CHALICE LYRICS

1. Digital Boulevard

You see city lights
That light up the horizon
Deep colours fill your mind
You run through the streets
Your sea with no islands
A virtual defeat

In a world full of hast
Without recreation
Your "Eden" comes alive
Beautiful and clean Big infatuation
No longer just a dream

You fight the fight again
No real frames to follow
Virtuality that wins
Reality's falling

You are lost again on digital boulevard
You'll pay the price, my friend, for digital boulevard
You're lost again on digital boulevard
Forever you'll be free on digital boulevard
So welcome to the show

You're caught in a game
Of modern temptations
Captured by your mind
A life in a world
Where reality's fadin'
Waiting for a sign

[Words & Music : O. Scheer, G. Naschke]

2. Movin' In Circles

I see you in the morning
I keep on tryin' just to make up my mind
I hear you grumblin' while I'm facing the day
Our mental spasm in the morning light

Now you see me, now you don't
It feels like slippin' away
Let's keep on tryin' day by day
To find a way for crawling away from here

Today, tonight and forever
We play that dangerous game
We take the chance now or never
(We take our last chance together)
But we know we're far away from pain
(But I know we're always far from pain)

I see you in the evening
I keep on tryin' just to find the right words
Telling you the reason why you'll be alone
Some seven evenings while I'm free as a bird

We're movin' in circles
From the very first ray of light
To the stars that light up heaven
In a world that's full of lies

Moving in circles
Far away from the fantasy land
We gave our promise to stay
Together hand in hand
Never coming to an end To an end

[Words & Music : S. Lagleder, G. Naschke]

3. The Mirror

I see your eyes
A little candle makes 'em burn
My secret lies
Put out the fire deep inside
I fear the shadows of the night
I see those tears
The sea you've cried was filled with sand
All through the years
Again, again

We always relied on you
Like a trainer of a tiger should never do

I see your face
What can be wrong
Don't you know our love was strong
Should we ever together take a walk away
(Should we save it by taking another day)
I see your face
The tears have gone
Did we go on together too far

You hear my lies
That whispering voice within your head
Open your eyes
You'll see that sound that makes us cry
I fear the silence of the night
Can't find no ways
The sand was washed out by the sea
All through the days
Again, again

Spread your wings and fly
You're livin' on the edge
Fly into the sky
But hold on to the edge

[Words & Music : R. Müller, G. Naschke]

4. Hold On to the Years

Hand in hand we walked the line
Hand in hand we kept our smile
Friends should always act like friends
Walkin' together hand in hand

Storyteller's got it right
Read the reasons between the lines

Hold on to the years
Don't think about time
(Let's take our time)
It could be my last goodbye
(There will be no reason why)
Hold on to the years
You will stay in my mind
(You're here in my mind)
Don't say your last goodbye

Soul to soul we lived our life
Soul to soul we always tried
Tryin' to pretend a heart of stone
Only reminds me of soul to soul

My mind runs dry
It only matters how to survive

[Words & Music : O. Scheer, G. Naschke]

5. Forever Strangers

I've seen your picture
It's in the news today
They had just told you
Your love had passed away

Peggy's cove is a quiet and romantic place
60 people usually live there
The scenery now has changed in a tragical way
Hollywood reporters live on air

A thousand questions still remain
The voice-recorder can't explain

Why him? Why did he have to take part in this flight?
Why her? Did she ever cause trouble?
Peggy's cove - the most frightful place tonight
When you're alone and the ones you loved are gone

I read the news and I saw your eyes
Your look has touched me deep inside
I wish you strength tonight

Strangers - We must be forever strangers
Don't look inside
Passengers on earth - We try to change it
From heaven into hell
We live our lives - In pride and danger
You're on my mind, but
Strangers - We will be forever strangers
Don't try to break the spell

I've read your story
It's in the news today

Looking back - what kind of life did you have
Looking back - was it all worth it?
From 24 to a far too early death
Suffering from pain and from distress

Living in another world
Break the limits, stop the hurt
Life can be absurd
(And I wish I'd known you)

I know you well or at least
I thought I did I am familiar with fame and failure
And I was there when you cried just a little bit
You loved the wrong one and I could have saved you

But then you're miles and miles away
You are tomorrow and I am today
I'm here today

I have a picture of you inside my head
I'd rather paint somebody else instead

[Words & Music : S. Laglede]

6. Seven Seas

Far away so many years ago
We spent our time to stay together
One for all and all for one we took our ride
On a journey to the heart of

Fire
Desire

A chain reaction of bad attitudes
See the wall of disappointment
So deep inside you felt left in the lurch
There's no way for you to turn back

From hidin'
From cryin'

And we sail on the seven seas
On the quest of our life
Our deeds of insanity
Are concealed from the seven seas

Illumination after thunderstorms
My hope of change a deep desire
Broken childhood but always blood on blood
Send me a light away from sorrow

Heal me

Gimme shelter gimme rain
Feel the ground it's dry again
Wash the tears, wash the pain
Could it ever be the same
Gimme shelter from the rain
Let the flowers grow again

It could have been a matter of time
Finding a way from the tears
Back to the dreams we had in our minds
Standin' in the rain
We only had to follow the line
So far away from the tears
Back to the start before we're drifting apart
Standin' in the rain

[Words & Music : O. Scheer, G. Naschke]

7. Two Worlds Collide

Seen you out there on my way
Coming home from a hard working day
It's just your face I felt so close to I know, I know
I tried to get through to you

Should be with you every night and day
Illusions calling, time's ticking away

Tradition's calling our names
The world's changing, it will never be the same
What they call difference, I can't get through
What can be different in what love can do

Two worlds collide
Like you and me
Without a sight of tragedy
Finding good ways without tears
Will take some days and some more years
Two worlds collide
Like you and me
Without a sound of elegy
Finding good ways without tears
Will take some days and some more seven years
World keeps turning black and white
Can't you feel the heat, the night was always blind

See you flying on the wings of time
Every single minute will change one's mind
The storm is rising if we hold on to
Keepin' on flying will bring me back to you

[Words & Music : O. Scheer, G. Naschke]

8. Can't You Feel It

I say there's no tomorrow
There will be danger everyday
Money increases sorrow
Sold out hearts to buy a little light - on my way

You cannot live without my grace
You won't dare to claim with your heart

Can't you feel it
Do you know what's on my mind - A devil inside
Can't you see me
I am always at your side - Watch out for the light

Can't you hear me
Solitary voices from behind - Deep inside
Can't you feel me
I 'm already in your mind

You see me on your TV
My voice is always in your head
You'll never really see me
My lies are drivin' you insane, oh yeah

Shadows fallin' down on you
I see you there, no claim anywhere

I'm your Jesus lovin' intermedial saviour

[Words & Music : O. Scheer, G. Naschke, S. Lagleder, R. Müller, M. Mehl]

9. Heartbeat's Draggin'

Do you think that you have found the right way
In working 9 to 5 everyday

Have you ever seen the end of the light
Never ever dreamin'

Just before the night is calling
Freedom comes back into life, just right now

I stop waiting
My heartbeat's dragging in time
New life should be more than a lie
I can't wait no more while
The time has come to say our goodbye

Do you know what the Monday-parties can do
What does living without Fridays mean to you
Remember old school days, enjoy the same way
Whole day dreamin'

From the time the day is dawning
Freedom comes back into life, it's over

Feel the life
Wake up
Come on, get up
It's not too late
Take the chance

[Words & Music : O. Scheer, G. Naschke]

10. Media Cowboy

Ridin' on the highway
On my route 64
Every single minute
I can't take no hurt anymore

I gotta stand right here in the fire
Cold as ice with that gun in my hands
Far away from the enemy's water
Just as hard as a man only understands

Always and forever on the run
I see that sign on the wall
Just got to walk through that door
With a bullet and a gun
Always and forever on the run
I see that sign on the wall
Just got to walk through that door
Reaching for a higher level again

Ridin' on the highway
Back in real life again
Nobody here to remind me
Of the needs, I always pretend

But I can't see myself in the mirror
I'm afraid of these hurts they can do
I fear that street life, that punch, can't get it out of my head
I see my life passing by as only waterloos

I'm just a media cowboy
Nothing's too strong to make me stay
My challenge of tomorrow
Is twice as much as I'll reach today

[Words & Music : M. Mehl, O. Scheer, G. Naschke]

11. A Day For Revolution

I face another hopeless evening
Travellin' through the shadows of my mind
Remote control, the television's screamin'
Listen to the voices from behind

Try to understand their hidden meaning
I keep my visions to myself

We warned you of destruction
Our world is going down
And nothing's left
And no one's here but me

My mind is tortured by illusions
Pictures rise and fall before my eyes

Try to understand their hidden meaning
I keep my visions to myself

We warned you of destruction
Our world is going down
We warned you of destruction
Our world is going down
And nothing's left
And no one's here but me
There's no one here but me

This could be a day for revolution
See things from a different point of view
(You might) lose control
But you won't lose your personality
Nothing is as steady as the change
Prepare yourself

Can't stand another restless evening with myself
Runnin' from the spectores of the past
Drizzling rain the neon lights are screamin'
Memories will capture me at last

[Words & Music : S. Lagleder]

12. The Rain Is Gone

Twilight is crawling into the streets
The sky is getting bright
Spots of fallen rain playing looking glass
The fragile witnesses of rainy nights

When city-lights are fading out
A new morning is fading in
Just another day to fight the fight
Means another chance to win

The rain is gone
The rain is gone

They leave their houses as work's to be finished
Some go to bed as the daily nightshift is done
Some girls stand up interrupting their job
Bad and sad hide behind golden rays of the sun

Poor prospects are suddenly promising
Missing links are gonna be found
Sunlight enables people to see
And shades tormenting thoughts

[Words : T. Willig , Music : A. Day]
