1. The Dinner
Director: Open the cell.. Hello Joe...
Joe: Hello Sir.
Director: So, let's eat?
Joe: Sure
Director: I tried to get everything you asked for. Sit
down please.
Joe: Oh, thank you sir. God bless you.
Oh god in Heaven, thanks for the meal and
for another day. And if I'm still here tomorrow,
I thank you for I know that you will be with me.
If I'm not, I thank you anyway for I know that
I will be with you. Amen.
Director: Amen... So, Joe, tell me something: How
could a man like you end up here?
You know this is no fantasy
This is the real life
I tried to keep my sanity
But that wasn't enough
I was just a lost boy hoping for a miracle
For a long time in vain
Cause you know, nothing is possible without faith
2. Cruel Jungle (part one)
Oh, nothing really is what it seems
What my mother taught me
is no good in this place
everyone's wandering
just thinking about themselves
No mercy, no love
Better waste than share
I look around and see no way out
Misery, pain, broken dreams
Here I am, in the jungle
And nobody can help me
Oh, nothing really is what it seems
What my mother taught me
is no good in this place
I look at the sky I try to find help
But voices of the night tell me
this is not the best way...
Someone says I can change things
easily, easily
Now I understand, this war
I need to be armed
Nobody needs to give me anything, I'll get them
Oh, I'm not afraid anymore
The jungle seems so good to me
Home sweet home
Look, i'm at the top right now
Oh, I'm not afraid anymore
I say what right or wrong
Power is at my fingertips
I have money I have gun
that's my best friend
3. Family Album (part one and two)
(part one)
Look at me
just seventeen
everybody respects me
So much more than my father ever had
Poor man
Death came so soon
He couldn't handle so much pressure
He chose to trade his life
for a bottle of drink
"Stop drinking while you can"
My mom used to say
"You and that doctor know nothing about me"
my father would never listen
(part two)
He should have listened
Mother Mary always knew about things
onde day my father didn't wake up
and with red eyes she said to me
Life must go on
We cannot give up
We have each other
the Lord will make us strong
but time went by
my ears have closed
to everything which was true
my mother would fight
day after day
for me to have the best
but I wanted more
higher flights
so I went away
and a woman was left behind
crying at the gates
her last words
"I'll be praying for you..."
4. Julie
When I saw her
I knew it was time
like a movie
all around me froze
my eyes saw nothing else
She was so beautiful
A flower in the stone garden
A rainbow after rain
I made promisses
I tried to change things
A new direction
Yes, Anything to have her by my side
she promised that would be always with me
She gave me a new reason
Yes I could see a new future to her side
Her absence was unbearable to me
She was so beautiful
A flower in the stone garden
A rainbow after rain
I could see a new path
I was hopeful again
I had almost forgotten
that happiness is real
This is a beautiful day
The pain, the cry
turning into life
A Miracle is in my arms
Oh Lord, the tears i my eyes
I my lips a wide smile
This is a beautiful day
5. Cruel Jungle (part two)
But the jungle, pacient, took its time
I remeber what my mother used to say
"Sin pays with death"
But what's in there for me
If honesty pays with misery?
A looser, that's how I feel
No chance, no change, no future
I won't wait for death to come
Merciless and Indifference are the eyes of this world
I can hear evil
Calling my name
and I don't know if I want to resist
I look at the sky
I try to find help
But the voices of the night...
Everything's back to what it used to be
Just hate grew
with the cry of hungry child
tearing the heart
But everything's alright now
Tears no more
There's plenty of food
my best friend is back
I went back to hell
but doesn't matter
I don't wanna live for a prayer
I can build my paradise
Build my paradise...
Time goes by, everything seems alright
Now I am selling illusions
I seel cheap and to anyone
rich and poor, black and white
Everybody looks for me
Everybody wants to run away from reality
It's alright, I am here
Bringing joy... as white as snow
6. My Little War (my big disgrace)
But money is easy
it's like the fresh meat in ocean
attracting hungry sharks
Everyone wants their share
but it's worse in the jungle
It's not the surviving instinct
it's the wish for power
so hard to be satisfied
They just want my blood but I'm ready
my best friend is still here
I know there are no winners in a war
But here is my place
I can't run away
what can i do?
I can only fight!
Look, the invaders are leaving
we won, this is still my place
we are stronger now
and I'm still the king of fantasy land
I'm feel so good
I'm the king
Nothing can stop us, nothing can stop us...
But what I see makes my soul freeze
It's not a hungry shark
Buat a 15-year-old innocence
that lies on the ground
7. Lost Bullet
The I cry for a lost bullet
I was betrayed by my best friend
Someone says, "You cannot stay here"
But like a nightmare
I can't move
I just want to wake up
Oh, mother, you could be here
telling me that is just as a bad dream
Holding me tight
til I feel safe again
Mother, I used to be a good guy
But things always change
Ye, mama, I'm on the other side
I don't have a white horse
The sunset is not so beautiful
I just want to go back in time
and like a dream hold you again
and give you a red rose
just to see you smile one more time
I can hear the sirens
but I'm still here
Ye mama I'm at the other side
The law men are here
and I have to go I have to go
I just want to go back in time...
8. Goodbye Blue Sky
A man in a uniform starts screaming "Hands up
you better not move
you better not talk
cause everything you say
will be useless
you are nothing to me
so you better stand still"
My hands are cuffed
I can't move
still someone hits me in the face
once, twice, three times
so I remember Peter
denying Jesus
That must have hurt too
But I cannot cry
cause nobody will dry my tears
I just let them pusghe me to the car
My time has come
and I'll have to pay, pay, pay...
I look through the window
I see the city lights
for the las time...
light jungle
for the last time...
like the song
Goodbye blue sky
Goodbye blue sky
9. Darkness Land
Time runs slowly
I'm still alive
but Ive already found hell
it is really hot
but is not that red
hell is dark
and there are steel bars
some demons wear uniform
others sleep right next to me
But they all work at night
they all work at night
Suffering is real
I just have to close my eyes
isn't if funny?
Everybody pretends to be blind
in the darkness fand
Time finally goes by
Julie would still come to see me
My child was not a child anymore
My time was coming
Everything seemed meaningless
I had lost all my hopes
I tried to forget my destiny
but the pain just grew strong
it was worse that day
it was december twenty-five
Oh Christmas for the just
just another day for the cursed
the I start remembering
I was just a little boy
but I haven't forgot
those Christmas mornings
Mama would always give me a gift
and say a prayer to the Lord
then I cry cause i know
that I will never do that for my son
Aloof in my dreams
i can hear somebody's voice
10. Wisdow Call (the preaching)
Wisdom calls in te middle of the night
Who will hear her calling?
Long ago before there was time
He offered himself
as a sacrifice
For all mankind
Can't you see?
You've hear it said
No one has more love than this
To give his life for a friend
Now he's saying to you...
I have proved my love for you
Dyinf even for my enemies
To forgive
No matter what you've done
I don't care where you've been
The death you deserve
I already died
His love for you is free
But it cost his life
A life for a life
He gave for you
Will you give yours to this?
Listen to me
I am the way, the truth, the life
11. One Last Pray
Father, my time is coming
just a little more
just a little more
Father, you know, I caused so much pain
and the debt must be paid
I understand
I am just harvesting
the seeds I planted in this world
The phone didn't ring and I'm at the hall
even so I remember a song
I am happy (I'm happy)
cause I can sing (haleluia)
I am happy (I'm happy)
Cause I'm free (Now i'm free)
And I'm free cause one day
my sweet Lord died for me
and to wash away all my sins
To take away allmy sins
Even so, I remember a song
I am happy (I'm happy)
cause I can sing (haleluia)
I am happy (I'm happy)
Cause I'm free (Now i'm free)
And I'm free cause one day
my sweet Lord died for me
and to wash away all my sins
To take away allmy sins
