Where Do We Go
by Alruna
2:37 min.
(English)
Corny Held: vocals, guitar
Axel Wagner: drums
Michael Hrziwnak: bass
lyrics
There are fish in the water & birds in the sky
- why - why -why -
Trees in the forest and time must go by
- why - why - why
But where do we go
There is rain in the air and noone to care
- why - why - why
All the lights are blue and the memories bare
- why - why - why
But tell me: Where do we go
There is hope in the drain & love can’t swim
- why - why - why
Peace in the alley & war in the brain
- why - why - why
& mountains stand or crumble, it’ll all come again
- why - why - why
Where do we go

Differences
by Alruna
4:36 min.
(English)
Corny Held: vocals, a-guitar
Axel Wagner: drums
Michael Hrziwnak: bass
lyrics
There was a palmist laying cards upon the air
and then a storm breathed deep and blew them out nowhere
A box was spilling emptiness around the heated room
A lamp was shining blue and dim and throwing round ist gloom
Some things are leaving and some others, they must stay
How can you know what's going to happen today
Some folks must be here and some others got to go
You never know ....
You think you found someone and the next day he'll be gone
and then again you start to run and feel alone
Nothing's gonna work out well if you need somebody else
Some might be alright, but some should go to hell.
Some folks are leaving and some folks must stay
How can you know what will happen today?
Some got to be here, and some others got to go
You never know ...
Some kids are born into a world of joy and wealth
and there are others who lack toys, and even health
How can you tell them why they don't have what they need
and others die because they have too much to eat
Some folks got all the luck and some folks never live
and fortune scatters seeds, it doesn't plan to give.
it's up to fate what kind of ground you fell upon,
if your hands clutch dirt or love or a silver spoon, II: if you lost or won
There was a war in a country not so far
and the people, they were scared of this ugly, dirty war
Some of them were dying, and some others, they were saved
and for some there was a future and for some there was just hate
Some folks are leaving and some folks must stay
How can you know what's going to happen the next day?
Some got to be there and some others got to go
You never know .....

Alchemist's Blues
by Alruna
5:46 min.
(English)
Corny Held: vocals, a-guitar
Axel Wagner: drums
Michael Hrziwnak: bass
Thomas Bartels:e-guitar
lyrics
There is a potion to make a life good
what does it take, some fun - some food
But life itself is what you should
as well put in anyway
and here's what I say
it will be good
and then you'll need a few more things
the devil's memory and an angels wing
A poem's wisdom & your latest sin
Put in all kinds of mood
and it'll be as good
as it should
Give all that in an earthen pot
and add a wizard's spell
You got to drink it when it's hot
& use the wind to stir it well
Take water from a wishing well
light a fire of whatever you find
- it's up to you now -
A cauldron full of burning hell
and soothe it with your mind
Make sure you got a dragon's heart
a fairy's tale, an actor's part
Your lucky number and a gypsy's rune
and put alruna in
the color of your grin
and autumn moon
Some artificial sort of glue
All of your feelings that are true
You got to wear a magic ring
and add a rainy spring
an ancient word to sing
a newborn tune
Brew all that in an iron pot
and add a wizard's spell
You got to drink it when it's hot
and use a storm to stir it well
Take water from a wishing well
light a fire of whatever you find
A cauldron full of burning hell
and soothe it with your mind

Paradise Birds
by Alruna
3:16 min.
(English)
Corny Held: vocals, a-guitar
Axel Wagner: drums
Michael Hrziwnak: bass
lyrics
No more worries about tomorrow
How much care about the past
All our days - they are just borrowed
And nothing, yes, nothing's going to last
So
Don't you worry - can't you see
Life is just what it will be
But our time is ours forever
And that's eternity
And we are paradise birds - let's fly
Paradise birds (let's fly)
paradise birds - we want to fly
Won't tomorrow come and leave?
Rain my fall or sun may shine
You won't keep the world from turning
All you can change, really change - is your mind
So
Don't you worry - can't you see
Life is just what it will be
But our time is ours forever
And that's eternity
And we are paradise birds - let's fly
Paradise birds - let's fly
paradise birds - we want to fly

Misty Meadow (Alruna-Version)
by Alruna
3:36 min.
(English)
Corny Held: vocals, guitar, flute
Axel Wagner: drums
Michael Hrziwnak: bass
lyrics
When I hear Ihe sound of the falling rain
Glimpse erratic drops on my windowpane
Deep in their little light I see
No peace of mind is inside me
I want to lie down and take rest
I wish there was a place to hide
Why can't there be some fog around me
I want to lie down
I want to lie down on a misty meadow and take some rest
When I find you standing at my door
When I know what you're waiting for
I feel somehow you're never free
& I need time to be with me
I want to lie down, take my time -
I wish there was a place to hide
Why can't there be some fog around me
I want to lie down
I want to lie down on a misty meadow and take some rest
I want to lie down take some rest
I want to lie down out of sight
I want to lie down, take my time -
I want to take my time to live
I want to take my time to love
I want to take my time to think
I want to lie down
I want to lie down on a misty meadow and take some rest

It Don't Matter At All
by Alruna
3:16 min.
(English)
Corny Held: vocals, a-guitar
Axel Wagner: drums
Michael Hrziwnak: bass
Hans Schulz: vocals
lyrics
Down in the brain rests a pain
And I wonder when I feel it again
It feels like rain washing down the drain
But the stains remain & the memories are in vain
It could be for you, it could be untrue
And it couln't be new at all
And it sticks like glue, all the world is blue
It's the kind of brew to drown in
Up in the sky there's a lullaby
And I wonder why it could fly so high
I can hear it cry kind of faint and shy
But as time goes by it remains an alibi.
It could be for joy, it could be a toy
and it couldn't be coy at all
& it seems so far, like a fading star
But it left a scar on daylight
& it don't really matter if you're high or low
if you stay or go, or whatever you know
& it don't really matter, you can drown or be
like the wind so free, or at the bottom of the sea
& it don't really matter, who should care
if you're here or there, or maybe nowhere
& it don't really matter if you rise or fall
if you're tiny or tall, or a concrete wall
or a Barbie-doll, or a poor man's call
it don't matter - at all.
It don't really matter, it don't matter at all

Visions
by Alruna
6:21 min.
(English)
Axel Wagner: drums
Corny Held: vocals, guitars, flute, bass, keyboards
lyrics
Floating
Sometimes I feel like a motherless breeze
-a daffodil seed
-a balloon without ground
-a symphony sound
a long way from home
Visions
Sometimes I look like a flower in the rain
- an idea without aim
-a letter in the wind
-a saint who has sinned
A long way from life
Dreaming
Sometimes I dream of a doublefaced moon
-of a life behind stars
-of voices as bars
A long way from love
a long way from home

It's Hard To Be A Fortune Teller (Bandversion)
by Alruna
3:53 min.
(English)
Corny Held: vocals, a-guitar
Axel Wagner: drums
Michael Hrziwnak: bass
Thomas Bartels:e-guitar
lyrics
Down in the ocean is a little catfish
He used to be my best friend in a childish wish
Up in the sky there is a big fat bird
His wings cast shadows where no sound is heard
Far in the distance is a story book
casting spells oneveryone who doesn't look
On the sand is a castle with a king inside
andhe has forgotten how to kiss his bride
and I got runes in my bag and a crystal ball, you can ask me anything, I will predict it all
But it's up to you if it's coming true - it's your own decision what you're gonna do
I'm a fortune teller and it's hard to be decent in a world which is haunting me
Down in the alley is a sick old man
and he keeps his brain in a frying pan
Floating on the river is a paper boat
It's delivering wisdom to the ones who know
And on top of the mall the witches ride their brooms,
there ain't no more ups and downs and there ain't no doom
A young girl is dancing upon a star
and then she gets run over by a model car
I got runes in my bag and premonition inside and fear is on my shoulder and the light's too bright
I foresee what's gonna happen, but it's up to you, you can believe it ot not, what's true is always true
It's hard to be a fortune teller anyway, your world is haunting me, your value is decay
Merlin's grandson made satellite
which can light the whole world in all parts at night
and now the ravens sing it in their croaking voice:
you must look, you must work, you must, you've got no choice
The children can't write and they can't even speak
and they can only see when they're watching TV
They got a button on their back and a little key
and robots produce them in a factory
I still got runes in my bag and a crystal ball - my cards on the table trying to warn you all
and the nothing in the world is such an awful lot that you ain't really got a thing of those you think you got
I'm a fortune teller and it's hard to be decent in a world which is haunting me
I'm a fortune teller and it's hard to be friendly in your world world because it's haunting me
I'm a fortune teller and it's hard to be - to be in a world which keeps on haunting me
I'm a fortune teller and it's hard to be - your world is haunting me, yeah it keeps haunting me

Lord Of All Bandversion
by Alruna
3:24 min.
(English)
Corny Held: vocals, guitar
Axel Wagner: drums
Michael Hrziwnak: bass
lyrics
There's fall outside and fall in me
and fall is on the windowpane
The storm's getting cold, the clouds look bold
the sun tries lighting life in vain
A little candle's burning tall
and flickers shadows upon the wall
No, life, I own no peace in fall
for love is lord of all
and often when our music plays
I feel the moon like spotlight shine
Reflecting the challenge of those days
when your life was a part of mine
I hear a whisper in the fire
the voice of wisdom is nice and calm
We had it all, despair and desire
and life is really lord of all

No-one
by Alruna
4:36 min.
(English)
Corny Held: vocals
Axel Wagner: drums
Michael Hrziwnak: bass
lyrics
When you think there's someone who turns dirt into gold
When you think he's able to make youth out of mould
You'd better watch your feelings he will maybe want to share
Starlight clone can't be his real shape, and he might not really care
and then
there's no-one, no-one there
- no-one at all
If he fails there is no-one, there may be no-one, maybe there's no-one
that you can lean on when you fall
There's maybe no-one, he may be no-one, there ain't just noone
that you can lean on - at all
If you believe in someone all dressed up like a king
If you're dazzled by his wit, & admire his diamond ring
He could turn invisible when he ain't got nothing to wear
And his colors melt in daylight, it's good if you don't really care
Cause
He will be no more there -it's really no-one there - no-one at all
In his robe is maybe no-one, there may be no-one, in there is no-one
that you can lean on when you fall
There's maybe no-one, he may be no-one, there ain't just noone
that you can lean on - at all
When I met him first time I thought I found it all
And he promised he would come whenever I would call
Sounded good, but he didn't mean it, like all the big talkers everywhere
I'm a woman, I can feel it that he doesn't really care
And he was just another no-one
I couln't lean on, when I fall -
he was Ijust another no-one
I couln't lean on - at all

Think!
by Alruna
13:13 min.
(English)
Corny Held: vocals, a-guitar
Axel Wagner: drums
Michael Hrziwnak: bass
Thomas Bartels:e-guitar
lyrics
(Info: The song is over 13 minutes long and contains three long soli, which were shortened for the demo-clip.)
(Info: Der Song ist über 13 min lang und enthält 3 lange Soli, Demo-Clip stark gekürzt.)
I don't know what I love
But I know what I hate
It's never too early
And never too late
To think about what to think
Think about what to think
You want much money?
I don't want that
You like having big dinners
It'll make you too fat
You want a new car?
Can't be important
You like travelling far?
Don't think that's what I want.
You want to be rich?
It's not what I wait for
You like to be lazy?
Can't be what I work for
You want a big house?
I don't need that
You'd like to raise a bunch of kids?
It might not be too bad.
You want a color TV?
Doesn't mean a thing to me
You like buying things?
Can't satify me
You want to call them your own?
No point I can see
You like sitting at home?
I don't think you are free
You want to be happy?
I don't think you know the way
You like to believe
what the others say
You want confidence
But it doesn't make sense
Cause you cannot rely
on yourself nor your friends
You say you want life
You don't know what it means
You say you want love
but don't mnow what it is
You like echoing things
which you have been told
You imagine feelins
but your heart is so cold
You say you want rights
I wonder why
You say you want a future
It'll soon be gone by
You like being good
I'm not in the right mood
You want to buy safety
the same way you buy food
