The system
Babylon
Loud, loud, loud
The four horsemen
The lamb
The seventh seal
Aegian sea
Seven bowls
The wakening beast
Lament
The marching beast
The battle of the locusts
Do it
Tribulation
The beast
Ofis
Seven trumpets
Altamont
The wedding of the lamb
The capture of the beast
Hic et nunc
All the seats were occupied
Break
The system
We got the System,
to fuck the System! 
We got the System, 	to fuck the System!

Oehhhhhh....

Babylon
Fallen fallen fallen
is Babylon the great!
Space is getting bounded,
time is getting late!

Masters fall and wonder,
people rise and wait
Fallen fallen fallen
is Babylon the great!

You don't need a coin,
I don't have to shine
We don't know the reason

But I need you madly
and you need me too
and we need each other...
and we need each other...
and we need each other... 	

Fallen fallen fallen
is Babylon the great!
Space is getting bounded,
time is getting late!

Masters fall and wonder,
people rise and wait
Fallen fallen fallen
is Babylon the great!

You don't need a coin,
I don't have to shine
We don't know the reason

But I need you madly
and you need me too
and we need each other...
and we need each other...
and we need each other...

Loud, loud, loud
The day the walls of the citys will crumble away
uncovering our naked souls,
we'll all start singing,
shouting, screaming
loud, loud, loud, loud

The day the circus horses will stop turning around,
running fast through the green valleys,
we'll sing and cry and shout
loud, loud, loud, loud

The day the cars will lay in heaps
their wheels turning in vain,
we'll run along the empty highways
shouting, screaming, singing
loud, loud, loud, loud


The day young boys will stop becoming soldiers,
and soldiers will stop playing war games,
we'll sing and cry and shout
loud, loud, loud, loud

The day will come up
that we'll all wake up
hearing and shouting of joy
and shouting together with the freaks
loud, loud, loud, loud

The day the world will turn upside down
we'll run together round and round
screaming, shouting, signing
loud, loud, loud, loud
loud, loud, loud, loud
loud, loud, loud, loud

The four horsemen
And when the lamb opened the
first seal,
I saw the first Horse.
The Horseman held a bow

Now when the lamb opened the
second seal,
I saw the second Horse
The Horseman held his sword

The leading horse is white
the second horse is red
the third one is a black,
the last one is a green

The leading horse is white
the second horse is red
the third one is a black,
the last one is a green
And when the lamb opened the
third seal,
I saw the third Horse.
The Horseman had a balance 	

Now when the lamb opened the fourth seal,
I saw the fourth Horse.
The Horseman was the Pest

The leading horse is white
the second horse is red
the third one is a black,
the last one is a green

The leading horse is white
the second horse is red
the third one is a black,
the last one is a green

The leading horse is white
the second horse is red
the third one is a black,
the last one is a green

The seventh seal
And when the lamb opened the
next two seals,
We saw the souls,
We saw the martyrs,
we heared them crying,
We heared them shouting,
They were dressed in white,
They'd been told to wait

The sun was black,
the moon was red,
the stars were falling,
the earth was trembling
And then the crowed
impossible to number
carrying flowers,
shouted amid 	
the hotless sun
the lightless moon
the windless earth
the colourless sky:
"How much longer will we suffer
from hunger?
How much longer will we suffer
from thirst?"

And when the lamb opened the seventh seal,
silence covered the sky

Aegian sea
I saw the souls
I saw the martyrs
I heared them crying
I heard them shouting
They were dressed in white
they've been told to wait

The sun was black
the moon was red
the stars were falling
the earth has trembling
And then a crowd impossible to number
Dressed in white
carrying palms 	
shouted amid
the hotless sun
the lightless moon
the windless earth
the colourless sky ...

They'll no more suffer from hunger
they'll no more suffer from thirst

They'll no more suffer from hunger
they'll no more suffer from thirst

They'll no more suffer from hunger
they'll no more suffer from thirst

Seven bowls
The first bowl on the earth
the second bowl on the sea
the third bowl on the rivers
the fourth bowl on the sun
the fifth bowl on the Beast
the sixth bowl on the stars
the seventh bowl on the air 	
And the earth turned grey
the sea turned black
the rivers turned red
the sun turned cold
the Beast turned pale
the stars turned fast
the air turned to poison

The beast
Who can find the Beast?
She's big,
she's bad,
she's wicked,
she's sad
Who can fight the Beast?

She come's,

who ever knows ...
Who can fight the Beast?

She's big,

English translation:
Come out, cursed serpent,
because if you don't "come-out" you,
I will "come-out" you!

It's a famous line from the Greek shadow theatre Karagiozis, from the play
"Karagiozis, Alexander the Great and the Cursed Serpent".

Seven trumpets
Ladies and gentlemen

Altamont
This is the sight we had one day
on the High Mountain
We saw a lamb with seven eyes
We saw a beast with seven horns

and a book with seven seals
Seven angels with seven trumpets
and seven bowls filed with anger

Those are the pictures
of what was
of what is
of what has to come 	We are the people
the rolling people
the why people
the waiting people
the wanting people
the tambourine people
the alternative people
the angel people

Break
Bye bye, my friend, goodbye
With a lie
you forget and break it

You make it
You make it
You make it
You make it

Cry in my empty room
and we try
to forget and break it

Fly
high
and then
you make it 	

[interlude]
Bye bye, my friend, goodbye
With a lie
you forget and break it

You make it
You make it
You make it
You make it



Do it!
