Your hand full of hours - sand from the urns
A traveling companion - the secret of ferns
From darkness to darkness - where shall I begin
When whiteness attacked us - sewn under our skin
And there were the stars that helped to navigate our souls

With all my love
I went into the world
From inside out
And I gave it all to you
But I need your love
That was looking for me
Just on my lips look for your kiss

And always I think where we night have gone
If we'd never met inside this song
Our names are enciphered - but the words became true
When I was the sun and you, you were the moon
And there were the stars that helped to navigate our souls

. . .


Once I was so sure
Once I was so blind
Wonder what you said
If you read my mind

Angel in a car
Devil on a cross
Scarecrows in the fields
Jesus on the rocks

Letters in the rain
Rabbit on the run
God was made for you
Lizards for the sun

Monkey in the moon
I can see you through
Monkey in the moon
This one's made for you

Message understood?

Flower in a word
Words without a priest
Wings without a bird
Beauty without beast

Signal overkill
Trains are overdue
Fool upon a hill
Ocean overview

Letters in the rain
Rabbit on the run
This one's made for you
Lizards for the sun

Monkey in the moon
I can see you through
Monkey in the moon
This one's made for you

Fool upon a hill
Trains are overdue
Except what we forgot
Nothing's really new

Head above the clouds
Eyes are opened wide
Windmill burning down
Walk into the light
Walk into the light

Letters in the rain
Rabbit on the run
This one's made for you
Lizards for the sun

Monkey in the moon
I can see you through
Monkey in the moon
This one's made for you

. . .


Be my guard just for tonight
That is all I'm asking for
Take me under your wing
I can't make it anymore

I am so full of fear
May you read a book to me
And when the shadows grow
won't you stay with me

Will you be my guard tonight
That is all I'm asking for
Will you be my guard tonight
That is all I need to know

Be my guard beside my bed
That is all I need to know
Would you please hold my hand
Don't you ever let it go

All the wonders of the world
For a little second more
I can't speak but can't you see
It's your touch I'm crying for

Will you be my guard tonight
That is all I'm asking for
Will you be my guard tonight
That is all I need to know

That is all I'm asking for
That is all I need to know
That is all I'm asking for

Be my guard just until dawn
When I can hear the birds again
I'm as helpless as can be
Will you guard my little flame

If we never meet again
You shall always keep in mind
That you were my guard tonight
That you were my guard tonight

Will you be my guard tonight
That is all I'm asking for
Will you be my guard tonight
That is all I need to know

Will you be my guard tonight
That is all I'm asking for
Will you be my guard tonight
That is all I need to know

That is all I need to know
That is all I need to know
That is all I need to know

Sometimes I wish that you were dead
I wasn't right to let you go away
I tried to kill the pain inside
But you were always on my mind
No matter where I go or stay

Into the night still falls the rain
Even the dogs stay home tonight
Out on the streets, goin' nowhere
Just one direction in my thoughts

Love can be magic, it can be a game
Sometimes it's tragic, sometimes a shame
Words were my bullets, emotion my gun
I was a runner, now I'm on the run

Sometimes I wish that you were dead
That is because you haunt me so
I wasn't right to let you go away
I tried to kill the pain inside
But you are always on my mind
No matter where I go or stay

Sometimes I dream my time away
And we're together again
Buy I know that can never be
And all my hopes are in vain

You were my treasure but I didn't know
You were the sun in my life
Thought I was dying when I realized
There's just one chance to survive

Sometimes I wish that you were dead
That is because you haunt me so
I wasn't right to let you go away
I tried to kill the pain inside
But you are always on my mind
No matter where I go or stay

Sometimes I wish that you were dead
Sometimes I wish that you were dead
Sometimes I wish that you were dead
Sometimes I wish
Sometimes I wish that you were dead

Sometimes I wish that you were dead
That is because you haunt me so
I wasn't right to let you go away
I tried to kill the pain inside
But you are always on my mind
No matter where I go or stay

. . .


I've been searching for so long
Now I'm chasing the shadows away
I've been trying, yes I tried to find my way
No more crying in the make or break decade
There were times when I was down
There were times I felt so low
My whole life just seemed to be
A senseless quest for energy

But I carry your flame
All through my life, I'm a believer
Peace deep in our hearts, all things must pass
But we'll be together again

I've been walking
I've been walking in the rain
When the angel of my intuition whispered hello
Well I was quite surprised to face that kind of incarnation
Love comes always unexpected, love strikes blind and undirected
Love is the answer
Love is all we need my friend
Now you came and changed the wheather
Now I wanna live forever

. . .


the gentle taste of orange
a garden of fruit and flowers
is what i embrace
is what i embrace

in ocean blue eyes
in each one's an island
i'm stranded within your love
i'm stranded within your love

and as i fall deeper than ever
and as we kiss
we're each other's guide
we're each other's guide
into the unknown

where men do not return
where men do not forget
the sweetest suicide
as if we don't exist

where men do not return
where men do not forget
the sweetest suicide
as if we don't exist but live

but live

the presence of angels
the inscense of Indochine
the quietness of movements
the slowness of Africa

a point of know return
no way out of here
nothing compares to you
anything goes

and as i breathe
deeper than ever
i'm coming home
i'm coming home to the unknown

where men do not return
where men do not forget
the sweetest suicide
as if we don't exist

where men do not return
where men do not forget
the sweetest suicide
as if we don't exist but live

but live

. . .


pretty baby, don't you know, times they are a changin'
every little moment we grow up we lose control
life's a loaded gun with no directions and it keeps you on the run
it has no mercy

mum and daddy went to war
never coming back no more
did you ever think they'd make you whole again
maybe someone dropped a bomb
just right into the middle of your soul
they're in control

you got to get out of control again
you got to get out of control again
no more control again
you're getting whole again
ain't no control again
you got to get out of control

20th century honey bee, what you're doing is what you'll be
life's no dress rehearsal when you bring the honey in
everything seems wrong to thee, nurtured from the poison of reality
that has no mercy

all your friends went for the thrill, now it's yours to grab the kill
did you ever think you're getting whole again
maybe someone send a priest with some religion cooking in a bowl
they're in control

you got to get out of control again
you got to get out of control again
no more control again
you're getting whole again
ain't no control again
you got to get out of control

what's the fucking thing about control
did you think you'd ever getting whole
just as long as there is no control
they have no control of you at all

you got to get out of control again
you got to get out of control again
no more control again
you're getting whole again
ain't no control again
you got to get out of control

. . .


People buzzing around, they don't know a thing
They just a laugh and the ones in power
Are always pulling the strings
People do what they do, how much can they take
They just get the news and the ones in power always get the cake

But you got ambition, you got the face, come on,
Let's go to a dangerous place
You got the class, I think you're desperate
Let's go to a dangerous place
Come on - let's go, come on - let's go, come on...

I promise this thing will sell, I promise I'll take you to heaven
I promise this thing will sell, And I just can't wait

You have your plans, all these plans
And there are moments, shall I call them a chance
If I was you I would make them all mine
And if I ain't got the power I would commit a crime

Buy you got ambition... I promise this thing will sell...

I'm gonna make you a deal, you know your friend
I'm gonna stay with you until the very end
I know you got the guts, I got a lot of time
I'm gonna make me yours before I make you mine

. . .


Hate, lust, soul, rage

You're so full of hate
You're so full of lust
You're so full of soul
You're so full of rage

Spirit of the age
Spirit of the age
Spirit of the age
Spirit of the age
Spirit of the age

Here comes the voodoo king
Here comes a powerful man
My face on every frontpage
My plans for everyone

I reason your existence
That is what I want to be
Your whore and your messiah
If you believe in me

I'm not a true creator
I'm just a cheap reflection
I'm the incarcerator
Of anyone's conception

But if you read my lips
Just on your own behalf
I'll be a remedy
Not just an epitaph

You're so full of hate
You need a vacation
So full of lust
You need liberation
You need damnation
You need salvation
You're so full of rage

Spirit of the age
Spirit of the age
Spirit of the age
Spirit of the age
Spirit of the age

Here comes the new religion
Of everything you are
My sword is your conviction
My voice your media

I'm here to justify you
That's what I want to do
I don't believe in visions
But I believe in you

Here comes the voodoo king
Here comes a powerful man
My face on every frontpage
My plans for everyone

I'm here to satisfy you
That's what I want to be
Your whore and your messiah
If you believe in me

You're so full of crime
You wipe out a nation
So full of sex
You're a sensation

You need damnation
you need salvation
You're so full of fear

You're so full of hate,
You need a vacation
You're so full of lust
You need liberation
You need damnation
You need salvation
You're so full of rage

Spirit of the age
Spirit of the age
Spirit of the age
Spirit of the age

You're so full of hate
You're so full of lust
You're so full of soul
You're so full of rage

You're so full of hate
You're so full of lust
You're so full of soul
You're so full of rage

Spirit of the age
Spirit of the age
Spirit of the age
Spirit of the age
Spirit of the age

. . .


There is too much confusion
Much too much impact of obscene terror
I wonder why I'm still surfing
On this wave of obsession
Is there a reason to stay any longer
Waiting for some cool messiah
Give me a reason to stay here forever
Waiting for something to come
Is it my soul?
Is it that glimpse of light I never forget to expect?
Or is it you, some kind of angel
That keeps me in waiting forever?
There's too much war on the ouside
Much too much impact of symbols and meanings
I wonder why I'm still fighting in this ocean of questions
Is there a reason to stay any longer?
Waiting for something to come
Give me a reason to stay on this island
Waiting for something to come

. . .


Once, we were together
Once we were one
Once we were running, we knew where we came from
We were the music, we heard the call
We were giants after the fall
Once we were children
Once we were so small

To the new horizons I cast my eyes
When I look at you reaching out to the new horizons
Once and today
Once and today

Once, we were divided, once we lost our sight
Once, we were freezing in the TV light
You are a rainbow, you're looking fine
Shall we make it one more time?

To the new horizons I cast my eyes
When I look at you reaching out to the new horizons
Once and today
Once and today
You are a rainbow

. . .


So you hugged the globe
Now it's whirling too fast
I really got no hope to hang on to the past
The train has departed, the toxins have started
To accounce that none will last

I cower in the gutter of a world that's not so near
And I listen to their mutters that are spinning through the air
The words unspoken, the promises broken
And the ones who really care

I'm the watcher of the scene
I see our shadows on the screen
And when the subway brakes to preserve some suicidal bee
I stop to breathe for a while
Maybe it was me

This is the world gliding by
Like the driftwood beams
On a lifetime's stream
The instant fundamental sky for Pandora's Lullaby

I see distored faces coined like gold
And in their wrinkles programs that commercial gurus told
A watermark against a spark
Umbrellas that they hold

I'm gliding in the distance and watch the world go by
An orbit full of questions, a perforated sky
Buy I just sit and wonder a bit that tehy never wonder why

. . .


Life's a garden
Life is king
Life is all
And everything

Life is golden
Life is fair
Like a rainbow in your hair
Life's a once fantastic light

Life is shining in the night
Life's a fire from above
Life is you
And life is love

Life is golden
Life is king
Life is all and everything
Nothing to believe in

It's just there
Without a care
And no religion
Than the enigma of love
Life is king

Life's a poison much too strong
Makes you running on and on
Life's a drug and not your friend
Life will kill you in the end

Life is smooth
And life is friction
Life is such a contradiction
Life is god
And god needs lives
Life's a billion battlecries
Life is golden

once I was so sure
once I was so blind
wonder what you said
if you read my mind
windmill burning down
fool upon a hill
raincoats in the streets
signal overkill
comets coming down
trains are overdue
except what we forgot
nothing's really new
needle in the eye
prophet in a box
devil with a cross
jesus on the rocks

demon underground
footprints in the fog
ghost without a face
magog monolog
flower in a word
words without a priest
wings without a bird
beauty without beast
holographic smile
fool upon a hill
data never die
signal overkill

letters in the rain
rabbit on the run
god was made for you
lizards on the sun
monkey in the moon
girl with a cigar
scarecrows in the fields
angel in a car
message understood?
head above the clouds
ocean overview
message understood?
I can see for miles
I can see you through

once I was so sure
once I was so blind
wonder what you said
if you read my mind
letters in the rain
message understood?
I can see her
yes I do, sir
message understood?
