All of the Time

What is it worth, what we did achieve
When we're livin' in a cruel world?
Frequently haunted by hate and grief
While everyone means to be free
Hey! All of the time
I never understood why it's so hart to find
Freedom inside
Now that I know, I blame greed and fits
Searchin' people hoarding more and more
Of the things no one needs to own
Can't buy happiness you can be sure
You just possess what's inside you
Hey! All of the time
I never understood why it's so hart to find
Freedom inside
Now that I know, I blame greed and fits like a glove
Kitsch and bling cause the customer is king and he's
buying pretty things not for needs but he can and he's
working overtime, missing things, missing signs that he's
missing he could need less, waste less, lose less
Time – to get to know yourself - your kids - your friends – your life
Hey! All of the time
I never understood why it's so hart to find
Freedom inside
Now that I know, I blame greed and fits like a glove

Prisoner of Time
03:14

In a prison without bars
I'm caught just in a day that fakes to change
Attempted jailbreaks leaving scars
I'm craving for the day that never fades
Everyday I'm just a prisoner of time
No way out – I am stuck here all my life
Try to make my best to get out of this grime
Cause I'm a prisoner of time
Unlike quite some time before
Words and views are diff'rent now but feel the same
Everyday is just one more
On a pile of similar days I dare to claim
Everyday I'm just a prisoner of time
No way out – I am stuck here all my life
Try to make my best to get out of this grime
Cause I'm a prisoner of time
Everyday I'm just a prisoner of time
No way out – I am stuck here all my life
Everyday - try to get out of this grime
Cause I'm a prisoner of time
I'm a prisoner – a prisoner of time – of time - of time

Burning for You
04:03

|
Now that I look into your eyes
I'm falling for you to my surprise
Because you're just standing here
Like an angel before me
And I just can't take it
Like a runaway fire I burn for you
And I burn with desire you know it's true
I'll do anything for you
I'll be anything you want me to be
And I don't care what it will do to me
Only you can set me free
I felt my heart as one disguised
In this very moment I realised
Because you're just standing here
Like an angel before me
And I just can't take it
And if life tears us apart
It will truely break my heart
But a red flame can turn so blue
Yet you don't know it, but it's true
That I just been dreamin of...

Loud

When our time is up we're gonna
leave without a trace
All achievements made will be
lost in cosmic haze – What's new but
Question is what will we do in the meantime?
Will we make some noise? Or will
fading be our prime? - Give me some
sound! I think
silence is too calm.
You'll get nothing by being quiet or
standing by lukewarm - believe me:
Hiding is the closest, to not
to exist at all.
So give me sound and make some noise!
Before the curtain falls!
Let's be loud – so loud
Let our voices lead the way!
Let's be loud – so loud
'til we all fade away.
When our time is up we're gonna
leave without a trace
All achievements made will be
lost in cosmic haze – that's why I
regret everyday that
lacks of livin' sound!
There's only one way outta this
keep your ear to the ground- Give me some
sound! I think
silence is too calm. There's
better one more word to say than
one more call to arms - believe me:
Ignorance is silent and to
deal with it is loud.
So give me sound and make some noise!
And join the yelling crowd!
Let's be loud – so loud
Let our voices lead the way!
Let's be loud – so loud
'til we're caught by the reaper, doomed to hush eternally
there's no time like lifetime – take a breath and set it free!
Let's be loud – so loud
Let our voices lead the way!
Let's be loud – so loud
'til we all fade away.
We all fade away.

Remembered
04:12
|

When I read the news
I felt like I was punched in the face and I was angry
And I was sad
I do remember how
We met like ages ago in that place and you inspired me
Oh, what you had
Is it a shame? Or is it freedom to go like this?
Or is it just coincidence?
My days are darker now
There seem not only clouds over my head – would something light up
And would I mind?
Is this a void? Or is it selfish what I feel?
Or is it even guilty conscience?
Was it the same – or was it diffrent from what they felt
Was it the line of least resistance?
Oh I know that you'll be remembered -
Remembered you'll be
Oh I know that you'll be remembered -
Remembered you'll be

Driven
04:17

I see awakenings, religious values, suffering
I hear of thousand bombs to kill the infidels
How misguided can the people be by anyone
In the mist of holy wars no one can tell
See me here
standing in the light before you
waiting for a chance just to be heard
Most sincere
I'm trying to stand up for you
Lets see who's falling
And I feel I am driven by the past I am
here and I'm nowhere at all
And I see I'm in hell and in heaven at last fabri-
cations that are beyond recall
We've seen a thousand wars, a billion dead, what was it for?
Believe shall be justification and defense
Made by people, not by gods to fill the void of fear
Is any of that making sense?
See me here
standing in the light before you
waiting for a chance just to be heard
Most sincere
I'm trying to stand up to you
Lets see who's falling

Event Horizon

What time does
To a broken man
Can't be known by you
In darkness
is his soul to find
broken in two
Clinging to the pain
Growing stronger every day
Til it shifts to void
See -
See I got you caught in my event horizon
Hear -
Hear my voice inside your mind
Plea -
Plea for mercy won't prevent the devastation
Fear -
Is the key to eclipse your shine
Bitter taste
Of a broken heart
Of a future taken, too
Paralyzed
Like poison in your veins
Rejecting the truth
Clinging to the pain
Growing stronger every day
Til it shifts to void
