1. IRRITATION

(Instrumental)


2. SOLE SURVIVOR

I got that fever
Burning my head
So many memories
No tear so shed
Burns like a fire
Who stole my aims?
My comrade fighters
Been sent astray

How could I know
What others had in mind for me?
How would they know
What measures I take?

Sole survivor
Of a kill without alert sing your feelings out
Your song remains unheard
Sole survivor

We shared like brothers
A light in the black
Totally blended
Bold and erect
But we've grown intriguers
Till it's too late
Time has brought fire
Fear, greed and hate

Now I'm cryin'
Shattered on the ground
All I find
Has died anyway

Sole survivor
Of a kill without alert sing your feelings out
Your song remains unheard
Sole survivor
Got a voice without a sound
Mean mistreaters
Took away your ground
Sole survivor

Sole survivor...


3. WHERE THE RAINS GROWS

I never looked higher
Than I could see
Never gave less
Than I have given me
The more you have taken
You turned into fakes
I finally know how
Why for heavens'sake?

Don't tell me you did not see that I cried
Don't act so deaf and blind
Don't think that is someone's made dumb to the core
He would stay like before

So I take my life
Back from where the rain grows
Die to survive
Back from where the rain grows

Now you call me liar
'Cause you are just the
"Always-have-right-
fools-majority"
I think that if someone
Starved at your side
You'd all turn your back
Won't give any dime

Don't tell me you did not see that I cried
Don't act so deaf and blind
Don't think that is someone's made sad to the core
He would stay like before

So I take my life
Back from where the rain grows
Die to survive
Back from where the rain grows

So I take my life
Back from where the rain grows
Die to survive
Back from where the rain grows
I know where the rain grows
I'm back from where the rain grows


4. WHY?

Father, it's time
Have a heart for your child who cries in pain
Not a new sign
But I strike that'll blow those fools away
Open your eyes
If you've got any you just look for too long a time
They spit on your name
Doin' everything you darnned as highest crime

They believe they could walk on the water
Playing 'god, sleep with the devils' daughter
Killed your son and might kill mine
But you don't mind

Why, Lord, why
Tell me why
In these lonely days
I'd need your answer
There's a reason why

How could you fail?
Still it's time, turn the black into the light
Why do you wait?
Do you look down and laugh at what you find?

Can't you see they are mistreating their daughters
They believe they could walk on the waters
They killed your son and might kill mine
But you don't mind

Why, Lord, why
Tell me why
In these lonely days
I'd need your answer
There's a reason why

Why, Lord, why
Tell me why
Your the only light
Forever lasting
Tell me, father, why

Why, Lord, why
Tell me why
In these lonely days
I'd need your answer
There's a reason why

Why, Lord, why
Tell me why
Your the only light
Forever lasting
Tell me, father, why

Father, it's time
Father, it's time...


5. MR. EGO (TAKE ME DOWN)

Take me down
To the ground
Just let me feel it
If I let someone down
Please welcome
Him on the losing side
I shake you off
And make my choice
Don't wanna hear you
Your slimy voice
Please go down, please
I don't wanna feel you around me

Take me down to a higher ground
To survive your mindless sound
If you know all the people
Why are you alone?
If you know all the people
You'll be goin' down

I feel that man
On my back
Don't promise any crap
Someone will break your neck
You don't know how
To soak my soul
Let me out
Let me go
Open your eyes
You told nothing but lies
Please go down, please
C'mon, go down with your ego

Take me down to a higher ground
To survive your mindless sound
If you know all the people
Why are you alone?
If you know all the people
You'll be goin' down
Let me go ahead, let me go

I will find an explanation
Where's my only destination

Separated ways now and forever
Is the only and only measure
Tales full of exaggerations
No more manipulations
And I think you are not funny
Your brain is just a bloated dummy

Take me down to a higher ground
To survive your mindless sound
If you know all the people
Why are you alone?
If you know all the people
You'll be goin' down


6. PERFECT GENTLEMAN

There is no doubt about it
I'm one of kind, baby
I am le d'Artagnan de coeur
As you may see, candy

And I'm talking with my eyes
And I walk in different styles
I'm the genuine man!

Yes I am
I am a perfect gentleman
Yes I am
I am a perfect gentleman

Kneel down, inhale my odor
Come, kiss my hand, angel
Dare to explore my higher grounds
Strive to deserve me, ma cherie
And my winds surpass perfume

I'm charismatic at fool bloom,
I'm the genuine man

Yes I am
I am a perfect gentleman
Yes I am
I am a perfect gentleman
Yes I am, I am, yes I am
(perfect)

Oh, Lord, what can I do?
I can't resist my own reflection
How would possibly anyone?

Cause I am (perfect)
Yes I am (perfect)
Oh, Lord, I am (perfect)
Yes I am
I am a perfect gentleman
Yes I am
I am a perfect gentleman


7. THE GAME IS ON

Have you seen this little toy
When you're down it gives you joy
You escape reality
Delve into its TV screen
For the rich and for the poor
For the even more secure
Doesn't matter where you are,
Where you go or when you been
Well, there's still no guarantee
For your virgin mind, you see
Just go on and play the game
You will surely go insane

The game is on
And you have gone
Gone to a world on its display
And the game is fun
But when it has won
All you ever hear is what it says

There's a great amount of fumes
Coming out from somebody's room
The firemen got there
Walking their way up the stairs
Find a man in a chair
But it doesn't seem he's there
With a grey box in his hands
He has gone to another land

The game is on
And you have gone
Gone to a world on its display
And the game is fun
But when it has won
All you ever hear is what it says

You have played it much too long
Now your senses get things strong
All your walls come crashing down
Now it's time for you to frown
How d'you like this heavy load?
Guess your brain will soon explode
You never had this ugly feel
It's time to dial an emergency


8. SECRET ALIBI

Piece by piece you're tearin' me apart
Give to me and try another start
Brick by brick you really love this game
Things from which I can't refrain

So many stories have been told
I give a damn, they're much too old
How often will we face the end of our dreams?
When will I see it all come true?
A splendid time for me and you
Can we expect it bein' nice as it seems?

Will you be my secret alibi
Angel of my nights
Can we do it right?
Let's just try each others love so sweet
Till we can't deny my secret alibi

Ding by ding can you dig my dong
It may come short but it might come long
Limb by limb you're climbing on my tree
Making things more fun for me

So many stories I've been told
I give a damn, they're much too old
How often will we face the end of our dreams?
When will I see it all come true?
A splendid time for me and you
Can we expect it being nice as it seems?

Will you be my secret alibi
Angel of my nights
Can we do it right?
Let's just try each others love so sweet
Till we can't deny my secret alibi

Will you be my secret alibi
Angel of my nights
Can we do it right?
Let's just try each others love so sweet
Till we can't deny my secret alibi


9. TAKE ME HOME

Now I'm here all alone
Takin' care of my own
Down in no man's land
Got no friend, got no dime
Only plenty of time
Where's the saving hand?

I got that feeling to need more and more attention
That is the fever, don't leave me alone
I got that feeling to make more than conversation
That is the fever, where's my home?

Take me home
Take me home
Take me home

It's not true - what you see
Behind that mask that's not me
Try to reach my world
Can't you see I'm so blind
Stay with me to change my mind
No more nightmares, girl

I got that feeling to need more and more attention
That is the fever, don't leave me alone
I got that feeling to make more than conversation
That is the fever, where's my home?

Take me home
Take me home
Take me home

I got that feeling to need more and more attention
That is the fever, don't leave me alone
I got that feeling to make more than conversation
That is the fever, where's my home?

Take me home
Take me home
Take me home


10. IN THE MIDDLE OF A HEARTBEAT

Tell me, pretty girl, do you know who I am?
Have you ever seen me as your friend?
Anything we have is those hungry nights
But there's so much left unsatisfied
All those little things you told me
Ain't good enough to show me
That we're gonna make it through the time

I found out
In the middle of a heartbeat
And I know that I'm doin' right
Together we are still so far apart
I found out
In the middle of a heartbeat
And the more I try to be your light
I can't get any closer to your heart

Now that I'm afraid just to ask for more
I'm still waiting as I did before
If you only said that it's not too late
We could then rely upon our fate
All those little things you'd tell me
Could bear enough to show me
That we're gonna make it through the time

I found out
In the middle of a heartbeat
And I know that I'm tellin' right
Together we are still so far apart
I found out
In the middle of a heartbeat
And the more I try to be your light
I can't get any closer to your heart

I found out
I found out
I found out
In the middle of a heartbeat
And I know that I'm tellin' right
Together we are still so far apart
I found out
In the middle of a heartbeat
And the more I try to br your light
I can't get any closer to your heart


11. STILL WE GO

In the beginning
Out of nowhere
We had a dream
And Now It's Helloween

Speed up to a higher limit
Change gear, we're losin' our spirit
We won't take your special advice
We are close to a metal breakdown
Sirens to warn of our meltdown
We couldn't see that headline

Now we can see a horizon
We're gonna be here to stay
If you cannot see our sign
You must be blind

Still we go
Still we go
Still we go
On the metal highway
Still we go

Warn out, won't die on our knees
Shine on, proud as we can be
Time has come to stop pleasing you
Hey man, Let's get it together
Our strength will last forever
Push us as far as we can go

Now we can see a horizon
We're gonna be here to stay
If you cannot see our sign
You must be blind

Still we go
Still we go
Still we go
On the metal highway
Still we go

How many times must a man cross the lines
To find his right way

Still we go
Still we go
Still we go
On the metal highway
Still we go

12. I STOLE YOUR (KISS COVER)

Alright
I remember the day that we met
I needed someone you needed someone too
Spent time taking all you could get
Even yourself was one thing you never could do
You played with my heart
You played with my head
I've got to laugh when I think all things you said

Cause I stole your love
Stole your love
Ain't never going to let you go
I stole your love
Stole your love

You never stop running around
You pick me up and say you want some of me
Down
You were the girl that nobody could own
You stay for a while and then you would leave me alone
But I'm something different - ain't like the rest
How does it feel to find out your failing your test

Cause I stole your love
Stole your love
Ain't never going to let you go
I stole your love
Stole your love

Guitar!

Listen!
Cause I stole your love
Stole your love
Ain't never going to let you go
I stole your love
Stole your love

I stole your love
Stole your love
Stole your love
Come on
I stole your love

Star invasion
Praise the Lord they're gone
Mere pollution
Cleaning up's no fun

First touch with a different kind

12. GRAPOWSKI'S MALMSUITE 1001 (IN D-DDLL)

(Instrumental)


13. COLD SWEAT (THIN LIZZY COVER)

I put my money in the suitcase
And headed for the big race
I felt a chill on my backbone
As I hung up the telephone

Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat
Running down the back of my neck
To lose means trouble, to win pays double
And I got me a heavy bet

Cold, cold sweat

They say chances on the outside
Are looking very slim
I've been so lucky on the inside
I feel I'm going to win

Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat
Running down the back of my neck
Take a little money, there's nothing left to lose
And I got me a heavy bet

Cold, cold sweat

I've got me a whole month's wages
I haven't seen that much in ages
I might spend it in stages
And move out to Las Vegas

Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat
Running down the back of my neck
To lose means trouble, to win means double
And I got me a heavy bet

Cold, cold sweat

I put my money in the suitcase
They say chances on the outside
I got a whole months wages

Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat
Stone cold crazy
Place another bet


14. CAN'T FIGHT YOUR DESIRE

He's got the woman
Out Of Your Dreams
You'll never find out
What it all means
But you've got patience
And still believe
That you'll be there
When she will leave

Someone will lose
Somebody's finding
Somebody smiles
Somebody's crying

Can't fight
You can't fight your desire
You can't fight your dreams, yeah
You can't fight your desire
Hold on to your dreams, yeah

So listen hard now
Man you should know
If you're just waiting
Your doubts will grow
You self-believe

Already small
Get up now
You can have it all

Someone will lose
Somebody's finding
Somebody smiles
Somebody's crying

Can't fight
You can't fight your desire
You can't fight your dreams, yeah
Can't fight
You can't fight your desire
Hold on to your dreams, yeah

Someone will lose
Somebody's finding
Somebody smiles
Somebody's crying

You can't fight your dreams, yeah
Can't fight
You can't fight your desire
Hold on to your dreams, yeah

16. SILICON DREAMS

Daily in the news and on the screen
They wanna show you how to look like
How to be a star
But if you bignosed without muscles
You are not attractive
You don't fit in what's so popular
Four pounds too much without a suntang
Selfrespect is fading
They already tooked away your pride
California dreamgirl with her brain down in her pussy
You will never reach her you're too small

Wake up all you idiots don't close your eyes
And see there is only one thing you can be
This is just you and nothing else
Start to believe all in yourself
Stop to running after visions you don't need

Who is in the mirror
Do you really trust this face
Smiles at you so bad and ugly
This is not yourself anymore
Will a soul feel well in plastic bodies
Where it don't belong
Silicon and lifted faces
Don't you really know who you are

Don't try to hide
If you don't look like Monroe
The smile on your face this is real
Just be yourself that's the deal

California dreamman
With a smile made out of plastic
Juicy woman dreams that you can buy
Selling you a dream so far away
And so fantastic until you realise you won't get high

Now you're close to suicide
Your dream bursts like a bubble
All the gossip you once liked is gone
Your addiction to be skinny is driving you to madness
I hope now you can see what you have done


17. STAR INVASION

There he's sitting in his cockpit
Out on guard, ten thousand miles from home
Lookin' through his little window
Earth appears as God's blue magic dome

Just a little bit disturbing
Are those coloured spaceships
Closing in

Star Invasion
From behind the sun
Destination
Straight into his face

Seven years they taugh and told him
What to do and how to act right now
He would have to push a button
In his panic he just don't know how
Seems like there's no red alert no more
And so that squirrel wasn't there before

Star invasion
From behind the sun
Complication
Say what can be done?

Near to a thousand-eight squirrels beam aboard and say hello
Puke and shit his control board,
Dematerialize and steer their ships
Away from earth
