Voivod. THE OUTER LIMITS (p)1993
I don't want to go home
I'm feeling like a ghost
I'm falling all apart
Could you please fix my heart?
Why don't we leave this old town?
A new world waits to be seen
Give me a reason to stay
I'm not afraid to live ...
Tell me now ...
What do you read in my hand?
Please don't spell me wrong
What is going on?
What is seen from my hand?
I know what is true
Nothing's really new
Why don't we leave this old town?
A new world waits to be seen
Give me a reason to stay
I'm not afraid to live ...
Tell me now ...
What could be the best for me?
It's always been the same
I'm running like a train
I don't want to go home
I'm feeling like a ghost
I'm falling all apart
Could you please fix my heart?
Why don't we leave this old town?
A new world waits to be seen
Give me a reason to stay
I'm not afraid to live ...
Here we go ...
No one said it was easy
I'm on my feet again
A ticket in my hand
Here we go ...
Ride
Ride on
Ride the sunrise
To higher ground
Ride
Ride on
Ride the hog high
You're glory bound
Ride
Ride on
There is no time
You're moving on
Ride
Ride on
There is a sign
Another town
Bad mucking luck and misery
All is forgotten memories
When one looks for gold
Turn's into gray-stone
And down deep you are thrown!!
All this is over
I was standing by the Nile
When I saw the lady smile
I would take her for a while
for a while
Light tears wept like a child
How her golden hair was blowing wild
Then she spread her wings to fly ...
for to fly
Soaring high above the breezes
Going always where she pleases
She will make it to the island ...
in the sun
I will follow in her shadow
As I watch her from my window
One day I will catch her eye
She is calling from the deep
Summoning my soul to endless sleep
She is bound to drag me down
drag me down
Lost machine
Giant machine
Big engine
Cruising space
Ozone years
Controlled daze
Keeps the engine running
Silver beams
Analyze
Robot teams
Supervise
That was then
This is now
It must run anyhow
Don't you try
To know why
We can't talk
Close that door
My father
Remembers
Grand-father
Remembers
Patching holes
In the sky
It's running all the time
I can tell
This is hell
No one talks
No one stops
One day will we understand
How much the future is here right now?
One day will they understand ...
How true ... the future is here and how!
Please! Don't you believe / whatever he says ...
I'm no preacher ... I'm no space -age cowboy ...
I'm now flash-in-the-pan!!!
Don't you know that You have another thing coming!
You are not safe...
Here in this place !
Are you aware you face your last dead line?
I am here to warn you ...
President X-D will be on your TV
Electron waves
A pixel face
Listen now!
Please! Don't you believe / whatever he says ...
You will never switch him off
When you're hypnotized
Don't you dare to call his bluff
He's well organized
He gets around ...
Listen to me
It's not easy
To let you be
Happy in your world, and you can't imagine
What will come from the Milky Way, far away
My words are clear
We can't stay here !
What do you fear?
Happy in your world, and you can't imagine
What will come from the Milky Way, far away
You, People of this World
Be prepared to greet me
You, People of this World
You will submit to me
Deep into my third eye
You are getting sleepy
Deep into my third eye
You now belong to me
Now! is the time ... together we can change this place
For the better ...
Now, focus on my voice
Will you do it for me?
Now, focus on my voice
Yes! you'll do it for me?
I'll give you everything
But you must come to me
I'll give you everything
But you'll have join to me
Now! is the time ... together we can change this place
For the better ...
You will never switch him off
When you're hypnotized
Don't you dare to call his bluff...
He's well organized
X-D is coming
The sky is changing
X-D is coming
My head is spinning
And what about Hydra, Sirrah,Pollux and gemma ...
Diadem, Bellatrix, Mirach, Izar ...
Lies are what we once knew
Time to live something new, hey hey
This planet earth ... it's where I live
It's where I'll die ... I do believe
I'm working it day by bay
Life goes on ... oh yeah! Life goes on ...
We were lost in the valley
Mid-way between night and day
Which way's the god damn high-way?!!
"The car breaks down"
So we walk Ten Million miles
All across some country-side
Until lightning struck the sky ...
"The rain came down" ...
Hey!
This house looks so creepy!
Anybody home?
Look out! There is somebody !
We're not alone!
Up three creaking wooden stairs
An old man with no hair ... stares !
Sitting in a rocking chair ...
"Please be my guest" ...
He says: I'm glad you are here
I have been waiting for years
You see, they land in my field!
"Tonight's the night"?
Hey
You'll see ... Don't you worry
Make yourself at home!
Maybe they'll be friendly ...
Or maybe not ... but
Hey!
What if we're all crazy?
What if we're alone?
Then the sky is empty ...
And we're alone
We are alone
We're not alone
Are we alone? ... alone ...
Looking deep into the night
We'll see if the old man's right
So far ... there's nothing in sight
"Except ... Frost bite!!!"
Flying low without a sound ...
Look out ! They are all around!
Spinning down, touching the ground ...
"Damn he was right!"
Hey!
We see! We're not worried!
We're not going home!
They are green and ugly ...
Or maybe not ... but ...
Hey!
They are green and ugly
Who wants to go home!
God! We are so lucky!
We're not alone ...
We're not alone ...
We're not alone ...
Trouble and time left way behind
Trouble and time, a thousands crimes
And all the things you will regret
And all the things you can't forget
There's no reason to be ashamed
For your many all-gotten gains
And the Moonbeam shines on the chrome
Ride
Ride on
Don't you realize
What's going on
Ride
Ride on
The road to the stars
You're riding on
Did you ever live in this world?
Were you ever within your world?
Ride on and on until your gane
Do you believe you now are free?
Do you believe you're born to be ...
The Moonbeam Rider in the sky
The Moonbeam Rider on the fly
I'm going to the bridge tonight
Venus shines so ever bright
Deep in the woods under the stars
How did I come to get this far
Have this feeling ... what will I find
Around the corner of my mind?
A thousand trees of creeping sin
Dead leaves, blowing in the wind
I'm whistling an old melody
To keep the beast away from me
I hear the call of croaking frogs
Answering me lost in the fog
I tell myself, everything's fine
here in these woods, for the first time
Uh ohh!
Out in the dark, a shadow sound
Fear to look, but turn around
I realize I'm face to face
Two yellow eyes, an evil gaze
Ugly blood hound, no wagging tail!
How long has he been on my trail?
Down to the bridge; he's leading me
What is it he wants me to see?
Uh ohh!
Already we've arrived. Here I am
There's the bridge. Where's the man? What a scam ...!
That story about the bridge isn't true
I'm enjoying myself ... what a view!
They say the bridge is not what it is
No one ever come back ... so they say
What could happen to me anyway?
From away, a tall man comes to me ...
Has he been here, waiting ... just for me?
He says there's no more fishing in the lake
But one thing for sure ... I'm the catch of the day!
This is what happens
Remain silent
Lost machine
Giant machine
Big engine
Cruising space
Ozone years
Controlled daze
Keeps the engine running
Lost machine
Never fails
3-D screen
One message
Keep working Generate
It's the same everyday
Don't you try
To know why
I can't talk
Close the door
My father gave me a small stone that he received from his
father. This stone was brought from earth by our early
ancestors over 300 years ago, since the machine started
working. Our mission ... my mission to reach central
control and throw it into same wital part of the main
engine and blow the precious generator... I do not want to
have to pass this on down to my own son...
What will happen if I can't come back?
What if I should fall between the cracks?
Will I go back and forth down on-line
Wherever ! It's a question of time
Watching my sand glass
I count to a thousand I flip it over
A life-time in my hand
I set the counter
And switch-on the power
Transform my matter
Am I gone forever?
Am I tomorrow or yesterday?
Another second's just passed away
Upcoming present and future past
Am I the first? Could be the last
Over and under
I spiral down the line
I'm getting closer
I must be right on time
Closer, closer
Listen! Listen to me! Can't you hear me?!!
Listen! I beg of you!
I have escaped the one who rules deep in space.
He knows my name
I know this game
Now that I'm here ... he will know ehere I am
And he will get you too!
And he will make you believe whatever he wants
Inside your brain
He'll play his game
Listen now!
We can no longer take things for granted
We can now remember what we wanted hey hey
We're not slaves anymore
Now we know what life is for
We don't fight anymore
He is what we're living for
We're not slaves anymore
Now we know what life is for
We don't fight anymore ...
Not anymore
More than tears fill my eyes
As bright ships dot the sky
More than fear is in sight
As moon and sun stand by ... and cry
So? This is the end
I'm leaving now
Farewell my friends
X-D is now in control
Making plans for his new home
Fate lights me from within
To the stars ... I'm fleeing
Earth heeds not my warning ...
Forever sleep-walking, dreaming
So? This is the end
I'm leaving now
Farewell my friends
Maybe one day ... time will tell
I'll be back and break the spell
I'll break the spell ... I'll break the spell ...
I lost my key ... Where is the door?
Am living here anymore?
My souvenirs thrown on the floor
It's never been this bad before
I went outside to get a life...
But everything was closed up tight
Why should I care? Why sould I run?
Now that I'm home ... my guitar's gone!
I'm taking it day by day
Life goes on ... oh yeah! Life goes on ...
Awake at night . I look outside
A burning car in the dawning light
A sorry sight ... another fight
A scenery in black and white
What can I do? What can I say?
It's a hard time in a hard place
I'm taking it day by day
Life goes on ... oh yeah! Life goes on ...
Don't ask me if I feel alright
I'm glad that I am here tonight
Don't ask me if it's wrong or right
Remember everything is fine
Remember ... Forever
It's getting worse, most everyday
But has it always been this way?
This price I have to pay today ...
My god damn house is down in flames
A traffic jam ... commercial breaks
And politicians big disgrace
(Welcome aboard!)
