Accept - Russian Roulette Album Lyrics

T.V. War

T.V. war is part of life
Entertaining and far, far away
What a story and how they fight
Let's gamble and guess who will win

Danger is nowhere
We still got the chance to switch off
Remote control and the guarantee
It's somewhere else

T.V. war - T.V. war
Bloodless but deadly and cruel
T.V. war - T.V. war

We are eating, while we're watching
People die on the screen
Toasted and roasted and scrambled and fried
We are greedy and pay

Information - in between
Missiles are in the air
You can hear them and see
They're already here

T.V. war - T.V. war
Bloodless but deadly and cruel
T.V. war - T.V. war

Oh, yeah!

According to informed sources
Of the defence ministry:
There is now confirmation
That enemy missiles have penetrated our airspace
Impact is estimated in a matter of minutes
Good evening!

T.V. war - T.V. war
Bloodless but deadly and cruel
T.V. war - T.V. war
Bloodless but deadly and cruel
T.V. war - T.V. war

Monsterman

Screaming just for mercy
I am no monster man
Knowing makes you guilty
Not free of any faults

I see a hot, hot fighting
On controversial sides
They call me mercy killer
'cause I did it right

For love I gave your fading life
For love I had to give you up

I am no monster man - mercy or crime
Dead or alive, dead or alive
I am no monster man - mercy or crime

Facing all the trouble
I still remember our nights
And we're swearing both to free us
When life is only pain

For love I had to give you up

I am no monster man - mercy or crime
Dead or alive, dead or alive
I am no monster man - mercy or crime

Monster man

I am no monster man - mercy or crime
Dead or alive, dead or alive
I am no monster man - mercy or crime
Dead or alive, dead or alive

I am no monster man...

Russian Roulette

I know you raped me
And rocked my soul and life
You screwed my brain
And offered me a line

You set my heart on fire
To make me stick like glue
You know I'm coming
Down to the point of fear

You make me eat myself
In scream in pain in vain
To lose the last bit of identity
And forget humanity

That's what you like to do
To treat a man like a pig
And when I'm dead and gone
It's an award I've won

Do you think that pays
Pays for my life
Which I give now when I die

Wargames - killed in action
Wargames - for satisfaction
Shanghai'd - killed in action
Wargames

For you it's so easy
To erase my name
You might have a celebration
For the ones who died

Charity in general
Is tax-deductible as well
Ain't that exciting
Hahaha, when everything's alright

Do you think that pays
Pays for my life - hey hey
Which I give now when I die

Wargames - killed in action
Wargames - for satisfaction
Shanghai'd - killed in action
Wargames

What a lie to say I'm immortal
What a lie to sell me your fame
Where is God when I'm buried
Does he stop this bloody game

What a lie to say I'm immortal
What a lie to sell me your fame
Where is God when I'm buried
Does he stop this bloody game

Wargames - killed in action - wargames

Wargames - killed in action
Wargames - for satisfaction
Shanghai'd - killed in action
Wargames - aaah
Wargames - killed in action
Wargames - for satisfaction
Shanghai'd - killed in action
Wargames

It's Hard To Find A Way

You tried to make me feel
Our love could be real
And I tried, tried to make you feel
You and me have a chance

We tried to understand
Promises have to be kept
But it's only a game
Where both of us hope to win

But I just found the first little cut
And I wonder why, oh God, but so what

It's hard to understand - and find a way
To give you all my life
Hard to understand - and hard to say
To give you all my life

Well, I pretend tonight
Our life is alright
But I feel the weakness now
Of living with a lie

I'm acting sweetness
But I'm burning in hate
'cause I can't stand you hurting me
The same way I hurt you

But I just found the first little cut
And I wonder why, oh God, but so what

It's hard to understand - and find a way
To give you all my life
Hard to understand - and hard to say
To give you all my life
It's hard to understand - and find a way
To give you all my life
Hard to understand - so hard to say
To give you all my life

It's hard to understand - and find a way
Hard to understand - to understand
Hard to understand - you and me have a chance
To give you all my life
I'm burning in hate 'cause it's just a game
To give you all my life
It's hard to understand - so hard to understand
To give you all my life
Hard to understand - so hard to say
To give you all my life

Aiming High

Getting in the heat
Coming with the beat
And I love what I feel
Hard and heavy

And I'm moving on and on
'cause my life is on the run
Now I feel the need to cry
Oh, yeah - I'm aiming high

Longing all my life
Waiting for a friend
Who is fighting like I do
Likes to do it hard and heavy

It's a man's, man's world
Filled with love and pain
And he never gets enough
And that keeps him very tough

Aiming high - aiming high
And I'm waiting for relieve
To the best of my believe
Aiming high - aiming high
What a fight to get it right
For a minute of delight

Falling in the deep
Dreaming in my sleep
How it burns to be cruel
Hard and heavy

I feel lower more and more
'cause I won't do it anymore
And I feel the need to cry
Oh, yeah - I'm aiming high

Aiming high - aiming high
And I'm waiting for relieve
To the best of my believe
Aiming high - aiming high
What a fight to get it right
For a minute of delight

Aiming high indeed
Seeking for my need
That is my sense of touch
Hard and heavy, way too much

Aiming high - aiming high
And I'm waiting for relieve
To the best of my believe
Aiming high - aiming high
What a fight to get it right
For a minute of delight

Aiming high...

Heaven Is Hell

We swear it on the bible
If wanted on the Koran
It's always good for trouble
To have a holy ghost

We have made the decision
There is forgiveness, if you need
But this is not in this world
You have to wait and wait

There is no - no other way
You can't just believe what you want
No other way - no no
You can read it in the book, what's good or bad

Heaven is there where hell is
And hell is down on earth, oh yes it is
Heaven is there where hell is
And hell is down on earth, oh yeah

You shouldn't kill your brother
Except if he doesn't know what's right
If he can't love your heaven
Ah, it's a mercy for him to die

And that it's so much better
Than to live without redemption
This is easy to do so
And you can read how it works

All you need - is the holy ghost
Oh, he will comfort you
No other way - no no
That's how they're cheating you
And make believe what's good or bad

Heaven is there where hell is
And hell is down on earth, is it heaven or hell
Heaven is there where hell is
And hell is down on earth

Down on earth, oh yes it is
Is it heaven or hell

I'm sure we all know them
Those perverts, they're everywhere
Mmh, we're talking straight about facts
You know deep inside what's right or wrong
And the world stinks, and the paradise is now a sewer
And they sell shit for gold
And you have to take what you've got

Heaven is never in heaven - and hell is down on earth
Heaven is there where hell is - and hell is down on earth
Hahaha, heaven is never in heaven - and hell is down on earth
Heaven is there where hell is - and hell is down on earth
Heaven is never in heaven - and hell is down on earth
Heaven is there where hell is - and hell is down on earth
Hahahaha

Heaven is there where hell is
And hell is down on earth, oh yes it is
Heaven is there where hell is
And hell is down on earth
Oh, don't you think that heaven is there where hell is
And hell is down on earth, tell me is it heaven or hell
Heaven is there where hell is
And heaven is down on earth, hahaha

Another Second To Be

I hold a magazine in my hand
Facing the cover - it's me
They write about my coming end
No more than twelve months for me

Tainted and fainted and lonely I picture my life
Blameless and shameless I'm leaving in awful disgrace

Another second to be
Not another second to be

All the things I just have done
Passing my mind hundred times
All the tears I have cried, all the lies I have lied
All in hope for a better life

Tainted and fainted and lonely I picture my life
Blameless and shameless I'm leaving in awful disgrace

Another second to be
Not another second to be

Not another second to be
Lonely I picture my life - no second to be
Time's running out and there's just no second to be
I'm leaving in awful disgrace - no second to be
There's not another second to be

Walking In The Shadow

All my fire ain't gone inside
Only with you I will survive
And I live in the shadow of this wall
With fifty-eight thousand all in all

I surrender - I surrender
Heart'n'soul's gone to nowhere

Walking in the shadow - walking in the night
Walking in the shadow - walking in the night

For the very first time in your life
You've not been the last in line
You had to die instead of me
Do I have to live for you now

Is that what you want me to do
Live in agony and pain

Walking in the shadow - walking in the night
Walking in the shadow - walking in the night
In the night

Walking in the shadow - walking in the night
Walking in the shadow - walking in the night

Oh, yeah!
Walking in the shadow - walking in the night
Walking in the shadow - walking in the night
In the night - in the night

Man Enough To Cry

I'm a man and I stand
For my life and my land
Backing off is not - not my way

I was taught and I thought
A man is cold as ice
Showing off is not allowed

With my gun on the run
The force to kill a man
Looking in his eyes - my god, why

Is it me, is it you
The one who has to die
Hold on my friend
Could this be our end

I am man enough to cry
Hearts are burning
I am man enough to cry

Giving up what I've got
For a man and his life
The only way - to survive

I'm a man and I stand
For my life and my land
Hold on my friend
Could this be our end

I am man enough to cry
Hearts are burning
I am man enough to cry

Oh, hearts are burning
I am man enough to cry
Hearts are burning
I am man enough to cry
Hearts are burning
I am man enough to cry
Hearts are burning
I am man enough to cry

Stand Tight

My bones are trembling
Veins are filled with ice
I see you swagger through
Your boots are shiny, too

I still feel your torture
Messing up my life
I cannot forget
How you showed me your despise

Deep down in the gravel
I lie and wait for relieve
And I hear the orders you scream
Sounds like a choir to me

Stand tight - all right
And assume the position - we all stand together
Stand tight - all right
And assume the position - we all stand together

I know I am unconscious
Just what you like to see
You say you've got to drill me
And you let me kiss your gun

I have to clean your boots
In every way you like
You deny my human rights
You don't make it easy

And I am so down
So devoted and humbled to you
What more can a slave remain
Before he floods away

Stand tight - all right
And assume the position - we all stand together
Stand tight - all right
And assume the position - we all stand together

Stand tight - all right
- we all stand together
- all right
- we all stand together
- all right
- we all stand together
- all right
- we all stand together

Metal Heart (Live)

[2002 version bonus track]

It is 1999
The human race has to face it
They are confronted with the truth
It's secret - mysterious
A surgeon said it in the news
The human race is dying
But the result is no disease
Searching for you
Metal heart - metal heart
They found it everywhere
Metal heart - metal heart
Lifeless piece of steel
The scaring fact was even told
Total confusion
They found the same nightmare
Heartbeats - timebombs
Metal heart - metal heart
Unplugged they're dying
Metal heart - metal heart
Unplugged they die
Metal heart - metal heart
They found it everywhere
Metal heart - metal heart
Lifeless piece of steel
Metal heart - metal heart - metal heart
Unplugged they're dying
Metal heart - metal heart

Screaming For A Love-bite (Live)

[2002 version bonus track]

Screaming for a love - bite
And you hide it, that it makes you feel alright
See your secret in a mirror
It's black 'n' blue and it happened to you
In the heat of the night
It hurts just the first time
Ooh, it hurts
It hurts just the very first time
Screaming for a love - bite
For a love - bite
Hiding that it feels right
Screaming for a love - bite
Grinding makes so uptight
And you gotta face it, 'cause it decorates your neck
It's gonna stay there
Stay there for a long time
Just to remind you while you like it
When you went on and on
It hurts just the first time
Ooh, it hurts
It hurts just the very first time
Screaming for a love - bite
For a love - bite
Hiding that it feels right
Screaming for a love - bite
Screaming for a love - bite
