GAMMA RAY LYRICS

1. Anywhere In The Galaxy

[Words & Music by Hansen]

Staring out the window
At places in the starlit horizon
I'm waiting in the darkness
For arrival
But the sands of my time are running low
Lost and stranded far away from home
Peeping through the window in the darkness - parted in our hearts
Glowing turning circles where we go - no, they won't let go, let go
Blind our souls with raging burning madness
Out in the heavens we're ready to fight
Too late to cry
The final conclusion is roaring inside
Too proud to die
Gaze at the stars, the glowing god of mars
Is shining for us, anywhere in the galaxy
Time is right for us to see,
the world will long for liberty
The fallen heroes calling me,
anywhere in the galaxy
Anywhere ... in the galaxy
Anywhere ... in the galaxy
And now our blood is boiling
on the edge of life
Where is the place for our survival
Up to the stars, we have come from the night
Too late to cry
The final conclusion is roaring inside
Too proud to die
Gaze at the stars, the glowing god of mars
Is shining for us, anywhere in the galaxy
Time is right for us to see,
the world will long for liberty
Fallen heroes calling me,
anywhere in the galaxy
Anywhere in the galaxy,
we will fight for our destiny
Anywhere in the galaxy,
we will always run free
Anywhere in the galaxy,
Anywhere in the galaxy

And now the story finally ends,
with no disgrace for our survival
Outrageous fury in my hands,
and turning circles turn no more
Too late to cry
Out in the heavens we're ready to fight
Too proud to die
the final conclusion is roaring inside
Gaze at the stars, the glowing god of mars
Is shining for us, anywhere in the galaxy
Time is right for us to see,
the world will long for liberty
Fallen heroes calling me,
anywhere in the galaxy
Anywhere in the galaxy
Anywhere in the galaxy

2. Razorblade Sigh

[Words & Music by Hansen]

Out of the valley of death,
the man turns his back
Stares up to the hills, his eyes burning red
He licks his palm, with brown dried blood
Turns, grinning teeth, up to his lord
The darkness of the night
turns bright at his cry,
So quiet but deadly
Burning deep within, and now he will begin
He cries out to his lord forevermore
It's the razorblade sigh,
shooting up to the sky
Blood on the wings, one of the kings
There's a burning within,
when the storm closes in
He is one of a kind, in the hands of time
Razorblade
His raging fire burns you with desire
As you're taken down into his gravity
He wants you now, into his masterplan
And he'll be taking you into his dignity
Tires are burning on the way through hell
Fallen angel set me free
Wheels are turning, take me far below
Holding out my hands in victory

It's the razorblade sigh,
shooting up to the sky
Blood on the wings, one of the kings
There's a burning within,
as the storm closes in
He is one of a kind, in the hands of time
Razorblade, Razorblade
Death angel is coming,
you see him ride across the land
Time in his hands
The darkness of the night
turns bright at his cry
It's burning deep within
He cries for more
As I awake,
at the end of the road there's a rainbow
Slowly he'll fade, the dawning of time
On the wings of the razor ...
As I awake,
at the end of the road there's a rainbow
Slowly he'll fade away, the dawning of time
On the wings of the razorblade

3. Send Me A Sign

[Words & Music by Richter]

Out of the dark
He came without a warning
The guarding light
I didn't see ...
On a storytellers night
He spoke his words of wisdom
The tales he told from far beyond
That no one understood
He had the gift of prophecy
He wove a web of mystery
A thousand lives shone gracious in his eyes
Send me a sign -
For too long you kept me waiting
Send me a sign - From the eternal skies
Send me a sign
Send me a sign
He disappeared
In the early haze of morning
And with him left his prophecies
They didn't care ...

All the years that passed away
He's locked inside my head
His tales became reality
The prophecies he said
He was the chosen one to see
His words will burn eternally
It hurts, that no one understands
Send me a sign -
For too long you kept me waiting
Send me a sign - From the eternal skies
Send me a sign
Send me a sign
He had the gift of prophecy
He gave a guarding light to me
I know, he set my spirit free
Send me a sign ... Send me a sign
Send me a sign -
For too long you kept me waiting
Send me a sign - To open their eyes
Send me a sign
Send me a sign
Send me a sign
Send me a sign

4. Strangers In The Night

[Words by Zimmermann/Hansen]
[Music by Zimmermann]

We lay our souls into your hands
and our freedom remains
We ride on wings of hope
and our star will rise again
Run before you die -
can't you hear the warning
No regrets tonight - now your end is coming
It's your sacrifice - to destroy your body
Now you pay the price -
raging fury lasts forever
Their mission is so glorious
Rising hope in all of us
There we stand united hand in hand
They come from a land far beyond
A million miles behind the sun
They come from nowhere brave inside
Strangers in the night

Time is running by - no more deadly spirals
Now we realize - pray for our survival
Eyes are shining glorious
Marching in victorious
There they stand united hand in hand
They come from a land far beyond
A million miles still riding on
They come from nowhere brave inside
Strangers in the night
They come for freedom, Come to fight
Come to save us all
We are one until we die, Waiting for the call
They come from a land far beyond
A million miles behind the sun
They come to lead us to survive
Strangers in the night
We lay our souls into your hands
and our freedom remains
We ride on wings of hope
and our star will rise again

5. Gardens Of The Sinner

[Words by Zimmermann/Hansen]
[Music by Zimmermann]

As the heat is rising, out there in the past
Fallen angels calling, they have come to last
They are coming out of the dark
Then the horsemen ride out,
everything grows cold
Now their armies march in,
out there from the underworld
I do not want my eyes to see,
I never wanted to believe
Take me to the gardens of the sinner,
Bury me and let me rest in peace
Now the time of truth has come for everyone
The fallen angel stands in victory
The final seal was broken,
it opened up the gates
For the dark avengers,
their anger kills the light and then ...
I do not want my eyes to see,
I never wanted to believe

Take me to the gardens of the sinner,
Bury me and let me rest in peace
Now the time of truth has come for everyone
The fallen angel stands in victory
As the seventh angel opened up the seal
His curse brought endless decease
And as the wind carried the deadly seed
to the minds of the doomed,
They were gone for the stage of hell
Take me to the gardens of the sinner,
Take me down and let me rest in peace
Now the time of truth has come for everyone
The fallen angel laughs and grins, now...
Take me to the gardens of the sinner,
Bury me and let me rest in peace
Celebrate the time of truth for everyone
The fallen angel stands in victory ...

6. Short As Hell

[Words & Music by Hansen]

So now we talk about destruction,
A human race that's left to die
Nobody ever will believe it
Until we face it eye to eye
Let's talk about hell
Our future shines in darkest colours,
You'll never change it, never will
Ain't nothing left now to believe in
And so we face the overkill
Hey mother mercy leave me be
Do you expect me now to cry
Time will wait for no one
Time is short as hell
Time, Time, Time, is short as hell
All is lost, into the underworld we fade
until our life is gone
count the cost,
then from the darkness wiped away
into the underworld we fade
where darkness awaits
Time will wait for no one
Time is short as hell, hell, hell
Time ...

7. It's A Sin

[Words & Music by Neil Francis Tennant/Chris Lowe]
[(C) EMI Virgin]

[80'S POP ROCKED BY gamma ray]

When I look back upon my life
It's always with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin

Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin

At school they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didn't quite succeed
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin

Father, forgive me, I tried not to do it
Turned over a new leaf, then tore right through it
Whatever you taught me, I didn't believe it
Father, you fought me, 'cause I didn't care
And I still don't understand

So I look back upon my life
Forever with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to - it's a sin

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

8. Heavy Metal Universe

[Words & Music by Hansen]

We're the masters of the wind
We're demons left in howl
We're the undefeated warriors
We have heard the call
We're the keepers and the leaders
Of the only thing we love
We're the saviours
and protectors from above
In our sky there is no limits
And masters we have none
Heavy Metal is the only one
'Cause it's a Heavy Metal universe
With a Heavy Metal sound
Masters of the thunder
Shake you to the ground
It's a Heavy Metal bomber
And it's never going down
Flying 'cross the universe
We're Heavy Metal bound
We're Heavy Metal bound
With a burning hot desire
Like a supersonic blast
We have come to show the world
That we have come to last
There ain't no way to stop us
And you'll never kill our pride
'Cause it's not only music
It's a chosen way of life
And our world has got no borders
And in union we all stand
'Cause Heavy Metal is our promised land
'Cause it's a Heavy Metal universe
With a Heavy Metal sound
Masters of the thunder
Shake you to the ground

It's a Heavy Metal bomber
And it's never going down
Flying 'cross the universe
We're Heavy Metal bound
We're Heavy Metal bound
See my hands held to the sky
Let me rock you 'til forever
Raise your voice we're soaring high
Swear allegiance now or never
Burning up we build a flame
As we speak the oath together
Metal is our way forever...
...way forevermore
Our world has got no borders
And in union we all stand
Heavy Metal is our promised land
It's a Heavy Metal universe
With a Heavy Metal sound
Masters of the thunder
Shake you to the ground
It's a Heavy Metal bomber
And it's never going down
Flying 'cross the universe
We're Heavy Metal bound
We're Heavy Metal bound

9. Wings Of Destiny

[WORDS & MUSIC BY Richter]

Do you remember the days
When living was meant to be free
Not looking for fortune,
not looking for fame
The beauty of life was the key
We lived as one to conquer the world
A thousand dreams to come true
We knew in the end we'll find
The meaning of life and the truth
Once proud and full of passion
we formed a better world
We fought against oppression
and wisdom was our sword
On the path of glory
we searched the rainbows end
Lives meant to share,
where's the sign that we'd sent?

On sad wings of destiny
We're kings without a throne
If you believe in unity
Believe, 'cause you're not alone
Sad wings of destiny
The haunting thoughts of pain
The world's a patient majesty, but believe
The time, the time will take its toll
Now it's the time for a change
The days of your childhood are gone
The fool and the wise man
will burn at the stake
Confusion remaining too long
Violence and hate I won't see anymore
The innocent victims of fate
The prophets have written
their words on the wall
Wake up before it's too late
On the path of glory
we searched the rainbows end
Lives meant to share,
where's the sign that we'd sent?
On sad wings of destiny
We're kings without a throne
If you believe in unity
Believe, 'cause you're not alone
Sad wings of destiny
The haunting thoughts of pain
The world's a patient majesty, but believe
Believe, if you won't change your mind
All will remain the same
And soon, we'll find a common end
On the path of glory
we'll search the rainbows end
Lives meant to share,
where's the sign that we'd sent?
On sad wings of destiny
We're kings without a throne
If you believe in unity
Believe, 'cause you're not alone
Sweet child of innocence
Are you drowning in your tears?
The time has come for you my friend
Don't hide from evil made by your own hands
Let us try to fly again
One day we'll rise again
On wings of hope to be free ...

10. Hand Of Fate

[Words by Hansen/Schlächter]
[Music by Schlächter]

Now... that all seems so quiet
And we all have survived
But after all
Still we fear
The hand of fate...tonight
Men on the mountain
From hell you came to destroy
The realm of our freedom
Endangered to fade in the void
Now they are back on the earth
Taking their wrath to our land
An ocean full of darkness awaits
We will resist, fight until the end
And down below the dark lord waits
To fight our souls with hate,
Our hearts with rage
10.000 dreams, for glory rise
Now they're awaiting
the hand of fate tonight
So we have gathered here
beyond the endless skies
And we are marching on and on
forever more
For the dark lord - he must fall
Out on the edge of the world
The wasted years are coming to an end
The oceans of evil shall fade
Master of doom - we're taking it back again
Deep in our hearts we hear
The call of the wild
Spirits of yesterday will fly away
10.000 dreams, for glory rise
Now they're awaiting
the hand of fate tonight
10.000 dreams, for glory rise
Now they're awaiting
the hand of fate tonight
10.000 dreams, and still we ride
Now we're awaiting
the hand of fate tonight

11. Armageddon

[Words & Music by Hansen]

Now all you sinners, this is the prophecy
The revelation of your own destiny
You had a dream once,
a dream that you have sold
And now my brothers,
annihilation is foretold
Will you remember ancient times,
when we rode across the air,
When the day of judgement comes
And when your world is gonna blow
Through your heart and take your soul
In the twilight of the sun
I believe there's no tomorrow
when we all will sink in sorrow
When the day of judgement finally comes
It's the end of the world as we know it
And it's only just begun
The eyes of the world are closin' forever
When the day of judgement will come
Won't you help me now
Now tell me mother earth
oh, what went wrong
In the heart of everyone
Do you remember how it had begun
In the desert in the twilight of the sun
All dead and gone
Can you heal me, I am not the only one
Can you feel me, I don't want to be undone
I'm everyone
Save me from this living hell
I don't wanna know another tale
Someone help me through this on the way
Hear me now
It's the end of the world as we know it
And it's only just begun
The eyes of the world are closin' forever
When the day of judgement will come
Won't you help me now

All gods creation is finally dead and gone
Our revelation, the day of judgement comes
Forevermore I stand alone
The final fury has begun,
when the day has come
Guardians of the monsters of the earth
Take our lives away
and you forever will be cursed
Keepers of the darkness in this world
We will not surrender to the evil of your birth
Hope will never die,
And the clear blue sunny sky
will ease the pain,
Guardians of the monsters of the earth
Lead us not into temptation
Save us from the revelations
I stand alone, I stand alone,
I stand alone, Inside my head
No one can hear, no one can hear,
no one can hear, my little word
Holy father, take me on your wings of love
I wish that I could be forever free, oh yeah
It's the end of the world as we know it
And it's only just begun
The eyes of the world are closin' forever
When the day of judgement has ...
End of the world as we know it
And it's only just begun
The eyes of the world are closin' forever
When the day of judgement HAS come
Won't you help me now

[Epilogue:]
Now all you sinners
This is the prophecy
the revelation of your own destiny
Sleep well and dream on
The dream that you have sold
And now my brothers,
this world is slowly getting cold
