Hate Comes To Town
04:17
|
|

kids are lined up on the sidewalk
and the marching band does play
happy people all in rapture
and there is no sign
of the darkness that is coming
of the hellhounds in tow
of the bloodthirsty fellas
that are there to make the rounds again
that are there to change your life
that are there to bring the pain
on the day when the hate comes to town
hide your friendly homosexuals
cause their life is on the line
hide your neighbouring transsexuals
cause there ain't no time
no time for rational discussion
no time for making any friends
no time for soothing the anxiety
and there ain't no way to the paradise
and there ain't no way for you to realize
and there ain't no way to be free
on the day when the hate comes to town
to the ones who join the witch hunt
who like to hassle all the fags
who point their fingers at the wrong ones
you are dark inside
you would cry like a baby
if your life was on the line
and nobody there to help you
when the wolves are on your tail again
marching girls and marching males again
and the breeze of hell in your neck
on the day when the hate comes to town

Man Without A Home
03:08
|
|

every day I walk around
find a place to settle down
right in front of any door
make my bed there on the floor
I'm the man without a home
sometimes they will let me be
sometimes they will shout at me
treat me like an animal
avoid me like a cannibal
I'm the man without a home
I don’t need no shelter man
I don’t need no promised land
I am rich and I am free
I don’t need no sympathy
I'm the man without a home
bring me liquor bring me food
if thats what you like to do
I don’t care about your soul
I don't care about your gold
I'm the man without a home
toss the coin right in my can
I might be your jesus man
showing you the destiny
the destiny of vanity
I'm the man without a home
people wonder what I am
phoenix of the rotten land
jesus of these modern times
smiled at or unrecognized
wanna live all by myself
I don’t need no fucking help
I don't need to play the game
after all it's all the same
I'm the man without a home

Love Is All We Have
04:24
|
|

waiting there in line
for another piece of sidewalk
longing for the end
in a damoclean timebomb
razor bladed trees
form the purgatorial skyline
at the end of the horizon
waits a bottle full of sunshine
you're pounding at the door
and then you tell me that you feel much more
you want me to know
what I dont know
but I know
that I dont know
you hold on to the line
love is all we have
love is all we have
the domino of lies
in the pocket of a slingshot
the mystery of life
that is coming to a full stop
needles in your eyes
falling down like bitter raindrops
surrounded by the storm
in a never-ending black box
the fog is dense, the light is low
nowhere to hide and nowhere to go
you want me to know
what I dont know
but I know
that I dont know
you hold on to the line
love is all we have
love is all we have
and if my heart is in the terror of decline
and if my brain was made to hate you down the line
and if my bones tell me to go
you still want me to know
what I dont know
but I know
that I dont know
you hold on to the line
love is all we have
love is all we have

you're turning right
and you're turning wrong
into a world where you never belong
you're feeling high
and you're feeling low
you're like a machine that is really slow
you walk on by
and you're riding on
into the clouds that are coming down
the time is fast
and the time is slow
the time is more than what you wanna know
you walk in the shade
and you wait for the sun
you're feeling sad
but you wanna have fun
change the side of the road
you wanna try
but you dont know how
to leave the life that you're leading now
it’s in your soul
and it’s in your heart
you change the side and you turn the cards
the shouting ace
and the humble deuce
the fucking fate is on the loose
it’s not your god
and it’s not your move
the running time will decide for you
you walk in the shade
and you wait for the sun
you're feeling sad
but you wanna have fun
change the side of the road

Soldier
03:18

I hear the salvo of eternity
I hear the screams of burning souls
I hear the roars across the battlefield
there is no dawn ... there is no dawn
the smell of blood the sound of butchery
my gun is pointing at the door
the door to ending all the villainy
a long way home ... a long way home
will I ever find the key
to the door of eternity
otherwise I will keep on killing
in the moonlight
in the sunshine
in the eyes of the lord
all these women
all these children
killing so many more ... so many more
I take my gun and carry on
I walk for days across the battlefield
nobody left so I move on
my mind is blown my conscience gone
you tell me what I do is wrong
but you’re the ones that turn me on
you are the reason for this song
will I ever find the key
to the door of eternity
otherwise I will keep on killing
in the moonlight
in the sunshine
in the name of the lord
all these women
all these children
killing so many more ... so many more

Sword In Our Name
03:04
|
|

we were standing by the fire
we were standing hand in hand
we were burning with desire
we were burning our friend
all the people they were crying
all the people were ashamed
for we didnt try to save him
from the sword in our name
taken by the darkness
taken by the cold
we praise the vanity of gold
taken by the preacher
taken by the force
drowning in remorse
you can hear the burning branches
you can hear the screeching steam
and the fire fiercely dances
so how does it make you feel
well the fire it is burning
far off in a foreign land
and the gears of doom are turning
but in piety we stand
faces blackened by the power
bloody flowers in their eyes
what a shady bunch of cowards
what a dirty hunk of lies
taken by the darkness
taken by the cold
we praise the vanity of gold
taken by the preacher
taken by the storm
drowning in remorse

Black-Eyed Boy
04:17

black-eyed boy, you’re the black-eyed boy
where did you get in trouble little black-eyed boy
black-eyed boy, you’re the black-eyed boy
fire is your favorite toy
you got played and you got betrayed
ended up in line with your silent fate
you had your love and you had your life
beaten down all the time
you were sent to hell, you were hit by stones
and every time you fell you were left alone
your lessons learned and your fingers burned
you’re waiting for the tide to turn
black-eyed boy, you’re the black-eyed boy
where did you get in trouble little black-eyed boy
black-eyed boy, you’re the black-eyed boy
fire is your favorite toy
you wanted joy and you wanted fun
but all you ever got was a loaded gun
to shoot your dreams and to kill your name
to turn into a number that plays the game
you took the gun and you changed the rules
you wanted to show these fascist fools
a real life heart and soul
will you find your way, will you find your path
will you ever leave behind all the grapes of wrath
is it in your heart, is it on your mind
the fire in your eyes leads to paradise
will you settle down, will you change the beat
will you finally be able to enjoy your sleep
in a world of hate, in a world of shame
where everybody is to blame
you wanted joy and you wanted fun
but all you ever got was a loaded gun
to shoot your dreams and to kill your name
to turn into a number that plays the game
you took the gun but you changed the rules
you wanted to show these fascist fools
a real life heart and soul

Your God Is A Mirror
02:29
|
|

you're made out of money
you're made out of lies
you make up the dreams
you stick to my eyes
you keep us from seeing
the world as it is
instead you are feeding us
a heavenly bliss
so bad is the feeling
of doubt and despise
the meaning of living
is kept in disguise
your god is a mirror
right up on the wall
one day we will wake up
to find out the lies
we've turned into nothing
but your merchandise
one day we'll be shattered
and finally know
we have sold you everything
our body, mind and soul
no make up can cover
the hole in your face
no perfume can hide
the stench of disgrace
your god is a mirror
right up on the wall

Children Of The Night
04:40

|

thinking of you
walking away
roaming the universe
defying time and space
thinking of me
trying to pray
for all these many souls
who simply lost their way
I’m hearing you cry
I’m hearing you laugh
it’s all in my mind
a mirror out of broken glass
it’s easy to dream
in the peace of the night
harder to get by
on memories in the morning light
we’re right in your heart
we’re never apart
don’t take it so hard
why don’t you look up at the stars
we are the children of the night
we are right here but out of sight
we are the children of the night
turn off the light
abandoning time
abandoning here
leaving the rocky road
the painful path of fear
taking the train
to eternity
breaking free from
their burdening sympathy
thinking its right
thinking its wrong
there is so much on my mind
when I sing this little song
nothing to pray
nothing to do
no way to bring you back
no need to wait for you
we’re right in your heart
we’re never apart
don’t take it so hard
why don’t you look up at the stars
we are the children of the night
we are right here but out of sight
we are the children of the night
turn off the light
