The Magic Word Songtext
Do you know the magic word
Do you know the secret
I once knew the tragic word, long ago
I'll be near the end of time
Yonder waits the pain
I can hear the children's rhymes, citing in vain

(Aaahhh... x5)

Stop killing (x3)
Give life a chance

Deep down you know what's right or wrong
Deep down you know inside you
Deep down you know where you belong, which side you're on

But you are the one,
to choose right or wrong
It's better to lose all you want
than, lose the sun

(Stop Killing)
Cuz' it's always wrong
(Stop Killing)
You've got to know what's right or wrong
(Stop Killing)
We've got to know where we belong
(Stop Killing)
Cuz' it is always wrong
(Stop Killing)
Cuz' each and every life is sacred

Though you know the magic word
Though you feel the pain
Still your bow and arrow hurts, there's no game

Do you dare to throw the first stone?
Are you with a plague?
Do you care to know the firstborn?
Are you in a chain?

Are the flowers in your heart
still alive or are they charred?
Are the towers of your heart
full of life or are they gone?

Feel your heart

(Aaah...x3)

Are the windows of your heart,
full of light or are they shut?
Are the echoes of your past,
will they fade or will they last,
will they remember you?

In the name of the one you love.
In the name of the one you trust.
In the name of the one above. [Omit second time around]
Give life a chance.
(2x)

Stop... Killing
Stop... Stop Killing, Stop Killing, Stop Killing, Stop Killing, Stop Killing
Give life a chance (Aaaah...)

(Give life a chance)
