like the story's been told

shows the blind man the way

to mystery bay

then a dream will come true

for the sad and the blue

so recall - come what may -

the lonely road to mystery bay

(....the lonely road to mystery bay)

Well, the night was dark and the moon was pale

the saints were searching for the holy grail

I drove real slow in the ultrafast way

and the lonely road to mystery bay

well, it's the goddamned truth - no, it ain't no tale

when the bad stay hungry - then the good ones fail

i've seen too much - that's the price you pay

on the lonely road to mystery bay

suddenly the radio screamed

it was still switched off but, man, it seemed

like a distant kiss of yesterday

on the lonely road to mystery bay

and when the night is over

and they've swallowed your pride

and there ain't no place to hide:

recall - recall - recall - recall

...on the loney road to mystery bay

...on the loney road to mystery bay

recall - recall - recall - the fall - recall the fall

well, the radio ghost said: "it's time to go

to the reasons why the grace below

it's not the aim - it's just the way

on the loney road to mystery bay"

well, what could I say - what could i do?

lightning flashed and so did you

as i woke up and the light of the day

told me "welcome home at mystery bay"

and when the night is over

and they've swallowed your pride

and there ain't no place to hide:

recall - recall - recall - recall

He was water when the river

took a screaming mother's life

in the night he was the reason

why the ripper used his knife

he was anger, hate and misery

in a billion deadly wars

he was the rising flag of violence

when fanatism made the laws

he hid where the snake led adam

to damnation with a grin

he was around when the young girl lost her innocence

to a man not worth her sin

all the years he was a gambler

threw the cards and rolled the dice

fed the ages of temptation

with the grapes of sacrifice

mephisto - just a painted face

mephisto - when you cut quiet noise

mephisto - with a helping hand

mephisto - you're lost my friend

- with every soul he takes

another price of his cold heart breaks

he was not allowed to cry

when the earth screamed lound in pain

when silence broke the music

and millions died in vain

he's the inner voice of darkness

that makes our conscience die

he was the smoke over battlefields

and the deadly thirst of science

mephisto.....

Someday - time will tell - you will see

what a gift this life is - we

are meant to be

free

when we leave this world behind

the magic of the night

leads the naked and the blind

to the other side

of a dreamer's golden mind

and forevers burn so bright

turn around and you will find

another shinin' light

down on senseless avenue

all your fantasies come true

welcome home, my chosen few

when your hot gets a little cold

when your young gets a little old

your now gets a little then

- subway angel's caravan

when your hot gets a little cold

when your young gets a little old

lost souls will be found again

- subway angel's caravan

there's a seat that knows your name

when things have gone astry

and there's no one left to blame

'cause your friends all went away

i'm your destiny tonight

got a billion songs to play

i'm the reason you've denied

and the clown of life's decay

down on senseless avenue.....

"love rules" says the neon sign

"trust calls when your blood is wine..."

when your hot gets a little cold.....

So here's to you - my last farewell:

i hate your face

i hate your smile

i hate your grace

i hate your style

i hate your words

your silence, too

- all i can say is: i hate you

i hate your good

i hate your bad

i hate your blue

i hate your red

i hate your clothes

your presence, too

- all i can say is: i hate you

there's a trace and a tear below

my wishes taste like fire

you're just a gun for hire

so here's to you - my last farewell

i hope your soul will burn in hell

i've worked real hard to break this spell

all that remains is my last farewell

i hate your wrong

i hate your right

i hate your strong

i hate your light

i hate your soft

your violence, too

- all i can say is: i hate you

there's a trace and a tear below

my wishes taste like fire

you're just a gun for hire

so here's to you - my last farewell

i hope your soul will burn in hell

i've worked real hard to break this spell

all that remains is my last farewell

i hate your truth - i hate your lies

i hate your false self sacrifies

i hate your tricks - your matches, too

all i can say is: i hate you

so here's to you - my last farewell

i hope your soul will burn in hell

i've worked real hard to break this spell

all that remains is my last farewell

so here's to you - my last farewell.....

I've lost and loved

sreamed and cried

i've seen the devil's face

and on the other side

i've seen the rainbow

i've seen your smile

i've seen the mountains high

and i've tried to keep my style

someday we'll find - someday we'll know

someday the blind will see to show

someday we'll fight someday we'll pray

someday

all the dreams - all the tears

all my lies and all my fears

all the blood - all the pain

all the friends i've lost in vain

all the love - all the hate

all the trust and all the fate

and when someday i'll reach the end

lust to ashes - dust to sand

i've seen the rise

i've seen the fall

i've seen 'em up again

and higher after all

i've been the trigger

i've been a fool

i've been the last to know

and i've been a tool

someday we'll find - someday we'll know

someday the blind will see to show

someday we'll fight someday we'll pray

someday

all the dreams - all the tears

all my lies and all my fears

all the blood - all the pain

all the friends i've lost in vain

all the love - all the hate

all the trust and all the fate

and when someday i'll reach the end

lust to ashes - dust to sand

lust to ashes - dust to sand.....

I believe someone's blood is another one's wine

i believe someone's trace is another one's sign

i believe someone's live is another one's hate

i believe someone's soon is much too late

you look surprised - you shouldn't be, my friend

this world is full of cretins who still pretend

to sell tomorrow and a guiding light

i do believe in nothing but the night

someone's pleasure is another one's pain - glissando

someone's fire is another one's rain - glissando

someone's lightning flashed in vain - glissando

i believe - i don't know

i believe - life will show

i believe - it's time to go

glissando

i believe someone's lie is another one's truth

i believe someone's dawn is another one's youth

i believe someone's gold is another one's grey

i believe someone's lust is the price to pay

you look surprised - you shouldn't be, my friend

this world is full of cretins who still pretend

to sell tomorrow and a guiding light

i do believe in nothing but the night

someone's pleasure is another one's pain - glissando

someone's fire is another one's rain - glissando

someone's lightning flashed in vain - glissando

i believe - i don't know

i believe - life will show

i believe - it's time to go

glissando

someone's pleasure is another one's pain - glissando.....

Mondy we cry when leaves are fallin'

tuesday a ray of hope is callin'

wednesday we spend the night together

thursday we try to love forever

friday we're left -again- alone

and the weekend's dressed in black and made of stone

stay gold - when the world comes down on you

stay gold - when you're lost in days of blue

stay gold - when forever's lies come true - so

stay gold - when you haven't got a clue

stay gold

of war and reason

- trigger and season - just to get closer

lies again - over when we are

just like the angry ones torn apart

we ride in vain

down the rain

old at heart

stay gold.....

yesterday life was fast and yellow

today we believe in answers mellow

tomorrow we lose our common senses

eternity comes with picket fences

stay gold.....

Someday I'll find a way

tonight i found just shame someday - my life's delay

might break this spell of fame

today is like tomorrow

- tomorow's just like yesterday

the tales below

and the skies of time's decay

someday may rule the show

and silent waves the bay

today is like tomorrow

- tomorrow's just like you and

so i'm far from home

i'm miles away wherever i may roam

so i'm far from home

i'm miles away wherever i may roam

the waters flow

the wild winds blow

i walk the line an here i go

i'm far away from home

someday - to run and hide

in the world outside to stay

someday may tame the light

only angels ride and stray

today is like tomorrow.....

just one more word in spanish

"adios" i have to say

i follow trails and vanish

beyond the morning's grey

someday i'll find "together"

somewhere i'll find a trace

someone to stand the weather

and never fall from grace

someday like now or never

somewhen like joy and pain

somehow to last forever

against the streams and lost in vain

and so i'm far from home.....

Below the mighty cliff

where the lovers use to hide

they found a skeleton on the beach

the day the loner died

it just lay there with broken bones

in the rays of the sunset's light

well, the loner was some kinda relict

from another century

the sidewalk angels gave him a smile

when he helped the lost for free

he always wore a long black coat

and some real old working shoes

some years ago he had been a teacher

'til the stormflood made the news

the day of the loner

the day of the loner

the day of the loner

the day of the loner

he lost his wife and kid

and - for sure - the will to live

he turned to heavy drinkin'

and then he jumped off that mighty cliff

it must have been a miracle

he didn't die or even got hurt

and the next day he went down to the dark part of town

- a crusader against the dirt

the day of the loner.....

the cops, they never caught him

and they left with a smile on the face

and the years rode away but the loner stayed

until someday he lost the race

but as the smoke cleared just a long black coat

but no body was ever found

and somewhere nowhere a teacher met

his family on heavenly ground

the day of the loner.....

The one and only liar

lost his faith and cried

where the broekn candles burn

he gazed into the fire

saw the truth and died

and the wheels of time did turn

and when the strangers meet

to face my heart - my life - my tears inside

in this world we know

where do we go without pride?

hey mister, can't you tell me

why the bells call

and the wheels of time will turn forever

fear thesilence in my soul

and the wheels of time will turn and never

rest where golden dices roll

and the wheels of time will turn forever's

just a six-feet-under-hole

the last and lonely hero

lately passed away

his ghost is ridin' on the wind

destination zero

every single day

he shares a smile with those who sinned

and the wheels of time.....
