FALSE LIGHT
The speed of sound ain't enough tonight
When even the moon's pale glow is too bright
You should know how much damage comets cause
Posing for a photoshoot
Tell me do you feel uncomfortable?
It's ok, all for looking right and feeling wrong
It's ok, it's ok, it's ok, it's ok
Is this the place you meant to go?
You can't afford to let it show
Is fear what you ambition's become?
You began to live the lie they wrote
Swung along every time wind rocked the boat
Can you still remember how clean the air is down here
Down here, down here, down here
Don't really have the time
To remember what went right
To remember what went wrong
Or missing, forever gone
Is rec on? Is rec on?
For silence you beckon
Is rec on? Is rec on?
You'll forget what was said
Your skin may sparkle in false light
When your days fade into the night
But it's too dark to see 'em go
You see the price is high for immortality
It'll cost your life, how's that for a fee?
Please don't ask us to understand
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Don't really have the time
To remember what went right
To remember what went wrong
Or missing, forever gone
Is rec on? Is rec on?
For silence you beckon
Is rec on? Is rec on?
You'll forget what was said
REPEATER
It's coming inside me, under the bed I'm crawling
Beside me, push it away, I'm falling
They all lied to me, I've had enough, I'm going
Gonna leave it all behind
Don't wanna hear a thing
'Cause there ain't such a thing
That makes me wanna try
Wasting all my time while they wanna fly
In the middle of all they didn't recognize the fact
What it's all about and how they gotta react
Stick my neck out
A repeater like me
Is never gonna give in
Time to let go
But a repeater like me
Is never giving an inch
Recharging myself for the warzone
Preparing my one-man-army, I am all alone
Don't wanna crack a bone
Don't wanna stay unknown
I wanna stand on my feet
When they are all blown away
Still got a word to say
But do they really remember that they gotta pay
Do I see the end when I'm standing at the beginning?
Surrounded by my enemies, so the question goes:
Who's winning?
Stick my neck out
A repeater like me
Is never gonna give in
Time to let go
But a repeater like me
Is never giving an inch
SATISFRICTION
Good evening ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to tell you a story
A story that you all probably heard before
Well anyway, please listen, here we go
This is a story with emotion, this is a story about emotion
Having met her, I knew that what she was selling I had just bought
But little did I know about what was in store for me
Never gonna get, never get, never
And the balance is shifting swiftly past the trickle you were not meant to see
And like always before
I get no comment at all
At that particular time I felt safe, oh yes indeed
Perhaps it was too safe
I took this safety for granted
I thought she was mine for free
All that beauty, everything that I've seen
All that you lack, baby, is what I think I need
We were stuck in the middle of a sentence
A sentence we could not finish...even if we wanted
Shhh...
Never gonna get, never get, never
And the balance is shifting swiftly past the trickle you were not meant to see
And like always before
I get no comment at all
THE CARTOGRAPHER
Gotta show them, gotta give 'em what they want
Gotta give 'em hell
Gonna give 'em what they really, really want
Send the devil to hell
Get this down (down, down, down) I say
When all is lost remember me
I told to protect, I told to reject
But no-one mattered to thee, you got dressed
Dressed to kill, you kill at your will
But I still believe in what's right
What is right? What's good and correct?
Who's alive and who should be dead?
Give liberty
Outburst in fear
Sixhundred-sixty-six ways of losing your freedom
Stand your ground, watch your step
Who gives a shit about small victories
Or the greatness of strength when you're on your knees
Give liberty
Outburst in fear
Kill together
Fight together
Die together
WORD FOR WORD
What nobody can see, nobody's to blame and it's all mine
try to move beyond words, time makes it difficult, short time
I hope you're stronger and when we meet it'll rub on me
So when the next time comes and I hope it will, I won't embarass you
Word for word
Transmissions on two frequencies, escape both just to stay safe
Sign me up, send me off, a choice made for me but now it's too late
I know you'll still catch me even beyond recognition to myself
One thing I've learned freedom's far too corny a word for me to enjoy
Word for word
CONTROL
This open-minded attitude has taken the control of our lives
Turn on your TV and notice the phenomenon worldwide
All around the world happy people are smiling
Ripping off their heads, executing and lying
Control - wake up your enemy
Control - this is our remedy
Control - what is in your mind
Control - that is in my mind
Keep on talking about peace
Keep on dreaming about the brave new world
Stand in line of those who really know how all really works
Close your eyes all together and show the peace-sign
Forget the rest and believe that you're gonna be the last in line
Control - wake up your enemy
Control - this is our remedy
Control - what is in your mind
Control - that is in my mind
DARKER
One step
Is all it takes
And the ice breaks
Water below
Cold as my toes
Secret unfolds
Molten snows floods the sewers, streetlights are lit
Looking down over me, how good does it fit
Now everything is arranged, supposedly unchanged
How good it would feel to say a word
And still they're left, left all unheard
A better place where knowledge lacks
Broken belief on broken backs
There's something greater
There's something darker
It's in the air we breathe
(TONIGHT)
Frozen asphalt
Frozen leaves
Of winter come too fast
Wrong time
Every time
The crushing traces of lost time
In between songs of beauty, silence so intense
Hear it come once again, the waiting ends
The wait, the weight, a guilty taste
No more strength left in the paralysed helping hand
At last I feel my blood as strong as a bastard can
In a deadly routine under pitch-black skies
Something good is bound to happen - soon
There's something greater
There's something darker
It's in the air we breathe
(TONIGHT)
