Hi There
I'm still not very used to Blogspot as you might see when reading this blog - sorry for that.
But I was asked to put all the lyrics online. There you go...
Cheers,

1. Down
It’s getting dark inside
I find no place to hide
We’re lying side by side
My shadow and I
I don’t see what’s right anymore
I don’t see no light anymore
‚cause the higher you climb
the deeper you fall
the higher you climb
The deeper you fall
There is no resolution
for things you cannot change
you might find a reason why
find a logical explanation
But I tell you it’s not worth trying.
My teacher always told me to climb up high
to be the best, never the last, not to rest
but somehow it seems that some plays dice with us
coincidence is just an accident of an incidence.
Spontaneity is just a fake fort he human kind
long ago it was written in the stars
creations take time, time takes creations
So don’t create too much.
‚cause the higher you climb
The deeper you fall
The higher you climb
The deeper you fall
Take a look at our old generations
how many souls, how many wars we have lost
but still we use our minds to destroy ourselves
we’re all innocent, it was planned above.
I don’t move my feet anymore
‘cause my energy gets no reward
I don’t care what they say, I don’t care what they do
I’m hiding inside my walls.
‚cause the higher you climb
The deeper you fall
The higher you climb
The deeper you fall
I don’t see what’s right anymore
I don’t see no light anymore
‚cause the higher you climb
the deeper you fall
the higher you climb
The deeper you fall_________________________________________
2. Mercy
Standing in a church
Raising my hand to heaven
hearing the screams down below
I’m a fallen angel.
I’m the snake in the tree
bloody fingers, shocked eyes
a feeling of shame
a drive of lust.
I pray for mercy
mercy over me
I’m a victim of my victim
I’m the flesh of my flesh
Teeth boring in my heart
I’m on my way downstairs
The ghost of St. Mary above
the corpse of myself below
built by you, driven by you,
destroyed by you, killed by you.
I pray for mercy
mercy over me_________________________________________
3. A Window to the Sea
So many windows in the house
of the wise and old man
nothing he can see,
‚cause the windows can’t find the long way out
No sunlight is blinding his eyes
just the darkness in this room
Open the door
you will find sunlight
no-one else could ever be right.
He’s looking for a window to the sea
In a tiny room there’s a crack in the wall
where the outside world is coming through
The old man sits on his chair
reading the news of 1945.
He’s afraid to let the outside in
this is the time to stop this sin
Open the door
you will find sunlight
no-one else could ever be right.
He’s looking for a window to the sea

4. Lady in the Water
Oh little princess
Let me take the guidance now
Oh little princess
where are you from, you’re a stranger to me
Your face looks like a dragon’s face
but I cannot feel your fire
So hurry up and open up
I wanna know more
Oh little princess
jump in the water now
your face is getting smaller
‚cause I’m the biggest one in space
Oh little princess
broken bones and filthy flesh
eyes full of weakness
I possess you
Lady in the Water
This is not your soul!
Lady in the Water
No! This cannot be your soul!_________________________________________
5. A Soldier's Dream Part 1(Lyrics by Billy Little)
Every soldier has a dream
Whilst going off to war
He dreams of coming home
And what he`s fighting for
The promise he made to his mother
Whispered in a farewell embrace
Or the tears he wipes away
From his little sisters face
He shakes the hand of his father
Then hugs him ever so tight
He's holding back the tears
With all of his might
His wife kisses him so tenderly
While his son is at his knee
He scoops him up into his arms
The tears flow for all to see
His little boy wipes his tears
And say`s “Daddy don't cry”
I will look after mum for you
If you were to die
He puts his son down
And turns to walk away
Dreaming, that he will
Make it home one day_________________________________________
6. A Soldier's Dream Part 2
When the war is over
I’ll see my daughter Ann again
I will take her in my arms
I’ll give her the warmth she needs
I will tell her about the world
the rainbow and the singing birds
I will forget
the cries, the guns and the lies
Just one a attack
just on shot
just one bullet
I will survive!
What is the sense of war?
I can ask a woman, I can ask a man
everyone here says the same
what is the sense of war?
My heart is breaking when I see
you’re not a girl anymore,
you’ve become a woman now
Loss, only loss, oh my lord,
tell me now:
What is the sense of war?_________________________________________
7. Keep on Fighting
(Lyrics by Vanja Vukelic & Gion Stump)
I wanna tell youThat no one cares likeI wanna tell youEverybody knows everything betterI can’t count on you
I had a dream to lead the life
That no one lives
Everybody says that I’m not the man I should be.
Keep on fighting `til the end
Keep on running `til the end
When a new life has begun
It won’t be nice, it’ll cost a prize,
the feeling won’t fade away
Keep on fighting `til the end
I took the chance, that no one chose,
I know that life isn’t the thing I thought
No one expects that I’m strong enough.
Keep on fighting `til the end
Keep on running `til the end
When a new life has begun
It won’t be nice, it’ll cost a prize,
the feeling won’t fade away
Keep on fighting `til the end
What should I do – when no one takes a risk in life
What should I do – when no one holds to me
Anyway – Even if I haven`t got a size
Anyway – it will keep me alive.
Keep on fighting `til the end
Keep on running `til the end
When a new life has begun
It won’t be nice, it’ll cost a prize,
the feeling won’t fade away
Keep on fighting `til the end
I wanna tell you
That no one cares like
I wanna tell you
Be yourself and keep it in your mind
I can’t count on you
You should know, that I’m like you_________________________________________
8. Crucify the Earth
Far away I see them crawl
there they are so far away
When the big storm comes
I will be there
with my hands so clean
I’ll crucify the earth
Far away I see them grow
there they are so far away
you don’t like me,
‚cause I’m not like you
I wanna bring you peace
I crucify the earth
I will go down, I’ll take them into my hands,
where you’re from
The time when you’ve been blind seems to stay,
I know it from the vision I had
I saw this earth, it’s rotting,
people die, people dry up, this can’t be true!
I am just an alien, why do you want to kill me now?
I am scared, people race me around!
I am scared, everybody holds a gun and shouts!
When the trial starts, it will break my heart.
I’m so dumb!
I want to air this airless air
where the flies can spread our their wings
I had a dream that made me live
there should be flowers on the riff
but you don’t see !
You want to kill me now
inside out I’m like you
but you don’t see !
I am scared, I must sit on this chair !
I am scared, the priest is speaking strange words!
I am scared, I feel something in my veins!
I am scared, I feel power in my legs!_________________________________________
9. Living in the Sky
Children are playing hide and seek
hiding in the field
defining heaven and earth
with their eyes.
Leaves are falling from the sky
taken by the storm
flying in the air
they’re living in the sky.
Warm winds blow across the field
taking us from the ground
we see the world
completely from outside
The storm it takes me from the ground
my feet are leaving the windy field
flowers begin to bloom colours down below
We’re living in the sky
When I’m up there I’ll see the light
shining in my eyes
from the world down below
I feel my weight is fading
an empty body in the sky
so soft and so warm
fading… fading…
Flying in the air
like a leave taken by the storm
reminds me how it was
when we were living in the sky
When I’m up there I’ll see the light
shining in my eyes
from the world down below_________________________________________
10. Canyon
Being in a canyon
birds are circling around
I’m looking up
yes, being down
Reaching the other side
waiting for a tide
birds are circling around
Then coming down
Seeing a shape on the rock
somewhere inbetween
Trying not to loose the ground
hearing a different sound
Standing inside the water
looking for a hold
hearing again this laughter
shaving my head completely bold
Caught inside the walls
claustrophobia in my brain
falling like a waterfall
falling like the pouring rain_________________________________________
11. Fading
So many ways I passed I know I saw it all but everything was destroyed by the simple question why We grow up asking „why“ all the time when you’re older you seem to know that there is nothing but bearing what you are told to do Red roses, white snow, your dreams everything that blossoms will fade so bear the only things you have the void and the predetermined mind_________________________________________ (c) by Gion Stump
