[Music by Hansen/Sielck; Words by Hansen]



[OK... We could make up a weird explanation of how the lyrics fit into the concept. Fact is they just don't! But we liked the particular sound of the words so much, that we decided to keep them like this anyway...]



Do you believe in the god with a twisted eye

Do you believe in hell and what's below

Facing the man with the blade and an evil smile

The innocence of madness seems to grow



And now you stand and stare and wonder

Can you believe in what you see

Is there a place beyond the suffering

If not for you, there's one for me



I'm high, I ride on Solar Wings

I'm riding, ohoo

I'm free, I ride on Solar Wings

'cause I'm riding... on... Solar Wings



A hundred years I'm riding on

I've seen the madness down below

A million miles I'm riding strong

My destination is unknown

I'm leaving from insanity

I don't believe in destiny

I'm waiting for my sanctuary

If not for you, there?s one for me



I'm high, I ride on Solar Wings

I'm riding, ohoo

I'm free, I ride on Solar Wings

'cause I'm riding... on... Solar Wings



[Solo]



This is the afterlife, it fills me with desire

I'm riding high, I ride into the fire



I'm high, I ride on Solar Wings

I'm riding, ohoo

I'm free, I ride on Solar Wings

'cause I'm riding... on... Solar Wings





4. I've Been To Hell  



[Music by Eckert/Sielck; Words by Sielck]



[The almost perfect extinction of the human race during the savior-war has pushed the bio-unit to the edge. In deep depression, driven away from home and in the soli-tude of deep space this poor soul has seen Hell...]



I saw my children from up in the sky

Bleeding and sentenced to die

Devastation and Termination

I've been your angel of death

Watching unmoved

I've been awaiting your final breath



Children forgive me

For I've been so wrong

Fate took revenge

On all I have done



I've been to Hell

I've seen the fires burning

Oh, I saw Hell

Demons I heard you calling

So many years I've been out there alone

Broken and scared to the bone

Out in the dark

Sorrow and grief possessed my heart



Out of control 

In this deadly machine

Innocent victims

Are haunting my dreams



I've been to Hell...



Rage

Agony

Endless pain

I'll never be the same



[Solo by Piet]



Castaway

Today

Light years away from home

Blood on my hands

I must redeem

I will repent



No more repoungance between the machine

And my tortured mind

Together we're strong - now we are one

One of a kind



I've been to Hell...



To Hell I have been to pay for my sin

But no more I'll burn - I shall return



Demons of darkness 

You've been calling me

But I'm clear in my mind now

And I'm on my way and I am free
