Holy Bell

Sunday eve at the station
A smell so sweet is in the air
One of the homeless people
Has left a stream across the stairs
There is a rotten person
Scanning the place with bloodshot eyes
Eager to get his soma. Sells
His HIV life for half price
Do you remember the feeling
To lie on the bathroom floor at night?
And you're totally wasted
The cold of the tiles feels so right
Something is tearing you down!
Something is tearing you down!
Something is tearing you down!
Something, something tears you down!
Welcome to life...
Yai she comes from Chiang Mai
She roams the Bangkok streets as night
s**s every dick for five bucks
Sold her virginity for ten...
Fire! Lights up the Man on the cross
Desire! Controls the rich and the lost
No tears for mankind, we're the ultimate ones
God and us side by side
We're on top of the world
Brainwashed thoughts, spoken words
Blow up the fuses in me
Holy Bell, I will never hear the sound of your chimes
Holy Spell, fade away, fade away
Holy Bell, your terrific sound is way out of tune
Holy Bell, fade away, fade away, fade away, fade away
Turn on the evening news
Watch how the game is turning out
Fall for manipulation
Spirit of charity is sold out
Fire! Lights up the Man on the cross
Desire! Controls the rich and the lost
No tears for mankind, we're the ultimate ones
God and us side by side
We're on top of the world
Brainwashed thoughts, spoken words
Blow up the fuses in me
Holy Bell, I will never hear the sound of your chimes
Holy Spell, fade away, fade away
Holy Bell, your terrific sound is way out of tune
Holy Bell, just an evil laughter stays
Thai girl speaking (Translator):
We were playing. The shell landed in the street. We started to run to the houses. My friend died immediately. Shrapnel cut his head off.
News reporter:
In Columbia, d**h and political violence forces friends into foes. Police say suspected leftist criminals bust into a political gathering Saturday and opened fire on its participants. At least 20 people k**ed.
No tears for mankind, we're the ultimate ones
God and us side by side
We're on top of the world
Brainwashed thoughts, spoken words
Blow up the fuses in me
Holy Bell, I will never hear the sound of your chimes
Holy Spell, fade away, fade away
Holy Bell, your terrific sound is way out of tune
Holy Spell, just an evil laughter stays
Holy Bell, I will never hear the sound of your chimes
Holy Spell, fade away, fade away
Holy Bell, holy spell, fade away, fade away

Among The Elements

These days, when the darkness is falling,
No hand to be seized and no end to be seen
Hazes of distrust and bad desperation
The black robe will suit you and cover your mind
See and Feel -
See the whole world, not the dream
See and Feel -
See your life flow in the stream
No trace of illusion, no flashes of light
The keyhole in your heart is locked in the dark
Healthy in mind and somehow insane,
A sad-eyed believer who struggles in vain
See and Feel -
See the whole world, not the dream
See and Feel -
See your life flow in the stream
Rising over waves and sun
Northern winds may blow great guns
Love and reason to preserve
Don't ever touch silence, don't ever touch flame
Perception of truth whenever they're shaking your frame
Change your condition from water to fog
Coloured like ashes whirled up by a breeze
Alter your state, resuming the questions
Don't stop as you stumble towards tears and sky
See and Feel -
See the whole world, not the dream
See and Feel -
See your life flow in the stream
Rising over waves and sun
Northern winds may blow great guns
Love and reason to preserve
Don't ever touch silence, don't ever touch flame
Perception of truth whenever they're shaking your frame
These nights, when a new sun is rising
Carried by strength a sight for sore eyes
Red-letter days, corona of power
Embellish your dresses with laces of gold
No traces of shadows, your footsteps are sparkling
The key to your heart was so easy to find
Healthy in mind but somehow insane,
A fortunate coward who tries to ignore
See and Feel -
See the whole world, not the dream
See and Feel -
See your life flow in the stream
Rising over waves and sun
Northern winds may blow great guns
Love and reason to preserve
Don't ever touch silence, don't ever touch flame
Perception of truth makes a stand
Rising over waves and sun
Northern winds may blow great guns
Love and reason to preserve
Don't ever touch silence, don't ever touch flame
Perception of truth is whenever they're shaking your frame
Rising over waves and sun …
Rising over waves and sun
Northern winds may blow great guns
Love and reason to preserve
Don't ever touch silence, don't ever touch flame
Rising over waves and sun
Northern winds may blow great guns
Love and reason to preserve
Don't ever touch silence, don't ever touch flame

Angels

Here we are alone together,
Underneath a mirage of blurring pictures passing by
There's an illusion in the sky
Look at the sparkle in the night
If you know what it's like to be addicted to the moon,
You'd grab a star, my love, attracted by this tune
Why can't you say you love me, 'til the end of time?
Why can't you say you need me, oh?
Angel, you fade away, how I beg you to stay
Angel, don't you feel the same, oh?
Girl, you've shot and arrow through my heart
I have known from the start to be a dolphin in the sea
To be awake while I sleep
Heaven comes down to meet the earth,
Worlds collide, so I start to ask myself
Is there a chance for us or does it have to end?
Why can't you say you love me, 'til the end of time?
Why can't you say you need me, oh?
Angels are falling from the stars
Dream along with me my honey, hold tighter to you star
Angels are falling from the stars
Dreams can be the only rescue, dream with me
And feel my pounding heart
Loving you can drive me crazy,
Though I've tried to break up I sense my will cannot withstand
I'm like wax inside your head
True emotions need a path,
What I need is a sign to tell me what I'm supposed to do
My love is floating in this endless tune
Why can't you say you love me, 'til the end of time?
Why can't you say you need me, oh?
Angels are falling from the stars
Dream along with me my honey, hold tighter to you star
Angels are falling from the stars
Dreams can be the only rescue, dream with me
And feel my pounding
Angels are falling from the stars
Look at my angel is falling from the stars
Angels are falling from the stars
Dreams can be the only rescue, dream with me
And feel my pounding
Angel

Life

Life, I seem to fall into a trance when I look in the mirror
Why do we have to tell us lies when we can't find solutions?
Crime, a way of gaining some success. It's a natural habit
Pain, the tension grows inside my heart, tries to tear it apart
Release my inner strength, my feelings drive me to despair
I find myself estranged, realizing there's a crack in the mirror
Ohohoh, ohohoh, that's life
Ain't gonna tell you lies
Ohohoh, ohohoh, that's life
Makes you wanna cry
Dream of recreation, think about the meaning of time
Ohohoh, ohohoh, that's life
Hey the tide is rising rapidly, fills my prison with water
Look nature's scale is out of work, I guess its gotta be Sunday
Numb the routine has struck again, hypnotizes me daily
Scream, the echo roars around the world. Press some air in your lungs
Release my inner strength, my feelings drive me to despair
I find myself estranged, realizing there's a crack in the mirror
Ohohoh, ohohoh, that's life
Ain't gonna tell you lies
Ohohoh, ohohoh, that's life
Makes you wanna cry
Dream of recreation, think about the meaning of time
Woah, Ohohoh, ohohoh, that's life
Release my inner strength, my feelings drive me to despair
I find myself estranged, realizing there's a crack in the mirror
Ohohoh, ohohoh, that's life
Ain't gonna tell you lies
Ohohoh, ohohoh, that's life
Makes you wanna cry
Dream of recreation, think about the meaning of time
Woah, Ohohoh, ohohoh, that's life, that's life, that's life, that's life, that's life, that's life, that's... Damn i forgot it, haha

I Need An Answer
06:07
|

Sitting in an hour glass, losing ground the more I think of you
My picture of the world's distorted, try to see it from my point of view
Don't you know that road can be rocky sometimes?
Uh, it's a painful journey leading to the light
And I need an answer, wanna have you back in my arms again
My heart is burning, aching just for you
I need an answer, clear you mind, it's time to choose
There's one more thing I've got to say to you
"The sand keeps on running..."
Memories can be depressing, every time you look at them you lose
So I am drowning even further, gotta find a way out of the blue
All I want is some place for my own life. I neither meant to hurt you nor to say goodbye.
And I need an answer, Will you break the gla**? Come and set me free
My heart is burning, aching just for you
I need an answer, clear you mind, it's time to choose
There's one more thing I've got to say to you
"The sand keeps on running.."
I need an answer, wanna have you back in my arms again
Living without you would delete my heart
I need an answer, clear you mind, it's time to choose
There's one more thing I've got to say to you
"Time is running..."
I need an answer, wanna have you back in my arms again
Living without you would delete my heart
Would delete my heart
I need an answer, clear you mind, it's time to choose
Still one more thing I've got to say to you
Try a little understanding, take your time, but please don't let me down

Visions End

Woah yeah!
Sit down, enjoy your self. Have a pleasant drink or two
It's so easy to drown, to let it all come down
Drawn nails from barricades which protect your world of dreams
What you need is a tool, a gadget for a fool
Pictures of destiny spinning around your head
You used to erase them with gin on the rocks, my friend
I bet you feel like a whore,
Yeah, you feel like a whore
In times of clearance sales, no matter what is sold
It's no use crying, you lost your chances long ago
The path you follow is not the same as it was before
Led you over the hill to the suburban idyll
Pictures of destiny spinning around your head
You used to erase them with gin on the rocks, my friend
Where are your dreams you dreamt with your friend's in the streets?
"...wanna be an artist, an actor, imagine how this would have been. Vision's end"
"...wanna be a great film director, my name on the billboards in gold"
Your former ideals shown in the slide show drive you mad
Crawling under your chair it even gets you there
There's no escape from it all, alea jacta est
What you've got is a job at your polished oaken desk
Pictures of destiny spinning around your head
You used to erase them with gin on the rocks, my friend
Where are your dreams you dreamt with your friend's in the streets?
"...wanna be an artist, an actor, imagine how this would have been. Vision's end"
"...wanna be a great film director, my name on the billboards in gold"

I Can't Follow
05:09
|
|||
Feelings confusing and wild, inflections of my voice
Seem to to find the one who betrays, who implants the spores in my veins
Demons, the servants of hate come to fumigate my soul
All i know is hatred will grow if you never ever dance with la vérité
Time won't melt the ice, don't seal your eyes with a smile
Hunting for a chance for me, reveal your face, so I can see
Games in disguise
I can't follow, follow
Girl, roll the dice
I can't follow, follow
Alone!
I should have read the rules, cheating was allowed
Too bad my conscience is clean
It's time to stop the show. Forgive me if I scream
But your explanations are pale
Stop being insulted, stop leaking perfume
Stop this everlasting soap opera
I know what I want, I know time has come
I ain't a bargain in a grocery store
Don't you shed a tear for me
Reveal your face so I can see
Games in disguise
I can't follow, follow
Girl, roll the dice
I can't follow, follow
Alone!
Games in disguise
I can't follow, follow
Girl, roll the dice
I can't follow, follow
Games in disguise
I can't follow, follow
Girl, roll the dice
Your bag is full of lies has shattered my faith, it has shattered my faith
Don't you shed a tear for me
Don't you shed a tear for me
Reveal you face so I can see
I can't follow this game
Hatred grows inside of me
Turns me inside out

Avalon
04:21

You win and you lose, you're playing a part in this game
The dices they used to move you are never the same
Was it an incendantal curse that knocked you out?
So you believe there's rain without a single cloud?
A four letter word has brought you sorrow and pain
She said she would leave me tomorrow, her feelings are gone
Looks like you're gonna have to take the odds to win
But you must find the answer buried deep within
There's a place I believe they call it Avalon
And heaven can wait, there's a better place to stay
There's a place I believe they call it Avalon
And heaven can wait, I will find a place called Avalon
The energy flow is starting, the tides going out
In moments of misery, you're starting to drown
Looks like you're gonna have to take the odds to win,
But you must find the answer buried deep within
There's a place I believe they call it Avalon
And heaven can wait, there's a better place to stay
There's a place I believe they call it Avalon
And heaven can wait, I will find a place called Avalon
Yeah, Heaven can wait
Ooh, theres a place they call it Avalon
Heaven can wait
Ooh, theres a place they call it Avalon
