1. Father
Where is your kingdom
lord can you show me
the place
can you tell me
where all the tears
are falling down
just give me a sign
one good reason
that i'm living for
one sign one easy sign
there's no chance to
hide away
Father father
is there a way for me
father father
is there a candle
in the night
to show me the way
give me absolution
for all the things
that i've done
why you tell me
that all my prayers
are falling down
just give me a sign
one good reason
that i'm living for
one sign one easy sign
there's no chance to
hide away
Father father
is there a way for me
father father
is there a candle
in the night
to show me the way
Where is your kingdom
and where is your light
your hand of creation
can heal me inside
2. Push
Waiting on sacrifice
sacred fires
rushing with the wind
we are living in a
dangerzone
listen to a prayermachine
praying a tainted precedent
heart on the heart
we break the rules again
just you and me
we're coming up or going down together
What d'you want from me
you can't find the key
what d'you want from me
push your heart to pray
This world deaf and blind
is a sign for the end of time
no one surrenders
no one surrenders
heart on heart
we break the rules again
skin on skin
the foreign blood
feels like
my own deep river
what d'you want from me
can you find the key
what d'you want from me
push your heart to pray
3. When the Wind Blows
After the curtain falling
is the end
hard to believe and not to cry
words and feelings
pouring over
my pain and my skin
but I don't want
to say goodbye
ain't no coming back
this time
I can see it in my dreams
When the wind blows
right into my face
when the wind blows
into my face again
back on the raging waters
of the sea
look for a harbour to sail in
again the lies
again the feelings
again the mistakes
i'm waiting for the hurricane
and the tears that you taste
believe me
and the fears that I have
are the fears you deny
sincerely
When the wind blows
right into my face
when the wind blows
into my face again
The storm is coming
the storm is breaking loose
4. My Crying
Here's the grand illusion
superstituous man
I can see how it all began
a pocket full of dreams
and a story backwards told
we dream it all in vain
holding on, holding on
this is my final warning
here is my news today
This is my crying
for these good old bad days
kings and queens
and presidents
this is my world
this is my crying
for these good old bad days
give her away, taking it down
to the poisoned water
this is my world
this is my world
Where's the grand solution
unimortal world
any fool can rule the land
when everything has changed
and the dog spelled
backwards god
infected till the end
holding on, holding on
this is my final warning
here's my news today
This is my crying
for these good old bad days
kings and queens
and presidents
this is my world
this is my crying
for these good old bad days
give her away, taking it down
to the poisoned water
5. Soul Survives
Mission of your life
coming from the past
we can leave it all behind
try to understand
what it's all about
we can't change it all
this time
any point of view
flowing down the line
we can't hear the world this time
this time
mission of your life
we come along
we have to go
takes a million years
for us to find a home
we never want
Passion to the pain
do we need a savior
need a savior
pray for the light
pray for the day
pray for the illusion wishes fail
and nothing's sacred
Cross the water
cross the bridge
one gross failure
a million years
the databank won't forget
The soul survives
visions closer
visions closer
Written in a book
in a language
we don't know
takes a million years
we never go
passion to the pain
do we need a savior
need a savior
Pray for the son
pray for the night
pay for illusions just to buy
the prince of tides
cross the water
cross the bridge
cross for the savior
a million tears
the databank won't forget
The soul survives
visions closer
wishes closer
Round and round and
round we go
when we're waiting
for the lord
and the ultimatum falls
when the unborn
is not king again
our calculation is false
when we're drifting
day by day
to a point of no return
then the prayer for
the light of day
is written on your soul
ten thousand years away.
The soul survives
visions closer
vicious closer
round and round
and round we go
6. Anytime
I see the storm is coming
from a hundredten
miles in a shade
and the rain keeps failing down
on a summer night parade
i'm asking
who is gonna do this
little girl o' mine
i'm not there
when she needed me to stay
I'm praying
anytime and anyday
I said lady
you gave your light away
anytime and anyday
the tears will fall
for my lady
He's a lonesome renegade
nobody understands
but addicted from the lust
to take little girls
again and again
doctor can you tell me
why you set him free
so he was there
when she needed me to stay
I'm praying
anytime and anyday
I said lady
you gave your light away
anytime and anyday
the tears will fall
for my lady
Who is gonna hold you
there in heaven
who will wash away
all the tears
who is there to tell you
when you're seven
singing you a song
for your birthday
do you love your mummy
and your daddy
do you feel the hole
in our hearts
I know sometimes
my own love executes me
someday I will drown
in my own tears
I'm praying
anytime and anyday
I said lady
you gave your light away
anytime and anyday
the tears will fall
for my lady
7. Judas
Obsessions throwing
sticks and stones
to break your bones into
sympathy for lies and hate
are no no good
enemies sow bitter seed
to satisfy their blood
behind your eyes
you are so mean
It's a sticky situation
a ticket to hell
we know nothing 'bout
that faking temptation
the kiss and goodbye
is a wishing you well
You're no son of god
and you're no son of love
you're a judas
I know that you are
a part of me
Treat me beat me or defeat me
nail me to the tree
lovin' prayers are lullabies
for you and me
police and politicians
the best that money can buy
you measured god
corruption aid
infected situation
you merchant of lies
you seem closer
to a holy sensation
of walking on water
when water is ice
You're no son of god
and you're no son of love
you're a judas
I know that you are
a part of me
8. Back to Me
Here comes the jet airliner
the thing that breaks up apart
breakin' rules
play everybody's asshole
and let go sun go down
we march ahead
to the frontline
there is no chance to deny
you have to leave
like the others
to go and fight for a lie
and tears are falling
when this empty night
is calling
And your tear falls in the
river touches the sea
sea meets the stream
while angels sleep
waters run in straight
from the river
to the sea
back to me, back to me
They're marching
into the desert
it's a killing joke
the drying out of the children
is our shame for the love
again the jet airliner
the thing that breaks up apart
you have to leave
like the other boys brother
I don't wanna let you go
but tears are falling
when this empty night is calling
And your tear falls in the
river touches the sea
sea meets the stream
while angels sleep
waters run in straight
from the river
to the sea
back to me, back to me
9. How Many Tears
Brother can you see
that the time's just begun
brother can you see
that the time's moving on
brother can you
follow the light
into a better place
brother can you see
that your life's a disgrace
What's going on in your head
something's driving you mad
How many tears
how many days
how many roads
how many tears
how many days
how many roads
how many lives we spend
Sister can't you see
that your life's just begun
sister can you see
that your life's moving on
and don't you see
there is another way
to another place
for you and me sister
what's going on in your head
something's driving you mad
How many tears
how many days
how many roads
away from you
how many tears
how many days
how many roads
how many lives we spend
away from you
I tell you brother
I tell you sister
you are miles away
from the truth
