Ball of the Damned
Everyone a child of the sun But the gap is wide open yet So we move straight to the might Far to some demon's delight, I know Some of them white They always got right How can they dare [that] there's nothing to share And I do, no better than anyone else, who's helping who, in any way And I see, too many things not changed, In a "thousand-years" time Now I know, why I'm yearning Cause life is never turning Puppet on a string Deliverance, roar for deliverance And you know why I'm yearning Cause life is never turning Puppet on a string Is a captive thing Look this man is watching me He's always been a part of me And I see, left on the right reflecting my body and soul, always And I see, I look at myself into the mirror of time Now I know why I'm yearning Cause life is never turning Puppet on a string Deliverance, roar for deliverance And you know why I'm yearning Cause life is never turning Puppet on a string Is a captive thing Save me, guardian of the poor Watching every gamble, playing for high score You may say I'm blind, right or wrong Anywhere I belong I can't deny, but my will ain't strong All this fake Sparkles out of gold Did you ever die for What your parents told You may say I'm blind, right or wrong Anywhere I belong I can't deny, but my will ain't strong Everyone a child of the sun But the gap is wide open yet So we move straight to the might Far to some demon's delight, I know Now I know why I'm yearning Cause life is never turning Puppet on a string Deliverance, roar for deliverance And you know why I'm yearning Cause life is never turning Puppet on a string Is a captive thing

So many ways to choose for walking Which of this paths should I try There is a man returning Guess he has got a false trial And when I ask him Hey man, what's wrong He smiles and answers: I think this way's too long Pushed and pulled at points of entry Gateway of my chances Back and forth - two steps, I weary I'm frozen under the sun Now that I've walked a thousand life-miles Some of those miles I regret Next bifurcation's coming Which of two ways is the best And when I'm asking Oh, Lord what's right There ain't an answer To have the choice means fight Pushed and pulled at points of entry Gateway of my chances Back and forth - two steps, I weary I'm frozen under the sun

Insanity surrounding me Right beyond these walls Dark corners where nurses shake the key And quite near just behind my door A soul leaves the corpse I'll never accept all their reasons What for they have done this to me All dreams they are gone now to pieces I'm in a mess there's no chance to flee Why me Forgotten prisoner they're wasting your time Been on a mission here to create a sign Your motivation was to change our world Madness or genius apart We start it tomorrow The hate inside Now part of me Will burn my soul And Jesus won't read out of my bones So I try to get a chance To get out of here I'll never accept all their reasons What for they have done this to me All dreams they are gone now to pieces I'm in a mess there's no chance to flee Why me Forgotten prisoner they're wasting your time Been on a mission here to create a sign Your motivation was to change our world Madness or genius apart We start it tomorrow

He was a friend and was a foe Sometimes high, sometimes low A lion in fictitious realms A childish hero - overwhelmed Like the wizard of Oz Part in the world of prose The true-stories-teller was always the fool He's often been blamed, he's never known rules Gone now forever, he's telling no more We wished we had listened before (They wished they had listened before) He made us laugh and furious, too Never knew what's lies or truth Superman in wonderland Played the buffoon till the end Like the wizard of Oz Part in a world of prose The true-stories-teller was always the fool He's often been blamed, he's never known rules Gone now forever, he's telling no more We wished we had listened before (They wished they had listened before) Like the wizard of Oz Part in a world of prose The true-stories-teller was always the fool He's often been blamed, he's never known rules Gone now forever, he's telling no more We wished we had listened before (They wished they had listened before)

Since we're talking, mainly upright walking Proved true the difference of fire and ice We've built a cardhouse waving if the wind blows Lies may walk slowly, but they return as the truth Tollshocked, I'm tollshocked Black is the color of darkness and evil White is the truth as an innocent child Women think slow, while a man's driving speedy All red-haired women love wild What's up, what counts Since we're talking, mainly upright walking Proved true the difference of fire and ice We've built a cardhouse waving if the wind blows Lies may walk slowly, but they return as the truth Tollshocked, I'm tollshocked The pope's licking dirt on his airport-arrivals Messages light years away from the truth "So not use condoms" he counsels the poorest Believes he that they need the boost What's up, what counts Since we're talking, mainly upright walking Proved true the difference of fire and ice We've built a cardhouse waving if the wind blows Lies may walk slowly, but they return as the truth Tollshocked, I'm tollshocked Billy looks smart with his smile sweet as honey Boris likes vodka much more than champagne Manni fährt Manta und bumst 'ne Friseuse Red-Indians endure much more pain What's up, what counts Since we're talking, mainly upright walking Proved true the difference of fire and ice We've built a cardhouse waving if the wind blows Lies may walk slowly, but they return as the truth Tollshocked, I'm tollshocked

This track is instrumental.
They had come far from Been invited to Lord Barker's Ball Not aware they would celebrate their fall On the first day red wined flowed their bellies Hundred feet stepped and danced Echoes of laughter were streaming through dark vaults Barker's eyes showed their glance Day two was the day of mysterious games Each winner got blood painted plates Added like puzzles - disclosing their sense The picture was showing their fate They stood and stared Paralyzed Doors were locked Smoke invading Welcome to the festival The ball of no return Inhale the smoke Abandoned they sucked virgins - blood Abandoned they danced demons - rock Hysteria was ruling, mercy not lent Ball of the damned Day three was the day of unbearable silence Barker prepared the last act Survivors were led to the chamber of violence The basin of death had been stacked They stood and stared Paralyzed Doors were locked Smoke invading Welcome to the festival The ball of no return Inhale the smoke Abandoned they sucked virgins - blood Abandoned they danced demons - rock Hysteria was ruling, mercy not lent Ball of the damned Dipped into the mass Gilded pain on their faces of death They'd become figures on a board of chess Welcome to the festival The ball of no return Inhale the smoke Abandoned they sucked virgins - blood Abandoned they danced demons - rock Hysteria was ruling, mercy not lent Ball of the damned

While the sun hangs in the sky and the desert has sand While the waves crash in the sea and meet the land While there's a wind and the stars and the rainbow Till the mountains crumble into the plain Oh yes we'll keep on tryin' Tread that fine line Oh we'll keep on tryin' yeah Just passing our time While we live according to race, colour or creed While we rule by blind madness and pure greed Our lives dictated by tradition, superstition, false religion Through the eons, and on and on Oh yes we'll keep on tryin' We'll tread that fine line Oh we'll keep on tryin' Till the end of time Till the end of time Through the sorrow all through our splendour Don't take offence at my innuendo You can be anything you want to be Just turn yourself into anything you think that you could ever be Be free with your tempo, be free be free Surrender your ego - be free, be free to yourself Oooh, ooh - If there's a God or any kind of justice under the sky If there's a point, if there's a reason to live or die If there's an answer to the questions we feel bound to ask Show yourself - destroy our fears - release your mask Oh yes we'll keep on trying Hey tread that fine line Yeah we'll keep on smiling yeah And whatever will be - will be We'll just keep on trying We'll just keep on trying Till the end of time Till the end of time Till the end of time
