1. Angels

[Music: Gryaznov/Markov; Lyrics: Gryaznov]

I was murdered
No one noticed
Buried deeply in the nameless grave
Was it my life?
Was it my fate?
Was it everything you've chosen me to take?

Save me,
Now I need you more than ever
God, if you are there
Don't let me fall
Save me,
Here, between my hell and heaven
I believe, that
I still got
Angels around me

I remember
Being someone
Knowing more than I deserve to know
Would you heal me
Would you help me
To stay longer than a day within your world

Choosing
Aims and arrows, ways and manners
God, I need to know
Why am I here
Choosing
Sides and labels, rules and fables
And I doubt if I still got
Angels around me

Are you there?
Let me know
Please, don't leave me alone
God! Tell me, was it fair
That all the angels went away
Why have they disappeared
Gave up my life for many hollow years

[Solo Ilya]
[Solo Alexey]

You feel it's gnawing at your guts like a worm
You need to feed it, but it will ask for more
There's only one way to get it under control
But in the end there's a chance to return your soul

Choosing
Aims and arrows, ways and manners
God, I need to know
Why am I here
Choosing
Sides and labels, rules and fables
And I doubt if I still got
Angels around me

Angels in me
Demons in me

2. Ain't No Superman

[Music: Gryaznov/Markov; Lyrics: Markov]

[Solo Ilya]

The dawn is waking, but it's getting darker
The sun is rising, but there's no light at all
My body's freezing, the cold is getting sharper
But fury's shooting up right through my soul
Why should I work when everybody's stealing
No tears anymore, eyes full of salt
It is not me who started killing
If no one's guilty now that's everybody's fault

Social justice and tyranny are intertwined together
The rich are getting richer while the prices rise
Why do you live this way, the stakes are getting higher
The biggest rat might get the biggest prize

Hey! - Hey!
I ain't no superman
Got no superpower,
I just play my cards with the sleight of hand
Hey! - Hey!
I ain't no superman,
A lucky bastard,
I just try to make it the best I can

If there's no road, you cannot run, my brother
No chance to win if you can't decide.
They made us prisoners that spy on one another
The good must get the evil on their side
The system failed, the bolts are clanking
I am the one on the rescue mission
I am the curse of the dirty bankers,
Crooked businessmen and politicians, yeah

Social justice and tyranny are intertwined together
The rich are getting richer while the prices rise
Why do you live this way, the stakes are getting higher
The biggest rat might get the biggest prize

Hey! - Hey!
I ain't no superman
Got no superpower,
I just play my cards with the sleight of hand
Hey! - Hey!
I ain't no superman,
A lucky bastard,
I just try to make it the best I can

[Solo Ilya]

Hey! - Hey!

3. Try

[Music: Markov/Gryaznov; Lyrics: Markov]

She is like a star that's shining upon me
Thank God no one can erase her from my memory
I hope she remembers the times that we had
I know that I can't forget

I feel that my sorrow won't leave me alone
I'm lost and forsaken, my heart is turning to stone

I know you're gone
I shall go on
But it's not over, o-oh

It's passing me by, it's always increasing the pace
A smile on my lips, tears in my eyes, I lie
You'd never believe, but I cannot forget your face o-oh
I feel the same no matter how hard I try

[Solo Oleg]

It's passing me by, it's always increasing the pace
A smile on my lips, tears in my eyes, I lie
You'd never believe, but I cannot forget your face o-oh
I feel the same no matter how hard I try

4. Cradle Of War

[Music: Gryaznov/Markov; Lyrics: Gryaznov/Markov]

Listen, mother -
Your son is calling
Light your candle and
Walk through the silent night
He's so lonely
In this mad world
He's just like me
Or... maybe I'm just a child

"Somewhere far away
In a better place
You will find your
Everlasting peace,
Don't you be afraid
Of those dreadful dreams" -
That's what she said to me

But still I can hear
The voices of the wind
Memories of those friends
Who are gone forever
How could I miss the day
That took them all away?
And now they are all asleep
In the cradle of war

Wash my tears out
Turn my fears off
I don't need these
Memories anymore
I was stronger
When I was younger
Now I cannot
Bear this price of war

"Somewhere far away
In a better place
You will find your
Everlasting peace,
Don't you be afraid
Of those dreadful dreams" -
That's what she said to me

But still I can hear
The voices of the wind
Memories of those friends
Who are gone forever
How could I miss the day
That took them all away?
And now they are all asleep
In the cradle of war

Recurring nightmare drives me insane
Undying enemies reborn again

Ripped out of my body my soul will dissipate
Where are the others - there's no one left to hate

And now I know
What it means to stay alone
To you I bow
Rest in peace, my friend
In the cradle of war

I hear the inner voice, I feel the pain
I'll use my last chance, I'll break the chain

Beyond the nightmares I'll make my way
Right through the darkness my fear will go away

And now I know
What it means to stay alone
To you I bow
Rest in peace, my friend
In the cradle of war

[Solo Ilya]

Still I can hear
The voices of the wind
Memories of those friends
Who are gone forever
How could I miss the day
That took them all away?
And now they are all asleep
In the cradle of war

5. Rumors Of Better Life

[Music: Gryaznov; Lyrics: Gryaznov/Markov]

A century
Passed beside me like a dream
Now I feel
All its madness on my skin
A thousand lies
Like a finely crafted guise
Stay behind me in the past

Rumors of better life
Someone's reason to worry
About every single success
Talent without a sign,
A dream for trendy role
Rumors of better life
Find a reason to wonder
Over and over again
How can you make it right
When everything lives and dies

[Solo Oleg]

Rumors of better life
Someone's reason to worry
About every single success
Talent without a sign,
A dream for trendy role
Rumors of better life
Find a reason to wonder
Over and over again
How can you make it right
When everything lives and dies

Boiling sun
Burnt your wings by distant light
The stars are gone
So impassive to your kind
Make a try
Will you climb a little higher,
Will you reach another sky?

Rumors of better life
Someone's reason to worry
About every single success
Talent without a sign,
A dream for trendy role
Rumors of better life
Find a reason to wonder
Over and over again
How can you make it right
When everything lives and dies

Why everyone's so inspired
By rumours of better life?

6. Past Bites

[Music: Plotnikoff; Lyrics: Markov]

If you ever find my number
Don't call me cause I won't be there
If you ever notice regret
Don't tell me cause I don't care
It might seem hard to understand
You'd think it can be washed away
My heart was never made from sand
Pain wants to stay

You're living way too fast
I feel like you're insane
And don't you dare preach to me
You never knew my past
You never knew my pain
So don't you dare to teach me

I see you reaching for my doorbell
Don't ring it cause I won't be there
You claim that you know my song well
Don't sing it cause I won't hear
It might seem easy to predict
But might be hard to apologize
You cannot feel, but you reflect,
You rationalize

You're living way too fast
I feel like you're insane
And don't you dare preach to me
You never knew my past
You never knew my pain
So don't you dare to teach me

Never you've had your own fight
Never you tried to feel me
Never you touch my past bites
Never you can heal me

You're living way too fast
I feel like you're insane
And don't you dare preach to me
You never knew my past
You never knew my pain
So don't you dare to teach me

7. The City And The Stars

[Music: Markov; Lyrics: Markov]

[Solo Oleg]

Vivid arts of the mind
A desire to leave
Other places I find
They cannot perceive

What shall I do or write
Trying to find a way out
Against the fall оf the night
Telepathical shout

See the artificial star
Trusted cell for perfect brain
Our invention lies insane

Compelled to live
With love and hate
Your world it is
What you create

They store the memories when you die
A perfect soul, a perfect mind
A million years is never late
O-oh, o-oh

8. Bazaar

[Instrumental]

9. Voices Of The Wind

[Music: Gryaznov; Lyrics: Gryaznov/Markov]

I hear how the ocean waves make their way to the shore
I feel how the traces of sunshine reflect off my skin
I see how the children around me are playing their war
But all of this junk is too happy for me to believe in

Cause still I can hear
The voices of the wind
Memories of those friends who are gone forever
How could I miss the day
That took them all away
And now they are all asleep in the cradle of war

I've gone too far
Nothing's left of my life
And nothing's coming my way
The sun goes down
Somewhere deep, in my mind
I hear them callin' again

10. Road To Sunset

[Music: Mescheryakov; Lyrics: Markov]

I'm not a fool I know the summer is gone
The days are shorter, and colder the nights
Again I'm alone, and again on the run
The stars are my only lights
The windshield scratches are like the old mates
The growl of the engine, it's keeping me up
The motel don't matter, got the lowest rate
Two bucks a coffee cup

I love the road I love the feel of a car
I like to listen to the sound of the tyres
It's rolling faster than the beat of my heart
The only dream, the one desire

I knew I would have done as I said
This never-ending road to sunset
I'll find it here
She'll hide it there
So why should we all care?
I knew I would have done as I said
This never-ending road to sunset
I cannot stop
I cannot quit
And that's about it

I'm not a fool I know the damage is done
The grudge is bigger, and harder the words
Again I'm alone, again on the run
The seagull's my only bird
I need to press on, I need to get to the shore
I'll find a way out, there's always one
I'll sit on the sand, and I'll sit some more
And stare at the diving sun

I love the road I love the feel of a car
I like to listen to the sound of the tyres
It's rolling faster than the beat of my heart
The only dream, the one desire

I knew I would have done as I said
This never-ending road to sunset
I'll find it here
She'll hide it there
So why should we all care?

I knew I'd make it
I knew I would have done as I said
This never-ending road to sunset
I cannot stop
I cannot quit
And that's about it

11. Perfect Loser

[Music: Gryaznov; Lyrics: Gryaznov/Markov]

In every sign of coming day
I see a broken promise
I tried to change -
But stuck and failed
And lost my time as always, cause I

Wake up at twenty five
I brush my teeth at thirty two
I have my lunch at forty nine -
And still I got some work to do
I take a nap till fifty six
Then lay and dream for a few weeks
No, I don't ever need to know
How oh so far I could have gone

I am a perfect loser
Don't you refuse amusing me
I am in love with myself
Through dozen lives I still stay free

Awoke in silence on a stage
I waste my smile for no one
My thoughts entwined, my keys are lost,
I sealed the mind cage where I

Wait a bit for another direction
Then have a thought on my new attraction
I spend a month to find a rhyme
Cause I got so much time
I get again a healthy fun
For sappy dude at eighty one
My stakes are every time so low
I swear to God - you wouldn't know

I am a perfect loser
Don't you refuse amusing me
I am in love with myself
Through dozen lives I still stay free

[Solo Anatoly]

Wait a bit for another direction
Then have a thought on my new attraction
I spend a month to find a rhyme
Cause I got so much time
I get again a healthy fun
For sappy dude at eighty one
My stakes are every time so low
I swear to God - you wouldn't know

I am a perfect loser
Don't you refuse amusing me
I am in love with myself
Through dozen lives I still stay free

12. Rain In The Desert

[Instrumental]
