1. UNTOUCHABLE

She looked into my eyes and stole my cigarette.
Then she leaned forward , her lips were warm and wet.
The bar was closing down so we walked out in the night.
We exchanged commitments in the cold sphere of a street light.
And she was beautiful like the eastern sea.
She was unexploited like the world to me

When she said she loved me it touched my heart.
I just couldn't see that she was playing a part.
That night there was trouble in the middle east.
And the whole fucking world was gathering for the feast.
While they tried to figure out who was foe or friend.
Thousands of children saw their childhoods end.

Accusations and threats from the men in power.
Their all quite safe in their golden towers
While Washington and Kreml was chatting over the phone.
Thousands of children where standing alone.
Alone again in my one room flat. My Telly showing a boy eating a rat.

Their blockade is working what do i care.
A country is starving it doesn't seem fair.
I switched channels staring at the phone.
Never before have I felt this alone.
I checked again but the line was still open.
She promised to call a promise was broken.

Squeezing the ring around my finger (never felt so helpless)
She said love but meant a dead ringer.
On a subway station in the outskirts of town,
a young boy was killed with a knife.
Kids were fighting, a young girls raped.
And some asshole is molesting his wife.

And i just lost the love of my life. For whom are the tears in my eyes.
There is no justification for this ego fixation
but at least i´m not giving you lies


2. THE STORM

There´s a storm coming up tonight
Thick black clouds rolling in from the sea
You better lock your door tonight
Just stay inside

As the rain falls from the sky
And the wind howling through your window
Can you feel the winds of change tonight

It´s rolling in sweeps like a wave
Just like a nightmare it takes you away

There´s a storm coming up tonight
You better find a shelter and hide
Cause the storm gonna take you if you
Running around like a blind man

And when the thunder starts to roar
And the lightning cuts like a bright sharp knife
The earth gonna starts to tremble like a giant volcano

The mighty wave rolling
A huge inferno the world spins

Trees and dirt raining from the sky
Cars and houses turned upside down
I see people and animals flee for their lives

I feel a silent scream begin inside
When I see the chaos it´s roots my mind
The death is among us and he comes like a raging tornado

The mighty wave rolling'
A huge inferno the world spins

As the rain falls from the sky
And the wind howling through your window
Can you feel the winds of change tonight

It´rollin´in sweeps like a wave
Just like a nightmare it takes you away


3. ETERNAL SHADOWS

There´s a picture , on the skyline
There´s a whisper in the wind
Northern landscape , giant forests
Can´t you tell me where to begin

You´re still dancing in the shadows
I keep watching from the ground
Distant gestures from your journey
Makes me wonder what I stayed behind

And if this world would be heaven
You´ll be here tonight
When your journey is over it´s all over
Let me help you fight , that´s right

Distant echoes sounds of laughter
Metropolis burns again
Misunderstanding in a glance
Hasted words bring tears and , rain

And if this world would be heaven
You´ll be here tonight
When your journey is over it´s all over
Let me help you fight , that´s right

Early morning late October
Frozen shadows from last night
Northern landscape giant forests
Please do help me to do it right
Do it right


4. ON THE NORTH SHORE Pt 2

It was a misty morning on the north shore
And I had just woke up from a terrifying nightmare

Sweating and shivering and my head full of questions
I had been running through a weird dream

and nothing was like it seemed

Future dreams walk on bye
They´re pouring over me I wonder why

I got out of bed with a strange feeling in my mind
I saw an obscure face in my dream that I knew I´d seen before

Then like a sudden stroke of lightning
I remembered the magicians face but in another time and another place

Future dreams walk on bye
They´re pouring over me I wonder why

Future dreams a pain in my soul
Please come thru my distant dream

I had to clear my mind so I ran from the house
I was heading . . . .
And when I got there
I thought that the future was gleaming , like a dim light

And while I walked in the shallow water
With my pale and fading memories , I suddenly stopped

What was it the necromancer said that night
In his castle beyond imagination

When he turned his magical cards
And looked on me with his old , but clear blue eyes

Future dreams walk on bye
They´re pouring over me I wonder why

Future dreams a pain in my soul
Please come thru my distant dream

To be or not to be that is the question
Yes but to be what , when or who is my question

But I never get any answers
Wherever I ask or whoever I asking
The life is a disappointment and a big deceit

It´s full of broken promises

Future dreams walk on bye
They´re pouring over me I wonder why

Future dreams a pain in my soul
Please come thru my distant dream


5. SUBMISSION

Drop outs

She wakes up with wonder
And fragments from yesterdays night
Her heart is full of anger
But her head just can´t get it right

She´s on her fifteenth year
And she´s ready got blackouts
She´s on her fifteenth year
Were will that lead from here

Last nights hero has suddenly lost his charm
She feels trapped in his embrace
So she gently just move his arm

She´s on her fifteenth year
And she´s ready got blackouts
She´s on her fifteenth year
Were will it lead from here...

Behind her shelter

And she´s got roses in her window
And a cat is her best friend
She´s never taking chances
Always worried to offend

And she´s got leather on her body
But silk inside her heart
And if her dad had time to listen
He would have made a better start

To get behind her shelter
She dreams behind her shelter
Get behind her shelter , she dreams behind her shelter

And she dreams a lot
And she cries a lot....

Walking in circles

Late on Friday nights
They used to meat downtown
It´s their idea of fun
Screaming , making noise
Smoking , discussing boys

And the little girl with big blue eyes surrender to the night
Deciding only to do what´s right

She always lives in her dreams
Always walking in circles

She tries to do what's right
But there's to many rules
Both at home and in school
She escapes , to paperback novels
Meets another worlds
Things she never heard

And the life she lives
Seems more and more unreal
Until she almost cannot feel

She always lives in her dreams
Always walking in circles
She always lives in her dreams
Always walking in circles

You shouldn´t come around

Her parents said that they couldn´t cope with her
and her strange friends
So they got her a small flat and even helped her pay the rent
But the money came in letters with no messages inside
And when she tried to contact them
they told her what they had decide

You shouldn´t come around here
You shouldn´t come around here no more
You shouldn´t come around here
You shouldn´t come around here no more

She didn´t do so well in school , she didn´t do so well anywhere
But it kept her occupied just to figure out what to wear
She got all her friends there they helped her to keep her mind
But the headmaster decided she was only wasting time

You shouldn´t come around here
You shouldn´t come around here no more
You shouldn´t come around here
You shouldn't come around here no more

Where should she go...

Black orchids

They sneak around like rats
In old empty houses
And their only interest is
To make their slow suicide undisturbed
She recognized herself
Paid for but forgotten
Her new friends helped her
And soon she was submerged

She wouldn´t listen to me
Why can´t she listen to me
Please listen to me...

Worshiping the needle

She say I don´t know nothing
She say I stretch my mouth when I talk
She say I have no experience
It seems I´ve only just learned how to walk

But I´ve seen a mother with a child that´s no larger than a rat
And I know the reason why
Mother shared her life with a man they called the bat
He sold to afford to buy

Am I wrong , she´s worshiping the needle
And I don´t know if I´m wrong
She´s worshiping the needle
And I don´t know what to do

I´ve seen a thousands faces
Marked by a thousands changes , all gone
Peoples with visions , people with dreams all gone

I´ve seen people that was only skin and bone
Signs of death in a face
The rides we take to patch up our borling lives
Could wipe out the human race

Am I wrong , she´s worshiping the needle
And I don´t know if I´m wrong
She´s worshiping the needle
And I don´t know what to do...

End of story

She only goes out at night
Looking for someone to hold her tight
It doesn't mean much anyway
She sells her body away
She´s gotta make it pay

So she crawls out of her dreams
She can´t do without them it seems
She wants to get inside her head
So she stays in her bed
And she´s letting her lifeblood flow . . . .


6. NEWS

Left Avalon when the moon had turned red
Crashed in my bed , must have hurt my head
Cause I feels like it´s already to submerge
With the shades of gray

When I open my eyes , the sun tries to bust in
If you drinking enough , you only get thirsty
I cant really move until the headache is passing away

I´ve been sent to this country that no one heard about
To satisfy your needs of torture and murder
They have a crazy dictator who´s counting what he´s got
A radical guerilla who´s fighting for the cause they forgot
Won´t someone show me mercy

I´ve been shot at and beaten can you tell me what for
I´m not part of their foney war
They always kill the bartender at my favourite cantina
Just when I have thought them to make a decent Dry Martini
Won´t someone show me mercy

I went here with a dream
A ambitions for myself
All that I´ve completed
Was running my health

What am I doing here , if there´s a place for me
I´m not there

I wanted to write a book
That would be remembered when I´m gone
when I´m gone
Now I´m sending short messages
On the telephone

What am I doing here
If there´s a place for me , I´m not there. . . .


7. WILD OCEAN

The sea was boiling with rage
A lighthouse sent out a gloomy sign
The waves was smashing with hate
Against the rocky shoreline

A little ship was caught in the storm
By the oceans cruel games
They saw the sign from the beacon
And they knew what it was saying

The men was shivering with fear
For Mother natures cold despite
A priest on the boat looked to the sky , screaming
Why..?

For the last time you could
Hear the little boat blow it's horn
Closer and closer to the shoreline with it's sharp stones

They couldn't turn they couldn't stop
And there was nowhere to run
The waves was screaming out it's victory
As if they knew who had won

For the last time you could
Hear the little boat blow it's horn
Closer and closer to the shoreline with it's sharp stones

The ship was smashed in thousands pieces by the powerful storm
Ocean in ecstasy. . . .


8. FLYING HIGH + EPILOGUE

I was standing on the mountain top
Dreamin´ of an eagle
Looking across the rocky landscape
I could feel my spirit leaving

Gilding on the high warm winds
Through this desert land
Restless like an old ghost
Lost in another sphere

High , I´m flying high
I don´t care if I live or if I die
High , I´m flying high
Does life have to be a lie

Maybe I´m just a nostalgic fool
That can´t see the decline
Or have I just been subjected to
A grim joke somewhere down the line

And even if I live through the despair
Alone this cruel hard land
Still restless like an old ghost
Still lost in another sphere

High , I´m flying high
I don´t care if I live or if I die
High , I´m flying high
Does life have to be a lie

Running through a nightmare
Don´t know if I dare
My wings they are broken
I´m a ship without sea

High , I´m flying high
I don´t care if I live or if I die
High , I´m flying high
Does life have to be a lie


My soul lifted , I was sailing high
Wonderful and floating

But after the storm
My wings were torn , torn to pieces

As well as I and my inmost forwardness
Was torn to pieces
Ripped to shreds
Because the cloth were made of paper

And I was no more . . . .
