SEVENTH AVENUE LYRICS

1. Prolog

[Instrumental]

2. Tale Of Tales

Sometimes timeless taste out of time and space
We could tell you stories about some past of glories
You could have some fun with our music gun

We will journey with you show you another truth
Not always entertain - something for your brain
Not always fantasies - something to get on your knees
Tales of tales

Tales of tales, stories for tales
Tales of tales with different mails
Different questions, different answers
Into another world where you could see there
Candles on your way, lightning for everyday
Tales of tales

Open one page of tales
Empty mind with rage
We are not here to preach
And don't want to teach
Think about your way
Before you're blown away
Tales of tales

Coming to the seventh avenue
Push your head around
Take the book of tales and listen to the sound
That's what we have found
Come looking to the ground

For you and for me
There is a better place to be
You could take it if you want
You could leave it if you don't
But one day you will see
That's no land of fantasy
Tales of tales
Tales of tales

Tales of tales, stories for tales
Tales of tales with different mails
Different questions, different answers
Into another world where you could see there
Candles on your way, lightning for everyday
Tales of tales

Isn't it funny
But God don't need your money
He always wants your heart to give you a new start
The devil needs it as well
To go with it to hell

3. Heavens Tears

Raindrops falling on my head
I ask myself, did they want to fall
Or did they feel sad
Are they tears of heaven?

Raindrop you are a teardrop
I know, you know and God does too
Raindrop you are a teardrop
An angel cried for you too

Tears of heaven when angels cry
Heavens tears - I'll pray that they'll go by
Tears of heaven make me sad heavens tears
Angels always cry for you and me

Raindrop how do you feel?
Sad as the angels who cried you?
Raindrops - because of me?
Please forgive me, I pray

After many days of drought
You are a welcome friend
You refresh, give future and promises
More than most anyone sees

Raindrop you are a teardrop
I know, you know and God does too
Raindrop you are a teardrop
An angel cried for you too

4. Time

The sun caresses my skin
And the wind is telling me stories
Clouds draw seebes in my mind
We've never shared that before
I enjoy the time not to haste and not to run
I enjoy hours of peace and tranquillity
I hope you receive some too
Moments of awe and trust: are they for you?

Far away from the music the birds sing a song for me
Far from the loud city streets pounds the surf of the sea

Let's take the time to find ourselves
Each day, every hour of consuming joy
Let's take time to forgive each other
Let's take time to live

I want to free you from that everyday blues
Because you're you I know too well
I want to show you how colourful birds are
And I want to show you to laugh like a child

Lets take the time to hope and to laugh
And not just look at the time on our clock
In our days we can reach for the stars
Lets take the time to grow and to build

I'm not the peak of the masculine race
And yet I belong to a special breed
We've seen the world from different angles
We can find out the good and the bad

Let's take the time to find ourselves
Each day, every hour of consuming joy
Let's take time to forgive each other
Let's take time to live

5. Temptation

Wasn't a nightmare of some people
No fancy either by me
Everyone gets trials
Jesus was tempt by the evil too

The evil uses many things
Sex, money, music
And he uses the bible too
Not wrong things but he distorted these

Smash the evil
Smash the evil, kick him in his face
Smash the evil
Smash the evil
Then you will kill the beast
Then you will kill the beast

You can smash, kick and kill with your faith
Don't give it up, be strong in the lord, he helps you

6. Where Are You?

I hear your voice, although you can't speak a word
I see your face, although you aren't here
When I wake up at night and my hand grabs for you
That's when my whispers turn to screams that no one hears
No one hears, because they don't pass my lips
Seas full of tears, deeper than the ocean

Where are you?
I can't believe that this is true
Where are you?
I hope that I'll wake from this nightmare soon
Where are you - where are you?

I'm falling and I know that no one is there to catch me
And even when I'm partying with all my friends
I'm alone
I every face I'm just looking for yours
Quickly I pass by 'cause I know, I won't find
Without you - alive? - already dead?
No one can see - just masquerade

Some things don't pass, although they've been
Some agree, others just don't want to believe
Just masquerade
So many broken hearts in this world
One of many missing the one
No one can replace not with might or money
Nightmare or not? - Who are you?

7. Grave Of Heart

We leave these days
Trying to forget our last prayers
Searching for days of thunder
Can't believe - always wonder

All my tears knew
You'd never take me in your arms
And the other truth
You'll never catch me if I stumble

I'm standing here at the grave of my heart
I feel the fear, the day of a new start
I'm standing here at the grave of my heart
I feel the fear, the day of a new start
Grave of heart - Grave of dreams

Maybe you are right
My life before was tied
Maybe I just don't know
Waiting for the end of this show

Will I stand up to the top
Or did my heartbeat stop
Helpless I lay here
Like a toy out of fear

Teardrops are falling from my eyes
But where is one to hear my cries
I like to sleep all day and night
'cause I'm to weak to do what's right

8. Iron Man

Don't leave me here alone
Look in my eyes - truth was better for everyone
Better than white lies
I believe in love - think about what happens above
I believe in truth - think about you

Tell me why we couldn't talk about it
Show me how wrong I am
So come on and cry out loud
To never lose you again

I am not the iron man and you really know me
I am not the iron man, show what I want to be
I am not the iron man, it's my way to protect
I am not the iron man, searching for respect

Day by day - not just when I lay - help me to pray
Day by day - not just when I lay - help me to pray
To find the right way, I need courage to say
Inside turning to outside
Not able to do it alone
It's gonna be alright to leave my one throne

I am not the iron man and you really know me
I am not the iron man, show what I want to be
I am not the iron man, it's my way to protect
I am not the iron man, searching for respect

I always like to learn, to do what is right
And then never return - never go from your side

9. Pink Elephant

My dearest child, not yet born, not even conceived
But I speak to you as if you are
'cause I fear the day you ask me about the sun, trees birds and bees
Trees, birds and bees

You'll want to know, what I did to stop it all
And I won't be able to hide my shame
I'll only tell you the tale of pink elephants
You can fly through the heavens on their backs

Believe me, pink elephants can fly
Over the hills, the mountains and through the sky
They could, if they would, fly higher than high
But only the pink elephants can really fly

Forget the toys you used to play wars in your fantasy
And the videos where machines and monsters raged to rule
The desire for power and pleasure formed your world
And it will determine your child's future too

Close your eyes and realize where you are
They've survived despite all we've destroyed
They are all my parents left me from better days
They're your friends and you can give them to your child

10. This Night

It's summer and I am on an avenue
A street you can still walk at night
It's summer and not cold at all, but strangely I still quiver
Anonymous yet satisfied they walk past each other

It's a cold dark night tonight
A night like every other
It's cold, can't be closed with anything
It's the cold that surrounds us
It's a cold dark night tonight
A night like every other
It's cold, can't be closed with anything
It's the cold that surrounds us daily

I'm on my way to the party by Jacky
It's what's up tonight
"Great, you came" - It's all as usual
"How you doing?" - but no one cares
And everyone's drinking, cracking, having a blast
So they don't feel the deadly cold around them

He's on a corner of the seventh avenue
Eddi, the nomad of the town
He's just filling his tank with a bottle of wine
Having a good old time - with a tear in his eye
Days gone by and hard times brought him here
And every bottle sheds a new tear in his eye

I say: "Hey Ed, it's a cold dark night tonight!"
He laughs, a warm laugh, honest no fake or slight
It warmed me, it follows me through the cold night
It's so easy, it's pleasant to warm the cold night

11. Sailing

I am sailing, I am sailing,
Home again 'cross the sea.
I am sailing, stormy waters,
To be near you, to be free.

I am flying, I am flying,
Like a bird 'cross the sky.
I am flying, passing high clouds,
To be with you, to be free.

Can you hear me, can you hear me
Through the dark night, far away,
I am dying, forever trying,
To be with you, who can say.

Can you hear me, can you hear me,
Through the dark night far away.
I am dying, forever trying,
To be with you, who can say.

We are sailing, we are sailing,
Home again 'cross the sea.
We are sailing stormy waters,
To be near you, to be free.

Oh lord, to be near you, to be free.
Oh lord, to be near you, to be free,
Oh lord.
