1. Burden's Gone
If you sleep well
won´t you turn out the light
all you do is take it easy
even after all
you have made no promises
you can hear them call
and the rich man he gets what he wants
nowadays there´s no need
to pretend that it´s allright
all you got to do is close your eyes before the light
got this feeling
there is noone to blame
there´s no need to feel ashamed
now the burden´s gone
everything overthrown
don´t you think that we deserve what we deny?
do you think that we are
free to keep away from sin?
I am not the one to save the world
I am not the one to even try
all I want to do is be myself
still I don´t know who i am
so you sleep well
you are left all alone
drifting towards the unknown
even after all
you have made no promises
noone you could call
as you wait for the hammer to fall
nowadays there´s no need
to pretend that it´s allright
all you got to do is close your eyes before the light
close your eyes before the light
2. Within a Minute
Yet another war is gone
and with a small disgusting yawn
we never fail to understand
since we opened up our eyes
being oh so civilized
it could never happen again
they told us to believe
there is a light to follow
some guiding star that shines for you and me
within a minute it will change
what has been will deranged
and as the fire burns again
we´re still proud of being man
awaiting dawn...
what are we more than
an accident in flesh and blood
what are we more than a dream we never got
I make a wish upon star
we never got this far
what we are is what we are
yesterday you were made to obey
and we believed in a nation so strong
today they claim we´re all one race
tomorrow they´ll sing you a different song
anything they told you
has been given you to make you think
anything they tell you is the one and only truth
always the same thing
history repeating again
now here comes the one and only
invincible human race
within a minute it will change
we´re still proud of being man
awaiting dawn...
who do you think we are?
where do you think we´ll go?
awaiting dawn...
3. Obligation to Belong
Seem to be sleeping
dream while awake
with open eyes I´m stumbling
searching excuses just being late
senseless as usual
black remarks being made
constantly amused
about my unencumbered self
always put the blame on anybody else
I´m slightly oiled
whenever I love myself
slightly oiled
I love myself
this song dedicated to that one
obligation to belong
dedicated to the fool I´ve been
find out who I am
make them understand
I am not the one they might have seen
this trembling never subsides
I don´t know why
but I know I cannot hide
all the pain I feel inside
I have been living a lie
why do we never seem to care about each other?
running away from ourselves
running away...
4. Shades of Grey
Just like your father and your father´s father lived
your laws forever carved in stone
proud of yourself
your weakness is your strenght I see
proud of yourself
still you are claiming only one way to live
I don´t need my religion
to justify the way I am
all that I say is black and white
are nothing more than different shades of grey
penetrate my vision
penetrate my mind
look into my eyes
I´d rather be all alone
before my mind turns to stone
what the hell do you want
from me - as you´re trying to make me smile
you see - I´ve been thinking for a while
same old story
blood and glory
for so many years
I never wanted you to know that I´m afraid
I never wanted you to know
5. Real Thing
For all those little things that I fear
I can see no reason but the fact
that I like to live
both eyes open wide
knowing it came from you
I know I´m never gonna say I´m sorry
I know there´s a difference between me
and what I seem to be
I don´t know
all that I´m asking for is the real thing
all that I´m asking for is you
sometimes I sit and onanate in front of my tv
well it seems a little better
now that I know your name
all that I´m asking for is the real thing
all that I´m asking for is you
see the man with the riddle
he´s always in the middle
with his hands up in the air
he´s got to look for conversation
in the nation that I fear
being always quite ready
a hundred percent steady
and always on the air
he´s got to look for consolation
in the nation of despair
I know I´m never gonna say I´m sorry
doesn´t really matter says the man on the tv
and I guess he´s right
6. Silence
