1. Wings Of Darkness

The skies are open
Smell of a danger in the air
We ride the north wind
over the mountains
without a care
Adventures calling
beyond the faraway stars

The battle has been won
falling enemy's ships on fire
Diving through the void
the wings are spread
to take us higher

No place to call home
in underworld or sky
Living on the edge
looking danger into the eye

Flying towards
the stars so bright
Straight into
the heart of the night
Wings of darkness
carrying the spirits of us

Flying towards
the stars so bright
Straight into
the heart of the night
Wings of darkness
carrying the spirits of us

The skies are open
for atomic vikings to roam
And when the quest is ended
Valhalla will then be
our home

No place is safe from us
in underworld or sky
Living on the edge
looking danger into the eye

Flying towards
the stars so bright
Straight into
the heart of the night
Wings of darkness
carrying the spirits of us

Wings of darkness
Wings of darkness
Wings of darkness
Wings of darkness

2. Midwinter Nights

Screams falling out of the sky
blackness encloses me
Strange visions flickering to die
twisted shape of eternity

Freezing wind bites my flesh
rips it off over the bone
Stranded in the night forever
pain makes me scream and groan

I can no longer
break the shields of my loneliness
I'm only waiting
in the everlasting fortress
of midwinter nights

Soul lost in anger and frustration
darkness enters me
Ruins, decay and desolation
are left from my world to be seen

Out in the snow with my ghost
howling in the woods with beasts
Black hearted grief swells in me
gone too far for anyone to reach

I can no longer
break the shields of my loneliness
my name is forgotten
I'm only growing less

Won't you please let me in
I'll do no harm
Oh can't you see I'm in great pain
Won't you please let me in
there'll be no harm
My heart just can't bear this chain
of midwinter nights

Screams falling out of the sky
blackness encloses me
Strange visions flickering to die
twisted shape of eternity

I can no longer
break the shields of my loneliness
my name is forgotten
I'm only growing less

Won't you please let me in
I'll do no harm
Oh can't you see I'm in great pain
Won't you please let me in
there'll be no harm
My heart just can't bear this chain
of midwinter nights

Midwinter nights
Won't you please let me in

3. Dancing On The Wire

You are the child of fire
and I'm of ice
And you struggle to be a flier
whereas shadows are my disguise

You reach for the heights
the loneliness of majesty
In the kaleidoscope of lights
you have reached your victory
so bitter so sweet

You're dancing on the wire
you laugh and I weep
You're dancing on the wire
and my sorrow has grown deep

From my love you were delighted
though it was clear
that we sailed on different streams
Like the stars we are devided
and I'll be lost in your dreams
so bitter so sweet

You're dancing on the wire
you hear the highest praise
You're dancing on the wire
and I'm no one in no place
on the wire

You reach for the heights
the loneliness of majesty
In the kaleidoscope of lights
you have reached your victory
so bitter so sweet

You're dancing on the wire
you laugh and I weep
You're dancing on the wire
you fly and I creep

You're dancing on the wire
and I'm falling out of sight
You're dancing, dancing, dancing
'til you fall amidst your flight
like me into the night

4. Love's Not Made For My Kind

There's been a thousand times
thousand times I've wondered
Is it the hand of fate
that pushes me out into the cold

And the ex-friends say
that I've hidden my feelings too deep
Truth is that I've got
nothing to hide anymore
I feel myself weary and old
I've had more than my share of pain

Love's not made for my kind
my heart's turning to stone
Love's not made for my kind
better to leave me alone

I've been on the edges of unknown
I've roamed the spaces wild and free
I've always been on my own
I can't change my ways can't you see

And now the dark is rising
and my back's to the door
I think it's time to give in
my legs won't carry me no more
I've had more than my share of pain
I wonder if I am still sane

Love's not made for my kind
my heart's turning to stone
Love's not made for my kind
better to leave me alone

Love's not made for my kind

Love's not made for my kind
my heart's turning to stone
Love's not made for my kind
Better to leave me alone

Not made for my kind

5. Rose On The Grave

Sound of falling water
in the deserted halls
Red light dims to extinction
as the darkness falls

Circuits blocked underground
senility of mechanical brain
No one to stop the current
of madness
no one to share your pain

Hear that static cracking
through your sleep
Eaten by corrosion
without eyes you weep

Just a rose on the grave
Rose, rose on the grave

You cannot escape
the dark dreams haunting you
You've died for thousand years
hoping this time it would be true

They gave you the power
by the power you were deceived
You fulfilled the order
look what you have received

Radar eyes blinded
by the ancient storm
Now your mind is capable
only to deform

Just a rose on the grave
Rose, rose on the grave
Just a rose on the grave
Rose, rose on the grave

Rose on the grave
Rose on the grave

6. Lady Deceiver

My thirst for you
helps you do me wrong
I'm afraid of you
it makes you strong

Promises of sin
in a wink of an eye
Deceiving me again
I wish you would die

Keep me in chains
when you go around
Still when you came
I crawl before you
on the ground

Lady deceiver
lady deceiver

I don't know
which one I lust for more
You body
or your blood all over me

In your cage
I rage at the door
Opening my mind
for sweet insanity

I want to crush you
under my weight
You've made me mad
by being an ultimate bait

Lady deceiver
lady deceiver

From desire
I can not be relieved
I've forgotten
the God
in which I believed

All the things
you say are just lies
Wish I was able
to claw out your eyes

I want to crush you
under my weight
You've made me mad
by being an ultimate bait

Lady deceiver
lady deceiver

Lady deceiver
clow your black heart out
Lady deceiver

7. No Return

God knows I love you
meaning I love you
as much as I can

How could you trust me
I should've said
I'm not
the right kind of man

Don't wanna tell more lies
don't wanna blind your eyes
We can't go on
our time has gone
Oh can't you see
Oh can't you see

There is no return
oh baby
No return, no return
God knows it hurts me
to see how this betrayal
of mine hurts you

I thought that this time
I wouldn't let you down
but now I do

Don't wanna tell more lies
don't wanna blind your eyes
Now it must be clear
you weren't even near
to my heart
Lies from the start

There's no return
oh baby
No return, no return
You must bury your love deep
Don't let the painful cracks
of broken heart show

But never turn cold
Tomorrow stays there always
so you'll never know

I won't tell more lies
I won't blind your eyes
But someone may
and that's the day
of no return

Oh baby
no return, no return
Oh baby
no return, no return
Oh baby
no return

No return

8. Breathing Fire

All is twisted
All I see is glowing red
Fire is on my tongue
in my eye, it is in my head

Smoke of burning village
fills my mouth
Screams fill my ears
I am young, I am free
I am wild and I am fierce

Breathing fire
the viper's son
Breathing fire

Golden is my hide and my wings
are darker than black
Three feet long are the nails
that grow on my back

Screaming with hatred
eyes blazing insane
Eating corpses
thrusting souls into pain

Breathing fire
the viper's son
Breathing fire

Breathing fire
the viper's son
Breathing fire

All is twisted
all I see is glowing red
Fire is on my tongue
in my eye, it is in my head

Smoke of burning village
fills my mouth
Screams fill my ears
I am young, I am free
I am wild and I am fierce

Breathing fire
the viper's son
Breathing fire

Breathing fire
the viper's son
Breathing fire

The viper's son
The viper's son
The viper's son

9. Do You Wanna Live Forever

Tell me I'm a fool
with my feet off the ground
The way that I see it
it's the other way around

Say that I'm a dreamer
who's walking on air
Might as well be water
Why should I care

There are things
that must be sought
and I found them before you
My soul just can't be bought

Why do you wanna live forever
trying to make things last
If you wanna live forever
break out of your cast

Things that I'm feeling
could be out of this earth
Got to face the new ages
having their birth

You fall for the popular call
got no guts to take the lead
Have a drink and forget it all

Why do you wanna live forever
trying to make things last
If you wanna live forever
break out of your cast

Why do you wanna live forever
the truth might hit you blind
If you wanna live forever
better widen your mind

Why do you wanna live forever
trying to make things last
If you wanna live forever
break out of your cast

Why do you wanna live forever
the spirits were made to last
If you wanna live forever
take a risk and move fast

Do you wanna live forever
Do you wanna live forever
Do you wanna live forever
Do you wanna live forever

10. The Invisible Hand

I've never ceased to wonder
at the strangeness of my days
Cruealty and tenderness
hand in hand
interlocking by mysterious ways

Sometimes I've seen
beyond the scape of our dreams
beyond the gold at the rainbow's end
And I've seen emptiness
starving to be filled
a plain longing for a friend

I've been hanging on here
dreaming of the other side
Sometimes I've been so near
near the invisible hand

We are born to the times
that change so fast
And we can't trust
the way we're feeling
The need for truth
is strong within us all
But so many times
we'll face a hidden meaning

So many have fallen
to insanity
Thinking they could
draw and cross the line
Leaving others behind
and ending up believing
In the exclusive right
for the grand design

I've been hanging on here
dreaming of the other side
Sometimes I've been so near
near the invisible hand

I've seen the light that shines on
flashing through the other side
Fraction of a second, then gone
back to the invisible hand

Where am I going?
Where did I come from?
I've been longing
for your freedom
Please let me fly

Where am I going
Where did I comefrom
I've been longing
for your freedom
Please let me fly

I've been hanging on here
dreaming of the other side
Sometimes I've been so near
near the invisible hand

I've seen the light that shines on
flashing through the other side
Fraction of a second, then gone
back to the invisible hand

Back to the invisible hand

Take me home, take me home
back to the invisible hand

Take me home
back to the invisible hand

Take me home, take me home
back to the invisible hand

11. Live Hard Die Hard

There's a sign there's a star
it rises over the sea
There's a voice that calls in whisper
and it might set you free

The pain has a lesson to teach
and we always get taught
Every joy is forbidden fruit
and we always get caught

Live hard, you can make it
Die hard, set yourself free
Live hard, you can make it
Die hard

Your soul is a miracle
it glows brightly to my eyes
But you won't raise your stare
to the light beyond the skies

Don't you wanna learn
don't you wanna burn
Don't you wanna find out
we still have time enough
to know what it's all about

Live hard, you can make it
Die hard, set yourself free
Live hard, you can make it
Die hard

The days go by
melting to a grey line
In the dead of the night
there's a short relief

You gotta wake up
I've given you the sign
I've shown you the way
just take my hand

Live hard, you can make it
Die hard, set yourself free
Live hard, you can make it
Die hard

Live hard, you can make it
die hard
Live hard, you know you can make it
die hard

Live hard
die hard
Live hard
die hard

Live hard
die hard
Live hard
die hard

12. In My Blood

The touch of your body
still lingers on my hands
I can feel them burning
Like acid
poured down on me
the rain steams off my skin

Imaginary visions
like broken mirrors
the shards are in my brain
I know you'll be waiting
rolling on the sweaty sheets
waiting for me again and again

The wet dirt grinds
between the concrete and my feet
the voice of my passion gets higher
Drowning my senses
my blood starts to roar
for the need to embrace your fire

I race through the alleys
and the realms of shame
carrying the blazing aura
of aggression
I used to be free
now I can't think straight
you're a blinding obsession

In my blood, poison of love
veins filled with fire and ice
In my blood, dirty love

I remember the sunlight
I hate it now
For making my face
look so pale
There's no more reason
behind my actions
I'm a wolf
on the same old trail

In my blood, poison of love
veins filled with fire and ice
In my blood, dirty love

Eyes turn blind
she whips my mind
Enslaved to her need
she takes my body
and she feeds

In my blood
In my blood

In my blood, poison of love
veins filled with fire and ice
In my blood, dirty love

In my blood, poison of love
veins filled with fire and ice
In my blood, dirty love

In my blood

In my blood, poison of love
veins filled with fire and ice
In my blood, dirty love

13. Guardian Angel

Angel watch over me
walking alone, to the fall of night
Guardian angel, help me to see
Angel be my guiding light

I know the meaning of shame
it makes you feel so broken and torn
I've seen it too many times
I know the face of scorn

I've been on search for truth
but it's never been easy to find
And it's always been so hard for me
to have an open mind

Sometimes you want to give away
the blood of your heart
Loss or gain. How to be sure
you don't sacrifice
yourself in vain

Guardian angel watch over me
Pride leaves you walking alone
to the fall of the night
Guardian angel, help me to see
Angel be my guiding light

Is there a place I must find
a vision to make me understand
There must be a way to keep
my dreams from downing into sand

Facing the walls of my inner defense
do I believe, do I break or bend
The secrets I've held from myself
are only means to and end

Should I open all the old wounds
risk the peace of my mind
There's nothing else to be learned
except the truth, love must be blind

Angel

Sometimes you want to give away
the blood of your heart
Loss or gain. How to be sure
you don't sacrifice
yourself in vain
Angel, Angel

Guardian angel, watch over me
Pride leaves you walking alone
to the fall of the night

Guardian angel
help me to see
Angel be my guide light

Angel, watch over me
watch over me

Angel
I walk to you alone
into the fall of the night

Guardian angel
what's left for me to hold
the shelter from the cold

Angel
Everything I've wanted
all things that I've had

Guardian angel
How can I make
them turn out right
I will ask to understand

Angel
I need a shield

14. Children Of The Grave (Live)

оригинал: Black Sabbath

Revolution in their minds – the children start to march
Against the world in which they have to live
and all the hate that's in their hearts
They're tired of being pushed around
and told just what to do
They'll fight the world until they've won
and love comes flowing through

Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today
Will the sun rise up tomorrow bringing peace in any way?
Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear?
Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear?

So you children of the world,
listen to what I say
If you want a better place to live in
spread the words today
Show the world that love is still alive
you must be brave
Or you children of today are
Children of the Grave, Yeah!

15. Iron Stars (Live)

The earth shook
and the mighty angels wept
The brooms of fire
sadly swept

In a flash of light
all we knew was lost
No one was left to
bear the cost

Parasites were fed
weak hearts had bled
Mediocres were lost
in between

In the end
they all screamed and burned
The faulty ones
laughed and died unseen

The darkness rules
the molten graves alone
Where millions of fools
lived in sin

All those who bowed
to the unholy throne
Were to see the skull
beneath the grin

Torches from hell
let out their deadly scream
The demons cracked
the blue sky with flames

Riding through flesh
and steel on a laser beam
Ridding the unborn
of their names

Iron stars
in their mindless courses
Corpses blown
by the void

Thunder rolled
with heavenly horses
As they crashed
and were destroyed

The earth shook
and the mighty angels wept
The brooms of fire sadly swept

Iron stars

Voices of those
who had to die in vain
Can be heard
echoing through the night

A useless replay
of their endless pain
Never finding
their way to the light

Iron stars
in their mindless courses
Corpses blown
by the void

Thunder rolled
with heavenly horses
As they crashed
and were destroyed

Iron stars
in their mindless courses
Corpses blown
by the void

Thunder rolled
with heavenly horses
As they crashed
and were destroyed

Iron stars

16. The Colour Of Your Blood (Live)

I can feel the poison
in the pulse pounding
straight through my head
feel the fever. it's in me
in this heart of lead

I can feel some strange things
crawling their way
under my skin
The line I'm hanging on
wears dangerously thin

Now I can see
your love twisted me
You'll never be free of me

I'll see the colour of your blood
The colour of your blood on my hands

The colour of your blood
The colour of your blood

The face of the moon turns colder
A grinning skull
with bleeding eyes
Knowing that it ain't real
I'm glad to believe in lies

The death comes so tempting
My hand feels so good
holding some steel
The reason why you can't live
The hurt you made me feel

Now I can see
what your love did to me
You'll never be free of me
I'll see the colour of your blood

I'm a man with no flesh
your betrayal stripped
me to the bone
But I won't be resting
until your life is blown

Now I can see
what your love did to me
You'll never be free of me

I'll see the colour of your blood
The colour of your blood on my hands

The colour of your blood
You'll never be free of me

I'll see the colour of your blood
The colour of your blood on my hands

The colour of your blood
You'll never be free of me

The colour of your blood on my hands

The colour of your blood
You'll never be free of me

I'll see the colour of
colour of

17. Angels Of Pain

Full moon stares at me
from the ceiling
Shadows are sucking
at my breath

Mind mumbles
in its hibernated halfworld
Love and life grow cold
foretold of their death

Loneliness is full of echoes
distant calls
You know you're lost
when they're coming
out of the walls

Angels of pain
you'll fight in vain
They'll get inside you
they'll drive you insane

Angels of pain
you'll fight in vain
They'll make you reach
your final breaking strain

Wingbeat, heartbeat
the rhythms are alike
Loe one, flutter, stop
and down you go

The jar that holds
this God created spirit
breaks if you bring
its host too low

Loneliness is full of echoes
distant calls
You know you're lost
when they're coming
out of the walls

The sunken stare in their eyes
hollow and blind
Faces with no expression
always leering once behind

Angels of pain
you'll fight in vain
They'll get inside you
they'll drive you insane

Angels of pain
you'll fight in vain
They'll make you reach
your final breaking strain

It's not the years
that wear you down
You grow old by
what they contain

If you choose to bleed
the last laugh is on you
Mocking you
to the oblivion
The angels of pain

Sometimes
I get compelled by the mirrors
To see the image
of what might have been

Hours turn to eons
I dare not to blink my eye
Haunted face of myself
is all that I've seen

The message brought home
is not gentle "father to son"
They throw the revelations
like bullts from a gun

Angels of pain
you'll fight in vain
They'll get inside you
they'll drive you insane

Angels of pain
you'll fight in vain
They'll make you reach
your final breaking strain

Angels of pain
you'll fight in vain
Between me and you
they'll drive you insane

Angels of pain you'll fight in vain

They'll make you reach
your final breaking strain
They will drive you insane
They'll never leave
the angels of pain

18. E.T.I.

I see a burning streak
in the dark sky
The stars above are turning pale

A faceless messiah
beast from the outer space
TV-legions all hail

The one we've all
been waiting for
Is it here and now?

With faces proud
but the heart's grown small
We stand in shaky reception

Overloaded minds
trying to predefine
the moment of truth or deception

The one we've all
been waiting for
Is it here and now?

Will we be given an answer?
Does it know who we are?
Will we see a brighter future
by the light of this star?

The gods of billions
will share just one fate
Crushed down beneath
the new one's weight

Will we be given an answer
if it knows who we are?
Will we see a brighter future
by the light of this star?

Telescopes and glassy faces
forced to touch and to feel
Covering beneath the glory
and the threat made real
by the light of this star

Will we be given an answer
if it knows who we are?
Will we see a greater future
by the light of this star?

Telescopes and glassy faces
forced to touch and to feel
Covering beneath the glory
and the threat made real

Will we be given an answer
if it knows who we are?
Will we see a greater future
by the light of this star?

Telescopes and glassy faces
forced to touch and to feel
Covering beneath the glory
and the threat made real

19. As One

This world I see
perception of essential me
It turns wit time
of its own

The will stays strong
to walk the right
to correct the wrong
Collect and learn
what can be known

Mirage of wonder
grow into me
They'll give me
a stronger way to be

I'd see through
darkness to the sun
I'd see you
if we could be as one

The earthern sand
the stars shine
from the palm of my hand
A breach of the solitude
where I stand

The light of the souls
almost reaching me
Will it give me
a stranger way to be

I'd see through
darkness to the sun
I'd see you
if we could be as one

As one

I'd see through
darkness to the sun
I'd see you
if we could be as one

I'd see through
darkness to the sun
The stars in the palm
of my hand
I'd see you
if we could be as one

20. State Of Grace

I see the hill
scattered to horizons
They've haunted my dreams
for a long time

The bones of ancestors
lay unrestful
They're calling me
to their shrine

And I struggle
With the season before the snow
The ground is hard with ice
the road beckons, I'll follow

Home must be left
to know the longing
The toes will grow numb
from the frost

I used to know
where I was heading for
Somewhere, somehow
it just got lost

I'd give anything
for the signs in the sky
Wheels of fire wild at play
spinning, ascending

To learn that there's more than
just to live and die
Some love would be sweet
before the final ending

I will dream myself alive
awaiting light
The pilgrim will arrive
to the state of grace

Where the starved souls will revive
awaiting light
This pilgrim will arrive
to the state of grace

I'd give anything
for the signs in the sky
To know there's more
than just to live and die

I will dream myself alive
awaiting light
This pilgrim will arrive
to the state of grace

Where the starved souls will revive
awaiting light
This pilgrim will arrive
to the state of grace

I will dream myself alive
awaiting light
This pilgrim will arrive
to the state of grace

Where the starved souls will revive
awaiting light
This pilgrim will arrive
to the state of grace

To the state of grace
To the state of grace

21. I Don't Care Anymore (1995 Version)

Somewhere in the night
the visions come to me
And I dream of home
those dreams won't set me free

The road is made of eternity
and I know that it's too late
Too late to change my way
too late to alter my fate

I can always lie to myself again

I don't care anymore
Why do I have these dreams
Don't care anymore
Please set me free

There's something inside of me
something you could not see
It makes me me do the things
the way I do
and I won't let me be

I just can't escape
the memories of you haunting me
The silhouette sharpened
by the moon
the tears that run to sea

To keep away the pain
I'll have to lie to myself again

I don't care anymore
Why do I have these dreams
Don't care anymore
Please set me free

To keep away the pain
I'll have to lie to myself again

I don't care anymore
Why do I have these dreams
Don't care anymore
Please set me free
I don't, I don't
I don't care anymore
No, I don't care anymore

22. Descendants Of Power (1995 Version)

We know the war
that rages in the minds of youth
We're gonna bring it out
for all to see

These days of our life
have not been soft or smooth
That's the way
we always wanted it to be

We're the rising order
we're the way
The descendants of power

Mass media tells us
of the new age of darkness
Ignorance and fear
spreading from the hands that rule

You may think
you're getting something
but you're always getting less
So join our forces
stop being a fool

We're the world of truth
we're the way
The descendants of power

Descendants of power

We'll make a prophecy
A sound will come
that'll break the earth
A shout that'll rise
from the pits of hell

This is the time for us
to undergo rebirth
Time to fight
and cut the hands
that weave the spell

We're the world of truth
we're the way
The descendants of power

Descendants of power
Descendants of power

23. Warhead

The proud son of proud fathers
the feared and fearless me
Soldier of Armageddon
I was born to fly free

Now they see a wasted resource
I'm banished, I'm scorned
Lonely here in my rusty shell
a restless mind hellspawned

They've marched with banners
and they've torn down the wall
Onward to a new tomorrow
it illuminates them all

I was left alone to sulk
in the rift they had to heal
Forgotten threat still lives on
in this body of steel

Warhead, warhead
Warhead, warhead

They say they'll make a deal
trying to pull the very last fang
They think that I'm asleep
but I'm ready to make a bang

The thought to guard against
the coming of the Judgment Day
I'll just say "Let there be light"
and there'll be hell to pay

Warhead, warhead
Warhead, warhead

Nothing really matters now
the weak, they just complain
Do they think their lives somehow
have any worth to gain?

Naked int eh blast like flies
they'll leave an oily stain
Ashes will be washed away
in this all consuming rain

Warhead, warhead
Warhead, warhead

Warhead, warhead
Warhead, warhead

Warhead

24. Crawlspace

Blood is thicker than water
but nothing beats oil
Take the torch to the oil
and let the blood boil

Take a look at the sorry state
of this place
What is it coming to?
Don't you dare look down on me
I've got it in for you

Crawlspace
We gotta stand up
Crawlspace
The only thing we've got is just
Crawlspace
We could use some help
Crawlspace
Help doesn't come cheap these days

Walk face down
through the future warzone
The russian mob
is bringing lead to the bone

There's a racist vigilante
he's on a kicking crusade
The Chinese will eat the world
unless he gets a switchblade

Crawlspace
We gotta stand up
Crawlspace
The only thing we've got is just
Crawlspace
We could use some help
Crawlspace
Help doesn't come cheap these days

Crawlspace
We gotta stand up
Crawlspace
The only thing we've got is just
Crawlspace
We could use some help
Crawlspace
Help doesn't come cheap these days

We gotta stand up
Crawlspace
The only thing we've got is just
Crawlspace
We could use some help
Crawlspace
Help doesn't come cheap these days

Crawlspace (gotta stand up)
Crawlspace
Crawlspace (gotta stand up)
(gotta stand up)

Crawlspace (gotta stand up)

25. I'm Here

Breathing of living
heart pounding
poison stinging

Tiny voices
wrong choices
blood starts singing

I never had anything to lose
no touch nor taste
My body is here for abuse
brain cells for waste

Sirens calling
walls falling
fists bleeding
Bones cracking
scent tracking
the void is feeding

The last of me is about to go
basic primality
Putting up one hell of a show
they will remember me

I'm here
this terminal case of lust
uphold this prison of dust
I'm here
the sexiest god is pain
just gimme the ball and chain
I'm here
I'm here
this terminal case of lust
uphold this prison of dust
I'm here
the sexiest god is pain
just gimme the ball and chain

I'm here
falling proud and tall on my face
reaching grace withing disgrace
I'm here
at the frontline of fools
share my flesh before it cools

I'm here
I'm here
I'm here
Sure as hell, I'm here

26. The Punishment

Inhale
from the barrel of my gun
Swallow these words
and be blown away

The spirits are here
to fill me with nothing
There's no one here
to keep them at bay

And I say:
No more coverups
no more scheming
I hear it coming
kicking and screaming
The punishment
long due
The souls convulse together
I'll never be through with you

The promises
under the hammer of time
They're in pieces
but you never heard them break

Now the dreams are voided
the threats are real
Come to an understanding
with the mutual hate we feel

And I say:
No more coverups
no more scheming
I hear it coming
kicking and screaming
The punishment
long due
The souls convulse together
I'll never be through with you

I drink
from the life of your soul
and laugh at the wraith
punched with holes

You had the same idea
I'm sorry but I'm still here
So gimme the kiss of life
and death, my dear

And I say:
No more coverups
no more scheming
I hear it coming
kicking and screaming
The punishment
long due
The souls convulse together

No more coverups
no more scheming
I hear it coming
kicking and screaming
The punishment
long due
The souls convulse together
I'll never be through with you

I'll never be through with you

27. Generation Clash

оригинал: Accept

Warnings around me
Coming on strong
Hear the desire
That young dudes are fools

But systems will berak down
The way they all do
A general burden
When ever we're through

Powers are freezing
The way that they are
They're fornicating
With each others minds

Typical outcome in whatever we do
We stand on our own rebellion the groove

Generation Clash
Generation Clash – we got the guts to go

They're blaming our music
Say we're wasting time
The fever's been itching
While we stand in line

'cause you're always bitching
You can't hold back the time

Searching for treasure or something to hold
We'll find our pleasure in the cast you mold

Generation Clash
Generation Clash – and so the story goes
Generation Clash – ain't gonna wipe my nose
Generation Clash – ain't got the time to know

Hey Mom (Generation)
Have you always followed the golden rule (Clash)
'cause this just happens to be my first love (Generation)
And that being (Clash)
A must – a must (Generation)
That being playin' my guitar (Clash)

We try to follow your golden rule
Don't seem to matter we ain't from your school
We tries to reason tried to turn it inside out
Without no compromising my guitar will scream out loud – oh

Generation Clash
Generation Clash – that's how the story goes
Generation Clash – and only time will show
Generation Clash – You gotta gotta let me go

Generation Clash
Generation Clash
Generation Clash
Generation Clash

28. Locomotive Breath

оригинал: Jethro Tull

In the shuffling madness
of the locomotive breath,
runs the all-time loser,
headlong to his death.
He feels the piston scraping –-
steam breaking on his brow –-
old Charlie stole the handle and
the train won't stop going –-
no way to slow down.
He sees his children jumping off
at the stations –– one by one.
His woman and his best friend –-
in bed and having fun.
He's crawling down the corridor
on his hands and knees –-
old Charlie stole the handle and
the train won't stop going –-
no way to slow down.
He hears the silence howling –-
catches angels as they fall.
And the all-time winner
has got him by the balls.
He picks up Gideons Bible –-
open at page one –-
old Charlie stole the handle and
the train won't stop going –-
no way to slow down.
