Changes (Part 1: Sign of Heaven)

---

I've been waiting for an invitation
couldn't leave my selfmade reservation
I had locked the doors and threw the key away

There was nothing but my own reflection
and the phone was silent, no connection
I was turning just in circles with no end

All that I had, it was gone, it was dead
But now my night is surrounded by light
This nust be a sign of heaven, a sign of heaven
the nightmare's over

As the winter left the frozen places
and the mirror smiled at lonely face
The my leaves they started slowly reached out

Now your laughter echoes in the silence
and your waters wash the dirt from my hands
as we harvest all the fruits that come our way

All that I had, it was gone, it was dead
But now my night is surrounded by light
This nust be a sign of heaven, a sign of heaven
the nightmare's over

There was nothing but my own reflection
I was turning just in circles with no end...

Changes (Part 2: Incomplete)

---

Here I am, still I try to find
out where I'm really now.
What has been I have laid it
down forgotten on a shelf.

An old pair of shoes I've grown out,
there is never enough to take when
you're running away from emptiness.

My days seem like wasted, I'm incomplete,
I'm grieving, believe in the change in me.
I'm lost, alone and incomplete!

Now you're gone and I send my
spirit out to wander all the time.
And my flesh, it is waiting for a
time to be released.

All in one's hand, a touch at least.
Confusion, nothing real, I'm lost without,
I feel I'm almost gone.

My days seem like wasted, I'm incomplete,
I'm grieving, believe in the change in me.
I'm lost, alone and incomplete!

Changes (Part 3: Turn the Page)

---

Time will come when you fell down
Everything you had is gone
and whatever you had thought you'd really need
is meaningless, you turn around
caught by light a distant sound
like a creature that is drawn into the flame

Turn the page and face another day
on that stage that you're supposed to stay
Turn tha page and fill it up with life
I won't sigh when time will turn the page

You're alone during the stay
Company can share your way
but they'll never ever make it really close
to the core, to the beyond
What's in store on from this point
will surprisingly be scaring joyful pain

Turn the page and face another day
Take your time cause something's on the way
Turn the page and fill it up with life
And don't sigh when time will turn the page

On these tracks we walk, we've got a choice
Be aware. I'll be your voice...

Time will come you're down
Everything you had is gone
And whatever you had thought you'd really need
is meaningless, you turn around
caught by light a distant sound
like a creature that is drawn into the flame

Turn the page and face another day
on that stage that you're supposed to stay
Turn tha page and fill it up with life
I won't sigh when time will turn the page

Την άνοιξη του 1998 οι Rage κυκλοφόρησαν τον δίσκο "XIII". Ήταν η δεύτερη απόπειρα της Γερμανικής μπάντας με ορχήστρα, με την διαφορά ότι το "Lingua Mortis" αφορούσε παλαιότερα τραγούδια των Rage επανεκτελεσμένα μαζί με την ορχήστρα, ενώ στο "XIII" υπάρχει νέο υλικό. Ανάμεσά τους και η τριλογία "Changes", την οποία το Γερμανικό συγκρότημα απέδωσε "ζωντανά" (μαζί με ορχήστρα) στο προπέρσινο Wacken Open Air. Απολαύστε το...
