1. THE RACE

Once I had a pet
A tiny little rat
I saw him running every day...
In a treadmill set up in his cage
I thought he was stupid
When he was racing himself
He was trying to beat the opponent
Running in front of him

Racing against disabilities
Competing with no chance to win
Never finding anything in my career
To please myself for more than a week

The rat was killed unnaturally
His heart just didn't take it right
An unsolved race was left behind
He could never reach his own tail
I must have forgotten the message
Since I am doing the same thing
I may have some goals in between
But I'll also never get in the end

Racing against disabilities
Competing with no chance to win
Never finding anything in my career
To please myself for more than a week

Can I really stop some day?
Can my mind take it right?
The standards around are saying:
"Stopping means losing!"

I can remember it now...
Why do I race again?
It is to accomplish more glory...
Without any mercy for myself?

Racing against disabilities
Competing with no chance to win
Never finding anything in my career
To please myself for more than a week


2. HOW THE HATE BREEDS

Here we stand being proud of ourselves
We have created a technical bliss
Should we now finally go inside
The dark side of our every day life?

How the hate breeds?
Is it counterforce for love,
Or growing from some invisible seeds?

Appliances are keeping us alive
Medication can strengthen our weaker sides
Still the hate dominates
It rapes, it kills with no respect

How the hate breeds?
Is it counterforce for love,
Or growing from some invisible seeds?

Death by senseless violence
Killed by acts of hate
Will there be a day...
When do we start to respect the steps we take?

Appliances are keeping us alive
Medication can strengthen our weaker sides
Still the hate dominates
It rapes, it kills with no respect

Here we stand being proud of ourselves
We have created a technical bliss
Should we now finally go inside
The more dark side of our every day life?

How the hate breeds?
Is it counterforce for love,
Or growing from some invisible seeds?

Death by senseless violence
Killed by acts of hate
Will there be a day...
When do we start to respect the steps we take?

When do we start to respect the steps we take?


3. SCARRED

Thou shall not scare me
Thee won't be able to wound
Yet, by some bizarre way
I shall be hurt once more again
The fright of getting injured
When people are close by

Scarred for being scared
Not scared enough to remain non-scarred

Thou shall not scare me
Thee won't be able to wound
Too blind to hide
From the total fear inside
Slashed from outside
The wounds will heal
But internal scars are being kept
To remind from the ignorance around

Scarred for being scared
Not scared enough to remain non-scarred
A way to heal the obsolete wounds
To make some space for the ulcers to come

Could there be an answer?
Do I find the cause from me?
Am I too scared to get scarred,
To allow anyone even nearby?

Now I have an answer to all these hard questions
It's all so bright and clear, we won't be able to live
I am destined to be afraid
Humanity equals cruelty


4. ENSLAVEMENT

We are getting orders from above
We all are doing our best to obey

No real message is given in between
Assumptions must be taken
There are only some written hints
We must be able to commit

We are getting orders from above
We all are doing our best to obey again

No real message is given in between
Assumptions must be taken
There is way too much information
Than one single mind can understand

Responsibility is never shared
Everything must be taken without a single chew

One fine day it must be noticed
One should never think by himself

Enslaved, in pain!
Enslaved until the bitter end

Asking more questions
Getting more obscure answers
There's no fucking way
To know everything!
