Standing at the crossroad, waiting for the storm I can feel it coming on the wings of dawn For many years it seems I’ve walked alone Down the long way home...

I don’t believe in tomorrows – you’ll never change my point of view My fears and sorrows running down my spine, I tell you I watch my people dying, I watch them go, I don’t know where... The skies are crying, washing out their blood into the The river runs away (Turns red and looks like vein) The river shows the way (Away from bloody rain) (River of pain) The gods of war are calling, I hear their voices in the wind The sun is falling – another day is gone, another sin I see the star of sadness is touching bodies on the ground... Somebody’s madness just took my life and turned it upside down! The river runs away (Turns red and looks like vein) The river shows the way (Away from bloody rain) (River of pain) we’re all betrayed and sold (River of pain) my land is dead and cold (River of pain) when I close my eyes (River of pain) the spirit never dies (River of pain) My time has come I’m leaving, my mind is tearing me apart I wanna die believing in common sense and wisdom of my heart The river runs away (Turns red and looks like vein) The river shows the way (Away from bloody rain) (River of pain) we’re all betrayed and sold (River of pain) my land is dead and cold (River of pain) when I close my eyes (River of pain) the spirit never dies (River of pain) “They forget that they are human like us. They forget that what they have done to us, we can do to them. They forget. Well, I won’t let them forget! I won’t let them! I’m going there! I’m going to their town, to their home, and I will meet you there!”

Every empire was raised by the slave Built through the ages, destroyed in a day Solid walls – your golden cage Now it’s time to turn the page... Tearing down – we’re gonna burn it To the ground – you’ll never learn it Watch us now – we’re tearing down the world, tearing down the world Brother to brother, father to son No one recalls when the madness began – and nobody cares! Can you live your life in hell? Can’t you hear the warning bell...? Tearing down – we’re gonna burn it To the ground – you’ll never learn it Watch us now – we’re tearing down the world, tearing down the world Tearing down – by bits and pieces To the ground – we’ll never miss it Watch us now – we’re tearing down the world, tearing down the world Water’s like acid and heaven’s like hell Whole world’s like paper and steel What should we do if it won’t ring a bell? Tell me just what do you feel? Drink out the ocean and stare down the stars Burn down the forest and steal food from the hungry You made it so far Tell me just what do you... feel? Tearing down – we’re gonna burn it To the ground – you’ll never learn it Watch us now – we’re tearing down the world... Tearing down – by bits and pieces To the ground – we’ll never miss it Watch us now – we’re tearing down the world, oh, oh

The one who’s watching over my shoulder – get a life! I see your arms are nailed to the cross, but your eyes are so alive I never thought you’re lying but now it’s turned you round and round... So many hearts are dying – you let them down Over and over again... Over and over again... (Can’t reach you, can’t meet you) I give you everything I’ve got (You hear me, don’t leave me) It is my message to you, God (Can’t see you, can’t feel you) I’ve lost just everything I’ve got (Forget me, you’ve left me) It is my message to you, God... We’re busy burning witches the way we learned from you We’re good at killing creatures, so teach us something new (come on!) One of your own creations is kind of hard to understand Oh You, freak of nature (freak of nature) – just tell me why did you create us men? Traces on the floor, I can’t hear the door closing me Right inside my dream, it’s a sign from him – let me be Sunrise through the dust – future is the past – chasing me Shadows on the wall, voices down the halls – calling me Over and over and over and over again... Over and over again (Can’t reach you, can’t meet you) I give you everything I’ve got (You hear me, don’t leave me) It is my message to you, God (Can’t see you, can’t feel you) I’ve lost just everything I’ve got (Forget me, you’ve left me) It is my message to you (Can’t reach you, can’t meet you) I give you everything I’ve got (You hear me, don’t leave me) It is my message to you, God (Can’t see you, can’t feel you) I’ve lost just everything I’ve got (Forget me, you’ve left me) It is my message to you, God (Can’t reach you, can’t meet you) I give you everything I’ve got (You hear me, don’t leave me) It is my message to you, God (Can’t see you, can’t feel you) I’ve lost just everything I’ve got (Forget me, you’ve left me) It is my message to you (You God) (...)

When the night is calling... I shut another door Celebrating loneliness I’ve never known before... I miss a place to call my own... It’s a long way home... In my open prison cell, here’s everything I’ve got I disappeared in silence, every word I’ve said is not And now I’m lost and all alone... It’s a long way home... It’s a long road, and even longer for the blind And I’ve been searching way too long Still I can’t find the place where I belong... It’s a long way home... You see me suffer on my knees (I wish I knew just what it means) You watch us come, you watch us go (he tells me something I don’t know) You’ve set me up, I thought I’m free (just tell me where you wanna be?) Another step and I’ll be gone (what you will do can be undone...) (Long road) but even longer for the blind And I’ve been searching way too long... (I can’t find) the place where I belong It’s a long way home... (Long road) but even longer for the blind And I’ve been searching way too long... (I can’t find) the place where I belong It’s a long way home...

You shut the door, you let me hang myself You’ve turned your back on me and now I’m gone... So listen, ask yourself, can you undo what I’ve done?... You told me lies, you’ve tried to put me down You showed me hell because that’s where I’ve been I hope you happy now – I didn’t like what I have seen Yes, I do appreciate You’re the one who gave this kind of fate to me But I can’t wait until... (Time will tell) you’re on your feet so far, but only (Time will tell) how long it’s gonna last! (Time will tell) you’re reaching for the star, but only (Time will tell) if shadows from the past will bring you hell... You just can’t get enough, you broke my heart... You are so rich now you can ski uphill I tear my life apart – you never ask me how I feel... Life is going down the drain You got pleasure, all I got is pain You’re driving me insane! (Time will tell) you’re on your feet so far, but only (Time will tell) how long it’s gonna last! (Time will tell) you’re reaching for the star, but only (Time will tell) if shadows from the past will bring you hell... (Time will tell) you’re on your feet so far, but only (Time will tell) how long it’s gonna last! (Time will tell) you’re reaching for the star, but only (Time will tell) ...if shadows from the past... will bring you hell... (Time will tell) (Time will tell) how long it’s gonna last! (Time will tell) you’re reaching for the star, but only (Time will tell) if shadows from the past will bring you hell... (Time will tell) you’re on your feet so far, but only (Time will tell) how long it’s gonna last! (Time will tell) you’re reaching for the star, but only (Time will tell) if shadows from the past will bring you hell... (Rest your weary head my son, all your trouble’s just begun) (Close your eyes, unchain your heart – help you God...) (Full of hate as you have always been) (Drop your gun ‘cause anger is the sin...) (Rest your weary head my son, all your trouble’s just begun)

White dress, torture in disguise Pointing flashlight right into my eyes Sharp pain every single night Every day I fight a hopeless fight And look, over thirty years I’ve wished that I was dead Somebody help me out, because I’m tied down to my bed... (I’m looking for) someone to release me (I’m waiting for) an angel from my dream (I’m talking to) to all of you around me (I’m asking you) tell me, can you hear my silent scream? (Dear God) gave me such a life full of pain (It’s sharp just like a knife) I can think, but I cannot tell What’s life to you, to me is hell I hear the storm outside – first drop just hit the roof I’d die to see the rain, but I can’t ???? move (I’m looking for) someone to release me (I’m waiting for) an angel from my dream (I’m talking to) to all of you around me (If living is my cross, so let me die or crucify me now) (But tell me, can you hear my silent scream?) Time stays still (time stays still) Only I can feel (only I can feel) When the darkness will appear (when the darkness will appear) Every day (every day) I wished away Oh please, please take away my fear... (I’m looking for) someone to release me (I’m waiting for) an angel from my dream (I’m talking to) to all of you around me (I’m asking you) tell me, can you hear my silent scream? Yeah, yeah, yeah

Look, broken moon shines through the clouds so restless Cold, even light just touched the hill of sadness (...Flashback...) it all happens again Traces of tears will be washed off by rain (Over, over) I look I’m going down, but you can’t see anything (Over, over) (The king is dead – long live the king!) I’m on the same path to the cross – as last time They’ll crucify me once again You’ve broken my heart, as you did it before Judas I’ll wait, come and knock at my door... (Over, over) I look I’m going down, but you can’t see anything (Over, over) (The king is dead – long live the king!) (Over, over) I look I’m going down, but you can’t see anything (Over, over) (The king is dead – long live the king!) Again! It was a long way home...

Restless Restless Restless, restless Restless, restless I have this feeling that I've never been alone No matter where I go to face another day Can't break away this present time I call my own Can't see no changes, just a else aid I pray No matter how I try I just can't break the spell I'm goin' back to heaven but they're goin' back to hell Restless, restless Nowhere to hide and nowhere to run Restless, restless Who will remember my name when I'm gone? Restless I've been faces I could choose any which way Somebody's watchin' and somebody will make you stay I know the inner crier makes me insecure I love to hear you, babe, but who can find the door No matter how I try I just can't break the spell I'm goin' back to heaven but they're goin' back to hell Restless, restless Nowhere to hide and nowhere to run Restless, restless Who will remember my name when I'm gone? Who can drive when the damage is done? Now on the stage make a wish and it's lorn Restless, restless Who will remember my name when I'm gone? Restless Restless, restless Nowhere to hide and nowhere to run Restless, restless Who will remember my name when I'm gone? Restless, restless Nowhere to hide and nowhere to run Restless, restless Who will remember my name when I'm gone? Restless
