Lyrics

1. UNDER THE SAME SUN

I saw the morning
It was shattered by a gun

Heard a scream, saw him fall, no one cried
I saw a mother

She was praying for her son
Bring him back, let him live, don't let him die

Do you ever ask yourself
Is there a heaven in the sky
Why can't we get it right

'Cause we all live under the same sun
We all walk under the same moon
Then why, why can't we live as one

I saw the evening
Fading shadows one by one

We watch the lamb, lay down to the sacrifice
I saw the children

The children of the sun
How they wept, how they bled, how they died

Do you ever ask yourself
Is there a heaven in the sky
Why can't we stop the fight

'cause we all live under the same sun
We all walk under the same moon
Then why, why can't we live as one

Sometimes i think i'm going mad
We're loosing all we had and no one seems to care

But in my heart it doesn't change
We've got to rearrange and bring our world some love

And does it really matter
If there's a heaven up above
We sure could use some love

'cause we all live under the same sun
We all walk under the same moon

Then why, why can't we live as one
'cause we all live under the same sky

We all look up at the same stars
Then why, tell me why can't we live as one


2. SHIP OF FOOLS

Another bloody monday
Thirty-nine just died

All hell breaks loose in the crowd
A hopeless helter skelter

Another mindless crime
Some corner of the world is burning down

Heading for a nervous breakdown
Can't take it anymore

I see the fear explode just like
A thousant nights before

The ship of fools
Keeps on rollin' through a deadly storm

It won't take long 'till we collide
The ship of fools

Keeps on following the siren's call
Damned to be sacrificed

Corrupt politicians
Promise paradise

The thieves are reaching out for the crown
Violence is a killer

Threatens all our lives
Judgment day has come here and now

Heading for a nervous breakdown
Can't take it anymore

I see the fear explode just like
A thousant nights before

The ship of fools
Keeps on rollin' through a deadly storm

It won't take long 'till we collide
The ship of fools

Keeps on following the siren's call
Damned to be sacrificed

Heading for a nervous breakdown
Can't take it anymore

I see the fear explode just like
A thousant nights before

The ship of fools
Keeps on rollin' through a deadly storm

It won't take long 'till we collide
The ship of fools

Keeps on following the siren's call
Damned to be sacrificed

The ship of fools
Keeps on rollin' through a deadly storm

It won't take long 'till we collide
The ship of fools

Keeps on following the siren's call
Damned to be sacrificed
