Land Of The Late
I’m flying, I’m speeding out through the sky
I’m winnin’, I’m loosin’ and I don’t know why
They said it would be a nice trip to the end of time
I’m racin’, I’m rushin’ along an endless line
The land of the late, the land of the late
I’m lookin’, I’m seein’, insects of rare shape
Thery’re flyin’, they’re turnin’ and comin’ my way
With wings like blades and million eye-sights
I’m flyin’, I’m fleedin’, vanishin’ in the night
To the land of the late, the late of the land
I’m listenin’, I’m hearin’ noises of strange sound
It’s frightenin’, though familiar, like a heartbeat pound
It is repeated and amplified by odd-lookin machines
I’m movin', I’m goin’, producin’ weird-lookin’ scenes
In the land of the late, the late of the land
I’m flying, I’m speeding out through the sky
I’m loosin’, I’m winnin’ and I don’t know why
It’s all whirlin’ so fast I’m loosin' contact
My goal is a land from which you never come back
It’s the land of the late, late of the land

Attracted To Your Fire
I want you to make this ancient
Heart feel young again
And strong and willing for the fight well
Make this heart and soul of stainless steel
That it was made in hell
I want to you to make this worried man
feel free again, and bold fit to live his life plan
Turn on this old and worn out soul
So I can finally make my future be a feast again
Attracted to your fire
Attracted to life
Attracted to feeling brand new
Been everywhere and travelled he globe so many times
Been inside the mind and played all games so well
Used a lot of drugs and fought to conquer all of them
I need a restart with a soul that was made in hell
A heart and soul of steel so I live on for ever
Not to worry about defeat or endless decay
Use your craft and all your knowledge
to renew and to refine the masterpiece I was in earlier days

H.M. Is King
There is a thing that gets you going on
There is a thing that will make you strong
This thing that drive you wild
and provokes the feelings of a child
H.M. is a King
His Majesty the King
There was once a King of old
a King who reigned with iron hand
He used to wear a beard and axe
and was called the King of saxe
And ages later there’s still the songs
that tell of feat of arms so strong
and of the heroes of the saxe
Medieval metal men with axes
There is a thing that gets me going
That song that rages like a storm
From times before we were born
Can’t tell a kiss from a bomb

Mercenary
I’m living for the killing
I gotta kill to live a life
If not now and if you don’t see me later
I know I’ll never die
I always come in time
I’m a faultless ever working man
I got time in my side
I’m a rocker, I’m a roller
I’m a fighter, I’m a soldier
I’m here now to full fill your wishes
So what’s in your dirty minds
I’m a warrior, I’m a war beast
I never loose in fights
You can phone me you just call me
I like to kill the time
I’m the perfect mercenary man
I got time on my side
I’m living for the killing
I gotta kill to live a life
If not now and if you don’t see me later
I know I’ll never die
You can hire me to full fill your wishes
So what’s in your dirty mind
I’m not working for the luxury or fame
I’m just living for to die

Revert
Somebody called him a revert
Because he acted very strange
And then they wanted some answer
But answers always are the same
Somebody called him an insane
They couldn’t judge his deeds at all
And then they cried for an answer
But answers can’t prevent the fall
Please drive away this night, give me light
Please drive away my night, bring me light
Somebody called him a pervert
‘Çause his behaviour was so rude
And then they screamed for an answer
But answers are never what they should
And still they called him a revert and didn’t understand at all
And now they pay an answer but answers can’t prevent the fall

Tormentress
Alive
Amazing grave contains my only baby
Amazing grave took all I always loved
Big car drove away my one and only hope
Big rolls drove away what could what good have been so good
..Meat hook found her flesh at last
Life will never have me in its sway again
I still think of how she loved to see me suffer
Often I see her in my dreadfull dreams
She loved so much the things I hated most of all
She was so fond of everything that made me blue
It had me wake up every day in terror
Ahe was my life, and life had me in its all-embracing sway
It’s gonna be the death of me
Sometimes early in the morning a whisper is carried by the wind
Seems I can hear a voice that tells me why it had to be
From out of amazing grave I can hear an awful cry for help
She’s gone, she’s gone but I know that the torment stays

Nobody’s Fool
Rock dreams will get me through the night
When I look out my window I can see the city-lights
I finally got myself out of the world of hard work
At least you can say I got me out of the dirt
You know I ain’t nobody’s fool
I make my own life
Ain’t gonna die before I did it all
Since I was born they tried to screw me up
When I tried to survive in the backstreets
They tried to fuck me up
Then again at school they tried to put me down by locking me up
Now I’m supposed to be a free man I gotta get myself started up
Rock dreams will get me through the night
I feel this heavy metal music is just like dynamite
I just discovered I got a little motor inside
So rest of my life I gonna fight for my rights

Midnight Riding Kid catching
Watch out we’ll come around midnite
Hey oldies you better get the youngsters inside
We walk around they say with cold eyes
But when you look better you can see that there’s a fire inside
Midnite riding, kid catching
When we’re tried and weary and just skin and bones
When we’re with ten thousands, we’re still alone
We’re roaming and raving and alleys
We’re looking so innocent but you’re better watch out
Eyes? Not like diamonds but just like tombstones
Eyes? No eyes but just dark holes
Looking in it can be fatal for you looking in it may well be
The very last thing that you will ever do
Will we ever find the rest for body and soul
Or do we have to run around here like this till eternity
Oh we need a day to get born, there sure is a death before life

She says
She says, I want you down low, low, low, low……
She says, how I really like to see you cry…..
She says, I like to see you act in this ridiculous show…
Her mouth is gonna tell me when it’s time to die.
Her voice is gonna tell me to obey…
Her wants are always my last commands…..
She says, get down on your knees and pray…
By now I guess this must be my very end.
Sometimes she makes me crawl on the dirty floor…
Her face is by then covered by my blood…
She says, I don’t want this boring man around no more…
Oh my god, She keeps my prison shut!

Nobody’s Fool 2001 version
Rockdreams will get me through the night

I finally got myself out of the world of hard work
At least you can say I got me out of the dirt
You know I ain’t nobody’s fool

Ain’t gonna die before I did it all
Since I was born they tried to screw me up
When I tried to survive in the backstreets

Now I’m supposed to be a free man I gotta get myself started up
Rockdreams will get me through the night
I feel this heavy metal music is just like dynamite
