[Tobi]
Wandering the low lands
And high plains
Been crossing the mountains
Sailing the sea
Anxiety-free

[Jorn]
Been craving for rain in the desert
Saw bleak nights devour
The day's blazing heat - oh

[Tobi]
A light burning out
Tied to the canon's apron
Hie in obedience
To the scantiness of times
Meant to astound
Entangled in adornment
An ornament sublime

Dreams allayed
No weakness gets betrayed

[Michi]
Right on
Swaying to the sacred fanfares
Don't you stop to run
From paradise to despair

[Jorn]
Yeah, strident voices

[Michi & Tobi]
Now why don't you?
Why do you slow down?
Right on!
Don't speak, don't wonder!
That way! This way!
Don't walk astray!
Welcome to the arabesque

[Michi]
Oh
[Tobi]
Oh

[Jorn]
You beat up against
The wind and the flow
Concealing your tears
With the sweat from your brow
No one see's them
They're next to you
Deride them
Despite they're the faithful
The only, the true, oh

[Jorn]
Got a navigation map
And aspiration
If only that good old chart
Would show the seas ya gonna sail
Run up and down
Until you stand to reason
Faithfully you break

[Michi]
Dreams aligned
Stalwartly confined

[Tobi]
Right on
Swaying to the sacred fanfares
Don't you stop to run
To the promised land in despair

[Jorn]
Voices screaming:

[Michi & Tobi]
Now why don't you?
Why do you slow down?
Right on!
Don't speak, don't wonder!
That way! This way!
Don't walk astray!
Welcome to the arabesque

[Tobi]
Toss and turn all night
Got to get it right
Is it just a dream
Or runaway fantasy?
Reverie out of kilter?

[Michi]
Got to carry on
Go on, play along
Don't you let them drown
As they help you drown
Your feelings in a philtre

[Tobi]
I want the turmoil to go away
And slowly I'd trouble no more
Like a grain
The wild wind blows away
From a whispering, blistering shore

If you'd look back at the shore
Through my eyes

Having sailed just a mile in my shell
Hold to think
And maybe feel what it's like
At the deep and of slightly unwell

[Jorn]
Got to carry on
Must be going strong
Wipe away the tears
Put your vizard on
Welcome to the creep show

[Jorn & Tobi]
Welcome to the freakshow!!!

[Tobi]
And I'm dreaming of mother love
And colouring outside
The lines like a child
Beyond growing up
And the pain that goes along with it
To escape these confines

[Solo: Sascha Paeth]

[Tobi]
Ooooh, no breath for pretence
Refuse to make sense

[Michi]
Right on
Swaying to the sacred fanfares
Don't you stop to run
From paradise to despair

[Jorn]
Searing voices:

[Jorn & Michi]
Now why don't you?
Why do you slow down?
Right on!
Don't speak, don't wonder!
That way! This way!
Don't walk astray!
Welcome to the arabesque

[Michi]
Right on
Swaying to the sacred fanfares
[Tobi]
Don't you stop to run
Right on, right on
[Jorn]
Through the pain and the fire
Through the wind and the rain
Walking a long way from home

[Jorn & Tobi]
Right on
