1. Terminated World
Times running short for a deal
take your chances
make up your mind, time to heal
no romances
You're creeping in a desert valley
and waiting for the midas touch
BRIDGE:
Now your disgrace, you 're not
within a world of circumstances
you're locked up in an empty room
behind the door of a million chances
you're living in a world of doom
CHORUS:
Why live and die in a
terminated world
take your time
waitin' for tomorrow
the chains are breaking free
Born with the faith in your heart
you'll be leading
BRIDGE / CHORUS
Why, why we live and die
we live and die in a terminated world
BRIDGE / CHORUS
2. Planet Earth
Standing at the shore, the wind is blowing
fast with power
like a fortress wall the rain is smashing
pouring down
feelin' all alone and noone there to keep
me warm
Sun has turned into a black and frozen
peace of coal
in this poison gas no creature even can
survive
feeling all alone 'cause I'm the one who's
staying alive
BRIDGE:
I hear a voice from the dark, it says:
Dirty fools, look what we have done
frozen tears in a black hole sun
My heart is dying, my soul's gettin' cold
I never listened to warnings they told
CHORUS:
Planet Earth
please, forgive me
I'm mistaken
this heavens on earth is a crying shame
we have the choice to proclaim
Every day I watch the news, they say the
world is bleeding
we're responsible for every little peace of ground
hand in hand we have the chance to say it loud
BRIDGE / CHORUS
3. Back From The Dawn
It's a long time ago when you had the feelin' to adore her
Did you know, did you know that it's a lie?
She was spreading into your life and tellin' she would love ya
Did you know it's cuttin' like a knife?
BRIDGE:
Every single touch, every word of mouth
now you know that she's been fakin'
All the dirty lies turned you inside out
Now it's up to you for breaking away
CHORUS:
Breaking the chain
Get away, she's back from the dawn
You're feeling the pain
Watch out! Now she's back from the dawn
In a world of shattered dreams
You're trying to protect
Did you know she utilized your care?
BRIDGE / CHORUS
Foolish behavior is piercing my brain
Don't know the difference of pleasure and pain
There's no bed of roses
Just a bed of nails
No sense of security
in a love that never fails
Repeat 1st verse / BRIDGE / CHORUS
4. On The Edge
Foreign body in sliced worlds of fashion
We can stand our ground
We don't run with the pack
We don't fit, we're no blank piece of puzzle
There's no file we're in
and we fight back to back
BRIDGE:
So close, so far away
Your mind is taking chances
But now we're back to stay
We're on the top, we're flying high
CHORUS:
We're on the edge
higher and higher
We're on the edge
We don't live in a permanent passion
Never even prepared for
What's in and what's out
There's a way left behind burning bridges
We'll there fighting back
And there's no doubt about
BRIDGE / CHORUS
We are back, we are on our way now
And the permanent power is cracking your brain
BRIDGE / CHORUS
5. The Children Play
The story of our lives
Fades away in memories
The spirits of all times
Living in our fantasies
Dreams are growing wild
In an innocent child
A world built up in sand
Without a broken lie
The future in their hands
And they don't know the reason why
They are playing their game
And no one is to blame
Within a world of dreams
They're keeping their own way
They don't know what it seems
When skies are always gray
Dreams are growing wild
In an innocent child
They are joyful
live their lives in happiness
They are faithful
and we are responsible for their fairy tales
And when the time has come
They are the only ones
There's just one thing to say
Come watch the children play
6. Rebel Yell
Born into darkness
Never seen the sun that's shining on my head
Walking courageous
Never been the one who's feeling it's a shame
There's no barrier, there's no border
that could stop me, can you hear that
Rebel Yell
Black day surrounds me
There's no colored dream and story I could tell
Feels like a fortune
There's no color statement I could ever sell
Sounds of silence, need the distance
for the balance, can you hear that
Rebel Yell
Every single step of mine
Brings a shining glance into my eyes
Don't you know that it's a crime
If you gonna try to hypnotize
Repeat 1st verse
7. Black Religion
Pumped up with power, the black religion in their eyes
Strike any hour for this glory true lies
Their minds infected, the virus heating up their hate
They kill and die for this unfailing true faith
BRIDGE:
Only one request
To live and die for a lullaby
And when the hammer falls
A young child dies in his mother's arms
CHORUS:
Makes no sense to me at all
Confessions of the faith for sale
Waiting for the ones to fall
Who is responsible?
The kings of war
Clean slated preacher, a tattooed smile upon his face
Prepared as teacher for the weary human race
BRIDGE / CHORUS
Fakin' and dealin' with dirty old lies
They're livin' it up, there's no need to disguise
Dragging the enemy down to his knees
Give us the bravery, we're begging you please
The ten commandments are free for a deal
The future is over, it's breaking the seal
Come on, raise up your hands
And we're livin' it up to be free
BRIDGE / CHORUS
8. Animal (Lisa Dalbello cover)
Tight security
Inside this zone
Crude obscenities
Sticks and stones
Friend or enemy
You and I are the same flesh and blood
We are animal
Drunk with savagery
Sweet to the taste
Brutalizing heat
Pick up the pace
Lay your hands on me
You and I are the same flesh and blood
We are animal
Dance with me, dance with me, forget my name
You don't speak my tongue, mais vous compremez
When we're skin to skin maybe we might say
We are flesh and blood
We are animal
Man hunt animal
Thrill of the chase
Trophy on the wall
Imperial race
Eloquent and powerful
All are one, we are all flesh and blood
We are animal
Dance with me, dance with me, Forget my name
You don't speak my tongue, but I know you understand me
When we're skin to skin maybe we might say
We are flesh and blood
We are animal
9. Noah`s Dream
Vocal intro: (not printed in the lyrics booklet)
A lonely room
A covered world
The sun is drifting slowly
A dead end street
Behind the walls
Outside the rain keeps falling
The candlelight resists the storm
Dancing pictures on the wall
Close your eyes, make a wish
And then the sky begins to fall
In Noah's dream, in Noah's dream
Caught in a dream
No power and no choice
He rides with the wind
And feels his master's voice
I'm gonna drop this world
I'm tired and I'm blamed
Only a few will survive
Escaping from the rain
Build up a ship on a hill
Three will be on your side
Pick up a pair of all kinds
And then you'll start the ride of hope
Blistering winds tell no fairy tales
BRIDGE:
Screaming, howling, calling your name
CHORUS:
The power of your life is here to carry on
The toughness and ability
The faith is keeping strong
And we will carry on
Push by his faith
Heading for that deal
In spite of all disdain
He's making it for real
High in the skies
the ark built in blood
Insanity's ruling the world
Drowning in the flood
Who will be who on this trip
Love is a sip of simply privation
Over the land, sea and skies
He's searching and tries
to save every creature in the world
Blistering winds tell no fairy tales
BRIDGE / CHORUS
Deep in the night he's standing at the rail
Awaiting the light that leads him to a trail
A million voices rent the silent air
And in the dawn they're marching for their care
The animals went in two by two, hurrah, hurrah
The animals went in two by two, hurrah, hurrah
The animals went in two by two,
the wasp, the ant, and the kangaroo
And they all went into the ark
For to get out of the rain
The animals went in two by two, hurrah, hurrah
The animals went in two by two, hurrah, hurrah
The animals went in two by two,
the wasp, the ant, and the kangaroo
And they all went into the ark
For to get out of the rain
Deep in the jungle nobody cares
Easy to fight, nothing to share
Always abused and struggling for life
But here in this place there's nothing to hide
Rain, rain, rain
Lost soul in a lost horizon
Rain, rain, rain
Set me free
Rain, rain, rain
The fear of the darkness
Rain, rain, rain
Show us the way
Suddenly a place appears behind the walls of water
The wind calms down, the curtain of all fears is falling
White dove is flying around the sky, Is this a heavenly sign?
And now all are safe
Do they commit a crime?
The sun breaks his eyes
His mind is looking for clues
What happened in the night?
Who made the nightmare rules?
He walks down the lane
Heading for places he's been
Is this reality
or a dream within a dream?
Dreams have been tricking your soul
You play a role
That somebody's taking to your mind
Don't look behind
You slam the door
And keep out the sandman in your brain
Blistering winds tell no fairytales
BRIDGE / CHORUS
10. This Town Ain`t Big Enough For Both Of Us (The Sparks cover)
Zoo time is she and you time
The mammals are your favorite type and you want her tonight
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
You hear the thunder of stampeding rhinos, elephants and tacky tigers
This town ain't big enough for the both of us
But it ain't me who's gonna leave
Flying, domestic flying
And when the stewardess is near, don't you show any fear
Heartbeat, increasign heartbeat
You are a khaki-colored bombardier,
it's Hiroshima that you're nearing
This town ain't big enough for the both of us
But it ain't me who's gonna leave
Daily, except for sunday
You dawdle into the cafe, where she meets you each day
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
As twenty cannibals have hold of you, they need their protein just like you
This town ain't big enough for the both of us
But it ain't me who's gonna leave
Shower, another shower
You've got to look the best for her and be clean everywhere
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
The rain is pouring on the foreign town, the bullets cannot cut you down
This town ain't big enough for the both of us
But it ain't me who's gonna leave
Census, the latest census
There'll be more girls who live in town, though not enough to go around
Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat
You know that this town isn't big enough, not big enough
For the both of us
This town isn't big enough, not big enough for the both of us
And I ain't gonna leave
