seegurke Thanks a lot Justin and CBP. I find your art (music) is transcending. It often helps me to transcend the material world. Some tracks, Not only on this album, also on the others are so outstanding, so very amazing that there is nothing comparable!
Absolute favorite is HOLD ON and HOUSE OF FOOLS and -from this Album GREAT ESCAPE I. But lots more are just amazing: We forgotten who we are, rise up and fight, Burnt reynolds, only to name a few. So please keep on this amazing work. You bring light. Favorite track: Great Escape (pt I).

To You I Give Something I need to say. Before we carry on. We'll make it right, the world will still be here tomorrow No need to cry, fear is something we can conquer. Take it easy on me, let it go for a while. We're right on time to rise through it all. We'll make it right, the world will still be here tomorrow No need to cry, fear is something we can conquer. We've got nothing but time, tell me what's on your mind, I'll take your hand and lead you through it all. We'll make it right, the world will still be here tomorrow No need to cry, fear is something we can conquer. Something I need to say Before we carry on There's something in the way We got it all so wrong Something I need to say Before we carry on

Madman 04:50
Madman You think i'm fire Get ready to burn Cuz nowhere's far enough for you to get going I'm going crazy, well Someone please send help! You think it's easy don't you Well say what you want There's no compromise Now you got that look of disdain Like it's all supposed to change But, can't say it enough Someone get me out Someone get me out Someone get me outtta this place There's, no time to waste Just, make it quick I'm just a man I ain't got no grand plan So please Someone get me out Someone get me out Before i burn it all down

Times They Are A' Raging Maybe we will realise, Maybe it's a compromise. We've had enough, Free us from the Violence. Doesn't matter what side you're on, we all bleed just the same you know, It doesn't get any easier. We've had enough, Save us from the tyrants Oh the world is waking Oh the times are raging In all this confusion, we're running blind Destroy the illusion, to free your mind Destroy the illusion. Destroy the illusion.

Rain Black, Reign Heavy Faded memories become vivid again, if the floodgates open will it ever end, how many times do i have to die, to be reminded after dark cometh the light. In the hollows I see how this will end, I find it hard not to go over the edge. Damn the dark praise the light, I choose to bleed, I choose life, I choose to live, I choose to fight. We’ll meet in the hollows… in the hollows. Life, i choose life. Rain black, reign heavy, I can’t deny life. Rain black reign heavy.

Nebulas 05:34
Nebulas Sorry for the fools who say that an animal can’t understand or feel in any way, sorry their blood runs so cold, sorry they have no heart no soul. Sorry for all of your pain, sorry for everything you have to face, sorry i can’t do enough, I’m so sorry they don’t know love. I arm myself with different shades. I harm myself I’m loosing faith. I arm myself with the taste of hope. A new beginning a new dawn. The bridge we built will one day fall, I can’t take it no more, I see their fate when i close my eyes, I hear their cries all threw the night. I wish i could take you all in my arms, take you away where they’ll will do you no harm. The guilt i feel that i can’t do more, I’m sorry so sorry. I want to give you a loving home, into the light out of the cold. The guilt i feel that i can’t do more, I’m sorry so sorry. So sorry.

Las Diabolicas The clouds are hanging low, deep down below We're gonna push you down into a hole. We are the cavalry. We ride. We are the darkness. In your mind. And you will never find a place to hide, the walls are closing in on you tonight The bullets hailing down. You're on the run. We're gonna hunt you down. Retaliate. We are the air you breathe, Inhale. We are the burning blight, Ignite. And you will never find a place to hide The walls are closing in on you tonight And you will never find a place to hide The walls are closing in on you tonight

Great Escape pt I There's another place A road less taken Much too far I forgot my fate The sound of waves Rush over me Don´t wait for me There's another world Breaking through Beyond the vail I forgot my sins The sound of wind In my wings I forgot my rage The great escape within Don´t wait for me I'll disappear There's a place i'm calling Where the days are longer Where the dark won't find me Where the dark won't find me Everything inside pulling me so far away, Everything you want, time will save us now Falling through the atmosphere, We are, Loosing everything. Goodbye friends, And farewell.

Great Escape pt II Mind rewind Euphoria Fields of silver light Come Raining down Raining down Razing through the sky Crushing everything beneath my feet Driving this insanity away I just wanna fly So i can breathe Sink into the everlasting dream Even if i survive To erase it all I'll find my way there I'll find my way there So long to myself again I drift further away Break out of my mind
