INNER VISIONS LYRICS

1. A Sleep

[Instrumental]

2. Big Brother

Day by day, you build your self destruction
You are too addicted to react
He is your new way to education
Can't you now wake up and face the facts
Turn it off, switch it off
Look what is behind
Sitcoms and comedy
That's not reality
Illusions and fictions
Warp and shake your mind
It's a lobotomy
See the real world with me

You know that you are wasting your time
But this screen is hypnotizing you
You don't see that he's changing your mind
Big Brother's watching you
He's watching you

Earth is too heavy between your fingers
But you think you can control it all
Master the fight between saints and sinners
But your brain is washed with rock'n roll

Turn it off, switch it off
And open your eyes
It's driving you insane
Real life is not a game
Trust no one, it's no fun
Corruption and lies
There's nothing else but shame
And we are all to blame

You know that you are wasting your time
But this screen is hypnotizing you
You don't see that he's changing your mind
Big Brother's watching you
He's watching you

3. Behind The Grid

Walking through a town of blood and fire
Happy to be still alive
You remember how it was before
When the flowers grew up brighter
And the sun above your eyes
Was lighting the landscape you adore

Everything is now much darker
Evil has stolen colours of life
Keep yours in your mind, be stronger
While you see what husbands do to their wives
Behind the grid, how can you just fight?

You loved him but now your life is over
There is nothing to regret
Til you recover the right of speech
They have killed all of your sisters
It is too late to forget
Don't think of a joy you'll never reach

Feel the wind of freedom blow now
Time to revolt has rung, follow the light
The dove will dismiss the crow
Keep on singing cos you know you are right
Behind the grid, lift your fist and fight

Behind the grid, you can fight
Lift your fist up high

4. Eliminate

Congratulations, you've joined us to play (Alone versus all, be the best or crawl)
And your challengers know the price to pay (The blood has to flow, welcome to the show)
They all have recovered their primitive notions
You'll fall if you don't want to use the same weapons

The arena's ready to receive you (The shield and the sword speak more than the words)
All the spectators are waiting for you (They're chanting your name, you are in the game)
The law of the strongest is the best forever
There's no winner, there're only losers
There's no rule to recall
It's the fight for your life against all

You're the next they want to eliminate
They've chosen that you're the one
There's no destiny, there's no fate
Their law is stronger than the gun
You won't find anyone to get his trust
We're all aggressive and wild
No compassion for the weakest of us
No time to lose, your only alternative is to die

Gladiators of the new millennium (Don't lead into greed, it's not what you need)
Don't know where the danger is coming from (Evil is inside, he knows how to hide)
No friend in the jungle of money and power
The same ones help and crash your shoulders
The game sometimes is for real
The new economic world can kill

You're the next they want to eliminate
They've chosen that you're the one
There's no destiny, there's no fate
Their law is stronger than the gun
You won't find anyone to get his trust
We're all aggressive and wild
No compassion for the weakest of us
No time to lose, your only alternative is to die

The law of the strongest is the best forever
There's no winner, there're only losers
There's no rule to recall
It's the fight for your life against all

You're the next they want to eliminate

5. In The Name Of...

So you say the road to the promised land's longer
We need to climb high mountains after having crossed deserts of sand
We now play a game for which we're not the masters
Borderlines are far away, will we ever see our land again

Be not afraid of the night
Can you shout and scream from the dark to the light
For a world in motion
Why do we now feel ashamed
When we lift our fists up high out of the flames
(For) the pride of a nation
Now we follow
Hunt high and low
We won't deceive the spectators of the show

Here is the black, here is the red from the blood of my brothers
Sparkling under the sun
How will I live one more day with their faces into my brain
Here is the dark for the victims of hate and anger
Destroyed in the name of what
Power, greed or honour, our destiny remains the same

Wonderland, shall I ever knock your door one day
Dirty hands and stained faces have still no respite for pain

Be not afraid of the night
Can you shout and scream from the dark to the light
For a world in motion
Why do we now feel ashamed
When we lift our fists up high out of the flames
(For) the pride of a nation
Now we follow
Hunt high and low
We won't deceive the spectators of the show

Here is the black, here is the red from the blood of my brothers
Sparkling under the sun
How will I live one more day with their faces into my brain
Here is the dark for the victims of hate and anger
Destroyed in the name of what
Power, greed or honour, our destiny remains the same

6. Control The Past

So you are now the master of the world
(Where is your pedestal? Are you sure you can lead us all?)
The one who can defeat Evil
(Thank you to think of us, but you won't have our trust)
There're so many souls to purify
And so many others to hide
To free ourselves from chaos, we'll fight
As long as we are alive

You want to join the dark side of our lands
(But if you are alone, what is the power of your throne?)
Who can answer to your demand?
(Only peace can remain except for the insane)
You know the seeds of freedom need sun
Spray them with water and not with poison
Cathodic tubes can fight the brains
Spirits of freedom remain

Do our lives exist anywhere
Else than inside our minds
Cause the sound of thunder
Disappear behind the lights
You are now close to control the past
With our words and mem'ries, you win at a single cast

Who are the persuaders you employ
(Conspiration of war, but we don't want it anymore)
They used to battle and destroy
(All fed with flesh and blood, hidden under the mud)
We sit down and wait for a new lie
Pray God to have the strength to defy
The one who leads us to suicide
We'll keep our honour and pride

Do our lives exist anywhere
Else than inside our minds
Cause the sound of thunder
Disappear behind the lights
You are now close to control the past
With our words and mem'ries, you win at a single cast

7. Mage Of Nowhere

[Instrumental]

8. Wake Up With A Smile

One more night to lay down here
With my eyes watching the sky
Praying the day won't come
As long as time goes by
I'm looking through the infinite
Like the other nights, I cry
I choose a star for me
For you, the brighter one

If I prefer to take it not too far from mine
What will it change, my life is not yours
Give me the strength to believe that the sun will shine
Without reflecting your shadow above me through the clouds

I am still believing in yesterdays
As I believe in tomorrows
I revel in my happiness
And wallow in my sorrows
I cry in my sleep when my dreams are bad
Praying for some rest for a while
Though my nightmares make me feel sad
I'll wake up with a smile

I reinvent the history
That you wrote for a later time
As if for you and me
The present was a crime
I taste again tenderly
The pleasures of the night
Are you afraid of me
When I hold you so tight

Can you wait where the sea becomes an ocean
Can you forget a life of harm and pain
Let us unify ourselves once under the sun
Can we feel better if we join together again

I am still believing in yesterdays
As I believe in tomorrows
I revel in my happiness
And wallow in my sorrows
I cry in my sleep when my dreams are bad
Praying for some rest for a while
Though my nightmares make me feel sad
I'll wake up with a smile

9. The Prophecy

Defying the legacy of ancients
We have crossed the deserts and the seas
Leaded by the whispering of angels
We've found those who teach the prophecy

Build your own destiny
Be the only master of your life
And your enemy
Will fall at your feet and die

A new day is dawning
A new sun's raising up so high
To spread the healing
For your hearts and souls
A new time is coming
Follow me, don't close your eyes
The prophecy is giving
Peace and love for all

Listen to the voice of the messenger
We all have a long long time to save
The oracles will make ourselves wiser
They will help us all to be much brave

Under a brand new sky
We will find at last another day
Together we'll try
To follow a better way

A new day is dawning
A new sun's raising up so high
To spread the healing
For your hearts and souls
A new time is coming
Follow me, don't close your eyes
The prophecy is giving
Peace and love for all

10. When We'll Be Kings

Fire the lights, don't look back 'til you're here
Break out the winds that sweep away all the fears
Can't stop the tears that still bleed on the whole of us
Your eyes just know how to see the outside of us

Not the inside
Catch all my dreams if you can
I may be blind
I'll never get insane

(Oh, oh, oh, oh) From the road to heaven
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) Where life ends and begins
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) We'll know how to cross the oceans
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) When we'll be kings

We'll speed up the nights to get drunk on your light
We'll learn the art of war to stand up for our rights

We'll chant your name
Head up to one and only way
We want to claim
To save us all today

(Oh, oh, oh, oh) From the road to heaven
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) Where life ends and begins
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) We'll know how to cross the oceans
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) When we'll be kings

11. Insecure

[Bonus track]

Talk to me now
And express what's sleeping inside your head
Release the claws
There is not always blood on soldiers' blade
Who's frightening you, is your neighbour a bad boy or your best friend
He's smiling to you, but are you able to read what's inside his brain

Now be aware
SuperCop is here watching over you
He's taking care
Of weak souls hypnotized by TV news
Keep up the fear, don't let the big flames of agony be put out
Don't stay in the rear, the corner of your street's the end of your road

This is the last time I feel insecure
If evil's in town, I tumble down
We are free now because I am sure
That we're united as one
This is the last time I feel insecure
I won't cry anymore, I can ignore
And shut up now, I can be hidden
By hundreds and thousands of voices aloud

He is in jail
But do you really know why he's here
He shouts and yells
Then cries cos he can't control his fear
Young innocents, d'you know what we've done to let you live this hell
Dollars and cents know how to give you power, money often smells

This is the last time I feel insecure
If evil's in town, I tumble down
We are free now because I am sure
That we're united as one
This is the last time I feel insecure
I won't cry anymore, I can ignore
And shut up now, I can be hidden
By hundreds and thousands of voices aloud
