Lullaby 02:33
Loving mother: Try to sleep my tender dreamer, Feel my touch, my skin so warm. In my arms your body is rocking At the rhythm of my breath. Come on!…close your eyes… I’ll stay the whole night To take care of you While your dreams come true.

Let me introduce myself. Some people think that I’m a common man But I’m here to tell you the truth, I'm gonna tell you how the story goes through. I haven’t got my own dreams, I have to steal yours I’m only a dreamers’ thief ( I ) have to steal your Gotta steal your dreams I haven't got mine That's why I have never seen Fishes dancing on the clouds And I’ve never heard the trees That whisper so loud! And my spirit turns Into a crazy, creeping sea And a woman I don’t know She cries and She lies for me Hangin’on her dreams I can feel Unreal colours over me But I know You’ll wake up And my visions will stop You’ve gotta keep on dreaming for me right now You’ve gotta keep on dream on on on dream on on on … The first time I noticed what was I My brother slept so close to me That my lips Were kissing his skin In a while I was in such a diferent place That still today I can see it clear as a summer day Then a music Started to play From a wooden box… ( I ) recognized that sound So close to me. When I looked My brother stood Like a piece of rock With eyes made of gold But he could not see me. And my voice Rose to your ears No sign on you ( I ) can't help but thinking: “Can you hear sounds from my lips?” And your steps That walk on through My body nude ( I ) can’t help but thinking: “Can you feel the touch of my skin?” I was like air to him! (You) cannot see me (You) cannot hear me (You) cannot touch me (You) cannot heal me I can see you I can hear you I can touch you I can change your dreams.

Sunbeams dancing on the streets Life smiles in front of me Like laughing children by my side I feel a smooth joy deep inside Mornings like this make me think ‘bout the things I really need The sun is here instead of night I feel a smooth joy deep inside Grass is playing with my feet Morning dew covers the leaves It’s beauty only for my eyes I feel a smooth joy deep inside But the night is loyal partner Always comes and fills my pain Like a hopeless sterile rain (bis) When frozen darkness Replaces the day Stars keep on singing Though I am deaf Sing song of dreamings I cannot dance How can I hear them When I’m alone? When won’t I need Another soul? When will I dream Dream on my own? And those were wandering and wondering days. Our little friend woke up one morning after one of those white, endless nights with something new on his mind. He knew what to do with his life. He was gonna spend his life time searching and looking and waiting for a golden and perfect and golden and perfect spheric dream to live it in. He touched hundreds of skins night after night, but no golden dream was found. Only a mix of desires, nightmares, and wills instead. But one night he had a chat with a drunk old man and he said: Drunk man: “Do you wanna hear a story?. It’s about a man that can make your dreams come true. You've just gotta be cruel enough to find him..to find him..Do you wanna know his name?. His name is The Lorring, The Lorring, The Lorring….”

While the crying moon is knocking At my door And the silence comes and tells me “Where are you from?” (bis) The blue darkness seems to be All over my skin I’m close to find my golden, My perfect dream I can feel It’s getting closer I can feel I’ve been So desperately in need… I’ll do anything for you, My golden dream Through a window warming fire Lights the room And a baby dreams so peaceful Watched by the moon Then the shadows seem to be Another part of me I’m sure I’ve found my golden, My perfect dream I can feel It’s getting closer I can feel I’ve been So desperately in need… I’ll do anything for you, My golden dream It’s easy to get into you The nightmares are still away You have no place to hide I’ve got a dragon here and it’s ready to fight Now I know my treasure is beating here Somewhere in your mind The air has become so thick ( I ) can hardly take a breath I’m afraid a nightmare is here, near But this time I’m the one Who’s gonna keep the place Now I know my treasure is beating here Somewhere in your mind
5.
I’m outside… Mangled, tired and tender Something heats my chest My heart is now on fire But your frozen little face Reminds me my sad duty There is only a way The cruelty guides my hands now Under your flesh I’ll read the way that takes me to my aim Through the fields of pain I shall cross to reach the holy man That can make this dream reality I’m on his hands It’s so unfair What Lorring has demanded me Using that old drunk man He put me on the track to find him Only dreamer’s pain and death Are enough to satisfy him Now I wonder if I can Be so cruel that people shake only hearing my name Under your flesh I’ll read the way that takes me to my aim Through the fields of pain I shall cross to reach the holy man That can make this dream reality I’m on his hands

Lorring: Don’t I look as you expected? What did you want to see? No time for old fairy tales now I know why you come to me There’s something I have to warn you No way back you will find The changes will be forever Are you sure you want to start? Take my hands now! Come to me now! Let me see what’s laying inside your dream… …yes, it’s here… …so shiny under its cover! now I'm gonna set it free You have proved me you deserve it I’ll make it reality You have been so much ambicious As only a human can be So many death and destruction Will have a reward from me Take my hands now! Come to me now! Let me see what’s laying inside your dream… …yes, it’s here… …so shiny under its cover! now I’m gonna set it free You have proved me you deserve it I’ll make it reality

The Leader: Let me introduce myself again I should admit that I’m a different man A different body in a different world too I’m gonna tell ya how the story goes through I have to lead an army Of hungry people Take them to victory, Beat the evil, Give them liberty! The People: He's gonna take us to victory! He's gonna take us to victory! The Leader: Smells of death float in the sky My people move according to my mind Their dirty brown rags crawling on the wet mud Like killer puppets pendant from my hands now I have to lead an army Of hungry people Take them to victory, Beat the evil, Give them liberty! The People: He's gonna take us to victory! He's gonna take us to victory! (musical battle) The People: And The Leader saved the land! And The Leader saved the land!

The Leader: Now that the crowd is sleeping I look at the rotten city And can't help but scream and cry I feel like dying And bad… A strange fog flows through my hands Trying to catch a single special man I´m afraid we´re on an end dead road If your spirits only crowl and crowl… Now that the crowd is sleeping I look at the rotten city And can’t help but scream and cry I feel like dying And bad… I… Gave you freedom and what have you done? Waste your stupid lifes While running out of time!! Now that the crowd is sleeping I look at the rotten city And can't help but scream and cry I feel like dying And bad… All that I know a new land must be waiting for me I’ll take all the men, children , exploring while still they can stand A new age has just begun Only adventures on their souls A star came from the sun today Just to show mw the right way ……but…..what should I do with my present town?…..It will take years to find my paradise and come back…Am I gonna let it die?…For sure, NO! Now come to me And wake up the band And let the music play loud for me With your flesh Our empire will last Conceive your child No matter how Just say goodbye 28 days and nights your bodies are twisting,rockig, heating… Pleasure is here Just take and see And feel it hard And feel the blood Beating and saying goodbye…

The lass: I heard the news You’ve got to leave Our leader wants you to go with him To a place you’ll never find Like all the men in town The lass and the soldier: Looking at you now I cannot believe He’s gonna take you apart from me Hold me, Feel me, Take my breath Out of me All I know I'm gonna wait for you, I swear you, And our love is gonna grow up strong The lass: Till you come back Every night I’ll pray For the hundred seeds That still are living inside me If only one of them Can become your eyes To see me again The lass and the soldier: Waiting, Longing, Sighing, Dying a bit Every night The moon will be The mirror where You can find me All I know I’m gonna wait for you, I swear you, And our love is gonna grow up strong The lass: Till you come back to me (bis)

Oh, when I´m Looking back And I see the fallen men Time seems to Never end I have lost the way back home I have lost my way back home All for a dream! Such a fool I´ve been Its not me From this high, Frozen climb Where the coldness has killed ours Is where I Try to think of the Days that now has past Of the Days that now won´t pass All for a dream! Such a fool I´ve been Its not me
13.
The coldness: Try to sleep my tender dreamer Feel my touch, my skin so cold In my arms your body is rocking At the rhythm of my breath Come on, close your eyes I’ll stay the whole night To take care of you While your dreams come true
