All Or Nothing (Single Version)

Revolution in the streets
Our vision turned into reality
Too late to stop it now
A spark that's lit a fire burning high

It's time to take a stand
Stand up for your rights and your beliefs
Together we'll strang - we're gonna fight them all
We got the power - to turn the world around

It's all or nothing - and we don't stop fighting
All or nothing - and we won't back down
It's all or nothing - we can light a fire
All or nothing - we will take it all

No matter what you are
No matter where you're from and where you go
There's a place for all of you
Side by side - we can only win

No turning back the time
The force is growing day by day
No wall is high enough - no chain too strong
We got the power - to double back around

It's all or nothing - and we don't stop fighting
All or nothing - and we won't back down
It's all or nothing - we can strike a fire
All or nothing - we will take it all - we will take it all

It's all or nothing - let us break the silence
All or nothing - we will shout it out
It's all or nothing - so we'll strike a fire
All or nothing

Amamos La Vida

In times of peace
Times of war
The sky remains the same
You reach for the stars too far away

The one who's born in misery
Is left without a chance
But still holding on to naked life

Amamos la vida
Amamos la vida

What a time - what a place
For someone who's lost
It's hard to survive
In the jungle of life

Amamos la vida
Amamos la vida

Is there someone to hear me
Is there no one to see
Is there someone to hear me
Doesn't anybody care

A single tear in the river of life
The dogs have turned their backs
Today a face - that you don't know
And tomorrow it's you

Amamos la vida...
A single tear in the river of life
Amamos la vida
Amamos la vida

Generation Clash

Generation clash - Generation clash

Warnings around me
Coming on strong
Hear the desire
That young dudes are fools

But systems will break down
The way they all do
A general burden
When ever we're through

Powers are freezing
The way that they are
They're fornicating
With each others minds

Typical outcome in whatever we do
We stand on our own rebellion the groove

Generation Clash
Generation Clash - we got the guts to go

They're blaming our music
Say we're wasting time
The fever's been itching
While we stand in line

'cause you're always bitching
You can't hold back the time

Searching for treasure or something to hold
We'll find our pleasure in the cast you mold

Generation Clash
Generation Clash - and so the story goes
Generation Clash - ain't gonna wipe my nose
Generation Clash - ain't got the time to know

Hey Mom (Generation)
Have you always followed the golden rule (Clash)
'cause this just happens to be my first love (Generation)
And that being (Clash)
A must - a must (Generation)
That being playin' my guitar (Clash)

We try to follow your golden rule
Don't seem to matter we ain't from your school
We tries to reason tried to turn it inside out
Without no compromising my guitar will scream out loud - oh

Generation Clash
Generation Clash - that's how the story goes
Generation Clash - and only time will show
Generation Clash - You gotta gotta let me go

Generation Clash
Generation Clash
Generation Clash
Generation Clash

It's Hard To Find A Way

You tried to make me feel
Our love could be real
And I tried, tried to make you feel
You and me have a chance

We tried to understand
Promises have to be kept
But it's only a game
Where both of us hope to win

But I just found the first little cut
And I wonder why, oh God, but so what

It's hard to understand - and find a way
To give you all my life
Hard to understand - and hard to say
To give you all my life

Well, I pretend tonight
Our life is alright
But I feel the weakness now
Of living with a lie

I'm acting sweetness
But I'm burning in hate
'cause I can't stand you hurting me
The same way I hurt you

But I just found the first little cut
And I wonder why, oh God, but so what

It's hard to understand - and find a way
To give you all my life
Hard to understand - and hard to say
To give you all my life
It's hard to understand - and find a way
To give you all my life
Hard to understand - so hard to say
To give you all my life

It's hard to understand - and find a way
Hard to understand - to understand
Hard to understand - you and me have a chance
To give you all my life
I'm burning in hate 'cause it's just a game
To give you all my life
It's hard to understand - so hard to understand
To give you all my life
Hard to understand - so hard to say
To give you all my life

Walking In The Shadow

All my fire ain't gone inside
Only with you I will survive
And I live in the shadow of this wall
With fifty-eight thousand all in all

I surrender - I surrender
Heart'n'soul's gone to nowhere

Walking in the shadow - walking in the night
Walking in the shadow - walking in the night

For the very first time in your life
You've not been the last in line
You had to die instead of me
Do I have to live for you now

Is that what you want me to do
Live in agony and pain

Walking in the shadow - walking in the night
Walking in the shadow - walking in the night
In the night

Walking in the shadow - walking in the night
Walking in the shadow - walking in the night

Oh, yeah !
Walking in the shadow - walking in the night
Walking in the shadow - walking in the night
In the night - in the night

Guardian Of The Night

In the night of the day I was born

Quite sure I wouldn't see tomorrow
All the days I was wasting alone
Always waiting for the nights without sorrow

Mister, mister, you don't know what I am
Can't you hear it always trembling in my voice
Don't you know I'm doing all that I can
But I'm a man without any choice

Everyday's only pain for me
I don't like the sunlight shining on my head
I'm a man that was born for the dark
Every light that sines's making me feel bad

Lady, lady, put your hand on my head
Can't you feel the grieving sorrows in my brain
Cause I'm the one who's behaving so bad
I need the feelings for you again

Man of the dark - The guardian of the night
Man of the dark - The guardian of the night

I don't like people working all day
Only working just to see next tomorrow
But they are happy while they're living that way
In that world I gotta beg, steal or borrow

Mister, mister, you don't know what I am
Can't you hear it always trembling in my voice
Don't you know I'm doing all that I can
But I'm a man without any choice

Man of the dark - The guardian of the night
Man of the dark - The guardian of the night

Of the night - of the dark

Man of the dark - The guardian of the night
Man of the dark - The guardian of the night

Winter Dreams

There's snow on the mountain
And fog in the street
Flickering candles in the room
Hear the church bell ring

See the children playing
I feel their pure delight
And the snow is falling
Taking me away

Cold winter nights - Cold winter dreams
Reflecting the sound of my heart
It's my taste of freedom
Cold winter nights - Cold winter dreams
Don't try to tear me apart - Cold winter dreams

Find myself in peace
Warn from underneath
Wish you would be here
In this magic scene

I've escaped from reality
Dancing in the snow
Cold blue sky gives me
The innocence I need

Cold winter nights - Cold winter dreams
Freezing the heat in my heart
It's my taste of freedom
Cold winter nights - Cold winter dreams
Chill me and tear me apart - Cold winter dreams

The world seems so clear
Like a wonderful diamond
Can't imagine there's meanness
Can't imagine one lie

But when I'm dead and gone
And snow's pouring down
I'm buried and covered
Peaceful under millions of stars

Cold winter nights - Cold winter dreams
Reflecting the sound of my heart
It's my taste of freedom
Cold winter nights - Cold winter dreams
Don't try to tear me apart - Cold winter dreams

Run Through The Night

After all we've done - our past is gone
Future is no more - what it used to be
When we have been more sensible

And our world was safe
I'm living in this empty room
A room without a door

I run through the night
I can't handle my fears
I run through the night
Cannot hide my tears
I run through the night

I'm longing for a smile - dying for a little hope
Can't you see my pain
I'm with you but - still alone

At times when we're more sensible
I need you more and more
I am living in this empty room
a room without a door

I run through the night
I can't handle my fears
I run through the night
Cannot hide my tears
I run through the night - I run through the night

Hard Attack

In the heat of the night
You've pushed my juice to the limit

You slide so right
I know that you're going down

It's getting harder to breathe
You burn my bones with your fever

[I'm gonna get ya]- while you sleep
[I'm gonna wreck ya]- release your body heat
[I'm gonna get ya]-I know you're gonna come with me

I wanna be your - Hard Attack - Hard Attack
You gonna feel my Hard Attack - Hard Arrack

When you shiver and shake
I'm a man hell bent on a mission

We're doing it good
I'm a tiger on heat tonight
(I'm gonna get ya)- while you steep
(I'm gonna wreck ya)- release your body heat
(I'm gonna get ya)-I know you're gonna come with me

Generation Clash II

Warnings surround you

That life ain't long
Same old stories
You've heard 'em before

They tell you to listen
To be like they've been
You carry a burden
Whatever you do

They never approve of
The things that you do
Revolution
In the heart of your home

But what do they do
To comfort you
At times when you don't feel alright

Generation Clash
Generation Clash - you got
the guts to go

Bitching forever
For wasting time
You better not worry
You're doing alright
They tell you to listen
To be like they've been

But what do they do
To comfort you
At times when you don't feel alright

Generation Clash
Generation Clash - you got
the guts to go
Generation Clash -
kiss those times goodbye
Generation Clash - you got
the guts to go

Generation Clash
Generation Clash - you got
the guts to go
Generation Clash -
kiss those times goodbye -
the times are gone for good
Generation Clash - you got
the guts to go

Generation Clash - oh it's the
generation Clash
Generation Clash - nothing ventured
nothing gained - so get alive
Generation Clash ...

Writing On The Wall II

A thousand years from now on
The flame of life's gone out
The earth - a frozen wasteland
No living trace - no sounds

The world did die in anguish
The ashes turned to dust
Fire and ice - blackness of night
Man's evolution has lost

Don't tell me that we didn't know
And that we haven't been told
The final S.O.S. we all ignored

We've seen the writing on the wall
The writing on the wall

The science of the madman
Was getting out of control
For every creature comfort
There is a heavy toll

We turned on mother nature
Stabbed her deep in the back
We ripped out her lungs - poisoned her veins
Internal acid attack

Don't tell me that we didn't know
And that we've never been told
The final S.O.S. we all ignored

We've seen the writing on the wall
The writing on the wall
Seen the writing on the wall

I'm just painting a picture
Of how it could be
But time's running out - the lock's ticking down
You're not blind - can't you see

Don't tell me that we still don't know
And that we're not being told
The final S.O.S. we shouldn't ignore
Just read the writing on the wall
The writing on the wall
Read the writing on the wall
The writing on the wall

Living For Tonite

Always on the run
Where you are going, what you are doing
Looking just for fun
Love the twilight, love the dark
Rats - are all around
And I am waiting for a head
Take what you want
And if you need it take it now
Guess it will be just alright
I'm living for tonite - tonite
Living for tonite - tonite
Working out my way
Find some ramp - rats, find some victims
Bad games all night long
We need to hide it just for fun
Games - we shouldn't play
And if you need some help - just wait
I'm going out into the dark
Guess it will be just alright
I'm living for tonite - tonite
Living for tonite - tonite
Gimme your body
Take what you want
Can't wait anymore
I'm living for tonite - living for tonite
Tonite - living for tonite
Tonite - living for tonite
Tonite - I'm living, - living for tonite
