I don´t understand

I don´t understand why you´re telling me lies
I know you´re just waiting for further advise
sometimes you feel like hypnotized
but, where lies the answer?
I know that you can´t get out of your skin
when you´re just talking of loss and win
and deep inside you,
what´s there in
who may find the answer

When the dawn is breaking
through all your dreams
will pass away, pass away
and the time takes you away,
for this morning, this day
and you don´t need no reason
for telling these lies
about something you don´t mind
could be one thing worth to care
what you´re dreaming of
is time for your love

Prisoner in a senseless dream,
invisible labyrinth of life
french fries and a double H
follow you deep through your mind
the tale is growing longer now and then
time is an invisible event,
so what´s your point of view
and let me know, now and forever,
is everything like dust in the wind?
And I could follow you,
remember your plastic sacrifice
but you can see the way,
seems like walking on thin ice
the tears of the Sahara feel the pain
don´t think that is all in vain,
the pages of life have been turned back

Threads of Reality

What happened to the dream
Was it dreamed and then forgotten
or did reality steal the threads that held it together
Have you become another victim of mediocraty

Are you dying inside
Your senses dulled
and no new place to go
It´s such a shame
that so many people die
with their music still inside them

Well listen to me ........
I´ll tell you something
you should already know
Life´s too short
to never let your feelings show

It´s such a shame
that so many people die
with their music still inside them
But don´t be ashamed
Step out of the shadows
of whatever is holding you down

Lost in Reverie

I couldn´t find an answer, I was lying in my bed
one hundred million questions
were running through my head.
How could it all have happened,
how could it all be done ?
I can´t describe my feelings but I know - this won´t go on.

I heard the sirens singing but I knew this wasn´t true
was gliding on a windshield
and this dream has been so cool

Gliding ´bout a thousand miles,
maybe in one night or has it been a day?
The time seemed nearly endless far,
through this magic flight
I felt the rainbow touch my skin.

Breathing to feel mother nature´s great appeal
diving through clouds, where I heard nobody shout
like a film in my mind ...

Take me by the hand, you know It´s the promised land
or is it just a dream ?
Whales and dolphins bustling deep beneath our carpet ride
I heard the call of liberty.

Breathing to feel ...

Plenty of Gold

You´ve got plenty of gold
though you´re not very old
is that all that you care?
Or is it just a matter of age
a matter of your mind?

Golden bracelets on your hands
golden chains upon your feet
golden rings in your ears
golden glasses shine so sweet

Forgotten moments surround your inner voice
breathing through your skin and velvet hair
Let the wind whisper in your ears
and the time wouldn´t cry for you

When you fear for the cold
you´ll still remember the gold
while sleeplessness will haunt you
although moonbeams touch your window pane
you´d always feel the same

Broken dreams on your hands
chasing shadows on the wall
artificial moonlight from the neighbourhood

Forgotten moments surround your inner voice
breathing through your skin and velvet hair
Wasted sunsets underneath your pillow
´t was the lark whispering - not the wind

March for Love

In the garden the sun goes down now
it is evening and getting extremely cold
fire´s burning and all having wine
when a wanderer - who comes
from the faraway south
walks through the garden
spreading the news
there would be a wise old man
down in the faraway south

And the next morning
they decided to march
to the faraway south
The sun begins to shine
when all start to march
Singing and dancing ...

The sun begins to shine
and all go now,
because they don´t know
the meaning of love and warmth.
The search for love
The search for warmth
The march for warmth
The march for love

Sometimes
(including something completely different)

Sometimes I could fly away
sometimes I don´t understand it all
why must war and hate go on and on
why can love and peace just be in songs
and I must say, sometimes I won´t live on earth
sometimes I could shout it out loud
and I could leave it all behind
why could mankind ever be so blind

I don´t understand, why you´re telling me lies
I know you´re just waiting for further advise
sometimes you feel like hypnotized
I know that you can´t get out of your skin
when you´re just talking of loss and win
and deep inside you what´s there in

When I saw you in the dark, I couldn´t hear your voice
but I tried to talk to you,
I had no other choice
the music was too loud you know,
but both we felt so free
How could I understand just any single word -
I read it from your lips
we didn´t want to leave this place,
we felt so cool and hip
the flashlights on our faces
meant to feel the liberty
