What am I supposed to do now Surrendering to darkness I try to tie up all the loose ends Left hanging in my dreams Hope is my only friend now I hold onto it like a blanket No one beside me, feels a little frightening Now hope has left me too I'm scared because I might just stay awake at night Who's gonna catch me when I fall A stranger trapped me in a room I can't escape and now I'm Trapped within these walls Trapped within these walls Trapped within these walls Trapped within these walls You can hear me screaming at the top of my lungs Praying for the night to end I pound my fist against the ceiling Cause I like when it bleeds But how am I supposed to sleep now Slowly drifting into madness Everything's great, it's just a phase I'm in I whisper but I can't even convince myself And dying in my dreams is a recurring theme It doesn't scare me anymore I would unlock this door if I just found the key but I'm still Trapped within these walls Trapped within these walls Trapped within these walls Trapped within these walls I refuse to switch the light on Cause I'm afraid of all the shadows I try to tie up all the loose ends Left hanging in my dreams Don't wanna put myself up on the highest shelf No one will catch me when I fall It's not like I expected to be rescued by another Prisoner of circumstances staring at these walls Too scared to even try knowing the reason why Life is blocking all my calls A stranger trapped me in a room I can't escape and now I'm Trapped within these walls Trapped within these walls Trapped within these walls I'm trapped within these walls

Bite your fingernails Believe in fairy tales Trust their point of view Swallow what they spit at you They divide us into few

Solitude, isolation Emptiness and desolation I feel like a stranger to myself And yet, so familiar The time has come to finally Rethink my life All I was The moment your heart must surrender Don't worry, cause you're not alone A dream where you're floating in heaven Remaining in a world of your own You can feel yourself My visions fade like my memories Acceptance is all I may find Returning to my only shelter All pain is erased from my mind I can't see my face Ooooh, Ah, Ah Ooooh, Ah, Ah

Engines running for the lift-off Countdown ready for the start And we're falling into space Slowly drifting out of orbit Can't you see we're on our way Trying to reach the solar systems The stars no one has reached before On interstellar roads we travel When I'm looking through my window All I see are fields of stardust Eternal night instead of daylight But the darkness does not hurt If our own world dies tomorrow We will have to find a home It's all for the sake of mankind That's our mission, we won't fail We are out here on our own Trying to reach the distant planets And stranger corners of the galaxy Never getting back home again On interstellar roads we travel On interstellar roads we travel On interstellar roads we travel Never finding an ultimate goal

Set an alarm for the end of time Cause I'm sure I'll meet you there He has gotten all he wanted in his life But he left his youth somewhere Driving home on an empty street And the radio signal's weak Fidgeting in my empty seat Thinking words I'll never speak I don't know where the roads will lead But I'm waiting patiently For a road that will lead me home to you I never want to be without you again I never want to be without you again There is nothing left for me here to collect In the sand we both draw lines that don't connect And we send mixed signals in a foreign dialect Now our lives are changing, what did we expect They play our song on the radio And I turn the volume down I got sick of these concrete walls So I'm staying out of town But the melodies follow me No matter where I go Can't you see that I want to be alone But I never want to be without you again I never want to be without you again I'm gonna write a song about you again Cause I never want to be without you again Don't worry, everything is fine You got your blues and I got mine If I'm the earth, if you're the sea There is no "us" in "you and me" The stars burn bright in the midnight sky Like the fire in my heart To this day I still wonder why I would let them play my part You were gone on a saturday Like a thief you stole the night But I moved on and found my way outside Without you

Swim Away From me Turn Your head When you see Me Walking In Your Way I have no idea how How to talk to To someone Who Will Just Stay Quiet

Our busy minds reflect upon mysteries unsolved Our world may fall apart Our world may end today But after all we can say At the end of the day That we are still here Yes, we still breathe

Gently pulled downstream By sweeping waterfalls A body paralysed By nature's soothing call And the river flows Into the sea Anywhere it goes It carries me A voice had called my name As I was washed ashore I go back whence I came Not where I'm striving for And I can't believe my eyes We swim and then we die And the river flows Into the sea Anywhere it goes It carries me And the river flows Into the sea Anywhere it goes It carries me It carries me We are

Sleeping all day and it's working fine Hiding from problems that aren't mine Ignoring debates, discussions and interviews Shielding myself from the latest news And my day goes on, and on Politics come across as pretentious and cheap During talkshows, I tend to fall asleep Global issues don't bother me at all Compared to mine, they seem rather small I... I don't care Some might say that it's not clever That I can't avoid reality forever But I stopped caring long ago, their words mean nothing So I just shrug and walk away, but deep inside I'm laughing I'm going home... to sleep some more

Midnight sweat in every pore Never felt as cold before Friends and neighbours come visiting no more Red blood turns black and sore All we thought we had is gone Every battle lost and won Kick the poet, he knows you've had your fun Now it's him and you have none A crimson shimmer on the bathroom floor As I sit in silence, pain comes knocking at my door Yeah, I know that phrase is quite a common allegory But someone told me every image tells a tragic story People tell me not to worry, but I don't feel alright Like Han Solo when he was frozen in carbonite Is it just myself or has the air become a bit chilly I guess that deep inside of me I feel somewhat silly For interrupting ... my train of thought Now I'm slowly going crazy in my flower pot Sorry for not telling you sooner about my sorrow I was hoping I would feel alright again tomorrow I was hoping I would feel alright again tomorrow I'd like to complain I'd like to explain My situation But I can't I'd like to complain I'd like to explain My situation But I can't

OVERTURE (Instrumental) I: OUR NOBLE GOALS For thousands of years Men have tried various forms of state But what's the reason Have we not learned to communicate Monarchies, democracies In the end all of them have failed To provide a better life For the majority I'd say I was born a free man Then they told me I had to obey And do what they say They never asked me anyway This needs to change right now The system won't work out for long And we shall stand together And fight for our rights and sing our song II: BRAVE NEW WORLD In our brave new world We shall prevail We shall live our lives In peace and harmony We shall make our choices today In this brave new world of ours we stay In our brave new world We stand up and fight We turn off the lights No state can take our right We shall make our choices right now In this brave new world of ours somehow III: TOTAL OPPRESSION Politicians form our world as they like it to be All the money for themselves and for their families So watch out 'cause they can tell you Everything that they want you to do In the end they always win you have no chance so just give up, you fool Governments are everywhere they tell us what to think, they put their hands right in your minds just like some wretched shrink Run for cover, they oppress you, they control you this is not your life, work all day and dream of peace They steal your bread while you try to survive This needs to change right now (And so we try to change it) The system won't work out for long (Yeah, listen to me) And we shall stand together (Together) And fight for our rights and sing our song (...sing our song) INTERLUDE IV: PROGRESS AND ORDER Progress and order Our people shall have a bright future Elections and free speech Where would our nation be now had we not achieved these Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Progress and order V: THE GENERAL Training our soldiers so you feel protected They fight for freedom and often give their lives Make sure their country never gets neglected Leaving their children, husbands and their wives You should never be afraid For we never shall be late You don't have to live in fear Our protection is right here VI: YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND Now is this really the life that you have chosen Believing that we are the enemy In fact, we always took care of your problems But you don't ever, ever want to see There's still a chance for you to change your minds Is there a reason to overthrow this state We can be civilised and talk about your struggle Find a solution and keep up the debate VII: GRAND FINALE CHOIR: Don't close the door on each other There's still much to talk about No reason to fight one another So listen up more than you shout While we may not find a solution That won't mean the question is gone Individual against institution This debate ever keeps going on

There's a whisper of familiarity When I gaze into the orange skies in front of me Any moment now, daylight will be gone For a while as we anticipate a new day's dawn The sun may set but it's never gone forever Take a walk again, breathe the open air And a gust of northern wind is messing up my hair There's no nation like hibernation, right All of this will be forgotten when we reunite The sun may set but it's never gone forever Every passing week Is filling me with doubt Truth is what I seek I'm just thinking out loud I'm not terrified, I just need a friend Who will hold me close and care for me until the end And together we overcome the storm We can crush our fear tonight and keep each other warm The sun may set but it's never gone forever The night is long but it doesn't last forever
