Crimes of Passion

Turn on the TV and turn off your mind Kill your own thoughts...be one of the brainwashed kind Opinion’s not your own...take a look at your empty brain It’s thrown away and flushed right down the drain Open your eyes and see Unchain your thoughts...set your mind free Get your daily dose of eMpTy V It’s a growing trend...an epidemic I see In your own world...virtual reality (There’s) No innovation just boring monotony In cyberspace you’ve been caught Just start to think instead of being taught CHORUS: Using media with infatuation It’s the breakdown of communication (Realize) You put yourself in isolation 2 times SOLO Don’t you know you build your prison... every day...brick by brick You’re eating their words and you don’t feel, that they make you sick The big machines take care of you until the fashion fades The big machines take control of you until you kill yourself Open your eyes and see Unchain your thoughts... Unchain your thoughts and then set your mind free CHORUS: 3 times

They gather together - watch out! The troops of hate - take care - don’t be late Spreading out their ugly body of thought Anger’s their religion - fight’s their destiny I can’t believe this stupid ideology it’s so strange, as if their minds are deranged Their minds are so deranged You don’t make sense to me - can’t you see You never heard about equality - yeah yeah You’re no better than your enemy No such thing called a superior race Nothing special ‘bout the colour of your face You gotta give your brother some space We’re all a part of the human race Dregs of society...you don’t make sense to me History thaught ‘em nothing Raging violence against minorities thought that was left behind in the last century Upcoming evil - the snakes around We have to grind them into the ground Don’t close your eyes - we have to face the truth SOLO CHORUS: Dregs of society, don’t make no sense to me Dregs of society, never heard about equality Dregs of society, hate what they just can’t be Dregs of society, no better than your enemy Hey, listen close...you’re no better, than your enemy

Darkest night surrounding me... feel like trapped in a prison cell My mind’s empty - nothing’s left to say... somebody please get me out of this hell I am bound in sadness - can’t see the light of day Who will stop all this madness, before my life goes astray Just the same old situation - another day has passed away Lost faith in any relation - that’s why I sit and pray I wanna tear down the walls I’ve been built around myself I wanna break the silence now, just before I go insane CHORUS: Don’t want to play this one-man-show in my theatre of pain Don’t want to run the race alone through the desert far from home Don’t want to be a shipwrecked man got lost at sea Each night I walk the streets alone - smilin’ faces all around Don’t know what went wrong - peace of mind I haven’t found The wind that’s growing strong, it won’t push me to the ground I want to clear the wind and rain, set my eyes to the sun I want to melt the ice around, before my soul gets frozen CHORUS: Don’t want to play this one-man-show in my theatre of pain Don’t want to run the race alone through the desert far from home Don’t want to be a shipwrecked man got lost at sea SOLO I want to clear the wind and rain, set my eyes to the sun I want to melt the ice around...ice around CHORUS:

I remember the night a strange dream came into my mind I see an old man...too weak to rise... he is catching his breath and his eyes they fade to grey... all his years have gone away Time passes by within his mind just like a movie on a screen Soon will fall the final curtain, tears are runnin’ down his face Did he take all his chances, or give them careless away? Did he cross all the fences, or savely stay on one side? He gotta meet this challenge... he has to pass this test! CHORUS: Just take your heart in your hand and put your head up in the clouds! Hear the tickin’ of the clock, it’s telling tales of wasted time! We all got our crosses to bear, but they won’t drag us down! Just stand up and turn the page, make up your mind don’t waste your time! Sometimes the walls are closing in and shadows dance before my eyes It ain’t easy to face my fears, I hope my will is strong enough! I wanna take all my chances, don’t want to give them away I gotta meet this challenge... I have to pass the test CHORUS: SOLO I remember the night a strange dream came into my mind CHORUS:

Think it over...Bury your pride...Think it over... You gotta leave the past behind! Here we are again - eye to eye, face to face Leave the door, we walked through, closed behind us This is the time to trace problem to it’s source No run for cover, just the two of us...alone PRE-CHORUS: You say:“Nothing’s gonna last forever!“ But I can’t take it no more, take it no more CHORUS: Come on, think it over, it’s gotta be just face to face You’ll leave the past behind, if it’s only face to face Bury your pride and say Goodbye, let us talk right face to face We got a long road ahead, if it’s only face to face I may be better off without it, though it’s hard that way We lost the key to our emotions in the dust of our days The choice is yours to kick the door for a new beginning It looks like now or never, to turn a bad thing into good PRE-CHORUS: CHORUS: Come on, think it over, it’s gotta be just face to face Bury your pride and say Goodbye, let us talk right face to face We got a long road ahead, if it’s only face to face Think it over...Bury your pride...Leave the past behind! SOLO CHORUS:

Sometimes our lives flow like a river searching for the sea Sometimes we´re like leaves dancing in the storms of autumn Sometimes we feel like a flower reaching for the light of the sun Sometimes we´re like sheep without a shepard - lost in the desert Have we lost our way - where´s the destination Close your eyes - let your spirits fly CHORUS: Listen close - deep in your mind - a hidden power called Inner Strength Follow the path - to the depth of your soul - and you will find Inner Strength Sometimes life´s like a call never getting an answer Sometimes we´re all like drifters looking for our way And if you´ve lost your way - don´t know the destination Close your eyes - let your spirits fly CHORUS: We are all travellers on a journey through time Always wandering in this labyrinth...called life what we´ll find...it´s in your mind SOLO Like a river searching for the sea Like a leaf dancing in the storm Like a flower reaching for the sun Like sheep without a shepard Like a river searching for the sea Like a leaf dancing in the storm Like a call never getting an answer Like a drifter looking for the way CHORUS:

Lyin’ awake - can’t fall asleep runnin’ after me - the bloody creep A vision - a movie in my mind Killer in dreams - no peace to find Rising fear - a cold shiver my body starts to shake and quiver It’s haunting me - scaring the shit out of me My life has spiraled into insanity CHORUS: A thriller in my mind - life runs out of time Murderer in dreams - it’s a perfect crime The phobia - hit me every night Sanity slips away - this can’t be right A braindance no one else can see I’m a shadow of the man I used to be It’s haunting me - scaring the shit out of me My life has spiraled into insanity CHORUS: A thriller in my mind - life runs out of time Murderer in dreams - it’s a perfect crime 4 times I’m so alone...I need some help... ‘Cause I’m scared to the bone SOLO CHORUS: A thriller in my mind - life runs out of time Murderer in dreams - it’s a perfect crime

End of the day – I watch the crimson sunset As daylight yields the dark of night My inner thoughts will go on that secret journey Where time gets lost and reason fail I’m staring at the wall till I close my eyes for sleep Hope I’ll meet her again – the princess of my dreams She’s so far away – the world of ice – the land of snow And she shines brighter than a thousand suns Gaze at her cold blue eyes – wanna kiss her icy lips But still she’s out of reach CHORUS: To dream is my destiny, the price to pay is high The night is my only friend and the stars up in the sky She touched me with her eyes soft as an evening breeze I wanna keep them in mind... my own fragile dreams Am I crazy – chasing a phantom of my mind Is it just an imagination I don’t care – I have to walk this path alone Ooh destination unknown CHORUS: To dream is my destiny, the price to pay is high The night is my only friend and the stars up in the sky She’s like a blanket on a cold winter’s night She fills my days with joy makes my life big and bright She touched me with her eyes soft as an evening breeze I wanna keep them in mind... my own fragile dreams Princess: On a cold winter’s night... I’ll be back to be your destiny All day long the thoughts are runnin‘ through my head Can’t wait to see her again – can’t wait her to take me away Till the end of my days, I wanna keep my dreams alive... keep your dreams alive Leave this world behind, gonna take my lonely road forever and ever til the end

You...you climb on the hills But you feel the hills are too high On and on, you fall to the ground As you try to reach for the sky Are you just a piece in someone else’s game Are you just a number, are you just a name You live inside a capsule, ooh you wanna break out I watch you getting mad, I hear you scream and shout The worries of your days They keep you awake, you can’t sleep at night Pictures of life you have in your mind You’re trying so hard it never turns out right There has to be something more You gotta get down, down to the core Stand up straight, come on...break out Lose the chains...scream and shout CHORUS: Come on, hear the freedom call, like a shot in the dark, an echo in the hall Come on, it’s my freedom call, lend me a hand, catch me before I fall just before I fall...catch me! Every day of your life’s just the same Your energy fades away...it fades away Force back the tears of frustration On your way in search of salvation The chapter’s closed...make a brand new start There has to be something more You gotta get down, down to the core Stand up straight...break out CHORUS:

I stand upon the crest and take a look out to the sea The thoughts come to my mind make me want to flee Sanity fades away like water in the sand Where does this hatred come from, that I don’t understand Will this nightmare ever end, or are we victims of our heavy hand? Remaining time is short to make up our minds Do you really think, that peace is so hard to find We have to be careful with the spark that starts a fire ‘Cause these times are like we’re walking on thin wire ...like a walk on wire! Rival leaders go to war fighting the battle in the name of some god Taming the land bringing death and hunger for all people This hate’s a killer in a breedin’ frenzy that’s growin’ faster So wake up and stand up fight the beast that’s driven by fury Save the people deliver us from evil The bringer of hatred has to be eliminated! IS IT ALL IN THE HANDS OF FATE? Children on the beach they want to play in the water - but it’s black They’re takin’ what we give them so why we don’t care? We gotta give Mother Earth a little dignity we gotta leave our children somewhere to go, something to live for We’re only footsteps away from the end Dancin’ on the edge - do we know what we’re doing? IS IT ALL IN THE HANDS OF FATE? Let’s come to our senses, ‘cause it won’t be too late I don’t think, that this really has to be our fate No life’s so short, that it can’t be turned around So raise your voice - don’t live your life in the underground It’s time to end up this fight - don’t hesitate It’s time to walk into the light End up the fight - walk into the light If we don’t give up, we will live on and make this place worth living in So people join hands and let us be friends the future is ours - don’t waste it The rainbow of blackness will disappear the clouds of despair will vanish Together we stand against all the hate We got the power to win this game!
