Edguy

All The Clowns

When you're walking down the empty road
Feel like creeping, crawling, cold and bare
And you're afraid of Mistery Scary-face
Don't turn around since you may find him there

A fire of hope has turned into smoke,
The child to a man
It's nothing but grey painting your way
And no one could ever tell...

Tell me why all the clowns have gone
Tell me where did they run
Just when I close my eyes I can see them arise
Fool tell me where did you go
Foll tell me why did you go away, all the clowns

On and on, tomorrow's yesterday
No more tears allowed, you'll stand your pain
The child inside will die for liberty
Hope you don't mind that they will nail a frame
A spark of a 'no'
Rebellion and hope
The fire of life
I don't mind if you blame
Don't feel ashamed
Still I know them well
 

 

 

another time

THE RAIN OUTSIDE REMINDS ME OF YOUR VOICE
LIKE EVERYTHING I HEAR SINCE YOU'RE NOT THERE.
THE DISTANCE DOESN'T LEAVE ME ANY CHOICE
THAN TO MEET YOU IN A DREAM WE STILL CAN SHARE.

IN MY DREAM I SEE YOUR SMILE
BUT WHEN I OPEN PU MY EYES I CAN'T SEE ANYONE.
NOW THAT YOU HAVE GONE AWAY
I WONDER IF WE'LL REACH THE DAY
THAT YOU WILL REALIZE THAT WE BELONG.

I CAN'T TAKE IT FOR GRANTED.
I REMEMBER YOUR SMILE.
I CAN'T TAKE IT FOR GRANTED
CAUSE I KNOW THAT OUR LIFE IS IN LINE
FOR ANOTHER DAY OR LIFE IN ANOTHER TIME:
...IN ANOTHER TIME...

THE PRESSURE AND THE FEAR IT MADE YOU BLIND:
YOU THOUGHT THAT YOU'VE TO GIVE SOME BURDEN AWAY.
BUT ARE YOU REALLY SURE IF IT'S REQUIRED ?
DON'T YOU WANT TO FIND OUT ANOTHER DAY ?

IN MY DREAM I SEE YOUR SMILE
BUT WHEN I OPEN UP MY EYES I CAN'T SEE ANYONE.
NOW THAT YOU HAVE GONE AWAY
I WONDER IF WE'LL REACH THE DAY
THAT YOU WILL REALIZE THAT WE BELONG.

I CAN'T TAKE IT FOR GRANTED.
I REMEMBER YOUR SMILE.
I CAN'T TAKE IT FOR GRANTED
CAUSE I KNOW OUR LIFE IS IN LINE
FOR ANOTHER DAY OR LIFE IN ANOTHER TIME

I CAN'T TAKE IT FOR GRANTED.
( I CAN'T TAKE IT)
I REMEMBER YOUR SMILE
(I REMEMBER)
I CAN'T TAKE IT FOR GRANTED.
(I CAN'T TAKE IT)
CAUSE I KNOW OUR LIFE IS IN LINE
FOR ANOTHER DAY OR LIFE IN ANOTHER TIME
IN ANOTHER TIME
 

 

 

 

Arrows Fly

Faking the truth in their eyes
Smile but they really deride
Never give you shelter
Lady all alone, naked to the bone
Make you bleed and melt into tears
Down on your knees you will see
What you could be
Raise the power in your eyes
Make us rise to make us say

Down and alone - arrows fly
Breaking on my soul
Down and alone - arrows fly
I remember times
When arrows hit me causing pain
All alone I've found my soul
And now my soul is sane

The night has come down on the land
I wanna reach out for her land
But she takes another
Lonesome in my room, staring at the moon
Treated like a bother

Down on my knees I have seen
What I can be
Raise the power in my eyes
Makes me rise to make me say

Down and alone - arrows fly
Breaking on my soul
Down and alone - arrows fly
I remember times
When arrows hit me causing pain
All alone I've found my soul
And now my soul is sane

Down and alone - arrows fly
Breaking on my soul
Down and alone - arrows fly
I remember times
When arrows hit me causing pain
All alone I've found my soul
And now my soul is sane

(...isn't loneliness a good reason to become acquainted with yourself?
And when you're down and out - aren't you compelled to face yourself?
And - if you know yourself - can the arrows of the world outside
hurt you anymore?...)
 

 

 

 

babylon

yeah...

in a world of hate pollution
we can't breathe anymore
we've to leave and this time you,
the pawn, have won.
on our quest for nowhere island
we set off to the sea.
you call surrender what we call
a calm before the storm...

pounding thoughts of home they make me know: "i
will return! i don't live my life for you.
it's too short to get burned.
stand upright and face the wind!"

[chorus:]

time to go back where i belong...
no one can prevent me from
raising towers in babylon.
time to go back where i belong...
no one can accuse me
for i do not fear babylon, babylon...

you only can love me if you can convert me
to attitudes of your brain
you blame us for doing things
that you don't know. you tell me what you'd do if
you were me but you are you and i am i
lucky you, but this time i say: "no!"

pounding thoughts of home they make me know: "i
will return!". i don't want to hurt you but you'll
have to learn: you are you and i am i!!!

[repeat]

ooohhh...

oh yeah...

fallen angels

Sun going down, she opens her eyes
It's dark in the belfry and cold
Whispers of rain, wind in the sky
So long it's been all she's been told

Dream child, you're all alone
Roaming though the night
Scream child, lost and ashamed
For all the tears you cry

You're a child in sadness
A chessboard nightmare to go
Hear that silent symphony
Calling you up to the shore and you'll see us

As we sail away, moonstruck and astray
We're fallen angels
We're the scary tale to scare your mind away
From fallen angels

[solo: Both]

So many days wasted in haze
You're free, oh so free on their strings
Illusions of life, they say you can fly
They laugh and they cut off your wings
Night child, they give you steel
And make you believe that it's gold
Lies child, all that you're told
Is just what you shall know

When they 'know' we are evil
We're strangers
And danger and fire,
The dark and the light
We are eyes in the night
Lost souls' they curse
For we've found it inside - oh

[repeat chorus]
[solo: Jens]

Ohhh, yeah...

[solo: Jens/Both]

When they say you're a fossil
When their eyes nail you to the cross
Take their curse and join our way
Welcome my frien on the ship of the damned - oh

[repeat chorus]

 

 

falling down

„no brain is left but here i got one more nail!“
the master’s final word.
when he created a ‚hero‘ like you.
born to deride and to hurt.

you don’t try to find a reason why.
you don’t have a brain.
[-you don’t wanna have a brain-]
you are just a masquerade, just a nice facade in a
snob parade, i know. [-you don’t know-]

[chorus part i:]

you don’t have to wait, i’ll be too late
when you meet to jump off the edge!
you don’t have to wait, i’ll be too late
when you meet to jump off the edge!

[chorus part ii:]

i’m not like you and i don’t wanna be.
follow the times to a place you can’t see!
don’t call in doubt what the fashion may bring
and you’ll be falling down.
hammer the nail into what you don’t now.
keep on believing you’re strong!
you got your pride and i got my peace

CRYING ON THE PYRE
FEELING - OH - SO STRANGE
ONCE YOU TOOK MY MIND TO DETERIORATE
TOLD ME THAT YOU LIKE ME
ATROCIOUS AND DETERRENT LIES
TOLD ME HOW IT IS TO SUFFER HATE

CELEBRATE MY FUNERAL
VULTURES ON MY CORPSE
ASHES TO ASHES - ME TO HELL
WANT TO BURY ME ALIVE
BUT YOU'VE NEVER KNOWN
YOU ARE TOO DEAF TO HEAR MY FORCES YELL

ON YOUR MIND THE CREEPING HATE
YOU HOLD LINK TO SEAL MY FATE
I STARE INTO THE LIGHT
FIRE BURNING BRIGHTLY
INQUISITION IN OUR TIME
BUT I GOTTA TELL YOU WHAT I AM

BURNING - I AM BURNING
YEAH - BURNING LIKE A FROZEN CANDLE
BURNING - I AM BURNING
YEAH - BURNING LIKE A FROZEN CANDLE

I CAN STILL REMEMBER YOU
COMING WITH THE REAPER
HOW YOU TRIED TO UNLOCK MY DOOR
SLEEPLESS NIGHTS - EVIL DREAMS
FACES IN THE WINDOW
VOICES THAT I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE

ON YOUR MIND THE CREEPING HATE
YOU HOLD THE LINK TO SEAL MY FATE
I STARE INTO THE LIGHT
FIRE BURNING BRIGHTLY
INQUISISTION IN OUR TIME
BUT I GOTTA TELL YOU WHAT I AM

BURNING - I AM BURNING
YEAH - BURNING LIKE A FROZEN CANDLE

Golden Dawn

He was born into this world
Living love but he got hurt
And he sighed when he beheld
The bleeding lamb

Blood and tears drip on the ground
Dung the olives on the mount
Love is crucified, made way
For the greed of man

There's no way out of here

No we don't, don't wanna take it no more
No we don't, don't wanna wait forever

Golden dawn, a new age has begun
Golden dawn, in every single one
Don't you run away, don't say it's all too late
Start to ring in the age... The golden dawn

Killing brothers, sick ideals, TV-Show lie and reveal
Poor philistine reasons why to hate a man
It's so easy to give in, do your dirty trick and win
Join those lemmings to the shore and fly but then

Don't complain if you'll drown in the end

Kill to eat, when you're the final one
There's no one to compete
Then find the time to think of a...

Holy Shadows

You're a child of an old illusion
Can't you hear it cry?
You live your life to the exclusion
Of what they call a lie
The touch of evil it is getting stronger
You'd better hide in the daylight
Or you won't stand the temptation no longer
And you will ask if your way is right

Do not ask the preacher why
All your fears keep it alive
Waiting for the end of time

Holy shadows, always follow
Holy chains on holy shadows

When you are eve then I am temptation
I am the words you're not allowed to say
The animal of their revelation
'Cause I can take your fears away

They make you blind and they want you to follow
"Free love is sin! Desire's slavery!"
My wicked kiss on your virgin lips
Will be a pleasant way you'll see it

Do not ask the preacher why
All your fears keep it alive
Waiting for the end of time

Holy shadows, always follow
Holy chains on holy shadows

Let's get down on the floor
You'll be screaming for more
When out bodies collide
I'll make you feel alright
Never give in when they call it sin

Waiting for the end of time

Holy shadows, always follow
Holy chains on holy shadows
Holy shadows, always follow
Holy chains on holy shadows
Holy shadows, always follow
Holy chains on holy shadows

(...father, forgive her for giving in to her lust,
for being not able to stand the temptation...and for enjoying it!...)
 

 

how many miles

OH YEAH...
WATCHING A FACE AND A SMILE AND A LIGHT
WHEN YOUR'RE WALKING ALONE IN THE STREET
I KNOW YOUR LOOK ALWAYS GIVES YOU THE MIGHT
MANY MILES FROM YOUR ASS TO YOUR FEET
AND I DREAM - WHAT I'VE SEEN
IS WHAT I WANT IT TO BE - SELFMADE REALITY

HOW MANY MILES TO THE GATE OF REALITY
HOW MANY STEPS LEFT TO GO TO MY DREAMS
HOW MANY MILES TO THE LAND WHERE MY DREAMS COME TRUE
DREAMS WHICH COME TRUE JUST HAVE DIED

LOOK LIKE A QUEEN BUT YOU TALK LIKE A PAWN AND I KNOW YOU'RE A FOOL IN DISGUISE
GODFATHER TELL ME HOW TO CARRY ON
BLINDED BY FANTASIES OF LIES

AND I DREAM - WHAT I'VE SEEN
IS WHAT I WANT IT TO BE - SELFMADE REALITY

HOW MANY MILES TO THE GATE OF REALITY
HOW MANY STEPS LEFT TO GO TO MY DREAMS
HOW MANY MILES TO THE LAND WHERE MY DREAMS COME TRUE
DREAMS WHICH COME TRUE JUST HAVE DIED

I SEE YOUR SMILE, A GOLDEN MASQUERADE
AND I KNOW MY DREAM IT WILL BE MY FATE
TIME HAS STOLEN MY FANTASY
CAUSE IT HAS BECOME A PALE REALITY

[SOLO]

HOW MANY MILES TO THE GATE OF REALITY
HOW MANY STEPS LEFT TO GO TO MY DREAMS
HOW MANY MILES TO THE LAND WHERE MY DREAMS COME TRUE
DREAMS WHICH COME TRUE JUST HAVE DIED

GIVE US THIS DAY ALL THAT YOU SHOWED ME
THE FAITH AND THE GLORY TILL MY KINGDOM COMES...

GIVE US THIS DAY ALL THAT YOU SHOWED ME
THE POWER AND THE GLORY TILL MY KINGDOM COMES
GIVE ME ALL THE STORIES YOU TOLD ME
THE FAITH AND THE GLORY TILL MY KINGDOM COMES

AND THEY SAY THAT IN OUR TIME
ALL THAT'S GOOD WILL FALL FROM GRACE
EVEN SAINTS WOULD TURN THEIR FACE
IN OUR TIME
AND THEY TOLD US THAT IN OUR DAYS
DIFFERENT WORD SAID IN DIFFERENT WAYS
HAVE OTHER MEANINGS FROM HE WHO SAYS
IN OUR TIME

GIVE US THIS DAY ALL THAT YOU SHOWED ME
THE POWER AND THE GLORY TILL MY KINGDOM COMES
GIVE ME ALL THE STORIES YOU TOLD ME
THE FAITH AND THE GLORY TILL MY KINGDOM COMES

AND THEY SAY THAT IN OUR TIME
WE WOULD REAP FROM THEIR LEGACY
AND WE WOULD LEARN FROM WHAT THEY HAD SEEN
IN OUR TIME
AND THEY TOLD US THAT IN OUR DAYS
WE WOULD KNOW WHAT WAS HIGH ON HIGH
WE WOULD FOLLOW AND NOT DEFY
IN OUR TIME

GIVE US THIS DAY ALL THAT YOU SHOWED ME
THE POWER AND THE GLORY TILL MY KINGDOM COMES
FAITHLESS IN FAITH. WE MUST BEHOLD THE THINGS WE SEE

GIVE US THIS DAY ALL THAT YOU SHOWED ME
THE POWER AND THE GLORY TILL MY KINGDOM COMES
GIVE ME ALL THE STORIES YOU TOLD ME
THE FAITH AND THE GLORY TILL MY KINGDOM COMES

GIVE US THIS DAY ALL THAT YOU SHOWED ME
THE POWER AND THE GLORY TILL MY KINGDOM COMES
GIVE ME ALL THE STORIES YOU TOLD ME

I'M A SACRED KING IN A SACRED KINGDOM
YOU KNOW ME JUST AS A ROYALITY
LOOKING KIND SO YOU DON'T SEE
I'D LIKE TO STEAL YOUR VIRGINITY

I WAS BORN TO FEIGN A ANGEL
THE EVIL KNOWS JUST HOW TO HIDE
I SOLD MY SOUL TO RISE AWAY

SO KIND AND NOBLE TILL I WAKE THE ANIMAL

WE ARE POWER AND MAJESTY
AT NIGHT - WE FLY - WE RISE
WE ARE POWER AND MAJESTY

I'M A MASTER OF DISGUISE

SHUT...UP - COME IN MY BED

I'M A RECKLESS ANIMAL
SPITTING OUT A FLOOD OF LIES
TILL YOU KNOW MY PERVERSITY
IS TO DO IT AND DO IT AND FINALLY DIE

BLACK SUITE AND BUSINESS,
TILL I WAKE THE ANIMAL

AT NIGHT - WE FLY - WE RISE
WE ARE POWER AND MAJESTY

roses to no one

I'M FEELING THIS TIME
AS BAD AS NEVER BEFORE
A BLEEDING WAG IS FADING AWAY
ONCE YOU NEEDED ME
FOR SPENDING DELIGHT
BUT BELOW THIS FUNNY MASK
THERE'S A CRYING FACE

THE WAY THAT I SMILE IS THE WAY THAT I CRY
BUT YOU'LL NEVER REALIZE
MY REPUTATION IS THE ONE OF A FOOL
NO WATCH HOW A POET DIES
HEAR HIS CRIES

AND I DEDICATE MY ROSES TO NO ONE
CAUSE THERE IS NO MIND TO HELP ME TO SEE
THE REASON WE NEED
A LIGHT FOR THE LONESOME
AND NO ONE TO DRINK
THE BLOOD THAT I BLEED

THE POET INSIDE - WASN`T GIVEN A CHANCE
SO HE HAD TO LIVE APART
AND I REALIZED - MY BEST FRIEND AM I
AND NOT THOSE PARASITES
WHO TRY TO STARE INTO MY HEART
THE WAY THAT I FEEL IS THE WAY THAT I HEAL
MY BODY AND SOUL AND MY LIFE
AND I KNOW YOU JUST THINK I'M A FOOL
NOW WATCH HOW A POET FLIES, SEE ME RISE

AND I DEDICATE MY ROSES TO NO ONE
CAUSE THERE IS NO MIND TO HELP ME TO SEE
THE REASON WE NEED
A LIGHT FOR THE LONESOME
AND NO ONE TO DRINK
THE BLOOD THAT I BLEED

[SOLO]

AND I DEDICATE MY ROSES TO NO ONE
CAUSE THERE IS NO MIND TO HELP ME TO SEE
THE REASON WE NEED

CAUSE THERE IS NO MIND TO HELP TO SEE
THE REASON WE NEED
A LIGHT FOR THE LONESOME
AND NO ONE TO DRINK
THE BLOOD THAT I BLEED
 

 

Tears Of A Mandrake

Gaze at the leaving clairvoyant
Predicting invasions and pain
A child cansee through the stranger...
The Watcher's eye, the noble liar

It's time for the merchant and his help for sale...
Blades to cut wicked flesh
On a merchantman he counts his money
Then he sails away
The sea he'll cruise is blood and fire

Oh father I can't see a lane
They make you a pawn in the game
For we all are deaf, dumb and blind

After the storm when the magic has gone
Drown in the tears of a mandrake
Pawn in the game, invisible chains
Try to move, you'll feel as they graze

After the storm when the magic has gone
Drown in the tears of a mandrake
Fading away, the final decay
Try to move, break out from your chains

When you're off to the hall of the serpent
See the cynic who's counting his gold
While gun runners, priests and clairvoyants
Are dancing around the rising demon

You are taught to eat up all the crap they shit
Parading your nuts on a silver plate
Kill your brother by the blade they sell
For you don't unite
They reap your bondage sowing evil

There's no use to tell what I've seen
They know how to make you believe
Just what they want you to know
 

 

Theater Of Salvation

"I've heard voices in my dream.
Made me stand up, helped me see. Aaah... Oohhh...
Visions called him to awake his mind,
to find his horizon
and find out what may be behind.

[vision:] "Take what you need,
you can find in the back of your soul!
Wake up the king in yourself
to be mighty and bold!"

Seasons of doubt,
fear and silent desires of life have gone by.
Visions have called back my longing
for freedom tonight. Made me sigh...
Wasting my life till the day
that the voice has appeared... Made me see:
I am the one that can make it
through times of despair; I am free!"

They built up a symbol of warning
to give me fear,
to keep me away from paradise
although it's so near,
expecting I don't take a look
at what is behind: Freedom calling...

Take a look at the open gate!
Walk on and don't be afraid!
Free your mind in what they call
it's the heart of temptation!

...oh... Go the way!

Take a look at the open gate!
Walk on and don't be afraid!
Free your mind in what they call
it's the heart of temptation!

Night after night
I remembered the word of the priest:
"Thou shalt not! Never give in to the promises made by the beast,
so help me god!
Never give in to temptation or you'll burn in hell a long, long time!
Forever-eternal-salvation is
what I can sell if you stay blind!!!"

But I wanna know what lies behind the gate of their hell.
And I won't believe all the stories that
they always tell. I got the mind to find out what is right and what's wrong.
Freedom calling...

Queen of mine I long for you.
Tell me why to wait to find our joy!
It's your wait for heaven's door,
your fear that makes them grow
and let you forget today.

I'll never go and I'll stay on your side.
They'll never know what I give to you
is a piece of paradise.

Heaven can wait! NOW I'm living!
Heaven can wait forevermore.
Heaven can wait!
I am to live like I want to also before I'll die.
Heaven can wait! You can't thrill me!
Heaven can wait, we dance till we die!
Heaven can wait! Welcome to the
THEATER OF SALVATION

"Hallelujah, hallelujah!"
I hear the man in black, his
"Hallelujah, hallelujah!"
He tries to keep me back. No!
"Hallelujah, hallelujah!"
Lock up the gates to wisdom
Hallelujah, hallelujah...
Too late! I've found the kingdom...

Hallelujah, hallelujah!
I see a band of angels.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Freedom calling...
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
I do not fear the stories.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Freedom calling me...

Don't you see it? Don't you feel it?
Freedom calling...

(...and the vision finally added: "Go and find the answers in yourself;
and always remember: 'You're already living.'
Don't let them scare you on your quest for answers and for salvation -
for real salvation...)
