Awakenings


(Hinkel / Freudenthaler)

Embellish yourself,
Surround yourself with toy
A colour TV, a brand new car
Beaming with joy
You can run but you can never flee
The world is awaking

Don't you hear the nightingales
Chirping out of tune
Spinning right out of the misery
Winter is coming soon
Can you keep your head together
Can you really do
The world is awaking

Perfect repression, fences and walls
Eyes of obsession, temptation calls
Copulate yourself with dullness and insanity

Don't you hear the echobeat
Beating out of time
You're the perfect dancer
In this tango of crime
Do you like your kind of livin'
The world is awaking

The world is awaking
We're going one step too far
War is just ragin' on and on and on

You'd better believe me brother
If you can see the signs of love
You should better awake right now

One Way Out


(Hinkel / Freudenthaler / Wissler)

The game of the allurement
They're echoin' now again
Flocking to the prophets of pain
They're losin' their eyes
The frustration of the atmosphere is growin' a new
They're going to the pyre to fan the flame and you

Tell me how long
Tell me how long
It won't be long before they all
Are sorry for the gods they called
Tell me how long

Animal switch on bright lights to delude you
Encouraged by the silent masses, encouraged by the dark
Dumb brains they all forget and now they're baitin' again
Modesty was never real, was never real

Tell me how long
Tell me how long
It won't be long before they all
Are sorry for the gods they called
Tell me how long

There's a wall of hatred
There's a wall of pain
There's one solution you can get out again
There's a sea of tears and a life of sorrow
But if we're blind today we'll all get lost tomorrow

Tell me how long
Tell me how long
It won't be long before they all
Are sorry for the gods they called
Tell me how long

Fall For Her


(Hinkel)

I wonder where you are
While all the hopes inside my heart
Just fall apart
It's preying on my mind
But I'm still at a loss of words
They're so hard to find

But now I fall for her
I wonder how I could explain the reason why
And when I fall for her
I can't believe we have to say goodbye

This shadow on the wall
Is still your picture in my eyes
And I'm paralysed
A piece of broken glass
Some scraps of paper on the floor
Now there's nothing more

Still I will fall for her
I wonder how I could explain the reason why
And when I fall for her
I can't believe we have to say goodbye

When my thoughts became too strained
Then I was slowly sinking like raindrops in the sand
While your voice was in my ears
I was slowly drowning in the sea of my own tears

But now I fall
And now I fall

And I will fall for her
I wonder how I could explain the reason why
And when I fall for her
I can't believe we have to say goodbye

Spirit '91


(Hinkel / Freudenthaler / Wissler)

Take a walk go downtown
Move slowly and take care
Look around and think about it,
What they tell you everywhere
Monuments of glory,
Monuments of fame
Shouldn't we believe in your dream

A glimmering world it's blowing a gale
The invisible sun another fairy-tale
Bewildered thoughts in '91
There isn't anyone

Beggars on the left side
Pious politicians on the right
Golden doors and diamonds
Children killing children just aside
Advocate of freedom
Of justice and of peace
Shouldn't we believe in your dream

A glimmering world it's blowing a gale
The invisible sun another fairy-tale
Bewildered thoughts in '91
There isn't anyone

You've coloured yourself as beautiful
As beautiful as can be
But now your paint is peeling off
It's your face that I see
With your arts of deception
You've made the world go blind
But we are you, we are you America
Take a look behind

Shouldn't we find the spirit
A glimmering world it's blowing a gale
Shouldn't we find the spirit
The invisible sun another fairy-tale
Shouldn't we find the spirit

Running like an eagle on the last days of fall
The faster you run the less you feel yourself
Smashin' on the wall

Once In A Blue Moon


(Hinkel)

Don't be afraid when you're drowning
Under a sky made of blue
Don't be afraid 'cos that happens
Once in a blue moon
And don't be surprised when you fail
In changing your life for a new
Don't you be scared 'cos that happens
Once in a blue moon

So don't be afraid when you're leaving
Something that you loved behind
'Cos sooner or later you're going
To wipe the tears from your eyes
And don't be sad when your conscience
Is telling you nothing but truth
Don't be afraid 'cos that happens
Once in a blue moon

Don't be afraid when you're waking up
All alone in your room
I'm sure it will happen only
Once in a blue moon
And don't be sad when I'm dying
Under your sky made of blue

But I'm so scared it will happen
Once in a day
For me and you
