Equilibrium - Renegades lyrics



Tracks



01. Renegades - A Lost Generation

I'm waking up with purpose
Unholy soil on me
A bracing wind of insight
Is coming from the sea

Unleashed by a broken shadow
I can sense an endless flame
The rain of a lost generation
Is calling out my name

Crush and tear
The frozen sky apart
Shout and cheer
Revive the sleeping heart
Full of pride
We climb the iron tower
Deep inside
We're full of pagan power

A stream of cold reflections
Is pounding on my chest
Surrounded by vile creatures
Prospecting and obsessed

But I don't care about fuckheads
And all this ignorance
The more you share your madness
The sooner I will dance

Crush and tear
The frozen sky apart
Shout and cheer
Revive the sleeping heart
Full of pride
We climb the iron tower
Deep inside
We're full of pagan power

Crush and tear
The frozen sky apart
Shout and cheer
Revive the sleeping heart
Full of pride
We climb the iron tower
Deep inside
We're full of pagan power

02. Tornado

A starving ghoul
Lies in my soul
His aim is clear
He wants my fear

He starts to blare
To my despair
The sound of agony
A hellish symphony

I hear my sanity
I hear the demons in my head
With all the reasons to decline
If I could die

I hear my inner child
I hear it crying every day
This is the moment when I rise
I close my eyes

Let me walk to the bright tornado
Let my fear turn into dust
I got rid of my lifelong shadow
I got rid of my senseless crust

So many days I've spent in chains
With all the caution in my veins
I need to take hold of the lance
To fight for my deliverance

I hear my sanity
I hear the demons in my head
With all the reasons to decline
If I could die

I hear my inner child
I hear it crying every day
This is the moment when I rise
I close my eyes

Let me walk to the bright tornado
Let my fear turn into dust
I got rid of my lifelong shadow
I got rid of my senseless crust

Do you want to give up your ambitions?
Do you want to pretend to be fine?
You cannot lie to yourself and pray
Otherwise your life will slowly fade away

Let me walk to the bright tornado
Let my fear turn into dust
I got rid of my lifelong shadow
I got rid of my senseless crust

03. Himmel Und Feuer

Auf meiner Suche nach Glück in jedem Land
Wurde mir klar, es passt nicht in meine Hand
Das Gold aller Taten, so laut es auch knallt
In ferner Zukunft ist es längst verhallt

Der Himmel und das Meer
Die Freude viel zu schwer
Wenn ich die Bilder seh'
Und hier im Regen steh'

Das Feuer und die Glut
Sie tanzen in der Flut
Dass ich sie damals fing
Ist heut' mein Hauptgewinn

Direkt vor mir und auch kilometerweit
So viel zu seh'n und doch viel zu wenig Zeit
Die Düfte, die Lichter, das Lächeln von dir
Gemeinsam sind sie jetzt ein Teil von mir

Der Himmel und das Meer
Die Freude viel zu schwer
Wenn ich die Bilder seh'
Und hier im Regen steh'

Das Feuer und die Glut
Sie tanzen in der Flut
Dass ich sie damals fing
Ist heut' mein Hauptgewinn

Ja

Der Himmel und das Meer
Die Freude viel zu schwer
Wenn ich die Bilder seh'
Und hier im Regen steh'

Das Feuer und die Glut
Sie tanzen in der Flut
Dass ich sie damals fing
Ist heut' mein Hauptgewinn

04. Path Of Destiny

More pain, more gain
Another reason for you to complain
Coming from a black-white screen
That coldness makes you scream

Depraving, enslaving
Entirely appraising
These stones are way too small
So kill 'em all

I spread my arms and run
My quest has just begun
My mind is free
For my reality
So many ways to fly
No need to justify
My mind, so free
This is my destiny
(Aw, yeah)

All gone, all right
Entering just another fight
You've got to learn every rule
You've got to tell them: "Shut up, fool"

Then take it and break it
'Cause that's the only way to make it
Your goal for the next decade
Is to become a renegade

I spread my arms and run
My quest has just begun
My mind is free
For my reality
So many ways to fly
No need to justify
My mind, so free
This is my destiny

(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)

?Hier komm'n die Prollgermanen im Berserkerwahn
Es gibt die Breitaxt in die Fresse und dann fliegt der Zahn
Alle Schwänze in die Luft an die Metalfraktion
Ihr habt die Hörner und der Hüfte, wir die Schwerter aus Carbon
Reiten zum Freudenhaus und pflügen deine Mama
Dieser Sound ist wie der Mjöllnir, Wingthors Hammer
Wir hol'n die Goldketten 'raus und du hast eingenässt
Denn es ist E zu dem Equilibrium und T zum B zum S, junge"

Yeah

I spread my arms and run
My quest has just begun
My mind is free
For my reality
So many ways to fly
No need to justify
My mind, so free
This is my destiny

This is my destiny

05. Moonlight

Yeah

When the daylight turns away
And the hidden beings start to play
When the mist returns with pride
And the stars are forming side by side

This is the reason
We don't fall asleep
This is the reason
I need to go deep

This is the reason
I don't close my eyes
This is the reason
I don't believe your lies
(Your lies)

I can see the fire
I can feel desire
I can hear the silence of eternity
I will guide you
I will light your way
Until the day will dawn again

Walking on the secret trail
Don't care about the holy grail
Even when I'm all alone
I'm not afraid of the unknown

This is the reason
I don't close my eyes
This is the reason
I don't believe your lies

I can see the fire
I can feel desire
I can hear the silence of eternity
I will guide you
I will light your way
Until the day will dawn again

I can see the fire
I can feel desire
I can hear the silence of eternity
I will guide you
I will light your way
Until the day will dawn again

06. Kawakaari - The Periphery Of The Mind

Our world is a strange place
We all feel kinda lost sometimes
We all hide behind a poker face
Feeling like we've lived hundreds of lifetimes

A generation, oh, we are the lost ones
Controlled by false values
Always on the hunt for purpose and the next kick
Pressure is making us sick

You don't know where you belong
Always searching for a place to feel safe
They told us to be strong
But sometimes this leads to our darkest grave

Are you already dead on the inside?
Is there nothing left you wanna fight for?
Let me be your spiritual guide
You have to trust me, there is so much more

Don't wait till you're broken
Don't leave your soul's words unspoken
Don't hide your true spirit
Let us all be strong and feel it

We are the ones
Who run with the wolves
Let's burn our misery
We are the ones
Who run with the wolves
Let's trust universe's synergy

I thought I had it all, but you can see the change
Life is totally messed up at times
I know now that colors come in a range
We crave for help in hard times

But there is no such thing called 'God'
We need to understand this is just flawed
The real power is in our hearts
Even if we first need to pick up the missing parts

Wake up, we are all free
It's all about equality
Wake up, we are all enough
Where is humanity?

Don't wait till you're broken
Don't leave your soul's words unspoken
Don't hide your true spirit
Let us all be strong and feel it

We are the ones
Who run with the wolves
Let's burn our misery
We are the ones
Who run with the wolves
Let's trust universe's synergy

Burn
Burn
Burn
Burn that fear
Burn
Burn
Burn
Burn that factitious sphere

This is a new generation screaming
Whoa
Aim for freedom but don't you stop the dreaming
Yeah

I can see it in your eyes
I can see it deep inside your soul
I can see all your hard tries
But let a kickass life be your sacred goal

Don't wait till you're broken
Don't leave your soul's words unspoken
Don't hide your true spirit
Let us all be strong and feel it

We are the ones
Who run with the wolves
Let's burn our misery
We are the ones
Who run with the wolves
Let's trust universe's synergy

07. Johnny B.

[THE HOOTERS Cover]

It's a sleepless night
She's calling your name
It's a lonely ride
I know how you want her
Again and again
You're chasing a dream, yeah
But Johnny, my friend
No, she's not what she seems

Johnny B
How much there is to see?
Just open your eyes
And listen to me
Straight ahead
A green light turns to red
Oh, why can't you see?
Oh-oh, Johnny B

And when you drive her home
Is she sitting real close?
Does she make you weak?
Well, that's the way that she wants you
You're strung out again
She's taken you over
You've been here before
Why can't you let go?

Johnny B
How much there is to see?
Just open your eyes
And listen to me
Straight ahead
A green light turns to red
Oh, why can't you see?
Oh-oh, Johnny B

Whoa

Oh, why can't you see?
(Oh-oh, Johnny B)
Just open your eyes

And when she calls your name
My sweet Johnny B
You can drive all night
And you know she'll be waiting
To love you again
Her kiss is her poison
Forever inside you
Wherever you go

Johnny B
How much there is to see?
Just open your eyes
And listen to me
Straight ahead
A green light turns to red
Oh, why can't you see?
Oh-oh, Johnny B
(Yeah)

Johnny B
How much there is to see?
Just open your eyes
And listen to me
Straight ahead
A green light turns to red
Oh, why can't you see?
Oh-oh, Johnny B

08. Final Tear

Whoa

A sky of poison
Is falling down
The black horizon
Presents its crown

Thunder and storm
Are talking to you
There's no turning back
And no getting through
You cannot deny
The end is near
Get ready to wipe
Your final tear away

Infernal fire
Across the land
The guard of balance
Declines your hand

You didn't see the warnings
Of Mother Earth
Now you will get in return
What you deserve

Thunder and storm
Are talking to you
There's no turning back
And no getting through
You cannot deny
The end is near
Get ready to wipe
Your final tear away

"You have ignored us in the past
And you will ignore us again
We have run out of excuses
And we are running out of time
We have come here to let you know
That change is coming
Whether you like it or not
The real power belongs to the people"

Yeah

Thunder and storm
Are talking to you
There's no turning back
And no getting through
You cannot deny
The end is near
Get ready to wipe
Your final tear away

Thunder and storm
(Thunder and storm)
Are talking to you
(Are talking to you)
There's no turning back
(There's no turning back)
And no getting through
(And no getting through)
Yeah

09. Hype Train

(One, two, three, four)

The road is clear and the engine warm
The time is right to put on my uniform
The jacket fits and the shoes are tight
There are 70,000 miles to ride

I take control of my working tool
I double-check the type and the amount of fuel
The pressure indicator starts to move
And the pistons are dancing on the groove

Yeah

So here we are
Once again
End of the line
There's no way back now
Let's go (let's go)
Let's go (let's go)
You wanna live forever?
Because it's now or never

It's now or never
The light is flashing inside me
It's now or never tonight
Come with me
(Oh, oh)

It's now or never
The light is flashing inside me
It's now or never again
Come with me
(Oh, oh)

Yeah

Let's go, let's go

The rays of fortune
Are searching for me
With all my passion
I step outside and play

You wanna live forever?
Because it's now or never

It's now or never
The light is flashing inside me
It's now or never tonight
Come with me
(Oh, oh)

It's now or never
The light is flashing inside me
It's now or never tonight
Come with me

Come with me
Let's go, let's go
Let's go, let's go

10. Rise Of The Phoenix

The time has come, I won't look back
And if I do, I won't regret
The change of seasons has found its way to me
Every leaf has to separate from its tree

I will go wherever
No matter how far
Nothing lasts forever
Not even the stars
And if I die
I'll not be afraid
A young bird will be flying
And I will release my shade

I had to learn that letting loose is a part of life
And if it hurts, I know that my heart will survive
For all the treasures that I have to leave behind
New ones will lead me back to peace of mind

I will go wherever
No matter how far
Nothing lasts forever
Not even the stars
And if I die
I'll not be afraid
A young bird will be flying
And I will release my shade
