01. War

Music by Richard Z. Kruspe
Lyrics by Richard Z. Kruspe, Terry Matlin
We're burning at the stake now
Our angels from a far
Have come to live in ghost towns
Their tombs were black and charred

I've seen the messengers
But they were not for me
They said we're black witches
Parts of an industry

War – This is what it sounds like
War – Cries unsynchronized
War – This is what it sounds like
War – To keep us terrified

We keep the cameras rolling
So we can televise
All that we've been controlling
To keep you mesmerized

Why could the right explosions
Just like celebrities
Commercialize religions
And their inequities

War – This is what it sounds like
War – Cries unsynchronized
War – This is what it sounds like
War – Co keep us terrified

War – This is what it sounds like
War – Cries unsynchronized
War – This is what it sounds like
War – To keep us terrified

War – This is what it sounds like
War – Cries unsynchronized
War – This is what it sounds like
War – To keep us terrified

02. 1234

Music by Richard Z. Kruspe
Lyrics by Richard Z. Kruspe, Terry Matlin
[feat. Benjamin Kowalewicz]

Hey!

Love and delusion
It's a low kind of show
But the crowd means it sold
Tonight (tonight)

Kiss or contusion
Take a hit, better stick
To the script I direct
With a fist tonight

Eins, Zwo, Drei, Vier
Everybody down
Kill the lights now
Get up off the ground
Fall in line
Fall in line

Nights out and crashin'
We come up from the coat
Paint our faces in gold
Tonight (tonight)

Beat that old bash in
Leadership take the tip
Better shoot from the hip
Don't resist tonight

Eins, Zwo, Drei, Vier
Everybody down
Kill the lights now get up off the ground
Rip those cages from that dirty sound
Dance in time
Let's swing and move the town

Love and delusion
It's a low kind of show
But the crowd means it sold
Tonight

Eins, Zwo, Drei, Vier
Everybody down
Kill the lights now get up off the ground
Rip those cages from that dirty sound
Dance in time
Let's swing and move the town
Fall in line

Eins, Zwo, Drei, Vier
Everybody down
Kill the lights now get up off the ground
Rip those cages from that dirty sound
Dance in time
Let's swing and move the town
Fall in line

03. A Million Degrees

Music by Richard Z. Kruspe
Lyrics by Richard Z. Kruspe, Terry Matlin
I feel it rotting away
My world of decay
It's taking over
I need to break free
What's happened to me?
When nothing else matters

Burn bright, gyrate
Something's coming over
Speak by heart rate
Now it's taking over

I'm A Million Degrees burning sky
Blind with killing disease that's inside

How could I ever repay
What's fading away
Still I wander
The travel with me
I cannot just be
Cause that's all that matters

Burn bright, gyrate
Something's coming over
Speak by heart rate
Now it's taking over

I'm A Million Degrees burning sky
Blind with killing disease that's inside
I'm A Million Degrees burning sky
Blind with killing disease that's inside

(I'm A Million Degrees burning sky)
I'm A Million Degrees burning sky
Blind with killing disease that's inside
I'm A Million Degrees burning sky
Blind with killing disease that's inside

04. Lead You On

Music by Richard Z. Kruspe
Lyrics by Richard Z. Kruspe, Margaux Bossieux
[feat. Margaux Bossieux]

My father probably would disown me
But I don't give a damn about it
What's your story, you can't bore me
I wanna hear about it

We connect, we connect, we connect
We connect, we connect, we connect
I won't let you forget

If it's a secret I can keep it
I won't tell a soul about it
Make me happy, you can have me
I'm the one to keep you honest

We connect, we connect, we connect
We connect, we connect, we connect
Don't ever forget

I'm gonna Lead You On
Nobody saves me
I'm gonna Lead You On
I'll make you understand

I'm gonna Lead You On
No one is waiting
I'm gonna Lead You On
Nobody cares in the end

What's your problem, we can solve it
We can find a way together
We're at bottom, we're at heaven
Taking care of you forever

We connect, we connect, we connect
We connect, we connect, we connect
Can't let me forget

I'm gonna Lead You On
Nobody saves me
I'm gonna Lead You On
I'll make you understand

I'm gonna Lead You On
Noone is waiting
I'm gonna Lead You On
Nobody cares in the end
I'm gonna lead you

Babe, dream on
Babe, dream on
Come with me, makes you see
You and me, it's destiny

I'm gonna Lead You On
Nobody saves me
I'm gonna Lead You On
I'll make you understand
I'm gonna Lead You On
No one is waiting
I'm gonna Lead You On
Nobody cares in the end

I'm gonna Lead You On
I'm gonna Lead You On
I'm gonna lead you

05. You Are So Beautiful

Music by Richard Z. Kruspe
Lyrics by Richard Z. Kruspe, Thomas Borman
Down baby, gonna drag me down
Down to the ground
I want you
Drag me down baby, gonna drag me down
To the underground
Why don't you?

Down baby, drag, drag me down
Won't make a sound, I want you to
Drag me down, baby drag, drag me down
I'll carry your crown if I can go to

You're So Beautiful
You're So Beautiful
Are you ready for your fall?
We disintegrate in love

Down baby, let's drag it down
Down to the ground
I'm with you, you can only be safe and sound
When I'm around I got you

Down baby, we're going down
Won't make a sound
It is all you
Drag us down baby, drag, drag it down
Lay it on the ground
How could you?

You're So Beautiful
You're So Beautiful
Ready for the fall
We disintegrate in love

You're So Beautiful
You're So Beautiful
Are you ready for the fall?
We disintegrate

You're So Beautiful
You're So Beautiful
Are you ready for your fall?
We disintegrate in love

You're So Beautiful
You're So Beautiful
Are you ready for the fall?
We disintegrate

06. Hide and Seek

Music by Richard Z. Kruspe
Lyrics by Richard Z. Kruspe, Terry Matlin
I see the end of time
Go black as a thundercloud
It goes and goes, and it's changing up my face

I feel it on the inside
Chewing up and spitting out
Another me and another you
Are we the same?

Who's who?
When mirrors don't reflect you?

Hide and Seek
Where's the light we need?
Everybody's inside out
Slipping and slipping and slipping away

All high from touching eyes
Got so high to keep us down
But don't they know that they can't keep us in place

'Cause we became the headlines
The news on the underground
We're so low that the vultures sit away

Hide and Seek
Where's the light we need?
Everybody's inside out
Slipping and slipping and slipping away

Hide and Seek
Turn on the light we need
Everybody's on the ground
And we will find you near

Who's who?
When mirrors don't reflect you?

Hide and Seek
Where's the light we need?
Everybody's inside out
Slipping and slipping and slipping away

Hide and Seek
Turn on the light we need
Everybody's on the ground
And we will find you near

07. We Are Together

Music by Richard Z. Kruspe
Lyrics by Richard Z. Kruspe, Terry Matlin
All the ways that we hold onto time
Such a shame it's passing us by
Holding on to you
Don't disappear
All the roads try to make them unwind
No windows blinding outside
So much more and still
I want to stay here

Hold on tight
To an explosion
It is better
When the sting is keeping us here

We are Together as one
As one we will stay
We've been forever as one
And so we'll remain

All those nights lived out the day inside
Memorizing flickers of light
See the clouds of smoke
'Til you become clear

'Cause all we have
Is this moment
It's better
When the sting is keeping us here

We are Together as one
As one we will stay
We've been forever as one
And so we'll remain

We are Together as one
As one
As one

We are Together as one
As one we will stay
We've been forever as one
And so we'll remain
We are Together as one
As one we will stay

08. Let's Go

Music by Richard Z. Kruspe
Lyrics by Richard Z. Kruspe, Till Lindemann
[feat. Till Lindemann]

[Richard Z. Kruspe:]
I find myself scratching at the bottom
I'm so impossible and you knew
Everything that I've discarded
Has left my hands black and blue

[Till Lindemann:]
Du musst mir gar nichts sagen
Ich verstehe dich mit dem Augenschein
Zwei Herzen in mir schlagen
Eins ist deins und eins ist mein

[Richard Z. Kruspe & Till Lindemann:]
Let's Go for another day
Light up time for a memory
Ride on (Ride on) is what we used to say
Stand here, survive another day

[Richard Z. Kruspe & Till Lindemann:]
Remember back to where we started
Behind the eyes broke something new
Something big and sweet and rotten
But most of all something true

[Richard Z. Kruspe & Till Lindemann:]
(To the end) Some will never see
(To the end) Just another day

[Richard Z. Kruspe & Till Lindemann:]
Let's Go for another day
Light up time for a memory
Ride on (Ride on) is what we used to say
Stand here, survive another day

[Richard Z. Kruspe:]
Let's Go for another day
Light up time for a memory
Ride on (ride on) is what we used to say
Stand here, survive another day

[Richard Z. Kruspe & Till Lindemann:]
Ride on (ride on) for another day – For another day
Ride on (ride on) survive another day – For another day
Ride on (ride on) for another day

09. I'm Not Afraid

Music by Richard Z. Kruspe
Lyrics by Richard Z. Kruspe, Terry Matlin
[feat. Cardinal Copia]

[Cardinal Copia:]
I'm a stranger and no one
Not in anybody's view
I am Jaded, I'm no fun
And I keep on moving through

Haven't heard from God above
No more pain for point of view
No salvation where I'm from
Wonder who is fooling who

[Emigrate with Cardinal Copia]
All, all the hands I have laid
All written along my face

I'm Not Afraid of anything
I just let it go
And now I take on everything
To get out from the hole

[Emigrate with Cardinal Copia]
On the street that I remained
Some have made another hole
Could it be that I'm to blame?
When the ground has turned so cold

Can it be an audacing?
Can it be a guarded hole?
And what we say is just a game
The one we play till we get old

All, all the hands I have laid
All written along my face

I'm Not Afraid of anything
I just let it go
And now I take on everything
To get out from the hole

I'm Not Afraid of anything
I just let it go
And now I take on everything
To get out from the hole

[Cardinal Copia:]
I'm Not Afraid of anything
I'm Not Afraid of anything
I'm Not Afraid of anything
I'm Not Afraid of anything
I just let it go

[Emigrate & Cardinal Copia:]
I'm Not Afraid of anything
I just let it go
And now I take on everything
To get out from the hole
I'm Not Afraid of anything
I just let it go
And now I take on everything
To get out from the hole

10. Spitfire

Music by Richard Z. Kruspe
Lyrics by Richard Z. Kruspe, Terry Matlin
I'm clouds of revolution
I am the storm of raid
I rule the world of nations
I will inseminate

Time has no hands to hold me
No time, no fan of god
Tied up and sitting pretty
Tied up and counting stars

All I've been thinking of (Spitfire)
All in the name of love now (Spitfire)
All I've been thinking of (Spitfire)
All in the name of love now (Spitfire)

Stole my mind from pollution
Stole my mind from the day
Stole life like I'm a handgun
I've stole them all away

All I've been thinking of (Spitfire)
All in the name of love now (Spitfire)
All I've been thinking of (Spitfire)
All in the name of love now

All I've been thinking of (Spitfire)
All in the name of love now (Spitfire)
All I've been thinking of (Spitfire)
All in the name of love now (Spitfire)

11. Eyes Fade Away

Music by Richard Z. Kruspe
Lyrics by Richard Z. Kruspe, Terry Matlin
If I could see the end I've taken better aim
And get you in my side and blow away your name
Find a way to over medicate
I drive so far away it all goes up in flames
I try to get high when I see no other way
To let the light in fightning through another day
If I could only drain you from my veins
Wash away what once was it all goes up in flames

Your Eyes still Fade Away, fade away from me
When I look deep inside feel nothing 'til it feels right
Your Eyes still Fade Away and I don't wanna see
There's nothing left alive, I'm burning on the inside

And still, I take it with me everywhere I go
Followed by memories I wish I didn't know
I'm dividing, turning into stone
Another shadow and I'll go up in flames

Your Eyes still Fade Away, fade away from me
When I look deep inside feel nothing 'til it feels right
Your Eyes still Fade Away and I don't wanna see
There's nothing left to life, I'm burning on the inside

[solo: Richard Z. Kruspe]

Your Eyes still Fade Aaway, fade away from me
When I look deep inside feel nothing 'til it feels right
Your Eyes still Fade Away and I don't wanna see
There's nothing left to life, I'm burning on the inside
Your Eyes still Fade Away, fade away from me
There's nothing left to life, I'm burning on the inside
(Burning on the inside)
