So Crazy
03:27

When we turn on the news on tv
We only see these lying creatures
Scaring us, telling us quite the opposite
Of what we really see
If you still think that it's true
That the world they project is real
You need to come to your senses
You have to re-awaken
We've been vast asleep
We've been docile like a bunch of sheep
Do we really conceive
What they've been doing to us
I do see you still won't believe me
It's so "crazy", you see

Rebel Inside And Out
03:17
|

The way to control
The way for them to go
Is to ridicule the ones that are free
The slaves feel better
Surrounded by their own breed
They will try to silence
The rebel inside and out
I tried to please you
And it worked for a while
But the danger is luring around the corner
So you feel a need
To silence me before I speak
But it ain't gonna work
You just can't stand what I'm saying
You want to go on
Like you always have done
But you can't stop the world from changing
You hold on to ice that is melting away
You hold on, but everything is changing
I won't try to warn you anymore
You can do it your own way
I won't try to deal with you not anymore
I'll continue to go my own way
I don't mind the changes
In the way that I think
My perception has changed completely
Now I see how it works
I can easlily allow these changes
They will try to silence me
The rebel inside and out

Keeping Faith
03:26
|

I can hardly believe what is happening
The stone cold facts keep boggling my mind
It's hard to digest, it's upsetting
But I need to accept the things I find
It keeps on coming
It keeps me wondering
It keeps me waiting
For things to take a turn for the better
My head keeps spinning
What am I thinking
What can I do
All I need to do is keep on going
I can hardly believe what I'm learning
How can anybody be so cruel
It's a matter of keeping faith
See the beauty and goodness close around me

Take Back Responsibility
03:25
|
|||

Time will work in our advantage
Even fools will see the truth in the end
Life won't ever be the same again
After the dust will have settled down
So tell me my friend
Will you still be around
When time gets tough
And the road gets rough
Can you change your mind
Can you leave behind
The garbage that you held on to so dearly
The people you trust
Whom you follow blindly
They have sold their souls
For some fame and money
You gave away your life so lightly
Believed what they say
As if they are mighty
It is time to take back the responsibility
You need to see the reality
It will set you free

See It For Yourself
02:54
|
|||
|
You can't take it in
Refuse to see
You hold on to what you believe
You don't see the signs
That the world you know is collapsing
You took the bait
For all these years
You hold on to it like a tiger
You don't see the lies
You just can't believe how bad it is
We need to deal with the consequences
We need to realize our true potential
We need to change the old way of thinking/living
I told you so
You just couldn't believe me
Now you know
What a fool you've been
I told you so
Not that it matters
You need to see
See it for yourself
I can't deny
It's taking some time
More than I could foresee
Despite the signs
All over the place

All On My Own
03:02
|

Way back in time
When I was a boy
I was sent away
Felt so lost and lonely
Far away, no friends around
All on my own
Nobody knew the pain that I felt
Nobody saw who I really am
No friends who could understand
No parents who could comfort me
Far away from the world I knew
Far away from my true destiny
Way back in time
Yet still so nearby
I was taken away
Can’t forget that day
Far away, no friends of mine
All on my own
Nobody knows the pain I still feel
Nobody sees who I really am
No friends who will understand
It’s a hard ordeal
Now it’s all over
But I still feel the pain
It has changed me, made me who I am

Better Times Ahead
05:18
|

How much nonsense will you still take
How much mistakes will you still make
All this confusion is clouding your mind
You left your common sense way behind
You better make a choice, so what do you want
Do you trust what you've been told
So fair enough
It's up to you, you decide, what do you want
Have you had enough, can you be your own boss
Can you see better times ahead
Can you create some space in your head
Can you regain the power you once had

We Will Unite Again
03:43
|
|||
|
If we always would take things for granted
There's not a lot that we can do
We would owe it to ourselves
That somebody else will tell us what to do
You kind of agree to what they ask you
You think they mean it all well
But if you'd pay some close attention
You would see what I see too
As long as you comply to their system
They treat you like a friend
But the moment you try to resist them
They will force your hand
You'll lose everything that you have
They'll make you begging for mercy
So you better keep under their radar
Keep your findings to yourself
But now the time has come
That everybody can see the dirty games they play
The time has come
When everybody will unite again
It ain't a silly game
They will fight until the end
They won't mind to finish us all of
(2x)

Xmas Is So Far Away
04:48

Peace seems so far away
The world is in such a turmoil
We have to take it day by day
Do the best that we can
So every time I think about you
I'm feeling sad straight away
There's not a lot that I can do
You are so far away
Strolling along
Dashing through the snow
Jingle bells all the day
Troubles seem so far away
Every now and then I'm hoping
That I will see you again
Meanwhile I am waiting
For Xmas to soothe the pain
I will always remember
Us sitting by the tree
Gazing in the fire
You telling jokes to me
Xmas songs on the radio
Happily singing along
It just can't last forever
It's a fading memory
Every time I think about you
I'm feeling sad straight away
There's not a lot that I can do
That Xmas is so far away
