I can see clearly now I see the tension grow I see riot shields and crowd control Depressed faces haunt the streets Nobody cares for people's needs Violence will soon explode Frustration reaches overload The revolution is imminent We are in the year of discontent Vision 2020 vision A vision a vision Vision 2020 vision A vision a vision Vision 2020 vision A vision a vision Vision 2020 vision We can see clearly now We see the tension grow We are not prepared to bow Barricades pile up in the streets All fed up with senseless tweets Marauding hordes fight to survive Looting will become a way of life The revolution is imminent We are in the year of discontent Vision 2020 vision A vision a vision Vision 2020 vision A vision a vision Vision 2020 vision A vision a vision Vision 2020 vision Vision 2020 vision A vision a vision Vision 2020 vision A vision a vision Vision 2020 vision A vision a vision Vision 2020 vision A vision a vision It needs a clear mind With a clear vision It needs a strong hand For a strong decision It needs a clear mind And a 2020 vision Forward forward never stop A clear vision for the future Forward forward never stop The eyes focused senses sharpened No giving up until they drop I see clearly now Who is friend or foe I see lemmings waiting in a row Leaders of the new vision Their disciples obey their sick decisions Kill the rich and kill the poor Soon they'll come knocking at your door The revolution is imminent We are in the year of discontent Vision 2020 vision A vision a vision Vision 2020 vision A vision a vision Vision 2020 vision A vision a vision Vision 2020 vision A vision a vision A vision a vision A vision a vision A vision a vision A vision a vision A vision a vision

Flies are everywhere And roaches the size of rats Suck on rats the size of cats And cats play with corpses Rotting away in ruins Marauding hordes of droogs control the streets Welcome to the blackout Welcome to the siege Welcome to the breakdown The collaps (is) within reach Wild youth on a rampage There is panic in the streets No respect for nothing The sound of body beats Without a prior warning They spray a deadly haze Acid assaults Leave eyes without a face Welcome to the blackout Welcome to the siege Welcome to the breakdown The collaps within reach Welcome to the blackout Welcome to the siege Welcome to the breakdown The collaps within reach Hour zero Resurrection of old rules Moral collapse An empire of fools Infested with pollution The city slowly dies The dust of rotting memories Swallows the silent cries Welcome to the blackout Welcome to the siege Welcome to the breakdown The collaps within reach Welcome to the blackout Welcome to the siege Welcome to the breakdown The collaps within reach Welcome to the blackout Welcome to the blackout Welcome to the breakdown The collaps within reach Blackout (x3) Welcome to the blackout Blackout

I got an uncontrollable urge Another day brings another purge I roam the streets to find a trace To find a reason and solace I got a feeling inside of me It ́s a kind of strange melancholy Don't feel complete, something is wrong I need a place where I belong But every night I hear her call A whisper first and then a howl I disappear into the night so black I'm back on track - back with her pack Together we will rule the night All teamed up ready to fight From dusk till dawn we run as one Our hunting season has begun I got a feeling inside of me It ́s a kind of strange melancholy Now I feel whole and I feel strong I found a place where I belong And every night I hear her call A whisper first and then a howl I disappear into the night so black I'm back on track - back with her pack From dusk till dawn we run as one I got a feeling inside of me It ́s a kind of strange melancholy Now I feel whole and I feel strong I found a place where I belong And every night I hear her call A whisper first and then a howl I disappear into the night so black I'm back on track - back with her pack I disappear into the night so black I'm back on track - back with her pack

Heat rising Ice receding Water pollution Rivers dry What's the solution? Towering waves Torrential rain The last flood Will drown the pain Destroying fires Ashes to ashes In the streets Violent clashes Devestation Escalation Mankind face Extermination Desolation Infestation Mankind face Extermination This world is out of joint We've reached the tipping point We're on the eve The eve of disruption This world is out of joint We've reached the tipping point We're on the brink The brink of destruction Devestation Escalation Mankind face Extermination Desolation Infestation Mankind face Extermination Can't take the heat Product of greed Passing the blame In the hall of shame Violations In all nations Just a little spark Before eternal dark The world is out of joint We've reached the tipping point We're on the eve The eve of disruption This world is out of joint We've reached the tipping point We're on the brink The brink of destruction We're on the brink The brink of destruction On the brink The brink of destruction

There is lambs wool under my naked feet The wool is soft and warm Gives off some kind of heat A salamander scurries into flame to be destroyed Imaginary creatures are trapped in birth on celluloid The fleas cling to the golden fleece Hoping they'll find peace Each thought and gesture are caught in celluloid There's no hiding in memory There's no room to avoid The crawlers cover the floor in the red ochre corridor For my second sight of people, they've more lifeblood than before They're moving in time to a heavy wooden door Where the needle's eye is winking, closing on the poor The carpet crawlers heed their callers We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out There's only one direction in the faces that I see Its upward to the ceiling, where the chamber's said to be Like the forest fight for sunlight, that takes root in every tree They are pulled up by the magnet, believing they are free The carpet crawlers heed their callers We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out Mild-mannered supermen are held in kryptonite And the wise and foolish virgins giggle with their bodies glowing bright Through the door a harvest feast is lit by candlelight Its the bottom of a staircase that spirals out of sight The carpet crawlers heed their callers We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out The porcelain mannikin with shattered skin fears attack And the eager pack lift up their pitchers- they carry all they lack The liquid has congealed, which has seeped out through the crack And the tickler takes his stickleback The carpet crawlers heed their callers We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out ...To get out We got to get in to get out We got to get in (get out to get in) The carpet crawlers heed their callers We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out (Got to, got to... Got to get in to get out (got to get in to get out) We got to get in to get out (got to get in to get out) We got to get in to get out We got to get in to get out Get in to get out Got to get in (get out) to get out Got to get in to get out Get out, get out, get out...)

My house is burning to the ground My heart plays dangerous games With madness, lust, a bitter taste I resolve to spread the flames Hot fire Deadly fire Start a fire, let it dance and lick your toes Your desire, a parade on burning coals This place is out of control I need some air Wait I don’t wanna let the fires burn anymore Pray I don’t wanna let the phantom’s flames, lash at my back door Wait I don’t wanna let the fires burn anymore Pray I don’t wanna be a beacon for, ill and scathed whores She always comes at the time I’m most in need Endlessly twerking and full of disease I’m not a man who would ever hurt a fly But she turns me into a byproduct And I need an escape, and I need a release The fire circles flames inside of me By now you’d think I had extinguishers ready But the fires so hot and I’m so damned heady Wait I don’t wanna let the fires burn anymore Pray I don’t wanna let the phantom’s flames, lash at my back door Wait I don’t wanna let the fires burn anymore Pray I don’t wanna be a beacon for, ill and scathed whores We’ll rescue all the spores We’ll hose down all the beds We’ll start to build again We will rebuild the trust

Er ist ein Menschenfeind Er liebt die Einsamkeit In der Dunkelheit Verrichtet er seine Drecksarbeit Er spürt es jede Nacht Wie sie in ihm erwacht Diese geheime Macht Die ihn zum Mörder macht Es wächst das Tier in ihm Er wird zum Ungetüm Ist die Verwandlung Dann vollbracht Verschwindet er In tiefer Nacht Seid gewarnt und Gebt gut Acht Es hat schon viele umgebracht Obacht Obacht Gebt gut Acht... Obacht Obacht In der Nacht Seinen Plan schmiedet er am Thresen Dann treibt er sein Unwesen Er scheut das Tasgeslicht, verrichtet seine Pflicht Sowas wie Liebe kennt er nicht Es steigt die Lust in Ihm Eine kranke Sehnsucht so extrem Und ist die Tat dann vollbracht, sogleich Ist sein Höhepunkt erreicht Seid gewarnt und Gebt gut Acht Es hat schon viele umgebracht Obacht Obacht Gebt gut Acht... Obacht Obacht In der Nacht Und wenn sie sich dann nicht mehr bewegt Dann wird sie kurzerhand zersaegt In grossen Taschen weggetragen Und irgendwo abgestellt und verlassen

In the tower of madness At his desk of gold The president of darkness Watches mayhem unfold Deep below lies the city Shaken by protest and rage In front of him gleams a button That decides your fate He's a ticking time bomb No one is safe Destination Doomsday The killer is out, he's out to play Be prepared for the final blow He's the last man standing to enjoy the show A man is dictating Noone else has a say Backed by hypocrites Who serve and obey A megalomaniac with goals set high His menacing tower reaching sky high The world under his thumbs He believes he's having all trumps Destination Doomsday The killer is out, he's out to play Be prepared for the final blow He's the last man standing to enjoy the show

War is looming and the tensions grow Economies crushed expectations low Troops are forming, drones are in the air Borders closed, irritation everywhere Brothers in arms: hear the call for action March united, be a part of the faction If you need a reason, fake the evidence The union of nations comes to your defence Lies lies - all lies Lies lies - allies All I hear is lies lies All must follow, we're allies When talks fail, too proud to settle Peace has no charms, straight into battle You are bound by your oath of loyalty March united on this path of perfidity If you really wanna know before you follow Listen to the whistle blow One direction No defection No way but obey Shock and awe Total war Call up for d-day Lies lies - allies Lies lies - all lies All I hear is lies lies All must follow, we're allies If you really wanna know before you follow Listen to the whistle blow

He was discharged with honours They called him unfit to serve This was less than he hoped for And less than he deserved Fallen comrad's screams They haunt him in his dreams Hears them shouting orders Fighting foreign regimes Now they call him unfit for duty He feels the fury within Active shooter situation He'd been serving for his nation Sad but true to hear his story But no reward for former glory He doesn't want their pity Just what is due to him Wants back into combat Because his future at home is grim He's paying heed to duty He's certain of his way He's proud of his vocation To serve and to obey Now they call him unfit for duty It wakes the fury within Active shooter situation He'd been serving for his nation Sad but true to hear his story But no reward for former glory On Veterans Day When the fanfares play He will leave his mark Down by the park He'll forget noone It's payback time His bullets will find their way On Veterans Day His bullets find their way On Veterans Day Active shooter situation He'd been serving for his nation Sad but true to hear his story But no reward for former glory Active shooter situation He'd been serving for his nation Sad but true to hear his story But no reward for former glory Active shooter situation He'd been serving for his nation Sad but true to hear his story But no reward for former glory

Back in black But no heads are turning Back in black No one came to see Back in black Are they still yearning Back in black For eternity Can't escape it Hide away from it There's no light At the end of the night Can't escape it Hide away from it There's no light At the end of the night The dawning of doom It was wrong to assume Won't end the night Ruled by your fright The dawning of doom It was wrong to assume Won't end the night Ruled by your fright Silent attack The shadows are talking Silent attack No one can hear Silent attack The shadows are walking Silent attack In the night of fear Can't escape it Hide away from it There's no light At the end of the night Can't escape it Hide away from it There's no light At the end of the night The dawning of doom It was wrong to assume Won't end the night Ruled by your fright The dawning of doom It was wrong to assume Won't end the night Ruled by your fright The dawning of doom The dawning of doom

Isolation is like serving time Except in this case I've done no crime I choose to be alone to search my soul To see if there is good in this heart with a hole I had no control when I lived out there My life became a nightmare There is no love in isolation All you have is your imagination Imagination I live in a world created on my own Contempt for the outside keeps me alone Isolation is for me The only way to be free I had no control when I lived out there My life became a nightmare There is no love in isolation All you have is your imagination Isolation is liberation When desperation is what you feel Isolation is liberation When desperation is what you feel Is what you feel Isolate myself Free myself Isolate myself Be myself Isolation is like serving time Except in this case I've done no crime I choose to be alone to search my soul To see if there is good in this heart with a hole I had no control when I lived out there My life became a nightmare There is no love in isolation All you have is your imagination Isolation is liberation When desperation is what you feel Isolation is liberation When desperation is what you feel Is what you feel Is what you feel Is what you feel Is what you feel Is what you feel Is what you feel Is what you feel

Mayhem lurks below the surface Triggered by satanic verses In the air the tension is rising Bloodshed waits with evil timing Fuses lit with both ends burning Realms fail destiny is turning Prophets preach the fundamental Start a war the war that ends all That ends all Bodies! Battle! Bodies! Battle extreme! Bodies! Battle! Bodies! Battle extreme! Bodies! Battle! Bodies! Battle еxtreme! Thesе times are quite insidious The menace getting serious These times are quite insidious The menace getting serious (Simply irreversible Simply irreversible Simply irreversible Simply irreversible Simply irreversible Simply irreversible Simply irreversible Simply irreversible) Stand eye to eye with our foe Geared up violence from head to toe Today's triumph brings little gain As cut-off arms they grow again While victory seems out of reach We prepare for an endless siege Even when we bite the dust We know that our fight is just Bodies! Battle! Bodies! Battle extreme! Bodies! Battle! Bodies! Battle extreme! Bodies! Battle! Bodies! Battle extreme!

Das Erreichen des militärischen Ziels hat oberste Priorität Die Gesundheit des Soldaten ist dem untergeordnet Kameraden, gebt gut Acht: Ich hab' euch etwas mitgebracht Dieses Pulver lässt euch fliegen Und jeden Gegner schnell besiegen Ein Produkt der Meisterklasse Eine wahre Wunderwaffe Dieses Pulver ist famos Ist die Furcht auch riesengroß Nimm' eine Prise mit Pläsier Und den Feind dann ins Visier Steigt hinauf ins Firmament Bis dass die Maschine brennt Rammt sie! Rammt sie! Rammt sie! Rammt sie! Rammt sie! Rammt sie! Mit voller Kraft! Rammt sie! Rammt sie! Rammt sie! Rammt sie! Rammt sie! Rammt sie! Mit der kleinen Dosis Speed Eilt ihr dann von Sieg zu Sieg Keine Grenze kann euch halten Und es bleibt nichts mehr beim Alten Ihr seid Herrscher in der Luft Ohne Rücksicht auf Verlust Unten jubeln schon die Massen Der Feind wird euch dafür hassen Ohne Schlaf und ohne Morgen Denn es wartet schon ein Orden Haltet euch noch für verwegen Rast der Erde schon entgegen Der Start war sehr oft spät, 10 Uhr, 11 Uhr Dann war man ungefähr um 1 Uhr, 2 Uhr morgens war man über London oder über irgend 'ner ander'n englischen Stadt Da ist man natürlich müde Und dann, wenn man das merkte, das durfte ja keinesfalls der Fall sein, hat man ein, zwei Tabletten Pervitin geschluckt, und dann ging's wieder Rammt sie!
