IRA LYRICS

1. Empire In The Bag

When robots pass by sucking out each others oil
When presidents say "We're sorry" or when passengers die
When people create laws speaking in an unknown language
When there are no questions left you know you're in their claws

But who are they and have you ever seen them?

Maybe you will walk with an empire in your bag
Maybe you will stop 'cause you're stuck with yourself
With a bomb in your head with an empire in your back
With a bomb in your bag with an empire in your head

Stumbling through the woods - plundering
You know greed is just a word
Watch the seas how they burn is there anyone left laughing
And is this really the end of the people?

We are a system and you are not the change
This is the people and this is the machine
God blessed the machine

This is not the end of the people
This is not the end of the world

Is there anyone left laughing?

This is not the end of the people...

2. Visions Of A Landscape

Searching for an image
To tell you something about my time
What is wrong and what is right
That question is also mine
Standing on a thin red line
No answer there to free our minds

There must be an image
That tells you something about my time
What is darkness and where is light
That question is also mine
Standing on a thin red line
No answer there to free our minds

I believe
This mind is mine
I believe
This vision is mine
And I hope
This mind is mine
I believe
This vision is mine

There is need for a change for a vision of a landscape

You say there are no miracles - but what makes you so sure?
You say there is no hope - but do you have a cure?
Are you passionate with what you do?

Through the eyes of an insect
Maybe god is watching you
God is watching you

The clocks end the time
They have the clocks but we have the time
The have the clocks
But we have the time...

3. Everybody Is In The Mood For Dying

Everybody is in the mood for dying
Or just wants to leave
Everybody is in the mood for lying
Or does not believe
Everybody could be somebody else
Somewhere else
Everybody is in the mood for loving
Or sleeps love away
Everybody is in the mood for falling
And fails every day
Everybody is in the mood for dying
And dies every day

War is over
If you want it
Peace is over
If you want it
Faith is over
If you want it
You are nothing
If you want it

Won't you resist it
Won't you forgive
Won't you believe it
Won't you release it
Won't you speak to me?

War is over...

4. Lamb

I'm not sure if it's me
When I talk to you I talk to myself

I hurt you with my words
Put the finger in your flesh

You bleed like a slaughtered lamb
Your pretty dream is long gone

You speak through me like a voice
And I'm yours
I'm your lamb

We are the same and you are in me
Half blind half happy sweet slavery
For you I would hurt myself
Change myself

I'm your slave
I'm a little lamb

I don't care who you are
I don't have a story to tell
I only use the word lamb to describe

It's just a phrase
Don't blame me
Think for yourself
Listen to yourself
Listen to yourself

Listen to me

5. A Drop Of Irony

Some kind of isolation is growing in your head
Another common conversation needs to be fed

Where gods hide themselves
Where angels live in cells

This is a strange place
I yelled before I fell

The trees spread their legs
The snowman comes alive
Let god know how it is
To live a life

A drop of irony
Is a glimpse of hope

Everything changes
Everything stays the same
Everything;s in bloom and grows
Everything goes to hell

A taste of life
Is a glimpse of hope

The trees spread their legs
The snowman comes alive
The night is full of lights/dreams/noise
The asphalt becomes grass

6. Encore

Poor young lonely stranger boy
Ideals in your chest
And you are sure that you do the best
Playing around with all those toys

Say hello to the preachman
He tells us how it works
I hang on your lips when you speak about pestilence
Please give me some sense

I know you can - yes you can

Welcome to the new life
Feel free to love yourself
Welcome to this hardcore show
Feel free to hate yourself
Welcome to the core
Feel free to lose yourself
Feel free

Because the world is good
Because the world is bad
Because the people are sick
Because you are okay
Because the fires are burning
Because there is no learning

Is there learning?

This is the encore...
