1. Break The Seal

The past deleted. What's left are my mem-
ories. They threaten to vanish more and
more before being told the first time. So I will
try to escape out of my MENTAL RESERVATION
to record what happened. We lived in
peace 'till the day the earth burst open and a
dark appearing creature gave a crystal - key
to a little boy called Boris Jay. Boris was
taught by the creature how to use the key
and to...

...BREAK THE SEAL

It's the hour, the cypher for rebirth
A poisoned arrow is darted
Liberation, one hope against the dearth
Striving for help, but the factions started
The screams of pain - struggling in vain
To terminate over again

Look, man, how it's growing, this child
The chosen one
Listen, a raven cawing
Run wild, your time has come

Here, take the key
Open the gates of hell - Break the Seal
Fear, grant it, train people's mind
You'll make it real

Listen, how it's talking
Talk wild, going insane
Brave child, just keep on walking
You, child, who deals with the pain

Here, take the key
Open the gates of hell - Break the Seal
Fear, grant it, train people's mind
You'll make it real

Watch the red sunrise as the ground
Melts down
The final scene closely
See the final act more explicitly
Wait for the curtain to fall then follow it
To the rise

Read are all signs, trodden down the trails
The cryptograms of destruction
Last aggression this time unveils
On your way you got no obstructions

The screams of pain - struggling in vain
To terminate over again

Look, man, how it's growing, your child
The chosen one
Listen, a raven cawing
Run wild, your time has come

Here, take the key
Open the gates of hell - Break the Seal
Fear, grant it, train people's mind
You'll make it real

2. Upright Liar

Equipped with the instruments of evil and an
enermouse increase of power Boris returned
as a young man from the eternal fire. His
pollitical ambitions were immense. I listened
to his famous speech he held in front of
thousands of people on PLAZA DE PAX. I
did't want to believe what my eyes and my
ears hand to endure. People were celebrating
the...

...UPRIGHT LIAR

Human genius rules the world
Explores the depth and height
Enables us to use the word
To give us peace of mind

I'll need all strength, I'll fight against a demon
Who's leading us to deep disastrous down
Dressed in white his lips make folks believe him
He's the man to choose again to wear the nation's crown
At any time, at any place
Old spirits with old thoughts
Unstable crowd is mesmerized
Salutes an Upright

Liar
Arms in motion
Liar, merciless urge

Like a number on the tumbling dice
Not aware of where you'll lie
At the end you'll pay the highest price
Boundless blame will bare your name

Too many brains are stormed, their hearts are burning
Mind surrenders, passion strikes the truth
Words taste sweet as honey: Eat by learning!
I'm a lonely soul of doubts fearful of the news

Mind pollution
Phrases squeeze my ears
Rage escorts my tears

At any time, at any place
Old spirits with old thoughts
Unstable crowd is mesmerized
Salutes an Upright

Liar
Arms in motion
Liar, merciless urge

Like a number on the tumbling dice
Not aware of where you'll lie
At the end you'll pay the highest price
Boundless blame will bare your name

One's tongue in one's cheek
Praying words while the conscience sleeps
Mental dying all around
Bleating sheep the shepherd found

Big brother loves his siblings without mercy
He pretends to keep them snug and safe
But once a week on dreadful bloody thursday
You can hear the whip tormenting disobedient slaves

Mind pollution
Phrases squeeze my ears
Rage escorts my tears

At any time, at any place
Old spirits with old thoughts
Unstable crowd is mesmerized
Salutes an Upright

Liar
Arms in motion
Liar, merciless urge

Like a number on the tumbling dice
Not aware of where you'll lie
At the end you'll pay the highest price
Boundless blame will bare your name

3. After The Storm

Boris made his way. Nothing seemed able to
stop him. The situation became extreme. We
were at war 7 nations. Boris expanded
his territory to the double. It was a nuclear
inferno. And there was an unbearable silence
between two waves of an revenge - attack.
Hopes were blown away and our souls had
burned out. What was left...

...AFTER THE STORM

Can't you hear, can't you hear our moans, our crying?
Dark is here, the mothers grieve, their babies dying
Oh merciful Lord, forgive we kept our heads in the sand
Not to blame, beyond is where we'll apprehend

Out in the war it's hand to keep the faith
Knowing nobody's giving us true hopes

After the Storm we'd watch the new sunrise
But the sun is obscured in sight doesn't heave
After the Storm we'd wish him to arise
Again dispel the dark clouds, forgive and let live

So many questions not any answers has been told
Where should we go
How long we'll stay blind in this crystal world
Out in the war, how should we keep the faith
Knowing nothing gives us hope at all
And the blizzard going on... still...

After the Storm we'd watch the new sunrise
But the sun is obscured in sight doesn't heave
After the Storm we'd wish him to arise
Again dispel the dark clouds, forgive and let live

"I know that nothing gives me a ray of hope
But true is my regret - the tears under the iron vell..."

After the Storm we'd watch the new sunrise
But the sun is obscured in sight doesn't heave
After the Storm we'd wish him to arise
Again the dispel the dark clouds, forgive and let live

4. Your Infallible Smile

[In these days of horror my vital energy disappeared. Even my sister, who gave me strength 'til then, was not able to beware myself from my surrender, anymore. One day she left us to support a medical convoy on the way to zene-66. Four days she resisted the fallout. Then they brought her back. Now, in my darkest moments I try to remember our sunny days, Eileen, and I'll never forget your infallible smile.]

We believed time would relieve all pain
Took an oath to honor faith forever
A willow, witness of secrets when
Childhood's dreams and wishes were told

Not wasting thoughts on sorrows
We shared a joyful time

Eileen, I'm wrestling for answers
All right the wind sighs goodbye
Eileen, there's no more tomorrow
With your infallible smile
Nothing remains but my tears

You made me fell I could let a rainbow rise
At a cloud-darkened grey sky
You've been my laughter, my sadness, a tender touch
I perceive your still lasting scent

You walked the stairs to heaven
One way too much that day

Eileen, I'm wrestling for answers
All right the wind sighs goodbye
Eileen, there's no more tomorrow
With your infallible smile
Nothing remains but my tears

You walked the stairs to heaven
One way too much that day

Eileen, I'm wrestling for answers
All right the wind sighs goodbye
Eileen, there's no more tomorrow
With your infallible smile
Nothing remains but my tears

5. Conception Of A Cure

The war lasted a year. After 3 years of
regine Boris Jay was executed by his own
generals before capitulation was proclaimed.
3 ouarter of the planet were contaminated.
We had to live in the tunnels of subway -
system. In our system most of the popula-
tion suffered from mental diseases caused by
the war. And there was a special mashine
which promised allevation. Dubious help from
the Mental Healer with his...

6. Into A Brave Man's Mind

I could resist his offer. But I tried a few other
things instead. And one year later, when
evacuation started, the trip to St. Clinton
Island, 870 miles from home, was a double
trip to STONEDHENGE for me which should
last for years. Although I tried to forget about
the past with those things, 2 years later I
found myself sitting on a hill of Clinton
Island revealing my live. And I took a look...

...INTO A BRAVE MAN'S MIND

Dawning at the eve
The sun melts the horizon
Soft winds on their way
To follow the dawn

Listening to the quiet
I hear an inner voice:
Remember to seize the days
Wasteful passing by

Lost forever far behind a curtain
A life as wasted as laughter - entailed tears

Mystery is calling
A secrect world's around
Mystic constellation of vision and sounds
I'm standing calm beside myself
Soultaker

Speed me up! I'll be a thunder
Take me high! Hallowed rise
Speed me up! Don't mind the manner
Take me high! Tonight

Magic sings of devil's fateful nature
Don't follow dumb and blind
Magic signs of someone who astrays ya
Make up your smokescreened mind

Powerblast injection
My veins are overloaded
Body's last reaction
My mortal soul is sold
Skin as white as ivory
Soultaker

Brought me down! Now I remember
Stole my soul! Snowy white
Brought me down! I'm a sinner
Stole my soul! That night

Magic sings of devil's fateful nature
Don't follow dumb and blind
Magic signs of someone who astrays ya
Make up your smokescreened mind

In nomine patris et spiritus sancti
In nomine patris et spiritus sancti

Los non exiguum
Tempus habere
Geb multum perbere apparet

Ita est:
Lon accipimus bregem
Ditam, sed facimus

Now I live where angels fly
And guardians keep my honour
I watch the eath with cleared-up eyes
And have to stay forever
Left a life behind down under
Wasn't worth to live
Another chance, another time
I'd take it as a gift

Speed me up! I will remember
Take me high! Back in time
Speed me up! But my mind the manner
Take me back! Tonight

Magic sings of devil's fateful nature
Don't follow dumb and blind
Magic signs of someone who astray ya
Make up your smokescreened mind

7. Out Of Nowhere

Hundreds of thoughts were storming my
brain. The night head already spread out it's
cloth above the landscape. The willage of
Clinton Island with it's appreximately 200
inhabitance lays peacarful in the valley. Not
giving a hint to the terrible past of it's
inhabitance. Still I had not found a wife. And
once again I was captured by thoughts from
the hidden past right...

...OUT OF NOWHERE

Here I am at a standstill
No move I'm biding time
Desultoriness in my proceedings
Cought by her spell I'm coming

Out of Nowhere
May wounds be sutured without scars?
Out of Nowhere
Hatred to nurture?! So damned you are!

Still we live in the world
We're judged by the colour of skin
Plated with silver and gold
The radical changes in fits of spleen

And now more and more fed
With depressions backed
We're crying but nobody hears
Coming out!
Now I see I'm blind!

Out of Nowhere
Isn't the future termed by stars?
Out of Nowhere
Hatred to nuture?! So damned we are!!!

Die!

I remember... once I believed in God
But he left me in the lurch
Now I return, I build my own kingdom
I'll make your desires burn
And all the nightmares come true

Sweet lullabies

Darling, I've been held in your arms
Hear the truth, the freedom's bell
See this lie through the eyes of my hell

Here I am at a standstill, no move
Can't you see I'm crying out
There's no sun in the shadow of unrequited love
Caught by it's spell I'm raving mad
Keep the silence, I'll make it burn!

Out of Nowhere
May wounds be sutured without scars?
Out of Nowhere
Hatred to nurture?! So damned you are!

Out of Nowhere
Isn't the future termed by stars?
Out of Nowhere
Hatred to nurture?! So damned we are!

8. Hightmare

While years were passing by on the Island a
troop of childer was growing up, bare of
any experience of war and dictatorship. All in
all we lived in a peacarful and self-sufficient
society. Meanwhile I had become president
of our little nation. And Clinton Island was
our little kingdom. But one day all children
were spirit away. Dark clouds were handing
above there volcano at that time and it might
have been a sign of satanic mights. And at
one night during the rainy season some
strange creatures sleeped out of the volcano
down to the village. Like paralized and under
the influence of a strange might we all fol-
lowed them silently to were they had come
from, not knowing if that was just a terrible...

...NIGHTMARE

Welcome to your joyful plotted nightmare
Yeah, this cute horror-trip was booked for you
Don't dare to flee before this night
Has climbed it's gorgeous peak
Enjoy the games of shadow-mights
The growth of satan's seed

Coroner's dance
They've come to lead you to the dark
Coroner's dance
Your life is at stake
No chance to awake
Out of your Nightmare

One sperm caused your total incarnation
Millions let their life for you to live
Now tables turned the other way
Your body for a soul
Still caught in hell to be released
With your infernal fall

Coroner's dance
They've come to lead you to the dark
Coroner's dance
Your life is at stake
No chance to awake
Out of your Nightmare

So every time you close your eyes
Beware to fall asleep
Cause creatures from the other side
They gratify their greed

Coroner's dance
They've come to lead you to the dark
Coroner's dance
Your life is at stake
No chance to awake
Out of your Nightmare

1 and 2 we gonna come to you
3 and 4 we're knocking at your door
5 and 6 take your crucifix
7 and 8 we appear at night
9 and 10 we gonna meet you then

9. Rubberman

But it was no dream. Deep inside the volcano
a dreadful creature ruled ever all other crea-
tures. We were their slaves. Alo we had
found the lost children there. They were
krypt in cages until we had to prepare their
brains to meal for the creatures. I remem-
bered Boris Jay. There was not much differ-
ence between him and these creatures. One
day he was a braineater, too. One day I
was chosen to follow a special ritual in the
master's cave. The master, looking like an
awful rubber-monster, was incarmating one
of us to his fool. It was Albert Twostone,
who got the crystal-key this time and imme-
diatly he started to dance and sing to the
drumming of the...

...RUBBERMAN

Course: Straight ahead
There's nothing that can stop me now
Born again that's how I feel I'm on the run
I ride the wind, the height of the storm
I defy always changing form

Don't worry, stay cool
There ain't a rule

Rubberman
Body an soul
Rubberman
Play a role
Rubberman
Set the spirit free
Rubberman
You and me
We are a perfect team

I'm one of those
Who can be down but stuck out
Be what you are
No matter what they say but: BE IT !

Don't worry, stay cool
There ain't a rule

Rubberman
Body an soul
Rubberman
Play a role
Rubberman
Set the spirit free
Rubberman
You and me
We are a perfect team

Course: Straight ahead
There's nothing that can stop me now
Born again that's how I feel I'm on the run
I ride the wind, the height of the storm
I defy always changing form

Don't worry, stay cool
There ain't rule

Rubberman
Body an soul
Rubberman
Play a role
Rubberman
Set the spirit free
Rubberman
You and me
We are a perfect team

10. Wrong Lane Society

I made my decision to let nothing undone to
escape out of this hell. After several trials I
reached the top of the volcano one day,
living my people and some slaughtered
creatures behind. It took me 2 months until
my float ran ashere at a stony coast. I had
returned to civilisation. Cities were rebuilt
and the people had learned how to handle
the radioactive contamination. The society
did not change too much. Still there was
poor and rich, the difference between the
colors of skin and the money was rulling the
world again. Just the population in each city
had increased to an amount of 50 millions
because living in the outlands was not pos-
sible. I was one of over 6 millions unemployed
people in the city and the government had
still no idea to solve this problem. There was
an explosive mood under the troop of unem-
ployed people and most of them damned
this...

...WRONG LANE SOCIETY

Spend my life in misery
And stand it going on
But recently I got this dream
Lasting all night long

Woke up to my damned disaster
Expected nothing new
But someone there's been kidding me
He tidied up my room

No stink and no poisoned cockroach
No dust of ages
Either found my boots nor blue jeans
That's why I tried to escape

Living on the wrong lane
Welcome to the ball of pride and glory
Living on the wrong lane
Take what the mob gives to you
The mob gives to you

Walking through my strange dream
People stared at him
At first I didn't recognize
I showed my nude pin

I was called Mr. McDonnald
Relleased from by mess
Was treated like millionaires
When I reached downtown

Could buy me some silken clothes
No need to pay cash
Was invited to Hilton Hotel
Changes I could not explain

Living on the wrong lane
Welcome to the ball of pride and glory
Living on the wrong lane
Take what the mob gives to you
The mob gives to you

Folks I'm gonna tell you honestly I have this dream
Captured in a symphony of living easily
Enjoyed my life like it had been before I reached that realm
Boring situation if I'd become a rich fat man

No silken socks and no credit
No golden cages
Wanna live in my dirty chamber
Don't care if life's trash remains

Living on the wrong lane
Fuck off to the ball of pride and glory
Living on the wrong lane
Give what the snob's gossip needs

11. 20th Century Crusade

One year later I found a job at eddy's chip-
repair. The work was not bad and many peo-
ple brought whole data-consoles to our ser-
vice center. One day I recognized Albert
Twostone on the screen of a data-station I
was going to repair. Although I could not
understand what he was talking there was no
doubt that he was candidate of the next
election for governer. The new governer was
Albert and within a period of 3 month our
city lay under an embarge of all other cities.
He brought on a crisis which was accompa-
nied by his campaigne to selve this problem
with the weapon he had developed himself:
the quarks-streamer. It was a hot sunny day
when I started the engine of my small jet-
beat and Albert started his first quarks-
streamer to begin the last...

...20th CENTURY CRUSADE

The orange is peeled, rapped are the brains
Hopes are all lost
Apocaliptic: "Live and let die"
Love's dying first

Blessed is the power of death
The ultimate god and leader
Respectfully called: the best
Ruling their mind's fateful disease

Watch out - Lurking in the dark
Stay tuned - Set your controls and hark

Hell arised to demise it's legacy
No prayer to pray
Heaven waits, hesitates, looks for a better deal
Johnny - boy, a shepherd boy, and the lamb
Marked off the way
But the beast from the east obviliating them now
Broke the seventh seal

Upcoming fears, horror of cries
Kicking your ass
Approximate lie, nipped at it's rise
Don't cause a mess

Seer, or thing of evil, where does my fortune lie?

Watch out - Lurking in the dark
Stay tuned - Set your controls and hark

Hell arised to demise it's legacy
No prayer to pray
Heaven waits, hesitates, looks for a better deal
Johnny - boy, a shepherd boy, and the lamb
Marked off the way
But the beast from the east obviliating them now
Broke the seventh seal

Who made who
Who released the beast
Who breaks through
To fire first - danger
Born just to be lost

Cursing with joy spit out of hell
Agression and hate
Satanic forces are tolling the bells
Sealed is the fate

Blessed is the power of death
The ultimate god and leader
Respectfully called: the best
Ruling their mind's fateful disease

Watch out - Lurking in the dark
Stay tuned - Set your controls and hark

Hell arised to demise it's legacy
No prayer to pray
Heaven waits, hesitates, looks for a better deal
Johnny - boy, a shepherd boy, and the lamb
Marked off the way
But the beast from the east obviliating them now
Broke the seventh seal

There is not much to tell anymore. Clinton
Island lies under a dense stratum of clouds
wich did not change for month now. Down
from the cliff I watch the ocean. More or less
hopeful to see survivers one day. And at
some days it seems to me that God's face
breaks through the stratum of clouds and a
tear sliding on his cheek sets out to fill the
ocean.

[Neil Legweak]
