U.D.O. LYRICS

1. Heart Of Gold

He is a man forced to live with the rats
But he is dying for a smile from you
He is a man without a home in his life
Is that a reason to walk on the line

It's like a game - don't mess around
Don't be a fool so just go on

No life of double standard what he's looking for
Only a dream of tender delight
No more a bloody fool in this dirty town
So get away take your own line

Hard is the game - don't turn around
You make the rules so hold your ground

He's got a heart of gold
The brain to realize he leads the better life
He's got a heart of gold
So free your mind - live with a smile

Heart of gold - just like a diamond in the rough
He is dying for a touch from you
No more a bloody fool in this god damned town
Please be strong for just one time

So play this game and move the pawns
It's up to you so just go on

He's got a heart of gold
The heart to free his soul, the heart to reach the goal
Sweet little a heart of gold
So free and fine - live with a smile

Live with a smile on your face

Hard is the game - don't turn around
No more a fool so just go on

He's got a heart of gold
The brain to realize he leads the better life
He's got a heart of gold
So free your mind - live with a smile

He's got a heart of gold
The heart to free his soul, the heart to reach the goal
Sweet little a heart of gold
So free and fine - live with a smile

Just live with a smile on your face
He is dying for a smile from you
So just go on - go on - go on
With your heart of gold

Don't turn around
You make the rules so hold your ground
Sweet little a heart of gold
Sweet little a heart of gold

2. Blitz Of Lightning

When it's nice and easy
He can handle the fear
He thought he was burning
With all the pain he had

Then his smile was gone
He didn't know where he was
Can't you hear him cry
This time he is alive

He's out to seek and find
To find his own style in time
No more retreat but fight
So be aware and watch the night, watch the night

Hello world, here I am
Don't you fool me again
I'm like a blitz of lightning
So get outta my way
Every night and day
The lightning strikes again

Then he came to the point
He could believe in his life
A different soul was born
He must no more deny

But he wants to forget
His old rotten desires
No more pain - no more cries
All those things are behind

He's out to seek and find
To find his own style in time
No more retreat but fight
So be aware and watch the night, watch the night

Hello world, here I am
Don't you fool me again
I'm like a blitz of lightning
So get outta my way
Every night and day
The lightning strikes again

Hello world, here I go
Don't fool me, oh no
I'm like a rolling thunder
The story's been told
And my blood runs cold
It won't be all the same

It will never be the same again

Hello world, here I am
Don't you fool me again
I'm like a blitz of lightning
So get outta my way
Every night and day
The lightning strikes again

Hello world, here I go
Don't fool me, oh no
I'm like a rolling thunder
Now the die is cast
Chances are vast
It won't be all the same

Hello world, here I am
Don't you fool me again
I'm like a blitz of lightning
The story's been told
And my blood runs cold
It won't be all the same

Hello world...

3. System Of Life

Now it's time to look in your eyes
You're so much better it's no surprise
It's like a mirror is watching you
Maybe the word's been broken - don't be no fool

Following the lights you see like a rolling train
Yesterday is gone - tomorrow's in your hands
Something you've had is gone - don't wish it back
Let it go - don't run away - it's nothing you'll forget

You know the rules don't need no warning
There's only one way to find the clue
Inside you so let it go

System of life - be the hunted or the hunter
System of life
System of life - it's always by your side
System of life - the one and only way to live in harmony

Don't paint a picture full of love and hate
Paradise is here - but exceptions prove the rules
Sometimes it feels just like a dream becoming true
Close your eyes - look inside - it will never be the same

'Cause for your life there ain't no warning
So stand up and fight to find the clue
So watch out you live and learn

It's the
System of life - be the broken or the breaker
System of life
It's the
System of life - it's always real and true
System of life - the one and only way to live in harmony
Yeah - yeah

Oh, it's the
System of life - be the hunted or the hunter
System of life
It's the
System of life - it's always by your side
System of life - the one and only way to live in harmony

It's the
System of life - be the taken or the taker
System of life
It's the
System of life - it's always real and true
System of life

4. Faceless World

Listen to me - this is a warning
You have to wake up out of this dream
Don't be a member of this lifestyle, please
I hear the beat of your heart

So better watch them - don't be frightened
Can't you feel it - can't you see it this time
So many things appear like wonders
Be shameless my friend - save what you've got

Welcome to this crazy world
You cannot blame everyone

See the stars and see the rainbows - see it all
Don't turn away - you're all you've got
In a faceless world
You can run - but you can't hide
It's yourself who waits for you inside

So believe me it's not evil
To break out of this spell
Don't be wasting a whole lifetime
Don't betray yourself anymore

So hear me calling - this is a warning
When you feel it - don't lose it this time
One day you will be way stronger
Be clever old friend, cause then you'll be free

Welcome to this crazy world
You cannot blame everyone
Dreams can come true

See the stars and see the rainbows - open your eyes
Don't turn away - you're all you've got
In a faceless world
You can run - but you can't hide
It's yourself who waits for you inside

So hear me calling
Don't wanna mistreat anymore
Just one desire
I want to break this spell

No more wondering
I wanna be clever this time
I hear your warning
I just wanna be myself

Saw the stars and all the rainbows - you've seen it all
You realized - you're all you've got
In the faceless world
You tried to run - but couldn't hide
It was you who found yourself inside

So hear me calling
Stop betraying yourself
Don't waste all your lifetime
You've been mistreated so many times
In this faceless world
You've got to break out of this spell
Listen to your heartbeat
Be restless my friend
Just one desire
I just wanna be myself

5. Stranger

Don't spend your life like a dime
I thought you are not for hire
Stand for your rights - don't look at the past
I don't know - I don't care - my brain's
spinning 'round like a wheel

Don't feel like a stranger
Don't feel like a stranger

So turn around leave your feelings behind
Just calm down keep the devil inside
It's like a stone lying in your head
You never know - this time it could be real

And then you'll realize
Maybe you're wrong this time
Do something in your life
And then it'll work out

Don't feel like a stranger
Everything can be real
Don't feel like a stranger
Move on like a wheel

So you don't know - what is the reason
It's up to you to sell your life so easy
I thought you were learning from the past
Can't you feel deep inside when you're breaking the chains

And then you'll realize
Maybe you're wrong this time
Do something in your life
And then it'll work out

Don't feel like a stranger
Everything can be real
Don't you know you're in danger
Move on like a wheel

And when it works out
Don't turn around
Something is in your heart
So let it free - oh yeah

Oh yeah
Don't feel like a stranger
Listen to me - everything can be real
Don't feel like a stranger
Move on like a wheel

Don't feel like a stranger
Everything can be so real
Don't you know you're in danger
Move on like a wheel

Don't feel like a stranger...

6. Restricted Area

High voltage in the air
No way to know it's good or bad
Don't try to trick it down
Otherwise you could be dead

So just look out
It may be mean
Just can't be too afraid of this machine

A hole in the middle of the night
In the middle of the night
Restricted area
A hole in the middle of the night
Restricted area

Your brain's been mesmerized
And in your mind this place is full of steel,
so full of steel
So shift to overdrive
Crash away the gang with the men from another space

So be aware
Just leave the scene
The world's been metallized by this machine

A hole in the middle of the night
In the middle of the night
Restricted area
A hole in the middle of the night
Restricted area

A hole in the middle of the night
In the middle of the night
Restricted area
A hole in the middle of the night
In the middle of the night
Restricted area

A hole in the middle of the night
In the middle of the night
The world's been metallized
A hole in the middle of the night
Restricted area

A hole in the middle of the night
In the middle of the night
It's a restricted area
Hold on - hold on - hold on
Your brain's been mesmerized

A hole in the middle of the night
In the middle of the night

You're heavy metallized
A hole in the middle of the night

7. Living On A Frontline

Bad days are coming
Back into my head
They're looking for trouble, is that alright
You know you've seen them before

And now they're turning
Into the deepest nights
Shadows on the wall - don't surrender at all
You're not alone this time

Do or die - you'll always be on the run
Like a soldier in time - rain or shine
Aces high - you'd better be on the ball
Don't move outta the way - stand for what you've gotta say

We're living on a frontline
Always trying not to go
We're living on a frontline
It's much more than enough this time
We're living on a frontline

Now you start searching
For a better life
Better not look back - go straight ahead
Just be yourself all the time

Do or die - you'll always be on the run
Like a soldier in time - rain or shine
Aces high - you'd better be on the ball
Don't move outta the way - stand for what you've gotta say

We're living on a frontline
Always trying not to go
We're living on a frontline
It's much more than enough this time

We're living - living on a frontline
Always trying not to go
We're living on a frontline
It's much - it's much too much this time
Go ahead this time
Ah, we're living on a frontline

Ah, it's a bad game
I've told you before
So stay away from the frontline
And your friends next door

You say you're lonely
But I don't want them no more
But one day - you're gonna see
They're gonna disappear

We're living on a frontline
Always trying not to go
We're living on a frontline
It's much more than enough this time

We're living - living on the frontline
Always trying not to go
We're living on a frontline
It's much - it's much too much this time

On a frontline

8. Trip To Nowhere

I was born in a backstreet
Where people live a dirty life
Of course it was different most of the time
But it was not my fault

A life in hell
I saw it every morning
Dreams'n'desires
Can't hide myself anymore

I tried to live in heaven
But this dream did not come true
I tried to live in heaven
Next time I'll try to knock on this door again

I've been hunting
Day and night
Oh, I've been losing
Please, hold me tight

Why am I here now
And what can I do
You tell me you're sorry
You know it ain't true

I tried to live in heaven
But this dream did not come true
I tried to live in heaven
Next time I'll try to knock on this door again
You know what I mean

'Cause when you throw in the cards
Life goes on and on
You're on a trip to nowhere
You'd better reach for the stars
Life goes on and on and on and on again

'Cause when you throw in the cards
Life goes on and on
You're on a trip to nowhere
You'd better reach for the stars
Life goes on and on and on and on again

Now I'm taking my chances
Everyday, everynight
You know what I'm talking about, man
No more backstreet life

A life in hell
I saw it every morning
Dreams and desires
Don't hide myself anymore

I tried to live in heaven
But this dream did not come true
I tried to live in heaven
Next time I'll try to knock on this door again
You know what I mean

'Cause when you throw in the cards
Life goes on and on
You're on a trip to nowhere
You'd better reach for the stars
Life goes on and on and on and on again

'Cause when you throw in the cards
Life goes on and on
You're on a trip to nowhere
You'd better reach for the stars
Life goes on and on and on and on again

I made it out of this hell you know what I mean

I tried to live in heaven
But this dream did not come true
I tried to live in heaven
Next time I'll try to knock on this door again
You know what I mean

'Cause when you throw in the cards
Life goes on and on
You're on a trip to nowhere
You'd better reach for the stars
Life goes on and on and on and on again

'Cause when you throw in the cards
Life goes on and on
You're on a trip to nowhere
You'd better reach for the stars
Life goes on and on and on and on again

'Cause when you throw in the cards...

9. Born To Run

You're back to win
To start again
Searching for the power
That you've had before

The tables turned
Mistakes you've made
Stop telling lies - no angeleyes
Just look straight ahead

Don't be afraid to roll the dice
Open up your eyes
So hit the road and memorize
You're not for sale

You're born to run
So take it from the start
You know you're born to run
Don't lose your heart

Now you're calling the shots
So you'd better watch out
Don't you understand you can't deny
What you have done before

But don't you know
Your time will come
Forget the past - just head out
Head out for your aims

And in the end you'll see the light
Tearing up the night
So let it shine and realize
You're not for sale

You're born to run
So take it from the start
You know you're born to run
Don't waste your time and realize that you're
You're born to run
Tomorrow's here today
'Cause you're the number one
You're leading the way

So just believe me
You'd better watch out
Your time will come
Mark my words
Think about it
I wanna tell ya

You're born to run
So take it from the start
You know you're born to run
Don't waste your time and realize that you're
You're born to run
Tomorrow's here today
'Cause you're the number one
Fight the fight - light the light - realize you're
born to run

10. Can't Get Enough

Again it's around seven
I'm burning like a candlelight
I don't know where I'm going
But I'm ready for this night

You'd better run for cover
Before I start to smile
No way there's time for wasting
Never walk in a line
Never walk in a line
Oh yeah

And I just keep going
Forget these boring times
And I'm hungry for desire
No way to live in a line

You'd better run for cover
Before I start to smile
No way there's time for wasting
Never walk in a line

Reckless and mean I'm ruling the scene - I never get enough
Acting the night - I'm gone with the light - I can't
get enough
I never get enough

Again it's around seven
I'm burning like a candlelight
I don't know where I'm going
But I'm ready for this night

Reckless and mean I'm ruling the scene - I never get enough
Acting the night - I'm gone with the light - I can't
get enough

Reckless and mean I'm ruling the scene - I never get enough
Acting the night - I'm gone with the light - I can't
get enough
I never get enough

11. Unspoken Words

My thoughts are going back - back to the time
When I was young to live a life
A life of lies - full of lies

Then you came into my life
And you've changed so many things
That I've done before - that I've done before

Without you I've been so alone
Don't leave me this way
Without you I've been so alone
Don't leave me this way

You treated me the right way
You always said don't give up
Some day you will see what I have done

And when I start thinking about me
Then I find out
You did it right - just right

Without you I've been so alone
Don't leave me this way
Without you I've been so alone
Don't leave me this way

Unspoken words - so many unspoken words
They cannot lie to me anymore
Unspoken words - words so full of meaning
They cannot lie, they're from inside
Unspoken words

Back to start again - we're working still together
More than ever - better than before
Better than before

Without you I've been so alone
Don't leave me this way
Without you I've been so alone
Don't leave me this way - don't leave me this way

Unspoken words - so many unspoken words
They cannot lie to me anymore
Unspoken words - words so full of meaning
They cannot lie, they're from inside

All those unspoken words so many, many unspoken words
They cannot lie to me anymore, oh yeah
Without you I've been so alone
Don't leave me this way, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Unspoken words...

12. Future Land

It's a nightmare leading out of the dark
Tears running out of my eyes
Wake up and bring the truth into your life
I can't stand it anymore

All those nightmares - endless despair
Walk away from this dream
Show me the way out of the darkness
Into a land of light

See the world with different eyes
There's something true in this life
And I start getting closer
You'd better not fall behind

Don't take me to tomorrow
Don't take me to the future land
Don't take me to tomorrow
Don't take me to the future land

And now I've had enough of this ride
Just let me out of this game
So many reasons to step out and pay
Everyday it's the same

No more hiding - deep inside me
The pictures start to be real
You'd better listen to your heartbeat again
I know I wanna be free

See the world with different eyes
There's something true in this life
And I start getting closer
You'd better not fall behind
Don't take me to tomorrow (oh, no)
Don't take me to the future land (no lying - anymore)
Don't take me to tomorrow(mmmh, I)
Don't wanna see the future land
Don't take me to tomorrow (into the land of light)

Don't take me to the future land
Don't trade your life for sorrow (reach out for the paradise)
Stop longing for the future land

So many feelings deep in your heart
Don't you believe in this dream
So don't hide them deep inside you
Let them out this time, yeah

Don't take me to tomorrow (no lying anymore)
Don't take me to the future land (oh no)
Don't take me to tomorrow (don't take me away)
Don't take me to the future land (without day or night)
Don't trade your life for sorrow (oh no)
Stop longing for the future land (for the land of light)

It's a nightmare leading out of the dark
Tears running out of my eyes
Wake up and bring the truth into your life
I can't stand it anymore

All those nightmares - endless despair
Walk away from this dream
Show me the way out of the darkness
Into a land of light

Don't take me to tomorrow
Don't take me to the future land
Don't take me to tomorrow
Don't wanna see the future land

Don't trade your life for sorrow...
