But the brothers are stunned And the brothers don't care Stay, stay, stay, stay alive More than you lie More than you sigh Stay, stay, stay, stay wild Beyond the cold We're dancing bold I can't promise you anything, but you @SONG: Jericha No tale to tell from ancient times It was only yesterday that I was out for rhymes Loitering down the streets without destination kicking away the heavy weights with a smile on my feet No direction, no affection - dazzled by the mighty blow Hit by the weird and beautiful choir That knew their song so well and they sang: "We laugh about your way, cripple! We feel your pain! " Going crazy, running blind Trying hate, tears behind It took me away I took myself away And the moon, of course the moon There's life to tell from present days The choir went away for the smile was on my face Suddenly my home was reach Seven times I marched inside her And her walls began to fall Eternity won't satisfy Future has been great Our life's a flash In the universal rain You stopped my heart from loosing blood You kissed my soul alive And the dreams we'll celebrating Jericha, all of me is for you @SONG: Pure Sweet, my love, like rain That strokes our window pane While inside you're pure And smiling silence warms and brightens my life Harsh my love, like wheat, That sighs in the summer heat May the earth stand still So still we are moving Exposed to the sun and the wine It's prickling in my nose It's sweat upon my hands It's the beauty of the rose Deserted in the sands All around my head There's a cloud full of snowmen Who sweep and smile Once in a while When you dance in my kingdom The nobels are shocked The chests of gold Are already unlocked My minstrels and court-fools In harness and armour Guard your way Night and day On and on On and on @SONG: Winterpause (instrumental) @SONG: Cat's Worst Grave I remember yearnings, so long ago Hiding in your helping hands, feeling low Every line I know, every song I learned by heart You stopped the flow from my bleeding soul After lover's grief had torn it apart Your comfort and your purity encouraged me To keep my dreams alive, to stand up to the storm In your tenderness, in your peacefulness you smiled You were so strong in your morality And so lovely like a child Heart of gold turned to stone Heart so old stop to pray "Salman must die! The arrow's on its way!" What has become of you, which devil burned your mind I know in wintertime it's hard to catch a leaf In your loneliness, in your rain you saw no light You who healed so many wounds, were killed in the fight Torturers must have robbed your corpse Torturers taught you to pray "Salman must die! The arrow's on its way!" I can't believe my ears It's not true what you say It's not you. You pray The divine satanic verses revealed satanic minds A grey old man without a smile, the cheering mob behind Inside their blinded hearts, mercy rebels in vain And their hate destroys unrestrained Is this a world you like, a heaven on earth, my friend Teaser and the firecat would've been tortured 'til the end I hope your god is merciful, more merciful than you Sad Lisa won't trust you no more Heart of stone return to gold Heart so old stop to pray "Salman must die! The arrow's on its way!" I can't believe my ears It's not true what you say It's not you. You pray Back in his hiding place, a poet tries to cry Last lines on a yellow sheet So cold without you, love @SONG: Dictator I've got a bomb-proof throne made from sculls of slaves Coloured shells to praise the lord And I've got six brown girls to shave my skin On the back seat of my sweet Concorde Between my ten swimming pools no chaos rules, I am divine Never I'll go back, don't wanna go back I'll never go back, it's all mine all mine There are memorials of me, thousands of them Along the borders, in the cities on the land My people love my dignity I'm more famous than any rock'n'roll band Ah, how I love you I just gotta say how I love you So get me child and man in a wheelchair And call me "The Mild" while stroke their hair I've heard rumours about revolution aloud No chance for that My soldiers are loyal for their wages are royal The rebels stay thin and I stay fat I've got friends everywhere in high position And they will always support my holy mission Never I'll go back, don't wanna go back I'll never go back, it's all mine all mine @SONG: The Ultimate Song This is the ultimate song, I feel it won't be long After the very last tones come trickling out your phones Your wishes all will explode Take a walk to the bomby wood, listen to the sirene's call Ignore the starving shades, convulsive in the glades Close you eyes, otherwise, your eyeballs will vaporize In the presence of megadeath, you'll hold your breath This is the ultimate song, I feel it won't be long After the very last tones come trickling out your phones Your wishes all will explode Don't complain my hero, it's all agreed long since The devils, the gods, the managers, they all have dropped their hints Turn around, hush, make no sound Maybe you can escape with a bad over your head Duck under your bed This is the ultimate song, I feel it won't be long After the very last tones come trickling out your phones Your wishes all will explode This is the ultimate tune, it will be over soon Make the most of the chance, enjoy the last dance "Get it while you can" Stay away sweet children, your dreams will burn to screams We don't see your pure hearts, hate is our fate For million years the billions tears haven't changed anything Those who cannot cry know the reason why This is the ultimate song, I feel it won't be long After the very last tones come trickling out your phones Your wishes all will explode This is the ultimate tune, it will be over soon Make the most of the chance, enjoy the last dance "Get it while you can" @SONG: Call For Life He hates the desk, that is grotesque With all its documents and lists and the screen Outside the sun, he wants to run away to face the day Without destroying his way Hurry up! Don't dare to stop! Something inside him screams It's creeping in, it's sweating out The fear of flying, the fear of dying, a roundabout It's time to decide, to choose the question mark or to hide From the fire still burning inside On the radio, 'though the level's low, he hears The Stones See how I'm flying it's the call for life Just pretend your wings are stronger than all the things That put you down and start your crying She's through the door of the seventh floor Her naked body lies dead on the ground Tears in his eyes asking for the wherefores and the why's And searching for the pure or at least the nice Not only on the radio, don't keep the level low, we receive the call See how I'm flying it's the call for life Just pretend your wings are stronger than all the things That put you down and start your crying See how I'm sailing in the eye of the storm Leave your fears behind or soon you'll be blind For the miracle called Life
