Oppression's ruling our land
The years have passed so fast Many tried to change something Impossible in the past But now that there are beter days And we have changed a lot We all should stand together now And tell them what we want A new horizon's there Let us take the chance It's growing everywhere And life gets a sense Freedom should kiss our land We ought to be free but we're not They try to put us down We have to change a lot We We are The People It's our land and our life We We are The People You cannot turn you can't survive Now It's time to resign We have to do it now The change of the government It's the only solution You You can't ignore us Open your eyes and see You can't go on like this anymore You know Your system has failed There's no need to try again You've lost our confidence Long ago, it's too late Now it's time for you to go This was not our way We are the ones you were working fpr So listen what we say We want to live in freedom now No terror and no fear We almost did it, no rest now The victory's so near 02. Behind My Mask
Can't you see
My eyes are burning They're fire and pain And they show me the world so unreal Can't you see My mind is running I'm almost insane Nothing makes sense to me Can't you hear My mind is crying Crying for help Why doesn't nobody hear me I feel So alone now They're watching my face But a mask is all what they see Behind my mask You can see all my fears Behind my mask You can see all my tears Behind my mask You can see my real face Behind my mask You can see my disgrace Don't talk to me I can't understand all your words Don't bother me Just leave me under my curse Fly with me I'm heading to my inner skies Just wait and see I'm not at home, look in my eyes Can't you see My eyes are burning They're fire and pain And they show me the world so unreal Can't you see My mind is running I'm almost insane Nothing makes sense to me Too much stuff Too much for me Everything turns upside down I'm feeling bad So sick and tired Everything's dancing around Don't trust my face My starry eyes I can't control my inner self Is this the end Or just a rest I'm under the drug's evil spell 03. Act Of Violence
In the streets, there's your life
The only place you rule Here you're a king No one else can be You know the rules of this game And you know it is all true The strong survives And the weak will die There's no one else harder than you There's none as cruel as you The harder you get The higher you get Only violence rules the street There's no place here for love Don't trust your friends It will be your end You can hide all your feelings But you never will stay the same You may think this is life But someday you will see who's to blame Committing a new act of violence Now again You played your game A few more on your list How many more Will have to die Will it stop now Is it enough Or do you need some more More begging for mercy, more cries of pain You can hide all your feelings But you never will stay the same You may think this is life But someday you will see who's to blame Commiting a new act of violence The day has come for you To feel what is pain They beat you up my friend again and again You were so stupid When you thought this is cool Now you're the victim, man So now who's the fool? Now you pay For the things which you've done Of course this is not fair Four against one But you know All the rules in the street Only the strong survives This time it's me (Why you're crying, man? Does it hurt so bad? You're dying, man Oh, it's so sad...) You can hide all your feelings But you never will stay the same You may think this is life But someday you will see who's to blame Committing a new act of violence 04. Grey
You ask your dad
Why you have to stay at home Everyday the same old staffy room He tells you the same old story If you go out you'll be sick tonight Then he starts to talk about it The days when everything was allright The sky was blue and bright Not dark and grey The air was clear And you could go out to play There were green hills and flowers No buildings and no toxic power The sea was full of life No plastic bags and no pools of oil Mankind destroyin' its home The greed has taken the world by storm Without any consideration It teaches man to kill the planet Which he is living on Soon there will be no more chance For him And he has to lie in his Self digged grave... You ask yourself Who is responsible Who had the right To steal your life You are not guilty When you were born it was all too late Look out of your window And ask this big grey sky about your fate 05. Delusion
Realize
They'll come upon us all If we want change Maybe they are too strong If you wait Our chance is getting small Then they are right And suddenly you're wrong The aim is clear Absolute power No dissenters They raise the fear Protecting themselves with fascist ideas Don't you believe Their power's growing up Too many people Voting for their aims Listen to me If they're coming into power They'll change their faces And you're the first to go A big delusion For all who believed in them No one could know Everybody would say No one can help Now it's too late If we had learned from the past They will pray Remember the past now What happened there The same situation Fascists everywhere Patriotism Is what they did pray Anything that is different Destroying your fatherland A big delusion For all who believed in them 06. Drilled To Kill
You don't know
The thing which you're fighting for But you know how to kill Since your dad Has sold you to them, your life's changed You have to do what they say If you don't obey They'll beat you up Listen what they say And fear the power they've got All your life You will be a warrior of peace or war You don't know Since your dad Has sold you to them, you've got a gun And something to eat No more mercy You're drilled to kill and to die Oh boy - can't you see You're drilled to kill for their lies Why do you feel so alone now You see the enemies face You have to fight, but you know how Shoot him there's no time to waste This was your seventh victim Looks so funny when they fall Nobody said it's bad thing You have shot 'em and that's it all You don't know The thing which you're fighting for But you know how to kill You've got no choice Like other boys You're just an instrument One of their toys Sometimes you remember This time long ago You remember your father But it's hurting you so 07. Make Your Choice
Did you ever ask
What this all means Did you ever ask Why this all seems so meaningless Will you ever Know the truth Will you always Take the rough with the smooth Nobody ever can tell you more Than you know from thinking about it Nobody ever can sell the truth 'Coz nobody has the answers In this world we live in It's better you don't think about But when you're alone Who will help you to take your doubts If there's any god Why he leaves you alone Is he deaf or blind Or why does he hurt you so You don't even have a friend You want nothing more Than bring these thoughts to an end The whole life is so meaningless You've got two things to choose The first one would be suicide But you don't know what you lose The other thing's forget it all But it's easier said than done So make your choice and hope you're right You know this is no fun Make your choice Make your choice Make your choice Make your choice You don't know what you have to do You didn't decide yet You'll go insane if you try to forget There's no place for you to hide 'Coz there will be no one with you There's nobody here to help So if you have the will to live Go on and heal yourself Make your choice Make your choice 08. Chato's Land
They hunt him through the prairie
For what he's done They don't want to let him flee They call him a bastard For what he's done He shot the sheriff down Now he's dead Twelve against one They're on his trace They think he's got no chance They don't know This is his land He waits until his time will come They killed his son And destroyed his family They raped his wife And enjoyed the pain he feels Too late now Never changing his aim Revenge The hunt goes on and on They're sure they'll win There's no doubt about They have to kill this bastard This is the law For sure they won't give up Until he's dead Who will win This evil game Do they know They're in Chato's land In this desert They will go insane Will they die Here in Chato's land They think they'll get him But who gets who They've got no chance Here in Chato's land He will get them Just one by one They will die Here in Chato's land He won't give up Until it's done He's looking for his revenge There's just one left Last one to die He wants to bring it to An end They killed his son And destroyed his family They raped his wife And enjoyed the pain he feels Too late now Never changing his aim Revenge 09. Still Alive
You promised me
The whole world In fact you're thinking I'm a jerk You tried to fool me Like all the others You brought me nothing But pain and sorrows Wait Till I come into my own I let you feel all my Hate So watch out and stay away You better believe me You fooled me once You fooled me twice I was insane 'coz I took your advice I lost my money I lost my job So take care honey 'Coz I'm not your friend anymore I am screaming When I think about you I can't believe it That I was such a fool But now it's over You won't hurt me again I was so wrong When I trusted every friend I'm still alive It's good to live without your lies I'm still alive So you can kiss my ass good bye You've been my friend You told me so But this is really Long ago Why did you turn Your back on me You thought I'm stupid I would not see it Wait Till I come into my own I let you feel all my Hate So watch out and stay away You better believe me Now it's enough You had your joy It's my turn now And I'm not coy I show you how Revenge can taste I better start now 'Coz there is no more time to waste I am screaming When I think about you I can't believe it That I was such a fool But now it's over You won't hurt me again I was so wrong When I trusted every friend I'm still alive It's good to live without your lies I'm still alive So you can kiss my ass good bye I'm still alive It's good to live without your lies I'm still alive So you can kiss my ass Good bye 10. Driftin' Away
Is this the way I'm leaving
This cruel awful world I feel how death is creeping Inside every nerve I can feel my mind is floating My body lies there I'm heading for the light And I'm driftin' away I'm driftin' away Oh driftin' away All the pain is getting smaller The higher I get I can hear the voices calling There's nothing I regret I'm driftin' away Oh I'm driftin' away |
