I can't control it,
You'll never notice,
What you can't see will never be in the open...
It's just a campaign
Of non-believers
They cannot wait until they're facing their master...

I cannot face it,
You'll never know this,
That I am faceless and in need of an anchor...
It's just a new strain
Underachievers
Are waiting for us by the true disaster...

What you try to say
When you are afraid
Is a choice you haven't got...
Once you start to pay
Fear will always stay
Then you know He'll never come...

I've always known that
You couldn't hold it
So what you feel is just a curse on the rising...
It's just a new stage
Of evolution
So now the Lord has fallen down to be broken...

But I will never know
Just what it really meant
As long as it is slow
I know I'm really spent

In need of information
I have heard that you have more than what you need
So you better be tempted to give away
So you better be ready to lead the way...
Deny the accusation
Cause you'll never have the courage to carry on
No you will not ever feed them with the bait
No you will not ever teach them how to hate...

If I find you,
You will never buy the time...
Cause the hour's getting late and you are getting left behind...
Too late for you,
So you better realize...
You were born a legend. Well, but it's over now...

This constant degradation
We can see it in the corner of your eyes
Make me wonder why you judge me by my size
Makes me wonder why you look so damn surprised
I'm in need of information
I need more then you can give
So what you give to me is vital
But what you give to me is sick...

Christ, you will know my name when you begin to die...
Blood, you will taste the blood coming from your mouth...

Slaves go hand in hand to suicide...
When the silence speaks the loudest word...
Have you never asked the question: why?
Maybe silence is the blind man's eyes...

Down, you get beaten down and never will you rise...
Cry, no you never cry, you let it pour inside...

Slave...

This might make me strong,
I'll grow weak in the end.
Determined to wear me down
They cannot wait to begin.
I'm bound to badged and then planted again, oh no...

So why behave...
In civil ways...
Cause so much's at stake...
And you still can break...

Tide nor time tarrieth no Man,
The battle is won, but we have lost the war...
Beyond the shadows I crawl, 'neath the stench... of dying men...

From the eternal sea that he rises,
Creating armies on either shore,
Turning Man against his brother
'Til Man exists no more... no more

I will try to buy my freedom
I am cursed with golden chains
And the walls are getting thinner
Will I survive these phantom pains?

I still believe there's something wrong.
It's getting hopeless, cause it can't get much worse.
What other choices, should I have made here first?
There's no excuses, are we a waste of skin?
So does it matter? If I would lie down still.

Put the gun against my temple
Ask the question by my grave
Hope the end will make you wiser
Tell me where was God today?

Try to share your sparkle with me, try it all alone...
Maybe we will come and visit, if you've got a clone...
Cause it's long over due if you get it made...
Cause it's warm in the sun 'till you get the shade...

Maybe you have come from heaven, may the darkness fall...
You will tell us with a whisper, so no one hears it all...
Cause it's long in the night, when you have to say...
That the loneliest light will be joined again...

You want the rest of me inside,
Taking the whole acclaim...
You want to know where I have gone,
Maybe just fell it's shame...
You want to feel it standing tall,
Taking a modest bite...
When you can feel I cease to fall,
Maybe you'll see the light...

When the red light's flashing to you, you will have to go...
Maybe someone else will follow, maybe no one knows...
When the time isn't right, but you have to stay...
When there's no one around, you kneel down and pray...

Now that you have come to smite me, I will strike the blow...
You will never get any pity, the trauma has begun...
And you try to reach out, but there's no one there...
And you feel so unarmed, when the smoke has cleared...

You want the rest of me inside,
And you will take the whole acclaim...
You wanna know where I have gone,
So you can feel ashamed...

Somebody called and you're the servant.
Somebody called though not your name.
The table's turned now have you heard this,
You're gonna be the receiving end...

Your legs are numb, but you're still standing.
Your brain is dumb, but it's still clear.
And if you're tied up I'm still walking...
I'm really in though it's too weird...

I can't deny you all the pain,
It's such a long way,
Still such a long way...
I can't deny you all the shame,
It's such a long way,
Still such a long way...

I shove you down and you respect me.
I shove it down and you are fooled.
I lay the bait and you just swallow.
The blood is warm, the pride is bruised...

As you're kneeling down below my altar right before me,
Your knees got worn throughout the years...
If you think I'm done before it is all over you,
Try to get this past your ears!

The card up your sleeve is showing
They're calling your bluff
And now that you need to keep going
You sure have had enough
You're starting to feel a bit strange
Deranged is a plus
Cause when they get you at close range
No need to discuss!

The roof, the river, revolver...
The roof, the river, revolver...

And now it is getting darker
The evil sets in
Beware! Now the dead will haunt you
They know where you've been
Your kind will not last around here
It's perfectly clear
And if you come out high and mighty
You will not appear ...ever again

You're dead and you know it
You're dead and you know it
You're dead and you know it
You're dead and you know...
Know, know, know...

So long, may you have a pleasant growth
Safe and sound, don't you try to keep them both
Cause everywhere you turn there is another side
So lonely, cause we keep each others hands in line...

Man of fire, sounds like ocean waves...
Man of fire, takes you to the grave...
You will know how it feels to get rid of all restraints...
Man of fire, he will cave you in, cave you in...

Belong, but that's not what you have done
Tied and bound, like you're lying under oath
Cause everywhere you turn there is another lie
So lonely, even though you've kept your hands in mine...

Say it once
Today
Let the weight
Drop dead
Well I should...

Wonder why
Don't dare
Let your grief
Away
Well I could invite you all in this war...

Arms control
A waste
Just a wreck
No spare
Let it fold...

So refuse
To die
Broken clouds
The end is nigh
Well we could invite you all in this war...

This end won't justify the means
The truth has been a little bent
Your men will turn into machines
Is that the letter of intent?

And still we march right into war
Like serpents trying to feel warmth
And soon it all will just implode
This nuclear storm will leave you cold...
