    EAGLE FLY FREE
    Music & Lyrics: Weikath

    People are in a big confusion
    They don't like their constitutions
    Everyday they draw conclusions
    And they're still prepared for war
    
    Some can say what's ineffective
    Some make up themselves atractive
    Build up things they call protective
    Well you life seems quite bizarre
    
    In the sky a migthy eagle 
    Doesn't care 'bout what's illegal
    On its wings the rainbow's light
    It's flying to eternity
    
    Eagle fly free 
    Let people see
    Just make it your own way
    Leave time behind 
    Follow thw sign
    Together we'll fly someday
    
    Hey, we think so supersonic
    And we made our bombs atomic
    Or the better quite neutronic
    But the poor don't see a dime
    
    Nowadays the air's polluted
    Ancient people persecuted
    That's what mankind contributed
    To create a better time
    
    In the sky a migthy eagle 
    Doesn't care 'bout what's illegal
    On its wings the rainbow's light
    It's flying to eternity
    
    Eagle fly free 
    Let people see
    Just make it your own way
    Leave time behind 
    Follow the sign
    Together we'll fly someday
    Together we'll fly someday
    Forever we'll fly
    Together we'll fly
    Forever we'll fly someday
    
    


    RISE AND FALL
    Music & Lyrics: Weikath

    Once a singer sang 'bout bullshit
    Everyone could see him fall
    And be sure it's been his last hit
    He's never been seen at all
    
    Some dictator felt progressive
    And laid down in the sun
    But his people were agressive
    They killed him with a gun
    
    Sometimes you're wrong
    By some things you have done
    You see fate is too strong
    Nothing's won
    No use for a fight 
    If you're not acting right
    You'll be cut down to size
    Like a lie
    
    It's the rise and fall
    The prize for all
    That ain't nice at all
    Luck is like a ball
    You can't recall or care at all
    So better use your brain!
    
    A little dragon could spit fire
    But never so for something bad
    He didn't know the knight's desire
    To throw a lance into his head
    
    Romeo loved his Juliet
    Their parents told them "Stop"
    Then it all turned out peculiar
    He couldn't get it up
    
    And it's all in vain
    When you're living with pain
    Reap not goods you have grown
    by your own
    Feelings your like
    Disapear over night
    You sip up every grin
    Free to win
    
    It's the rise and fall
    The prize for all
    That ain't nice at all
    Luck is like a ball
    You can't recall or care at all
    You nearly go insane!
    
    A spaceman files the rocket
    That takes him to the stars
    Thinks his wife is in his pocket
    But she's strolling 'round in bars
    
    The king of Los Angeles
    Bought himself a Teddy bear
    And the queen became shameless
    She did it with a chair
    
    Sometimes you're  wrong
    By some things you have done
    You see fate is too strong
    Nothing's won
    No use for a fight 
    If you're not acting right
    You'll be cut down to size
    Like a lie
    
    It's the rise and fall
    The prize for all
    That ain't nice at all
    Luck is like a ball
    You can't recall or care at all
    So better use your brain!
    
    


    DR. STEIN
    Music & Lyrics: Weikath

    Once they killed his monster when it went into a trap
    Now he's making better ones on a higher step
    
    On a warm summer day the doctor went away
    To a place where he could make it real
    His assistant's hips were nice
    So he cloned her once or twice
    Now his hips are aching what a deal
    
    Dr. Stein grows funny creatures
    Lets them run into the night
    They  become great
    Rock musicians
    And their time is right
    
    Sometimes when he's feeling bored
    He's calling it a day
    He's got his computer and they do in their own way
    
    They mix some DNA, some skin and a certain spray
    You can watch it on a laser screen
    And the fellow's blue and gray
    Or sometimes pink and green
    Just check it out on Halloween
    
    Dr. Stein grows funny creatures
    Lets them run into the night
    They  become great politicians
    And their time is right
    
    One night he cloned himself
    Put his brother on a shelf
    But when he fell asleep that night
    It crept up from behind and thought "Well, never mind "
    Took a syringe and blew out his life
    
    Dr. Stein grows funny creatures
    Lets them run into the night
    They become a great possession
    And their time is right
    
    Dr. Stein grows funny creatures
    Let's them run into the night
    They become a great oppression
    And their time is right
    
    


    KEEPER OF THE SEVEN KEYS
    Music & Lyrics: Weikath

    Make the people
    Hold each other's hands
    And fill their hearts with truth
    You made up your mind
    So do as divined
     
    Put on your armour
    Ragged after fights
    Hold up your sword
    You're leaving the light
    Make yourself ready
    For the Lords of the Dark
    They'll watch your way
    So be cautious, quiet, and hark
    
    You hear them whispering
    In the crowns of the trees
    You're whirling 'round
    But your eyes don't agree
    Will 'o' the wisps
    Misguiding your path
    You can't throw a curse
    Without takin' their wrath
       
    Watch out for the seas of hatred and sin
    Or all us people forget what we've been
    Our only hope's your victory
    Kill that Satan who won't let us be-- Kill!
    
    You're The Keeper of the Seven Keys
    That lock up the Seven Seas
    And the Seer of Visions said before he went blind:
    "Hide them from demons and rescue mankind
    Or the world we're all in will soon be sold
    To the throne of the evil payed with Lucifer's gold"
    
    You can feel cold sweat
    Running down your neck
    And the dwarfs of falseness
    Throw mud at your back
    
    Guided by spells
    Of the old Seer's hand
    You're suffering pain
    Only steel can stand
    
    Stay well on your way and follow the sign
    Fulfill your own promise and do what's divined
    The Seven Seas are far away
    Placed in the Valley of Dust, Heat and Sway
    
    You're The Keeper of the Seven Keys
    That lock up the Seven Seas
    And the Seer of Visions said before he went blind:
    "Hide them from demons and rescue mankind
    Or the world we're all in will soon be sold
    To the throne of the evil payed with Lucifer's gold"
    
    Throw the first key into the Sea of Hate
    Throw the second key into the Sea of Fear
    Throw the third key into the Sea of Senselessness
    And make the people hold each other's hands
    The fourth key belongs into the Sea of Greed
    And the fifth into the Sea of Ignorance
                                                      
    Disease, disease, disease my friend
    For this whole world's in Devil's hand
    Disease, disease, disease my friend
    Throw the key or you may die!
    
    On a mound at the shore of the last sea
    He's sitting, fixing your sight
    With his high iron voice causing sickness
    He is playing you out with delight
                                                      
    "Man who do you just think you are?
    A silly bum with seven stars
    Don't throw the key or you will see
    Dimensions cruel as they can be"
    Don't let him suck off your power
    Throw the key...!
    
    An earthquake, squirting fire, bursting ground
    Satan's screaming, and earth swallowing him away!
    
    You're The Keeper of the Seven Keys
    You locked up the Seven Seas
    And the Seer of Visions can now rest in peace
    There ain't no more demons and no more disease 
    And mankind, live up, you're free again
    Yes the tyrant is dead, he is gone, overthrown
    You have given our souls back to light
