02. Messiah

 

In an age in we were born

You look at the sky, forlorn

The sun is shining, but not on you

You feel you are the thorn

On the withering rose that they call life

As they stand alone with a knife

This is a suicidal age, so full of rage

As the centuries closed the cage

There is no way to reverse, to start again

This is a tragic movie called fall of mankind

We are blind, still marching toward

The gates of hell, as living a pure life seems to be hard (impossible)

 

I do not care about faraway lands (why do you care?)

I do not believe if someone pretends

To be so good, so kind, you think I'm blind, but I say

I am not – ‘cause I am your…

 

Messiah, believe me

I do not promise to save the world

But I listen to what you say, listen to every word

And if you wish to follow me, then come with me

On my journey toward salvation

To my haven, it's not heaven or a place of God

It's just a calm spot somewhere far

Away from noise, away from war

It's just mine but I give it to you

If you wish to come, and I hope you do

Come with me

 

Wars tear apart the ugly present

As a county lead by an ugly peasant

Is decided to be omnipotent

But I'm not singing about them at the moment

It's about you, your little lives

About the grey cities crowded like hives

With people having sorrowful feelings

It's about you, human beings

Unable to act, paralyzed by fears

Blinded by your sorrowful tears

As you cannot see the light so bright

So listen to me and feel the might

 

You are angel, why would you die

Even in my caress why do you cry

Why don't you feel the might I feel

Why do you deny standing on your heel

I would help you to forget the past

And defeat the demons of tyranny

Imagine life as a grand, long test

In which you have to achieve victory

By surviving every single moments

By fighting for yourself till it ends

By closing your fist and starting to defend

Your salvation is in your own hand – but if you wish I'll be your…

  

I hope you will save me

And never let me down

Never let me drown alone

You'll never be gone

As I need you in my life (okay, my little wife)

 

You do not have to believe in God or Fate or anything

It's enough if you've got a ray of hope flickering

You might have a little flame or a burning fire

You have to act to fulfill your desire

I am here for you as you took my hand

You gave me power and now I give you strength

I won't be crucified even if I carry my cross

Meine Schicksal endet bei dir, in deine endlose Schloß

 

Hilf mir meiner Erlöser, hilf mir meine Liebe

Mit dir zu sein ist Die Freude

Das einzige, die ich brauche.

Liebst du mir? Ich hoffe sehr

Ich liebe dich, du liebst mich auch

Und das ist meine erlösung – ich bin der
