Lyrics for Album: Gold [2005]
  
               
  2028>My birthplace would be hard to find
  It changed so many times
  I'm not sure where it belongs
  But they tell me the Baltic coast is full of amber
  And the land was green
  Before the tanks came
  One day I learned just how it used to be
  The devils' curse brought the whole world to it's knees
  And it was "Hey you, keep your head down
  Don't look around, please don't make a sound
  If they should find you now
  The man will shoot you down"
 
 
  It's a mighty long way out of the darkness
  To where the sun is free to shine
  Oh! The truck came by to put us in the back
  And left us where the railroad tracks cross the line
  Then the border guide took us by the hand
  And led us thru the hole into the promise land beyond
  And I can hear him now
  Whispering soft and low
  "When you get to the other side
  Just run like hell"
 
 
  I thought I had a quiet place
  Where I could learn how to catch my childhood dreams
  But on my left and to my right they keep on shouting
  While I'm just stuck here in between
  Lord! I'm tried of running and I don't believe I can
  I can hear them calling time and time again
  And it's "Hey you, keep your head down
  Don't look around, please, don't make a sound
  If they should find you now
  The man will shoot you down"
