1. HIGH TECH / LOW LIFE

Data spies are scanning me
Invasion of my brain
They're digging deep
They drive me mad
I think I go insane
A silent virus takes control
And puts me on the screen
My memory on empty hole
No one to hear me scream

High Tech
Low Life

I drown in information
All systems overload
Target of infiltration
Last try to break the code
A silent virus


2. METAL MACHINE MUSIC

Forget what shame is
Fear remorse and pain is
We are relentless
Anything for progress
An operation soulless
We're heartless and godless
We're synchronized and seamless
In worship of success

WHY DO WE ACT LIKE MACHINES?

METAL MACHINE MUSIC

Forget...

United we're faceless
Swalled by the masses
A mechanism flawless
Infallible and lawless
An operation soulless
We're heartless and godless
We're synchronized and seamless
In warship of success

WHY DO WE ACT LIKE MACHINES?

METAL MACHINE MUSIC

Fearless
Tearless
Heartless
For the sake of prowess
Remorseless
Painless
Shameless
In return for success

Forget...

WHY DO WE ACT LIKE MACHINES

MACHINES


3. DOPPELGANGER

We walk togetherone as one
A new existence has begun
And when I stumble he steps in
And fills the gap an evil twin

I follow you
You follow me
There's no difference to see

You get the blame
For what I do
No one believes you

Your carelessness will set me free
I will be you you will be me

I take your honour
I take your fame
All in your name
All in your name

I kiss your lover play the game
All in your name
All in your name

A dark companion on my track
A dark companion behind my back
And when I turn - he disappears
I'm left alone with nagging fears

yYour carelessness...
I take your honout...

Always on your mind
Always by your side
Always close behind

THE DOPPELGANGER

I follow you...


4. THE DAWNING OF DOOM

Back in black but no heads are turning
Back in black noone came to see
Back in black are they still yearning
Back in black for eternity

Can't escape it
Hide away from it
There's no light
At the end of the night

The dawning of doom
It was wrong to assume
Won't end the night
Ruled by your fright

Silent attack the shadows are talking
Silent attack no one can hear
Silent attack the shadows are walking
Silent attack in the night of fear

Can't escape it
Hide away from it
There's no light
At the end of the night

The dawning of doom
It was wrong to assume
Won't end the night
Ruled by your fright


5. MINISTRY OF FEAR

I walk through the ruins haunted by the past
Reminders of my fear
The memories of pain stay here to last
They will not disappear

The walls reflect the echoes of my screams
Sound goes on and on
The trial keeps recurring in my dreams
Reality has gone

No hope
Just tears
Inside the ministry
No hope
Just fears

A silent tear shed in a lonely hell
Accompanied by hate
Forgotten years spent in a prison cell
No witnesses to tell

The walls reflect the echoes of my screams
Sound goes on and on
The trial keeps recurring in my dreams
Reality has gone

No hope
Just tears
Inside the ministry
No hope
Just fears

Split personality
Forced to conformity
Destroyed by brutality
Unfit to reality
Quest for indentity

I walk through the ruins haunted by the past
Reminders of my fear
The memories of pain stay here to last
They will not disappear


6. ONE

Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you
Now you got someone to blame

You say
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
It's one love
We get to share it
It leaves you baby
If you don't care for it

Did I disappoint you ?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth ?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's too late
Tonight
To drag tha past out
Into the light
We're one
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One

Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come tor raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
We hurt each other
Then we do it again

You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt

One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other

One


7. SIMPLY SAY NO

If they say it's necesary
To be disciplined and trained
To transform their new ideas
Into history and pain
And pain...

Simply say no
Say no

If they say it's necessary
To fight in a holy war
If they say your life is needed
To protect the great ideals

Just let them feel
You disagree


8. DISCIPLES OF DISCIPLINE

There's no refuge
No place to hide
There's no disguise
To cheat the eyes

We're on your trace
Wherever you are
We track you down
We're never far

Wherever you are
We'll already be
The season has opened
For you and for me

There's no escape
No helpin' hand
All on your own
You better understand
We're on your trace...
Come along
Be a disciple of discipline


9. THE POWER

Black shirt
Black belt
Black boot
As a sign of attitude

Strong willed
Well skilled
Clear mind
Rooted in solitude

Cross the rivers
Climb the mountains
Jump the borders
You have to contribute

Destiny
The future's on our shoulders
Forever young, forever strong
There's no tomorrow

Proud look
Open heart
Cold blood
A here's attribute

The power
The power of the darkside


10. RINGS OF STEEL

3 rings to symbolize
A new direction for your life
The truth the beautiful and the good
Are the things for which we strive

No one can melt them
The rings of steel

No one can bend them
No one can break them
The rings of steel

3 rings to symbolize
A new era on the rise
Strength beauty and belief
Are the ideals to achieve

Paint the 3 rings on your flag
Burn the 3 rings into your flesh
Keep the 3 rings in your heart
Hail hail to the rings of steel
