Stop the World lyrics


1. Belonging to the Seas

They build high buildings
They're so ambitious
They fly so high
They never cry
They hatch high plans
They pay no rents
They drown in blood
But they don't care

Yeah!
Run, hide
Sail away
Yeah!
Burn, fight
Do not obey

Sail away
You are the prey
World is changing
Your heart is breaking
Past is gone
Future's not come
World is changing
Your heart is breaking

And I don't see any difference
In what they did and what they do now
They always killed all seeds of love
I won't give them any trust
Yes I'll take I'll take from them
Everything I need to exist
But they will never reach my soul
Belonging to the seas


2. Cry for me Jesus

Jesus, you had walked a strange path under these stars
It's a pity that you was hopeless like any of us
Tell me how much injustice had you seen under this sun
And how it could be human felt sympathy for god's son

Couldn't you understand when you were young...

Cry for me Jesus, christians have been crying for many years
They spent in vain all our precious tears
Throughout all these centuries under the sign of cross
You tried to be our saviour, but you became our curse

And I'm sorry to say that on your way you spoke lies
There's a big mistake that you made under this skies
D'you know why they always, always find someone to blame
Tell me how do you feel when they kill for your name

It will stay the same, just stay the same...

Cry for me until the dark
Will absorb my final spark
Until the sun will cast
The last ray of light


3. They Went Astray

Hey they, aley, aley, aley
They went astray, astray, astray
Through this damned way, away, away
From light of day, of day, of day

There was a monk who walked with us
He told that we would see a ghost
A woman who was wise and old
Alerted us not to catch a cold

A man claimed we should change our way
A lady said that we should stay
An elder offered to have a debate
But the leader said "Die or obey!"

And there was a badly sick young man
He said that nobody could understand
He laughed so strange through bloody caugh
And then he died in his tent alone


4. Curse of Mankind

If once there was love
And once there was hope
It was so elusive and thin
We failed to keep
We failed to grow
In corners of darkness within

Imposed way of existence
Subconscious reasons and aims
We're falling to darkness and chaos from which we have raised

Curse of mankind
Race of the blind
Decay of the mind
How soon they will find that deamons they rouse
Run after them behind
Nowhere to hide

If once there was reason
And once there was peace
It was so fragile and pure
We failed to value
We failed to care
In hundreds of ages so obscure

When laid off forbidden veils
And masks are thrown away
The world could be seen fading in shades of grey


5. Sing Along

Invisible war goes on
Armies are marching on
Balance is lost forever
Ignorance everywhere

Nothing but pain, so many fear
Where have we lost our past?
The future is now, the future is here
But our morals are covered with dust

Sing along with the earth
Sing along with the sky
Sing along with the green, green grass
Sing along those who see
Sing along those who feel
Oh, how wrong is our path

Rivers and trees are crying
Hope for the peace is dying
Culture is trampled down
Painted in grey and brown

Nothing again, so many years
Since we have took a wrong course
The future is now, the future is here
We are not ready to face its dark force


6. Another Skyline

They tossed another coin
No one knows where they're going
Through spoiled fates and innocence
They're doing their business

They burned another skyline
They strive for a new horizon
They do not want to share
The water, earth or air

Another skyline is burning
No one will be returning
Tell me why they do this
Aren't they feeling the breeze
Cold breeze

They killed another child
Removed themselves from judgement
They raped the common sense
They built another fence


7. The Words I Tell

The words that I tell they come from my mind
Which is covered by signs of an obscure illness
The shivers that I feel down my spine
Do you think that it looks like a promising symptom?

Do you, do you still see
Something in this world still troubles me
But in this evermoving hell
Who can hear the words i tell?

The words that I tell they were brought to me
By my own illusions and my deep egoism
Inspired by things we all see every day
So who the hell, who the hell wants to hear them?

I dream of a world that could stop for a moment
Just to realize where the hell is it going
I'm afraid I don't feel any better about this
Does it come from my wisdom or from my illness?


8. Clan of Fools
(lyrics by bleubarbe)

We're lost in reveries
Rejecting any rules
We always do like this
In our Clan of Fools

From apices of trees
We hail the rising moon
We always do like this
In our Clan of Fools

On fences and on streets
We draw our holy runes
We always do like this
In our Clan of Fools


9. Zombie
(based on lyrics by Dolores O'Riordan)

Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family
In your head, in your head, they are fighting
With their tanks and their bombs and their bombs and their guns
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

In your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie
What's in your head, in your head?
Zombie, zombie

Another mother's breaking heart
Is taking over
When violence causes silence
We must be mistaken

It's the same old theme since nineteen seventeen
In your head, in your head, they're still fighting
With their tanks and their bombs and their bombs and their guns
In your head, in your head, they are dying...

In your head - zombie, in your head - zombie
In your head - zombie, in your head - zombie
What's in your head, in your head?
Zombie, zombie
