1) The history of ZENO began to take shape in the early seventies when Zeno Roth and Ule W. Ritgen formed their first band (BLACK ANGEL) in Hannover. Strongly influenced by classic rock bands like Cream, Yes and Jimi Hendrix, both musicians played together for some years while attending university.
When this band had broken up in 1977, Ule Ritgen played bass in the band of Zeno's brother, Uli Jon Roth, appearing on three ELECTRIC SUN albums.
By 1980, Zeno Roth and Ule Ritgen were again working together, heading in a new direction. Zeno recalls: " The music became more melodic, with stronger vocal parts than anything we had done before. Instead of just two guitars, we added keyboard parts and background harmonies. It started to sound like what we were striving for."
The complete line-up of ZENO was formed when Michael Flexig joined as a lead singer. On the basis of superb demo tracks, ZENO were awarded one of the largest recording contracts for a new band in rock history.
The origin of the name "Zeno" stems from a Greek philosopher, " Zeno Of Citium (Cyprus)" who founded the philosophy called Stoicism. Zeno (Zenon)'s philosophical system included logic and theory of knowledge, physics, and ethics--the latter being central. He held that happiness lays in living in accordance with the laws of Nature and Divine Reason, which governs the universe.
A deep thinker, Zeno Roth, as a successor of such a Greek philosophical mind, is gifted with writing as well as making music. After the first album 'Zeno' had been released in 1986 he went more into the writing field, as the music business at that time was not very advantageous to melodious rock.
However, the door to his music was knocked open anew by the Japanese listeners who loved "Eastern Sun" from the re-released album 'Zeno' in 1993. It is fitting that the East, the country of the "Rising Sun" should be directly responsible for rekindling Zeno's desire to continue creating his music.
As a next step, 'Zenology' was delivered in 1995, with songs that had been composed in the non-active period of the band ZENO. Although those songs were not newly composed, some of them hit many people with the everlasting touch of ZENO's powerful melody. (Like "TOGETHER")
In 1998, the third album 'Listen To The Light' was released. It gained a high reputation with its melodious lyricism, containing many positive messages, spiritual, social and political, concepts for the future and his amazing guitar playing.

I believe in Christ, without being a "Christian", I believe in Buddha, without being a "Buddhist", I believe in many concepts of the old Indian religions, without being a "Hindu", I believe in God without being religious in a formal sense, I believe in myself without being "selfish"...

Zeno Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Since I knew your nasty face
I shivered by the look in your eyes
It meant trouble to me
When I come to see
You're staring for victims
Like a hawk in the sky
You worried my mind
You got me down
But I know I'm gonna survive
You can tell me what you want
But it's better if you don't
The years have made me deaf to all lies
Had enough of your talk
It's better you walk
Out of that door, out of my eyes
So sad when I'm looking back
To the time of all these dirty lies
But I won't let you break my neck
And I know that I will I'm gonna survive
You got me down

You've been poisoning my days
You have been ruining my every single day
Since I knew your nasty face
Ever since I saw your unpleasant face
I shivered by the look in your eyes
I trembled when I looked into your eyes
It meant trouble to me
I felt like there was going to be an issue
When I come to see
Whenever I come and visit
You're staring for victims
You're looking for people to harm
Like a hawk in the sky
Just like how a hawk hunts its prey from above
You got me down
You have brought me down
You worried my mind
You caused me a lot of distress in my mind
But I know I'm gonna survive
However, I am confident that I will persevere
You can tell me what you want
You can say whatever you feel like
But it's better if you don't
But it would be beneficial for both of us if you didn't
The years have made me deaf to all lies
Over the years, I have become immune to any falsehoods
Had enough of your talk
I have had my fill of your words
It's better you walk
It is highly recommended that you leave
Out of that door, out of my eyes
Just leave from that door and exit from my life entirely
So sad when I'm looking back
It is disheartening when I reflect on the past
To the time of all these dirty lies
To the time when a bunch of false information was being circulated
But I won't let you break my neck
Nevertheless, I won't allow you to ruin or dominate me
And I know that I will I'm gonna survive
Furthermore, I am positive that I will come out on top
