1. Chrome Dome

Sweet lips often spoke to me
Do you know how people fly?
From that day forth something changed
Don't ask me how it was arranged
My family preyed for heaven's sake
Too late... Drowning in a lake
At the edge of madness you can meet me there

Our house stands open for everyone, all night all day
Chrome dome is what they call it
You can get in but never get away, until it's over for you

Things seems so far and lost
Nothing holds me from my glory
They said I'd never understand
The only thing that keeps me warm
My leather jacket in my closet
I don't need it anymore

Our house stands open for everyone, all night all day
Chrome dome is what they call it
You can get in but never get away, until it's over for you

Please understand, don't wanna lead a vegetable life
Let me go, I'm the man with human wings
You'll see, one day I'll fly, and when I do I'll kiss the sky
You'll see, one day I'll die, and when I do
And when I die, and when I go
I wanna be cremated
So my soul can breathe the air, can stop living in despair

Faces I vaguely recognize
Complete strangers observe me
Now their doctors enter my privacy
They grab my arm and push me down
I keep on trying
Things can't go wrong now
I keep on trying
Sweet sweet dreams

Through the windowpane
I watch the birds play
I'd like to join them but my wings are weak
Living in a mad world

Our house stands open for everyone, all night all day
Chrome dome is what they call it
You can get in but never get away, until it's over for you

2. Repetition

Earth's candle slowly kindles
Has no time to slumber
Spins around, under sun control
One day nature will show of what it's capable
The long distance boomerang is thrown away
Who cares in what our children play?

Burn, burn, we should have known
Learn, learned to control

One Two Three Four Turn in Circles

Repetition: Why don't we realize?
Repetition: We live, the die
Repetition: Regenerate the chain
Repetition: And I wonder where we go?

One One Seventy Five Two
Do You eat out of my hand?

Repetition: Why don't we realize?
Repetition: We live, the die
Repetition: Regenerate the chain
Repetition: And I wonder where we go?

Are you ready
Are you ready to leave
God's ready
I'm ready to leave
To leave the sphere
To leave the sphere

3. Stigmatized For Life

Spiders weaving in my brain, get out
Somebody take these webs away, right now

Paradise shines so bright for those living in the dark
Appearances are deceptive, skin pure, but inside it rots

Parental confidence makes it so real
Hate made by hate, annihilation, communicate
You could not communicate as a normal human being
Your attitude proves you're hanging on a string

Paradise shines so bright for those living in the dark
Appearances are deceptive, skin pure, but inside it rots

Spider Webs
Stigmatized for live
I saw regret, and I saw it on your face
And I saw regret, but it was too late

Spider Webs
Stigmatized for live
I saw regret, and I saw it on your face
And I saw regret, but it was too late

Pictures recall, his parish life to me
Pictures recall life, parish mind's decree
Brains to remind, nevermind from where that will be
Brains do remind and some things stay and grow. Yeah...

... And when you call my name
Don't wanna hear, pretend I'm dead or somewhere else
And I want to run but
I'm not ready to walk
To walk
Don't do this to me

4. America

I was born to conquer
Pushed by the wind and sea
Permission by the kingdom of Spain
Opened soiled doorways to my liberty
And as we sailed we roamed
We were lost and desperate
Until a loud scream from the crow's nest gave us hope

Burst of joy
Reconnaissance
Discovery of an unknown land: America

And I made the first steps
The beginning of a newborn world
I represent the catholic church
Those who preach: "You will not hurt"
And the Holy Book in one hand
In the other a sword
We have to teach those savages a lesson
Remission of sins

Let's go too
Heresy
Straight on to the promised land: America

We came to stay, 1492, was the year it all began
Kill, rape, yes, he wanted 'em all killed and raped
Barbarian It's to show who's
In command and makes the rules
Irresistible slaughter and indulge in dissipation
And he didn't give a damn about them
A hero was born

Solemn is his name within
Solemn in pose
History books offend me
They don't tell

My name is Columbus
I need your scalps
Finally growling and shaking
Get it out
Bleed scream
Bleed for me
Root'em out, weed'em out
Eradicate'em from my land

5. Play a Little

Objection of the rules, God is so selective
Who says it's time to take, who decides when it's time to give
One thing's straight for me
Don't judge a case without knowing the game
Take a stand for yourself
Don't start fighting for another one's health

Suffer with
Suffer within
Suffer with
Pick on it
Information broadcast
The only matter is, to deal with
Suffer with
Do you admit
Sensational involvement
Actually it's none of your business
And when you think
Don't think too much
And about all your meaning I don't even care
Just play,
Play a little song for me
Play a little song for me

Reflection about facts is not bad when you trace a line
Experiments sound cruel
Decisions rest on the family will

Suffer with
Suffer within
Suffer with
Pick on it
Information broadcast
The only matter is, to deal with
Suffer with
Do you admit
Sensational involvement
Actually it's none of your business
And when you think
Don't think too much
And about all your meaning I don't even care
Just play,
Play a little song for me
Play a little song for me

I need affection and body warmth
Growing artificially
Fed by, Fed by machines

Desoriented, Driven off course
Which way is positive
Why can't they let me go

Suffer with
Just play another song for
Suffer within
For whom?
For me!

6. Gold

The very first time that I saw you
Caressed my mind, attracted my view
It happened in the attic of a friend's party
I stood on the side of the uninitiated
All the others say you really make it
I passed the edge and got myself loaded with gold
Turns me so cold

Prays of gold shine through the rivers of my blood
I touch your skin and you get me fixed up

I'm the tear-away of the neighbourhood, I steal, I infest
I'm hunting for your beauty that separates you from the rest
I admit my addiction, in spite of a code
The season is open and I need to score
I'm after spring tide like a fish on the shore
I crack for the needle that puts me in the mood
With gold
Makes me so cold inside

Prays of gold shine through the rivers of my blood
I touch your skin and you get me fixed up

Panoramic sight sitting in a chair
On top of a mountain making love with the air
Big white whales pass me by
Give me some time to consider

Don't leave 'cos I feel so good
Food for graves, that's for sure
Don't leave, I start feeling cold
You got another thing coming

I crawl on my knees in search for your smell
I want you on top of me, you treat me so well
Got no time to waste and loads of things to taste
Over-dose

7. Testimony

Squeeze 'em
Testimony
Squeeze

Three men came masked in black
Activated a negative feedback
They didn't come to do some shopping
Everything was there except cameras turning
Then multiple shots made holes and bodies
Panic in the hearts of those who were still alive
Piece by piece they were dead
caused by a cut-off riotgun in their heads

Squeeze 'em
Testimony
Squeeze

Seek for goals? Don't ask me why
It ain't money, so fuck their alibi
National security backed the mup
It's a matter of confidence, what's a bad cop
Do you understand just what it means
To put your lives in the hands of a double-crossed team
We have the right to remain silent
And what do we get?
Disorder and violence!

Power is all you need to attack a strong backbone
Power is all you need to attack a strong backbone
Power is all you need to attack a strong backbone
And if you're in the backbone, change your heart into a big red stone

17 November '83 they became Belgium's
Public enemy number one, and they shot
my son, my only one, that's what I know !?!
I remember that day as if it was yesterday
They drove a Golf, a Volkswagen Golf
That had been stolen in Brussels
And beaten up like a Jackal wolf

I can still hear the words that fucking bastard shouted
NO ONE LEAVES HERE

Squeeze 'em
Testimony
Squeeze

Justice, a cool word
Our lives have been disturbed
The question is, who runs the biz?
It's corruptive
Rotten to the core
Guilty as charged
But never proven

And the culprit still breathes the air of freedom

8. Unleash the Dog

Explore to explain
Is it the moon of the acid in the rain?
Like a thousand maniacs running through my bones and brain
Magnetic experience
Maybe a gift of inheritance
It comes and disappears, on a baseless proof

Unleash the dog in you
Unleash the dog in you

Keep the presence of your mind
No panic symptoms, are hard to find
The lock's possessed by you, seek and strike for the key
Submit and be guided
Jump in the cartridge, go and ride it
Shoot yourself away as a heart-beating bullet

Unleash the dog in you
Unleash the dog

I feel the dog come alive
Do you feel the dog inside
I can't help it, it's in me
It pumps me up instinctively
And I feel the urge, the dog's alive tonight
Yes I feel, it's the urge, don't deny it

That's the way it is
I can't deny
It's in the nature of the beast
Animal nature, it's my nature
nature

Cover the beast in me
And if you look you'll never see me
I'm the one who's allways there
but where?

9. Big Now

Nowadays people have to be confronted
Visually, before they start worrying
About the problems which they refuse to see
As non-existent or overrated newspaper announcements
How many kids aged around 14 know what a condom looks like
Desire scores higher rates than self-protection
I share, this idea must tell, that aids has to be taken
Out of the silence in which it sneaks

Look at you
You're big now
Adolescence conflict
You're big now

Spring time, roll the drums
Their new shoes are ready for the first steps
middle finger in the air
They don't care what's wrong on this big ball
One thing we seem to forget
Were we better in our teens? No!!

You're big now

So we fall and stand up for the struggle of life
We learn the law of body communication
We don't know how to react
And tell me, who did? When they where doing it for the first time

Then be careful where you go
This disease is searching for victims
This brand-new pesticide
is already reigning outrageous
So be, be aware
Play it safe and forsee addiction
You can make love, not war
Don't let it come that far
That Aids is the one who's outliving

Expectations of a certain lifestyle
Do you agree when decisions are taken for you
Married, children, tradition, prove you're big now
Married, children, tradition, and how do you feel now?
So tell me, how do you feel

So we fall and stand up for the struggle of life
We learn the law of body communication
We don't know how to react
And tell me, who did? When they where doing it for the first time

Look at you
You're big now
Adolescence conflict
You're big now
