1. CROSSFIRE

Gunshots fill the air salute our bliss
Night bursts into flames greets the final kiss
Death comes without a sound rings the wedding bell
Target hits the ground honeymoon in hell

Shot - shot by both sides
In a war that won't cease
They gave their lives
Unheard cry for peace

Crossfire

Cities under siege where the snipers strike
Lovers out of reach yearning in the night
Take your lover's hand meet your destiny
Down in no one's land for eternity

Shot - shot by both sides
In a war that won't cease
They gave their lives
Unheard cry for peace

Gunshots fill the air salute our bliss
Night bursts into flames greets the final kiss
Death comes without a sound rings the wedding bell
Target hits the ground honeymoon in hell

Shot - shot by both sides
In a war that won't cease
They gave their lives
Unheard cry for peace

Crossfire

Shot by both sides
In a war that won't cease
They gave their lives
Unheard cry for peace

Crossfire - Crossfire

3. BLOODSUCKERS

Bloodsuckers you suck out the oil
For the salt of the earth you ravage the soil

Strip mining mountains you gauge out the face
You suffocate life in an asphalt membrane

Don't eat your own heart
'cause you can never win

Bloodsuckers you steel from the earth
You'll kill for the riches and decide what it's worth

Bloodsuckers got your values out of whack
You've been selling your soul for a greenback stack

Don't eat your own heart
'cause you can never win

'cause you can never win
'cause you can never win

Bloodsuckers you suck out the oil
For the salt of the earth you ravage the soil

Strip mining mountains you gauge out the face
You suffocate life in an asphalt membrane

Don't eat your own heart


4. FATHERLAND

I see houses burning
I'm ashamed
Before you close your eyes denyingly
You'd better ask yourself

Did I choose something I could regret
Did I do something I should regret

Is this the place I used to call Fatherland
Is this the place I used to know as Fatherland

The silence is illusion
Stay awake
I hear children crying in fear and pain
Do cowards ask themselves

Did I choose something I could regret
Did I do something I should regret

Is this the place I used to call Fatherland
Is this the place I used to know as Fatherland

Did I choose something I could regret
Did I do something I should regret

Is this the place I used to call Fatherland
Is this the place I used to know as Fatherland
Is this the place I used to call Fatherland
Is this the place I used to know as Fatherland

Fatherland - Fatherland
Fatherland - Fatherland
Fatherland - Fatherland
Fatherland - Fatherland


5. TO THE HILT

Woke up still in a dream
Nothing's the same can't pronounce my name
I open my mouth words come out
That make no sense for a stranger's ear

In a foreign language in a foreign land
Now I'm an alien on a different planet
It makes it clear I understand
We are all strangers in a foreign land

Burn the bridges - forge ahead - to the hilt

Back home I feel insane
Nothing's the same except for my name
I open my mouth words come out
That make no sense for my lover's ear

In my native language in my native land
I'm still the alien on a different planet
It makes it clear I understand
I am a stranger in my own land

Burn the bridges - forge ahead - to the hilt

To the hilt - to the hilt

Burn the bridges - forge ahead - to the hilt

To the hilt - to the hilt
To the hilt - to the hilt

Woke up still in a dream
Nothing's the same can't pronounce my name
I open my mouth words come out
That make no sense for a stranger's ear

In a foreign language in a foreign land
Now I'm an alien on a different planet
It makes it clear I understand
We are all strangers in a foreign land

Burn the bridges - forge ahead - to the hilt

To the hilt - to the hilt
To the hilt - to the hilt
To the hilt - to the hilt
To the hilt - to the hilt

7. INSIDE OUT

What happened to my life
What happened to my pride
I'm a victim of your love
I can't cope with this world no longer

You have my fate in your hands
I'm on the verge of self destruction
I don't see a way out
If this was your intention
To turn me inside out

Inside out

What's the reason of my life
There's no pleasure in my heart
Now I'm disillusioned
And I had so much more in mind

You have my fate in your hands
I'm on the verge of self destruction
I don't see a way out
If this was your intention
To turn me inside out

Inside out

I'm on the verge of self destruction
I don't see a way out
If this was your intention
To turn me inside out

Inside out


8. PARADISE OF SIN

In-a-gadda-da-vida baby
God is dead he lost the battle
The devil rules over life and death
Feel his power feel his wrath

Hell - this is the paradise of sin
Fail - and you will suffer in pain
Nail - that son of desaster
Sell - your soul to the master

In the garden of evil baby
The bible's title is helter skelter
Take a ride on this rollercoaster
Live for sin and die faster

Wake - your evil twin
Live - your wildest dream
Let - the demons in
Let - the madness begin

In-a-gadda-da-vida baby
God is dead he lost the battle
The devil rules over life and death
Feel his power feel his wrath

Hell - this is the paradise of sin
Fail - and you will suffer in pain
Nail - that son of desaster
Sell - your soul to the master


9. WORST CASE SCENARIO

What is happening to me no one could foresee
I was living on the edge of catastrophe
Thrown off the system nailed and bare
Fish out of water jumping for air
Stranded with no help outlawed and shunned
Luck turned against me thousand to one
Some call it fate what's my reality
World allied against me fatal conspiracy

I can't take it - I can't take it
I can't take it no more
I can't take it - I can't take it
I can't take it no more

Worst case scenario
Worst case scenario

In the elevator to heaven I'm stuck
On the lowest level run out of luck
A downward spiral is sucking me in
My plans for the future a case for the bin
No glimmering hope brightens my night
At the end of the tunnel there is no light
Some call it fate what's my reality
World allied against me fatal conspiracy

I can't take it - I can't take it
I can't take it no more
I can't take it - I can't take it
I can't take it no more

Worst case scenario
Worst case scenario

I can't take it - I can't take it
I can't take it no more
I can't take it - I can't take it
I can't take it no more
I can't take it - I can't take it
I can't take it no more
I can't take it - I can't take it
I can't take it no more

Worst case scenario

10. SHELLSHOCKED

Like a hermit unfounded
Solitary but proud
I was hiding behind fences
Shutting myself out

Crossed my arm disarmed
Loss of self-defence
Wouldn't fight off haunting memories
Crimes without a sense

Without a sense

Closed my eyes blind folded
Images of hell
Caught inside a vicious circle
Retired in my shell

Shut my mouth lips sealed
There's no need to tell
Wouldn't share with you the secret
That could break the shell

Shellshocked - no escape from dreaming - shellshocked
Shellshocked - there's no escape from dreaming - shellshocked

Like a hermit unfounded
Solitary but proud
I was hiding behind fences
Shutting myself out

Crossed my arm disarmed
Loss of self-defence
Wouldn't fight off haunting memories
Crimes without a sense

Shellshocked - no escape from dreaming - shellshocked
Shellshocked - there's no escape from dreaming - shellshocked


11. NEW TEMPTATION

From me to you from you to me
Speaking flows and thinking seems free
From me to you from class to class
Speaking ways differ and chances pass
Different speech makes different minds
Separation into different kinds
Words do express words do possess
The power of temptation supporting success

There is new creation in mind
There is new temptation in mind
There is new creation in mind
There is new temptation in mind

Words can distort words can deceive
Brought to perfection they change belief
Words can control first thoughts then soul
Help to prepare for the final goal
A nation did rise a nation did fall
A leader created new ideals for all
There was a word there was an idea
There was a belief that thinking is free

There is new creation in mind
There is new temptation in mind
There is new creation in mind
There is new temptation in mind
