No Place Like Home

Engulfed by the metropolis Cheating death and getting stronger Living, thriving in this world Of filth that we’ve created Survival of the fittest All creatures great and small But we must be their masters Or be headed for fall Black Death – Black Death – Black Death Wound up like a rattlesnake The plague has struck all the nations Conquest of the human race The rats have taken control A journey into terror A disease you know there is no cure Another plague to burn Across the pages of history Black Death – Black Death – Black Death At night, the victims are descending to the streets Can you hear them crying Stumbling through the carnage in the alley ways Followed by the dying Looking, into the frightened faces turning blue So many millions, I can feel their pain Like you and I will never see again I Know, now I must escape This world of living hell Aeons since we’ve seen the sun Survivors have moved underground Now there’s nowhere left to run And the energy grows stronger Survival of the fittest Take heed to nature’s call The rats are now the masters They’ve inherited all Black Death – Black Death – Black Death …

The hammer forges binding chains The sickle draws blood from my veins I look off into distant skies All I see is the red they force into my eyes The pressure hastens my demise I’ve heard there’s so much more Calling me to freedom’s shore Should I entice such deadly fate I crawl the ground in rabid flight Blazing eyes search through the night Razor wire of gleaming steel Ten thousand volts the coiled blades conceal I sense the dogs are on my heal Can’t tell my sweat from tears A shadowed figure laughs and rears his head Can be this the end So many times when they have dreamed I’ve sat atop the eagle’s wings Across this land he flies so great and free And there a lovely lady stands She lights my way with torch in hand She stands for liberty - and the free Beyond the wall I run for life Gunfire burning up the night I’ve got to make a hundred yards I know that they can only go so far The blood of freedom now pumps through my heart Sweet freedom up ahead I thought for sure I would be dead Instead I’m free So many times when they have dreamed I’ve sat atop the eagle’s wings Across this land he flies so great and free And there a lovely lady stands She lights my way with torch in hand She stands for liberty - and the free

And as I awoke From where I did not know A world so far away Into the sky, into the sky A finger from the heavens My home took to the air Whirling round and round Into the ground, into the ground Death to the witch – the wicked witch is dead Death to the witch – the wicked witch is dead Faces I have seen, my mind I have lost A scarecrow, a lion, a tinman What does all this mean Ah ah ah ah – over the rainbow, over the rainbow Ah ah ah ah – over the rainbow, over the rainbow Onward we journeyed Off to see the wizard To find a way back Back to my home, back to my home Monkeymen with batwings Fear from the air The wicked witch of the West Gives me no rest Death to the witch – the wicked witch is dead Death to the witch – the wicked witch is dead Ah ah ah ah – over the rainbow, over the rainbow Ah ah ah ah – over the rainbow, over the rainbow Ah ah ah ah – over the rainbow, over the rainbow Ah ah ah ah – over the rainbow, over the rainbow I leave the Emerald City My ruby slippers bring me home Now I end my journey As I find myself alone And as I awoke From where I’ll never know A world so far away No place like home…

I lay alone at midnites toll Awakened in a distant dream A demon’s laugh, an angel’s cry A martyr’s painful scream Shadow of the future A tragedy to tell His words echo footsteps On his journey out of hell Listen to my vice you’ll hear it as your own In the fire of my eyes your bloody past unfolds Medieval swords, crusading plunder, poison gas, your fathers under M-16 shred your brother atomic fate you’ll know no other Centuries have past you by yet time is standing still Your leaders’ lies from evil eyes Still have you at their will Oh foolish ones consumed by pride you hate, you war, your children die A thousand chances through greed are lost Eternal darkness will be the cost Your tragedies repeat themselves How blind can you be With much contempt I leave this world To fester in disease Pray forgiveness sinful ones, Before the trumpets blow Or wait until the final hour An I will welcome you below

We labor every day Toiling our lives away But freedom we won’t find We’re working in a mine Dig, dig, dig, dig down deep Digging in the ground for what others have found Down, down, down earn your keep The digging and blasting seems everlasting Only a chance in a million Only a chance in a million Then we struck it rich In the mine In the mine It’s all mine But you shouldn’t take chances Don’t be a victim of circumstances Over and under Kinda makes you wonder How long will it last When you’re spending it so fast In the mine – in the mine In the mine – in the mine Sordid, greedy, aged, little prospector Now, now, you’ve got it made More, more, more always going back for more Only a chance in a million Only a chance in a million In the mine… You’ve got money to burn now I’m sure in time you’ll learn how What will you do When there’s nothing left to buy Richer and richer kinda makes a pretty picture Year after year till the assets Are pilled pretty high To the sky In the mine In the mine It’s all mine

The battle roared that summer day Gunfire heard for miles away Cannon-balls were biting stone Cold shining steel cut to the bone When the smoke had cleared away Johnny Reb came out to play The Union Army lay in wait The blade of doom would choose his fate Terrible swift sword – bites flesh and screams for war Sings loud as satan grins as he triumphs once again The north has built its industry Their future in the factory The South was close to mother earth Plantation home a right of birth The change in life-styles caused the split But that was just the half of it The thought that all men should be free Would break the bounds of slavery Terrible swift sword – cast a shadow on our land Terrible swift sword – scars our nation like a brand A nation’s tear would pour like rain But that could never ease the pain The enemy we fought, our brothers A lesson to be learned by others But now we have a different game Buttons hell it’s all the same To keep the peace I have a plan We should learn to love our fellow man Terrible swift sword – brings unrest to our world Destruction by it’s hand has scarred the fatherland

We started the game out so young and naive Now you’ve grown older – Now you’ve grown wiser A back stabbing business we could not conceive Why don’t you stay here – Why don’t you play here Women in dark doorways inviting us inside They tried to suppress us while they undressed us Now there’s nowhere left for them to hide How could we know What we could believe You only meant to deceive You and I know Now there’s nowhere left to go The tables are turning Forget all the people you once knew Keep only beside you, friends you know are true Building the future in my mind Destroy all your hopes and leave you far behind Burning bridges, burning in front of you Burning bridges, burning behind An eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth Some of the memories trapped inside your youth Into the darkness we must ride Out of a nightmare leave you in our stride Burning bridges, burning in front of you Burning bridges, burning inside you It’s not a secret anymore It’s what we’ve been waiting for To even the score No way to follow, no way to return Move only forward, - Move only forward When you were younger it didn’t matter Now you’ve grown older – Now you’ve grown wiser When you were younger it didn’t matter Now you’ve grown older – Now you’ve grown wiser Now…

Looking back on how it used to be A faded love oh girl why can’t you see You’re not the same Look what you’re doing to me The dreams we shared The times we spent together Endless love gone forever How long can I go on You’ve changed my mind What’s happened to the times You and me another lost love As time goes by Remember how it was You and me another lost love The lies you told Burning in my soul Your lips so warm Your words so cold Two as one Now I stand here alone It’s hard to hide The pain I felt inside Looking back and now I realize You’re not worth the tears I cried Chorus In the night your tears fall into day A voice so near and yet so far away Begging me to come and stay When I was young your cries rang in my ears Love has gone and with it went my tears On your own to face the lonely years Chorus

Sometimes it seems – it was never meant to be – the answers so unclear That’s when it comes to mind - another place in time Only the truth to fear Certain things that you don’t understand Still your calling is your mind’s command Someday you might see how For the knowledge there’s a price you pay The truth is never very far away So who’s the victim now When you get the feeling that you’ve been here before, maybe it’s just a feeling, or it’s something more, like someone’s calling you if you have the time I think That you can find the key To unlock the door into your own worst misery Part of what you’re looking for is deeply suppressed in your dreams Picking up the pieces in – nocturnal extremes Nothing more – deep inside Hidden realities you never face In your mind – a place in time – your innerspace Close your eyes – you are there Happens as soon as you turn out the light Without delay you’re on your way – lost in the night Another world – it’s another there Keeping the balance between time and space Leaving you with a memory that you can never erase I’ve been screaming – no repeal Am I dreaming – or is it real Tell me… Now and then you wake and you wonder while It’s still fresh in your mind And you don’t know where it is This funny place you’ve been to Another place in time I’m obsessed – afraid to rest The feelings grow stronger and stronger each day Haunting me – taunting me – to go away I’m growing weak – afraid to speak Still slipping further and further away Coming back – still intact – but never to stay I’ve been there – what a scare I caught a glimpse of the horror in store A world of pain – a world insane – no metaphor It’s another world – another place Keep the balance between time and space Leaving you – with a memory – you can never erase I’ve been screaming – no repeal Am I dreaming – or is it real Tell me…

In forty-two the world has burning A massive power play The vicious war machine Was turning faster every day From evil minds did evil come And searching ways to kill Using underwater pathways To perform their ill Their U-boats came and took their place In the deadly game Running low in darkened silence Terror built their name The German Wolfpacks start to plunder On the North Atlantic seas The devastation from down under Brought men to their knees Their fate was sealed Wrapped in steel No escape From Iron Coffins The Nazi-Terror from below Didn’t last for long As time went by they could not see The allies were too strong Countless young men lost their lives In a death without disgrace The solemn sea would not reveal Their final resting place Their fate was sealed Wrapped in steel A frozen grave In Iron Coffins
