4. The Healer
5. Days of Sorrow
1. Them
Searching - for competence
Dreaming - of innocence
Finding - no consequence
Moving around
Without a doubt
Betray the crowd
Showing ways out
Breeding - the nothingness
Feeding - the loneliness
Killing - the happiness
Ruling the lands
Guilty as sin
Talk with their hands
Playing to win
There's no shame for
Their greed to make more
rules they preyed for
2. Imagination
Can't they imagine that we (don't) need no more
no more fighting
'cause what is it for
They all fooled us
These stupid rulers
Those who followed
soon were swallowed
And what they told us has never been untrue Don't they feel
that there are other things to do
What are they there for
If they rule no more
What are they there for
Time to end the suffering
Out of nothing something
And we will not discuss it anymore
Time to stop the fighting
Nowhere left for hiding
And on all of our leaders we wage war
Time to stop the talking
Destiny is knocking
And you can't run away from the door
All these discussions about these stupid wars
Only talking
as if they can't do more
What the past shows
Is when fear grows
All these leaders
Talk like preachers
Then they move people like puppets in a store
Without a feeling
They will move some more
What are they there for
If they rule no more
What are they there for
Time to end the suffering
Out of nothing something
And we will not discuss it anymore
Time to stop the fighting
Nowhere left for hiding
And on all of our leaders we wage war
Time to stop the talking
Destiny is knocking
And you can't run away from the door

4. The Healer
It was the time we cried for justice loud
We did and felt so proud
Then they start to cut the moral out
Allright, we have allowed
And they start to sort the people out
We looked away and had no doubt
See, when he first came it looked like a sign
He promised to save us from crime
So we thought everything would be fine
And he heals all our wounds - but...
Then he starts saying
doubters are waiting
He talked about
the only one
he had become
the only thing
that we could win
and pray to him - so pray to him
And it seems to be
that hear now, fear now
We, we didn't see
the tears now, tears now
And could it really be that we
we're never free or meant to be - see
We called him healer, see what we got
We were believers, see what we got
And now we cry for freedom loud
They laugh and felt so proud
Then we tried to turn the wheel around
Too late, we're not allowed
See, when he first came it looked like a sign
He promised to save us from crime
So we thought everything would be fine
He heals all our wounds - but...
Then he starts saying
doubters are waiting
He talked about
the only one
he had become
the only thing
that we could win
and pray to him - so pray to him
And it seems to be
that here now, fear now
We, we didn't see
the tears now, tears now
And could it really be that we
we're never free or meant to be - see
We called him healer, see what we got
We were believers, see what we got
Too late...
5. Days of Sorrow
Sacrifice the innocent
Free the guilty - Where is the sense
Nothing certain, nothing left
You sleep heavy, dream of death
They kill for gods which they say talk to them
I've seen some pictures we should show to him
Just talking we all know the ones
Unable to find solutions
No honour, only in the past
Remember that your vote is cast, vote is cast
My weary eyes weap so full of pain
I've seen too much, been too much to complain
Promises broken and unfullfilled
Taxes rising, can't believe
Soon they'll tax the air we breathe
Pay for something, pay again
We're all victims in the end
Maybe they'll kill us for what we believe
Or what has happened in past centuries
Unable to find solutions
Just looking at television
We're getting older, waiting for change
We did not realize the truth once again
Promises broken and unfullfilled
