           Blut ist nur ferrari-rot ...

          AFTERGLOW

          (true story of treasure island)

           Take your gun, take your blade, with strong arm fight your fate.

           make strong your arm, make strong your mind,

           trust your fate but fate is blind.

           Red burning sky, purple afterglow, everyone did his last blow.

           lay down the blade, the final cut is made, some daring deed had to be done,

           some survived but some are gone.

           brothers in arms, farewell, goodbye, love to our friends in heaven high. ;

           gold and silver, they got their bloody pawn,

           we're sitting 'round our fire, silent until down.

          BORIS ON THE RUN

          (red mercury)

           Boris gets a mobile, Boris gets a gun, no time for a wodka, Boris's on the run.

           Boris takes the metro, Boris takes a train, runs to St. Petersburg, hopes it's not in vain.

           Man of Moskwa night, now outlaw on the flight, will he survive? he runs for his life.

           Over cold Baltic Sea gets a boat to Germany. no kiss, no love, no fun, Boris's on the run.

          CORSAIR QUEEN

          (true story of treasure island)

           Once when I was seventeen my first love was a corsair queen.

           met her on treasure island,she was fighting desperately

           against a gang of scary fortune's gentlemen, it seemed to be in vain.

           I was no fool, I stayed cool, helped her out of this, got my first kiss.

           I was rambling 'round the island when I heard the sound of blades and guns.

           first time I saw her in the smoke of guns, with pistol and sabre in her hands.

           she was the leader of a women corsair gang, they came from a land of blue sky and yellow sand.

           looked in her eyes, looked in my eyes...love at first sight.

           Brothers in arms we became, together we hunted the game.

           struggling hard side by side at least we could win the fight.

           when the giant treasure was won, full of gold and silver we sailed home,

           but the greatest treasure I was taking was sweet Layla, corsair queen.

          DEAD MEN'S CHEST

          (true story of treasure island)

           15 men on dead men's chest, yoho, and a bottle of rum,

           drink and the devil had done for the rest, yoho, and a bottle of rum

           15 men were on treasure quest, 15 men searched the treasure chest, yoho, and a bottle of rum.

           pieces of eight, pieces of eight, big chests heavy of golden weight, yoho, and a bottle of rum.

           15 men were on treasure quest, yoho, and a bottle of rum,

           they didn't find the gold at last.

           With one man of the crew alive, yoho, and a bottle of rum,

           what was marooned with ten and five, yoho, and a bottle of rum.

          DOWN UNDER

          (true story of treasure island)

           And the herold of the king came to the prison, to the men waiting there for death and said listen.

           Save your skin, save your neck, save your live from hangman, but you must go down south to a vast far away land.

           And the men decided well and in a mighty loud roar, they all cried to the herold "Yes, Sir, Aye,we shall go.".

           Grace of the mercy of our mighty king, we shall live and we shall sing.

           Banned to down under, to a country far away, the rest of ourlife there we must stay.

           Good, ol` home we shall never see, must go down under but shall be free!

           White cliffs of home shall shine for us in vain, the docks of our port will never greet again.

           You saved our souls, thank you, o Lord, we shall praise and pray again aboard!

           Good, ol` home we shall never see, must go down under but shall be free!

           Good, ol` home, good, ol` home!

           Sweet, sweet home, sweet, sweet home,

           Good, ol` home we shall never see, must go down under but shall be free!
