FEAR DETECTOR

MUSIC / WORDS / ARRANGEMENT: DIRKSCHNEIDER / DIRKSCHNEIDER

It came over night – a void of emptiness my fear was running high
I just can’t deny – I’m standing on the edge – behold the blinding light

I’m on the run – to overcome my pain
My shattered brain – will never be the same

Feels like a fear detector – crawling through my mind
Fear detector – stuck behind my eyes
Feels like a fear detector – crawling through my mind
Fear detector – running from your lies

Time for fight or flight – this mad insomnia turns daylight into night
Help me save my life – help me to break free - help me see the light

I’m on the run – to overcome my pain
My shattered brain – will never be the same

Feels like a fear detector – crawling through my mind
Fear detector – stuck behind my eyes
Feels like a fear detector – crawling through my mind
Fear detector – running from your lies
Feels like a fear detector – crawling through my mind
Fear detector – stuck behind my eyes
Feels like a fear detector – crawling through my mind
Fear detector – running from your lies

HOLY INVADERS

MUSIC / LYRICS / ARRANGEMENT: DIRKSCHNEIDER /DIRKSCHNEIDER

You cannot let yourself be canonized
In this cruel world
Everybody keeps on craving
To reach the afterlife

You really want it - will you ever get it?
You need to pay the price

Holy invaders – messing with your mind
Holy invaders – leaving death behind

You can fight to find your own retraction
So control your actions
Find a peaceful way of leaving
To reach the afterlife

You really need it - will you ever see it?
You need to pay the price

Holy invaders – messing with your mind
Holy invaders – leaving death behind

Holy invaders – messing with your mind
Holy invaders – leaving death behind
Holy invaders – messing with your mind
Holy invaders – leaving death behind

PROPHECY

MUSIC / LYRICS / ARRANGEMENT: DIRKSCHNEIDER /DIRKSCHNEIDER

In my frightful way of dreaming
Can’t get enough – your art of leading
I’m the servant – you’re the master
I see it coming – great disaster

Chain me up – turn me on
Drag me through the night
Chain me up – turn me on
Till the morning light

Hear my Prophecy – let me feel your fantasy
Without a voice
Hear my Prophecy – do everything you want with me
Give me no choice

The pleasures of excessive bleeding
Suck me out – groaning and screaming
My heartbeat stops – you slap me, WAKE UP
The work is done – it’s time to clean up

Chain me up – turn me on
Drag me through the night
Chain me up – turn me on
Till the morning light

Hear my Prophecy – let me feel your fantasy
Without a voice
Hear my Prophecy – do everything you want with me
Give me no choice

Hear my Prophecy – let me feel your fantasy
Without a voice
Hear my Prophecy – do everything you want with me
Give me no choice

I’m here – can you see me bleeding now
I’m here – can you see me dying now
I had no choice

EMPTY EYES

MUSIC / LYRICS / ARRANGEMENT: DIRKSCHNEIDER /DIRKSCHNEIDER

Humanity of blindness
Overcoming me
Has become a nightmare and my darkest fantasy
Like some evil creature
Rotting down in hell
Spreading a disease of pain like a deathly knell

Craving for a better side of me
Going places I don’t wanna be

Evil empty eyes
Feel my cold inside
Evil empty eyes

A belly full of crises
Spins the bottle round
Everyone against the law the way that we are bound
Bring light into the darkness
Set the spirit free
The evilness surrounding us destroyed by harmony

Craving for a better side of me
Going places I don’t wanna be

Evil empty eyes
Feel my cold inside
Evil empty eyes

Craving for a better side of me
Going places I don’t wanna be

Evil empty eyes
Feel my cold inside
Evil empty eyes
Good and bad collide
Evil empty eyes

I SEE RED

MUSIC / LYRICS / ARRANGEMENT: DIRKSCHNEIDER /DIRKSCHNEIDER

Adding fire to the flame – you wanna make me see red
Fingers pointing right at me – taking over my feelings
Raising up of voices – air is growing thinner, thinner
All your stupid words – feel my veins getting thicker, thicker
You hear my warning?

So look at me – how I’m raging here

Out of control – I see red, I see red
Out of control – everything is simply red, red, red

Enough is enough – you really wanna make me do that?
Flying like a rocket – blade is in my pocket – I’m screaming
You see? I warned you

So look at me – the end is near

Out of control – I see red, I see red
Out of control – I see red, I see red
Out of control – I see red, I see red
Out of control – everything is simply red, red, red

The end is here – the final frontier

Out of control – I see red, I see red
Out of control – I see red, I see red
Out of control – I see red, I see red
Out of control – everything is simply red, red, red

METAL NEVER DIES

MUSIC / LYRICS / ARRANGEMENT: DIRKSCHNEIDER /DIRKSCHNEIDER

Back when I took my first breath
The days were dark and grey
No belief, no hope – all had nothing to say
Then came the days of changes
I realized the truth
Woke me up – taught me how to fight
Breaking chains – breaking chains
That heavy thunder through the night

Look up see the sign – cause Metal Never Dies
Hands up stand in line – cause Metal Never Dies

And I conquered the stages
Travelling the world
I believed, I owned – I had something to say
I lived a million stories
It was my dream come true
Glory days – I killed it every night
Breaking chains – breaking chains
The man of thunder gets it right

Look up see the sign – cause Metal Never Dies
Hands up stand in line – cause Metal Never Dies
Look up see the sign – cause Metal Never Dies
Hands up stand in line – cause Metal Never Dies

Here I am stronger than ever
Nothing can tear me apart
I’m gonna rock on forever
Metal will stay in my heart

Look up see the sign – cause Metal Never Dies
Hands up stand in line – cause Metal Never Dies
Look up see the sign – cause Metal Never Dies
Hands up stand in line – cause Metal Never Dies
Look up see the sign – cause Metal Never Dies
Hands up stand in line – cause Metal Never Dies

KIDS AND GUNS

MUSIC / LYRICS / ARRANGEMENT: DIRKSCHNEIDER / DIRKSCHNEIDER

Listen up - I got to tell ya
Are you wide awake?
Saw it on the news – a story of abuse
Blew my mind away
Political advisors – rolling of the dices
Are you still wide awake?
Hear the crying voices of children with no choices
Will they take the blame?

Kids and guns – taking lives away
Kids and guns – let us pray – let us pray

They don’t know how to raise their voices
Protect their dignity
Give them a chance - resisting evil plans
That take their freedom away
Shameless exploitation – fighting for salvation
Feeling petrified
Leave those kids alone don’t steal them from their homes
Just fight this on your own

Kids and guns – taking lives away
Kids and guns – let us pray – let us pray

Kids and guns – taking lives away
Kids and guns – taking lives away
Kids and guns – taking lives away
Kids and guns – let us pray – let us pray

LIKE A BEAST

MUSIC / LYRICS / ARRANGEMENT: DIRKSCHNEIDER / DIRKSCHNEIDER

Hello – hello – who’s calling
I’m right behind you
Hello – I can’t hear you
I’m right behind you
Hello – who’s there
Hahaha

Always try to point your mind into the right direction
An endless fight to get it right just chasing my reflection

Never let your popularity - change your path of life
You can choose – your mentality and satisfy your pride

Like a beast – creeping around in the shadows
Like a beast – always creeping around

No need to hide, no need to fight - to find the right reaction
Hold on tight, use your might - you are your own protection

Never let your popularity - change your path of life
You can choose – your mentality and satisfy your pride

Like a beast – creeping around in the shadows
Like a beast – evil eyes in the darkness
Like a beast – they mirror unholy justice
Like a beast – always creeping around

Never let your popularity - change your path of life
You can choose – your mentality and satisfy your pride

Like a beast – creeping around in the shadows
Like a beast – evil eyes in the darkness
Like a beast – they mirror unholy justice
Like a beast – always creeping around

DON'T WANNA SAY GOODBYE

MUSIC / LYRICS / ARRANGEMENT: DIRKSCHNEIDER / DIRKSCHNEIDER

Trying to remember
The days and the nights
Time we spent together
Always in my mind
Now I am alone here
The pieces fall apart – in me
The pieces fall apart in me

How am I supposed to live without you
My emptiness - a killer – a disease
Missing your warm smile in the morning
Now you try to tell me that I’m free
Now you try to tell me that I’m free

Don’t you know – what you mean to me
My everlasting dream
Tears they fall – and flood the ground
Like a heavy rain
Don’t you know – what you mean to me
My everlasting dream
Tears they fall – and flood the ground
Like a heavy rain

I Don’t wanna say goodbye forever
I Don’t wanna say goodbye to you
I Don’t wanna say goodbye forever
I Don’t wanna say goodbye

I Don’t wanna say goodbye forever
I Don’t wanna say goodbye to you
I Don’t wanna say goodbye forever
I Don’t wanna say goodbye – to you

UNBROKEN

MUSIC / LYRICS / ARRANGEMENT: DIRKSCHNEIDER / DIRKSCHNEIDER

I’ve fought some battles in my mind
But truth I never left behind
Hold me up to see the shining light in this real world
Take me out on a joyful ride – what a feeling

Show me a reason to change
Give me a reason to change
Still unbroken - unbroken

You are the one who showed me light
Without your flame I can’t survive
You led my way before I lost the game to this madman
Sliding down on a deep incline – am I dreaming?

Show me a reason to change
Give me a reason to change
Still unbroken

I’ve been always on the run – building my own empire
Satisfaction never done – I will fight forever

Show me a reason to change
Give me a reason to change

MARCHING TANK

They tried to hypnotize me – to crush my pride
But they will never grind me – bowing down to me
Fill me with anger – I will never hide
So they can kiss my ass – this is not goodbye

Nobody hears my – my inner cry
And that is why I’m here a soldier of the metal world
And you are the reason why I love my crazy world

Heeding the voices in the head – leading the way
Telling where to go
Heeding the voices – voices in the head
No true regret – forever marching on
I’m the Marching Tank

Now I will hypnotize you – will raise your pride
I’ll find a way to praise you – watching over you
Removing anger – no more need to hide
I’m here to rock your ass – this is not goodbye

Now you will hear my – my sonic cry
And that is why I’m here a soldier of the metal world
And you are the reason why I love my crazy world

Heeding the voices in the head – leading the way
Telling where to go
Heeding the voices – voices in the head
No true regret – forever marching on
I’m the Marching Tank

Heeding the voices in the head – leading the way
Telling where to go
Heeding the voices – voices in the head
No true regret – forever marching on

Heeding the voices in the head – leading the way
Telling where to go
Heeding the voices – voices in the head
No true regret – forever marching on
I’m the Marching Tank

THUNDER ROAD

MUSIC / LYRICS / ARRANGEMENT: DIRKSCHNEIDER / DIRKSCHNEIDER

Light it up – ready, aim, fire
The word is out – pressure’s getting higher
Down the blazing trail – with weapons made of steel
The rage is here for real – to destroy that turning wheel

Ride out – wipe out
Black out – step out
Unstoppable regime

This is war
Chaos running wild
Hear those engines roar
Victory – on the thunder road
This is war
Future’s on the line
See the bodies burn
Victory – on the thunder road

Lights are out – fall into submission
Cry for help – heading for rescission
Taking all away – your pride and all your rights
Fading destiny – for those who lost the fight

Ride out – wipe out
Black out – step out
Unstoppable regime

This is war
Chaos running wild
Hear those engines roar
Victory – on the thunder road
This is war
Future’s on the line
See the bodies burn
Victory – on the thunder road

This is war
Chaos running wild
Hear those engines roar
Victory – on the thunder road
This is war
Future’s on the line
See the bodies burn
Victory – on the thunder road

MIDNIGHT STRANGER

MUSIC / LYRICS / ARRANGEMENT: DIRKSCHNEIDER / DIRKSCHNEIDER

A loner cruising on a windy night
Empty streets and here I am with nothing on my mind
What’s going on here?
Am I alone here?
Still crazy voices in my head
Seems like a miracle to me and it feels like a shot of heaven

I’m all alone and all the neon lights fade out
And now’s the time that the stranger moves about

He is a midnight stranger – someone to believe
Midnight stranger – king of the night internally
He is a midnight stranger – almighty on the streets
Midnight stranger – nothing is ever as it seems

Around the midnight hour I’m calling out
Into the distance but my weakness lags behind
It’s my redemption
My resurrection
Just an illusion of a dream
It should be reality but I know it was never meant to be

I’m all alone and all the neon lights fade out
And now’s the time that the stranger moves about

He is a midnight stranger – someone to believe
Midnight stranger – king of the night internally
He is a midnight stranger – almighty on the streets
Midnight stranger – nothing is ever as it seems

Oh… Oh… Oh….
I am winding the through the night
And the dreams I hold are never right

I’m all alone and all the neon lights fade out
And now’s the time that the stranger moves about

He is a midnight stranger – someone to believe
Midnight stranger – king of the night internally
He is a midnight stranger – almighty on the streets
Midnight stranger – nothing is ever as it seems

SPEED SEEKER

MUSIC / LYRICS / ARRANGEMENT: DIRKSCHNEIDER / DIRKSCHNEIDER

When you look deep down inside
Tell me what you see
I try to live a lion’s pride
You try to conquer me
I was born to spread the word
To shake the devil and see
I am like a mountain bird
And you’re just prey to me

Winning the race will bring delight but also pain
The highest score should always be the greatest aim

Speed Seeker – it’ll take you up or down
Speed Seeker – try not to lose the crown
Speed Seeker

It’s up to you to make your move
Cause I was born to lead
Are you really in the groove
Cause I’m the devil indeed

Winning the race will bring delight but also pain
The highest score should always be the greatest aim
Setting the pace it feels alright yet so insane
The quest for more means all to me I need the fame

Speed Seeker – it’ll take you up or down
Speed Seeker – try not to lose the crown
Speed Seeker

Winning the race will bring delight but also pain
The highest score should always be the greatest aim
Setting the pace it feels alright yet so insane
The quest for more means all to me I need the fame

Speed Seeker – it’ll take you up or down
Speed Seeker – try not to lose the crown
Speed Seeker
Speed Seeker – it’ll take you up or down
Speed Seeker

TIME CONTROL

MUSIC / LYRICS / ARRANGEMENT: DIRKSCHNEIDER / DIRKSCHNEIDER

Time has come to face this sad reality
Grinding down our precious sacred ground
Gambling our acceptance of society
Play the game – take the blame
Toss the winning coin

Take the helm – before it’s over
Revenge of higher forces getting closer

Time to take control – and hail your own forgotten words
Time to take control – and take a chance for all it’s worth
Time to take control – and try to break this endless curse
Time to take control – we’re not the owners of the earth

There is no need for all this stupid luxury
Essential goods are slowly running out
We even skim the souls of the minority
Make your mark – on closing dark
Why play this bloody game

Take the helm – before it’s over
Revenge of higher forces getting closer

Time to take control – and hail your own forgotten words
Time to take control – and take a chance for all it’s worth
Time to take control – and try to break this endless curse
Time to take control – we’re not the owners of the earth

Time to take control – and hail your own forgotten words
Time to take control – and take a chance for all it’s worth
Time to take control – and try to break this endless curse
Time to take control – we’re not the owners of the earth
