IMMIGRATION
Cutting through the waves of fate
The old world left behind
The prospect makes the porters weight
A better place to find
The clarifying showed denying
But hope was settled there
A father dying - a mother crying
A taking-care-of her
Deep in your heart
There burns a fire
Making your dreams
Never forget
Escape penury
Going away
Across the sea
Finding the last resort
Out in the cold
Left on your own
Memories sold
Play the believer no more
Out on the streets and filthy ways
The city never stilled
By little stealing spending days
To keep the bellies filled
One precious thing to give away
And get a pointing hand
The triteness of the layman's play
Bursts solid rocks to sand
Deep in your heart
There burns a fire
Making your dreams
Never forget
Escape penury
Going away
Across the sea
Finding the last resort
Out in the cold
Left on your own
Memories sold
Play the believer no more

I AM MAGIC
Now you have come here
To start out something new
First it is hidden
Then it comes shining through
Say, can you see it
There is a fragile flame
One day being laughed at
Another day called fame
Are you believing
That you can make it there
Flying above all
Just like the prince of the air
Stand still dear pedestrian
And if you like the stories told
Drop change for the messenger
Singing jingles in the cold
Destiny - rain on me
Do you really want to change your life
Leaving everything you've done behind
Twist of fate to be the cutting knife
That separates the man's eye from his mind
I can - I breathe
I am magic
Running in circles
A champion on his trail
Fists flying fiery
The hammer on the nail
Handcuffs never held it
The curtained face unseen
Baptized in the name of
Upright Keller and Eugene
Deep down in the ashes
Is where to find the truth
To keep the wheels spinning
Spreading news and shining shoes
Just keep on believing
In everything you do
The feat of extrication
Will change all eyebrow-raisers view
Destiny - rain on me
Do you really want to change your life
Leaving everything you've done behind
Twist of fate to be the cutting knife
That separates the man's eye from his mind
I can - I breathe
I am magic

FAR AWAY FROM LIGHT
What are all the colours worth when all you see is black and white
A trail through darkened haze where even (the) sun won’t end the night
Oh brother, shift my history - an entity in vain
The floral sister's mystery has filled my heart with craving
As flowers yearn for rain
I am a giant on his knees - raised from his binding stone
Through reveries and tragedies my heart shall be your home
As long as warm blood fills these veins I’ll never let you go
Although I move on shadow lanes you light my way through darkness
I really hope you know
Under dark clouds, I have never seen a sky so blue
Until I found the greatest magic here in you
And if your love was poison, I would drink it like the sweetest wine
To lie here dying in your arms tonight
Under the stars of fortune shining bright
Far away from light
We are building worlds from bursting bubbles - nothing is like it seems
Searing disbeliefs to rubble - materializing dreams
This is our kingdom never seen - forever it shall be
For I’m the king and you’re my queen not for some days but for all
For all eternity
Under dark clouds, I have never seen a sky so blue
Until I found the greatest magic here in you
And if your love was poison, I would drink it like the sweetest wine
To lie here dying in your arms tonight
Under the stars of fortune shining bright
Far away from light
SOLO
Under dark clouds, I have never seen a sky so blue
Until I found the greatest magic here in you
And if your love was poison, I would drink it like the sweetest wine
To lie here dying in your arms tonight
Under the stars of fortune shining bright
Far away from light

METAMORPHOSIS
Sometimes it's just veneration
Sometimes they might call you maniac
When you push it to the limits
With tight-fastened hands behind your back
One last glance then slowly get down
In the trunk inside a knotted sack
Locked and strapped and finally pushed
Right behind a mystic curtain black
Holding out for a sign
Until three claps will end waiting time ...
Metamorphosis
The inchworm turns to (a) butterfly
Exchanging places
Performed in the blink of an eye
After light comes sudden silence
Boxed in chains your only help is you
With a hundred eyes there waiting
Standing up to get the perfect view
Secret doors and hidden switches
Making an illusive dream come true
Just three seconds later smiling
To a confused audience subdued
Holding out for a sign
Until three claps will end waiting time ...
Metamorphosis
The inchworm turns to (a) butterfly
Exchanging places
Performed in the blink of an eye
Metamorphosis
The audience's mind torn apart
No one would notice
This clandestine art ...

VAUDEVILLE
You know it is true
Once in a lifetime
Bright eyes will find you
Your passion declared sublime
Out on a trail
Heading into unknown
Waters you sail
Solitary left on your own
Under chandeliers
Endowed with cheers
To the top
Dreams fulfill
Rising up in Vaudeville
Nail the course
Getting skill
From town to town with Vaudeville
Variety nights
Conquering hearts
In bare persuasion-fights
By means of illusive arts
Finally found
High-flying glory
Straight up from the ground
No mere bedtime story
Under chandeliers
Endowed with cheers
To the top
Dreams fulfill
Rising up in Vaudeville
Nail the course
Getting skill
From town to town with Vaudeville

MILK CAN ESCAPE
Noises from the crowd
Blood is pumping loud
Just a blink 'til the grand drape will fall
Wrecked with tension sweet
Creepy-crawly feet
Going through this you stare at the wall
Welcome says the muse
Now take off your shoes
Just volition and courage prevail
Undressed standing tall
Right in front of all
Who have come here to witness you fail
All of the doubts sown in your mind you have deleted
For many years you have been working for this all day and night
Now is the time to get this mystery repeated
In the stagelight
With heavy footsteps and a stern face you're approaching
The gleaming metal beast has eaten up your soul way before
It won't protect you from the stabbing eyes encroaching
Linger no more
This is a test of will
A daring challenge of your fate
A lifelight for a thrill
Milk can escape
Only the brave will do
The reckless moves deliberate
The one and only true
Milk can escape
Water rushes up
Straight over the top
Your provision is your last deep breath
Caged with silent gloom
In this iron tomb
Find your way between glory and death
You are surrounded by the voices of your self-doubt
As every further fettered move you make disperses the air
It's more the inner chains that do slow down your breakout
Can't go anywhere
A frantic interplay between belief and despair
The 3.56 a countdown throbbing in your thoughts loud
Finally standing dripping wet with open locks there
Hailed by the crowd
This is a test of will
A daring challenge of your fate
A lifelight for a thrill
Milk can escape
Only the brave will do
The reckless moves deliberate
The one and only true
Milk can escape

HOW I CONQUERED THE EAST
Back in the place where all started
Entering unknown territory
Keen and precariously hearted
Harvesting brisk euphory
Getting around
There from town to town
Keep on moving on
Callings track
Cased in din
From the train's engine
With the western wind
In your back
From London to Moscow and back in the saddle
The urge and the will to move on never settle
Light up a spark in the old shadows bequeathed
A dream to believe in so that's how I conquered the east
Here's to the movement begetting
Here's to the one handcuff-king
The fever that you have been setting
Left fire fed with gasoline
Dressed in black
Chains around your neck
Takin' any flack
With a smile
Standing strong
As trees move along
To the motor's song
Mile on mile
From London to Moscow and back in the saddle
The urge and the will to move on never settle
Light up a spark in the old shadows bequeathed
A dream to believe in so that's how I conquered the east

MARGIE BOX
Dampen the light
Welcome the shadows
When she enters the room
Like a black swan
Dressed in a kimono's breath
The dead of the night
Out of the darkness
They will talk to you soon
Let the seance begin
To overcome death
Conscience - it fades
As tables dance
Talking in transcendent tongues
With covered mouth
Under the force of the dead
Perception shades
With a dark glance
Floating up enlightment's rungs
Closing her eyes
Devoutly lifting her head
Messages through death's embrace
Uncharted paradox
Prove yourself and find your place
In the Margie Box
Now ...
Cloaked by the dark
Held by her hand
She knows how to run the show
Catching the eye
Pulling concealed strings unseen
First there's a spark
Then there's a flame
Thinning out spiritualist's row
Ten thousand bucks
Never been paid for that scene
Messages through death's embrace
Uncharted paradox
Prove yourself and find your place
In the Margie Box
Now ...

DEATH PUNCH
Knock, knock - being blamed deceiving
A white head asks for your believing
Get in - may the sceptic enter
Get down in front of your tormentor
Feel the blow - blow - blow ... blow
Cold blind-sided
(In) spite the pain the show goes on
Cannot leave the things undone
There's nowhere to hide when your providence once calls
As the fever's rising high
Never thought that you could die
For the world will mourn as the final curtain falls
Act 1 - first you try to make it
Act 2 - you still fail to fake it
Act 3 - scene of the interceptor
A death punch heralds the final chapter
Feel the blow - blow - blow ... blow
Cold blind-sided
(In) spite the pain the show goes on
Cannot leave the things undone
There's nowhere to hide when your providence once calls
When your conscience plays with fear
Feel the lurking fire near
Hear your inner me play an unmerciful waltz
As the fever's rising high
Never thought that you could die
For the world will mourn as the final curtain falls

ROSABELLE BELIEVE
Made the bed again where you died
Cannot get your words out of my head - I cried
With memories on my mind
Sitting here in circles all night
Holding stranger's hands with tear-dimmed eyes in candlelight
Waiting for a sign ...
Waiting for a sign to find
Calling back the love of my life to remind
Holding on for ten years to just hear one line
Rosabelle believe
Why won't you hear my calls
Rosabelle believe
Nevermind their doubts - I defy
As I promised until 36 I'd give (it) a try
Then I'd say goodbye ...
Then I say goodbye through the haze
Of the beyond you will be for always
Living in my heart till the end of my days
Rosabelle believe
Why won't you hear my calls
Rosabelle believe
Can't you break through death's walls
Rosabelle believe
Rosabelle believe
Then I say goodbye through the haze
Of the beyond you will be for always
Living in my heart till the end of my days
Rosabelle believe
Why won't you hear my calls
Rosabelle believe
Can't you break through death's walls
Rosabelle believe
Rosabelle believe
Rosabelle believe
Rosabelle believe

ROSIE, SWEET ROSABEL
Rosie, sweet Rosabel
I love you more than I can tell
Over me
she casts a spell
My charming black eyed sweet Rosabel
Rosie, sweet Rosabel
I love you more than I can tell
Over me
she casts a spell
My charming black eyed sweet Rosabel
There is a maiden, sweet Rosabel
The fairest of all that I know
All the beauties of heaven
And the riches here below
Cannot compare with this innocent
Angel of whom I shall tell
This is the tale of my first love
Sweet Rosabel
Rosie, sweet Rosabel
I love you more than I can tell

THE INNER ME Austria
THE INNER ME from Laa an
der Thaya in Lower Austria present themselves as a project of the heart
of
their guitarist and producer Reinhard "Kotza" Müller reflecting his thirty years of enthusiasm for hard
sounds.
With David Stawa (vocals) and Daniel Tallamassl (bass), two perfect comrades-in-arms were soon
found. And that together with a euphoric and steadily growing fan base.
