1. 39/93 time of the sunset, the wind's blowing cold they got a meeting tonight got clean shaved heads, knives in their pockets the need of violence, but lost reality I've got a feeling, I've got the fear that all these people have lost their minds got big history books, teachers who tell, but nothing is learned learned about racism fear I went home last night, 4 o'clock in the morning suddendly I heared a girl's yell I crossed the street, passed a narrow lane and saw the scenery - a young couple and 5 shaved they punched him to the ground, kicking him with their boots and the girl was screaming terrified nobody hears, wants to hear, nobody sees, wants to see it reminds me of 1939 time of the sunset, the wind's blowing cold they got a meeting tonight violence from boredom, brainless foreigner hate nothing is learned what's wrong with these guys prefer the drinking the thinking, brutality sucks don't give sick leaders a chance old man wake up again, we are marching back to hell, into the year, the year of 1939 2. oceans I feel a strange feeling coming over fills up my mind, fills up my soul all the years, they are passing passing by my inner eye I remember all the things that you've told me about you and your cry now I'm swimming through the seas of sorrow and my thoughts, they fade away sitting quiet in the shine of a candle my eyes are moving shy all my thoughts and all emotions isolation of my mind I remember quiet voices speaking slowly gave me soothing lullaby but the wave, it caught me in the oceans of your cry 3. trapped in life I take a look inside, but I don't know why I don't know why I'm bleeding deep inside my mind I ask myself, ask for some sense ask myself, tell myself... I don't know what is real, don't know what is wrong what is right, I'm sitting in a golden cage I've stopped the fight, I tell myself I'm not down I'm not down... it's been a real long day, following a longer night I feel that I'm not strong enough to stand this fight I comfort myself, I hurt myself I hurt myself... I get a psychodelic breakdown every hour everyone is staring at me , I can't get out I am a prisoner, trapped in my life I am a prisoner... 4. stop I've stopped thinking today about the cruelty and the sense of living in this world I've switched off my mind this senseless machine it's got senseless in society yes I've stopped but I'm alive inside I've stopped shifting I've stopped thinking about the sense of living in this society yes I've stopped but I'm alive inside I'm sitting in a park watching the birds and I wonder why why they don't fly away from here real - I've got things I can believe in true - I've got things I can believe sitting in a small room emptiness inside of me sitting in a small black room emptiness inside of me 5. no excuse sometimes I'm sitting and I wonder what's gone wrong and I wonder why we've made these faults my love - I'm sorry - can't you forgive and I know that there is no excuse now I don't know what to do don't know what to say to you when I see the tears in your eyes and these tears are hot and real and burn into my heart and now I know that you don't want me anymore don't want to touch me - I understand I broke your little world into and I can't turn back time to say goodbye - to try I'm trying but I know that there is no excuse 6. gone all the flowers of my brain are gone away I am sitting quiet, staring wild at the sea, and I know all the lights are gone away, yes I know all the lights are gone away in my thoughts is everything and nothing at the same time all the flowers of my brain are gone away my head is empty, staring numb at the sea, and I know all the lights are gone away, yes I know all the lights are gone away look into this staring eyes look into these cold wild staring eyes walking down the street as against a wall anyone I meet, I hate them all I shout at you 'cause I can't cry staring wild into your eyes I've got my arms around myself you've got your arms around someone else I'm so blind, no self-control I'm falling into self-destruction all the flowers, all the lights are gone something in my head must be wrong I'm so confused, so full of hate I am lying in my bed of nails I am sitting quiet, staring wild, numb at the sea all the flowers of my brain are gone away sitting, thinking, drinking sinking, no one's real, and I know all the lights are gone away, yes I know all the lights are gone away 7. grey street of stone I'm sitting at the window, the lights are all flashing, I'm watching the cars passing by. there is smoke in my brain and I'm sitting here, one thought, one thought, it is why. I'm thinking of her like she's a flower, a flower of stone in my brain. she's so pretty and she's my girl, but her place seems to be beside this guy. I'm sitting at the window, the lights are all flashing, I'm watching the cars pass me by. there's smoke in my brain and I'm sitting here, one thought, one thought, it is why. I'm tumbling around, crying in the snow, the blood covers everything. it's raining hard, the wind's blowing cold and the dust, it fills up my mouth. deep as the ocean, hard as a stone, memories of fire and fall. I'm sinking and crying, thinking and dying in my long, my grey street of stone. I'm sitting at the window, the lights are just darkened, rarely a car's passing by. what ever happens, she's in my thoughts, in my thoughts, in the grey street of stone. she's in my thoughts, ever in my thoughts, in that long, that grey street of stone. 8. little pretty ditty got a breakdown every day thinks she's alone again then she drinks all the day it takes away her pain she cannot stand the fight reality breaks her mind daughter is in the way reaction is called pay why can't she stop the pain try to live again she's never talking much can't stand her daughter's touch you see a wasted land she got it every day she's living in big lies maybe it satisfies 9. instrumetalic instrumental 10. heavy sports instrumental 11. mystic ocean instrumental
