Oh! I know we’ve always been asking ourselves How do we hatch out of eggs or of shells? Me and the birds and the flowers and trees Out of the oceans, it’s hard to believe (Oh no) where do we come from? (Oh no) where will we go? (This is) this is the riddle (we don’t know) we don’t know Riddles of descent and our mankind Answers come slowly to shatter our minds Where do we come from? It isn’t quite clear When did we first once appear? Might not be here Oh! If we continue the way that we choose We’re not secure if we win or we lose The fire keeps burning inside of our heads Keeping us weighted like iron and lead (Oh no) where do we come from? (Oh no) where will we go? (This is) this is the riddle (we don’t know) we don’t know Riddles of descent and our mankind Answers come slowly to shatter our minds Where do we come from? It isn’t quite clear When did we first once appear? Might not be here So come on you people this is our chance Because we’ve had this success We hold the future in our hands To obtain this mighty progress Can we go on without a sorrow? For our life we beg, steal and borrow In a world that won’t stop tomorrow Filled with joy and restraint and horror Riddles of descent and our mankind Answers come slowly to shatter our minds Where do we come from? It isn’t quite clear When did we first once appear? Riddles of descent and our mankind Answers come slowly to shatter our minds Where do we come from? It isn’t quite clear When did we first once appear? Might not be here

There’s a haze upon the water And the smoke, it hides the land A full moon is shining And it’s time to take a stand We’ll come We’ll see We’ll take the victory One night in hell Then all is well We’ll come We’ll see We’ll take the victory One night in hell Then all is well Then you see the torture Could it be a crime? This humiliating justice Puts indifference in their minds We’ll come We’ll see We’ll take the victory One night in hell Then all is well We’ll come We’ll see We’ll take the victory One night in hell Then all is well Tear down the houses Burn down the fields The wind blows the ashes Over the hills We’ll come We’ll see We’ll take the victory One night in hell Then all is well We’ll come We’ll see We’ll take the victory One night in hell Then all is well We’ll come We’ll see We’ll take the victory One night in hell Then all is well We’ll come We’ll see We’ll take the victory One night in hell Then all is, all is well

There I was completely wasting, out of work and down All inside it’s so frustrating as I drift from town to town Feel as though nobody cares if I live or die So I might as well begin to put some action in my life Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law So much for the golden future, I can’t even start I’ve had every promise broken, there’s anger in my heart You don’t know what it’s like, you don’t have a clue If you did you’d find yourselves doing the same thing too, yeah Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law! You don’t know what it’s like! Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law!

We all thought that we’re rebels We all thought that we’re fine Convinced that we can live forever And all the power in our minds Oh, no we are not like angels Oh, no we can’t give you hope Can’t show the face behind the cover Afraid you’re falling down the slope (When you find yourself alone) Can’t get a piece of the action (And there’s no one left to take you down) (Be the) king of kill Keep your iron will Got to live forever Give us the thrill You move very nimble forward You move creeping by my side There’s not a chance for your enemy There’s not a perfect place to hide Behind the doors and the windows Behind every single wall You sense always where the wind blows You know you got to win it all (When you find yourself alone) Can’t get a piece of the action (And there’s no one left to take you down) (Be the) king of kill Keep your iron will Got to live forever Give us the thrill King of kill Keep your iron will Got to live forever Give us the thrill The time has come You have risen from defeat But not yet beaten Till your rival You shall meet Behind the gallows Appears a silhouette One chance of vengeance Is all that you will get King of kill Keep your iron will Got to live forever Give us the thrill King of kill Keep your iron will Got to live forever Give us the thrill (King of kill) (King of kill) (King of kill) (King of kill) (King of kill) (King of kill) (King of kill) King of kill... yeah

Far over the hills and far over the ocean There is a place of absolute devotion We have the power and we have the silence So we can recover from evil and violence And in control we heal our soul From the mountains to the sea Where the light can shine on me Where the eagles in the sky Find their place to die Hear now the story, they told us a rumor Of power and glory and black hearted humor Beyond the curtain of merciful graceness You bought off your friends cause You can’t give them kindness So in control you heal your soul From the mountains to the sea Where the light can shine on me Where the eagles in the sky Find their place to... die... If we return to heaven or wherever we come from Our destiny lies hidden like the clouds can hide the sun The only thing that matters is there’s something we can hold That gives us all the power to become the wise and old (Oh... oh... oh... oh...) (From the mountains to the sea) (Where the light can shine on me) (Where the eagles in the sky) (Find their place to die) From the mountains to the sea Where the light can shine on me Where the eagles in the sky Find their place to die From the mountains to the sea Where the light can shine on me Where the eagles in the sky Find their place to die

Here we are again It’s time to say goodbye Remember me my friend We’ll meet us in a while It’s just a promise but you will remember well These are the words I have to tell Time will make all our dreams come true forever Together we cry for the moon And time, wherever you are, I will be calling If time should be lost, it won’t be soon Out in the world And out in the cold Hear our message And remember what we’ve told It’s just a promise but you will remember well These are the words we have to tell Time will make all our dreams come true forever Together we cry for the moon And time, wherever you are, I will be calling If time should be lost, it won’t be soon Tell where you are! Tell me when you coming home! Will it be too long? Maybe I don’t wanna go! It’s just a promise but you will remember well These are the words we have to, we have to tell Time will make all our dreams come true forever Together we cry for the moon And time, wherever you are, I will be calling If time should be lost, it won’t be soon Time will make all our dreams come true forever Together we cry for the moon And time, wherever you are, I will be calling If time should be lost... it won’t be soon...

When you’re in trouble And when you feel pain You hear it over And over again That demon inside you He tries to persuade It’s such a tragedy When it’s too late Over the rainbow Far beyond the clouds There’s always something But you can’t reach out It’s sometimes hard for you To overcome You feel so much better After it’s done Don’t be so lazy And don’t be a fool You are so stubborn As stubborn as a mule Over the rainbow Far beyond the clouds There’s always something But you can’t reach out Follow the fire Hold on to your dreams And with desire You will find the means Over the rainbow Far beyond the clouds There’s always something But you can’t reach out Follow the fire Hold on to your dreams And with desire You will find the means Over the rainbow Far beyond the clouds There’s always something But you can’t reach out Follow the fire Hold on to your dreams And with desire You will find the means (Oh... oh... oh... oh...) (Oh... oh... oh... oh...) (Oh... oh... oh... oh...)

Don’t want it, don’t need it Be pissed off, or cheated I never hurt my friends I tell you my dreams And my secrets, my sins I know it’s in good hands with you Don’t want it, don’t need it To see what I believe in We falsify the truth Decision, submission You know that it sometimes hurts To be the foolish one Believe in the power of love That comes from the heaven above A savior from heaven, not hell We needn’t be under his spell... Go onwards, go our way We’re learning from yesterday We have to make mistakes I often think of you I know that you do it too This is the bond we justify Believe in the power of love That comes from the heaven above A savior from heaven, not hell We needn’t be under his spell... Believe in the power of love That comes from the heaven above A savior from heaven, not hell We needn’t be under his spell Believe in the power of love That comes from the heaven above... A savior from heaven, not hell We needn’t be under his spell... Oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh... oh... One lonely day in the city One lonely day in town It seems like there’s no pity There’s coldness all around I’m in the wrong direction I dreamt that no one cares And there’s a strong selection It’s time to be aware I’m feeling so bare Children of the sun Shine your light down here There’s a shadow falling Shows our darkest fears In a world of wonders That we knew before Lead us from the darkness To an open door We all need conversation Somebody break the ice Lead us from isolation And give us good advice That shows us all the blindness And shows us your disgust We are losing hold of kindness It’s something we can bust You’re all we can trust Children of the sun Shine your light down here There’s a shadow falling Shows our darkest fears In a world of wonders That we knew before Lead us from the darkness To an open door Oh... oh... Oh... oh... I want to fly away I’m fine since we are free We see the light of the day Save us from misery We’ve got the right direction We now know that you care And of your grand affection We all should be aware Children of the sun Shine your light down here There’s a shadow falling Shows our darkest fears In a world of wonders That we knew before Lead us from the darkness To an open door... Oh...

Look me in the eyes, there’s something to regret We don’t know how to go ahead Close the door to keep out the light Don’t deny yourself this simple right Something in the air, something we don’t know Is it just a shelter to hide us from the flow? Just for a moment, we let the children die If there’s a reason, no one knows just why Just for a moment, we see it on TV If there’s a reason, it’s not the one for me Something’s in the air and if we only could take care A thousand questions and we need to be aware Take the easy way ‘cause no one’s got to know Are we too gutless to revolt against the flow? (Oh...) there’s no place left to hide (Oh...) there’s only deep inside Just for a moment, we let the children die If there’s a reason, no one knows just why Just for a moment, we see it on TV If there’s a reason, it’s not the one for me On and on, the thought goes round in my mind On and on, is this a part of the destiny of mankind? Just for a moment, we let the children die If there’s a reason, no one knows just why Just for a moment, we see it on TV If there’s a reason, it’s not the one for me Just for a moment, we let the children die If there’s a reason, no one knows just why Just for a moment, we see it on TV If there’s a reason, it’s not the one for me
