1. Starrider
Way home, close to midnight
Along the road, pursued by a strange light
Something forces me from the line
I come around, where have I been?
I’ve cosmic knowledge and strange signs on my skin
I don’t dare to remember
What has happened in this night
No one believes me,
But I know what I have seen
A light in the sky
Starrider takes me high
Takes me high
Takes me high
Takes me high
Starrider takes me high
Every time when I look up in the sky
Cold shivers run down my spine
Dazing pictures in my dreams since then
Believer
Deceiver
They jeer, while they can’t explain it
But what am I do when they will come again?
No one believes me,
But I know what I have seen
A light in the sky
Starrider takes me high
2. Martyr's Paradise
A chess piece of terrorism
Forced by hatred and heroism
Anguish in his breast
Awaiting in silent patience
His eyes filled with termination
A lot of souls shall leave their shell tonight
For the Martyrium
Where disgraceful angels play
The maidens shall wash their blood away
Where God rewards the genocide
Outlawed Martyr’s Paradise
Decided and no doubts in his face
Fanatic visions of Allah’s embrace
Concluded with himself
Self perished, the apostate Jesus
Tears their souls into thousand pieces
The innocents will face the final court
And justice failed again
Where disgraceful angels play
The maidens shall wash their blood away
Where God rewards the genocide
Outlawed Martyr’s Paradise
Scorn will pale my name,
And hate will curse my tomb
God takes the guilt from me
And blood will be my legacy
Where disgraceful angels play
Maidens wash their blood away
God rewards the genocide
Outlawed Martyr’s Paradise
3. Crimson Desert
We are here
Stationed million Miles from home
To defend, to protect
To save freedom
USA always at your command
You know
How cruel the world can be
So we raise a sign
For liberty
And now we have to raise our flag
And start the aerial attack
Rudely awakened
There’s blood upon the streets
Our freedom was taken tonight
Search for a stash
Inferno from above
But there is no real chance to hide
A prouder salute with your boots on our heads
Who made you to the god of mine?
The truth is getting shrouded with stars and with stripes
Justice never treats so unkindly
Move forward
Though Baghdad’s gazing heat
Western Corps
Don’t know the term: Defeat
Still remember how our towers fell?
Fire has failed
To bring regret
Call to arms
Sounds from the minaret
So our weapons can’t be laid to rest
‘Till there’s democracy in your chest
Ohohoooh
Hail to our flag
Ohoooh
Baghdad under attack
Ohoooh
Hail to our flag
Ohoooh
Baghdad under attack
4. When Autumn Leaves Fall
Rain of dripping past
A puddle reflects my heart
Wind carries the autumn leaves away
I feel anxiety awake
It’s too late
To make a change
Now I’m old, too tired to live
Just hours save me from the end
As long as we have to die
We need to find our place in time
To justify our life
As long as we have to die
Memories full of guilt
Wishes unfulfilled
What have I reached in my life?
So it whispered in my head
Urgently, so I can’t forget
Time is frozen, but the bell chimes
Tears my hearing and I know
As long as we have to die
We need to find our place in time
To justify our life
As long as we have to die
Pretty leaves are falling down,
From green to red at last to brown
So insignificant but yet nice
So, I found the answer to my life
Oh the autumn leaves fall
Oh the autumn leaves fall
Oh the autumn leaves fall
Oh the autumn leaves fall
As long as we have to die
We need to find our place in time
To justify our life
As long as we have to die
As long as we have to die
5. Against The Time
Once we were young
Once we were wild and free
With grateful dreams in our hearts
We captured the pleasures
Left no stone unturned
The world could be ours if we want
Reach the sun
Before the storm will come
That’ll take away my last remains
All by myself
‘til the clock strikes twelve
We have to pay
We have to bleed
We have to fight
Against the time
The days passing by
And we run out of time
So there is no more time to waste
So don’t miss the chance
To make your dreams come true
Remember that time is riding fast
Reach the sun
Before the storm will come
That’ll take away my last remains
All by myself
‘til the clock strikes twelve
We have to pay
We have to bleed
We have to fight
Against the time
Against the time
Let’s go
At least we can say
We’ve tried all what we can
To bequeathe a mark on this world
Now show me that fire,
I know from back then
And raise a memorial for you
Reach the sun
Before the storm will come
That’ll take away my last remains
All by myself
‘til the clock strikes twelve
We have to pay
We have to bleed
We have to fight
Against the time
Against the time
Against the time
Against the time
6. Men Or Machines
Mountains of rust and steel
A world in disarray
Media prepares the truth
And drugs shall keep them calm
People in rank and file
The engine never sleeps
All gears serve the purpose
Weakness is not needed here
Eyes stare in emptiness
Without identity
The will was withered
And all voices are gone
Kids without a smile
Are born immune to feel
Raise to follow
To the iron hand
Thoughts control
Shall expose our souls
Vitreous
‘cause, our hearts are not made to believe
Mind programmed
We are captured and damned
To be numb
‘till can’t remember what we be
Men or machines
Men or machines
Synchronised
In collective we arise
In collective we will die
Sacrificed the inner self
Passionless mediocrity
We depend on the machine
Just a part of this cold void
The past is erased
The erased is forgotten
The lie becomes the truth
And becomes a lie again
Freedom is the Freedom to say
Two and two equals four
If that is granted,
All else follows
Human life is worth nothing
Power and avarice
Creates the loose cannon
Still strive for more and more
‘till nothing left to prey
This shattered race
Shall be the pride of creation?
God can’t believe
What has happened to his former earth
Forgive us
Thoughts control
Shall expose our souls
Vitreous
‘cause, our hearts are not made to believe
Mind programmed
We are captured and damned
To be numb
‘till I can’t remember what we be
Men or machines
Men or machines
Men or machines
7. Karma
Light
The sphere alit in garish light
Unknown sapience fills my mind
All mundane forsakes my fate
My weightless soul does levitate
Elder spirits call at me
Equal nightmares frequently
The deity on lions throne
Straight from the abyss of my soul
Afterworld
Afterworld
On my way I led astray
Afterworld
Afterworld
From my inner sanctuary
Now
I wander through the plains of dread
Somewhere between life and death
And I try to find escape
From phantoms in angelic shapes
The realm descends into bedlam
With blood drinking guardians
This images breaks my sanity
God, consciousness dwindles from me
Afterworld
Afterworld
From my inner sanctuary
I felt the harm of my own vile deeds
And failed to pass this final trial
So I seek refuge in mother’s womb
And so it will start again
Start again
Start again
8. Exit: Night
The men stride to the night
Try to run from their plight
Leave all sorrows behind tonight
Escape the daily monotony
Dream a life, how it should be
Link our little worlds to a universe
We’re gonna scream and pound the rage off our souls
And common we will stay ‘til mornin’ dawn
Hunger for all that takes the dull from me
And the song gives me the strength to carry on
To carry on
Leather, chains and cartridge belts
Outlaws among themselves
Rushing to the show tonight
And the noise fulfilled the calm
Live streams through the lines of our palms
When the band begins to play our song
We’re gonna scream and pound the rage off our souls
And common we will stay ‘till mornin’ dawn
Hunger for all that takes the dull from me
And the song gives me the strength to carry on
To carry on
We’re gonna scream and pound the rage off our souls
And common we will stay ‘till mornin’ dawn
Hunger for all that takes the dull from me
And the song gives me the strength to carry on
Come on
We’re gonna scream and pound the rage off our souls
And common we will stay ‘till mornin’ dawn
Hunger for all that takes the dull from me
And the song gives me the strength to carry on
To carry on
9. Black Star Pariah
Corruption and profit are reigning in this godless land
pollies and lawyers sold their soul to the devil's land
embitered advocates, who played with others lives
sowed the beginning of the end
Our leader, he preaches idiotic ideologies
he abuse his power while people starve in the streets
but tell me if you stand before the heaven's court
how will you justify your deeds
Black Star Pariah
Black Star Pariah
Black Star Pariah
Black Star Pariah
what have you become
War after without insights by the aftermath
a peaceful time we just know from the scripts of the past
and as a storm of rage ravaged above this earth
I closed my eyes and flew away
Black Star Pariah
Black Star Pariah
Black Star Pariah
Black Star Pariah
what have you become
I saw the kids smiling again
brothers who take them by the hand
I got a little glimpse of freedom for a trice
if only it was in my dream
Oh, we live on borrowed time
oh, our clock has run down
But 'till the first sunray pierce through the crimson clouds
I still believe in times of change
Black Star Pariah
Black Star Pariah
Black Star Pariah
Black Star Pariah
what have you become
