Atomic Picnic (Music/Lyrics: H. Treichel, 2014)
Announcement 1
1. Come on children, to the park. Left their home at dawn.
Sunshine fills the air, and there is laughter on the lawn.
Voices pure and having fun. Let us fly a kite.
The time has come to say good-bye.
Don’t want to leave you far behind.
Radiation, poison. Can you tell me why?
Ref. What we’ve seen, they blew it all!
Little children, men decay.
“Problem solved” with blasts of rays.
Blackened skies and heaps of frozen lives.
Can’t turn back the time.
And I, can’t change anything.
2. Waving at the plane, coming from the west.
In the summer’s blue. A second sun ascends.
As friends are holding hands. Dust is what remains.

No matter (Music: H. Treichel; Lyrics: H. Treichel/A. Dieck, 2015)
1. There are days when I break down
Roam the streets of my old town
I remember all the days
Friends of childhood, life a chase
Took the chances I could get
Life a playground, not a threat
I remember all the lights
As a child they were so bright
Held my head high, with a smile
Was always smiling, that’s right.
The world my oyster through the years
Just blue skies, never a tear.
2. I lay my head unto the sand
Next to you my dear old friend
And my sorrows go away
In your arms I stay unbend
I lay my head unto the sand
Next to you my dear old friend
Shut the world out, close my eyes
See again the golden skies
Ref.: No matter what they say, nothing brings me down.
And I know, and I know, and I know it’s ok
No matter what they say, life will bloom again
Yes I know, yes I know, yes I know you’ll be there
Hold my head high with a smile
I know I’m happy and free
Ignore the future, what’s waiting there
Just blue skies, never a tear
Guitar Solo
Refrain
Organ Solo
Hold my head high with a smile
I know I’m happy and free
Ignore the future, what’s waiting there
Just blue skies, never a tear
Refrain
Piano Solo
No matter what they say, nothing brings me down.
No matter what they say, life will bloom again
We’ll keep on dancing through our days
Scat……

Lay your head (Music/Lyrics: H. Treichel 2014)
Hold me in your arms tonight.
I’ll be staying by your side.
Lay your head against my shoulder.
Take my hands, let’s walk a while.
Children grown, we both got older.
But our love is holding on.
Lay your sleeping head, my love,
And time and fevers burn away
In my arms till break of day
Soul and body have no bounds
Not a whisper, not a thought,
Not a kiss nor a look to be lost.
When I look at you, and see your smile.
The thought of you makes me want to cry.
How can I explain how I feel, my love.
You’re the one that makes me real.
Close your eyes and dream of me
Lay your head and sleep.
When I look at you, and see your smile.
The thought of you just makes me want to cry.
Solo
Lay your head against my shoulder.
Take my hands, let’s walk a while.
Children grown, we both got older.
But our love is holding on.
Lay your sleeping head, my love,
And time and fevers burn away
In my arms till break of day
Soul and body have no bounds
When I look at you, and see your smile.
The thought of you just makes me want to cry.

Thunder (Music/Lyrics: H. Treichel 2014)
Clouds are forming above now. Brought by the winter.
Rolling thunder, breathe into me. Dance in the shadows.
I close my eyes and feel the pain
I call for your might to give me light
As the sky starts crying, the sun disappears out of sight
As the light is dying, the thunder starts to roar
Who gives me power when the sky goes dark?
Rolling thunder, breathe into me.
Brought to me by the winter rain.
This storm shall pass away with the morning sun.
I close my eyes in pain. The thunder starts to roar now.
I close my eyes in pain. How powerful the sound.
Who gives me power when the sky goes dark?
Rolling thunder, breathe into me.
Another color’s turning to gray
When lightning strikes and the clouds go grey.
I close my eyes and feel the pain
I call for your might to give me light
Brought to me by the winter rain.
This storm shall pass away with the morning sun.
I close my eyes and feel the pain
I call for your might to give me light
Clouds are forming above now. Brought by the winter.
Rolling thunder, breathe into me. Dance in the shadows.
Brought to me by the winter rain.
This storm shall pass away with the morning sun.
Thunder!

Love is all (Music/Lyrics: H. Treichel 2015)
1. With all my feelings and all my senses
And my powers deep inside.
I promise you, and I always will,
That I love you with all my might.
Days go by. Years go by.
2. When I met you some time ago
Then my dreams started to show, and my feelings to grow.
Into the sky above
I leave my heart on the floor and I want you to know.
3. You’re holding me when I start to cry...
Share my hopes, dreams, and all my fears...
Make me smile with just your eyes...
How my heart overflows with love!
Love is all. Love is all.
4. How I hear your voice when others talk or cry
Believe me, like no one else.
You make me live when I want to die.
You’re my now, my is, my was.
Love is all. Love is all.
5. With all my feelings and all my senses
And my powers deep inside.
I promise you, and I always will,
That I love you with all my might.
Days go by. Love is all.

If only I knew (Music/Lyrics: H. Treichel 2014)
1. 6 o’clock, and I can’t sleep.
One hour to go and no time to weep.
Without you next to me, so
The short time you have been with me.
If only I knew that our time flew
Every little thing reminds me of you
6 o’clock, and I can’t sleep.
One hour to go and no time to weep.
If only I knew!
If only I knew that it would be your last kiss
6 o’clock and I can’t sleep
If only I knew!
I would have listened to you.
I would have caught it before I went out of style.
If only I knew that our time’d be brief
(Na, na, na na)
Spoiled you rotten I would have done
Held on longer I would have done
Sitting here on my own now, crying my heart out
Was failing to see
If only I knew that this time
Would be the last time
For you and me
The time we had was so fleeting
Words came between it
Between you and me
6 o’clock, and I can’t sleep.
One hour to go and no time to weep.
If only I knew!
I would have listened to you.
I would have caught it before I went out of style.
Solo
If only I knew that our time’d be brief
(Na, na, na na)
Spoiled you rotten I would have done
Held on longer I would have done
Sitting here on my own now, crying my heart out
Was failing to see
If only I knew that this time
Would be the last time
For you and me
The time we had was so fleeting
Words came between it
Between you and me
6 o’clock, and I can’t sleep.
One hour to go and no time to weep.
If only I knew!
I would have listened to you.
I would have caught it before I went out of style.

Friends (Music: J. Blank/H. Treichel; Lyrics: H. Treichel, 1995/2014)
Once our story will be told
About a love worth more than gold
Tales of glory, tales of joy
Noble knighthood, wonder boy.
Big adventures, knees that bled
Sacred moments, sick in bed
Tears of happiness, love’s pain
Really nothing to regret.
Ref. Stay beside me cherished friend
Hold me tight until the end
Tell our children all the treasures of our life
In the middle of our years
Looking back, we’re moving on
Futures tied together strong
Count the blessings we’re proud to bear
Solo
In the middle of our years
Looking back, we’re moving on
Futures tied together strong
Count the blessings we’re proud to bear
Ref. Stay with me my cherished friend
Hold me tight until the end
Tell our children all the treasures of our life
In the middle of our years
Looking back, we’re moving on
Futures tied together strong
Count the blessings we’re proud to bear
In the middle of our years………

Raven’s Dance (Music & Lyrics: H. Treichel, 2014)
La, la, la, la, la.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Angels spread their wings
Clouds so high above.
Deliver me to the heavens.
Away from inane desires.
I have danced with the Raven.
1. A look outside my window
Rainy, cloudy, solemn faces.
They disappear under their umbrellas,
As if they try to hold back the world around them.
Ref. A look through the window of my heart.
Worthwhile, cleansing, nothing bothers me.
The raven’s dance brought back the colors
The rain had washed away for me.
2. Amongst the stagnant life outside my world.
A black dot is hopping about.
Appears that life is moving again.
Black is turning to a sequence of mist.
3. Memories are dancing with the raven.
Thoughts are deliberating and change.
It’s raining fire in my phantasies.
Dreams are carrying me away.
La, la, la, la, la.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Angels spread their wings
Clouds so high above.
Deliver me to the heavens.
Away from inane desires.
I have danced with the Raven.
