Mob Rules - Cannibal Nation lyrics



Tracks



01. Close My Eyes

I walked the path for a million times
And got my water from the well
Into the magic of the morning sun
My sleeping fire starts to burn

Should I glow for a better day?
Just twists and turns in the dark?
Or should I go on another way?
To feel the blood in my veins

I close my eyes again - cause I changed my life
To realize no need for a bitter end

When all my troubles seem so far away
And all my pain has come to sense
A searching soul inside a faithless world
A fool to cry rules the land

Should I scream in a poisoned haze?
With fear and hate in the dark
Or did I stumble into another day?
To scratch the blood in my hands

I close my eyes again - cause I changed my life
i close my eyes again - cause I changed my life
To realize no need for a bitter end

02. Lost

So strong - so wrong
So dark and cold inside

You cried but I will try
The day when all seems lost and gone

It´s a world of sad temptation
A world of burning emptiness

My head - is so dead
I feel like someone washed my brain
The day we should have met
the change we never had
the day I felt that you´ve been gone
It´s a world of sad temptation
And a world that´s cold inside

Lost in silence - found my words on the run
Cause I am lost in silence
Put my life into the hands of fate

So strong - so wrong
So dark and cold inside

The words we never read, the truth we never said
The day when all is lost and gone

It´s a world of sad temptation
And a world that´s cold inside

[Chorus]

03. Tele Box Fool

Channel I has love and passion
Channel II sells sex and crime
Soaps and games and fools in heaven
Wash your brain and steal your time

Make a call and win some money
Shake your legs and squeeze your voice
Have a jack or milk with honey
You have the choice

All in all the time is right to cry and turn all the lies
All in all on a day to break the rules
The tele box fool

Channel III they praise the reckless
Channel IV they freeze in hell
Tunes or words so dumb and senseless
Dreams today have souls to sell

Give a call and take new credits
Here´s your drink - wanna by some shirt?
The more you want the less you´ll get it
It's all mud and dirt

[Chorus]

04. Ice And Fire

My life has been lost in shadows
My thoughts have gone up in smoke
The days that we´ve spent out on meadows
Increased all my fear and hopes

Can´t have for fame and glory
Just keep what I rarely get
Before I will tell my whole story
I bless all the friends I have had
Fight for the things that you´ll never forget in your life

Walking on ice and fire
And creeping on poisoned grounds
Still longing for same desires
Feel that I´m still around
In touch to what I really was

Dreams were going so wrong now
I feel my breathing has slowed down
Running in circles and losing my path
Running around with a mask

Remember my poor desperation
The time I was down in dirt
I saw that a godless creation
Can do things that really hurt

Fight for the things that you´ll never forget in your life

[Chorus]

Run before they can come
It´s better to hide and leave
all your dreams behind
Cause man is cruel, is a beast
is fighting the truth
Commits the most vicious crimes
Life is so hard when you find out
The beast in the average men

So run before they´ve begun before
They can rape and turn out the beast in you
And go on the top of a hill find out
That you see your fate is your life in truth

Fight for the things that you´ll never forget in your life

[Chorus]

05. Soldiers Of Fortune

Because of the open fire
See when the tin soldier is falling
Giving up ideas of your peace desire
Feels like you´re losing control

It needs a cry when they force you to kill a child
And tell you instructions to murder
It needs no try to feel when you shoot to strangers
The fear when the army is calling

Take my advice and run for your life

Run before the war has begun
Before the freedom is gone
And trust your way as soldiers of fortune
Come and shelter me from the flames
From places poison remains
Before they call you soldiers of war

In the heat of a furious warfare battle
The freeze as a soldier of passion
There is no need to regret if your mind´s mistrusting
Run and fight for your freedom

Take my advice and run for you life

[Chorus]

See the thin soldiers lose their fortune
And blood that drops into ashes
In the heat of a furious warfare battle
If feels like you´re losing control

Take my advice run for your life

[Chorus]

06. The Sirens

Red leaves are falling
Cold passion all around
A voice is calling
Another perfect sound?

If you´re on the edge of life
Wish to hear the goddess rhyme from sympathy going to mystery

The sirens will never be heaven sent again
Somebody is in sirens hand
Don´t trust them their justice is built on sand
Cause sirens always lie

The earth starts shaking
And the world is breaking down
The siren´s calling
Your feet still touch the ground

If you wish the test of time
Wanna trust the goddess rhyme from sympathy going to mystery

The sirens are never from heaven sent
Cause somebody is still in the sirens hand
Don´t trust them their justice is built on sand
Cause sirens always lie

[Chorus]

07. Scream For The Sun (May 29th 1953)

Ed spoke to god on top of the world
Fighting with mountain extremes
Couldn´t reach the peak until the very last day
Struggling different scenes

Ed touched the sun in the mid of a day
Feeling the grace of god
It´s mother nature that has shown him the way
A path to wash the sins away

Snow romance at a place that man never saw
Snow and cold on the way to go
Ice and frost cut the light

Let´s speak to god on top oft he world
Fighting with mountain extremes
Should reach the summit on the very last day
Struggling different scenes

Ed took the chance for the final assault
A sherpa with him side by side
He passed the point of a turning around
Just longing for the goal

Snow romance at a place that man never saw
Snow and cold on the way to go
Ice and frost cut the light

Snow romance at a place that man never saw after dark
Snow and cold on the way to go
Ice and frost cut the light

Scream for the sun
Scream for the sun
Scream for the sun
Scream for the sun

08. Cannibal Nation

I saw the revolution coming
I watched the people on the street
Remember all the days of fighting
Until the institution bleeds

Can´t stand the hopeless way to freedom
The sense of life they let us know
Another try for better seasons
Remaining lies to let us go

Please welcome the show!

Behind the wall of a cannibal nation
Inside a head where the passion remains
Dream your dream of a civilization
Without fear of pain

Where did they hide the law of justice?
Why did they scream: stand by your guns?
Could you find out where all the dust is?
Hope and pride of a seventh son

Please welcome the show!

Behind the wall of a cannibal nation
Inside a head where the passions remains
Dream your dream of a civilization
The cannibal nation has gone
Freedom is coming along
The cannibal nation has gone

Behind the wall of a cannibal nation
Inside a head where the passions remains
Dream your dream of a civilization
Where all our souls are meant to be free

09. Sunrise

Falling - no life on earth
Feel the breeze of change and the twist of birth

Fading - see me drifting all around
Like the morning dew has kissed the ground

See a world that turned to grey
And keep the book of silence
Leave the past and burn the page
To cool the open flame

Save me - when my desperation comes
And all hope and glory start a game of hit and run

Watch out - there is a shadow on the wall
When the sun goes down you can hear the final call

See my world has turned to grey
And read my book of silence
Leave the past and burn the page
To cool the open flame

Can´t you see the truth behind
The race I never started
The more I´ll get the more I´ll shine
I'm hot like open flames

Sunrise things come clear
It´s the light that shines for a soul in the haze
Sunrise expose the secrets
Like a burning flame that heaven has made
