1. Elias (3:34) Hear my vioce
It's telling stories
Telling just the truth
About some men
Who don't excuse
Only praying for you
It must be a starving man
Who likes to hear
These crippled minds talk
Greetings from me
Following the wind

I don't want to forget...
...to regret
...to remember all the time
...everything
...all these years

Hear my voice
It's telling stories
Telling just the thruth
About the innocent Elias
Lying next to you
Innocent Elias
Blood red messiahs
Never coming home
Greetings from me
Following the wind

Sonderbar, daß in so viel Religionen die Götter Liebhaber des Häßlichen zu sein scheinen.
Novalis, Das allgemeine Brouillon
Diejenigen Tugenden werden am lautesten gepriesen, zu deren Ausübung weder Gedankenarbeit noch Energieentfaltung, noch Selbstüberwindung geört, vor allem also diesen beiden: Patriotismus und Gottesfurcht.

Sollte die Vermutung nicht gerechtfertigt sein, daß sie an sich überhaupt gar keine Tugenden bedeuten, sondern nur von denjenigen Instanzen dazu gestempelt wurden, die von dieser Auffassung den auffälligsten Vorteil haben: vom Staat und von der Kirche?
Arthur Schnitzler, Aphorismen und Betrachtungen


2. Lovesong (Club Mix) (6:19) Wait my dear... no jealousies
Silly thing... you can't know how I feel

Come take my hand I will show you the flame
Burning secrets, burning wishes... your name

Don't be insecure, don`t be afraid... I'll hold you tight
Oh, virgin weakness, infinite sweetness... that's you
So let's dance all alone

I want to kiss you, want to feel you deep
Your silky skin, a tender touch,
A sigh that promises so much
I want to kiss you, want to feel you deep
And so we dance

Nothing ever spoils my joy of loving you,
Of looking in your eyes... I couldn't be that blind
That I won't crave for you
And we still dance all alone

I want to kiss you, want to feel you, want to drown in your desire
Your silky skin a tender touch
A sigh that promises so much
I want to kiss you, want to feel you so deep...


3. Now I fall (3:32) Sometimes I can't fall asleep
You lie beside me and I weep
Dancing shadows on the wall
Once you caught me... Now I fall

Sometimes I feel low and trust
Turn to anger and disgust
Crawling darkness in between
No light in reach... No silver sheen

Sometimes I feel so ashamed
To be mercilessly framed
Idle hands and eyes that stare
But no escape that I would dare

... love and trust...

Pain increasing every day
No thruth left I won`t betray
One day our way leads to an end
Why do I cry... I understand

That it's too late for me to go
I should have left you years ago
Beyond this point of no return
Hatred's flame will ever burn

... every day...


4. Where greed talks (3:07) Here's to you... my friend...
Here's a kind of love for you
Can you see my eyes... my view turns away
Dancing shades on my face... that's where stars cannot shine
Silence... is coming soon today...
You think you're right
But it works inside
It's started long ago
You're bored by your ruined life
But you think it must be so...
Why can't you see... these staring sick eyes everywhere
It's a sin... that's a fact you can't deny...
Blow away these walls...
Your life a train just passing by...
These always watching eyes...
This killing voices...
Always talks to me...
Always spinning around
Silence... is coming soon today

5. Youth & greed (4:12) She once was 17 but she never fell in love
Because she never felt the same
Like the other ones at school
Like all the other boys and girls around

Misery - talk to me
Youth and greed - walk with me

Now she's 33 but there isn't anything
That really changed in her life
Not a moment not a while
She is married, bore a child
Growing old, growing older all the time
And she cries

A whining sound slips from her mouth
Trapped in here and no way out

Wait a while - wait a while
Mommy's pills will bring you to the other

Wait a while - wait a while
Daddy's razor-blades will make you fell so fine


6. Anybody's window (909 Remix) (4:33)
7. It's not too late [don't sorrow] (Long Version) (6:14)
Du bist alt, sitzt den ganzen Tag am Fenster, beobachtest das Leben, das so rücksichtslos an dir vorbei läuft.

Mit zittrigen Händen durchstöberst du deine blassen Erinnerungen. Deine Welt ist klein, alter Mann !"
aus "Don't sorrow", Wolfsheim '88

9. Real (3:39) Now that I am back out there
Once more scared
Misgivings haven't gone
Inside this human race
No touch of grace
And still no place to go
I know it's up to me
To decide if this is real
But I'm walking to and from
Always thinking about the ways I chose
Welcome back yesterday... not far away... I'll keep an eye on you
Tell me how could I forget all these angers I once had
Should I start again... to find the same... that I once left behind
Then tell me why should I forget all these dreams that I still have
Another time... another turn, I thought
But now I know that's wrong
This life will still remain the same
If I don't change a thing myself
I know it's up to me...

CD 2 (limited) Live at Strange Ways Festival Tour 1994
1. Kaufraush (3:38) Fear that threatens you inside
You can run but you can`t hide
Things you've never seen before
And more... and more... and more...

Strange ideas you have been thaught
And false prophets got you caught
No way out... this cage is made of thoughts
Get more and more

Work your finger to the bone
For all these useless things you own
Happiness can not be bought
But you want more and more

You can't control your hunger
Deep down within
You can't solve the mistery
Of right and sin
No apperent difference
Will make it clear
Not the slightest trace of hope
Relieves your fear

Envy and prosperity
Wrapped in concrete
Draw the bitter consequence
Entire defeat
Trapped in neon wilderness
Oh, wasted land
Fat and ugly humanoids
Can't find no vent

2. Angry today (4:25)
3. This time (3:05)
4. (The obvious fact that) scars remain (and how to cope with it) (3:23)
Grapes of wrath are fruits of passion
Fulsome hands don't feel repentance
Seek the reason, find an answer
Why do only scars remain... mirror, mirror on the wall

A mean and ugly, calm but painful
Feeling you can't understand
A taste of freedom, insufficient
But it's all that's left to be... mirror, mirror on the wall

Don't be frightened, don't be anxious
A new attempt and you fall further down
Come on defy indifference
And the sun will shine for you again... mirror, mirror on the wall


5. Faith (2:52) I won't care
If I must leave today
This world was mine
Sometimes
Moments blue
And moments true
With you

Eternity is not what I am longing for
I will walk my way... aimlessly

6. Following you (5:12)
