Standing at the crossroad, waiting for the storm
I can feel it coming on the wings of dawn So many years, I've walked alone - down the long way home 02. River Of Pain
I don't believe in tomorrows - you'll never change my point of view
My fears and sorrows running down my spine, I tell you I watch my people dying, I watch them go - I don't know where the skies are crying, washing out their blood into the.... The river runs away Turns red and looks like a vain The river shows the way Away from bloody rain The Gods of war are calling, I hear their voices in the wind The sun is falling - another day is gone, another sin I see the star of sadness is touching bodies on the ground Somebody's madness just took my life and turned it upside down The river of pain - we're all betrayed and sold The river of pain - my land is dead and cold The river of pain - when I close my eyes The river of pain - spirit never dies My time has come I'm leaving, my mind is tearing me apart I wanna die believing in common snese and wisdom of my heart 03. Tearing Down The World
Every empire was raised by the slave
Built through the ages - destroyed in a day Solid walls your golden cage, now it's time to turn the page Tearing down - we're gonna burn it To the ground - you'll never learn it Watch us now - we're tearing down the world Tearing down - by bits and pieces To the ground - we'll never miss it Watch us now - we're tearing down the world Brother to brother, father to son No one recalls when the madness began - and nobody cares! Can you live your life in hell, can't you hear the warning bell? Water's like acid and heaven's like hell Whole world's like paper and steel What should we do it if won't ring a bell Tell me just what do you feel? Drink out of the ocean and stare down the stars Burn down the forest and steal food from the hungry, you made it so far Tell me just how do you feel? 04. Message To God
The one who's watching my shoulder - get a life
I see your arms are nailed to the cross but your eyes are so alive I never thought you're lying but now it's turned around So many hearts are dying - you've let them down over and over again Can't reach you, can't meet you I gave you everything I've got You hear me, don't leave me It's my message to you, God Can't see you, can't feel you I've lost just everything I've got Forget me, you've left me It's my message to you, God We're busy burning witches the way we've learned from you We're good at killing creatures, so teach us something new, come on! One of your own creations is kind of hard to understand You, freak of nature - just tell me why did you create us man? Traces on the floor, I can't hear the door closing me right inside my dream, it's a sign from him - let me be Sunrise through the dust - future in the past chasing me Shadows on the wall, voices down the halls calling me over and over again 05. Long Way Home
When the night is calling I shut another door
Celebrating loneliness I've never known before I miss a place to call my own - it's a long way home In my open prison cell just everything I've got disappeared in silence every word I've said is not And now I'm lost and all alone - it's a long way home It's a long road, but even longer for the blind And I've been searching way too long Still I can't find the place where I belong It's a long way home You see me suffer on my knees - I wish I knew just what it means You watch us come, you watch us go - he tells me something I don't know You've set me up, I thought I'm free - just tell me where you wanna be Another step and I'll be gone - what you will do can be undone 06. Time Will Tell
You shut the door, you let me hang myself
You've turned your back on me and now I'm gone So listen, ask yourself, can you undo what I've done? You told me lies you've tried to put me down You showed me hell because that's where I've been I hope you're happy now - I didn't like what I have seen Yeah, I do appreciate You're the one who gave this kind of fate to me, but I can't wait until Time will tell - you're on your feet so far, but only time will tell how long it's gonna last Time will tell - you're reaching for the star, but only time will tell if shadows from the past will bring you hell You just can't get enough, you broke my heart You're so rich now you can ski uphill Tear my life apart - you never ask me how I feel Life is going down the drain You got pleasure, all I got is pain - you're driving me insane Rest your weary head my son, all your trouble's just begun Close your eyes, unchain your heart - help you God Full of hate as you have always been Drop your gun 'coz anger is a sin 07. Silent Scream
White dress, torture in disguise, pointing flashlight right into my eyes
Sharp pain every single night - every day I fight a hopeless fight Look, over thirty years I've wished that I was dead Somebody, help me out, 'coz I'm tied down to my bed I'm looking for someone to release me I'm waiting for an angel from my dream I'm talking to all of you around me I'm asking you - tell me can you hear my silent scream? Dear God gave me such a life full of pain, it's sharp just like a knife I can think, but I can not tell, what's life to you to me is hell I hear the storm outside - first drop just hit the roof I'd die to see the rain, but I can't .. move .. If living is my cross, so let me die or crucify me now, but tell me, can you hear my silent scream? Time stays still - only I can feel when the darkness will appear Every day I wished away my fear 08. It's Over
Look, broken moon shines through the clouds so restless
Cold, even light just touched the hill of sadness Flash back - it all happens again Traces of tears will be washed off by rain Over, it's over, look I'm goin' down but you can't see anything Over, it's over, King is Dead - Long Live the King I'm on the same path to the cross as last time they'll crucify me once again - you've broken my heart As you did it before Judas I'll wait, come and knock on my door Over, it's over, they just shut me down and when won't do anything Over, it's over, King is Dead - Long Live the King |
