2. Leverage

I've carried a weight a very long time
like a black stone, a hopeless crime
Past the fields, past the towns
I've measured hills and dales
Up and down

If I rest I am sure you are there waiting
for my mind to break down
and your soul to take control

I am here, I'm not going down
I will carry on to do what I must do
To see the truth behind your whispering lies
I am not yours to take down

I covered my face in the darkest night
Changed my name and foolish hopes
You are still lingering here in every thought
Still myself and still yours

If I rest I am sure you are there waiting
for my mind to break down
and your soul to take control

I am here, I'm not going down
I will carry on to do what I must do
To see the truth behind your whispering lies
I am not yours to take down

Someday I'll turn my head around
and I'll look you straight in the eye
You are all I fear for you are all I love,
my decay.

Here, I'm not going down
I will carry on to do what I must do
To see the truth behind your whispering lies
I am not yours to take down

Here, I'm not going down
I will carry on, to do what I must do
To see the truth behind your lies
I'm not yours!

3. Parting

There's no use in weeping,
Though we are condemned to part:
There's such a thing as keeping
A remembrance in one's heart:

There's such a thing as dwelling
On the thought ourselves have nurs'd,
And with scorn and courage telling
The world to do its worst.

We'll not let its follies grieve us,
We'll just take them as they come;
And then every day will leave us
A merry laugh for home.

When we've left each friend and brother,
When we're parted wide and far,
We will think of one another,
As even better than we are.
Wide and far

Every glorious sight above us,
Every pleasant sight beneath,
We'll connect with those that love us,
Whom we truly love till death !

We can burst the bonds which chain us,
Which cold human hands have wrought,
And where none shall dare restrain us
We can meet again, in thought.

When we've left each friend and brother,
When we're parted wide and far,
We will think of one another,
As even better than we are.

When we've left each friend and brother,
When we're parted wide and far,
We will think of one another,
As even better than we are.

4. Voices In My Head

All the different, noisy, loud and harsh
Voices in my head, they follow me, to break me down
Oh I can't resist a single one, tempting me to stay, to see,
To give and I obey

When I change my mind
They are holding on to me and
Pushing me into water,
Cold and dark and beautiful
I am not alone,
They are with me in my time of need,
In me

Quiet is the tempting sea and beautiful
Her dark and cold embrace
Peacefully I breathe the need to be with her
And taste her grace
Quiet is the tempting sea and beautiful
Her dark and cold embrace
Peacefully I breathe the need to be with her
And taste her grace

First I thought that I might waste my life
Listening to the voices in my head I don't resist.
But with every day I know there is
Something more behind each wasted life
So I obey.

When I change my mind
They are holding on to me and
Pushing me into water,
Cold and dark and beautiful
I am not alone,
They are with me in my time of need,
In me

Quiet is the tempting sea and beautiful
Her dark and cold embrace
Peacefully I breathe the need to be with her
And taste her grace
Quiet is the tempting sea and beautiful
Her dark and cold embrace
Peacefully I breathe the need to be with her
And taste her grace

5. The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made, has made all the difference.

Oh, I, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
Shall I come back?

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made, has made all the difference.

6. White Lilly

You left in the fall when all the leaves decay
And I didn't know...

The night, the dark, the moonlight in your burning eyes
And now you're back to haunt my soul, to take my will
You are the one who never fears a broken mind
Your hands can touch the innocence in me,
and tear it all apart so I am free.

There was a time and you were near to me
Your hand, my face in perfect enmity
And I grow a precious white lily
for every moment I treasured so dearly

We play a game that I am not allowed to win
You role the dice and game away my pride

There was a time and you were near to me
Your hand, my face in perfect enmity
And I grow a precious white lily
for every moment I treasured so dearly on your grave.

Lowland, black trees no chance to hide my tortured soul.
I placed my lips like roses on your snow-white skin
My strength in vain for you'll be all I ever aim:
Your hands can touch the innocence in me.

There was a time and you were near to me
Your hand, my face in perfect enmity
And I grow a precious white lily
for every moment I treasured so dearly

[Bridge:]
There're shadows on the wall. How dare you to come back.
When you left you went so far, so far... How can I follow?

7. Aus Der Tiefe

Weiter immer weiter,
durch die Nacht, den Tag,
die Zeit bleibt niemals stehn
Was ist muss jetzt vergehen
Niemals und für immer
sind wir eins in diesem Raum der Nüchternheit
Wir bestimmen über Freude und Leid

Drum lass mich gehn,
ich bin schon nicht mehr frei
von Schuld werd ich in dieser Welt bestehen

Einen gibt es immer
der es hat aber nicht teilt und nicht versteht
was ist muss jetzt vergehen
Dieser oder jener
hat die Macht alles zu sein was er begehrt
er allein weiß was er schenkt
und auch was er verwehrt

Drum lass mich gehn,
ich bin schon nicht mehr frei
von Schuld werd ich in dieser Welt bestehen

Sag, wie weit kannst du noch gehn?
Gibst du erst auf wenn du nicht mehr stehst?
Und wenn du rufst aus tiefster Tiefe
wer kann dich hörn, dein Flehen, dein Bitten
wer sieht dir ins Gesicht?

Drum lass mich gehn,
ich bin schon nicht mehr frei
von Schuld muss ich bestehn
in dieser Welt ganz ohne Ziel
Ist es zu viel verlangt
nicht mehr zu sehn?

8. Wenn Die Engel Fallen

Wärst Du hier auch wenn die Sterne von uns gehen
Und jene Funken nur im Schweigen überleben
Wärst Du hier auch wenn der Regen uns vergisst
Und die Erinnerung im Sand verloren ist

Singst Du mir noch die Melodie
Lieder über Tag und Nacht
Eine Melodeipoesie
Und mir sagst

Wenn die Engel fallen bin ich hier
Steh mit Tat und Wort hier bei Dir
Bis zum letzten Ort folg ich Dir
Ich bin hier- hier bei dir

Blieb der Regenbogen Schattenfantasie
Ein jeder Morgen bloß ein Hauch von Ironie
Weck mich auf wenn ich vor bösen Träumen flieh
Und Nichts mehr blieb (nichts mehr blieb) …… 2stimmig

Singst Du mir noch die Melodie
Lieder über Tag und Nacht
Eine Melodeipoesie
Und mir sagst

Wenn die Engel fallen bin ich hier
Steh mit Tat und Wort hier bei Dir
Bis zum letzten Ort folg ich Dir
Ich bin hier- hier bei dir

(Na na na na….)

Und brechen unsre Schilde
so stürmisch wie das Meer
doch treu unsrem Bunde
So gleich legendär
Wir sprengen all die Grenzen
Als wenn dort nichts wär
Und so stehn wir hier
Und so stehn wir hier

Wenn die Engel fallen bin ich hier
Steh mit Tat und Wort hier bei Dir
Bis zum letzten Ort folg ich Dir
Ich bin hier- hier bei dir

Wenn die Engel fallen bin ich hier
Steh mit Tat und Wort hier bei Dir
Bis zum letzten Ort folg ich Dir
Ich bin hier- hier bei dir

9. Side By Side

As we walked side by side
I saw the wind in your hair
As it stroked your skin
I knew of your despair

Darling, why are you sad?
When I am near
Is it my fault that you shed those tears?

As we walked side by side
You took my hand
But your touch,
I couldn't feel,

So I turned my head around
To see your eyes,
They were grey, they looked through me
In a world so fey, (my dear)

Near and far, colorful but pale,
beautiful with sin, never to be seen
We're divided, we are standing on opponent sides
You complete me, you delete me
And in you I hide

As I lay by your side,
I felt your heart
Beating in line with mine
As I lay by your side – by your side, dear

I said I needed you
You just looked into my eyes,
Your voice was in disguise:

“Let us walk side by side,
I'll hold your hand,
I am here with you, (my dear)

Near and far, colorful but pale,
beautiful with sin, never to be seen
We're divided, we are standing on opponent sides
You complete me, you delete me
And in you I hide

10. Repentance

Sleep now in the fire
it's burning high, it's stoking hopes and fears
Sleep now in the fire
you lit for yourself
Call on me, little darling
and I will wake you up from this dream

So, at last, we will cross
our souls will meet
When the seas will run dry
and the lands will die
We are children in time
we grow old each day
Repentance is a path
That we can not walk for long, my dear

For seven days and nights
I have watched you sleeping tight
Come with me and I will show you how to choose a side

So, at last, we will cross
our souls will meet
When the seas will run dry
and the lands will die
We are children in time
we grow old each day
Repentance is a path
That we can not walk, my dear

Ease your mind in the wind
It's on your side, it's like the truest friend
It is telling you a tale
Of a place so beautiful
Let it be your guidance
And it will wake you up from this dream

So, at last, we will cross
our souls will meet
When the seas will run dry
and the lands will die
We are children in time
we grow old each day
Repentance is a path
That we can not walk for long

And at last we will meet in your dreams

11. Everything Is Coming Up Roses

[Digipack Bonus Track]

You don't believe me
I can tell it by your eyes

There's a kind of magic to be
had from your lies.
I used to say that today
is like tomorrow

Don't sell it short for truth.
I should have known
I should have known
should have known how

I should have known
I should have known by now
but now
Everything is coming up roses
everything is coming up roses.

You don't understand it
I can tell it by your smile

There's a kind of freedom to
be had from your lies.
I always said that today
is like tomorrow

Don't sell it short for truth.

I should have known
I should have known
should have known how

Everything is coming up roses
everything is coming up
coming up
Everything is coming up roses

12. Star Of County Down

[Digipack Bonus Track]

Near Banbridge town, in the County Down
One morning last July
From a boreen green came a sweet colleen
And she smiled as she passed me by.

She looked so sweet from her two bare feet
To the sheen of her nut-brown hair
Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself
oh, for see I was really there

From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the fair colleen
That I met in the County Down.

As she onward sped sure I scratched my head
And I looked with a feeling rare
And I says, says I, to a passerby
"Who's the maid with the nut-brown hair?"

He smiled at me, and he says, says he,
"That's the gem of Ireland's crown.
Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann
She's the star of the County Down."

From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the fair Colleen
That I met in the County Down.

At the Harvest fair she'll be surely there
And I'll dress in my Sunday clothes
With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked right
Forn a smile from my nut-brown rose.

No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke
Till my plough turns rust-colored brown
Till a smiling bride by my own fireside
Sits the star of the County Down.

From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the fair colleen
That I met in the County Down.
