1. The Sinister Child

In those days of the Roman emperors
Issued a decree that a census should be taken of the world
Joseph was one of the labourers
With Mary he went to Bethlehem, the town of David
You have something heard

While they were there, a child was born
The mother wrapped him in some clothes
And placed him in a manger by the inn

While they were there, a child was born
The shepherds watched their flocks at night
The Lord appeared and they were terrified
While they wer there, a child was born
Don´t be afraid, he´s in the world, he´s born to you
The sinister child

The shepherds straight went to Bethlehem
To find the place to glorify and serve the child
And many were with them
Three kings had heard of the mystery
They were overjoyed to find him there
They worshiped him and praised their destiny

And a star was shining bright
The tidings spread out through the land
That through his birth a new time will arise

And a star was shining bright
But he birth it was not underfiled
And the demons danced untamed so free and wild
An a star was shining bright
Don´t be afraid, he´s in the word, he´s born to you
The sinister child

2. At The Break Of This Day

Let´s hear about those days
About the olden times
When Herman beat the Romans
In this glorious fight
Now, heart the song about
All those breathless deeds
On the field of battle
The Germans found relief

Underfeated stood
The Roman Empire in those years
All other nations were enslaved
And mothers cried countless tears
The evil ones, they felt too save
Then someone came who brought there fall
He was the man who had the plan
He had the strength to free us all

At the break of this day
When the mist clears away
They are match for us, but we will stay
At the break of this day
We get on our way
And today we will have the final say

He went to Rome and then
Became the leader fort the legions of Rome
He learned their politics
And then his heart led him back home
He talked to us we followed him
And he convinced us all
They were a lot, but we were fearless
Together we stand, divided we fall

At the break...

3. Fallen From God

I am standing by the sea wondering
See some birds fly over me wondering
So many things have passed my way wondering
I took it easy day by day wondering

But then came a day that changed my mind
And I stopped admiring what he said
And I´ve recognized he isn´t blind

Fallen from God
Now here I stay
I don´t believe
Do not save me in the Judgement Day

I´m just born to fade away thank you
I see cruelty in every way thank you
Mortal life kills to survive thank you
Praise the lord for this simple life thank you

Your creation is so wonderful
You looked at it and it was good
Please be gentle to the ones, that never understood

Fallen from God
Now here I stay
I don´t believe
Do not save me in the Judgement Day

4. Frankenstein´s Brothers

We´re by birth sons of a doc
Who later feared what he had given live
We embraced, hugged and caressed us
Believe me we didn´t strife
Early on, we were the nightmare
Of the neighbourhood
In our school our teachers loved us
And they want our presence for good

We don´t like when fellow-beings
Scream into our ears
They don´t respect our sensitivity
They don´t respect our fears

We´r Franenstein´s brothers
We come to your town
Take care of your daughters
We turn your world upside down

Nowadays we´re older and wiser
And have learned that people are strange
We have found our place in society
Our lives are conformed and arranged
When we play night after nicht with our
Heavy-metal-band
Thanks to all that like these monsters
Created by an uncommon hand

We don´t like when...

We´re Frankenstein´s brothers...

5. Until The War Will End

From the gate of the kings where the loud horn calls
The north wind rides and falls
What news from the north can you bring today
Who went that long and stony way

Move on - bring the message to my friend
Move on - until the war will end

Over fen and field where the long grass grows
The west wind comes and goes
What news from the west do you bring tonight
Have you seen the glorious fight

Move on - bring the message to my friend
Move on - until the war will end

From the endless sea where the goddes lives
The south wind moans and grieves
What from the south can you tell to me
How many passed the flowing sea

Move on - bring the message to my friend
Move on - until the war will end

6. Witchcraft

Are you standing on the turning point
Do you feel everything´s disjoint
All your hopes are build on sand
And you´re searching for the helping hand

If you don´t fear what we´re praying
Listen to what we are saying

With witchcraft you can change your world
Holy rites and flashing lights
With witchcraft you can change your world
Rune stones and wizard sings

By the moon bright and clear
Calm and cold shall be night
Everything will turn out right

Just look around and you will see
Somethings are not as they used to be
Sometimes you think, you are too small
But believe me, you can change it all

If you don´t know...
With Witchcraft...

Waht has happened hit the best of us
You have seen through all that fuss
You don´t need to play this game
Like they die, you can do the same

If you don´t know...
With Witchcraft...

7. Sleeping Beauty

In our childhood days
We played princess and prince
We followed our dreams
We´re decided ever since
I habe built you a castle with roses and thyme
And there I first kissed you
And so you always will be mine

You are my sleeping beauty
You´re all that I am
To call for your lovin´
Is all that I can
You are my sleeping beauty
Wherever you are
Forever in me, if near or if far

We experienced the world
In our short years
As real as paradise
Without any tears
But in a single moment, all the passion died out
I lonely and thougtful I´m wandering about

Still you are my sleeping beauty

8. Puppet In A Play

[Prolog:]
When I´d attained the age of seventeen
My parents send me to a cadet school
All may fellow students were like me
Coming from distinguished homes
They treated us hard, but not unfairly
They drilled us and we learned to stand straigth
We looked s fine in our uniforms
Ans our parents were so proud of us
We went to many fancy dress balls
And met the sisters of our fellow friends
And also women that we shouldn´t know
But hese were things that we kept for ourselves
We didn´t had the faintest notion
What fighting on the battleground means
In those days everything was glorious
And the departure was not easy for us

The rain ships my face and like strucked by lightning
My comrade falls near by my side
I creep over him, I pull him back - hopefully he is alive
Through smoke, fire and blood, through all that hellfire
I carry him save to our camp
But in my exitement I lost attention
That something has taken his soul
Was it worth the price - This human sacrifice

I have tried it with might and main
Alas, but I had to underlay
Against the Death everything´s in vain
I was just a puppet in a play

I´m wounded and sick
My comrade beside me
Is wounded and struggles with death
I try t help him as best as I can
In all this horror and pain
In blaze, blood and danger with kindred emotions
I try to ease his mind
But deep dark shadow that move like monsters
Shake him and take him away
Was it worth the price
This human sacrifice

I have...

Now war is over but I´m still in service.
I survived in this horrible dream
I miss my brother, who deserted the colours
He wrote me, he is alive
By nighfall they called me for an execution
But oh God what did I see
These clear proud eyes where the eyes of my brother
I close my eyes as I shoot
Was it worth the price
This human sacrifice

I have...

9. The Kiss Of Death

When I saw you in that moonlit night
The sea mirrored your face
Your silhouette so angelic
I felt a deep disgrace

Yes, I know, I shouldn´t do it
But I love your innocence
You will love it, when I give you
The kiss of death

Your parents died when you were young
Since then you lived alone
Your days grew on and on and on
I´d foreseen it, then I´d known

Yes, I know, I shouldn´t do it
But I love your innocence
You will love it, when I give you
The kiss of death

I stole myself into your heart
I was your brother and friend
During all that time, I wished and longed
Desired the final end

Yes, I know, I shouldn´t do it
But I love your innocence
You will love it, when I give you
The kiss of death

10. Moonfleet

At one time lived in a small place by the coast
A founling that didn´t had a name
The people in the town didn´t take notice of that maid
The place was called "Moonfleet"
And thay called her the same

Moonfleet

No one cared about this little girl
Although she had a spezial gift
What she dreamed of, always come true
But that only knew

Moonfleet

"Hear my words - a flood will come
Hear my words - we all will drown then
Hear my words - please built a dyke"
So told them again and again

Moonfleet

They at last believed what the little girl said
And so everyone could be saved before the flood
And since that day erybody knows her name
The place was called "Moonfleet"

Moonfleet

11. Salome

King Herod gave a banquet for all his leading man
They ate and drank and they were pleased
He called for his daughter, he loved her for her beauty
"Dance for me at this feast"

"Ask me for anything all that you want, an I will give it to you"

She smiled at him gently and thougt by herself
This day you will regret
No longer I´m your daughter, I want to kiss that prophet
Or otherwise he will be dead

The night of the seven veils - she wants to seduce him
The night of the seven veils - she wants to confuse him
The night of the seven veils - he just let her feel his hate
The night of the seven veils - and so she wants his head onto a plate

Her dances were bewitching, she danced the seven veils
She was so passionate and pure
The guests and her fahter they cheere more and more
Her father promised her for sure

"Ask me for anything, all that you want, and I will give it to you"

"I love John the Baptist, but he won´t look at me
He just found words of disdain
All that I will ask for the head of John my lover
This is the pleasure for my pain"

The night of the seven veils...

12. The Drinking Song

If you want to have a good time
Well, there is just one single way
Let us meet our old companions
That we have found along the way

Still our days and nights are endless
Still we´re running wild and free
Still those women are temptation
Play the game like it used to be

Le us drink to the times that we had
The good and the bad
Until we´re dead - hoi
Let us drink to the times that we had
The good and the bad
Until we´re dead

Don´t look back in anger
The old times still remain
Everything is changing
But something´s still the same

With the years it´s getting harder
To party all night long
But don´t let them steal your power
To sing our finest song

Let us drink...

13. Blood Lies In My Hand

[Bonus Track]

In my head, in my brain
There is something still remaining from the past
Was it "breaking the chains"
Was it destiny that was happening at lost

I have cried to my father, I have prayed at the moon
Is there anybody healing me so soon

It was always the same
There was something strage in the corner of my world
Never ending the game
Can I stand the power of the flame that burns my soul

I have prayed to my father
I have cried at the moon
Is there anybody healing me
Someone bring her back to me
I just want to see her smiling face

I´ve given her my heart, I´ve given her my soul
But the door it slammed and she has left me lonely
I´ve given you my heart, I´ve given you my word
But the darkness came and you have left me lonely
So lonely - and now your blood lies in my hand

I´ve given you my heart I´ve given you my word
But the door it slammed
And you have left me lonely
So lonely - and now your blood lies in my hand
