Les paroles


1. DIFFERENT WORLD

You lead me on the path, keep showing me the way
I feel a little lost, a little strange today

I think I'll take a hold of whatever comes my way
Then we'll see what happens, take it day by day

I thought I had it all, I had it all worked out
Just what my future held, that where would be no doubt

But then the card came up and I took another turn
But I don't know if it's fulfillment that I yearn

Tell me what you can hear and then tell me what you see
Everybody has a different way to view the world
I would like you to know when you see the simple things
To appreciate this life, it's not too late to learn

Don't want to be here
Somewhere I'd rather be
But when I get there
I might find it's not for me

Tell me what you can hear and then tell me what you see
Everybody has a different way to view the world
I would like you to know when you see the simple things
To appreciate this life, it's not too late to learn

Tell me what you can hear and then tell me what you see
Everybody has a different way to view the world
I would like you to know when you see the simple things
To appreciate this life, it's not too late to learn

Don't want to be here
Somewhere I'd rather be
But when I get there
I might find it's not for me

Don't know what I want
Or where I want to be
I'm feeling more confused
The more the days go by


2. THESE COLOURS DON'T RUN

It's the same in every country when you say you're leaving
Left behind the loved ones, waiting silent in the hall
Where you're going lies adventure others only dream of
Red and green light, this is real, and so you go to war

For the passion
For the glory
For the memories
For the money
You're a soldier
For your country
What's the difference?
All the same

Far away from the land of our birth
We fly a flag in some foreign earth
We sailed away like our fathers before
These colours don't run from cold bloody war

There is no one that will save you, going down in flames
No surrender, certain death, you look it in the eye
On the shores of tyranny you crashed a human wave
Paying for my freedom with your lonely unmarked graves

For the passion
For the glory
For the memories
For the money
You're a soldier
For your country
What's the difference?
All the same

Far away from the land of our birth
We fly a flag in some foreign earth
We sailed away like our fathers before
These colours don't run from cold bloody war

Far away from the land of our birth
We fly a flag in some foreign earth
We sailed away like our fathers before
These colours don't run from cold bloody war

Far away from the land of our birth
We fly a flag in some foreign earth
We sailed away like our fathers before
These colours don't run from cold bloody war

These colours don't run from cold bloody war


3. BRIGHTER THAN A THOUSAND SUNS

We are not the sons of God
We are not his chosen people now
We have crossed the path he trod
We will feel the pain of his beginning

Shadow fingers rise above
Iron fingers stab the desert sky
Oh, behold the power of man
On its tower, ready for the fall

Knocking heads together well
Raise a city, build a living hell
Join the race to suicide
Listen for the tolling of the bell

Out of the universe, a strange love is born
Unholy union, trinity reformed

Yellow sun its evil twin
In the black the wings deliver him
We will spit our souls within
Atom seed to nuclear dust is riven

Out of the universe, a strange love is born
Unholy union, trinity reformed

Out of the Darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the Darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the Darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the Darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the Darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the Darkness, brighter than a thousand suns

Bury your morals and bury your dead
Bury your head in the sand
E=mc squared you can relate
How we made God with our hands

Whatever would Robert have said to his God
About how we made war with the sun
E=mc squared you can relate
How we made God with our hands

All nations are rising through acid veils of love and hate
Chain letters of Satan, uncertainly leads us all to this
All nations are rising through acid veils of love and hate
Cold fusion and fury

Divide and conquer while you may
Others preach and others fall and pray
In the bunkers where we'll die
There the executioners they lie

Bombers launch with no recall
Minutes warning of the missile fall
Take a look at your last sky
Guessing you won't have the time to cry

Out of the universe, a strange love is born
Unholy union, trinity reformed

Out of the Darkness
Out of the Darkness
Out of the Darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the Darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the Darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the Darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the Darkness, brighter than a thousand suns

Holy Father, we have sinned


4. THE REINCARNATION OF BENJAMIN BREEG

Let me tell you about my life, let me tell you about my dreams
Let me tell you about the things that happen always real to me

Let me tell you of my hope, of my need to reach the sky
Let me take you on an awkward journey, let me tell you why
Let me tell you why

Why should these curses be laid upon me
I won't be forgiven 'til I can break free
What did I do to deserve all this guilt
Pays for my sins with the sale of my soul
Demons are trapped all inside of my head
My hopes are gone reach for heaven from hell

My sins are many, my guilt is too heavy
The pressure of knowing, of hiding what I know
I'm able to see things, things I don't want to see
The lives of a thousand souls, weigh heavy down on me

I known they're crying for help reaching out
The burden of them will take me down as well
The sin of a thousand souls not died in vain
Reincarnate still in me live again

Someone to save me
Something to save me from myself
To bring salvation, to exorcise this hell

Someone to save me
Something to save me from myself
To bring salvation, to exorcise this hell

Someone to save me
Something to save me from my hell
A destination away from this nightmare

Someone to save me
Something to save me from myself
To bring salvation, to exorcise this hell
