Chronos
04:28
|

Chronos keeper of time
Lost in nowhere
Forgotten and gone
Part of Orpheus mystics
and centuries BC
created out of dark chaos.
Creator of the silvery egg from
which Phanes and Hydrus came.
A beardless figure with big wings.
Chronos keeper of time
Lost in nowhere
Forgotten and gone
Returned in late middle ages as a
bearded old men with an hourglass,
wielding the harvesting scythe.
Never a cult in ancient times -
today he decorates graves to
symbolize the end of humans life.
The time is ticking away and ticking away, ticking away ... yeah
Chronos keeper of time
Lost in nowhere
Forgotten and gone
Lost, forgotten and gone.

Anger
04:21
|
|||
He’s coming home late from work
most of the time not here
but hours on the road
No warm welcome from all
and anger is lying in the air.
Not sure why - he does his best,
earns the cash and pay the bills
but is he an ass or why is that –
that anger here at home?
Anger - about whom?
Anger - why is that?
Anger - what’s going on?
And why is that like it is?
And why is that like it is?
Anger
Chilling and reading in the untidy room
trashcan often full,
papers lying all over the floor,
dusty room – doesn’t look nice at all.
Adrenaline is high, blood is boiling hot,
relations running low, next bad words
are in the queue. Hormones playing crazy
and produce new anger but
… about whom?
Anger - about whom?
Anger - why is that?
Anger - what’s going on?
And why is that like it is?
And why is that like it is?
Anger
Anger here at home
Anger - about whom?
Anger - why is that?
Anger - what’s going on?
And why is that like it is?
And why is that like it is?

Quija

Today’s long winter night we play an
unreal game to give contacting
ghosts a try. Use the board with alphabet
numbers, sun and moon, a planchette
should start moving - spell the words.
Shut the lights and burn a candle, start asking
who is there and read the words the
ghosts will slowly tell.
Ouija, screams out of the dark
Ouija, who wants to speak with you?
Ouija, they try to contact you
Take care not to get obsessed with ghosts
Not afraid it can be a friendly or an evil
ghost, depending on who will answer us.
Asking questions who is there and find out
what it wants yelling from the dark the characters.
Don’t forget to say goodbye to end the
call, like you do then using a phone.
Believe it or not for some it’s just a silly game
but others can get mad run into fear.
Ouija, screams out of the dark
Ouija, who wants to speak with you?
Ouija, they try to contact you
Take care not to get obsessed with ghosts
Ouija, screams out of the dark
Ouija, who wants to speak with you?
Ouija, they try to contact you
Take care not to get obsessed with ghosts
Watch out - ghosts talking to you! Watch out - don’t get obsessed!

Get Up And Rock !
04:34
|
|||
Easy life with Beer, TV,
snacks and lying on the couch.
Watching news and stupid soaps,
the evenings run so smooth.
But better move your ass and plug
the guitar into an amp.
Play hard the riffs of Rock and Roll
and heat the amp to max.
Get up and move your ass,
it’s time for Rock and Roll.
Get up and move your ass,
it’s time for Rock and Roll.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Writing the notes and thinking
about lyrics is better than TV.
It feels more good to be active
than to feed the brain with shows.
One more chord the song is ready
to be practiced as a whole.
Playing hard is a good passion,
creating new songs not a pain.
Get up and move your ass,
it’s time for Rock and Roll.
Get up and move your ass,
it’s time for Rock and Roll.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Get up and move your ass,
it’s time for Rock and Roll.
Get up and move your ass,
it’s time for Rock and Roll.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

Jammed Again

The old house in the long road
right-hand side very close, to the street stands there
since Eighteen Eighty Two. Red bricks on the front
and sand stone surrounding the windows.
Mystic faces watching you from front and right
a few meters high. Ivy plants on the left side
do not allow looking inside. On top a slate roof
with dormers and battlements made of steel.
The haunted House of Rock is down,
Broken to the ground.
The haunted House of Rock is down,
History is gone -
The Ghosts are on the run.
Lots of generations have lived there and decades
of history went through, true life was in.
But solidly built it stands there now with ghosts inside the rooms.
Its time is over and new uses activate the
wrecking ball. Soon the red bricks fallen down -
walls will come to the ground. No more mystic
faces there, ghosts are on the run. Left behind a
big empty space, protests did not succeed.
One more piece of the town is gone.
The haunted House of Rock is down,
Broken to the ground.
The haunted House of Rock is down,
History is gone -
The Ghosts are on the run.
The haunted House of Rock is down,
Broken to the ground.
The haunted House of Rock is down,
History is gone -
The Ghosts are on the run.

Hair gets grey, body losing the shape
but deep inside a burning heart.
A burning heart which beats in sync
with hard beats of rock and roll.
Playing this stuff is not for fools,
playing this stuff is always cool.
Never too old playing Rock and Roll
Ever too young to stop
Never too old playing Rock and Roll
Ever too young to stop
Ever too young to stop
Forget your age, take the guitar
and turn the gain full up to ten.
Raise the fist towards the sky –
let’s play and kick ass them who laugh.
Playing hard is not for fools,
playing hard is always cool.
Never too old playing Rock and Roll
Ever too young to stop
Never too old playing Rock and Roll
Ever too young to stop
Ever too young to stop
Respect for the men playing live on stage
It’s not a question about the age.
It’s the feeling playing Rock and Roll
which keeps us young - not feeling old.
Playing live is not for fools,
playing live is always cool.
Never too old playing Rock and Roll
Ever too young to stop
Never too old playing Rock and Roll
Ever too young to stop
Ever too young to stop

Time For Despots
04:08
|
|||
Day after day we hear bad news
all over the world. Dying people,
war and hunger – millions on the run.
But the heads are similar to the ones
known from the past.
They brought war, fire and pain
over most of the human race.
Time for Despots
Looks like an easy game for them
or looks like lessons not being learned
- from world’s history
No Double-O-Seven is doing his Job
whatever he would do, no changes
coming soon.
Time for Despots
Ignorance, pride and arrogance
a new, old style of many heads.
Influence people to follow them
too blind to see the truth.
Running faster, faster, faster
into directions of total disaster
for them, the country and the world.
Time for Despots
Looks like an easy game for them
or looks like lessons not being learned
- from world’s history
No Double-O-Seven is doing his Job
whatever he would do, no changes
coming soon.

Big Star
05:02

Hey Big Star – how far
away are you to live your life
in real or just on stage
then thousands yell your name?
Do you know the real life
or do you live in a bubble surrounded by people
who help you avoid any trouble, which
could happen to you?
Do you know the answer to this?
Bright lights on stage
you rock the hall tonight
Rock ‘n’ Roll machine
but alone then the lights go down
Do you believe in god,
goods, money, your fans,
politicians – or just in yourself?
What’s your spirituality?
Some say it’s just a part
of your brain that is - like
a box with cakes – filled with things
you believe in - so what is inside
this part of your brain?
Does it help to keep your feet
on the ground?
Bright lights on stage
you rock the hall tonight
Rock ‘n’ Roll machine
but alone then the lights go down
Bright lights on stage
you rock the hall tonight
Rock ‘n’ Roll machine
but alone then the lights go down

Winter Blues
05:11
|
|||
Every year it starts mostly
with grey skies and less sun.
Festive days are over and
the boring time starts.
And if you don’t like carnival,
the first three months are a big low
until the spring is coming
most depressive times.
Days are grey,
less sun, much darkness -
Winter days are here.
No blue sky – it’s just depressing
grey – good time to leave
the land.
The winter blues has got me.
Good news then it’s over
the grey and cold days are gone.
The sun comes back, blue sky does too
and birds start singing loud.
Depressive time is over,
the year begins to start.
The winter blues is history and
returns after nine months, so let’s enjoy the time.
Days are grey,
less sun, much darkness -
Winter days are here.
No blue sky – it’s just depressing
grey – good time to leave
the land.
The winter blues has got me.
Days were grey,
we had less sun,
much darkness - Winter days.
No blue sky it was depressing grey.
The winter blues had me.
The winter blues had me.

Summer '84
04:33
|
|||
Great summer of ‘84 when
crazy guys played funny songs.
Lemmy - Ace of Spades
and raised his Iron Fist.
Then Ronnie sang 'We Rock' and we
ran to the Hills - high jumps to one of
Halen’s biggest number one.
Summer of ‘84 - Music, School,
holidays in France, tropic nights, hot days -
last time it was cool.
Summer of ‘84 - Music, School,
holidays in France - last time it was cool
before life and things have changed.
Then one year later youth was over
and I smell the sweat of working hard.
New plan for the days,
no longer do what you like
whenever you want to do.
But after work I still hear the songs
of great summer of ‘84.
Still hearing 'till today.
Summer of ‘84 - Music, School,
holidays in France, tropic nights, hot days -
last time it was cool.
Summer of ‘84 - Music, School,
holidays in France - last time it was cool
before life and things have changed.
Summer of ‘84 - Music, School,

holidays in France - last time it was cool
before life and things have changed.
