1. Sharply Condemned
Can you make it through another day?
Can you believe the load of shit I heard today?
I still wonder how we keep on going this way
What can you say?
Another burning city occupied
The mighty soldier laughs and babies cry
How can we just go on with our lives?
Today at the nine o'clock news
Terrorism and child abuse
Is shown like a weather report to me
How proud we are of the cream of prime time
Will I make it through another day?
(Is) somebody ever gonna listen
To what I have to say?
Will they be keeping me from playing?
What can I say?
Another burning city occupied
The mighty soldier laughs and babies cry
How can we just go on with our lives?
The great wheel of time turns
We sharply condemn
(But) their cities still burn
Listen how pride sounds in empty words
But if asked for deeds we can't be disturbed
We sharply condemn
but that's where it ends
Our duty goes much further than that
Is it really so hard for us to see how?
Tell me who is really condemned now?
I sharply condemn
I don't know to what end
There's more to be spoken than this sad song
I won't stay out for long now
So easy to tell you what is wrong
You think I am the fool
And who am I to blame you?
I think I'll go out there
And show you the way
You don't need another smartass
Somebody please help me find the way
2. Hope And Fear
Young men searching for the truth
Are not afraid to try
Are not afraid to die
(They) ask themselves is this for love
If so, will it be enough?
Will it be enough?
Your mind is tricked to make a leap of faith
Into those deadly acts of hate
No compassion anymore
No passion anymore
Young men tricked to make a leap of faith
Mercy is something that can wait
Let's fight this dirty war
Let's fight this dirty war
What are you hoping for?
Will we ever smile again?
Forgiving our enemies
And treat them like friends
Will we see again?
A wise man shows the truths of life
He was not afraid
So sad he passed away
If we fail to stop this madness
Will it be enough?
Will it be enough?
Our minds are tricked to make a leap of faith
Into those deadly acts of hate
No compassion anymore
No passion anymore
Young men tricked to make a leap of faith
Mercy is something that can wait
We'll fight this dirty war
We'll fight this dirty war
What are we hoping for?
Will we ever smile again?
Embracing our enemies
And proud to tell our friends
Will we see again?
Fulfilling the promise
Abandoning this death wish
Will we ever make them smile?
Reach into in their hearts
We will understand
We will see again
Join them in the foray
Into this political frenzy
Join them to the king's dismay
They will not understand
Will we ever smile again?
Embracing our enemies
And proud to tell our friends
Will we see again?
Fulfilling the promise
Abandoning this death wish
Will we ever make them smile?
Reach into in their hearts
We will understand
We will see again
3. Eternal Life
(It) started out so wonderful
I heard those sounds so beautiful
Heaven down here below
I never felt this way before
So free of mind
The last time was too long ago
So much to find
An angel trying to touch my soul
No arguing about wrong and right
Your world that's not just black & white
Right from your heart
A power so strong
Right where I belong
The passion in your word and song
But what went wrong?
So many people left alone
Feel my heart bleed
Just knowing and to see you die
Hear me cry
(It) feels so bad to see you go
Drifting quietly along the flow
But hear me cry
A part of us dies
To go and lay beside your angels
So new for me and still not strange
(It) just seemed so right
But then a darkness came
And there was night
A shattered dream a nightmare now
The darkest night
So many left alone
Feel my heart bleed
Just knowing and to see you die
Hear me cry
(It) feels so bad to see you go
Drifting quietly along the flow
But hear me cry
A part of us dies
I cry and cry and cry
Feel my heart bleed
Just knowing and to see you die
Hear me cry
Feel my heart bleed
Just knowing and to see you die
Please tell me why
4. Path Of Daggers
Sun and steel
Faith and the Wheel
I won't kneel for
Empires falling
Prophesies calling
The power tainted
Strength for pain
Spinning weaves of spirit and water
Drawing the power I fill the void
Play with witches as if they're children
They're snapping like twigs their mortal souls
Somebody please come tell me now
I cannot sleep not knowing how
My dreams a prison
But I swear I vow
I'll meet my fate that day
No way
Still I feel
The Filth so real
Still I won't kneel for
Darkness calling
My sanity falling
But I won't fail them
A world to gain
Spinning weaves of earth and fire
Drawing the power I fill the void
Leash the gifted as if they're witches
They're snapping like twigs their mortal souls
Somebody please come tell me now
I cannot sleep not knowing how
My dreams a prison
I swear I vow
I will meet my fate that day
Yes I will surely take that vow
I'll meet my fate that day
Spinning weaves of air and fire
Drawing the power I fill the void
Hide our kin and save our children
They're snapping like twigs their mortal souls
Somebody please come tell me now
I cannot sleep not knowing how
My dreams a prison
I swear I vow
I'll meet my fate that day
Somebody please come tell me now
(I cannot sleep not knowing how)
I can not live
(My dreams a prison)
(I swear I vow)
Cause I can not live
Not live
5. So Help Me God
We're seeking the truth
(In) the world around us
Emotionally burdened
It's science that leads us
Oh man, it's so hard
So hard to see thus
Too bad it's something
Something that I must
I warned you
I told you
But you won't listen to me
I've shown you
And bet you
I bet that you'll never believe
I hope you
can change you
And try to see it like me
I blame you
Can't explain you
I wonder if we'll ever agree
Aware of what's happening
I'm slowly realizing
Too eager and too proud
Am I patronizing?
Oh man, it's so hard
To quit rationalizing
Too bad it got so far
But I must keep on trying
I warned you
I told you
But you won't listen to me
I've shown you
And bet you
I bet that you'll never believe
I hope you
Can change you
And try to see it like me
I blame you
Can't explain you
I wonder if we'll ever agree?
Ever agree?
I'm scared, I'm unable
(My) logic don't seem to work
Our minds are so tired
And our vision so blurred
I'm scared, I'm not able
Are we supposed to save this world?
My mind is on fire
And my brain is overworked
I can't help but speak true, can't you hear me?
It leads me more and more astray
I must set my heart open
Let the urge fade away
Aware of what's happening
I'm slowly realizing
Too eager and too proud
Am I patronizing?
Oh man, it's so hard
To quit rationalizing
Too bad it got so far
But I must keep on trying
I warned you
I told you
But you won't listen to me
I've shown you
And bet you
I bet that you'll never believe
I hope you
Can change you
And try to see it like me
I blame you
Can't explain you
I wonder if we'll ever agree?
Ever agree?
6. Flower
Shine - a light so clear it fills the night
Glow - fill your friends with joy and pride
Breathe - and blow away their sorrows
Cry - and let them help to ease your soul
And let them help to ease your soul
Let them please your soul
Against a heart so cold
That night he lost his mind
That night she lost her life
Wake up and everything is fine
Try - to keep them from temptation
Know - your friends from your enemies
Run - will you become a refugee?
Hide - and hope that they won't find you
And hope that they won't find you
And hope that he will mind you
While he hungers for more
That night he lost his mind
The night she lost her life
Wake up and everything is fine
Young girl born in sadness
Father's drunk, away and careless
Twisted mind, relentless attitude
Leaves the window open
Late at night the light's still on
I know she's not alone
Shine - a light so clear it fills the night
Glow - fill your friends with joy and pride
Breathe - and blow away their sorrows
Cry - and let them help to ease your soul
And let them help to ease your soul
Heal your broken soul
Broken soul
That night I lost my mind
The night she lost her life
Wake up and everything is a lie
Young girl born in darkness
Father's drunk, away and careless
Restless mind, relentless attitude
Leaves the window open
Late at night the light's still on
I know you're not alone
7. The Rider
Ride on the wind like a flake of snow with a
Freedom that gives me no right or wrong
Never will reach the horizon before me
The voyage itself the ultimate goal
Look at the clouds in the sky
The rain and the storm
(The rain and the storm)
Pushes me forth to an unseen goal
Leaves me battered and worn
(Leaves me battered and worn)
Open my mind to the storm ahead
Waiting for thunder to strike me down
Heavenly power of lightning and rain
That cleans my soul
Look at the clouds in the sky
The rain and the storm
(The rain and the storm)
Pushes me around and around
To an unseen goal
(Leaves me battered and worn)
Unbound like dust in the wind
And the eternal stone
( The rain and the storm )
I've traveled so far and so long
But this road's my home
(Leaves me battered and worn)
The Rider is roaming roaming free
Pushes me
Forth to an unseen goal
Where will it be?
The Rider is roaming
And no place to stay
Better be
Push me around
So far far away
The Rider is roaming free
Pushes me
forth to an unseen goal,
I don't care where it will be
The Rider is roaming free
Pushes me
around and around
I don't care where it will be
8. Nothing Worth Fighting For
Anarchy that rules the
Streets today and frightens them
I don't care no more
Yes, I've had my day
Let them steal the moment
As nature's weeping for their crimes
No hope for redemption
It's a sign of the times
Leave me alone now
I won't do you no wrong
I can't stand the fight
That you want me for
I won't do no wrong
So leave me alone
I can't stand the fight you want me for
Leave me be, I can't do wrong
(Cause) you ain't gotta cause worth fighting for
Crawl out of the muck
Please have patience and wait
My mind is still stuck
Ethics of love and hate
Revenge attempts
To devour my heart and soul
Will I be able to tell my tale
To this helpless world
I won't do no wrong, so leave me alone
(O won't you please leave me alone)
I can't stand the fight you want me for
(I don't want to fight for a cause not my own)
Leave me be, I can't do wrong
(Let me find my own way)
You ain't got a cause worth fighting for
( I'm not the one to save the day )
I won't do no wrong, so leave me alone
(O won't you please leave me alone)
I can't stand the fight you want me for
(I don't want to fight for a cause not my own)
Leave me be, I can't do wrong
(Let me find my own way)
You ain't gotta cause worth fighting for
(You ain't gotta cause)
You ain't got a cause
Worth fighting for
You ain't got a cause
Homeless, let it be
Take me away from (your) misery
Craving souls, am I blind?
I couldn't care less; they're not my kind
Freedom? I can't set free
Waste of time, can't you see
Freedom? I can't set free
No one will ever be saved by me
No!
I won't do no wrong, so leave me alone
(O won't you please leave me alone)
I can't stand the fight you want me for
(I don't want to fight for a cause not my own)
Leave me be, I can't do wrong
(Let me find my own way)
You ain't got a cause worth fighting for
(I'm not the one to save the day)
I won't do no wrong, so leave me alone
(O won't you please leave me alone)
I can't stand the fight you want me for
(I don't want to fight for a cause not my own)
Leave me be, I can't do wrong
(Let me find my own way)
You ain't gotta cause
(You ain't gotta cause)
9. Promises
For years, no reasons to fear,
No one failed these times
A golden era
Why? If only few die
If only few cry
For the bad times have gone?
Lies, festering lies
Still disguised
Hidden beneath the surface
Wail, hear them wail
For now they fail
To keep their empty promises
Still nothing really wrong
Still seems strong
Will it be enough?
People getting bored
Want to see blood
(They've) seen their faces too many times
Food for lies
Hear them cry
Screaming for their downfall
Wail, hear them wail
For now they fail
So easy to break your promises
Lies, filthy lies, it gets them high
They dare go all the way
Wail, hear them wail
For now they fail
To keep their promises
10. Bad Religion
Crusades
Christians
Wrought with good intentions
Righteousness in every street
Brave knights
And dead pigs
It's just a matter of viewing
I'm praying for the dying
Driven by this madness
Too blind to see the unending sadness
Is there any hope left?
In this sad sad situation
Daring to misuse my faith
It's hard to find a cause for hate
Wickedness or is it
Just a case of bad religion?
Cases of HIV
In a world that's rich with cures
The Pope won't bend his knee
For the sake of their religion
You have to close your wild pubs down
And freedom can't be found
Driven by this madness
Too blind to see the unending sadness
Is there any hope left?
In this sad sad situation
Daring to misuse my faith
It's hard to find a cause for hate
Wickedness or is it
Just a case of bad religion?
I'm searching the heavens
And looking for gods
Will I follow the right path?
Be facing the odds?
I search society
I search myself
Confused in this turmoil
Must I end up in Hell?
And who is wrong and who is right?
I'm lost in this age's darkest night
Maniacs, madness, fill me with tears
I'm running but can I hide from
My own fears?
I wonder yes I wonder
When I'm looking at the skies
Is there a heaven for the living?
Or just this hell and we can't hide?
I'd rather fly away and catch the stars
And my time is passing by
And except for my own family
Will it be lasting when I die?
I'm searching the heavens
And looking for gods
Will I follow the right path?
Be facing the odds?
I search society
I search myself
Confused in this turmoil
Must I end up in Hell?
And who is wrong and who is right?
I'm lost in this age's darkest night
Maniacs, madness, fill me with tears
I'm running but can I hide from
My own fears?
