude gone are the sacred places we adored, we had when innocence was obvious, meanings were not questioned I had nothing to worry – the nothing was what I have feared
3.
This night a bleeding moon. So I think, this is the end They ask me what it's like unaware, what they never hear The way we feel is the weight of life How we conceal a life of seven seals I keep my demons well they come in peace, becoming me don't enter secret gardens you would reveal, I am your fear

Those many years went by My days went on and they went well it's hard to understand for me but I had things to give I’ve been standing here for years now And with every blink and silent breath I leave the world a little more And finally fall asleep It's a dying heart in a dying world and all I had to give was passion It's a dying heart in a dying world and all I wanted was love Remember! I feel alone in bars emptying glasses, emptying hearts I keep quiet to understand that even Betty would be bored I feel a glance thrown at me You are sparkling in the masses But under your spell I forget Eternal love lasts a cigarette Remembering all those blissful moments exciting, stunning times of beauty on and on and on we live for on and on and on we beg for wandering, seeking in the memories where all the hope we had got lost on and on and on we live for on and on and on we beg for on and on and on we live for on and on and on we beg for on and on and on we live.

We caught the moon at just the right moment, unique and true real and everlasting, wasn't it stunning? We fight for ourselves weak are the faithful ones while you were the princess I waited at the well Made a decision to take on to take pleasure in I have been waiting to be taken on Whatever may come, no-one knows
6.
You are talking to me, I can't see you Standing right before me, I can't feel like you do I am an endless desert, I'm the ocean of oblivion It's worse to suffer, than dying for you. I am thirsty, I am boundless, clearheaded in what I want Everything that I'll discover, was never ever confined Neglecting myself for a hollow simplicity, futility Closing my mind for the endless sequels you unfold to me I betray my pride for you suffering for a fast release Knowing what it means to me And I never fall apart And I give myself away suffering for a fast release Knowing what it means to me And I never fall apart

Waters 03:52
No matter how far I run The waves are always coming back Asking me “Why don’t you drink?” In a language I refused to learn The tide’s a mighty foe of memory Washes away traces of the past leaves a new mark in the sand lasting only for a day When it’s low I sit and wait When it’s high I stand and stare never knew if the water listens So I stay silent When it’s low I sit and wait When it’s high I stand and stare never felt the waves touching me So I stay silent In all the years of high and low I found my place just in between And suffer from an endless thirst Suffer from the highest sun You will not give up on my eyes We only have a glimpse to share Until I choose to turn away Forget your face to find a new

This Moment 03:32
This moment is perfection, fragile is the breath I take I stop the air leaving my lungs Because it takes the moment This moment needs protection This moment is perfection This moment is perfection – it’s gone before I know This moment is perfection – revealing made it go This moment gave direction One of a kind and never to return There are things worth dying for But to get it all you have to live This moment needs protection This moment is perfection
9.
We're doubting your existence But chose to be your sons We dance on our own graves Blinded by life, by men As long as you don’t suffer From the perfect of believe You are not open to the wounded Inner circles have no flaws Holy spirits where holding me down They stood in my way to express, to excess Then I broke free from the ritual chains To find me again in a cage, in a mess My power comes from words Many tongues face many walls Better loosing in confusion Than understanding only once
10.
This is the birth of a princess The pride of creation She is a beauty queen My adorable saint Don’t touch her she’s asleep Not listening to your words It’s her grace that killed my sight And killed her after all My purest memory Dead princess My coldest empathy Dead princess This is the death of a princess Broken underneath The staring eyes of witnesses Breathing in her soul Not listening to your words It’s her grace that killed my sight And killed her after all This is the death of a princess A glassy autumn flower She raises her voice for one last cry But I am blind and deaf and looking away Not listening to your words It’s her grace that killed my sight And killed her after all

Sent me a message in the night Wrote me that you fight out a strife You know how to beg once more Aware that I run if you fall All I want is peace for you! All I need is a piece of you! All your dreams and wishes will come true! All the struggled nights we went through! Can anybody help you through old sores? Somebody must help you! Somebody must help you! Now we deal with the ghosts in the back Your purple dress is waving while I'm dressed in black I'm offering my closeness And hoping for a progress in you The weight on your scale is shifting While I'm living in my vices All I want is peace for me! All I need is a piece for me! All my dreams and wishes will come true! All the struggled nights I went through! Can anybody help me through old sores? Somebody must help me! Somebody must help me!

At least my heart beats tonight. That’s all I can demand, that’s all I've to offer. No thought no emotion is leaving my mind. I'm closed for today for too long and forever. In between all the over-expression I'm left. Alone and in silence how peaceful and tragic. Action after action dissolves into air. Ready to stand still embracing the nothing. After all it’s the night understanding You come here alone, you leave here alone worthless pictures are staring at me while the precious ones lapse into silence the moon becomes veiled in gathering clouds I prefer the sun, where I can hide from I came here alone, I'll leave here alone The night understands too well Who asked and has an answer for I can't take it anymore
