i was bound to be the day that i was born bound to be that son of someones son i hear the sound of wings above my head-is it destiny i don’t know it’s way above my head
the river is more than the water and sludge it cuts through the town like a knife the border is real although noone can see i’ll carry it all through my life all through my life
i am living on the wrong side of town we are living for the days that are yet to come but when i look back on my kind it just seems like there’s a million, there’s a million to one living on the wrong side of town
just like you i need to feel complete but i can’t afford to be discreet find myself in the thick of it this is my existence i just can’t escape the cobwebs of my streets
left bank or right bank the soil is the same when will the river run dry it’s more than a busride from your street to mine `cause trust is so hard to come by it’s such a hard thing to come by
seems like i’m living on the wrong side of town we are living for the days that are yet to come but when i look back on my kind it just seems like there’s a million, there’s a million to one living on the wrong side -oh yes
i am living, yes i’m living on the wrong side of town we are living for the days that are yet to come but when i look back, when i look back on my kind it just seems like there’s a million, there’s a million to one
i was bound to be the day that i was born i was bound to be that son of someones son i hear the sound of wings above my head i don’t know it’s way above my head
walking down the alley by the hotel aviv i see the human wreckage - dying while they live deep down by the sewer, where the lights are scarlet red the children make their livings, sweatin’in a creaky bed
lights are red your eyes are black and blue the heroes of the heroin, gonna make a slave of you is gonna make a slave of you in the red light district, you gotta look around in the red light district, that’s their only place in town red light district, you gotta look around in the red light district, that’s their only place in town
crawling from the suburbs, respectable indeed the cannibal spends his money, discretions guaranteed the crack of the whip, his paid submission trip will see him through his daytime with a smile upon his lips
lights are red your eyes are black and blue the heroes of the heroin, gonna make a slave of you is gonna make a slave of you
in the red light district…
don’t you go down , deep down by the sewer where the lights are scarlet red it makes me really wonder why they call it making love this trade of flesh and misery, is it a gift from up above cracks down on the pavement, matching cracks upon the walls the shadows by the bedside, those children see it all
in the red light district…don’t you go down
deep down by the sewer, where the lights are scarlet red the children make their livings sweating in a creaky bed cause it makes me really wonder why they call it makin love this trade of flesh and misery- is it a gift from up above
you know deep down by the sewer, where the lights are scarlet red
born out in the east end on the mean side of the town raised in an alley but it didn’t get me down i was looking for a way out so weary of the fight waiting for somebody that could help me find the light

Gonna plan my getaway (They’re gonna find you) Give up with my connection Making my move in the light of day (They’re gonna get you) I don’t need no protection
My secret is my saviour my divine intervention Rollin’ sevens every time I throw the dice I’m a hero I’m a legend but it wasn’t my intention I got an angel on my side…
Somebody up there likes me Somebody up there cares about me Somebody up there likes me Somebody’s watchin’ over me..
And I know when it’s goin’ down (They’re gonna find you) I got a talent for detection Ain’t nobody gonna make a sound (They’re right behind you) They’re just to scared to mention it
A little bird will sing to keep away from the cages When the song is over he will fly When he hits the ground all my felines are waiting There won’t be a feather left behind, I hope that
Somebody…
Somewhere on the ground lives a million paperdevils Waitin’ for my spirit to arrive Somewhere in the middle of another perfect mission I feel a bullet in my side… I hope that - Somebody up there likes me
I play the fool I caused some heartache Cause I did not see the meaning of it all I hide my feelings that’s really my way Still I hope that u will love me even though
Would u dare to take a chance on me even if I stumble And then even maybe catch me when I fall Will u try to see the best in me Even if I fumble Would u dare to give me unconditional love
A Romeo without his Juliette The emptiness surrounds me even more I really want to - try to make u come my way - but this foolish pride is stronger than my love..
Would u dare to take a chance on me even if I stumble And then even maybe catch me when I fall Will u try to see the best in me Even when I fumble Would u dare to give me unconditional love
Would u dare to take a chance on me even if I stumble And then even maybe catch me when I fall Will u try to see the best in me Even if I fumble Will u dare to give me unconditional love -unconditional love
Would u dare to take a chance on me And then even maybe catch me Will u try to see the best in me Would u dare to give me unconditional love
like a Romeo without his Juliette this foolish pride is stronger than my love
Burnin lootin rapin shootin I was burnin lootin rapin and shootin Burnin lootin rapin shootin I was Burnin lootin rapin and shootin
All this I do baby I kill for you I am a Warrior I am a Warrior of Genghis Kahn Cause I am a Warrior , I am a warrior, I am a Warrior , a Warrior of Genghis Kahn

I used to be so easy to take for a ride No thought of tomorrow tonight is the the night How could I really think that love was such an easy game Before it’s too late it’s gon’on again
And now I have to put my love to shame I’m over the edge darlin’ still here I stand
Will you ever be here by my side When the heartache is over no chance to hide away my pride ‘Cause now that you’re gone a shadow is all that you left behind a shadow in my heart
With every beat my heart is growin’ oh so cold A lifetime without you how can I go on I just can’t fight the thought of what you mean to me Don’t let this love end a brief memory
And now I have to live and take the blame I’m over the edge darlin’ still here I stand
Will you ever be here by my side When the heartache is over no chance to hide away my pride ‘Cause now that you’re gone a shadow is all that you left behind a shadow in my heart
I’m dreamin’ dreams in all colors still it drives me mad I’m dreamin’ dreams of tomorrow - Will you ever come back, will you ever come back Will the hurt that I’m feelin’ ever go away with time
Will you ever come back in my life Will the hurt that I’m feelin’ ever go away with time ‘Cause now that you’re gone a shadow is all When the heartache is over a shadow is that you left behind a shadow in my heart
I’ve got a bad reputation I’m an outlaw in the making I’m the cause of your pleasure , the hell that you’re takin’ I’m the heat that you feel and I’ll burn you with my fire yes I’m the heaven that you’re seeking if you wanna take it higher

At the end of the alley he was looking for a place to run ‘Cause there is no escape ahead when the danger comes
Heading for disaster he ain’t got much time to spare Bold enough to risk and still be brave enough to dare Caught up in this violent frenzy got him catching hell Innocence is cut and bleed then hung out to fail
And then the battle starts to change You know it drives a man insane
Trooper- heading for reality startrooper so lost in his fantasy the trooper ours is the life he saves the trooper No time left to be afraid
On a mission of payback fighting hard to get back home ‘See the enemy they missed him and it cost them for the wrong
Born with life up in his face he’s ready for the fight Response is ruthless really it’s a question of his life Universal soldier in a world of fear and pain won’t back off until the ashes scatter on the flame
And then the battle starts to change You know it drives a man insane
Starship trooper many roads to victory star trooper choosing his own destiny the trooper in a blaze of glory starship trooper hero in this story He always on the run They say it can’t be done Still he’s on the run Tryin’ to break the chains of fear and pain Still he fights even if it’s bound to drive him insane
Rides across the heaven in a chariot of fire Lifted beyond conflict and then taken so much higher Universal soldier in a world of fear and pain won’t back off until the ashes scatter on the flame
and then the battle starts to change you know it drives a man insane
Trooper break the chains and set us free startrooper he won’t back off ’till job’s complete the trooper keeping us protected starship trooper circumstance selected
break the chains set them free still he fights break the chains set them free still he fights break the chains still he fights
Thrown into a madness from a living hell And you never saw it coming though you knew it well Nowhere to find shelter lost in nowhere land And with every step you take your fate is at your hand
And you’re trapped in this place beyond your wildest dreams Hold on stop yourself from sliding back in misery And you’re back in this place beyond your wildest dreams Hell and back you can’t get through it clean
Screamin’ in the silence hearin’ colors rage the world is wrong and you are here stuck in the haze Lost inside a darkness every hope undone But you’re hopin’ you will wake up and the day will come
And you’re trapped in this place beyond your wildest dreams Hold on stop yourself from sliding back in misery And you’re back in this place beyond your wildest dreams Hell and back you can’t get through it clean
Lost in twilight another nightmare turning real All inside of you and me Shades of daylight traces of reality Will I find the secret key- it’s inside of you -and me it’s all inside of you -and me
trapped in this place beyond your wildest dreams Hold on stop yourself from sliding back in misery And you’re back in this place beyond your wildest dreams Hell and back you can’t get through it clean-
you can’t get through it clean in this place beyond your wildest dreams Hang on for your life and grab the thing you need to keep Attack in this place beyond your wildest dreams Hell and back you can’t get through it clean you can’t get through it clean
This is an instrumental, so there are no lyrics. But here’s the story behind the track:
On August 26th in the year 1612 an army of 300 Scottish mercenaries marched into what was to be their certain death.
Enlisted by the Swedish King Gustav in the war against Denmark-Norway they were on their way to Sweden through Norway. Having landed on the western coast a few days earlier they had marched across the mountains and were on their way down a valley called Gudbrandsdalen.
Stricken by fear, the local peasants had gathered a militia of 500 men. Armed only with axes, spears and simple weapons, they knew they couldn’t fight professional soldiers in open battle. Hence they decided to ambush the Scotsmen at a place called Kringen. Legend tells that the Norsemen played a trick upon the Scots, having posted a fair maiden with a horn on the opposite side of the valley. From her position across the river she saw the approaching troops and began to play her horn. The Scotsmen marched straight into the trap.
Having carefully laid out their tactics, the Norwegian peasants managed to fight down the Scottish soldiers. Over 150 men where killed. The rest was imprisoned in a barn, and the Norwegians where celebrating their victory. The day after the battle the rest of the soldiers, except officers, were executed. The reason for this was as simple as it was grim. Being a critical time in the harvesting season, none of the peasants could afford to escort the prisoners the 300 km to Christiania. Death of the common man is the rule in warfare - not the exception.
Leaving only 18 enemies alive, the incident later was named “The battle of Kringen”. The girl with the horn was called “Prillar Guri” and legend grew as time passed by. Being a vessel state under Denmark, and later Sweden, Norway at this time had no army of its own. Among many historians “The battle of Kringen” therefore represents the foundation of the modern, independent Norwegian army. Not a glorious start. But has war ever been?
just a steel town girl on a Saturday night looking for the fight of her life in the real time world no one sees her at all they all say she’s crazy locking rhythms to the beat of her heart changing movement into light she has danced into the danger zone when the dancer becomes the dance
it can cut you like a knife if the gift becomes the fire on the wire between will and what will be
she’ a maniac maniac on the floor and she’s dancing like she’s never danced before
on the ice blue line of insanity is a place most never see it’s a hard won place of mystery touch it but can’t hold it you work all your life for that moment in time it can come or pass you by it’s a push shove world but there’s always a chance if the hunger stays the night
there’s a cold kinetic heat struggling stretching for the peak never stopping with her head against the wind
she’s a maniac maniac at your door and she’s dancing like she’s never danced before
it can cut you like a knife if the gift becomes the fire on the wire between will and what will be
maniac maniac on the floor and she’s dancing like she’s never danced before -she crossed the line
she’s a maniac maniac a ride into the danger zone and she’s dancing like she’s never danced before
she’s a maniac maniac this whole charade has gone too far a she’s dancing like she’s never danced before
she’s a maniac maniac she’s a fire on the dancin’ floor and she’s dancing like she’s never danced
she’s just a steel town girl on a Saturday night it can cut you like a knife- crazy
how will I ever find my way I’m trapped in this maze unchanging day by day heartache and hurt just kills my pride something so precious to me won’t survive yes even though I try
I shed my silent tear I couldn’t help it ’cause it’s over but still I have this fear inside my heart it’s growing colder
crawlin’ a long and winding road nobody here to share this heavy load seems like a hundred years of rain though never enough to wash my sins and pain the song remains the same
I shed my silent tear I couldn’t help it ’cause it’s over but still I have this fear inside my heart it’s growing colder I shed my silent tear I really thought that it was over cause inside I have this fear deep inside my heart it’s growing colder it’s growing colder
it’s deep inside I’m trapped in this maze unchanging day by day
is there no way out in this place no doubt about it silence’s screaming loud in this storm I’m twrown about my heart is still in doubt
I shed my silent tear I couldn’t help it ’cause it’s over but still I have this fear deep inside my heart it’s growing colder
I shed my silent tear I really thought that it was over inside I have this fear inside my heart it’s growing colder
inside my heart noone here to share this heavy load a hundred years of rain
