set

Maybe it's not important
If we are dead or alive
I never ever wanna listen to the sirens
I'm alive, still alive

Who says: "We are not guilty"
I say: "We never know the way it goes"

Changes - all around me, all inside my head
Changes - changing face, still remaining mad
Changes - an all day routine

Hard to enjoy the good times
Decay is what I feel
God, it's making me porous, vanish in haze
I wonder, wonder if I'm real

"Newflash under the new regulations
Non conformity will be punished by law
Relax and don't forget to unplug your TV set
Sigh no more"

For you, you are not guilty
No, no, you're not responsible at all

Changes - all around me, all inside my head
Changes - changing face, still remaining mad
Changes - an all day routine

Changes - all around me, all inside my head
Changes - changing face, still remaining mad
Changes - changing systems, still insane
Changes - but the madness will remain

Who is the man who says I'm never gonna die?
It's a lie, it's a lie
And who is the man who says I never have to sigh?
It's a lie, it's a lie

Oppression, resistance
We will never change our way
The island in my mind is growing
More and more day after day

Changes - all around me now
All inside me now
Changes - wanna cry no more
Gonna sigh no more

Gonna sign no more
Gonna sign no more

Changes - gonna sign no more
Gonna sign no more
Changes - gonna sign no more
Gonna sign no more



Rich & famous

(Hansen)

I don't believe in fame, I believe in music
I don't believe in money, I believe in the power of love
I know I got a brain and I know how to use it
I don't want no one to stick his finger in my pie

You think you put your best foot forward
But it is moved by someone else
In blind belief you follow every path that says:
"I lead you to a universe of fortune, fame and luck"

Do you really wanna be?
Rich and famous, rich and famous
Do you really wanna be?
Rich and famous now

I don't believe in rock 'n' roll illusions
I don't believe that what they say must always be the truth
I don't believe in good guys against bad guys
I just might as well say I believe in Santa Claus

You think you put your best foot forward
But it is moved by someone else
In blind belief you follow every path that says:
"I lead you to a universe of fortune, fame and luck"

Do you really wanna be?
Rich and famous, rich and famous
Do you really wanna be?
Rich and famous now

Mr. Big Shot - what is your game?
Mr. Big Shot - what is your final aim?
Now you wonder who is to blame
Mr. Big Shot - what is your final aim in life?

Rich and famous, house with two bars
Big jacuzzi, car with TV
Private airplane, furs and diamonds
Seafood cocktails, crap and bullshit

Do you really wanna be?
Rich and famous, rich and famous
Do you really wanna be?
Rich and famous now

Everybody wants to be
Rich and famous, rich and famous
Everybody wants to be
Rich and famous, rich and famous



As time goes by

(Hansen/Sielck)

Do you believe in justice
Or so called co existence?
What's wrong with politicians?
They give their best for you

The economic's growing
Some tiny holes above
A little radiation
Wake up, this planet fades

You are not watching, you're part of the show
You lost the first prize a long time ago
War - somebody's always starts again
Hate - we're getting closer to the end

As time goes by
We never seem to beat the ones who say we can't be free
As time goes by

Do you believe in money?
Do you believe in guns?
Do you trust the press, babe?
You'd better judge yourself

You are not watching, you're part of the show
You lost the first prize a long time ago
War - somebody's always starts again
Hate - we're getting closer to the end

As time goes by
We never seem to beat the ones who say we can't be free
As time goes by

The missiles are launching, the tanks are rolling
The guns are blazing, the sky turns black

War - somebody's always starts again
Hate - we're getting closer to the end

As time goes by
We never seem to beat the ones who say we can't be free
As time goes by

As time goes by - we never seem to beat the ones who say we can't be free
As time goes by - we're getting closer to the end of our ability
As time goes by - is there a place to run for shelter in a high tech war
As time goes by - can you believe and trust in god to help you from above?
As time goes by - is there a place to run for shelter in a high tech war
As time goes by - can you believe and trust in god to help you from above?



(We won't) stop the war

(Hansen/Wessel)

So now we talk about destruction
About the way that we might go
I've seen the headlines in the papers
The truth is more that we should know

Somebody wake me from this nightmare
Is this a TV horror show?
We can run and we can walk
We can sit and we can talk

But we won't stop the war, oh no

Silent whispers in the ice machine today
Calling for my brain in silent ways
No more changes in this world in which we live in
And I don't know who the guy is who's talking with the friendly grin

I never heard of any bargain
I don't know what's going on
We can shout and we can pray
It doesn't matter anyway

We won't stop the war, oh no
We won't stop the war, oh no

Somehow I might go insane
Somehow I might lose my brain
Somehow I might not even care
And somehow I never ever willing to accept the way that things are going

We can run and we can walk
We can sit and we can talk
We won't stop the war
We won't stop the war



Father and son

(Schlachter/Scheepers)

Did you ever want to worry?
Did you ever wanna have a doubt?
You wanted the best for me
Somehow things went wrong and it tore us apart

Did you ever think it was so easy?
Thought my time was running out?
Tried it how I wanted to though you did not agree
But I was calling for you

I was calling for you
Calling, calling, calling

Father, you can't hide
It's time to lose the pride someday
Take a look and see
I'm blue as I can be

In former days you made your own way
You found on easy way of life
But I'll be never satisfied to work from nine 'till five
I am heading for more

I remember what you've said
But I know I won't regret
When I try to break the rules
I'm searching for my way, my own way

Father, you can't hide
Your feelings deep inside, oh no
There's a better way
For you and me today

I can't stand it anymore, it's only you and me
We have to talk and see how things are gonna be
But all I want is peace

Father
Father
Father
Daddy

Father, now it's time
We ain't losing our minds any more
It seems so long ago
Fate will bring us hope



One with the world

(Hansen/Wessel)

Do you think there's a chance
For this world to live in unity as one?
I can try to believe
But I feel it's like a view into the sun

Blinded by the light
Everything will look so fine
But still I feel the rays are burning my soul

So you say you believe
We can change the world together if we try, I know we won't change
When it comes to the point
Do you think we reach an aim that is too high? I know we don't arrange

But I know we're all the same
When the final curtain falls
And the sighs on the way are leading us home

When I'm one with the world I am one with my mind
Forget all the fury, there's no need to cry
There's a place we all go, salvation to find
There's freedom to come when I'm one with the world and my mind

Do you feel, do you know?
There's an answer to the question when you're gone, you're not alone
You will see, we will see
Is there nothing or a better place to go? We can't go wrong

There are echoes in the wind
And they say: "Don't be afraid"
'Cause the sighs on the way are leading us home

When I'm one with the world I am one with my mind
Forget all the fury, there's no need to cry
There's a place we all go, salvation to find
There's freedom to come when I'm one with the world and my mind

One with the world
One with the world
One with the world

I am one
One with the world
One with my mind
One with my heart



Start running

(Wessel/Scheepers)

Mankind has found every treasure on earth
It stands to reason that we have got all we need
Comfort is now a condition of life
Without any sources our dream will fade away

To live a better way was our final aim
Did we ever try?

Start running

The moment of reason will somebody appear
But then it's too late to return or to stay
No single person can change the truth
We have to move forward and do it side by side

To live a better day is our final aim
And we won't stop trying

Start running
Can't you see the hangmen are coming?
Start running
Can't you see the hangmen are coming?

The things we have done to destroy our world are enough
How long will the madness remain?

We're children of the warriors
We learn from our faults
Hope is our guiding hand
Conscious is our force

Start running
Can't you see the hangmen are coming?
Start running
Can't you see the hangmen are coming?

Start running
Can't you see the hangmen are coming?
Start running
Can't you see the hangmen are coming?



Countdown

(Hansen)

The businessmen got a job to do
The eastern world is waiting too

They're sitting on a bloodstone calling you a beggar
Waiting for another deal in open cars
The presence of the men gives a bad vibration
They're counting dollar bills
And they're workin' on the final countdown, countdown

I'm sitting all around and I'm waitin' for the lyrics
They gotta be cool, gotta satisfy the critics
Sigh of warning all across the edges
Maybe too pathetic and my pencil scratches

Meanwhile X is comin' from Miami
Another perfect deal was made in open cars
I don't care 'cause I'm much too busy
I have to write my lyrics
And I'm waiting for the final countdown, countdown

It's jut a matter of time
We're only waitin' for the end of the world
And we got nothing to lose
We're only servants of the monsters we curse

It's just a matter of time
We can be sure we'll be doin' our worst
And we're waiting for the countdown

We're sittin' all around and we drink our lage,
Thanks to god we got no embargo
What is left to do when you're looking for pleasure?
Somehow we gotta lose the pressure

We're sittin' on a blood stone - worker, boss and beggar
I don't give a damn, I want my open car
God has turned to money, Jesus is a liqueur
I'd rather get my record done and party for the final countdown
Countdown

It's jut a matter of time
We're only waitin' for the end of the world
And we got nothing to lose
We're only servants of the monsters we curse
It's just a matter of time
We can be sure we'll be doin' our worst
And we're waiting for the countdown



Dream healer

(Hansen/Scheepers)

Who will creep inside your mind at night?
Who makes your wildest dream arise?
Who makes you see what you can't see?
While you're awake but in your dreams?

Out of a world we call the twilight zone, he comes
Out of a world where all your reason is a lie
Dream healer - he makes you see what you can't see
Dream healer - reflecting your identity

Shout at the morning when the red sunrise awakes
The call of reality is all you hear
Gaze at the stars when the night comes down again
Then you begin to see through all of your fears

Out of a world where you can see what is inside
Out of a world where all your reason is a lie
Dream healer - he makes you see what you can't see
Dream healer - reflecting your identity

I see red and I see blue
I see green and I see yellow, yellow lights
One day black, another day white
He's one day quiet, another day he calls my home

He's coming out
He's coming out
He's coming out
He's coming out

Listen to dreams - they always tell you the truth
Listen to dreams - it is your heart that's speaking to you
Listen, listen
To the dream healer



The spirit

(Hansen/Wessel/Scheepers)

We follow our own instincts, we're living in between
The struggle of the races continues on the scene
A million miles above us the spirit is unseen
Beyond our small horizon it's got a perfect dream

We travel through the ages, we follow our dreams
But the spirit of a free world is the final dream

The sun, the wind, and water are all we really need
We waste our time on fighting to satisfy our greed

We travel through the ages, we follow our dreams
But the spirit of a free world is the final dream
But the spirit of a free world is the final dream

We're about to lose control now, the prophecy is clear
Does it help to sigh and hope with sentimental fear?
S.O.S. - no more lifeboats here

If I could ask the maker about the master plan
Could he give an answer? Would I understand?

Our ignorance will drive us on, the world remains obscene
But the spirit of a free world is the final dream
