So many years ago
the people on this earth, they were laughin'
They didn't think of anything else
than love and peace
But generations failed to see
that they were causin'
trouble for the future
They didn't know that one single war
would continue to increase

But I'll be beside you
cause I want to hide you
I'll cover my pain
or I'll go insane

Oh Lord, where will it end
When tomorrow is gone
Oh Lord, can we stop to pretend
that we can survive in the future to come

As long as you can see
As long as you can feel
There's no cause for alarm
As long as you can touch
As long as you can move
It ain't too bad
But one day or another
this world would maybe
be destroyed forever
A holocaust could maybe be spread
and drive us all mad

There was a time when I was satisfied
There was a time when everything felt right
But now' the time for me to decide
and I've only got one solution in sight

Don't know where I'm going
but I know it feels right
And though my feelings are showing
I'm not afraid, it's alright

So long, farewell
I've got to go
Be strong, be well
I want you to know
that maybe we'll meet someday

Should I stay or should I go
It was not easy to decide
But you told me I already knew
I guess you wondered why I lied

Four hundred years back in this time
Seven Doors Hotel
A massacre took place and a young man died
Opened one gate to Hell
The Eibon is open
Use your eyes to read and learn
In the end it could be, it could be your turn

1981 traces were found
That could not exist in one's mind
A woman could lead you, totally deceive you
Without you're knowing she's blind
The Eibon is open
Use your eyes to read and learn
In the end it could be, it could be your turn

Oh, oh, oh, Seven Doors Hotel
Oh, oh, oh, one of seven gates to Hell
Oh, oh, oh, Seven Doors Hotel
Oh, oh, oh, one of seven gates to Hell

Do always watch out for things that you see
But don't understand
The Devil is there, always somewhere
Ready to command
The Eibon is open
Use your eyes to read and learn
In the end it could be, it could be your turn

Oh, oh, oh, Seven Doors Hotel
Oh, oh, oh, one of seven gates to Hell
Oh, oh, oh, Seven Doors Hotel
Oh, oh, oh, one of seven gates to Hell

Four hundred years back in this time
Seven Doors Hotel
A massacre took place and a young man died
Opened one gate to Hell
The Eibon is open
Use your eyes to read and learn
In the end it could be, it could be your turn

Oh, oh, oh, Seven Doors Hotel
Oh, oh, oh, one of seven gates to Hell
Oh, oh, oh, Seven Doors Hotel
Oh, oh, oh, one of seven gates to Hell

They were attacked by surprise
In the middle of the night
They didn't stand a single chance
A single chance to fight

After the battle, they gathered around the king
And they had never seen that man so sad
'I'm riding out to get those men
Who hurt my people bad, so bad'

The king will return with gold in his hand
The castle will burn in the enemy land
And he will save our people

When two springs had passed
A messanger came down the track
He said that he had heard great news
The king is coming back

Oh the time he was gone, they suffered bad in misery
They didn't know the way
Everyone was shouting, save our kingdom now

The king will return with gold in his hand
The castle will burn in the enemy land
And he will save our people

They suffered bad in pain, the time he was away
But maybe now they could survive
Now they could survive

When the king came down the hill
To his people and his land
There were many tears that touched the ground
Made marks in the sand

Yes, now they could start all over again
And live in peace throughout time
Everyone was shouting when the king came down the hill

The king is returning with gold in his hand
The castle is burning in the enemy land
The king is...

So many words have passed through my mind
Never thought I'd be so blind
Wish I could understand you

So many things I've heard and seen
But still don't know what you mean
When you say "I'm leaving you"

I wish I could remember
Everything I've learnt

I've tried and tried to be so good
And I know I should
Say something before you go

Cause every time I've done something wrong
It's so hard to be strong
Gone are the feelings I want to show

Words of wisdom, teach me more
Words of wosdom, so much more

Lay your hand upon my shoulder
Say something that I want to hear
Time will wash out every trace of sadness
If only you are near

I've tried so hard to be somebody
But now I'm found

And we can be together
And travel far away
And we can love forever
In some of Paradize Bay

Carry me, oh bring me out of fantasy
Tell me this is real
Tell me that you won't give up
And tell me it's a good thing to feel

The wind is carrying your voice
The message is "Don't ever walk away"
And the only answer I can give to you
Is that I'm always gonna stay

There is no time to pay my sin
And everywhere blows a firewind
I'm all alone trying to survive

It's coming back into my head
Memories of the time we had
I'm trying hard to stay alive

The sun is down, the day is done
The sky is dark, and I'm on the run
Yesterday is so far away

The wind is strong, there's something wrong
But I just have to carry on
For tomorrow is a brand new day

Cause I left you without saying I'd go
Yes, I left you without letting you know

My memory is chasin' me
Over mountains high, and across the sea
Will I ever be well again
I want the strength to carry on,
What's done is done,
I want the power in me to remain strong
