ROUGH SILK LYRICS

1. Roots Of Hate


So you say you hate and you're ready to fight
you're filled up with agressions
you say it's too late
to discuss for your right - you got violent obsessions

But history shows whenever hate grows
it's giving you misery and pain
it's a deadly illusion to find a solution
by usin' your fist - not your brain

The roots of hate - when destiny's callin'
the dark side of fate
some conscience is fallin'
the roots of hate - are small
in a cave without light they grow 'till the night
turns our fears
into burnin' tears

For billions of years since the very first date
there were fights and damnations
but destruction and fears never made problems fade
'cause the blade of a sword kills all patience

But history shows whenever hate grows
it's giving you misery and pain
it's a deadly illusion to find a solution
by usin' your fist - not your brain

The roots of hate - when destiny's callin'
the dark side of fate
some conscience is fallin'
the roots of hate - are small
in a cave without light they grow 'till the night
turns our fears
into burnin' tears

In the trashcan of mercy
some fallen angel cries
in fear and desperation
while another hero dies

The roots of hate - when destiny's callin'
the dark side of fate
some conscience is fallin'
the roots of hate - are small
in a cave without light they grow 'till the night
turns our fears
into burnin' tears


2. In The Deep Of The Night


Where the rich become the beggars
and the wise become the fools
some jaded heart may turn the page
and start to break the rules

way beyond the distance
the knaggy oaks of truth
wake thoughts of resistance
and send you on the loose

in the deep of the night
with your face on the ground
you'll learn to spit at the devil
not to get pushed around

in the deep of the night
when you gaze at the stars
when the fogs cry "freedom"
you'd better count your scars

maybe I'm sinner
and maybe I ain't no saint
but I know the ancient dreams
of the bounded and the chained

slavery or justice
holy preacher's fail
but preservatived lust
is getting outa jail now

in the deep of the night
with your face on the ground
you'll learn to spit at the devil
not to get pushed around


3. Calls To The Wind


Like the princess of time
damned not to die
I know we all need it
a shoulder to cry on at night
a place we can hide

blessed are the innocent
'cause they do not know
you only can miss
what once ruled the show
in your life
then it cuts like a knife
when memories arrive
you should not look back
and be strong to survive
to give your

calls to the world
open your eyes - catch the grace of an angel
calls to the world

when you're lost in the darkness
left standing in the rain
alone without pleasure
fighting the pain of tomorrow
and dance with your sorrow

you gotta hold on to your
dreams and believe
in the power of heartblood
don't let the thief
of the light
escape in the night
don't quit the fight
follow your conscience,
your soul and your pride
give your

calls to the world
open your eyes - catch the grace of an angel
calls to the world


4. When Thunder Roars


Destruction - pollution - intolerance - hatred and blood
the respect of nature's been slayed
and lies dyin' in the mud

we gods are left mightless now
as they praise their own shines
we only can send our signs

when thunder roars - in the night
their holy wars - should be fought just to save
this world from the grave of light

genetic creations - atomic sensations - they fly
to stars and horizons and reach for the sky

we watch them from nowhere
when they finally must pay fot their crime
we'll burry our tears in time

when thunder roars - in the night
their holy wars - should be fought just to save
this world from the grave of light

we - are standing together
and we - are one hand in hand
and we can't believe
this race we created
has got on the lose - begun to refuse
to try to understand

now
thunder roars - in the night
change your course - you can't win the fight

thunder roars - in the night
their holy wars - should be fought just to save
this world from the grave of light


5. Candle in The Rain


Now that you're gone
i'm trying not to cry
and I'm asking my walls
why our love had to die
wise people say time
will heal every wound - someday

well, I tried to be a good guy
tried harder day by day
but on this bed of roses
the fire - the wire didn't stay

like a candle out in the rain
on the wings of a prayer we've been hiding our pain
our fading love - we tried to save but in vain
like a candle in the rain

maybe we should have tried
a little bit more
and maybe we had a dream
worth fighting for
but it's been taken away
the winds of change blew so fast
and passion didn't last

well, I tried to be a good guy
tried harder day by day
but on this bed of roses
the fire - the wire didn't stay

like a candle out in the rain
on the wings of a prayer we've been hiding our pain
our fading love - we tried to save but in vain
like a candle in the rain

when at night the winds blew cold
we used to lie awake and hold
each other tight but these days are gone forever
forever now

like a candle out in the rain
on the wings of a prayer we've been hiding our pain
our fading love - we tried to save but in vain
like a candle in the rain


6. Cemetary Dawn


Nameless cross on the misty rain
reminds on hopes gone down the drain
you - who's burried at this lonely place
were proud to be a man as you lost the race

or did you cry in vain
did you scream for your mother but she never came

dead soldier - what was your age
as you died - were you still a child in the cage

you were food for the guns
missing in action like a billion sons
with no chance to get old
if you'd been a coward - you're a hero in my eyes
if you've been a cold killer who believed their lies
i'll pray for your soul

and so I bow my head
as I sit at your grave and remember the dead
who died for another one's pride

cemetary dawn - traces in the darkness
cemetary dawn - shadows of the past
cemetary dawn - faces of the pain will last

all them faceless gods of war
what the hell are they fighting for
losers & winners - all the same
victims of that vicious game

or did you cry in vain
did you scream for your mother but she never came

dead soldiers - what was your age
as you died

cemetary dawn - traces in the darkness
cemetary dawn - shadows of the past
cemetary dawn - faces of the pain will last


7. Sentimental Trust


He was a money - hungry - power - thirsty rich man's kind
taught to praise the business
and that's all he ever did

daytime - nightime - always the same
one day he realised
something's missing in his game

well - money makes the world go 'round
to have or have not - holy amount
but there's one thing you can't buy at all
whoever you are - without it you're small

sentimetal trust - sets hearts on fire
sentimetal trust - can't be drowned on greed
sentimetal trust - our dream's desire
sentimetal trust - tames cold and heat

another lad was just a shy shy boy
he wasn't too attractive
and always without joy

so he went to a whore to learn what loves means
but she couldn't give emotions
she only sold what's in her jeans

well - money makes the world go 'round
to have or have not - holy amount

but sentimetal trust - sets hearts on fire
sentimetal trust - can-t be drowned in greed
sentimetal trust - our dream's desire
sentimetal trust - tames cold and heat


8. Wasteland Serenader


I can feel a desert wind
hear it howlin' in the streets tonight
it's a warning noone fears
and there ain't no place where we can hide

strangers lost in silence
empty hearts and blinded eyes
dangers taste like violence
tears - while conversation dies

lack of communication leads to
asphalt - deserts - streets of pain
darkness calls the light

when all the water's banned
and cares are buried under sand
the wind will turn into a wasteland serenader
so wake up - just stop feeding dust
open your minds and learn to trust
it's never too late - never too late to try

cages of confusion
in this world of broken dreams
social constitution
tries to hide behind the streams

lack of communication leads to
asphalt - deserts - streets of pain
darkness calls the light

when all the water's banned
and cares are buried under sand
the wind will turn into a wasteland serenader
so wake up - just stop feeding dust
open your minds and learn to trust
it's never too late - never too late to try

I can feel a desert wind
hear it howlin' in the streets tonight


9. Through The Fire


Days of working, and years of rain
a handful of hope sometimes
leads to tears in rain
we'll never give - no
- we'll never give in
we're addicted to that rush

city to city - from show to show
that's the only way we want to go
even though the road is gettin' tough

through the fire we will ride
for power and glory - side by side
through the fire we will ride
you can beat and mistreat us
but you can't take our pride
we will ride

well it ain't for the money
that we might never see
but these few hours on stage
are the very best cause to be
we got an aim and that's all we need for now
we can make it anyhow

city to city - from show to show
that's the only way we want to go
even though the road is getting tough

through the fire we will ride
for power and glory - side by side
through the fire we will ride
you can beat and mistreat us
but you can't take our pride
we will ride


10. Ups And Downs


Sometimes your mind is getting
out of control and your soul is on the run
pictures of destruction
are killing your hopes beat your heart against
beat your heart against the wall and lights are turning
into dark and rusty wheels but tears won't stay

ups and downs
there are always ups and downs
sometimes we act like clowns
sometimes we act like heroes in the night
ups and downs
always ups and downs
like kings but without crowns
there are always ups and downs

sometimes your mind is racing
up to the sky and your pride is flying free
pictures of construction
are feeding your hopes make your face like without
make your face like without fear and wheels are turning
but don't you feel too safe it's just like night and day

Ups and downs
There are always ups and downs
Sometimes we act like clowns
Sometimes we act like heroes in the night
Ups and downs
Always ups and downs
Like kings but without crowns
There are always ups and downs

So there's no need to give your
Bread away for stone
Sometimes emotions grow
Where feelings can't be shown


11. Why


Once water took the fire
and landscapes ate the seas
then preachers grew and hatred too
the birth of a disease

I'm afraid of new crusaders
who force our freedom's fall
religions still course so much pain
and backs against the wall

are we just too blind to see
will we never learn how great
this life could be

why do we praise the fight
tell me why
can't we take the night away

why must children cry
can't we make this world a better place
without hatred day by day

why can't we finally find a way

we need no heroes
to protect us from our fears
just by filling children's eyes with tears

innocent victims of fanatics gone insane
"this power will last forever" they said
and millions died in vain

are we just too blind to see

why do we praise the fight
tell me why
can't we take the night away

why must children cry
can't we make this world a better place
without hatred day by day

why can't we finally find a way


12. Eyes Of A Stranger


They sell you sixty-nine and a thousand tales
just to make your fortune
in this kingdom made of glitter and tears
honesty on the run
afraid to touch the taken sun
and the lost light a candle

but don't forget you can touch the sky
(just follow your heart)

you can't get out - with eyes of a stranger
can't get out - you'll never stand on lies

so scream and shout
with eyes of a stranger you'll always be blind

silent scream in the night
parasites try to hide
behind success, glam and glory
passion dies - all these lies
oppression - fashion - blinded eyes
and the raped tell the story

but don't forget you can touch the sky
(just follow your heart)

you can't get out - with eyes of a stranger
can't get out - you'll never stand on lies

so scream and shout
with eyes of a stranger you'll always be blind


13. Forever


I was born to believe in dreams,
fortune and twilight
all my life I tried to understand
why - why silence roars

I had my pride
reached for the sky

but dreams never last FOREVER
