STUDIOVÁ ALBA - THE TIME OF THE OATH
|
| Time Of The Oath je o něco temnější a tvrdší než MOTR a řadí se mezi nejlepší alba z "Andiho éry". Značný podíl na skladbách má už i Uli Kusch a s Derisem tvoří výborné skladatelské duo. Ovšem k tomuto albu se váže i jedná smutná záležitost, jelikož při nahrávání alba dne 8. března 1995 spáchál ex-bubeník Helloween Ingo Schwichtenberg sebevraždu... . Všemi to strašně otřáslo a tak se skupina rozhodla věnovat toto album právě Ingovi.
Na památku Ingo Schwichtenberga.
"Společně jsme prožili obojí, krásné a bouřlivé časy.
Tvé místo v historii Helloween bude navždy.
Naše vzpomínky zůstanou právě tak jako naše vděčnost."
- Helloween -

The Time of the Oath
WE BURN
Climb
down my pile And again to the beat of my heart You're so exciting
Take all the soul I will give you as much as you want Control my
feelings
Higher, much higher Unbounded fire Closer, come closer
Close to the core
We burn, we burn
I contaminate you I
like to pollute you with my G-g-generations Look in my eyes And we
melt into one yearning mind We climb the stages
Higher, much higher
Set me on fire Closer, come closer Close to the core
We
burn, we burn Insanity, insanity Never set me free
STEEL TORMENTOR
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- Wot a human speed disaster
Deeper, much deeper- On thru 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
WAKE UP THE MOUNTAIN
Some people die And even never
realize Man's growing blind Is seeing only with the eyes We think
we're strong Believe we never could be wrong But we are fools
Because we're dying by the rules
Though I cannot change the world
we're living in I can always change myself
One more to count in
Wake up the mountain All colour's slowly turning to grey Our world
is darkling Wake up the mountain And we will find it once more again
Cash and careers Built on countless sums of fears All goods of
life Begin to vanish behind tears How do we know Why did we choose
the way we follow Why do we hurt Why do we hurt the ones we love
Though I cannot change the world we're living in I can always change
myself
One more to count in Wake up the mountain All colour's
slowly turning to grey Our world is darkling Wake up the mountain
And we will find it once more again Once more again We made the
rules and we can change them
Break down the orders one by one We
made the laws and we can break them Break down the mountain Stone by
stone by stone by stone
POWER
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
tension 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 tension from sources unknown We are the ones to cover
the throne
FOREVER AND ONE (NEVERLAND)
What can I do? Will I be getting through? Now that I must try to
leave it all behind Did you see What you have done to me? So hard to
justify Slowly it's passing by
Forever and one I will miss you
However, I kiss you yet again Way down in Neverland So hard I was
trying Tomorrow I'll still be crying How could you hide your lies
Your lies
Here I am Seeing you once again My mind's so far
away My heart's so close to stay Too proud to fight I'm walking back
into night Will I ever find someone to believe?
Forever and one I
will miss you However, I kiss you yet again Way down in Neverland So
hard I was trying Tomorrow I'll still be crying How could you hide your
lies Your lies
BEFORE THE WAR
Come
take a look up to the constellations Take the book of God you will find your
relations If you understand you will know the solution Things will fall
back to the new constitution
I'm a son of a distant future I'm the
last of the seven troopers And I came here for the 7th war
I'm a
child of the stars The blaster of the gods And I have seen it all before
Before the war Cold-hearted earth I'm the master of the universe
And I have seen it all before Before the war
Nature sets a limit
on your millenary Turning every place into a cruel mean scenary All will
get a chance to shun the holy fire But you will be few getting under the
wire
I'm a son of a distant future I'm the last of the seven
troopers And I came here for the 7th war
I'm a child of the stars
The blaster of the gods And I have seen it all before Before the war
Cold-hearted earth I'm the master of the universe And I have seen it
all before Before the war
Mind the 7th war - Mind the 7th war
Yes I came here for the 7th war
A MILLION TO
ONE
Born into somewhere unseen and unknown Just like a wonder so
small and alone Take me away into your innocent dreams Maybe I'd see
what it all means
A million to one You will lose it all A
million to one You'll be falling Down to where I am An unholy man
A million to one You'll be falling
It's so sad and so true but
what can I do Only a few years then it's up to you To care for yourself,
I hope I gave good advice For all your life, how to survive
A
million to one You will lose it all A million to one You'll be
falling Down to where I am An unholy man A million to one You'll
be falling
ANYTHING MY MAMA DON'T LIKE
I'm no believer I just listen to my own head I'm no believer
I just call you liar instead Keep all your sorrows Words might be
pathetically vain Life is a fire Light it and you can read your name
I'm the king of the night generation I'm anything my mama don't like
I'm a slave of a perverted nation Anything my mama don't like
I
am a flyer Rising in the wake of my dreams I am a tumbler Life can
be as good as it seems
I'm a child playing chess with tomorrow I'm
anything my mama don't like I'm a clown and I beg, steal and borrow
Anything my mama don't like
I'm the king of the night generation
I'm anything my mama don't like I'm a slave of a perverted nation
Anything my mama don't like
KINGS WILL BE
KINGS
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 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 that 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 might 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
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 you 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 live 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
(Chorus)
IF I KNEW
Loneliness seems like an evil dream But
reality is life and 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
breath again Tell me all your thoughts and I will see
Take my hand
and we'll be there Together, someday, somewhere
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
THE TIME OF THE OATH
Latin:
Dí-es í-rae, dí-es íl-la Sol-vet sae-cíum in fa-vílla Quan-tus
tre-mor est fu-tu-rus Quan-do ju-dex est ven-turus
In a circle of fire On a cold winter night I spoke out my desire Made a
promise I couldn't hide, no!
In a dream He came along and told
me "Your time has come Your mind belongs to me"
It's the time of
the oath The time of the oath My sweetest memories die in the cold
It's the time of the oath
See me covered with sadness And I'll
soon wish to die When the overcoming madness Is eating up my mind
Here and now I look back at a good time No more lie - I slowly
say good-bye
It's the time of the oath The time of the oath My
sweetest memories die in a cold It's the time of the oath
In a dream
He came along and told me "Your time has come Just slowly say
good-bye"
It's the time of the oath The time of the oath My
sweetest memories die in a cold It's the time of the oath
STILL I DON'T KNOW
I am asking here I am asking there And we all seem to
share
Different gains for life Though we'll all arrive At the big
end somewhere
But we don't know what's more when it's over Is there
heaven or hell?
I wonder if there's something when my time's run out in
life Still I don't know, Still I don't know
Wonder if there's music,
rubber sex and a Mac Drive Still I don't know, Still I don't know
All
we know is here What we love and fear It's a question of time
When
all is said and done When we're dead and gone Did we just
disappear?
Yes we don't know what's more when it's over Is there
heaven or hell?
I wonder if there's something when my life's run out of
time Still I don't know, Still I don't know
Wonder if there's smokers
even in the "Deutsche Bahn" Still I don't know, Still I don't
know
Wonder if there's something like a cigarette or some wine Wonder
if I'm lonely, if I'll meet a friend of mine
(Chorus)
Still I
don't know, Still I don't know...
TAKE IT TO THE LIMIT
Been here just long enough To see what trip you're on Suffered from
your ugly deeds The way you're pushin' all, oh no
Better watch out
what you're doing Better take some rest or get right out of here, oh
yeah
Haven't you hurt all the people Tryin' to be your
friend
Take it to the limit, you take it to the top Take it to the
limit, until you get stopped You take it to the limit, take it to the
top Stop! Stop!
You think you're somebody But you'll never be On
the back of others You're just acting Like a thief, oh yeah
Better
watch out what you're sayin' Better take your hat and get right out of
here
Didn't you lose all the people Tryin' to be your
friend
You take it to the limit, you take it to the top You take it to
the limit, 'til you get stopped You take it to the limit, 'til you get shot,
stop it!
Take it to the limit, take it to the top Take it to the
limit, 'til you get stopped Take it to the limit, get out of my
head!
