| 1. Mea Culpa (A-Capella Version) O mi Jesu, demitte nobis debita nostra,
salva nos ab igne inferiori, perduc in caelum
Omnes animas, praesertim eas,
quae misericordiae tuae maxime indigent Sicut erat in principio
et nunc et semper et insaecula
saeculorum 2. Follow In The Cry Behind your faзade hides an indomitable
lust for power and tyranny
Taking advantage of your pendencies Fear is the doom, doom of us all
Instead of exterminating the weed
We allow it to overgrow our function All means are justified for the "djihad fi sabil Allah" I embrace you, accept my soul
I shall make my life subordinate to you
Live like your rules and laws prescribe
and follow you wherever I go Follow in the cry Hang this heretic who's indulged in unchaste thoughts
Silence him such as the laws of the vellums prescribe Pusillanimous massacres the order of the day
On behalf of power-hungry fundamentalists 3. Yield To Temptation They told you not to yield to temptation and opened their arms...
...Make your own inferences... Inscrutable chaos in my head
Inevitably
Greed will take its toll
Why
There's no place to hide
Let me free myself The anathema's driving millions
together in the pustules of our earth
Greed and self-denial the cause of
unimpeded desecration of the truth They told you not to yield to temptation
but offered you only hypocrisy and ruin The phantom of damnation
threw her coat over humanity Captive in the shackles of this indoctrination
depraved souls wished to be pure
Delight in deformity the last convulsions
are building up a bridge to a new era
The assumption of a faded supposition
Never shall I be a marionette! The embrace that smothers... 4. Silence From Afar When the fate leaves you behind
and drags me of to an unknown destination
Shall my tears shape a sea
on which your boat has to reach the area When the storm is most violent
and the horizon seems to be far away
You'll find strength to go on
and conquer the misery that wants to bring you down When silence from afar is close at hand
Our harmony becomes as elusive like time Viribus exhaustus sentio meum finem
Meam amicam viduam relinquens 5. Wings Of Illusion When the fate leaves you behind
and drags me of to an unknown destination
Shall my tears shape a sea
on which your boat has to reach the area When the storm is most violent
and the horizon seems to be far away
You'll find strength to go on
and conquer the misery that wants to bring you down When silence from afar is close at hand
Our harmony becomes as elusive like time Viribus exhaustus sentio meum finem
Meam amicam viduam relinquens 6. Beyond Me I know I'm alone, but somebody's watching me
Follows me everywhere I go
A cold flow surprised again, I shiver
The presence of something
I can hear it's breathing Leave me alone, wherever you came from
Hearing so much voices, no one's talking Running for something
Nothing, in the black of the night
Creeps around you
The invisible force that makes you crazy
I can't remember
How it feels to be warm
To be alone...
Without that fear deep inside me Icons of death float on beyond me
Whispering my name and breathing my fear The menace of insanity
Inner voices cry out for action
Defenseless as I am
Lost in the alleged paradise I'm not sure if I am here
Or elsewhere
Searching for satisfaction
Beyond the frontiers of my comprehension 7. Forlorn Hope An old man is proud
But behind his modest smile lies the grief
Only one picture of his brave son remains It seems that the vicious circle
Can never be broken through The hopeful ones gathered their strength
To achieve the apparent impossible
But all plans seem to be in vain As a soldier of Allah he's an example
For the others on his bloody way
To immortality It seems that the vicious circle
Can never be broken through
Because old wounds are reopened every time This Intifada as a device
To thwart the peace negotiations He can rely on a reward in the hereafter
Eternal paradise awaits him "The peace that was born today, gives us
all the hope that the children born today
will never know war between us,
and their mothers will know no sorrow. Allow me to end by the simple words:
Shalom, Salaam, Peace." Pugnacity
With our blood
Show no mercy
With our soul
Die for heaven
An eye for an eye
Burn to let them...
Suffer for all their actions We will not move an inch
They won't play in our hands
We will not tolerate those who defy We will not hesitate
To start an attack if
You undermine the agreement Let them suffer
Stop to let them suffer! 8. For The Time Being Once he was someone whose honesty made me believe
that we could rely on him Don't adhere to much to people who have no worth
and parts of life which don't last forever He is branded as a hypocrite,
promted by the provoked morbid will of his father For the Time Being
Be yourself, don't conform to the opinion of others
Life is too short to fall into prudence You needed lies to save your skin
You'd better take your own responsibilities Desipio
Incogitabilis I don't feel compassion anymore
You're old enough to stand up for yourself 9. Imperfect Tenses Why can't they see?
They're to blame, I can't forgive
It left a permanent mark behind,
My weakness, my strength I'm waiting for the perfect sign
To reveal what lies inside
There's no lie in trying,
Why do you fear me? Why can't you see?
There's neither blame nor forgiveness
Be strong by being susceptible,
And don't quail, your frankness is your strength
And shows their weakness I'm / Your waiting for the perfect sign
To reveal what lies inside
There's no lie in trying
Why do you fear me? Why should I fear you?
An open heart is just as confronting as honesty! Why can't I forgive?
You must stop to condemn the past Why can't this fear be my guide?
It will be your strength if you dare There's no blame in my life
Nor forgiveness for the pain I will show them!
Let them know who you are!
This is my/your perfect revelation 10. Monolith Of Doubt The ordeal has begun
To oblige the unknown, within me As I drown
Cannot remember, cannot think
As I sink, free Near the monolith of doubt
Creeps the fear
The fear to lose yourself
In the severe reflection I don't know
A flashing moment that has frozen me
My whole existence passed by
Through the trusted eyes of a mirror
But it wasn't me I could see This monolith of everything that I have been
Is vacillated and aghast
The inexorable time has taught me once again
That my features will change and macerate me See, it's me, my monolith of doubt 11. Intrinsic At night, assimilate life
In the infinite realm
Of our intrinsic side Find, the missing parts of the mind
The hidden truth behind
Our dungeon of thoughts, this labyrinth Search, it has a reason and a meaning
Remembered and repeated
A guide, not to be ignored Feel, there's so much to feel
Amnesia must confiscate an elusive link
to consciousness It's there; cause there's so much we don't know
Even our own true face
It's there, facing what we can't have Our ideals ain't true, naked and exposed
To the bareness of what's real
Boundless fantasy, becomes reality
As we breathe water and run through the sand Whispers and a scream, flying high, falling down
And a face with no features or name
Exposed to live, we can only divine
Tell me, what's your reality? 12. Emphasis The game is over, time has taught life
Open your eyes and embrace our so-called paradise
All the notions and thoughts
Devise a way to make it yours
The enigma of a reason How can life be what you want it to be
So find the emphasis in your own reality Deviate from the search with episodic glimpses
Of a spectrum no one can see or feel, nor declare No, slowly become aware life knows its prophecies
So find the emphasis in your own reality In all life you see
A sudden shifting of events
What's coincidence, what's faith
The ambiguity makes the sense of our destiny
Worth searching for
What can it induce If our being was omniscient
There's so much you'll never know, but
Your life will be what you want it to be
And so find the emphasis in your own reality. 13. My Pledge Of Allegiance She kept her beauty concealed behind a curtain of suspense
and endures her fate, molded by an ancient culture The honour wasn't allowed to be injured
She is going to live as her community expects her to
I find myself confined between furtive desires and feelings of guilt the letter:
These are my last words, I'm gonna leave you
I can't stand your narrow mindedness any longer
Forgive me... 14. Who Wants To Live Forever There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams
Yet slips away from us Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever There's no chance for us
It's all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever Who dares to love forever
Oh oo woh, when love must die But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can live forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever
Forever is our today
Who waits forever anyway? 15. Evil That Men Do Love is a razor, and I walked the line on that silver blade.
Slept in the dust with his daugter, her eyes red with slaughter of innocence.
But will pray for her.
I will call her name out loud.
I would bleed for her.
If I could only see her now. Living on a razors edge.
Balancing on a ledge.
Living on a razors edge, yeah.
Balancing on a ledge, yeah.
Balancing on a ledge, yeah.
Living on a razors edge.
Balancing on a ledge, you know.
you know. The evil that men do lives on and on.
The evil that men do lives on and on.
The evil that men do lives on and on.
The evil that men do lives on and on. Circle of fire, my baptism of joy, at an end it seems.
The seventh lamb slain, as the book of life opens before me.
But I will pray for you.
And some day I may return.
Don't you cry for me
Beyond is where I learn. Living on a razors edge.
Balancing on a ledge.
Living on a razors edge, you know.
You know. The evil that men do lives on and on.
The evil that men do lives on and on.
The evil that men do lives on and on.
The evil that men do lives on and on. Living on a razors edge.
Balancing on a ledge.
Living on a razors edge, you know.
You know. The evil that men do lives on and on.
The evil that men do lives on and on.
The evil that men do lives on and on.
The evil that men do lives on and on.
The evil...
The evil...
The evil...
The evil that men do!
The evil...
The evil...
The evil...
The evil that men do! 16. Glorifying Means Grunts:
Fantasy, misery came together
In the world of guilt and pain
A neverending game Do not reject me, I was better off without
But in my agonized existence I needed to be free Grunts:
Free my mind, free my soul.
I do not need to feel no more.
Feel no more, I'm better off this way
Alone, far from the past and its brutal face
I still feel the disgust and pain
Let me be free Chorus:
This is my life today, this is the way it went out of control
I cannot do without these glorifying means, my remedy,
These amazing illusions, fantasies Grunts:
Fantasy, not for me, like another mirror of reality,
another point of view Don't disbelieve me, I really tried to do without
But with sadness as a companion it's hard to do
Without the seduction, to become someone I'm not
But in this beautiful deception I'll overcome the night
Another day, another week, I'll overcome time Choir:
Colors seem to flow, they seem to come alive
While the sound of life is stronger than before
It's more than a dream, this is so real
I swim and I fly, I never feel more than I need, than I fear I roam, I cry, I am paralized
I can fight the world! The sense of time is not important now
Just like the past, just like right now
There's no illusion that this is for real! Grunts:
Observe me, control me
Tell me what is best, what's good
Tell me how it worked for you
Tell me how to find myself, find respect, find the strength
Facing life so pure and clean, mean and hard
All these words can't cure nor heal
