What is this that stands before me? Figure in black which points at me Turn 'round quick and start to run Find out I'm the chosen one Oh, no
Big black shape with eyes of fire Telling people their desire Satan sitting there he's smiling Watches those flames get higher and higher Oh, no, no, please God help me
Child cries out for his mother Mother's screaming in the fire Satan points at me again Opens the door to push me in Oh no
Is it the end my friend Satan's coming 'round the bend People running 'cause they're scared The people better go and beware No, no, please, no
The world today is such a wicked thing Fighting going on between the human race People got to work just to earn their bread While people just across the sea are counting their dead
A politician's job they say is very high For he has to choose who's got to go and die They can put a man on the moon quite easy While people here on earth are dying of all diseases
A woman goes to work every day after day She just goes to work just to earn her pay Child sitting by but his life's much harder He doesn't even know who is his father
I see the look of evil in your eyes Women filling me all full of lies Sorrow will not change your shameful deals You will pass someone else instead of me
Evil woman don't you play your games with me Evil woman don't you play your games with me
Now I know just what you're looking for You want me to claim this child you bore Well you know the evil deeds you seen And you know the way it's got to be
Evil woman don't you play your games with me Evil woman don't you play your games with
Evil woman don't you play your games with me Evil woman don't you play your games with me
Wickedness lies in your poisoned lips Your body moves just like the crack of a whip Blackness sleeps on top of your stained bed Don't you wish that you could see me dead
Evil woman, don't you play your games with me Evil woman, don't you play your games with me Evil woman, don't you play your games with me Evil woman, don't you play your games with me
Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to sacrifice
Can you help me, occupy my brain? Oh yeah I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind
Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal
And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late
Has he lost his mind? Can he see or is he blind? Can he walk at all, Or if he moves will he fall? Is he alive or dead? Has he thoughts within his head We'll just pass him there Why should we even care
He was turned to steel In the great magnetic field Where he traveled time For the future of mankind
Nobody wants him He just stares at the world Planning his vengeance That he will soon unfold
Now the time is here For Iron Man to spread fear Vengeance from the grave Kills the people he once saved
Nobody wants him They just turn their heads Nobody helps him Now he has his revenge
Heavy boots of lead Fills his victims full of dread Running as fast as they can Iron Man lives again!
What you you gonna do, Time's caught up with you Now you wait your turn, You know there's no return Take your written rules, You join the other fools Turn to something new, Now it's killing you
First it was the bomb, Vietnam napalm, Disillusioning, You push the needle in From life you escape, Reality(')s that (way/fade) Colors in your mind satisfy in time
Oh you you know you must be blind, To do such things like this, To take the sleep that you don't know You're giving Death a kiss Poor little fool now
Your mind is full of pleasure, Your BODY's looking ill To you it's shallow leisure, So drop the acid pill Don't stop to think now
You're having a good time baby, But that won't last, Your mind's all full of things, You're living too fast, Go out enjoy yourself, Don't bar it in You need someone to help you stick the needle in, yeah
Now you know the scene, Your skin starts turnin' green Your eyes no longer see life's reality Push the needle in, Face Death's sickly grin Holes are in your skin, Caused by deadly pin
Head starts spinning 'round, You fall down to the ground Feel your body heave, Death's hand starts to weave It's too late to turn, You Don't want to learn Price of life you hide, Now You're gonna die
When I first met you, didn't realize I can't forget you or your surprise You introduced me to my mind And left me wanting you and your kind Oh yeah
I love you Oh, you know it
My life was empty, forever on a down Until you took me, showed me around My life is free now, my life is clear I love you sweet leaf though you can't hear Oh yeah
Come on now Try it out
Straight people don't know what you're about They put you down and shut you out You gave to me a new belief And soon the world will love you sweet leaf Oh yeah baby
Come on now! Oh yeah! Try me out baby! Alright! Oh yeah-ah! I want you part of this sweet leaf! Oh yeah! Alright, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh try me out I love you sweet leaf, oh
Have you ever thought about your soul Can it be saved? Or perhaps you think that when you're dead You just stay in your grave
Is God just a thought within your head Or is he a part of you? Is Christ just a name that you read in a book When you were at school?
When you think about death do you lose your breath Or do you keep your cool? Would you like to see the Pope on the end of a rope Do you think he's a fool?
Well I've seen the truth, yes I've seen the light And I've changed my ways And I'll be prepared when you're lonely and scared At the end of our days
Could it be you're afraid of what your friends might say If they knew you believe in God above? They should realize before they criticize That God is the only way to love
Is your mind so small that you have to fall In with the pack wherever they run Will you still sneer when death is near And say that you may as well worship the sun?
I think it was true it was people like you that crucified Christ I think it is sad the opinion you had was the only one voiced Will you be so sure when your day is near, say you don't believe? You had the chance but you turned it down, now you can't retrieve
Perhaps you'll think before you say that God is dead and gone Open your eyes, just realize That he's the one
The only one who can save you now From all this sin and hate Or will you still jeer at all you hear? Yes, I think it's too late
Revolution in their minds, the children start to march Against the world in which they have to live and the hate that's in their hearts They're tired of being pushed around and told just what to do They'll fight the world until they've won and love comes flowing through - yeah!
Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today Will the sun rise up tomorrow bringing peace in any way? Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear? Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear? Yeah!
So you children of the world listen to what I say If you want a better place to live in, spread the word today Show the world that love is still alive, you must be brave Or you children of today are children of the grave - yeah!
You're searching for your mind don't know where to start Can't find the key to fit the lock on your heart You think you know but you are never quite sure Your soul is ill but you will not find a cure, yeah
Your world was made for you by someone above But you choose evil ways instead of love You made me master of the world where you exist The soul I took from you was not even missed, yeah
Lord of this world Evil possessor Lord of this world He's your confessor now!
You think you're innocent, you've nothing to fear You don't know me you say but isn't it clear? You turn to me in all your worldly greed and pride But will you turn to me when it's your turn to die, yeah?
My name it means nothing, my fortune is less My future is shrouded in dark wilderness Sunshine is far away, clouds linger on Everything I posessed, now they are gone They are gone They are gone
Oh, where can I go to and what can I do? Nothing can please me, only thoughts are of you You just laughed when I begged you to stay I've not stopped crying since you went away You went away You went away
The world is a lonely place, you're on your own Guess I will go home, sit down and mourn Crying and thinking is all that I do Memories I have remind me of you Of you Of you
Rocket engines burning fuel so fast Up into the night sky they blast Through the universe the engines whine Could it be the end of man and time?
Back on earth the flame of life burns low Everywhere is misery and woe Pollution kills the air, the land and sea Man prepares to meet his destiny, yeah
Rocket engines burning fuel so fast Up into the black sky so vast Burning metal through the atmosphere Earth remains in worry, hate and fear
With the hateful battles raging on Rockets flying to the glowing sun Through the empires of eternal void Freedom from the final suicide
Freedom fighters sent out to the sun Escape from brainwashed minds and pollution Leave the earth to all its sin and hate Find another world where freedom waits, yeah
Past the stars in fields of ancient void Through the shields of darkness where they find Love upon a land a world unknown Where the sons of freedom make their home
Leave the earth to Satan and his slaves Leave them to their future in the grave Make a home where love is there to stay Peace and happiness in everyday
I want to reach out and touch the sky I want to touch the sun but I don't need to fly I'm gonna climb up every mountain of the moon And find the dish that ran away with the spoon
I've crossed the ocean, turned every bend I found the plastic at the gold at rainbow's end I've been through magic and through life's reality I've lived a thousand years, it never bothered me
Got no religion, don't need no friends Got all I want and I don't need to pretend Don't try to reach me, 'cause I'll tear up your mind I've seen the future and I've left it behind
You've seen life through distorted eyes You know you had to learn The execution of your mind You really had to turn The race is run the book is read The end begins to show The truth is out the lies are old But you don't want to know Nobody will ever let you know When you ask the reasons why They just tell you that you're on your own Fill your head all full of lies
The people who have crippled you You want to see them burn The gates of life have closed on you And there's just no return You're wishing that the hands of doom would take your mind away And you don't care if you don't see again The light of day Nobody will ever let you know When you ask the reasons why They just tell you that you're on your own Fill your head all full of lies
Feel so good I feel so fine Love that little lady always on my mind She gives me lovin' every night and day Never gonna leave her, never going away
Someone to love me You know she makes me feel alright Someone who needs me Love me every single night
Feel so happy since I met that girl When we're making love it's something out of this world Feels so good to know that she's all mine Going to love that woman till the end of time
Someone to live for Love me till the end of time Makes me feel happy Good to know that she's all mine
Lovely lady make love all night long Lovely lady never do me wrong I don't wanna leave ya I never wanna leave ya Anymore no more
Lovely lady, mystifying eyes Lovely lady, she don't tell me no lies I know I'll never leave ya I'm never gonna leave ya Anymore, I said no more I said no more No more, yeah I said no more, no more I said no more, no more I said no more, ooh yeah
How people look and people stare Well I don't think that I even care You rot your life away and what do they give? You're only killing yourself to live
Killing yourself to live Killing yourself to live
Just take a look around you, what do you see? Pain, suffering, and misery It's not the way that the world was planned It's a pity you don't understand
Killing yourself to live Killing yourself to live
I'm telling you, believe in me Nobody else will tell you Open your eyes and see the lies Oh yeah
Smoke it Get high
You think that I'm crazy, but baby I know that it's true Before that you know it I think that you'll go crazy too
I don't know if I'm up or down Well the black and whites are blue and brown The colors in my life are all different somehow Little boy blue's a big girl now
So you think it's me who's strange But you've never had to make the change Never give your trust away You'll end up in paying till your dying day
I'm looking through a hole in the sky I'm seeing nowhere through the eyes of a lie I'm getting closer to the end of the line I'm living easy where the sun doesn't shine
I'm living in a room without any view I'm living free because the rent's never due The synonyms of all the things that I've said Are just the riddles that are built in my head
Hole in the sky, take me to heaven Window in time, through it I fly
I've seen the stars that disappear in the sun The shooting's easy if you've got the right gun And even though I'm sitting waiting for Mars I don't believe there's any future in cars
Hole in the sky, take me to heaven Window in time, through it I fly Yeah
I've watched the dogs of war enjoying their feast I've seen the western world go down in the east The food of love became the greed of our time But now I'm living on the profits of crime
I hide myself inside the shadows of shame The silent symphonies were playing their game My body echoed to the dreams of my soul It started something that I could not control
Where can I run to now? The joke is on me No sympathizing God, it's insanity, yeah
Why don't you just get out of my life, yeah? Why don't you just get out of my life now? Why doesn't everybody leave me alone now? Why doesn't everybody leave me alone, yeah?
Obsessed with fantasy possesed with my schemes I meet reality with pseudo mock dreams The ghost of violence was something I'd seen I sold my soul to be the human obscene
How could this poison be the dream of my soul? How did my fantasies take complete control, yeah?
Why don't you just get out of my life, yeah? Why don't you just get out of my life now? Why doesn't everybody leave me alone now? Why doesn't everybody leave me alone, yeah?
Well I feel something's taking me I don't know where It's like a trip inside a separate mind The ghost of tomorrow from my favorite dream Is telling me to leave it all behind
Feel it slipping away Slipping in tomorrow Got to get to happiness Want no more of sorrow
How I lied, went to hide How I tried to get away from you now Am I right if I fight? That I might just get away from you now Sting me!
Well I feel something's giving me the chance to return It's giving me the chance of saving my soul Victim of demigod, I'm fading away I'm going backwards where I'm in control
Feel it slipping away Slipping in tomorrow Getting back to sanity Providence of sorrow
Was it wise to disguise How I tried to get away from you now? Is there a way that I can pay Or is it true I have to stay with you now?
How I lied, had to hide How I tried to get away from you now Am I right if I fight? That I might just get away from you now Suck me!
I'm really digging schizophrenia the best of the Earth I'll chase my soul in the fires of hell Peace of mind eluded me, but now it's all mine I set the trap, but it was me who fell
Feel it slipping away Slipping in tomorrow Now I've found my happiness From the depths of sorrow
No more lies, I got wise I despise the way I worshipped you, yeah Now I'm free, can't you see And now instead I won't be led by you now Free!
Inclination of direction, walk the turned and twisted rift With the children of creation futuristic dreams we sift Clutching violently we whisper with a liquefying cry Any deadly final answers that are surely doomed to die
Won't you help me Mr. Jesus, won't you tell me if you can? When you see this world we live in, do you still believe in Man? If my songs become my freedom and my freedom turns to gold Then I'll ask the final question, if the answer could be sold
Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it 'Cause I've got no reason to lie, yeah Forget your problems that don't even exist And I'll show you a way to get high
Oh yeah Oh yeah! Oh yeah Oh yeah!
So come along, you know you matter to me Remember freedom is not hard to find, yeah Time to stop all your messing around Don't you think that I know my own mind
Oh yeah Oh yeah! Oh yeah Oh yeah!
Why can't you believe, it's not here to perceive Do you always have to be told, yeah For you have been taught that if your mind has been bought Life's entire answer was sold
I'm just another back street kid Rock 'n Roll music is the only thing I really dig Can't stop the music going round inside my head I'm a rock 'n roll soldier, gonna play it until I'm dead Nobody I know will ever take my rock n' roll away from me
Sitting in the back seat of a shiny limousine Living in a taxi can't remember where I've been Playing my music, sitting in my hotel room Writing about the stars and thinking about the hand of doom Nobody I know will ever take my rock n' roll away from me
Living life comes easy if you know which way you're going Got to see yourself in other's eye's, surprised? Living like I want to don't come easy, but I'm trying Sorting out what's true and what are lies, it's wise
Brought up in a back street living with the salt of the land Seems that now my music's paying off my tax demands So listen to the music, want to see you get so high 'Cause I'm a back street rocker and I will be till the day I die Nobody I know will ever take my rock n' roll away from me
Watching the universe at the end of another day Fatalistic ships froma distant shore In the back of my mind I could see she was standing there Like the feeling you have When you've been there before
She was a gypsy woman She was as cold as the day, yeah She said I'd got it coming And then she took me away, yeah
She took me through the shadows of her sunken dream I thought it's over me, she wasn't all she seemed
She took my hand and then she started to speak She told me she'd had the call With eyes of fire that were burning my soul She looked into her crystal ball She read my fortune then she read my mind She didn't like my thoughts at all
She showed me shadows, a spectre of life My soul just wanted to scream She stared so deeply into my eyes That's when I fell into a dream When I awoke in bed she lay beside me And she read me with her eyes, she said
So you wanna be a gypsy, come on now So you wanna be a gypsy, come on now, now, now
Gypsy woman you're the devil in drag You are the queen of all hell You took my body,now you're wasting my soul You've got me under your spell And as the sun shines on another day You're gonna take my mind as well,it's over
So you wanna be a gypsy, come on now So you wanna be a gypsy, come on now So you wanna be a gypsy, come on now So you wanna be a gypsy
I've been gone a long long time,waiting for you I din't want to see you go And now it's hurting so much,what can I do? I wanted you to be my wife The days are passing slowly,since you've gone Your memories are all I have I sit here waiting but you'll never show Without you I can't carry on
You said you'd always love me,all of my life And then you said your last goodbye Why the sudden change,why all the lies, I should have seen it in your eyes The endless hours of heartache,waiting for you My summer love has turned to rain The silent emptiness of one sided love My life means nothing now you're gone...
The neon lights are shining on me again I walk the lonely streets in search of a friend I need a lady to help me to get through the night, threw the night If I could find her then everything would be alright
The sleepy city is dreaming the nigh time away Out on the street I watch tomorrow becoming today I see a man,he′s got take away women for sale Yes for sale Guess that′s the answer ′Cos take away women don′t fail...
Oh dirty women,they don′t mess around Oh dirty women,they don′t mess around You′ve got me coming You′ve got me going around Oh dirty women, They don′t mess around
Walking the streets I wonder will it ever happen Gotta be good then everyting would be o.k. if I could score tonight then I will end up happy
People going nowhere, taken for a ride Looking for the answers that they know inside Searching for a reason, looking for a rhyme Snow White's mirror said, "Partners in crime!"
Don't they ever have to worry? Don't you ever wonder why? It's a part of me that tells you Oh, don't you ever, don't ever say die Never, never, never say die again
Sunday's satisfaction, Monday's home and dry Truth is on the doorstep, welcome in the lie All dressed up in sorrow, got no place to go Hold back till it's ready, taking it slow
Don't they ever have to worry? Don't you ever wonder why? It's a part of me that tells you Oh, don't you ever, don't ever say die Never, never, never say die again
Don't you ever say die Don't you ever say die Never say die
Panic, silver lining, writing's on the wall Children get together, you can save us all Future's on the corner, throwing us a die Slow down, turn around, everything's fine
There's no need to have a reason There's no need to wonder why It's a part of me that tells you Oh, don't you ever, don't ever say die Never, never, never say die again
Tortured and twisted, he walks the streets alone People avoid him, they know the street's his own Cold blade of silver, his eyes they burn so wild Mean as a tiger, society's own child
Those who try to burn him pay You don't do that to Johnny Blade He's the meanest guy around his town One look and he will cut you down Johnny Blade, Johnny Blade
Life has no meaning, and Death's his only friend Will fate surprise him, where will he meet his end? He feels so bitter, yes he's so full of hate To die in the gutter, I guess that's Johnny's fate
Rivals all across the land He kills them with his knife in hand He's the meanest guy around his town One look and he will cut you down Johnny Blade, Johnny Blade Johnny Blade, Johnny Blade
Well you know that Johnny's a spider And his web is the city at night He's a victim of modern frustration That's the reason he's so ready to fight
He's the one that should be afraid What will happen to you, Johnny Blade?
Oh he knows his future's decided And he ain't gonna change it, no way He was born to die in the gutter He'll keep fighting 'till the end of his days
Been alone all through his life His only friend is a switchblade knife He's the one who should be afraid What will happen to you, Johnny Blade?
You fool the people Who's fooling who? It's time to listen Who's fool are you?
Old men crying, young men dying World still turns as Father Time looks on On and on Children playing, dreamers praying Laughter turns to tear as love has gone Has it gone?
Oh, it's a hard road Oh, it's a hard road
Whirlwind churning, lovers learning On this path of life we can't back down Is it wrong? Widows weeping, babies sleeping Life becomes the singer and the song Sing along
Oh, it's a hard road Carry your own load
Why make the hard road? Why can't we be friends? No need to hurry We'll meet in the end
Why make the hard road? Why can't we be friends? No need to worry Let's sing it again
Brother's sharing, mother's caring Nightime falling victim to the dawn Shadows gone Days are crawling, time is calling To the Earth that not that life is gone Love line drawn
Oh, it's a hard road Carry your own load Oh, it's a hard road Oh, it's a hard road
We're living in sorrow, we're living the best And look to the future, 'cause life goes together now We're living in sorrow, we're living the best And look to the future, 'cause life goes together now We're living in sorrow, we're living the best And look to the future, 'cause life goes together now
There's no reason for you to run You can't escape the fate of the chosen one Black moon rising, in a blood red sky This time you realise that you're gonna die
Drinking your blood brew is your answer That's what you plan to do No dreaming, time you cheat this master You're on your own going through
Wind of mist has taken over your mind And you think you're on your own Don't believe you are the only one here Look around, you're not alone
Feel the forces from another world Ghostly shadows fill your mind Evil power hanging over you As you freeze, you're like a child Look behind you!
Somebody's calling Someone is near Feel yourself falling Falling with fear You tell yourself you're dreaming You realise you're screaming You know that this shouldn't happen to you You tell yourself that it's scary too But there is nothing you can do, oh!
Ghostly shadows from the other world Evil forces in your mind Trapped between the worlds of life and death Frozen in the realms of time Look behind you!
You feel yourself falling, you're at the end of the line Your body is crawling, but your senses are blind Cold, cold feelings are running through your brains Ice cold fingers, running through your veins
She sits in silence, in her midnight world Her faded pictures, of her dancing girls Her, distant dreamer, on the seas of time Her happy memories, dancing through her mind
In days of romance She was the queen of dance She'd dance the night away
And as the seasons turn the days to years She holds her pictures, hears the silent cheers The days grow lonely for the dancing queen And now she dances only in her dreams
In days of romance She was the queen of dance She'd dance the night away, away, away, away
Born in the window Cold blooded spoof Raised in the prison You called the school Taught young in legends Told what to do I handed my childhood Over to you
Travelling endlessly, I'm searching for mind I'm almost afraid of what I will find Wandering aimlessly, oh what can I do? I handed my future over to you, to you
Over to you Future looks blue What can I do?
Watching for freedom Fighting our wars Feeding our children Keeping your laws Someday you'll suffer And what I'll do I'll hand all your promises Over to you
Standing inside myself, I'm losing control You made me believe in the stories you told Waiting impatiently, what else can I do? I handed my future over to you, to you
Over to you Future looks blue What can I do?
Tears filled of sadness Stealing myself Which burning secrets? What to they tell? Mad politicians Can tell it true I handed my children Over to you
All over, over to you All over, over to you All over, over to you...
It's against my uniform To be a civil judge All the songs are history now 'Bout rock stars and their grudge Let us cast our minds back To thirty years or more You took up all the vandals Will Hitler beat 'em all?
And we're sad and sorry Really sorry that it happened that way Yes we're sad and sorry But why'd you have to treat us that way?
Compare ourselves with others And cover them in sin Oh, God what a terrible A terrible state we're in There must be some way out of here A comprimise that's right If we cannot work it out We're gonna have to fight
Yes we're sad and sorry Really sorry that it happened that way Yes we're sad and sorry We cannot go on in those days
I'm talking about my brothers Yeah, I'm talking 'bout sisters as well I wish you good luck Good luck!
Oh, but the world's still on fire Chain the hope you take on, liar This fire We're on fire, we're on fire, yeah...
Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to sacrifice
Can you help me, occupy my brain? Oh yeah I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind
Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal
And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late
Has he lost his mind? Can he see or is he blind? Can he walk at all, Or if he moves will he fall? Is he alive or dead? Has he thoughts within his head We'll just pass him there Why should we even care
He was turned to steel In the great magnetic field Where he traveled time For the future of mankind
Nobody wants him He just stares at the world Planning his vengeance That he will soon unfold
Now the time is here For Iron Man to spread fear Vengeance from the grave Kills the people he once saved
Nobody wants him They just turn their heads Nobody helps him Now he has his revenge
Heavy boots of lead Fills his victims full of dread Running as fast as they can Iron Man lives again!
