Inside your walls, the world is turning without you
what happens here, happened quietly
but still we gave our consent to
Swan song of intelligence,
deceptive future is here about to stay
Sudden out of nothing we are lost
Intelligence not longer used,
let us see today‘s abused
common sense out of control
fall into a hole
We welcomed it, resistance small,
the assent was the wrong side call
We welcomed it, we invited it all,
you assent your own identity to fall
Education is on the loose, dictatorship is about to rise
tell the stupid they are cool
and they will start leading fool‘s
influence and steady feed,
with things nobody needs
One world — and another for the rich
One love — and a lobby for the supreme
How can we involve,
when commercial puppets are in charge
How can busybodies educate discrimination,
armagendon in a hipster world
We welcomed it, resistance small,
the assent was the wrong side call
We welcomed it, we invited it all,
you assent your own identity to fall
Pick up the right shards and put them together
Into a thinking world, that learns from all of those pieces
And withstand, the promised salvation, desire for the lost
Disgusting liars, for own reputation,
so don‘t give up and fight
We welcomed it, resistance small,
the assent was the wrong side call
We welcomed it, we invited it all,
you assent your own identity to fall
Sometimes the few have the righteous view
Oh dear, when did it all start
We were so careless,
we have to take it back,
The Assent

My Invisible Me
04:37
|
|||
Almost a requiem the things I did and tried for you
like friendly fire, burned my soul,
just a shadow walk for you
You did not see, the diamond shine from me
Blindfolded eyes, nothing left for you to see
Almost a Requiem the time, I lived here just for you
A servants life, graceful death, only irony of fate for you
You let me fall with your cold blooded heart
Leaving a pile of broken glass behind
You let me fall
I don‘t understand you, the way how you feel
Thoughtless and shameless the warmth is not real
Remorse is a word without meaning to you
it‘s time to remind, the things I am through
Here I am, to erase
Almost a Requiem the life, I spent and lost for you
like sands of time, falling down, into a maze with senses of guilt
You did not see, the offerings from me
cold blooded mind, nothings left for you to feel
You let me fall with your cold blooded heart
Leaving a pile of broken glass behind
You let me fall
I don‘t understand you, the way how you feel
Thoughtless and shameless the warmth is not real
Remorse is a word without meaning to you
it‘s time to remind, the things I am through
Here I am, to erase
Last goodbye for a so called friend,
relationship was a social dead end,
farewell.
You let me fall
I don‘t understand you, the way how you feel
Thoughtless and shameless the warmth is not real
Remorse is a word without meaning to you
it‘s time to remind, the things I am through
Here I am, to erase

Silent Beggar
07:45
|

Who is that body?
Is she dead?
On the road
Who pulled the trigger?
It was me
Down the road
It was me
Down the road
Who killed Liz Sorrow?
Who killed Elizabeth?
It was me
Down the road
Broken, betrayed, I followed my deadline
Vengeance and suffer walking side by side
Who saw Liz Sorrow?
Who saw me killing?
it was him, it was him
Down the road just beside,
where her body hits the ground
he witnessed me with his eyes looking down
From the side of the road,
through the bushes through the wind
with white blind eyes,
he heard the sound of death
Silent beggar watch me now, every step I try to do
when I see him on the street, I have to pay the toll of sins
He sees the mad man crawling, with no destinations end
Silent beggar is in my mind, 'til the guilty takes my hand
He is watching me, bearing my secret deep inside of him
He‘s the ferryman for the toll from every
guilty darkened soul
sitting there and begging for my crimes and sins
Judgement, indictment, my fate is in one hand
he‘s laughing in his corner and waiting for my end
Silent beggar watch me now, every step I try to do
when I see him on the street, I have to pay the toll of sins
He sees the mad man crawling, with no destinations end
Silent beggar is in my mind, 'til the guilty takes my hand
On the streets, just beside, where our life is taking place
they sitting there, on the coldly dirty ground
Bribery coins, in their hands, all the people pay the price
for all their sins, to the judges of the street
Silent beggar watch me now, every step I try to do
when I see him on the street, I have to pay the toll of sins
He sees the mad man crawling, with no destinations end
Silent beggar is in my mind, 'til the guilty takes my hand
Silent beggar watch me now

It hurts, like a non-healing wound
But hidden deep within
I cannot stand reality any longer
Don‘t want to be sad and care about human disabilities
So I have to stop to think, to be happy again
Low-rate-IQ-happiness
So goodbye dear thoughts, I have to quit
Farewell my beloved mind
Confess, society is in regress
in the firm grip of conditioning
we influence stupidity, tranquility
Sometimes I wish I can‘t think cannot read
between the lines I wish I were, unable to fare
It hurts, like burning sparks
I close my eyes, I cannot breath
It hurts, inside my head,
too many times that I give up
Farewell my beloved mind
I know it hurts, but it‘s time to go
Goodbye dear life of thoughts,
welcome cold empty world
And now, no bad things outside the door
In the bossom of insignificance, our deficits exist no more
It‘s time to laugh, spent applause, clap my hands
to useless crap, I wish I had, nothing to care
It hurts, like burning sparks
I close my eyes, I cannot breath
It hurts, inside my head,
too many times that I give up
Farewell my beloved mind
I know it hurts, but it‘s time to go
Goodbye dear life of thoughts,
welcome cold empty world
Now I‘m free, no doubtful minds,
just follow fakes in a thoughtless world
I just want, my importance low,
that‘s no more worth, than a TV show.
It hurts, like burning sparks
I close my eyes, I cannot breath
It hurts, inside my head,
too many times that I give up
Farewell my beloved mind
I know it hurts, but it‘s time to go
Goodbye dear life of thoughts,
welcome cold empty world
Now I‘m free, no doubtful minds,
just follow fakes in a thoughtless world
I just want, no importance high,
no more worth and so I‘m not afraid to die.

It's In The Water
06:39
|
|||
We came, we saw, we lost the sighting of it all
It was first a local rumour,
then the people began to acting strange
On the street and the whole township
like robots remote controlled from far
The morning was so quiet
First cases right at noon
Then the rumours became facts,
the night brought all hell here
It‘s in the water and it is in our blood
It‘s in your eyes the threat crawls deep under the skin
We‘ve never gave and ever reign here over all
but in the end every kingdom has to fall
We came, we reigned, we leave the stage now to the next
Just a smile of despair will last, the world is free from us
The insight came too late, impurity removes,
that‘s what you get for arrogant mood
No prayers in the dark, excuse the sins we did,
to give a liar a second chance
It went faster than it came here
and the people took again control
Fight for rights and territories,
like nothing has ever happened here
The sore is back again and no one reads the signs
like a child who never learned, so what get we be here.
It‘s in the water and in every single pore
It‘s everywhere where people are or ever been
We are the virus no one ever can deny
and in the end our kingdom has to die
We came, we saw, we lost the sighting of it all
With a smile of despair we go, the human kingdom fall
We came, we reigned, we leave the stage now to the next
Just a smile of despair will last, the world is free from us
We came, we saw, we lost the sighting of it all
With a smile of despair we go, the human kingdom fall

A Social Dilemma
05:50

There is a new face living, in our placid town,
move in overnight wants to teach us modern style,
for a taste of life, or what they think this is
There is a new face living, just beside next door,
seducer of our sense
everything you like is now, 'bout to disappear
Follow me, not for real, make the righteous deal,
follow me, a whisper in, my head silently.
Future endeavours are hardly to handle without
understanding the meaning behind
Just feeling blindfolded, follow the leaders without explanation what is in it for me
Time, is running away much too fast,
left you behind in the dark
so crime, appear in the streets everywhere,
there‘s no way that leading you back on your trail
There is a new face living, in our modern town,
always in our minds a filter for our usual life,
want us to retreat, into a fake new world
There is a new face living, just beside next door,
snatcher of the sense
takes the thinking out of us and penetrates our head
Follow me beyond the screen,
shut the world out where you‘ve been
follow me a whisper in, my head silently
Future endeavours are hardly to handle without
understanding the meaning behind
Just feeling blindfolded, follow the leaders without explanation what is in it for me
Time, is running away much too fast,
left you behind in the dark
so crime, appear in the streets everywhere,
there‘s no way that leading you back on your —
Time, is running away much too fast,
left you behind in the dark
so crime, appear in the streets everywhere,
there‘s no way that leading you back on your trail.

Now I Know
04:45
|

Now I know what should be clear about our poor mankind
All the things we tried for peace, now I know,
it doesn‘t work.
Nothing ever reached our mind,
that could change the way to live
Warcry, genocide, predatory is alright
You are weighed in safetiness,
going down piece by piece
Every generation call their children our hope
but when they start to growing up
they‘re as dangerous as the old
The only way to cut this shit must happen in our head,
no rule will ever change the stupid and the mad
Now I know, it‘s in our nature, impossible to cure,
we have to taking rid of us
I know we are infection, the environmental wretched,
we try to fight ourselves,
now I know we lost, before we start the game
Why we want diversity, when we‘re born to kill ourselves
Black, white, asian guys everyone will pay the price
For a hand of golden coins we will piss on everyone
Every generation starts a new campaign for earth,
but each time they fail on the enemy within
Now I know, it‘s in our nature, impossible to cure,
we have to taking rid of us
I know we are infection, the environmental wretched,
we try to fight ourselves,
now I know we lost, before we start the game
Days are gone
when we hopefully plan our future
Greed and pride
we turned our home into a graveyard
Heavenly abused we took the earth,
for god, for us, for any leader
Legally approved we raped the earth
for nothing else than our endeavours
Who goes there my shadow of misery
(Ghost walk shadow, on a dreary meadow)
We know it, but try to keep ourselves alive
Take your gun, the very last time
(and do what we do, do what we do)
What we always do
Now I know, it‘s in our nature, impossible to cure,
we have to taking rid of us
I know we are infection, the environmental wretched,
we try to fight ourselves,
for a world we never lived with, never understood,
where peace is just a stalking horse
I know, I know, I know .... we have to step back

When I'm Dead
08:11
|
|||
When I‘m dead, is there anyone who cries?
When I‘m dead, is there nothing instead?
Since the day we were born, we‘re afraid to die
our whole life becomes a tug of war, about the reason why
We prolong life in fear that we might miss it
and during the efforts we missed it
And forget all the things, we have here, in our hearts
So let‘s live our lifes, here and now, on this earth
Don‘t praise me, when I‘m lying in my grave
When I am dead, everything is already said
I miss her smile, I miss his laugh
miss her hands, miss his strength, her way to walk
Why don‘t you tell us, all these things just right now
When I am dead, I cannot hear
when I am dead, I feel no fear
When I‘m dead, is there anyone who cries?
When I‘m dead, is there nothing instead?
I need you now, when I‘m alive.
I need you here, side by side
Until we‘re dying, hold your flame, hold your flame
let it burn in every shade, let it shine, in our eyes
Until we‘re dying, hold your flame, hold your flame
let your life be a fulfilled one, never bow before your fears
Why we dream, why we try, why we feel, why we cry?
Why we dream to reincarnate,
when this life is not, worth to be?
Why we try growing older and older,
when dreams of death, sit on our shoulder?
Fiery whispers in the wall,
talking 'bout the reaper‘s call
possibilities of life after death
in your gods hall, where humans fall
we try to make ourselves believe there would be
something but instead nothing there at all.
Nothing at all, so breath ....
What would you really choose if you could do
ninety years of fear the death, or sixty full of joy.
I miss his words, I miss her warmth
miss his mood, when he was sad, her way to walk
Why flowing warm words just in our graves?
When I‘m dead, I cannot feel,
when I‘m dead, I cannot hear
When I‘m dead, is there anyone who cries?
When I‘m dead, is there nothing instead?
I need this warmth, when I‘m alive,
I need it here, before I die
Until we‘re dying, hold your flame, hold your flame
let it burn in every shade, let it shine, in our eyes
Until we‘re dying, hold your flame, hold your flame
let your life be a fulfilled one, never bow before your fears
Now I‘m dead, my grave is quiet
Now I‘m dead, no lights on fire
Now I‘m dead, I‘m really gone
remember me, I am your haunting ghost
