Du vil se langs livets sti
Det er mye som vi
Ikke forstår
Og det eneste vi vet
Er at usikkerhet
Er livets kår
Men du vil også se
At du har oss alle med
Når du kjemper og kroppen blir trett
Vi vil våkne til dåd om du trenger til et råd
Vi er mer enn d ser vi er ett
Flokken vår
Flokken vår
Vi er ett
Flokken vår
Flokken vår
Vi er ett
Med så mye slit og stell
Får jeg være meg selv
Slik som jeg er
Kan jeg stole på min sjel
Eller er jeg en del
Av planen her
Våre aner ser ned
Fra sin plass i slektens tre
Får snart vil du være berett
Du skal ut på en ferd
Vise frem ditt sanne verd
De er med legg av sted
Vi er ett
Flokken vår
Flokken vår
Vi er ett
Flokken vår
Flokken vår
Vi er ett
Flokken vår
Flokken vår
Vi er ett
Flokken vår
Flokken vår
Vi er ett
Vi er ett du og jeg
Og vi vandrer samme vei
Når alle er med er det lett
All den klokskap vi har
All den gjervhet som det tar
Den er din om du ser
Vi er ett
Have you ever made a quilt? I have. it’s one of the most therapeutic and calming things I’ve ever done. and I had a huge sense of accomplishment when I finished.
Both of my grandmothers made quilts, my mama did, and my aunt jeannie did. I loved to open that big box at christmastime knowing it was a quilt that one of them had made. I was so flattered that after all the time and energy they had spent on that quilt, they had selected me to receive it. even as a young girl, I knew a quilt was a gift I would cherish always.
Back when I was living at home, I remember during the winter months mama would set up her sewing machine in the living room over by the window. at night when we’d all be in there watching tv after supper, mama would be over at her sewing machine, making another quilt from the scraps left over
From a dress or blouse she had made for one of us earlier.
Then, when she had sewn all the squares sewn together, she’d lay the batting on the living room floor, lay the quilted piece on top of that, and then start tacking it down. when that was completed, she’d sew the border around it. then it was finished. all that remained was for mama to decide who would be the proud recipient of her precious handiwork which represented so many hours of love.
I feel very blessed to have received one of mama’s quilts. I sleep under it every night I’m home. it doesn’t match the fancy comforter we bought in los angelos, but it feels better than anything you can imagine. just because I know my mama made it just for me.
When daddy’s mother died in 1950, one year before my sister alice was born, mama got the trunk that held all of the quilts, china, crystal, silverware, and knickknacks that grandma had collected during her lifetime. mama discovered that grandma’s trunk also included a few quilt pieces that she had started but had never finished. my sister susie eventually wound up with those quilt pieces and we all figured she would finish them out and keep them for herself.
But as only susie would do, she cut the makings of the quilt into four squares, had them quilted, put a picture of grandma mcentire and a descripion of the quilt ogether, and had them framed for alice’s, my brother pake’s, and my christmas present.
That’s how thoughtful susie is. she could have kept the quilt for herself, but, instead, she shared with her brother and sisters something so special, which had belonged to a woman none of us had ever met. that’s part of susie’s charm.
That’s also the charm of a quilt. like a mother, it wraps it’s arms around you-sosoft, yet so sturdy, and so comforting. in my grandma’s time the sewing of a quilt would bring friends and neighbors together, and in quilting circles today that lovely tradition continues. now we live in a time when so many women do not even have a sewing machine in their home and when country quilts hang in the fanciest boutiques and galleries selling as "decorative art." that would sure give my grandma and her circle a good laugh and more than a few shakes of the head.
Can you just imagine the visiting, the stories, and the fellowship that have gone on during the making of all the wonderful quilts through the years? and can you imagine all the children who have been tucked in securely underneath them in their beds night after night? and us adults too?
That’s what you call "comfort from a country quilt." I hope this book is as comforting to you as my mama’s quilt has always been to me. like a quilt, this book is made up of small pieces of material-some of my favorite stories, memorable experiences, and more than a few opinions-written, rather than sewn, from the stuff of my life. I have stitched these pieces together with my sincere hope that you will find the "quilt" of a book friendly, warm, and enjoyable, something you can turn to for comfort and entertainment and for sharing with friends and family.
So grab your favorite quilt, wra up, get comfortable, and enjoy.
From me to you.
Love,
Reba

WALK WITH ME! There are worlds to see!
Listen to me now - You. Listen to me now - You.
Do my words mean more to hear when I am standing here?
On a stage like all your silly idols do!
Open up your eyes - all. Let your walls and grins fall.
Would you reach for something new, if the crowds were reaching too?
Are you close enough to taste their tears at all?
Your hate is but a worn-out lover, sick and sear.
"RAPE ME AGAIN!" you beg in pain, dear friend
"but hey - just don't stop!The stillness makes me scared"
Listen to my plain words.
That's all you'll get from me: Words.
The rest is up to you; would you dare to let me through?
Are you brave enough to leave me in control?
...you're all afraid...
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid of you!
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid anymore - I am a shipwrecked swept ashore.
Life won't wash away your sins.
Life can't wash away your guilt.
Life will only make your conscience...wilt!

[daniel magdic]
Somewhere a child just died; yet another victim for man's endless strife.
World could be better than this! There are so many ways to live (leave) a
life...
Would you claim you live yours...right? Right?! NO!
TAKE A STAND! World is in your hand!
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid of you!
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid of you!
We're just the same me and you.
The same me and you. (Walk with me!)
...I see myself in you...

Lead you into the promised land, yeah
Come on and take a free ride
Come on and get by my side
Come on and take a free ride
All over the country I've seen it the same
Nobody's winning at this type of game
They got to do better they got to take aim
All of the answers are coming from within
Come on and take a free ride
Come on and get by my side
Come on and take a free ride

But hear me calling
Won't you give me
A free ride
Hear me calling
Won't you give me
A free ride
I know too
What you do
When you're through
Counting the cattle as they go by the door
Keeping a carpet that's so thick on the floor
But hear me calling
Won't you give me
A free ride
Hear me calling
Won't you give me
A free ride
I know you
I care too
I see through
All of the pictures that you keep on the wall
All of the people that will come to the ball
But hear me calling
Won't you give me
A free ride
Hear me calling
Won't you give me
hey can you hear anything can the music make you move can inspiration still be enough to make you want to play are there any lies behind the truth they they just don't understand what we are gonna play try to tell us how to peak our minds we are going forward
I want a free ride
Just to see what it feels like
But even if it feels right
I'm no fool
In the hospital where stretchers
Are arms and hands
I needed someone who could understand
Although these things they
Are never planned
I wanna feel
Something for free
I want a clear view
With nothing there that I can't see through
'cos everybody wants to understand
In the hospital where stretchers
Are arms and hands
I needed someone who could understand
Although these things they
Are never planned
I wanna feel
This is your world.
These are your people.
You can live for yourself today,
or help build tomorrow for everyone.
(Mark Erelli)
Did you think they'd part the seas for you like Moses
Did you think everything would come up roses
For every door they open
There's another door that closes
Did you think they'd part the seas for you like Moses
Did you think they'd give you everything you need
Did you think as you ask then so shall you receive
They'll let you roll the dice
But there ain't no guarantee
Did you think they'd give you everything you need
CHORUS
Nobody promised you a free ride kid
Put that fantasy out of your head
You're gonna have to work like your daddy did
Nobody promised you a free ride kid
Did you think they'd take you in with open arms
Boy, just how long have you been living on the farm
They'll want to see you bleed
But there's no need for alarm
Did you think they'd take you in with open arms
(CHORUS)
Did you think they weren't all vultures in disguise
Do you think you'll be safe if you follow their advice
Lord, I'd hate to be around
When they open up your eyes
I've been down
I've been out.
I did it all on my own.
Seems growing up didn't take long.
Feel Strange
I feel good.
I feel better with you.
You've changed,
you should.
Cause I think I did too.
Made my mistakes,
and did a few things right
But it will take what it will take,
baby that's life
You cannot change what you do not own,
everybody knows
But if you live deep and love strong
you get pretty damn close
It moves fast and it scares me.
I close my eyes, oh but I still see...
CHORUS
I'm fading in and out
what are you supposed to do save me now
From all of this danger you don't know how
and I'll find my way out
When I'm in the red
listening to strangers inside my head
The darkening angels beneath the bed
I still see everything you said,
Painted in Red
I shake and I smile,
cause you said
Baby girl it may take a while,
but take the good from the bad
And never minds are never sure
so never leave them wanting more
What are you waiting for?
How you love is who you are.
I dive in and I sink in.
And I find new colors to think in...
CHORUS
I'm fading in and out
what are you supposed to do save me now
From all of this danger you don't know how
and I'll find my way out
When I'm in the red
listening to strangers inside my head
The darkening angels beneath the bed
I still see everything you said,
Painted in Red
In the distance is a line defining where I've been the state I'm in
And ever since it began to slip from my two hands I've been
Taunting fires, touching wires, been believing liars, everything they said
Painted in Red
Painted in Red
CHORUS
I'm fading in and out
what are you supposed to do save me now
From all of this danger you don't know how
and I'll find my way out
When I'm in the red
listening to strangers inside my head
The darkening angels beneath the bed
I still see what you said,
What are you gonna do? No way for you to save me.
Pay no attention to the blood on his hands
He just had to break a few backs to get where he's at
Greed take what you need while you can
You got a free ride
No one's got to know
You got a long time
No one's got to know
So take what you can now
No one's got to know
Pay no attention to the stains on his shirt
The profit margin is well worth the hurt
Greed, take while they bleed while you can
You got a free ride
No one's got to know
You got a long time
No one's got to know
So take what you can now
No one's got to know
You got a free ride
Free ride
I never thought I'd miss the game
Every night it's the same old thing
Me and my buddies running around
We couldn't turn the good times down
I never thought I'd be the first to leave
The boys shake their heads in disbelief
But for you I do
Anything and everything to keep you loving me
I have learned that you deserve
A much better man than I could ever be
I never thought I'd ever change
I never had one thing to prove
But for you I do.
I'm used to saying what I want to say
I hope that you don't mind that I'm that way
Around the edges I'm a little rough
Still trying to figure out love
Only really ever thought of me
A family wasn't something that I'd dream
But with you I do
Anything and everything to keep you loving me
I have learned that you deserve
A much better man than I could ever be
I never thought I'd ever change
I never had one thing to prove
But for you I do.
I'd do anything and everything to keep you loving me
I have learned that you deserve
A much better man than I could ever be
I never thought I'd ever change
I never had one thing to prove
But for you I do.
Time to get up, another day
Turn the clock and look away
Sit around doing none
Sit around till the day is done
You're hanging out at the turn
Stuck again, you should burn
You're hanging out wasting time
You hang around, say you wait for the line
You have a freeride coming better
Pick up the call, you have a freeride
You have a freeride coming
So you better get on, you have a freeride
Yeah, yeah, you have a freeride
It is good when it is numb
Waiting for tomorrow never comes
And if it does who cares
The days are all the same around here
Sleep 'em away between dirty sheets
It takes a miracle to get on your feet
Things move just a little too fast
You take a ride, take a ride in the past
You had a freeride coming but you never got on
You had a freeride
You had a freeride coming but you missed the call
You had a freeride
Yeah, yeah, you have a freeride
Oh my my, now it feels so cold
Had it coming but you missed the call
Oh my my, now it feels so cold
But had it coming but he missed the call
Oh my my, now it feels so cold
He had it coming but he missed the call
Say oh my my, now it feels so cold
You had a, you had a
You had a freeride coming but you never got on
You had a freeride
You had a freeride coming but you missed the call
You had a freeride
You had a freeride coming but you never got on
You had a freeride
You had a freeride coming but you missed the call
You had a freeride
In a corner of the night
I was holdin on, you were too far out
yeah I recognize something in your eyes,
but you could not say a word
not a single thing
so that's where we laid on the grass
watching the planes that were flyin by
In a corner of the night
I was holdin tight you were too far out
as we drove by speedin on so fast
I could see you, staring into the sky
so that's where we laid on the grass
watching the planes that were flyin by
in a corner of my mind
I was holdin onŠyou were too far out
you were too far out
you were too far out
but it's all right
so I tried
so that's where we laid on the grass
watching the planes that were flyin by
so that's where we laid on the grass
Chorus
Today I'm blessed I aint gone stress about tomorrow or
yesterday turn my eyes up to the sky and then I blow my
clouds away bring me home, bring me some calm midst of
the storm (even if it's just for a day)
Verse 1
I throw my phone out the window,
and take a deep breath
close my eyes,
feel the wind blow,
that cool breeze yes
forget any plans for tomorrow
and all my regrets
I'm right here forget places I aint seen yet
let me just be blessed just give me one, one day
without the B.S just give me one day of complete peace
when the powers that be switch back to human beings no
more children bleeding for oil energy or muhammad or
jesus fascists and nazis turn into peace-loving people
I know I aint the only one believing for one day make
the cynic naive and give me love without worrying about
love hurting and love without hurrying, blue skies no
turbulence
look in the mirror girl and say it loud you're a
perfect ten
let's pretend we're alone in the world again
Chorus
Today I'm blessed
I aint gone stress
about tomorrow
or yesterday
turn my eyes up to the sky and then I blow my clouds
away
bring me home,
bring me some calm
midst of the storm
(even if it's just for a day)
even if it's just for a day
Verse 2
I burn my note of eviction on a bonfire a long road of
affliction but I've gone higher
I free my soul from addiction move towards zion
I stay strong like David against Goliath
just let me sit at the dock of the bay, the clock stops
for a day break the locks on my cage
(I'm just living now) feel the raindrops on my face,
and though my pockets are drained remain on top of my
game ( I aint quitting now)
just let it out,
stop trying to be clever now one foot on the ground and
one in the clouds, settle down
cut the ropes of my boat and let it drift around
let it go, through any storm knowing I'll never drown
let me stop trying and stop lying and start living and
stop dying all my sinning just forgiven
for a day let me be, let me play, let me daydream away,
blow my grey clouds away.
Chorus
Today I'm blessed I aint gone stress about tomorrow or
yesterday turn my eyes up to the sky and then I blow my
clouds away bring me home, bring me some calm midst of
the storm (even if it's just for a day) even if it's
Diese Geschichte spielt in einer Zeit, in der das Schachbrett eine
gesselschaftlichte Legende blieb und ein Brettspiel auf den Tischen armer
und reicher Manner Platz fand, wie zahlreich schmierige Teller oder
verstopfte Salzbuchsen. Staturen, die man zum Betrieb einer Partie
benotigte, sie vergaben sich nicht im Kehricht ihrer Kammen und Kabauschen:
Man hat sie gereinigt, sobald sich der Staub an ihrer Kanten hievte oder
lieb sich vom hiesigen Tischler eine eigene Garnitur zurechtschnitzen. Die
Figuren, oft genug an ihren eigenen Haupten uber ein Kastchengetragen, sie
galten einer Verwandlung, ohne zu altern, wie auch der Schachspieler mit
dem Gewahrwerden des Strategen zum alterlosen, doch gutlichen Denker wurde.
Einzig und allein um die Auslese der Farben wurde gestritten; durfte man
sich fur eine Schattierung entscheiden, war man fur diesen einen Moment der
einzig liberale Mensch im hochverschuldeten und einzigen Gasthaus des
Dorfes. Die Holzstaturen, die man selbst aufstellen durtle,
vergegenwartigten die eigene Mannschaft, eine Art Tischebene, die, wie der
grobe Kiefernwald zu Hause in Kurejka oder Saskylach, unbewohnt und kaum
bewirtschaffet die umwinterte Verwandschaf vor Lawinen schutzte. Ja, man
war auf dieser Flache ganz fur sich allein, ohne jedoch aus der Welt zu
sein, denn in jedem einzelnen Kastchen des Holzberetts war die Nahe der
Zivilisation zu spuren, sogar starker und naher als im Innenhof des
Gasthauses - mit diesem wirren Getose von Heugabeln und der Spatenarbeit,
die has Schneebett auf den Sandwegen zerstorte. Ich erzahle diese
Geschichte night, wie sie sich wirklich zugetragen hat, sondem vielmehr wie
ich sie selbst erlebt habe. Das Schachspiel, das ich der Handlung der
Geschichte, dem Simultanablauf, der Musik, der Illustration zugrunde legte;
es ist eines, das ich selbst spielen musste; aus Angst, durch meine
taktische Unfertigkeit den regularen Spielprozess einer Schachbegegnung zu
verletzen, erschloss ich mich der Moglichkeit eines SciSys-Schachcomputers.
Gewiss, oft genug war ich durch programmierte Zuge Schachmatt gesetzt
worden, durch alles entscheidende, blinkende Lichter und fertige Diagramme
entrusted gewesen, doch: Ich verstand es immer mehr, mit der realen
Einschrankung dieses Spielsystems - der Restriktion auf figurale Werte,
einer Interaktion zwischen machtlosen und machtvollen Spielfiguren oder der
symbolischen Bedeutung eines schlichten Brettspiels - umzugehen. Vor mir,
auf je 32 elektronisch gesteuerten schwarzen und weiben Kastchen, erlebte
ich (in abermalig interessanten Varianten) die Vergesselschaftung eines
Denkspiels, das eisige Mitgefuhl mit Millionen von anderen Menschen, durch
Hin- und Herschieben von Bauer, Laufer und Turm in und mit einer soliden

Now I walk as I'm waiting for eternity
Attained in time but beyond my own ability
My will, my will is broken
Makes the beginning easier to see
Why are your eyes so fixed
So hard to see beyond
Why are your eyes so fixed on this world
Before we're broken down
Look beyond this world
This temporary shell
Its own fading signs of hope
At times resembling hell
Look beyond this world
Its time is fading fast
Seek the things eternal
And you won't fear

A minks fur savagely ripped from its back
So wealthy cunts can flaunt their riches
I can't see the glamour in wearing dead flesh
All they see is dollar signs as the animals perish
And for what? (glamour!)
Lipstick rammed down a rabbits throat
Hairspray shot into its eyes
So cunts can look and smell like shit
Why aren't they the ones that are made to suffer?
And for what? (sport!)
Electrodes strapped to their splintering skulls
Radiation surging through their bodies
Repetitious tests once again prove useless
But still you continue to ravage and destroy
And for what? (science!)
So don't give up on me quite yet,
This paper trail's misleading.
I snapped it shut and just flew open.
I have to admit I love the sound
Of wires crossing,

I'm moving forward, I can't go back (2x)
I'm moving forward, I can't go
I'm moving forward, moving forward
Vs 1
Feeling hopeless seems like nothing's going my way
Giving up is never an option even on my worst day
I know that I was put here to make it to the finish
So I press on when others quit
Pre chorus
Forward, I am moving forward

When it seems the past is trying to stop
I'm forgetting those things that are behind me
I have got my eyes set on the prize
I can't lose sight, I'm moving on

Bridge
All the sweat and the tears I cried
Had me seeing that I was born to win
Got a new destination in mind and that's forward
I won't stop until I get there
I been a traveller for more than too few years
I learned my lessons...I stilled my fears
My sole possessions--they steer me through it all
Sweet dreams and innocence--the cushion my falls
Feel the passion run you blind
See the vision dancin' in my mind
One good woman, who's all of what she seems
One good woman to share my dreams
One good woman--put all the games aside
One good woman--make the most of our lives
We live a life of fact and fantasy
We alter circumstance to fit our needs
We gain in fortune, but we lose in time
One door will open and one will close behind
Find the loner from the pack
Storm the mansions--I ain't never turnin' back
One good woman...she's all I hope to find
One good woman--think of me in kind
One good woman..she won't get me down
One good woman--turn my head around
Keepin' her distance..but oh she don't let go
One good woman...she makes it so
Over the air-waves, or across the sea
One good woman...she's more than enough for me
So much death, unnecassary
so much pain, for what? for what?
wars fought, battles won and lost
people destroyed, for what? for what?
It might be a star where you are
But it's just the light of a passing car
You might be witnessing lights in the sky
But it's just a reason for the word why
6000 pounds of thrust on your ample bust
Just cannot be denied
when I turned to you and looked right into your eyes
And said
(chorus)
You were never that far out baby
And I don't mind
She was the greatest girl in space and time
And you were never that far our baby
And I can't see
Why she said she just had to be free
It might be an alien conduit
But I think you've been conned into it
You might think that you're speaking in tongues
But on the ladder of life you're on the lower rungs
And when I feel your lust like a solar crust
Out burning in the sky
When I turned to you and looked right into your eyes
I wish I just could improve myself
I wish I could move somewhere else
I wish I just could improve myself
I wish I could move somewhere else
Achievement would be being glad with myself
I wish I just could improve myself
I wish I just could move forward
Achievement would be being glad with myself
I wish I just could improve myself
I wish I could be a better myself
I wish I just could improve myself
I wish I could be a better myself
The mountain is high, the valley is low
And you're confused bout which to go
So I came here to give you a hand
And lead you into the promised land, so
(CHORUS)
Come on and take a free ride (free ride)
Come on and take it by my side
Come on and take a free ride
All over the country, I've seen it the same
Nobody's winning at this type of game
We gotta do better, it's time to begin
You know all the answers
Must come from within, so
(CHORUS)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ooo, ooo, ooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo
Ooo, ooo, free ride
Come on and take a free ride
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Come on and take a free ride
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Come on and take a free ride
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Come on and take a free ride
Just because I don't have a diamond ring
Doesn't mean I'm gonna be your dirty fling
I'm just a-dancing with my girls on a Friday night
Don't even buying me a drink to have a good old time
I know that you wanna take me home
You wanna take a little drive just to get me alone
But I'm a good girl, mama taught me 'Watch my back'
I've gotta stay away from boys who play like that
'Cause there's no such thing as a free ride, good night
I've heard those lame lines way too much
You can look all you want but you can't touch
Don't tell me 'bout your tricked-out four wheel drive
I can see just what is on your mind
I know that you wanna take me home
You wanna take a little drive just to get me alone
But I'm a good girl, mama taught me 'Watch my back'
I've gotta stay away from boys who play like that
'Cause there's no such thing as a free ride
Hey, maybe you're stuck living in a dream
Or some kind of wicked fantasy
I know you want what you can't see
Got news for you, that'll never be
Sorry pretty boy, but you're out of luck
I'm not gonna jump in the back of your truck
Or try your tricks on another one
If that's what you want, then back up, back up
I know that you wanna take me home
You wanna take a little drive just to get me alone
I'm a good girl, mama taught me 'Watch my back'
Gotta stay away from boys who play like that
I know that you wanna take me home
You wanna take a little drive just to get me alone
But I'm a good girl, mama taught me 'Watch my back'
Gotta stay away from boys who play like that
'Cause there's no such thing as a free ride
Good night, good night
The mountain is high, the valley is low
And you're confused on which way to go
So I've come here, to give you a hand
And lead you into, the promised land
Chorus:
Come on and take a free ride(free ride)
Come on and sit here by my side
Come on and take a free ride
All over the country, I'm I've seen it the same
Nobody's winning, at this kind of game
We gotta do better, it's time to begin
You know all the answers
Must come from within, so
Come on and take a free ride, free ride
Come on and take it by my side
Come on and take a free ride
Come on and take a free ride, free ride
Come on and take it by my side
Come on and take a free ride

Hunger leads your way
Into foolish love
Break this chain of me
Make this stop
You make your words love me
And yourself
Feed your hungry mind
Fear my half
Don’t you see what you’ve
Done to me
And to someone else
You’ll never be
No one suffers here
No one to blame
No one to tell these lies
They’re all the same
No one to kill my dream
No one to steal
Make a mess of yourself
And then try to heal
Join the freeride
It will be just fine
Join the freeride
You’re the next in line
Join the freeride
Don’t listen to what they say
Join the freeride
I need it to be free
And now the switch will take control
There’s noone else to be
Your heart is beating blood is heating
There’s something that needs release
Searching for whatever needs it
It won’t be hard to find
And now you’re done you’ve just succeeded
In blowing someone’s mind
No one suffers here
No one to blame
No one to tell these lies
They’re all the same
No one to kill my dream
No one to steal
Make a mess of yourself
And then try to heal
Join the freeride
It will be just fine
Join the freeride
You’re the next in line
Join the freeride
Don’t listen to what they say
Join the freeride
I need it to be free
Now it all ends here
You have died
Not by my mistakes
The mountain is high, the valley is low
And you're confused 'bout which way to go
So I flew here to give you a hand
And lead you into the promised land
So, come on and take a free ride (free ride)
Come on and take it by my side
Come on and take a free ride
All over the country, I'm seeing the same
Nobody's winning, at this kind of game
We gotta do better, it's time to begin
You know all the answers
Must come from within
So, come on and take a free ride (free ride)
Come on and take it by my side
Come on and take a free ride
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Instrumental Interlude]
Free ride
Come on and take a free ride
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Come on and take a free ride
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Come on and take a free ride
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Come on and take a free ride
No word is left unspoken until we reach the final stage Where our vision gets more clear and our thoughts are made real the point of no return has been passed so long ago All exits have been cancelled, There is just one way to go
We go forward
Forward, we go forward to see what lies behind Our endless dreams of progress will be our guiding light Forward, we go forward to see what lies behind The neverending, countless stars never seemed so bright
We go forward
No deed is left undone until we reach the final goal Where we create our heaven on earth by our thoughts that are pure In time we learn to see what was right and what was wrong For now we cannot stop there is just one way to go
We go forward
Forward, we go forward to see what lies behind Our endless dreams of progress will be our guiding light Forward, we go forward to see what lies behind The neverending, countless stars never seemed so bright
I'm always making things out to
be more than what they really are.
Without questioning, seeking, and changing,
how can we be expected to move too far?
I can't sit content or conditioned by what others may say.
I fight apathy and complacency to hopefully make a dent.
In this I pray.
Pressing forward to open blind eyes.
Looking on to see what's deep inside.
Moving closer to first change ourselves,
never willing to abide to this world's lies.
No I won't listen to this world's lies.
Sometimes I feel so afraid of what I might be searching for.
Why do I look for an easy way out?
As my failure keeps haunting me the answer's in my reach.
I won't give up, I have no doubts in what lies ahead of me.
As the symbols are ingrained and the skylines erected
In the blood of or offspring the earth of tomorrow is soaked
When the breaking light of another day shall dawn for man
The willing host of the ill ones
Shall inhabit the wastelands
Poison
Instinct
Boneless
Confining walls
Weak flesh
Crawling
Prison
Our plastic perfection is a thin disguise
A sickness sculptured by faithful hands
Ours is the illusion - Even in death
As the hedonist shadows swallow mankind
Flesh and bone were to fall in the end
Forward
Willing
Sickness
Into marble halls
Plastic
Fragile
Surface
The faithful hands
Weak flesh
Crawling
Prison
Forward
Willing
Sickness
Into marble halls
Forward
Plastic
Fragile
Yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh
The mountain is high the valley is low
And you're confused on which way to go
So I've come here to give you a hand
And lead us into the promised land
So, come on and take a free ride
(Free ride)
Come on and sit by my side
Come on and take a free ride
All over the country I've seen it the same
Nobody's winning at this kind of game
We've gotta do better, it's time to begin
You know all the answers must come from within
So come on and take a free ride
(Free ride)
Come on and sit here by my side
Come on and take a free ride
Yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh
Ah ah come on and take a free ride
Come on and take a free ride yeh yeh yeh yeh

Come on and take a free ride yeh yeh yeh yeh
(Come on and take a free ride yeh yeh yeh yeh)
Come on and take a free ride yeh yeh yeh yeh
(Come on and take a free ride yeh yeh yeh yeh)
The mountain is high, the valley is low
And you're confused on which way to go so
(Einspielung)
"Ein mitternächtlicher Trip hinunter zum Wasserloch. Kommen sie und träumen sie mit mir."
(Crystal F)
Ich bin gefickt vom Leben, Crystal Meth hält mich am Leben,
Du willst meinen Weg gehen, doch du weißt nicht wovon ich da rede.
Blutlinie, Todeskünstler, Narben unter Fußsohlen.
Ich bin nachts auf Hetzjagd I'm Schimmer eines Blutmonds.
Zufällig wo du wohnst, mach ich ne Verschnaufpause,
Treffe deine Schwester, dich ich aufschneide und aussauge.
Ich würd' gern bleiben, doch ich habe kein Privatleben,
Sarahs Tagebuch, du kannst meine Taten nachlesen.
Ich brauche Crack, alles andere ist Nebensache,
Guck ich bin ganz stolz drauf, was ich aus meinem Leben mache!
Und auch wenn sich meine Mutter Sorgen um ihren Sohn macht,
Mach ich weiter wie bisher und prügel dich in Ohnmacht.
Lasse dich nicht liegen, sondern nehm dich mit und quäl dich weiter,
Wer will mir erzählen, dass ich mit meinem Leben scheiter'!
Denn das was ich mache ist nicht ansatzweise sündhaft,
When did you run away?
How is it far from here?
Only look back when the futures not so clear.
Wondering around the room.
Everythings in its space.
I'm the only thing that dosen't fit in this place.
Whom I supposed to be.
Falling while I'm standing still.
Do I deal so willingly with the fact I lost the will.
My sad song saves me.
My down days feel right.
I dream of a didn't know what keeps me up at night.
Forward, forward, forward, I go forward.
Steady as I don't go.
Thrown into I don't know.
Can I ever let myself, just let myself go.
Floating down the stairs.
No one knows I'm near.
I shout at the shawdows,"Don't let me catch you here!"
Lingering on the porch.
Breathing till I'm bored.
Caught between a prison gate and a wide open door.
Pushing from within.
Everythings not fine.
Tonight I'm going to take back, take back what's mine.
I'm going to take back what's mine.
I'm going to take back what's mine.
Never find me here, never find me here.

we are lost
(we are so far away from home)
we are left
(we are so far away from home)
we are home
(we are so far away from home)
we are safe
(we are so far)
we are lost
(we are so far away from home)
so free
(we are so far)
to me
(we are so far away from home)
and safe
(we are so far)
there's no waiting
and there's no way
I'll be staying right here
we are reaching out our hands to hold in place
in times of need
we are hoping for a love that will shake the ground
for you and me
(we are lost)
cause I've been passed waiting for something to happen
(we are left)
and I've been waiting here so long
(we are home)
(we are safe)
(we are so free)
(we are home)
(we are safe)
one two three
forward
we can hit the floor now
forget
everything i've told you
one night
is all you really need
but time is stuck
no time is enough
one two three
forward
we can touch the sky now
forget
everything i've told you
one night
is all you really need
but time is stuck
no time is enough
we shoot
so far
so high
don't read me
don't believe me
so far
your hold shows
no one can touch
no one can follow
kill the dawn
kill the alarm
kill the song
one two three
forward
is all i can see
forget
the prints from your feet
one life
is all i'll ever need
the time is soon
time is moving
one two three
