HEAVEN FOR NOONE ELSE BUT ME (S. Weber/M. Schumpelt/J.O. Sörup)

we tittled and we tattled and at last we did agree
and they told me 'bout the night of knights
and there in that room sat some priests in a bunch
round a glowing statue drinking punch
what more pleasure could a boy desire
than to sit him down beside the fire

this is heaven for noone else but me
everlasting like the sun
ever searching for the one

it looked like I might be a hero some day
so I packed up my saddle and changed my name
the train rolled onward... will I ever come back?
And a young maid said 'My this train's going fast'

they promised to give me wealth untold
but the stormy breezes blow a storm of doubt
I would walk in robes of bright shining gold
and the trees in the night play their melodies wild
resample the goddess, the goddess of freedom
Yeah! I feel like an eagle in rocky cathedrals

this is heaven for noone else but me
everlasting like the sun
ever searching for the one


101 (S. Weber/M. Schumpelt/J.O. Sörup)

I've been through so many changes:
the sun was black, the moon was red
I am drunk in my desire
would You try to understand?
I do believe that I cannot receive
I can't tell You what to do
If I could only find answers to seal my fate
crystal tears call a blue eyed rain

press my face against the glas
I wonder how long this one could last

lying in the sun's just a nice occupation
I'm lying lazily on a lown
enjoining the warmth and amazing sounds
somewhere there with sensual intention

I wish the earth would open and swallow me up
I'm getting lost in the warm, moist ground
more and more I'm sinking deeper
sun and air are far away
but there's no need for looking or breathing

more and more, I'm sinking deeper and deeper
the lark's warble, the streams babble, bees humming
a couple's chattering, all die away with every inch
no roots, no worms, no need for my clothes
and to get rid of them needs only one thought

more and more, it's getting colder
between the devil and the deep blue sea
I can no longer tarry here
I'm leaving my body, a new way to reach an unknown attraction
somewhere there in the dephts

more and more and more and more
it takes my breath away
reaching out and reaching in
is this the point of no return?
if I choose to dig the hole much deeper
with a course of rage
is this the point no return?

do I have to choose a book of bloody sundays?
do I have to choose the blue eyed rain?
hear my faith and seal my fate
when You breathe You breathe for two
the cold rock men are on parade
they fade away just to seal my fate

more and more, I'm sinking deeper and deeper
the lark's warble, the streams babble, bees humming
a couple's chattering, all die away with every inch
more and more it's getting colder and colder...


BETWEEN THE LINES (S. Weber/M. Schumpelt/J.O. Sörup)

talking 'bout the stuff that's running through our heads
waiting for the moments to turn
high alive my mind is racing
my body aches just to breath Your breath
whenever we hold each other
time and distance are out of place here
down the way the road's devided into waking dreams

But Your words they keep me alive
though You speak to me in riddles
living it up is the state of my mind
though I know it's never beeen easy
within harmony and light I sense Your sweet reply
take a look inside my book of life and read carefully between the lines

Don't turn Your head away - no matter what they say
take the heat and feel the flow!
watch how we balance the world with every thing we do
You could wait for a lifetime to spend Your days in the sunshine
Now all my endings turn away
I have no idea what lies ahead...

But Your words keep me alive
though You speak to me in riddles
living it up is the state of my mind
though I know it's never beeen easy
You could wait for a lifetime to spend Your days in the sunshine
take a look inside my book of life and read carefully between the lines
within harmony and light I sense Your sweet reply
Oh, Your words - they keep mye alive

...and read carefully between the lines!


ALL TOO LATE (S. Weber/M. Schumpelt/J.O. Sörup)

moonlit balconies, I'm not too far from where You are
I am stepping that door

and heaven comes to who who waits
I wonder why you lost your faith
in a gambling spree
falling into reveries
so quiet in here, so peaceful here
a sad affair to know there's no one near me now

watch me bleed, I'm bleeding forever
watch me bleed, I'm bleeding forever

evening's fading in the candle glow
I'm full but I'm feeling empty
so many dreams that don't come true
I miss Your heart beating next to mine
foghorns blowing in the night
I'm sailing for some other shore
for one so young
I feel so cold
watch me bleed

no, don't pretend that You can
justify the pain and the cries

it's all too late, my dear
your face now like a photograph
when it's all too late ...just fading out

oh, watch me bleed - I'm bleeding forever
I'm dying slowly
leaving the show


TORN IN TWO (S. Weber/M. Schumpelt/J.O. Sörup)

Day after day I’m getting more confused - I feel lonely
Seems like the spirit could never be caught or broken
But from out of the shadows the twilight s fading
while the wind over my roof and this damned holy mountain
lies sleeping under the moon

Watch how angels speak with jilted tongues
The serpent’s tale has come undone
Innocence lies, purity dies in the mornig sun

Here today - forget about tomorrow!
I want to hear You want me near
In the morning sun
Some of them use You, abuse and confuse You
But sooner or later they all will be gone
With the morning sun…

It’s just another question of faith that I must take and I worry
I make a start, I’m coming back
to his site and put it right
Will you still find me if I leave you here?
Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away?

Here today - forget about tomorrow!
I want to hear You want me near
In the morning sun
Some of them use You, abuse and confuse You
But sooner or later they all will be gone
With the morning sun…
Innocence lies - purity dies!


LAST PIECE (S. Weber/M. Schumpelt/J.O. Sörup)

it was a cold october evening when I found that I was hunting
for a long lost part of me but now I can see for miles and miles and miles
I stare in space as night grows nearer
I'm not getting any stronger I finally open my eyes
and now I can see the last piece of eternety

while the tears roll down I walk up on high and I laugh at myself
I step to the dedge, see my world below Yes, it's a world now I built it long ago
Yesterday's plans today gone forever just a one way out I have no doubt
one part of me will never be free will never be me...

I bragged about that fire oh suddenly I'm tired
I've got no patience so sick of complacience and now I can see for miles and miles
now I can see the last piece of eternety

the sea begins to shiver and the winds begin to moan
my back sore well it gets so long pure magic - we will be white magic - we will see
true hunting is over no herds to follow the point of the journey is not to arrive
I promise - I swear, I'll meet You again somewhere else in another life
I used to never be afraid the time is my companion
I used to know my rights from wrong but now it's time to go...

I can't sleep and I lay and I think I don't like it but I will die tonight
Here I come and here I go The crazy mob will shout and groan,
I don't cry! I don't cry tonight, I don't cry tonight!

when the Dark star crashes pouring its slaves into ashes
I believe my heart is there, yes it’s there
there on the high hill top the stars shown in her mane
and she turns into a mighty flood she bares down on the plain
Sing me sweet and sing me sleepy on our way back back home...
by the waterside I will rest my bones and listen, listen to the river sing her songs:
Sing me sweet and sing me sleepy on our way back back home...
