this is the end of love - is this the end?

this is the end!

a little boy stands by the waterfall

- he wants it all

he's tremblin' in his rage

and life soon turns the page

the little boy's now growing older fast

and even though his aims don't last

he's on the run - another one

like all the rest

what are we fightin' for

why do we still want more?

another lie - another battlecry

as time goes by

this is the end of love

this is the end of hope

this is the end and this is the time

and maybe it's just a simple rhyme

this is the end of life

and this is the end of the fight

there's so much we never should understand

and this is the end

the little boy's now grey to pass away

waitin' for his judgement day

- come what may

when dreams decay

and here I stand and watch the waters flow

and still I don't know

where do we go from here?

here's to you, my fatherland

silent scream - my only friend

traces - disillusion - down

masquerader - sailor - clown

I was born without a home

blue wherever I may roam

seems like finally I would find

everlasting peace of mind

- Insania

all the laughter - all the pain

all the troubles - all the rain

all the fun we had - INSANIA

all the rumors - all the heat

all the prayers to the backbeat

all the things we said - INSANIA - gone too far...

in my heart - in my soul

I take a dice and let it roll

there's a place for the last and the only ones

there's place for disgrace where the braindeer runs

to the pole.

All my life I tried to hide

where the rising shaddows ride

teardrops from a spaceship flown

silent waters made of stone - Insania...

man will come and man will go

man will fight and still don't know

why man must altuays rise and fall

take the gun and want it all

man of hatred - man of gain

man of children died in vain

man of war - what for?

man must eat and man must kill

man must pay another bill

man must do what leaders say

but men believe in "their own way"

man hits wife and wife beats kid

kid kicks dog but the dog's too fit

to bite the cat for a chain

and the circle of pain

men of steel and men of pride

do sometimes need a place to hide

men of trust and men of black

some men are never comin' back

man needs money - money needs fame

man who loses tries to blame

the world, the stars, the rain

and the circle of pain

stairway melter

lightning strikes when

frightening shelter likes - you

circle of pain - mankind insane

over and over - you cannot deny

that the world's biggest lie

does remain - in the circle of pain

man needs trouble - man needs sin

man must play and always win

man needs women - you ain't got one?

well, real men hide their tears in blood

man must walk alone but tall

and man must hate the wake up call

men go down the drain - circle of pain

funny how it seems to be a little bit of history

funny how it seems to be a little bit of ....life?

it happened in the gutters

near the dirty river's shore

where the rats were the readers

and on the run

from the rising sun

and the war

they ain't gonna follow their leaders

down the drain

in the pouring rain

anymore

in the chest of someone who just lost his life

with the light of dawn was found a soldier's knife

cold september day - dark and grey

watch out - beware

les chiens de la guerre

tears like raindrops fall - reaper's call

la peine des mères

les chiens de la guerre

in the name of the father - in the name of the gun

in the name of whatever

they'll find a reason

when it's hunting season

and fun

'cause some brains were never

made for thinkin'

and there's still some drinkin' to be done

seas of blood and slime

helmets filled with hate

raise your glass, my friend

it's time to kill your mate

cold september day.............

you got fallen reasons in one blink

you got people always tryin' to think

you got sisters in a traffic jam

my body's like a tram

you got trouble melted by the heat

liberty on dead end street

you got an iron lion sighin' when you're cryin'

and life goes on

on and on - tomorrow I'll be gone

but life goes on

so you were born where the black cats stray

back on your feet - that's the price you got to pay

for daylight dreams in the midnight hour

intelligence is power!

to find a rose way down below

scared to death where egos grow

whenever a wish cuts like a knife

then life goes on

on and on - tomorrow I'll be gone

but life goes on

in this world of my reaction

I can't find a reason why

in this world of disattraction

may the force be with your lie forever

me, myself and I belong together

and life goes on

on and on - tomorrow I'll be gone

but life goes on

you won't find no satisfaction, brother

when the skunk's got you down

'cause when you smell kinda funny

you can look as sunny as you want

the skunk's got you runnin' in and outta town

There are many kinds of resurrection

Or maybe, interattraction

no, even Satan's protection

won't melt your crown

when the skunk's got you down

and you do the crawl

you're fucked up way beyon belief

and that's all.

one Cain of a friend

pain in the end - that's the roll of the dice

eyes filled with tears

when brain disappears - that's the roll of the dice

well, life's a gamble just

and traps are callin' us

we live from day to day without a care

we may forget sometimes as leaves are fallin'

the crets are howling 'cause they're out to get their share

so it's one for insanity - two for the size

"no" for an answer - the roll of the dice

...and the winds scream in anger

and the faces of time turn to lies

the winds scream in anger

it's the roll of the dice

it's more than a kiss

what we call the abyss - that's the roll of the dice

so lay down your card

it may break you apart - that's the roll of the dice

...and the winds scream in anger

and the faces of time turn to lies

the winds scream in anger

it's the roll of the dice

for once in my life

for once in my life

I feel like a reason would lately arrive

with a name to recall

for once in the night

for once in the night

I feel like some fortune was with me to light

one new flame - after all

rains to the ground - rains to the world of tomorrow

saints to be found

yesterday - come what may still

one more day

- say you will -

another try - you and I

ain't gonna cry no more - cry no more - ain't gonna cry no more

for once in my life

for once in my life

trust is a blade now that cuts like a knife

and a dream to come true

for once in my tears

for once in my tears

there's destiny callin' and pain disappears

and the skies burn so blue

rains to the ground - rains to the world of tomorrow

saints to be found

yesterday - come what may still

one more day

- say you will -

another try - you and I

ain't gonna cry no more - cry no more - ain't gonna cry no more

little boy standin' by the window

tell the world what you're gonna be

little boy on the edge of silence

open eyes for new aims to see

come a day you may touch a rainbow

come a day you may fade away

come a word you may say in anger

come a price you may have to pay......

you gotta call me when it's dark there

on the wrong side of the moon

and when the toys of love will turn

into evil hounds of doom

when silence is holy

in the cages of light

you will remember

the shadows of the fight

I will be there - after the war

I will be there - forevermore

and I will be there - with the wind and the rain

I will be there - somehow - someway - somewhere

burning in season

of pain and despair

over the mountains where no one seems to care

a new ray of hope will come and light up the night

as long as you need me I will be by your side

I will be there - after the war

I will be there - forevermore

and I will be there - with the wind and the rain

I will be there - somehow - someway - somewhere

someday we'll try

and heaven can wait

reach for the sky - and get away - get away

so I will be there - after the war

I will be there - forevermore

and I will be there - with the wind and the rain

I will be there - somehow - someway - somewhere

mother said: "don't believe in dreams"

she said: "life's too hard to swing against the streams"

then she gave you a kiss and turned out the light

but you couldn't sleep at all

and you made your decision

to hold on tight -

to keep your heart

wide open - just to play your part and fight

and never take this small forever

- some give all

the mysterious boot hill grave inscription

"We don't need no one"

one for the dreamer in a world made of stone

two for the stranger who's left without hope and alone

call me a drifter with a faith bound to die

will you still betray - cover each day with a lie?

and time - time will tell

time will show you a reason why

too late to try

just fate - goodbye

the mysterious boot hill grave inscription

"We don't need no one"

- Some give all when all give some

and when the world's just a comedy

some will leave and some will fall

cause when I do give something

- some give all

do you remember the fears and the lights

do you believe in the silence and dark sleepless nights

once a companion - always a fool

over, done, finished and out and again just the rule

and time - time will tell

time will show you a reason why

too late to try

just fate - goodbye

the mysterious boot hill grave inscription

"We don't need no one"

- some give all when all give some

and when the world's just a comedy

some will leave and some will fall

cause when I do give something

- some give all

......and everybody calls your name

one stormy night an angel fell

the raven sold his dreams in hell

to keep the light from burning skies

like he's been told to roll the dice

the angel smiled and said hello

I'm just a tale from long ago

the endless mile I've walked alone

l've roamed the trail of tears and stone

fogs rise - when dreams decay

fools - wise - who dares to say

it's over now - it's over now - someway - somehow

the wheel stopped turning

it's over now - it's over now - it's over now

and real

the raven laughed and then he cried

of war and blood and those who died

"...one friend to have is worth the weight

and what you've got - you'll see too late..."
