7. It's A Sin

[Words & Music by Neil Francis Tennant/Chris Lowe]
[(C) EMI Virgin]

[80'S POP ROCKED BY gamma ray]

When I look back upon my life
It's always with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin

Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin

At school they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didn't quite succeed
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin

Father, forgive me, I tried not to do it
Turned over a new leaf, then tore right through it
Whatever you taught me, I didn't believe it
Father, you fought me, 'cause I didn't care
And I still don't understand

So I look back upon my life
Forever with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to - it's a sin

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

8. Heavy Metal Universe

[Words & Music by Hansen]

We're the masters of the wind
We're demons left in howl
We're the undefeated warriors
We have heard the call
We're the keepers and the leaders
Of the only thing we love
We're the saviours
and protectors from above
In our sky there is no limits
And masters we have none
Heavy Metal is the only one
'Cause it's a Heavy Metal universe
With a Heavy Metal sound
Masters of the thunder
Shake you to the ground
It's a Heavy Metal bomber
And it's never going down
Flying 'cross the universe
We're Heavy Metal bound
We're Heavy Metal bound
With a burning hot desire
Like a supersonic blast
We have come to show the world
That we have come to last
There ain't no way to stop us
And you'll never kill our pride
'Cause it's not only music
It's a chosen way of life
And our world has got no borders
And in union we all stand
'Cause Heavy Metal is our promised land
'Cause it's a Heavy Metal universe
With a Heavy Metal sound
Masters of the thunder
Shake you to the ground

It's a Heavy Metal bomber
And it's never going down
Flying 'cross the universe
We're Heavy Metal bound
We're Heavy Metal bound
See my hands held to the sky
Let me rock you 'til forever
Raise your voice we're soaring high
Swear allegiance now or never
Burning up we build a flame
As we speak the oath together
Metal is our way forever...
...way forevermore
Our world has got no borders
And in union we all stand
Heavy Metal is our promised land
It's a Heavy Metal universe
With a Heavy Metal sound
Masters of the thunder
Shake you to the ground
It's a Heavy Metal bomber
And it's never going down
Flying 'cross the universe
We're Heavy Metal bound
We're Heavy Metal bound

9. Wings Of Destiny

[WORDS & MUSIC BY Richter]

Do you remember the days
When living was meant to be free
Not looking for fortune,
not looking for fame
The beauty of life was the key
We lived as one to conquer the world
A thousand dreams to come true
We knew in the end we'll find
The meaning of life and the truth
Once proud and full of passion
we formed a better world
We fought against oppression
and wisdom was our sword
On the path of glory
we searched the rainbows end
Lives meant to share,
where's the sign that we'd sent?

On sad wings of destiny
We're kings without a throne
If you believe in unity
Believe, 'cause you're not alone
Sad wings of destiny
The haunting thoughts of pain
The world's a patient majesty, but believe
The time, the time will take its toll
Now it's the time for a change
The days of your childhood are gone
The fool and the wise man
will burn at the stake
Confusion remaining too long
Violence and hate I won't see anymore
The innocent victims of fate
The prophets have written
their words on the wall
Wake up before it's too late
On the path of glory
we searched the rainbows end
Lives meant to share,
where's the sign that we'd sent?
On sad wings of destiny
We're kings without a throne
If you believe in unity
Believe, 'cause you're not alone
Sad wings of destiny
The haunting thoughts of pain
The world's a patient majesty, but believe
Believe, if you won't change your mind
All will remain the same
And soon, we'll find a common end
On the path of glory
we'll search the rainbows end
Lives meant to share,
where's the sign that we'd sent?
On sad wings of destiny
We're kings without a throne
If you believe in unity
Believe, 'cause you're not alone
Sweet child of innocence
Are you drowning in your tears?
The time has come for you my friend
Don't hide from evil made by your own hands
Let us try to fly again
One day we'll rise again
On wings of hope to be free ...

10. Hand Of Fate

[Words by Hansen/Schlächter]
[Music by Schlächter]

Now... that all seems so quiet
And we all have survived
But after all
Still we fear
The hand of fate...tonight
Men on the mountain
From hell you came to destroy
The realm of our freedom
Endangered to fade in the void
Now they are back on the earth
Taking their wrath to our land
An ocean full of darkness awaits
We will resist, fight until the end
And down below the dark lord waits
To fight our souls with hate,
Our hearts with rage
10.000 dreams, for glory rise
Now they're awaiting
the hand of fate tonight
So we have gathered here
beyond the endless skies
And we are marching on and on
forever more
For the dark lord - he must fall
Out on the edge of the world
The wasted years are coming to an end
The oceans of evil shall fade
Master of doom - we're taking it back again
Deep in our hearts we hear
The call of the wild
Spirits of yesterday will fly away
10.000 dreams, for glory rise
Now they're awaiting
the hand of fate tonight
10.000 dreams, for glory rise
Now they're awaiting
the hand of fate tonight
10.000 dreams, and still we ride
Now we're awaiting
the hand of fate tonight

11. Armageddon

[Words & Music by Hansen]

Now all you sinners, this is the prophecy
The revelation of your own destiny
You had a dream once,
a dream that you have sold
And now my brothers,
annihilation is foretold
Will you remember ancient times,
when we rode across the air,
When the day of judgement comes
And when your world is gonna blow
Through your heart and take your soul
In the twilight of the sun
I believe there's no tomorrow
when we all will sink in sorrow
When the day of judgement finally comes
It's the end of the world as we know it
And it's only just begun
The eyes of the world are closin' forever
When the day of judgement will come
Won't you help me now
Now tell me mother earth
oh, what went wrong
In the heart of everyone
Do you remember how it had begun
In the desert in the twilight of the sun
All dead and gone
Can you heal me, I am not the only one
Can you feel me, I don't want to be undone
I'm everyone
Save me from this living hell
I don't wanna know another tale
Someone help me through this on the way
Hear me now
It's the end of the world as we know it
And it's only just begun
The eyes of the world are closin' forever
When the day of judgement will come
Won't you help me now

All gods creation is finally dead and gone
Our revelation, the day of judgement comes
Forevermore I stand alone
The final fury has begun,
when the day has come
Guardians of the monsters of the earth
Take our lives away
and you forever will be cursed
Keepers of the darkness in this world
We will not surrender to the evil of your birth
Hope will never die,
And the clear blue sunny sky
will ease the pain,
Guardians of the monsters of the earth
Lead us not into temptation
Save us from the revelations
I stand alone, I stand alone,
I stand alone, Inside my head
No one can hear, no one can hear,
no one can hear, my little word
Holy father, take me on your wings of love
I wish that I could be forever free, oh yeah
It's the end of the world as we know it
And it's only just begun
The eyes of the world are closin' forever
When the day of judgement has ...
End of the world as we know it
And it's only just begun
The eyes of the world are closin' forever
When the day of judgement HAS come
Won't you help me now

[Epilogue:]
Now all you sinners
This is the prophecy
the revelation of your own destiny
Sleep well and dream on
The dream that you have sold
And now my brothers,
this world is slowly getting cold

2. Lust For Life

[Music: Hansen / Lyrics: Hansen]

Comin' out of misery,
Back to the old energy,
Takin' part in our daily show.
Think of what has been before,
Made a move and slammed the door.
Future will remain in the unknown.

Face the face of the race, try to understand.
Why are we here and what is beyond,
The wheel of our life that is spinning around.

Loud and proud, we're gonna say it now,
Live-Life-Easy
Live-Life-Easy
Everyday...

Many things to think about,
Bring me up or bring me down
A lot of things I hardly understand.
What is good and what is fair,
Problems solved, but I don't care
Sometimes it's just getting out of hand.

Tell me where, tell me when
Will I understand?
Why am I here and what is beyond?
The wheel of our life that is turning around

Loud and proud, we're gonna say it now,
Live-Life-Easy
Live-Life-Easy
Everyday...

Let us fly away, let us praise the days
When the lust for life is stronger than the fear.
Though we shiver and shake and we sometimes need a break.
It's the lust for life that never disappears.

3. Heaven Can Wait

[Music: Hansen / Lyrics: Hansen]

Too many people, too much trouble,
Too many problems in the morn.
Another sunrise in the rubble,
Another ship sunk by the storm.
Some little angel tries to tell me that it's over.
It's just a bad reflection from above.
The load upon my shoulder makes me stronger, even bolder.
Oh no no, I haven't had enough.

Heaven can wait, 'til another day.
Cause there ain't no reason to leave.
The world is a stage where we all can play.
Another fine reason to live,
And heaven can wait, heaven can wait.

Each day a new reason to give up,
Each day another reason to sigh.
A hundred thousand ways to live up,
A hundred thousan ways to try.
Hey, little angel, don't you tell me that it's over.
You're just a bad reflection from above.
The load upon my shoulder gives me reasons to get older.
Tell the boss I haven't had enough.

Our eyes are close but they should be open wide
Let's listen to the voice that's calling from inside.
Let's stay alive and move on, on our way
And heaven can wait, heaven can wait.
Heaven - can wait... 'til another day.
Heaven - can wait... 'til another day.

4. Heading For Tomorrow

[Music: Hansen / Lyrics: Hansen]

We are heading for tomorrow
But we don't know if we're near!
Well, we back of still abhorrow
Will we ever loose the fear?!

[Musical intro]

Time has passed in the modern world
Where the madmen live and speak their word.
Life in hand they deal with god
Put a trademark sign up on everyone.

God bless the children, freedom is their word.
Freedom, freedom 'til they learn to obey.
Here come the liars, reason is their name.
Reason, reason, play a silly game.
Where will the children go tomorrow?

Is anybody there to claim
That he understands our human game?
We can make a prophecy,
Oh we can't say what is going to be.

Where are we going, and what is our aim?
Freedom, freedom locked inside our brains
So many answers, reason is their name,
Reason, reason, questions will remain
Where will the children go tomorrow?

(Longing for the future... we never look back
We're heading for tomorrow... we look straight ahead
Where will the children go tomorrow... tomorrow...
Where will the children go tomorrow... tomorrow...)

(There is a light
Uh, I can see a light
Yeah, I can see a light
Oooh, can you see the light?
It's shinig for tomorrow
Tomorrow... tomorrow... tomorrow)

Hey you, hey you, hey you
Hey you, where do you go? - Heading for tomorrow
Hey you, hey you, hey you
Hey you, where do you go? - Heading for my life

Hey you, where do you go? - Heading for tomorrow
Hey you, where do you go? - I'm heading for my life
Hey you, where do you go? - Heading for tomorrow
Hey you, where do you go! - I'm heading for my life

When we are born, tell me what is our aim?
And what will be when society fails?
We are heading for tomorrow, we don't know if we are near.

When we are gone, tell me what will remain?
And what will be when society fails?

We are heading for tomorrow but we don't know if we're near!

5. Changes

[Music: Hansen, Scheepers, Schlachter, Wessel / Lyrics: Hansen, Wessel]

(Changes)
I need a new direction
Another thought to serve me right
My mind has got an infection
And there's nothing that seems to help,
(I need to grow an eye there,
Somewhere inside my head)
Where nothing can disturb me,
Where I am free, where I'm forever set

Maybe it's not important
If we are dead or alive.
I never ever wanna listen to the sirens
As I'm still alive.

Who says: we are not guilty
I say: we never know the way it goes

Changes - all around me, all inside my head
Changes - changing face, still remaining mad.
Changes - in all day routine.

Hard to enjoy the good times,
Decay is what I feel
Oh God, it's makin' me porous, vanish in haze,
I wonder, wonder if I'm real.

Newflash - under the new regulations
Non-conformity will be punished by law.
Relax - and don't forget to turn on your TV set!
Sigh no more!

For you, you are not guilty,
Oh no, you're not responsible at all.

Changes - all around me, all inside my head
Changes - changing face, still remaining mad.
Changes - changing systems, still insane.
Changes - and the madness will remain.
Changes.....

Who is the man who says I'm never gonna cry?
It's a lie, it's a lie!
And who is the man who says, I never have to sigh?
I'm alive, still alive!

Oppression, resistance
We will never change our way,
The island in my mind is growin'
More and more, day after day.

Changes - all around me now, all inside me now
Changes - wanna cry no more, sigh no more.
