    1. Hole In The Sky

      I thought as a child
      I'd feel like an eagle
      Rain on the windscreen
      I'm captured in technical solitude

      Fly
      The higher I am
      The closer I'll be to the hole in the sky
      And all the words unspoken you told me
      Soon they'll fade away

      Riding on top of the clouds
      Up into the gleaming gold of an afternoon
      I set my controls for the heart of the sun
      To reach for the stratosphere

      Fly
      The higher I am
      The closer I'll be to the hole in the sky
      And all the words unspoken you told me
      Soon they'll fade away

      Time's never been on our side
      The haze between death or alive
      Revealing the secrets of life
      I'll fly to the grevious light
      To crawl to you

    2. Who Do You Think We Are

      We both know we dreamed our live away
      We both thought that we'd be back someday
      But now you're out of my reach
      Not the slightesyt trace of you
      We thought we'll always win
      But now we loose

      Who do you think we are
      There's nothing left
      But the shades of our past
      Someday, somehow
      I guess the chase is over
      Let's stop for a while
      And dream again

      We both know the sun will rise again
      We both thought that it'd never end
      But somewhere deep inside
      Live has got a bitter taste
      When not a single friend is here to stay

    3. Wait Five Years

      You have to live
      You have to give
      Each other your love
      There you stand talking to me
      Time stands still,
      The sun is shining through
      Your golden hair
      I believe that you and me
      We catch the wind
      The world is in our hands

      You have to live
      You have to give
      Each other your love

      Now, when no one will care
      When no one will hear about your sorrows,
      That all went so wrong
      When your life
      Will never be so easy
      Like it was before

      You have to live
      You have to give
      Each other your love

    4. What I Need, Part 1 ... Leaving

      [instrumental]

    5. What I Need, Part 2 ... What I Need

      I know why you're leaving
      I never meant to be the way your thought
      Side by side
      Was it your hand holding mine?
      The warmth still coming
      radiating through the sheets for me
      your love as a beacon
      retreating to an endless summer sea

      I don't know what I'm fighting for
      What I'm living for
      You don't know what I need
      Why we're looking for the meaning of our life
      Laughing as it passes
      You don't know what I mean

      I see the window ledge
      Falling far behind
      I hope this really was
      The thing you had in mind
      Did I closed the window
      It seems it's gonna be
      A rainy day again
      I'd really love to have you here to see me

    6. In Your Dreams

      No communication
      Ev'ry breath is like a treat
      You feel the wind is blowing
      But your heart can't stand the heat
      It's dark, I've never been without you by my side

      Tell me what do you fell when you die in your dreams

      You'll never find the answer
      This is the last day of your life
      Come with me and we are together
      All is left behind

      Final expectations
      They're moving into range
      The journey to my book of dreams
      Writes another page
      It's dark, the fairy-tale was written long before

      Tell me what do you feel when you die in your dreams

      You'll never….
      I promise to guide you to a place you once called home
      And when it seem that they're drawing the curtain
      A new sun shines on you

      How can you feel this way
      Who knows the truth about your live
      And what do we have, when all leads us to an end
      Now I see things in a special way
      Come on and touch the universe
      Now we're together, don't go away
      Let's start tonight, now things fir together….close your eyes

    7. It's Alright

      Did you really think that daisy chains picked in vain
      Put you to shame, I don't think so
      Did you really think you're right to ask me why
      Don't waste my time, no no not this way

      Have you ever rode your bike across the sea
      Couldn't be , now htat you're older
      Standing in a line they're pushing from behind
      You're getting closer, to the edge of time

      A step to far you start too fall, but I'm here to hold you

      It's alright but just for the moment
      Make it happen for me
      Here comes the oversized

      Tell me what is left when all the days are gone
      Will you be here and we're starting over
      Follow me to watch us from behind the clouds
      The game is over
      What a perfect day

    8. Crazy Lane

      Say somebody to your broken heart
      Follow me onto a peaceful plane
      By the way, your friends will be beside you
      I never thought our life would be
      An easy way to go
      What's beyond the words we have to say
      But close to you, I'm always there beside you

      Why is it now, somewhere, somehow
      Try to reach my heart
      You will always be the light leading my way

      Crazy lane, at least the end is near
      Learn to fly, to where you once have been
      Come with me and the world is in our hands
      Don't give up 'cause love will find its way

      Drifting through my open mind
      'Cross the universe, my love
      Will ease your pain
      By the way, your friends will be beside you

      Fell your way, wherever life will carry you
      Flying high, my arms are open wide
      But close to you, I'm always there beside you

    9. Fool

      Floating down the sea
      I'm living at the edge of seasons
      Take me to the water
      Life is tumbling down again

      Take me to the universe
      I never learned to fly
      And all the little creatures
      Laughing in a very special way

      All our thoughts gone to the ground
      But the world is going round and round and….

      Cruising lonely on the darkside of my life
      To be alone – yeah
      The new sun coloured amber striding for the place
      We call our home – yeah

      I feel the end is near
      Childhood seeping through my finger
      Feel me here I got the ticket to a soul insane

      The new sun coloured amber
      Striding for three different seas
      Bleeds me, kind it is it blinds me
      Like our kind I cannot see

      All our thoughts gone to the ground
      But the world is going round and round and….

      Cruising lonely on the darkside of my life
      To be alone – yeah
      The new sun coloured amber
      Striding for the place
      We call our home – yeah

      I never take it back to be on my own
      Don't be the fool, and just think twice
      On the street to nowhere all on my own
      Don't be the fool, and just think twice

    10. Hole In The Sky ... Part 3 - The Promise

      I made up my mind
      I promised I'd follow wherever you're going to
      I can't see your face in the clouds

    11. Spring Of Freedom

      The kingdom was far away
      Down by the sea
      Where mountains come out of the sky
      All the kids laughing and playing around
      When fire burned down the horizon

      Now all the forgotten are standing in line
      They missed the train to the high lands
      Where rivers of green under skies of blue
      Still keep the secrets of freedom

      Mountains come out of the sky
      And they are standing there
      Rivers of green floating down to become
      The source of freedom
      When they had their windows
      Wide waiting for the rain
      Watching TV, waiting for a day to come

      Do the leaves of green stay greener
      Than in autumn
      Bringing out visions
      Of long forgotten yesterdays
      Living our life like flowers in concrete
      The sun doesn't shine anymore
      So come on and open the door
      Revealing the dreams
      Dreamed once on this place

      Mountains come out of the sky
      And they are standing there
      Rivers of green floating down to become
      The source of freedom
      When they had their windows
      Wide waiting for the rain
      Watching TV, waiting for the day to come
      For the day to come, for their life to return

    12. Farewell

      Grey stars loose their light before I turned
      The present to the past
      Screaming children make me wonder
      Where all expressions laid
      A preacher’s fairy-tale that makes me cry
      Before I say “good-bye”
      To the lonely Kings and Queens
      With their lonely eyes

      Remember all the time when life
      Was only china in our hands
      And all the sunflakes in our hearts
      They turned to tears of endless seas
      Today's no longer real, the time has changed
      The sun will rise again
      Like the lonely Kings and Queens
      I'll off my fears away…

      When the Master calls,
      Don't be afraid to say “Farewell”!
      - close your petrified eyes –

      Now you're on your own,
      Tonight I cannot help you anymore
      Never wake and makes me wonder
      Questions holding me laid
      The preacher’s fairy-tale that made me
      Cry before I say “good-bye”
      Like the lonely Kings and Queens,
      With their lonely eyes…

      And when the Master calls,
      Don't be afraid to say “Farewell”!
      - close your petrified eyes -

    13. God Has Failed

      You'll never be forgotten
      You're always on my mind
      I look into the mirror
      A good friend is hard to find
      Yould anyone please telle me
      If all was fixed before
      This year spring comes to early
      'cause God has failed once more
      The pictures I have found
      You're face looks still the same
      Whenever I'm asleep
      My heart will call your name
      To tell about your life
      Is all I can do for you
      Your end has come to early
      'Cause God has failed once more
