For the Sake of Mankind
I' ve lived beneath the rails. I' ve bled from the "cat-o-nine-tails". I was born in the desert-sun. Raised on beating, dragged with the scum. Learned to survive on the run. Killed a man, I was just sixteen. The judge put these chains on me. "We sentence you to the Galley. Pay penance for your crime. He's guilty; Take him aside"l They left me nothing, but my pride. I'll weep, when angels cry! Who'll say a prayer for a wanted-man, now that I am condemned. I won't weep Still got my pride. I was just sixteen... when they killed the child in me. Thirteen years on the Galley. I've paid penance for my crime, the pain is all inside. They left me nothing, but my pride. I'll weep when angels cry! Can't chain my heart, or my hopes for tomorrow. Can't tear me apart... I've learned how to survive on the run.

Alone in the darkness, I hide from the light. The dark is my fortress. So cold... the night. I've kept the tradition my fathers held-high. The past is my prison. 'till the day I die. So indicated, and yet - so obscure. Is everything fated ? How can I be sure ? Fear's been my kingdom and hate's been my course. I followed a blind-path; Blood-stained, with no remorse I see shadows! Are they... faces of the past ? I hear voices ! Are they... calling from the past ? Alone with conscience, I ask myself; Why...? But answers are hard to find. I can't break-away from my pride. I only did, what I was taught to be right, as my father would have done. Let "History" be my judge, when I'm long-dead, and gone. I see shadows! Are they... faces of the past ? I hear voices ! Are they... calling from the past ? Father! It's turned so cold. I see shadows! Are they... faces of the past ? I hear voices ! Are they... calling from the past ?

June - '41, World-war 2nd. At the Russian-frontiers the Germans are marchin' on. Ready to kill without mercy. Orders from Kreml; We'll burn down the bridges behind. Burn down the bridges Back in Berlin they are now more convinced than ever. The whole world must kneel to the "Swastika" "Sieg-heil," the "Eagle" has landed. "The third Reich" will rise again. Yell Sieg-heil! But weeks turned to months, and the battles raged-on. The "peasants" were fighting back-still. Little by little the Germans would learn that Russian-winter kills. Trapped in the snow - it was freezing below in the "waste-land", the truth was all too real. Taken by storm, attacked from behind by the Cossacks, the mighty "Troops of steel"; turned to their heels Just like Napoleon before Hitler was chased-back to his own "front-door". His army was wasted and worn his "dream" all shattered and torn. In order to save his Berlin, he now gave the order to... burn down the bridges. Yes, it must be done We're gonna burn'em down We'll burn all the bridges behind. The winds of war would soon be stilled, but how lawn will it be... 'till the missiles light up the sky to start "World-War III"

Let my statement be clear. Dear Mr. Editor, don't hang-up, lend me your ear. I'm just a common working-man, doin' the best that I can. But to whom it may concern; I've just about had enough My neighbor looks set in his fancy "Corvette", with the "stereo"-loud screams While I ride the subway from Monday to Friday, mingling with the crowd. They say that crime does not pay. But-"hell", I'm changing my way. To whom it may concern; I'm tired of trying to make an honest-living. "To whom it may concern" I only say; "Let justice be done" Dear Mr. Editor, this may sound familiar, but I've paid my dues, to the society, with pride and in piety. But, what's the use ? Tell me, what have I earned ? I get nothing in return. To whom it may concern; I'm tired of trying'...I've had enough.

Skies were clear that April-night. The mighty ship on her "virgin-voyage". Shining like a "silver-sun". Queen of the seas, sailing-on Hold the course, the captain gave his command. "Full-speed ahead", this is... The great "Titanic" - yeah Flags raised-high... if only they had known. The great "Titanic" - yeah, 'Cross the Atlantic, cruising on and on - yeah. She sailed with speed in glory and with grace. Titanic Queen of the seas... (Titanic-down, down) A "fort of steel" - unsinkable Built to survive, she sailed to glory. At the iceberg, like a knife.. cut her open to end her story "Abandon-ship", I hear the captain cry. "We're going down, let's man the life-boats". "Save the woman and children first". "Send out the message"...S.O.S. (Titanic-down, down)

Can you hear me, God on-high ? Hear my prayer, I need you tonight. Things have turned so - out of hand. There's so much that I don't understand. Don't judge me too harshly. Please, have mercy on me... in the name of love! The name of love! Don't want more than is my share. Have patience on your wayward-son. I'm just a man. A long-lost sinner, that's why I'm here. For all the things I've said and done; Forgive me if you can. Hear me! Be near me! In my hour of need. Confrontation! In the name of love! Hear my confession - oh, Lord. God, can you hear me ? Won't ya' give me a sign. I need you near me, need you tonight. Can you see me are you here ? Hear my prayer... In the name of love! In the name of love!

Should I care if tomorrow comes, care about my brother ? Give a nickel to some charity, should I even bother ? The earth rotates continually, so cold and systematic, somewhere inside a Universe grown huge beyond belief But down here we're narrow-minded, there's trouble 'n pain. Cause one man's loss, is another man's gain. Do you identify a friend, when he needs a helpin' hand ? Take a good look around you, tell me what you see. Are things the way they really ought to be ? See the "bourgeois" staring daggers at the beggar in the street, while praising the "good-lord" for all his gifts For the sake of Mankind we must show we're able... To turn the tables. For the sake of Mankind we must show we're able... To turn the tables. There's a price to be paid Expect... Through the ages ever since the dawn of Man, we've learned how to survive - the hard way. Time, the great-healer, has taught us well; We've turned 'gainst mother-nature..turned Heaven into hell. Will we live to tell...? No - mercy! Expect, no - mercy! No - mercy!
