Marching through the jungle
Small change to survive
Shrapnell fire's pounding
Men must leave their lifes
Corpses fill the graves
They are defaced, they are bloated
Mutilated limbs
And no one knows from whom they are
Treated as if they're garbage
No one sheds a tear
They die without honour
Get burried with no name
They die without honour
Everyone's the same
Back from hell again
Not a chance is given
Screaming from the gutter
Die just like the others
Corpses fill the graves
They are defaced, they are bloated
Mutilated limbs
And no one knows from whom they are
Treated as if you're garbage
No one sheds a tear
They die without honour
Get burried with no name
They die without honour
Where do we go?
Wake up people!
We're on a deadrace
There is no time!
How can you believe it or trust it?
This system's proved that it's absurd
Settings signs
He tried to wake them up
Open up their eyes
But they don't even listened
They were all too busy
Facing just the end of the day
They never thought of tomorrow
Yes I know
More you'll ever will!
Maybe I scare you
I reflect what scared me!
Why do you all baffle my warning?
You'd better let this in your life!
Prosecution
For he'd disturbed their dreams
Distorting his speech
Being here on his own, now
With that vision he had seen
Yes I know, he ran out of mind

Searching - for competence
Dreaming - of innocence
Finding - no consequence
Moving around
Without a doubt
Betray the crowd
Showing ways out
Breeding - the nothingness
Feeding - the loneliness
Killing - the happiness
Ruling the lands
Guilty as sin
Talk with their hands
Playing to win
There's no shame for
Their greed to make more
[instrumental]
When you'll come back home again
Weary from the fight
I will nurse your wounds and I'll
release you from your weights
You must be hungry and
There's blood upon your hands
So please come in and I will cure your fever
Why don't you rest your head
You long for warmth I bet
You needn't worry of a thing when I'm near
(He's the cure)
I'm the cure
I'm the cure
What can just light up your heart
When you're in the dark
What just makes privation worth
What's dearer to a man
To see this face again
To touch this body and
To feel the blood pulsating in your veins
Your hunger will be fed
For every tear you've shed
You'll get the threefold pay in just one long night
(He's the cure)
I'm the cure
[by M. Mussorgski]
[bonus track on CD]
Caught in Eternity
where you be lost
in a dream
Where you can see what we forgot
where you can be a kind of god
unchained and free as it was thought
and then awake up just to see
a Symphony of Agony
the Insanity of Reality
Crying soldiers
Bursting bunkers
Creeping humans dying
Alone on this battlefield
so called live lost
full of hate
Nothing to see we all forgot
Nothing will be left by god
Outside a dream nightmare controlled
no need to wake up face the
Symphony of Agony
the Insanity of Reality
Dark clouds flying
Blood sun burning
Cold moon crying
Last men dying
Wiped out
The pride of mankind a threat, I am sorry
will lead to nothing
compromising evidence out of the past
Just disillusion
No sweet surrender
outside the inside
mutilated aspiration
ease of mind
One last solution
clear up confusion now
Open your mind.
Don't leave your dream
And apprehend what I could mean.
[Khachaturian]
I'm given order to survive
No way to spare the other's life
The battle must be finished now
We'll purificate this damned town
Kill the enemy
I've struggled hard without success
I gave them all my very best
The again is now I'm kicked aside
I would be starved if I won't fight
We embody the depravity
Those ones propriety
They'll curse the day they're born when
We've got them under fire
Screams, lonely in the night
Deadly torture, just remember
War captivity
Fellows on your side
Blood - spurting out his neck
While his head is rolling to the ground
And his dying corpse's
vincing at my feet
And the torturer said to me
The next one could be you
And I told him all the things
My comrades planned to do
Screams, lonely in my room
Wake up in cold sweat like every night
I can't get these things out of my head
Mad, I got nearly mad
With this lack of sleep I can't get clear
Help me in my pain
I am shell shocked
Every night it's just the same
I can't rest my soul
I'm the one who is to blame
No justice for all
'cause then we would fall
while famish for justness
(we) starved by lies
No jury in sight
No chance for a might
this poison of fear
so far and so near
small taste of a lost
of what we forgot
I've tasted the blood
in all that we've got now
and lie for
but no ones there
who takes care
who takes care
everywhere
Scorn,
for all human rights
the reason of deeds
declaring of fights
Greed,
the lost of all doubts
moral ran to seed
to rule and decide
Fear chaos is near
last silent cry
search for a why
and our science
in obedience
still tell stories
last convulsions
of a
wrong way - end of mankind
System of corruption
established by the fear.
Build up out of blindness
of human naivety
Rising of the totalitarianism
First - they will take your mind
fill it up with lies.
Then possess your life
by your unawareness.
Depraved imbued with hate.
Structure of assumption,
allowed by ignorance.
Unreal mind obstruction,
as well passivity.
Parting from the freedom
sold as smart price.
Thoughts - coagulate to ice,
farewell to known life,
dehumanized
the final alteration.
Obey that
what they pray.
Frozen tears now,
we do all know.
Subdued by fear how
behave is right now.
Penetrate the reality
followed by a hazy fear.
They create insanity
All alone, I feel cold inside
Loneliness, I'm the only one to know
I am one with my armchair
(In memories
All night I'm playing for you
I've
Though I know you won't thank me
seen
What else is left to do?
all this)
It is here
I will defend you
Near and nearer
Fight it back
One foot in the grave
I have seen this all before
Memories, memories of tomorrow
In the grave
I have seen this all before
Dear me
Memories of tomorow
Once I was dead, I know I'llbe
I've diffracted it all on myself
Oh, can't this chalice pass by me
(I'm thinking
Whay can't it be someone else
back of
I've got to pay for the world now
what
If not, There's no one to do
will be)
It is here
I will defend you
Near and nearer
Fight it back
One foot in the grave
I hav
e seen this all before
Memories, memories of tomorrow
In the grave
I have seen this all before
Dear me
(Music by M.Mussorgski, Lyrics by Bjoern Eklund & Doug Lee)
(10:20)
Subterranean sound of hypernatural voices
Appearance of the spirit of darkness, followed by that of Satan himself
Glorification of Satan and celebration of the black mess the Sabbath revealed
At the night of the orgius the bell of the village church, sounding in the distance, disperses the spirit of darkness
Daybreak
With tired eyes, too soared to rest
I feel so cold inside
This weariness! But I can't sleep
It keeps me stay awake, oh, why?
Through the old window
>From out of space
He must have seen it
Long time ago
I ran away from
The Rue d'Auseil
Where he banned our downfall
In other dimensions
And he gave his life away for the world to live on
What have we learned?
[instrumental]
[R. Hubert]
[Genesis]
On the air
Words of wisdom spread across this land
And nod your head in faithful trust in me
So senseless - there's no doubt about it
So senseless - when you hear the latest news
So senseless - you'll accept my opinion
So senseless - as plain facts and truth
TV sets and the radio
We bring real life to your homes
This is the question of trust
Politicians
Talking 'bout affairs that don't concern you
Just close your eyes and drift away
So senseless - identical faces
So senseless - the same stupid talk
So senseless - let's fight for entertainment
So senseless - then have a drink at the bar
Switch on the TV
And you will find life's som much brighter with us
This is the question of trust
Come home from work
Feeling weary and out
We kill your boredom and thoughts
This is the question of trust
Pay some more bucks
For a fifty-inch screen
Our second hand world will seem real
Your tired eyes cannot light yourpath
This weariness! It's hard to stay awake
Time goes by. You can't afford to waste away
Your mission needs your strenghts
In the dar it began
An irrational ban
Irreversable curse
I'm the only one left
With the might to fight back
In the battle of sound
Can't you tell, that you nearly missed
You've reached the end and it's coming strong
Fight your fear, no, you can't escape
Your fate, you're abued to justify it
Who created what I hear?
Every night all my feras
Stick together as one
Who composed all these themes
That pursue me in dreams?
Messengers of downfall
Age of agony
5th dimension nightmare
Death from the Rue d'Auseil
If Monsieur Blandot knew?
It was the time we cried for justice loud
We did and felt so proud
Then they start to cut the moral out
Allright, we have allowed
And they start to sort the people out
We looked away and had no doubt
See, when he first came it looked like a sign
He promised to save us from crime
So we thought everything would be fine
And he heals all our wounds - but...
Then he starts saying
doubters are waiting
He talked about
the only one
he had become
the only thing
that we could win
and pray to him - so pray to him
And it seems to be
that hear now, fear now
We, we didn't see
the tears now, tears now
And could it really be that we
we're never free or meant to be - see
We called him healer, see what we got
We were believers, see what we got
And now we cry for freedom loud
They laugh and felt so proud
Then we tried to turn the wheel around
Too late, we're not allowed
See, when he first came it looked like a sign
He promised to save us from crime
So we thought everything would be fine
He heals all our wounds - but...
Then he starts saying
doubters are waiting
He talked about
the only one
he had become
the only thing
that we could win
and pray to him - so pray to him
And it seems to be
that here now, fear now
We, we didn't see
the tears now, tears now
And could it really be that we
we're never free or meant to be - see
We called him healer, see what we got
We were believers, see what we got
Can't they imagine that we (don't) need no more
no more fighting
'cause what is it for
They all fooled us
These stupid rulers
Those who followed
soon were swallowed
And what they told us has never been untrue Don't they feel
that there are other things to do
What are they there for
If they rule no more
What are they there for
Time to end the suffering
Out of nothing something
And we will not discuss it anymore
Time to stop the fighting
Nowhere left for hiding
And on all of our leaders we wage war
Time to stop the talking
Destiny is knocking
And you can't run away from the door
All these discussions about these stupid wars
Only talking
as if they can't do more
What the past shows
Is when fear grows
All these leaders
Talk like preachers
Then they move people like puppets in a store
Without a feeling
They will move some more
What are they there for
If they rule no more
What are they there for
Time to end the suffering
Out of nothing something
And we will not discuss it anymore
Time to stop the fighting
Nowhere left for hiding
And on all of our leaders we wage war
Time to stop the talking
Destiny is knocking
Sacrifice the innocent
Free the guilty - Where is the sense
Nothing certain, nothing left
You sleep heavy, dream of death
They kill for gods which they say talk to them
I've seen some pictures we should show to him
Just talking we all know the ones
Unable to find solutions
No honour, only in the past
Remember that your vote is cast, vote is cast
My weary eyes weap so full of pain
I've seen too much, been too much to complain
Promises broken and unfullfilled
Taxes rising, can't believe
Soon they'll tax the air we breathe
Pay for something, pay again
We're all victims in the end
Maybe they'll kill us for what we believe
Or what has happened in past centuries
Unable to find solutions
Just looking at television
We're getting older, waiting for change
We did not realize the truth once again
Hello, people, this is Jason back again on channel 5, here are the news:
Mr. President declared his mind for peace and admitted the Contra's
support
..All we need is economical development!
A Congress member said: "He's wise..."
All I hear is lies (Guns for freedom)
But they're true lies
We are god damn manipulated
We are so guilty at their truth
It's our duty to be true to ourselves
They move the mountains, they force nature on it's knees
And they are your personal gods
Paper's patient, you can print the way you want it
Black on white - the reborn truth
There's danger in their speech, born from unholy greed
Here's a weird tale of madness
About what happened to me
I led a life full of luxury
Till I broke down on my knees
Cadillacs and furcoats
A mansion by the sea
Then lady luck walked away
Left me in misery
Once I Believed
This couldn't happen to me
But now
But now
Everything has changed
A six inch blade cut through my hand
On that fatal day
Then the doctor told me
Slow death'd come my way
My woman went away people ignoring me
Razorblades in my cornbread
The folks in town wished I was dead
Once I Believed
This couldn't happen to me
But now
But now
Everything has changed
Go away
We don't want you around
In this town
Don't want you
Don't want you...
What they say
They don't want me around
In this town
Don't want me
Lights turned low
Curtains let down
Ain't noone else in sight
Waiting for you
Just for you
Four walls get closer every day
We have been friends for so long
And noone will ever know
Like the phoenix from the ashes
You come to haunt my dreams
And I think I know
You'll never let me go
You'll never let me go
You're a part of me
You belong to me
You know my secrets
All my emotions
Nothing I can hide
We'll stay together
Cause we can't stay apart
Though I know someday we're through
We have been friends for so long
And noone will ever know
Like the phoenix from the ashes
You come to haunt my dreams
And I think I know
You'll never let me go
You'll never let me go
You're a part of me
You belong to me
Now you've gone too far
Now you've grown too strong
The ceiling is caving in
You've been here for much too long
Dark walls all around I see
Getting closer, closer to me
Won't let you go -
I got a split-up mind
Can't let you go -
Ooh, you drive me insane
Won't let you go -
Please, please let me go
Can't let you go -
Cause you're killing me
Won't let you go -
Why do you do that to me
Can't let you go -
Why don't you set me free
Won't let you go -
I'm paralyzed in my bed
Can't let you go -
Pain's creeping right throug my head
Won't let you go -
Why don't you leave me be
Can't let you go -
You are the death of me
Way back in ancient days
I took the shape of a golden idol
They knelt in front of me
Worshipped me, prayed to me
I saw the greed in their eyes
Longing - fame and fortune
Yearning - Wine and women
Craving - gold and happiness
Demanding - eternal life
Ever since time began
I have been the curse of men
I saw them burning down
Cities and countries
They killed millions of men
To please me, to calm me down
I saw the greed in their eyes
Longing - fame and fortune
Yearning - Wine and women
Craving - gold and happiness
Demanding - eternal life
I've been around for so long
Their faith and devotion make me strong
Longing - fame and fortune
Yearning - Wine and women
Craving - gold and happiness
Demanding - eternal life
They've prayed at my altar
With heads bowed real low
And I've been around
Whereever they go
Whereever they go
Until the end
The end of time
There's no escape
How I like your
Sacrifices
Ever since time began
Transgressor I am
The one
Force of the future
Control
The new ways are stronger
Obey
(your) Weakness is (my) power
Downfall
I'm the transgressor - Predecessor
Overstepper - Strong aggressor
Put your ways behind you
They only have confined you
They are the chains that bind you
Needn't I remind you
I am the tempter
Extravagant my ways
The worid is my
Menagerie
Freedom the dream of
The weak
Knowledge the scheme of
The meek
Boundaries of this world
Behind
Apes walking upright
Mankind
Transgressor born to lead
I will satisfy your greed
Soon you'll understand
The power I command
Transgressor the one
The process has begun
Soon you'll understand
The power I command
Reality is gone
The new weys are strong
He was thinking in out
and started writing it down
the crazy thoughts in his head
he was on a roll
to find his self control
but it was taking it's toll
instead
meanwhile outside
as the normal crowd
did their daily thing
they were caught in a swing
when they looked at their leaders
they were full of doubt
he couldn't figure them out
it was a journey down
into his deepest dreams
against the normal streams
wasn't totally clear
but he knew it was here
what he was trying to be
yeah
and outside his door
was the camera light
that devoured the night
what a terrible sight
it was spilling grace
and wisdom over the crowd
made them feel so proud
walking - a member of the crowd
talking - chit-chat without a doubt
feeling - cancelled from the normal life
living - on the shadow side
out of the dark - I will dive into the light
I will
- gonna rise up from the crowd
I will
- be a star in TV land
that's right
- be a hero for a day
I will
- gonna fill the headline news
yes me
- with the things that I will do
solution
- for their senseless talk
I will
- be a star in TV land
- shadow walker -
silent dreamings, silent dreamings
and with a final thought
of this new glory he sought
he felt the time drawing near
so then he started to dress
he knew he wanted his best
took a look what he had
in here
when everything was in place
he finally put on his face
a last and lovely smile
keep it on for a while
then he started to dtroke
the pistol's cold black cheek
it was shiny and sleek
walking
- a member of the crowd
talking
- ch
it-chat without a doubt
feeling
- cancelled from the normal life
living
- on the shadow side
out of the dark - I will dive into the light
I will
- gonna rise up from the crowd
I will
- be a star in TV land
that's right
- be a hero for a day
I will
- g
onna fill the headline news
yes me
- with things that I will do
solution
- for their senseless talk
I will
- be a star in TV land
Wading through the oceans of minced dreams
while they puke some little pieces of
surreal truth to feed the stupid crowd
The endless kiss of him that made them proud
so the rigid lens gives you
the perfect view
into the heated
heart of bloody polished steel
as they started dancing (on mutilated humanity)
you can hear them paying homage to their
unknown fear
See what we have given you
See what we can do for you
We just do what we are told
We must do what we are told
for religion we are sold
We just do what we are told
for religion we are sold
all we touch is dead and cold
And while they exorcise what they believe
always flagging honour and justice
vindication for their blinded greed
so that you can play the innocent
'cause you learned how to behave
in a virtuell world that's
full of mutilated dreams
and as they started dancing (on mutilated humanity)
you can hear them paying homage to their
unknown fear
See what we can give for you
See what we have done for you
all we have is here before you
In this night it happened I
Woke up early, I don't know why
The world drowned an an ominous
Silence, in a nervous rest
And I climbed up the old stairs
To the room of Erich Zann
What I saw, I can't forget
Through the old window, overdimensional gate
This deluge of music, and Zann laid down his life!
The bow was fiddling with no help
His glassy eyes stared with no life
In whirlwinds of unheard cadences
It came over us blind defenceless
All I know is I ran in panic
I've never seen this place again
What I saw, I can't forget
Through the old window, overdimensional gate
You dirty bastard
I still hear your laughter
In my mind
You torturing demon
Your victoms are screaming
At your crimes
Like creatures in cages
We wait for the slaughter
To begin
So hungry and thirsty
We're all at your mercy
Not again
We won't bow before you
Instead we'll ignore your
Oversight
You beat us and doubt us
You can live without us
Parasite
Wounded and weak
But the truth I speak
And I know what it means
To be a true believer
Bodies piled high
Against a blood red sky
I'm not afraid to die
'Cause I'm a true believer
Late in the night
You sneak in out of sight
An incubus
White pieces of bodies
Lay putred and rotting
Around us
In a prison of doubt
But you can't figure out
How we indure
My minds extremes
have been ripped at the seams
But I know what it means
To be a true believer
Bodies piled high
Against a blood red sky
I'm not afraid to die
'Cause I'm a true believer
Living and pain become one in the same
You've got ice in your veins
I don't believe you
I don't believe parasites
In the pain of the day
Seems you can't get away
From your cold stare
As the evening begins
I find my only friend
Is a nightmare
Like creatures in cages
We wait for the slaughter
To begin
So hungry and thirsty
We're all at your mercy
Not again
Just faces with no names
It's always the same game
Endeavor
What will you do when
We come back to haunt you
Forever
When your minds extremes
Have been ripped at the seams
Then you'll know what it means
To be a true believer
Bodies piled high
Against a blood red sky
I'm not afraid to die
'Cause I'm a true believer
Living and pain become one in the same
The old bum - over there - holds a sign saying
The only way for you to live - never stop trying
A little boy - hands a note - over to me
The message there - on that note - is simple and clear
Don't ever leave the path - you have been walking on
Don't ever change your ways, your ways - of getting along
No chance for you - to escape - from your destination
Choose between good and bad - and make your own decision
Just be true - to yourself - and things will be coming
Don't ever try - to make them, to make them - smile at you
For in return they'll turn their back on you
A prophecy - that's what I say
And you'll find out - some day
A chosen one - that's what you are
Some day you're bound to find your way
You will fight - in a world - that don't seem real
You'll have to fight in that world - you don't believe in
Don't you try to resist for things will be coming
Hit by a car - in the streets of a deserted town
Wake up in dreams wondering - where you're around
A voice keeps calling
A voice keeps calling
A voice keeps calling
A voice keeps calling
I will be lord of this land
I will be ruler of this land
No one can stop me anyway
This will all be mine some day
Run - Run - Run
Run - run - run
Run - run - run
Run - run - run
Run but you can't get away -
Run but you won't change your fate
Don't try to hide away -
I'll wait for you some day -
And you can't run away
Away from your destiny
You just can't deny
The part you're bound to play
Now you can't deny
I'm a member of the motley crew
Pleasing the rich and kings
When I make 'em laugh
Nobody even cares
What's inside my mind
Don't seem to get what I'm looking for
And I can't stand it anymore
Can't you see
Can't you see
I sit and wait til the big boss's calling me
How I wish I could hideaway
You'll see me smile
But I'm hurt inside
How I wish I could break away
I can't stand it anymore
Don't wanna play the fool no more
Gotta break away
Gotta break away
When you gaze at me it's like
A look into a mirror
And here is what you're bound to see
Someone like you
Leading a kind
Of life that's killing me
I'm gonna get what I'm yearning for
Break out and play my part no more
That's what I say
That's what I say
Don't drag me down
Don't push me 'round
Don't drag me down
Don't push me 'round
I'm gonna get what I'm yearning for
Break out and play my part no more
That's what I say
That's what I say
Don't drag me down
Don't push me 'round
Don't drag me down
Don't push me 'round
I'm gonna get what I'm yearning for
Break out and play my part no more
That's what I say
That's what I say
Don't drag me down
Don't push me 'round
Don't drag me down
Don't push me 'round
I'll be just what I wanna be
Wanna be - desperately
I'll be just what I wanna be
Blind by science, stained by blood
You look down to this global cage
filled up with misery and pain
(presented as) a coffin for your punishment
While the religion gives the sense
in praying to an imperfect might
Accepting the mutilated
bodies of little babies
as payment for the luxury of
a so called real and poor church
Somewhere they lost the meaning
twisted it never seeing
there's no justification
for this runaway creation
Nothing is true and nothing is false
while no one can build or destroy
worlds in less than seven days
Nothing is gained and nothing is lost
It's all a game that has no rules
Reality is insepted by
reality so all we see is
created by electron waves
that flow out of a living screen
The truth is portrayted just like a show
where hate rules all the winners take nothing
While a hypocritical humanity
sends frozen kisses to a
tortured people lawn-mowing
the endless mind of
different thoughts projected
by clean white coats in a
castle of science no one
can control and what's more
Nothing is true and nothing is false
while one can build or destroy
worlds in less than seven days
Nothing is gained and nothing is lost
It's all a game that has no rules
Brahma made it happen long ago - apemen came
Vishnu had created all we know - he explored
Chakravartin's turning the world's wheel - he found out
Shiva now is coming for the kill - he destroyed
Shiva's return
Population's growning day by day - time for war
Chemistry will make us all insane - dead is life
Industry's polluting what we breathe - grass's still green
Nuclear disasters bring disease - don't panic
Time goes by - It's a daily war
One more crime - Against life itself
Mother earth - Nature don't need men
Shiva's here - We can't survive without her
Brahma made it happen long ago - you don't need
Vishnu had created all we know - to have fear
Chakravartin's turning the world's wheel - for your soul
Shiva now is coming for the kill - but your health
Don't believe all that you see
'Cause it can never be
Truth could be there in disguise
So never trust your eyes
Wandering aimless through time
Wondering what I will find
So many years on my own
No place I can call home
A dome upon the hill - stare
What can that building be - sound
I hear a melody - look
That's my philosophy - wait
The truth is for the brave -
And it's like a tidal wave now
Entities all dressed in white
No end in sight
Some giants, some little ones
Where are they from
Packed inside this mega - dome
Why have they come
Where are all these giants from
Why have they come
My eyes are playing tricks on me
These things I really can't believe
They've got thhe heads of human men
And the bodies of machines
Who are these anroid masterminds
And what will all this mean for me
Possessing knoledge so incredible
I know They speak the truth indeed
Can this be a fantasy
Mirage of what I want to see
A sanctuary can it really be
Just follow me - I've got the key
So follow me - You will see
Just follow me - I've got the key - So follow me
You will see - So follow me - I've got the key
You will agree - I guarantee - Sanctuary
Just follow me - And you will find
Safe inside - Out of sight - And out of mind
Each of us cell inside
All satisfied
A body of perfection
And we are one
Entities dressed in white
No end in sight
The plase I long to be Sanctuary
The giants paid a high price
For their artificial life
They guard the truths of all mankind you see
So intellect can thrive
Condemned to be the slaves of time they are
They can never touch or feel
Things are never what they seem to be
Before the night is over
You'll be initiated too
You are elected for the world
You must be prepared when the time will come
Listen to the prophecy now
You're given from the great oldones
The music in your hands is a bastion
Why me? Tell me out there
Isn't it deceit man? Pay the price
Believe me! I am to weak
You have got an inner strenght, man. Ability's your might
Deceive me! Take my doubts away
You have got no choice man. It's the only way
What should I think of this?
'cause much too many have failed this way
Maybe it's just another paralogism
And my mind fools me now
I listen to the prophecy now
That I'm given from the great oldones
The music in my hands could be a bastion
Why me? Tell me out there
Isn't it deceit man? Pay the price
Believe me! I am to weak
You have got an inner strenght, man. Ability's your might
Deceive me! Take my doubts away
I belong to those from somewhere,
nowhere, everywhere
we constructed your race
for a special task
at least you failed
you'll be wiped out
without a warning he appeared
in between all of these grey hired old men
we called them the world presidents
they ask him for just ten more years
and so he granted it
freedom peace and all the
things we'd whised before
were no longer visions
they had all come true
on the tenth year
the world awaits
from nowhere again he appears
and told us once more we had failed
you were not built for love and peace
you were to be the killer race
without emotion
it's not for you to understand
the reason for the things we planned
so we will erase what you've done
because you've failed once again
Now it came so far (with me)
I was really scared (ha, ha)
Today I'm risen from this sphere
I was to see it at once
This is my kingdom, I'm bestof it all
Today's messiah, it's me
I, king, will come (beat me on the cross) This is why I'm born
They practice their rites (wake up!)
Real ridiculous (what pope?)
They believe that Jesus enforced all evil
Nothing could harm them no more
But chaos rules, they come from outta space
Come for enslaving the world... but
I, king, will come (beat me on the cross)
Hear them sing the tales of glory
About a man so brave and wise
He subdued the hated tyrant
But he's unlucky, hear his cries
Why, why, why
All of mine are dead and gone (why, why)
Oh, my absence was too long (why, why, why)
Bloody vengeance's what I swear (why, why)
Heroes grief, it makes me stong!
In the world's most darkest hour
When he prevents the fall of man
He shakes off the yoke of evil
He is the saviour of all land
Why, why, why
These betrayers killed my love (why, why)
But there soon will come the day (why, why, why)
For their treason they must pay (why, why)
Heroes grief, it makes me strong!
"After Karlaak had fall he went through the forest of Troos where he met
Zarozinia, daughter of the fallen king of the Dreaming City. He tried to
part himself from his two glorious swords "Stormbringer" and "Blade of
Sorrow", and was punished by the gods with the knowledge about his
destiny. He had to face the bitter truth of being an immortal hero
In the shadow of our industry
we constructed all these big machines
symbolizing what we want to be
superpowers of insanity
accepting all of this bureaucracy
content to be another wana be
obscured by all of this complexity
consumed as fuel for even bigger dreams
little voices saying please sign here
you know these children are too young my dear
and the endless sound of moving parts
replaced the rhythm of their straining hearts
while the wheels continue turning
we still believe in sold out learning
in the center are these blinded eyes
masked by a melted fire out of ice
answer finally came to me
inside a plastic strawberry
creeping through your cancered skin
remember that your life is a sin
lost like a heartbeat
we will never heat
caught by the house of coldness
we all fear
and in our blindness we can't see
the ghost of all we used to be
in the daylight of our destiny
swimming in reflected vanity
so you smoke another cigarette
one more thing in life that you'll regret
while the wheels continue turning
we still believe in sold out learning
in the center are these blinded eyes
masked by a melted fire out of ice
lost like a heartbeat
we will never hear
caught by the house of coldness
we all fear
and in our blindness we can't see
"Oh, god, I'm so fed up with this conceited talks about right and unright,
with their so called important topics while they cannot
even look over the rim of their coffee cups..."
All they hear is their flesh
talkin' 'bout the daily cash
If I could, b'lieve me, I'd wipe them out
If I do, with a smile
I would free the world meanwhile
but, the hell, I can't kill them all
They are ruled by greed (talking against walls)
Property's their god (fight the dumbness)
Lazy bumps without mind
for the real world they are blind
They got heads just to crash in their teeth
Listen here, there's no place
for this garbage of our race (mankind)
and what's more, for shame, they rule our land
Simple minded creeps (if they would know)
Banal in their deeds (I can't get through)
Hatred, hatred, hatred (so if you want it)
Hatred, hatred, hatred (so if you want it)
Hatred, hatred, hatred (so if you want it)
Hatred, hatred, hatred
Lazy bumps without mind
for the real world they are blind
but, the hell, I can't kill them all
Listen here, there's no place
for this garbage of our race (mankind)
and what's more, for shame, they rule our land
Simple minded creeps (talking against walls)
They are ruled by greed (I can't get through)
Hatred, hatred, hatred (so if you want it)
Hatred, hatred, hatred (so if you want it)
Hatred, hatred, hatred (so if you want it)
Gates far behind
Priests out of mind
Endless the night
Nocturnal flight
Eyes in the dark,
Wait for the spark
Waste everywhere...
Peril in sight
Pray for the light
Phantoms in black
Mutants attack
Bareskin and bone
Hunger the hone
No apathy
For what I see
The tunnel in the mountainside
Looks like a place to hide
Descending into darkness now
A chamber deep inside
Days of betrayal
Automation
Screen coming on
Ancient machines
What does it mean
Bio chip here
Message of fear
Shocking the view
Morbid and true
A chance to save the human race
Chaos we can avoid
A mighty power out of place
That has to be destroyed
Days of betrayal
The end of the begining of
What is but never really was
Now press on and go beyond
I could try a million times
And cry until the end of time,
Originally performed by Genesis
Holy Mother of God
You've got to go faster than that to get to the top.
Dirtly old mountain
All covered in smoke, she can turn you to stone
So you better start doing it right
Better start doing it right.
You're halfway up and you're halfway down
And the pack on your back is turning you around.
Throw it away, you won't need it up there, and remember
You don't look back whatever you do.
Better start doing it right.
On your left and on your right
Crosses are green and crosses are blue
Your friends didn't make it through.
Out of the night and out of the dark
Into the fire and into the fight
Well that's the way the heroes go, Ho! Ho! Ho!
Through a crack in Mother Earth,
Blazing hot, the molten rock
Spills out over the land.
And the lava's the lover who licks your boots away, Hey! Hey! Hey!
If you don't want to boil as well,
B-B-Better start the dance
D-D-Do you want to dance with me.
The music's playing, the notes are right
Put your left foot first and move into the ight.
The edge of this hill is the edge of the world
And if you're going to cross you better start doing it right
Better start doing it right.
Ambitious
I am
Gonna save this world
Drums beating
Soldiers marching
Don't stand in our way
Over the hills
We march
The final showdown is near
I am chosen
To be
Saviour of this world one day
Marching on
Through thisland
My dreams
They'll all come true
I will never ever fail
Marching on
Through thisland
My dreams
They'll all come true
I will never ever fail
We just do what's right
We will never die
The world ain't real
The weak one cries
Soon he'll face the truth
Over the hills
We march
The final showdown is here
Dawn is near
But what I see
I simply can't believe
Soldiers, soldiers, soldiers everywhere
As far as I can see
Billions of enemies
Bound to tear my world apart
Now that I face the facts
I gotta realize
Something must have been wrong from the start
I can see
Them smile at me
I know the end is near
That's the curse of reality
Curse of reality -
You have got me down
You have shot me down
Sweet leaf, why did you turn around
I'm stumblin' snowblind through the trees
But what is this, that stands before me
It's an iron man of the grave
Laughing and turning the cross upside down
BLACK SABBATH
War pigs, the snout full of rat salad
They march to the electric funeral, stirin' the blood
The wizzard, wearing the boots of mine
You are my wishing well in my paranoid dreams
Laughing and turning the cross upside down
BLACK SABBATH
Back home (in hell)
Back in the streets again
Jail's gates opened and
someone wished me good luck
Where should I run to now
I once knew someone
Don't remember his name
I'm decades too late
(I) don't live today
Now I'm back again - in hell
I'm back home
I'm back home in hell
Bang! someone shot next door
Someone robbed the store
Raging war in the streets
Living undignified
Misanthropicy
Aimless creatures like me
The times, they have changed
I'm still the same
Now I'm back again - in hell
I'm back home
Time - passing as the world changed it's face
Past - all that used to be not a trace
Now - all that was is gone can't you see
Always questions
What - happened to our world different now
Why - answers can't be found tell me how
Now - dissolution is all I see
As I meandered this world I saw strange faces
I've seen some gastly bizarre phenomenon
Such desolation and pain I can't describe it
But always something was there that led me on
Never saw place like this
How can such a place exist
Brotherhood of happiness
Inviting me I can't resist
How can such a thing exist
Inviting me I can't resist
Brotherhood of happiness
Never saw place like this
Never saw a...
The priests gave us reason
Brought hope to our season
They gave us the will to servive
It's healthy and clean here
It's just like a dream here
Just thank the priests you're alive
I had a vision - then it was gone
Something there I just can't put my finger on
Crys - from the other side calling me
Lies - message from beyond curse the priests
Why - I don't understand
Share the feast
Cataclismic
Dark - figures in the midst help denied
Death - tightening it's fist no reply
Rage - tell me what is this paradox
And as the people all dance in celebration
They seem so happy and so preoccupied
Somehow I don't understand this fascination
I think it all will be clear when I'm inside
Where did all these priests come from
What kind of men have you become
Serve and never question why
Worship Talons from the sky
What lies beyong the golden gate
A journey of uncertain fate
Serve and never question why
Serve and never question why
Question why
It's nicer that nice here
A real paradise here
It's really too good to believe
There's growing in knowing
And that's where I'm going
The gates are prepared to receive,
The pale sun spits a slow death down
to this blinded mankind
while the wooden horse of science
elevates a grey hell to the sky
So the little superbrains
declare madness for sense
and fear, the mother of
all social violence
eats tiny pieces of
normal life as tribute for
general apathy
The blue moon pukes compassion over
a world of concrete emotion
Researchers found some new lines
in their hymbooks and they read
So the little superbrains
confused by their control
now will this be the end
or be the new way
Final death - we will see
the future of - can it be
look into my eyes
Controlled by confusion
Confused by control
They feel like magicians
in our tortured world
Science now - the unstoppable
Weapon of - masterminds
Sacrificed - all the knowledge of
normal life - to their cause
Science
So the little superbrains
declare madness for sense
and fear, the mother of
all social violence
eats tiny pieces of
normal life as tribute for
general apathy
One last experiment
gives us a second sight
too late the mirror of
all that's be done in fright
is slowly steamed up by
one more network of lies
losing all control
Controlled by confusion
Confused by control
They feel like magicians
in our tortured world
Controlled by confusion
Five steps right
no place left to rest
inside nothing real
Fear - clean white coats around
Pain - angels might be found
Hate - final truth was told
Tears - freedom not allowed
Constrained limbs
cold blood all around as proof god is found
Fear - next one could be you
Pain - little gift for you
Hate - out of frozen eyes
Ruth - lamentable life
Darkness
somewhere lost screaming
inside first agony
Footfalls
the door gets open
your body is frozen
than you can see eyes, cold as ice
Laughing, crying, endless dying
Questions left no way to respond
Fear - clean white coats around
Pain - angels might be found
Truth - never-ending search
Lies - always by your side
Stumbling
sometimes you're creeping
Mind full of anxious fears
Strapped down
The blade well lighted
a final command
than you can see eyes, hateful eyes
Right time to tell you
what's their human right for
so that you can die for
Endless cries
their truth will be found
Fear - clean white coats around
Pain - little gift for you
Truth - never-ending search
Lies - always will be there
Finally
Their words are gently
Inside quite irony
Strapped down
your face well lighted
inside the mirror
Hunt him, go and chase him,
he's envoy of scum of earth.
Kill him, go and burn him,
law says that he has no rights.
He's deaf for truth the words
we're told by god.
Chase him, try to kill him,
god will be now on our site.
Stone him, have to burn him,
we must wipe out this disgrace
for sure.
He's deaf for words we've told.
who say we are weird?
who say we are weird?
who say they are?
Genocide - Holocaust - Slaughtering
Mystique reasons
for the glory of god
spending life's
while using words for bad deeds
never sad
Absolution in their heads.
For a god, they never had
Execution as contract,
slaughtering people never met.
Reasons find some reasons,
than go for another war.
Deflect, try to distract
that what we are going for.
Want more hole world control overall
who say we are weird?
who say we are weird?
who say they are?
Genocide - Holocaust
Shady reasons
for a strange way of live
trashing worlds
Consume as fuel for bad deeds
we've been told
Absolution in their head
for a god they never had
Execution as contract
Slaughtering people never met
Mystique reasons
For a strange way of live
trashing lives
while using words for bad deeds
Whoa, black betty (bam-ba-lam)
Whoa, black betty (bam-ba-lam)
Black betty had a child (bam-ba-lam)
The damn thing gone wild (bam-ba-lam)
She said, "i'm worryin' outta mind" (bam-ba-lam)
The damn thing gone blind (bam-ba-lam)
I said oh, black betty (bam-ba-lam)
Whoa, black betty (bam-ba-lam)
Oh, black betty bam-ba-lam

She's so rock steady bam-ba-lam
And she's always ready bam-ba-lam

Way down in alabam' bam-ba-lam
Well, she's shakin' that thing bam-ba-lam
Boy, she makes me sing bam-ba-lam
Whoa, black betty bam-ba-lam
Skull in my hands
Someone is mumbling in front of me
Nameless fear is all around
Don't believe what I was told
So I've found you
Condamned king of this pain
You are here
Look at me
Malignity
What you see
Eternity
Lord of fear
Can't you hear?
I sensed the spite
Behind your golden mask
Awkward years I rushed through
Try to find you
Lost myself in agony
Sentiments, walled in heart
And this
Hokey
Talking
what you
stand for
Freedom
Mankind
So I start a war
And silently
What they are dying for
And suddenly
Now I am blinded no more
And finally
Than I opened this door
it's you and me
Now I am blinded no more
And finally
Than I openend this door
it's you and me
Don't stare at me
as if I am dehumanized
There's a lot left to do
blow out candles
Can't you see it in my eyes
I am the one who take the lives
And your futile hoping
can't free all those
you love
mankind
So I start a war
And silently
What they are dying for
And suddenly
Now I am blinded no more
And finally
Than I opened this door
it's you and me
Now I am blinded no more
And finally
Than I openend this door
Bluebird in slowmotion
Disturbed by a silent cry
I will never hurt
'Cause I'm that what they deserved
I create what they should see, sense of my life
I hope you see that's true, look in my eyes
All that what seems to be, part of my art
Who else should have this might, create this glorious
Light, no oneshould stop me
See me acting gently
Hoping to safe the lost blue sky
Don't know any limits
I was ready...
Anxious
To know - wisdom
To know - wisdom
In the end going beyond the pale
Endless nodes beyond the means now
Bluebird with no motion
Hiding spot of thoughts
Can't clarify
Bluebird in motion
Hiding spot of thoughts
Can't clarify
Bluebird in motion
There must be something more
a missing line
Time will not change me
This will always hurt
'Cause that is what they deserve
Diving into darkness
Tasting frenzy
Crossing madness
Finally moved the skies
Into madness
Mashed by power
Breathing boundless might
Anxious
To know - wisdom
To know - wisdom
In the end going beyond the pale
Endless node beyond the means now
Free
All you see is part of my art
No one else has this might
I create this glorious light
Now see!
Can't you see this glorious might
My world full of wisdom
A small part of what you once lost
Wading through this desert ocean
I am talking with the wind
"See the world
beyond control"
Cataclysm
Abstract vision
Green collision
Can't see clear right now
Aberration
Twin sensation
Fear foul nations
Preoccupied downfall
Fading out these black white monkeys
I am now - reaching for this light
Lost of feel, last frozen motion
Endless nodes of what could be
Kings will come apparelled satin
Merchants dressed in tailored cloth
And a hero, shrouded in sorrow
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Strolling through the library
Build out of human idiocy
Smeared letters of democracy
Razed traces of humanity
Clarify it finally
Everything I felt as good
Experienced as part of truth
Just have to learn
How to accept
Conspiracy is just a word
Abstraction for what is not sold
Award
Last planets breathing but still no one knows what's
right?
A bleeding heart is mine
And all this veritable mutants - killing with a smile
White lily of the nile
And all this spat out rules, lawless - vapid painted
mall
A silent stone in time
Can't control
My hands and feet
Conditioned to be a human machine
Can't control
My thoughts and needs
Memories erased...
My brain won't work allright no more
Without this chip inside my head
The things I see I can't define
Responsibility seems strange to me
Fear - I'm a victim of the latest
Shock - Gene technology
Fear - I'm trained to be a robot
Shock - To serve society
Fear - I never ask no questions
Shock - I never cause a doubt
Fear - I don't know what's going on and what it's all about
I gotta know
The reason why
I can't receive no signals anymore
Seems like I'm
left alone
in a dying world...
I did my job all night and day
Now everything has gone astray
There's emptiness inside my head
I realize I've been long gone dead
Fear - Foreign determination
Shock - And the happiness I've known
Fear - Have faded with the signals
Shock - From my master's room
Fear - All wires disconnected
Shock - I see the shades of doom
Fear - Standing by the ruins fills my heart with gloom
I did my job all night and day
Now everything has gone astray
There's emptiness inside my head
I realize I've been long gone dead
Fear - I'm a victim of the latest
Shock - Gene technology
Fear - I'm trained to be a robot
Shock - To serve society
Fear - I never ask no questions
Shock - I never cause a doubt

Serve and never question why
Serve and never question why

[Days Of Betrayal]
Gates far behind
Priests out of mind
Endless the night
Nocturnal flight
Eyes in the dark,
Wait for the spark
Waste everywhere...
Peril in sight
Pray for the light
Phantoms in black
Mutants attack
Bareskin and bone
Hunger the hone
No apathy
For what I see
The tunnel in the mountainside
Looks like a place to hide
Descending into darkness now
A chamber deep inside
Days of betrayal
Automation
Screen coming on
Ancient machines
What does it mean
Bio chip here
Message of fear
Shocking the view
Morbid and true
A chance to save the human race
Chaos we can avoid
A mighty power out of place
That has to be destroyed
Days of betrayal
The end of the begining of
What is but never really was
Now press on and go beyond
I could try a million times
And cry until the end of time,
But it won't change a thing
[Restless]
[instrumental]
[Sanctuary]
Don't believe all that you see
'Cause it can never be
Truth could be there in disguise
So never trust your eyes
Wandering aimless through time
Wondering what I will find
So many years on my own
No place I can call home
A dome upon the hill - stare
What can that building be - sound
I hear a melody - look
That's my philosophy - wait
The truth is for the brave -
And it's like a tidal wave now
Entities all dressed in white
No end in sight
Some giants, some little ones
Where are they from
Packed inside this mega - dome
Why have they come
Where are all these giants from
Why have they come
My eyes are playing tricks on me
These things I really can't believe
They've got thhe heads of human men
And the bodies of machines
Who are these anroid masterminds
And what will all this mean for me
Possessing knoledge so incredible
I know They speak the truth indeed
Can this be a fantasy
Mirage of what I want to see
A sanctuary can it really be
Just follow me - I've got the key
So follow me - You will see
Just follow me - I've got the key - So follow me
You will see - So follow me - I've got the key
You will agree - I guarantee - Sanctuary
Just follow me - And you will find
Safe inside - Out of sight - And out of mind
Each of us cell inside
All satisfied
A body of perfection
And we are one
Entities dressed in white
No end in sight
The plase I long to be Sanctuary
The giants paid a high price
For their artificial life
They guard the truths of all mankind you see
So intellect can thrive
Condemned to be the slaves of time they are
They can never touch or feel
Things are never what they seem to be
Eternity to them is real
[Finale]
Dawn!
Religious might was born
Kill 'em they have sworn
Excused by might of god they think,
they've got the rights to slaughter human life
Annihilate own kind
Thoughts!
Creating endless hate
The preachers always tough
Blood boozers of new times,
the perfect warriors - prayers of supremacy
Broken leaders
Cringing idols
Walking shadows
Fighting heroes of darkness
What we do know?
Have a look at the past
Slobbering morons
Insane leaders followed to fast
What they want to see
People can never be
Puppets in an insane dream
Watch out!
The seed is growing fast
Fanatics all around
Poised ready to believe
This simple minded
Creeps will not try (to) shy away
Torturing unborn
Slaving people
Screaming unright
Crying angels of deceivers,
flickering out of fainted screens,
Greedy eaten by the masses,
mutant tubes in agony
Seduced by words of wildcat content
Close your eyes in piece of mind
Unreal sweet dream
step by step lost of meaning
fade out of all doubts
Apprehend
fatal words of disillusions
crying loud for last solutions
Understand one can't trust cheaters
Among the Dead runs a fever
Contest for their best deceiver
And the one who will be chosen
destroys the world, no illusion
Blandish nightmare of emotion
stroking souls of wannabe
final attack of devotion
wading through insanity
Reduced as brute for final countdown
Close your eyes no piece of mind
Wishful thinking
deep inside tearless crying
betrayed by your own mind
Apprehend
Blandish words of so called leaders
slaves the mind for great deceivers
Understand don't trust those cheaters
Among the Dead runs a fever
Contest for their best deceiver
And the one who will be chosen
A thought of what is true
I don't know for how long I've been around this place
One reason to live on
Don't know why this dark days should be mine
And those old ones - bodies of machines
Cold price for endless life
Still see those Gates I once stepped through
Nothing certain or true...
Frozen sea
Just reflect me
Tumbling through this unreal lifeless scene
Absorbed in hopeless thoughts
Don't know what happened to this world
All is certain not true...
What I see
Is creating me
Must be strong within my thoughts
Have to find someone who knows
Somewhere truth must have survived
I must walk on to find a sing
I don't know why
I don't know why
What's true
Back in the streets again
Jail's gates opened and
Someone wished me good luck
Where should I run to now
I once knew someone
Don't remember his name
I'm decades too late
(I) don't live today
Now I'm back again - in hell
I'm back home
I'm back home in hell
Bang! someone shot next door
Someone robbed the store
Raging war in the streets
Living undignified
Misanthropicy
Aimless creatures like me
The times, they have changed
I'm still the same
Now I'm back again - in hell
I'm back home
