1. DEAR MORTAL MAN

Are you listening?
Can you hear me?!
You are the one I´m talking to
So strong and intelligent
But your fears are holding you

Some fears objective and protecting
Most of the rest just an excuse
Holding brakes self generated
Vital spaces that you lose

You´ll never be free - you´ll never be!
You´ll never resume your liberty - you´ll never see!
You´ll never feel free - you´ll never feel!

You´ll never resume your liberty - you´ll never be!

The given life is only one
You live the dark and not the light
A prisoner at the open gate
Who fears the real life outside

And only in your dreams you live
Not brave enough to try
And every time you open your eyes
You start to think - and so you die!

And every time I die...

You´ll never be free - you´ll never be!
You´ll never resume your liberty - you´ll never see!
You´ll never feel free - you´ll never feel!
You´ll never resume your liberty - you´ll never be!

But don´t be sad it´s nothing bad
This is the nature of your kind
It´s not worth worrying about
"Live" on and don´t mind...

You´ll never be...
You´ll never resume your liberty - you´ll never see!
You´ll never feel free - you´ll never feel!
You´ll never resume your liberty - you´ll never be!


2. SUPERFICIAL

Wake up this morning
(The) damage is done
It is so boring
But it goes on and on
Life by itself
It's quite a job
"Mr." Bad Luck
Gives me a hug
My fucked up car
I have a mind to smash
Broken so far
Whoever else has had such a crash?
Seeing my life passing by...
That's not on! That's not on!
Seeing my life passing by...
Am I the last one? The rest is gone!
I hate all those people
I see on TV
They're talking bullshit
That's frustrating me
Now it's enough
I start to run
No time to bluff
No more having fun!
To waste one's time
With such a mud
Business crime
We have to stop!
Inside I feel cold
Thinking of this superficial world
Is this really everything we have to give?
Be a superstar and then: you are dismissed!
Do that what people like to see
Sell yourself, but don't come to me!
They rape your soul!
They kill your heart!
Never forget that you're nothing more
Than a small part.
It is so boring
Every morning
Life by itself
(The) damage is done
Seeing my life passing by...
That's not on! That's not on!
Seeing my life passing by...
Am I the last one? The rest is gone!


3. RISING TIDE

The first drop
No one recognizes
Another drop
No one cares
Still and slowly the level rises
As the filth has done before
Over ages higher and higher
Dark and deeper… more obscene

This time the rain won’t stop
We have had enough time

Time is over!
The world goes under!
And everything will be washed away
This time no last man standing!
This time no new beginning!
The rising tide

Too late the tears
Too late the prayers
Your faked remorse
Only comes from despair
No further chance
History speaks:
“Everything will be the same again”

We made mistakes
Countless, irreparable
Nature made only one
Will make up for it

Oh refreshing water
Oh purifying element

Time is over!
The world goes under!
And everything will be washed away
This time no last man standing!
This time no new beginning!
The rising tide


4. WHO

Who was the first?
Who'll be the last?
Who is the future?
Who's the past?
Who took my soul?
Who tells me lies?
Who can feel my rage?
Who holds the dice?
Who decides?
Who makes me a slave?
Who is the coward?

Who makes me laugh?
Who makes me cry?
Who is the future?
Who's the past?
Who'll see me live?
Who'll see me die?
Who tells me lies?
Who can hear me?
Who am I?


5. FINGER ON THE TRIGGER

Fear – the only thing to keep it real
“The permanent threat of being attacked”
“Fighting for peace” a senseless fact
Just stunning lies, we must react

Don’t you see?
They’ve got the finger on the trigger!
And pull the strings of madness
Like puppets of their will

Don’t you see?
They’ve got the finger on the trigger!
They try to tell you
On which side you have to be

With censorship they create fear
To cover what is real

War – just blood and corruption
It all ends in certain destruction
Power – in the wrong hands
Without control we have no chance

Don’t you see?
They’ve got the finger on the trigger!
And pull the strings of madness
Like puppets of their will

Don’t you see?
They’ve got the finger on the trigger!
They try to tell you
On which side you have to be

Money-their god, greed their religion
Committing atrocities – no restriction
Profit – the sense of life
Essential to survive

Use your anger towards them
Raise your fist and put up a fight
Before it is too late!


6. ENERGY

What we want
What we need

What we feel
What we need

What we live
What we need
Energy!

It is not only rebellion
Not only death, black, mutilation
Unworldly, stupid degeneration
This is expression

It is hate and love
Death and life
Pain and joy
Truth – not lies

The beats we love explosive
The keys we need corrosive
This is energy
Vocals that cause irritation
A sub intoxication
And a burning distortion

We don’t care what they say

Dark – Light
Silence – Sound

This is support in grief
Amplification of joy
Power for life
Power to survive

The beats we love explosive
The keys we need corrosive
This is energy! We want…
Vocals that cause irritation
A sub intoxication
And a burning distortion

What we want
What describes
What we need

What we feel
What invents
What we need

What we live
What drives on
What we need

We sing and describe our feelings in our way
And apart from this it’s simply fantastic

Together in pain
Together in joy
That’s our way
We say…

The beats we love explosive
The keys we need corrosive
This is energy! We want…
Vocals that cause irritation
A sub intoxication
And a burning distortion


7. THE PICTURE

Dawn of a new day
And you see that something has changed
Could this be true? Could this be true?
Could this be me? Could this be you?

Dawn of a new day
And you see that you’re still the same
Yes it is true! Yes it is true!
Yes it is me! Yes it is you!

I can see you and I feel you
I’m the dying – you will bleed too
Now you love me – you will hate me
You’re not alone – don’t forget me

And now you see me instead of you!
The hidden one that sneers at you
Recognize your soul – is going to die!

So wonderful
So beautiful
Immaculate
Impeccable
Pure

Am I your sin?
Am I your conscience?
Am I the loathsome?
Am I evidence?

I am the face of your soul
I am you – all in one

I will show you the grotesque
You shall see the thing
That you fancy only god can see
Your eyes – a cold flash
A new life – forgive us our sings

The knife so bright…

And now you see me instead of you!
The hidden one that sneers at you
Recognize your soul – is going to die!

So wonderful
So beautiful
Pure

I am the prayer that came true
I am the one that answered you
The gaol of your sin that reminds you
I am the picture, I am you!


8. HIGHER FASTER FURTHER

See the colors disappearing from day to day
No more fantasy so much getting grey
Everything’s become one
No variety required

The face is a number
We are becoming more slaves than ever
My face is a number

Is it will or obligation?
Do we want change or can we not?
Are we humans or are we not?!
Will you destroy or do you have to?
Will you destroy or do we have to?

Higher – there ain’t limits
Faster – not enough!
Further!
Everyone and everything is damned to see
To feel us
The god’s that us!

My face is a number
We are more slaves than ever
My face is a number

Some might be different
And sometimes everyone is
Are we humans or are not?!
The point is cause we are here there’s no other way
Humans remain humans have a look at history

History – there ain’t limits
Faster – not enough!
Further!
Everyone and everything is damned to see
To feel us
The god’s that’s us!

Higher – we borrow steady deeper
Faster – to a standstill
Further – back

We will be obscured in a world of light

We are upset, the system’s bad
We’re the system!
A man remains a man
See history
See today!


9. KINGS

Thousands of thoughts already turning
Countless millions coming after them
It is your time
You can chose
It’s under your control

“One day I will be crowned”
I’m not going to succumb!”
You think you get what you deserve
Think deep, deep, deep inside
Have you ever bled?
For how long?
Nothing is granted
You stand alone
Open your eyes

This is the time to react
Nothing is invincible
Scream it out
Face your goal
That one day we will sing along

Nothing is impossible!
We are – this is the proof
No fear to try
No fear to die
We can be kings!

I can’t do it
I’m not made for this
Just a dream of a silly child… So what?!
There is no hope

Shut up and burn, burn, burn
Burn down your lethargy
Scream it out, scream it out loud
Burn, burn, burn
Burn it down

This is the time to react
Nothing is invincible
Scream it out
Face your goal
That one day we will sing along

Nothing is impossible!
We are – this is the proof
No fear to try
No fear to die
We can be kings!

Yes I can do it
I am made for this
Give that little child a chance
There is still hope

Shut up and burn, burn, burn
Burn down your lethargy
Scream it out, scream it out loud
Burn, burn, burn
Burn it down

No fear to try
No fear to die
The aim to achieve
We are aiming high
It is your time
You can choose
It’s under your control!


10. TIME IS RUNNING OUT

I will break out – let me out!
Can no longer stay
All I had to say… said enough
Seasons past
Can no longer stay

No more peace for the soul here
No more peace for the heart here

The time is over
Too long, too much
Too cold, too blind
Too similar, too pulse less
Too ordinary, too humanly

Too reasonable, too altruistic
Too ingenious, too good

I must reach the point of no return
Die with a satisfied mind, or die trying

My time is running out!
I am screaming loud!
One time I’ll live before I die!

Too long tried to survive!
Now it’s death or life!
I will live before I die

This life is so hateful, this life is so painful
No one extinguishes the fire in me

If you just wait don’t try
If you just wait don’t die

I must reach the point of no return
Die with a satisfied mind, or die trying

My time is running out!
I am screaming loud!
One time I’ll live before I die!

Too long tried to survive!
Now it’s death or life!
I will live before I die!

Decide to live
Release your soul
Never lose your faith


11. INNOCENCE

(Instrumental)
