The Devil Strikes Again

Heart over matter, no more excuses tonight, The earlier the better, let us just put it all right . It is all moving, time's running faster each day. No more abusing, let us get better this way. 'Cause in the silence I hear my heart scream Louder and louder each day. I am afraid I am losing my dream, Reset and start once again! Give me my way or no way at all! It's heaven or hell! Just my way, it's my final call, It's heaven or hell! It's my way or it's the highway, It's my way, it's heaven or hell! You can't repeat it, life is a one-off-shot thing. Don't leave me bleeding, Let me cure my broken wings. ‘Cause in the silence I hear my heart scream Louder and louder each day I am afraid I am losing my dream Reset and start once again! Give me my way or no way at all! It’s heaven or hell! Just my way, it’s my final call It’s heaven or hell! It’s my way or it’s the highway It’s my way, it’s heaven or hell! Give me my way or no way at all! It’s heaven or hell! Just my way, it’s my final call It’s heaven or hell! It’s my way or it’s the highway It’s my way, it’s heaven or hell! Give me my way! Give me my way...

Awoken from a winter's night, Shake off the dust and wipe my eyes. The rays of sun in early spring Melt ice and snow, surround my skin. I just can't recall the times, I was unconscious, black in mind. The demons of the past are dead, It's about time to lift my head. In this life we all get our chances, Just be clear or they will pass you by. What you send out will be reflected, What you ask for, there is a reply Back on track, we're gonna turn it all around, We’re heading for eternity, get ready for attack. Back on track, we're gonna turn it upside down. We're heading for eternity, We're gonna get it back... on track. The lonely years are gone, you see, I'm stepping out, you're here with me. I have denied myself too long, Was present but my mind was gone. It's my responsibility For what I started, now I see. And then the here and now will be The essence of our history. In this life we all get our chances Just be clear or they will pass you by What you send out will be reflected What you ask for, there is a reply Back on track, we’re gonna turn it all around We’re heading for eternity, get ready for attack Back on track, we’re gonna turn it upside down We’re heading for eternity We’re gonna get it back... on track Back on track, we’re gonna turn it all around We’re heading for eternity, we’re get it back on track Back on track, we’re gonna turn it upside down We’re heading for eternity, we’re gonna get it back... on track, yeah, yeah, yeah! Oh... We’re heading for eternity, we’re get it back on track

Right! Fear is epidemic, brutality and lust Humanity is drowning in the dust Disasters of the future – the heritage of the past No one knows how long we’re gonna last, oh Do you believe me, the times are getting rough This will be the end, the final curtain falls Would you believe me, we’ve had it all too much This will be the end, the final curtain falls Servant finds a master The master claims he’s god Break the circle and trust me, he is not! Once a stone is rolling You cannot turn it around Unstoppable it’s crumbling to the ground Do you believe me, the times are getting rough This will be the end, the final curtain falls Would you believe me, we’ve had it all too much This will be the end, the final curtain falls Do you believe me, the times are getting rough This will be the end, the final curtain falls Would you believe me, we’ve had it all too much This will be the end, the final curtain falls This will be the end, the final curtain falls

In the eyes of the big global players everything’s alright It’s their God-given right to abuse us, so thank you and good night In the world’s biggest money machine they’re delivering the fuel Let there be some collateral damage – that’s their pervert rule Yes, that’s their perfect rule That little girl in ruins gets a roaring lullaby And we all close our eyes ‘cause it’s our war Just war, killing everyone That’s war, just war, let ‘em jump the gun War, our profit for their lives Endless war, can religion justify Holy war, and we sacrifice the truth For that war, yes it’s cynical but this is our war In the world of elected deceivers the lobbies on their heels They will claim that we need the employment to justify their deals And all those with no access to power, they slay us with their gods But their hate makes them even worse than all what they hate the most Now everything is lost The little girl in ruins, she won’t wake up to the day And now we close our eyes ‘cause it’s our war Just war, killing everyone That’s war, just war, let ‘em jump the gun War, our profit for their lives Endless war, can religion justify Holy war, and we sacrifice the truth For that war, yes it’s cynical, it’s all so cynical ‘Cause this is our war! War, our profit for their lives Endless war, can religion justify Holy war, and we sacrifice the truth For that war, yes it’s cynical but this is our war Just war That’s war!

When everything in me is dead There is a void inside my head. And my direction disappears To leave me drowning in my fears. Then from the ashes I will crawl, Just to find myself in free fall. It's like the tumbling of the dice, My life is spinning in your lies. You've turned my world from upside down, All I have lost just can't be found, My inner self's an empty shell, How can I break free from this hell? So many dark and lonely nights, So many cracks I've tried to hide. You leave me shattered in disgrace, I'm disappearing in the haze. I can't get over you, You're an ocean full of tears. To free my head from you Needs an ocean full of tears. I don't expect you to believe How much my life's disturbed in grief. Still I can't tread on safer ground As all your poison's still around. Time is a healer, so they say And I can't wait to see the day When all the truth will come to light, When finally wrong turns to right. You’ve turned my world from upside down All I have lost just can’t be found My inner self’s an empty shell How can I break free from this hell? So many dark and lonely nights So many cracks I’ve tried to hide You leave me shattered in disgrace I’m disappearing in the haze I can’t get over you You’re an ocean full of tears To free my head from you Needs an ocean full of tears You’ve turned my world from upside down All I have lost just can’t be found My inner self’s an empty shell How can I break free from this hell? So many dark and lonely nights So many cracks I’ve tried to hide You leave me shattered in disgrace I’m disappearing in the haze I can’t get over you You’re an ocean full of tears To free my head from you Needs an ocean full of tears An ocean full of tears

Have you ever read between the lines? Can you see, we're heading for decline. We declare to be the crown of all, Don't you just forget, all kings must fall. Don't you think it's funny? Who do we think that we are? While we cannot save ourselves at all, Save us from the fall. Are we deaf and dumb and blind? As we mistreat our kind. Are you deaf and dumb and blind? You could be the next in line... Do you ever feel superior And divide the world in good and bad? So we wipe away what we don't like, Who is not our friend, he shall be dead. Don’t you think it’s funny? Who do we think that we are? While we cannot save ourselves at all Save us from the fall Are we deaf and dumb and blind? As we mistreat our kind Are you deaf and dumb and blind? You could be the next in line... yeah Are we deaf and dumb and blind? As we mistreat our kind Are you deaf and dumb and blind? You could be the next in line... (Deaf!) (Dumb!) And blind! (Deaf!) (Dumb!) And blind! (Deaf!) (Dumb!) And blind! (Deaf!) (Dumb!) And blind... yeah!

Face of horror, walls of death, The depths in our mind. No tomorrow, evil blessing, The horror of the blind. I have looked into your eyes, I didn't recognize. There only was a blackened shadow Screaming as it dies. Waking to the light, Perception makes me scream, 'Cause reality Is worse than I could dream. The spirits of the night live on and on... (The spirits of the night) The visions of that dream, it won't be gone... (The spirits of the night) The spirits of the night won't leave me, The spirits of the night, they live on and on. Come the morning, help me breathe, I must escape the night. Let me just abandon this, I know it wasn't right. Like a cancer in the flesh It's eating up my brain. Just a spiral downwards bound, All hatred turns to pain. Waking to the light Perception makes me scream ‘Cause reality Is worse than I could dream The spirits of the night live on and on... (The spirits of the night) The visions of that dream, it won’t be gone... (The spirits of the night) The spirits of the night won’t leave me The spirits of the night, they live on and on The spirits of the night live on and on... (The spirits of the night) The visions of that dream, it won’t be gone... (The spirits of the night) The spirits of the night won’t leave me The spirits of the night, they live on and on

See the fires, smoking guns Death is all around No desires on the run Misery we’ve found Everyone we’ve seen has been through hell Had that war in their eyes Total darkness, no more tears End of all we’ve known Reign of madness, reign of fear What have we become? Is there a way back? Can we forgive? In these times of darkness all humanity had died Thirty years that war was raging on In these times of darkness when mankind denied itself Burned into the memory of all souls, yeah Empty faces, hollow cheeks, All the hope is gone. For survival we're too weak, This war can't be won. All this endless death, it was in vain. In these times of darkness all humanity had died Thirty years that war was raging on In these times of darkness when mankind denied itself Burned into the memory of all souls, yeah In these times of darkness all humanity had died Thirty years that war was raging on In these times of darkness when mankind denied itself Burned into the memory of all souls...

In my nightmares, when I die, I just see my long forgotten, breaking eyes. I'm afraid I lived a lie, My life's challenges, I never did reply. All so many doors I haven't tried, All those wasted chances, 'cause I was afraid. All the people that I never reached a hand, 'Til it was too late, I'm on my final stand. I'm the only one On a journey to the dark side of the sun I'm almost dead and gone On my journey to the dark side of the sun Nothing will be won On my journey to the dark side of the sun I'm eternal gone On my journey to the dark side of the sun That's just our eternal fear, To have left out our chances while we're here. And we find our spirits clear, But the flesh is weak and rotten, it appears. All so many doors I haven’t tried All those wasted chances, ‘cause I was afraid All the people that I never reached a hand ‘Til it was too late, I’m on my final stand I’m the only one On a journey to the dark side of the sun I’m almost dead and gone On my journey to the dark side of the sun Nothing will be won On my journey to the dark side of the sun I’m eternal gone On my journey to the dark side of the sun All so many doors I haven’t tried All those wasted chances, ‘cause I was afraid All the people that I never reached a hand ‘Til it was too late, I’m on my final stand I’m the only one On a journey to the dark side of the sun I’m almost dead and gone On my journey to the dark side of the sun Nothing will be won On my journey to the dark side of the sun I’m eternal gone On my journey to the dark side of the sun

Life is short and I've been wasting time Spending all those years In this treadmill of lies. It felt so numb when I had lost my touch To all that I believed in, Never asked for the why. Yes, I know it's late, for sure (Yes, I know) Better late than never, that's a word, The game is over for you There is nothing we'd be sharing Not a reason for comparing, Nothing anymore can bring me down. In my new world it's too late For you to spread your fear and hate, From now on you cannot bring me down. It's enough and I can't take no more Of this endless trail of torment and tears. Disrespect for all that I have made, Well, it shows so clearly for what you are here. Say goodbye, you cannot bring me down

Dry your tears! Now is the time for peace Time to look up and let it go, Reach out your hand and You will find what you have lost. Wake up from all those wasted years, Think for yourself, forget your fears. Deep inside there is a flame, Rising higher every day. I know I am heading for the end. Can I turn around? For sure I don't need it anymore. Feels like I write my own requiem. Dare to win! Trust in the hands of fate. Open your eyes and you will see, You will find help where You will not expect it now. You have it all in your own hands, Look at yourself and you will find...

I remember when I was a young man I was lonely, no one seemed to understand. Though I searched I couldn't find companions, No one there for me That reached a helping hand. So it came I'd be a loner, I was wondering through my silent universe, It took me years to find the answers, Find that all I needed was within. I have seen the truth in one perception And the story is unfolded. Send my vision to the stars And they will answer to me now. Into the fire And out of the cold, Stripped to the wire by forces untold. Into the fire, I'm forged in the flames Made from desires of one million dreams. Don't you know the future Has been written long ago. There's no stupid question In a world that's mad, you know. And in every end There lies a new beginning, so All is heaven sent, You only can be winning now. Time to be reborn into the fire Now you'll be reborn, You will be forged, Forged in the fire

You got me forced to keep my legs in two I'm still stuck inside this rubber room I gotta punch the clock that leads the blind I'm just another gear in the assembly line, oh no The noose gets tighter Around my throat But I ain't at the end of my rope 'Cuz I won't be the one left behind You can't be king of the world If you're slave to the grind Tear down the rat racial slime You can't be king of the world If you're slave to the grind Get it? A routine injection, a lethal dose But my day in the sun ain't even close There's no need to waste your prayers over here You better mark my words 'cause I masturbate Yes, indeed You might beg for mercy to get by But I'd rather tear this thorn From my side 'Cuz I won't be the one left behind You can't be king of the world If you're slave to the grind Tear down the rat racial slime You can't be king of the world If you're slave to the grind They swallowed their daggers by turning their trick They tore my intention apart brick by brick I'm sick of the jive, talk verbal insecticide They swallowed their daggers by turning their trick They tore my intention apart brick by brick I'm sick of the jive, talk verbal insecticide I won't be the one left behind You can't be king of the world If you're slave to the grind Tear down the rat racial slime You can't be king of the world If you're slave to the grind Well, I said, slave to the grind Slave to the grind Slave to the grind

If we burn our wings Flying too close to the sun If the moment of glory Is over before it's begun If the dream is won Though everything is lost We will pay the price But we will not count the cost When the dust has cleared And victory denied A summit too lofty River a little too wide If we keep our pride Though paradise is lost We will pay the price But we will not count the cost And if the music stops There's only the sound of the rain All the hope and glory All the sacrifice in vain (And) If love remains Though everything is lost We will pay the price But we will not count the cost
