Now there is this day, a lot of things are changing
Can't just kick it away, got to get things right
Sometimes it happens fast and nothin' seems to last
The thing that I once started isn't mine anymore
I guess now it's my turn

You've got a face like a child, got a mind like a woman
Your smile is warm and tender
I hear the people say that I should stay away
From you and all the problems you might bring
They'll never know--you
Nobody ever knows what to do
They'll never see you cry
They'll never know why

Now it's your turn to break free
When you want it all you've got to see
Now it's your turn to break free
Don't you know when you want the life,
you've got to see what it means

See the little boy holding mama's hand
His eyes can see the things we've long forgotten
The world is easy now--and somehow
He's right
Until there is this day when Mickey Mouse must go away

Now it's your turn to break free
When you want it all you've got to see
Now it's your turn to break free
Don't you know when you want the life,
you've got to see what it means

SOLO

This world is crying to be free
This world is dying can't you see
We need a turn to do it right
We need a mind-revolution
To get away from this selfishness
Stop playing blind, break free

Now it's your turn to break free
When you want it all you've got to see
Now it's your turn to break free
Don't you know when you want the life,
you've got to see what it means

(M&L - Grosskopf)
To give what I got, to take what I need to live, it ain't easy for me,
Darken my eyes, tell me lies, but all nice, tell me how I have to be,
Get me in your foolish game, destroy my defence, lock me in,
Throw me in your lion's cage, 'cos then I'm out of your way,

Cry with the wolves, run with the pack,
Turn around to save your neck,
'Cos someone always keeps you in confusion,
Squeezed in a box, who'll win the race,
Ask no questions in this case,
What's left is only you and your illusions,

Charity is all your duty, they preach you: sharing your goods is your pride,
Patriotic-Love, kill the enemy first, I can hear the other side,
What's the way out of this game? You'll either win or you lose,
I run in circles, who's to blame? Is there a way I can choose?

Cry with the wolves, run with the pack,
Turn around to save your neck,
'Cos someone always keeps you in confusion,
Squeezed in a box, who'll win the race,
Ask no questions in this case,
What's left is only you and your illusions,

I'm juggling on a rope without a net and hope,
I keep my balance 'cos I see them smile with open jaws,
And if I'm falling down, then I will soon be torn.
A squabble over prey: who gets the best part out of me,
To take the needle is a one-way trip without a coming back,
You take it and you still will see reality'll make upon you.

When I hold the key to open heaven's door
I will never make the mistake and give it back
When I hold the key to open my mind before it's too late
I will never give it back

There's just one way I see
The way I think it's right for me
You say to me I will repent what I do
If it's right I'll stop before

When I see the light of sun will fade away
And I reveal what I have loved before
It's too late when I can't see the hours I pay
And I reveal what I have loved before

There's just one way I see
The way I think it's right for me
You say to me I will repent what I do
If it's right I'll stop before

*The life I try to give is
All I have inside of me
It's one kind of life for me
This music you hear
The strength we have inside is
So much more than you will know
But if you can't see the life around
You'll always walk alone

Look at the drunk man, look into his eyes
See his strong hands
But tomorrow they will tremble cold as ice
See the drunk man, try to ask him why
He will laugh, and tomorrow he will tell you another lie
There's a fight in his head he cannot win
Getting stronger, makes him mad, burning sin

You--you cannot hide
You--you cannot describe your feelings inside

Time goes wherever you are, time is your guiding star
That shines all through your life, makes you feel and move.
My dreams are out in the far, so are yours a part
Of secret fairy tales, dripped on the wings of a mystery mill.

Windmill, windmill, keep on turning
Show me the way, take me today.
Windmill, windmill, hearts are yearning
Longing for love and a chance to be free.

Don't feel alone and depressed, someone will come at last
To soothe your stumbling mind, to keep it away from the evil storm.

Windmill, windmill, keep on turning
Show me the way, take me today.
Windmill, windmill, hearts are yearning
Longing for love and a chance to be free.

Time goes wherever you are.

[M&L - Taraxes/Kiske]

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 it's time ? to shake it all up to be free
Now it's time ? to make us some room to let us be
Oh, it feels so bad
Yes, it feels so bad
When everything good looks so bad
When everything right goes so wrong

I am up, to break it all down what's in my way
I won't stop until I am where I'm going to stay
No one holds me back
No, no one holds me back
Don't wanna be what I'm not
But it's gotta be myself who breaks my neck

I look here and you look there, I know it's got to be somewhere
We look around and search around and walk around and hear around
We keep on looking 'til we know what for

If you don't know it, I don't know it, we don't know it, who will know it?
All of us don't know what we should know ? maybe one day we'll know
But anyway we've got to make a stop

Over my head - look over my head you won't see no halo
It's driving me mad - I must hold it back inside

When the sinner searches sin, it's all of us
When we finally search inside, it's under us
We keep on looking anyway
If we don't find it who must pay?
All I've ever done I've done for you!

In my mind - the battle goes on 'til I give up
Will we find - the key of life we once have dropped?
Do you really care?
Tell me you really care!
You may find Mr. Blame
But the guilt of life burns everywhere

Give me light to see my inside, give me light to see my sin
I'd never do what I regret, I've never done anything bad
You must be joking when you point at me!

Hey! Don't you blame me! Don't you touch me!
Won't you ever leave me be?
I wanna live! Don't wanna think! Why should I give what I can drink?
Man! Life is short so I take what I need!

Over your head - look over my head you won't see no halo
It's driving me mad - I must hold it back inside

When the sinner searches sin, it's all of us
When we finally search inside, it's under us
We keep on looking anyway
If we don't find it who must pay?
All I've ever done I've done for you!

Pain!
I feel inside it's such a
Shame!
No one fights fair, but who' to
Blame!
Might be the game of life but it ain't over
Now!
I walk my way firm any
How!
My conscience speaks and there are
Doubts!
But nothing's sure in life and it ain't over
Now!

I look here and you look there, I know it's got to be somewhere
We look around and search around and walk around and hear around
We keep on looking 'til we know what for

Over my head ? look over my head you won't see no halo
It's driving me mad ? I must hold it back inside

When the sinner searches sin, it's all of us
When we finally search inside, it's under us
We keep on looking anyway
If we don't find it who must pay?
All I've ever done I've done for you!

Don't turn your head
Back to the wall
Don't close your eyes
And wait for your fall

If you belive that you know in this time
You've got anything to win
If you believe that you know
Then I say, "You'll lose all again"

Bridge:
In this time there's nothing to get for you
You cannot really do what you want
You're a child, a prisoner in your mind
You are a victim of this hopeless time

You better believe all you do has a sense
It's not for nothing
You better believe all the troubles you have
Will play you someday

Bridge:
Why don't you help yourself and do the best
Put all the bombs back up their builders' ass
Why don't you stand up to say who you are
To show the people that paradise is not far

Chorus:
Oh, can't you see we got the right
To look into the future without no need to hide
No, we won't accept what you do
We stand up 'cause we're not the people you can abuse
Oh, can't you see we got the right
To say we are here to see the light
No, we don't wanna lose all again
Stand up, you people, to save the world
As good as you can

(Solo: both)

We are credulous idiots
And won't understand what they plan
We march with the times
It's what they expect and we do

Why don't you open your eyes
To undercover all of these lies
I think you won't accept this
Go oppose with your fist
Fight for your rights

Chorus:
Oh, can't you see we got the right
To say we are here to see the light
No, we don't wanna lose all again
Stand up, you people, to save the world
As good as you can
No, we don't wanna lose all again
Stand up, you people, to save the world
As good as you can

[M&L - M. Kiske]

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 born in the rotten part of the town
The biggest trap I had seen
Wherever you'll go and wherever you'll get to
Evil is around
My mother's a bitch my father's a killer
Gettin' paid for a murder
Fightin' and strugglin' the whole day
The only way to survive
Wanted from law but they'll never catch me
I'd much rather die in this bloody war

Fly high touch the sky
Never know the reason why it ends
Victim of fate

I had to kill people to save my own life
I don't wanna go to hell
I started at the bottom
I'm heading for the top
I'll never return I'll never go back
To the God damn part of the town
Head-hunters won't get me 'cause I'm not stupid
But this ain't the life I dreamt of
Wanted from law but they'll never catch me
I'd much rather die in this bloody war

Fly high touch the sky
Never know the reason why it ends
Victim of fate

What now lonely man who's standing
In the shadow of the streets
You're left alone with no helpin' hand beside you
You hide from the daylight livin in darkness
You got no friends you can trust nobody
Except for yourself
The only shade that's beside you
Is the shade of Lucifer
Laughing with a satanic smile
And his friend death sharpens his sickle
You don't wanna die do you ? But you will
You will burn in hell

Fly high touch the sky
Never know the reason why it ends
Victim of fate

Fly high, touch the sky, you will die!

I was born in the rotten part of the town

We've thrown away our former gods
Controlling our day
We have created better ones
So we control the way

We are the ones with the power
To hold down the enemy
Our gods are perfection
And they are protecting our lives
We still need some more of them
To be safe from the other side
As long as we're stronger
Nothing will happen to us

Fireflash in the night
Just an evil dream
Holy war in the sky. . . .never

Insania 20 16

Error in store 103
We watch the sun at night
The pretty gods we've built ourselves
Now terminate our lives

Silicon brain powered voices
Are crying "attack" tonight
In anger, burning our world
Doomsday has come
And there is no place to hide away
The future is over
And there is no turning back

Fireflash in the night
Now reality
Holy war in the sky. . . .

*Twilight of the gods
Insania's dead and gone
Another world was born
But the twilight soon will come

Fireflash in the night
Now reality
Holy war in the sky

[M&L - Wolke/Taraxes]

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 -

We're living in a constant fight
Too much pressure everywhere
And all around

Don't let it pull you down
Hold on tight
Cling to your dreams

Don't you depend on someone else
Think for yourself and win the race

The chance you got comes never twice
Do your best, and do it right
Time will come but don't you hide
You are on your way

You're led by God but you're not a pawn
Should live your life, don't care 'bout any scorn

Just let them fool around
No need to cry
Don't give up

Try to be as smart as you can be
I know you own so much ability

The chance you got comes never twice
Do your best, and do it right
Time will come but don't you hide
You are on your way

SOLO

The chance you got comes never twice
Do your best, and do it right
Time will come but don't you hide
You are on your way

The chance you got comes never twice
Do your best, and do it right
Time will come but don't you hide
You are on your way

[M&L - Kiske/Smith]

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!

[M&L - Kiske]

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

Time has come
Start your search for tomorrow
No escape
From that long trail of sorrow
You don't know how it keeps goin' on, oh no

Wake up out of misty dreams
Evil drug is starting to grab you, to grab you

Step out of hell - demons dancing 'round your brain
Step out of hell - streams of madness flow through your veins
Step out of hell - go on like this you're gonna be dead
Step out of hell - take my heand I wanna help (but can I?)

You did your best
To keep yourself down
Give it a rest
And just turn around!
It's only a one way street of lies, yes it is!

Living in a twilight zone
Get away out of that drug jungle, that drug jungle

Step out of hell - demons dancing 'round your brain
Step out of hell - streams of madness flow through your veins
Step out of hell - go on like this you're gonna be dead
Step out of hell - take my heand I wanna help you

Another line, have a good time, you don't mind
To turn your brain inside out
To serve the final rite

Step out of hell - demons dancing 'round your brain
Step out of hell - streams of madness flow through your veins
Step out of hell - go on like this you're gonna be dead
Step out of hell - take my heand I wanna help you!

You're hangin' around and got nothin' to do
You wanna get out some pills in front of you
You fly on invisible wings
Be careful my friend for too many can kill
You say that the meaning of life's in those pills
You forget all earthly things
You swallow your pill you wanna feel free
A trip to a world made of games
You do it again yet it's never the same
But a junkie's not something to be

Chorus:
Starlight fallin' in deep through your eyes
Starlight shinnin' down for your soul to rise

Now there's a needle lying in front of you
I'm frightened of those things
But I know what you'll do
You need it to escape from the night, ha ha
You ride on through heaven you don't feel no pain
You ride on and ride on again and again
On the needle that brings you the light
You feel the mind-blowin' stuff
Flow through your veins
You take off and fly to the sun
But when you get to near your wings will be burnt
You'll die in the flames and you'll fall

Starlight fallin' in deep through your eyes
Starlight shinnin' down for your soul to rise

You're hangin' around and got nothin' to do
You wanna get out some pills in front of you
You fly on invisible wings
Be careful my friend for too many can kill
You say that the meaning of life's in those pills
You forget all earthly things
You swallow your pill you wanna feel free
A trip to a world made of games
You do it again yet it's never the same
But a junkie's not something to be

You ride on through heaven you don't feel no pain

But when you get to near your wings will be burnt
You'll die in the flames and you'll fall

Starlight fallin' in deep through your eyes
Starlight shinnin' down for your soul to rise

(M&L - Grapow)

What keeps on telling me
To stay on the way I choose
What keeps on giving me
All the straight to carry on

Give me some time,
can't sleep anymore at night
I wanna show I'm here with
An aim of mine

I feel strong
But someone's crying I know
It's so hard to find
A sign of a way to go

Don't need to stone my brain
I need my head for something else
I wanna live and learn
Step by step I'm going on

Send me a sign
Don't wanna resign too soon
What situation will come
I can't endure

I feel strong
But someone's crying I know
It's so hard to find
A sign of a way to go

[M&L - Kiske/Taraxes]

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.

[M&L - Kiske]

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!

Is it just a dream or is it just a deja vu from nowhere?
I hide myself my feelings where hurt long ago
Just curious in the middle of a lonely road
I turn myself away through the day

I'm running in the night
Got nowhere else to hide
I'm looking through this wounding heart inside me

I'm walking without aim
No destination pouring rain
Or is it just the end my lonely road

Hear now, I wonder how can feelings hurt
Hear now, when silence speaks louder than words

No regret, another morning in another place
No looking back, just turn myself away
There is innocence and silence that starts long ago
A destiny without you

I'm running in the night
Got nowhere else to hide
I'm looking through this wounding heart inside me

I'm walking without aim
No destination pouring rain
Or is it just the end my lonely road

Hear now, I wonder how can feelings hurt
Hear now, when silence speaks louder than words
Hear now, I walk a boulevard of lonely dreams
Hear now, no matter if is my end is near

I'm running in the night
Got nowhere else to hide
I'm looking through this wounding heart inside me

I'm walking without aim
No destination pouring rain
Or is it just the end my lonely road

I am ready for a fight no matter how you try
I would be the one surviving without fortress

I would mend my broken heart, you can't tear it apart
Or is it just the end my lonely road

Hear now, I wonder how can feelings hurt
Hear now, when silence speaks louder than words
Hear now, I walk the boulevard of lonely dreams
Hear now, no matter if is my end is near

Once there was a time when mankind
Dreamed about reaching the stars
Nowadays we're almost ready
Even for the mars

Some told lies and they were famous
Cause of making many wars
One told right, they punished him
With pain and crucify

What is right and what is wrong
Can I prevent, can I be strong
Quick enough to run away
Or brave enough for here to stay

Time will bring the answer
Will we feed the cancer
We don't give a damn at all

Some get shit and some get lobster
Take my ass into the sun
It takes some time to realize
We cannot eat a gun

The fat gets fatter, the poor stays poor
The money maker sells the skin
But you don't ask and you don't see
The world you're living in

Got my fears and got my doubts
Tell me what it's all about
Should I try a step
Or should I stay and wait another day

Time will bring the answer
Will we feed the cancer
We don't give a damn at all

[M&L - M. Kiske]

Sun-breeze comes down on me
The air is so clean and good
There's no rush and it's understood:
No place for doubts in this neighborhood
Dreams can fly
I heard it said, I heard it cried

A moment of use will fade
A minute from here we're all too late

And Mr. Man is afraid!
If even the stars could fall down
Where to run if they hit town?
When faith disappears
When you drown in your tears
Will you call for the gods you don't fear?

Like birds we sing songs out here
I even saw you flying out there

When the night sings a song of hope
To kill sounds like these we wouldn't dare

Then we die
One lived in pain, one lived in pride
She didn't ask - look - find
He never saw what was on her mind

Cold spirits - Illusions in time
If even the sun will burn out
When all love you've found cheats you loud
When truth runs from you

Nothing real's left to do
Will you fall into mentally blue?

When they come fly, they come from high!
Reveal all lie! All hell comes to end!

Dreams can fly
I heard it said, I heard it cried
A moment of use will fade
A minute from here we're all too late

And Mr. Man is afraid!
If even the stars could fall down
Where to run if they hit town?
When faith disappears
When you drown in your tears
Will you call for the gods you don't fear?

Too late to call for the priest
he is not here anymore
we look at the age of the beast
and we've seen its vast armies form
hear our call

Please, save us
please, save us

In permanent madness we live
no time for life and for love
to take is the rule, not to give
insanity comes from below
to take us all

Please, save us
please, save us

We believe that the phenomena of nature
are the expression of infinitive intelligence
we express our belief that all forms of life
are manifestations of spirit
and thus, all men are children of God

Far from down below one comes prepared to take us all
waiting for his future and the final call

We stand on the edge of the world
just one step more and we fall
guide us and please take our hands
without you we're weak and alone
hear our call

Please, save us
please, save us

Now!

Save us--from the gods of thunder
Save us--from the dogs of war
Save us--from the creeping nightmares
Save us--from the evil's course
Save us--from our own ignorance
Save us--from the man in black
Save us--from the desolation
Save us--from the hate attack
Save us--oh please
Save us--please save us
Save us--oh please
Save us--now!

(Six Sam [Inaudible] can you hear me over
Yes [Inaudible] I can hear you over
Listen we are on back on five, this is not a test
I repeat this is not a test
This is operation sunrise, over

You hear the people talking you walk the wrong street
Painting all things black and step on your feet
Flabby stomach, styled hair, trousers full of air
Their morality is real ours isn't there

They don't know, no they can't see
Our hearts close to the sun
Different in our hearts filled with
That faith we carry on

They just call us savage
That's what I like to be
Let them call us savage
Cause that's what we like to be

See the people wonder we run in our direction
Let the narrow-minded sleep we better do some action
Across the universe you smell the smell of lies
I'm trying to be the winner not the sacrifice

They don't know, no they can't see
Our hearts close to the sun
Different in our hearts filled with
That faith we carry on

They just call us savage
That's what I like to be
Let them call us savage
Cause that's what we like to be

See them run they know no fun
And look what they have done
In this world full of rules
We look just like fools

I know what they think when I see them lookin' at me
(Savage)
We come close every day to the time table life
So mart they start their backwards fight

I know what they think when I see them lookin' at me
(Savage)
One day they will drop the bomb
Cause it's necessary to show the power
One day they will give a shit on what you say

They don't know, no they can't see

Once a singer sang 'bout bullshit
Everyone could see him fall
And be sure it's been his last hit
He's never been seen at all
Some dictator felt progressive
And lay down in the sun
But his people were agressive
They killed him with a gun
Sometimes you're wrong
By some things you have done
You see fate is too strong Nothing's won
No use for a fight
If you're not acting right
You'll be cut down to size Like a live

It's the Rise and Fall
The prize for all
That's ain't nice at all
Luck is like a ball
You can't recall
or care at all
So better use your brain !

A little dragon could spit fire
But never so for something bad
He didn't know the knight's desire
To throw a lance into his head
Romeo love his Juliet
Their parents told them stop
then it all turned out peculiar
He couldn't get it up
And it's vall in vain When you're living
with pain
Reap not goods you have grown by your own
Feelings your like Disapear
over night You sip up every grin free to win
It's the Rise and Fall
The prize for all
That's ain't nice at all
Luck is like a ball
You can't recall
or care at all
You nearly go insane!

A spaceman files the rocket
That takes him to the stars
thinks his wife is in his pocket
but she's strolling 'round in bars
The king of Los Angeles
bought himself a teddy
Bear
And the queen became shameless
She did it with a chair

Sometimes you're wrong
By some things you have done
You see fate is too strong Nothing's won
No use for a fight
If you're not acting right
You'll be cut down to size Like a live
It's the raise and fall
The prize for all
That's ain't nice at all
Luck is like a ball
You can't recall
or care at all
So better use your brain !

Well, I think it's really time again for a revolution
Not to destroy at all costs but have a look at what's there
Can you remember a time when water was still water
Or are you too young to even know what we won't give to our heirs

Inhale the bless of science through your lungs, skin and brain!
I'll surely make our children feel a lot more sane!

Revolution now!

I was born when April guaranteed a sexual renaissance
And today we're all faced with death, rubbers, and AIDS
In '68 some people went out to fight for freedom
They would never ever have thought that their children wear ties

And if you come to San Francisco
You're gonna meet some broken people there

Revolution now!

Some people are much too smart
They know everything before it starts

Eating wisdom with the pail
No wonder when it sticks

In your darkest hour I will sing this song for you

Cry and tell
And slander
Yell and grumble well
So loud for heaven's sake

Pink bubbles go ape!

[M&L - M. Kiske]

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.

[M&L - M Kiske]

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!

Each time when one more year was over
You refused to hear heaven's bells sound
And the happiness in your heart's been set lower
You were searching for friends but no one seemed to be 'round

You merely should think of the good times
'Cos there are so many ways you can go
Take a look at yourself, you're still very young
And big aims always take very long

Now it's time for happiness, stay hard and trust your fate
Don't forget you're something else you'll never be too late
Trust your father's mighty spell you'll never be alone
Fate will always turn out well and you'll be number one

Shout at the world don't care what they say
'Cos your life is now, here and today
Luck is there, ev'rywhere
Go on, reap its good, that's the way

You wanna have truth, relief from your pain
But life takes its toll again and again
Don't fear the night your future is paid
And the tracks to your aims are laid

Now it's time ...

[M&L - Smith/Kiske/Hansen]

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.

When I was a young boy
I had no aim
Neither experience
It wasn't a shame
Most of the time
It satisfied me
But one day I realised
Music is like a rising sun

Time are changing now
And memory fades
I gaze at the photos
A look in the haze
You cannot imagine
How many friends I've lost
It's much too late
For calling them back

Music is like a sunrise for me
It's joyful like a trip in a time machine
Music is like a sunrise for me
It's like coming home

I was always insecure
Sometimes I still am
But I made up my mind now
And look here I stand
I ask myself sometimes:

Is it all worth it?
To fly over mountains
Makes you fall down again

But music is like a sunrise for me
It's joyful like a trip in a time machine
Music is like a sunrise for me
It's like coming home

Hours of lust, hours of tears passing by before my eyes
Today, tomorrow, yesterday...one life
Days of joy, day of sadness come and go to pass me by
A month, a year, one hundred years, they fly

Ohh, one day I will be gone to lead another life
Ohh, and this world will stop to turn around with me
'Cause

*Time...marches
Time...marches
On without us all, never stops, yes

Time...marches
Time...marches
On and on and on, flies eternally

Times of peace, times of fights, constant movement is our life
Can't stop no more, not until...we die
We long for more...eternity, and maybe there's another life
This one is short, no matter how you try

Ohh, but never give up all the hope to lead a good life
No, don't waste your given time to make things worse

*Time...marches
Time...marches
One without us all, never stops, yes
Time...marches
Time...marches
On and on and on, flies eternally

Plese, please help me see, the best way to be
Make a change and we, live eternally
No more wasted years, no more wasted tears
Life's too short to cry, long enough to try

*Time...marches
Time...marches
On without us all, never stops, yes
Time...marches

On and on and on, flies eternally

Hours of lust, hours of tears passing by before my eyes

Days of joy, day of sadness come and go to pass me by

No more wasted years, no more wasted tears

Here is all mankind so proud of their achievements
There is a stone that is warmer than you

Look how we stand in the stream of illusions
No one says a word

Here you laugh and there you cry
All that makes you move

There's no fear for anything
Anything but you

Animals dying for our vanity
Our world is a beautiful place to be free

Drinking the blood of the weak, it's so easy
No one hears them cry

Here you cheat and there you lie
All that makes you gain

One day we will face His throne
There's nothin' we can say

Prosperity, luxury, fast food is rising
It's the rainforest that dies

Here you laugh and there you cry
All that makes you move

Here you cheat and there you lie
All that makes you gain

Feelings come and go - I've never known
Something longs to grow - won't let go
Spirits 'round my head - are whispering
I turn inside instead - of wondering

Deep inside of me - I know there's got to be
A different kind of truth - that sets the spirit free
If I don't wanna know - what's written inside me
How could I see anything - how could I be anything?

Restless minds have searched - long before
The truth will be the same - for evermore
The mightiness of trees - that you can feel
Can give you all you need - just listen still

Here is love and there is pain
It's all around, it's all the same
There's nothing new that I could tell to you

But still there is the universe inside of us that never bursts
We might not know the meaning yet, but I'm sure we can't reject
The truth that is in everything - that is and has been and will be

There is a long way to go - there is a high place to know
There is a world to go through - but there's so much more to do
Until we're home!

Deep inside of me - I know there's got to be
A different kind of truth - that sets the spirit free
If I don't wanna know - what's written inside me
How could I see anything - how could I be anything?

Feelings come and go - I've never known

Come hither to this place and let your mind fly free
For that's the only way how everyone should be
We all need something that we can keep on livin' for
No one needs to tell us what we're doin' anymore

Head on, head on steady - until the end of time
Living, living ready - for livin' ain't no crime

So tell me, aren't we all just one holding the flame
Against al the babbits in this world who build up frames
Some time or tomorrow we will prove them traitors wrong
So make your dreams come true for it mustn't take too long

Head on, head on steady - until the end of time
Living, living ready - for livin' ain't no crime

Now what's the use of livin here and what's it worth
Don't ask but throw away your fear this earth
You are here to live don't think you're here to understand
Don't forget you're no one without someone's helping hand

Head on, head on steady - until the end of time
Living, living ready - for livin' ain't no crime

We poison our hearts
We poison our seas
We burn down the paradise

We're stoppin' good waves
We're losin' our trees
The future looks bright ahead
I don't wonder we'll go under in this river of lies

We're lost in this time
We create so fine
The future we already fear
Seems like no way out, seems like there's no doubt
The future looks bright ahead

We're the kids of the century
We're lost in our games
No time for the memories we look in the haze
We're the kids of the century it wasn't our fault
Ev'rything's done mum, we fall
Let's keep on crying
But sometimes I don't wanna fall

Ev'rytime when you look around things will smile at you
Ev'rytime when you turn around you smell the truth
But you run away from the lies you can't say
Don't run away from the lies you can't say

We're the kids ...
