Sacrifice No, I can't see tomorrow when I close my eyes There is no tomorrow, my gift is of no use What's the horse on the shore waiting for? See, today wears a mask, today is a shadow Today is meant to drag down, shelter and devour Today is a gift fading beforehand Today is a feast ending too early break: Albeit unseen, albeit unveiled There's a troublemaker Hiding heavy secrets If I don't see tomorrow then it must be black It's a land of sorrow full of deadened groans Tomorrow has no colors, it feels like the night It's a pile of cinders instead of a fire They did raze tomorrow to the ground 2. Rhythm of Time What's outside? The beat of the nation The stadium of Zonk The heart of the city The real world Retaliation Burning flags The pressure of daily life Nothing to be afraid of We believe in the future of the human race What's inside? The pulsing blood Turmoil and chaos Noises, images The rhythm of time We dream of the mating season Feel a coming tidal wave We want to run but cannot move 'Cause we're embedded in concrete chorus: come on Sixty three Who's mister X? Get up We live in a fairy tale We swim along with the whales We dream of evergreen trees Wake up in heart-rending cries Good morning What's above Desire, survival An almighty God Like a hanging sword New planets to conquer 3. Moldavia It flies The U-Fly gets in your ear The U-Fly gets to your brain The U-Fly sticks on your nerves Grips on your blood pressure Drives you to more pleasure U-Fly magic touch on your head Down to your tips Now start to move and dance Now start to groove in trance Stand up, you electronic insect Stand up, you electronic force No sign of mortal bite Just keep on flying, all right! Now, you're an electronic insect Now use your electronic force Blood pressure More pleasure It flies 4. Trigger 2 (Anatomy of A Shot) [instrumental] 5. Gripped By Fear Recession repression regression Recession repression regression Shifts of scenery And warning tremors of landslides The sky comes down The mountains move aside Your kingdom slips out of your hands The sky comes down The mountains move aside Your kingdom slips out of your hands Your tyranny I was part of Is now cracking On every side And your own life Is in danger Your empire Is on fire The staggering blows Are shaking the walls Nowhere, no place to hide this time The staggering blows Are shaking the walls Nowhere, no place to hide this time Your tyranny I was part of Is now cracking On every side And your own life Is in danger Your empire Is on fire Is on fire Is on fire Is on fire Is on fire There is more sand than oil in your engine Calm down, flare up, flare up Calm down, flare up, flare up Calm down, flare up, flare up Calm down, flare up, flare up Your tyranny I was part of Is now cracking On every side And your own life Is in danger Your empire Is on fire 6. Tragedy >For You< With that skill that was hers alone She drove her clutches into me I was dumbfounded She was hungry She required me entirely All that's left is here to remain It's a dull and cruel pain That passes the ages unaltered Her stamp is in my heart I still feel disemboweled I clearly retain A blank The void The sore in my soul The mark in my heart Her acid reign Hot sun, global fun Needed action, start to run Hot sun, global fun Needed action, start to run Start to run Start to run Start to run The sore in my soul The mark in my heart Her acid reign [Red Rover, Red Rover Send David right over] And that voice that was hers alone Still resounds in me She left me dislocated Disavowed And twitching Her rhythm is in my heart She inspired in me An acute sense of treachery Hot sun, global fun Needed action, start to run Hot sun, global fun Needed action, start to run I clearly retain [Needed action, start to run] A blank [Needed action, start to run] The void [Needed action, start to run] The sore in my soul The mark in my heart Her acid reign Her acid reign 7. The Untold It darkens our sayings [Darkens our sayings] Curses our wills [Curses our wills] Forces our needs [Forces our needs] Lessens our skills [Lessens our skills] The untold Rottens our actions [Bites our soul] Peels our heart [Digs our grave] Punishes disclosure And never gets rattled The untold The untold Rottens our actions [Bites our soul] Peels our heart [Digs our grave] Punishes disclosure And never gets rattled It's the untold The untold [The untold] Raises our greed [Raises our greed] Glides on the air [Glides on the air] Circles around [Circles around] The dive in the shelter [The dive in the shelter] The paper one crinkles [The paper one crinkles] It's the untold, the untold [Rottens our actions] Rottens our actions Leaks our failures You don't believe me? 8. Neurobashing Pull up Pull down, yeah! Cool off Cool down, yeah! Put the pain out of me, yeah! Cool off Cool up Jan up, yeah! Jezebel spirit... Heh, eh, eh I got to tell it yeah! I've got to tell it, take it down! Your father won't tell it... If I don't tell it I'm gonna be ready Cool off Cool down, yeah! Do insist I'm gonna be ready! 9. Leitmotiv 136 Something is wrong He falls Betraying the trust There's a disaster in his life 10. Soul Manager I'm the guide of the lost I'm the friend of the weak From underneath the cowl I'm staring at your soul I see it black, I see it small I feel the weight of the sins you haul I'm the trusting friend you need You're the open book I read chorus: I'm here to save you I see you sail night and day On a sea where the waves Always force you back It won't take me more than one strike To release your soul from the cares of life I'm your guide through the night Through the night to the light I see you sink deeper down In an ocean of pain Always force them down You shouldn't be afraid I'm your everlasting mate Always force you down A voice pierces your ears My words enter your brain *Bonus Track* [[eof]]
