Armaggedon "Open" (lyrics self-transcribed)

* From album: "Armaggedon"

Open up your ears, open up your mind 

I'll show you the place where you can find it 

It's very far away and hard to get there 

But if you really want it, you can find it there 

Open up your ears, open up your mind 

Don't waste time if you wanna find it

Leave your troubles behind 

You must be on your way 

Open up your ears, open up your mind 

I showed you a place where you can find it

It was very far away and hard to get there

But you really wanted it and you find it there

Open up your ears, open up your mind 

Open up your ears, open up your mind 

Don't forget the time you tried to find it 

You'd left your troubles behind 

I hope you did clear your mind

Armaggedon "People Talking" (lyrics self-transcribed)

* From album: "Armaggedon"

[People talking

About the magic key

To happiness and prosperity

I don't want to talk

I don't want to stay

My time's been wasted

I go my own way] 2x

People talking

All of those 

But they're only talking 

Their power's gone 

I don't want to talk 

I don't want to stay 

My time's been wasted 

I go my own way

---------------------------------------------

Armaggedon "Oh man" (lyrics self-transcribed)

* From album: "Armaggedon"

Oh man, go on and watch those a lot the chicks

They're just fifteen and I'm not so sweet 

Yeah man, sit down and watch them 

Stroll along the crowded city streets

Go on and watch them 

Walk about the times they're perfect for these men

To turn you on, to make me feel so good 

You've got to touch their skin 

But brother if you see them sometime later 

You gotta help but say „Yeah, yeah” now

Where have those lovely girls gone?

Turned into women everyone 

Who took their innocence away? 

Made them sold out in just one day

Can’t someone help them, please to stay

Helps, helps all their lives

 Armaggedon "Better By You, Better Than Me" (lyrics found)

* From album: "Armaggedon"

** Cover of: Spooky Tooth "Better By You, Better Than Me"

You can find a way to live my passion

You listen to the blood flow in my vein

You hear the teaching of the wind

To tell her what I'm like within

I can't find the words, my mind is dim

It's better by you, better than me

Guess you'll have to tell her how I tried

To speak the thoughts I've held so long inside

Tell her now I've got to go

Fight in the streets and die for sure

Tell her the world's not much as looking for

It's better by you, better than me

Better by you, better than me

You can tell her what I want it to be

You can say what I only can see

Better by you, better than me

Guess I'll have to change my way of living

Only really know the way I feel

Guess I'll learn to fight and kill

Tell her not to wait until

Find my blood upon her windowsill 

Better by you, better than me

Better by you, better than me

You can tell her what I want it to be

You can say what I only can see

Better by you, better than me

*”The lyrics to "Better By You, Better Than Me" are about going to war and about someone who is too upset to express himself to his lover and asks a friend to say it for him: 'It's better by you than me because you can express yourself better at this time'.
