The Tune
Helloween Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes there's no tomorrow
Sometimes you hate the day
You feel there may be something
That intends to screw with fate

Take a look at what surround you
Each time you watch the news
Your mind gets set by someone's will
A template you can't choose

Love and desire, dry ice or fire
Don't you just want to flee their magic spell

No mercy for the nations two people are at war
Beliefs divide the dream they share of peace and harmony
Their eyes look up to heaven, address our god in prayers
Their souls exposed, they may decease by emperor's decree

Look, how they're crying
There's no denying
Now change the channel you're remote control
And the tune goes on eternally

For those who share the fear
On a frequency for you and me
You stare but you can't see
You hear and you agree

We're all here for a reason
So we can't just hang around
There's so much left to see and learn
Make way for common ground

And those who head the wrong way
Will rate as minor class
As castaways they'll render fools
When the horsemen come to rule

Strike the last hour in their glass towers
Infinite lust has made the curtain fall

And the tune goes on eternally
For those who share the fear
On a frequency for you and me
You stare but you can't see
You hear but you agree
You agree

And the tune goes on eternally
For those who share the fear
On a frequency for you and me
You stare but you can't see
You hear but you agree

And the tune goes on eternally
For those who long to hear
And those freaks sense they're superior




We're hypnotised, you see
They wave and we agree
