Mysteria
Oh yeah...
The world around is killing me
No thunder wind and rain
Eels are crawling everywhere
Compounding with the game
Grind the army, the living dead, without destination
The faceless crowd is out to kill all kinds of variations
You're trying to trample down my dreams
A shot in the dark
Mysteria – the spirit arising
Eldritch cries from the hill
Mysteria – fires ore blazing
Their wicked feast is shattering the still oh
Seven days and nights a week
Spinning like a wheel
You try to buckle, bend and break
And polish stainless steel
Raging fury in the sky burning with desire
Self-determination rising from the fire
You're trying to trample down my dreams
My disdained ideals
Beware of the difference
We're savage and mean – we're a...
Mysteria...
Evil is the dreamer to pit himself
Against the forces of the tide
You pay the seer to portray
What you wanna hear what he has seen that night
Oh – unholy is the feast
Watch us dance around the blazing hellfire
And Lucifer arises he appears at my desire
Mysteria...
02 - The
Piper Never Dies
Thirsting
tor salvation
You're off to find the stairway
Novice on your never ending ride
Whatever you may find dare to take it higher
Here's your instigation on your trip into the light
Standing at the temple
Where the wizard shall arise
You listen to the beauty of a song
A melody of promise calling from the dark
Tear down the portal and then go on and
Come and fly away with me
And your eyes are gonna see it all
And sleep with the fire – do you feel me
Go obtain divinity, be the one you wanna be
And don't be afraid to give in
A ride into the shadows
The piper never dies, never dies
Ride into the shadows
The piper never dies, never dies
Entities are screaming, enticing from inside
Creatures you had never ever seen
And on the back of haughtiness
You leave into the light
The spirit on a mission in the shell of a beast
The ferryman is gentle
And promises are made
The other side may hold a lot to see
He's gonna take you over
And then he'll name the tare
Oh you gamble with the devil, fool
The ferryman is me
Come and fly away...
Balance on the edge of day and night
Not afraid of falling
Time has come to see all wrong from right
Something's calling
Heaven and hell is it all the same
And just a different grade
Now I gotta know the point of change
Where love turns to hate
Balance on the edge of day and night
Dive into the haze and kiss the light
Many of the tales you've been told
Never written for the brave and bold
Come and take my hand tonight
Come and sleep with me tonight
Certainly I'm gonna take you there
Showing you around everywhere
Oh...
Do you believe that you're devil-may-care
As you jump into the fire
Do you believe that you're devil-may-care
As you jump into the fire
Dreamer, dreamer, dreamer...
Ride into the shadows... You go on – into the night
Alright, the piper never dies, I got you hypnotised
Come with me and witness, see Babylon arise
The whore in fading light, let us step inside
I got you paralysed child, the piper never dies
The pied piper plays the song, beautiful but strong
He was never born, never he'll be gone
Oh the pied piper never dies
He never dies, never dies...
03 - We
Don't Need A Hero
When you
wake up in the fire
And your harbor lies in ruins
You wonder why the giant has been shot
Fired off down from sky
You plead for explanation
Is it accident or rule
And where is your childhood hero
To drive all the demons away
What if the light
Shines in darkness my friend
And darkness just can't comprehend
So blaze the trail on your own
Go it alone
We are falling – tailing to rise
Pain is the guide out of the wastelands
We don't need a hero
We are falling – Falling to rise
No charlatan to show you the light
We don't need a hero
Indignity is the leader
To escort us to the fen
Where they say the light is endemic
If only I could comprehend
Now you're old enough to face it
Rabble's stones give pain
Hit you as they watch your tracks
Apart from the way that they understand
What if the light...
Oh we don't need a hero
No we don't need a hero
04 - Down
To The Devil
Roaming
the plains
where a number is your name
In a palace
And you'll never find the door
Oh look into the mirror
Is it what you wanna see
Or just a cuddle toy
The vogue has washed ashore
No I don't care what you say
Into the darkness I plough my way
I'm striking out for paradise
To be the one I am
We're going down to the devil
We are striking out for para
To bedlam below – down to the
The mad parade is coming home
Can't you hear the sound
As they make the hammer pound
Rusty nails into a coffin of your size
To bury you alive
You mature until you're ripe
Then they reap you
when you're beautiful enough
in their eyes
They lurk to wall in your belief
Put up glass ceilings that you can't see
To break down the freak
They don't want you to be
We're going down to the devil...
Oh we're going down
Here's your invitation, your instigation
Your damnation to the hellfire club
05 - King
Of Fools
What do
you think
When you spit in my face
How does it feel
To accuse and to haze
Now look at me:
I'm not one of your kind
And I prefer to stay behind
And walk the wicked way
We don't wanna be like you
Don't you get that king of fools
We don't mind your life is trite
You are the king of fools
We are never gonna be like you
We don't follow – king of fools
You're the blind to lead the blind
And I walk the wicked way
You feel at ease
As you flock with the masses
What do you see
With your heads in their asses
Keep on railing at what I believe
Call me insane and I'm proud to be
And walk the wicked way...
06 -
Forever
Sitting by
the window
Staring out into the night
Waiting up for the light of day
And the sound of silence
The faintly flaring candle light
Parting has got me
Around to go insane
Alone I try to while away my time
Seconds turn to ages
As I close my eyes and wait
Sometimes I wonder
What's the reason why
We long for someone to embrace
And say hello to say goodbye
Carry on – and I will forever
Longing drives bad memories away
And still I carry on and I will forever
Cause when I see you smile
I dare to believe again
Is there anybody out there
To keep on looking for
If you don't know then lie to me
Blue eyed for a letdown
If this is what it takes
To maybe see the light:
I'll dare to shed another tear
Oh I know
The wind blows cold tonight
But anyhow I gotta go
Tell me girl where are you now
Carry on and I will forever...
I tried to build a wall
And let nobody in
To be on my own
Without love and without pain
Without pain
I don't know why
But even/time
I look into your face
Into your face
I am caught and I relapse again
Carry on, it's forever
Longing drives bad memories away
Carry on and I will forever...
07 - Under
The Moon
Now if you
gaze up to the moon
See she's become as blood and soon
The time is right:
We gotta pave the way
You gather silk to weave the net
Entrap the strongest you can get
A soul that's ready to return again
See the purity shining from his eyes
A newborn angel
To help the chosen ones rise
Blood red prophet in the sky
We're standing under the moon
Come down with fire
See the creature come alive
Standing under the moon
Come down with fire
Down with fire
Down with fire
Good intentions raise a mind
A new messiah to judge the blind
Kill off the fools
Who bar my pure and holy plan
We lead creation by the nose
To bring divinity to those
Who know tonight a golden age begins
Divine is the spirit
Into a terrestrial shell
A savior of human blood
Lead us to somewhere
To heaven or hell
Blood red prophet in the sky...

Lavatory Love Machine
Oh if only
Brazil was not so far
Far away I would swim or walk or ride
But never ever fly
But all the noise of the maniacs there
The sweat on my face it's worth to bear
But I don't wanna bounce and die
But then I see a lady in a tight blue dress
I close my eyes, I know what I would go for
Stewardess before the crash
Lavatory love machine
No fear can quell my steam
Lavatory love machine
No cabin fire burn my dream
I'm at your disposal
I gotta get up to see what you ain't gotta hide
Wheeling junk along the aisle
Keep your seat belt fastened
You're whipping with an iron voice
You command
Uh mistress I am in your hands
And when she asks me what I'd like to eat
I realise the domina feels the same
And I reply: What about your pie?
Lavatory love machine...
Lavatory love machine
No broken wings to stop me stream
Lavatory love machine
Honey do you like the way I cream?!
Now if I gotta die
I'll have been stiff and smiling till the crash
Let them know I've been alive
Till I made my final splash
Lavatory love machine..
Don't hear those scary noises
From the turbine when you scream
09 - Rise
Of The Morning Glory
I see an
angel, fed up and pale
You've been a sleeper
You have been getting stale my friend
Time to leave the vale again
Back on the runway you accelerate
Get out of the tight spot and fly
Take your chance tonight
I'll give you a ride tonight
And as the sun is gonna rise
I'm gonna make you come alive
You can fly, reach for the sky
It's the rise of the morning glory
Scream and shout, cry it out loud
We are coming back to life
Now open your eyes
Witness the rise
Rise of the morning glory
When you're next to me
You're gonna see:
Woahooo..
Everyday they're wounding your pride
Try to break you
And make you let go
The dreams you once have had
They'll never understand
There is a bastion that won't ever fall
Our passion, our magic, our fire
Let them run us down
I couldn't care less about
There is no time to waste
You better quicken up your pace
You can fly...

Lucifer In Love
(instrumental)
11 -
Navigator
The desert
in the blazing sun
I feel my throat is burning
The guard is incorruptable
You name it vanity and yearning – oh
Now – dusty wind into my face
We gotta build it higher and higher
The sun god whipping from above
Your child in chains of desire
And craving towers
From the desert towards the sky
The grind of the genius
Who's raising his own decline
And the navigator is heading for hell
Setting off on a journey
And he'll never return
And the navigator he rose and he fell
In quest for heaven
He'll never return
Hey the seeker reaching for the stars
Beyond the scope of profanity
Oh and when he tried to touch the light
Fire burned his sanity away
Oh I gotta see it all
Tempting deities I hear them
But then when you follow their call
Pride goes before the fall
And the navigator...
12 - The
Spirit Will Remain
A scent of
rain
A healing breeze
Is blown into my face
To feel desire
And raise my head
To gaze at the sky
And watch the setting sun
Breaking through
The darkened clouds
And I feel that I
Am still alive and breathe
For all the world to see
You can bind my blood
But the spirit will remain
For all the world to see
No matter what you claim
The spirit will remain
They wanna see me down
On my wounded knees
Wanna see me cry
But my eyes
Have run out of tears
When there's nothing left to pay
Just a little light of day
I got something
You can't take away
Fly away
Far away
Deep inside
Shelter for my spirit and my pride
For all the world to see
You can bind my blood
But the spirit will be free
Forevermore...
