1. LANDING

When daylight and nighttime feel the same
It's time for your mind to play a game
Close all your eyes and touch the air
Reach for a hand that must be there
You know how it fools you
And you know how it is
To be one of those people
Who don't know what they miss
You can hide away from reality
And escape

Yesterday I felt it
And the first thing I thought
Never let go
I held it as close as I could
When it didn't grow like it should
And then, after hours, I opened my head
I found myself back on the floor near my bed
Nothing has changed, it was all the same again
The same again

When daylight and nighttime feel the same
It's time for your mind to play a game
Close all your eyes and touch the air
Reach for a hand that must be there
You know how it fools you
And you know how it is
To be one of those people
Who don't know what they miss
You can hide away from reality
But you can't escape


2. SONG OF A DEVIL'S SERVANT

Call my name and I'll be there
To serve your majesty everywhere
No instruction is too much for me
Execute his order, like in a bad dream
Ah, ah, ah,...

There's no use to run and hide
For his eyes are open wide
And when he finds you
Those eyes will burn into your soul

I sold my life, without thinkin' twice
But instead of fortune he gave me lies
I'm facing hell to eternity
The only way out is suicide for me
Ah, ah, ah,...


3. ONE HUGE ROAD

Sunshine, I'm late back and happy
I wish I could stay here forever
When the sun's gone
I just can't be lazy
Movin' on, to see my baby
So I pack my things and I'm going
The highway, going on my way

Gotta move on, the road is much too long, too long
One huge road for one, one huge road for one


4. EVERYDAY'S TORTURE

You're my everyday's torture
You're a burnin' light
When dark times surround me
You're my love, you're my fight

You're my everyday's torture
That's what no one denies
My spirit, my splendour
Did I loose, tell me why

I'm a man, know my destiny
But it seems, love is dead for me
I'm hung up on a woman's resolution
There's nothing left but a dream, an illusion
I'm a man, know my destiny
But it seems, love is dead for me
Free me, free me

I saw you powerful, I saw you happy
But I only lived for myself
God, I need you so badly
But I expect no help

You're my everyday's torture
The gun at my head
My everyday's torture
The knife at my chest

I'm a man, know my destiny
But it seems, love is dead for me
I'm hung up on a woman's resolution
There's nothing left but a dream, an illusion
I'm a man, know my destiny
But it seems, love is dead for me
Free me, free me


5. EIGHT MILES HIGH

Eight miles high
And when you touch down
You'll find that it's stranger than known

Signs in the street
That say where you're going
Are somewhere, just being there own

Nowhere is their warmth to be found
Among those afraid of losing their ground
Rain, gray town, known for it's sound
In places, small faces unbound

'Round the squares, huddled in storms
Some laughing, some just shapeless forms
Sidewalks scenes and black limousines
Some living, some standing alone
