EVERY TEAR DRIES

 

 

Children Of The Damned

They all were friends in the neighbourhood

They used to play in the nearby wood

But all these memories are so far away

Changing times did not let them stay

 

It´s all over now

(Nothing´s like before)

It´s all over now

(Memories fade and the mind gets empty)

 

Men in uniforms appeared at home

They killed their parents, left the kids alone

Approaching footsteps of the former friends

Scanning war cries they don´t understand

 

Deprieved of their childhood dreams

The weakest of the refugees

 

Children of the damned

 

Battered houses line their endless way

burning ruins where they used to play

They´ll never laugh like they laughed before

The innocence have always lost a war

 

Greed of power killed their dreams

The weakest of the refugees

 

Children of the damned

(Words & Music: Ingo Klemens)

 

Lords Of The Dark Horizon

Cold, dark, black horizon

Frozen faces on a frozen sea

Shades of figures wearing black satin

All in silence following, following me

 

I want to run but my legs don't move

I turn around to the figures in black

I close my eyes but I see their faces

I know there's no turning back

 

Lords of the dark horizon

Lords of the frozen sea

Lords of the dark horizon

Lords of eternity

 

I try to avoid their eyes

But their looks cut through my brain

I know I reached the edge of mind

Every escape will be in vain

 

Lords of the dark horizon

Lords of the frozen sea

Lords of the dark horizon

Lords of eternity

(Words & Music: Ingo Klemens)

 

 

Never

Times runs slowly in this room

I'm made of marble, cold and white

All my life had gone forever

My heart stopped beating

 

I hold your letter in my hand

I never knew that words could kill

I know you'll never understand

Just how 1 feel

 

Long time ago you cried Please care for me

Hold me in your arms, let the feelings flow

Feel it in your heart never let me go, NEVER

Long time ago you filled my heart with love

I began to live, let the feelings flow

Felt it in my heart never let you go, NEVER

 

You were the fire in my life

The only torch for my desire

You listened to me when I was down

I never cared of

 

The ceiling seems to press me down

I stare at spiders on the wall

The paper glides out of my hand

I've lost again

(Words & Music: Ingo Klemens)

 

 

 

Waiting

Where is your smile

Your innocence

Where is your pride to survive

 

The girl I knew

Enjoyed her life

But now there´s death in your eyes

 

But I´ll be waiting, waiting for you

Waiting for you to come

I´ll be waiting, waiting for you

I´ll be waiting...

 

You look at me

Face in disguise

Small black spots on your soul

 

You know you just have to say a word

And I will take you

Out of this world

 

So I´ll be waiting, waiting for you

Waiting for you to come

I´ll be waiting , waiting for you

I´ll be waiting...

(Words & Music: Ingo Klemens)

 

 

Marionettes

You think I'm alive? But just look at me

Strings out of the dark pull on my knees

They shake my head, control what I'm doing

Things I say, they choose the words

See me dancing, walking on wooden legs

But you won't see me cry, won't see me cry

Now look at yourself, search for the strings

on your arms

Aren't you the same, controlled

by the men in the dark?

They fill your head, give you a character

Strangle your brain prison your mind

See them pulling, shaking your wooden thoughts

But you won't cry, you won't cry

We all are MARIONETTES,

depending on force in disguise

Smiling and laughing,

walking on strings through our lives...

(Words & Music: Ingo Klemens)

 

 

Desert Song

Terrible heat in the empty desert

Holloweyed shapes with reeling steps

Nothing to see but the lost horizon

Nothing to feel while your body sweats

 

A doomed caravan walking through the sand

Slaves for working in a foreign land

Expecting nothing but fear and pain

They´ll never be free,

They´ll never se home again

 

No water, no place with shadow

Every tear dries before it falls

Badly treated by the cruel riders

They sell your bodies and send them to hell

 

A doomed caravan walking through the sand

slaves for working in a foreign land

Expecting nothing but fear and pain

They´ll never be free, they´ll never se home again

 

So keep on walking...

(Words & Music: Ingo Klemens)

 

 

God?

Behind the gate with reliefs of thousand sins

A frozen face, sanctity with furrowed skin

My eyes are ranging the holy walls 'round here

I listen chants of hope

But crying is all I can hear

 

 Before my eyes a wall of crosses reaches the sky

The holy sign, it's always been the reason why

My soul is floating the holy walls 'round here

I read words of help

But crying is all I can hear!

 

Churches of gold, cathedrals reach the sky

Millions are wasted while millions die!

(Words & Music: Ingo Klemens)

 

 

Silently

Dark is in your eyes

Your lips so pale

All of your disguisehas gone

 

Beauty fades away

Leaves your face

It´s too late to say you´re wrong

 

I wish you would awake

Wrap your arms around me

Hold me tight

Silently

 

You thought you´d had the strengh

To stand alone

But did you realize it all?

 

Betrayed by a world

Of broken promises

Defeated in a war you couldn´t win

 

I wish you would awake

Wrap your arms around me

Hold me tight

Silently

 

Don´t you look at me

Smile at me

Was it worth to end this way

 

Now I have to go

Leave you here

SILENTLY

(Words & Music: Ingo Klemens)

 

 

Shine On

Time went by so fast I can't explain

The sunshine in our life tumed into rain

I look outside the window see the walls

But when you really leave me I will fall

 

Don't leave me here

Answer my tears, oh

Please shine on

Don't fade away

 

You said that I would hold you in a cage

But I just tried to let you here to stay

Nobody sets my soul on fire like you do

I never wanted anything but you

 

Don't leave me here

Answer my tears, oh

Please shine on

Don't fade away

(Words & Music: Ingo Klemens)

 

 

A Normal Day

I wake up, it´s four ´o clock

Dreams try to get me back into sleep again

I look out of the window watch the falling rain

The siren of an ambulance tells me

Someone´s dying again

 

I´m trying to eat but I don´t want anything

Listening to the music of the girl next door again

I try to remember the night before

Staring at the broken picture on the floor again

 

I remember the day when I met you

You showed me all the spheres of love

All the good and the bad times we went through

I just can´t throw them all away

On this rainy day

 

Later you call me, crying at the phone

You tell me that you don´t love me any more again

I try to get used to be alone

I won´t believe that you would hit me

To the core again

 

(Again and again)

This is one day, a normal day

(You won´t harden yourself)

It´s always the same

(You will always find reasons for her to excuse)

I don´t know what to do now

How could you refuse

(Words & Music: Ingo Klemens)

 

 

Harriet

You picked me up barely alive

My heart was wounded I wanted to hide

I promised myself 'Never do mistakes twice!'

My holy vow did only last four days

 

I never thought I could survive

You took my heart in overdrive

 

You've got a magic touch, Harriet

Childish confidence in your eyes Harriet Harriet

Never never never never loose your smile Harriet,

Harriet

 

I looked up into your face

I´ll never forget the consoling words you said

You took my hand and we walked a while

All my doubt melting in your sunny smile

 

I never thought I could survive

You put new sense into my life

 

You've got a magic touch...

 

It's not just sympathy but love

That's what you said to me

I saw it in your eyes

The cutest smile I've ever seen

(Words & Music: Ingo Klemens)

 

 

Waiting For John Wayne

Neighbours fight in battles to the knife

Friends wearing different uniforms

One half of the world speaks about peace

While the other kills each other in a war

 

 

Tribes answer freedom with anarchy

Atomic weapons in the hands of maniacs

Those who try to mediate are shouted down

'Cause hunger cries louder than fear

 

 

But we, we wonder who's the champion

But we, we don't care 'bout the pain

But we, we're waiting for the lottery

But we, we're waiting for John Wayne

 

 

Weapons are secretly sold into war zones

Governments sometimes rely on drugs

Thousands of people die in tidal waves

Who cares they've got more than enough

 

But we,...

(Words & Music: Ingo Klemens)
