PERZONAL WAR LYRICS

1. When Time Turns Red

[Lyrics: Matthias Zimmer]
[Music: Martin Buchwalter & Matthias Zimmer]

Every step is so well planned forward
the next is in progress the last not yet done
Trend is acting first be in time
thinking later start the run

Running faster
In burning traces our disease
Turn on the master
Volume just to be increased

Even higher we cut off our wings
producing pushing just to throw away
but I still have my hope

Social competence is not needed
profit is what counts at last
Fit into a scheme right here and now
or be part of the past

Even deeper we cut off our own roots
Renewing reforms kicking them away
but I still have my hope

[Chorus:]
My hope...
sometimes it is painted red
My hope...
the color of the dead

Many steps so well planned backwards
The progress cannot be undone
Trend was acting first no more time
for a new start we are done!

Burning faster in fires on our own
The is no turning back
we are standing here alone

Even higher we cut off our wings
producing pushing just to throw away
but I still have my hope

[Chorus]

[Solo]

Even deeper we cut off our own roots
Renewing reforms kicking them away
but I still have my hope

[Chorus]

2. In Flames

[Lyrics: Matthias Zimmer]
[Music: Martin Buchwalter & Matthias Zimmer]

Step by step we are getting higher
throwing coals to rake the fire
Unable now to stop our course

No compromise we will face the fact
keep crushing or go down
Our time has come regrets are gone

[Chorus:]
Hell be our future, heaven our past
Choose our side made a decision at last
Grinding togheter one stands for all
The unit is complete now togheter we will fall

Well prepared and fast as hell
you are now an easy prey
Now it is time to drop the ball

What has been is ending here
and now we take the chance
Standing togheter we can break a lance

[Chorus]

[Solo]

Step by step we are getting higher
throwing coals to rake the fire
Unable now to stop our course

No compromise we will face the fact
keep crushing or go down
Our time has come regrets are gone

[Chorus]

[Lead]

3. For The Last Time

[Lyrics: Matthias Zimmer]
[Music: Martin Buchwalter & Matthias Zimmer]

Fear is not what we call a friend
it is clear, things have to be defended
What is the price we are paying to afford
no more emotions maybe our last resort

From the underground voices call our names
Let us believe our own words

Hate is a feeling we supress
project on others to let ourselves be blessed

From the underground searching for our names
to find out where we are standing
From the underground into a time of change
the angels are singing for the last time

[Solo]

In hell they are waiting to release our hate
for all we have not forgiven
The demon seed is what we keep on feeding
we cut our own veins for an eternal bleeding

From the underground voices call our names
let us believe our own words
From the underground read the signs of red
the angels are singing for the last time

4. The Unbeliever

[Lyrics: Matthias Zimmer]
[Music: Martin Buchwalter & Matthias Zimmer]

Still I am searching for my way
Still I am waiting for the day
on which my memories are ending
(a never ending up and down)

Still I am drowning deep in time
try to find out what is mine
and figure out a compromise
find the thin line

[Chorus:]
Maybe I follow an illusion
sometimes reality means pain
A never ending search for reasons
The unbeliever is my mine

Maybe life turn black on me
lost the ability to see
Each medal can be viewed
from different sides

What is real and what is game?
Sometimes lost and sometimes gain
The devil in the detail
drives my mind insane

[Chorus]

[Solo]

[Chorus]

5. My Conspiracy

[Lyrics: Matthias Zimmer]
[Music: Martin Buchwalter & Matthias Zimmer]

Following my conspiracy
Faking my own philosophy
The inside out turns black on me
becomes my second face

This is what I am
pour the black soil out of skin
Squeeze the poison out
renew my mind eliminate all doubts

Never fail in my decisions
My ideals and my own vision
Unspoken words left dead and unsaid
What made me put on my own crown of thorns

Is this what I am
kick the dark dreams out of my sleep
Drown deep inside my mind
open my seeing eye - rip off the blind

From the first day I knew all my fears are gone
I am my own saviour
On the last day I knew things went wrong because
I was my own saviour

Following my jealousy
Pushed myself to ecstasy
The inside out turned black on me
and let me lose my face

Is this what I am
kick the dark dreams out of my sleep
Drown deep inside my mind
open my seeing eye - rip off the blind

[Chorus:]
From the first day I knew all my fears are gone
I am my own saviour
On the last day I knew things went wrong because
I was my own saviour
Could not accept my inner voices
let them talk to deafened ears
I did so wrong in many choices
and found myself controlled by fears

[Solo]

[Chorus]

6. New Age

[Lyrics: Matthias Zimmer]
[Music: Martin Buchwalter & Matthias Zimmer]

Know your place and ask no questions
never forget the role you play
Machine keeps pounding running forward
avoid its contact mind its way

Between two lines
I find myself now

What you may be is what they ask for
not for the one you really are
Answering in terms that you are made for
look at yourself and feel the scar

Living my life and fear existence
Too weak to fight no more resistance

[Chorus:]
On which side are we standing?
Falling into a dark hole and we see no ending
The ground we are standing on is shaking
The barriers getting higher no more chance for us to break in

I am the one that gives you sense and
you are getting more than you are allowed
When there is a problem better stay closed
the next one stands in line to kick you out

What is my choice for leaving this cage?
To raise my voice scream for the new age

[Chorus]

[Fills lead]

[Chorus]

7. Frozen Image

[Lyrics: Matthias Zimmer]
[Music: Martin Buchwalter & Matthias Zimmer]

What has reached me is so hard
to understand it seems to be unreal?
An ice cold situation and I don't know how to feel

Frozen images come back to life and get up in motion
Memories hidden in my mind wake up my emotions

[Chorus:]
Come with me...
to the edge of desperation
Come with me...
see the signs that give us shelter on our way

When we have a way in mind
and follow a direction
Single drops from to a lake
and become cause for action

On the las break it is important
to lay down your creed
When we close our eyes forever
sink into the final sleep

[Chorus]

(die, why) is it worth to get free again?
(I try) to fin sense in those days...

[Solo]

[Chorus]

8. 5 More Days

[Lyrics: Matthias Zimmer]
[Music: Martin Buchwalter]

Going deeper getting under
the surface that I never dared to touch all times before
Where go to? Where we have come from?
and what is the reason for acceptance that we are struggling for?

[Pre-chorus):]
(All of us) Long for a ticket
(All of us) Pay for a seat
(All of us) Take time and kick it
(All of us) Until we bleed

Am I really waiting for a sign
or lays the answer to mu question in me for a whole time?
Where I come from? And where I go?
letting loose my mind to see my vision grow

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus:]
On day one I was going under
On day two I begin to wonder
Is it worth the time I walk this twisting line?
On day three I thought of my ways
On the fourth day looked my face
To get back myself I needed five more days

Why am I hanging in a balance?
not able to decide not make a step and take my last chance
The stones in my way have to be moved
The real sense of inner strength has to be proved

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus]

[Solo]

[Chorus]

9. Hope Dies Last

[Lyrics: Matthias Zimmer]
[Music: Martin Buchwalter & Matthias Zimmer]

Try to understand what is around
From the first day that we are born
until the day we hit the ground

Through the highs and lows we have to go
Development that goies in rapid speed
is what we call a steady growth

[Chorus:]
Hope dies last
Light the torch and see the light
Hope dies last
Keep it burning from inside

Measured not by status more by deeds
Evolution made its own way
Spit out unexpected breeds

Is it life to walk with hate accept pain is a common fellow
Still closed eyes pretend to see
we have found but lost the key

[Chorus]

What is our sidewalk the thin line of black and white
Rising the tide and deny all the grey

Hope dies last...

[Fills lead]

Try to understand what is around
From the first day that we are born
until the day we hit the ground

Through the highs and lows we have to go
Development that goies in rapid speed
is what we call a steady growth

[Chorus]

Hope dies last...

10. Inferno

[Lyrics: Matthias Zimmer]
[Music: Martin Buchwalter & Matthias Zimmer]

[Fills solo]

Generation unface
Ringtone terror all days
I am switching through the programs
What can be just sucks

Changing styles in all ways
pretenders of the new faith
the guardians of the new age
better open not their mouths

(make-up wake up)

Sitting on a fat ass
A consuming faceless mass
the imitation of life
We are killing our own style

The lowest level is not reached
The colors of time have bleached
hidden under make-up
we keep ourselves in shape

(wake up dead with a burning head)

Inferno, Inferno, Inferno
The so called trend is dead
Inferno, Inferno, Inferno
and all I see is red

Inferno, Inferno, Inferno
The so called trend is dead
Inferno, Inferno, Inferno
and all I see is red

Inferno!
