DRIFTER LYRICS

1. Dust To Dust

2. Reality Turns To Dust

Follow me
In my world of dreams
Be my true companion
Come in the dense forest
of the mythical tales
Penetrate and feel
The breath of fear
Glide into the land of fantasy

Come in

I saw ‘em marching, immortal legions
I saw the land of the cyclops
From the peak of the mountains
I sounded the horn
on the captured hostile ships
No earthquake,
no shower of arrows
blinded me.

I overflew the seven seas
I fought in the arenas of time
No armed forces behind me.

I crossed the zones of the underworld
I saw death, blood, hate and despair
I survived the holy war
No storm, no power blinded me

Fight Kill Die

3. Crime Of A Lifetime

Life as everybody knows
Can’t be defined by the mind
You live your own way of life
Never knowing how it ends

Crime of the gods lifetime

You never expected
You’d have a destiny
Cos your life doesn’t seem to be something special
Lifetimes’ endless game of chess
White’n black like good’n evil
But who will win your game ?

There will be something on your way
That will change your mind !
You don’t see it coming,
Step after step,
Like a dark figure
Walking down a hall
Towards a certain door
There you’ll find the sense in life.

Now you’re wondering
Why you’re too powerless to stop it,
Your whole life is a crime
Crime of the gods,
Living a lifetime
Suicide’s on your mind
There’s no escape
All you gotta do
Is play your fucking game till the end !

4. Spiritual Diary Of Oppression

What’s this stench of death ?
Where am I ,
The air seems to be infected
I am in the dark
No, no I am captured and betrayed

Syrus, you’ve broken the sacred oath
You’ve betrayed me

You’ve pushed me into this hell
You’ve betrayed me

You’ve betrayed our home
and all our friends
You’ve betrayed me

For gold and power you became a scoundrel
You’ve betrayed me

What has happened
At our meeting place ?

Syrus are you here ?
Brother where are you ?
Show yourself, it’s me
What’s the matter,
Who are those soldiers ?
No Syrus, what have you done,
You diary traitor
You bloody traitor !

Captured in this dungeon by my equals.
Chained for the rest of my life
My suffering is not comparable
With the one of my people,
Cos I’m only one of so many

My curse upon the torturer of ourselves
Our empire will be reborn
The time of oppression won’t last much longer.

5. No Fear Of The Future

Every morning you go to work
Every day you gotta act like a slave
And the big man behind the desk grinding his hands
He’s groaning about his profits, making him bigger’n bigger
He laughs at you
He uses all your force to keep his system rolling on.
He tells you all about your rights
You never ever realized
He has the power, has the money
But if you don’t agree with him
You’l be back on the streets no sooner than you know.

We don’t accept it anymore
We are breaking free
We say:
Fuck them all !
Hands’re rising
We are strong
Fuck them all !
Show we’re one union
They will fall

We fear of the future
Why should we be their slaves ?
They can’t prevent our rising
It’s our hate that makes us strong
Hate makes us bigger’n bigger
Now, now, we are laughing at them !

6. Senseless Death

War – everyone knows that word
Everyone is afraid of it

War terror pain and fear
The fear of certain death

Over thousands of years in so many wars
Men killed men so senselessly

They did what they want to do
And do not listen to the voice of good sense

Making machines to destroy yourself with brute force.

To order we kill, we massacre, we destroy, we burn down.

Nobody wants the total war,
‘cos everyone knows its high price

Press the button and the bombs are out
And we’ll have to start it all again

Stop and think, let it be
Throw those weapons away
Save the world
Stop this madness

Why are we still killing ?

Why do we kill ????

7. Burning Circles

All around is the darkness
When you are running for the light
Deep inside you burns a fire
You know it’s your desperate heart

Flying high against the starlight
Flying high where dragons die
Now you see it’s in the distance
Burning circles catch you by surprise

Burn – All around is the darkness
Burn - When you’re running for the light
Burn - Deep inside you burns a fire
Burn – Burning circles in your mind

To the burning circles
To the burning circles
To the burning circles

You’re burning in the heat
It makes you sweat
But you never feel it
You feel the Black Voodoo Power
Is it the end or just a dream ?

Inside the circles you see the master’s face
Laughing at you with glimmering eyes
Your soul is caught by the hands of doom
Now you have to dance forever –

All your life

8. Highlander

I come from another time
Deep far away in the past –
I’ve got my mission to fight to be able to change the world -
Or to let it fall into times of darkness
The highlands are my home where I was born to be
The only one that lasts

Just one of us will stand as the last
Just one can win the battle
Just one of us will see the glory
Just one can break that black
If I lose my head by the swords of my enemies
Nobody will destroy the black one’s power

The highlands are my home where I was born to be
The only one that lasts

I am the Highlander
I’ve come into your time
To be the winner of the great meeting

My only love is stacked on this world
So beware of its coldness and darkness
So beware of a time
When the blackness is coming from beyond
To rule this morbid world

9. Banners On The Battlefield

In the early morning the cock is crying -
And the sun still lies in the twilight
A crusader is already standing –
Watching the sunrise before he will fight

Die Die Die Die

He knows warriors will die
or survive on the battlefield

Die Die Die Die

Running on the battlefield below the arrows shower

Warriors fighting face to face eye to eye
Galloping horses screaming death
Dying knights clashing swords, splitting shields,
The blood is flowing slowly

Banners on the battlefield are waving proud
Banners on the battlefield between life ’n’ death
Banners on the battlefield out of time
Banners on the battlefield out of time

Whose banner will stand in victory ?
Whose banner will fall in dust ?
Knight ride into attack
Up above the gods of war are celebrating
The end comes closer with rage ’n fear
Cruel men violence ’n’ destruction are ruling
Some fanfares are calling for victory
Others are dying in this way

Die Die Die Die

He knows warriors will die
or survive on the battlefield

Die Die Die Die

Running on the battlefield below the arrows shower

After the battle is over it’s calm
The slaves taken in chains.
To wait for death
That’s the price they must pay in the end
The gods drink their blood laughing at them

Banners on the battlefield are waving proud
Banners on the battlefield between life’n’ death
Banners on the battlefield out of time
Banners on the battlefield out of time

Now the time has come to leave this place of doom
The sun goes down again, tomorrow’s another day
Maybe one day people will forget what happened here
The truth, a legend, a lie or just a fantasy ?

10. La Bamba
