Time what is time
(Olbrich/Kursch)
When the moonchild is crying And silence has broken The darkest truth
The things she remembered Had never been her own Replicant or human? I know the way to show
What do I see? What will I find? Know the answer inside It's your last step
Time what is time I wish I knew how to tell you why It hurts to know, aren't we machines?
Time what is time Unlock the door and see the truth Then time is time again
Whispering These dreams were never mine It's cold inside
It's gone forever The things he saw Who can say what's wrong or right? The vision of a free life
His eyes had seen it all For what he's asking The vision, vision, vision I know it's all a lie
I'll remember his past life And I'll remember time
What did I see? What have I done? God, I knew the answers When he felt so tired
Time what is time Come lock the door, don't let me in I am the one, your destiny
Time what is time Reality, it hurts me so When time is time again
Look into my eyes Feel the fear just for a while I'm a replicant And I love to live
Is it all over now? Only these years I'll leave but I'm singing
Time what is time He saw it clearly, it's too late It does not heal but it lets us forget
Time what is time We'll never know so don't take care Then time is time again
Should I forget the way I feel? God, he knows how long I tried Feel there is no reason to cry I live my life in fortune dreams forever
Journey through the dark
(Olbrich/Kursch)
Many songs I've written About the things I saw My inner soul's a wasteland I can't run away from here
Try to find them All the lost thoughts in my mind I woke up on a hill so many times before Yesterday seems like a dream no more
Frozen memories laughing They don't let me find the truth Am I born to be a king? Or a jester of the fools?
You're the mystical old bard On your journey through the dark Mystical old bard Your journey through the dark
I can't remember my name I never knew how to find my home I can't remember my name Come tell me where will it end
I'm the chosen one To perform all these things But not for me In illusions and reality
I'm on my journey through the dark I'm on my journey through the dark
You're the mystical old bard On your journey through the dark Mystical old bard Your journey through the dark
I can't remember my name Will I ever find myself? The distance is growing My hope has gone away
A flash of light but nothing changes When will it end? Which part of me remains?
Soon I'll be back On my ferryboat of tales Where oblivion reigns It will take all of me
You're the mystical old bard On your journey through the dark Mystical old bard Your journey through the dark
Black chamber
(Kursch)
I am lost in the black chamber There's no way to turn back It takes me down forevermore And death would be so sweet
I'm possessed by the old creature Who had planned all to take my soul
Too late for me In my hands it lies, I thought But I failed Now he's in me
My soul is lost In his black chamber
I'm gone
Theatre of pain
(Olbrich/Kursch)
The giant's lost and all around him Destructed, for what? They all knew what it meant But they couldn't change it
Lord, they had gone too far Leave them alone
It's all gone, what is left behind On a desert we called earth? When the last whale went away Did they ever see the tears?
Don't fear your last step From the theatre of pain And the children will love Your singing from the sea
The sea is calling Now we've to leave it
The sea was clear on the day I was stranded Answers I'd known To keep this all alive But I can't change it forever
Now I'm gone And it seems that life had never existed So we left the dark and cold All I left behind are my tears
Don't fear your last step From the theatre of pain And the children will love Your singing from the sea
The sea is calling I hear them calling
The quest for Tanelorn
(Hansen/Siepen/Olbrich/Kursch)
By the ruins he stands And he's waiting for me to enter Tanelorn His paths seems strange but they're always planned Seldom he succeeds about his own fate
He tries to conquer it again and again But at last he's almost a ruined man Not a king or god, who's searching for A place called Tanelorn far beyond your dreams
On our quest for Tanelorn We lose our way On our quest for Tanelorn
He's waiting He's waiting for me He's waiting He's waiting for me
Darkness falling down on me Darkness, the eternal battle rises I know the answers although they don't exist I'm just a mortal illusion
On our quest for Tanelorn We lose our way On our quest for Tanelorn
So I'm his companion through space and through time His eternal servant, he's calling me So I must leave to any life To another world far beyond your dreams
To know the truth just for a while He's longing for a place where he can find himself Deliverance, it could be everywhere How can he find?
He's waiting for me and for you Tanelorn
On our quest for Tanelorn We lose our way On our quest for Tanelorn We lose our way
On our quest for Tanelorn We lose our way On our quest for Tanelorn We're left alone
Ashes to ashes
(Olbrich/Kursch)
Taste the poison Feel that this is life Hallowed be the game
Of life and innocence God's waiting for him Join us at the road to fate There are no two paths
Feel the pain which steps into his life Agony, he'll be crucified Death awaits, knocking at his door Agony, leave him
The clock will strike the end Hell or heaven? Reflect and fade away
Ashes to ashes Dust to dust The life clock strikes and you obey Like a candle light that fades
Ashes to ashes Dust to dust When the life clock strikes you will obey Time isn't here to stay
Ashes to ashes Dust to dust The life clock strikes and you obey A light shows the right way
Morning is whispering in my head Too late to say goodbye Too late, the last breath's done Deliverance at all
He's born to find this end I am the one, the one who's calling Obey my call to the cemetary
And don't be afraid to step into the dark Be sure that my voice will take you home
Ashes to ashes Dust to dust The life clock strikes and you obey Like a candle light that fades
Ashes to ashes Dust to dust When the life clock strikes you will obey Time isn't here to stay
No hope, he'd waited so long This can't be god's will He surrendered long ago There was no real chance
Ashes to ashes And dust will be dust Ashes to ashes You all will be dust again
The clock had struck the end Up to heaven Reflexions fade away
Ashes to ashes Dust to dust The life clock strikes and you obey Like a candle light that fades
Ashes to ashes Dust to dust When the life clock strikes you will obey Time isn't here to stay
Ashes to ashes Dust to dust The life clock strikes and you obey A light shows the right way
Taste the poison Feel that this is life Hallowed be the game
The bard's song: In the forest
(Olbrich/Kursch)
Now you all know The bards and their songs
When hours have gone by I'll close my eyes In a world far away we may meet again But now hear my song About the dawn of the night
Let's sing the bard's song
Tomorrow will take us away Far from home No one will ever know our names But the bard's songs will remain
Tomorrow will take it away The fear of today It will be gone Due to our magic songs
There's only one song left in my mind Tales of a brave man who lived far from here Now the bard songs are over And it's time to leave
No one should ask you for the name of the one Who tells the story
Tomorrow will take us away Far from home No one will ever know our names But the bards songs will remain
Tomorrow all will be known And you're not alone So don't be afraid in the dark and cold 'Cause the bards songs will remain
They all will remain
In my thoughts and in my dreams They're always in my mind These songs of hobbits, dwarves and men And elves, come close your eyes
You can see them too
The bard's song: The hobbit
(Olbrich/Kursch)
Out in the distance There's so much gold The treasure that I've found Is more than enough
Far to be the hill we've to go Over the mountain and seas
To the old hill where the old dragon sleeps Blind in the dark dungeon's night So god, please, take me away from here And Gollum shows the way right out
I'm alive
The dying dragon brought trouble and pain And horror to the halls of stone I'll take the mighty stone And leave the dwarves behind
Ice and fire and forest we passed And horror in the halls of stone
Trolls in the dark, the dawn took them all Caught in the wood by the wooden kings men But now I'm alone 'cause I've made up my mind By the spell of gold
