King of the hive

Just a glimpse and there she was
Just a spark to burn all the loss
Just a single word and I'm standing still
Not moving at all and still waiting for your call
(Where have I been?) And I'm wondering where I've been before
(All these years) All these years, I was sure
(On this road)That I'm the driver on this road of life
(Another King) But I'm just another king of the hive

Oh please, save me from the life I've seen
Oh please, without losing self-esteem
Oh please, hear my song, hear my dream
I need to feel your love today

Seems like everybody sees that I'm fighting with myself
This train's not coming back or will be on the shelf
But better take a risk than not moving at all
And I won't regret a thing, even if I fall
And I'm wondering where you've been before
All these years I was sure
That I'm the driver on this road of life
But in the end I just wanna be your king of the hive


Oh please, save me from the life I've seen
Oh please, without losing self-esteem
Oh please, hear my song, hear my dream
I need to feel your love today

And I would fall from grace for you
Although I know that you don't want me to
Like a king I play your fool
You make me feel alive though you've torn my heart in two

Oh please, save me from the life I've seen
Oh please, without losing self-esteem
Oh please, hear my song, hear my dream
I need to feel your love today



Play this game

Is it a dream or am I going mad?
Could it be real or is it just another picture of you?
I am ready to stand my ground
I am ready to really understand what I've found

How you fool me around
The way you talk, the way you play this game
Still can't find a way to get away from you

Sometimes I think I see what is wrong, what I need
But the further I go the darker it gets
Tired of running around.
No more doubts and no regrets
Are you ready; to really understand what we've found

How you fool me around
The way you talk, the way you play this game
Still can't find a way to get away from you

You fly so high and make no sound
You leave me here, you leave me bound

How you fool me around
The way you talk, the way you play this game
Still can't find a way to get away from you



Back home

When I feel that it's getting cold inside
And no light could lighten the darkness tonight
When I think that it's crushing my mind
I just think of you all the time
Where are you now I call out your name
Somehow I still love you the same

And I know you will be the light in that hollow
And I go where ever you go
Where you lead I will follow
Back home, back home

What was said that was said and it can't be undone
But the clouds disappeared; now we see the sun
No simple word, no single sign
But now I want you to know how I feel
Can you hear me crying?
Where are you now I call out your name
Somehow I still love you the same

And I know you will be the light in that hollow
And I go where ever you go
Where you lead I will follow
Back home
And I go where ever you go
Where you lead I will follow
Back home, back home

That's where I wanna go, where I wanna be
And where I belong
That's where I wanna go, where I wanna be
That's where I feel free

And I know you will be the light in that hollow
And I go where ever you go
Where you lead I will follow
Back home, back home



The shore

And what would you say if I ask you to come with me
We'd conquer the world
We're getting' lost, throw your plans overboard
It's high time
Forgotten dreams, giving up thoughts we'd find 'em again
Gonna show you things you've never seen before
If you wanna see new ground you have to leave the shore

We're taking off, far away and high above
We're taking off, your fears so small if you just fly high enough

And what would they say, oh If we just disappear
They'll get it some day
A clear view and a free mind Is all we've got
It's high time
Your soul speaks, your heart leads
Your long lost dreams is where we meet
Gonna show you things you've never seen before
You wanna see new ground come on and leave the shore

We're taking off Far away and high above
We're taking off Your fears so small if you just fly high enough



In the Circle

Wanna go to where I'm free
Build a place for you and me
Many dreams we've had
Many hours we've wasted with just talking

No I don't wanna drive in this circle no more
Don't wanna listen to these stories once more
How many times do I have to say goodbye

This time we will be paid
For all the fights and the love we made
No more promises, no more "more or less"
Never, never again

No I don't wanna drive in this circle no more
Don't wanna listen to these stories once more
How many times do I have to say goodbye
No I don't wanna drive in their circle no more
Don't wanna listen to their stories once more
How many times do we have to say goodbye
Before it's the last goodbye

Wanna go to where I'm free Build a place for you and me

But I don't wanna drive in your circle no more
Don't wanna listen to these stories once more
How many times do I have to say goodbye
No I don't wanna drive in your circle no more
Don't wanna listen to your stories once more
How many times do I have to say goodbye
Before it's the last goodbye



Make me see

Need to realize what is going on inside
I don't think they can hide what's going on inside
Need to understand what is going on inside
Need to see the ground where it all began
Maybe I'll find out where's the deeper sense
Need to see the ground maybe then I'll understand
Need to know the rules before I can get in and play
Show me how to live a life worth living everyday
Need to know the rules before I can get in and play

Show me how - In this system it's too dark to see
Make me see - You make me sick and I don't even feel it
Make me feel - Guess what, I'm not your enemy
Let me breathe -So what are you fighting for?
Make me see

We see it on TV, hear it on the radio
Your steady blinking mask, nice, oh how beautiful
Colorful your words, hypnotizing how you talk
Now I know the rules, now I can get in and play
I show you how to live, a life worth living everyday
You need to know the rules, before you can get in and play

Show me how - In this system it's too dark to see
Make me see - You make me sick and I don't even feel it
Make me feel - Guess what, I'm not your enemy
Let me breathe - So what are you fighting for?
Make me see

It's all so black and white, right or wrong is what we see
Don't keep the door closed and set me free
Oh I can't breathe, no no no
It's too cold to feel
With the eyes of a child I wanna see
Set me free, let me breathe

Show me how - In this system it's too dark to see
Make me see - You make me sick and I don't even feel it
Make me feel - Guess what, I'm not your enemy
Let me breathe - So what are you fighting for?
Make me see



Inner Man

Drifting on the sea
Seems like we are free
But no matter where you go
You don't have control
Keeping my head high
Someone steers inside
Sometimes an angle flies through my mind
Sometimes my shadow gives advice

Yes he breaks my will, draws the line
Screams until I've changed my mind
Yes he breaks my will, draws the line
Screams until I've changed my mind

Sinking to the ground
With all the love I've found
I hear the inner man
Breathing in my head
Useless tears and fights
The inner man decides
Sometimes an angle flies through my mind
Sometimes my shadow gives advice

Yes he breaks my will, draws the line
Screams until I've changed my mind
Yes he breaks my will, draws the line
Screams until I've changed my mind

Change my mind

Sometimes an angle flies through my mind
Sometime my shadow gives advice
Yes he breaks my will, draws the line
Lives until I've changed my mind
Yes he breaks my will, draws the line
Lives until the end of time
The end of time



Riverside

Sitting on the riverside
Time's running away
I'm the one who stays behind
Shadows moving on my wall
Never showing their face
I'm the stranger here
Floating lost in space

Sitting on the riverside
The water slides through my fingers
Life's too fast to linger
Sitting on the riverside
Time's running away
Well, I'm the one how stays behind everyday
Everyday more and more



Another Piece

Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
Can't live without you by my side
I feel the devils in my head
When I think of all the things that I've said
I heal the wounds you cover
And here's another

Come on steer another
Drown another
Break another piece of me

Did you really think I'm done?
I'm not that weak, I'm not that numbed
What you give, what you reveal
Is never true, never real
I know the wounds you cover
And here's another

You won't steal another
Drown another
Break another piece of me

Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
Can live without you by my side
I see the devils fighting in your head
When I think of all the things you've said
I know the wounds you cover
And here's another

You won't steal another
Drown another
Break another piece of me



Take your tie off

Ain't it funny how you reject
All what's new, all what's strange to you
Ain't it funny how you reflect?
All what's cool, all what's popular
Still you wonder, still you ponder
How to move, what to say and who you've got to be

Who are you, where are you going?
You just react, you just reflect
Who are you, where are you going?
How do you feel, no one knows, you just act

Helpless if you try to help yourself
Given clichés lame your fantasy
Who's the one you follow now
When all you see is what you hate
Stop to wonder, stop to ponder
How to move, what to say and who you've got to be

Who are you, where are you going?
You just react, you just reflect
Who are you, what are you showing?
How do you feel, no one knows, you just act

Take your tie off, let your mind breath and learn how to fly
Take your tie off, let yourself go and learn how to fall
Take your tie off, let your mind breath and learn how to fly
Take your tie off, let yourself go and learn to fall and to rise again



Your Anchor

If the sun refused to shine
If the stars melt away
I'll be your guiding light
If your dreams begin to fade
If you're loosing control
I'll be your anchor

Oh, if you're creeping in the dark
Oh, let the sun into your heart
And smile for me, smile for me

If your heart refused to feel
If you're searching for yourself
I'll be your guiding light
If you're trying to break the chains
If you're trying to escape
I'll be your anchor

Oh, if you're creeping in the dark
Oh, let the sun into your heart
And smile for me, smile for me

Oh, if you're creeping in the dark
Oh, let the sun into your heart
And smile for me, smile for me
For me alone
Forever.
