1. Crossfire
gunshots fill the air - salute our bliss
night bursts into flames - greets the final kiss
death comes without a sound - rings the wedding bell
target hits the ground - honeymoon in hell
shot - shot by both sides
in a war that wonīt cease
they give their lives
unheard cry for peace
cities under siege - where the snipers strike
lovers out of reach - yearning out in the night
take your lovers hand - meet your destiny
down in nooneīs land - for eternity
Crossfire! Crossfire!
2. Language Of Reality
do you know the ABC
survival guide in real life
put it down in your dictionary
anger, boredom, conformity,
danger, exhaustion, fake,
greed, hunger, injury,
killings, lootings, mad
this isnīt poetry
this is the language of reality
did you learn your ABC
survival guide in real life
gotta learn your vocabulary
nothing, obscene, pain,
queers, rampage, shame,
terror, useless, vanity,
wounded, x-rated, why?
3. Bloodsuckers
loodsuckers
you suck out the oil
for the salt of the earth
you ravage the soil
strip mining mountains
you gauge out the face
you suffocate life
in an asphalt membrane
donīt eat your own heart
īcause you can never win
bloodsuckers
you steel from the earth
youīll kill for the riches
and decide what itīs worth
bloodsuckers
got your values out of whack
youīve been selling your soul
for a greenback stack
4. Fatherland
i see houses burning
iīm ashamed
before you close your eyes denyingly
you better ask yourself
did i choose something i could regret
did i do something
i sould regret
is this the place i used to call -
fatherland
is this the place i used to know -
as fatherland
the silence is illusion
stay awake
i hear children crying in fear and pain
do cowards ask themselves?
5. To the Hilt
woke up - still in a dream
nothingīs the same
conīt pronounce my name
i open my mouth
words come out
that make no sense
for a strangerīs ear
in a foreign language
in a foreign land
now iīm a alien
on a different planet
it makes it clear - i understand
we are all strangers - in a foreign land
burn the bridges
forge ahead
to the hilt
back home i feel insane
nothingīs the same
except for my name
i open my mouth
words come out
that makes no sense
for my loverīs ear
in my native language
in my native land
iīm still the alien
on a different planet
it make it clear - i understand
i am a stranger - in my own land
burn the bridges
forge ahead
to the hilt
6. Iron Man
go shed the old skin -
for the new skin
transgression
let the old flesh-
rotten to trash
resscurection
seize the old laws
riddled by flaws
perfection
open your mind
donīt stay behind
progression
weakness - these days are over
old flesh - replaced by shiny armour
new thoughts - the mind expanding
real tasks - that are demanding
this body is invisible
perfection is the principle
feel the clockwork
of the new heart
precision
feed the engine
of your bloodstream
recondition
move your muscles
like a machine
direction
give your life
a new dimension
extension
7. Inside Out
what happened to my life
what happened to my pride
iīm a victim of your love
i canīt cope with this world no longer
you have my fate in your hands
iīm on the verge of self destruction
i donīt see a way out
if this was your intention
to turn me inside out
whatīs the reason of my life
thereīs no pleasure in my heart
now iīm disillusioned
and i had so much more in mind
8. Paradise Of Sin
in-a-gadda-da-vida baby
god is dead he lost the battle
the devil rules over life and death
feel his power, feel his wrath
hell - this is the paradise of sin
fail - and you will suffer in pain
nail - that son of desaster
sell - your soul to the master
in the garden of evil, baby
the bilbeīs title is helter skelter
take a ride on this rollercoaster
live for sin and die faster
wake - your evil twin
live - your wildest dream
let - the demons in
let - the madness begin
9. Worst Case Scenario
what is happening to me
no one could foresee
i was living on the edge
of catastrophe
thrown off the system
nailed and bare
fish out of water
jumping for air
stranded with no help
outlawed and shunned
luck turned against me
thousand to one
some call it fate
whatīs my reality
world allied against me
fatal conspiracy
i canīt take it, i canīt take it
i canīt take it no more
worst case scenario
in the elevator to heaven iīm stuck
on the lowest level run out of luck
a downward spiral
is sucking me in
my plans for the future
a case for the bin
no glimmering hope
brightens my night
at the end of the tunnel
there is no light
some call it fate
whatīs my reality
world allied against me
fatal conspiracy
10. Shellshocked
like a hermit-unfounded
solitary but proud
i was hiding-behind fences
shutting myself out
crossed my arm-disarmed
loss of self-defence
wouldnīt fight off-haunting memories
crimes without a sense
closed my eyes-blind folded
images of hell
caught inside a vicious circle
retired in my shell
shut my mouth-lips sealed
thereīs no need to tell
wouldnīt share with you the secret
that could break the shell
shellshocked-no escape from dreaming
shellshocked-thereīs no escape from dreaming
11. New Temptation
from me to you
from you to me
speaking flows
and thinking seems free
from me to you
from class to class
speaking ways differ
and chances pass
different speech
makes different minds
words do express
words do possess
the power of temptation
supporting success
there is new creation in mind
there is new temptation in mind
words can distort
words can deceive
brought to perfection
they change belief
words can control
first thoughts then soul
help to prepare
for the final goal
a nation did rise
a nation did fall
a leader created
new ideals for all
there was a word
there was an idea
there was a belief
that thinking is free
