HEART OF THE NIGHT (Tommy Clauss/Jerry Schafer/Peter Kumpf)

Day after day, night after night
my heart is set on you
hand touching heart, lady in the dark
I changed my point of view
I see your picture
you say you're older, girl I know
Red is for danger
but your green eyes say: Let's go

Heart of the night
in the heart of the night
I've been searchin'
Heart of the night
in the heart of the night
I've been dreamin' of you

You got the power with your move
in high heel shoes
They're talking about ya
oh, but I ain't got the blues
Sweet surrender, you're pretendin'
I'm not sure, red is for danger
but you're green eyes give me more

Heart of the night
in the heart of the night
I've been searchin'
Heart of the night
in the heart of the night
I've been dreamin' of you

LINE OF FIRE (Tommy Clauss/Jerry Schafer/Peter Kumpf)

Now they take some beatin'
when the chips are down
losin' blood behind enemy lines
on the dark side of town
Don't wanna be a hero
but it's too late for cover
an open road
Don't wanna be a hero
but it's too late for cover
fightin' each other

In a line of fire
it's a hard way to run, run in a gun
In a line of fire
it's a hard way to run, run in a gun

Oh girl, am I dreamin'
was the prize too high?
When your heart's pumpin' man is sayin':
You gotta fight or die

Don't wanna be a hero, no
but it's too late for cover
an open road.
Don't wanna be a hero, no no no
but it's too late for cover
fightin' each other

In a line of fire
it's a hard way to run, run in a gun
In a line of fire
it's a hard way to run, run in a gun

LIVE YOUR LIFE FOREVER (Tommy Clauss/Jerry Schafer/Peter Kumpf)

You see an endless light
You dream of eternal life
Do you wanna live your life forever?

Ridin' on wings of treason
escapin' in darkest night
Savin' that only reason
for enterin' the realm of light

This jewel grants him fame and fortune
and eternal life
That crystal sun locks gates of heaven
and closes gates of hell

Live your life forever
ride the endless flight
Live your life forever
tonight we'll burn the sky

Now then a thousand years passed by
he's still in his prime of life
Yeah, still under the spell of ancient times
cursing his former crime

His jewel brought him pain and ravin'
but there's no deliverance
Still baring all the ways to heaven
still locking gates to hell

Live your life forever
ride the endless flight
Live your life forever
tonight we'll burn the sky

LOST SON OF THE KING (Tommy Clauss/Jerry Schafer/Peter Kumpf)

In the rise of a new day
softly touched by the sun
He woke up in a strange world
didn't know where to run, nowhere

Driven by the mortal sins
revenge replaced his rage
The sky turned dark, as a sign of a fight
he knew the journey begins

Lost son of the king
he's a fighter for freedom and glory
Lost son of the king
ridin' on wings of illusion

On the risin' tide by the water's edge
that's where they found his head
A broken spell for the heir to the throne
he was slain to the wind

Lost son of the king
he's a fighter for freedom and glory
Lost son of the king
riding on wings of illusion

Lost son of the king

Lost son of the king, he's a fighter
and he's fightin' for freedom and glory

CRY OF THE NILE (Tommy Clauss/Jerry Schafer/Peter Kumpf)

Ten thousand gave their blood
to realize a dream
Enslaved with a broken will
to build the palace of the king

Their sweat in the burin' sun
in chains through desert sand
Wairin' for eternal fire
just a spin on the wheel

Gone with the wind
Fighting the fight forever
Gone with the wind
No one returns

Cry of the nile

The tears ran off long ago
no more cries are heard
Relics of pain and rage
still standin' in the sand

Admired by fools
who still have the same dream
of voices out of light
on the edge of tomorrow

Gone with the wind
Fighting the fight forever
Gone with the wind
No one returns

Cry of the nile

GONE FOR TOMORROW (Tommy Clauss/Jerry Schafer/Peter Kumpf)

Are you strong when you tremble
strong enough, back against the wall
Do you break your decision
oh yeah, one more fight and you're ready to call

Another game in your lifetime
another road to go
One more piece of those broken dreams
and one more trace in your soul

Hold on, a new chance is coming
keep believin' in your heart
Hold on, if you think you're on the wrong way
keep on runnin' til the end

Gone for tomorrow
Lost for today
Gone for tomorrow
On and on and on
One heartbeat away

Ain't you sad when you tremble
when your sun went down and no one knows
Don't you know that's the moment
strikin' back and you're movin' on

Hold on, till a new chance is coming
keep believin' into your heart
Hold on, if you think you're on the wrong way
keep on runnin' til the end

Gone for tomorrow
Lost for today
Gone for tomorrow
On and on and on
One heartbeat away

THE LOOK OF YOUR EYES (Tommy Clauss/Jerry Schafer/Peter Kumpf)

With the first light in the morning
I'm awakin' from the night
there's a magic kind of feelin' in my heart
And the journeys through my memories 
seem to have no end
I still hear your words, whispered to the wind

Is our love still growin' stronger
to go through all the things we know
I believe, when I look into your eyes

We've been many times together
that's why I still dream of you
and those memories are written in my soul
Feel your tenderness, your softly touch
my heart lies in your hands
Like a fallen leaf, captured in the wind

Is our love still growin' stronger
to go through all the things we know
I believe, when I look into your eyes

I believe, when I look in your eyes ...

SHE'S A LIAR (Tommy Clauss/Jerry Schafer/Peter Kumpf)

Once in a night a dream made me call her name
fadin' laughter in the wind
Maybe spurious fears, maybe fantasy
this dream could be a nightmare of pain

Since that night, it forced me to search for the answer
But when I tried to see behind her eyes
suspicions, they were starting to rise

She's a liar, I know she's dreamin' of an other
Desire, the only thought that keeps me alive

Every sleepless night, I face the fear she's gone
it's screwin' me up in my mind
I can see her smile, layin' fixed ideas
I'm torn between my wrath and her eyes

Since that day, I prayed our love could have a tomorrow
Then I longed for the dark to dispell all those fears
suspicions they turned out to be right

She's a liar, I know she's dreamin' of an other
Desire, the only thought that keeps me alive ...

She's a liar, I'm sure she'll leave me for an other
She's a liar, oh she's a liar ...

FIRE AND ICE (Tommy Clauss/Jerry Schafer/Peter Kumpf)

Some people say, that they have the answer
think that they saved the sense of their lives
A crime of convenience is to trust in a leader
but I feel the way to this sense is a line of deceit

Depraved thoughts just to reach a horizon
maybe a genuine device
Trials to live free, the impulse of survival
yours and the world seem like fire and ice

Ideas of great promise are the eastern solutions
these conquests in yourself cause a stony path
Recognize soon, and disclose all delusions
if you face a dead end, make haste and then hunt it to death

Depraved thoughts just to reach a horizon
maybe a genuine device
Trials to live free, the impulse of survival
yours and the world seem like fire and ice

Fire and ice, fire and ice ...
