I've lived beneath the rails.
I've bled from the "cat-o-nine-tails"
I was born in the desert-sun
Raised on beating, dragged with the scum
Learned to survive on the run

Killed a man, I was just sixteen
The judge put these chains on me
"We sentence you to the Galley
Pay penance for your crime
He's guilty; Take him aside"

They left me nothing, but my pride
I'll weep, when angels cry!
Who'll say a prayer for a wanted-man,
Now that I am condemned

I won't weep
Still got my pride

I was just sixteen...
when they killed the child in me
Thirteen years on the Galley
I've paid penance for my crime,
The pain is all inside

They left me nothing, but my pride
I'll weep when angels cry!
Can't chain my heart,
Or my hopes for tomorrow
Can't tear me apart...
I've learned how to survive
On the run

Alone in the darkness,
I hide from the light
The dark is my fortress
So cold... the night
I've kept the tradition
My fathers held-high
The past is my prison
'Till the day I die

So indicated, and yet - so obscure
Is everything fated?
How can I be sure?
Fear's been my kingdom
And hate's been my course
I followed a blind-path;
Blood-stained, with no remorse

I see shadows! Are they...
Faces of the past?
I hear voices ! Are they...
Calling from the past?

Alone with conscience,
I ask myself; Why...?
But answers are hard to find
I can't break-away from my pride
I only did, what I was taught to be right,
As my father would have done
Let "History" be my judge,
When I'm long-dead, and gone

I see shadows! Are they...
Faces of the past?
I hear voices ! Are they...
Calling from the past?

Father! It's turned so cold
I see shadows! Are they...
Faces of the past?
I hear voices ! Are they...
Calling from the past?

June - '41, World-war 2nd
At the Russian-frontiers
The Germans are marchin' on
Ready to kill without mercy
Orders from Kreml;
We'll burn down the bridges behind
Burn down the bridges

Back in Berlin they are now
more convinced than ever
The whole world must kneel to the "Swastika"
"Sieg-heil," the "Eagle" has landed
"The third Reich" will rise again.
Yell Sieg-heil!
But weeks turned to months, and the battles
Raged-on. The "peasants"
Were fighting back-still
Little by little the Germans would learn
That Russian-winter kills
Trapped in the snow - it was freezing below
In the "waste-land", the truth was all too real
Taken by storm, attacked from behind
By the Cossacks, the mighty "Troops of steel";
Turned to their heels

Just like Napoleon before
Hitler was chased-back to his own "front-door"
His army was wasted and worn
His "dream" all shattered and torn
In order to save his Berlin,
He now gave the order to...
Burn down the bridges
Yes, it must be done
We're gonna burn'em down
We'll burn all the bridges behind

The winds of war would soon be stilled,
But how lawn will it be...
'Till the missiles light up the sky
To start "World-War III"

Stop at nothing, and always play for keeps
Never settle for the second-best
Never play it cheap

Paradox; If you hide your feelings
Just to be; Nobody's fool
You'll learn; that the master kicks the mule
Stargazer, your castle's gonna fall
You'll be left with nothing at all

Daydreamer! What do ya' do?
When your dreams turn on you

Stick to basics, don't
Fiddle about
Make your move the minute you're able,
Let nothing knock you out

Paradox; If you wait and wonder
Just to be; Sure you ain't misled
You'll learn; the others are way-ahead
Tail-chaser, always the last in line,
Dragging way-behind

Hey, stranger! What ya' say?
Ain't it time for you to realize
That there ain't no easy-way

No easy-way
Take my advice, you must try to hold-on
Don't close your eyes, keep your feet on the ground

Don't stop at anything always
Play for keeps
Don't settle down for the second best
That's just playin'-it cheap

Paradox; If you hide your feelings
Just to be; Nobody's fool
You'll learn; that the master kicks the mule
Tail chaser, you're the last in line,
Draggling way-behind

Hey, stranger! What ya' say?
Ain't it time for you to realize
That there ain't no easy-way

Let my statement be clear
Dear Mr. Editor, don't hang-up,
Lend me your ear
I'm just a common working-man,
Doin' the best that I can
But to whom it may concern;
I've just about had enough

My neighbor looks set in his fancy "Corvette",
With the "stereo"-loud screams
While I ride the subway from Monday to Friday,
Mingling with the crowd
They say that crime does not pay
But-"hell", I'm changing my way
To whom it may concern;
I'm tired of trying to make an honest-living

"To whom it may concern"
I only say; "Let justice be done"

Dear Mr. Editor, this may sound familiar,
But I've paid my dues,
To the society, with pride and in piety
But, what's the use?
Tell me, what have I earned?
I get nothing in return

To whom it may concern;
I'm tired of trying'...I've had enough

Skies were clear that April-night
The mighty ship on her "virgin-voyage"
Shining like a "silver-sun"
Queen of the seas, sailing-on

Hold the course, the captain
Gave his command.
"Full-speed ahead", this is...

The great "Titanic" - yeah
Flags raised-high...
If only they had known
The great "Titanic" - yeah,
'Cross the Atlantic,
Cruising on and on - yeah

She sailed with speed
In glory and with grace
Titanic
Queen of the seas...
(Titanic-down, down)

A "fort of steel" - unsinkable
Built to survive, she sailed to glory
At the iceberg, like a knife..
Cut her open to end her story

"Abandon-ship", I hear the captain cry
"We're going down, let's man the life-boats"
"Save the woman and children first"
"Send out the message"...S.O.S.
(Titanic-down, down)

Can you hear me, God on-high?
Hear my prayer, I need you tonight
Things have turned so - out of hand
There's so much that I don't understand

Don't judge me too harshly
Please, have mercy on me...
in the name of love! The name of love!

Don't want more than is my share
Have patience on your wayward-son
I'm just a man
A long-lost sinner, that's why I'm here
For all the things I've said and done;
Forgive me if you can

Hear me! Be near me!
In my hour of need

Confrontation! In the name of love!
Hear my confession - oh, Lord

God, can you hear me?
Won't ya' give me a sign
I need you near me, need you tonight

Can you see me are you here?
Hear my prayer...

In the name of love!
In the name of love!

Should I care if tomorrow comes,
Care about my brother?
Give a nickel to some charity,
Should I even bother?

The earth rotates continually, so cold and systematic,
Somewhere inside a Universe grown huge beyond belief
But down here we're narrow-minded, there's trouble 'n pain
Cause one man's loss, is another man's gain

Do you identify a friend,
When he needs a helpin' hand?

Take a good look around you, tell me what you see
Are things the way they really ought to be?
See the "bourgeois" staring daggers at the beggar in the street,
While praising the "good-lord" for all his gifts

For the sake of Mankind
We must show we're able...
To turn the tables

For the sake of Mankind
we must show we're able...
To turn the tables
There's a price to be paid
Expect...
Through the ages ever since the dawn of Man,
We've learned how to survive - the hard way
Time, the great-healer, has taught us well;
We've turned 'gainst mother-nature..turned
Heaven into hell. Will we live to tell...?

No - mercy! Expect, no - mercy!
No - mercy!

Hey you! Where're ya going?
Keep your head up-high
And watch your steps
You're in a "jungle", it's an eye
For an eye, where the strongest one's survive
It's do, - or die. You just;
Walk straight ahead and you don't look back
Don't look back.

Hey, Mr. Soft, cut the crap
Take your stand, let no-one
Walk over you

A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do...
And that's a lesson to learn
Don't make the wrong turn
Stand tall and don't give in
Don't give in

You! Watcha wanna be?
What's your ambition - tell me
Do you feel you're left behind?
Or, is it only in your mind?
Your eyes are open, and yet;
You cannot see
Your feet were made for walkin'
Get up from your knees
Remember this friend, for it's
A golden rule;
"Time waits for no-one...
And nothing comes for free...

Hey, whatcha wanna be?
Tell me
To be, or not to be! raddad!
