Pure Freuden ohne Last/ pure enjoyment without load/
Leben voller Tanz und Lust. living full of dance and joy.
Tod und Teufel fuerchten wir nicht. Death and devil we never fear.
Woke up - still in a dream
nothing's the same
can't pronounce my name
I open my mouth
words come out
that make no sense
for a stranger's ear
in a foreign language
in a foreign land
now I'm an alien
on a different planet
it makes it clear - I understand
we are all strangers - in a foreign land
burn the bridges
forge ahead
to the hilt
back home I feel insane
nothing's the same
except for my name
I open my mouth
words come out
that make no sense
for my lover's ear
in my native language
in my native land
I'm still the alien
on a different planet
it makes it clear - I understand
I am a stranger - in my own land
burn the bridges
forge ahead
to the hilt

Another day in the city of pain
Sharing the life of the mad and insane
I'm closing my eyes in awe of the scenes
I cover my ears in fear of their screams
and I'm waiting
The days does not end and so does the night
that covers the streets in darkness and fright
I'm staying awake while the city sleeps
watching the low life, the pimps and the creeps
And I'm waiting
waiting in vain
and I'm waiting
for the cleansing rain
And I'm praying
praying in vain
and I'm praying
for the cleansing rain
And when I look up I can't see the sky
Stormbringing clouds are piling up high
pouring red rain
forming pools of blood
bringing redemption of the last flood.
I've been with the incrowd
been on the outside too
I've seen life's many faces
seen the high and the low
I've been on the crossroad
between heaven or hell
don't need no direction
don't need no one to tell
It that's the Final Option
I'm gonna choose it
don't point the gun
if you don't wanna use it
This is - the Final Option - choose
I challenge the devil
for another game
winning or losing
it is all the same
I challenge the devil
for another game
where every bullet
is having my name.

it was wrong to assume/

silent attack/

Like a hermit - unfounded
solitary but proud
I was hiding - behind fences
shutting myself out
crossed my arm - disarmed
loss of self-defence
wouldn't fight off - haunting memories
crimes without a sense
closed my eyes - blind folded
images of hell
caught inside a vicious circle
retired in my shell
shut my mouth - lips sealed
there's no need to tell
wouldn't share with you the secret
that could break the spell
shellshocked - no escape from dreaming
shellshocked - there's no escape from dreaming
Music: Engler
My brain is haunted by this scent
it takes me back to a past event
it's like a drug that I need every day
I need to preserve it, have to get it my way
Forever I'll have this desire
this scent - keeps me alive and fills my soul
Forever engulfed by its fire
this scent - consumes my mind and takes control
The feelings I get when memory comes back
goves me something in my life I lack
it takes me awat to the place I seek
and my being reaches its highest peak
I follow the trail it leaves behind
boxing it up is on my mind
preserving this scent is my aim
I satisfy my senses, that scent must sustain.

God is dead he lost the battle
the devil rules over life and death
feel his power, feel his wrath
hell - this is the paradise of sin
fail - and you will suffer in pain
nail - that son of disaster
sell - your soul to the master
in the garden of evil, baby
the bible's title is helter skelter
take a ride on this rollercoaster
live for sin and die faster
wake - your evil twin
live - your wildest dream
let - the demons in
let - the madness begin
Music: Engler, Altus
Sitting in a cage
an open cage
you're used to its measures
used to the way it feels
it gives you security
and eases your anxiety
the fear of the unknown
the fear to be all alone
the desire to leave home
the nightmare of being torn
I set my mind on something
I would like to be
and I open up the door
there is so much to explore
I set my mind on things
that I would like to see
and I open up the door
there is so much more to score
I sure could leave this cell
but I don't
I should leave this hell
but I won't
there is only one way out of this
it is to travel by mind - noiseless
the body is trapped but the mind soars free
the body is caged but the mind soars free.
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
I never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
That nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
From me to you
from you to me
speaking flows
and thinking seems free
from me to you
from class to class
speaking ways differ
and chances pass
different speech
makes different minds
separation into different kinds
words do express
words do possess
the power of temptation
supporting success
there is new creation in mind
there is new temptation in mind
words can distort
words can deceive
brought to perfection
they change belief
words can control
first thoughts then soul
help to prepare
for the final goal
a nation did rise
a nation did fall
a leader created
new ideals for all
there was a word
there was an idea
there was a belief
that thinking is free
Music: Engler, Altus
Lyrics: Engler, Schnekenburger
Es aendert sich alles/ How everything changes/
nichts, woran man glauben kann/ nothing in which we can trust/
Keinen Halt und heine Helfer/ no hold and no more helpers/
Etwas wirft uns aus der Bahn. we have to leave the course so just.
Wo sind die neuen Helden/ Where are the modern heroes/
Wer sind die neuen Helden./ who are the modern heroes.

I see houses burning
I'm ashamed
before you close your eyes denyingly
you'd better ask yourself
did I choose something I could regret
did I do something
I should regret
Is this the place I used to call -
Fatherland
Is this the place I used to know -
as Fatherland
the silence is illusion
stay awake
I hear children crying in fear and pain
do cowards ask themselves?
Music: Engler, Lietz
Where's the hand that guided me
my cry within me is let me be
crossing the endless seas of pain
fighting against torrential rain
it seems pain is the experience in life
I'm sorely
tried by affliction in my life
I have to master this impossible situation
this driving force is my salvation
The world in my arms - I'm alive
Love is pain, pain is strife
In my world - I'm alive
and I can't see danger - anymore
This driving force sets me in strife
that driving force that's in my life
Whatever the pain is - I must survive
determination keeps me alive
this extreme situation makes me realize - I'm alive
it makes me realize it changed my life
Hope is the hand that guided me
secured by the hand that set me free.
Music: Engler. Lyrics: Engler, Engler.
Denk nicht mehr an gestern
Gestern liegt so weit zurueck
Lasst uns keinen Tag verliern
Die Zeit, sie bleibt nicht stehn
Du lebst nur einmal
Erfuelle deine Wuensche
Das Glueck liegt nur in deiner
Lasst uns keinen Tag verliern
Die Zeit, sie bleibt nicht stehn
I don't oppose
I don't confront
go with the flow
hard to control
I do conform
I follow the norm
swim with the mainstream
I'm not what I might seem
I can't be identified
Mr. Faceless personified
without reflection
there's no detection
This is my strategy
I use the LCD
you can call me an infiltrator
I'm the Lowest Common Denominator
I won't protest
I won't disapprove
the faceless crowd
covers my moves
I don't offend
seem easy to bend
don't have a profile
no godgiven style.
Do you know the ABC
survival guide in real life
put it down in your dictionary
anger, boredom, conformity,
danger, exhaustion, fake,
greed, hunger, injury,
killings, lootings, mad
this isn't poetry
this is the language of reality
did you learn your ABC
survival guide in real life
gotta learn your vocabulary
nothing, obscene, pain,
queers, rampage, shame,
terror, useless, vanity,
wounded, x-rated, why?

Schlagt and die Tueren/ Beat on the portals/

Laerm macht Spass. Noise is fun.

Gunshots fill the air - salute our bliss
night bursts into flames - greets the final kiss
death comes without a sound - rings the wedding bell
target hits the ground - honeymoon in hell
shot - shot by both sides
in a war that won't cease
they gave their lives
unheard cry for peace
cities under siege - where the snipers strike
lovers out of reach - yearning in the night
take your lover's hand - meet your destiny
down in noone's land - for eternity
CROSSFIRE! CROSSFIRE!

Bloodsuckers
you suck out the oil
for the salt of the earth
you ravage the soil
strip mining mountains
you gauge out the face
you suffocate life
in an asphalt membrane
don't eat your own heart
'cause you can never win
bloodsuckers
you steal from the earth
you'll kill for the riches
and decide what it's worth
bloodsuckers
got your values out of whack
you've been selling your soul
for a greenback stack
Music: Engler
What happened to my life
what happened to my pride
I'm a victim of your love
I can't cope with this world no longer
you have my fate in your hands
I'm on the verge of self destruction
I don't see a way out
if this was your intention
to turn me inside out
what's the reason of my life
there's no pleasure in my heart
now I'm disillusioned
and I had so much more in mind
Music: Engler, Altus

Musik: Engler
What is happening to me
no one could foresee
I was living on the edge
of catastrophe
thrown off the system
nailed and bare
fish out of water
jumping for air
stranded with no help
outlawed and shunned
luck turned against me
thousand to one
some call it fate
what's my reality
world allied against me
fatal conspiracy
I can't take it, I can't take it
I can't take it no more
Worst case scenario
in the elevator to heaven I'm stuck
on the lowest level run out of luck
a downward spiral
is sucking me in
my plans for the future
a case for the bin
no glimmering hope
brightens my night
at the end of the tunnel
there is no light
some call it fate
what's my reality
world allied against me
fatal conspiracy
Music: Engler, Altus
Meine Muskeln sind Maschinen/ All my muscles work machine-like/

reminders of my fear/
the memories of pain stay here to last/
they will not disappear
the walls reflect the echoes of my screams/

the trial keeps recurring in my dreams/
reality has gone
no hope/

no hope/
just fears

accompanied by hate/
forgotten years spent in a prison cell/
no witnesses to tell

Fear myself - and nobody else
Born of innocence - you and me
the struggle to know - who to be
society's forcing you to be rotten
all morals have been forgotten
Find myself - in all this mess
free myself - from all this mess
You're fighting to stay on the good side
there's no one to show you what's good or right
when desperation strikes with all its might
you turn from good Jeckyll to evil Hyde
Society's forcing you to be bad
it is the truth it is so sad
it makes the worst come out
I see where it's leading to and I shout
The world says hate - yet I still care
Jeckyll or Hyde - which will I be
society throws the dice - will I be a prisoner or will I be free
Jeckyll or Hyde - which will be my fate
society throws the dice - will I love or will I hate
Jeckyll or hide - which will I choose
society throws the dice - will I win or will I lose.

9. Metalmorphosis
Weak the body and the sould
poor the body and the mind
lost the vision as a whole
shame and disgrace to the kind
drift around directionless
no clue what occured to me
got myself into a mess
swallowed down by misery
Body - Body - Body
versus
Mind - Mind - Mind
versus
Soul - Soul - Soul
This was then but this is now
find your own identity
this was then but this is now
truth lies in intensity
Time for change
Metamorphosis - Metamorphosis
History repeats itself
at the point of no return
decay's put back on the shelves
dying flame is back to burn
Energy is streaming back
removes weakness frame by frame
new beginning's taking shape
destiny recalls my name
This was then but this is now
regained power and control
this was then but this is now
on the edge but burning slow.
Isolation is like serving time
except in this case I've done no crime
I choose to be alone to search my soul
to see if there is good in this heart with a hole
I had no control when I lived out there
my life became a nightmare
there is no love in isolation
all you have is your imagination
I live in a world created on my own
contempt for the outside keeps me alone
Isolation is for me
the only way to be free
Isolation - is liberation
when desperation is what you feel
Isolation - is liberation
when desolation is what you feel
Isolate - myself
free - myself
isolate - myself
be - myself.
Go shed the old skin -

weakness - these days are over
old flesh - replaced by shiny armour
new thoughts - the mind expanding
real tasks - that are demanding
this body is invincible
perfection is the principle
feel the clockwork
of the new heart

feed the engine
of your bloodstream
recondition
move your muscles
like a machine

give your life
a new dimension

Music: Engler
Say your prayers, little one
Don't forget, my son
To include everyone
Tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the sandman he comes
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit light, enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never, never land
Something's wrong, shut the light
heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't snow white
Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And the things that will bite
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit light, enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never, never land
Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the Lord, my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
Pray the Lord, my soul to take
Hush, little baby, and don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just a beast under your bed
In your closet, in your head
Exit light, enter night
Grain of sand
Exit light, enter night
Take my hand
I live in an eggshell - not as strong as it seems
I protect myself from the world - don't fit in its scheme
my home is unstable - the walls are wearing thin
I break under pressure - but I'm trying to endure within
Break the shell - and you will regret it
Break the shell - you wish you never did it
Break the shell - you won't like what you see
Break the shell - you won't recognize me
Your world around me is cracking my shell
the weight of your problems makes my life hell
under the pressure from your house of pain
I choose to live in my shell under strain
I've tried to conform - I've tried it your way
I've tried to conform - live my life day by day
this is my reality - my life is in a shell
this is my heaven - outside is my hell
I can't deny it - I reached my breaking point
I personify it - an eggshell in duress
I can't deny it - I'm at my limit
I identify with - an eggshell in duress.

laughing in the eye of needful decisions
creating bad blood teaching segregation
kills the revelation of truth overall
breeding conflict in minds that are small
marching to the tune of separate divisions
leading to a path of complete collision
but if joined they'd rise to the call
together they would not fall
the crossing of minds - a challenge in time
great is the feat - the message of the deep
a step must be taken - for one to awaken
great is the feat - as equals to meet
No lies without truth - no hate without love
divided one is not complete - black beauty white heat
no death without life - no black without white
divided one is not complete - black beauty white heat
Co-existance of black and white
evidenced in the depth of night
realize the power of the sky
black and white together lie
caleidoscope of many colors
mixing without harming others
crossing paths one and all
in equality they stand tall
The crossing of minds - a challenge in time
great is the feat - the message of the deep
a step must be taken - for one to awaken
Lashing out the action, returning the reaction
Weak are ripped and torn away
Hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower
Battery is here to stay
Smashing through the boundaries, lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Pounding out aggression, turns into obsession
Cannot kill the battery
Cannot kill the family, battery is found me
Battery
Crushing all deceivers, mashing non-believers
Never ending potency
Hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker
Breeding on insanity
Smashing through the boundaries, lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Pounding out aggression, turns into obsession
Cannot kill the battery
Cannot kill the family, battery is found me
Battery
Battery
Circle of destruction, hammer comes crushing
Powerhouse of energy
Whipping up a fury, dominating flurry
We create the battery
Smashing through the boundaries, lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Pounding out aggression, turns into obsession
Cannot kill the battery
Cannot kill the family, battery is found me
Battery

Gunshots fill the air, salute our bliss

Do you know who's the man that you follow?
Do you know if he's a wise man or psycho?
You must ask yourself
Can he be the one?
Is he sinner or saint?
Is he the chosen one
Or is he one to resent?
Many questions and useless information
Confusing the truth
No answers and controlled information
Distorting the truth
This is a call to arms to fight
The great divide
There's a call worldwide to fight
The great divide
Do you know who owns the riches he strives for?
Are you sure his aim's worth dying for?
You must ask yourself
Can he be the one?
Is he sinner or saint?

This is the call to arms to fight
The great divide
Do you know who owns the world that we live in?
Do you know who's the god you believe in?
Left in a state of confusion
your life will be the mirror
that shows what you've become
the stage is set for trial
to show what you have done
your choice was to be rotten
so painful be the end
law of existence - revolving doors
comes the teeth of life's jaws
end of life - peace to the core
full circle - returns once more
this is not the end of it all
full circle returns once more
your fear will be your shadow
and life will take revenge
you had it all but went too far
realize the end is near
regrets come much too late
so fire will be your fate
law of existence - revolving doors
comes the teeth of life's jaws
end of life - peace to the core
full circle - returns once more
this is not the end of it all
full circle returns once more
remake, remodel - endless revisions
within the circle - a new one is born
you're not alone - there's more of the sane
Holding pieces of shattered dreams
accepting nothing for what it seems
closed minds - narrow vision
results are the same - just total division
it's not a game taking pleasure in pain
nothing to win and nothing to gain
wake up to the big mistake
those ways of life that make you break
Moving beyond - shedding the hate
moving beyong - wiping the slate
moving beyond - eith goals set high
moving beyond - new ways to apply
Abuse this norm - slashing at the soul
wreckage results of lost control
taught from childhood-words of broken nature
results of no good
I won't give up - I won't cave in
this is human nature - masterplan before life began
generations of life rooted deep
it's scarred to think what the future will reap
From this fragmentation - this crypted scene
Weak the body and the sould
poor the body and the mind
lost the vision as a whole
shame and disgrace to the kind
drift around directionless
no clue what occured to me
got myself into a mess
swallowed down by misery
Body - Body - Body
versus
Mind - Mind - Mind
versus
Soul - Soul - Soul
This was then but this is now
find your own identity
this was then but this is now
truth lies in intensity
Time for change
Metamorphosis - Metamorphosis
History repeats itself
at the point of no return
decay's put back on the shelves
dying flame is back to burn
Energy is streaming back
removes weakness frame by frame
new beginning's taking shape
destiny recalls my name
This was then but this is now
regained power and control
this was then but this is now
I'm the door to your relief
I've come to strenghten your belief
I'm here to openthese closed minds
let's burn these bridges that us blind
no more wars - destroying lives
two-faced justice - inferno of lies
introducing meaning to society
must be the priority
reconstruction - the challenging's back
reconstruction - see him change it all back
I'm back to take for you the blame
I'm here to recieve for all the shame
I'm the one on whom you inflict the pain
I will not behind under heaviest strain
no more violence - the ultimate sin
time for a whole new phase to begin
introducing meaning to society
must be our priority
reconstruction - the challenging's back
reconstruction - see him change it all back
soul cries - cries elevate
elevate mind - mind escapes
escapes hate - hate you
you fall - fall hard
Daylight crawls inside
A wasted state this empty slate
Looking back before the memories
Vortex of promise paled and chances failed
This misanthrope's disease
I've torn apart this charcoal heart
No shred of decency, all that remains
Escape from all your pain
Vortex
Escape from all your pain
Dissolving crimson stains
The spiteful past to come undone
A chance to set things right as last for me
Vortex of chances gained in ending failure
A mission soon fulfilled
I'll leave behind this dreadful shell
No sign of sympathy, I'll live to tell
Escape from all your pain
Vortex
Escape from all your pain
The wounds of time
Endtime is fading away
These scars remain to wish to hide
The wounds of time
Endtime is fading away
These scars remain to wish to hide
Vortex
Into the memorial virtual vortex
Matter and motion endlessly
Into the memorial virtual vortex
Matter ad motion endlessly inndisguise
The wounds of time
Endtime is fading away
These scars remain to wish to hide
The wounds of time
Endtime is fading away
These scars remain to wish to hide
Vortex
Daylight crawls inside
A wasted state this empty slate
Looking back before the memories
Vortex of promise paled and chances failed
This misanthrope's disease
I've torn apart this charcoal heart
No shred of decency, all that remains
Escape from all your pain
Vortex
Escape from all your pain

Blackened is the end
Winter it will send
Throwing all you see
Into obscurity
Death of mother earth
Never a rebirth
Evolution's end
Never will it mend
Never
Fire
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Blackened is the end
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Color our world blackened
Blistering of earth
Terminate it's worth
Deadly nicotine
Kills what might have been
Callous frigid chill
Nothing left to kill
Never seen before
Breathing nevermore
Never
Opposition... contradiction... premonition... compromise
Agitation... violation... mutilation... planet dies
Darkest color
Blistered earth
True death of life
Termination... expiration... cancellation... human race
Expectation... liberation... population... lay to waste
See our mother
Put to death
See our mother die
Smouldering decay
Take her breath away
Millions of our years
In minutes disappears
Darkening in vain
Decadence remains
All is said and done
Never is the sun
Never
Fire
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Blackened is the end
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Fire
Is the outcome of hypocrisy
Darkest potency
In the exit of humanity
Color our world blackened
Actions make history
And we can play our part
There is nothing to lose now
Let the heavens free
Risk
Risk it
Over the borders (risiko!)
Against the rules (risiko!)
Play with fire (risiko!)
And life will be a daring adventure
Lauf!
Many actions
Many questions
Much can happen still
New strivings, new beginnings
Life must go on still
Last night I had a sensation
made me see it all so clear
I hate to see their lying faces
their empty words I hate to hear
they're the evil spreading poison
stand for all that I despise
last night I saw it all so clear
those demons must be excorcised
Banish their spirits - purification
Punish their souls - compensation
The gods of void - They're the gods of void
they are so big - in their world of void
the voids of void - they're the voids of void
they are so void - in their void of void
Don't you feel their twisted minds
all they got is hate for mankind
merciless they run the show
I hate to see their power grow
shut your ears to their charming lies
see behind those pretentious smiles
don't listen to the siren's call
don't let them take control
You know who I'm talking about
you know who they are
get them before they get you
Holding pieces of shattered dreams
accepting nothing for what it seems
closed minds - narrow vision
results are the same - just total division
it's not a game taking pleasure in pain
nothing to win and nothing to gain
wake up to the big mistake
those ways of life that make you break
Moving beyond - shedding the hate
moving beyong - wiping the slate
moving beyond - eith goals set high
moving beyond - new ways to apply
Abuse this norm - slashing at the soul
wreckage results of lost control

I won't give up - I won't cave in
this is human nature - masterplan before life began
generations of life rooted deep
it's scarred to think what the future will reap
From this fragmentation - this crypted scene
Lost amongst the crowd
On the torsos pumping iron
A man with a horn takes to the stage
The drum beat cracks in time
Harder and bolder, the bodies move
Shoulder to shoulder, skin feels smooth
Hot, sticky, still so cool
The crash of the anvil and the nightclub school
Watch the moving bodies
As they react to the sound
Feasting on the visions
See the figures going 'round
Graceful and flowing, the fashion shows
Sensual and glowing, the passion grows
Pick your playmate, still so cool
The crash of the anvil and the nightclub school
Take it as it comes up
Leave it when it's done
Put a number in your matchbook
And call when you want fun
Living the nightlife to the end
Giving the right life like a friend
One more rover still so cool
The crash of the anvil and the nightclub school
Ah nightclub school
Dance with me
Ah nightclub school
Play with me
Ah nightclub school
Stay with me
Ah nightclub school
Ride with me
Ah nightclub school
Have fun with me
Ah nightclub school
Dance with me
Ah nightclub school
You're riding in my car
I turn on the radio
I'm holding you closer
But you tell me no
You say you don't like it
But I know that you're a liar
'Cause when we kiss
Oh...
Fire
Late at night
You're taking me home
You say you wanna stay
But I want you to go
I say I don't love you
But you know I'm a liar
'Cause when we kiss
Oh...
Fire
You had a hold on me right from the start
A grip so tight I couldn't tear it apart
My nerves all jumping acting like a fool
Your kisses might burn
But my heart stays cool
Well Romeo and Juliet
Sampson and Delilah
Baby, you can bet
They were burning with desire
If I say split (You say split)
Then I know that I'd be lying (I know that you'd be lying)
'Cause when we kiss
Oh...
Fire
When we kiss
I'm on fire
Your tenderness
Gives me desire
I can't resist
Your tender lips
When we kiss
Oh...
The cerebrum has suffered massive and reparable damage
You never know what has happened to him
If I have not been sure of this, I would not have permitted him to live
Where am I? Father, what happened? I need help
What is democracy? What is democracy?
It got something to do with young men killing each other, Arthur
What if its my turn, will you want me to go?
For democracy, any man would give his only begotten son
It is impossible for any severed individual to experience pain
Pleasure, memory, dream or thought of any kind
This young man will be as unfeeling as unthinking as the dead
Until the day joins them
I don't know weather I'm alive or dreaming or dead or remembering
How can you tell what's a dream and what's real
When you can't even tell when your awake and when your asleep
Where am I?
I cant remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops with me
Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up, I cannot see
That there's not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh, please God, wake me
They kept my head and chopped off everything
Oh, God, please make them hear me
They won't listen, they wont hear me
They got to wake me up Ill be like this for years, hear me
Back in the womb it's much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I'll live
Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh, please God, wake me
decisions have been made
by the heads of state
they cannot be revoked
the regrets came too late
so the mission is on
and they are on their way
they will come in silence
there is nothing left to say
and they carry the weight
of a thousand suns
and they bid farewell
to the salute of guns
they will darken the sky
and you cannot hide
as there is no shelter
from this terminal ride
hear the heavenly choir
from the vicious sky
no believe no devotion
you are doomed to die
they'll turn the apocalypse
right into fact
there's no turning back
from a suicide pact
first comes the light
then comes the pain
the final tear
will be lost in rain
and they carry the weight
of a thousand suns
and they bid farewell
to the salute of guns
they will darken the sky
and you cannot hide
as there is no shelter
from this terminal ride
hear the heavenly choir
from the vicious sky
no believe no devotion
you are doomed to die
feel the heavenly fire
from the vicious sky
no believe no devotion
Each of you must distinguish for himself
Between the scenes of cold reality and those of pure illusion
The conscious thought the subconscious mind
Finds society over the line tongues are silent when there is danger
Eyes are blind when there's abuse ears are deaf
When someone pulls the trigger nowhere do I see humanity
Don't have to be god to realize no one here gets out alive
But you have your chance - I got mine let's make it better one more time
Peace the world back together again make it all worth existing again
Peace society together again make it all worth existing again
A new society treaty - a bond between man
A new society treaty - it's the law of the land
Constitutions steeped in gold, blood and pride
Living by this caused the great device
Order without authority should be the foundation of a new society treaty
We have seen illusion and reality begin to overlap and fuse
The line between them begins to disappear
Don't have to be god to realize no one here gets out alive
But you have your chance - I got mine let's make it better one more time
Peace the world back together again make it all worth existing again
Peace society together again make it all worth existing again
A new society treaty - a bond between man
A new society treaty - it's the law of the land
A new society treaty - for the preservation of man
A new society treaty - take this extended hand
Originally performed by Metallica
Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey
On they fight, for they are right, yes, but who's to say?
For a hill men would kill, why? They do not know
Suffered wounds test their pride
Men of five, still alive through the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know
For Whom the Bell Tolls
Time marches on
For Whom the Bell Tolls
Take a look to the sky just before you die
It is the last time he will
Blackened roar massive roar fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
Stranger now, are his eyes, to this mystery
He hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
Now they see what will be, blinded eyes to see
For Whom the Bell Tolls
Time marches on
we walk together
one as one
a new existence
has begun
and when I stumble
he steps in
and fills the gap
an evil twin
I follow you
you follow me
there's no difference to see
you get the blame
for what I do
noone believes you
your carelessness
will set me free
I will be you
you will be me
I take your honour
I take your fame
all in your name
all in your name
I kiss your lover
play the game
all in your name
all in your name
a dark companion
on my track
a dark companion
behind my back
and when I turn
- he disappears
i'm left alone
with nagging fears
your carelessness...
I take your honout...
always on your mind
always by your side
always close behind
THE DOPPELGÄNGER
benefit from your pain
shelter yourself from relief
waste a moment to wash your dirty body
telephone a lonely friend who got caught behind
jump behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler
fiddle with farsighted discouragement
another boiling over
standing behind the dead deseased
misfortunately environmented
who is the enemy
you fall behind
get behind the engines
burning, breathing locomotives
and hackle the masses who reside
and believe in the dignent and dark watchtower
get behind the tick, the formula clock
saturated and senile
The Machineries of Joy
Work, work, work, true work!
Pain, pain, pain, sweet pain!

Why not say it like it is
Like you know you should
Before they break your little heart
Ooh, break it good
Feelings on the inside
Never let you down
So why not say it like it is
Even if it don't make your mama proud
Why change your mind when you make it up
Second chances don't come easy, easy for some
Baby I don't know the lock from the key
But I know one of them is you
And the other one's me
So if it's happiness you want
That's what you'll get
You gotta rise up, little sister
Turn on the light
Wise up to the stories you've been told
'Cause love don't come in black or white
No no no no.
My mama tells me I won't get through the pearly gates
'Cause I ain't sorry for my sins
And all my mistakes
Mama I don't know if I'm goin' up or down,
But I know heaven's gonna be one lonely town
But if it's happiness you want,
That's what you'll get
You gotta rise up, little sister
Turn on the light
Wise up to the stories you've been told
'Cause love don't come in black or white
Whoa no no no, whooo no.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh (etc.)
Rise up, little sister
Turn on the light
Wise up to the stories you've been told
Whoaaa yeah
Rise up, little sister
Turn on the light
Wise up to the stories you've been told
'Cause love don't come in black or white
No no, it don't come in black or white
Whooa ooooh
Rise up, open your eyes
Love don't come in black or white
Whoa uh uh, no
Wise up to the stories you've been told
You know, love don't come in black or white
a wish so sinful
a sin so tasteful
a taste so painfull
a pain so wishfull
a mind confused
a cry in the dark
a soul seeking shelter
in another torn heart
words of discourage - struggling for hope
a touch of protection - from a promising hand
between two worlds - caught in decisions
visions of freedom - remain as illusions
invisible ties - a spider's kiss
perfection of lies - drawn toward the abyss
the look of temptation - the fear of sensation
imploding desire - feeding the fire
we're band - we're branded
forever we're stranded
that's what it does to you - the taste of taboo
upside down it turns you - the taste of taboo
a need so joyfull
a yoy so shamefull
a shame so lustfull
the lust so needfull
forbidden desires - craving for more
unknown pleasures - willing to sin for
the lack of perfection - so weak the will
the needed injection - the ultimate thrill
the burning flesh - the sensitive skin
the destroying fire - comes from within
dangerous games - playing russian roulette
with your life at stake - how far can you get
united in hell - paying the price
living for sins - dying for vice
we're band - we're branded
forever we're stranded
that's what it does to you - the taste of taboo
Working for life
Till death do us part
Living for work and no chance to hide
Fighting for us
In the arena of life
My aim is you and my sword is my pride
Working for life (We are gladiators)
Fighting for us (We are gladiators)
One day a hero
Till death do us part
Every day danger
For one day a hero

III: Odyssey of the Mind, Vol. 3
The Last Flood
Another day in the city of pain
Sharing the life of the mad and insane
I'm closing my eyes in awe of the scenes
I cover my ears in fear of their screams
and I'm waiting
The day does not end and so does the night
that covers the streets in darkness and fright
I'm staying awake while the city sleeps
watching the low life, the pimps and the creeps
And I'm waiting
waiting in vain
and I'm waiting
for the cleansing rain
And I'm praying
praing in vain
and I'm praying
for the cleansing rain
And when I look up I can't see the sky
Stormbringing clouds are piling up high
pouring red rain
forming pools of blood
Ever been a victim, abused by the system?
The basis is racist, I know that I must face this
"It can't happen here"
If it don't get you, they'll get somebody else
Hunting, creeping, sneaking, breeding
"Fear and loathing with the lies they're speaking"
The knife, the gun, broken bottle, petrol bomb
"There is no future when the past soon come"
And when they come to ethnically cleanse me
Will you speak out? Will you defend me?
Or laugh through a glass eye as they rape our lives
"Trampled underfoot by the right on the rise"
Ich bin ein Ausländer...
Welcome to the state where the politics of hate
Shout loud in the crowd, "Watch 'em beat us all down"
There's a rising tide on the rivers of blood
If the answer isn't violence, neither is your silence
If you think this doesn't include you
? that we're all outsiders
Take this to a power of ten
And not for the first time, it's happening again
Ich bin ein Ausländer...
