I came down But my head went up I had no doubts And hope there was not Break it loose Spread the news Get it loud Make it loud Sing it! I got it comin´ there is nothing that can stop me I feel it comin´ there´s no limit to the free me The sky is open and the angels sing it so clear Be true to yourself! I have found I once was lost I came round To see what it costs Kick it up To the top There´s a lot Hear it! Don´t wanna look back, got to start tosee the future Don´t wanna hold back got to let it out and to ya The bomb is ticking, I know it´s gonna blow up Right now there´s nothing, no one, nowhere that can make it stop! Be true to yourself! |

Well better it is when you can hold on to it When you keep the grip to push it higher The further you get the more you use it up You got to look for news and you better do! Give me something that'll do the driving I will take while driving's what we better do! God send whispers, shining colour pictures go all through my head A new light shines over everything I ever knew and everything I did! I hear you calling my name I hear you calling just the same How could I know that I would get to see it When I keep the laws of all our fathers? The more I pray the more they take control The more they bless my soul and I want 'em to! Up to the stars that's where my soul is flying And I see that nothing else matters With everything that my heart can take They gonna lift me up and I see the truth! God send whispers, shining colour pictures go all through my head A new light shines over everything I ever knew and everything I did! I hear you calling my name I hear you calling just the same And I wanna fly so high when I die! I hear you calling my name I hear you calling just the same And I wanna fly so high when I die! |

When it gets to red No air to breathe Then I am thinking What if I go now? When I feel upside down The pain don't leave Then I am thinking: What if I go now? You may believe here's all you want to achieve. Can somebody help him!? You may believe I'm not brave enough to leave. A little bit of life is more than everything you're begging for. Hey! Is somebody out there? Somebody tell me there's some living in this crazy world Hey! Somebody somewhere! Can you feel the cold and emptiness in this crazy world Hey! Somebody help me! Somebody take my hand and lift me up to something good Oh, when somebody's leaving, It's got to be me sometime, it's got to be me sometime. When it was too much Of pleasure blood That she was taking (she thinks:) What if I go now? When it all comes down To lies and truth And no one gives in (she thinks:) What if he goes now? You may believe you're all that's possible Somebody tell her! You may believe you miss all the cream and more! A little bit of light is more than everything you're wishing for! Hey! Is somebody out there? Somebody tell me there's some living in this crazy world Hey! Somebody somewhere! Can you feel the cold and emptiness in this crazy world Hey! Somebody help me! Somebody take my hand and lift me up to something good Oh, when somebody's leaving, It's got to be me sometime, it's got to be me sometime. |

Black winds and blue waters A universe of sounds Emptiness and sunshine It's all the same She dreams about flowers And opens up her mind When she is near it's oh so clear I'm waiting I'm waiting for the day without a sign I'm waiting to show the love I kept inside She's burned out without love She's thinking about to go The memories the apologies and everything So what're you gonna do girl? Everyone thinks you're a fool child You tried to love, it breaks your heart breaks your heart Sweet child come take my hand I know the reason why you're sad All the love I have I give to you Come on smile, look at me Show me what you really feel All your tears will dry before the night I'm waiting for the day without a sign I'm waiting to show the love I kept inside She's burned out without love She's thinking about to go The memories the apologies and everything So what're you gonna do girl? Everyone thinks you're a fool child You tried to love, it breaks your heart breaks your heart |

My heart is burning In my head it's turning Can't open my eyes Till I'm really myself I got a fever, A reason to move on, A reason to speak out The word of the words. Can I kick it higher? Please let me be a fire! Is there a little time for me? The morning light comes closer I feel it near! Break down the walls! Wash away all the pain! New horizons drawing near. The change will come and say it clear. Things we know they cannot last Don't cling to the past. Hey there! If you care! Don't sleep through the changes! Don't creep like a dog Try to wake up and see. Higher and higher The journey will take us We all got to grab To the stars up above! Can I kick it higher? Please let me be a fire! Is there a little time for me? The morning light comes closer I feel it near! Break down the walls! Wash away all the pain! New horizons drawing near. The change will come and say it clear. Things we know they cannot last Don't cling to the past. Save yourself and free your heart The keeper of life is around Keep your head high and march! Here I go again It's your last chance to join in. Can I kick it higher? Please let me be a fire! Is there a little time for me? The morning light comes closer I feel it near! Break down the walls! Wash away all the pain! New horizons drawing near. The change will come and say it clear. Things we know they cannot last Don't cling to the past. |

Did you ever ask yourself About the way things might have been? Did you ever blame yourself About the mess that now you're in? God I hate you! But should I hate you? Did you ever ask yourself Why everybody's looking at you? Did you ever ask yourself If there's anything left to do? I know! You hang my head You burn my heart You break my neck You're hunting me! I'm angry - can you feel me? I'm hungry - for the truth! I'm hunted - like a madman I suffer - just like you! Have you ever been really down And seen it all from there? Will you hide your glory now Or do you want to share? Did you ever think about The chance that you did wrong? Did you ever think about That no other chance may come? I know! You hang my head You burn my heart You break my neck You're hunting me! I'm angry - can you feel me? I'm hungry - for the truth! I'm hunted - like a madman I suffer - just like you! |

There is no place for me
And no one to set me free There is no way to go There is no place for me Where it's warm and where I can be At least there is no place that I know Sometimes it's hard to see that you're running out of luck Right now it's my own life I don't know With everything I did I was the one who laughed Yes I was always tall and smiled Yes everything I did I thought would always last And I felt always strong inside now There is no place for me And no one to set me free There is no way to go There is no place for me Where it's warm and where I can be At least there is no place that I know But I'm fine, I'm alright even though there's nothing left 'Cos what it means I'm sure will show Somewhere along the way I lost the key for it But I was always true inside Somewhere inside myself I'm praying for a bit Of what was always open wide..... When I look around there's only broken glass I see And everywhere I reach it's hurting me Looking back I find there was not much how it should be It's slowly killing me! I got to go, kick all dust off my shoes Take all that's good inside and turn it 'round 'Cos with everything I did I was the one who laughed Yes I was always tall and smiled Somewhere inside myself I'm praying for a bit Of what was always open wide..... |

Downstairs, left floor no one opens that door Next to the old man Some light now and then I do care, look everywhere And when I get a chance I surely will share Some say it's not my scene But I think someone's got to keep the house clean A middle class working man, that's what I am People like me, we all do what we can All these whole worlds in those heads We'll see where it all gets My fingers are crossed anyway If time isn't on our side I don't think we'll keep our pride I get my thrills With all kinds of overkills Never get enough I don't think I ever will Have you seen the magazine Where man kills wife and kids 'cos of a failed dream? I think it's hot and: thanx a lot! For the ten great shots of car crashes that now I got Around the corner was an accident Was cool blood, so I went All these whole worlds in those heads We'll see where it all gets My fingers are crossed anyway If time isn't on our side I don't think we'll keep our pride There is not much I feel Can't tell what's fake or real I've got to see some blood Oh baby: Thanx a lot! If I had some money That would be so cool I'd buy a lot of guns to be nobody's fool I'm smarter than you and the president I will be laughing in the end All these whole worlds in those heads We'll see where it all gets My fingers are crossed anyway If time isn't on our side I don't think we'll keep our pride |

Well I see all those faces Who'll never believe in this world Oh I, I've been wasting so much time Time to get into their minds Oh I will never close my eyes Will never lie It's time to make it happen Go inside Time's passing by We are getting closer to it Come and take my hand Leave behind the nasty world That surrounds you and I And finally we fly We can make it If you really want you can get it Get it out of your head - Well I've seen all those places I've seen all the pain in this world Oh I, I've seen them waste their lives Day by day, living lies Time's passing by We are getting closer to it Come and take my hand Leave behind the nasty world That surrounds you and I And finally we fly We can make it If you really want you can get it Get it out of your head - Crime! Time! Time's passing by We are getting closer to it Come and take my hand Leave behind the nasty world That surrounds you and I And finally we fly We can make it If you really want you can get it Get it out of your head - |

I'm sick of finding there is no one you can trust I'm sick of hearing money making's a must I'm tired of seeing people slander behind backs I can't stand seeing you sneaking up my arse! I get ill when I see what people do for cash How little love means and everyday it means less Headline-lies to feed the hunger for hate Can anybody tell me that it's not too late? But I see light - It shines so bright Can anybody say what is happening to me? Can anybody say? Even art is sold for the cheapest success To express yourself means nothing I guess?! But I'm telling you all, there's nothing else that I'll do 'Cause what keeps me goin' ain't the praise from you! Mr. Smart is loud calling everyone to roar Calls himself a real friend, the perfect friend I'm wishing for! I know he just means good by trying to tell me how to play It' just I don't give a shit 'bout anything he'll say 'Cause I see light, it shines inside Can anybody say what is happening to me? Can anybody say? This business's a lie - I don't believe in it - This business's a lie Well it's hip to be stupid - so I like to be smart And when they say it's all over - I like to give it a start And when it's hip to be hip - I hive a hip hip shit And when they want me to go on - I'm pretty sure that I quit I ain't running this race - it ain't worth a tear I won't sweat for this - to me everything is clear If now I didn't make a point - there is no point to make I don't want a piece of your cake! It's all cheap and dumb - A sick after money run I didn't mean to wake you up - but I slept too long I won't fight with fools and that is really victory There are sides to choose and only one will let me be I know I got some friends, but even if there's just a few I won't feed the blind, no that's the last I wanna do! What means everything to me no one gives a damn And what's nothing in my eyes is held high up in their hands Don't wanna please anyone, don't wanna give what's been asked And what's the first for you, for me it's the last! |

I once was a blue eyed
I once dreamed I was free I once dived in a life-spending sea And heard the voice of the priest I once heard the angels singing the song of the cross There was no fear no doubts in our hearts No soul could ever get lost I prayed to the heavens above I reached for the sky full of love Awaited the luminous sign to hear what's heard by the pure-restless mind Now you can see me return I look for the priest to make me learn Will I remember the past Make me return to the best Do I remember a life in the dark age of time I hear it call in my dreams Maybe I was not alone Maybe I called friends my own Together hearts full of love I know my heart says the truth Maybe it was me and you I got to return to the wind This world is never our home Somewhere I left friends alone Can someone show me the way Do I remember a life There once was the mystery that now sings in my heart The fire in my veins talks so loud about the past, about the place where the love for our hearts starts We once moved through the cold fields Strong and safe led by the gods The voices in the wind sang the children to sleep Free spirits looked clear through the dark I pray to the heavens above I reach for the sky full of love I wait for the sky full of love I wait for the luminous sign to hear what's heard by the pure-restless mind I see the twelve around the One The mystery truth to carry on A fight against the strong earth-kings The sungod's light we had to bring Do I remember a life in the dark age of time I hear it call in my dreams Maybe I was not alone Maybe I called friends my own Together hearts full of love I know my heart says the truth Maybe it was me and you I got to return to the wind This world is never our home Somewhere I left friends alone Can someone show me the way Do I remember a life Oh god help me to understand me Guide me through visions I see So far you carry my soul back in time The past shows the future to climb Oh god did I once be there by your side Will I once return to your light So far away from this world leads your love My heart gets the wings of a dove and flies Oh god help me to sing you this song I pray for your kingdom to come |

And they walk by - feelings mutual If I would try - I'd try to watch those trys to move a little closer to the try I get my handshake - it hurts the bone I Leave the debate - long before the debate kills the conversation that was talk I could cry I could feel so lonely I could cry for me Is it good Or is it even better Would you cry for me, me? If that's your vow - let's hear your prayers! It suits us now - but now is gone and little's won if yesterday feels better now Give a sign - a sign of giving Show your spine - We kill the beast for liberty will liberty help to kill the beast? I could cry I could feel so lonely I could cry for me Is it good Or is it even better Would you cry for me, me? I kiss the end still in touch with the start I'm coming down with the eyes on the up I drink the sun and I eat the smart when I got all mine! When I got all mine! [solo] I could cry ... |

On our long uneasy way Never there, never stay We please ourselves, eat ourselves It gets us through the day Maybe we should pray 'cos we all are gonna pay For the arrows for others That we shoot up today All senses are numb, The candle grows cold In questioning hours All answers are sold The bitter taste on your tongue You wash it down with some cheap fun The arrow cuts deeper The cheating gets done I don't know! Deep down within - we all feel the sin From darkness we raise - but it still hurts them too We all save our piece - just begging: oh, please Make it go away - all thinking 'bout those who freeze outhere It's a myth when we say: Give love It's meaningless, meaningless Sounds like the croak of frogs We preach out in the blue But never change anything we do Our words have no weight And our wisdom won't do I don't believe In your american dream No more, no way It's all not what it seems We always hear them pray Thanking the lord for the money days And the anger grows stronger In those who failed the play I don't know! Deep down within - we all feel the sin From darkness we raise - but it still hurts them too We all save our piece - just begging: oh, please Make it go away - all thinking 'bout those who bleed outhere Changing colors, changing facades, Changing fashions, changing masquerades. New generations, oh! with whole new conceptions. So it won't go away that caricature of man. |

You pretend that you own the stars And all of your days are free You believe that you fill the hours And you size how far to see! Tell me what it means to be! Show me what it means to feel! I know that you think that you're real! Sooner some will get the matter! Sooner one will tame forever! Sooner than you know what you are! Sooner one will match your limit! Sooner one will soon regret it! Sooner than you know who you are! You believe that you know the cure Born with a golden arse! This poem has been heard before! But some seek the new, god bless! Give me a word that means! Show me a truth that feeds! And sell me some more than you see! Sooner some will get the matter! Sooner one will tame forever! Sooner than you know what you are! Sooner one will match your limit! Sooner one will soon regret it! Sooner than you know who you are! When you search turn your head to tomorrow! While you awake clean your heart tasting sorrow! You can go! .... Sooner some will get the matter! Sooner one will tame forever! Sooner than you know what you are! Sooner one will match your limit! Sooner one will soon regret it! Sooner than you know who you are! |

Some say the prize is paid Some preach eternal pay Where you go nobody knows! Before you came to me Life was light and clean Where we go nobody knows nobody! Forget tomorrow! We have today! And we steal the night? A good try will show! Can we go and leave it? Words alone won't do! When their lights get dim let's see what still glows! Will you stay with me When HE can't set me free? Will you love me when nobody knows my name? Would you see me through When I'm just a burden for you? Can I catch you when nobody knows your name? Say we're together! We stop the time! These feelings come from where spirits fly! Come see our treasures! Let's tolerate! These spirits come from where wishes fly! From where wishes fly!... |

Now you're well educated All you speak sounds so well All class is demonstrated There's really not much to tell With perfect look and perfect smell With perfect style, all perfect well: Watch your blue if your precious black! Nothing you do could bother All that you wear looks clean You satisfy your father In everyway life looks green No one ever makes it better No one ever beats you, never: Watch your blue if your precious black! But I - it seems I don't mind I'm wasting a lifetime to bring down What could wear that crown My head - grows heavy instead A heart made of stone Potential unknown! In darkness we kill our partners In darkness we speak our minds Don't let us look inside there! Who knows what we might find? Get it on and get it all No one wins by thinking small: Watch your blue if your precious black! And I ... Stay what's to stay! Say what to say! Pray when you pray! Fear when you fear! Here comes the feeling lonely And here comes the feeling blue Innocence's lost so truly Innocence's gone, that's true I - it seems I don't mind .. |

I was the one to shout When my shoes were tight Now I'm doing better babe I've changed parts of my strategies Still I'm shooting straight I swallow what goes wrong There's no in-between And nothing's ever what it seems And it always seems allright (yeah,yeah) I still come down after fights (yeah,yeah) I'm alone on the streets tonight I am lost but I will get it right Silent anger chews my heart to mush Dirt stains on me like a skin And you always gotta see me again! No longer cursed with doubts Yes, that would be a life! But life won't take our lessons babe It takes its prisoners when it dates I've seen, you've packed your things For what tomorrow brings I doubt preparing's possible For something so untouchable And I always seem allright (yeah,yeah) I still come down after fight (yeah, yeah) I'm alone on the streets tonight I am lost but I will get it right Silent anger chews my heart to mush Dirt stains on me like a skin And you always gotta see me again! Yes it always seems allright (yeah,yeah) I'm alone on the streets tonight I am lost but I will get it right Silent anger chews my heart to mush Dirt stains on me like a skin And you always gotta see me again! |

When you say your love is outrageous I'm not trying matching with you Fear eats through the ages Swallows all good that we do When IT comes close tonight I grab as much of IT as I can get my hands on The sound gets clear and bright And bitterness is far I understand: time demands pain And constantly we kill all youth In unison we sing in vain If we don't care for truth Still we paint our intentions blue-ish Life-fakes get colored pink It's the days of the foolish Where men steal the sky with a blink When IT shows what's inside We take IT or leave IT or just roll on with our lives Superficialized We can't hear when IT calls I understand: time demands pain And constantly we kill all youth In unison we sing in vain If we don't care for truth Let's pretend the circle is cornered and stones will turn into gold Let's try to make the sea turn red Or to grow up before we get old When IT comes close tonight I grab as much of IT as I can get my hands on The sound gets clear and bright And bitterness is far I understand: time demands pain And constantly we kill all youth In unison we sing in vain If we don't care for truth If IT is IT, IT saves the day If IT is not we earn our pay Is IT was IT has seemed to say We get IT anyway! |
