MICHAEL KISKE LYRICS

1. Could Cry

[M&L - M. Kiske]

And they walk by - feelings mutual
If I would try - I'd try to watch those trys to move a
little closer to the try

I get my handshake - it hurts the bone
I Leave the debate - long before the debate kills the
conversation that was talk

I could cry
I could feel so lonely
I could cry for me
Is it good
Or is it even better
Would you cry for me, me?

If that's your vow - let's hear your prayers!
It suits us now - but now is gone and little's won if
yesterday feels better now

Give a sign - a sign of giving
Show your spine - We kill the beast for liberty will
liberty help to kill the beast?

I could cry
I could feel so lonely
I could cry for me
Is it good
Or is it even better
Would you cry for me, me?

I kiss the end still in touch with the start
I'm coming down with the eyes on the up
I drink the sun and I eat the smart
when I got all mine!
When I got all mine!

[solo]

I could cry ...

2. Ban 'em

[M&L - M. Kiske]

Hey you! Don't you get tired -
Tired of being everybody's dick?
Hey you! Don't you feel sick of -
Sick of playing the target for their kicks?
Hey you! Don't you feel anger sometimes -
The anger of being a wimp with no possible win?
Hey you! Don't you feel empty enough -
to close that human hole from your stomach to your chin?
Creeps crawl by and seek a taker for their needs
You lose your face and bleed. An easy chance to feed some hate.

Ban `em out of your heart! - Infection's lifetaking!
They tear your world apart! - All settlement's mistaking
Inhaling stays heart - when rotten's the air that you breathe
and freedom's sweet!

We Shimmer and die on
Shimmer and cry on
We shimmer and die on
Along with our needs
Don't shimmer and die on
Shimmer and cry on
Don't shimmer and die on
Along with your needs
It all falls down for better days

Ahh! - She goes crazy
Ahh! - Don't go crazy
Keep `em off
Ban `em out of your heart!

Hey you! Tell me can you hear me?
Tomorrow don't exist when today was never true!
Hey you! Just Tell me can you hear me?
Fuck all securities! Losing spine won`t do!

You search for wings to fly - You'd like to fly so high!
But no one knows the sky - and you forgot to buy some time.

Trapped in your fears! - Lost in frustrations!
You die through the years! - A hopeless sensation!
Start it all from here - before it eats all that you've been!
Let your heart sing!

We Shimmer and die on
Shimmer and cry on
We shimmer and die on
Along with our needs
Don't shimmer and die on
Shimmer and cry on
Don't shimmer and die on
Along with your needs
It all falls down for better days

Ahh! - She goes crazy
Ahh! - Don't go crazy
Keep `em off
Ban `em out of your heart!

3. Philistine City

[M&L - M. Kiske]

On our long uneasy way
Never there, never stay
We please ourselves, eat ourselves
It gets us through the day
Maybe we should pray
`cos we all are gonna pay
For the arrows for others
That we shoot up today
All senses are numb,
The candle grows cold
In questioning hours
All answers are sold
The bitter taste on your tongue
You wash it down with some cheap fun
The arrow cuts deeper
The cheating gets done

I don't know!

Deep down within - we all feel the sin
From darkness we raise - but it still hurts them too
We all save our piece - just begging: oh, please
Make it go away - all thinking `bout those who freeze outhere

It's a myth when we say:
Give love
It's meaningless, meaningless
Sounds like the croak of frogs
We preach out in the blue
But never change anything we do
Our words have no weight
And our wisdom won't do

I don't believe
In your american dream
No more, no way
It's all not what it seems
We always hear them pray
Thanking the lord for the money days
And the anger grows stronger
In those who failed the play

I don't know!

Deep down within - we all feel the sin
From darkness we raise - but it still hurts them too
We all save our piece - just begging: oh, please
Make it go away - all thinking `bout those who bleed outhere

Changing colors, changing facades,
Changing fashions, changing masquerades.
New generations, oh! with whole new conceptions.
So it won't go away that caricature of man.

4. Crosstown

[M&L - Taraxes/M. Kiske]

You pretend that you own the stars
And all of your days are free
You believe that you fill the hours
And you size how far to see!
Tell me what it means to be!
Show me what it means to feel!
I know that you think that you're real!

Sooner some will get the matter!
Sooner one will tame forever!
Sooner than you know what you are!
Sooner one will match your limit!
Sooner one will soon regret it!
Sooner than you know who you are!

You believe that you know the cure
Born with a golden arse!
This poem has been heard before!
But some seek the new, god bless!

Give me a word that means!
Show me a truth that feeds!
And sell me some more than you see!

Sooner some will get the matter!
Sooner one will tame forever!
Sooner than you know what you are!
Sooner one will match your limit!

Sooner one will soon regret it!
Sooner than you know who you are!

When you search turn your head to tomorrow!
While you awake clean your heart tasting sorrow!
You can go! ....

Sooner some will get the matter!
Sooner one will tame forever!
Sooner than you know what you are!
Sooner one will match your limit!
Sooner one will soon regret it!

Sooner than you know who you are!

5. Where Wishes Fly

[M&L - Taraxes/Kiske]

Some say the prize is paid
Some preach eternal pay
Where you go nobody knows!

Before you came to me
Life was light and clean
Where we go nobody knows nobody!

Forget tomorrow!
We have today!
And we steal the night? A good try will show!
Can we go and leave it?
Words alone won't do!
When their lights get dim let's see what still glows!

Will you stay with me
When HE can't set me free?
Will you love me when nobody knows my name?

Would you see me through
When I'm just a burden for you?
Can I catch you when nobody knows your name?

Say we're together!
We stop the time!
These feelings come from where spirits fly!
Come see our treasures!
Let's tolerate!
These spirits come from where wishes fly!
From where wishes fly!...

6. Watch Your Blue

[M&L - M. Kiske]

Now you're well educated
All you speak sounds so well
All class is demonstrated
There's really not much to tell
With perfect look and perfect smell
With perfect style, all perfect well:
Watch your blue if your precious black!

Nothing you do could bother
All that you wear looks clean
You satisfy your father
In everyway life looks green

No one ever makes it better
No one ever beats you, never:
Watch your blue if your precious black!

But I - it seems I don't mind
I'm wasting a lifetime to bring down
What could wear that crown
My head - grows heavy instead
A heart made of stone
Potential unknown!

In darkness we kill our partners
In darkness we speak our minds
Don't let us look inside there!
Who knows what we might find?

Get it on and get it all
No one wins by thinking small:
Watch your blue if your precious black!

And I ...

Stay what's to stay!
Say what to say!
Pray when you pray!
Fear when you fear!

Here comes the feeling lonely
And here comes the feeling blue
Innocence's lost so truly
Innocence's gone, that's true

I - it seems I don't mind ..

7. Out Of Homes

[M&L - M Kiske]

I was the one to shout
When my shoes were tight
Now I'm doing better babe
I've changed parts of my strategies
Still I'm shooting straight
I swallow what goes wrong
There's no in-between
And nothing's ever what it seems

And it always seems allright (yeah,yeah)
I still come down after fights (yeah,yeah)

I'm alone on the streets tonight
I am lost but I will get it right
Silent anger chews my heart to mush
Dirt stains on me like a skin
And you always gotta see me again!

No longer cursed with doubts
Yes, that would be a life!
But life won't take our lessons babe
It takes its prisoners when it dates

I've seen, you've packed your things
For what tomorrow brings
I doubt preparing's possible
For something so untouchable

And I always seem allright (yeah,yeah)

I still come down after fight (yeah, yeah)

I'm alone on the streets tonight
I am lost but I will get it right
Silent anger chews my heart to mush
Dirt stains on me like a skin
And you always gotta see me again!

Yes it always seems allright (yeah,yeah)

I'm alone on the streets tonight
I am lost but I will get it right
Silent anger chews my heart to mush
Dirt stains on me like a skin
And you always gotta see me again!

8. It

[M&L - M. Kiske]

When you say your love is outrageous
I'm not trying matching with you
Fear eats through the ages
Swallows all good that we do
When IT comes close tonight
I grab as much of IT as I can get my hands on

The sound gets clear and bright
And bitterness is far

I understand: time demands pain
And constantly we kill all youth
In unison we sing in vain
If we don't care for truth

Still we paint our intentions blue-ish
Life-fakes get colored pink
It's the days of the foolish
Where men steal the sky with a blink

When IT shows what's inside
We take IT or leave IT or just roll on with our lives
Superficialized
We can't hear when IT calls

I understand: time demands pain
And constantly we kill all youth
In unison we sing in vain
If we don't care for truth

Let's pretend the circle is cornered
and stones will turn into gold
Let's try to make the sea turn red
Or to grow up before we get old

When IT comes close tonight
I grab as much of IT as I can get my hands on

The sound gets clear and bright
And bitterness is far

I understand: time demands pain
And constantly we kill all youth
In unison we sing in vain

If we don't care for truth

If IT is IT, IT saves the day
If IT is not we earn our pay
Is IT was IT has seemed to say
We get IT anyway!

9. Easy

[M&L - M. Kiske]

It's so easy - to hurt
It's so easy - to hateIt's not easy - to take the pain
Don't deny, don't you cry,
There's a lift somewhere
Deep within (yes)
It's giving that shows we care

If life gets too tough
And you give it all, that's enough
If blind is your love, it will carry your pain
But you got to show!
We had it all

And we gave it all away
Tears we will hide
All those years we learned to hide - Oh!

It's so easy - to hurt
It's so easy - to hate
It's not easy - to take the pain

Lay your head on me!
Lay it all on me!
Lay your head on me!
Put it all on me!
Lay all worries on me!
Lay all fears on me!
Lay all pain on me!
Lay it all on me!
Lay all load on me!
Just lay all weight on me!
(You can fly, you sure can fly with all weight off of your heart)
Put it all on my shoulder!

Long is the road
That leads out of cold
A second will carry all fortune at once
A second can show!
Embrace the world!

You got arms, embrace the world!
We run out of time
Yes we're bad, bad out of time - Oh!

It's so easy - to hurt
It's so easy - to hate
It's not easy - to love

10. Shadowfights

[M&L - M. Kiske]

Sun-breeze comes down on me
The air is so clean and good
There's no rush and it's understood:
No place for doubts in this neighborhood
Dreams can fly
I heard it said, I heard it cried

A moment of use will fade
A minute from here we're all too late

And Mr. Man is afraid!
If even the stars could fall down
Where to run if they hit town?
When faith disappears
When you drown in your tears
Will you call for the gods you don't fear?

Like birds we sing songs out here
I even saw you flying out there

When the night sings a song of hope
To kill sounds like these we wouldn't dare

Then we die
One lived in pain, one lived in pride
She didn't ask - look - find
He never saw what was on her mind

Cold spirits - Illusions in time
If even the sun will burn out
When all love you've found cheats you loud
When truth runs from you

Nothing real's left to do
Will you fall into mentally blue?

When they come fly, they come from high!
Reveal all lie! All hell comes to end!

Dreams can fly
I heard it said, I heard it cried
A moment of use will fade
A minute from here we're all too late

And Mr. Man is afraid!
If even the stars could fall down
Where to run if they hit town?
When faith disappears
When you drown in your tears
Will you call for the gods you don't fear?
