so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said: There is no reason
And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be

One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well been closed

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale



Save my soul

(Pesch/Balin)

I was tempted like a desperate child
Sent out in the world to taste it
It was colder than steel, frozen in fields
Emptied by the turning of pages

Falling like stone
Over and over
Falling alone
Hold on, hold on

Love will save my soul someday
Love will save my soul someday
Take me away, take me so far away
Love will save my soul someday

I was trusted like a heart of gold
Walked out on this earth to make it
I'm badder than bad, stronger than sad
Harder than the rock of ages

Falling like stone
Over and over
Falling alone
Hold on, hold on

Love will save my soul someday
Love will save my soul someday
Take me away, take me so far away
Love will save my soul someday

Falling like stone
Over and over
Falling alone
Hold on, holding on

Love will save my soul someday
Love will save my soul someday
Take me away, take me so far away

Love will save my soul
Love will save my soul
Love will save my soul someday



World gone wild

(Pesch/Balin)

There's a flaming hole in the society
A billion souls without destiny
Living, loving, crying

Feeding the system, starving your life
Polish the prison, sharpen the knife
Living, loving, dying

Everybody keeps moving on and on
Never seeing anything that could be wrong

The world's gone wild
The world's gone wild again
The world's gone wild
You can almost feel the end

Listen, sister, load your pistol
The world's gone wild

We're losing hold of our sanity
Tempting fate with our fantasies
Living, loving, crying

We're selling secrets and telling lies
We're face to face with no alibis
Living, loving, dying

Everybody keeps moving on and on
Never seeing anything that could be wrong

The world's gone wild
The world's gone wild again
The world's gone wild
You can almost feel the end

Listen, sister, load your pistol
The world's gone wild

The world's gone wild
The world's gone wild
The world's gone wild
The world's gone wild

The world's gone wild
The world's gone wild again
The world's gone wild
You can almost feel the end

Listen, sister, load your pistol
The world's gone wild



Mission of mercy

(Pesch/Balin)

Walking on the wire
Living on the edge of time
Lost in our desires
We're never satisfied

Waiting for the wonder
You could really lose your mind
'Cause fate is no hunter
And fear can only make you blind

We're hiding so much pain
But it is all in vain
Living, lying for a

Mission of mercy
Rescue me and I will be your
Mission of mercy
Set me free and I can be your

Mission of mercy
Mission of mercy

Drowning in emotions
Trying to swim against the tide
The devil is in motion
And someone's always sacrificed

We're hiding so much pain
But it is all in vain
Living, lying for a

Mission of mercy
Rescue me and I will be your
Mission of mercy
Set me free so I can be your

Mission of mercy
Mission of mercy

We're hiding so much pain
But it is all in vain
Living, lying for a

Mission of mercy
Rescue me and I will be your
Mission of mercy
Set me free so I can be your

Mission of mercy
Mission of mercy
Mission of mercy
Mission of mercy



Angels with dirty faces

(Pesch/Balin)

See my soul as desire
Catch the words as they fall from my lips
Feel the passion grow higher
Lick the sweat from my fingertips

Be my love
Beware! My love is strange
Be my love
Beware! The time can change

See my scars, hear the hunter
Catch the thoughts as they race with the wind
Hear my heart beat like thunder
Free yourself, let the madness begin

Be my love
Beware! My love is strange
Be my love
Beware! The time can change

We're angels with dirty faces
Living all alone
Angels with dirty faces
So far from home

Our dirty minds go on and on
Our fear of night is long gone
We're angels with dirty faces
So far from home

Touch my skin, it's on fire
Light your dreams with the heat of the sun
Let your passions expire
Burn it up 'till there's nowhere to run

Be my love
Beware! My love is strange
Be my love
Beware! The time can change

We're angels with dirty faces
Living all alone
Angels with dirty faces
So far from home

Our dirty minds go on and on
Our fear of night is long gone
We're angels with dirty faces
So far from home

So far from home

Be my love
Beware! My love is strange
Be my love
Beware! The times have changed

We're angels with dirty faces
Living all alone
Angels with dirty faces
So far from home

Our dirty minds go on and on
Our fear of night is long gone
We're angels with dirty faces
So far from home

So far from home
So far from home



Beyond the trees

(Pesch/Balin)

Beyond the trees
Nature's reign is ending
Children unattended
Freeze

Beyond the trees
The world is so much colder
Dreams turn into soldiers
And bleed

The earth is turning, kings are burning
The missions down to the ground
As time passes, cold bastards
Frighten me, beyond the trees

Beyond the trees
Beauty's lost in boundary
Insanity surrounds me
Here

Beyond the trees
If there is disaster
Is there something after?
For me

The earth is turning, kings are burning
The missions down to the ground
As time passes, cold bastards
Frighten me, beyond the trees



Hard times

(Pesch/Balin)

It's too real to be really right
It's so real it kept me up all night
A broken promise on the street of dreams
Left us here, all down on our knees

With one shot and one bite
The walls collapsed with a terrible fright
Minute by minute, day by day
I feel this place is crumbling away

Hard times
We gotta break through these hard times
Hard times
Change the face of these hard times

Everybody, everywhere!

It's easy talking when you're talking cheap
It's harder walking when you're in this deep
There's too much pressure and there's too much pain
Too many people being driven insane

With one shot and one bite
The world could change from dark to light
Station to nation, face to face
There must be some way to save this place

Hard times
We gotta break through these hard times
Hard times
Change the face of these hard times

Everybody, everywhere!

Now fair is fair
Hope needs a lot of care
It's time we all understand
The power's in our hands

Hard times
Hard times
Hard times
Hard times

Hard times
We gotta break through these hard times
Hard times
Change the face of these hard times

Hard times
Hard times
Hard times
Hard times



Hellraiser

(Pesch/Balin/Henriksen)

We're flash and bones
With hearts of stone
Cursing the stars in the sky
The painted face has lost its place

Beneath the wheel
No pain can heal
The spirit must learn how to fly
Across the clouds, strong and proud

So rise up!
Forget about the stories you tell
So rise up!
And let me hear your renegade heart yell

Rock on - hellraiser
Raise it - hellraiser

Stand or fall
Don't we all
Searching for ways to survive?
We're sweating blood to keep alive

And if you feel what I feel
Then we will learn how to fight
For what is real
And what is right

So rise up!
Forget about the stories you tell
So rise up!
And let me hear your renegade heart yell

Rock on - hellraiser
Raise it - hellraiser

So rise up!
Forget about the stories you tell
So rise up!
And let me hear your renegade heart yell

Rock on - hellraiser
Raise it - hellraiser
Rock on - hellraiser
Raise it - hellraiser

Rock on - hellraiser
Raise it - hellraiser
Rock on - hellraiser
Raise it - hellraiser



I am what I am

(Pesch/Balin/Henriksen)

Some choose to remember, some choose to forget
Some fall to pieces when they lose their heads
I choose to get lucky, don't choose to regret
I'll take my chances, only I know best

When it all gets down to me
When it all gets down to me

'Cause I am what I am
And no one's gonna tell me where or when
'Cause I am what I am
And no one's gonna break me down again

I hate to be lonely, I can't pretend
Don't need no phonies trying to be my friends
Don't care about danger, I can take the fall
Everyone's a stranger 'till just one stands tall

And it all comes down on me
When it all comes down to me

'Cause I am what I am
And no one's gonna tell me where or when
'Cause I am what I am
And nothing's gonna break me down again

I can hear the devil calling, calling
I can hear him calling me
But I don't do nothing
I don't believe

When it all comes down to me
When it all gets down to me

'Cause I am what I am
And no one's gonna tell me where or when
'Cause I am what I am
And nothing's gonna break me down again

And nothing's gonna break me down again



Cry wolf

(Pesch/Balin/Henriksen)

We all learn the hard way
Like a ride on the rain
We like to keep the secrets
Tied and chained

Out there, on the dark side
I can hear you call
It's so hard to believe you
I can't run no more

The last time you led'em all astray
But this time you gave yourself away

So cry wolf - and tell me it's for real
Cry wolf - since no one knows the way you feel
Cry wolf - your tears are never real
And no one comes to hear when you cry wolf

We all feel the fences
Standing wide and tall
Wrapped around our senses
Made to fall

Outside in the real world
Deep inside your mind
Lies a lost deceiver
I won't wait in line

The last time you led'em all astray
But this time you gave yourself away

Cry wolf - and tell me it's for real
Cry wolf - and no one knows the way you feel
Cry wolf - your tears are never real
And no one comes to hear when you cry wolf

So cry wolf
Cry, cry wolf
Cry, cry, cry
So cry

Cry wolf - and tell me it's for real
Cry wolf - and no one knows the way you feel
Cry wolf - your tears are never real
And no one comes to hear when you cry wolf

Cry woIf
Cry wolf
Cry wolf
Cry



Under the gun

(Pesch/Balin/Henriksen/Devin)

Tell me no secrets
And I'll tell you no lies
The future has been twisted
And rehearsed for its demise

The warning lights are flashing
And they're circling in the sky
But no one feels the sinners blow
It's right before their eyes

The wicked watch their heroes
With evil on their minds
While reaching out for heaven's gate
There shots ring through the night

Hell bent for thunder
We're racing with the time
But no one knows which way to go
And no one knows to try

Five million reasons
With ten million pieces to go
Wheelers and dealers
With nothing but dreams of control

I believe we're under the gun
I believe we're under the gun
Sold out to madness, prisoners of sadness
I believe we're under the gun

We're under the gun

In the land of milk and money
The devil has his spies
While working undercover
They all keep a watchful eye

Building up their underworld
They're rotten to the bone
Crossing out the others
While they're selling out their own

Five million reasons
With ten million pieces to go
Wheelers and dealers
With nothing but dreams of control

I believe we're under the gun
I believe we're under the gun
Sold out to madness, prisoners of sadness
I believe we're under the gun

We're under the gun

Five million reasons
With ten million pieces to go
Wheelers and dealers
With nothing but dreams of control

I believe we're under the gun
I believe we're under the gun
Sold out to madness, prisoners of sadness
Sold out to madness, prisoners of sadness

I believe we're under the gun



River of tears

(Pesch/Balin/Henriksen)

Living and dreaming
In a world full of fear
Playing with feelings
That carried me here today

Lost in the memories
Of days gone by
Running on empty
And the wells run dry today

It's so far away
That I could fade away

But I'll fly
'Cross this river of tears
And I'll fly
'Cross this river of tears

'Cause a lonely heart could die alone
In this river of tears

I could hear thunder
But l couldn't feel the rain
I fell down under
This dangerous game we play

It's so far away
That I could fade away

But I'll fly
'Cross this river of tears
And I'll fly
'Cross this river of tears

'Cause a lonely heart could die alone
In this river of tears

So I could fade away

But I'll fly
'Cross this river of tears
And I'll fly
'Cross this river of tears

'Cause a lonely heart could die alone
'Cause a lonely heart could die alone
In this river of tears
In this river of tears



Bis aufs blut

(Pesch)

Bis aufs blut kein eeg zu weit
Um der freiheit nah zu sein
Grenzen ohne sinn
Hindern was ich bin

Kein weg zu dir
Ist zu weit um zu verlieren
Einen augenblick
Den wunsch der mich bedrackt

Kein weg zu weit
Um in freiheit nah zu sein
Geh ich bis aufs blut
Ums zu versuchen

Und geh ich bis aufs blut
Ums zu versuchen
