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

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

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

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, 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

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

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
