1. Only You Remain
You had the best of life
Your dreams they all came true
You've reached everything
Everything that man can do
You kept your promises
Never you have failed
If something was not right
Your money swept it away
You've been around this world
You've been in every place
You have seen things which most the people never face
Sometimes you ask yourself
Are they all really friends
Is it just your money
Will they stand by you in the end
Imagine this my friend
If world would change a bit
No money and no gold
Nothing you can buy with it
What would you do my friend
If nothing would be the same
Who will remember you
If only you remain...
You can't believe the truth
Your perfect world won't break
You pull the trigger
Without a moment's hesitate
One day you'll see
There's nothing left for you to buy
And everything you own
Won't help you when you die
Imagine this my friend
If world would change a bit
No money and no gold
Nothing you can buy with it
What would you do my friend
If nothing be the same
Who will remember you
If only you remain
Why don't you try to change it
Seek a better way for you
Never try to buy a friend
Just one thing you could do
Someday you'll find the answer
For you to live your life
You will pay back your dues
Someday you'll break the ice
Imagine this my friend
If world would change a bit
No money and no gold
Nothing you can buy with it
What would you do my friend
If nothing would be the same
Who will remember you
If only you remain...
You have to face it
All your money's nothing worth
Friends turn to enemies
You will get what you deserve
Maybe you don't care about
Don't give a fuck.
You're doin' well
Look into my gun and close your eyes
See you in Hell...
2. Empty Inside
Feeling lonely in your room
Dreaming of better life for you
Waiting for the night to come
This time the nightmare will come true
You hear this voice again
Tells you the things you have to do
Never trust to anyone
You're all alone
You and your twisted mind
never leave your friend alone
Last thing you own
You feel so empty inside
Everything's so easy
If you listen inside
Everything you needed
You will get tonight
Take what you wanna take
He said it's all right
Do what you wanna do
You're gonna win this fight
Do they all think you're insane
You try to tell them who's to blame
What you have done is not your fault
It's just the voice without a name
But when you're all aloneThe voice returns
It starts again
Never trust to anyone
You're all alone
You and your twisted mind
Never leave your friend alone
Last thing you own
You feel so empty inside
3. Those Were Better Days
Everyday
You've got the same question
You know it is a problem for you
You don't need
An excuse for growing older
But memories can be so cruel
Forever
You see the truth
Now face to face
Remember
The luck in all those days
Life's getting cold and colder
But those were better days
You're growing older and older
Now those were better days
Your past
Is getting clear and clearer
From now on you'll remember this
What you say
Is not what you are thinking
Don't imitate the things you miss
For ever
You see the truth
Now face to face
Remember
The luck in all those days
Life's getting cold and colder
But those were better days
You're growing old and older
Now those were better days
Face it
You can't bring back these times
You know
This is the past
Try now
To do the best with it
Believe me
It will be a progress
It's hard
Compared to all the good times
It's hard to get all over this
You know
Those days will never get back
This is the life
That's how it is
For ever
You see the truth now face to face
Remember
The luck in all those days
Life's getting cold and colder
But those were better days
You're growing old and older
Now those were better days
4. Just Doin' My Job
I never ask questions
I just do it right
I live my life under the law
My life is not senseless
I know what to do
They told me what I'm living for
Conscience
I never heard an inner voice
I'm just doin' my job
Justice
I'm doin' what they've told me to do
I'm just doin' my job
I never worry
Never feel bad
Everything's under control
There are just the rules
I have to follow
And nothing will ever be wrong
Conscience
I never heard an inner voice
I'm just doin' my job
Justice
I'm doin' what they've told me to do
I'm just doin' my job
Sorrows
I never heard about this word
I'm just doin' my job
Useless
Is what I think about you
I'm just doin' my job
I never will change my opinion
The law sais what's wrong and what's right
I never will lose
You're never the winner
Sometime you will break, we've got time
No chance for you, no chance for anyone
Surrender before it's too late
No chance for me or a decision
I'm doin' my job, it's my will
I never made mistakes
And I never will
'Cos I've got the law on my side
I'll never worry
About good and bad
My gun and my badge are my pride
Conscience
I never heard an inner voice
I'm just doin' my job
Sorrows
I never heard about this word
I'm just doin' my job
Useless
Is what I think about you
I'm just doin' my job
Follow the blind
It's so easy as it seems
Forget all your mind
Come and live with us in our dream
Everything's fine
Never lose the faith in our vision
Keep your nose to the grind
Never try to make your own decisions
What happened to me
Am I still free
I never will be
Forget all your doubts
Come to us
We have the key
We know all about
Life and what it means
So many have tried
To defy the way which we are praying
Our system is right
It's a lie (when) they say the Earth is dying...
5. Never Again
Rainy day, a sky as grey as the sea
Sittin' here
Waitin' for you to call me
Home alone as lonely as I wanteed to be
But loneliness is not the only thing that I need
Ask myself what's going wrong
Just don't know where I belong
Never again
I wouldn't ever do it again
Never again
I wouldn't ever do it the same way
Not another chance for me
To live my life again
But I think it is allright
All the things I didn't say
Always took the wrong way
Now I have to pay
I see my face starrin' at me off the wall
I see my friends tryin' to catch my fall
Ask myself what's going wrong
Just don't know where I beloong
Never again
I wouldn't ever do it again
Never again
I wou;dn't ever do it the same way
But in the end they couldn't help me at all
And no one's there to listen my call
6. Haunted House
7. Nothing Lasts Forever
Nothing lasts forever
No one knows the truth
Come and face reality
It will be better for you
Nothing lasts forever
Pain and misery
Soon it's getting better
Don't stop until you're free
Remember there are two sides
Of each and everything that you can see and you can feel
Remember day and night
Without a day the night would mean just death to you and me
Can't you see
Nothing
Lasts Forever
Walls
Can tumble down
No one
Is immortal
Rules
They change somehow
Sorrows
Come and go
Time
Is passing by
Feelings
Try to show you
Ways
To live your life
Can't you stop to worry
About those things which happen just to you
Only you
You always try to hurry
You've got the time to wait
until you're through oh you do
Nothing
Lasts forever
Walls
Can tumble down
No one is immortal
Rules
They change somehow
Sorrows
Come and go
Time
Is passing by
Feelings
Try to show you
Ways
To live your life
Nothing lasts forever
No one knows the truth
Come and face reality
It will be better for you
Nothing lasts forever
Pain and misery
Soon it's getting better
Don't stop until you're free
Did you find your way now
Did you see the way for you and me
Oh did you see
There is no solution
For those of us who only work for greed
That's how it seems
Nothing
Lasts forever
Walls
Can tumble down
No one
Is immortal
Rules
They change somehow
Sorrows
Come and go
Time
is passing by
Feelings Try to show you
Ways
To live your life
Nothing lasts forever
No one knows the truth
Come and face reality
It will better for you
Nothing lasts forever
Pain and misery
Soon it's getting better
Don't stop until your free
8. You've Seen The Future
When they told you all the lies
About the evil enemy
You didn't doubt a single word
So you went for them to war
One single bullet broke your back
Paralysis is now your curse
Now you remember the day
When you alked out the door
You've seen this procession
of victims and cripples of war
And you've never have seen in your life a spastic before
You've seen you future
Right in his eyes
Why can't you turn back the time
You've seen your future
You
Didn't realize
Now it's too late to lie
Now you live your life in agony
You have lost your legs forever
Another victim for another senseless war
Will we ever learn to live together?
When they told you all the lies
About the evil enemy
You didn't doubt a single word
Now you remember the day
When you walked out the door
You've seen the procession
Of victims and cripples of war
And you've never have seen
In your
life a spastic before
You've seen your future
Right in his eyes
Why can't you turn back the time
You've seen your future
You
Didn't realize
Now it's too late
9. Tell Me
Why don't you fit in our system
Is what they pray
Cut your hair
Be one of us
Is what they say
No indiduality
Just all the same
Show no more colours
It has to be just dark and grey
Tell me people who are you
To tell me what to do
Did you ever tell the truth
Or did you ever move
Hunger, pain and misery
Is what to give my friends
Who will be responsible
If there will be an end
You'll never accept the way I look
'cos there's just yours
You don't try to understand my words
You stop before
So don't you try to change me
It's not the way for me
Don't want your system and your rules
Last thing I need
Tell me people who are you
To tell me what to do
Did youever tell the truth
Or did you ever move
Hunger, pain and misery
Is what you give my friends
Who will be responsible
If there will be an end
Life is a mystery
You don't know about
In fact you're not living free
Why don't you break out
Life is a mystery
You cannot deny
Why don't you just listen to me
You don't even try
Tell me people who are you
To tell me what to do
Did you ever tell the truth
Or did you ever move
Hunger, pain and mysery
Is what you give my friends
Who will be responsible
If there will be an end
Life is a mystery
You don't know about
In fact you're not living free
Why don't you break out
10. Darken My Mind
You tell me my future
My fate in your eyes
Mususing my chastity
You master of disguise
When will I find an answer
You darken my mind
When will I find the exit
Into the other side
But you darken my mind
You sell the key
The prize is me
My soul and all my destiny
You harvest your victims
Give'em no chance
You harvest your seed of anger
Taking command
When will I find an answer
You darken my mind
When will I find the exit
Into ther other side
Why did I listen
Why did I pray
Why did I touch the evil
Now it's too late
Surrounded by dearkness
Seems like I'm blind
Visions of sadness
Drive me insane
But you darken my mind
You sell the key
The prize is me
My soul and all my destiny
Now you possess me
Your spirit is mine
Erased all my thoughts and memories
You're more than my guide
Never will find an answer
You darken my mind
Never will find the exit
There's no other side
I'm on the run
Knife in my hand
Now I've fullfilled your wishes
I ripped her flesh
Red dreams came true
Her blood felt like wet, warm kisses
I'm on the loose
I'll get my fun
Loving the fear in their eyes
I kill for you
I die for you...
11. Living For The Game
Everyday you watch the V screen
You never miss a show
You know what I mean
the main thing for you
We know it all
Is to watch the phone and wait to call
You know it
The answer
Wrong number
Bad luck
Maybe next time...
You've got no friends just you and your shows
You stay at home
That's how it goes
You need nobody to feel good
Don't even know your neighbourhood
Chorus:
Stop
Stop living for the game
No
Don't turn the TV on
Don't do the same
Stop
Stop living for the games
No
Don't be a number without a name
So now it's time to turn it on
You see the prizes they have won
You'll never face reality
You'll never get the chance to win
You know it
The answer
Wrong numbers
Bad luck
Maybe next time
You are the master of all games
Know all the numbers and all the names
No one can beat you
Oh not you
You are the best
You think it's true
Chorus:
Stop
Stop living for the game
No
Don't turn the TV on
Don't do the same
Stop
Stop living for the games
No
Don't be a number without a name
You'd give everything to win the prize
Once in your life
To be the star
You know the answer
Sure you are the one
This is not fair
The prize is gone
So now you're waiting for your time to come
They soon will see who you are
There's just the will to beat them all
Then you can proof who's the star
