House of Cards

Broken Hero I'm so tired of all fighting In the wars that I have been It hurts to march all over killing fields to nowhere Only sorrow you will find now If you look into my eyes I feel so disillusioned after all Hey - hear me calling - now I know Ain't no reason to follow their order to go "Hero" I should be, a man forever free But I'm the broken one, who had to fall "Hero" all my life, a promised paradise Now I'm the broken one, who's left alone Once I was so proud of marching Everywhere they sent me out And me returning to my fatherland in glory All my dreams now are empty In my mind just loneliness It's hard to lose illusions your once had Hey - hear me calling - now I know Ain't no reason to follow their order to go "Hero" I should be, a man forever free But I'm the broken one, who had to fall "Hero" all my life, a promised paradise Now I'm the broken one, who's left alone Will there come a time for changing And all the wars to turn to silence Or is it just a dream for evermore? Someday we will get the answer - and all the blood will turn to water But here will be no winner anymore! Will there come a time for changing And all the wars to turn to silence Or is it just a dream for evermore? Someday we will get the answer - and all the blood will turn to water But here will be no winner anymore! Hey - hear me calling - now I know Ain't no reason to follow their order to go "Hero" I should be, a man forever free But I'm the broken one, who had to fall "Hero" all my life, a promised paradise Now I'm the broken one, who's left alone

Pictures Of Yesterday Rainy day, watchin' out of my window Thinking of a time when the river did flow And all the hills arose in pride And all the seas awoke by morning-light Pictures of yesterday - painted in my head As longer as their colours change - I will go ahead Full moon night, flowin' Ingo a new morn Dreaming of a star that is soon to be born While other worlds prepare to die Or still have gone although we see their light Pictures of yesterday - painted in my head As longer as their colours change - I will go ahead Like a wheel in the universe Like a big machine you can't run away Like a power of an magic source, (it's) gonna last forever Like a neverending force

House Of Cards Ladies and Gentlemen, latest news have arrived that the police department proudly announced having caught the person responsible for the cruel downtown murder last week on Christmas Eve. The twenty-four years old woman was the children's mother and wife of the murdered man. While the first interviews in the neighbour- hood last week seemed to prove the man's reputation as a careful father and loving husband, we achieved newest information of reliable sources about the results of further investigations reflecting an impenetrable net of mistreatment, lies and deception. We'll keep you informed about the development and like to make you focus your attention to our special edit about tragedy in younger families tonight at 10:30 and especially to our live-report from the local trial in this case beginning next monday. Goodbye for now and stay tuned! Clock is striking midnight, I'm sitting in my cell So cold the walls, no beam of light here in this hell I saw the fear inside the eyes of my own child So cold my heart felt when its blood ran down the knife He played the ruler, knocked me down just if he liked Time healed my scars but not the wounds I had inside He blew my mind I couldn't stand it anymore I said good-bye no turning back no more Cries surrounding me, voices I have heard before Keep on haunting me Why am I in here? I'm imprisoned in a lonely Cell inside of me I felt a force like beeing pulled right to a gate Foresaw deliverance in the glimmer of a blade But in the end I've got no freedom I looked for I'm still a loner cannot turn no more Cries surrounding me, voices I have heard before Keep on haunting me Why am I in here? I'm imprisoned in a lonely Cell inside of me she: What did you say? What does it mean? ... no regret? But, .... who's actually callin'? 1st: Don't pretend! You know who I am! It's me - I'm you! 2nd: Shut up and leave her alone! She has to repent and wait for her punishment. 1st: Oh no, she's done nothin' wrong. What could she do? She got no choice! 2nd: She could have tried to be a much better wife than before. She really didn't give her best. 1st: Don't forget all the cruelty she had to stand. 2nd: She got hit every day and beaten every night. She was cursed like a dog and sput in her face. It must have been hell on earth. 1st: The tears she shed were even more than all blood spilling that night. The children cried. 2nd: The children, the children cried even more. 1st: She began to tremble in fear, fear of the pain. It all seemed to become louder. 2nd: fear ... pain ... louder, louder, louder... Her flesh began to creep. She took the knife and pushed it down. N O W! 1st: And suddenly there was nothing at all! It's always in my heart a picture of a man I knew and used to love Was all we've said and done, our life, no more than just a house of cards? I took out of my heart a picture of a man I could not understand But all we built and shared has broken down just like a house of cards! All my love has gone away, all I feel is only hate (You) gotta get away from me (I) gotta get you outta here Never want you back again, I hate all of you! Hate your arms and hate your legs Hate your face and hate your back Hate your look and hate your eye Hate you even when you die Even hate to love even hate to hate! Cries surrounding me, voices I have heard before Keep on haunting me Why am I in here? I'm imprisoned in a lonely Cell inside of me

Eye To Eye a) DREAMS Still I have a dream of living in between two realities - confusion inside of me Beauty but a beast, sinner but a priest (like a) dream within a dream - and fate is calling me No longer human, I only thought I can't come back But I desire to be the one I left behind I still recall this painful day When death has cut our common way b) IT Like a shadow on the verge of darkness - IT appeared in the night (As) if our spirits got together - (and) if only a body died No one heard our cry, one shot - our blood gotta wait a year, gonna get'em here - get them here! If IT shares death, the story is told IT will come back, (from) out of the cold Like a shadow still in black returning - I can see through IT's eyes The avenger is coming nearer - and he's longing for your lives No one hears your cry, (IT) wants ya- (IT) gets ya Then IT disappears, leaving you in fear - got ya here! If IT shares death, the story is told IT will come back, (from) out of the cold c)EYE TO EYE Did not know what happened in the night when I awoke I heard IT's call (silent call) (I) got to understand that I'm the one to take revenge for our love (our love) World now just appears in black and white like in IT's eyes, (so) don't you know (you don't know) It ain't just a game like run and hide but eye to eye and you're alone (all alone)

Born To Lose Child of tomorrow, you'd burn in a fire You would inherit the pain of today World of tomorrow, they call it a cage Lacking an entrance or exit they say I know for all that you will understand I had to lead you onto you own way It's really senseless to believe A loser you were born Oh little child, dry your eyes Child of tomorrow, you'd burn in a fire You would inherit the pain so they say It's really senseless to believe A loser you were born Oh little child, dry your eyes It's really senseless to believe A loser you were born Oh little child, dry your eyes

(Alphaville cover) Winters cityside Crystal bits of snowflakes all around my head and in the wind I had no illusions That Id ever find a glimps of summers heatwaves in your eyes You did what you did to me, now its history I see Heres my comeback on the road again Things will happen while they can I will wait here for my man tonight, its easy when your big in japan When your big in japan, tonight Big in japan, be tight, big in japan where the eastern seas so blue Big in japan, alright, pay, then Ill sleep by your side Things are easy when youre big in japan, when youre big in japan Neon on my naked skin Passing silhouettes of strange illuminated mannequins Shall I stay here at the zoo Or shall I go and change my point of view for other ugly scenes You did what you did to me, now its history I see... Things will happen while they can I will wait here for my man tonight, its easy when youre big in japan

The Silence Don't you fear the silence, (it) ain't gonna hurt at all A chance to think about you - who you are? Take care of every minute, be aware of every day, 'cos life is far too short - to throw away. Lay down your indifference, there's too much wasted time, It's only up to you - you're alive. Try to share a minute, it might become a day 'cos everything you share - it ain't away. There is a rainbow in the end Rising after a thunderstorm. Don't you fear the silence, (it) ain't gonna hurt at all A chance to think about you - who you are? Take care of every minute, be aware of every day, 'cos life is far too short - to throw away. There is a rainbow in the end Rising after a thunderstorm. I really hope you'd understand Why I'm here and I sang this song.

Beyond The Other Side So let me tell you now What it is all about If you sell out your soul This is no game The story began some hundred years ago All of my life in fear of future Some kinda warm when he was passing by Something weird I couldn't understand So far so near, world of fear Beyond the other side Never again I should see a dawn Kill to survive my curse of future I gotta pay for everlasting life Felt abused by an only friend So far so near, world of fear Beyond the other side I'm a fool in a world of the undead Lost between the shores, like a ferryman I've seen the wars, I've seen the black death I can't forget the holocaust Enola Gay at all Thoughts of her over centuries Feelin' damn depressed, there came a little girl He stole again her blood and her mind, he used her as a sacrifice I couldn't stand it all She, so cruel, was born for murder and Liked the bloody game, 'til she realized With all her might she burned out his face But couldn't get the gift of life It's been too late at all There is no end, it's going on and on Kill to survive, eternal future Meet him again, maybe another time Another place I'll never understand So far so near, world of fear Beyond the other side But now I'm here, no more fear I'm on the other side Now you have heard it all About my rise and fall No way I lost my soul This was no game
