This page contents some lyrics that I like or think are worth reading.
Some of them are complete and some are just parts of songs.

Donīt be afraid to be weak
Donīt be to proud to be strong
Just look into your heart my friend
That will be the return to yourself
The return to innocence.
---
Dontīt care what peole say
Just follow your own way
Donīt give up and use the chance
To return to innocence.
---
Return to innocence, Enigma 2
I see love, I can see passion
I feel danger, I feel obsession
Donīt play games with the ones who love you
Cause I hear a voice who says:
I love you...Iīll kill you...
---
I love you...Iīll kill you, Enigma 2
Long ago, for many years
White man came in the name of GOD
They took their land, they took their lives
A new age has just begun.
They lost their GODS, they lost their smile
They cried for help for the last time
Liberty was turning into chains
But all the white man said
Thatīs the cross of changes.
In the name of GOD - The fight for gold
These were the changes
Tell me - is it right - In the name of GOD
These kind of changes?
They tried to fight to fight for liberty
Whithout a chance in hell, they gave up
Whith the cross as alibi.
Thereīs no GOD who ever tried
To change the world in this way
But for the ones who abuse his name
Thereīll be no chance to escape
On judgement day.

Silent Warior, Enigma 2
In the past the fools would pay
To see the freaks of the day
The contradictions of the norm
The bizzare, the wonderfull and deformed
No need for the tents and the cages now
The world comes to my eyes
In front of my TV circus
A freakshow in disguise.
---
World freak show, A weapon called the word.
In a strange land
Far from these shores
Lay two men and a woman
Killed by the law.
In no matter what country
Under the sun
You canīt meter justice
Thruogh the barrel of a gun.
---
Barrel of the gun, A weapon called the word
Tell me now I want the answers for
Famine, starvation, bloodshed and war
All the blood that run before
Why donīt politicians fight their own war.
I have no answers for
The problems caused by gouvernment and law
The only solution is to rearrange
From the bottom to the top this system must change.
...
I have no answers, A weapon called the word
The year is 1991, it seams like freedomsīs dead and gone
The power of the rich is held by few
Keep the young ones paralized, educated by your lies
Keep the old ones happy with the news
Tell the singer not to sing his song
Tell the poet that heīs wrong
And in the courts youīll win the case with lies
Cos you sold them down the river.
Do I belong to some ancient race
I like to walk in ancient places
These are the things I can understand
I donīt belive in your modern way
Donīt care about the things you say
Your policies have failed the test of time
Cos you sold them down the river.
Now in a land not far away
Thereīs men in prison bacause they say
The color of your skin is not the question
Did you rally to their side?
No, you sat back and let them die
I donīt know how you get to sleep at night.
---
Sell Out, Levelling the land
Gunshots shater in the peace of night
Itīs just another firefight
For the people of this little town
But for the dying soldier
Heīs feeling ten years older
As heīs lying face down on the ground
All the words that are in his head
Are all the words his mother said
As she would put him to bed back home.
Your Daddy died in the Falklands
Fighting for another manīs cause
And your brother he was killed in the last war
Now your motherīs lying at home alone.
Every day she sees his face
On the picture on the fireplace
With your brother as he was leaving school
Then a day came five years ago
You said "Mother, I need to know"
And you spoke the words your brother spoke before
"I know the things my Daddy done
Iīve seen the medals that he won
And I know this is what he would have wanted for me."
---
And now she wonders at all
How many more are going to answer the call
To fight and die in another countryīs war
To die for a religion they never belived in att all
To die in a place they should never been at all
No, never been at all.
Another Manīs Cause, Levelling the land
I thought I heard someone calling me
Iīve seen the pictures on TV
And I made up my mind that Iīd go and see
With my own eyes.
It didnīt take to long to hitch a ride
With a guy going south to start a new life
Past the place where my friend died
Two years ago.
Down the 303 at the end of the road
Flashing lights - exclusion zones
And it made me think it`s not just the stones
That theyīre guarding.
Hey, hey, canīt you see
Thereīs nothing here that you could call free
Theyīre getting their kicks
Laughing at you and me
As the sun rose on the beanfield
They came like wolf on the fold
And they didnīt give a warning
They took their bloody toll.
I see a pregnant women
Lying in blood of her own
I see her children crying
As the police tore apart her home
And they didnīneed a reason
Itīs what your vote condone
It seems they were commiting treason
By trying to live on he road
---
Battle of the Beanfield, Levelling the land
This song describes a true event, when the British police attacked
a gathering of caravan- and busliving people at Stonehenge.
---
The other day I saw a fox
Runing for his life
His eyes were wide but his mind was shut
To the redcoatīs bugle calls
But when he got home his path was blocked
By some sportsmanīs clever guise
And if this is how far your cultureīs got
Then I deny it.
---
This Garden, Levellers
Belaruse no longer feels the sun
But itīs under the skin of everyone
Belaruse forgotten by the blind
That is untill the next time
Remember all your yesterdays
In the deep blue
Before the world came
And rested there on you
And if the sun and moon
Were both to doubt
Then sure enough
Theyīd both go out
When you canīt wallk in the field
Feel the water in your hands
Youīve been touched by the doubt of man
Belaruse, Levellers
And it will stop
īCos thereīs never been
A day that lasts forever
Just as the sun sets
It will rize at dawn
Forever after.
---
Far away, mouth to mouth
---
Iīll be your queen, Iīll be your mother, Iīll be your mystical child
Be your best friend, your lover, your wife for all time
Will there ever be another in this life of mine
Will there ever be another like my mystical child
---
Elation, Mouth to mouth
---
I could run away
With Captainīs Courageus
I could live en fruit
In Montego Bay
I could run a bar
in a war-torn front line
I cuold do it all
Just not today
---
Captainīs Courageus, Mouth to mouth
---
Who could claim to know the answers
Itīs just the way weīre made to be
Love is stronger in survivors
Survivors follow destiny
---
Survivors, Mouth to mouth
---
Placed and educate in a neighbourhood of cime
Taught from the beginning that you werenīt worth time
Liqourstore and gunstore next to one another
With only one purpose so you all kill each other
Leaving one less problem to worry about
Thatīs the way they do, this is how it turns out
And justice for all with the American gouvernment
I wanna know were all the goddamn money went
We didnīt see it and it didnīt do no good
I guess you couldnīt give a fuck about a black neighbourhhood
---
Nigger, Deaf Dumb Blind
We donīt serve your country
Donīt serve your king
Know your custom donīt speak your tounge
White man came took everyone
We donīt serve your country
Donīt serve your king
White man listen to the songs we sing
White man came took everything
We carry in our hearts the true country
And that can not be stolen
We follow in the steps of our ancestry
And that cannot be broken
We donīt need protection
Donīt need your land
Keep your promise on where you stand
We will listen weīll understand
Mining companies
Pastoral companies
Uranium compnies
Collected companies
Got more right than people
Got more say than people
Forty thousand years can make
A difference to the state of things
The dead heart lives here
The dead heart, Diesel an dust
