EDGUY LYRICS

1. Sabre & Torch

Are you the one who failed to listen to what the pundits say?
Don't hesitate to phrase desire
You fail to exercise prudence and passivity,
And you can't prove the tide, no!

We bid you welcome to a pageant of anomaly, we deliver dissaray
You fail to tell perception from reality,
But what's the difference anyway?

The devil you don't know sure ain't worn out,
Pick your poison with sabre and torch

Out the dark into the fire below
Out the dark into the fire below
Drawn to the light

You see that everyone's the only and the chosen one
A single drift in the flow!
In search of light they would approve to sacrifice the sun
And say: "it's just the way thing's go"

The sabre in one hand, the torch in the other.
Sharpen your wits!
At the end of their way

Out the dark into the fire below
Out the dark into the fire below
Drawn to the light

2. Space Police

[Music & lyrics: Sammet]

An ocean of stars gleaming like diamonds
How many times have we wondered what lies behind
And how do you wish to make explorations
And travel through space and time
To the crest of forever

Shoot up to life out there what will it be like?
And if we're much faster than light maybe I can see
What the shine of my ego looks like from a distance
And what do they know about me in faraway solar systems?

Oh I dive in zero gravity
A glance at the All

We're riding out, pass by the moon
Bird's eye view on the universe
We're all about breaking the rules
"Freeze!" goes the space police

"You're all about to make a fool of yourself"
Goes the space police
Cause you're about to negate their rules
They're the space police

Your visions caught speeding
By free spirits that you recognize by the look
Spacetrotting dissident freedom police
Contrarians by the book
Freedom and wisdom they guard from outside
Stars and infinity shaking their heads at the force
Into the black hole

Oh what looked like zero gravity
Is just a gelatinous mass

We're riding out, pass by the moon
Bird's eye view on the universe
We're all about breaking the rules
"Freeze!" goes the space police

"You're all about to make a fool of yourself"
Goes the space police
Cause you're about to negate their rules
Watch out for the space police

Space police
Get me back on the straight and narrow
Space police
Law and order at the border to infinity
Space Police

Aaaaaah
Aaaaaah
Ahhaaahaaahaaaa Aaaaahaaahaaaahaaaahhaaa
Aaaahaaaa hahahaha aaaah aaaahahaaaaaa
Aaaahaaahaaa aahaaaaaaa

We're riding out, pass by the moon
Bird's eye view on the universe
We're all about breaking the rules
"Freeze!" goes the space police

"You're all about to make a fool of yourself"
Goes the space police
Cause you're about to negate their rules
Watch out for the space police

We're riding out, pass by the moon
Bird's eye view on the universe
We're all about breaking the rules
"FREEZE!!! - SPACE POLICE!!!"

3. Defenders Of The Crown

[Music & lyrics: Sammet]

Seven seas crossed seven times at least
Back and forth we sailed to proselytize
We'll drag you over
A better world is waiting
At the end of what we're saying
Never failed to fertilize from Perth to Dover

Here we go:
Countless childhood dreams
Flaunted for the world to see
What a show!
Go where no man's been before
Yet we're charging open doors

We're defenders of the crown
We're defenders of the crown
We're defenders of the crown
We're defenders of the crown

Have you heard the last words
Of the fallen-by-the-waysides
Such as "don't you ever leave the beaten track!"
A dirty job: it's Marshall arts
It's wicked through and through like me and you
Just another glass and then: Attack!

Here we go...

Here we go:
Countless childhood dreams
Flaunted for the world to see
What a show!
Go where no man's been before
Yet we're charging open doors

We're defenders of the crown
Were defenders of the crown
We're defenders of the crown…
And we also eat monsters!

[Solo]

[Master of ceremonies:] Whoa oh oh hoe oh hohoe?
[Voices of the damned:] Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh!
[Moc:] Whoa ho ho hoe oh hohoe?
[Votd:] Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh!!
[Moc:] Whoa oh hoe oh oh oh oh hohoe?!?
[Votd:] Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!!!!
[Moc:] Whoa oh oh oh hoe hohoe????
[Votd:] Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!!!!!
[Moc:] Whoa oh oh oh hoe???!?
[Votd:] Whoa oh oh oh oh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh yeaaaaaaah!!!!

We're defenders of the crown
We're defenders of the crown
We're defenders of the crown
We're defenders of the crown

We're defenders of the crown
Of the crown the defenders we are too
We're defenders of the crown
Of the crown the defenders we are too

Hahahaha
We will eat you

4. Love Tyger

[Music & lyrics: Sammet]

"What a cheek of the gods"
I thought when I'd hit the ground
But now that I'm here anyway - terrestrial-bound

(I) gotta make the most of causing this stir
Condescent to save the world
And turn it upside down

I'll shake it till my kingdom come

They call me Love T-T-Tyger
I'm gonna save your soul - never mine
Love T-T-Tyger - I'm gonna save your soul
There may be a lot who don't wanna be saved
I'm gonna save them anyway
Tonight the love tyger's gonna bite you tonight

Tobi or not to be! Motown-god, just in white
Evel Kneevil of Rock just without evil bike

I would break my nose to make a stir
Break a rib to save the world from choreography

I say a lot I must not say
And yet I get paid quite okay

They call me Love T-T-Tyger
I'm gonna save your soul - never mine
Love T-T-Tyger - I'm gonna save your soul
There may be a lot who don't wanna be saved
I'm gonna save them anyway
Tonight the love tyger's gonna strike tonight

[Solo]

Call me Love T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-Tyger
I'm gonna save your soul - never mine
Love T-T-Tyger - I'm gonna save your soul
There may be a lot who don't wanna be saved
I'm gonna save them anyway
Tonight I'm gonna purr and scratch and bite you tonight

T-T-T-Tyger
AT-T-T-T-T-tack of the T-T-T-T-Tyger

5. The Realms Of Baba Yaga

[Music & lyrics: Sammet]

You're wide-awake
Or is it a trick of the light?
You've been here before
But this is the night

Cries of temptation
You're content to lose your way
Jolly, what a jolly piece of folly and no way to defy

You can't wait to see what mortals they dare
Only to speak about in whispers of the dark

You're on the way that anxious have lost
Threatened by sanity
Reason laughs with vanity

Fiery moon in the sky
You can't wait to face it
Your heart is racing

Fiery moon paints the sky
You've entered the realms
You've entered the realms of Baba Yaga
You've entered the realms of Baba Yaga

Razzle-dazzle
Mortar and pestle
Will you stand the ferocious look?
Deafened by the yelling
From a chicken legged dwelling
Frightening and earthy to those who ain't worthy

They won't stand the madness
And the ambiguity of her mind
Unravel the mystery of you will be history
You will be wined and especially dined

You can't wait to see what mortals they dare
Only to speak about in whispers of the dark

You're on the way that anxious have lost
Threatened by sanity
Reason laughs with vanity

Fiery moon in the sky
You can't wait to face it
Your heart is racing

Fiery moon paints the sky
You've entered the realms
You've entered the realms of Baba Yaga
The realms of Baba Yaga
Baba Yaga tells me:
Will I have to dine with you tonight?

[Solo]

What's this about for heaven's sake
You wanna turn but it's too late
Your will is morphing into mania

Hahahahahahahaha

This ain't no fantasy no more
Senses your commands ignore
Just like the spirits that you've cited

Baba Yaga
You've entered the realms of Baba Yaga
You've entered the realms of Baba Yaga
You've entered the realms of Baba Yaga
You've entered the realms of Baba Yaga Oh

Oh Baba Yaga
Oh Baba Yaga
Oh Baba Yaga
Oh Baba Yaga

6. Rock Me Amadeus

[originally by Falco]

[Music & lyrics by Rob & Ferdie Bolland]

Ooo rock me Amadeus
Rock me Amadeus...
Rock rock rock rock me Amadeus
Rock me all the time to the top.

Er war ein Punker
Und er lebte in der großen Stadt
Es war Wien, war Vienna
Wo er alles tat
Er hatte Schulden denn er trank
Doch ihn liebten alle Frauen
Und jede rief:
Come on and rock me Amadeus.

Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus Amadeus, oh oh oh Amadeus.

Er war Superstar
Er war populär
Er war so exaltiert
Because er hatte Flair
Er war ein Virtuose
War ein Rockidol
Und alles rief:
Come on and rock me Amadeus.

Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus Amadeus, oh oh oh Amadeus.

Come on and rock me Amadeus
Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus Amadeus, oh oh oh Amadeus.

Es war um 1780
Und es war in Wien
No plastic money anymore
Die Banken gegen ihn
Woher die Schulden kamen
War wohl jedermann bekannt
Er war ein Mann der Frauen
Frauen liebten seinen Punk.

Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus Amadeus, oh oh oh Amadeus.

Come and rock me Amadeus...

Baby baby do it to me rock me
Baby baby do it to me rock me
Baby baby do it to me rock me
Ja ja ja
Baby baby do it to me rock me
Baby baby do it to me rock me
Baby baby do it to me rock me.

Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus Amadeus, Amadeus
Amadeus Amadeus, oh oh oh Amadeus...

7. Do Me Like A Caveman

[Music: Ludwig & Sammet, lyrics: Sammet]

You´re letting go and try to fly away
To the slumberous voice of pouring rain
The inner agitation´s dancing in your head
Will it ever end?

You´re all alone with coloured memories
Ungiving hotel without company
The ringing in your brain it starts to fade away
Fade away

Are you insane?

Walls come down
And then a ghostly voice
It sets up crazy moans into the night

Time and time again...
And you don´t have a choice
But lie awake to verify

Did she really say
"Now do me! Do me like a caveman"?

It feels like no one´s ever there when you´re in need
And no one´s ever gonna try to believe
The unforbearing walls are living to let it through
Whispering ghostly - right to you

Walls come down
And then a ghostly voice
It sets up crazy moans into the night

Time and time again...
And you don´t have a choice
But lie awake to verify

Ground is shaking
The earth is quaking
And nobody´s here to testifly

Ghostly whispers in the night:
"Do me like a caveman!"

[Solo]

Walls come down
And then a ghostly voice
It sets up crazy moans into the night

Time and time again...
And you don´t have a choice
But lie awake to verify

Ground is shaking
The earth is quaking
And nobody´s here to testifly

Ghostly whispers in the night:
"Don´t waste time to hold tight
Like a caveman push inside!"

Ghostly whispers in the night:
"Don´t waste time and come inside
Like a caveman take a ride!"

8. Shadow Eaters

[Music: Ludwig & Sammet, lyrics: Sammet]

The planets are shaking their heads at the earth
Oh what has become of their sister in blue
Don't be deterred, agent provocateur
As you parade while you know someone's aiming at you

People's backstreet ways fall into place
Tokens to be found
They track down lies, antagonize the decoy

„Make your choice!“
They wanna make you raise your voice to fight for a change
It's always the same
And what if this life is feeling like a world of bliss to you
And you don't feel like going against the grain today

I belive
Will you ever see them in the blinding light
To defy defiance and swallow evil
Here come the shadow eaters
I believe although you shouldn't watch them without safety glasses
They strike at sunrise – Angel squad
Here come the shadow eaters

One hundred seventy five zillion
And three thousand eight hundred and twenty nine lives
In history approximately
Laid at the door of Him who never knew and if He did
I'm not quite sure that He would quite have agreed

Backstreet ways – into place!
Tokens to be found
Track down lies, antagonize the decoy

They chase down grief to wallow in and make believe
You ain't gonna win whatever way:
We're all gonna die
Mean and sly
And somewhere in between there's life they say
But if we're not made to overshadow black?

I believe
Will you ever see them in the blinding light
To defy defiance and conquer evil
Here come the shadow eaters
I believe you don't see 'em with or without safety glasses
They strike at sunrise – Angel battalion
Here come the shadow eaters

[Solo]

I believe
Don't think you'll ever see them with your naked eye
And they're tired of showing off on demand
They are shadow eaters
I believe although we never see them
Cause they fly from reason
Tiny but forceful
I tell you, hmm, those shadow eaters

9. Alone In Myself

[Music & lyrics: Sammet]

I'm trying hard to match the picture that you paint of me
You don't know how much I would give to really make you
See what I'm right here right now

I speak a word and then I feel like losing mother tongue
Aren't I grateless when you wanna make me feel
That I belong right here now

I'm alone in myself

There's many thoughts inside I whisper when I'm on my own
It may be strange but I can't phrase them right in front of you
Not right here, not right now

I'm walking down this lonesome lane and talk to dog and hope
That He'll be there to tell you all one day and let you know
What's inside me down here

I feel like this road that fades into the night
- Lit up by angels I fail to recognize -
Is paved with the words that I don't find

And I don't know my way
Got no sight of salvation
No matter how hard I pray I'm lost in translation
Ungrateful...
I run but I don't move
Alone in myself
Alone in myself

[Solo]

And I don't know my way
- I'm alone in myself
Got no sight of salvation
- No sight of salvation
No matter how hard I pray
- No matter how hard
I'm lost in translation

Ungrateful
I run but I don't move
Alone in myself
Alone in myself

I'm alone in myself
Alone in myself

10. The Eternal Wayfarer

[Music & lyrics: Sammet]

Back in the day I never had to choose my way without a clue
No need for a hand
Unaware that I was dancing on the edge but wasn't a due
Oh, serene's the sea behind me
Into the whirl of devil time

A gentle rocking
Then a crack in the cradle
You're asleep until you hit the ground
One for this road and another for after?
Someone tell me: what's yer „after“ all about?

From ease to the sky
Until the world gets in the way

Ring in the age: countdown to zero
Chasing the afterglow
The outcome is set as far as I know
Time and again the sundown it screams my name
But I try to run away

The gorge of the instant devours the future
To spit it out as a fading memory
Gimme the strenght to defy contradiction
When my mindset fails to let me see
Will I travel on and longing pave the road?

Ring in the age: countdown to zero
Chasing the afterglow
The outcome is set as far as I know
Is it the end or maybe the outset
Or just a stage of a whole that I can't survey
Time and again it's screaming my name

[Solo]

So you don't wanna see
You realize that your senses have come to the edge
And you don't trust a single one
Don't wanna turn your inside towards the sky
Are we afraid to catch a glimpse of truth tonight?

Could the heavens reveals
What's inside the afterglow?
Is this light just based on perception now?
Or do I refuse to perceive what is hard to ignore?
From ease through fire into afterglow...

And you don't wanna see
See that your eyes have come
To a point where you don't see why and where do you run
Will you turn your inside towards the sky
You're scared to death by what your heart may see tonight

Pictures of void burn in the afterglow
Purification or just a perception now?
Will refuse to feel what you can't ignore
From ease through fire into afterglow

I look up in search of forever and wonder
Trying to make out that day
That I had to give my inherent spiritual juvenility away and again:
Why is it made so difficult for us to read the signs that we
Have to read in order just to understand
Read so we can comprehend a trace of eternity

I look up in search of forever and wonder
Trying to make out that day
That I had to give my inherent spiritual juvenility away and again:
Why is it made so difficult for us to read the signs that we
Have to read in order just to understand
Read so we can comprehend a trace of eternity
Have to read in order just to understand
Read so we can comprehend a trace of eternity

Oh I feel like I'm to wander

I can't fathorn but I'm bound to journey on
Oh eternally I'll wander
I'm a spiritual eternal wayfarer, oh

I try to look as far as the eye can see
Past and beyond the dark painted wall, oh

Ring in the age: countdown to zero
Chasing the afterglow
The outcome is set as far as I know
Is it the end or maybe the outset
Or just a stage of a whole that I can't survey
Time and again it's screaming my name

11. England

[Music & lyrics: Sammet]

It's been a long time since I've been with you
You may be grey-green but matchless and wide
I wanted to sniff at every inch of you
Went to Birmingham New Street to take a ride

Over aqueducts on a suspiciously panting train
High on Diesel fumes I pondered on my way

I may like New York, Bavaria or Paris
But nothing compares to you, England
Cause England's got Steve Harris

England, I know
I may have explained it somewhere before
But I swear it wasn't my idea to contrive that silly way
OK, I've got to admit this was, uhm, an improper try of a joke
But it rhymed and talking humour:
You've got to know I'm just anosser German bloke

Who loves afternoon tea
And Bob Catley and Mr. Bean
Who loves to but miniature phone booths
And cute little snow globes raining snow
On a cute little queen

Mostly you're jolly
At times you're frustrated, England
Then rest assured:
I also think penalty shootouts...
...are highly overrated

Vienna has got Mozart
Chopin they had in Paris (kind of)
The Catholics got the Pope
England's got The Beatles
And eve more so:
England's got Steve Harris

[Solo]

England's got Steve Harris
And as if that was not enough for you:
England's got Bruce Dickinson
And on top of it the other ones...
...in Iron Maiden too, yes, it's true

Vienna's got the Mozart ball
The Frenchies they got Paris

In Rome they got the Pope
Who in turn they don't have in England
But England's got Steve Harris

I may like New York, Bavaria or Paris
But nothing compares to you, England
Cause you got the magic bullet
England's got Steve Harris

England: inventors of Def Leppard...
Shakespeare...
Indian food... Gary Lineker...
That bloke who did away with Braveheart
Et cetera... and so forth... good night

12. Aychim In Hysteria

[Music & lyrics: Sammet]

[Recorded by Harri von Bali for Harrikiri Sound Productions at Tonstudio 2000, Hilversum from April 1984 - September 1987.
The song tells the fictional story of someone who has this nightmare about receiving an immoral offer by a group of supposedly rich people who eventually turn out to be fake sheikhs.
The song is based on pure fiction, any resemblance to real FoH sound engineers called Aychim is purely coincidental.
Of course...]

You got an offer
That's what you told the masses in Swabia
For three million Deutschmarks
You don't mind if broken your ass is

If sheikhing is strong (and snake in is lo)
And bogus the money (promises wrong)
And sheikh is pretending
Looking a lot like the fraud on TV
That they keep hunting for

Aychim - don't you let sheikh in
Swabia quaking - burning and aching

Aychim Coaler on fire
Flames burning higher
Wait to let sheikh in - Aychim

Now we know the stranger turned out
'Nepper, Schlepper, Bauernfänger' no
Insolvency is near, uh babe
So you produce Drimal Vear

Keep touring with Edguy of waiting for
You Kamel a lot and never know why
You are grinded by AC, heed the advice
Next time when sheikh rings
Don't tell the Edguys

Never open, Aychim! Don't you let sheikh in
Swabia quaking - burning and aching

Aychim Coaler on fire
Flames burning higher
Wait to let sheikh in
King Kong On Fire

[Solo]

Aychim - Don't you let sheikh in
Swabia quaking - burning and aching

Aychim Coaler on fire
Flames burning higher
Wait to let sheikh in
King Kong On Fire
