All lyrics have been written by Manfred Thomaser, except "echo of my dreams": Manfred Thomaser & Peter Gorski america abnormous reasons shown without respect hiding what is meant to be later on we may reflect this life ain't easy to steer you see I'm an agent - the master of law my duty needs to be done don't ask any questions why or not I'm praying the religion of the gun rats and dust cover this place there are not many left of my race the system is protecting us I don't know what else to do america wie spät ist es jetzt? america what time is it now? america I see your children growing america where are you going? so very often I dreamt to murder you your nights are burning - mine are blue no kisses in a whole life's time only chains left in rhyme autumn-leaves nervously touched by autumn-leaves I found her in front of the door she stared at me but couldn't see strangled by a life (she felt) unable to flee I cut the rope and caught her fall but didn't know who she was at all instinctively this had all begun would you change what you've done playing the leading part twenty-five frames a second make your life a blockbusting role life ain't a crowded soul she spoke about the garden of colours about the ruins that covered her skin and the beautiful flowers dried up in a sea of sin I awoke at ten and the bed was cold I don’t know if she had been real every now and then life should be bold I force myself upon dreams to seal be thou my vision hey fellas what’s up do you think you are cool the ring around your finger the haircut everyday your cars are bumping like the ladies - ah - ah you are so uncool drugs, sex and rock’n’roll who stole the soul was it the crack inside your head there is no love and the alcohol you eat pushing your children what is it you teach - ah - ah the other day they found you in a cold scottish lake heaven or hell I found you hiphop on the floor the other day they found you in a cold scottish lake heaven or hell I found you it’s cold I’m late black mountain love affair the day was breaking and water falling in a long distance coat dressed in northern light a massive something destroyed all knowledge like a joke starts to laugh screaming mountains we kept the party going on bodies naked we returned to zero moaning with pleasure the screams of life water bubbles raised their hands spoken words betrayed in a book-shop designed in paradise keep on moving - my dear we're living fast - my dear but heaven's still here get up early - we have to run too cold to walk - can't see the sun we don't have to ... moving slowly, moving fast time is changing here at last we have to hide, we have to run this ain't a game, this ain't no fun I'm driving you home falling in love again I want you to know never forget my only advice we're designed in paradise losing you - my dear can't see your face - my dear you're moving too fast echo of my dreams most of us were proud I would say please don’t ask me ‘bout this today kill the enemy - no prisoners allowed today I don’t wanna die rifle fire across the mountain-side we lay in line with eyes open wide no one was sleeping and the will was set to fight I felt myself the precious kingdom’s knight whenever you reach out be careful where you step you could be the echo of my dreams recording my own life I’ve never been so close I’ve never seen the bright side of the night sometimes I awake at night barely nothing to be afraid of but during daytime I still listen to the war-fields pain ten years later I still don’t know what to do and where to go I remember comrades dying in their blood the precious kingdom’s knight crying in the mud faces in the night what is this voice I hear is it far is it near it appears at night with faces out of sight drinking beer the pub was crowded my friends were here - all around I felt the need to be alone became afraid - cold as stone human beings down the street crazy creatures not of my kind they did not seem to notice the voice I had in my mind sometimes I awake in fear I do not know who is near the voice keeps telling me what to do I'm much too clever - I won't follow you fools we are he's coming at night oh fools we are to believe we can fight the seed has been sown no words will touch the skin our lives will be thrown (away) we who believe in heaven or hell fear him ringing the bell we will never surrender but we will never win guided by light you have left but I know where you are masts of sorrow the road you walk a memory to die she steered your life in silent pain now this ship is passing by the wind was rough the masts were aching and while she loved another man the wood was loudly breaking whenever the wind is to change whenever life needs to be re-arranged steer your ship against the stream set sail for your very own dream the fog appeared so cold at night and the rain began to call there was no moon, there was no pride no one left to see you fall and the long and winding path you were walking up and down disappeared the other day guided by a careless frown metal rules for those about to rock - we salute you 'cause metal rules our silent lives but romantic fools we are we love to do it faster and harder evil words we want to preach but no one listens down the beach our sound is catchy girls call it sexy we who like the noise just have no choice we switch on the machines we go for the noise we use drugs and other stuff but in the end we have no choice our music should be a nightmare's tune but lovers go and buy our stuff even we just can't get enough sex'n'cross let me ask a question do you believe in obsession do you create possession or is it just aggression I have lost belief in you once again I smell the truth and your sacred words become a list of lies you are my father, my brother and friend you are god's servant to collect the rent you are the church - you are my boss jesus is still on the cross sex'n'cross - the sign to come jesus naked on the run words of love he was to preach words of lust his children teach come on listen to the waves hey, get out of these caves you are the biggest thief and still you want us to believe I have lost belief in you once again I smell the truth and your sacred words become a list of lies strong saturday night too hot to sleep a chilly summer night I was in too deep so let me tell you this I'm longing for your kiss your lips and your smile we shouldn't wait a while hey listen baby this story is true it's time to fall in love to fall in love with you forget the boys you've ever had tonight this guy is driving you mad driving, falling, moving flying, kissing, grooving and when its dark outside you don't have to hide your eyes are the brightest light get ready for tonight the city the dark side of town that's where I'm livin’ have never seen the sun being poor is a sin they laugh at our pain, they laugh at our poverty they laugh when we cry, they laugh when we die grey skies above the city chimneys smoke their sticky breath once ago this town was pretty but today it smells like death silent faces close to die wash their hands in acid rain I wake up to live this lie again and again and again and again
