1. Sacrifice

Too much time to get lost in the maze
Tell me, isn't that strange?
You bleed to get there, you were ready
You were ready, to be a bird in a golden cage

Sweat is breaking on my brow
Where's the freak to ease my pain?
The room is dark and big and empty
Silence drivin' me insane

Night has fallen, demons laughing
Waiting for the light of day
Here's the land of milk and honey
There you got the price to pay

Searching for shelter, riding the pendelum to paradise
As I'm reaching higher – what a pure desire
I'm swinging back towards the edge

And I drift away killing's sacrificed
Here I go insane
What a price to pay, little sacrifice
I 'm sent off to Heaven, and found bedlam

There's a part of me that has not been sold
Save me please, embrace me, hold me
And kiss my bleeding soul
You can't see below the creature
That's pounding, sitting in my neck
If you'd see inside my head
You surely wouldn't turn your back on me

I'm looking for shelter
Riding the pendulum to paradise
As I'm reaching higher, what a pure desire
Swinging back towards the abyss

And I drift away killing's sacrificed
Here I go insane
What a price to pay, little sacrifice
I 'm sent off to Heaven, and found bedlam

Nothing remains the same, but still I hear those voices
Nothing remains the same, where am I gonna go?
Is it my destination, or just a fake temptation
And I remember home, when demons came
And I got swept away
From me

2. Rocket Ride

I sought salvation but I found insanity
Lost in a mass I returned to profanity

I've been reaching for the sky
But I am stuck with my feet, down in concrete

Don't you run away now, don't you be afraid
Now there is a meaning, whoah
Don't you run away now, don't you live a lie
There's more to life to show you, take a rocket ride

Suffered my way with divine aspiration
I failed to resist the sweetest temptation
Been stuck to religion 'till I clung to the pie
You never really miss it, until you really try

Tried to jump but I'm down by concrete
The venery surrounding my feet

Oh i've tried to reach higher
On and on but my flesh is too weak
Been searching for answers – i've been led to the fire
There must be a reason for us to be down here
Oh i'm drifting – temptation
Carried out to sea – i'm drifting away...

I'm a piledriver – piledriver...

3. Wasted Time

Pain is over, no one's to take the blame?
We believed in roses, but then the thorns remained

When I look into the rear view mirror
We create and we destroy
But I've run into a street with a dead end
Walk up that stairway to jump off into the black

Here we go
We go all the way, do we need the pain?
Waking up in a black tommorow
I've been there before, was it all wasted again?
We go all the way, do we need the pain?
Waking up in a black tommorow
I've been there before, was it just all wasted time?

Maybe I am different, maybe I'm a fool
And I wonder if it's worth it
trying to find another you

And I look into the rear view mirror
Just to see how fucked I look
And I travel on that street with a dead end
Like a moth to the flame it's gonna suck me into pain

Here we go
We go all the way, do we need the pain?
Waking up in a black tommorow
I've been there before, was it all wasted again?
We go all the way, do we need the pain?
Waking up in a black tommorow
I've been there before, was it just all wasted time?

What are we heading for?
What do I dare again?
Once bitten, twice shy
And still we haven't learned

So here I'm lying
A leisure-poet in pain
Involuntary loner I know life is just a game
Where nobody gets out alive – a sedative shot for me
No happy man gets out alive – neither of us you will see

4. Matrix

Into the matrix...

I see your face in a masquerade
I see your made up smile
When the show is over that what is left behind?
Its in your eyes, its in your head
How come they say opposites attract?
When all you feel is a struggle deep inside?

Don't tell no lies, no more disguise
I'm tracing the matrix of my life
The damage is done, you don't belong
Deep down in the matrix

I'm feeling pushed, from left to right
Is this the way it's meant to be?
Is my destiny crawling on my knees?
Now who is right? And who is wrong?
Who is the one that won't belong?
Who is for real? And who's just pretending to be?

Don't tell no lies, no more disguise
I'm tracing the matrix of my life
The damage is done, you don't belong
Deep down in the matrix

No more lies, no more disguise
Into the matrix
No more lies, no disguise
I'm tracing the matrix
No more...

lies, no more disguise
I'm tracing the matrix of my life
The damage is done, you don't belong
Deep down in the matrix
No more lies, no more disguise
Into the matrix
The damage is done, you don't belong
Deep down in the matrix

Into the matrix

5. Return To The Tribe

Road lies ahead
And a long road lies behind me
See lights passing by
And I know it's the time of their lives
A million miles, lightyears I've been traveling
To watch and enjoy this world
That I've seen as gallore

I'm musing over it all
Closing my eyes to remember it all
Embracing the past and the future to come
Kiss that road that leads me to my tribe

I've found my way home
I've returned to where I belong
Back to where I've come from
Back to paradise
Time to return to the tribe

The other side, always close to the edge
Been walking a thin line
always knew someone watched my step
A mystery, to make it out alive and sane
The battle is over
and I know who's been with me

Now I'm musing over it all
On top of this world I remember it all
Awaiting the sunrise and sunset at home
Kiss the way that leads to my tribe...

I've seen battlefields, drunk drummers
Japanese hotel toilets
Piesel tuning guitars
And A.C. being my personal slave...

6. The Asylum

Lying in the still of the night
A yearning for shelter
Silence kissing your wounds
soothing your pain
Darkness, what do they know
About losing direction, clutch at a straw
Cherish the hope to make it finally home

You long to be see-through
so nobody can tell
Whenever they make you
bleed your pride away
Now you're drivin by one track mind
initiating you – Splendid flowers
blossom from the wounds
The strong the poison
The sweeter smell the bloom

Don't you try to stand your ground
'Cause you're only coming home

To the heart of fire
You're home, found the asylum
In a world with a broken dance
on shards of glass
I see fire, ruins and fire, and fire
In world where the broken dance
With shattered dreams

It's burning inside you, it's emotional hell
And you keep on smiling, upon the icy tiles
A scream of fire, to sweep the fears away
Seems like forever
too long you've had to wait
Plunge in darkness for wicked harmony

Little angel thrown away
she'll be back another day

Now see the cornered children
I see them off the beaten track
Embracing and crying
Concealed humiliation
now let them dance
Libertation cruelty free
Dance towardsthe gallows tree

Bogyman was sought and found
Bogyman has found a home

In the heart of fire
he's found the asylum
In world with a broken dance
on shards of glass

7. Save Me

Waiting for a little sign
Seems like to no avail
Strolling down the pavement aimlessly
She is for someone
to snatch her bag of memories
How come you call it destiny?
When the cross you bear is
your only company

Never seen you
I don't even know your name
But still I believe

That you are gonna save me
Somehow I got a notion
Just a little affection
on this cold and windy road
Save me from a state of unemotion
Just a little affection
on this windy road

Why is it all so confusing
Why does growing up hurt so bad?
We seek and we get lost
we get found and go again
I don't know what's gonna be
I won't make any promise but I believe

Never seen you
I don't even know your name
But still I believe

That you are gonna save me
Somehow I got a notion
Just a little affection
on this cold and windy road
Save me from a state of unemotion
Just a little affection
on this windy road

I don't if I can
I don't know if I should
I don't know what's right
and what's to come if you would
Here I stand the rain
here in stand in the cold
I'm reluctant to get
Another shot in my soul
I'm afraid of that hole

8. Catch Of The Century

You do not know, and you don't care
And you may never learn
I made approaches you gave me teeth
And got my hope inurned

Unprepossessing that's what you say
Don't get the essential point
What it came down to was you and ain't good nothing
Here's to the wicked and here's to the odd

You got your chance goin' down the drain,
you're dumping the catch of the century
You've had your chance
but you're much too vain to take it
The catch of the century

Nobodys waiting cause all the world
is already spoken for
A host of rivals
I'm out of vogue and I'll be forevermore

You strut around sneer from on high
I'm on the road again – I'm going down with flying colors
before I go down on somebody else

You got your chance goin' down the drain,
you're dumping the catch of the century
And lady luck's got her ass in pain
you're wasting the catch of the century

9. Out Of Vogue

Jip at him moving in slow-mo
Surrounded by a spirit-entourage
So odd – inviting sneer
You ride the spinning wheel that's gotten faster
Outside they saw the passing centuries

Round and round, merry-go-round
round and round you go
Scream and shout, laugh aloud

It's so out of vogue
To lead a way outside the catalogue
You're en vogue and don't understand
Your transient mistress of the world
How does it feel in your cage?
Trapped in vogue

So you don't miss a thing in your carousel
You feel so proud behind the steering wheel
Don't mind you soul waves at you from outside
When you feel happy as you kneel

Lady Dark crack the whip – 300 pounds of lust
What you get, what you need

It's so out of vogue
To lead a way outside the catalogue
You're en vogue and don't miss a thing

10. Superheroes

City lights are calling
Slowly coming back to life
Speeding in the fast lane
Mama let us waste no time
Devil in the doorway
Selling any kind of hell
We're just coming out to play the game...

We never cry for love – We're superheroes
We are back where we belong
We never cry for pain – We're superheroes
Make a stand where we belong

Way to long I've tried to be
What I could never be
For too long you've rolled the dice
But you can't control me

I ain't talking 'bout romance
You may fiddle, I may dance
Anyway it's a just game we play...

We never cry for love – We're superheroes
We are back where we belong
We never cry for pain – We're superheroes
Make a stand where we belong – We're superheroes

You gotta move to stay alive
We're gonna rock the bash tonight

...Cry for love – We're superheroes
We are back where we belong...

We never cry for love – We're superheroes
We are back where we belong
We never cry for pain – We're superheroes
Make a stand where we belong – We're superheroes

11. Trinidad

"Hello girls!"

"Hello Tobi you hot little machine!!!"

I'm a sight for sore eyes
Oh, if your eyes would only see
I've been born on tiptoe
Still you looked
like a lighthouse next to me

You pet named me Napoleon
I was proud
'til I got the reason why
Never aimed for confrontation
You've been sleeping
when I kissed your ass goodbye

Oh, while you read this letter
I'm just.gone to eat out
By the way

My what a sunshine in Trinidad
Hope you're okay light years away
My world a heat wave in Trinidad
Hope you don't mind if I stay

Pitcher goes to often to the well
And now the pitchers gone insane
Ratatatatata – gotta run away
boiling over, getting hell
And found the answer on a plane

Oh, I've been pissing off
Before you might
Could have pissed me off
I hope you're fine

My world of sunshine in Trinidad
Mind if you stay, I do okay
My world of heat wave in Trinidad
Sunburnt a nightflight away
