Lyrics

TONGUE REAPER

MUSIC: DIRKSCHNEIDER / DIRKSCHNEIDER / WIENHOLD / SMIRNOV LYRICS: DIRKSCHNEIDER

Heaven for liars they burn up the sky
Written in fire and lies
Roasted and scrambled and toasted and fried
Raging and rolling the dice

Oh, reach for the seeker
Beware when he knocks on your door
Oh, don’t pray for the preacher
Better - don’t open that door

What a terrible nightmare
Everything's gonna burn
Gotta get out of the fire
The truth - has no way to turn

He's a tongue reaper
Burns in your throat
Tongue reaper’s alive
He's a tongue reaper
Tied up and sold
Ripping your tongue out of sight

We are the hunted, - chased and the damned
Ringing the bell outta time
Bleeding and screaming and covered in lies
Chained up in rivers of crime

No, follow the teacher
Now you can open the door
Go, hide from the keeper
Now you are out of this law

MAKE THE MOVE

MUSIC: DIRKSCHNEIDER / DIRKSCHNEIDER / WIENHOLD / SMIRNOV LYRICS: DIRKSCHNEIDER

I’m sick and tired of being Mister nice guy
No more bloody games no fooling around
I am like a rock and rolling forever
I’m what I am stop being a clown

Don’t hide it – Don’t fight it - I'm gonna turn it on
I'm burning – No turning - I give it all

I Make the move – just make it right
I Make the move - I reach the sky

I don’t give a damn about Mister No one
I’m not gonna change stop dragging me down
Sinners take it all no time for losers
Right between the eyes still loud and proud

So you wanna be a bad boy
Just look at me

KEEPER OF MY SOUL

MUSIC: DIRKSCHNEIDER / DIRKSCHNEIDER / WIENHOLD / SMIRNOV LYRICS: DIRKSCHNEIDER

When the dark is around you
When the darkness came into your soul
It belongs to the creature
When you’re down it gets you all alone

When your life is a ...
Broken piece and a ...
Lost in harm when I'm ...

All alone with the keeper of my soul
Keeper of my soul
Who is the keeper of my soul
Keeper of my soul

When the sun’s in the picture
When the sun comes down into your soul
still belongs to the creature
When you're down it gets you all alone

When your life is a ...
Broken piece and a ...
Lost in harm when I'm ...
All alone with the keeper of my soul……

IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT

MUSIC: DIRKSCHNEIDER / DIRKSCHNEIDER / WIENHOLD / SMIRNOV LYRICS: DIRKSCHNEIDER

When the sun goes down
I been around
Watching the future
I am ready to fight
In the heat of the night
Whatever suits you

I’m ripped to the bone
Never alone
Just done it for you
Telling the tale
Blazing a trail
I’m a Rock’n Roll Soldier

And when I'm all dead and gone
Forever I’ll carry on

In the heat of the night
Longing for the sky
In the heat of the night
Never say good-bye

Been a travelling man
With a hard rockin’ gang
Living the highway
I’ve been up I been down
- Always around
I did it my way

When I’m over and done
And the show must go on
Giving it to you
So open your eyes
Had a hell of a life
It’s my resurrection

RAISE THE GAME

MUSIC: DIRKSCHNEIDER / DIRKSCHNEIDER / WIENHOLD / SMIRNOV LYRICS: DIRKSCHNEIDER

When the eyes are all deceiving
We have to fight this time
There's a voice inside I’m hearing
Gonna have to hold the line

Like a chain reaction
Like a cyber crime
A mental resurrection
A body for a dime

No more fear – No more tears

Raise the game
Never take the blame
Go on raise the game
No more Pain and gain

When the blood inside is freezing
And the heart is icy cold
And the steel begins - bleeding
And the ground is full with bones

In a new tomorrow
Human kind is dead
You will hear the siren
This is the final end!!!

No way out - Scream and shout
High and dry - Silent cry
No more lies - Pay the price

BLOOD ON FIRE

MUSIC: DIRKSCHNEIDER / DIRKSCHNEIDER / WIENHOLD / SMIRNOV LYRICS: DIRKSCHNEIDER

Every morning comes a calling
Another nightmare has arrived
Another day another warning
Another day to scar the eyes

Every evening comes a dreaming
Every night you lose your mind
And at midnight you hear screaming
And the eyes are turning blind

When the darkness starts to shake you
And the finger points the sign
And the soul is close to breaking
And you’re running out of time

It gets your blood on fire
Your blood on fire - Again and Again
It gets your blood on fire Blood on fire
Your blood on fire

It’s the time to fight the shadows
Not the time to let them in
So stand up and find your own way
Let the better times begin

RISING HIGH

MUSIC: KAUFMANN / LYRICS: DIRKSCHNEIDER

Rising from the ashes
Spinning like a wheel
Louder than a screamer
Turning back the sea

Rolling like a thunder
Crashing all the rules
Never going under
Don't take me for a fool

All of my life - and all of my dreams
Not fooling myself anymore
All of my way - now I'm here to stay
I'm ruling - not closing the door

Rising high - rising high
All of my life - rising high
Rising high

Coming out of nowhere
I’ve been lost and found
Like an excavator
Ripping up the ground

Breaking out for freedom
Flying through the sky
Giving you a reason
To raise your hands up high

The Devil Is An Angel

MUSIC: KAUFMANN / LYRICS: DIRKSCHNEIDER

Holy in the morning
Wicked in the night
Hope for you is over

Demon of the darkness
Sacred in the light
Master of the nowhere

Gunned down with fire
Crashing to the ground
Light my dark desire
With a deadly sound

The devil is an angel - the master of the skies
The devil is an angel - the evil in disguise
The devil is an angel - in the dark he is a king
The devil is an angel - never let him spread his wings

Feeding on the dark time
Ready for the strike
Feel my wings of might

I’ve always been around
I’m always here in the shadows
Waiting, scheming, killing,

HUNGRY AND ANGRY

MUSIC: DIRKSCHNEIDER / DIRKSCHNEIDER / WIENHOLD / SMIRNOV LYRICS: DIRKSCHNEIDER

If you're looking for something
And you’re thinking of nothing
If you think you're somebody
One day you'll be lucky

High and dry
Hungry eyes
Read my lips
Sunken ships

We are hungry and angry
We are hungry for you
We are hungry and angry
Hungry and angry for you

Hey you bastard
Hey you slime
Hey you monster
You'll be mine

So I think you’re a nothing
You mean nothing to me
So you try to be someone?
Think you’ll be lucky?

ONE HEART ONE SOUL

MUSIC: DIRKSCHNEIDER / DIRKSCHNEIDER / WIENHOLD / SMIRNOV LYRICS: DIRKSCHNEIDER

So many things that we are trying
Don’t try to bring it down on me
Our world is cruel - so inhuman
You can not put the blame on me

Just like a ship on the horizon
Everyone can see no borderline
One world for all and for the people
We want it all but we need time

Why do we always need a reason
We have so much more to give
Why do we set the world on fire
Driving goes on – dreaming high

One heart - one soul - one world forever
One aim - one goal - one world for all

I’m just sick of all the lying
Cheating hearts surrounding me
No one stops the double dealing
Break the chains and we are free

Do we need the stupid talking
Representing you and me
Corrupted mind and twisted walking
From this two faced wannabe

PICTURES IN MY DREAMS

MUSIC: DIRKSCHNEIDER / DIRKSCHNEIDER / WIENHOLD / SMIRNOV LYRICS: DIRKSCHNEIDER

Every day needs another morning
Every night a star
Waking up in eternal glory
Of memories so far

It's my love out there in the distance
But it feels so close
Far beyond in my own existence
That's what I propose

All my life has been an endless journey
But your love it keeps my world on turning
On ... and on

Reaching out in the midnight hour
Is it what it seems
You're my one never fading flower
Pictures in my dreams

Pictures in my dreams

Every heart needs someone calling
Someone to call home
Every soul needs to tell a story
Never be alone

And now I’ve found the right solution
Never been so close
Now my life’s in the right direction
On the final road

A BITE OF EVIL

MUSIC: KAUFMANN / LYRICS: DIRKSCHNEIDER

I'm crawling out at midnight
Raging until dawn
I'm hiding in the moonlightA
Sunrise I'll be gone

Now my fangs are growing
My fur is turning black
Hate in my eyes still glowing
There's no turning back

I'm sneaking up on you,
I’m ready to attack
And my fangs are hungry
Aiming for your neck

And I’m howling - And I’m screaming
Bloody evermore
And I’m howling - And I’m screaming
Bloodshed on the floor

A Bite of EVIL
Hate in my eyes and I won't turn back
A Bite of EVIL
Better run now time to attack

I see your smell I’ll get you
I’m creeping up on you
My blood still pumping inside
I’ll be all over you

ERASER

MUSIC: DIRKSCHNEIDER / DIRKSCHNEIDER / WIENHOLD / SMIRNOV LYRICS: DIRKSCHNEIDER

You try to take me to the dark side
You try to needle me with pain
You try to cover me with your might
You try to get inside my brain

Crawling around - my feet off the ground
Get out of sight - it's my holy might

Erazer - brainwashing everyone's mind
Erazer - I fight you - I'm one of a kind

Nobody understands your danger
Nobody wants to go that way
Nobody fighting with resistance
No second chance no other day

I am the Nemesis to beat you
I am the one to knock you down
I am the author I’m the savior
The One to put you in the ground

ROSE IN THE DESERT

MUSIC: DIRKSCHNEIDER / SMIRNOV LYRICS: DIRKSCHNEIDER

The world is so restless
So reckless and mean
Everybody is careless
The way I have been

But now I am older
I'm longing for more
Everybody’s gone colder
Colder than before

No more fighting
No more hiding at all
No more crying
No more dying at all

- Try to get out there
Battered and strong
And nothing will stop me
That’s where I belong

I want to grow older
Still looking for more
My blood running colder
Colder than before

No more fighting
No more hiding at all
No more crying
No more dying at all

Like a rose in the desert
Like a rock in the sea
Like a cross on a mountain
No more limits for me
I Never say never
It’s never been me
- Nothing behind me
Lucky to be free

I’m rough like a diamond
Uncut and strong
- Just try to break me
And I’ll prove you wrong

THE WAY

MUSIC: DIRKSCHNEIDER / SMIRNOV LYRICS: DIRKSCHNEIDER

Years are passing by
Pictures in my mind
A life so full of memories
The past I left behind

Places I have been to
Roads I rode along - in time

When I hear the music playing
I hear the inner call
Keep going on forever
Go on and give it all

My voice is growing older
My mind is staying young
So proud I did it my way
The road where I belong

Friends are passing by
Stories in my mind
A headfull of the golden times
Who can ask for more

Read me like an open book
search between the lines
find the page you’re looking for
the answer is inside

WHAT A HELL OF A NIGHT

MUSIC: DIRKSCHNEIDER / DIRKSCHNEIDER / WIENHOLD / SMIRNOV LYRICS: DIRKSCHNEIDER

When I wake up it's so surprising
I feel an icy wind blow
And it's a long way home

I see a light on the horizon
I touch a moonlight shadow
But I can still go on

When the night was nearly over
In the pouring rain
I was trying to get sober
But I love the pain

What a hell of a night - what a feeling
What a hell of a night – hanging from the ceiling
What a hell of a night - I'm freewheeling
What a hell of a night – what I believe in

When my mind starts to remind me
I have to let it go now
Time is moving on

Now so hard to pick the pieces
I had a lot of fun there
Still it’s a long way home
