Black thunder rolling down the town
Children cease to play
The woman close the shutters down
The night besieges the day

Assassins` Edge - That's where the creatures meet
Assassins` Edge - And lovers breed
Assassins` Edge - Near halfmoon street
Assassins` Edge - At assassins` edge

Over the city a deadly glow
Buildings steam in heat
Hiding secret places that the night will show
Someone walks down a street

The rain is over, the sun shines so bright
The night's gone over the edge
Meet me again some other night
Back at assasins` edge

Bring Back the Light
when darkness covers the last
beams of light
when the days are vaning fast
there's only night
when the moon refuses to shine
& that's forever
when we're crying tears of blood
we walk together
over fields full of hope
for a new better dawn
for it can't be the end
when we're just moving on
& we're holding our dreams
& together we'll fight
for we're flames in the dark
& we bring back the light
yeah we bring back the light
yeah we bring back the light
a river's crying
when the banshees sing their songs
a soul is dying
when we yell to stand the pain
& don't say never
when we're crying tears of blood
we walk together

I left my home when April called and laughing turned to go
And springtime is as you all know the time for love to grow
So when I met along the way a guy with floatin' hair
He smiled a smile and then he spoke and music filled the air:
(He said)
'Come along to the Beltane Fire'

Another time for love did come as summer stormed the land
Another fellow came along and took me by the hand
When night did fall on ancient woods a glow showed us the way
I felt his breath near my right ear and then I heard him say:

'Come along to the beltane fire'

The days grew cold and life calmed down, september rain did fall
Yet nights remained still hot as fire and still I heard the call
The goddess smiled as harvest grew, her smile did warm my soul
And lying there amidst the crop we heard the thunder roll:

'Come along to the beltane fire'

I'd learned my lesson by the time the raindrops turned to snow
And came back home where I did start to roam one year ago
I made a fire but still felt cold my soul was trembling too
I went downtown found a new love and told him what to do:

'Come along to the Beltane fire'

We climb up the rainbow stairs
And fall in a sea of clouds
We hope not to land on stone
And our cry for freedom's loud
We walk over strawberry fields
We're hungry for life and for love
We take all the days with a smile
But we know we can't get enough
We are flying
We are flying over the rainbow
On our daytrip
To the castle of dreams
We are flying
We are flying over the rainbow
On our daytrip
To the castle of dreams
We don't care about danger and law
The reality's too far away
Our world is the land of illusion
If we could, we will forever stay

Late autumn is rising, bringing rainstorms & cold
The forthcoming winter makes me feel growing old
I am still wanderin' round with nowhere to go
Downtown - in the city of love
There is a city of lovers, a city on the vane
The streets once full of sunshine now covered with rain
The last of seven cities that were lost long time ago
Save one - called the city of love
In a house on the hill there's a light shining bright
Makes me think of where's my lover in this starless night
Somewhere in the glowing of the city there below
Far away - in the city of love
And there can never be another one like you
And there will always be some clouds but the sun breaks through
So when you follow me we never can go wrong
Along the twisted maze's path we stroll along
In days of shallow light wherelse could love grow strong
And though the night is dark and cold we sing a song
There are a million worlds to gain so let us go
And if a world's too small for us well make it grow
Then we will find at last a place with clear sky above
Downtown - in the city of love
In another time and place, seven cities of gold
Many songs where sung about them, many tales where told
Six are gone a long time but for us one's still enough
What remains - is the city of love.

I lost my own true love one burning summer day
The air was filled with broken sounds and nothing left to say
Fair mother earth laid dying in a dusty dream
We'll meet again some other rainy day
After the summer,
Cursed Summer.

The vineyards of our desperate dreams had dried and turned to stones
Some skinny hungry uptown queens are grabbing at my bones
A bleeding eye is starring out of violet skies
Your cries had gone long time before, left me all alone
In this summer,
Cursed Summer.

The scorching breath had stormed the town of living stones' delight
Mild darkness shattered by the light that's shining cold and bright
I fled this place one day with burning visions hot on my heels
And lingered through the steaming night of love
Into the summer,
Cursed Summer.

Drifting on the edges of the dawn
Drifting on the edges of the dawn
Sunlight in your eyes
Moonlight in your brain
Nothing more is real
Nothing more`s the same
Waiting for a hitchhike
Through the doors of time
We`re riders of forgotten realms
Between the borderline
Drifting on the edges of the dawn
Drifting on the edges of the dawn
A fire in your heart
A river in your veins
Floating with the river
Through a land of love & pain
Firebirds are rising
When all the fears are gone
When all the thoughts are free
The trip has just begun
Drifting on the edges of the dawn
Drifting on the edges of the dawn
You`re melting with the earth
You`re falling with the rain
Pictures of your soul
Are dancing in the flames
Dreams have to be dreamed
And wishes have to fly
They`re sailing with the smoke
To the spirits in the sky
Drifting on the edges of the dawn
Drifting on the edges of the dawn
Sunlight in your eyes
Moonlight in your brain
Nothing more is real
Nothing more`s the same
Waiting for a hitchhike
Through the doors of time
We`re riders of forgotten realms
Between the borderline

Did you see the girl with a laughter in her eyes
Wasn't her hair made of the golden sun rise
I tell you brothers & I swear I ain't lyin'
I am no lover but I think she's really worth dyin'

Have you seen my babe?
Have you seen her eyes?
Have you seen them standing
Starring in surprise?
Have you seen her dancing
On the TV Screen?
Have you seen?
Have you seen?
Have you seen?

Did you see the girl with her hair floating in the breeze
Did you look into her eyes and then drown in the endless seas
Well I tell you sisters & I never will be lyin'
I am still no lover but I think she's really worth dyin'

It's late after sun down
And it's a heavy pourin' rain
On a street signed "Nowhere"
In a city called "In Vain"

Lost in the twilight
While the storm's coming in
Don't know where I'm going
Don't know where I've been

(And a) Heavy rain's falling,
Yes a heavy rain's falling,
Heavy rain's falling
Down on me

Wandering down an alley
Longing for my love
While a lonely streetlight
Is the only star above

Headlights in the distance
Are playin on a wall
Through the screaming silence
You will hear the spirits call

And a Heavy rain's falling ...

Next door Mr. Cypher
Is calling out for me
He asks for the payment
To let a poor soul free

There's another lost angel
Leaning to a tree
Sellin' all her memories
She's tryin' to be free

And a Heavy rain's falling ...

He`s the actor of an outdoor scene
The dark invader of my dreams
And he`s me like she
And he`s me like she
And he`s me like she
And he`s me like she
She`s the wichcraft & the magic science
Confusion in an ordered mind
And she`s me like he
And she`s me like he
And she`s me like he
And she`s me like he (2 x)
He`s the tiger with the sharpened claws
He has the power over logic`s law
She`s the romance & she is a sin
She`s the little girl who wants to follow him
And she`s me like he
And she`s me like he
And she`s me like he
And she`s me like he
As we met us
Two sides of the brain
We saw the differences
One the logic, the moral, the reason
One the emotion, motion
Motor of my heart, motor of my heart
Nothing goes on without you
And you turn me on
You are one
One fact
One thing
Two souls
Of one being
One, one, one, one, one, one, one...
He`s the tiger with the sharpened claws
He has the power over logic`s law
She`s the romance & she is a sin
She`s the little girl who wants to follow him
And she`s me like he
And she`s me like he
And she`s me like he
And she`s me like he

Where are they going, those beautiful children
torchlights guiding them down to the sea
Marching, marching those endless highways
Once they used to be close friends of me.

Give them your smile and some part of your story
Great them friendly as they pass by
No more tears for they don't ask no quarter
They don't deserve any wellmeant lie.

Where are they going, fair wilderness children
Where did they come from, where have they been
Don't curse the lost hurting your circles
They'll prepare a world for us to live in.

There's love in the city
There's love in the city
There's love in the city
There's love in the town
Little girls love to fool around
With demanding lips, a gentle smile
Inviting a stranger, rest for a while
Melting with the meadow ground
To receive
The love of the city

There are lovers dancing
There are lovers dancing
There are lovers dancing
Get undressed
Hiding from intruders interest
Leaving some cobwebs of a divine gleam
A summoning presence of a lovers dream
The quiet visitor believes in the chance
Of the love in the city

A tempest is rising
A tempest is rising
A tempest is rising
Darkens the sky
Sweet games are ended, ceased the sighs
In upcoming deathdreams love will be lost
Come with me children, let's find a new host
We're in need of so desperately to fulfill our dream
Of the love in the city

Though I was born for the ladies
And went foolin' through the Eighties
I kept on loosing the Blues
If the Sixties were roarin'
The Nineties started boring
And I still wear my blue suede shoes

I grew up in the saddle
On a horse made of metal
Like a flyin' arrow on his way
Still I was tired of thinking
So I started heavy drinking
When a music box began to play:

(Solissimo)

Ooh, Babe, I still got the Boogie
And I'll keep on movin'
Until we'll all be movin'

Ooh, Babe, when the rhythm takes me
I can't stop the shakin'
Oh till my bones are achin'
(feels so good)

T' was the Lord who made me grow
Then the music kept me goin'
Though the good times were rollin' away
Since in the middle of the ages
He forgot to turn the pages
I am waitin' for another day

I'm shure something went wrong
Among Fay Wray and King Kong
But I guess I can get that straight
As long as Robbie keeps yearnin'
Big wheels keep on turnin'
As for me It's never too late

Destination somewhere
Origins unclear
Sometimes hold you in my arms
Sometimes I disappear
On the road

See me in the meadows
Meet me in the town
When it's time to wander
You will never track me down
On the road

Dedicated loverboy
Roaming harlekin
When you're looking for me
I'm the girl that's in between
On the road

In here is a prison
Out there worlds of pain
Happiness' another word
For singing in the rain (rain rain rain)
On the road

(© Rochus Honold 1994)

The lights in the distance
Became smaller, were gone
The road was so lonesome
The road was so long
I walked down the highway
My package was light
I walked the whole day
And I walked the whole night
The road leads to nowhere
A snake without eyes
The end is still unknown
Who says he knows, lies
So join my way sister
This road is my life
We reach for the answer
But we can never arrive
And I'm out, out on my way
And I do it the best I can do
Year I'm out, out on my way
And sometimes I go the way with you
There are mountains in the distance
And it's hard to climb up high
There are rivers to cross
There are people who pass by
There are flowers on green meadows
There's a desert stone and sand
And sometimes there are deep canyons
And it seems to be the end
And I'm out, out on my way, ...
And I'm out, out on my way, ...

Speak to me only with a smile
And aim a thought of warmth into the sky
Then keep it sailing for a while
Until its time for me to say goodbye

Just catch a few of fading sunrays
And store them deep inside your brain
So you'll be shure that they will warm you
In coming days of ever falling rain

Seven years of sunshine follow seven years of rain
Seven years must pass along until we meet again
Seven seas I got to travel to seven unknown lands
Seven gems I shall unravel to lay them in your hands

Sing for me only songs of freedom
For only they can calm my mind
And soon I'll spread my wings and rise up
'Though it will hurt to leave you there behind

So if you wanna love me baby
You have to catch me in the sky
For as I told you I'm an eagle
And like an eagle I got to fly

Let's bathe in the moonlight, babe and do the shaman's dance
Let's conjure up the unknown, babe, as long as we have a chance
Let's bathe in the moonlight, babe and do the shaman's dance
Let's conjure up the unknown, babe, as long as we have a chance
Come on let's make love together under a bloody sky
Just before the viper's bite will poison our sighs
Yeaaaaah !
Livin' in an endless race with the killers of the past
Following forgotten dreams everyday could be the last
Searchin' for the rainbow, runnin' with the wind
On a trip to unknown planets, celebratin' the sin
So come on, waste no time, babe
Hey come on, hey come on ...
Come on let's make love together under a bloody sky
Just before the viper's bite will poison our sighs
Yeaaaaah !
Livin' in an endless race with the killers of the past
Following forgotten dreams everyday could be the last
Searchin' for the rainbow, runnin' with the wind
On a trip to unknown planets, celebratin' the sin

Sleep
Turn out the lamp and slip away
Sleep, pretty babe
Escape the burnin light of day
Drift in the gentle whirlin moon light
Forget the world where I must stay

Dream
Dream a thousand dreams for me
Dream along slowly
Those vaning realms you still can see
Then in the break of morning tell me
Where will we be ?

Arise
Gone are the hours where we could play
Pack your dreams wisely
They'll feed us on our lonely way
For if tomorrow never happens
We have to live today

(© Rochus Honold 1995)

The scent of musk in violet lights
Invite your sense to magic nights
A cloud of satin, candy lips
And leather skins for mysthic trips
So come with me
So come with me
To the temple of love
A thousand colours, rainbow eyes
Affect, excite & hynotize
Strip your mask your tattoed mind
Live your dreams & feel divine
So come with me
So come with me
To the temple of love
Be a hero, be a king
Meet your queen, your heroine
Slip away in other planes
Float in rivers of champagne
So come with me
So come with me
To the temple of love

Thank you for the Sunrays
And some moments of rain
Thank you for the beautyful days
Let's try it someday again
Thank you for the power
You gave me when I felt blue
I just wanna thank you
For your Love and babe, I love you.

Thank you for the freedom
To let me do what I wanted to do
Thank you for your patience
When I imprisoned you
I know it isn't easy
To take me how I am
I just wanna thank you
For your love again and again

And if the sky is cloudy and dark
We're gonna clear it clear it up clear it up with a smile
I wanna dance wanna dance in the night
For I'll ever ever ever be your child
Thank you, thank you ...

Babe, I've been changin', been arrangin, doin' my time
And all the time been longin' for you
Longin', I've been longin', always longin, long for your love
There are so many things that only you can do

Everyday, everyday, everyday, Lord, I've been tryin'
I tried so hard and don't you know
livin', lovin', foolin' round, there's no denyin'
For after all this time our love still can grow

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, flower of mine
I wanna thank you for the rain
Rainy days, with cloudy skies, keep us inside
For making love, love, love again and again

The night keeps on singing the freedom song
I've been waiting for so long
Going back where I belong
Back to where we once were strong
Where one was all and all were one
Back to the Highlands
The road's still there yet noone knows
A junction lies where noone goes
A hidden gate where nothing grows
No shadows move and no wind blows
The gate is locked, the way is closed
Back to the Highlands
One night I dreamed of days to come
I packed my pack and went along
The road was still, I sang a song
Going back where I belong
Where one is all and all are one
Back to the Highlands

It's hot in the City
So hot in the Town
No Chance to relax
No Sex I'm down

Like Sand in the Desert
My mind's drying up
The Air smell like sulphur
And Boiling Blood

And then the first flash of lightning
Thunder Striking and Clouds in the Sky
And Rain, rain, rain

Sweatin' all over
All motion has ceased
No winds not even
Just a fuckin' breeze

It's hot in the City
So hot in the Town
No Chance to relax
No Sex I'm down

The raven spread his wings
And followed the sun in the dusk
Every minute was precious
For every thought was a moment of lust
But what is time, time, time
When seconds are years
And years are already gone
And what is real, real, real
Allthough you dream
You know what you`ve done

I hear the raven cry
I hear the raven cry
I hear the raven cry
I hear the raven cry
Take me to a trip between the unknown
And the real world of knowing
Show me how to live
And show me all the ways I`m going
Under all those covers & illusions
Is a beast that I will find soon
So I close my eyes
And I step inside
And I feel the power of the fullmoon
I hear the raven cry
I hear the raven cry
I hear the raven cry
I hear the raven cry
Black wings are rising
Black wings are rising
But what is time
And what is real
Yeah what is time
And what is real
I hear the raven cry
I hear the raven cry
I hear the raven cry
I hear the raven cry
I hear, I hear, I hear the raven cry
I hear, I hear, I hear the raven cry
I hear the raven cry

Time of sleeping
Years passed creeping
Seemed like an endless dream
Ashes remaining
Of centuries vaning
Nothing is now what it seemed
The streets were filled with million dreams
That swarmed round me and you
There at the end of a city the lords once were true
Hours of loving
Hours of crying
Knowing them sometimes to end
Cling to your love dream
Beautiful woman
It will be your only friend
The moonlit nights with blinking gods
Will call forevermore
When we returned all had changed since we passed through the door
The time I sung my songs did end
When all the words were told
There was no yard where new words grew
The world was yet too old
Years of growing
Almost blowing
The promises kept through the past
Always been movin on
Sometimes been changing
Only what's dead is to last
We're taking off for one more time
To finally break through
Leaving the clouds all behind for some heavenly blue

I'm the lady of the night
Leave the darkness or you die
I'm a destroying flame
And I play my cruel game

I'm a vampire can't you see
This night's my victory
I'm like a deadly smack
And I make you maniac

I'm a vampire (3*)

I'm a maneater, a beast
And I celebrate my feast
I'll follow you with hungry eyes
And I have to win the fight

The moon's my special friend
I'm living in a magic land
All the witchcraft on my side
Yeah, I'm the lady of the night

(© Anja Fritzsche 1991)

I met you coming
Coming down my road.
I love you babe
What you've been told
About me ?

Come on now, babe
Join our feast
No time to waste
Find the beast
Inside !

Inside your soul
Inside your brain
Stombling endless ways
In the gentle rain

There's hollow laughter in the yards
The fools are chewing on their iron bars
Moaning, whispering, grinning slowly
Their blinded eyes are watching me.
There's a freeway to the inner lifes
There's a place to go when night arrives
Which is built of thousand wellknown souls
Now tell me, what you've been told
About me ?

Now tell me baby
Why do you love me ?
What you've been told
What you've been told
What you've been told
About me ?

(© Rochus Honold 1987)

You, babe, the princess of a summer day
got a beautyful witches face
riding on a golden sun ray
You're a child of an ancient race
You, babe, from the laughing sea
Can't you see
Me, babe, coming from the northern lakes
while living in the southern plains
I once loved a grizzly lady & some snakes
with indian venom running in my veins
Me, babe, searching for lost mysteries
Can't be free
(You & me) lingering on sunny streets
(You & me) falling to the midnight heat
(You & me) bathing in the moonlit sea
Yeah, you & me
Yeah, you & me
Yeah, you & me
She's a metamorphic silver queen
She's the girl that loves you in between
She's the lover in a boy's wet dream
She's the kind of woman that you long to make scream
She's a little loving lady, can't you see
You & Me
He's a hollow dweller, old and pale
He's a leather rider telling tales
He's got the day behind, the night by his side
He's dangerously dreaming open-eyed
He's the one, babe, that is loving thee
Desperately, You & Me
(You & me) fleeing through darkened streets
(You & me) crying in the midnight heat
(You & me) drowning in the moonlit sea
Yeah, you & me
Yeah, you & me
Yeah, you & me
It was a deadborn love
It was a deadborn sin
She was an eagle queen
He was a serpent king
And out there in a desert world
Finally free at the end of words
There were remaining memories
Of you & me, you & me ...
