[Tobi] Wandering the low lands And high plains Been crossing the mountains Sailing the sea
Anxiety-free
[Jorn] Been craving for rain in the desert Saw bleak nights devour The day´s blazing heat - oh
[Tobi] A light burning out Tied to the canon´s apron Hie in obedience To the scantiness of times Meant to astound Entangled in adornment An ornament sublime
Dreams allayed No weakness gets betrayed
[Michi] Right on Swaying to the sacred fanfares Don´t you stop to run From paradise to despair
[Jorn] Yeah, strident voices
[Michi & Tobi] Now why don´t you? Why do you slow down? Right on! Don´t speak, don´t wonder! That way! This way! Don´t walk astray! Welcome to the arabesque
[Michi] Oh [Tobi] Oh
[Jorn] You beat up against The wind and the flow Concealing your tears With the sweat from your brow No one see´s them They´re next to you Deride them Despite they´re the faithful The only, the true, oh
[Jorn]
Got a navigation map And aspiration If only that good old chart Would show the seas ya gonna sail Run up and down Until you stand to reason Faithfully you break
[Michi] Dreams aligned Stalwartly confined [Tobi] Right on Swaying to the sacred fanfares Don´t you stop to run To the promised land in despair
[Jorn]
Voices screaming:
[Michi & Tobi] Now why don´t you? Why do you slow down? Right on! Don´t speak, don´t wonder! That way! This way! Don´t walk astray! Welcome to the arabesque
[Tobi] Toss and turn all night Got to get it right Is it just a dream Or runaway fantasy? Reverie out of kilter?
[Michi] Got to carry on Go on, play along Don´t you let them drown As they help you drown Your feelings in a philtre
[Tobi] I want the turmoil to go away And slowly I´d trouble no more Like a grain The wild wind blows away From a whispering, blistering shore
If you´d look back at the shore Through my eyes
Having sailed just a mile in my shell
Hold to think And maybe feel what it´s like At the deep and of slightly unwell
[Jorn] Got to carry on Must be going strong Wipe away the tears Put your vizard on Welcome to the creep show
[Jorn & Tobi] Welcome to the freakshow!!!
[Tobi] And I´m dreaming of mother love And colouring outside The lines like a child
Beyond growing up And the pain that goes along with it To escape these confines
[Solo: Sascha Paeth]
[Tobi] Ooooh, no breath for pretence Refuse to make sense
[Michi] Right on Swaying to the sacred fanfares Don´t you stop to run From paradise to despair
[Jorn] Searing voices:
[Jorn & Michi] Now why don´t you? Why do you slow down? Right on! Don´t speak, don´t wonder! That way! This way! Don´t walk astray! Welcome to the arabesque
[Michi] Right on Swaying to the sacred fanfares [Tobi] Don´t you stop to run Right on, right on [Jorn] Through the pain and the fire Through the wind and the rain Walking a long way from home
