the fall of the great
03:37

We see them sit in sacred places
And hear them twist the word of God
To make it serve their own purposes
and lead the nations into war
It’s time to stand up and shout
It’s time to lift the voice
It’s time to open the eyes
The fall of the great is at hand
Their time has come to face the end
The time of corruption, of stealing and murder
Of violence raping the earth will find its end
In the fall of the great
They’re occupying high departements
To represent the nations will
But they’re corrupted by the honour
And use their force to keep us still
It’s time to stand up and fight
It’s time to break the rules
It’s time to gather our power

I crossed the sea of tears and reached unholy ground
Expected peace but only pain is all around
I see the souls of those who gave up in the fight
Sitting in the ashes of their dreams lost in the night
Silouhettes are standing against a fire burning sky
Motionless and silent as the angels fly away
Willing not to wake up those who dream of ancient times
When our words were love and our dreams had wings to fly
Is it too late? Is all in vain?
In the desert of lost dreams I search my way
like a stranger far from home – all alone
In the desert of lost dreams I fight and pray
that this night will fade away ...
Tears of pain drop to the ground and make the river grow
To wash our thoughts away until we can't see anymore
The light at the horizon is the love that never ends
The only hope for mankind is to take his waiting hands
But shadows of the past are trying to hold us in place
To blind our hearts, consume our strenght until we give up in the race
Chances may have passed away and innocence has gone
But if you dare to face the life your healing has begun
It’s not too late! It’s not in vain!

not in the mood
03:23
|

Day by day the sky grows darker, day by day the chaos grows
Day by day the heinous slaughter continues and no one knows
if this madness can be stopped and how it's to be done
The only thing for sure is that at last I am the one
(But) I am not in the mood to take responsibility
not in the mood to help the weak
I’m not in the mood to stop the terror
not in the mood at all to keep this world alive ...
Day by day the hunger tortures, day by day indifference grows
Man is caught in lies and offers all his honour to avoid
that the light of truth may wash his darkest sins away
For god gives the power to turn darkness into day
We really have to stand up for this world is about to die
But no one cares for anything so we don’t hear her cry ...

the city
02:55

Behold the city, she is deserted
Her streets are empty and cold
The hordes who bled her have left her dying
They took her beauty and wealth
This city’s found within us all if we seek
we will find a desolated and wasted land
If we seek there is a child running through the streets
with no home and no hope for a place to sleep
Behold the city, she is deserted
Her streets are empty and cold
Behold the kingdom of light
Behold the river of life
Behold the streets full of dance and joy
Let thy kingdom come!
Behold the city, her heart is broken
she cries for mercy and help
I hear her moaning in desparation
They took her laughter away
Where is the multitude that filled her with joy?
Can you see where all the days of her wellfare went?
Can you see? Her martered body is about to decay
but her spirit will find a new place to stay
Behold the city, her heart is broken
she cries for mercy and help

the shadow of fear
04:00

Did you ever ask why disease controls the earth
Why the hunger strikes her children
and the new born dies in dirt?
Did you ever know that our wealth does take its price
and the money spent for wellness means the pain in childrens eyes?
Just take the pain and run away to meet the one who cares
Cry and ask for he will hear and help the child who dares
The shadow of fear draws me near
It kills my pride in the night
A silent hope for the day
For the pain to drift away
Did you ever ask why the wicked play their games
Without punishment and justice
and the world is in their hands?
Did you ever know that His sun does shine for all
And there’s still the possibility to answer to His call?
Just take the pain and run away to meet the one who cares
Cry and ask for He will hear and help the child who dares

enter in the pain
05:29

The world is dying
Mankind is crying
Time nears the end
The earth is scared
The fire of hell is burning
The light of day is turning into darkness
And the smell of blood is bitter on my tongue
Enter the gates of infinity in pain
Enter the dream of the night
Behold the souls of many weeping for their sons
Lost in an intoxicated world
Enter in the pain
Where can I run to hide?
How can I reach the light?
How did we come so far?
Why can’t we see?
The god of all is crying
Waiting for the dying
Willing to embrace
And tears of blood are running down his face
