1. Welcome

[Instrumental]

2. LUST FOR LIFE

Comin' out of misery,
back to the old energy,
takin' part in our daily show.
Think of what has been before,
made a move and slammed the door.
Future will remain in the unknown.

Face the face of the race, try to understand.
Why are we here and what do we want,
The answer is easy, let's spread it around.

Loud and proud, we're gonna say it now,
Live-Life-Easy

Many things to think about,
bring me up or bring me down
A lot of things I hardly understand.
What is good and what is fair,
problems solved, but I don't care
Sometimes it's just getting out of hand.

Face the face of the race, try to understand.
I know that you know that we can be strong
If we pull together, we can get along

Let us fly away, let us praise the days
When the lust for the life is stronger than the fear.
Though we shiver and shake and we sometimes need a break.
It's the lust for life that never disappears.


3. HEAVEN CAN WAIT

Too many people, too much trouble,
too many problems in the morn.
Anpther sunrise in the rubble,
another ship sunk by the storm.
Some little angel tries to tell me that it's over.
It's just a bad reflection from above.
The load upon my shoulder makes me stronger, even bolder.
Oh no no, I haven't had enough.

Heaven can wait, 'til another day.
Cause there ain't no reason to leave.
The world is a stage where we all can play.
Another fine reason to live,
and heaven can wait, heaven can wait.

Each day a new reason to give up,
each day another reason to sigh.
A hundred thousand ways to live up,
a hundred thousan ways to try.
Hey, little angel, don't you tell me that it's over.
You're just a bad reflection from above.
The load upon my shoulder gives me reasons to get older.
Tell the boss I haven't had enough.

Our eyes are close but they should be open wide
Let's listen to the voice that's calling from inside.
Let's stay alive and move on, on our way
And heaven can wait, heaven can wait.
Heaven - can wait 'til another day.


4. SPACE EATER

You know who I am, show you a land
Where you can be free, can get your relief.
Space is all yours, desires come true.
Love of your life waitin' for you.

I got no time for wasting all my day,
Come on and follow, follow me away.
Spaceeater - you're losing control
Spaceeater - and I own your soul

I'll make you happy ain't no lie,
Come eat my space, you're gonna fly.
Let me control your senses,
And lose your mind, your worries inside.

A little bit, a little bit,
You're drowning in a lustry whirl,
be superman or wondergirl.
Oh, we fly away on supersonic dreams,
we ride on universal starshine,
Through space.
I got no time to stand and waste my day.
Come on and follow, follow me away,
Spaceeater


5. MONEY

I don't need no money, I will stuck to my ideals.
You better get some money, you better get yourself a deal.
I won't change my habits and throw it all away.
No, no, you better keep it all together for another day.

Money - uh, yeah
It only makes me sick and makes the people turn to fools.
It only gives you power and power makes the rules.
Don't wanna be an asshole that sits on dollar bills.
Ha, ha, ha, I know you'll take it no matter how you feel.

Money - uh, yeah.
Nothing will get for free, illusion or reality,
The mirror of your dreams is made of cash.
It drives me wild and drives me crazy,
Makes me fat, and makes me lazy.

Anything you want, anything you need
If I had a little money I would feel okay.

It is money that rules the world,
it is money that lights the day.
It is money that makes it work,
it is money that makes you live!

Money, money, money, money
Give me money -everybody wants some.
Everybody needs some.
I want more, you want more, we want more, they want more.
Nothing you will get for free, illusion or reality.


6. THE SILENCE

When you're drowning,
when you're freezin',
when you're feeling cold
There's a light in the darkness
as the elder always told.
When the winter's coming closer
and the autumn's passing by,
Then the world will sink in slience
and I think we all should try.
Oh, I wanna live my life in a fairy tale
Where the end is always good and never sad.
Show me the way to another world
Where the sun is always shining in the and
And we fight back the tears, and we lose our fears,
Let the world remain in silence for a while
Sun in our minds in a world full of ice,
Let silence remain for a little while.

Somebody came and slammed the door,
took the feelin' away from our hearts.
And the horror took hold of a place
in our hearts filled with love.

What is left behind the ice,
behind the make up and the lies
Tell me what goes on inside our minds,
There is a hole in our sky,
getting bigger, growing wide
No more answer, but we hold the line
See and hear what we have done to us all,
we wanna be free more than anything,
Do you hear what I say to you?
We will make it through, the sun shall shine.

Hear the words we say and see the light of day
We never will be free until the sun is shining for us all
Carry on, carry on and make our dreams come true
And for a little while we stay together
Carry on, carry on, may all our lovin' stay
And for a little while we stay together, forever
Together, forever.


7. HOLD YOUR GROUND

Come to plague me, rape and take me
Freeze me up, freeze me up.
Politician, inquisition freeze 'em up.
Freeze 'em up, freeze 'em up.

They're closing in, the iron round.
They hold the share in hand.
To strangulate your way to live,
The norm always wins in the end.

Hold your ground, or tomorrow it will be taken,
Hold your ground, or tomorrow it will be taken.
Tomorrow it will be taken.

Law and order, wall and border,
Freeze me up, freeze me up.
Automatic, democratics, freeze 'em up.
Freeze 'em up, freeze 'em up.

No parole on your housewall,
So nice and clean - our land.
And though they crash the hammer down
Resistance lives on in the end.

They sneak around, they spy your mind
Your unborn child's a number on their way into the grey.

Insanity, they steal your dreams.
They promise everything but they betray
Day after day.


8. FREE TIME

The weekend comes, I'm gonna see my baby.
I close the door and leave everything behind
I hit the road, the sun is shining down so brightly
Five more miles and I'm lying in her arms.

Now her motions turn me on, and I'm gonna sing my song.
Free time is one of the things that I love,
Free time is one of the things I enjoy.

The sun goes down, we're gonna see a movie.
How happy life could be without any work.
There ain't no doubt we're gonna have a party.
'Til Monday morning, noone can disturb.


9. HEADING FOR TOMORROW

We are heading for tomorrow
But we don't know if we're near!
Well, we back of still abhorrow
Well, we ever loose the fear!

Time has passed in the modern world
Where the madmen live and speak their word.
Life in hand they deal with god
Put a trademark sign up on everyone.

God bless the children, freedom is their word.
Freedom, freedom 'til they learn to obey.
Here come the liars, reason is their name.
Reason, reason, play a silly game.
Where will the children go tomorrow?

Is anybody there to claim
That he understands our human game?
We can make a prophecy,
Oh we can't say what is going to be.

Where are we going, and what is our aim?
Freedom, freedom locked inside our brains
So many answers, reason is their name,
Reason, reason, questions will remain
Where will the children go tomorrow?

(Longing for the future... we never look back
We're heading for tomorrow... we look straight ahead
Where will the children go tomorrow... tomorrow...
Where will the children go tomorrow... tomorrow...)

(There is a light
Uh, I can see a light
Yeah, I can see a light
Oooh, can you see the light?
It's shinig for tomorrow
Tomorrow... tomorrow... tomorrow)

Hey you, hey you, hey you
Hey you, where do you go? - Heading for tomorrow
Hey you, hey you, hey you
Hey you, where do you go? - Heading for my life

Hey you, where do you go? - Heading for tomorrow
Hey you, where do you go? - Heading for my life
Hey you, where do you go? - Heading for tomorrow
Hey you, where do you go!

When we are born, tell me what is our aim?
And what will be when society fails?
We are heading for tomorrow, we don't know if we are near.

When we are gone, tell me what will remain?
And what will be when society fails?

We are heading for tomorrow but we don't know if we're near!


10. LOOK AT YOURSELF

[Originally performed by Uriah Heep]

I see you running
Don't know what you're running from
Nobody's coming
What d'you do that was so wrong
Look back and turn back, look at yourself
Don't be afraid just look at yourself
If you need assistance
Or if all you need is love
There's no point in hidin
Tell me what you're frightened of
You've got a friend, just look at yourself
Don't be afraid, just look at yourself
Look back and turn back, look at yourself
Don't be afraid, just look at yourself

11. Mr. Outlaw

Innocent imprisoned the guilty got away
Got no chance to prove that I'm the wrong one
Got a bad position justice seems to fail
I don't even know what I have done

It was a case of the wrong time and place
The camera was pointing at me
Somebody else was just hiding his face
And they started searching for me

How does it feel Mr. Outlaw?
I never believed this could be
I have to walk through the outdoor
and search for my right to be free

I believed that justice would never go astray
Never thought the system could be wrong
I have done my duty every single day
There's nothing left for me now to rely on

It was a dawn when they came to my house
takin' me under arrest
They wouldn't listen I tried to explain an error
got me in that mess

How does it feel Mr. Outlaw?
I never believed this could be
I have to walk through the outdoor
and search for my right to be free

It was a case of the wrong time and place
The camera was pointing at me
Somebody else was just hiding his face
and they started searching for me

How does it feel Mr. Outlaw?
I never believed this could be
I have to walk through the outdoor
and search for my right to be free

12. Lonesome Stranger

[the words before music:]
Let's make it about metal this time
Which metal band do you support?
Death Devil!
[spits] Death Devil can't play to save their lives amigo
Yeah agreed
Well, then I don't agree. I think they can play.
They just need a new manager.
Yeah.
Well, anyways, you're going to die.

13. Sail On

I see your picture, laughter from yesterday
Silence all around me, except the voice from the TV
And I still can't believe it's over
But time will heal all wounds I know

We sail on to dreamland, we'll meet there one day
We share our feelings, we'll be okay

Staring out the windows, dreaming of the past
The good times and the bad times, they are here to last
And I hope it's getting better
Cause time will heal all wounds, I know

We sail on to dreamland, we'll meet there one day
We share our feelings, we'll be okay
One day

Headache in the morning from wasted nights before
Welcome to the real world, knocking at the door
And I believe it's getting better
And there's one thing that I do know
