1. Backwater
Cold wind blows over the sea
Like a messenger of the storm
The sky is iron-clad with clouds
The swallows fly low and scream
Refrain:
Over the sea a storm is breaking
Can´t get away, the earth is shaking
Backwater
It´s a game of heaven and earth
A tomblin´ ball on the hand of faith
Left to mercy of the waves
All is lost, you can´t get it back
2. Cry out
Do you know the violence of life
After you are born you´ll die
You better walk quick
Because you can´t trust anybody
Refrain:
Cry Out
Do you feel the fire of hate
You must find a way out of here
Try to touch the sky
But it can´t be done today
Late at night you lie in bed
Better think twice about life and death
Can´t you see there´s a lot to do
To lead your life not like a fool
Death is near when you´re down and out
So hold your head, hold it with pride
Try to change your way of life
But do it fast before you die
3. Ballad of dying
Do you care about what I tell
Would you dare to toll the bell
They used to live in freedom and peace
Then the white man came with a gun and they had to fall
Refrain:
Why don´t you fight back
There was no chance
Ballad of dying
Those white bastards came with a gun
And exterminated almost the whole red race
The red man knew how to fight
With his own hands, his own knives so they had to die
Refrain
Geronimo come on stand up, you fought your battles so hard and bravely
But now your soul has to endure eternal pain
Die white man you put them down
Die white rat get away and leave them being
4. Nuclear war
You´ve been told a million times or more
Weapons only exist to kill
When will you ever listen to that call
Of pain and hate
Mankind would have to die
Can´t you hear the endless cry
Death by war is not desired
So let´s have a peaceful riot
Refrain:
You better stop the armament
Stop that fuck
It may not lead to a nuclear war
No!
You know that the next war will destroy the earth
Could you imagine the destruction
See the peoples suffer from the fear of war
Why can´t you have mercy
Mankind would have to die
Can´t you hear the endless cry
Death by war is not desired
So let´s have a peaceful riot
Refrain
There is a mental disorder in everyones mind
A certain smell of death
Then, the warheads are striking out everywhere
Survivors cry out in despair
No mankind has died
No one hear the cry
Death caused by war
My bones are rotten to the core
5. Touch of the avenue
6. Vicious
Can you see this beast controlling us
People dressed in black and white
Power for the strongest, come what may
Why can´t we live in peace
Refrain:
Streets of war,
What are you fighting for
This is a nightmare that pulls the strings
Never let us come to rest
A powergame where no one thinks
No one gives an inch
7. Green-eyed woman
8. Smokin' drinkin'
9. Backwater part 2
