    Tomorrow's Dream

    Well, I’m leaving tomorrow at daybreak
    Catch the fastest train that I find
    Yes I’m leaving the sorrow and heartache
    Before it takes me away from my mind

    Send me love and I may let you see me
    Send me hopes I can fit in my head
    But if you really want me to answer
    I can only let you know when I’m dead

    When sadness fills my days
    It’s time to turn away
    And let tomorrow’s dreams
    Become reality to me

    So realize I’m much better without you
    You’re not the one and only thing in my heart
    I’ll just go back to pretending I’m living
    So this time I’m gonna have the star part

    Sweet Leaf

    Alright now!
    Won’t you listen?

    When I first met you, didn’t realize
    I can’t forget you or your surprise
    You introduced me to my mind
    And left me wanting you and your kind

    I love you. Oh you know it.

    My life was empty forever on a down
    Until you took me, showed me around
    My life is free now, my life is clear
    I love you sweet leaf—though you can’t hear.

    Come on now—try it out

    Straight people don’t know what you’re about
    They put you down and shut you out
    You gave to me a new belief
    And soon the world will love you sweet leaf.

    Killing Yourself to Live

    Well people look and people stare
    Well I don’t think that I even care
    You work your life away and what do they give?
    You’re only killing yourself to live
    Killing yourself to live

    Just take a look around you what do you see
    Pain, suffering and misery
    It’s not the way that the world was planned
    It’s a pity you don’t understand
    Killing yourself to live

    I’m telling you
    Believe in me
    Nobody else will tell you
    Open your eyes
    And see the lies, oh yeah

    You think that I’m crazy and baby
    I know that it’s true
    Before that you know it I think
    That you’ll go crazy too

    I don’t know if I’m up or down
    Whether black is white or blue is brown
    The colors in my life are all different somehow
    Little boy blue’s a big girl now

    So you think it’s me who’s strange
    But you’ve never had to make the change
    Never give your trust away
    You’ll end up paying ’til your dying day

    Cornucopia

    Too much near the truth they say
    Keep it till another day
    Let them have their little game
    Delusion helps to keep them sane

    Let them have their little toys
    Matchbox cars and mortgaged joys
    Exciting in their plastic ways
    Frozen food in a concrete maze

    You’re gonna go insane
    I’m trying to save your brain

    All right

    I don’t know what’s happening
    My head’s all torn inside
    People say I’m heavy
    They don’t know what I hide

    Take a life, it’s going cheap
    Kill someone, no one will weep
    Freedom’s yours, just pay your dues
    We just want your soul to use

    You’re gonna go insane
    I’m trying to save your brain

    Snowblind

    What you get and what you see
    Things that don’t come easily
    Feeling happy in my pain
    Icicles within my brain

    Something blowing in my head
    Winds of ice that soon will spread
    Down to freeze my very soul
    Makes me happy, makes me cold

    My eyes are blind, but I can see
    The snowflakes glisten on the tree
    The sun no longer sets me free
    I feel the snowflakes freezing me

    Let the winter sunshine on
    Let me feel the frost of dawn
    Build my dreams on flakes of snow
    Soon I’ll feel the chilling glow

    Don’t you think I know what I’m doing
    Don’t tell me that it’s doing me wrong
    You’re the one that’s really the loser
    This is where I feel I belong

    Kiss the world with winter flowers
    Turn my days to frozen hours
    Lying snowblind in the sun
    Will my ice age ever come

    Children of the Grave

    Revolution in their minds The children start to march
    Against the world in which they have to live
    And all the hate that’s in their hearts
    They’re tired of being pushed around
    And told just what to do
    They’ll fight the world until they’ve won And love comes flowing through.

    Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today
    Will the sunrise of tomorrow bring in peace in any way
    Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear
    Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear?

    So you children of the world, listen to what I say
    If you want a better place to live in spread the word today
    Show the world that love is still alive You must be brave
    Or you children of today are children of the grave.

    War Pigs

    Generals gathered in their masses
    Just like witches at black masses
    Evil minds that plot destruction
    Sorcerers of death’s construction
    In the fields the bodies burning
    As the war machine keeps turning
    Death and hatred to mankind
    Poisoning their brainwashed minds
    Oh Lord yeah

    Politicians hide themselves away
    They only started the war
    Why should they go out to fight
    They leave that all to the poor

    Time will tell on their power minds
    Making war just for fun
    Treating people just like pawns in chess
    Wait till their judgment day comes

    Now in darkness world stops turning
    Ashes were the bodies burning
    No more war pigs have the power
    Hand of God has struck the hour
    Day of Judgment God is calling
    On their knees the war pigs crawling
    Begging mercies for their sins
    Satan laughing spreads his wings
    Oh Lord yeah

    Wicked World

    The world today is such a wicked place
    Fighting going on between the human race
    People got to work just to earn their bread
    While people just across the sea are
    counting their dead

    A politician’s job they say is very high
    For he has to choose who’s got to go and die
    They can put a man on the Moon quite easy
    While people here on Earth are dying of all diseases

    A woman goes to work every day after day
    She just goes to work just to earn her pay
    Child sitting crying by a life that’s harder
    He doesn’t even know who is his father

    Paranoid

    Finished with my woman
    ’Cause she couldn’t help me with my mind
    People think I’m insane
    Because I am frowning all the time

    All day long I think of things
    But nothing seems to satisfy
    Think I’ll lose my mind
    If I don’t find something to pacify

    Can you help me
    Occupy my brain
    Oh yeah

    I need someone to show me
    The things in life that I can’t find
    I can’t see the things that make true happiness
    I must be blind

    Make a joke and I will sigh
    And you will laugh and I will cry
    Happiness I cannot feel
    And love to me is so unreal

    And so as you hear these words
    Telling you now of my state
    I tell you to enjoy life
    I wish I could but it’s too late

    Hand of Doom

    What you gonna do
    Time’s caught up with you
    Now you wait your turn
    You know there’s no return

    Change your empty rules
    You join the other fools
    Turn to something new
    Now it’s killing you

    First it was the bomb, Vietnam napalm
    Disillusioning, you push the needle in
    From life you escape, reality’s black drape
    Colors in your mind, satisfy your time

    Oh you, you know you must be blind
    To do such things like this
    To take the sweet that you don’t know
    You’re giving Death a kiss
    Poor little fool now

    Your Mind is full of pleasure
    Your body’s looking ill
    To you it’s shallow leisure
    So drop the acid pill
    Don’t stop to think now

    You’re having a good time baby
    But that won’t last
    Your mind’s all full of things
    You’re living too fast
    Go out, enjoy yourself
    Don’t bottle it in
    You need someone to help you
    Stick the needle in, yeah

    Now you know the scene
    Your skin starts turning green
    Your eyes no longer see life’s reality
    Push the needle in
    Face Death’s sickly grin
    Holes are in your skin
    Caused by deadly pin

    Head starts spinning ’round
    You Fall down to the ground
    Feel your body heave
    Death hand start to weave

    It’s too late to turn
    You don’t want to learn
    Price of life is high
    Now you’re gonna die

    Hole in the Sky

    I’m looking through a hole in the sky
    I’m seeing nowhere through the eyes of a lie
    I’m getting closer to the end of the line
    I’m living easy where the sun doesn’t shine

    I’m living in a room without any view
    I’m living free because the rent’s never due
    The synonym of all the things that I’ve said
    Are just the riddles that are built in my head

    Hole in the sky
    Gateway to heaven
    Window in time
    Through it I’ll fly

    I’ve seen the stars that disappear in the sun
    But shooting’s easy if you’ve got the right gun
    And even though I’m sitting waiting for Mars
    I don’t believe there’s any future in cars

    I’ve watched the dogs of war enjoying their feast
    I’ve seen the western world go down in the east
    The food of love became the greed of our time
    And now we’re living on the profits of crime

    Symptom of the Univers

    Take me through the centuries to supersonic years
    Electrifying enemy is drowning in his tears
    All I have to give you is a love that never dies
    The symptom of the universe is written in your eyes

    Mother Moon she’s calling me back to her silver womb
    Father of creation takes me from my stolen tomb
    Seventh Advent unicorn is waiting in the skies
    A symptom of the universe, a love that never dies

    Take my hand, my child of love, come step inside my tears
    Swim the magic ocean I’ve been crying all these years
    With our love we’ll ride away into eternal skies
    A symptom of the universe, a love that never dies

    Woman child of love’s creation come and step inside my dreams
    In your eyes I see no sadness you are all that loving means
    Take my hand and we’ll go riding through the sunshine from above
    We’ll find happiness together in the summer skies of love

    Megalomania

    I hide myself inside the shadows of shame
    The silent symphonies were playing their game
    My body echoed to the dreams of my soul
    It started something that I could not control

    Where can I run to now, the joke is on me
    No sympathizing God, it’s insanity yeah

    Why don’t you just get out of my life, yeah
    Why don’t you just get out of my life, now
    Why doesn’t everybody leave me alone, now
    Why doesn’t everybody leave me alone, yeah

    Obsessed with fantasy, possessed with my schemes
    I mixed reality with pseudo god dreams
    The ghost of violence was something I’d seen
    I sold my soul to be the human obscene

    How could this poison be the dream of my soul
    How did my fantasies take complete control, yeah

    Well I feel something’s taking me I don’t know where
    It’s like a trip inside a separate mind
    The ghost of tomorrow from my favorite dream
    Is telling me to leave it all behind
    Feel it slipping away, slipping in tomorrow
    Gotta get to happiness
    Want no more of sorrow

    Realised when to hide
    How I tried to get away from you now
    Now am I right if I fight
    That I might just get away from you now
    Sting me!

    Well, I feel something’s giving me the chance to return
    It’s giving me the chance of saving my soul
    Pictures of demigod are fading away
    I’m going backwards but I’m in control
    Feel it slipping away, slipping in tomorrow
    Getting back to sanity, providence of sorrow

    Was it wise to disguise
    How I tried to get away from you now
    Is there a way that I can pay
    Or is it true I have to stay with you now

    How I lied, went to hide
    How I tried to get away from you now
    Am I right in my fight
    That I might just get away from you now
    Suck me!

    I’m really digging schizophrenia, the best of the earth
    I’ll chase my soul in the fires of hell
    Peace of mind eluded me but now it’s all mine
    I simply try but he wants me to fail
    Feel it slipping away, slipping in tomorrow
    Now I’ve found my happiness, providence of sorrow

    No more lies, I got wise
    I despise the way I worshipped you
    Now I’m free let me see
    That now instead, I won’t be led by you now

    Iron Man

    Has he lost his mind
    Can he see or is he blind
    Can he walk at all
    Or if he moves will he fall

    Is he alive or dead
    Has he thoughts within his head
    We’ll just pass him there
    Why should we even care

    He was turned to steel
    In the great magnetic field
    When he traveled time
    For the future of mankind

    Nobody wants him
    He just stares at the world
    Planning his vengeance
    That he will soon unfurl

    Now the time is here
    For Iron Man to spread fear
    Vengeance from the grave
    Kills the people he once saved

    Nobody wants him
    They just turn their heads
    Nobody helps him
    Now he has his revenge

    Heavy boots of lead
    Fill his victims full of dread
    Running as fast as they can
    Iron Man lives again!

    Black Sabbath

    What is this that stands before me
    Figure in black which points at me
    Turn ’round quick and start to run
    Find out I’m the chosen one. Oh no!

    Big black shape with eyes of fire
    Telling people their desire
    Satan sitting there he’s smiling
    Watch those flames get higher and higher.
    Oh no, no
    Please God help me!

    This is the end my friend
    Satan’s coming round the bend
    People running ’cause they’re scared
    You people better go and beware
    No! No! Please! No!

    N.I.B.

    Leaving the life you led before we met

    Forever with me till the end of time

    Before you know the way I’m going to feel
    I’m going to feel
    I’m going to feel

    Now I have you with me under my power
    Our love grows stronger now with every hour
    Look into my eyes you’ll see who I am
    My name is Lucifer please take my hand

    Fairies Wear Boots

    Goin’ home late last night
    Suddenly I got a fright
    Yeah I looked through a window
    And surprised what I saw
    Fairy with boots and dancin’ with a dwarf Alright now

    Yeah, fairies wear boots and you gotta
    believe me
    Yeah, I saw it I saw it
    I tell you no lie
    Yeah, fairies wear boots and you gotta
    believe me
    I saw it, I saw it with my own two eyes
    All right now

    So I went to the doctor to see what he
    could give me
    He said son, son, you’ve gone too far
    ’Cause smokin’ and trippin’ is all that you do

    Yeah
