DOWN - COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN

Man and machine - the evil of a dream
It's a necessary cut of the production zone
Man and machine - it's a dissident team
And it's gonna be all over when a fuse is blown

We humans fight against the cyber trash
Machines are loaded high
Computerized - the tide we have to turn
Robotic clash on section nine

We're not gonna slave away
Machines are not the law
And we're gonna praise the day
When humans take it all

[CHORUS]

Rise up and fight inside the standby-zone
The sentinels electrified
Man to man against the fatal drones
We escalate to DEFCON FIVE

[BRIDGE]

[CHORUS]


2. Private Eye

[Music: Dirkschneider/Kaufmann - Words: Dirkschneider/Kaufmann]

I'm always watching you - my secret eye
No chance to hide away - I'm not that blind
No matter what you do - it's watching you
I'll be your second mind - controlling you

So don't forget - you're not alone
I will command you - one and all

‘cause I'm your private eye
Your private eye
‘cause I'm your private eye
Your private eye

Electro magnify - the metal eye
Corruption's rectified - a legal crime
Invading privacy - with hidden force
Imprinted on the screen - and no remorse

[BRIDGE]

[CHORUS]

I will be everywhere - eye in the sky
All actions will be saved - no matter why
I will manipulate - defy and lie
Recordings will go on - until you die

[BRIDGE]

[CHORUS]


3. The Dawn Of The Gods

[Music: Dirkschneider/Kaufmann - Words: Dirkschneider/Kaufmann]

Tons of steel - it's how we feel
It's resurrection
Million ways to win the race
We always tease you

Boiling sound - solid ground
Is what we stand for
All the sins will take you in
We always please you

Hail the metal
Law for one and all
Hail the metal

It's the dawn of the gods
We're always fighting for the holy man
Dawn of the gods - raising high and high
It's the dawn of the gods
We're always fighting for the holy man
Dawn of the gods - breaking up the sky

Blazing fire - we walk the wire
The right direction
Crazy days is how it pays
We’ll never lose you

So keep in mind - eruptive signs
Of insurrection
We're here to serve what you deserve
We'll never fool you

[BRIDGE]

[CHORUS]

The fear and the terror of mutant mercenary filth
Deceivers of truth - betrayers of faith
Screaming crimson skies bursting forth their energies
Searing scorching flames - the dawning of the gods

[BRIDGE]

[CHORUS]


4. Silent Cry

[Music: Dirkschneider/Kaufmann/Gianola - Words: Dirkschneider/Kaufmann]

Dancing in the daylight - all just been so fine
And heartbeats keep on going - all the time
Don't you hear the calling - don't you see the falling
All the cries
Can't you get the warning - how the pain is dawning
See the signs

When eyes don't see - and hands don't touch
It's all been a pack of lies
When hearts don't feel - it's all too much

It's just the sound of a silent cry
Just the sound of a silent cry

Crying in the moonlight - darkness closing in
I fear for the heartbeats - wondering
If we come together - is it so much better
I don't know
Why are we not trying - ending all the crying
Giving hope

[BRIDGE]

[CHORUS]


5. Like A Lion

[Music: Dirkschneider/Kaufmann - Words: Dirkschneider/Kaufmann]

I had a dream today - it's telling me
It's time to leave the older days
This life goes on for you and me
Gonna pay the price
No matter how - no matter what I do
So now I'll decide

Just take me to a better world
The only way I know
Sometimes I think
That's not enough

No matter how - I'm gonna die like a lion
I wanna cry - I wanna cry like a lion

I see the picture now - on different days
There is no need for other ways
No more a fool - I've got the tools
For the here and now
Another face - another fearless heart
To rise from the crowd

[BRIDGE]

[CHORUS]


6. Black Heart

[Music: Dirkschneider/Kaufmann - Words: Dirkschneider/Kaufmann]

Black is the colour - icy and cold
It is the power - forever wrong
All the burning inside - all the other rotten ways
Blinded minds - all the time - it happens all again

You know we all need some friends
To save this broken world
The freedom we will defend
Don't need a devil - don't need a devil inside

Black heart - dark mind
The seeds of evil will grow in time
Black heart - dark mind
Hail the devil and bless the crime

Over and over - the stories' been told
Whole generations - have been sold
All the wrong directions - paid with innocence and fear
Danger times - twisted crimes - revenge is always near

[BRIDGE]

[CHORUS]

Hail - hail,.....

[CHORUS]


7. Network Nightmare

[Music: Dirkschneider/Kaufmann - Words: Dirkschneider/Kaufmann]

You're gonna drown out
While you're within the net
A megatronic murder
Upon the world wide web

My mind is 'read all memory“
Your access is denied
A massive infestation
Infected RAM inside

I smile - while I'm infecting your veins
My style - I'm Dr. No I'm delivering the blow

I'm your network nightmare
I'm your network nightmare

I'll powersurge the virus
Directly to your brains
A gigabotic meltdown
Manic - cold - insane

I activate the relay
The master of the code
Expect hard driven lessons
All systems overload

[BRIDGE]

[CHORUS]


8. Animal Instinct

[Music: Dirkschneider/Kaufmann/Wienhold - Words: Dirkschneider/Kaufmann]

I don't wanna be another retro-man
I don't wanna be no part of your plans
I don't wanna be no diamond king
I just wanna pull the detonation pin

I won't give up a life of sin
You'll never tame the beast within
You can't abuse what I've got in here
My animal instinct is what you fear

And I howl - and I prowl
I am a raptor in time
And I howl - and I prowl
I am unbroken - creature of the wild

I've got an animal instinct
I've got an animal instinct

I don't wanna lead nor even dominate
Not a top-dog leader that only devastates
You know I'm free and I stand so proud
My animal anger - I shout it aloud

[BRIDGE]

[CHORUS]

Animal - animal - animal - animal - instinct
Animal - animal - animal - animal - instinct

[CHORUS]


9. Dancing With An Angel

[Music: Dirkschneider/Kaufmann - Words: Dirkschneider/Kaufmann]

Take my hand before I go
We'll never be alone
Look at all the lucky days
And places we have gone

Let me say a single word
A million other ways
But all I wanna see is now
A smile upon your face

Like I'm dancing - dancing with an angel
Like I'm dancing - never danced before
Like I'm dancing - dancing with an angel
Like I'm dancing - a dream I'm dancing on

Gave my heart into your hands
We are evermore
How can I repay you now
For all the years and more

All I know so deep inside
We will never fade
So let me take you by the hand
And lead you to the dance

[CHORUS]

Still I'm dancing through a dream with an angel
I don't wanna lose a part of your heart
Still you give me all the worlds I believe in
And I know that we will never part

[CHORUS]


10. Hard To Be Honest

[Music: Dirkschneider/Kaufmann/Gianola - Words: Dirkschneider/Kaufmann]

I played the game - I broke the rules
The truth is always cruel
It's not for me to win or lose
This one will be on you

Sometimes it's hard to be tough
And play this way so rough
I give it straight - you know why
I want it all - I'll take it all

I don't know why - don't wanna hide
Don't want forever lie
Now it's time for all of us
So let's break free
No matter what you say

You know it's hard to be honest
It's hard not to lie
You know it's hard to be honest
It's hard not to lie

All hail the truth and damn the lies
There's so much we can do
Now it's on you to deal the cards
The joker breaks the rules

So take a look at what you see
The mirror never lies
The time has come to say farewell
So leave it all behind you all

[BRIDGE]

[CHORUS]

No matter how - you found it out
It's time to give the truth
I’ve seen it all - in black or white
The hardest thing to do

[BRIDGE]

[CHORUS]


11. Unknown Traveler

[Music: Dirkschneider/Kaufmann/Gianola - Words: Dirkschneider/Kaufmann]

I've passed the lonely gates of Babylon
I've touched the ancient pyramids
I've seen the golden face of Taj Mahal
I've felt the sea of Atlantis

I've counted bricks along the China Wall
I've rode the Slopes Of Kathmandu
I've tasted all the rocks of Everest
To the mountains of the moon

I've seen it all
Through time and matter
No more retreat and no more defeat
So hear the call
The final battle
I'm under attack - I want to come back

I am the unknown traveler - always on the move
I am the unknown traveler
I am the unknown traveler - always on the move
I am the unknown traveler

I've joined the table back in Camelot
Looked for the wood for Merlin's wand
I've traveled places I've been everywhere
I've traveled times so on and on

[BRIDGE]

[CHORUS]
