Poverty’s No Crime
Album • 1999
I feel confused by the people around When I see how they selfishly open their mouth You are the one who can talk them all down I might be to shy but I've still got the right We pay attention to the man in the light I'd rather take my way out of the crowd Silence is my only friend But no one seems to understand How can I talk with a scared pair of eyes I'm close to explain but I'm still paralyzed I long for the day when the speechless unite Mine is the silence so leave me alone See what I dream - feel what I fear Watch the shadow coming over me again See what I dream tonight I fear when I feel alive Watch the shadow - it's coming over me again The door is closed inside of me Someone threw away the key My fear is is deep and cold as ice No one really needs to know Words in my head - somewhere like gold in the night Access denied - you know you make me say nothing And refuse for ever more... See what I dream - feel what I fear Watch the shadow coming over me again See what I dream tonight I fear when I feel alive Watch the shadow - it's coming over me again The voice inside of me is an ancient memory It keeps all the laughter till the day I'll let it out...

I have seen a thousand dreams Believe me they were real I have touched the skys in foreign lands It seemed as if they were friends of mine Do they belong to me? I made my days with hands embraced While shadows cover the way I go To get the choice to choose my place Reminds me of what my father said: "You don't belong to me" Do I belong somewhere at all? How many roads how many dreams Led into the night? It's getting so hard to find! End of a mile - the start of a new No one is immune To the longing for other lands It's an odyssey it's my own desire Do I have roots to return to? Certain skys and secret ways All the things we don't understand We waste our lives and sell our dreams But were we do belong I don't know Do they belong to me? How many roads how many dreams Led into the night? It's getting so hard to find! End of a mile - the start of a new No one is immune To the longing for other lands It's an odyssey it's my own desire Tell me where I do belong ... How many roads how many dreams Discover the truth and bury the lies It's not the same to be where your roots are Or just anywhere

Another lonely night in your head This is only a matter of mind And when you play this game your whole life How can you say if it is wrong or right? You can wait for a change of your mind This is only a matter of time And when you close your eyes overnight He will awake in the bright moonlight I don't know how these feelings change It must be more than only Jekyll and Hyde Take the pain lose again He is a friend you know A spotlight there on my own error again Different minds in ordinary minds Fill them up with all that we are willing to want and like No one is searching but I want to know To end up my day Is that how you get into my eyes When people lose their way It's the opposition of me But he is strange to everyone It doesn't lead me astray Different minds in ordinary minds Fill them up with all that you are willing to want and like No one is searching but I want to know To end up my day Oceans flow in my veins Demons - do we need to fear? Sometimes a distant spying satellite The put on masquerade is alright So if you call him the master of your mind He will show you his world in moonlight When people lose their way... It doesn't lead me astray Different minds in ordinary minds Justifies the cause to fail Different eyes see all that even minds A spotlight there on all who are not willing to try

Take the world - just pay the price For all the things that we need to be someone Strange we call it a paradise We obey like soldiers in user-military I believe in what I feel It tastes like sugar but it's poison That is dazing our minds So you think you are alone And you need something that pretends You are someone Your gold is only painted glass Your fortune is just another illusion The secret is to have no choice It's no wonder that your senses go blind The feelings unite - the senses go blind, so blind Someday you'll find it's just waste What they offered with a shine Used but so amused, like a toy in their hands You believe in what they say, "why should they lie?" With naked fears if the feeling disappears "I just want to satisfy my needs" With hungry eyes and lack of restraint Hopeless to refuse it's much too late The feelings unite - the senses go blind, so blind Someday you'll find it's just plastic But they made it shine Used and so abused and as guilty as a child No one should control the way we feel You are buried in gold that's gonna melt in your hands "I don't want my senses go blind, no they won't ..."

Wind and light surround me what a sign All my dreams are still alive On my wings I've learned to fly In the silent world of the night A soundless melody Whispered so that I couldn't hear Never thought I could be so alone I feel the mortal extends like fire Anytime we don't laugh How could we know When life goes on and on Wind and light they keep me holding on Make me feel I'm free and be right Endless sorrow - sudden there's light In the land where nobody can find me Close my eyes and I go into hiding It's the same that we all fear "Am I just the only one in here?" If I could know what my heart is missing To feel every second every sound of life Feel awake - I'm tired of losing I've seen the edge of the world Lost and lonely but alive When we need to be alone Aim at light to carry on life Wake me till I die let me feel alive When the lights surround my eyes I still believe there is hope to find In a world of so many ways And endless corridors I run through all the doors tonight Just to leave the maze and follow the light Define the word that we lost somehow Before I surrender to the emptiness Feel awake - I'm tired of losing I've seen the edge of the world Lost and lonely If you believe you are going under There's no reason to hide It's time forgive me and I try We can't make it all alone Send me wind to carry on life

Master of mind keep me away from the line Master of mind keep me away from the crime I follow your signs when I fear that I have to decide He takes my hand teaching me how to pretend Always a friend trust in his words till the end Lead me to heaven I'll do what you want me to do Fear in my head - dust in my eyes I feel your intention in times of the night It's the strength that can force to obey Before I rely on the power you have I'll be gone Play with my soul - always inside Defy my religion - a slave to the mind It's the fear of the use of your might But how can offer resistance to you in my head?

What is the answer to my hopes and dreams? The speed of the progress changes day by day We're looking around to find that certain line But never seem to understand Thousands of miles on just a single day We're starting ahead to walk the milky way tonight There's nothing to win and nothing to find new Only the mind is still left to know You will understand when you realize We help to make an enemy Can't you see the line into I should fall And disappear? With electronic eyes Could we ever find the answer to it all? You can see by scanning things at night You can move controlled while you think twice But can you feel in a way of humanity? When your hypnotic eyes decide to make it real Still in memory the danger of minority Can't you see the line into I should fall And disappear? You're beside your mind in a mission without aim There's no need to feel anymore Can't you see my eyes Electronic eyes - I can read your mind Do we really need the answer to it all? Electronic eyes see all But they will never read between the lines

Would you like to be the one Would you like to be renowned? A silent rage can pave the way Can keep the coldness in your eyes Weak and chased into the light And just a heartless smile away They all believe in what I seem to be So I must keep this face alive This is a world of anger and hate We dream of heaven but we live in hell Now and again - now the feeling is over again - with a lie You can always pretend it's alright and fine Could you help me to fight when danger is high? When my honesty fades away Who's afraid to be alive again? What in me - what is deep in my mind? What if the danger makes me feel I could die? Still in my head what makes be this way And what can ease the blame inside Too much hate too many oppositions But the order was to win somehow I believe there is a place to be People get along without a trace of baseness This is a world of anger and hate We put our faith in hell's array We dream of heaven but we live in hell Now the feeling is over again - though I try Could you help me to find my way out of the ice That has frozen the dream of a warm summer night Can I offer myself to you? I believe that I can learn to feel What is in me - what's behind my eyes? Is it a dream within a lost paradise? If I could feel - if I could feel ashamed I lose my faith within a thousand lies All my life could be the final lie...

Now that we've found a way to relieve From the pain - we just close our eyes There's no hate there's no black and white So proud that everything is under control Let me take you down to the place Where you would rather like to see somebody else How can we leave them with chains around War is not a game on TV, it's a game of misery Some people have to live in the darkness 'Cause some people like to live in the light Some don't know how they can survive any longer But you say it's just the way that it goes It's not fair to say the chances we offer Are quite enough to ease the pain in the world You look away while some children die And think of hunger in the world to be a lie We feel so safe in that harmony But losing human solidarity Yes we feel okay to the games we play... Some people have to live in the darkness 'Cause some rather like to live in the light Should they look forward to the end of a nightmare To the moment when we turn up the light? Reach out your hands for tomorrow Reach out for every light in your life Well can't you see that they can't wait any longer The time is right to help them into the light
