    STEEL TORMENTOR
    Music: Weikath / Lyrics: Deris

    Headless
    Pulling the machine down
    Coming to the low sound
    Feeling like a real man
    
    Racing
    Flashing from down under
    Flesh and blood and thunder
    Trembling wheel in cold hand
    
    Faster, much faster
    What a human speed disaster
    Deeper, much deeper
    On through the void I cast'er
    
    I'm a steel tormentor
    And I speed 'round ev'ry curve
    I'm a mean imperator
    Of my intimate machine
    
    Turkey
    Near to devastation
    Losing all my patience
    Cannot make this kit fly
    
    Danger
    Muscular contraction
    Out for satisfaction
    Mere intoxication
    
    Nightride, it's nightride
    Try to catch my tail lights
    So sad, I'm so sad
    But you won't ever suck my steel bride
    
    I'm a steel tormentor
    And I speed 'round ev'ry curve
    I'm a mean imperator
    Of my intimate machine
    
    


    POWER
    Music & Lyrics: Weikath

    Can you imagine someone being true
    Turn 'round and put himself in front of you
    Sometimes it's fun
    But then you never know
    How far a thing like this might go
    
    All my life I've 
    Waited for a chance
    To get right out of here 
    And when I had it in my hands
    I could not let it go
    
    We've got the power
    We are divine
    We have the guts to follow the sign
    Extracting tensions from sources unknown
    We are the ones to cover the throne
    
    Try if you can to come where we have gone
    You may achieve what can't be simply done
    Look back and there you are where we have been
    And still there's so much in between
    
    All those years I've travelled 'round this world
    Now I am standing here
    To make you sing these tunes 
    And know they'll never let you go
    
    We've got the power
    We are divine
    We have the guts to follow the sign
    Extracting tensions from sources unknown
    We are the ones to cover the throne
    
    We've got the power
    We are divine
    We have the guts to follow the sign
    Extracting tensions from sources unknown
    We are the ones to cover the throne
    
    We've got the power, we are divine...
    
    


    KINGS WILL BE KINGS
    Music & Lyrics: Weikath

    All you have said is still in my ears
    You must have thought you're infallible
    Oh no oh no
    You're not gonna say that much anymore
    
    Welcome to my peculiar dream
    Fact is that I'm here
    I'm the master of reality
    Hard to see?
    But it's real and you will read me
    
    So many ways to go 
    Before we're sanctified
    Few will be chosen ones
    Until we fade and die
    
    Kings will be kings
    Pawns will be pawns
    Aeons of tears
    Wild and severe
    Blessed be the young
    Strong enough to bear
    What before long will come
    Will be, might never disappear
    
    I know hat pride's before the fall
    How can I fall if there's none left at all
    Tell me, tell me
    How far can one fall from down below?
    
    It's either time or ev'ryone round
    To show us what or who can be
    Exchangeable, disposable
    In the game of life we're playing
    
    Close to eternity
    I spread my wings and fly
    Like from a distant age
    I rule and you obey
    
    Kings will be kings
    Pawns will be pawns
    Aeons of tears
    Wild and severe
    Blessed be the young
    Strong enough to bear
    What before long will come
    Will be, might never disappear
    
    


    MISSION MOTHERLAND
    Music: Weikath & Helloween / Lyrics: Weikath

    So far from our system we came here through space
    To leave poisoned spheres for your race
    Our knowledge we trade for the time shared on earth
    To take and give for what it's worth
    
    On our screens we've been shown your world
    Plead for your welcome, you won't get hurt
    
    Mission motherland
    Another chance
    With sunlit soil and air to breathe
    Is there any place for us to live
    To grow descendants to be free
    
    You gave us resources
    You gave us advice
    To deal with the unknown
    To get humanized
    We've shown your dimensions
    And brought you on ways
    You've never seen yesterday
    
    Hand in hand we will march through time
    So much more to research and find
    
    Mission motherland
    Another chance
    With sunlit soil and air to breathe
    Is there any place for us to live
    To grow descendants to be free
    
    When you hear these words
    We've taken cold refuge in freezers
    To keep us alive
    What we didn't know
    Your central star called Sun
    Sends lethal rays to earth
    Say how many of us died in the streams of light
    Faceless bodies, morbid cries
    Doomed our colonies
    Wake us when you've healed the world
    Save our souls
    
    When will we be as one again
    And fulfill what we understand as
    
    Mission motherland
    Another chance
    With sunlit soil and air to breathe
    Is there any place for us to live
    To grow descendants to be free
    
    


    IF I KNEW
    Music & Lyrics: Weikath

    Loneliness seems like an evil dream
    But reality is life an life is here
    Once my heart was ruled by emptiness
    Harmed because of being too sincere
    
    But now that you've crossed my way
    Could it be we found it again
    
    If I knew that I'm your only one
    I could live and make it through time
    But if one day you'd just be gone
    I wouldn't know how to ever get by
    
    How can I make you feel secure
    We're both the same, I'm king and you are queen
    Understand you make me breathe again
    Tell me all you thoughts and I will see
    
    Take my hand and we'll be there
    Together, someday, somewhere
    
    If I knew that I'm your only one
    I could live and make it through time
    But if one day you'd just be gone
    I wouldn't know how to ever get by
    
    If I knew that I'm your only one
    I could live and make it through time
    But if one day you'd just be gone
    I wouldn't know how to ever get by
    
    I wouldn't know how to ever get by
    I wouldn't know how to ever get by
    I would simply break down and cry
