1. ONLY YOU REMAIN

You had the best of life
Your dreams they all came true
You've reached everything
Everything that man can do
You kept your promises
Never you have failed
If something was not right
Your money swept it away

You've been around this world
You've been in every place
You have seen things which
Most the people never face
Sometimes you ask yourself
Are they all really friends
Is it just your money
Will they stand by you in the end

Imagine this my friend
If world would change a bit
No money and no gold
Nothing you can buy with it
What would you do my friend
If nothing would be the same
Who will remember you
If only you remain

You can't believe the truth
Your perfect world won't break
You pull the trigger
Without a moment's hesitate

One day you'll see
There's nothing left for you to buy
And everything you own
Won't help you when you die

Imagine this my friend
If world would change a bit
No money and no gold
Nothing you can buy with it
What would you do my friend
If nothing be the same
Who will remember you
If only you remain

Why don't you try to change it
Seek a better way for you
Never try to buy a friend
Just one thing you could do

Someday you'll find the answer
For you to live your life
You will pay back your dues
Someday you'll break the ice

Imagine this my friend
If world would change a bit
No money and no gold
Nothing you can buy with it
What would you do my friend
If nothing would be the same
Who will remember you
If only you remain

You have to face it
All your money's nothing worth
Friends turn to enemies
You will get what you deserve
Maybe you don't care about
Don't give a fuck you're doin' well
Look into my gun and close your eyes
See you in Hell


2. EMPTY INSIDE

Feeling lonely in your room
Dreaming of better life for you
Waiting for the night to come
This time the nightmare will come true
You hear this voice again
Tells you the things you have to do

Never trust to anyone
You're all alone
You and your twisted mind
Never leave your friend alone
Last thing you own
You feel so empty inside

Everything's so easy
If you listen inside
Everything you needed
You will get tonight

Take what you wanna take
He said it's all right
Do what you wanna do
You're gonna win this fight

Do they all think you're insane
You try to tell them who's to blame
What you have done is not your fault
It's just the voice without a name
But when you're all alone
The voice returns it starts again

Never trust to anyone
You're all alone
You and your twisted mind
Never leave your friend alone
Last thing you own
You feel so empty inside


3. THOSE WERE BETTER DAYS

Everyday you've got the same question
You know it is a problem for you
You don't need an excuse for growing older
But memories can be so cruel

Forever you see the truth now face to face
Remember the luck in all those days

Life's getting cold and colder
But those were better days
You're growing older and older
Now those were better days

Your past is getting clear and clearer
From now on you'll remember this
What you say is not what you are thinking
Don't imitate the things you miss

For ever you see the truth now face to face
Remember the luck in all those days

Life's getting cold and colder
But those were better days
You're growing old and older
Now those were better days

Face it - you can't bring back these times
You know - this is the past

Try now - to do the best with it
Believe me - it will be a progress

It's hard compared to all the good times
It's hard to get all over this
You know those days will never get back
This is the life that's how it is for ever

Forever you see the truth now face to face
Remember the luck in all those days

Life's getting cold and colder
But those were better days
You're growing old and older
Now those were better days

Those were better days


4. JUST DOIN' MY JOB

I never ask questions I just do it right
I live my life under the law
My life is not senseless I know what to do
They told me what I'm living for

Conscience I never heard an inner voice
I'm just doin' my job
Justice I'm doin' what they've told me to do
I'm just doin' my job

I never worry never feel bad
Everything's under control
There are just the rules I have to follow
And nothing will ever be wrong

Conscience I never heard an inner voice
I'm just doin' my job
Justice I'm doin' what they've told me to do
I'm just doin' my job
Sorrows I never heard about this word
I'm just doin' my job
Useless is what I think about you
I'm just doin' my job

I never will change my opinion
The law sais what's wrong and what's right
I never will lose you're never the winner
Sometime you will break, we've got time

No chance for you, no chance for anyone
Surrender before it's too late
No chance for me or a decision
I'm doin' my job, it's my will

I never made mistakes and I never will
'Cos I've got the law on my side
I'll never worry about good and bad
My gun and my badge are my pride

Conscience I never heard an inner voice
I'm just doin' my job
Justice I'm doin' what they've told me to do
I'm just doin' my job
Sorrows I never heard about this word
I'm just doin' my job
Useless is what I think about you
I'm just doin' my job

Follow the blind
It's so easy as it seems
Forget all your mind
Come and live with us in our dream
Everything's fine
Never lose the faith in our vision
Keep your nose to the grind
Never try to make your own decisions

What happened to me
Am I still free
I never will be
What happened to me
Am I still free
I never will be

Forget all your doubts
Come to us we have the key
We know all about
Life and what it means
So many have tried
To defy the way which we are praying
Our system is right
It's a lie when they say the Earth is dying


5. NEVER AGAIN

Rainy day, a sky as grey as the sea
Sittin' here Waitin' for you to call me
Home alone as lonely as I wanted to be
But loneliness is not the only thing that I need

Ask myself what's going wrong
Just don't know where I belong

Never again
I wouldn't ever do it again
Never again
I wouldn't ever do it the same way

Ask myself what's going wrong
Just don't know where I belong

Never again
I wouldn't ever do it again
Never again
I wouldn't ever do it the same way

Not another chance for me
To live my life again
But I think it is alright
All the things I didn't say
Always took the wrong way
Now I have to pay

I see my face starrin' at me off the wall
I see my friends tryin' to catch my fall
Ask myself what's going wrong
Just don't know where I belong

Never again
I wouldn't ever do it again
Never again
I wouldn’t ever do it the same way
Never again
I wouldn't ever do it again
Never again
I wouldn’t ever do it the same way

But in the end they couldn't help me at all
And no one's there to listen my call


6. HAUNTED HOUSE/NOTHING LASTS FOREVER

Nothing lasts forever
No one knows the truth
Come and face reality
It will be better for you
Nothing lasts forever
Pain and misery
Soon it's getting better
Don't stop until you're free

Remember there are two sides
Of each and everything that you can see and you can feel
Remember day and night
Without a day the night would mean just death to you and me can’t you see

Nothing Lasts Forever
Walls Can tumble down
No one Is immortal
Rules They change somehow
Sorrows Come and go
Time Is passing by
Feelings Try to show you
Ways To live your life

Can't you stop to worry
About those things which happen just to you only you
You always try to hurry
You've got the time to wait until you're through oh you do

Nothing lasts forever
Walls can tumble down
No one is immortal Rules
They change somehow
Sorrows Come and go
Time is passing by
Feelings try to show you
Ways to live your life

Nothing lasts forever
No one knows the truth
Come and face reality
It will be better for you
Nothing lasts forever
Pain and misery
Soon it's getting better
Don't stop until you're free

Did you find your way now
Did you see the way for you and me Oh did you see
There is no solution
For those of us who only work for greed that's how it seems

Nothing lasts forever
Walls can tumble down
No one is immortal
Rules they change somehow
Sorrows Come and go
Time is passing by
Feelings try to show you
Ways to live your life

Nothing lasts forever
No one knows the truth
Come and face reality
It will better for you
Nothing lasts forever
Pain and misery
Soon it's getting better
Don't stop until your free


7. YOU'VE SEEN THE FUTURE

When they told you all the lies
About the evil enemy
You didn't doubt a single word
So you went for them to war
One single bullet broke your back
Paralysis is now your curse

Now you remember the day
When you asked out the door
You've seen this procession
Of victims and cripples of war
And you've never have seen
In your life a spastic before

You've seen you future
Right in his eyes
Why can't you turn back the time
You've seen your future
You didn't realize
Now it's too late to lie

Now you live your life in agony
You have lost your legs forever
Another victim for another senseless war
Will we ever learn to live together

When they told you all the lies
About the evil enemy
You didn't doubt a single word

Now you remember the day
When you walked out the door
You've seen the procession
Of victims and cripples of war
And you've never have seen
In your life a spastic before

You've seen your future
Right in his eyes
Why can't you turn back the time
You've seen your future
You didn't realize
Now it's too late to lie

You've seen your future
Right in his eyes
Why can't you turn back the time

You've seen your future


8. TELL ME

Why don't you fit in our system is what they pray
Cut your hair be one of us is what they say
No individuality just all the same
Show no more colours it has to be just dark and grey

Tell me people who are you to tell me what to do
Did you ever tell the truth or did you ever move
Hunger, pain and misery is what to give my friends
Who will be responsible if there will be an end

You'll never accept the way I look 'cos there's just yours
You don't try to understand my words you stop before
So don't you try to change me it's not the way for me
Don't want your system and your rules last thing I need

Tell me people who are you to tell me what to do
Did you ever tell the truth or did you ever move
Hunger, pain and misery is what you give my friends
Who will be responsible if there will be an end

Life is a mystery
You don't know about
In fact you're not living free
Why don't you break out

Life is a mystery
You cannot deny
Why don't you just listen to me
You don't even try

Tell me people who are you to tell me what to do
Did you ever tell the truth or did you ever move
Hunger, pain and misery is what you give my friends
Who will be responsible if there will be an end

Life is a mystery
You don't know about
In fact you're not living free
Why don't you break out


9. DARKEN MY MIND

You tell me my future
My fate in your eyes
Misusing my chastity
You master of disguise

When will I find an answer
You darken my mind
When will I find the exit
Into the other side

But you darken my mind
You sell the key the prize is me
My soul and all my destiny
You harvest your victims
Give'em no chance
You harvest your seed of anger
Taking command

When will I find an answer
You darken my mind
When will I find the exit
Into the other side

Why did I listen
Why did I pray
Why did I touch the evil
Now it's too late

Surrounded by darkness
Seems like I'm blind
Visions of sadness
Drive me insane

But you darken my mind
You sell the key the prize is me
My soul and all my destiny
Now you possess me
Your spirit is mine
Erased all my thoughts and memories
You're more than my guide

Never will find an answer
You darken my mind
Never will find the exit
There's no other side

I'm on the run - Knife in my hand
Now I've fulfilled your wishes
I ripped her flesh - Red dreams came true
Her blood felt like wet, warm kisses

I'm on the loose I'll get my fun
Loving the fear in their eyes
I kill for you I die for you


10. LIVING FOR THE GAMES

Everyday you watch the YV screen
You never miss a show you know what I mean
The main thing for you we know it all
Is to watch the phone and wait to call

You know it
The answer
Wrong number
Bad luck
Maybe next time

You've got no friends just you and your shows
You stay at home that's how it goes
You need nobody to feel good
Don't even know your neighbourhood

Stop - Stop living for the game
No - Don't turn the TV on don't do the same
Stop - Stop living for the games
No - Don't be a number without a name

So now it's time to turn it on
You see the prizes they have won
You'll never face reality
You'll never get the chance to win

You know it
The answer
Wrong numbers
Bad luck
Maybe next time

You are the master of all games
Know all the numbers and all the names
No one can beat you oh not you
You are the best you think it's true

Stop - Stop living for the game
No - Don't turn the TV on don't do the same
Stop - Stop living for the games
No - Don't be a number without a name

You'd give everything to win the prize
Once in your life to be the star
You know the answer sure you are the one
This is not fair the prize is gone

So now you're waiting for your time to come
They soon will see who you are
There's just the will to beat them all
Then you can proof who's the star
