Einladung zum ball (Invitation to the ball)
MUSIC:
Jim Steinman - LYRICS:
Michael Kunze |
Von Krolock:
For all the years I was just presentiment for you
Now you're searching for me
And feel longing for me
Be happy!
We won't be held apart much longer
When I call you
Nothing will hold you back
Driven by dreams
And hungry for luck
Vampires:
Be prepared! Be prepared!
Be prepared! Be prepared!
Von Krolock:
God is dead
For him is no longer being searched
We're dammed to live forever
It pulls us
Nearer to the sun
But we fear the light
We just believe in lies
Despise renunciation
What we don't hate
We don't either love
What I save will die
What I bless has to spoil
Just my poison can heal you
To live you gotta die
Follow me into the abyss of the night
And yourself in me. We'll go
To the end of eternity
I'll cover you with my shadow
Sarah:
I hear a voice that's calling out for me
Von Krolock:
Be happy!
We won't be held apart much longer
When I call you
Nothing will hold you back
Driven by dreams
And hungry for luck
Reprise GOTT IST TOT
God is dead
For him is no longer being searched
We're dammed to live forever
It pulls us
Nearer to the sun
But we fear the light
We just belive in lies
Despise renunciation
What we don't hate
We don't either love
Einladung zum Ball - invitation to the ball (Text like it REALLY is on the CD)
Von Krolock
Or do you prefer
That it'll remain the way its now
Do you think that would be enough?
I know you think that is not enough
Do you prefer praying
Until your old and bitter
Do you think that would be enough?
I know you think that is not enough
We warned you
About sin and danger
But you have always suspected
That their security
Was just a lie
It was all just a lie
What they promised you
Everyone betrayed you
When they gave you their bribes
But I'll give you what you miss:
A journey on the wings of the night
Into the true reality
Into the drunkeness of the darkness
Get your heart ready
I invite you to the midnight ball
Tanzsaal (Dance hall)
Von Krolock:
Be welcomed brothers
In this hall
When we were together the last time
Our meal was a peasent
Thin and pale
You were angry
But I said:
"Is one year poor,
The next one will be rich."
We, who live forever,
always need more and more flesh blood
But will it ever be enough?
Vampires:
No, it will never be enough!
Von Krolock:
With every victim that feeds us,
our group grows
But will it ever be enough?
Vampires:
No, it'll never be enough!
Nothing satisfies us
The greed never rests!
Because the emptiness inside us grows day by day
The fear of being sober follows us every day
Von Krolock:
But I telly you there's hope!
As I told you
A guest just came around
And is no prepared
To discover the darkness
A beauty with the eyes of the night
An enchanted Star-Child
Tender like the wind
And prepared for me
Will enchant our midnight ball
But she just belongs to me
Don't panic, I also thought about you!
And since last night there are
Her in my labyrinth
And destined for you
Two mortals damned to stay
Damned!
