1. News




2. Paralized

We’re not informed, manipulated by well selected truth
We shouldn’t see, shouldn’t hear it, it might disturb our sleep
They’re casting TV-games, live is but a game-show
Daily lullabies, the newest one's called desert hunt

Let’s see if we can beat the high-score bonus points for every thousand dead shot Arabs
Paralized, we don’t know what’s going on
Paralized we can’t change it anyway

Clear the news so we can see the world thought your eyes
Clean and brave, in your war's no place for dying

Paralized, we don’t know what’s going on
Paralized we can’t change it anyway

He was good enough to act as your cat’s-paw
In his fratricidal war, just a means to an end
Now it's too late, you fought fire with fire
And you still feed the flames.
Ain’t you scared to burn yourself?




3. Run

He’s sitting there in silence
His hat between his knees
They are in a hurry
No one takes notice of him
It’s cold here in the city
His fingers are stiff and numb
He tries to count the money
But it slips away

There ain't no place that he calls home
They always chase him away
No chance for a brighter day

All day on the run, all night on the loose
He wants to get away
All day on the run, all night on the loose
He can’t escape at all

He is dreaming of better days
Just memories so far away
They can't take his pride
No wine can drown it
It helps to forget
And helps him bear the pain

There ain't no place that he calls home
They always chase him away
No chance for a brighter day

All day on the run, all night on the loose
He wants to get away
All day on the run, all night on the loose
He can’t escape at all




4. Take the pain

She’s sitting alone in her bedroom
Not for the first time
He’s sleeping next door
She won’t cry
She touches her cheek that is bleeding
Not for the first time
And no one believes her
She dares to sigh

How can he do so?
She loves him so

How can she take the pain?
No one out there'd believe her
How can she take the pain?
There's no one to cry to

He's coming home late at night
He's drunk again
She has to be careful
He’s dangerous
Not even her mother can help her
He’s out of control
They know his bad temper
Untamable

How can he do so?
She loves him so

How can she take the pain?
No one out there'd believe her
How can she take the pain?
There's no one to cry to




5. Innocence

It’s my eyes that tell me to believe again
It's my mind that tells me to give up
‘Cos I’ll never know what change may come along
But I don’t wanna give it up

It’s just an eye for an eye
Not worth another try

Losing my innocence
Can’t make it stay, it slowly fades away
Losing my innocence
Day by cay, it slowly fades away

Isn’t it funny, my dreams still last
It could be so nice, it’s not under my control

I feel a fire inside, yet you can’t see it on the surface
It heats up my heart and one day I will drown in flames

It's the way I feel, all is black and white
No colour lies between, the contrast blinds my sight

Losing my innocence
Can’t make it stay, it slowly fades away
Losing my innocence
Day by cay, it slowly fades away

Isn’t it funny, my dreams still last
It could be so nice, it’s not under my control

Once I thought, we are good by nature
I’m no longer sure

But it's the doubt that keeps me working
It’s the doubt that tells me to go on




6. No man's land

Out in the streets on the pavement
Alone in the creeping night
No one's there to care about
All their fears in the fading light

No school to go to, no education
No chance to leave this misery someday
All hopes and fears are to find a few bucks
They’d make'em kings for a day

They’re living in the no man's land
They’re living on the edge of tomorrow
They’re living in the no man's land
Their lives are nothing but sorrow

Wasted days, wasted childhood
There’s no way to be a child today
Just having fun on the playground
Carelessly running with the wind, one day

They’re living in the no man's land
They’re living on the edge of tomorrow
They’re living in the no man's land
Their lives are nothing but sorrow




7. Agony




8. Start fighting

I’m looking around, don’t like what I see
All the doors have been closed as the night draws near
I feel the suspense, it clings in the air
Takes only a spark to rouse the people out there

No, you can't imprison a whole nation day by day
No, you can't treat them, can't treat’em this way

Start fighting for your lives
Just take what you deserve
Start fighting for your lives
And don’t give in

Nom you’re trapped again, in chains of gold
They sparkle and shine,
They won’t set you free

You’re wrong to believe, in all that was told
Hold on to your dreams, don’t ever give in

No, you can't imprison a whole nation day by day
No, you can't treat them, can't treat’em this way

Start fighting for your lives
Just take what you deserve
Start fighting for your lives
And don’t give in


Don’t turn

Life’s passing fast this side of paradise
I’m watching days follow days
Faster it goes the longer you stay
It’s running away in a blink of your eye

We can’t escape the times me live in
Must play our part while our time runs off

But I ain’t gonna cry a tear
It’s the way it’s meant to be
No, I ain’t gonna cry a tear
No time to waste

Don’t turn around,
Don’t try to hide in memories
Don’t turn around,
Look ahead and find a new horizon

But I ain’t gonna cry a tear
It’s the way it’s meant to be
No, I ain’t gonna cry a tear
No time to waste

Don’t turn around,
Don’t try to hide in memories
Don’t turn around,
Look ahead and find a new horizon

Look inside your heart
And you’ll know the way
Look inside your heart
Let it lead you




9. Spellbound

We’re walking at night
In neon light
And we’re bound
We’re bound by spell
Our victims await
And we don’t hesitate
We don’t cause’em no pain
We gotta do it again now

You keep me spellbound
Forever young
You keep me spellbound
Forever young

You told me to believe
But you let me down
Feel my pain
Can’t you help me again?
I fall to decay
Before your eyes
I know how you feel
No need to pretend now

You keep me spellbound
Forever young
You keep me spellbound
Forever young




10. Leaving

As I m looking out into the night
And count the stars all shining brightly
I don’t know were I am and were I’m going

Sometimes it seems I’ve lived before
And I can see beyond the door
But it’s just a notion I leave showing

I might wake up young again
With feelings of a new day
But it’s leaving
Youth is leaving me

I’m looking back and see 10 years have gone
Nothing’s happened and nothing’s done
A few more scares is all I have at last

Sometimes I wish I could turn back the time
I’ve done so much without reason or rhyme
But it’s too late to change the way I choose

I might wake up young again
With feelings of a new day
But it’s leaving
Youth is leaving me
