1. ATTAK/RELOAD

Watching you
Floodlights seal your fate
Shallow breath
Quick pulse
Navigate
All this waiting, waiting
Contemplating you

Pure adrenaline emergency
You've been searching for signs
Now the truth has arrived
State control
Attak/reload

Theoretical illusory
Volunteer to the ultimate system of life
Brace the blow
Attak/reload

Molecular breakdown mutate below
Cause and effect to react and explode
Static rush
Gravitational pull of delirium

Close my eyes
Hear what you say
Got the guns
The power to take
Bomb the one
The one that slipped away…

Temper tantrum you communicate
It's your nature to be cold
Automatic how you operate
System failure
Brain control

Gravitational pull of delirium
Attak/reload
The one that slipped away
Attak/reload


2. SKURK

I don't need your contradictions
I'm not gonna play that role
I don't need you telling me
I've got my back against the wall
If all I've got is everything
And everything is all you want
If I give you just a little bit
You're gonna try to take it all

I feed my anger with the fucking bullshit that you preach
I bleed forever and not a thing you do can comfort me

Obey authority
Live in conformity
I do for you what you do for me

I don't fear the confrontation
I'm not afraid to take the fall
I'm not gonna step aside
I'm not letting you make the call
If everything is all I've got
And everything is what you want
If I give you just a little bit
You're gonna try to take it all

I feed my anger with the fucking bullshit that you preach
I bleed forever and not a thing you do can comfort me

Obey authority
Live in conformity
I do for you what you do for me


3. DIRTY

Just one call will cure it all
Take my toll and break my fall
Come and join my little war
You could be my broken whore

I do not need express excess
I do not need your sordid sex
I do not need to hear your cries
Squirming on the pin of ice
'cause you hurt me
When I'm dirty
Come on hurt me
'cause I'm dirty

Dirty
Heaven can't take me
Dirty
Hell don't care
Dirty
KMFDM
Dirty
Gonna take me there

KMFDM - Is your lie
KMFDM - Is your high
KMFDM - Gonna drink you dry
KMFDM - You'll crawl and die

Do you want
Do you pain
Do you need
In your vein
To release
To relapse
To reload
and collapse

A little joke
We're getting flirty
A bit of rope
And now we're dirty


4. URBAN MONKEY WARFARE

All you want is a scapegoat
All you want is to get absolution from shame
You have nothing to lose anymore
Never was anything worth to be lost in this war
In the first place
They make you hate their name
Prostrate yourself in the arena of blame
Nothing at all is left to be said
The flag's gone up and the dawn is red
Headed down the hard way
Concrete battleground
Urban monkey warfare
Sabotage
Underground
Camouflage
Man-monkey
Man-monkey
Man
Urban gorilla
All you know is reflection
All you know is the code to hack and crack
The truth lies buried in shallow graves
Who's afraid to claim it back
Headed down the hard way
Concrete battleground
Urban monkey warfare
Sabotage
Underground
Camouflage
Man-monkey
Man-monkey
Man
Urban gorilla


5. SAVE ME

If you don't know if you have found what you are looking for
The silver-lining always starts to fade
And what you don't know is that you don't know the truth anymore
Now you try sleeping in the bed you have made

The feeling is gone and the circle is broken
Like water under a burning bridge
A million words but nothing is spoken
A deafening silence replaced by fear

Save me
I can't find my way home
The grace I've fallen from
The only truth I've ever known

So when you tell me what you tell me
I can't take it anymore
The same old story goes around and around
You think that if you speak a little louder than you did before
The point you make might somehow stick around

If empathy is no more than a token
I cry a river in the pouring rain
The princess still sleeps but she will be woken
Her kiss of love is killing me

Save me
I can't find my way home
The ground I'm walking on
The only friend I've ever known

Mother father
The battle I fight is so far no one
No one but myself
Brother Sister
The devil inside is my own now
There's no way you could understand
You don't understand…

Save me
I can't find my way home
Save me

Mother father
The tears that you cry are for no one
No one but yourself
Brother Sister
I travel this road on my own now
There's no way you could understand

Save me
I can't find my way home
The grace I've fallen from
The only truth I've ever known
Save me
I can't find my way home
The ground I'm walking on
The only friend I've ever known


6. YOHOHO

Yohoho
And a bottle of rum
I'm in the gutter
But I've got the gun
Sixteen men
On a dead man's chest
A little lead
For a little rest

Go slow
On the torture-show
Go slow

Yohoho

Here's the fun
You get to go
I get to come

Six bold strokes
And no new jokes
The lost & found's
Your only hope

One's for shit
One's for shame
Now the hurt
Fans the flame

Pull me in
Drag me down
You can be the kapt'n
As we're tumbling
Always down

Always down
Fear not what you cant' see
The pulse
The pain
The ecstasy
A hollow space
An empty grave
The best laid plans are meant to fade

Here's the lard
In leather glove
Answered dreams
Straight from above

One's for shit
One's for shame
Now the hurt
Fans the flame

Pull me in
Drang me down
You can be the kapt'n
As we're tumbling
Always down

Go slow
Go slow
Go slow
Always down

Go slow
On the torture-show
Go slow
Always down

Yohoho
And a bottle of rum
Sixteen men
On a dead man's chest

Go slow
On the torture-show
You can be the kapt'n
As we're tumbling
Always down


7. SUPERHERO

You're so wonderful
Apple of everyone's eye
You're so clever
Multimillion-dollar smile

The world is your oyster and pearls are fun
Share them with everyone that you love
And you love everyone always all of the time

Missing link you eat your own dear
Bird of prey you can't control
In your world perception
Hazy

Connection
Precise
Cave in
Bow to the other side

You're a superhero
Demigod
No one anywhere anytime any which way but you
If the mirror speaks the truth we must aspire
And work harder to be like you
'cause anything goes when you're a star
Anything goes when you're a star

Regal elegant
You are bewitching and wild
Fifteen minutes a lifetime
They just don't apply

Shudder to think it could ever be true
That anyone else is as lovely as you
You bear the name and the linage that we desire

You're a superhero
Demigod

In the shutterbug-flash you look fabulous
With Your made-to-order plastic-mask
You look so divine
You look so divine

You look so divine
You look so divine
You're a superhero
Demigod


8. STURM & DRANG

You make and break your own restrictions
You write and prove Your own revisions
You become new

You sweat and bleed pure fascination
You thrive upon disintegration
You break through

The truth the lies all fabrications
Only You control your destination
You are what You do

You put aside your resolution
You dig into a new conclusion
You become new

You revel in the de-construction
You feel Your mind become a weapon
You break through

Wiederaufbau und vernichtung
Wirklichkeit und heldendichtung
Edle wahrheit und legende
KMFDM zum bittere

Sturm & drang
Dir gehoren
Sturm & drang
Kunst erleben
Sturm & drang
Neu und fremd
Sturm & drang
Mein KMFDM


9. PREACH/PERVERT

Blackened blood that stains this bed
My sweet addiction I thee wed
You will work
I will win
I will drink in all your sin
Till gallon drunk I hit the ground
Your reason rhymes with pence & pounds
Money makes morality
Your dividends
My decency

You will condemn
I'll convert
You will preach
I will pervert

Condemn!
Convert!
You preach
Pervert!

Your cheapest cut is sweet corrosion
The interest due is never frozen
Pass the bill
Have your thrill
There's a pill for all your ills

You will condemn
I'll convert
You will preach
I will pervert

Condemn!
Convert!
You preach
Pervert!


10. RISEN

A full three sixty
A complete return
With no excuses
And no concerns
The ultra-heavy-beat
Is going strong
If it feels this good
Then it can't be wrong

Karma
Echo
Eternity
What's good for you
Is still good for me
And after all
We're not looking back
We manipulate the future
To stay on track

Damned if you do
And damned if you don't
You better seize the moment
Before it's gone
The ultra-heavy-beat
Goes on and on
When it's all said and done
This is what you want

The vision
Direction
Reflecting
Perfection
The manifesto
Translates post-mortem
Buried alive
And left for dead
One step back
Is two steps ahead

Rise! - From the ashes and decay
Rise! - From the prison of your grave
Rise! - Above the standard and the norm
Rise! - Into the eye of the storm

Rise!
Raise the flag
Carry the flame
The more things change
The more the stay the same
The king is dead
Long live the king
Mayhem
Riot
Uprising

A small step for mankind
A giant leap for a rock'n'roll
We control the rhythm
The beat cops are on patrol
Wake up people
Get on your feet
It's time to do your part
For the ultra-heavy-beat

Shoulder to shoulder
Back to back
All guns ablaze
Systematic attak
Strong and rigid
Bold and vivid
Spread the news
The ego has landed

Metal detectors
Drug tests
Curfews
Don't let the system
Continue to rape you
Vodka and benzene
Destroy the machines
The glorious end justifies the means

Rise! - From the ashes and decay
Rise! - From the prison of your grave
Rise! - Above the standard and the norm
Rise! - Into the eye of the storm


11. SLEEP

Don't say you can't
Just do what I would do for you
You watch my back
And I'll be there to cover you

Do as I say
And never question what I do
Two feet away
There's trouble closing in on you

Close my heavy eyes now
Give me sleep
I travel trouble oceans
Across the land and sea

Close my heavy eyes now
Give me sleep

Written and Composed by: Lucia Cifarelli & Sascha Konietzko
