1. Liquid Bliss
A glassy stare across the room
Reveals of a life that burned up too soon
The price for pleasure is so high
In a world of sorrow
You needed just a little more
To find out what you're really living for
You turned a handful of dreams
Into dust
You've got two coal stones in your eyes
Your life is like a bunch of lies
Did you ever realize
The blood-stained reality
You shiver from the coldness inside
Cold turkey hits you by surprise
You sink into an eternal isolation
You rolled the dice with your life
And found your sweet paradise
Now you know the ugly truth
You're livin' a nightmare in disguise
Tell me man who is gonna wipe away
Those tears of blood
You can feel the needle sticking under your skin
A burning rush and the smell of sin
The poison corrupts your mind
With confusion
You have lost the sense of time
Your lifeless lump ain't worth a dime
At the end of the line
There'll be no tomorrow
Liquid paradise
Nightmare in disguise
2. Hollow Men
You look a bit pale under your blanket
Didn't see the sun, but you saw the sunset
It's a bit shame
You look a bit pale
You haven't got a gran to meet in afternoons
Didn't feel OK - You skipped school
It's a bit shame
You don't feel OK
Watching four o'clock rerun
Eating lunch from the barrel of a gun
World has gone crazy
Out of it's mind
You got an idea
You heard it from a seet
Watching the five o'clock rerun
Wondering how it will be done
It's a voice of a lost generation
A bit shame
It's the way we head to the end
Not with a bang, but with the hollow men
You got a big hole in your raincoat
If storm break out you'll need a boat
It's a bit shame
Now it starts to rain
You spent five years in the famous high-school
Graduation day didn't wait for you
It's a bit shame
You did it in vain
Watching six o'clock rerun
The barrel is filled up, up to it's brim
It's a voice of a lost generation
A bit shame
It's the way we head to the end
Not with the bang, but with the hollow men
Mind masturbation in your lazy chair
You missed all the action cause the game was so fair
Eruption is close, but you will never come
It's a voice of a lost generation
A bit shame
It's the way we head to the end
3. Savage Ritual
A picture comes to silverscreen
Air floats serene
Pieces join the company
Walls around me
Time takes a lie
In the opening scene
But I don't eat this shit
About Adam and Eve
Page by page the book reaches the end
Written and read, but left unsaid
Ultimate greediness got four souls to feed
No use to preach about wound not yet seen
Nature signs an evergreen
Reminds me of black trees
Rain drop falls on a leaf
It corrodes the skin and the cancer wins
Acid razor cuts my face
- To whom it may concern -
After the raid left in disgrace
- To someone who may care -
Written in rock
My last will
- To someone who may care -
- To whom it may concern -
Figure, shapes, colors and the magic sound
Hills, lakes, springs and the wind
4. So It Goes
Pouring rain beats the raincoat
By the ruins of war
Wet steps echo from the walls around
But sounds fade in the rain
Walking fast he comes to a square
Takes a look up to the sky
He throws a dime in a wishing well
And hopes for sun
Two laps
On a merry-go-round
Kiss of fortune
In A wheel of life
[ Chorus ]:
''Good life needs luck'' - I'm alive
''Someones bad luck'' - So it goes
The sky becomes bright as glass
The man smiles deep inside
The bombers came and filled the air
It seemed so unfair
Bloodshed took an hour or two
No brick left on a brick
The man dives in the wishing well
And buys a life with a dime
[Chorus]
Walking fast he leaves the square
Eyes looking up to the sky
He throws the dime on the sidewalk
To be found by someone
5. Soul of a Renegade
Awoken by the thought
Of a never-ending agony
He took the right to break the chains
But they stole tge wind beneat his wings
They wanted to make it clear
It's them he must fear
They liked to interfere
Switch off his rebellious mind
They made you a real deal, a fair deal
They offered you freedom for your thoughts
Well, sometimes confession can be a crime
So they locked you away for a thousand years
And tortured your mind with their own fear
They raped your thoughts with disbelief
Another day will break
The pain might ease, but the scars remain
They deprived your dignity
Impropriate behaviour
Your crazy fantasies
'Bout opposing governmental power
Don't fit in this society
They made you a real deal, a fair deal
They offered you freedom for your thoughts
Well, sometimes confession can be a crime
Did you ever realize?
So they locked you away for a thousand years
And tortured your mind with their own fear
They raped your thoughts with disbelief
Another day will break
For you the soul of a renegade
They deprived your dignity
Did you ever realize
That they could lock away
Your rebellious soul
They locked you away
6. Silent Wall
I never knew that moment could
Last longer than forever
The moment that it takes to change
After giving the strings to an mp
Responsible of nothing
Explanations and promises are talk
I always thought that I'm not the one
Who is digging in the dirt
After ''miscalculation'' the blaming finger
Is pointing at an empty shirt
I need no one to explain
Give me someone to blame
The lonely top where phony jokes
Keep licking each others' ass
[Chorus]:
Piece by piece they built a wall of silence
Built to last againts riots and violence
Brains are stunned and lips are sealed
Staring at one point
Piece by piece they built a world of silence
There's no place to hide
When silent feeling screams
It isn't hard to be brave
In your own corner table
If something comes up
Keep your mouth shut
Just look like a VIP
So close that I could touch
So close that the offical mouth
Is wise to keep shut
I wonder when this hiding ends
And someone takes a stand when the ceiling comes too low
And the walls collapse
Neutral policy
The tase of caffeine
Leave the bed and go ahead
Find out what comes up
[Chorus]
Whose to blame anyway
I don't know no one explains
Whose to blame anywat
At least there is no one to blame
Whose to blame anyway
They' all look the same they all look gray
Whose to blame anyway
''No comments is all I got to say''
7. Deeper Shades
Good morning sun nice to see you again
Do you know what was going last night?
Tell about mad occasions I have sown
The tale of lovers, killer and dealers
I can see deep and deeper shades
Yet the deepest is pretty much the same
I saw pale face with two green men
They were making up names just for fun
Man ran away and ended up dead
He wanted a shower but slipped down the drain
No one likes
To be a stereotype
To be a somone without fingerprints or a face
I can see deep and deeper shades
Yet the deepest is pretty much the same
Endelss change keeps me awake
Darkness in light - there's something I like
Bye bye bye I do another round
Tap tap tap I do my tapping down
I'll be back at dawn to hear some more
Now climb your steps to the 21st floor
No one likes
To be a stereotype
To be someone without fingerprints or a face
I can see deep and deeper shades
Yet the deepest is pretty much the same
Endelss change kaaps me awake
Darkness in light
8. Letter of Indulgence
People are telling me about the desperate times
To which our sins are soon us leading
The world is poisoned by the devil deeds we've done
We must appease the angered gods
Can't you see that country dies
Taken over by surprise
I don't know why the claim we should change
Our ways of life
I don't know why my hands are dirty
There is no time to think, I've got to be going now
I'll make a confession still some day
Public opinion is to care
So I have to pay my share
Each must take part
I just don't belong
Goals are so far
''Have you ever thought of thinking?''
They keep on preaching that the end is coming
If we do't go back to where we started
I've had enought I can't take that shit no more
I need a letter of indulgence
They keep on preaching that the end is coming
If we don't go back to where we started
I said: enough
I've got a letter of indulgence
Each must take part
I just don't belong
Goals are so far
''Have you ever thought of thinking?''
9. Choking Child
Seek power, gain trust
Vote yourself in election
Be nothing, do nothing
Be just a numb politician
I'm a true believer of a real deceiver
Could you believe
You built a world for me to live in
All the good things you gave
For good cause we fight wars
Maybe I'm not so fond of your world
We are the children breathing vomit
From the past
Breathe, Breathe chocking child - Let me help you
Breathe, Breathe chocking child - Don't die
Breathe, Breathe chocking child - Will to live
Breathe, Breathe, Breathe - Let me help you now
They say it's real, but it's a dream
We aren't equal in the eyes of law
Not yet, maybe never
Maybe i'm just a fool
I hope right deeds will grow seeds
Into an act
I vote justice, I vote peace
So I won't vote at all
As long as man have to prove
His innocence in a court
Why do you feed me if I am not hungry
Breathe, Breathe chocking child - Let me help you
Breathe, Breathe chocking child - Don't die
Breathe, Breathe chocking child - Will to live
Breathe, Breathe, Breathe - Let me help you now
Do what you want if you don't think it's wrong
Do what you please, watch out for others feet
Invidual rights balance a million people
If you want to kill people, dress up in green
- And join to army
reathe, Breathe chocking child - Let me help you
Breathe, Breathe chocking child - Don't die
Breathe, Breathe chocking child - Will to live
Breathe, Breathe, Breathe - Let me help you now
(Repeat)
10. View
Take a look down at the seaside
Do you recall that old white house
There is a garden full of black flowers
An old man sitting by the window
He's trying to find the peace of mind
He's dreaming of something
Trying to remember
Life doesn't exist anymore
Feel no hate
Feel no pain
He stands at the of the path
