Tripping the world imperial (Look inside her) Leaving the world material (Can't hide her) Tripping the world imperial (Look inside her) Leaving the world material (Can't hide her) You look at the riverbanks She's looking behind you The black clouds they fall hard and heavy As Eden will astound you So hail to those who give their lives Who don't stand back when evil rises It's not a matter of King or Country So you think it is over Do you think it is really over? Look up that skyline There's a bad moon rising You may not like it but that's the lizard you're riding SongtexteThe smiles & suits on TV news they feed us all She's the greatest of liars The stupid bird who dares to speak the naked truth soon lies flat on the wire So you think it is over Do you think it is really over? Look up that skyline There's a bad moon rising You may not like it but that's the lizard you're riding We're all just the same old sinner Fighting for a piece of nothing Same mistakes go round again - same stupid men Covering up his bloody trail Cain he came back emptyhanded With no fathers blessing and no holy grail Look around you - take it in before your day is done When I found you - I was cold and all my lovin' gone Live inside her - Like a spiral Sending lifelines from the ground When I found her - she was cold - still in her wedding gown Look inside her And now that she's gone - she brought the darkness down She brought the darkness down Trees surround you - they say your body is the garden of your soul Lights will blind you - and all these roads they say they lead to Rome Eyes have found her - but you say you're better off alone You plead forgiveness for a soul that's bad beyond the bone There's truth in numbers There's truth in scales There's truth in science and truth in sales And when the sweetness comes to an end You try to bargain to live again There's truth in progress There's truth in fame There's truth in healing and the truth remains And when the sweetness comes to an end You try to bargain to live again You look around for the brightest minds or just a few simple words of kindness A world gone shallow, cold and mean It's like a wasteland void of dreams Hoping and praying that we'll find our way back home There's truth in numbers There's truth in scales There's truth in science and truth in sales And when the sweetness comes to an end You try to bargain to live again You look around for the brightest minds or just a few simple words of kindness A world gone shallow, cold and mean It's like a wasteland void of dreams Hoping and praying that we'll find our way back home And then the numbers may not come up right and the artifacts are more than frightening Between the bible and eternal question There's an ocean of fear and we're sinking faster And then the numbers may not come up right and the artifacts are more than frightening Between the bible and eternal question There's an ocean of fear and we're sinking faster And then the numbers may not come up right and the artifacts are more than frightening Between the bible and eternal question There's an ocean of fear and we're sinking faster Look up that skyline There's a bad moon rising You may not like it but that's the lizard you're riding Look up that skyline There's a bad moon rising You may not like it but that's the lizard you're riding Aus Songtexte Mania
