Lyrics


1. MODERN DAY PARADISE

It's written on the millions of faces
It's written oh so very clear
We are the plague of modern ages
We sell the violence and the fear

We're going down, my friend
We're all about to fall

Welcome to the unwanted future
Now we all see, nothing has changed
Can you hear the sounds of revolution?
As we blow ourselves away
As we blow ourselves away

You are the one who makes a difference
You are the voice in the faceless crowd
With all this apathy and hatred
We are poisoning this whole world

And no one knows where we are living in
Modern day paradise or Hell?
And all these things just paralyze me
Somebody save us from ourselves?


2. SOMETHING TO FIGHT FOR

I see the fear in your eyes
You are afraid of your life
You fear you won't stay alive
And then one day you are wondering why
Why did you waste your days
Why did you paint them grey
Although there could have been so much more to see

There must be something to fight for
There must be a meaning for this all

You stand outside in the line
Just waiting for your time
But your time will never come
You've got too many ways how to fail
Outside the world seems so grey
You close your eyes and just wait
Wait for someone to take you out of this place

There must be something to fight for
There must be a meaning for this all

There must be something to die for
There must be a way out of this all


3. THE ROAD

I - I feel so cold
This breeze of the coldest wind hurts my bones
My son you are the one who keeps me awake
And sane in this world long gone

We walk alone
We walk alone into the greatest unknown
Leaving behind everything we know
In this road we walk

You - you give me hope to stay alive, hope to survive
My son, please keep this in your mind
This is the only world that you've ever known

We walk alone
We walk alone into the greatest unknown
Leaving behind everything we know
In this road we walk

So far from home
We lost it all, we walk together alone
There ain't no life and there ain't no hope
In this road we walk

And I - I see the light behind your eyes and in your soul
And I - I hope we die before we reach the end, the end of this walk


4. FUCK YOU ALL AND DIE

Fuck you all and die! Fuck you all and die!
We don't want you, we don't want you
To fuck up our minds, to fuck up our minds
We won't be fooled, we won't be fooled

I wanna see you rot in peace with all your lies
I wanna watch you taking last breaths of your lives
Cause all the lies you're telling us and all the shit you do
Bad karma will get you in the end, it will get you in the end

Hypocrites and thieves, they lead this world
Don't be their whore
Don't bend down on their feet
Diabolic, faceless idiots, who made up all these wars
Don't let them steal your dreams

I could be much worse, I could be much worse
I could be you, I could be you
But I won't be your whore, i won't be your whore
And follow your rules, follow your rules

Don't let them break you down
Don't let them steal your life away
Don't bend down on their feet
Don't let them drag you down
No, no, no, not in any name!
Don't bend down on their feet


5. WORLD LONG GONE

This place is getting darker day by day
Year by year it's getting so much harder to feel sane
To feel whole again
I'm not a sinner, not a saint
I'm just a broken man who doesn't feel anger or pain

Wake up, now it's time to change your ways
To make a difference
And just to forget about the shame that you've been taught to feel
That you've been taught to carry on
On and on and on
Until you know that they're all wrong

What really keeps you going on?
What makes you say that this is nothing what I did ask for?
What really keeps you keeping on?
What makes you sing those songs about this world that is long gone?
Singing songs about this world that is long gone

So raise your red flag right up in the air
And see that no one cares
They're all just selfish millionaires
Making you feel fear
Making you feel lonely despair
They won't let you decide what to do with your life

What really keeps you going on?
What makes you say that this is nothing what I did ask for?
What really keeps you keeping on?
What makes you sing those songs about this world that is long gone?
Singing songs about this world that is long gone

Keep it burning and keep it alive
Show that your heart is not willing to die
Show that your heart is willing to fight
Keep it shining and keep it alive
Show that your soul is not willing to die
Show that your life is not just a lie
Keep it burning and keep it alive
Show that your heart is not willing to die
Show that your heart is willing to fight


6. WAKE UP FROM THE DEAD

Meanness, greed and hate are the most common diseases of today
We are all just insane
All singing along the tunes of the end of our days

Is there hope? Is there life?
It's times like these you need to open up your eyes
Time to wake up from the dead
Don't believe in their lies
It's times like these you need to make up your own mind
Time to wake up from the dead

There's hope only for the ones who've been born
Born into this world with a heart casted in stone
There's no road that will lead us to the grace
We're not worth the blood that is running in our veins

Wake up from the dead until you
Wake up from the dead until you
Wake up from the dead until you die
You're gonna die


7. PRELUDE TO THE END

We're walking here where destruction walks behind
We're living here where dying is your only life
So you put your hopes around this rope
This time we nee to let go

Goodbye you all, we leave behind this faceless world
That's full of nothingness, so full of pain and hurt
What is that sadness behind your eyes?
This time we need to die

Take me to the place where I can truly rest myself
To your everlasting arms, out of the dark inside of this Hell
Cause I can't take this any longer
My time is getting so much shorter


8. PARANOID

Can you tell me what the Hell is wrong with me?
I've become myself my worst enemy
I'm paranoid, I'm schizophrenic, just a fucking creep!
Can you help me to stand on my own two feet?

I'm not getting better
No I don't feel the same

Something in my head makes me feel so comfortably dead, oh yeah!

Can you tell me what the hell you even care?
Just go away and leave me lying in my bed
Those white and padded walls are my new best friends
Straitjacket is my security and those pills my defense

I'm not getting better
I think I've gone insane

Something in my head makes me feel so comfortably dead, oh yeah!
Something on my mind makes wanna lose all this tired life
Cause there's nothing left inside

I ain't gonna be the same again, I ain't gonna be sane
In my private Hell I will be safe
So don't come knocking at my door

Something in my head makes me feel so comfortably dead, oh yeah!
Something on my mind makes wanna lose all this fuckin' life


9. THE REMAINS OF LIFE

"There must be some way out of here", said the man and shot himself
I cannot tolerate myself, I cannot tolerate this life I live

This burden that I bear upon my shoulders, weights too much
And now, that the dust descends in the remains of my whole life
I will be wiped away

Will I be a little single drop of rain?
Will I ever be allowed to born again?
For all these bad things that I made
I only tried to make them go away
You were my last hope, my last chance
You were the only thing I had
Will I be a little single drop of rain?
Will I ever be allowed live again?

I'm falling down but I hope that I shall still remain


10. FUNERAL PARADE

What will happen when I die?
Can you be there, be there by my side?
Can you promise that you will?
Can you promise that you'll find a will to live?

Will you miss me when I'm gone?
Will you be there at my funeral?
I've got nothing else to say
I will love you and I will miss you anyway

In that hole my bodies lies
Now I see all the good things I left behind
And you are one of those
You are the one that I always, I always loved the most
I always loved the most

I wish you'll remember me this way
I hope you won't forget these words that I say
I wait to see you again someday
I wish to see you at my funeral parade

And when I'm gone away, don't you forget what I said
Cause I'll be watching you until your sun will shine again
