Germany
Foreclosure Of A Dream
Rise so high, yet so far to fall
A plan of dignity and balance for all
Political breakthrough, euphoria's high
More borrowed money, more borrowed time
Backed in a corner, caught up in the race
Means to an end ended in disgrace
Perspective is lost in the spirit of the chase

Foreclosure of a dream
Those visions never seen
Until all is lost
Personal Holocaust
Foreclosure of a dream

Barren land that once filled a need
Are worthless now dead without a deed
Slipping away from an iron grip
Nature's scales are forced to tip
The heartland cries loss of all pride
To leave ain't believing so try and be tried
Insufficient funds, insanity and suicide

Now with new hope some will be proud
This is no hoax, no one pushed out
Receive a reprieve and be a pioneer
Break new ground of a new frontier
New ideas will surely get by
No deed or dividend, some may ask: Why?
You'll find the solution, the answers in the sky

Symphony Of Destruction
You take a mortal man
And put him in control
Watch him become a god
Watch peoples heads have roll

Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony of destruction

Acting like a robot
Its metal brain corrodes
You try to take its pulse
Before the head explodes

The earth starts to rumble
World powers fall
Have warring for the heavens
Have peaceful man stands tall

Peace Sells
What do you mean
I don't believe in God?
I talk to him every day
What do you mean
I don't support your system?
I go to court when I have to

What do you mean
I can't get to work on time?
I got nothing better to do
And what do you mean
I don't pay my bills?
Why do you think I'm broke? Huh?

If there's a new way
I'll be the first in line
But it better work this time

What do you mean
I hurt your feelings?
I didn't know you had any feelings
What do you mean
I ain't kind?
I'm just not your kind

What do you mean
I couldn't be president
Of the United States of America?
Tell me something
It's still "We the people…" right?

Can you put a price on peace?
Peace sells but who's buying?
No, peace sells

In My Darkest Hour
In my hour of need
You're not there
And though I reached out for you
Wouldn't lend a hand

Through the darkest hour
Grace did not shine on me
It feels so cold, very cold
No one cares for me

Did you ever think I get lonely
Did you ever think that I needed love
Did you ever think to stop thinking
You're the only one that I'm thinking of
You'll never know how hard I tried
To find my space and satisfy you too

Things will be better
When I'm dead and gone
Don't try to understand
Knowing you I'm probably wrong

But how I lived my life for you
Still you'd turn away
Now as I die for you
My flesh still crawls
As I breathe your name

All these years I thought I was wrong
Now I know it was you
Raise you head, raise your face, your eyes
Tell me who you think you are, who?

I walk alone
Into the promised land
There's a better place for me
But it's far away

Everlasting life for me
In a perfect world
But I gotta die first
Please God send me on my way

Time has a way of taking time
Loneliness is not only felt be fools
Alone I call to ease the pain
Yearning to be held by you
Alone - so alone, I'm lost
Consumed by the pain

Won't you hold me again
You just laughed - ha, bitch

My whole life is work built on the past
But the time has come
When all things shall pass
This good thing passed away
In my darkest hour

Skin Of My Teeth
I had wrists donning slits
Flowing constantly
My broken body in a wreck
Wrapped around a tree

A crosswalk hit and run
The finish line for me
People clutter in the gutter
Take a look and see

No escaping pain
You belong to me
Clinging on to life
By the skin of my teeth

My blood flows through the streets
Deluge from the wounds
Empty jars of sleeping pills
On the dresser of my room

My wet brain neighbor cranes
His neck to see in time
The white lights a train
Bearing down on me

I won't feel the hurt
I'm not trash any longer
That that doesn't kill me
Only makes me stronger

I need a ride to the morgue
That's what 911 is for
So tag my toe and don't forget
Ooh, to close the drawer
