1. Future World
Music & lyrics by: Atkins/Hammer
In the distant
Far away
Trying to figure it out
But I can't explain
Now we see it
Now we don't
We're floating around
In the unknown zone
Watch the starlight
Shooting for the sky
Reaching out to catch
A piece of Paradise
Is it true
Or just imaginations
Visions twist around my mind
And brings me shelter from the night
Where do we go
Where do we go from here
When do we finally disappear
Oh future world
There's nothing left to save
They blew it all away
Future world
Tonight we're riding on
The final escape
Is it heaven
Is it hell
Is it the afterworld
Or just something else
Are we prisoners in Nowhereland
Where darkness is your only friend
Kept inside this wall of sleep
Have we fallen into a deep freeze
Left the wastelands
Broke the lines
Crossed the border to another time
Being drawn by the fates
Who run our destinies
Stranded in a state of life
Where dreams become reality
[Chorus]
In troubled times
We saw the writing on the wall
We heard the fools
Who brought the human race to fall
We'll build another generation
And not destroy the God creation
[Chorus]
Take your chances
Turn the key
Open up the doors
To another history
Here's no questions
No demands
Here's the future
This is wonderland
2. We Came To Rock
Music & lyrics by: Atkins/Hammer
If you're feeling out of nowhere
If you got no place to go
If you're feeling lost and lonely
When you're down the open road
Oh come on join our show
Here we go
Did they preach you words of wisdom
Did they fill your head with lies
Did they try to break the doorways
To the world behind your eyes
Oh, I want to know
We came to rock
We came to rock
We came to rock
We came to rock
Are you burning with the fever
Are you ready to explode
Can you feel the magic power in your heart
When you hear my voice is calling, calling
Oh come join our show
[Chorus]
We are the faces
We are the guardians of the night
We'll rock the ages
It's all right
We've seen the fire
We are defenders of your rights
We'll take you higher
Gonna take you to the sky
We'll rock until the morning light
We'll rock into your soul
We're gonna hit the stars tonight
We came to rock
To rock and roll
[Chorus]
3. Love Games
Music & lyrics by: Atkins/Hammer
Now wait a minute baby
Don't leave me, don't go
We'll work it out like we've done before
Another lonely night
Without you by my side
Can't take it, can't take it no more
A romantic chase
Two hearts out of phase
When love strikes, I'm out of control
Frustrating my mind
You know love is blind
Reflecting what's deep in my soul
The passion that rules
A feeling so strong
I just can't turn away from you
I may be a fool
But this can't go wrong
I was made for you
Love games
Two people together
Love games
Playing to win
Love games
We're dealing forever in sin
Forever in sin
Caught up in the game
And there's no one to blame
Inside this casino of love
Just messing around
With the face of a clown
Playing until I've had enough
You're rolling the dice
I'm stripped by your eyes
I can't stand the way you're teasing
As sly as a snake
You got all that it takes
You'll make a heart stop beating
[Chorus]
Since the first time you touched me
Just one time too much
Brought me down on my knees
Since the first time we kissed
I was more than possessed
I was eager to please
[Chorus]
4. Yellow Rain
Music & lyrics by: Atkins/Hammer
Tears in his eyes
The fear, oh it never dies
The echoes of the past
Are rolling on and on
For those who were left back
Tomorrow never comes
Oh, it never comes
And after all these years
Something still remains
The forever repercussions
The eternal pain
Another sleepless night
And another break of day
It doesn't matter anymore
His life will fade away
In yellow rain
They crossed the water
Back in '69
They fought for glory
Behind the enemy lines
Fighting for the nations
Pushed into the war
Without not even knowing why
Or what they're fighting for
Oh, oh
Out on the plains
Some are the masters
Some are the slaves
Oh, oh
War is a never-ending mission
You're just a pawn in a game
Where the number is your name
Left home as heroes
Fools when they returned
Blamed for all the damage
And the villages they burned
Betrayed by their leaders
Murderers they were called
Denounced as crazy maniacs
And locked behind the walls
Oh, oh
Out on the plains
Some are the masters
Some are the slaves
Oh, oh
War is a never-ending mission
They are the victims
Doomed to die
In yellow rain
We've seen them dying in the fields
In yellow rain
Just like a knight
Who's in a fight, without a shield
Oh no
Try to forget, but it just won't go
Oh no
Forever in their memories
Oh no
Hell's just some thousand miles away
Oh no no
Oh, oh
Out on the plains
Some are the masters
Some are the slaves
Oh, oh
War is a never-ending mission
They are the victims
Doomed to die
[Chorus]
5. Loud 'n' Proud
Music & lyrics by: Atkins/Hammer
Gonna hit this town tonight
Let your troubles out of sight
Scream out, spread the word around
Get all up and stand your ground
That's when your heart starts to pound
To the beat and the sound
We'll rock the night away
So just hold on to your dreams
And just keep on believing
We're living for today
Loud and proud
Loud and proud
Oh oh oh
Loud and proud
Loud and proud
In the cities
In the halls
Throw a party, have a ball
Raise your hands to Rock'n'roll
Let the rhythm take control
That's when your heart starts to pound
To the beat and the sound
We'll rock the night away
So just hold on to your dreams
And just keep on believing
We're living for today
[Chorus]
That's when your heart starts to pound
To the beat and the sound
We'll rock the night away
[Chorus]
6. Rodeo
Music & lyrics by: Atkins/Hammer
I was born and raised on the street
I grew up in a jungle of stone
I felt the madness of people
But I fought my way up alone
Cause I saw the new horizons
The future and the flame
I walked my own directions
For fortune and fame
Don't leave it behind
Go for it and maybe you'll find
Cause something is waiting for you
Just keep on believing
And make it through
Life is a rodeo
Somebody makes it
Somebody don't
And even though
You feel like loosing
Don't ever let it go
And sometimes when I came to a crossroad
Should I stick to the left or the right
When there was more than just one way to go
Then I chose to head for the light
I found myself on the outside
And I faced the chance to get in
Now I left the moments of twilight
Prepared to win
[Chorus]
7. Needles In The Dark
Music & lyrics by: Atkins/Hammer
Welcome to the dark side of the 20th century
The world has gone crazy
Tells you tales and show you things you hardly won't believe
Though you gotta face it
I'm watching the screen
I hear what they say
But I don't believe
The words of today
Walking back in history
The wise men prophesied
That hard times were dawning
Read into their tarots
For the future of mankind
And cried out their warnings
I'm watching the screen
I hear what they say
But I don't believe
The words of today
Needles in the dark
There are needles in the dark
Needles in the dark
There are needles in the dark
Wars and religion
Are a threat to planet Earth
The hunger for power
We'll be victims when we're reaching red alert
In the final hour
[Chorus]
Mountains of madness
Will turn into sadness
We'll die
WHY?
Father creator
Look at mother nature
She cries
Oh Lord in the skies
Please take me away
[Chorus]
8. Eye Of The Storm
Music & lyrics by: Atkins/Hammer
Dreams of a lifetime
Thrills from long ago
These years of joy now have flown
Silhouettes in a mirror
I'll recognise her face
Ten thousand years out in space
She
She meant everything to me
Scarlet woman with eyes of gold
She's out on the edge of my dream
Venus arising
Planet caravans
Create a cosmic romance
Like a touch of her spirit
Voices from the past
Just like a spell that's been cast
I've been walking through tears and pain
Every time I catch her breath
Oh, but I still do remain
In the eye of the storm
In the eye of the storm
Seasons are changing
Winter of my life
The memories still survive
And the dreams of my love
Are coming down like rain
Every time I call out her name
And she
She meant everything to me
Scarlet woman with eyes of gold
She
She's out on the edge of my dreams
In the eye of the storm
In the eye of the storm
Eye of the storm
I am no stranger
No stranger to love any more
I've tried it all
So many times before
And I've been going through changes
But I can't fight this feeling
And I'm still dreaming on
And on and on...
[Chorus]
9. Long Way To Go
Music & lyrics by: Atkins/Hammer
I met a girl
Who really shook my foundation
You know, that chick
Is really driving me mad
But she lives that life
That she loves to live
Yes she does
She's out on the street
In leather and lace
She's all that I need
I'm in for the chase
And then she turns her back on me
It's like her body's been chained
To my eyes
I'm living in a fantasy
And though you know
That your heart never lies
You know it's sauch a long way to go
It's a long way to go
Such a long way to go
It's a long way to go
Such a long way to go
She knows exactly how to draw
My attention
You know that feeling
Running down your spine
She's dragging my heart around and around
Round and round
She's the one
I'm dreaming of
And now I become
A prisoner of love
I'll catch her smile
While going down
Going down
[Chorus]
Getting closer
Won't be long
She's so hot
I just can't get her out of my head
[Chorus]
