What A Place

What a nice place to raise children
Forrest, field and countryside,
Forrest, field and countryside.
Fishes upsidedown in rivers
Everything is so alright,
Everything is so alright
First impressions always distort objectivity
With a surface clean the etiquette now praises
a landscape reigned by idiots, fucked by slavery and disease
a closer look, it's so satiric to me
I'll no longer care for problems aching someone else's chest
You suffocate these blackened days in consumption at it's best
I'll listen to my heart and I keep following my path
I'm by myself and this is all I ever had
What a nice place to raise children
friendly cops, violent at night
friendly cops, violent at night
a beating bat to save the country
to keep everything alright
to keep everything alright
as I look around the corner counting people staring skies
full of emptyness, betrayal greed and fear
I'm glad I found the point to follow just my own advice
praise the emptyness, high I raise my beer
I'll no longer care for problems ache in someone else's chest
You can't relate to mistakes we made. You're not better than the rest.
I'll listen to my heart and I keep following my path
I'm by myself and this society's dead to me.
I'm by myself and this society's dead to me.

Dance

Was it insecurity that has driven you insane
or the cruelty of a system prefering numbers instead of names?
Was it just antipathy towards ignorance and greed?
Was it the blood on our fingers or the hatred in our streets?
It's killing me to watch you kill your brain
It's killing me to watch you dwell in pain
I'll pick you up, give me your hand
I'll dance you through the flames!
Your swollen eyes, they'll see again
dancing through till the bitter end
I'll pick you up, give me your hand...
We'll find a solution, we will find your smile again
We'll be out for action just as we were back then!
Of course some things are changing as we grow along the way
We just have to remember that we're living in today
It's killing me to watch you fade away
I'm sure once we'll have found a better way...
I'll pick you up, give me your hand
I'll dance you through the flames!
Your swollen eyes, they'll see again
dancing through till the bitter end
I'll pick you up, give me your hand...
Give me your hand.

Needles
05:21
|

Palefaced I`m writing lines beacause of thoughts spinning around
About the past present and future, and solutions not yet found
How empty can one feel, on a train, just leaving your city...
This place reminds at times when we were allways side by side
We used to share present and future, and there was nothing left to hide
Now tell me how to feel, on a train, just leaving your city
When minutes grow to hours and a day feels like a year
When sweet turns into sour there`s no melody to hear
These needles in my nails, they seem to replace a kiss from you...
I`ll be waiting till the end, to walk this path with you my dear
You`re the best thing that has happened, and I wish that you were here
Please tell me you`re not sure that you leave, from now until forever. Forever...
When minutes grow to hours and a day feels like a year
When sweet turns into sour, suddenly I can`t see clear
These needles in my nails, they seem to replace a kiss from you...
It`s like facing darkest hours as all brightness turns to black
I`m stuck here on low power and cold shivers on my back
When minutes grow to hours and a day feels like a year
When sweet turns into sour, all at once I am sincere
This needles in my nails, they seem to replace a kiss from you
This needles in my nails, they seem to replace a kiss from you
A kiss from you
Say do you feel it too?

Second Of Peace
05:03
|
|||
Another night that's never ending
A thousand thoughts won't let me sleep
Unbearable. Inevitable facts are breaking me.
Am I still asleep and dreaming?
Or am I trapped in a bad joke?
Where's this clean air I was breathing
Where's the shattered glass that we broke...
As I slender through the wasteland, I am glad for every second of peace
As the jackals are howling, the walls are closing in
There still a quantum of substance in me
Lightyears way from understanding
my neighbors turn their heads away
Unreachable. Unreasonable acts of apathy...
Am I still asleep and dreaming?
Or am I trapped in a bad joke?
Where's this clean air I was breathing
Where's the shattered glass that we broke...
As I slender through the wasteland, I am glad for every second of peace
As the jackals are howling, the walls are closing in
There still a quantum of substance in me
As I slender through the wasteland, I am glad for every second of peace
As the jackals are howling, the walls are closing in
I'm looking forward to a time I will feel free...
Won't bow. Won't break.
Won't let crush myself. Im driven by your hate.
I'll conquer. I will fight until we have control
about our own lifes with some hope in our souls
Won't bow. Won't break.
Refuse to live a lie cause it's never too late.
Let us conquer. Let us fight until we have control
about our own life with some hope in our souls
As I slender through the wasteland, I am glad for every second of peace
As the jackals are howling, the walls are closing in...
there's a quantum of substance in me

Dummi Lüt söttsch dörfe ässe
i gseh jedä Tag geng gnue

Spirit
02:42

Where has all your spirit gone?
Stagnation time moves on and on
Once I thought you`d know the way
now tell now tell me where are we today
Spontanity can`t be described
by all those planed and wasted nights
I hate this fucking game your in...
Nothing to gain, nothing to win
Open eyes heart soul and mind and
stop pretending to be blind
Open eyes, heart, soul and mind
I need to breathe, I need to live
I`m giving all that I can give but
I can`t understand your fear
every time you pull me near
Summer`s over, nights are cold
“I`m feeling lonely poor and old”
This inner demon is chasing you
through toxic fogs you can`t see through
Open eyes heart soul and mind and
stop pretending to be blind
Open eyes, hear, soul and mind
Open eyes heart soul and mind and
stop pretending to be blind
Open eyes, heart, soul and mind
Where moral has left the building several years ago
And personal ideals were left behind
Where nothing seems important in this static flow
of submission, I am begging you to find a way to
Open eyes heart soul and mind and
stop pretending to be blind.
Open eyes, heart soul and mind

Plastic
05:46
|
|||
A ticking clock, a sudden sound
Pairs of eyes, staring holes in the ground
White or black. Shame or pride.
Fallen angels, in darkest nights...
Witnesses of a new and modern time
Alienation, existence equals crime
Oppressive waves of a ruling class arrived
Slaving days of silence, there`s just a whisper...
a whisper through the night
Buried under plastic, we seem to lose the way
Separate from each other we are wasting day by day
Acceptance, blind obedience. We slightly drift apart
and slowly fade away...
Time stands still. A sound again.
It`s getting louder, streams through the rain
I`m coming closer. Whispers turn to screams
It`s the sound of torment
Cause this is what we breed
I CAN`T RELATE TO THIS
When we were all willing in
to kill all reason within and acting like a machine?
We`re the people, we`re here,
We got the wrench and the gears would suddenly break
We`d be amazed how much there is to win
All silence can be broken
Cause nothing`s cut in stone
No vision can be taken
No force nor golden throne
Start to choose on your own.

Going On..
04:41
|

Woke up, it`s time to play
it seems to be a lovely day,
sun in my face is burning all bad mood away
I`m following the groove, it`s kinda softly, pretty smooth
A couple chords to light the fuse within me
Some words are stuck on the tip of my tongue and
some riffs are haunting me at night
but that`s the way that I `ve chosen to go through
and If it leads to trouble it will be alright... ;)
The bassline in my ear
suddenly the beat gets clear
On six strings I fly away and disappear
It`s starting to make sense, with a huge smile I rub my hands
It`s not that much, it`s just a tune and soon it ends
My fingers burn like my inner desire
And no one could take this away
I`m going on, nothing`s getting me higher than this
And no one could take this away
nothing`s getting me higher than this
No one could take this feeling away from me
This is where I belong
Without this it wouldn`t be fun...
