The Dead Ringer

All those years, I used to ring the death bell Since my maker has come back for me, I now stand here before you, to tell you all straight reflections from the life and times of the dead ringer» You're hangin' on to your life Trying so hard to understand The reasons why you have no rights You must listen to what they say You can talk, but silently Maybe soon they will tax your dreams Rulers use all their powers to play with people's lives You just wait for your break to get on this battle right Alright! Another dream is left behind Still trying to understand Why there's a damned cloud over your head Somehow you have to make it change The sun shines for everyone But in the sky a storm arrives Rulers with all their powers play with people's lives You just wait for your break to get on this battle right Unsung Hero, Someday you will lead the new Generation, but please do not become like them! No not like them! They hold the power, but it means nothing if they use it in the wrong way! Still hangin' onto your life Yet you begin to understand What makes it that you have no rights You feel like the world's gotta change, But no one seems well prepared Now's the time to achieve your hopes and dreams Rulers had all the power and toyed with people's lives You're making it the day you win this battle right Unsung Hero Soon they're gonna make you Their brand new leader, You gotta keep on trying Unsung Hero, Now that you are standing up Front and center, Be honest, be yourself So new-found hero, Today you sing the melody of truth Keep going 'cause you've hit the right note! You've hit the right note!

Day after day you live in a dream With your eyes fixed on the screen Day after day you revere your channels With your finger stuck on power You say that you love nobody 'Cause the world's so cruel You say that you need nobody But many times you cry... you cry... you cry Night after night you follow all their rules You could buy the world from your room But night after night you just cannot find sleep Good for you that you've got «holy screen» You say that you love nobody 'Cause the world's so cruel You say that you need nobody But many times you cry... you cry When you're alone, you watch the screen When you're alone, you'd like to scream The screen is like a god to you You may scream but no one will hear Holy screen Year after year you're alone with your dreams Your eyes still stuck on the screen Year after year you follow all their rules But you cannot buy love from your room Someday you'll have to love someone Though the world is so cruel Since you were young you've had no one And so many times you cry... you cry When you're alone, you watch the screen When you're alone, you want to scream When you're alone, nobody'll hear When you're alone, may as well scream Unholy screen

Let me tell you this simple story 'Bout people who really love glory Let me tell you that I am worried 'Cause not long ago they were just like me I'm tellin' you You won't live eternally And your way won't get you free So keep your feet right on the ground They're being betrayers, they follow the wave What happened to the children of the grave We won't follow we'll save our courage To do what we want with feelings and rage! I'm tellin' you, I'm tellin' you You won't live eternally And your way won't get you free So keep your feet right on the ground You won't live eternally And your way won't get you free So keep your feet right on the ground Let me tell you the end of the story They sure look well but they might feel guilty Let me confess that I'm still worried That's why I'm just trying to stay the real me I'm tellin' you, I'm tellin' you You won't live eternally And your way won't get you free So keep your feet right on the ground We won't live eternally Yet there's hope for you and me One day we'll all become as one Become as one

Now that they're all sound asleep My Friend and I are going to meet Since the day I was born no one would ever keep Those promises that always sounded so sweet There's no one in this world I can trust but you Cause it's you I want, it's you I need Only you, I do live for... Clown» I could live without my mother I could live without my father But how can I live without my clown? Often I ask him in my mirror He always gives me the same answer You cannot live without your clown My mother treats me like a stranger Since she got me this new mentor But can I live without his guile? Often he looks at me and whispers If you want to we could go further So stick with me I'll treat you nice Oh they're always laughing at me But my clown stands by me When I'm scared and worried He will comfort me Hang on, we will reach for the sky Keep on, we're about to fly Ride on, we're getting way up high Come on, trust me! We'll never die! Yes I could live without me brother I sure could live without my sister But I just can't live without my clown

He's rocking his chair With nobody around him He is in despair Perhaps they've forgotten So he waits with tears on his cheeks Hoping they'll come see him for a while Maybe they'll come... Will they all come? He feels in the air An angel around him He'll pretend he's not there Still hoping they'll come see him Yet he has been fair with them Why don't they come see him for a while Maybe they're gone... Could they be gone? He stands up off his chair Though it's so hard for him He's not ready to go yet So the angel says to him You have always been fair with them You gotta follow me now and when they come They'll say he's gone... Too late he's gone! Why don't we get closer to the elders Knowing time won't stand still for the reaper So he stays there reliving his past He stays there wondering why they won't come He feels so forsaken! Why don't we get closer to the elders Knowing time won't stand still for the reaper He stays there Reliving his past He stays there Hoping for someone to talk with He stays there Asking why they wouldn't come Too late The angel has come Sorry I'm gone Yes I'm gone So long I'm gone Damned! He's gone!

On a pale endless night, winds seem to swirl straight from hell I wouldn't want to do it this time, but rat blood for me is no longer fine Wild thoughts are ravaging my brain, under the moonlight I can see your veins You think that you've known fear before! My friend! You're in for some more! You still don't know, you may become my prey! Sure I would cry, but I ain't got tears in my eyes Sure I should cry, 'cause my teeth do cut like knives Sure I could cry, as you may not live to see the light I'm dead as the night, and the dead rule the night I can't look at the sun, and I don't need the rain, to wash all my sins away I just need a break, I don't mean to inflict pain I just wanna know if I'm going insane Am I going insane? Am I insane? Like long sharp knives, second thoughts are carving me up I must be the only one, who feels sad all night long I've got to find my real aim, before I make you feel pain I think that I've been strong so far, but remorse is striking me to the core! I still don't know, if tonight I'm gonna slay! Sure I would cry, but I ain't got tears in my eyes Sure I should cry, 'cause my teeth do cut like knives Sure I could cry, as you may not live to see the light I'm dead as the night, and the dead rule the night But may they rule the night Yet! They can't stand the light My time's running short, 'cause darkness is going My coffin's calling back for me...

There is a time in our life when we have to choose between the easy and the hard way to fulfill our dreams.

You can't afford to lose this game You're just looking for the quick fix! You have no time for all your friends They are too slow or too boring for you You got no respect for your native land Nothing but you and only you! You don't care, but you will find Those shades you wear, are makin' you blind Don't forget your friends Before you regret Because you'll regret One day you'll regret «Good things, they say, happen to those who wait...» You want to climb higher and higher You've got to be the star, for you it's only fair Glory might taste that much better If you would only share! You wouldn't care, but now you find Those shades you wear, have made you blind Don't forget your friends Before you regret Because you'll regret One day you'll regret Don't forget your friends Before you regret Because you'll regret Nothing but regrets!

(Faithful attachment to the earth) There's no tomorrow, my fate she told me She took with her my chance to live And now, she wants to take my soul She wants to take my soul Too much sorrow, my fate she told me She just stole my chance to give Will she possess my soul? Why have I got to go, tell me Where do I need to go? Like a flying arrow, I'm swaying in the wind And I don't even know where I am going Maybe I'll strike the tree that'll save me with its sap The sap of life... I see a rainbow, is my mind fading? And I don't know if I'm still lucid She begs me for my soul, where have I got to go? Won't you tell me, Why have I got to go so helplessly? They are tellin' me lies 'Cause I know I'm gonna die Forget about my pain And not going insane Suddenly I am flying as a bird I'm seeing all the events of my life I feel an attraction, they want me to stay Sorry! It's time for me to go anyway There is my way There's no tomorrow, my fate she told me She took with her my last chance to live Yet she didn't take my soul, Now I can see you all...

You say you want more And I'm starting to worry You say you want war Sorry, that's not my way You say we need war In spite of the evil it creates You say we need more Haven't we always had all the breaks Have you ever thought about how the world could be Don't you ever think twice Haven't you ever seen all my eyes still see It is not so nice What are we waiting for? Is that all you have in mind I'm oh! so sick of war Enough destruction of mankind Have you ever thought about how the world could be Don't you ever think twice Haven't you ever seen all my eyes still see It is not so nice No more war, no more war No more war, no more war We want to live again And we won't fight in vain 'Cause in our souls, We just want peace, peace! Can't you realize how stupid you can be Don't you ever think twice Haven't you ever seen the pain, the misery Someone's gotta pay the price No more war, no more war No more war, no more war We want to live again And we won't fight in vain 'Cause in our souls, We just want peace No more war, no more war No more war, no more war

People of the land claim that they care They just keep on screaming about kings But many of us try reaching for the stairs To the throne and rule over all earthlings We had better get along Together we'll be so strong Though masters of the land swear that they care Like puppeteers they excel at pullin' strings But any simple man goes sayin' rulers beware! He who lives by the sword dies agonizing We had better get along Together we'll be so strong United we stand Divided we fall United we stand Divided we fall United-Divided United-Divided United-Divided United-Divided We fall! All of us we have to really care Though we're different we all live for the same thing Don't you feel something good's in the air Instead of crying, raise your fist and sing! We had better get along Together we'll be so strong People just got to hold on United we can't go wrong United we stand Divided we fall United we stand Divided we fall We won't fall!
