Will you join me, join me, join me Will you join me, join me, join me
Will you join me, join me,
join me We are so young our lives have just begun but already we are considering escape from this world and we've waited for so long for this moment to come was so anxious to be together
together in death Won't you die tonight for love Will you join me in death Won't you die Will you join me in death Won't you die tonight for love Will you join me in death
Join me in death This world is a cruel place and we're here only to lose so before life tears us apart let
death bless me with you Won't you die tonight for love Will you join me in death Won't you die Will you join me in death Won't you die tonight for love Will you join me in death
Join me in death This live ain't worth living This live ain't worth living This live ain't worth living Join me, join me
This live ain't worth
living Won't you die tonight for love Will you join me in death Won't you die Will you join me in death Won't you die tonight for love Will you join me in death Join me in death |

My Imagination
written by: lyrics: Hilbert, Hirschburger music: Brightman, Hilbert, Hirschburger
"was recorded about 3 years ago before we started to record HAREM"
Don't keep me waiting with
my imagination
As the darkness turns to
light I wake from dreaming,
Don't keep me waiting with
my imagination,
When you're lost and all
alone I share your feeling,
Don't keep me waiting with
my imagination,
Don't keep me waiting
Don't keep me waiting with
my imagination,
Don't keep me waiting |

Choir:
In this proud land we grew up strong We
were wanted all along I was taught to fight, taught to win I never
thought I could fail No fight left or so it seems I am a man whose dreams have all deserted I've changed my face, I've changed my name But no-one wants you when you lose Sarah:
Don't give up 'Cause you have friends
Don't give up You're not beaten yet Don't give up I know you can
make it good Choir:
Though I saw it all around Never
thought that I could be affected Thought that we'd be last to go
It is so strange the way things turn
Drove the night toward my home The
place that I was born, on the lakeside As daylight broke, I saw the
earth The trees had burned down to the ground Sarah:
Don't give up You still have us
Don't give up We don't need much of anything Don't give up
'Cause somewhere there's a place Where we belong Rest your head You worry too much It's going to be alright When times get rough You can fall back on us Don't give up Please don't give up Choir: Got to walk out of here I can't take any more Going to stand on that bridge Keep my eyes down below Whatever may come And whatever may go That river's flowing That river's flowing Moved on to another town Tried hard to settle down For every job, so many men So many men no-one needs Sarah: Don't give up 'Cause you have friends Don't give up You're not the only one Don't give up No reason to be ashamed Don't give up You still have us Don't give up now We're proud of who you are Don't give up You know its never been easy Don't give up 'Cause I believe there's a place There's a place where we belong |

The wounds on your hands never seem to heal I thought all I needed was to believe Here am I, a lifetime away from you The blood of Christ, or the beat of my heart My love wears forbidden colours My life believes Senseless years thunder by Millions are willing to give their lives for you Does nothing live on? Learning to cope with feelings aroused in me My hands in the soil, buried inside of myself My love wears forbidden colours My life believes in you once again I'll go walking in circles While doubting the very ground beneath me Trying to show unquestioning faith in everything Here am I, a lifetime away from you The blood of Christ, or a change of heart My love wears forbidden colours My life believes My love wears forbidden colours My life believes in you once again |

The Smile
written by von Deylen "is one of the two songs that I recorded with the German dance/chill out act Schiller that was included on their album "Leben"
|
|
|
|
There is a smile A smile upon your face I wonder why
Why you're full of grace There was a time My feeling was replaced I wanna hide Hide in your embrace...

Pay No Mind
written by lyrics: Kim Sanders
music: Peter Gräber, Nino Tielman, Kim Sanders "was one of the first dance tracks I recorded after "Starship Trooper" It was meant to be included on the EDEN album but we opted against it at that time. Our friend Perplexer finished it for this album."
originally performed by Culture Beat

Culture Beat's Version
|
I used to believe in something I thought it was me and you that we could fulfill a lifetime and live as lovers do
I was wrong I'll pay no mind I'm leaving it all behind I won't ask you what you feel no more I won't ask you what you feel no more I'll just pay no mind I'm letting it go this time 'cause I realize I've come so far if I start to wonder where you are
I'll just pay no mind The first couple steps were fragile till I got on my feet felt I was walking sideways looking for my release lovers come and they go when they leave
you'll all ever know Lovers come and they go when they leave you'll all ever know instead of a review
tell you what I'll do I'll pay no mind I'm leaving it all behind I won't ask you what you feel no more I won't ask you what you feel no more I'll just pay no mind I'm letting it go this time 'cause I realize I've come so far if I start to wonder where you are
I'll just pay no mind I'm still writing love songs 'bout something that's passed me by I know that I'm stronger you think that's a lie
but you're wrong I'll pay no mind I'm leaving it all behind I won't ask you what you feel no more I won't ask you what you feel no more I'll just pay no mind I'm letting it go this time 'cause I realize I've come so far if I start to wonder where you are I'll just pay no mind |

A QUESTION OF HONOUR
Written by Peterson
"is a very rare extended version from
the first single release of this song. A later version of this piece got
reissued with a new mix and it finally became a big hit in Germany." This song was a regular concert piece - an encore at the end of Sarah's concerts. (now Running has taken over this role)
This song has been covered by Brazilian
star Liriel Domiciano and Danillu
QOH has also been released as 3
different singles and a video appears of the Diva Video Collection. |

Liriel Domiciano's version

Ebbene. N'andrò lontana, come va l'eco della pia campana, là, fra la neve bianca là, fra le nubi d'or; là, dov'è la speranza, la speranza
il rimpianto, il rimpianto, e
il dolor If you win or you loose, It's a question of Honour. And the way that you choose. It's a question of honour. I can't tell what's wrong or right If black is white or day is night But I know when two men collide It's a question of honour If you win or you loose, It's a question of Honour. And the way that you choose. It's a question of honour. If you win or you loose, It's a question of Honour. And the way that you choose. It's a question of honour. I can't tell what's wrong or right If black is white or day is night But I know when two men collide
It's a question of honour N'andrò sola e lontana, come l'eco della pia campana, là, fra la neve bianca; n'andrò, n'andrò sola e lontana e fra le nubi d'or |

Au dessus des vieux volcans, Glisse des ailes Sous les tapis du vent, Voyage, voyage, Éternellement. De nuages en marécages, De vent d'Espagne en pluie d'équateur, Voyage, voyage, Vole dans les hauteurs Au dessus des capitales, Des idées fatales,
Regarde l'océan... Voyage, voyage Plus loin que la nuit et le jour, (Voyage, voyage) Voyage (voyage) Dans l'espace inouï de l'amour. Voyage, voyage Sur l'eau sacrée d'un fleuve indien, (Voyage, voyage) Voyage (voyage)
Et jamais ne revient. Sur le Gange ou l'Amazone, Chez les blacks, chez les sikhs, Chez les jaunes, Voyage, voyage Dans tout le royaume. Sur les dunes du Sahara, Des îles Fidji au Fujiyama, Voyage, voyage, Ne t'arrêtes pas. Au dessus des barbelés, Des coeurs bombardés,
Regarde l'océan. Voyage, voyage Plus loin que la nuit et le jour, (Voyage, voyage) Voyage (voyage) Dans l'espace inouï de l'amour. Voyage, voyage Sur l'eau sacrée d'un fleuve indien, (Voyage, voyage) Voyage (voyage)
Et jamais ne revient Voyage, voyage Plus loin que la nuit et le jour, (Voyage, voyage) Voyage (voyage) Dans l'espace inouî de l'amour. Voyage, voyage Sur l'eau sacrée d'un fleuve indien, (Voyage, voyage) Voyage (voyage)
Et jamais ne revient Plus loin que la nuit et le jour (Voyage, voyage) |
On top of the old volcanos, Slip of the wings Under the carpets of the wind, Journey, journey, Eternally. Clouds in marshes, Of wind of Spain in rain of equator, Journey, journey, Fly in the heights On top of the capitals, Fatal ideas,
Look at the ocean... Journey, journey Further that the night and the day, (Journey, journey) Journey (journey) In the space of the love. Journey, journey On the crowned water of an Indian river, (Journey, journey) Journey (journey)
And never does not return. On Ganges or the Amazon, At the blacks, the sikhs, At the yellows, Journey, journey In all the kingdom. On the dunes of the Sahara, Fiji islands in Fujiyama, Journey, journey, Do not stop you. With the top of the barbed wires, Bombarded hearts,
Look at the ocean. Journey, journey Further that the night and the day, (Journey, journey) Journey (journey) In the space of the love. Journey, journey On the crowned water of an Indian river, (Journey, journey) Journey (journey)
And never does not return. Journey, journey Further that the night and the day, (Journey, journey) Journey (journey) In the space of the love. Journey, journey On the crowned water of an Indian river, (Journey, journey) Journey (journey)
And never does not return. Further that the night and the day (Journey, journey) |

The Colours of the
Rainbow
Written by Hilbert, Hirschburger music:
Brightman, Hilbert, Hirschburger "is another song that was amongst the first drafts for HAREM. We decided against it as it seemed a bit too simple."
The colours of the rainbow will show the world to you,
the colours of the rainbow are
fading into blue Losing the future, and the colours of the rainbow You shouldn't keep it secret, just wear your inside out.
You can trust me, I'll take
you to the field of dreams. The colours of the rainbow will show the world to you, the colours of the rainbow are fading into blue. The colours of the rainbow, promise what you want to do,
the colours of the rainbow,
they all belong to you. Lie across the flowers and everybody smiles at you
Drifting past the hours
drowning in big blue
You can trust me, it's always
gonna feel like this. The colours of the rainbow will show the world to you, the colours of the rainbow are fading into blue. The colours of the rainbow, promise what you want to do,
the colours of the rainbow,
they all belong to you. One world, one life in the colours of the rainbow.
One world, one time in the
colours of the rainbow. The colours of the rainbow will show the world to you,
the colours of the rainbow,
they all belong to you. One world, one life in the colours of the rainbow. One world, one time in the colours of the rainbow. One world, one life in the colours of the rainbow.
One world, one time in the
colours of the rainbow. The rainbow The rainbow The rainbow The rainbow The rainbow The rainbow |

The Secret Still
Remains

Lappessen "features me as a guest vocalist with the German Trance/Dance act Sash!"

There's a secret about your love That always keeps me thinking of
How we ease each others'
pain Only when I feel you near You take away my deepest fear You put a spell on my heart
But I am not calling for
any redemption And the secret still remains And I want you not to reveal How you make me feel
How I have been touched by
your love So you keep the key And I keep on playing my part Not knowing the game
And the secret will remain These thoughts they haunt me every night Visions covering my mind
Cause I know you can't be
far Just the thought that you are mine Makes cold wind shiver down my spine You put a spell on my heart
But I am not calling for
any redemption And the secret still remains And I want you not to reveal How you make me feel
How I have been touched by
your love So you keep the key And I keep on playing my part Not knowing the game
And the secret will remain And the secret will remain And the secret will remain And the secret will remain And the secret will remain |

Self fulfilling prophecies Strangers stealing someone else's dream I've seen it all Fighting for my dignity Running for your life in times like these I've seen it all I remember the time Once in a life, you hold me Got you here in my head, Here in my head, here in my hand for safety... I've seen it all... seen it all I've seen it all... seen it all I've seen it all... Waiting on a bed of nails Time is running slow until it ends I've seen it all Fighting for my dignity Running for your life in times like these I've seen it all I remember the time Once in a life, you hold me Got you here in my head, Here in my head, here in my hand for safety... I've seen it all... seen it all I've seen it all... seen it all I've seen it all... Like I've never seen before Catching up a smile instead of frown Asking you to never let me down It will never be the same forever I've seen it all... |
