1. THE NOW AND HERE IS NEVER
It's hard to live in two dimensions, deny a dream that others have
A share of this is my intension, you beside I go to bed
The now and here is never, like present past in future's hand
The now and here is gone forever, and I will love you till the end.
My heart's a wasteland when you're absent. no jasmine floating in the breeze
I smell your perfumes heavy descent, a fading vision, hard to seize
Your steps still echo in the stairway, the door is closed, night's around
And in your arms, I dream the dawning day, all I was longing for I found
2. WAR IN MY HEAD
Sitting in a bomber, over japan we go
Looking out the window, hiroshima below
All I got to do is : ginger up, the bomb site clear
Picking up the target, release the gear
I'm coming home, back from the bombing raid
I will return, but there's still war in my head
Then the bomb is striking, there they dance in its bright flash
Waves of fire raging 'cross the fallen, torn and slashed
Accepting no surrender, mercy ain't be given now
In my head the thunder, cruel force to bow
Sometimes when I'm sleeping, I see flames coming up
In my head the thunder makes my ear drum snap
I guess it would be better to take a gun and shoot it out
No I didn't want that, the burning people shout
On august, the 6th of 1945 80.000 people died
100.000 were mutilated
And 300.000 are still suffering, still suffering, suffering ...
3. DIGITAL HEAVEN
In a building cold and empty, in a room so far away
Sits a little crippled human fearing nothing but the light of day
In front of his computer ones and zeros on the screen
He writes binary love letters and the cpu ain't mean
And he will
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay in digital heaven
Pray, pray, pray, pray, pray to the computer god
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay in digital paradise
Pray, pray, pray, pray, pray to the network's nod
The vr-set in front of his eyes, naked women shotgun ready
Hasting through the rendered houses, hunted by a guy named freddy
On his mouse a sharpened razor, devastation on his mind
Glad to find another icon, seems to be of his own kind
In front of bits and bytes he kneels like in a dome
He doesn't read the holy bible, he has got his flash-eprom
In the board there lives his mother, in the ram his father sits
An orgasm shakes his body, when at last the password fits
4. SISTER OF MERCY
Knocking at her backyard's door, torment waits inside
Kisses he demands no more, torture's the delight
Close your eyes, open your mind, sister of mercy, love me blind
Pain is truth, the mask behind, sister of mercy, be so kind
She crowns him with a razor-wire, tantalized the soul
Subjugation his desire, on his knees to crawl
There's pleasure lit by burning candles, wax runs down the chest
Screaming in the end while creaming, gratified they rest
5. TALKING TO MY RADIO
Voices whisper, talk like angels as I turn the power on
Devils giggle, fear is cry, whole dimensions on the run
Then I lean back in my armchair, listen to the songs and words
Guess it's strange, they do not answer, time flies by, but still it hurts
And I talk to my radio about events are taking place
And I talk to my radio, sometimes it lacks a bit of grace
Count the faces, princess charming, dragons with a silver tongue
They don't hear me, they don't see me, dialogue the silent one
Bother this it doesn't me, for I got used to that before
Talk to me, you bloody bitch, acoustic mirrors work no more
Now it's silent all around me, load my gun, no time to waste
Staring 'cross the borderline, pull the trigger, no haste
Blam it goes, together with my tortured brain, it's free at last
In the end I recognise the red light flashing in the blast
6. TRUST, BELIEVE & DIE
I think there's gonna be a storm across the ocean
I think there's gonna be no shelter against the wind
Marauding gusts tear on my hair and ice is falling down
But now you can always trust in me
But now you can always trust in me
Trust in me, trust in me, trust in me, trust in me
I am the prophet in your dream I speak to you at night
My soothing voice engulfes the heart and listens to your fright
I say the things you want to hear and little is my fee
But now you must still believe in me
But now you must still believe in me
Believe in me, believe in me, believe in me, believe in me
And soon there is nothing left for you to give to me
All belongings that you owned in my hands I see
And if you're longing for a last advice, so this one is for free
But now you have got to die for me
But now you have got to die for me
Die for me, die for me, die for me, die for me
Die for me, die for me, die for me, die for me
7. SHEPHERD DEATH
Soldier of fortune, how do you dare to sleep
Metallic eyes, oceans of flames so deep
Out in the fields a herd of aimless sheep
Through heavy mist the hounds of battle creep
The dogs of war, they herd the crowd to die
And shepherd death, he plays the drum of sigh
The dogs of war, they howl in agony
And shepherd death, he has set them free
Bullets equipped with eyes and brains with powder filled
You cut their veins and boiling oil is spilled
Bones made of titan, no crush, no dashing splinter
Their heart is beating and mails a nuclear winter
Their mouth is stinking, sulphur and lead they breathe
And rape your souls, assassinating thieves
They stole your lives, a thousand years ago
Doomsday is near, so simply wait and bow
8. MARIONETTE
He is walking through the streets, across the backyard of his memories
A hole is dented in his heart, pain is lightened the most part
Out of the eternal swamp of desire, dark creatures rise higher and higher
He drowns in tears right down the vale, the mist of time a big wide sail
Please forgive me for I can't forget, don't accuse me for things I can't let
Please unwrap me from your net, then I'm your personal marionette
At night, white horses on his mind, leaving deep tracks in his soul behind
A candle infinite, light without end, although relief is close at hand
Now the air is really getting thin, he feels a gentle breeze on his skin
On top of hill he is looking 'round, at last his freedom he had found
9. THE PLAGUE
There was darkness and there was light and in between there was the dawn
Silent, very silent and unseen, on moonlights beam as told by the sage
It arrived the plague
Deep in the intergalactical ice
There's a space-ship filled with corpses of mice
It's rotting through the silent stars
The ship's body scratched all over with scars
And so far, far away, enough time to pray
And so far, very far away, the plague is going to make its way
Soon it had reached the sun
But the computer joined another fun
Next planet to reach was sol III
Simple earth it's called to me
Deep in the desert it explodes
Mice were thrown out like silent gods
The plague now rules the earth
And our lives are damned from death till birth
And so far, far away, enough time to pray
And so far, very far away, the plague has found its place to stay
10. BLACK RAIN
Lucrecia in dominion lied, mother russia nine while nine
The first last always in my bed, a vision thing was all we had
Black rain is the way to you, black rain and I'm coming, too
Black rain is the gate of hell, black rain and I wish you well
Alice and the night are going round, lipstick on my cigarette and frost they found
On the wings of 1959, the damage done, my valentine
Lucrecia in dominion lied, mother russia nine while nine
The first last always in my bed, a vision thing was all we had
Black rain is the way to you, black rain and I'm coming, too
Black rain is the gate of hell, black rain and I wish you well
Alice and the night are going round, lipstick on my Cigarette and frost they found
On the wings of 1959, the damage done, my valentine
11. NEON DREAMS
Day is night, and night is day, a sun throws light upon our way
A thousand light bulbs at the ball and neon heaven is one big hall
Plastic trees and plastic flowers growing from electricity showers
Neon stars hanging in the sky, short circuits make the grey clouds cry
Neon rain, neon dust, neon fright, neon lust
Neon waves, neon beams, neon life and neon dreams
Artificial people of one nation working in the power station
Neon eyes in standard faces, everyone's leaving neon traces
12. TOO LATE
Coming home the other night, I've been drinking too much beer
Searching for my keys, while I wish you would be here
My candle's dazzling light is longing for the streets
Just the same like years before, the nights when we meet
For years and years I wander, without an aim I stalk around
Open eyed but I can't see, my ears don't catch a sound
Although there are my friends that walk with me the streets
Just the same like years before, the nights when we meet
But now it is too late, no time to weep and cry
And I realise the good times have gone by
I tear the pages of the book my life's written within
Especially the chapters, where I could not win
But a few remain, I keep them, while I bleed
Just the same like years before, the nights when we meet
He's walking through the cemetary, where she lies and sleeps
He returns every day, the memories he keeps
Good and bad exist, since she closed her eyes in bed
Just the same like years before the nights, when they have met
13. BEHIND THE UNICORN
We run, run against the barricade, and we run against the storm
And we run, run against the odds of you, and we run behind the unicorn
And we talk, talk to all without an ear, when we talk a spoken thorn
When we talk, talk to all that cannot hear, when we talk behind the unicorn
And as we reel in the expatiated breach of the unicorn's hooves
We realise to be tiny shining nails. for each and everyone of us
Destroys the dreams and visions, presentiment and indulgence
The patience and the wrath of our future ...
When we fight, fight for you until the end, and we fight since you were born
Then we pass away though we know our life was lent, then we pass behind the unicorn
Then we pass away, pass away, pass away, pass away, pass away
