EDGE OF THORNS LYRICS

1. Masquerading Of The Wicked

[Music: Edge of Thorns]
[Lyrics: D. Schmitt]

Deep dark eyes from hell
It is just the devil in disguise who’s coming closer
He’s gonna wash your dreams away
And turns your thoughts in deepest grey

Watch out! Watch out!
Watch always behind you
It’s the masquerading of the wicked

Illusions of a perfect world
That man control seems so absurd
Why can’t we live as one?
Don’t be a slave
Don’t shovel your own grave
Raise your voice
Nothing is gone

Watch out! Watch out!
Watch always behind you
It’s the masquerading of the wicked

Embrace the truth inside of you
Tell what must be told
Struggle for humanity
If not! You’re damned to live deep down in hell

Imprisoned or free
Your thoughts are your property
Make your choice now and you will see
The devil is a loser
You’re stronger than he’ll ever be

Watch out! Watch out!
Watch always behind you
It’s the masquerading of the wicked

Watch out! Watch out!
Watch always behind you
It’s the masquerading of the wicked

2. The Reaper

[Music: Brixius & Edge of Thorns]
[Lyrics: D. Schmitt]

Down, down, down, you feel so down
Your time is over
Years passed by, you’re wondering why
Why you grew older

In the end
The reaper takes us all
A killing kind of hope
A killing kind of sorrow

Pray, just pray, my friend
The reaper’s gonna get you
You can’t run away
Just stay and say “good-bye”
With a smile today

In the end
The reaper takes us all
A killing kind of hope
A killing kind of sorrow

Tell me it’s not true
Tell me it’s not true
A liar, a trickster, a killing crew
A villain, a sinner will never see the blue
Never!

In the end
The reaper takes us all
A killing kind of hope
A killing kind of sorrow

3. Hungry Eyes

[Music: Brixius & Edge of Thorns]
[Lyrics: D. Schmitt]

Misery is torturing me
Moulded to create a new world
Hypocritical is what I am
A killing machine made by man
Now darkness is calling me
Driving me into insanity
The sunlight I’ll never see again
I’m made to die by my own hand

Hungry eyes
The wolves will take you all
Tonight you’re gonna fall
You’re bleeding

Always had a vision
Of a world so peaceful and free
But my mind wasn’t strong enough
Now I bleed
Captures in a cage
Feeded day by day with rage
Changes destroy my soul
Please, break the dawn away

Hungry eyes
The wolves will take you all
Tonight you’re gonna fall
You’re bleeding

Hungry eyes
The wolves will take you all
Tonight you’re gonna fall
You’re bleeding

4. Bleeding Hearts

[Music: Edge of Thorns]
[Lyrics: D. Schmitt]

You smashed my heart to pieces
My heart that bled for you
You’ve found another soul
Your feelings were son untrue
Years after year I lived
With that sorrow in my neck
Now you crawl to me again
But there’s turning back

Come a little bit closer now
And feel my pan
Our love won’t rise again
Not again

You tried to kiss me
Tried to touch me
Tried to make me feel
But time healed my wounds
My feelings turned to steel
I’m not a puppet on a string
No more tears I cry
I hope for every single lie
A thousand times you’re gonna die

Come a little bit closer now
And feel my pan
Our love won’t rise again
Not again

Come a little bit closer now
And feel my pan
Our love won’t rise again
Not again
Not again – Not again
Not again

5. Can You Hear Them

[Lyrics: D. Schmitt]

Who said you must go to war?
Who said you must kill to feel free?
Your mind is yours
Your thoughts are yours
So don’t beg for mercy
Hell’s avengers are near
Can you hear them?

6. Shrouded

[Music: Edge of Thorns]
[Lyrics: D. Schmitt]

Touch the rainbow
Touch the rainbow
My fallen brother
My fallen brother
My spirit is always on your way

You’re in a place now
You’re in a place now
Inside infinity
Infinity
But all your voices will be heard
Desperation, destination, lies

Remember, remember
You didn’t live in vain, oh
You were the bringer of the golden age
We say forever, forever
We’re standing all together
United we are fighting for the golden age

We mourned many nights
Our thoughts seemed so unclear
Shrouded in a mist of darkness
Our life’s filled up with fear
Only freedom gives us power
And if they don’t agree
We will fight until the end
Because our souls are not for free

Remember, remember
You didn’t live in vain, oh
You were the bringer of the golden age
We say forever, forever
We’re standing all together
United we are fighting for the golden age

7. Turning Wheels

[Music: Edge of Thorns]
[Lyrics: D. Schmitt & O. Baumann]

Burning down the highway
Riding like the wind
The motorbreath right under me
There is no place where I wanna stay
Rocklands is where I’m gonna die

Fuel, steam, exhaust and heat
Adrenalin is what I need
Speed, dolls, beer and Rock ‘n’ Roll
Like a hungry wolf I howl
My heart explodes inside a fiery rain
When I’m back on the streets
When I’m riding again

Turning wheels
We burn the night away
Turning wheels
We turn the night into day
We rock

My wheels are turning on and on
They give me power, make me strong
There’s no place I wanna stay
Freedom is my prey
My heart explodes inside a fiery rain
When I’m back on the streets
When I’m riding again

Turning wheels
We burn the night away
Turning wheels
We turn the night into day
We rock
Turning wheels
We burn the night away
Turning wheels
We turn the night into day
We rock

8. Captured

[Music: Edge of Thorns]
[Lyrics: D. Schmitt & O. Baumann]

The morning sun awakes the night
A touch of light blesses the sleeping ones
Once there’ve been a golden place
A monument for human race

I stood alone when morning came
They came to take away all life
They promised that we’re free at last
And turned this place into a grave

The night returns, day by day
A night of suffering
There’s no way out, no lightened way
Captured in a cage

They call their home, “Home of the Brave”
They praise their land, “Land of the Free”
They’re destined to enslave all man
Until one day their system fails

The night returns, day by day
A night of suffering
There’s no way out, no lightened way
Captured in a cage

The night returns, day by day
A night of suffering
There’s no way out, no lightened way
Captured in a cage

9. Vagrant

[Music: Edge of Thorns]
[Lyrics: D. Schmitt]

We are one forever
Staying strong together
We are living on
The edge of thorns
Our love is never ending
You’re the living dream of my yearnings
For you I was made to be

Our youth is never ending
Our life’s forever in our hands
I tell you we are never aging
We will always be vagrant

Ray of hope, ray of hope, of my lifetime
Our feelings are never ending
Combine with me and we fly to the eternal bay
Ray of hope, ray of hope, of my lifetime
Not even death can share us
We will live forever free

Our youth is never ending
Our life’s forever in our hands
I tell you we are never aging
We will always be vagrant
Through space and time we’re flying
Our life’s forever in our hands
Our dreams are never dying
We will always be vagrant

Our youth is never ending
Our life’s forever in our hands
I tell you we are never aging
We will always be vagrant

We stay together in a vanishing light
Holding us deep, holding us tight
We don’t believe in the end of our dream

10. Beyond Horizons

[Music: Edge of Thorns]
[Lyrics: D. Schmitt]

Redeem me, release me
From the children of the night
They’re crawling, they’re calling me
In a mental fight
I saw the light hid by the dawn
A miraculous one
If it fulfills my wish
I’ll forever gone

I want to live beyond deepest horizons
An unknown place where life never ends

Redeem me, release me
From the children of the night
They’re crawling, they’re calling me
In a mental fight
I saw the light hid by the dawn
A miraculous one
If it fulfills my wish
I’ll forever gone

I want to live beyond deepest horizons
An unknown place where life never ends

I want to live beyond deepest horizons
An unknown place where life never ends

11. Chase Away The Night

[Music: Brixius & Edge of Thorns]
[Lyrics: D. Schmitt]

Falling inside infinity
Beyond space and time
Beyond every idea
Raging through the endless
Universe of death

Screaming but you’re not heard
Confused, alone, speechless, fearful
Worshipped by stars and coldness
On a journey to the end

Enjoy your life
Death can wait
Live your dreams
It’s not too late
Chase away the night by the day
Walk your own way

12. Life

[Music & lyrics: D. Schmitt]

When I breathe I get strength
When I part with breath
I have to give up myself
So I change between
Power and weakness
Between to raise and to fall
Between to take and to give
And learn how to live
