So you say you hate and you're ready to fight you're filled up with agressions you say it's too late to discuss for your right - you got violent obsessions But history shows whenever hate grows it's giving you misery and pain it's a deadly illusion to find a solution by usin' your fist - not your brain The roots of hate - when destiny's callin' the dark side of fate some conscience is fallin' the roots of hate - are small in a cave without light they grow 'till the night turns our fears into burnin' tears For billions of years since the very first date there were fights and damnations but destruction and fears never made problems fade 'cause the blade of a sword kills all patience But history shows whenever hate grows it's giving you misery and pain it's a deadly illusion to find a solution by usin' your fist - not your brain The roots of hate - when destiny's callin' the dark side of fate some conscience is fallin' the roots of hate - are small in a cave without light they grow 'till the night turns our fears into burnin' tears In the trashcan of mercy some fallen angel cries in fear and desperation while another hero dies The roots of hate - when destiny's callin' the dark side of fate some conscience is fallin' the roots of hate - are small in a cave without light they grow 'till the night turns our fears into burnin' tears

Where the rich become the beggars And the wise become the fools Some jaded heart may turn the page And start to break the rules Way beyond the distance The knaggy oaks of truth Wake thoughts of resistance And send you on the loose In the deep of the night With your face on the ground You'll learn to spit at the devil Not to get pushed around In the deep of the night When you gaze at the stars When the fogs cry "freedom" You'd better count your scars Maybe I'm sinner And maybe I ain't no saint But I know the ancient dreams Of the bounded and the chained Slavery or justice Holy preacher's fail But preservatived lust Is getting outa jail now In the deep of the night With your face on the ground You'll learn to spit at the devil Not to get pushed around In the deep of the night When you gaze at the stars When the fogs cry "freedom" You'd better count your scars.

Like the princess of time damned not to die I know we all need it a shoulder to cry on at night a place we can hide blessed are the innocent 'cause they do not know you only can miss what once ruled the show in your life then it cuts like a knife when memories arrive you should not look back and be strong to survive to give your calls to the world open your eyes - catch the grace of an angel calls to the world when you're lost in the darkness left standing in the rain alone without pleasure fighting the pain of tomorrow and dance with your sorrow you gotta hold on to your dreams and believe in the power of heartblood don't let the thief of the light escape in the night don't quit the fight follow your conscience, your soul and your pride give your calls to the world open your eyes - catch the grace of an angel calls to the world

Now that you're gone i'm trying not to cry and I'm asking my walls why our love had to die wise people say time will heal every wound - someday well, I tried to be a good guy tried harder day by day but on this bed of roses the fire - the wire didn't stay like a candle out in the rain on the wings of a prayer we've been hiding our pain our fading love - we tried to save but in vain like a candle in the rain maybe we should have tried a little bit more and maybe we had a dream worth fighting for but it's been taken away the winds of change blew so fast and passion didn't last well, I tried to be a good guy tried harder day by day but on this bed of roses the fire - the wire didn't stay like a candle out in the rain on the wings of a prayer we've been hiding our pain our fading love - we tried to save but in vain like a candle in the rain when at night the winds blew cold we used to lie awake and hold each other tight but these days are gone forever forever now like a candle out in the rain on the wings of a prayer we've been hiding our pain our fading love - we tried to save but in vain like a candle in the rain

Nameless cross on the misty rain reminds on hopes gone down the drain you - who's burried at this lonely place were proud to be a man as you lost the race or did you cry in vain did you scream for your mother but she never came dead soldier - what was your age as you died - were you still a child in the cage you were food for the guns missing in action like a billion sons with no chance to get old if you'd been a coward - you're a hero in my eyes if you've been a cold killer who believed their lies i'll pray for your soul and so I bow my head as I sit at your grave and remember the dead who died for another one's pride cemetary dawn - traces in the darkness cemetary dawn - shadows of the past cemetary dawn - faces of the pain will last all them faceless gods of war what the hell are they fighting for losers & winners - all the same victims of that vicious game or did you cry in vain did you scream for your mother but she never came dead soldiers - what was your age as you died cemetary dawn - traces in the darkness cemetary dawn - shadows of the past cemetary dawn - faces of the pain will last

I can feel a desert wind hear it howlin' in the streets tonight it's a warning noone fears and there ain't no place where we can hide strangers lost in silence empty hearts and blinded eyes dangers taste like violence tears - while conversation dies lack of communication leads to asphalt - deserts - streets of pain darkness calls the light when all the water's banned and cares are buried under sand the wind will turn into a wasteland serenader so wake up - just stop feeding dust open your minds and learn to trust it's never too late - never too late to try cages of confusion in this world of broken dreams social constitution tries to hide behind the streams lack of communication leads to asphalt - deserts - streets of pain darkness calls the light when all the water's banned and cares are buried under sand the wind will turn into a wasteland serenader so wake up - just stop feeding dust open your minds and learn to trust it's never too late - never too late to try I can feel a desert wind hear it howlin' in the streets tonight

Days of working, and years of rain a handful of hope sometimes leads to tears in rain we'll never give - no - we'll never give in we're addicted to that rush city to city - from show to show that's the only way we want to go even though the road is gettin' tough through the fire we will ride for power and glory - side by side through the fire we will ride you can beat and mistreat us but you can't take our pride we will ride well it ain't for the money that we might never see but these few hours on stage are the very best cause to be we got an aim and that's all we need for now we can make it anyhow city to city - from show to show that's the only way we want to go even though the road is getting tough through the fire we will ride for power and glory - side by side through the fire we will ride you can beat and mistreat us but you can't take our pride we will ride

Sometimes your mind is getting out of control and your soul is on the run pictures of destruction are killing your hopes beat your heart against beat your heart against the wall and lights are turning into dark and rusty wheels but tears won't stay ups and downs there are always ups and downs sometimes we act like clowns sometimes we act like heroes in the night ups and downs always ups and downs like kings but without crowns there are always ups and downs sometimes your mind is racing up to the sky and your pride is flying free pictures of construction are feeding your hopes make your face like without make your face like without fear and wheels are turning but don't you feel too safe it's just like night and day Ups and downs There are always ups and downs Sometimes we act like clowns Sometimes we act like heroes in the night Ups and downs Always ups and downs Like kings but without crowns There are always ups and downs So there's no need to give your Bread away for stone Sometimes emotions grow Where feelings can't be shown

Once water took the fire and landscapes ate the seas then preachers grew and hatred too the birth of a disease I'm afraid of new crusaders who force our freedom's fall religions still course so much pain and backs against the wall are we just too blind to see will we never learn how great this life could be why do we praise the fight tell me why can't we take the night away why must children cry can't we make this world a better place without hatred day by day why can't we finally find a way we need no heroes to protect us from our fears just by filling children's eyes with tears innocent victims of fanatics gone insane "this power will last forever" they said and millions died in vain are we just too blind to see why do we praise the fight tell me why can't we take the night away why must children cry can't we make this world a better place without hatred day by day why can't we finally find a way

They sell you sixty-nine and a thousand tales just to make your fortune in this kingdom made of glitter and tears honesty on the run afraid to touch the taken sun and the lost light a candle but don't forget you can touch the sky (just follow your heart) you can't get out - with eyes of a stranger can't get out - you'll never stand on lies so scream and shout with eyes of a stranger you'll always be blind silent scream in the night parasites try to hide behind success, glam and glory passion dies - all these lies oppression - fashion - blinded eyes and the raped tell the story but don't forget you can touch the sky (just follow your heart) you can't get out - with eyes of a stranger can't get out - you'll never stand on lies so scream and shout with eyes of a stranger you'll always be blind
