Fire Up The Machine! 04:35
lyrics
buy track
C’mon Tonight is the night You‘ve got to fire fire fire up the machine! Don’t you hear it rumbling The Metal Rebel is boiling The city lights are welcoming you tonight This backseat ghost telling you: “You’ve got to fire fire fire up the machine!” Smoky roads dried by the sun, soaked by the rain A dirty train roaring in your mind! Uh! Don’t you hear it rumbling The Metal Rebel is boiling Rolling, rolling, rolling Speeding, speeding, speeding High on life Sharp as a knife You don’t know where you’re heading Cross the gate and become better than the one you were Love the sinner Fire! Hate the sin Fire! A brand new skin You’ve got to fire fire fire up the machine! Ah ah ah ah ah ah! Endless dusty roads, burning sun and soaring throat The path is long, stay strong, you’ve got to fire fire fire up the machine! At dawn in the shadows appears a gate in a stroke of light The backseat ghost has been swallowed by the night! Uh! Rolling, rolling, rolling Speeding, speeding, speeding High on life Sharp as a knife You don’t know where you’re heading Cross the gate and become better than the one you were Love the sinner Fire! Hate the sin Fire! A brand new skin You’ve got to fire fire fire up the machine! You don’t know where you’re heading Cross the gate to become better than the one you were Love the sinner Fire! Hate the sin Fire! A brand new skin You’ve got to fire fire fire up the machine! You don’t know where you’re heading Cross the gate to recode your self-esteem Time to turn the page Fire! To control your rage Fire! A fresh new skin It’s time to fire fire fire up the machine!

Dream On Till You Can No More 04:33

Hold on You can be whatever you wanna be In this tragically non-existent reality Dream on till you can no more Dream on that is the core Come with me Don’t you wanna feel for real The mountains and the sea Do you really think that one day you can be free In this non-sensible corporality You can be whoever you wanna be In this mind-bending reality Dream on till you can no more Dream on that is the core Dream on Dream on Dream on till you can no more Dream on Dream on Of light and brand new shores Come with me Don’t you wanna dive for real Into the sky and the deep blue sea Dream on till you can no more Dream on that is the core Dream on till you can no more Dream on of light and brand new shores

When The Sun Goes Down 03:52
lyrics

When the sun goes down All the shadows are coming back home They've got a smile on their invisible face They've got no clothes on, as if they were just born Come with me far away Let’s chase together some brighter days When the sun goes down We’d better, better leave this town Where the sun Where the sun Where the sun has gone Where has the sun Where has the sun gone? When the sun goes down All the shadows are crawling back into their homes Dead souls trying to scream Black hole final TV screen Colourful memories Technicolor souvenirs Turned into ashes Come with me, let’s run away Let’s chase together some brighter days When the sun goes down We’d better, better leave this town You’re the only one not gone My only reason to carry on You’re the only one not gone My only reason to carry on

Tears Like Darts 03:42

I’ve been with you to these dark destinations I’ve lived with you the warm and delicate torsions I’ve come back to tell the truth I’ve come back to live again my youth Wreck my heart Tear me apart Leave me for dead At least in your arms I’ll rest Wreck my heart Tears like darts United we fight For this love which feels so right United we fight For this love We feel alright I’ve been with you to these untamed directions I’ve felt with you the cold and intricate flexions We’ve come back to tell the truth We’ve come back to live again and again our youth We’ve known the emptiness I’ve seen you desireless We’ve known the fragility You’ve seen my versatility Fix my heart We’re works of art I won’t fly away It’s in your arms that I want to lay Wreck my heart Tears like darts United we fight For this love which feels so right United we fight For this love We feel alright Yes! We feel alright! Yes! We feel alright! Yes! We feel alright! Yes! We feel alright! Yes! We feel alright! C’mon, who dares to think we’re not doing alright?

From Paradise To Hell 04:28

What is gonna be the next trend? When is the last time you were here physically? The sun went down as the heat went up The sun went down as the heat went up From paradise to hell in one tear drop We’ve lost our minds, the machine couldn’t be stopped From paradise to hell in one tear drop We’ve lost our minds Is it gonna end in tears of blood When is gonna play the next band? Where have you plugged your mind again? To the world wide brain? The sun went down as the heat went up The sun went down as the heat went up From paradise to hell in one tear drop We’ve lost our minds, the machine couldn’t be stopped From paradise to hell in one tear drop We’ve lost our minds Is it gonna end in a pool of blood Human ready made pleonastic Metal robots not so magnetic Young old models into black magic Mindless babies pro satanic Modern dandies psychedelic Pop art deadly land terrorists Retro fashioned spaced romantics Dirty monks total drug addicts Rebel buddhists videast activists Dark and clean brand cloned slaved gothics Jazzy spacemen lunatics Art brut business cyber punks alcoholics Dodgy bankers dadaists Neo popular hysterics Flying cities multi ethnic What is truly futuristic? What is truly so fantastic? What is truly futuristic? What is truly so fantastic? What is truly futuristic? What is truly so fantastic? What is truly futuristic? What is truly so fantastic? From paradise to hell From paradise to hell From paradise to hell From paradise to hell From paradise to hell From paradise to hell From paradise to hell From paradise to hell Hope you’re doing well?

You said we were the same You said we were not to blame I said that love can be lame I said we should feel no shame After all we have said, we fade to grey Such a tragedy, such a tragedy, such a tragedy, no one could see In your eyes I’ve seen, what tragedy we’ve been In my eyes you’ve seen, what tragedy we’ve been We said we should start again We said there’ll be no more rain But love never shines the same We won’t survive the hurricane Despite what we’ve said, we fade to grey Such a tragedy, such a tragedy, such a tragedy, no one should see In your eyes I’ve seen, what tragedy we’ve been Through our eyes we’ve seen, what love could have been Such a tragedy, such a tragedy, such a tragedy, no one wanted to see
