In my times of loneliness I'm wondering What came over me the sight of the light My life's a nightmare every time I open my eyes It makes me wanna fall to sleep blinded by the morning sun Chorus: Sweet dream lonely night Sweet dream another lonely night, so lonely Take the past it's just a dream Reality is present and fiction's not clear Take my hand I'll show you the way I don't care if I'm wrong or right As long as I set my sweet dreams tonight Chorus In my life I feel despair every day but you can't see My eyes filling with tears Broken dreams from an endless night Reborn from the ashes of a previous life Chorus

People are lying they keep on trying To live where they can be free They jam into boats with a knife at their throats It's a problem for you not for me The trouble is politicians rule with an iron hand The trouble is the threat's alive among the living and the dead Children are crying people are starving We say we're helpless it's their destiny Countdown to disaster before and after Is all the same but with a different name and that's all The trouble is black and white are turning into grey The trouble is it's getting hard just to get the time of day I get up at night and I can't find the light As I stumble in total darkness I'm writing this song To point the finger at what's wrong But words of wisdom seem to escape me The trouble is you got no right to tell us right from wrong The trouble is it's just too bad if you don't like this song The trouble is you politicians can't understand The trouble is that we the people will fight 'till the end

Sent out to war in the middle of nowhere Licensed to kill and a long way from home War slaughters the earth War you're sent to the front And your life is fading away There's no coming back so prepare for the final attack This child unborn holds a terrible curse Where time stands still he's a soldier at work War slaughters the heart War sent to the front And your life is fading away There's no coming back you'll die in the land of the brave In the land of the brave it's the land of the grave And now the end has become part of us The earth is black and the battle is lost War surrenders the earth War sent to the front And your life is fading away There's no coming back we all die in the land of the brave It's the land of the grave No coming back so prepare for the final attack

They say they have come to save the world Maybe they will I'll bet you they won't They carry a crucifix deceiving the weak delivering the wrong Chorus: Back off preacher stay away Don't you know hell is to pay Back off don't hang around here no more Back off you got wicked ways with law The devil sells you ever more And you will give and they will take Until you're old enough to die Chorus You know my brother you have sinned But it's alright you're old and you're wise From the beginning 'till the end your truth is a lie Your fate is in the sky Back off preacher stay away Don't you know hell is to pay We don't need your stupid lies Don't victimize us, stop Back off don't hang around here no more Back off you got wicked ways with law

I've been wondering why when I look to the sky Everything seems to be fading And the feeling I get when I try to forget All of those things will drive me mad Chorus: Close your eyes you will see you've got no choice just let it be And rise above the earth and sky fall into the abyss of night Prepare to die Every day of my life is a long endless night Fear of the dark will make me scream This nightmare will end when my time is close at hand Thy spirit of death will make me rise Chorus There's a beast in my dream and it's pointing right at me Got an evil stare into its eyes Makes me lose my mind I hope that someday I will find The perfect time for me to leave Chorus

You've got the right to remain silent But anything you do and say will be held against you You've got the time to do some thinking boy You know you have been caught in the act Breaking the rules And now they'll break you no one will save you Rot in your cell. It's a living nightmare and you better beware Cause one day you'll wish you were dead It's hard to be free when our sick society is caught in the act You're breaking the rules and you're living like a fool Who's caught in a trap They build the wall around the prisoner And lock the door then throw away the key Confined in darkness 'till the sunrise You're a victim of your crime criminal in your mind And now they'll break you no one will save you Rot in your cell. It's a living nightmare you were warned to beware And now you wish you were dead It's hard to be free when our sick society is caught in the act You're breaking the rules and you're living like a fool Who's caught in the act You live a life of no tomorrow And build your dreams with hatred and revenge So many years will go behind you You're a king without a throne a drifter on your own No one will break you no one will touch you You'll break by yourself You're a living nightmare we were warned to beware And now that you wish you were dead It's hard to be free when our sick society is caught in the act You're breaking the rules you're living like a fool You're caught in a trap Don't try to understand, run away, run away
A time to live a time to die And one to cherish your precious life One chance to win you're born to lose One day you're going to pay Pay with the days of your life Pray until death do us part You laugh about eternal life The secrecy you believe in Afraid to run don't look behind You can't escape from yourself, no way So ride with your fears in your heart And pray until death do us part Fear's in your heart 'till death do us part You hear the sound of a distant scream The voice of heaven is calling Dark as the night you're cold as ice And now you shall rest in peace Ride through the deep of the night And pray until death do us part

Look in the dark through the eyes of the night Tell me what do you see? Are you afraid for your life well I am and it's blackening me I see a face in the night a voice is shouting my name Shadows of the past are recalling me, set me free Ride with the sword in your hand And some day with the sword you will die Live the blade of the damned but never return, no never I see a face in the night and now you're shouting my name Shadows of past are returning I feel a threat for my life it's like the scream in the night I am a threat for your life I'm a scream in the night So listen to me when I ask you today Will the past make us strong Are we just learning to die are we learning to crawl as we fall I am the face in the night and now I'm shouting your name Shadows of past are recalling Pointing at you and now you're down on your knees You're praying god to believe that life and death are eternal You crawl

I'd like to set the record straight I ain't got time to waste So don't even try to reform me From the beginning I was never a child Had to fight my way I was hardly alive Day after day I couldn't turn away Chorus: Don't ever try to change what you can't understand Live your life on the sharp edge I can see the light of day and glory may cross my way It's a hard life to live and to love But I guess you know that from the first day I was bound to win I ain't a loser I'm willing to sin, nothing can stop me Aiming for the top of the world Chorus I don't believe in written laws Why should we try to equal god There's a beast within each and everyone So when you come across the likes of me you better stay out of trouble I ain't got what you need leave me alone Never say never again

All day long I'm pushed around I just can't take this shoving anymore Life ain't fun when passion is none day passes by so very slow State of shock breaks apart my sanity to pieces Makes me feel so unreal got me in a barrelhouse State of shock The same old story happens every day A dream comes by and then... ah take it away It makes me realize that more is maybe less And number one's the best fuck all the rest State of shock breaks apart my sanity to pieces Makes me feel so unreal got me in a barrelhouse State of shock Hey where is everybody goin? I'll tell you once then again I'll tell you twice This state of mind won't take us to paradise So turn on the power keep it for yourself One must learn to live in self defense
