1. Danger In The Air
(Music: Ricky Van Helden, Lyrics: T. R. O. S.)
…And the wise will be falling
To the ground…
No more laughing
There’s danger in the air
Dying people
No one seems to care
Crying children
Someone stop their mouths
All around them
There’s no single sound
The forest’s silent
There’s danger in the air
Something evil
Came from anywhere
Churches and temples
Someone made them fall
Who could save the wise
Nobody at all
Don’t trust in prophets
There’s danger in the air
Unknown warriors
Came from anywhere
Mountains break up
Fire in the sky
End of the human
The end of all the lies…
2. The Dragon From The Hill
(Music: Ricky Van Helden, Lyrics: T. R. O. S.)
What a musty smell
Fell my horse is slowing
As the night falls in
And the mists are growing
A village comes in sight
Hanging trees are sleeping
I am getting tired
And the coldness’s creeping
Fighting many years
I’ve stopped much disaster
I’ve been running quick
But the evil’s faster
Heroes are unwise
I’m better off by lingering
I feel I’m now too late
The tocsins soon’ll be ringing
A hundred thousand innocents
Will pay to one the Hell had sent
And he won’t stop until
They have paid the bill
The dragon from the hill
Comes down to kill
To kill the human hogweed
The dragon from the hill
Comes down to kill
Down to kill
I’ll be waiting here
What’s the use in fighting
They run into dark
There’s no place for hiding
Suddenly there’s silence
Now the beast is coming
No one will survive
There’s no sin in running
A hundred thousand innocents
Will pay to one the Hell had sent
And he won’t stop until
They have paid the bill
The dragon from the hill
Comes down to kill
To kill the human hogweed
The dragon from the hill
Comes down to kill
Down to kill...
3. Sunday Morning
(Music: Ricky Van Helden, Lyrics: T. R. O. S.)
Waking up on Sunday morning
Saturday’s been gone
For tonight I found no new love
That could take me home
Everything I think I’ve passed it
The heartache that she made
It comes back much harder each time
It will never fade
Getting up on Sunday morning
Found no sin in life
Wish the time would fade much faster
Wish I would survive
But surviving ain’t as easy
As it was before
When no woman lightened my life
She will do no more
Come to see me falling
Now who can stop my tears
Waking up I found the ruins
Of where I lived for years
Take a walk on Sunday morning
I can’t feel the sun
All her warmth has turned to coldness
Can’t feel anyone
Now I have to find a new life
In the shade of night
Waiting for the Monday morning
Maybe there’s a light…
4. Lonesome Rock'n'Roller
(Music: Ricky Van Helden, Lyrics: T. R. O. S. / Ricky Van Helden)
You hear the loud guitar
On stage there stands a glitter
The rock’n’roll show just begins
See him come in rage
He gives his best on stage
Then he says goodbye
At the stages waits his limousine
Lonesome rock’n’roller
Everybody wants to see
Lonesome rock’n’roller
Alone but he feels free
What a life he leads
He may think he’s free
But that’s not reality
With contracts he has signed
He has sold his mind
Soon they’ll let him down
And no one knows who he has been
Lonesome rock’n’roller…
5. Stoneway no. 3
(Music: Ricky Van Helden, Lyrics: T. R. O. S. / Ricky Van Helden)
Can you see that old green house
With dirty windows at its front
I have seen inside its walls
I am one who lived beyond
Here you find no working day
Nobody will ever change our uncommon way
Passing people shake their heads
And look at that curious house
This is not on their level
Here must live the devil
Can’t you see
Stoneway No. 3?
Only madmen live in here
Everybody’s got his room
We are playing in the night
Sleeping ‘till the afternoon
Everyday you hear our rock’n’roll
You can hear it at the other side of town
Passing people shake their heads
And look at that curious house
This is not on their level
Here must live the devil
Can’t you see
Stoneway No. 3?
6. The Parade
(Music: T. R. O. S. / Ricky Van Helden, Lyrics: T. R. O. S.)
The fate of the land has changed
The king leads wars to come to fame
Most young men die for the king
Not knowing that it’s just a game
The eyes of the crowd can’t see
They give their children all for free
There are some who don’t agree
The one thing is the victory
Their voices grow dumb
As they see the parade
Their minds grow dumb
Their doubts will soon be faded
Now all through this century
The air is filled with factory steam
The export is growing fast
The world’s producing war machines
We’re waiting for our last fight
Some got the money – they got the rights
Arranging a new parade
But not against the other side
Our voices grow dumb
As we see the parade
Our minds grow dumb
Our doubts will soon be faded…
7. The Trees
(Music: Ricky Van Helden, Lyrics: T. R. O. S.)
I walked beside a pathway
And tried to cut a tree
But I heard their leaves whisper
In a summer evening breeze
I’ve never seen a wonder
In this tremendous world
And I know that you’ll not believe
The things that I have heard…
A spruce said to an old oak
So many things you’ve told
And soon your days’ll be counted
But me – I won’t grow old
From far there cried a willow
- You’re in the forest’s shield
But I must breathe much more lead
Out here in my field! –
But then they heard a small elm
- Be quiet in your good fate
You still got resistance
For me it’s now too late! –
Way back in my hometown
I thought I had a dream
But then I heard the lament
Of the city trees
Now I’m waiting for the darkness
When the trees will call
I use my axe for people
I think I’ll cut them all…
8. When The Demon Flies
(Music: Ricky Van Helden, Lyrics: T. R. O. S.)
Living in a broken flat
You will kiss again the rat
You’ll do
With her love your strength has faded
Now in the shaft the black hole waits
For you
Your soul is burning
You’ve passed the turning point
Your soul is burning
Too late to change your mind
She wasn’t true she was a bitch
You have loved an awful witch
My friend
Don’t know why you had to die
But one day your demons will fly
Again
Your soul is burning
You’ve passed the turning point
Your soul is burning
Too late to change your mind…
