All lyrics by Wolfsheim
1. Intro (1:20) Hallo, wir sind Wolfsheim...
2. The sparrow and the nightingales (5:10)
How long have you been free
In this world of hate and greed
Is it black or is it white
Let's find another compromise
And our future standing still
We're dancing in the spotlight
Where's the leader who leads me
I'm still waiting
Leaving home
And god is on your side
Dividing sparrow from the nightingales
Watching all the time
Dividing water from the burning fire...
Insight
Leave a light on in the night for me
that I can find you
Remember when we both were young and reckless
and so curious
Now you're hiding from your child...
and not day's dawning
Remember that you felt alive sometimes
And god is on your side
Dividing cruelty from tenderness
Watching all the time
Dividing fiction from reality
Move in circles walk on lines
No human being in sight
Calm the winds and calm the seas
Let's try another kind of peace
Who fights this holy civil war
A million men in uniform
Wo ist der Führer der mich führt
Ich warte immernoch
And god is on your side
Dividing presence from history
Watching all the time
Dividing deaf men from the listening ones
Leave a light on...
And god is on your side
Dividing soldiers from the fisher men
Watching all the time
Dividing warships from the ferry boats
3. A look into your heart (3:40)
4. It's not too late (4:05)
5. Annie (4:12)
6. Kissing the wall (3:40)
7. Now I fall (3:33) 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...


8. For you I'm bleeding (4:31) Here I am
Darkest night
Is masking the cold
That embraces me

Can't you see
Truth means fear
Your lying breath
Never will resist

Alone I sit here waiting
Watching the world
In it's agony

Because I have seen
My future
My crying face
No cure I'm longing for

And no healer
Heals the evil
I sought truth for you
Condemned to fail

For you, for you
I'm bleeding
And every new dawn
Ends in bitterness


9. Elias (4:37)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


10. A million lovesongs (7:05) A million miles from here
I stand alone and shout
Not any thoughts, not any doubts

I look around and nothing
I can see is true
This is anything but new

I feel a silent rain
pour down impassively
A solemn nightfall kills the light
that longs to be...

A needless pain...
You bear in vain...
Unless you can see
there is nothing to sustain

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...


11. Closer still (3:18) The watery light that mirrors in your
desirable eyes
The way you move your lips
While talking to somebody else
I move a little closer just to hear
what you say
You speak of loneliness but here's a soul
adoring you

It's a wounded heart
It breaks in two
And in its pain
It sings for you

It's a wounded heart
That feels afraid
Moves closer still
Fulfills its fate

Your freedom's poverty that
you do not recognize
The way you stalk the night
While talking to somebody else
I move a little closer just
to know who you are
A slightly glowing ember
I'm the breeze igniting you


12. Upstairs (4:15) I am dreaming, I'm screaming
But making no sound
I'm the nightmare from upstairs
and I'm coming down

From silence to violence
in a single step
Try to leave or retrieve
what I can't forget

I can see what I'll be
when I'm going on
I can't heal it, can't feel
If I'm doing wrong

It's burning, it's yearning
it's spinning around
Let it shout, tear it out, save me
from this unholy being...


13. Old man's valley (2:57) I said goodbye to the river...
the mountains and the trees
Can't you hear they are singing
their song of birth and agony

I said goodbye to the seasons that were never insincere
By myself I am singing their song
that no one wants to hear

Many words, many dreams I've got to give
But int this racing world there is no place for me
And when I leave today no memories remain...


14. A broken whisper (2:35) Silence slowly comes to me...
embraces me so right to keep me cold...
A thought that's drifting through my mind...
Struggles to be free and waits alone...

Embraces me... so tight...
Struggles to... be free...

We turn to stone
We don't find home

Can you hear this broken whisper?
Can you hear it how it calls?
We turn to stone!
We don't find home!


15. A new starsystem has been explored (4:13)
Ist dies noch mein Gesicht
Ich hör' meine Stimme nicht!
Ich habe Angst zu sehen,
dies könnte alles vergehen.

Mein Herz, es rast so schnell.
Dieser Schmerz so grell.
Welch' großer Sternenheld,
Des' Wort zu Staub zerfällt!

Ich hab' den Tod der Sterne gesehen!
Sie waren von Rot so heiß...
So wunderschön

Deep-Space-Overdose
Frei und zügellos
Deep-Space-Overdose
Verloren rettungslos

Ist dies der dumpfe Klang,
Mit dem die Zeit begann?
Ich habe Angst zu sehen,
Sie könnte nie vergehen!

Die Welt ein Schattenbild,
Verlangen ungestillt.
Ein blinder Menschentraum,
Verloren in Licht und Raum.

Ich hab' den Tod der Sonnen gesehen!
Sie waren von Blau so kalt...
So wunderschön!

Deep-Space-Overdose
Tief und grenzenlos
Deep-Space-Overdose
Alt und ruhelos


16. Leave no deed undone (3:59) From the moment you wake up
you cannot feel free
There are so many things in this world
you can't see
Just don't keep on leaving
your dreams behind
Have the heart to see you'll get
trapped in your mind

It's like an impurity in your mind
Furtive ruin that
hails from behind
Get rid of the demon
that darkens you sun
Go on... go on...
leave no deed undone

You don't really depend
on material plight
And the way you live...
it is simply not right
You just have to get rid
of your own demands
Fight against yourself
for a second chance

No escape
Every further step you'll ever make
Will drive you on to me
And I will set you free

Sometimes it's too easy
just to be scared
No-one promised
your life would be fair
There's always a reason for you to run
Away... with me... leave no deed undone


17. Übers Jahr (3:53) Spuren im Schnee führen an dir vorüber
Forstklare Winde im Mondenschein
Endlose Stunden voll gläsernem Schweigen
Wachst du beharrlich in tiefer Nacht

Bricht dann die Stille
Zerfließt ein verschlafenes, karges Verlangen
Leise verweht sich der Nebel
Endlich voller Licht die Welt

Tiefgrüne Wiesen, schattenkühle Wälder
Blühen in der Gunst des Sonnenspiels
Reifende Ähren in wiegendem Tanze
Flüstern ihre Weisen dem Winde zu

Bricht dann die Stille
Neuerlich hernieder, mit diesigem Hauche...
Leise erhebt sich der Nebel
Schließlich tritt die Nacht in die Welt

Wieder sind da Spuren
Im Schnee bei den Bäumen
Der Mond steht alleine
In kalter Nacht

Es ist eine Stille
Ganz tiefe Ruhe
Allmächtiges Schlafen
Leise verliert sich das Leben
Wartet auf den neuen Tag
