Lyrics from "A SECRET WISH"

Dream within a dream

All that we see are seen,/ Is but a dream within a dream.
Take this kiss upon the brow! / And, in parting from you now, / Thus much left me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem / That my days have been a dream; / Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day, / In a vision, or in none, / Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem / Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar / Of a surf-tormented shore, / And I hold within my hand
Grains of golden sand / How few! yet how they creep / Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep! / O God! can I not grasp / Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save / One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

The murder of love

I've, I've been a victim of your love,/ Like many before so many before/
You, you strangle me with all your charms/ I yearn for more I'm yearning for more/

I'm charging you with murder/ the fire of love's dying down/
But in the face of the verdict/ I'm feeling a jealousy down/

Plead for mercy/

You, you've been convicted by a kiss/ You share too much you share too much/
I, I was a witness of your time/ Now I'm the judge I am the judge/

I'm charging you with murder/ the fire of love's dying down/
But in the face of the verdict/ I'm feeling a jealousy down/

Plead for mercy.

Duel

Eye to eye stand winners and losers/ Hurt by envy, cut by greed/
Face to face with their own disillusions
The scars of old romances still on their sheet/

And when blow by blow the passion dies
Sweet little deaths just have been lies
Some memories of gone by times will still recall the lines

The first cut won't hurt at all
The second only makes you wonder
The third will have you on your knees
You start bleeding, I start screaming

It's too late the decision is made by fate
Time to prove what forever should last/
Whose feelings are so true as to stand the test
Whose demands are so strong as to parry all attacks?

And when blow by blow the passion dies
Sweet little deaths just have been lies
Some memories of gone by times will still recall the lines

The first cut won't hurt at all
The second only makes you wonder
The third will have you on your knees
You start bleeding, I start screaming

Frozen faces

One box of optimism/ Forget the world/ Take this break/ And dance/

The drums are stained with blood/ Don't look at this disaster/ If you want my advice/
Take this break/ And dance/

Sweet secret sense of sin/ Sweet secret sense of rhythm/
Sweet secret sense of sin/ Sweet secret sense of rhythm/

Evoke your emotions/ Ich fuerchte keine einsamkeit/ Provoke these frozen faces/
Es giebt keine barmherzigkeit/ Take this break/ And dance/

You can't stay away from this/ Listen to this hellish crunch
You can't stay away from this/ The war has just begun/

Frozen faces can always melt/ Sweet secret sense of sin/ Sweet secret sense of sin/
Push this echo in the outside world/ Sweet secret sense of sin/ One box of optimism/
Forget the world/ Sweet secret sense of sin/ Sweet secret sense of sin/
Push this echo in the outside world/ Sweet secret sense of sin/
Frozen faces can always melt again.

On joyless lanes we walk in line, a calm but steady flow.
Accompanied by loud commands, our strength is running low.

Another hope feeds another dream
Another truth installed by the machine
A secret wish the marrying of lies
Today comes true what common sense denies

Rotating wheels are destiny, in flame the city lights
Machines call out for followers far out into the night
The calls of the machine drowning in the steam

Another hope feeds another dream
Another truth installed by the machine
A secret wish the marrying of lies
Today comes true what common sense denies

The calls of the machine drowning in the steam

On joyless lanes we walk in line
a calm but steady flow our strength is running low.

Another hope - another dream - another truth - installed by the machine
Installed by the machine.

Sorry for laughing

It took ten years to realise/ Why the angel start to cry/ When you sail on down the lane/
You have to smile your foggy name/ It's so hopeless to define/ When you jump to close the blind/
You know I'd hold you if I could but / Both my arms are made of wood/

I just don't mean the things that I say/ It's only cuz you're made that way/

Sorry for laughing there's too much happening/ Sorry for laughing there's too much happening/

When we goof off into town/ Charles Atlas starts to frown/ Cuz he's not made like me and you/
Just can't do the things we do/

I'm not being mean so don't take it hard/ When I ask you to run around the yard/

Sorry for laughing there's too much happening/ Sorry for laughing there's too much happening.

The chase

Chasing after passing visions

Chasing after passing visions/ And trace is buried by the time/Chasing after passing visions/
And trace is buried by the time/

Hunting for a by gone picture/ Reviving phantoms of the past/ Hunting for a by gone picture/

Chasing after passing visions/ I lost the magic of your touch/ And trace is buried by the time/
You secret smile I can't forget/ Chasing after passing visions/ You could turn back the point/
Just at the clock/ And trace is buried by the time/

Oh if I could and if you would.

Dr. Mabuse (Das Testament des Mabuse)

Why does it hurt when my heart misses the beat?

The man without the shadow promises you the world
Tell him your dreams and fanatical needs
He's buying them all with cash

Sell him your soul/ Sell him your soul/ Sell him your soul
Never look back/ Never look back/
Sell him your soul/ Sell him your soul
Never look back/ Never look back/Never look back/ Sell him your soul/ Mabuse/

He's devoted to the devil  fscinated by crime/
Glamorous death is his destination/
Eternal passion his gain/

Sell him your soul/ Sell him your soul/ Sell him your soul
Never look back/ Never look back/
Sell him your soul/ Sell him your soul
Never look back/ Never look back/Never look back/ Sell him your soul/ Mabuse/

Why does it hurt?- Why does it hurt?/
He's the Satanic gambler with you just the fool
And you`ve already lost the chance of your lifetime/
So don't be a fool/ Don't be a fool
Kein züruck für dich/ There's no way back/ Sell him your soul/

Never look back/Never look back/

Femme fatale (the woman with the orchid)

Wenn wir entweder ob wir es so d`rauf lassen / Oder ob wir direkt mit dem Stück/
Bis reinkommt...mit dem ersten Takt anfangen/

Before you start you already bleed/
Before you start you already bleed/
Before you start/

Her she comes/ You better watch your step/ She's gonna break your heart in two/ It's true/

It's not too hard to realise/ Just look into her ice-coloured eyes/ She builds you up just to bring you down/
What a clown/

'Cos everybody knows/ She's a femme fatale/ The things she does to please/ She's a femme fatale/
She's just a little tease/ She's a femme fatale/ See the way she walks/ And hear the way she talks/

You're written in her book/ You're number sixty-seven have a look/
She's gonta play you for a fool/ Oh it's true/

Little boy, she's from the street/ Before you start you already bleed/
She's gonta play you for a fool/ Oh it's true/

'Cos everybody knows/ She's a femme fatale/ The things she does to please/ She's a femme fatale/
Oh she's just a little tease/ She's a femme fatale/ See the way she walks/ And hear the way she talks/

Before you start you already bleed/ Before you start you already bleed/
Before you start you already bleed/ Before you start you already bleed/
She' a femme fatale / She' a femme fatale/

Lyrics from "Love And A Million Other Things"

KISS LIKE ETHER

Lay yourself upon my mind
Hold this though all the while
And as your eyes and lips meet mine
Break down the walls of standing time

Chorus :
Baby by the way
You've got a kiss like ether
Baby by the way
You've got a kiss like ether

Walk with me the silent lanes
Movin' slowly in the flames
In the flow of light in deep
Feel the fingers of the wind

Chorus



BABY SIGH

There are times life seems a dream
Love beats between us like a summer sea
It's sweet to dance when life is fair
I'm ready for love, not a love affair

People float and wane away
Like the patterns of the day
Sometimes it seems so strange to me
That life can be so bittersweet

Chorus :
Baby sigh
Give us time
Baby sigh
For a love we find
See us high
And witness who
Side by side
In love we flew

There are times I'd like. to be
As far away from you as I can be
We call for peace and then we scream
How strange it seems suddenly

Chorus



ABSOLUT(E)

Absolutely, absolutely

The night is young
It's not too late to make up for the past
Memories so true and strong
Like strips they stay and part
I want to be by your side
And leave your vision and drive
Speak the words you said
You claim the dreams that you had
I want to see with your eyes
And what they disguise
All the thoughts that your keep
The moments you sleep

When I give my love it's absolutely
Absolutely absolute
When I give my love it's abosolutely
Absolute absolute


I fell like I must look again
To push away the pain
My minds sends out its silent screams
It knows no better way

W'hen I give my love it's abolute
I'm shooting for the stars
When I give my love it's absolute
I walk on broken glass

I can't help how I feel
Always a hunter
AlI hear is your voice
You're the call and the answer
So far away and yet
I feel you like thunder
Want you back in my life
Or I'm going under

Chorus

All that you give I promise to return
Take my word ; l'll leave no stone unturned
Afy fate is sealed; there is no end to giving
Hell will freeze before I stop believing

Chorus


SUICIDE - A SONG FOR THE GHOST

Da du da
It's as though you saw right through me
I can feel the end is near
And the rain drop its approval
I can't just let you disappear

Passion died and trouble started
So we quarreled so we parted
Never though the day would come
Our secret fangs were our tongues

Suicide, suicide, a kind of suicide
All the past we leave behind, a kind of suicide

Allow me to be straight with you
Distance changed my point of view
I never touched you like a stranger
Da da da

Passion died and trouble started
So we quarreled so we parted
Think of all thouse times I've touched you
Leaving lipstick on your face

It feels like (chorus)

Day by day my loss is growing
Words say nothing what I feel
Da da da du da du da da da

Every moment loist its meaning
Since you ran away from me
Da da da
Can't you see it's killing me

Chorus



UNFORGIVEABLE

I ask myself a hundred times
How can someone be so blind

Sometimes I feel so alone
Sometimes I feel your heart is made of stone
You're always watching television
But to me you just won't listen
You haven't heard a word I've said
You'll give me back my self-respect
A thousand dreams within me burned
For those moments to return
You kiss my lips with lips of flame
You called me by my secret name
It's seems so unforgiveable
That when we talk you sit so still
I just think of what we could be
If you let me I could make you happy

Chorus :
One of us must be on earth
To hold the other down
Every day's another crisis
When you're not around
This is the state of my life
It's been raining all day and all night
This is the state of my life
As I hide behind the silent tears

I watched your passion slip away
Between the sheets I'm left here dreaming
Another world within my head
All I can see is a love that's bleeding
There is no rhyme ; there is no reason
Forgotten times, forgotten feelings
One thing though I know is true
If my heart must break it will break for you




MOMENTS OF JOY

Face to face we stand
Tempatation lies to close to hand
Left to tell my mercy
You're devoted to love
Together without touching
Just by chance

Beautiful passion ; that look in your eyes
Born in the atmosphere ; created in time
Like a flame without a fire

Chorus :
Never give up, never give up, never give up
Moments of joy How does it feel ?
How does it feel ? Tell me, how does it feel

Advancing there, retreating here
The wheels of passion sweeping near
In your embrace I can't forget
Everything you said
Lost in my senses
Feel so secure
Touch myself to music

Chorus




FANATIC (THE NAIL IN MY SOUL)

A fanatic should never be understimated
Imagine just the two of us
What we'd do is what we must
I can't control my dreams
You push me to extremes

Sin is the nail in the soft wood of my soul
Is the challenge of my heart
Is the reason, is my goal

Imagine just the two of us
What we'd do is what we must
Imagine just the two of us
What we'd do is what we must

Love like your heartbeat
Love liek your heartbeat

When eyes tell lies, when lips deceive
When trust is gone my heart will bleed
I speak my mind, I'm no pretender

Chorus
Imagine just the two of us
What we'd do is what we must
(Repeat)

Love like your heartbeat
Love like your heartbeat

Sin is over quickly and so is my confession
Sin is over quickly, I'm chained to my obsession

Imagine just the two of us...




LOVE IN ANOTHER WORLD

You never know what lies ahead when two people meet
When dreams become flesh and feelings speak
Trust is a two-way street

Being with you opens me up
Can't believe what i hear myself saying
Words become flesh, touch after touch
You're the answer to all of my prayers

Chorus :
Love in another world
Love in another world
I don't believe in reason
You're here my heart is beating
I have the strangest feeling

Once upon a time I was careless
I'm tired of fooling around
I know it sounds sily but it's kind of funny
I can't figure it out

Being with you opens me up
Can't believe what I hear myself saying
And there are parts of the moment I have the notion
This heaven is where I am saying

Chorus
Love in another world




ALWAYS

Do you remember, love, how you used to say
W'e will find a way always

It started out of nothing; it was just another day
I couldn't shake that sense away that I had fallen prey
I knew you'd lose your temper but I felt I had to say
Is this another mood of yours ?
Are you playing games ?

Chorus :
Blind with rage you turn away from me
The price I have to pay
Do you remember, love, how you used to say
We will find a way always

You took what you had given me plus a little more
Now I am discouraged ; you make me feel unsure
I bowed all of my heart to you; I guess that's love
Now your tender ways enslave me but you refuse to talk

Chorus

You change your mood ten times a day; don't know what to say
But then you take a shine to me and everything's okay
Don't promise me what you can't give; don't be cruel
This could llst forever but don`t treat me like a fool

Chorus




SURPRISE (FOR M. G.)

I don't care what your motives are
For all I know your might break my heart
I'm scared if we go to far
And heaven or in hell
You can never tell
How things turned round

Chorus:
There`s a light in your eyes
It might be telling lies
It might be paradise
Don`t knoe how; don`t know why
You took me by surprise
And know my hopes are rising high

You send me out
Beyond my wildest dreams
High on life
At least it seems that way
If what you say is
Who you really are
Then I don`t care
What your motives are

Chorus
