1. The Whole World's Crazy
Take a good look around you
What do you see
Just a lot of trouble and misery
Power hungry blind injustice
Still the enemy
We all need the truth to set us free
On the road to selfdestruction
Don't know how to turn around
Living with the lies and corruption
If we're goin' anywhere we're going' down
Crazy, the whole world's crazy
Losig our minds, we are certifiably insane
Crazy, the world's crazy
Running out of time
And we got ourselves to blame
I don't see a rhyme or reason
How did we lose our way
Trading our tomorrows for yesterday
There's nothing left to believe in
We're headed for the fall
Say a prayer and heaven help us all
How you gonna run for cover
When you got no place to go
Turn our backs on one another
Someone tell me something I don't already know
Crazy, the whole world's crazy
Crossing over the line, seriously deranged
Crazy, the whole world's crazy
Looks like they way we're going
It's never gonna change
Everybody talks about it
But nobody ever does a thing
We better pull ourselves together
or we're gonna hear the final bell rang
Oh, we're at the end of the rope
Close to the edge
Falling, falling
I wonder if we'll never rise again
Crazy, we don't know how to turn it around
Crazy, if we're going anywhere, we're going down
Crazy, the whole world's crazy
Losig our minds, we are certifiably insane
Crazy, the world's crazy
Running out of time
And we got ourselves to blame
2. Nightmares
The sun is here now safe and secure
and nothing can harm me
but when it's time for bed, my mama has told me:
hands on the cover
I see a bad moon is rising
and there's shadows on the wall
It's always the same when the sun disappear
The prince of darkness – I know he's here
Nightmares, chasing my senses away
a shape dressed in black was sent from the dark
and now it is calling my name
Nightmares, oh, Lord I'm drifting away
towards the night, far from the light
even, though I've said my prayers
Nightmares....
I've read the Bible again and again
I should be protected the twilight is here now
those voices inside me
will start their calling
Yeah, when the night time is coming
to steal my virgin soul
a cradle of sin, that will force me to sleep
The angels of night let me hear their weep
The preacher has told me to serve God some more
and he will make it go away, some money will help him
to shelter my sleep, then he will make them go away
Shadows of sin unholy ones dragging me under
I see him now...
3. Two Of A Kind
I remember everything we used to do together
the pictures returning to me like out of the blue
It feels kind of strange to think of the times
When you were a part of my life
Now we're two of a kind, you and I
I was not ready but somehow I knew it must happen
all I could do was to hold you soft in my arms
I hope for an end to your misery
I'm loosing you, can't help
My tears are falling down warming you
Don't let me down
don't make me beg you please
don't let me down
I'm already on my knees
Let it pass easy, all I'm asking you
Don't let me down
All I need is just a little bit of sympathy
I light a candle in the dark
And feel your spirit fly
I wonder where you are
I look at the starry sky
I often think about you
now all that's left for me
are those memories of the past
Life is a mystery a never ending journey
Into the circle of eternity
So, don't let me down
So, don't let me beg you
Cause I'm already down on my knees
I just need a little mercy, can you hear me
All that I'm asking from you is your sympathy
Don't let me down, don't let me beg you please
It feels kind of strange to think of the times
when you were a part of my life
Now we're two of a kind, you and I
4. I Will Rise Again
You knocked me down maybe I had it coming
But you've gone to far, and it's the very last time
How can I hold you baby you keep on running
You're throwing away something so hard to find
There was a time I held the world in my hands
Now you're gone and all that's left is a broken man
I can't understand
I may be down, but I'm not over
With every breath I'm fighting to win
Better look around over your shoulder
I'm coming back, I will rise again
You pushed me around, baby I let you do it
It's not so hard when you hold love like a gun
I still believe all the time you knew it
Some day you'll see that I was the one
Letting go I'm on my own once again
Now there's no way I can pretend
This is the end
There's some things that are just meant to be
If you only believe
There's someone out there waiting for me
If I set my heart free
5. Day Of The Eagle
Why do I believe
there's a man in your closet, my dear?
I just don't know I wonder
why your line's always busy when I try to call?
Playing dirty tricks behind my back
seems like I'm the one to be the last to know
Oh, am I just suspicious?
I'm a stranger between your sheets
On the day of the eagle
I will strike down upon you
On the day of the eagle
there's nothing you can do
Day of the eagle
Searching your privacy
taping your wires oh, dear
Love makes you blind
I have heard every message left
on your answering machine
Playing dirty tricks behind my back
seems like I'm the one to be the last to know
Oh, am I just suspicious?
I'm a stranger between your sheets
Why do you treat me so bad?
When you know how it hurts me
to swallow your lies
I don't like the taste of the promise we made
We better go separate ways
Playing dirty tricks behind my back
seems like I'm the one to be the last to know
Oh, am I just suspicious?
I'm a stranger between your sheets
6. We Don't Talk Anymore
Sitting by the table, staring at the wall
and it feels like a movie, that I still can recall
oh, all those wonderful nights we had
when we were lovers
Now we're working nine to five saying hi and good bye
is this what we planned for in our young lives?
Now we've grown up and that's tearing us apart
Remember the good times – we did everything by heart
Baby, we don't talk anymore
where's the road we used to walk
where are all the laughs from before?
but maybe if we open our minds tonight
we can get it back, the times we had
once upon a time
But baby we don't talk anymore
I can still hear your whispers like an echo from the past
Remember making love to you like every time was the last
oh, when a kiss lasted all night, we had passion
living under the same roof but two separate lives
though we share the same bed during TV crimes
Now it is time for us to say good bye
good luck to you honey, a new day is just outside
Why do we hurt each other with silence every night?
Where is your smile now – it's gone with the wind...
7. Wings Of A Dream
There's gotta be something better
There's gotta be something more
Seems like I'm holding on forever
What am I living for?
If I can't be who I wanna be
Why am I here at all?
You know I've got to follow my heart
Every time I hear it call
I'm riding on the wings of a dream
To hell with the devil
I can here the angels scream
No halfway, no there's no in between
A little faith is all you need
On the wings of dream
They say "No guts – no glory"
Well, I'm gonna get my share
I knwo I'm gonna find it
Some day, somewhere
You gotta put your faith in something
You gotta believe in yourself
You know I'll never compromise
You can't live your life for somebody else
I want it so bad I can taste it
You know I'm gonna go for it all
Reach out my hand, I'm gonna take it
Yeah, I'm gonna go to the wall
You know I'm gonna take my chances
Lord, I know there's dues to pay
I'm gonna give it all it takes, babe
I'm going all the way
8. Bad Religion
Open your mind don't be afraid
See the ransom is paid
can be a blessing, it will do you good
I'm the tailor in your neighborhood
Designed to fit your personal needs
to heal when a broken heart bleeds
I am the president of charity
I'll take your money for free
In the meantime I'll be waiting
with a smile just to shake your hand
if you need a new identification
let me guide you to our promised land
It's a new religion (a bad religion)
coming to your town
have a ride on a merry go round
Reset your mind drop your defense
feel, there's no common sense
the words I'm repeating
will set you to sleep
dreaming of lands never seen
Now, do you follow
did I make myself clear
your salvation is near
we need your donation
for our charity
we'll take your money for free
In the meantime I'll be waiting
with a smile just to shake your hand
if you need a new identification
let me guide you to our promised land
9. Father To Child
Her bloodshot eyes are open wide
When she's walking down the street
her brain is boiling – on a ride
Now she's into that beat
Don't feel pleasure, don't feel pain
it really doesn't matter
cause when the truth in her life shook her by surprise
she turned her head away from what's wrong or right
Father to child
he turned her life into a nightmare
Father to child
the man said I did it out of love
But it just made her hate...
Father to child
She's on parole she'll take the chance
to travel back in time
for twisted forms of romance
she's a killer machine
The fallen angel on her mind, memories of degradation
and when the ghost in her brain driving her insane
and use the whip of shame
she feels it over and over again
You've lost your hope for love
and for the Lord above
You've got no one to lean upon
feel his dirty hands
hear his sick demands
the nasty passion from hell
Don't feel pleasure, don't feel pain
it really doesn't matter
cause when the truth in her life shook her by surprise
she turned her head away from what's wrong or right
10. Love Is On Our Side
Here I am, with my heart in my hands
I'm reaching out for you
Don't turn away, is there something I can say
God knows there's nothing I won't do
Don't ask why, too many reasons to try
Just let your heart lead the way
Oh, I've come to take you home
So you won't ever feel, You won't ever feel alone
Take a little from me
Take a little from you
Baby, sometimes that's all we can do
Don't be afraid, thre's no reason to hide
Love is on our side tonight
You've been hurt before, just can take anymore
I guess some wounds never heal
But it's different this time
I am yours and you are mine
I swear forever is the way I feel
So lost in the arms of the night
Seeing my soul in your eyes
Oh, you've come to take me home
So I will never be, I will never be alone
Give a little from me
Give a little from you
I know we've got nothing more to lose
Let's put away the past
And we'll put away our pride
Love is on our side
Just take my hand, it will all work out right
We'll dream one more dream
Then we'll turn out the light tonight
11. The Empire Of The Sun
I have come to you as a salesman in the Year of the Rat
At a clear invitation to your table
With a traitors kiss to democracy
in the interest of those I precede
So let's wipe the slate clean and put a lid on
The truth behind bars
There's a fly in the ointment we can't disregard
martyrs die in a blaze of glory
Fighting for justice can't take it no more
I have reached the border of pain
We sacrifice our sons and daughters
on the factory floor
I have no right to complain if I think it is wrong
I have no other choice our bodies still belong
To the man in the middle
the dragon is raising, hold on
the man in the middle
by the Empire of the sun
oh he's the chosen one
In the name of the revolution
by a stray bullet in confusion
Leadership is good, but of little use
when violence lends itself to abuse
The tree of knowledge has made us aware
we have an option to share
the age of enlightenment is the end
to the deep of despair
I have no right to complain if I think it is wrong
I have no other choice our bodies still belong
The "Peoples Republic" – sounds very cool
In the wrong hands it's a dangerous tool
To maintain peace and order
When you've crossed his border
There's no escape
