1. Theme of rebellion
2. Rebellion
Rebellion across the land!
We are standing hand in hand.
We hold on to fight for our right!
Rebellion across the land!
We are standing hand in hand.
We´ll be strong, we hold on tight!
The arguments of politics are just made to gather
All the goods and properties that belong to others:
Politicians theft!!
They call it taxes, but their wealth get bigger,
While poor people starving
Or waiting to get sicker because there´s nothing left!!
We are called upon to stop their way!
Come on! There´s no more word to say!
Waiting will be suicide!
And Death had lost its fright!
Rebellion across the land!
We are standing hand in hand.
We hold on to fight for our right!
Rebellion across the land!
We are standing hand in hand.
We´ll be strong, we hold on tight!
We are the waste politics will leave
Behind, while their pacifying words deceive:
It is a legalized crime!
Poverty is growing in this world more and more
For politics that´s justice - by the self made law
It is a cruel time!
Time is money and both is rare.
It is time that someone cares.
Can´t say enough to get into your mind:
These people are blind!!
Rebellion across the land!
We are standing hand in hand.
We hold on to fight for our right!
Rebellion across the land!
We are standing hand in hand.
We´ll be strong, we hold on tight!
Conditions must be changed or mankind won´t survive
Too much to die, too few to live - this you can´t call "life":
Changes must be fast!
The day will come the politicians will realize,
that they can´t eat their gold or money - and they´ll die.
Ignorance will last!!
Again we´ll see what once we saw:
People are equal, but some are more (equal).
We´re called upon to prevend to fail
Ending this never ending tale.
Rebellion across the land!
We are standing hand in hand.
We hold on to fight for our right!
Rebellion across the land!
We are standing hand in hand.
We´ll be strong, we hold on tight!!
3. Terrion
Once there was a planet gleaming with pure majesty.
Then arose the human beings "Lords" they wished to be.
Crown of creation you've brought the end
To the awesome lands.
Can't you see that one day you'll hold
Nothing in your hands?
They roamed nature on their search for what could raise their might.
Left behind their garbage and environmental fright.
Terrion, dying star, built for millions of years.
Terrion, dying star, your beauty disappears.
The only thing they ever grew was an awful seed.
They fought wars against each other powered by their greed.
In God's hand had been a planet, blue its shining light.
Then arose the human beings and Terrion died.
4. Wasted lives
Fighting for something that they can't see,
Dying for a world that never will be.
Oh, what wasted lives,
Can't you hear their crying?
Powered by visions the leaders have seen.
Chained by promises those never will keep.
Who'll stop these crimes?
It's a slavery of lies!
All that wasted lives
Drowned in bloody times
Let the Evil thrive again.
Why don't change our minds?
Worthless words have to die,
From now on, no more wasted lives!
We live on a world, that's comfortably save.
Our hearts are too cold to see the others pain.
We are waiting still
for the overkill!
All that wasted lives
Drowned in bloody times
Let the Evil thrive again.
Why don't change our minds?
Worthless words have to die,
From now on, no more wasted lives!

6. The fool
A rich man had a land
Yielding heavy crops.
His stores would be too small
So this is what he thought:
"I shall tear down my storehouses now
And build bigger barns to store the goods.
Then I can say to myself 'you're smart.
Now you're the richest in the neighborhood.'"
But God said to him "You are a fool,
Tomorrow you'll die, no money saves you."
Today we just behave
Like the rich man did,
And act as money's slave,
Store more goods than we need.
Money and might is all what we want,
We're living good, but we want more.
That once we must die this is a fact
That intentionally we ignore.
Death comes sudden, no one can tell
When all our money is drawing us to hell
And God says to us "You are a fool,
Tomorrow you could die, no money saves you."
A rich man on earth remains a pauper in the sight of God.
Gather your treasures in heaven's bonds, so you save your soul.
7. Call from solitude
Hear the call from my solitude,
No more tears to cry.
Once I longed to live eternally,
But now I wish to die.
I saw the lives of billion men,
Saw anguish, tears and pain.
I fought to build a better world,
To see it burn again.
Can't change my fate, now I am too old to hate.
I have to live and wish I could die.
Can't change my fate and I am too old to hate.
I have to live and wish that I could die!
I've fooled myself in search for eternity
Never found.
And now I wish to die.
And now I wish to die.
I tried to judge with loving mind,
I wanted love to grow.
But at last I have to find
That love I could not show.
In search for peace of mind
Tormention is what I find.
I would have build a paradise,
It proved to be a lie - I wish to die.
8. The one
All the years that had gone by
Didn't change my mind.
My loving never stopped a while,
It lasted through all times.
You're the One, I ever want to love.
That is the truth.
Though you're far away from me
I can't stop loving you.
There were times the searing flame
Faded to a spark.
But when I heard your voice again,
It rose to light my dark.
You're the One, I ever want to love.
That is the truth.
Though you're far away from me
I can't stop loving you.
9. Take a stand
The force of darkness,
The Evil One,
Will rise, it's getting strong.
So, don't surrender,
Take a stand,
United we follow our dreams.
Arise!
In the last days of the whole world
Look for shelter, pain will come.
Time is short, don't waste a minute.
Prepare to fight and to die young.
Don't fear the Prince of Darkness,
He has no might!
Don't fear the Prince of Darkness,
The Evil fears the light!
In the time of sorrows
Don't give up, carry on!
Hope and faith will help you,
Love makes you strong.
Face reality that
Is not sweet or easy life.
Evil wins this war,
If you don't fight.
Watch carefully the action
Evil does to get strong.
Build up your forces
And hold on.
The day will come when you
Have to fight (together) with your friends.
So remind yourself,
Where you belong.
When Evil is on the rise, what will
you do?
Will you stand up and fight or will you leave all your friends alone?
Come on! Join us! Take a stand!
'Cause we're walking into the promised land!
When you're armed, facing the battle,
Death is waiting, eye to eye!
Then the Lord will give you power
And the Evil has to die.
So don't surrender,
Take a stand!
United, follow the Light!
10. My slowly dying
No more loving,
The dream of love has died!
No more laughing,
My soul begins to cry!
Emptiness, lonly inside,
Weakness, pain allied,
Sadness grows inside my mind,
Indifference makes me blind.
Yesterday I realized
That slowly my love is dieing.
And today I can´t deny,
My future will die.
Like a desert
The sea of love is dry
And like winter
My heart is cold as ice.
11. Dungeons of society
In our new age society
With all its religious variety,
Souls are sitting in dungeons
Depressed and chained in irons.
Illusioned by virtual reality
They loose their sense of humanity.
Pain and death have lost their thrill
By the media overkill.
Dungeons of society,
Dungeons of our mind.
Souls sit in darkness,
Wish to dance tonight.
A dance on green meadows.
A glance to blue skies.
All just desperate dreams
To free their lonely lives.
If this proceeds it will end.
All mankind will descend.
Killed by its own madness,
souls sank into sadness.
Dungeons of society,
Dungeons of our mind.
Souls sit in darkness,
Wish to dance tonight.
A dance on green meadows.
A glance to blue skies.
All just desperate dreams
To free their lonely lives.
Hope - in the end - will call
To tear down all the walls.
Light will flood the emptiness,
Blindness will be gone.
Dungeons of society,
Dungeons of our mind.
Souls sit in darkness,
Wish to dance tonight.
A dance on green meadows.
A glance to blue skies.
All just desperate dreams
To free their lonely lives.
12. Please, survive!
Sitting here in the darkness, thinking of you
Your mothers mind is full of confusion
Maybe this time she won’t get it through
Don’t think she doesn’t care, don’t think she wouldn’t love you
But societies rules make her feel oppressed
So she has to decide between your life and your breath
What kind of world is this when you’re forced to decide
A world in which the strongest live and the weak has to die
You’re unborn, you have no chance to fight
But I pray for you that you can see the light
When your mother was a child she had to learn about
Being a confounded nuisance, love wasn’t around
Her parents got divorced all she feels for them is hate
Can anybody damn her if she spares you this fate
But you are real you are six weeks ‘till now
You’ve got a right to live you must survive somehow
Six more weeks what can I do
To bring her even closer to you
What kind of world is this when you’re forced to decide
A world in which the strongest live and the weak has to die
Don’t think it’s hopeless though you cannot fight
Believe me, I pray for you that you can see the light
What kind of world is this when you’re forced to decide
A world in which the strongest live and the weak has to die
You are gods creation though you cannot fight
But I pray for you in Jesus name tonight.
