Original Sin

I’ve been looking for an original sin
One with a twist and a bit of a spin
And since I’ve done all the old ones
Till they’ve all been done in
Now I’m just looking then I’m gone with the wind
Endlessly searching for an original sin

I’ve waiting for you
since you’ve been born
I’d watch you secretly
but not for long
And since I know all your dreams
I understand what you need
And when I call you
you must go where I lead
Your dreams are so hungry
it’s time now feed

So I bless you with my curse
And encourage your endeavour
You’ll be better when you’re worse
You must die to live forever
I will show you the depths of the night
We can never go wrong
Together we can take it
to the end of the line
My eyes are like a shadow
on you all of the time

And since I know all your dreams
I understand what you need
And when I call you
you must go where I lead
Your dreams are so hungry
it’s time now feed

Midnight Serenade

Come with me
and we know love
We’ll show you
and we will teach you
Take my hand
and learn from us
We’ll touch you
and we will reach you

Come with me
and we know love.
We’ll show you
and we will teach you
Take my hand and learn from us
We’ll touch you
and we will reach you
And you’ll know love forever
And you’ll know love forever more
Forever more

Total Eclipse of the Heart

If light were dark
and dark were light
The moon a black hole
in the blaze of night
A raven’s wing
as bright as tin
Then you my love
would be darker than sin

(turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit lonely
But I don’t know what I miss
(turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit desperate
And I wonder what it is I desire
(turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit nervous
That the best of all the years have gone by
(turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified
And then I see the look in your eyes
(turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I hear a voice
(turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I hear
(turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit restless
And I dream of something wild
(turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit helpless
And I’m lying like a child in your arms
(turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit curious
What it’s like to be a woman and free
(turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified
But then I see you calling for me
(turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart
(turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart

Boy: And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
We’ll be holding on forever
And we’ll only be making it right
‘Cause we’ll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line
My love is like a shadow on you all of the time
I don’t know what to do
And I’m always in the dark
Girl: We’re living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
Both: I really need you tonight
Forever’s gonna start tonight
Forever’s gonna start tonight
Girl: Once upon a time I was falling in love
now I’m only falling apart
There’s nothing I can do
a total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there’s only love in the dark
There's nothing I can say
a total eclipse of the heart....

(turn around)
Every now and then I think I better run away from you
Before it’s too late
(turn around)
But every now and then I know I must go when you lead me
I would go with you through the gates of hell
(turn around)
Every now and then I know there’s no one in the universe
As magical and wondrous as you
(turn around)
Every now and then I know there’s nothing any better
And here’s nothing that I just wouldn’t do
(turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I hear a voice
(turn around, bright eyes)
Now I know I never had a choice

Both: And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you’ll only hold me tight
We’ll be holding on forever
And we’ll only be making it right
‘Cause we’ll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
Boy: I don’t know what to do
And I’m always in the dark
Girl: We’re living in a powder keg
And giving off sparks
Both: I really need you tonight
Forever’s gonna start tonight
Forever’s gonna start tonight
Girl: Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I’m only falling apart
Both: There’s nothing I can do
a total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there’s only love in the dark
Nothing I can do
a total eclipse of the heart
Girl: There’s nothing I can say
a total eclipse of the heart
There’s nothing I can do
a total eclipse of the heart

Boy:
I’ve waiting for you
since you’ve been born
I watched you secretly
but not for long
And since I know all your dreams
I understand what you need
And when I call you
you must go where I lead
Your dreams are so hungry
it’s time now feed

Seize the Night

Come with me and bless the night
Let the darkness be your salvation
Curse the day, escape the light
Break the chains of imagination

Come with me and seize the night
Now’s the time for some inspiration
Leave the day and loose the light
No taboos only new sensations

In the shadows of the city
A hero's waiting for the call
And all the devils are waking up
And all the angels start to fall

In the shadows of the city
They’re dying for a thrill
They’re going out over the edge
They’re moving in for the kill

You gotta curse the day
It’s nothing but a merciless light
So open up your arms
And then you get down on your knees
You suck in all the darkness
And you’re ready now to seize
Seize the night
Seize the night

Bless the night
Before it has a chance to pass
Seize the night
You do what it takes to make it last
Bless the night
Before it has a chance to pass
Seize the night
You do what it takes to make it last
Bless the night
Seize the night
Seize the night right now

Let your dreams out of their cages
Every passion and desire
Let your visions be outrageous
Set your fantasies on fire

Everything will be permitted
There’ll be nothing left to fear
I got the magic in your body
Your inhibitions disappear

You gotta curse the day
It’s nothing but a merciless light
So open up your arms
And then you get down on your knees
You suck in all the darkness
And you’re ready now to seize
Seize the night
Seize the night

Bless the night
Before it has a chance to pass
Seize the night
You do what it takes to make it last
Bless the night
Before it has a chance to pass
Seize the night
You do what it takes to make it last

Come with me and bless the night
Let the darkness be your salvation
Curse the day, escape the light
Break the chains of imagination

Endless Appetite

Forgive me Father
for I will sin
over and over again
Sins without end
Amen
And can there be anything as incandescently sad
as those most tragical times when good vampires go bad?
So many victims washing on the shore
An ocean of pure tears
So many pleas for mercy
Howls of pain
Intoxicating fears
I used my body just like a bandage
I used her body just like a wound
I used HIS body just like a wound
And I never know where they all disappeared
but I can see them
rising up out of my memories now
Just like they're demons rising up from a tomb!
God has left the building!

Well alright,
no stars tonight
The moon must hide
can't bear to see my face
So many moons have passed
So many suns gone down
Too much blood under the bridge
Too many worlds turned upside down

The skies were pure and the fields were green
The fading summer, sixteen-seventeen
The first time I ever drew blood
She was such a beautiful and innocent child
She never knew my soul was cursed for good
I fought to overcome my thirst I thought I could
But when I kissed her lips then I had no control
And the furies all ran wild

And when I grasped for life
I always killed the things for which I yearned
I wish to be a flame and reduce to ashes
But I have never burned
I long to fly in total freedom
and yet these chains keep dragging me down
I want to be an angel or the devil himself
But I am nothing but a creature longing for things I can’t have

And this split goes through my very soul
It’s a wound that never mends
Our desires are elusive
And the hunger never ends
When the world has drawn it’s final breath
and extinguished all the lights
There’ll be nothing left
but a lifeless wasteland and an endless appetite
Nothing left but a soundless heartbeat and a ruthless appetite

The preacher’s daughter let me in her room
In seventeen thirty-two, to love me was her doom
With her silken blood I wrote a poem of love
Upon her ivory skin
And the bashful page of Napoleon the Great
In eighteen hundred thirteen he stood at the gate
When I recall his body I can’t help but think
To consume him was a sin
So many victims washing on the shores
an ocean of pure tears
So many pleas for mercy, howls of pain
Intoxicating fears
I used my body just like a bandage
I used their bodies just like a wound
And I’ll never know where they disappeared
But I can see them rising up out my memories now
Just like the demons rising up from a tomb!

And there is no way ever to apologize,
repent or make amends
No release and no redemption
The hunger never ends

There are those who believe in science
And those who believe in art
There are those who believe in power and wealth
Or love and matters of the heart
There are those who believe in various gods
In nations, and knowledge
In hell and in heaven
The powers of darkness
The assumption of the light
But I believe in just one god
That of endless and insatiable
Immoral and destructible
And all consuming appetite

There is a prediction that I now will make
And I’m sure it will be right:
When the next millennium finally comes
The god most worshiped in this world
Will be the god of appetite

For Sarah

There are ghosts in the air
evil eyes in the darkness
as I search for Sarah

Demons lurk everywhere
but however much they scare me
I will not be deterred
I'll be tough
I'll be sly
There is nothing I would not do or be
for Sarah

I will steal
I will lie
There is nothing I won't try
to find and save her

There's a dream
there's song
how I long to go back
but I must stay
for Sarah

Through this nightmares I go
Desperate, shattered. lonely
but I must not be far
I will slash
I will burn
There's nothing I would not do or be
for Sarah

There's no stone I won't turn
I'd do anything it takes to find and hold her

I'll be bold
I'll be brave
There is nothing I would not be for you
For Sarah
I would go to the grave
like a sacrificial angel
I will not let you fall

I will fight all my fears
There is nothing I would not do for you
Oh Sarah

Take this blood sweating tears
Take this sacrificial angel
who will save you
Sarah!

Braver than we are

Sometimes it's the night
And the way it seems to cry
And whisper terrifying secrets in your ear
Sometimes it's the day
And the sun has got no mercy
Lighting up and burning everything that's in it's way

There are times I've got to run
Times I've got to hide
Things I've left undone
Things I cast aside
So many things to try
So many things denied
If I ever tell you the truth
I'm scared that you'd leave me
I need the proof
That you would believe me

You think I fly like an angel without any tears
Higher and higher above the world and all its fears

Everybody's ready to fly
But the storms are never so very far
And you think my life is shining like a star
But the fears are never very far

We always seem so much braver than we ever are
We always dream we'd be braver but we never are
Let's run away
Let's go so far

Sometimes it's the flesh
And the way it seems to yearn
For the magic of a single perfect touch

Sometimes it's the soul
And it's waiting for salvation
You know when you get it there can never be too much

There are times I've got to run
Times I've got to hide
Things I've left undone
Things I cast aside
So many things to try
So many things denied
If I ever tell you the truth
Would you ever believe me
Show me the proof
I'm so scared that you'd leave me

You think I fly like an angel without any care
Higher and higher as if I'm breathing sacred air

Everybody's ready to fly
But the storms are never so very far
And you think my life is shining like a star
But the fears are never very far
The nightmare's never very far

We always seem so much braver than we ever are
We always dream we'd be braver but we never are
Let's run away
Let's go too far

Say a prayer...

Say a prayer for those who crawl
Say a prayer for those who run
Say a prayer so all will know
There's a better life to come

Say a prayer for those alone
Say a prayer for those apart
All the golden boys and girls
The crusaders of the heart

Say a prayer for all the lost
Say a prayer for the unborn
Say a prayer for all the young
It takes a fire to keep them warm

Say a prayer for those obsessed
Say a prayer for those enslaved
Say a prayer to beat the drums
From the cradle to the grave

Say a prayer for all the saints
Say a prayer for all the sins
Let the dancing never end
Let the future now begin

Say a prayer to all the gods
Some are near and some are far
Say a prayer to all the gods
Make us braver than we are

Say a prayer to all the gods
Some are near and some are far
Say a prayer to all the gods
Make us braver than we are

How far is too far baby?
Come on - take me, take me
We're crusaders of the heart
And going all the way is just a start

How far is too far?
How far is too far baby?
Take me deep inside your heart
And going all the way is just a start

Say a prayer...

Going all the way is just a start
Make us braver than we are

There's no such thing as too far
I've got to be where you are
Going all the way is just a start
The crusaders of the heart

There's no such thing as too far
I've got to be where you are
Going all the way is just a start
Make us braver than we are

Make us braver than we are
Going all the way is just a start
Make us braver than we are
There's no such thing as too far
I've got be where you are
Going all the way is just a start
Make us braver than we are

... higher and higher...

Dance of the Vampires

Now we are safe,
we have made it after all
I've been smarter than the fiends of the night
The idiots of Königsberg shall eat their hearts out
For they must admit
that I have been right!
Oh, I'm so smart!
Once and for all
I have proven beyond doubt
That this vampires are real and alive
They believe in the power of blood
They got a bite that cuts the skin like a knife
Oh that's smart
But we have got reason and sense
they cannot focus
Since they're out of the dark from whence they came
We're so very sure of our goals
and know the path we must take
After all we are wide-awake,
the human race is in motion
The world will never be the same

Vy am I zee only one whiz an accent?

Go break a heart
or your heart will be broken
Go betray a friend
or else be betrayed
Grab your chance before it's to late
If you're fighting
you must not be afraid
Better to bader
defend or get beaten
Use your elbows
or get jostled yourself
Better to eat than to find you've been eaten
No one cares for you
so care for yourself

Now our life in the darkness is over
We'll be dancing in the rings of the sun
We are sure of our goals
And know which path we must take
We don't live, we don't die
But we are wide-awake
We are in motion
And soon the world will be won
(before you know it's begun)
So all of you out there - watch out!
Now we're gonna advance - watch out!
We got the world in our hands - watch out!
You gonna see the vampires dance
You gonna see the vampires dance
Let the revels begin
Let the fires be started
The world is full of reckless and the stony hearted
Let the devils come in
Let the fire be started
The world is full of reckless and the phoney hearted
You gonna see the vampires dance
We got the world in our hands
We are tired of the darkness
now we wanna have fun
So come on freaks and friends
Our everlasting dance has begun
You gonna see the vampires dance
We got the world in our hands

Now our life in the darkness is over
We'll be dancing in the rings of the sun
We are sure of our goals
And know which path we must take
We don't live, we don't die
But we are wide-awake
We are in motion
And soon the world will be won (before you know it's begun)
So all of you out there - watch out!
Now we are going to dance - watch out!
We got the world in our hands - watch out!
You gonna see the vampires dance
You gonna see the vampires dance
Let the revels begin
Let the fires be started
The world is full of reckless and the stony hearted
Let the devils come in
Let the fire be started
The world is full of reckless and the phoney hearted
You gonna see the vampires dance
We got the world in our hands
We drink your blood and then we eat your soul
Nothing's gonna stop us - let the bad times roll
We drink your blood and then we eat your soul
Nothing's gonna stop us - let the bad times roll

Angels arise

Angels arise
As night must fall
And radiant eyes
Stare down on us all

If the powers that be
Be beyond our call
Then angels arise
As the night must surely fall

And for every pit of darkness,
There's a light so pure divine
And I ask you to protect me
From those gasps and shudders and those shivers down my spine

Angels arise
As night must fall
And all knowing eyes
Stare down on us all

If the powers that be
Be beyond our call
Then angels arise
As the night must surely fall
