1. Generation X
© Marc Dobat, Cherubim 03/99
Daylight´s rising,another lonesome time, day by day
you´re alone and you´re still waiting for a "child of mine"
The hours are gliding faster as a lightning through your hands
now you´re 29 and you´re still waiting for a friend
Chorus:
The way we are is the way so far is the way that we feel right
on our way to unknown shores we see a light so bright
They are the individual just care about themselves
they´re the middle of the universe have wise books on the shelf
There´s no use if You don´t have Jesus in you life
loneliness is just transitory you can find a life
Chorus 2:
There will be a rising day and there will come a time
when moon and sun walk hand in hand Christ should be your guide
2. Nothing More to Say
© Hans-Martin Schlenker, Cherubim 04/99
You are shutting yourself off from this awful world
enclosed in walls of religion
You are chastising yourself day by day
while this wicked world keeps on sinking down
You are only talking to people like yourself
you'll judge what's right or wrong
You don‘t need an explanation for anything
‘cause you’ve got that know-it-all attitude
Refrain
Nothing more to say - ´cause everything seems to be said
Now it's up to you to practise what you have learned!
Why do you hesitate? Hey! What are you waiting for?
get into touch with "sinners" and speak out the Good News!
You are turning a blind eye to the sick and poor
and you don't listen to their needs
You’ve become so spiritually greedy
because you’ve never been in the front line
Jesus sent us as sheep into a world of wolves
so you shouldn’t be afraid to go
Jesus didn’t come to tell good people to repent
No he sought after the wicked men
Refrain
Nothing more to say - ´cause everything seems to be said
Now it's up to you to practise what you have learned!
Why do you hesitate? Hey! What are you waiting for?
get into touch with "sinners" and speak out the Good News!
Nothing more to say - ´cause everything seems to be taught!
Now it's up to you to act on what you’re believing!
Why do you hesitate? Hey! What are you afraid of!?
Go into the world ‘n’ shout it out: "Jesus is Lord!"

4. What we Proclaim
© Hans-Martin Schlenker, Cherubim 01/97
He, who gave his life!
He, who died for us!
He, who rules forever
... will come again!
He, who made the rhythm!
He, who made the music!
He, who is the creator
... cares about you!
Now is the time to learn!
Now is the time to get!
Now is the time to fight
... the good fight
Won´t you listen now?
Won´t you believe me now?
Won´t you understand me now?
... What´s up now?
CHORUS:
Our Lord in heaven, holy is his name
his kingdom is at hand - that’s what we proclaim to you!
He, who is the way!
He, who is the truth!
He, who is the life
... is the key to heaven
He, who is the saviour!
He, who is the healer!
He, who sets us free
... still acts today
Now is the time for a prayer!
Now is the time for an answer!
Now is the time to surrender!
... you want to?
Won´t you listen now?
Won´t you believe me now?
Won´t you understand me now?
... What´s up now?
CHORUS:
Our Lord in heaven, holy is his name
his kingdom is at hand - that’s what we proclaim to you!

6. Destroy your Drugs
© Hans-Martin Schlenker, Cherubim 02/98
A dirty bloody syringe lies on the floor right in front of you
while you are leaning against a wall starting to get high!
Your eyes are staring confused into a neon light above
slowly you are sliding downwards into a puddle (pool) of urine.
Chorus:
A wrecked home or a destroyed childhood
the reason for your addiction ain´t a fiction!
You hate the circumstances you´re living in
But a break out is not in sight, now!
You´ve given your body, you´ve sold your soul, you have lost your self-esteem
and now you are laying a white line of coke - ready to sniff it up.
Your mortal terror and your troubles seem to disappear in the moment
when this chemical compound flows through your veins.
So why do you tell me everything is under control?! Isn´t that a lie?
Don´t be deceived in yourself - Aren´t you afraid of the O.D.?
You cut your own throat by your arrogance, com´on break the curse over your life
So run for this very last chance - destroy what destroys yourself!!!
Chorus(2):
Scars in your heart, crack in your mind
the reasons for your addiction ain´t a fiction.
You hate the circumstances you´re living in
But a break out is not in sight, now!
Chorus(3):
A wrecked home or a destroyed childhood
the backround for your mess is easy to catch.
A u-turn seems to be quite impossible
except if you´re changed by the blood of Christ!
