MANDERLEY
Manderley She had been here before you She was the only one She was a goddess of beauty She possessed the one you love
When you see the painting with her staring eyes When you wear her dress you feel in disguise When you mention her name it´s like a fatal curse Everything around seems to depend on her
See the flames spread to the roof and reach the sky (Manderley) The fire will be the end of all the lies
He has got a deadly secret He never spoke about her He is trying to forget her He had been suppressed by her
When you´re at the shore in the shed of wood When you knew the truth you could have understood You don´t understand why he ignores the past You don´t understand that it was hate, not love
See the flames spread to the roof and reach the sky (Manderley) The fire will be the end of all the lies (Words and music: Ingo Klemens)
Mistress Of The Dawn It was a gloomy night, my guard had just begun When she appeared before my eyes Like a fairy in a lore of dragons, kings and knights With long black hair and a robe in shiny white
She took my hand and looked into my eyes A glance of sorrow that seems to mesmerize
Oh mistress of the dawn come and save my soul Your childlike beauty heals my fear Give mercy to a sinful life, help me to survive Hold me close and seal my fate before you disappear
I left my gun behind and stepped into the night Endless darkness on our way But then some groaning voices let me get in fright She held me closer and I heard her pray:
"Shadows of the fallen ones, appear and take this life Take this soul into the dark, I brought what you desired!"
Oh mistress of the dawn, you victimized my soul Your childlike beauty makes me fear Give mercy to my sinful life, help me to escape Let me go and seal my fate before you disappear
And she looked into my eyes A tear ran down her face "It´s not in me to help you now Your regrets have come to late" (Words and music: Ingo Klemens)
Locked In It´s cold in here, but I don´t shiver I hear a voice, it says my name I want to speak, my lips don´t move What happened, what have I to do?
Inside my brain there´s noise and hammering but why do they ignore my view I want to shout, but there´s no voice I realize there´s nothing I can move
They´re at my bed and I can hear them speak They wear white coats and shake their heads "Look here, it´s me!" I want to whisper "Help me out of here, out of this trap!"
Does anybody hear the screams out of my captured mind? Who´ll break the chains that lock me in Like on a stage within a golden cage
They leave the room, the light´s put out Silence in here, my head´s still burning Will I ever return to normality Will they ever understand my yearning
Does anybody hear the screams out of my captured mind? Who´ll break the chains that lock me in Like on a stage within a golden cage (Words and music: Ingo Klemens)
Willow Black night, endless silence in the deep dark moore The wanderer is frightened by a cold wet claw It graps his neck and a voice speaks into his ears Come with me, I get you out of here
And far away A sparkling light appears So warm and bright To lead you out of here
Don´t trust the willow in the deep dark night Don´t go the way it shows you with its light Wait for the morning when the sun awakes the day Don´t trust the willow on your way
The wanderer turns around but it´s noone there His reeling steps drag him forward, he don´t cares The shimmering comes nearer, it seems to light the trees But then he feels the cold swamp creeping up his knees
And at his side A sparkling light appears The warm light straight from hell To get its victim here
Don´t trust the willow in the deep dark night Don´t go the way it shows you with its light Wait for the morning when the sun awakes the day Don´t trust the willow on your way
And again the cold claw graps his neck There´s no way out of here, there´s no turning back
Don´t trust the willow... (Words and music: Ingo Klemens)
This Life In a world of fear and hate It´s now the time to stride the gate I´ll close my eyes and see the lights Thousands of lost souls flickering bright
So I send a kiss to the drowning sun A last goodbye before the step is done
And I will spread my wings And send my soul to fly Behind the final gate I´ll leave my life behind Leave the snowy hills behind me high above the deep blue sky Shouting out my pain and nightmares Never coming back to live this life
I was lost in lies and anger hopelessness controlled my heart Never thought of what could happen When a life is torn apart I built a wall of hesitation Grabbing all that I could get Falling back down in frustration Without a chance of fighting back
And so I found myself in endless fear Before I drown I must get out of here
So I will spread my wings... (Words and music: Ingo Klemens)
Stern In dieser Welt da scheint mein Leben von Schmerz und Leiden stets verschont. Und niemand wagt es zu erahnen, daß hier ein finsterer Schatten wohnt
Daß in der Hülle, die da scheint als ob nur Freude ihr entspringt, ein schwarzes Loch stets um sich greift, eine Seel´ ums Überleben ringt.
Doch irgendwo in finsterer Nacht scheint ein Stern für mich in seiner Pracht. Er scheint für mich, für all mein Leid und träumt wie ich von Geborgenheit
Was ist es, was mich dazu bringt sobald Menschen mich umringen und Wörter wie aus Strömen fließen in eine Rolle mich zu zwingen
Doch irgendwo in finsterer Nacht scheint ein Stern für mich in seiner Pracht. Er scheint für mich, für all mein Leid und träumt wie ich von Geborgenheit
Das ist mein Leben und mein Fluch: Ein Auge lacht, das andere weint. Und mein Mund in Deinem Auge immerfort zu lächeln scheint.
Doch irgendwo in finsterer Nacht scheint ein Stern für mich in seiner Pracht. Er scheint für mich, für all mein Leid und träumt wie ich von Geborgenheit
Doch irgendwo in finsterer Nacht scheint ein Stern für mich in seiner Pracht. Er weint für mich, für all mein Leid und träumt wie ich von Zärtlichkeit (Words: Thomas Rainer, Music: Hannes Medwenitsch)
Realities Silence in your room, you look into my eyes Everything seems hopeless, the mind is hypnotised The words spoken long ago, their meaning´s blown away Where have all the feelings gone, seized with decay
Icy shivers run my neck and pierce into my heart Painless sensible sensations while it´s torn apart Strange music far away, hadn´t that been our song? An always spinning question stings: how did it all come wrong?
I see the pictures on the wall, memories without worth Tales of feelings far away, now love is just a word There´s no more time to rue the things that I´ve done wrong I´ve lost the game but without you my life will never be the same
Inside my heart the beatings stop, I´m not afraid to die Motionless my eyes go down, it´s no time to cry (Words and music: Ingo Klemens)
Devil Dance In the shade of the trees there´s a murmuring Tapping feet and glimmering eyes All the creatures hidden whilst the daylight Join the darkest hour of the night
And they gather all around the fire Blazing flames light their eyes Stomping claws and yelling screams Raise the demon up into the sky
And they all put their hands up And hear their master´s chant Listen his conjuration And do the devil dance
All the fallen, all the hopeless lives In the circle of the mighty dark In this hour when the master´s calling They´re all to open their empty heart
And they gather all around the fire Where the demon spreads his wings A flaming sword risen to the black sky Hallowed be the name of the beast within
And the ecstasy gets higher Bodies shaking, dancing ´round the fire And the demon sows his seed Until the dawn lights the sky
And all the creatures hide When the first rays of light come crawling And they wait for the night to come When the demon´s calling
Then they will raise their hands And hear their master´s chant Listen his conjuration And do the devil dance (Words and music: Ingo Klemens)
Stay By My Side So you think your youth had gone too soon You think you should bevail the past But did you really miss the joy in life Did you live your life too fast?
Look at your friends, they all have changed a bit They got older, live their lives But did they change in what you see in them? Eternal youth lives deep within
Let your life flow like a river Through the valleys slow and bright Feel the shelter of the mountains Don´t look back stay by my side
There may be times when you´ll be sad and down There may be times you want to cry I will be with you help you stand it all There´s no need to say goodbye
Let your life flow like a river Through the valleys slow and bright Feel the shelter of the mountains Don´t look back stay by my side (Words and music: Ingo Klemens)
