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
