Andre Anderson

I saw you all around the place - a sure, solid bet:
no heart, no soul... a common face, as cold as you can get
Without a clue, without a cause
you're moving forward just because
it's in your blood, cuz otherwise you're just an

empty shell

Behind that almost perfect mask -
no feelings, no remorse
Remember: time is running fast,
the sound of closing doors
is getting louder every day. No use to look another way -
you never had a real name, you're just an

empty shell

The end is near - so unavoidable and rude -
I guess you're dwelling on the past Whatever happens here
is easy understood:
you're never meant to last, you're never gonna last.

Hey, how've you been? Dreamed 'bout you lately...
Whom have you seen? Miss you all... miss you greatly
I saw you smile... when? Last december?
Yeah, it's been awhile since you left. I remember
pain... as we're saying goodbye... pouring rain
Me? I don't know... lost all my senses -
facing the war makes you strong yet defenseless
Hell's all around, all that dying and screaming
There's no way out - you are next... so I'm dreaming

I close my eyes and hear: "Another man down."
but far behind me - I'm flying -
somebody else's body hits the ground I'm moving away... or just trying?

I spread my wings and hear: "Another man down." more screaming, cursing and crying
Somebody else's body hitting the ground... I open my eyes... and I am this "another man down"

Hey, it's getting colder... oh no, time to go

Life's not the same without you
All this time around you's been a dream.
and you'd never guess:
still I can hear your laughter even ages after
you've been gone. and I confess:

Half past loneliness... Im waiting for
all my dreams to show up at my door
The clock has stopped at
half past loneliness... Im wide awake
How much more a wounded,
broken heart can take?

Wait just a minute longer -
pain is getting stronger every time
you're on my mind
Now all I do is trying to forget, denying
a sense of time of any kind

Another day is passing by
but Im still standing, you might ask me "Why?
How many heartaches can you take,
how many wounds until your heart will break?"
Im moving on, Im pushing on
have no direction, but Im going strong
Just like a ship without a sail
with a hurricane right on its tail
I can't allow myself to fail

One more day - if you can give me one more day
Just one day - before you leave me - one more day.

The ones I met, the ones I lost
became a single - kind of scary - ghost
It keeps on knocking on my door
I tell you. I can't take it anymore
Entire life - a bloody mess
but at this point I couldn't care less
Whoever stayed, whoever fled:
you sort it out while Im - instead -
will keep on moving straight ahead

The race is on... I kneel and pray:
"Just give me one more day."

In the midnight hour Im sitting by the fire,
running out of memories to burn
Look, Im in your power - beaten down and tired,
waiting for the last thing left to learn

So show me how to live

You can leave me waiting by this dying fire...
just a single question, anyway:
What's the point - creating life but no desire
to hang on and face another day?

So show me how to live, cuz all I do is trying
to honestly forgive, but patience's running dry
So show me how to live: you can't keep denying
what all you've had to give - a thousand ways to die
Now show me how to live

I thought that the madness was over as echo of a last bloody war
was fading away, but discovered a new breed of fools on the way
to steal their fair share of headlines... in "Whatever Times"
over and over

For some unexplainable reason there's always a few of a kind
who'd put their beliefs in a prison of highly deranged, vicious minds
Praying away for a bigger and stronger empire to surface the Earth,
coming back from the ashes to set every nation on fire...
Blood's on your face and all over the place as

you're hiding, you're lying - disgrace is worse than dying,
keep falling much lower 'cause it's so far from over
The war cry's returning (remaining bridges're burning)
you'll hear it - we mean it - so clear and loud:
"Blood in blood out!"

Now the war's moving into your home...heat's getting closer

Who could have believed or expected, who knew all along that today
Dark Ages will be resurrected - now look at yourself, go on!
Wait for Messiah to save you and show what to do, follow
millions of desperate rebels without a clue what are they fighting for,
asking Almighty for.

See it coming... blood in blood out.

The chaos keeps on raging, still hungry for a thrill -
whatever script we're staging:
holy book's kept close to the gun - now fire at will
The cast is ever changing to reinvent its skill -
no soppy happy ending:
in the name of some God - just fire at will

Rest your weary head my son, all your trouble's just begun... it's still
a long way home.

It's been around for a while... that sign of a new beginning
I tried to let it all slide - no way, my mind keeps spinning
Some of the choices I've made's been haunting me forever
as trying hard to persuade me to regret. However:

Loneliness is grieving over what you are and then discover
who you were... or used to be... and now it seems so hard to understand
Give me strength to be who I was, recreate the ones whom I lost
down the road - so hard and lonely - please forgive me now for who I am

I do agree to a point... no grudge's been left unchallenged
as if I could disappoint a crowd around me... As each
day of my life has been led by one declining nation
And in the end - all I'd get's my final destination

As there's no escape and no redemption at any Sunday afternoon
Your sins are catching up to hit you in the back -
you never thought they would until today...you're doomed
while watching an open exit wound

All by myself under the scorching sun
looking around, hoping the hate is gone
Waiting... as for the magic trick to be revealed:
you see, it's high noon at the battlefield - and not a soul around -
another high noon at the battlefield

Touching the ground, feeling the pain below...
How did it end there? Wish you'll never know
Guarded by this soil as if it was a shield:
you see, it's high noon at the battlefield - I left my fear behind -
a peaceful high noon...

But not so long ago the wind was strong and freezing cold
while blood was running down that hill
A war like this - you mark my words - can not be put on hold:
we'll keep on welding our steel
Do you believe that horrors from our distant past
will ever make us change our mind? No way!
Forget the fallen ones - we're in to have a blast,
so all in all we're doing fine.

Ways of beliefs were written down to please you:
saints, common thieves - each one his own to pick.
So why - can you tell me - your breed's inventing something new?
Holy war? Now I see - a sacrifice a week
Infidels way: live - let live... how can you resist
sudden urge to blow them away?

No - we're aware, your war's to get attention...
how could we dare to turn the TV off?
Raid (suicidal) - your humble share in a world's perfection
You'll meet - time is right - your idol and I hope
one bullet is enough... while you're screaming
from the top of your lungs:

Jihad! The ones who feel the pain will try to stop "the rain
of terror", it's insane... I hear them screaming:
Jihad! I know who it might be: nobody else but we,
the ones who hold the key...That's all they need:
Jihad! And as the time goes by we'll look upon the sky
to ask the question: "Why they keep on screaming
Jihad?" They're just a hostile breed that bites a hand that feeds
and loves to see it bleed - it's just a hostile breed

that cherish hate based on fear - that their religion can inspire
nowadays. All we hear is: "Jihad!"

While all of us walk alone... no help, we're on our own
The end - as they say - is a heartbeat away,
so give me a reason to stay...

Roaring silence...you walk down the street in Belfast -
think of it as every step that you take is your last...
It could be, easily, just keep on watching your back:
highest alert all the time - you are under attack,
better keep moving

Rain's falling down on me as trying to make me see
the scars of this town. Just leave it and run
surrounded by tears of the sun

Shot in the distance - and fear bounces back from these walls,
someone ahead of you screams and suddenly falls
Killings are random but there is a reason behind
Retaliation? Well, half of the nation went blind

while children in church are singing so peaceful,
bells are ringing a lovely tune... I'm going mad!

Rain's falling down on me as trying to make me see
the scars of this town. Just leave it and run
surrounded by tears of the sun
Rain's falling down on me... I wish it will let me be
One day I'll be gone but whatever I've done's
remembered by tears of the sun

You can't ask for forgiveness from Heaven
'til you've asked for forgiveness from men...
In this town it will take you forever, so who gives a damn?

White cape, red cross... hands up to cheer The Big Boss
No life, no love, no thoughts, no brains to speak of:
"Stand tall, divide the whole world in black and off-white!"
You've got your plan... God bless you losers and your Clan

The day will come... lights out - and soon you'll be gone
Who's left? Your son... The only thing you'll pass on:
"Kill a nigger, kill a Jew, kill a couple, kill a few". Alright -
no more, no less? He'll put you to rest while going:

Raise your glass and hail The Clan
feel united by your colour
Raise hell just because you can,
burn a cross... and one another.

In the beginning there was one and only God, you see - all said and done -
the only one you chose to rule the world
But then... as time was passing by you kept - without even knowing why -
re-entering new faces to the fold
So was it progress or regress? A bunch of them created such a mess
inventing laws all written gold on gold

"From now on one icon leaves no room for others"

So now we're back - a single face in every corner, showing holy grace,
demanding bigger palace - worth the king
We're working hard to build it right, we're slaving every day and every night,
just dying to complete this bloody thing

Higher, higher... we can't stop. The tower's getting higher

Build a perfect house of light on our flesh and bones
to keep a sacred image under lock and key, but
every single dream we had kept ending in the mud
when we replaced religion with the rock...
the very first mistake - a simple rock.

Inferior gods must be gone... tomorrow there'll be only one.

I'm rising sails to leave my father's land
No longer waiting for the tide
It took a while to try and understand
How do I want to live my life:
You live it or lie it - anyway you want.
I cross the ocean to another side to see the world you've never seen
I'm walking straight into the glowing light feeling as twice the man I've ever been
You live it or lie it - no reason to deny it.
Stop dreaming, start living...
All you have to do is break your chains.
Uncounted wonders no one's seen before...
I've watched them rise and dissapear
It could've been you - just open up the door
And take that first step to overcome you fear.

Kiss Of Faith

Only dead have seen the end of war... Knowing that - I feel a bit better
When I do remember what's happened before... oh well.
Moving on to the heart of a matter


Father always told me 'bout men and mice,
Bein' not afraid to take chances
Well, he said enough 'coz by the time he got iced
I was on my way - circumstances led me out into the open...
Boy, reality bites.


Doesn't matter what you do - another crook gets rich
Doesn't mean a thing what's your calling
Living by your heart - and whining "life is such a bitch"?
Anyway you go - you're falling to the bottom of the food chain.
Let me show you the way...


When the moon comes up and the sun goes down
I can change the whole world. Feeling stronger
From the dead of night to the morning light
Getting ready to challenge my faith
When you're feeling weak and your life seems tough,
You can't wait for a break any longer...
Who can stone you cold, who can whip you down
If you'll steal a lil'kiss from your faith


Do I live as I live or as I do? Don't you forget who told you:
"When life has no value - death has it's price"
...Just something I saw in my father's eyes.

When the night is calling I shut another door

Celebrating loneliness I've never known before

I miss a place to call my own - it's a long way home




In my open prison cell just everything I've got

disappeared in silence every word I've said is not

And now I'm lost and all alone - it's a long way home




It's a long road, but even longer for the blind

And I've been searching way too long

Still I can't find the place where I belong

It's a long way home




You see me suffer on my knees - I wish I knew just what it

means

You watch us come, you watch us go - he tells me

something I don't know

You've set me up, I thought I'm free - just tell me where you

wanna be

Another step and I'll be gone - what you will do can be

undone

It's over now - I feel my sadness fades away
Wonder how we could survive and take it through another day?
I'd say chances are few, but they are out there
Start something new - right now and right here - Look, I'm telling you...

We'll never give up, we'll never give in
Wherever this road's gonna lead us
We'll never give up, we're playin' to win
And heading right up to the top

We'll never give up, we'll never retreat
Whatever out there's gonna hit us
We'll never give up, we'll land on our feet
We'll make it come right in the end - We'll never give up!

Seconds fly as if the're bullets - Could it be
Worth a try (a try) to cut them loose and let some peace come sown on me?
I see chances are few but the are out there, waiting for you to decide
To start something new - right now and right here to change your life tonight

We'll never give up, we'll never give in
Wherever this road's gonna lead us
We'll never give up, we're playin' to win
And heading right up to the top

We'll never give up, we'll never retreat
Whatever out there's gonna hit us
We'll never give up, we'll land on our feet
We'll make it come right in the end - We'll never give up!

We will never give up, we'll never give in
Wherever this road's gonna lead us
We'll never give up, we're playin' to win
And heading right up to the top

We'll never give up, we'll never retreat
Whatever out there's gonna hit us
We'll never give up, we'll land on our feet
We'll make it come right in the end - We'll never give up!

We'll never give up!
Oh, no, no, no, no!
Never, no!

Time is running out, you're left behind
Can't you see you're not my kind? Kind...

Somebody's gain's built on somebody's loss
Friendship of ours was a beautiful ghost
Better run home - put a hell of a race
Get yourself a pretty, brand new face

Not my kind
You're not my kind

Tell me your dream and I'll tell you your soul
Higher we climb? Even harder we fall (son of a bitch)
Son of a bitch keeps on hangin' around
Stay away or I'll rip your heart out

Hustling left and right
So this is your kind?

Time is running out, just let it go (let it go)
Search your heart and you will find (you will find it)
Seeds of hate and envy, left to grow (left to grow)
Can't you see you're not my kind?

Not my kind
Ooh, not my kind

Year after year, all those battles we've fought
Hard to believe, but you've got yourself caught
Nowhere to hide, now you're under attack
Nice lil' load and it broke your back

Scream into the night
So this is your kind?

Time is running out, just let it go (let it go)
Search your heart and you will find (you will find it)
Seeds of hate and envy, left to grow (left to grow)
Can't you see you're not my kind?

(Time is running out, just let it go
Search your heart and you will find
Seeds of hate and envy, left to grow
Can't you see - you're not my kind?)

Time is running out, just let it go (let it go)
Search your heart and you will find (you will find it)
Seeds of hate and envy, left to grow (left to grow)
Can't you see you're not my kind?

Time is running out, just let it go (let it go)
Search your heart and you will find (you will find it)
Seeds of hate and envy, left to grow (left to grow)
Can't you see you're not my kind?

You're not my kind
Not my kind
Not my kind...

In our shop, as you can see
You'd be a man you want to be
Unhappy with the way it goes?
Just buy another life

And our prices, who can beat?
Here's royal flesh and cannot meat
You name it, my associate
Is sharpening her knife

Please take a peek inside
Tell me how, how it feels like

When you're spilling paper blood in the blaze of glory
Paper blood, on the holy ground
Paper blood, never ending story
Paper blood makes the world go round and round

We've got it covered to the tee
Another wife? Just take a brief:
Look at this fine selection of those
Bitches from the East

We're selling friends, we're selling cars
A recent show with superstars
A child, a war, a heart, a soul
It's all to make you pleased, right!

Nothing is too strange
When we are in this price range

You're wasting paper blood in the blaze of glory
Paper blood, on the holy ground
Paper blood, never ending story
Paper blood can buy a tiny crown
For this sad and weary clown
So he can smile and take a look around
Across his kingdom, fake as it could be
(And what's wrong with that?)
Where tears of joy're impossible to see
(What do we need them for?)
Where heartfelt laughter's not what you will hear
(And so what?)
Enough of that, 'coz it's my biggest fear

Images of winter gently move
Fallen, golden leaves.
Sun is hiding far behind the roof,
Knowing what it means
Days are getting shorter, I can see
Chilling tears of fall
Running down for you and leaving me
Out here in the cold
Since you left whatever I would do -
Nothing comes out right
I'm fighting through another lonely day,
Another sleepless night.
Dreaming 'bout wings to fly away
But as I was told
Brokenhearted can't, the're cursed to stay
Out here in the cold
This change of a season is over and done
Won't look for a reason... just sad that you're gone
Every single word you've ever said
Is ringing in my ears
Making me remember what I had.
This burning trail of tears
Leading me away, into the night...
Closer to my fall.
Season's changing, turning off the light
Out here in the cold
Dissapearing very slow - this line of footsteps in the snow...
Spirit of my better day's living on the edge
Be it so and let it be... 'coz as far as I can see
There's no way to escape this season's change.

Seven Days


7 days build this "perfect" world, so beautifully unfolded... fat baby on your lap.
7 signs before you'd lose your cool, obnoxious, pompous fool?
I'd say you're full of crap.
So you're still selling that Paradise skam?.. While keeping a hell of a poker face.
Well, nothing's really changing at all, so I'll be damned, boy:
Thank you for those 7 priceless days.


Please, don't be a stranger, look inside my life.
Full of it? As you are... with a touch of pride
Cut me wide, wide open, rip me up inside...
What's the matter? Busy? Blinded by the light?


Zooming in - the shores of Paradise... Those billboards're - full of lies -
Unchaining gates of hell.
Tears of joy on salesman's pretty face... He's screwing us with grace -
I hope I'll live to hell
Hell or heaven - the same merry-go-round. Pieces of one puzzle - cut'n'paste.
Tell me, is this really the best way which you've found
While sitting on that holy ground, wearing that shiny, golden crown
For 7 unforgettable days?
7 deadly sins - those remarkable days...

Age gone Wild


All I need is to turn the page
I can see a man - he's twice my age
Proud face, a lot of scars
I can see a shadow of the bars

Hold on - can you feel the sorrow
hold on - he wont see tomorrow.

Yes, he was proud as hell to the end of the line
So he's got a story to tell of the age gone wild
The magic and the spell and eye for an eye
Now, he's got a story to tell of the age gone wild.

Just a kid but he was told
He will be the one to rule the world
Such a shame - with the speed of light
He became a beggar over night

Age gone Wild


All I need is to turn the page
I can see a man - he's twice my age
Proud face, a lot of scars
I can see a shadow of the bars

Hold on - can you feel the sorrow
hold on - he wont see tomorrow.

Yes, he was proud as hell to the end of the line
So he's got a story to tell of the age gone wild
The magic and the spell and eye for an eye
Now, he's got a story to tell of the age gone wild.

Just a kid but he was told
He will be the one to rule the world
Such a shame - with the speed of light
He became a beggar over night

Bad luck ? over and over again
Bad luck
Bad luck

Working so hard make me feel I've committed a crime
I wanna make it so big, it's just a matter of time
Foolin' around now my time is running out
I want my feet back on the ground

I'm down ? and my chances so low
One for the money, two for a show
Why trouble ? is comin' to stay?
Bad luck ? bad luck all the way

I'm just gettin' so tired of fightin' the wall
Hey ? watchin' a big shot passing the ball
Nothing to loose, I'm in hell on pleasure cruise
Who gives a shit which way I choose, nobody moves

I'm down ? and my chances so low
One for the money, two for a show
Bad luck ? such a heavy load
Ain't gonna miss it goin' down the road

Sky high ? but it's never enough
Hey, little angel, kick that stuff
Why trouble ? is comin' to stay?
Bad luck ? bad luck all the way

I'm down ? and my chances so low
One for the money, two for a show
Bad luck ? such a heavy load
Ain't gonna miss it goin' down the road

Sky high ? but it's never enough
Hey, little angel, kick that stuff
Why trouble ? is comin' to stay?
Never, never, never again

I'm down ? and my chances so low
One for the money, two for a show
Bad luck ? such a heavy load
Ain't gonna miss it ? goin' down the road

Sky high ? but it's never enough
Hey, little angel, kick that stuff
Why trouble ? is comin' to stay?
Bad luck ? bad luck all the way

Another fight - another story.
I cannot choose, I'm always playin too much.
Days runs to night, turns off the glory.
Somebody's looses, somebody looks out of touch.

The colors are dark, but I hope to get luck on my side,
My sprit lost - I'm cry my heart out.
10 000 years have passed and what have we learned?
We're doin' worse - illusion's all 'round -
My life's the same as many lifetimes ago...

Day in, day out - I'll be alright,
Day in, day out - I feel like shoutin' it out.

I'm stranger in town, tryin' to make some connections,
My future and past are desperate wreck.
I'm starin' at mirrors and my my own reflection,
So rashly and slowly stickin' a knife in my back...

Easy Rider


Somebody's gonna win one in a million, on of a kind
So tell me it's a sin, I'm pushin' it up and crossin' the line

Nobody's gonna run, Nobody's gonna hide
So if you are lookin' for trouble - you'd better stand up and fight

Easy Rider - takin' it day by day
Easy Rider - drinkin' the night away.
Easy Rider - livin' it day by day
Easy Rider - trouble is on its way

Since I was a kid, never looked back, never slowed down
Ridin' the street, lookin' for a one way ticket to the promised land

Flight

Flight


Eye's of the night, keepin' me right
Engine's roaring like hell
Wing on my side, shakes of the light
Ready to go - I can tell

You better sit upright or you'll fall down
No one's gonna help you miles around
There's no place for tears or fear of heights
Nothing- just the thunder of flight

Fly forever and try -
Cross over the sky-
Feelin' the wind blow.
Cry for losers who died
They're watching you fly-
Over the rainbow

Scary how fast you're down in the dust,
Watching the sign in the sky
Kill or get killed, glory and thrill
Waitin' for one who'll survive
I had a dream last night and I say you burn
Right on the edge of the point of no return
No more excuses and no more comin' back,
Light of the sun - it's turnin' black

Heart of the City



can't see no changes, I wanna be free
I'm a brid on a wire
My blood is boilin' it's burnin' in me
Overkill by fire

Sun goes down and the moon's risin'
Chasin' evil shadows in town

Just like a junkie, I can't see a thing
Feelin' the chill that surrounds me

I can't get out 'cos I'm trapped in the ring
Something's comin' to haunt me

Set me free - don't try to put a chain on me
Page was a turn - you're gonna learn
Right in the heart of the city
Another kid from downtown - you see
Born to live in sorrow
I owe you nothing and that's how it is gonna be
By the morning - it's over.

Kingdom Dark


Run, you better run as far as you can
Why - I'm gonna die and nobody cares
Stop wastin' my time, I'm gonna fly high
You'll find out, the way to survive - follow the light
tonight

Watch your steps, it's Kingdom Dark
There is fear behind your back
Help me out or let me in
Watch me die for someone's sin

Out, somebody shouts, but who - I can't see
Age, blesses to the rage, callin' for me.

Land of Broken Hearts



See a thousand bodies crakin' 'n' fallin' back
Rows of loaded weapons ready to attack
Sharp pain screams like heel in a victim's eyes
Wanna say to everyone - promises were lies

And here we go again, back to back
round and 'round
And here we go again, back to back
One shot, buddy, and you're hittin' the ground

Land of borken hearts
One more shot and another friend's gone
Land of broken hearts
Pray to your god, 'cos the killing's begun

See a million facs - can you let it go
Try to stop this bloody rain paintin' on the snow
blood, death - all around - livin' on the edge
Look smashed flesh and bones prayin' for revenge.

Land of Broken Hearts



See a thousand bodies crakin' 'n' fallin' back
Rows of loaded weapons ready to attack
Sharp pain screams like heel in a victim's eyes
Wanna say to everyone - promises were lies

And here we go again, back to back
round and 'round
And here we go again, back to back
One shot, buddy, and you're hittin' the ground

Land of borken hearts
One more shot and another friend's gone
Land of broken hearts

See a million facs - can you let it go
Try to stop this bloody rain paintin' on the snow

Look smashed flesh and bones prayin' for revenge.

One by One



I've always been the perfect man for fightin'

I've always been the one who'd never lose

Get up'n'play - It used to be exciting

A chance to win - but there is no excuse

But now I feel I've spent my life for nothing

no chances left - confusions like a rain

One step ahead won't help - I'm losin' something

Another victory will bring another pain

And I feel like a stranger - lost and found

In the heat of the danger - another time around

One by one - we're fallin' on the burnin' ground

One by one - keep movin' round 'n' round

One by one - just fallin' like shootin' stars

One by one - we'll just rust behind bars




I'm on track - no matter how I'm movin'

From light to light - another dusty place

No one around - aware of you're doin'

Forgotten hero - an unknown face

Straight through the heart - no pain

'cos there's nothin'

back to the past - just injuries insight

No way to stop - watch out, 'cos evil's laughin'

No use screamin' - it's sinkin' in the night

Take a look in the mirror - see if you're blind

Keep chasin' the hero - in another time.

Running wild



Running Wild

I am just a number, I don't know my name

Unknown faces - a part of the game

Out in the desert the madness begins

Who's talking mercy? We're playin' to win


Better run around, there's no easy way out

If you you loose - take the stand

So do whatever you can- again and again



Running wild like creatures of the night

We're born to run - we never trust the light

Running wild, we're so afraid to try

We're all alone and everyone is blind

Runing wild.




You'll start the fire and livin' on a lie

Rats get fat while good men die

They got you running to follow the track

You'll face the trouble with fear on your back

Stranded




I see a face in the night, why do I feel I'm in danger?
Image of me get pushed to the side, just by the eyes
stranger.

Anyway, all the faces I've seen,
Over and over again
Everytime, when the sun goes down,
Act the same - just the same
Stranded - so far away from home.
Stranded - I've made it happen all alone.
Stranded - so far away from home.
Stranded - in the eye of the storm.
(it's written all across the wall)

Open it up, turn it up - wild! Can you just give me a reason?
Livin' it up, give it up, wakin' up blind - leavin' yourself in a
prison

Anyway, all the places I've been,
Over and over again,
Everytime, when the lights goin' down,
Looks the same - over and over again.
Keep your head above the ground - trouble
wants you to drown.
Don't get pushed and kicked around - don't let
them put you down.
Someone'd like to see you fall - tear the sucker down
Let the whole world crash and burn - keep your
head above the ground.

Empires were built through the centuries drones
on somebodys flesh and on somebodys bones
Creating our needs while dumping what's left -
now nature's dying, it's choking to death
Tell me for how long
We're burning the sun, we'll tear down the mountain
and drink out the river 'til river'll run dry
We'll shoot at the stars, or torture the ocean
'til Earth will stop breathing and wind wouldn't fly
We've buried ourselves by building a tower
to climb up to heaven - we're falling to hell
We're burning the sun, we'll tear down this mountain
and drink out the river until the river runs dry
As we're gaining strength - the world's getting week
We're blowing away the remains as we speak
Another decade, we're pushing some more
Destroying the walls while we're closing the door
When the forest turns to desert, when the river turns to mud,
When the air becomes a treasure - who allowed to tear it all apart?

Kind of faraway country,million miles from our homes
Have no reason to be here - now, see how it goes
Sharing "wisdom and progress", but we're armed to the teeth
escalating this madness - tell me, why can't we leave?

'Coz we can't let go - no, we can't let go
can't let go - we just can't let go - ever

Every inch of their country we're proclaiming as free
'til the last of the natives have no places to be
Educating with fire, liberating with steel
pushing repatriation - do we care how they feel?

'Coz we can't let go - no, we can't let go
can't let go - we just can't let go
We're taking over 'coz we
can't let go - and never ever will
Can't let go - it;s just the way we're build
The only thing we know - until the final toll -
we'll never ever let go

Learned how to steal since that day - God, who knows?
Nexr scene : I shoot - cop's dead - boy, is THAT news...
"Big House" is waiting. You know how it goes -
sometimes you get the bear, sometimes the bear gets you.
Now I'm in pain - not a man, just a file,
biting my nails in the "Dance Hall" all day
Edge if the world's down that very last mile
where "Old Sparky" is waiting to fry me away

And now I'm standing on the edge of the world
Waving from the edge of the world
Look how I'm falling from the edge of the world
Screaming from the edge of the world
"I'm spilling my blood for my sins - or so it seems"

Talked to our priest, asked him - "Sell me your God
Is there a reward for being nailed to the cross?"
Son of the bitch kind of shrieks, than he laughed :
"If you'll make it to heaven, my son,
the pressure is off all the rest of us"
Killing is easy - I'm chained to my bed,
State pushed the button and murder's fulfilled
"It ain't no murder" - this old guard just said -
"good folks got murdere - white trash's just dead"

I'm waiting for you to deside on mercy or rage
Waiting - reaching out from the edge

A parished smile, a hidden tear
that sends a shiver down the spine - of joy and fear
A hasty move, uneven step
This show is on - you've learned it inside out, to death

A silent sigh, a stolen kiss
it's all - the miracle of life and goes like this
An empty stare, a final scream
It's live a never ending soap - or so it seems

Look what's going on - you are my witness
On the silver screen - my eye witness.

Another faceless man in gray set house on fire -
And he stayed 'til every single flat was burning
This guy just lauched his own attack -
Shot older woman in the back
He's not a pro, but he is learning
This terror lives in our fears - and it's growing

Playing the game of fear -
Wild on streets letting blindfolded steer
Playing the game of fear -
Run for your life 'cuz your last day is near' Just waiting

Somebody's in the mood for war
Which none of us have seen before
The rules are simple - random killing
Without a clue, without the cause -
We live in freedom, and because
That simple fact just hurt their feelings
Face this human waste, change the pace - 'cuz it's growing

Playing the game of fear -
Wild on the streets letting blindfolded stear
Playing the game of fear - sneaking behind like a snake.
Disappear! Playing the game of fear -
Feeding the war, and you're making it clear
Playing the game of fear -
Run for your life 'cuz your last day is near

A week to build the world - and now you're leavingw
Do you ever see the cards you're dealing?

Many times your ways are strange'n shallow
Makes me wonder if I'll ever follow you
Take that kid I've seen around, crying
Everytime I passed him felt like dying - but just a little bit
Trying to understand by whom he's hit

Look like kid;s been taking quite a beating,
maybe loved the hand that did the hitting
I'm sure the guy's so proud to be a father
and his son will live just like another one
Growing up in jail. Father,can you alert us when we fail?

Help us, God - help us find the way, save us
from ourselves - take that pain away.
Listen - help us, God

See, he never will forgive the hitter
Life just slipped him a pill - and it tastes bitter
Growing up in midless vino's talking
he will be convinced that he is walking
while crawling on his knees, hoping this is the only way it is

So help us, God - help us find the way, save us
from ourselves - take this pain away, take us
to your heart - guide us all the way, teach us
Help us, God - help us find the way, save us
Help us, God

Facing every window, 'round every corner
TV eyes are up and running, no one's gonna tell
Why nothing's ever sacred, nothing's ever private
Everything's exposed and all our values shot to hell

But no one seems to know (seems to know)
Which reality to show

Hunted, we're hunted down
We are hunted, hunted, hunted down

Catching any moment, taping every sentence,
Watching from above - some kind of legalized abuse
Any given second, every single minute
Analyzed, categorized for any later use

No one seems to know (seems to know)
Which reality to show

Hunted, we're hunted down
We are hunted, hunted, hunted down

Why God (so strong) took you away?
He forgot me along the way
(Taking you so) far away to heaven
Oh, but I'll pray

Love is (so strong) breaking my heart
Feels it's ready to fall apart
(The mercy of my) jaded heart is leaving
Oh, but I'll pray

You (I'm calling you)
Forgot me along the way
(It seems like so) far away you've let me
Oh, but I'll pray

But I, oh I will pray

Caviar and champagne, big golden rings and expensive cigars
Sweaty butts on a couch which cost as much at ticket to Mars
Phony smile... Those eyes as they pay an unbelievable price
For the right to decide what to do - foe me and you
House in France and a Benz -

You see, the whole world's right in their hands
Such a waste - Wicked Lounge's a happening place.

Balding guys - filthy richand every one's such a son of the bitch
Countrys sold, countrys bought.
They're trading wars and can you tell me why not?
Write a check - or pass? It's just as easy as scratching your ass
What is right? What is wrong?
Pay the price and it won't take too long
To decide what is right thing to do - for me and you
Maybe this makes you sick

You see, the point is their wallet's too thick
Such a waste - Wicked Lounge's a remarkable place
Dearest God, please get pissed -
I'm sure that none of these jerks will be missed
Such a waste - Wicked Lounge 's a wonderfull place

Another fight - another story.
I cannot choose, I'm always playin too much.
Days runs to night, turns off the glory.
Somebody's looses, somebody looks out of touch.

The colors are dark, but I hope to get luck on my side,
My sprit lost - I'm cry my heart out.
10 000 years have passed and what have we learned?
We're doin' worse - illusion's all 'round -
My life's the same as many lifetimes ago...

Day in, day out - I'll be alright,
Day in, day out - I feel like shoutin' it out.

I'm stranger in town, tryin' to make some connections,
My future and past are desperate wreck.
I'm starin' at mirrors and my my own reflection,
So rashly and slowly stickin' a knife in my back...
