STARS IN MY EYES (Utley)
I was too beautiful to live and so I died & rose again
The sacred heart is always torn
My face is lined, my shoes are worn
But you're so distant, ice and cool
You stand and laugh, but you're the fool
For I have kissed the maiden fair
Slew the dragon in its lair
Stars in my eyes
Love tells no lies
Oh, I got a heart so big, it hurts like hell
It hurts to live
But I will join the gypsy dance
The fevered breath, the wild romance
Come and lie here next to me and hear the silent symphony
Living through a night so long
As heaven sings the devil's song
Stars in my eyes
Love tells no lies

SECRET DESIRE (Utley)
Tell me your name and I'll tell you a secret
There is no end to the things we could share
I have a place in my heart where I'll keep it
We'll fly as close to the sun as you dare
How can I open your eyes?
This is my secret desire
There is a place in my dreams I could take you
Somewhere that this cruel world cannot find
Sleep here in my arms and no one will wake you
Leaving our lonliness so far behind
How can I open your eyes?
This is my secret desire
Tear you to pieces to quiet my hunger
Bathing in blood as we blindly embrace
Feeling your claws in my back as it's breaking
Tasting the salt from the tears on your face
How can I open your eyes?
This is my secret desire
Forget your world and its lies
You are my secret desire
Desire

DRACULA (English)
Fight against the chains between your freedom and you
Shake away the dreams that leave their dust inside of you
Follow only paths that lead you where you want to go
Learn only the lessons you already know you know
Trust in your saviour, save yourself or serve your soul
Make a decision whether you will drive or roll
Cut only the threads that bind your will or slow your speed
Nobody is free until the day we all are free

The Tired Tale

THE TIRED TALE (English)
So it goes, the tired tale of what I've lived & how I've failed
Oh, but hindsight is cheap
And I lose sleep over things that I can't change
Or can I?
Don't you wonder at the things you do?
Don't you know your lies come back to you?
And though I've loved, I still feel lost
How many rivers have I not crossed?
How many hearts to break, or lives to take?
I can still try
Or can I?
Don't you listen to the things you say?
If you did, you'd say them anyway

TREAT ME RIGHT (Utley)
Gave you everything you ever wanted
But it's not enough
Gave you everything I had inside me
But it's not enough for you
When you gonna come & see me, baby?
All I ever get is someday, maybe
All you do is leave me hanging like a puppet on a string
When you gonna come & free me, baby?
Baby, when you gonna come & treat me right?
Never thought that I would ever leave you
Maybe I was wrong
Can't put up with all the things you're doing
Baby, I'm just not that strong
Don't know what I'm gonna do about it
All I ever do is think about it
Don't you know I never doubted that this love would see me through
When you gonna come & free me, baby?
Baby, when you gonna come & treat me right?

YOUR PROMISE (English)
Arrows shoot forth from your eyes
The kind of pain that hypnotizes me
Piercing to my very core
Shatter my illusions mortally
Oh, I know better, don't we all?
Yet I cannot deny the call of your promise
Wound me, rend me end to end
And in your image build me back again
Do the things that you must do
To prove to me the words you say are true
Oh, I know better, don't we all?
Yet I cannot deny the call
You can take me, shake me, make me
You can break me more or less in two
I'll believe you and I'll need to
For I have no will when I'm with you
Your promise to me

THE DESERTS OF YOUR EYES (English)
I wonder what are you thinking, dear, to bring me to a place like this?
This place where destinies are forged and fled, this place where nce the mighty bled
I cannot understand the trembling of your hand
What ugly fire have you fed?
You were my shining Sheik of Araby, but your sword cuts two ways
You protected me from all foes but you, and your lies taught me what's true
Imagine all the times I sought the deserts of your eyes and saw oases of blue
My first and perfect love, I will never leave you
My sad and ancient one, I will never deceive you
Come away and cling to my love, I'll devote my life to you
My love is only for you, my love is only for you
I awake with sand on my tongue, but my thirst is for you
Although you left me to die in this place, my one mirage is your face
Is it fate that your love turned to hate, as I am easily replaced?
Our love burned hot as the desert wind that blew the stars to the sky
But the wind brings a chill in the night and tears of hate blur my sight
I wander hopefully in this blind and barren sea, for now revenge is my right
My shy and selfless one, I will never abuse you
I would tear my heart from my chest merely to amuse you
Come away and run to my love, I will always protect you
My love is only for you, my love is only for you
I approach you with fire in my eyes, I have surprise on my side
May this night be an end to your lies
I watch the light leave your eyes
I watch your hands clutch the innocent sands
I hear your death choke your sighs
My cruel and thoughtless one, I can never forget you
My sly and shiftless one, I will ever regret you
I am coming to claim my love, I can never forgive you
My shame is only for you, my shame is only for you

My Empty Heart

MY EMPTY HEART (Utley)
Blindly digging my own grave with my careless heart
Taking everything I love and tearing it apart
My lover's eyes are empty now, my lover's lips are closed
I am the Prince of Sorrows and this is the hell I chose
It will follow me always, the dream we tore apart
And the shame and the sorrow will fill my empty heart
Once she gave her love to me, but now her heart is stone
Looks away and lies to me, and leaves me here alone
Another bottle in my hand, a knife across my skin
Give me something, anything, to kill the pain within
It will follow me always, the dream we tore apart
And the shame and the sorrow will fill my empty heart
I have caught a chill from being in the night too long
I've caught my death and I regret I'll never see the dawn
What once was can never be, what used to be is gone
Nothing left but emptiness, no strength to carry on
It will follow me always, the dream we tore apart
And the shame and the sorrow will fill my empty heart

The Greatest Taker

THE GREATEST TAKER (English)
I curse in rhyme to amuse myself and those who look on me
I smell burning roses and twist tighter 'round my tree
Will you ever know me, know me as I am?
The serpent in a garden who licks the ears of man
Of course it makes no sense to you, for it did, then you would understand
So say goodbye to all you love, to come and take my hand
The Prince of Lies, the Queen of Spies, I go by many names
You trade a thing which is not yours to buy into my game
My voice surrounds your waking hours, my face invades your dreams
This bargain love that you have bought is not quite what it seems
So walk the straight and narrow path, if you really think you must
But I'll run circles 'round you, dear, until you turn to dust
I thought I could possess your true love if I owned your heart
But ownership is empty joy, of that I'll have no part
So take your precious freedom if that's what you need to live
And so the greatest taker finally finds a way to give
I never will forget the one who stole my love away
And maybe you will know that love for what it is someday

WHY WON'T YOU HOLD MY HAND? (English)
When I take you to the picture show
Nobody else in the place
Something about you that I'd like to know
More than the side of your face
I really love you, want to be with you
Why won't you hold my hand?
So tell me, baby, I don't have rabies
Why won't you hold my hand?
While we're staring at the lunar glow
Our features all trimmed in light
My affection for you starts to grow
Now do I look like I bite?
Why don't you want me, why must you taunt me?
Why won't you hold my hand?
You make me crazy, are you just lazy?
Why won't you hold my hand?
It's really killin' that I'm so willin'
Why won't you hold my hand?
Said you were tryin', or were you lyin'
Why won't you hold my hand?

SLIDER (English)
I'm nervous, man, I need my crutch
Come here and tell me that you love me so much
I'm sick, man, with a troubled mind
How could someone be so unkind?
Can't they see what they're doing to me, to us all, to themselves?
Are their hearts so very black and deep that they themselves never delve?
I need some hope, I need it all
Without support, I'll surely fall
I am the pawn of circumstance
I am alone outside the trance
Why does everybody turn away?
Can they be deaf to my pleas?
Is there no one who will care enough to raise me from my bloody knees?
What did I do to make an enemy of you?
What did I do? Give me a clue
What am I supposed to do?
What am I supposed to do?
What am I supposed to do?
By the way, what am I to say?
I just can't wait, my need controls my consciousness, my very soul
I'll give it up, I swear I will
Why, I could die or even kill
It's been happening for way too long
My, how the time flies
And they could have seen it all along in my desperate eyes

3rd GHOST (English)
Look around you, seem familiar?
From the look of you, you've been here before
Up the garden path you led yourself
Where you said you would be nevermore
Conversations in your mind cause you to the truth be blind
But don't stop listening
You must not miss a thing
You're bound to your fantasies
You pray they'll never cease
Lonely loner in your single bed
Into your pillow your passions pour
You give yourself to phantom dreams
Then wonder why there is no more
