Les paroles


1. CRIME WAVE

When Poland was on fire
nations were taking sides
the community was shattered
culture difference divides

Through the darkest night
Shone the brightest light

In radioactive ruins
life forms tried to hide
the old world had run out
of humanity and pride

It was no land for the weakest man

A crimewave washed through the land
you saw it fall from your hand

You were soon adapted
always in command
persuading with force
to get what you demand

The toughest man could rule the land

A crimewave washed through the land
you saw it fall from yout hand
The crimewave turned art to sand
all you could see was your land

Though you had the power
life had lost it´s joy
without style and beauty
pain became your new toy
nothing really changes
no one ever changes
nothing´s really pointless
no one´s ever pointless

A crimewave washed through the land
you saw it fall from your hand
The crimewave turned art to sand
all you could see was your land


2. FROM SQUARE TO CIRCLE

Times comes pouring like rain
sometimes like a lava flow
your determination will grow
the taste of power is in your vein
you said there is no reason
but you couldn´t control your breath
you´ll trade if for your death
or commit any crime or treason

On the top of the world

You dropped an egg from your window today
just to feel the height
you watched it fall like mesmerized
before it went out of sight
why would you lie
you couldn´t deny
you were exited by the fall
but it´s far from the street , you won´t meet
anyone who´s affected at all

On top of the world
with tears in your eyes
if you´re afraid to fall
you´d better learn how to fly

On top of the world
with tears in your eyes
on top of it all
do you know how to fly
you will never die

Stretching your mouth to tear
down the walls
hear the sound of falling walls
stretching the truth , catching your shadow
to the sound of falling walls
putting your flag on every mountain
so much larger than life

Power is working
you´re working with power
so you´re much larger than life

On top of the world
with tears in your eyes
if you´re afraid to fall
you´d better learn how to fly

On top of the world
with tears in your eyes
on top of it all
do you know how to fly
you will never die

We all came down to Israel
to find ourselves some peace and sun
the soil is rich in Israel
a place to heal after too much fun

When the world exploded around us
we made a circle
holding hands
giving up our original nations
making even greater plans


3. ILLUSIVE EXHIBITION

Just an ordinary cat
with an ordinary life
and a sense of importance
exhibitions and commercials
and powder cream

Just an ordinary brat
with extremely dirty hands
and a very dirty mind
he seduced her with a fish and with very gently hands

She was in for a surprise
the brat by her side was really a mouse
she had to escape
cause rats keep looking for cats to rape

On a sunny afternoon in the ordinary world
she was finding out how life could be
On a sunny afternoon in the ordinary world
she found out it is very scary to be free
In the ordinary world on a sunny afternoon
he was chasing a dream
In the ordinary world on a sunny afternoon
no one is just who they seem

And now to something quiet different
when you forget to pay the rent
you find yourself on the street all alone
and none of your friends are at home
you feel like you´re twelve inches tall
you bang your head to the wall
everyone tells you´re wrong
and now we get back to the song.......

Just an ordinary day , the sun was shining bright
and dogs were barking loud
she was catched by a mouse
and kicked by a girl

She was in for a surprise
the brat by her side was really a mouse
she had to escape
cause rats keep looking for cats to rape

On a sunny afternoon in the ordinary world
she was finding out how life could be
On a sunny afternoon in the ordinary world
she found out it is very scary to be free
In the ordinary world on a sunny afternoon
he was chasing a dream
In the ordinary world on a sunny afternoon
no one is just who they seem


4. FALL OF SPRING

Early spring
he came across the mountains
running from his past to liberty
this world , his hands
and nothing there to stop him
who cares for human property

I keep my claim

He made his home
in the valley by the river
sheltered from storm and the silent rain
without fear
the deadliest beast in the forest
the master of fire were to keep his claim

I keep my claim
Keep my claim

Strength by time
people followed his footsteps
with them buildings it´s an urban war
buildings became cities
it´s a natural expansion
and we don´t need to hide
in forests anymore

No one can own this land
the forests and mountains demand
the forces of nature runs free
when we were totally disrupted
we couldn´t see . .

No one . .

No one can heal this land
no one . . .


5. KING OF ARAGON

Morning , the pale light embraced his face
His thoughts slowly returned from
a dreams confusing maze
He saw himself holding a scale
it was trembling in his hand
at one end was his kingdom , at the other a lonley man
Confused , betrayed by friends
Pleading justice , must break or bend

Some priests had formed a vicious plan
to convert all the Jews
a rabbi were to defending faith
persecution needs excuse

He met a man with integrity , different from anyone
he knew
It seemed so absurd to punish him for the crime
of being a Jew
they talked until the daybreak so much seemed to
make sense
How could religion be a capital offence
He gave him the right to defend his faith
But he couldn´t sense that he was safe

The priests wasn´t interested in truth that you could measure
they gave their orders to the king and kept him
under pressure

The queen of Aragon , once so young and full of life
now she´s turning colder for every day that she´s been his wife
Her new lovers name is power and her passion
is to manipulate
She tries to keep her sanity by holding on to her faith
So hard to keep the faith , that makes her full of hate

Delia blessed by gods , nursed by angels
makes him feel like rocking on a cloud
she could ease all his troubles , cool him down
when he´s drunk and loud
She´s the only one who really loves the king
Looking beyond the weight of his crown
undisturbed by reality , she´s singing like a child
and he´s falling asleep to the sound

In the morning of the disputation
a hurricane was breaking the shoreline
the bishop and the queen was conspiring
When discussion began Abraham was speaking
with passion and precision
The appointed priest was retiring

Afterwards you could hear the silence
they were waiting for an act of violence
To save Abrahams life , the king had to be clever
he sentenced him to leave Aragon forever

Sons of Adam , why do you keep fighting
the ghettos in Poland , why do you keep fighting
Auschwitz , Sobibor , why do you keep fighting
Children of Israel keep fighting
keep fighting


6. LONG LONELY SHADOWS

At the edge of water
Before it turns to sky
I´ve been waiting for your lifeblood
to pour from your eye

There´s a cross in my garden
A migration from a weary dream
I can crucify myself
but it won´t help me scream

You´re talking in my dreams
an angel voice so lean
you stir my bed of sleep
I guess I´m into deep

Driving home through a snowstorm
It´s the second week of may
trying to catch a feeling
but can´t make you stay

I need to rest in your shadow
to pour your spirit into my chalk
and I´ll drink to your safe arrival
abd a very short walk

You´re talking in my dreams
an angel voice so lean
you stir my bed of sleep
I guess I´m into deep

Talk , I don´t know where to begin
Don´t leave me alone
The web of life keeps me within
why did you leave me alone

You´re talking in my dreams
an angel voice so lean
you stir my bed of sleep
I guess I´m into deep


7. ETERNAL SHADOWS

There´s a picture , on the skyline
There´s a whisper in the wind
Northern landscape , giant forests
Can´t you tell me where to begin

You´re still dancing in the shadows
I keep watching from the ground
Distant gestures from your journey
Makes me wonder what I stayed behind

And if this world would be heaven
You´ll be here tonight
When your journey is over it´s all over
Let me help you fight , that´s right

Distant echoes sounds of laughter
Metropolis burns again
Misunderstanding in a glance
Hasted words bring tears and , rain

And if this world would be heaven
You´ll be here tonight
When your journey is over it´s all over
Let me help you fight , that´s right

Early morning late October
Frozen shadows from last night
Northern landscape giant forests
Please do help me to do it right
Do it right
