So you say you hate and you're ready to fight

you're filled up with agressions

you say it's too late

to discuss for your right - you got violent obsessions

But history shows whenever hate grows

it's giving you misery and pain

it's a deadly illusion to find a solution

by usin' your fist - not your brain

The roots of hate - when destiny's callin'

the dark side of fate

some conscience is fallin'

the roots of hate - are small

in a cave without light they grow 'till the night

turns our fears

into burnin' tears

For billions of years since the very first date

there were fights and damnations

but destruction and fears never made problems fade

'cause the blade of a sword kills all patience

But history shows whenever hate grows

it's giving you misery and pain

it's a deadly illusion to find a solution

by usin' your fist - not your brain

The roots of hate - when destiny's callin'

the dark side of fate

some conscience is fallin'

the roots of hate - are small

in a cave without light they grow 'till the night

turns our fears

into burnin' tears

In the trashcan of mercy

some fallen angel cries

in fear and desperation

while another hero dies

The roots of hate - when destiny's callin'

the dark side of fate

some conscience is fallin'

the roots of hate - are small

in a cave without light they grow 'till the night

turns our fears

into burnin' tears

Where the rich become the beggars

And the wise become the fools

Some jaded heart may turn the page

And start to break the rules

Way beyond the distance

The knaggy oaks of truth

Wake thoughts of resistance

And send you on the loose

In the deep of the night

With your face on the ground

You'll learn to spit at the devil

Not to get pushed around

In the deep of the night

When you gaze at the stars

When the fogs cry "freedom"

You'd better count your scars

Maybe I'm sinner

And maybe I ain't no saint

But I know the ancient dreams

Of the bounded and the chained

Slavery or justice

Holy preacher's fail

But preservatived lust

Is getting outa jail now

In the deep of the night

With your face on the ground

You'll learn to spit at the devil

Not to get pushed around

Like the princess of time

Damned not to die

I know we all need it

A shoulder to cry on at night

A place we can hide

Blessed are the innocent

'Cause they do not know

You only can miss

What once ruled the show

In your life

Then it cuts like a knife

When memories arrive

You should not look back

And be strong to survive

To give your

Calls to the world

Open your eyes - catch the grace of an angel

Calls to the world

When you're lost in the darkness

Left standing in the rain

Alone without pleasure

Fighting the pain of tomorrow

And dance with your sorrow

You gotta hold on to your

Dreams and believe

In the power of heartblood

Don't let the thief

Of the light

Escape in the night

Don't quit the fight

Follow your conscience,

Your soul and your pride

Give your

Calls to the world

Open your eyes - catch the grace of an angel

Calls to the world

Destruction - pollution - intolerance - hatred and blood

The respect of nature's been slayed

And lies dyin' in the mud

We gods are left mightless now

As they praise their own shines

We only can send our signs

When thunder roars - in the night

Their holy wars - should be fought just to save

This world from the grave of light

Genetic creations - atomic sensations - they fly

To stars and horizons and reach for the sky

We watch them from nowhere

When they finally must pay fot their crime

We'll burry our tears in time

When thunder roars - in the night

Their holy wars - should be fought just to save

This world from the grave of light

We - are standing together

And we - are one hand in hand

And we can't believe

This race we created

Has got on the lose - begun to refuse

To try to understand

Now

Thunder roars - in the night

Change your course - you can't win the fight

Thunder roars - in the night

Their holy wars - should be fought just to save

This world from the grave of light

Now that you're gone

I'm trying not to cry

and I'm asking my walls

why our love had to die

wise people say time

will heal every wound - someday

Well, I tried to be a good guy

tried harder day by day

but on this bed of roses

the fire - the wire didn't stay

Like a candle out in the rain

on the wings of a prayer we've been hiding our pain

our fading love - we tried to save but in vain

Like a candle in the rain

Maybe we should have tried

a little bit more

and maybe we had a dream

worth fighting for

but it's been taken away

the winds of change blew so fast

and passion didn't last

Well, I tried to be a good guy

tried harder day by day

but on this bed of roses

the fire - the wire didn't stay

Like a candle out in the rain

on the wings of a prayer we've been hiding our pain

our fading love - we tried to save but in vain

Like a candle in the rain

When at night the winds blew cold

we used to lie awake and hold

each other tight but these days are gone forever

forever now

Like a candle out in the rain

on the wings of a prayer we've been hiding our pain

our fading love - we tried to save but in vain

Like a candle in the rain

Nameless cross on the misty rain

Reminds on hopes gone down the drain

You - who's burried at this lonely place

Were proud to be a man as you lost the race

Or did you cry in vain

Did you scream for your mother but she never came

Dead soldier - what was your age

As you died - were you still a child in the cage

You were food for the guns

Missing in action like a billion sons

With no chance to get old

If you'd been a coward - you're a hero in my eyes

If you've been a cold killer who believed their lies

I'll pray for your soul

And so I bow my head

As I sit at your grave and remember the dead

Who died for another one's pride

Cemetary dawn - traces in the darkness

Cemetary dawn - shadows of the past

Cemetary dawn - faces of the pain will last

All them faceless gods of war

What the hell are they fighting for

Losers & winners - all the same

Victims of that vicious game

Or did you cry in vain

Did you scream for your mother but she never came

Dead soldiers - what was your age

As you died

Cemetary dawn - traces in the darkness

Cemetary dawn - shadows of the past

Cemetary dawn - faces of the pain will last

He was a money - hungry - power - thirsty rich man's kind

Taught to praise the business

And that's all he ever did

Daytime - nightime - always the same

One day he realised

Something's missing in his game

Well - money makes the world go 'round

To have or have not - holy amount

But there's one thing you can't buy at all

Whoever you are - without it you're small

Sentimetal trust - sets hearts on fire

Sentimetal trust - can't be drowned on greed

Sentimetal trust - our dream's desire

Sentimetal trust - tames cold and heat

Another lad was just a shy shy boy

he wasn't too attractive

And always without joy

So he went to a whore to learn what loves means

But she couldn't give emotions

She only sold what's in her jeans

Well - money makes the world go 'round

To have or have not - holy amount

But sentimetal trust - sets hearts on fire

Sentimetal trust - can-t be drowned in greed

Sentimetal trust - our dream's desire

Sentimetal trust - tames cold and heat

I can feel a desert wind

Hear it howlin' in the streets tonight

It's a warning noone fears

And there ain't no place where we can hide

Strangers lost in silence

Empty hearts and blinded eyes

Dangers taste like violence

Tears - while conversation dies

Lack of communication leads to

Asphalt - deserts - streets of pain

Darkness calls the light

When all the water's banned

And cares are buried under sand

The wind will turn into a wasteland serenader

So wake up - just stop feeding dust

Open your minds and learn to trust

It's never too late - never too late to try

Cages of confusion

In this world of broken dreams

Social constitution

Tries to hide behind the streams

Lack of communication leads to

Asphalt - deserts - streets of pain

Darkness calls the light

When all the water's banned

And cares are buried under sand

The wind will turn into a wasteland serenader

So wake up - just stop feeding dust

Open your minds and learn to trust

It's never too late - never too late to try

I can feel a desert wind

Hear it howlin' in the streets tonight

Days of working, and years of rain

A handful of hope sometimes

Leads to tears in rain

We'll never give - no

- we'll never give in

We're addicted to that rush

City to city - from show to show

That's the only way we want to go

Even though the road is gettin' tough

Through the fire we will ride

For power and glory - side by side

Through the fire we will ride

You can beat and mistreat us

But you can't take our pride

We will ride

Well it ain't for the money

That we might never see

But these few hours on stage

Are the very best cause to be

We got an aim and that's all we need for now

We can make it anyhow

City to city - from show to show

That's the only way we want to go

Even though the road is getting tough

Through the fire we will ride

For power and glory - side by side

Through the fire we will ride

You can beat and mistreat us

But you can't take our pride

We will ride

Sometimes your mind is getting

Out of control and your soul is on the run

Pictures of destruction

Are killing your hopes beat your heart against

Beat your heart against the wall and lights are turning

Into dark and rusty wheels but tears won't stay

Ups and downs

There are always ups and downs

Sometimes we act like clowns

Sometimes we act like heroes in the night

Ups and downs

Always ups and downs

Like kings but without crowns

There are always ups and downs

Sometimes your mind is racing

Up to the sky and your pride is flying free

Pictures of construction

Are feeding your hopes make your face like without

Make your face like without fear and wheels are turning

But don't you feel too safe it's just like night and day

Ups and downs

There are always ups and downs

Sometimes we act like clowns

Sometimes we act like heroes in the night

Ups and downs

Always ups and downs

Like kings but without crowns

There are always ups and downs

So there's no need to give your

Bread away for stone

Sometimes emotions grow

Where feelings can't be shown

Once water took the fire

And landscapes ate the seas

Then preachers grew and hatred too

The birth of a disease

I'm afraid of new crusaders

Who force our freedom's fall

Religions still course so much pain

And backs against the wall

Are we just too blind to see

Will we never learn how great

This life could be

Why do we praise the fight

Tell me why

Can't we take the night away

Why must children cry

Can't we make this world a better place

Without hatred day by day

Why can't we finally find a way

We need no heroes

To protect us from our fears

Just by filling children's eyes with tears

Innocent victims of fanatics gone insane

"This power will last forever" they said

And millions died in vain

Are we just too blind to see

Why do we praise the fight

Tell me why

Can't we take the night away

Why must children cry

Can't we make this world a better place

Without hatred day by day

Why can't we finally find a way

They sell you sixty-nine and a thousand tales

Just to make your fortune

In this kingdom made of glitter and tears

Honesty on the run

Afraid to touch the taken sun

And the lost light a candle

But don't forget you can touch the sky

(Just follow your heart)

You can't get out - with eyes of a stranger

Can't get out - you'll never stand on lies

So scream and shout

With eyes of a stranger you'll always be blind

Silent scream in the night

Parasites try to hide

Behind success, glam and glory

Passion dies - all these lies

Oppression - fashion - blinded eyes

And the raped tell the story

But don't forget you can touch the sky

(Just follow your heart)

You can't get out - with eyes of a stranger

Can't get out - you'll never stand on lies

So scream and shout

With eyes of a stranger you'll always be blind

I was born to believe in dreams,

Fortune and twilight

All my life I tried to understand

Why - why silence roars

I had my pride

Reached for the sky

But dreams never last FOREVER
