TESTI:
Sacrifice
Too much time to get lost in the maze
Tell me isn't that strange
You bleed to get there - you are ready
To be a bird in a golden cage
Sweat is breacking on my brow
Where's the freak to ease my pain
Room is dark and big and empty
Silence driving me insane
Night has fallen - demons laughing
I'm waiting for the light of day
Here's the land of milk and honey
There you got the price to pay
Searching for shelter
Riding the pendulum to paradise
As I'm reaching higher - what a pure desire
I'm swinging back towards the edge
And I drift away - killing sacrifice
Here I go insane
What a price to pay - little sacrifice
I set off to heaven and found bedlam
There's a part of me that's not been sold
Save me please embrace me hold me
Kiss my bleeding soul
You can't see below the creature
That's pounding sitting in my neck
If you see inside my head
You surely wouldn't turn your back on me
I'm looking for shelter
Riding the pendulum to paradise
As I'm reaching higher - what a pure desire
I'm swinging back towards the abyss
And I drift away...
Nothing remains the same
But still I hear those voices
Nothing remains the same
Where am I gonna go is it my destination
Or just a sick temptation
And I remember home when demons came
And I got swept away from me
Rocket Ride
I sought salvation but I found insanity
Lost in a mass I returned to profanity
I've been reaching for the sky
But I am stuck with my feet, down in concrete
Don't you run away now, don't you be afraid
You know there is a meaning, whoah oh oh
Don't you run away now, don't you live a lie
There's more to life than struggle, take a rocket ride
Suffering my way with divine aspiration
I failed to resist the sweetest temptation
Been stuck to religion 'till I've clung to the pie
You never really miss it, until you really try
Tried to jump but held down by concrete
The venery surrounding my feet...
Oh I've tried to reach higher
On and on but my flesh is too weak
Been searching for answers - I've been led to the fire
There must be a reason for us to be down here
Oh I'm drifting - temptation
carried out to the sea - I'm drifting away...
I'm a piledriver - piledriver...
Wasted Time
The dream is over - no one to take the blame
we believed in roses but only thorns remained
And I look into the rear view mirror
We create and we destroy
Put our blood into a street with a dead end
Walk up that stairway to jump off into the black
Here we go
We go all the way - Do we need the pain
Walking up in a black tomorrow
I've been there before - Was it all wasted again
We go all the way - Do we need the pain
Walking up in a black tomorrow
I've been there before - Was it all just wasted time
Maybe I am different Maybe I'm a fool
And I wonder if it's worth it
Trying to find another you
And I look into that rear view mirror
just to see how fucked I look
While I drive along that street with a dead end
Like a moth to a flame it's gonna suck me into pain
Here we go...
What are we heading for - Why do I dare again
Once bitten twice shy and still we never learn
So here I'm lying - A leisure - poet in pain
Involuntary loner I know life is just a game
Where nobody gets out alive - A sedative shot for me
No happy man gets out alive - neither of us you will see
Matrix
Into the matrix...
I see your face in a masquerade
I see your made up smile
When the show is over then what is left behind
It's in your eyes It's in your head
How come they say opposites attract
When all you feel is a struggle deep inside
Don't tell no lies - no more disguise
I'm tracing the matrix of my life
The damage is done you don't belong
Deep down in the matrix
I'm feeling pushed from left to right
is this the way it's meant to be
is my destiny to be crawling on my knees
Now who is right and who is wrong
Who is the one that won't belong
Who's for real and who's just pretending to be...
Return To The Tribe
Road lies ahead
And a long road lies behind me
I see lights passing by
And I know It's the time of our lives
A million miles
lightyears I've been travelling
To watch and enjoy this world
And I've seen ass galore
I'm musing over it all
closing my eyes to remember it all
embracing the past and the future to come
kiss the road that leads me to my tribe
I've found my way home
I'll return to where I belong
Back to where I stem from
Back to paradise
Time to return to the tribe
The other side - always close to the edge
Been walking a thin line
Always knew someone watched my step
A mistery to make it out alive and sane
the battle is over
And I know who's been with me
Now I'm musing over it all
On top of this world I remember it all
Awaiting that sunrise and sunset at home
kiss the way that leads me to my tribe...
I've seen battlefields, drunk drummers,
japanese hotel toilets,
piesel tuning guitars
and A.C. being my personal slave...
The Asylum
Crying in the still of the night
A yearning for shelter
Silence kissing your wounds
Soothing your pain
Darkness - and what do they know
Bout losing direction clutch at a straw
cherish the hope to make it finally home...
You
longto be see - through
So nobody can tell
Whenever they made you
Bleed your pride away
Now you're driven by one track mind
Initiating you - splendid flowers
Blossom from the wounds
The stronger the poison
The sweeter smells the bloom
Don't you try to stand your ground
cause you're only coming home
To the heart of fire
You're home - found asylum
in a world where the broken dance
On shards of glass
I see fire - ruins and fire - and fire
In a world where the broken dance
With shattered dreams
It's burning inside you this emotional hell
And you keep on smiling upon the icy tiles
A stream of fire to sweep the fears away
Seems like forever
Too long you've had to wait
Plunge in darkness for wicked harmony
Little angel thrown away
Sure'll be back another day
Now see the cornered children
I see them off the beaten track
Embracing and crying
Freezing and dying
Concealed humiliation
Now let them dance
Liberation cruelty-free
Dance towards the gallows-tree
Bogyman was sought and found
Bogyman has found a home
In the heart of fire
He's found his asylum...
Save Me
Waiting for a little sign
Seems like to no avail
Strolling down the pavement aimlessly
She is praying for someone
To snatch her bag of memories
How come you call it destiny
When the cross you bear is
Your only company
Never seen you
I don't even know your name
But still I believe
That you are gonna save me
Somehow I got a notion
Just a little affection
On this cold and windy road
Save me from a state of unemotion
Just a little affection
On this windy road
Why is it all so confusing
Why does growing up hurt so bad
We seek and we get lost
We get found and go again
And I don't know what is gonna be
I won't make any promise but I believe
Never seen you
I don't even know your name
But still I believe
That you are gonna...
I don't know if I can
I don't know if I should
I don't know what is right
And what's to come if you would
Here I stand in the rain
Here I stand in the cold
I'm reluctant to get
Another shot in my soul
I'm afraid of that hole
Catch Of The Century
You do not know and you don't care
And you may never learn
I made approaches you gave me teeth
And got my hope inurned
Unprepossessing that's what you say
Don't get the essential point
What it came down to was - you ain't got nothing
Here's to the wicked and here's to the odd
You got your chance going down the drain
You're dumping the catch of the century
You've had your chance
But you're much too vain to take it
The catch of the century
Nobody's waiting cause all the world
Seems like it's already spoken for
A host of rivals
I'm out of vogue and I'll be forevermore
You strut around - sneer from on high
I'm on the road again - I'm going down with flying colors
Before I go down on somebody else
You got your chance going down the drain
You're dumping the catch of the century
And lady luck's got her ass in pain
You're wasting the catch of the century
Out of Vogue
Jeer at him moving in slow-mo
Surrounded by a spirit-entourage
So odd - inviting sneer
You ride the spinning wheel that's getting faster
Outside they saw the passing centuries
Round and round - merry go round
Round and round you go
Scream and shout - laugh aloud
It's so out of vogue
To lead a way outside the catalogue
You're en vogue and don't understand
It's so out of vogue to contradict
Your transient mistress of the world
How does it feel in your cage
Trapped in vogue
So you don't miss a thing in your carrousel
You feel so proud behind the steering wheel
The mind you sold waves at you from outside
And you feel happy as you kneel
Lady dark crack the whip - 300 pounds of lust
One shall get what you need
It's so out of vogue
How do you do inside the catalogue
You're en vogue and don't miss a thing...
Superheroes
City lights are calling - slowly coming back to life
Speeding in the fast lane - mama let us waste no time
Devil in the doorway - selling any kind of hell
We're just coming out to play the game
And we never cry for love
We're superheroes
We are back where we belong
We never cry for pain
We're superheroes
Make a stand where we belong
Way too long I've tried to be what I could never be
For too long you've rolled the dice
But you can't control me
I ain't talking about romance
You may fiddle I may dance
Anyway it's just a game we play
You gotta move to stay alive
We're gonna rock the bash tonight
And we never cry for love...
Trinidad
[Unfunny - chapter 42953]
"Hello girls!"
"Hello Tobi you hot little machine!!!"
I'm a sight for sore eyes
Oh if your eyes would only see
I've been born on tiptoe
Still you looked
Like a lighthouse next to me
You pet named me Napoleon
I was proud
Til I got the reason why
Never aimed for confrontation
You've been sleeping
When I kissed your ass goodbye
Oh while you read this letter
I'd just gone to eat out
by the way
My what a sunshine in Trinidad
Hope you're ok light years away
My what a heat wave in Trinidad
Hope you don't mind if I stay
Pitcher goes too often to the well
And now the pitcher's gone insane
Ratatatataaa - gotta run away
Boiling over - getting hell
And found the answer on a plane
Oh I've been pissing off
Before you might
Could have pissed me off
I hope you're fine
My what a sunshine in Trinidad
Mind if you stay? I do okay!
My what a heat wave in Trinidad
Sunburnt a nightflight away
Fucking With Fire
[Hair Force One]
I saw her coming in high-heels
Moving like a queen
A little sweet angel but deep underneath
A mean machine
You're lying in wait to make me a fool
You want me to bite
I'm gonna take the bait
Ant the hunter for afters
I'll take you for a ride
I don't wanna play no games
Cause I'm a bad bad boy all around
Let me be your Titanic
Before you know what's going on
I may go down
Fucking with fire - I'm coming to rock
Got my rocket on fire
And I take what I want
Fucking with fire - loaded and cocked
You never miss it til you've begun
with the hair force one
Don't make no mistakes
Don't you miss out
On the hell of a time
I'm real go-getter
And there's no doubt
That down the line
I know what you want
and I know what you need
Your secret desire
Got the gloves of a man
The hands of a beast
And my pants on fire
And I don't wanna play no games
Cause I'm a nasty bad boy
All around around
Let me be your Titanic
Before you know what's going on
I'm going down...
