Rage In Eden

The Voice (deutsch) Native these words seem to me All speech directed to me I've heard them once before I know that feeling Stranger emotions in the mind Changing the contours I find I've seen them once before Someone cries to me Chorus: Oh Oh Oh Oh The look and the sound of the voice Oh Oh Oh Oh They try, they try Oh Oh Oh Oh The shape and the power of the voice Oh Oh Oh Oh In strong low tones Forceful and twisting again Wasting the perfect remains I've felt it once before Slipping over me (Chorus) Sweetly the voices decay Draw on the lines that they say I'd lost it once before Now it cries to me (Chorus)     We stand Alone The words played on around our heads Perhaps we went too far We'll soldier on until the end again This clutching hand around my hand So pitiful and frail Makes bleeding hearts begin to beat again Chorus: We stand in a different light That's cast upon this gigolo and gigolette We stand with a different frame around us now But when we talk we talk in time We shine with profiles so strong and so clear And when we move we move in time Won't fade like pictures that come back again Your propaganda touched my soul Those thin and cherished words A willing victim for the kill again (Repeat Chorus 2 times)     Rage in Eden We sit and watch these lifeless forms Stark and petrified The high suspense of an empty stage drawing in clutching to its breast With murmured words we sigh and focus on the main facade Beyond the hard reluctant windows News from magazines We wrote their names on books we'd borrowed as if to bring us closer still And threw it all away to focus on the main facade Rage in Eden jigsaw sequence But no-one could see the end And they were the new gods And they shone on high Their heavy perfume on the night sucked them down in red tide All is through the looking glass focus on the main facade Rage in Eden jigsaw sequence But no-one could see the end Disciples of the new way Portraits in the new sand See when they run their longest mile holding caps in wet hands Eyes upon them try to focus on the main facade Rage in Eden jigsaw sequence But no-one could see the end     I Remember (Death in the Afternoon) Chorus: We turned the dial, we heard the news and laughed, we don't know why We drank the wine and spoke of times we knew of days gone by We flicked through photographs we had, somehow they made us sad Remembering the times we used to have, it made us cry Oh I remember death in the afternoon A silence fell about the room with harsh and heavy calm The lovers and the friends all felt the same, it kept us warm We raised our glass and drank to times we had, but'd see no more The pictures of the past would haunt us still, and there remains Oh I remember death in the afternoon (Repeat chorus 2 times)     The thin Wall The sound is on the visions move The image dance starts once again They shuffle with a bovine grace and glide in syncopation Just living lines from books we've read With atmospheres of days gone by With paper smiles The screenplay calls a message for the nation Chorus: And those who sneer will fade and die And those who laugh will surely fall And those who know will always feel their backs against the thin wall The thin wall Thin wall Old men who speak of victory Shed light upon their stolen life They drive by night and act as if they're moved by unheard music To step in time and play the part With velvet voices smooth and cold Their power games a game no more And long the chance to use it (Chorus) And those who dance will spin and turn And those who wait will wait no more And those talk will hear the word And those who sneer will fade and die And those who laugh will surely fall And those who know will always feel their backs against the thin wall The thin wall Thin wall The thin wall (Repeat 3 times) And those who dance The thin wall And those who talk The thin wall And those who sneer The thin wall And those who laugh The thin wall And those who know The thin wall And those who dance The thin wall And those who wait The thin wall And those who talk (Fade)     Stranger Within HLight gets through a crack in the door I tape up the windows once more Tight like a cold hand of fear Don't fear the stranger within Hands that petrify in the air Eyes catching things never there Sweet tension caught on my breath Don't fear the stranger within Watch every shape that escapes Scared to make that final mistake Speak to hear the sound of your voice Don't fear the stranger within Sit in the corner with your back to the wall Pray to your God with your head in your hands Your mask of fear is shrinking fast It's closing in more amour You stand on borrowed time, your sweating palms and chilling brow That wide-eyed panic makes you laugh, you cry and laugh Freeze until the noise decays, a shuffle from behind a door Your throat is tight, it makes you choke and smoke and choke Eyes will grow accustomed to the dark, a stifled scream that won't come out There's nothing more to fear from the stranger within Don't fear the stranger within I feel the stranger within I see the stranger within Don't know the stranger within I am the stranger within I am the stranger within     Accent on Youth What is this phase that I am going through Oh these precious years Please take my hand and let me breathe again Young depressive tears We stumble blindly chasing something new and something sinful You take my time you live my life for me What have I done to rate this penalty You suck me dry My body cries We stumble blindly chasing instant thrills and lasting memories Accent on youth Attention Oh Ascends on you Oh Oh I scream with frustration and lost control Open for the blows My hands fall limp and hang down by my side Take my soul and go We stumble blindly chasing dancing lights and others' wishes (Chorus) Just let me close my eyes and slip away Dream a dream alone You give me just enough rope for the task Let this man alone We stumble blindly chasing silhouettes and vacant faces So well rehearsed our moves once so graceful turn against us We stalk dark passages, we're looking for that sweet surrender (Chorus)     Your Name (Has Slipped My Mind Again) Something stops me from seeing too clear A misty haze floats round the room The murmurs make it hard to hear The voices and the words The days seem to drag away My speech is sparse and tends to slur I wonder what happened to my friend to day Can't hear the words Chorus: O O Your name has slipped my mind again O O O O O O O Your name has slipped my mind again O O O O O It's hard to focus in this light I'm growing warm and feeling dull The heartbeat pounds with vicious fright There's something to remember I clench my fist but feel no sensation The walls around me spin and sway A flash back image in my vision I remember (Repeat chorus 3 times)     I Never Wanted to Begin Shadows cut our cloth that's stolen, Promises were broke, We wound our watch to stretch the time, In case that no-one got the joke. I never wanted to begin, Name that sin Name that sin. Dim and distant kisses chill, Before I catch my death, Etch every name upon the door, And note the ones who never rest. We never knew who we were then, Name that sin, Name that sin. Shattered captives climbing gates, To hold new lamps in vain, For my King's rowing over lakes, Connecting rooms in black sedan. They never wanted to get in, Name that sin, Name that sin. Evidence is stripped and torn, And hidden in the mines, The negatives have all been fogged and blurred, And just a thousand times, We never wanted to fall in, Name that sin, Name that sin. Name that sin, Name that sin, Name that sin, Name that sin, Name that sin.     Paths and Angels Visions of men never known Never seen, never heard, never shown Characters lying in wait Responsible figures of fate With memories and faces as long as their hate Paths and the angles of light Find their way into my eye Recorded and logged for a time Some living, some loving, some dying There are factors rearranged every time The phrases, the angles, so fine Sunken valleys and decades of crime Distant seasons A smile that was quoted as mine Paths and the angles of light Find their way into my eye Recorded and logged for a time Some living, some loving, some dying     The Voice Heimatlich scheinen diese Worte für mich Die ganze Rede richtete sich auf mich Ich hörte sie schon einmal zuvor Ich kenne dieses Gefühl Merkwürdigere Emotionen im Herzen Ändern die Umrisse, die ich vorfinde Ich sah sie schon einmal zuvor Jemand schreit mich an Ohohoho, der Aussehen und der Klang der Stimme Ohohoho, sie versuchen es, sie versuchen es Ohohoho, die Gestalt und die Kraft der Stimme Ohohoho, in starken, tiefen Tönen Wieder eindrucksvoll und verdrehend Verschwenden die vollständigen Reste Ich fühlte es schon einmal zuvor Auf mir ausrutschen Ohohoho, der Aussehen und der Klang der Stimme Ohohoho, sie versuchen es, sie versuchen es Ohohoho, die Gestalt und die Kraft der Stimme Ohohoho, in starken, tiefen Tönen (Stark...)
