01. Hold Your Ground

Music by Gamma Ray
Lyrics by Kai Hansen
Come to plague me, rape and take me
Freeze me up, freeze me up.
Politician, inquisition freeze 'em up,
Freeze 'em up, freeze 'em up.

They're closing in, the iron round,
They hold the snare in hand,
To strangulate your way to live,
The norm always wins in the end.

Hold your ground, or tomorrow it will be taken.
Hold your ground, or tomorrow it will be taken.
Tomorrow it will be taken.

Law and order wall and border,
Freeze me up, freeze me up.
Automatic, democratics, freeze 'em up.
Freeze 'em up, freeze 'em up.

No parole on your housewall,
So nice and clean - our land.
And though they crash the hammer down
Resistance lives on in the end,

Hold your ground, or tomorrow it will be taken.
Hold your ground, or tomorrow it will be taken.
Tomorrow it will be taken.

They sneak around, they spy your mind,
Your unborn child's a number on their way
Into the grey.
Insanity, they steal your dreams,
They promise everything but they betray
Day after day.

Hold your ground, or tomorrow it will be taken.
Hold your ground, or tomorrow it will be taken.
Tomorrow it will be taken.

02. Brothers

Music & lyrics by Gamma Ray
My life, not yours
Is that alright no fight
I don't wanna quit it
No way, is that okay
No don't you dare, don't you dare
to touch it with your fingers
You sneak around, pull me down
Gimme no, gimme no, gimme no more bullshit
I know there's something goin' on
You better leave my life alone
You gotta take it a matter of fact. Now step aside

We are brothers in rock we won't let go
We got our music and we got our soul
And with the sisters of rock we can change the world
If we try

Cool down, now move around
Someday, maybe you will understand it
My way, okay feels so good, feels so good, feels so good
To be with all my good friends
Don't you realize you talk too much
I got an easy way of life, don't touch
You gotta face it as a matter of fact no step aside.

We are brothers in rock we won't let go
We got our music and we got our soul
And with the sisters of rock we can change the world
If we try

We are brothers in rock we won't let go
We got our music and we got our soul
And with the sisters of rock we can change the world
If we try

In the concrete jungle we play rock'n'roll
To set us free, to lose control
In the concrete jungle we can break the walls
That hold us down and keep us small.

Don't you realize you talk too much
I got an easy way of life, don't touch
You gotta face it as a matter of fact no step aside.

We are brothers in rock we won't let go
We got our music and we got our soul
And with the sisters of rock we can change the world
If we try

We are brothers in rock we won't let go
We got our music and we got our soul
And with the sisters of rock we can change the world
If we try

03. Send Me A Sign

Music & lyrics by Gamma Ray
Out of the dark
he came without a warning
the guarding light
I didn't see...

on a story tellers night
he spoke his words of wisdom
the tales he told from far beyond
that no one understood

He had the gift of prophecy
he wove a web of mystery
a thousend lifes shone gracious in his eyes

Send me a sign
for too long you kept me waiting
send me a sign
from the eternal skies
send me a sign
send me a sign

He disappeared
in the early haze of morning
and with him left his prophecies
they didn't care...

All the years that passed away
he'slocked inside my head
his tales became reality
the prophecies he said

He was the choosen one to see
his words will burn eternally
it hurts, that no one understands

Send me a sign
for too long you kept me waiting
send me a sign
from the eternal skies
send me a sign
send me a sign

He had the gift of prophecy
he gave a guarding light to me
I know, he set my spirit free

Send me a sign
send me a sign
send me a sign
for too long you kept me waiting
send me a sign
to open their eyes
send me a sign
send me a sign
send me a sign
send me a sign

04. Rebellion In Dreamland

Music by Gamma Ray
Lyrics by Kai Hansen
Voices are calling from somewhere below
melting on the eastern shore
Rain is falling down on me,
been waiting for eternity...
I'll be there!
Freedom for us all!

And I wonder why, why my heart still yearns
and I wonder why, why the earth still turns
and I wonder why, why the sky turns black
Still I wonder why, but there is no turning back

For all eternity, for all the world to see
we're riding high across the wind
and when the storm begins, to wash away all sins
we'll find a place where we'll begin

There's something wrong with the world today,
only the people that are fighting for...
...a better place in the world today,
they don't believe that they gone too far,
...they're falling down.

By moonlight there's a way... for rebellion
here, the world has gone astray... revolution
Now, the time has come to pray... hallelujah
deep, inside our minds we wait... for rebellion
Here in dreamland we will not obey the masters

... and the earth still turns but I'm on my way,
he is on the way, as my heart still yearns
... I'm on my way, now he is on the way,
and I cry for more
Yes I'm on my way, now he is on the way,
gonna find the secret wall

I have seen the secret dreams
of those who know eternity
and makes me feel like a shadow sneaking in
In my sleep I'm searching for a way to find
the open door leading me to where it all begins

There's nothing wrong with the world today
only the people that are fighting for...
...a better place in the world today,
they don't believe that they gone too far,
...they're falling down

By moonlight there's a way... for rebellion
here, the world has gone astray... revolution
Now, the time has come to pray... hallelujah
deep, inside our minds we wait... for rebellion
Here in dreamland we will not obey the masters
SOLO
Now I'm riding through the air
going to where no one dares
on the way I'll cross the line forevermore.
For once in life, I do not care
nothing matters, now I dare
On the ride I'll cross the line
forever to be free
SOLO
Have no fear, Rebellion is here!

05. Wannabees

Music & lyrics by Gamma Ray
I'm the biggest, I'm the best and
I'm better than the rest
I'm so tough and I'm so cool and
I'll put you on the test

I am the man, I have the clue
I'm the big cheese here,
Now who the fuck are you

Your show is bad, your style is fake
But the biggest fake will make the
Day and take the cake
Did you ever realize
You're big time sucking
You think you're really awesome
But you're close to nothing

You pretend to be a friend,
Don't try that one on me
So fuck off, stay away from me
And leave me be

Save me now, help me out
Save me from the wannabees
Help me out, save me now
Save me from the wannabees

VIP's and other maggots,
Smalltalk rules by stupid braggarts
Bla bla bla bla bla bla,
You don't stop talking
A flow of words
But they don't mean nothing

You pretend to be a friend though
We never met before
So what the hell is wrong with you,
Don't bother me no more

Save me now, help me out
Save me from the wannabees
Help me out, save me now
Save me from the wannabees

Who gave you a backstage pass
It was fucker from All Access

Remove yourself out of this place
Or we're gonna kick your face

Save me now, help me out
Save me from the wannabees
Help me out, save me now
Save me from the wannabees
Save me now, help me out
Save me from the wannabees
Help me out, save me now
Save me from the wannabees

Freedom for us all!

And I wonder why, why my heart still yearns

For once in life, I do not care
nothing matters, now I dare
On the ride I'll cross the line
forever to be free
SOLO
Have no fear, Rebellion is here!
