New Tomorrow 06:42
In these city caves where we build our lives Entangled in concrete jungle Many questions arise We do not dare to face Are we living in a haze Of a new tomorrow. Will you be there with me at the edge of time and space. Are we already one? Observing the worlds from the flow, observing the world while I glow. Glow with hope, glow with care. Care for each other. How can I cope with that world, someday realizing it isn't there. It won't be there anymore. This is the world, lost as it is. This is the world, sealed with a delusive kiss. A kiss of life is all we need to put the earth back on its feet. And save it from out sloth and greed. My values seem relies, excluded by walls. Walls of power, calls in vain. Wasted hours driving me insade. This is the world lost as it is. This is the world sealed with a kiss. May strong winds blow through these hollow lands. Winds of change eventually will make us understand. Let the rain wash away the old pains and sorrow. Help us in shaping a new tomorrow. A new tomorrow A new tomorrow

Blood Money 03:44
Don't you see there's a curse on bloody money? Don't you realize what troubles are caused by it? Don't you realize how you are taking part in it Spoiling life destroying nature, your lost soul in a wasted world Money's always short, making life bored. All in the interest of companies. Business destroying people. Economy ruling over the world. Blood money, Blood money, manipulating our wives Look at our children raised in doubt It makes them scream and shout Blood money, taking my time. Blood money, it ain't worth a dime. Blood money, it just provides crime. Pretty soon I cut my hair and walk in line just for the lousy dime. This song is for free You can't take it from me Sing along and let's make this strong Raise your voice, raise your arms Let's empty all pockets, use all of our charms. Buckets full of bugs, see how that sucks There's no doubt, it's making you scream and shout It makes no moral sense It sure ain't making friends So many people lost their sense There's no fun at the wrong side of the fence Blood money, sucking nature dry Blood money, nowhere left to cry Blood money, don't you wonder why All good things turn to waste all in a haste Blood money, getting under the skin Blood money, where do we begin Blood money, to get rid of this monopoly game That turns us into losers That turns us into slaves The sun, it rises just for free All you blind people why can't you see? All beautiful things in life are free Just as it's meant to be Blood money, what's the sense of it all? Blood money, causing the human fall Blood money, better hear this call You see I think we're better off without it Blood money, can't you stay away? Blood money, your absence would feel okay. Blood money, forever leave this world. And take all those greedy bastards with you.

Benediction 03:38
Now cursed be thee that would ruin our fair land And cursed be thee that would seal up the wells And cursed be thee that abandoned the God's hand And build a strange place for our people to dwell Now cursed be thy breath and cursed be thy breathing And cursed be thine eyes and cursed by thy sight And cursed by thy hands that have blackened the harvest And closed the old ways to the joy and the light Now cursed be thy name all cursed and forgotten All cursed beyond memory, place or recall And cursed be thy soul, out of nothing begotten Nothing to no thing and nothing to all Now cursed art thee that have ruined our fair land And cursed art thee that sealed up our wells And cursed art thee that abandoned the God's hand And have built a strange place for the children to dwell

Hold on to your soul, it's the only thing I know. It's my guidance in the end. It's the part that can really understand. In the end my only true friend upon whom I can depend. Seeing through the greatest deception. It can urge me to take action. Hold on to your soul, it's everything I know in this world of divesion. In the clutch of a fake utopia. Casting my life in my own hands. Hold on to your soul, that's the only thing to know in this life for sure. It gives guidance in the end. Your only true friend in the end. The fire in my soul is getting out of control. Seeing my world as a whole. Cause every living soul is connected as a whole. Hold on to your soul, it's the only guidance I know. In this life for sure. That's your soul, our soul. The soul of all that lives, the only soul that gives guidance. Until the end, until the end, until the end. That's for what it's worth. Let's what's worth come forth. Fight for what you stand for. Divided we stand grasping at straws. Together we'll fall, don't hesitate to rise. On your own, all alone. Going on above new horizons ascending, towards new ideals. Let's fly on to the other side of the world, to the other side of life, looking at it. See the world being conscious about it. Loving the world, and loving this life. Being aware of being there. Looking at the stars, shining in the night. Look at yourself, shining bright. You are a star, shining light. Do all you can to shine in this night. You are a star, shining light, over seas, into the night. You are a star in the sky, shining light, shining bright.

Open your eyes and show yourself to the world. As this world is in need of you, sweet angel. Open your heart and live and give your meaning to the world. And let this earth carry you, let this love guide you. Turn on your loving light for the ones surrounding you. And let this light shine, shine, all over this earth. Open yourself up to the world. And be open minded, and be open hearted. While your mind once was lost. And your heart seemed locked. Remember the fire inside of your heart. Join this world, share your part. Free your consciousness into space, and your true intentions leave their trace. While joining this crazy human race.

In this world I don't see no empathy, no tenderness, just wilderness. One big fence of decadence. I will fight to see the light. Here I go, now I know. Friend of mine, our souls entwined, we're entwined. Here I try not to die. Drag my load, feel my hope, trust my guide, see the light. Be aware of being there. Seeing you is seeing me. Healing you is healing me. Feeling true is feeling free. In need of feeling to be guided and supported 'till infinity. So I can love this world all of its beings unconditionally. And fight this deceiving downward spiral, this mask of negativity. What's logic when our magic's turning tragic. And we all lost the way. You got to let it happen. You don't know what you're saying. When you give up all you once believed in. 'Cause the world's in need of pretty angels like you, like you. Won't you please help me release my doubt, my fears, my load, all of these tears. What's the reason for this ceaseless unjust trial causing life's denial. Once we all stood alongside to withstand unrighteous laws. You got to let it happen. You don't know what you're saying. When you give up all you once believed in. 'Cause the world's in need of pretty angels like you, like you. Here I try not to die. Drag my load, feel my hope. Trust my guide, see the light. Be aware of being there seeing you. You don't know what you're seeing. You've been blind to all you've been denying. Deceiving yourself from all that was confronting. Still your soul's in everything I'm seeing. Come here I love you, let me touch you, Let me help you seeing it all through. Together we will share our world, all our hopes, all of our wishes, they will come through. And in trust we will be growing as happiness is surrounding us. If we could receive peace in the world, and give each other strength to embrace it. That's what I want, put my trust in this world. Let it grow in this world, in this world.
