(For some orientation: The Lyrics are a dialogue between two parties)

Fly high above us
Above the air and sound
Tell us what you find there
A million feets from the ground

Can you see the things we hope for
The things that make us feel so safe
Or the things that we‘re scared of
the things that we can not explain

You all disappear from the sight
All thats left is dark and light
A glowing rash on earths‘ skin
Nothing else

Tell us what you see there
Are our questions answered
Please tell us there is a meaning
And our prayers are not unheard

Can you see the heavens gates
and the path to paradise
Can you peek behind the curtain
Of the dark and starry sky

All I see is what we we are
dust and ashes from the stars
A glowing rash on earths‘ skin
Nothing else

If youre feeling lost and alone
You better start a life of your own
Up here theres only emptiness that listens
Nothing else

Bring us the truth and spare us from your lies
Be His prophet and speak the word into our minds

Bring us enlightenment and deliver us from doubt
Bring us His commandments to show what faith is all about

Bring His law and order, raise your fist to the sky and yell
The good ones go to heaven and the wicked burn in hell!

Come down off your throne
Step out from the dust
Into the daylight

Drop your crown away and take defeat
Make a cut your hand and let it bleed
In all your peoples sight

My fate is to belong
to the desert I rule
My fate is a falling throne

Sing out loud the freedom song
People you are free to go
Into the daylight

Leave this place to its despair
run like wild and breath the air
of the new born world

Their fate is to belong
to the desert I rule
Their fate is my falling throne

Your faith is my throne

Hey Mr. carpenter guess my name
I am a loser in your game
My tries to succeed were disqualified
for not being born on the winning side

What is the sin that made me earn my loss?
Was it the one that you suffered for me on the cross?
You threw me here with an empty hand
Because of your grace, I am, what I am

show your grace, keep your word, show your grace

Hey Mr. carpenter guess my name
I am a soldier in your game
the rules are simple, bow and obey
fight for an unknown cause every day

Why should abstain from use of violence?
Why should I deny the reason of my existence?
You threw me here and spilled blood on my hands
Because of your grace, I am, what I am

Come on, keep your word and return
Come on, come on
Give us the grace that we deserve

Hey Mr. carpenter guess my name
I am a winner in your game
The rules are simple, crush and devour
strike first and strike with all your power

Why should I share my wealth and welfare?
Why would I give and pretend that i care?
You made the rules, not me goddamn!
Because of your grace, I am, what I am

show your grace, keep your word, keep your word

Come on, keep your word and return
Come on, come on
Give us the grace that we deserve

I am a preacher waiting for the end
I seek to cure the ones who pretend
that they have the power to give
their lives a meaning, a reason to live

Bury your childish dreams
and turn your ears to me
listen to my melody

Close your eyes and cease to try
gnash your teeth and hope to die
The day of reckoning is near
your wealth will turn into despair

Libera me Domine
Veniat dies irae
I believed in every word
with the saddest melody on earth

Now I’m an old man, struggling with my past
old enough to end my song, and breath my last
Was I a good soldier? Did I serve my time well?
Did I save many souls from the torments of hell?

Or did I live in vain,
preaching just grief and pain,
brought by the day that never came?

Close your eyes and cease to try
gnash your teeth and hope to die
The day of reckoning is near
your wealth will turn into despair

Libera me Domine
Veniat dies irae
I curse the day that I heard
The saddest melody on earth

Fear has been my guide
till the autumn of my life
and when I realized the wasted years
I bowed my head and burst to tears

And as the teardrops hit the ground
I heard them make a quiet sound
They fell down into the dirt
and played the saddest melody on earth

Libera me Domine
Veniat dies irae

It was the last time that I heard
The saddest melody on earth
