Come hither to this place and let your mind fly free
For that's the only way how everyone should be
We all need something that we can keep on livin' for
No one needs to tell us what we're doin' anymore

Head on, head on steady - until the end of time
Living, living ready - for livin' ain't no crime

So tell me, aren't we all just one holding the flame
Against al the babbits in this world who build up frames
Some time or tomorrow we will prove them traitors wrong
So make your dreams come true for it mustn't take too long

Head on, head on steady - until the end of time
Living, living ready - for livin' ain't no crime

Now what's the use of livin here and what's it worth
Don't ask but throw away your fear this earth
You are here to live don't think you're here to understand
Don't forget you're no one without someone's helping hand

Head on, head on steady - until the end of time
Living, living ready - for livin' ain't no crime

(m&l - parfitt)

How can i see what i'm leaving for?
How can i give what i gave before?
How can you tell me that you want me to stay?
How can i stay when i'm trying to say,
That i can't live without the rain,
Yes i cant live without the rain.

How can i feel what i'm trying to feel,
How can i move when i'm heel to heel,
You're always shouting about the doubt in my eye,
But i can't answer cos my eyes are so dry.
Now i can't live without the rain.
Yes i can't live without the rain.

I cant live without the rain,
That's falling on my head,
Rain that's falling on my head.

Rain that's falling,
Rain that's falling,
Rain that's falling on my head.

I'd started thinking back to you when,
I'd like to send a line but then again,
How can i write you when there aint no light,
I'm feeling tight tonight but that's alright.
Now i can't live without the rain,
Yes i can't live without the rain.

Daily in the news and on the screen
They wanna show you how to look like
How to be a star
But if you bignosed without muscles
You are not attractive
You don't fit in what's so popular
Four pounds too much without a suntang
Selfrespect is fading
They already tooked away your pride
California dreamgirl with her brain down in her pussy
You will never reach her you're too small

Wake up all you idiots don't close your eyes
And see there is only one thing you can be
This is just you and nothing else
Start to believe all in yourself
Stop to running after visions you don't need

Who is in the mirror
Do you really trust this face
Smiles at you so bad and ugly
This is not yourself anymore
Will a soul feel well in plastic bodies
Where it don't belong
Silicon and lifted faces
Don't you really know who you are

Don't try to hide
If you don't look like monroe
The smile on your face this is real
Just be yourself that's the deal

California dreamman
With a smile made out of plastic
Juicy woman dreams that you can buy
Selling you a dream so far away
And so fantastic until you realise you won't get high

Now you're close to suicide
Your dream bursts like a bubble
All the gossip you once liked is gone
Your addiction to be skinny is driving you to madness
I hope now you can see what you have done

(m&l - kiske)

You hide, won't fight
Avoid the daylight
Give in, won't win
No try to make it right

Why don't you stop crying
Stop your painful dying
Why don't you give your life a sense

One game, one aim
But you're always sleeping
One light so bright
In darkness you're creeping

Why don't you use your head
Step out of your warm bed
And stop being on anxious rat

Run - for your destination
Fly - to the sun
Don't give a damn what the people may say
It's like a chain on your leg
When you always look back
If you don't risk anything one day you'll pay

Don't run for cover
Don't cry alone
Make a step on your stairway
One step closer to what you live for
Don't run for cover
Don't throw away
The only chance that you got
To be the fire in a hot life you choose

No pride, no right ?
In your heart is more strength
You know, i know
Your destiny's in your hand

Now you have this time
To survive don't be blind
In this world where so many can't see

Try - to catch the key
Make - that you can see
The light of your life your way to go
It's like a chain on your leg
When you always look back
If you don't risk anything one day you'll pay

Don't run for cover
Don't cry alone
Make a step on your stairway
One step closer to what you live for
Don't run for cover
Don't throw away
The only chance that you got
To be the fire in a hot life you choose

(m&l - farner)

Everybody listen to me
And return me
My ship

Days uncounted
And it's months since

To my home port

Mother earth
Take me back now
Take me back now
To the port
Of my birth
To the port
Of my birth

Am i in my cabin dreaming
Or are you really schemeing
To take my ship away from me?
You better think about it
I just can't live without it
So please don't take my ship from me
Yeah yeah yeah

I can feel the hand
Of the stranger
As it's tightening
Around my throat
Heaven help me
Heaven help me
Take this stranger
From my boat
I'm your captain
I'm your captain
Though i'm feeling mighty sick
Everybody listen to me
And return me my ship
I'm your captain
Yeah yeah yeah, m getting closer to my home

(m&l - deris)

There 's a light in the sky
Shining ali a iife for one heart

That will lead you when we 're apart

Giving mind everlasting peace

Aii my love's shining
To lead you when you're gone

(m&l - stailey)

Alright
I remember the day that we met
I needed someone you needed someone too
Spent time taking all you could get
Even yourself was one thing you never could do
You played with my heart
You played with my head
I've got to laugh when i think all things you said

Cause i stole your love
Stole your love
Ain't never going to let you go
I stole your love
Stole your love

You never stop running around
You pick me up and say you want some of me
Down
You were the girl that nobody could own
You stay for a while and then you would leave me alone
But i'm something different - ain't like the rest
How does it feel to find out your failing your test

Cause i stole your love
Stole your love
Ain't never going to let you go
I stole your love
Stole your love

Guitar!

Listen!
Cause i stole your love
Stole your love
Ain't never going to let you go
I stole your love
Stole your love

I stole your love
Stole your love
Stole your love
Come on
I stole your love

(m&l - deris)

He's got the woman
Out of your dreams
You'll never find out
What it all means
But you've got patience
And still believe
That you'll be there
When she will leave

Someone will lose
Somebody's finding
Somebody smiles
Somebody's crying

Can't fight
You can't fight your desire
You can't fight your dreams, yeah
You can't fight your desire
Hold on to your dreams, yeah

So listen hard now
Man you should know
If you're just waiting
Your doubts will grow
You self-believe
Already small
Get up now
You can have it all

Someone will lose
Somebody's finding
Somebody smiles
Somebody's crying

Can't fight
You can't fight your desire
You can't fight your dreams, yeah
Can't fight
You can't fight your desire
Hold on to your dreams, yeah

Someone will lose
Somebody's finding
Somebody smiles
Somebody's crying

Can't fight
You can't fight your desire
You can't fight your dreams, yeah

This song is instumental

(m&l - grosskopf)
To give what i got, to take what i need to live, it ain't easy for me,
Darken my eyes, tell me lies, but all nice, tell me how i have to be,
Get me in your foolish game, destroy my defence, lock me in,
Throw me in your lion's cage, 'cos then i'm out of your way,

Cry with the wolves, run with the pack,
Turn around to save your neck,
'cos someone always keeps you in confusion,
Squeezed in a box, who'll win the race,
Ask no questions in this case,
What's left is only you and your illusions,

Charity is all your duty, they preach you: sharing your goods is your pride,
Patriotic-love, kill the enemy first, i can hear the other side,
What's the way out of this game? you'll either win or you lose,
I run in circles, who's to blame? is there a way i can choose?

Cry with the wolves, run with the pack,
Turn around to save your neck,
'cos someone always keeps you in confusion,
Squeezed in a box, who'll win the race,
Ask no questions in this case,
What's left is only you and your illusions,

I'm juggling on a rope without a net and hope,
I keep my balance 'cos i see them smile with open jaws,
And if i'm falling down, then i will soon be torn.
A squabble over prey: who gets the best part out of me,
To take the needle is a one-way trip without a coming back,
You take it and you still will see reality'll make upon you.

(m&l - deris)
Do you believe in fate or chances
Design or coincidences
Would you say that all the people
Live their life for good and evil
Some have reached the end of patience
Start to play with god's creation

They know you
Control you
In a game we shouldn't play
Corrupt your heart
And make you part
Of a game we shouldn't play
We run blind
In a game we shouldn't play
Its all a game we shouldn't play

If we shall die now it will happen
If we're good we'll come to heaven
If we shall live it will be so
End your life and you'll see limbo
All is fixed and predetermined
Only time will stretch new sins

He loves you
Alarms you
Of a game we shouldn't play
He tells your heart
To stay apart
From a game we shouldn't play
We run blind
In a game we shouldn't play
Its that kind of game we shouldn't play

Manipulations on the genes
Nuclear contaminated seeds
Clone of the clone in the breeder's zone
Its a game
A game we shouldn't play
We run blind
In a game we shouldn't play
Its that kind of game we shouldn't play

Hey, brother
I miss you so
You knocked on heaven's door
And we won't see you anymore
It must be crazy
What we re living for
'cause god's stopped keeping you
On the ladder of your life
I call your name with tears in my eyes

I don't wanna cry no more
Past give me hapiness and pain
Life is fleeting like o flower
From a distance, affer sorrow
I pray the lord to keep your soul
I don't wanna cry no more
We're still missing you

Life's like walking
On a high wire
You slipped away
I've seen you dying in vein
High as mountains seem
All the problems that i have
But when i hear your voice
Far away out of the dark
You just go on and on in the back of my mind

I don't wanna cry no more
Past give me hapiness and pain
Life is fleeting like o flower
From a distance, affer sorrow
I pray the lord to keep your soul
I don't wanna cry no more
We're still missing you

Skin and bone won't touch the sky
I hope you'll find passage out of the dark
To the other side of the sea
And i know that i'll see you again

I don't wanna cry no more
Past give me hapiness and pain
Life is fleeting like o flower
From a distance, affer sorrow
I pray the lord to keep your soul
I don't wanna cry no more
We're still missing you

Kiske:
Well, japan. we've been there, i think, two times now, and it's always been
A great fun playing there. i like the venues. they are sounding very good,
They look very good, and kids over there really appreciate good music and
Stuff. and i think the next time we're gonna play at the budokan, which is
Pretty cool. lookin' forward to it. it's gonna be fun.

Schwichtenberg:
Japan has been always great to play there, and will be in the future. and
Japan people are great, it's fun to play there and you feel very confident
And convinient or whatever to play there. and japanese people are listening
Very carefully, i don't know. it's great to be in japan.

Kiske:
"kids of the century" is the first life sign of us after two and a half
Years. and after all those rumours going around about this band me
Leaving the band, me splitting up, or the band splitting up, and all that
Stuff, which has been quite a lot. maybe that's normal when the band's not
On the scene for a while. but after that it feels really good to have,
Actually, a new album ready and a single out. so the kids know we are still
There. and with the music you can prove what you can do still even without
One guy that just left the band. i think we found the right person there,
Roland. and i think the album says everything. yeah, i wrote "kids of the
Century" about more than two years ago now. and remembering that time i
Feel like, when i wrote that song, i was in that feel of that all the kids
Today, they just feel like they haven't got anything to do with the
Problems. everything goes wrong, the nature or whatever. just came out of
That feeling actually. and that's what the song's all about, i think. what
The kids today...because i feel like everybody's responsible, especially
The kids. if they don't feel like they have to change anything or have to
Make things better, nobody will.

Schwichtenberg:
I think having roland in the band is.. we are as lucky as we have michael
In the band by that time, we are lucky having roland in the band. and he's
Just doing great songs and great guitar work he's doing. and a good pal as
Well. he's a nice fellow. and he just fits in the band very much. i think
The fans will accept him of course.

Weikath:
Well, the nice thing about roland being in the band is that i saw him
Like, i don't know, fifteen years ago or so on stage, and i thought that
Was pretty impressing, what he did there, and i could never forget about
That. and that's why actually i called him up then when we needed another
Guitarist, "remember that guy?". and so it took me, like, four hours to
Find out the number, like i had to phone up musicians i knew and suddenly
Somehow i got the number, and phoned him up: "you might not know me, but i
Know you. how about playing guitar in helloween?" and he didn't even know
The band. so i had to give him some examples of our songs, like really
Loud, cranked it up. and so, well, he was interested, like it quite a lot.
And then we went to rehearsing, we had to do the whole stuff within two
Months. 'cause then we had to go on an american tour and japan meant two
Hours of playing. and well, ha ha, quite a tough job i would say. after
All, i mean, we can handle that, we are pretty good, you know. and i'm
Sorry about that, but well... yeah, roland is a very nice guy. he's
Doing a big part of the band with his character, and his kind of being.
And it's quite a difference too how the whole thing worked before, because
He is a completely different character. he is a lot more calm and very
Critical. he's always got his own opinion and that's exactly what we need.

Kiske:

Yeah, we recorded the album at puk studio in denmark, which is a very good
Studio, i think, very lovely place. it's right in the middle of nowhere
But that's actually what we wanted, to really concentrate on the album.
And working with chris was pretty cool, because he's got a very strong
Sense of humor as we like it. and we had some cool moments there and
That's all caught on the album. yeah, the production that chris
Tsangarides has done is right in your face. that's the best description
Of the sound actually. so just check it out!

Schwichtenberg:
Crystal clear, or...

Kiske:
Crystal tsangarides clear, ha ha!

Weikath:
I would say thank you to everybody who kept up the faith during all that
Time, and after all, those rumours are untrue.

Schwichtenberg:
The best thing for the fans, for the people who like us, is just to listen
What comes from us directly, like this now, and the album of course.

Kiske:
Yeah, especially the album.

Schwichtenberg:
Don't trust any rumours or whatever.

Kiske:
The thing is, forget about what's been in the magazines, or what has been
Said, or all the stuff. and just check out the album and you know what's
Going on. of course, the single as well.

Schwichtenberg:
Thanks for keeping the faith.
