    1. Silenced

      No right to live in freedom no right to live in peace dropping bombs on children feeding hate
      And fear the coming generation learns to suffer and destroy without even knowing what
      They're fighting for

      Can't you see what's going on outside? our mission is a new tomorrow
      So many lives got nowhere to hide and no chance to change things for a better world
      They have been silenced and left in the dark

      You can smell the perfume ofdeath lying on the ground
      Killing in our modern world it doesn't make a sound
      People take their pleasure in causing suffering and pain
      The healing waters running dry our babylon will fall again

      Can't you see what's going on outside? our mission is a new tomorrow
      So many lives got nowhere to hide and no chance to change things for a better world

      Our life seems to be so bright
      Safe in our cities of gold
      Standing still anddoing what we're told
      Cause it's not our business at all
      People that suffered for such a long time
      And the world with its interests is
      Standing aside they have been silenced and left in the dark

      They die that we can live
      They starve that we can eat
      They are tortured while we're sleeping
      Still have no bad dreams
      Manipulate statistics
      Clouding out the truth
      But in our patterns of behaviour
      It wouldn't change things if we knew
      We learned to be silent
      So let's keep it dark

      Look what they are doing,
      Behind their ugly walls
      They are a demographic danger,
      They are born to live in war
      You are a victim of wour birth,
      I see the enemy within
      I see what you are
      And i can see what you have been
      The problem must be solved
      We can solve it
      I am sure for every friend of mine,
      I'll kill a hundred friends of yours"

      The world keeps on turning while innocents die how much guilt can you take in one life?
      But we have learned to sleep well in the night

      People that suffered for such a long time
      But we have learned to sleep well in the night
      Cause they have been silenced and left far behind

    2. Breathe In, Breathe Out

      The world is flowing through me, with all the pleas
      But am i truly feeling it?
      The world is flowing through me, with all the love and happiness
      But i don't feel it anymore

      Far removed from a cosmic vision
      Far removed from a new reality

      Breathe in, breathe out
      I feel the time is coming near
      Breathe in, breathe out
      I know that it was meant for me
      If I knew the right question
      Is there an answer to be found
      Breathe in, breathe out

      Is there something beyond reason
      Where does it all begin, and will there come a time when it will end?
      If we are able to see, have we not learned to look away
      Until we meet each other again?

      Far removed from a cosmic vision
      Far removed from a new reality

      Breathe in, breathe out
      I feel the time is coming near
      Breathe in, breathe out
      I know that it was meant for me
      If I knew the right question
      Is there an answer to be found
      Breathe in, breathe out

      Breathe in, breathe out
      I feel the time is coming near
      Breathe in, breathe out
      I know that it was meant for me
      If I knew the right question
      Is there an answer to be found
      Breathe in, breathe out

    3. Where Should I Go

      Hurry up, little boy,
      I can tell you where you find your dreams
      All the neonlights show you things are not what they seem
      And if you call me, I'll be your mind
      I will give you all the good things that your heart will never find
      And if you join me on this crazy trip you have to leave your doubts behind

      Îîh, get me out of this dream
      Îîh, take me away from this screen
      Îîh, where can I go from here rlght now

      Break the golden rule that keeps hiding your head in the crowd
      Kill the fears that keep you from the treasure that is yours to be found
      And if you need me,i will be there
      To show you places full of satisfaction that you thought you'd never find
      And if you feel that no-one cares for you 'cause one is best,you're number two

      Îîh, get me out of this dream
      Îîh, take me away from this screen
      Îîh, where can i go from here rlght now

      Where are the days we lazed in nowhere land?
      The inner voice shows us things are more than they seem

      Where is the walrus now that leads us through his english garden?
      The meadows of silence the places where we dreamed

    4. Masters Of War

      Come you masters of war
      You that build all the guns
      You that build the death planes
      You that build that big bombs
      You that hide behind walls
      You that hide behind desks
      I just want you to know
      I can see through your masks

      You that never done nothin'
      But build to destroy
      You play with my world
      Like it's your little toy
      You put a gun in my hand
      And you hide from my eyes
      And you turn and run farther
      When the fast bullets fly

      Like judas of old
      You lie and deceive
      A world war can be won
      You want me to believe
      But i see through your eyes
      And i see through your brain
      Like i see through the water that runs down my drain

      Let me ask you one question
      Is your money that good
      Will it buy you forgiveness
      Do you think that it could
      I think you will find
      When your death takes its toll
      All the money you made will never buy back your soul

      And I hope that you die
      And your death will come soon
      I will follow your casket
      In the pale afternoon
      And I'll watch while you're lowered
      Down to your deathbed
      And I'll stand over your grave til I'm sure that you're dead

    5. This Is Not A Prog Song

      Have you heard their sound
      The new one is the worst they've ever done
      No identity
      Their music is just waster under the sun

      This is definitely just the sort of music
      Can only be a mildly pleasant background
      Noise while you're doing something else

      I know what you don't know what you can't know because i'm a real smart guy if I did what they do it would be great

      They are a german band
      Whî try to play the music of PINK FLOYD
      And so they make their way
      Unable to come up with their own style
      An't fault RPWL for lack of talent, but i rtainly can point out that they are not half as good as I could be

      I know what you don't know
      Because i'm the most underrated guy
      I know what you don't know
      Just to make it rhyme let's bake an apple pie
      I know what you don't know
      What you can't know because I'm a real smart guy

      I know what you dont know if it was up to me they could kiss my ass
      Goodbye to be quite frank they make me fucking sick

    6. I Watch Myself Sleeping

      I sit here and watch myself while i'm sleeping
      I am still, don't want to wake myself up

      Why should I be awake ?
      And why should i be here ?
      It has already been so long, this way

      I sit here and watch myself while i'm sleeping
      I d0n't know for sure how long i've been here

      What if I have to leave and open my eyes ?
      What if I cannot feel myself again ?

      Waves of worlds where no-one's been before
      The light of a new birth is shining through the door
      A multicoloured life to be explored
      And in the end there's the start of somethimng new glve me your hand
      It starts again

    7. Stranger

      I turn my head to see him, i guess it's him or me it's so different how they told me it would be
      I remember we were trained, it's so easy when you hate but i wonder if he has a family
      I know that you can see me, i feel your coming near
      What made you into my enemy ?
      I am shaking, my vision starts to blur
      I wonder if this will be my last day on earth

      I feel a cold shadow coming down close
      Right here beside me the silence explodes
      For maybe the last time i cover my eyes

      I've never been a hero, not even for one day
      So why did god pick me out and leave me in this way
      A couple of steps and a couple of thoughts
      Not long enough to put right what i have done wrong
      That sound is so familiar, did he do it? was it me ?
      I see a thousand stars, i hear mankind scream

      I feel a cold shadow, coming down near
      Right here beside me, plays with my fear
      And for the last time i cover my eyes

      I will do it better next time, but for now it's said and done
      Lying here forgotten, scared and alone
      To fight for a world where there is space for everyone
      Take the chance to live in peace and to have faith in what we are

      The people i have loved, what did I do with my hate
      The dreams that they dreamed right before we played fate
      And for the first time I open my eyes

    8. Alone And Scared

    (Instrumental)

    9. Talk To The River

      Holding your necklace in my hands
      Sitting on a carpet made of our memories
      I see the colours of my life
      Looking at the pictures you painted for me
      Touched by the shadows of the past
      Talking to you makes me believe again
      The wind is whispering in my ears
      Come pick me up and sail away with me

      I talk to the river of time
      Open my eyes to see the sign
      I need to feel the rhythm of your heart
      Your heartbeat close to mine
      And see your smile again

      Don't go against the flow
      That's what you told me when i lost my way
      I understood the words too late
      Now without you all meaninq fades to grey
      And still i look up to the sky .
      Waiting in the sundown for the first star i can see
      You always said that i will feel
      This is your soul that will cai? for me

      I talk to the river of time
      Reaching out to catch the sl6n
      If there's a reason for the sun to rise again
      Let me know and i'll be there ,
      And talk to the river of time
      Open my eyes to see the sign
      I need to feel the rhythm of your heart
      Your heartbeat close to mine
      And see your smile again

      (listening to the river)

      Reaching the place where the healing rivers flow
      The forests of forgiveness where the ancient gods still roam
      The heart of all creation, the source of stars and sun
      Where light's the same as darkness
      And the beginning is equal to the end
      Feel divine inspiration that goes downward on the earth

      I talk to the river of time
      Reaching out to catch the sl6n
      If there's a reason for the sun to rise again
      Let me know and i'll be there ,
      And talk to the river of time
      Open my eyes to see the sign
      I need to feel the rhythm of your heart
      Your heartbeat close to mine
      And see your smile again

    10. Choose What You Want To Look At

      Choose what you want to look at
      My credit card never fails, i can buy what i want,
      It's alive deep inside, it makes me feel strong
      Someone checked out my code, using words to confuse,
      I am only a part of demographic groups
      Eat fresh, draught keg, got a beer on it
      Get fresh, that's right, i'm lovin it,
      I can feel this passion to perform
      Reptiles in disguise upon the walls
      Do you really think you choose what you want to look at?

      Just walking down the road, been persuaded to drink
      Official gear of the games, nobody can resist
      Come and break from the crowd, i am three beers strong
      Life is better when you buy so give me what i want
      Music sells and compels me to try on something new
      Best on earth, it's your turn so change your point of view
      Huge meals but hate late, i need brawn for my brain
      I hope i'll find what i need, before i go insane

      Younger, smaller, taller, and packed full of flavol
      Tighter, thinner, smaller, i'm crazy for this stuff yeah
      Business, made for business, (we're) lost in a world without limits
      We made it, we break it, destroy what's trying to destroy you

      Of course i can't resist, how should i've known what i have missed
      Please dont stop giving what i don't need
      Do you still feel dismissed, just put some more things on your list
      Please don't stop giving what i don't need

      Perfect skin, stout with love, almost double blonde
      Don't ever feel full-up there's always room for one mor
      The return of the prince, and his hidden desires
      Primal urge or charade that we never require
      Best buy, best place, who's next, who's right
      Push the button, take control, make me enjoy my life
      Save money live better, think outside the bun
      No problem, we're looking to the futurechoose what you want to look at

    11. Turn Back The Clock

      If we could only turn back the clock would everything we did work out the same
      Born without sorrows I am sitting here imagining a world as it should be
      For the answers to our being
      For the history we share
      For the highs and lows we journeyed
      For the love our world has never found

      Hope that we may find peace
      Someday we'll know who we are
      Learning from the past and history will expose our fears

      A world of illusions is what we've achieved without asingle clue to Why we're here
      We could find an answer, we could find a way but we bury problems in the ground
      For the answers to our being
      For the history we share
      For the highs and lows we journeyed
      For the love our world has never found

      Hope that we may find peace
      Someday we'll know who we are
      Learning from the past and history will expose our fears

      Aaaah ...

      All we try and all we do
      All we ask and all we knew
      All the all the things that we've been through
      We've still not reached the dream of

      If we could only turn back the clock would we live in a world we share in peace

    12. Reach The Sun

      The warm and cosy earth around me is all I need
      Standing in the moonlight, it feels so good to be free
      I felt so sure you'd be always on my side

      Safe in the knowledge that everything is fine
      Sure that your care and love would always be mine
      What do you want from me, tell me how I can do better
      I didn't want to trouble you but I can't stand this pressure
      What have I done ?
      How should i have known ?
      Oh my father, tell me why was I so wrong ?
      Oh my father, how could I have been so wrong ?

      Watch over me, I have everything I need,
      Feel the wind and feel the rain, let the children come and play again
      Leaving me here, forever safe and sound
      To love and grow so long as I can reach the sun

      All my arms are dancing with the wind,
      How did it come to be you're ashamed of me
      Without warning you're cutting me down to size
      I know there's no escape, you're the one I love
      So sure it's only me who is doing wrong
      So I'm dancing with the birds to the rhythm of what life could be
      They call me good and beautiful, but nothing's left of me

      Watch over me, I have everything I need,
      Feel the wind and feel the rain, let the children come and play again
      Leaving me here, forever safe and sound
      To love and grow so long as I will live

      What have I done ?
      How should I have known ?
      Oh my father, tell me why was I so wrong ?
      Oh my father, how could I have been so wrong ?

      Watch over me, I have everything I need
      Feel the wind and feel the rain, let the children come and play again
      Leaving me here, forever safe and sound
      I always thought if there's an end, the end is love
