1. Denial
I can see through my eyes, I can feel
I can feel all the pain that is disguised.
Why did you do what you did to me?
I can not see the reason, just feel the pain.
I am OK during days but at night...
Die! I wish I could die so I could feel,
I could feel relief instead of pain.
Here I stand now.I'm all alone once again. My age
is too high and my patience too low so I am telling
you now:
Lier! You are twisting and turning my mind.
You're a lier! The sorrow is calling me.
If you couldn't see when you were playing with
me, that my feelings were real. Then you are
stupid and dumb with the brain size of a crumb.
Can't you see
Lier! You are twisting and turning my mind.
You're a lier! The sorrow is calling me.
Lier! You are twisting and turning my mind.
Lier!
So I'm a free man now. I can do what I want. I can
speak my mind. I can live my life. If you don't
believe what I say, check me out. You're welcome!
I still miss you late at night.
If I close my eyes I can still see your smile.
I want you back!
- No I don't!
Do you ever think of me? I want you back!
No I don't! No I don't! No I don't!
I am a lier!
The sorrow is calling me
The sorrow is calling me,
Calling (chorus)
The sorrow is calling me.
The sorrow is calling me.
The sorrow is calling me.
2. Winter
I believe in pain.
Morning, morning is here and a new day begins,
a reason for me to stay alive.
I need to create and seek.
I'm searching, searching for my life and the reason
why, why I am here. But I know I need pain.
Winter came and I used its pain.
When winter came.
Winter came. I transformed its pain.
When winter came, so silent.
Running, running from problems won't make you
grow. No, no, no! You lose your mind and you can
only exist in a small world that contains no views.
But I know that I need to live close to the mist, that
contains all this pain.
Winter came and I used its pain.
When winter came.
Winter came. I transformed its pain.
When winter came, it came to me.
So silently, and with all the power,
desire and hunger I need.
3. Injustice
Well, here I am now, expecting that they will come and let me in. I didn't come here of free will. No they forced me into this deal. Now, the door is opening and we move into the scene. Time to face the facts.
I am wavin', I am wavin' life goodbye. I am wavin', I am wavin' life goodbye.
I didn't commit the crime they told me I committed with a razor of steel.
I was just standing on a street when she crawled up to my feet.
She was holding my hand, now telling me that she needed my help. She was a cop, stabbed in her back.
Then she died, died in my arms. I was standing alone in the street with a dead cop's blood on my hand.
Wavin', I am wavin' life goodbye. I am wavin', I am wavin' life goodbye.
Wavin', I am wavin' life goodbye. I am wavin', I am wavin' life goodbye.
I am inside this cold bloody cell of mine. Weird thoughts are sweeping through my mind.
Take me away from this unjust place, save me or kill me, kill me, save me or kill me.
4. Centre of the War
I can see what it takes to be a king, the power to seduce your mind so you'll think and speak his words day and night. You can't control your mind when he speaks to you publicly through radio ears and TV eyes.
With fire in his eyes he has the power to win on the multidollard battlefield and he needs your life for the sake of respect to your kind. Follow me in the shadows of war.
Thsi can't be what I think is real. All this misery, could this be me? Deep in my mind grows agony.
Beside me on the bedroom table lay my military call up. When I woke I was going to war. My mind is searching for the answers to the questions hidden in the dark. Will I stay alive or lose my mind, will I ever see my wife again. You see, she belongs to me like a vision in my mind. Now I am having the military call up in my hand asking why
On and on and on and on it rolls in the centre of the war. Terror and evil are the unbelievable rewards.
Finally they came to me and I followed them into the heat of the flames, and I sold out my soul.
On and on and on and on it rolls in the centre of the war. Terror and evil are the unbelievable rewards.
On and on and on and on it rolls in the centre of the war. Terror and evil are the unbelievable rewards.
Down below I saw a sight that forever changed my life. I saw the bowels and bones with my eyes. When I saw the sight of a soldier in the corner of my eye. I turned around and what did I see? His shotgun pointed at me. I can feel pain. Fire that burns inside of me. I turned around a saw a friggin' twelve-year-old boy who took away my soul.
On and on and on and on it rolls in the centre of the war. Terror and evil are the unbelievable rewards.
I'll die for your hand, so lead me to the never never land. It's up to you now as I see it. I'll never ever pull the trigger and kill against my will, even if it's a friggin' twelve-year-old who took me away.
5. Concession
In total darkness my life has gone to sleep, in a
distant relation to you my love.
I said: - This war took away my life I am now
inside this maimed body of mine. I can no longer
speak, nor listen, walk or see, but I am here.
I can not see, but I still feel your scent in the
room. I can't speak, and tell you, I am here.
I am so lonely. I want to scream. I want to change,
and my sigh for you will be the tears in my eyes.
So have you got the sign with you tonight?
Days went by and you came to me with another
man. I know you are leaving me. I will be here
waiting so lonely.
6. Shadows and Dreams
Welcome to your dream. To the left you'll see my land, to the right you'll see my queen.
Agony and tragedy are built into your own destiny.
Shadows inside of my dream. They will come for you now. You will see all the shadows in your dream.
Thunder is rolling. Lightning will strike kill your brothers and knowk our your eyes. Running, running in
circles. Scraeming. And you are taking a fall. Why can't I be a free man. I am running around with demons.
On my knees I am standing for you. On my knees.
Morning. Take me in the morning's sight and lead its light upon my bedroom wall. So that my eyes can lead me the way. Oh I wish it was morning and I was awake.
Stand up. Run in. Straight into hell. All this, all this is coming from me. All the pain.
Oh, what a pain. I'm the man you will see in your wildest dreams.
Dreams. Take me in the morning's sight and lead its light upon my bedroom wall. So that my eyes can lead me the way. Oh I wish it was morning and I was awake.
Welcome! I wish you welcome to the land which is created by me through fear. I'll steal hours of your sleep.
Die! I can see your face. Fry in the heat of flames. I can see you running down the lane.
There you are running from terror and pain. I can see you face - running.
Oh, how I wish it was morning and I was awake leaving this dream behind me.
Leaving all the shadows. Run, run! Turn around and look at the eyes that will pull you back.
But look at the sun. From the darkness it is rising now, showing you your way.
7. Wasted Existence
A whisper grows in my mind, searching and waiting for the place and time when my mind is weak, in need of a friend, to turn me away from the end.
- Can't you see that it's time for me to change the life I lead? - Can't you see I am fading away?
Motion, my life is in motion on a silver screen. Now it's rolling by in front of my eyes and I can see, it's staring back at me, asking me: - What have you become? All this wasted time, wasted years. You can save your fears.
- Can't you see that it's time for me to change the life I lead? - Can't you see I am fading away, I am fading away?
- I am fading away, going down so deep, deep down. - Lead me down the road, I am fading away.
I am, I am me, can't you fulfill my needs. Running, I am running, trying to escape from reality.
I am running, I have myself to blame for living the life I have within me. I have myself to blame.
- Can't you see that it's time for me to change the life I lead? - Can't you see I am fading away, I am fading away?
- I am fading away, going down so deep, deep down. - Lead me down the road, I am fading away.
8. Uncontrolled Evolution
Mystery is so secretly kept by the wind, moving through different ages to a time beyond your mind. And once again it creates a scene for people to act and live within. But, the frame we leave behind, is it fit for life?
People change and are rearranged, and adapt to the evolution, but will the quality of flife remain? If we put our mind far, far back in time you will see the way we have changed our lives. Can you see, can you see the line.
We have our moment to be here. We all profess to be free, but we can see the machinery moving fast, moving fast. You will see. We move towards the future when we realise: - we are heading for the end. When it comes to me I got to set my mind free to decide if it's good or bad that evolution is going mad. And I will tell you if your eyes can't see through the blinding light. And now you are standing here and you don't understand. Your mind is blank. You deny what you see and say it isn't true.
Can't you hear: - Warning! Warning! Time and mind that is all that we need.
Time is running and we can only go down on our knees and pray that this world will remain.
- Warning! Warning! The future you don't want to see.
We can all see the evolution and what it means. The expression from the crystal ball is showing you the final fall. Machines are growing. A computerized successor in my brain is telling me how to move my face, react, control and speak my words. And one more time you denied the existence of the fool.
Can't you hear: - Warning! Warning! Time and mind that is all that we need.
Is it too late?
Oh, I remember a time so long ago now, when we had the green grass and air to breathe. A time for me to live. We can never return. Wen we are now looking back we regret the steps we took back in time. We are searching for a feeling we can't find. Get hold of the time. Oh, I'm computerized to commit a crime! Deep down, deep down you will find the fragment of your life.
Oh, I am sitting here with my empty mind in this cold room trying to find what's left of me. I have plenty of time to live, since injections are keeping me alive, like a working machine I am. Oh, lord! Help me to die because I have no access to that file.
