1. Break The Ice 4.42

Why do you stare at me?
It's hard to please when you're feeling ill at ease
Hey, let it go
You have feelings inside let them show

Grim craven mind
Timid all the time
Can't come out of your shell
It's hell

It's time to break the ice
It's time to break the ice

Shame, shame on you
There are so many things that you could do
Hey, can't you see?
Love is a stream that endlessly flows in me

Grim craven mind
Timid all the time
Can't come out of your shell
It's hell

It's time to break the ice
It's time to break the ice

2. The Hands Of Time 5.36

The time is running
It's running so fast that you don't
Notice years are passing by
And you're growing older
What happened to all your dreams?
Did they become true at all

We cannot undo the deeds of the years
They leave you on your own with your deepest fears

Don't look for the future
Don't live in the past
Just take it day by day 'cause life goes fast
The minutes the hours
The days and the years will fly so
Live still when you have the time

We cannot undo the deeds of the years
They leave you on your own with your deepest fears

Wheel of the time
Turns again tonight
Eternally
Decides our destiny
Wheel of the time
Turns again tonight
Reason or rhyme
Hands of time

3. Madness Strikes At Midnight 7.19

He's crawling out from the asylum now
Under cover of the night
Insanity of his crazy mind
It's useless for you now to hide
Walking the streets someone's in sight
He's waiting for you in the night
Hiding in the shadows, hiding in the alleys
He's ready to kill tonight

So lock your doors and hide
And pray your god 'cause you're not alone

Years he spent in the cage
They did not help him at all
Now today with the power of his rage
He's slaughtering people tonight
Walking the streets someone's in sight
He's waiting for you in the night
Hiding in the shadows, hiding in the alleys
He's ready to kill tonight

So lock your doors and hide
And pray your god 'cause you're not alone

Madness strikes at midnight
Madness strikes at night

4. Metal Frenzy 2.20

Instrumental

5. Twilight Time 5.51

Danger zone
I look into the mirror see my face again
I hear myself preaching
You are getting bold
Growing old
Skin turns cold

You're to blame
But I will find the way to be myself again
I break the mirror with the noise
Stop preaching me
Teaching me
Leave me be

There's no way to stop me now
My end is in sight
I reach for the light
Tonight, tonight, tonight

Twilight time
It's twilight time
Reaching for a morning light
It's twilight time

6. The Hills Have Eyes 6.20

Come with me my child
It's gonna take a little while
To teach you the knowledge
Of the ancient rhyme

Fly with me tonight
Through the cosmic sea
It's a mystery

From the thirst for life
You will never keep away
Pleasure of one man
Makes another man a prey

Fly with me tonight
Through the cosmic sea
It's a mystery

Hills have eyes
Mind your step you'll better be wise
Or you never rise again
Hills have eyes
Never forgive nor compromise
You fail in vain

7. Out Of The Shadows 4.10

Out of the light from
The mist, from the shadows I go
Facing the new world
The odd things the places unknown

Far away
I sail away today

Seeing a new face
Impression, the moment the thought
Unarmed and naked
Defenseless my mind is caught

Far away
It sails away today

Out of the shadows we go
There's no reason to hide anymore
Out of the shadows we go
Into the new horizon
Towards the new shore we go

8. Lead Us Into The Light 5.45

Hey you take a look around
Can you feel the change begin?
Soon it will be too late
If you don't wake up
Outside the winds are blowing
And the people are staring so cold
The look that's in their eyes
Tells me something's wrong

Lead us into the light
Lead us into the light

It's so strange
We have gone so far
Still knowing what will happen
If we close our eyes
Is this the hell on Earth?
And the heaven is out of our sight
Open your eyes, realize
It's not too late

Lead us into the light
Lead us into the light
