Lyrics


1. BLACK HOLE

Ride off into sunset
Even in hours you won`t reach
Seconds fade into infinity
Where the parallels will meet

The clock strikes twelve
And nothing happens
Is it real or is it virtual?
The rhthym of the time

And the sun is burning
A black hole in my mind
While the earth is turning
Feels like I will go blind

Dna replication
The system`s self-organized
A virus creates fear
There`s nearly no protection

The clock strikes twelve
And nothing happens
Is it real or is it virtual?
The rhthym of the time

And the sun is burning
A black hole in my mind
While the earth is turning
Feels like I will go blind

People have a new religion
Science is it called
A synonym for industry
A new god for the world

The clock strikes twelve
And nothing happens
Is it real or is it virtual?
The rhthym of the time

And the sun is burning
A black hole in my mind
While the earth is turning
Feels like I will go blind


2. A NEW BEGINING

I can see the city lights
When I turn my head
A lake reflects the stars
But I won`t come back

The moon shines bright tonight
I can see the coast
Lighted ships right at anchor
Waiting for the head

Deep inside I`m still a child
A tear drops down and you will frown
A new beginning, maybe an end
Or is it something in between

All the friends I ever had
I will never see again
My old life fades away
Like a teardrop in the ocean

Deep inside I`m still a child
A tear drops down and you will frown
A new beginning, maybe an end
Or is it something in between

Don`t turn back follow the light
Go your way into a new day

I`m on the road again
Don`t know where to go
Without a name I search my fate
Down there in the darkness


3. THANKS FOR NOTHING

You are not born yet
But already so alone
That you can do nothing but sream
Nothing but pressure and no more help
Love isn`t subsisting
Hate is dominating

[Chorus]
There is not tenderness
There is just pain
There aren`t any words
There is just a cry

But you had your aim
Did it all for your aim
Beat all the pain
Didn`t lose your soul
Now you live your life
Pride is your dignity
And proudly you can say
Yhanks for nothing!

[Chorus]

You didn`t get any support
You didn`t get any help
They dropped you on the floor
They kicked you with their feet


4. ANIMALS

The character which we need
They live all in common
And without self-interest
But we kill them to get the cash
Don`t you think that is trash?

We respect the cunning of a fox
But our weekend trip is it`s death
We hunt them with happiness
And they never get away

We woul like to have
Nine lives of a cat
But we run it over - just once

We envy the birds
They are free what we wish to be
...What we wish to be
But we shoot at them
...We shoot at them

We love them and respect them
We hunt them and we shoot them
We keep them and we feed them
We hunt them and we kill them

Man is just a sly animal
Compare him with all others
And you will see, he couldn`t be a friend


5. THIS CIRCLE

The circle of the death and birth

Is the power of heaven and earth

You died old and weak

Later you played hide and seek


[Chorus]
The power of the circle
Will determinate your fate
Reincarnation´s gonna get you
Will decide about love and hate

You sat in a death-cell
Before you were a little child
You were born dead
After you committed suicide

Now you see, what´s fact
The wisdom of the universe
Lays in the hands of our acts
Our mind will never die


6. ALONE

In some days you`ll be alone
Have to manage all on your own
It`s the time when your parents are dead
Your friends are done and you feel upset

The days are grey and the nights are dark
So evertime you will need a spark
Without a spark you have no chance
It`s too dark to see the fence

This is the time of a change in your life
The ociean is deep but you are still alive

Hope is the name of the spark on your way
There is no one who asks you to stay
The way from the spark to a flame is so long
But this is the right way and not the wrong

At the end of of the way you have found what you search
You have nanaged your life with no need for a cheat
Now the days are light and you can see in the night
Then you have reached the end of your fight


7. SUSPENDED ANIMATION

Snapping at air, i woke up
I could´t see where i was
A smell of mould and nothing was seen
Groping for a hold, i realized my fate
They laid me down in a box
And threw it down into a grave
They just said i was dead
And obviously, i´m living jet

[Chorus]
Alive and dead?
Suspended animation
Buried alive?
Deadly condemnation

I´m crying now, but nobody´s there
The air is scanty, my voice is decreasing
My mind is confused
I´m knocking on the coffin
Thoughtless and entangled i accept my fate
I felt asleep, death was the diagnosis
I woke up - better i didn´t do this
I felt asleep, my body was cold
And i woke up in a deep dark hole


8. THE LAND OF MILK AND HONEY

Walking through a dirty rubbish-dump

They used to call it green wood

Breathing cold, polluted air

Acid rain devours trees bare


A tramp dies in an alley
A young man rapes a girl
Children are born without arms
Someone dies with leukaemia

[Chorus]
Come on, enjoy the world!
Try to ignore!
Close your eyes, don´t say a word!
Try it more!

Stop talking about diana´s curler
Ignoring is our murder
Why can´t man feel the fear?
Our system is out of gear


9. FUNKER VOGT

Sie haben dich gezogen
Und du wolltest es
Spiel ein bisschen krieg
Weil du ein deutscher bist
Sie haben nicht gelogen
Und du wusstest es
Ziehe in den krieg
Und feiere deinen sieg

[Chorus]
Funker vogt, funker vogt
Sei ein krieger
Stehe gerade für dein vaterland
Funker vogt, funker vogt
Kämpfe für deinen stolz
Sieh nach vorn und töte, um zu leben

Du sahst es als dein ziel
Denn sie wollten es
Wir üben jetzt den krieg
Als patriot für´s vaterland
Mit deinen kameraden
Ziehst du in ihren krieg
Mit kraft und stolz und ohne hirn
Zum sieg

[Chorus]
Funker vogt, funker vogt
Bist ein krieger
Du gibst alles für dein vaterland
Funker vogt, funker vogt
Kämpfst für ihren stolz
Marschiere los und töte für ihr land

Du musstest an die front
Und du wolltest es
Jetzt hast du deinen krieg
Nun zeig, dass du ein deutscher bist
Glaubtest nicht an deinen tod
Doch sie kriegten dich
Ohne angst und ohne zweifel
Starbst du für dein vaterland

[Chorus]
Funker vogt, funker vogt
Warst ein krieger
Wolltest alles für dein vaterland
Funker vogt, funker vogt
Kämpftest für dummen stolz
Funker vogt, funker vogt
Starbst als soldat


10. REMEMBER CHILDHOOD

There was a little child
Playing with its friends
They had a lot of toys
And nothing more than fun

They didn`t care for success
And had no tasks to master
Life was so easy to them
And just without any problems

[Chorus]
Where is the little child in you?
Where has your childhood gone?
Who is the man in the mirror?
And where is your peaceful fun?

Your im is success
Your life no fun
Work like a machine
Happiness is gone

Remember that you`re just a big child
Remember the time you lot your childhood
Remember the time before
Remember and enjoy it
