Tracks



01. War Is Peace

The prophecies came true
I witness the living proof
The world becomes as described in the fiction
The empty eyes stare at me
He's telling me war is peace
The course of events fits the description

The race has begun counting 3-2-1
Are you ready?

I'm not a star in your flag
But I'm expected to stand
For the blood thirsty cause of your forces
I cannot stay outside
There is no middle ground
No one can prevent things from changing

The battle has begun counting 3-2-1
Are you ready?

So run for your lives when it comes
We hail you dressed in rage
Cause only the insane will equate
Integrity with pain
Annihilate to liberate
Call your dogs of war
To account for
The hate, the disgrace you will now face
Cause we don't believe in the hype
About the land of the free
Where justice can be bought
Count zero

The signal is black and white
The evil personified
I'm looking at a face of catastrophy
The terror is unified
My vote is bought with the sight
Of the innocent cries
We've gotta make it right!

The race has begun counting 3-2-1
I'm ready!

I know I gotta do
What's right for me and you
I won't give up the hope, no
The dove has been shot down
The flowers stomped to the ground
But will always remain idealistic

The battle has begun counting 3-2-1
I'm ready

02. Water Is Getting High

I hear their laugh through the door
The little orphan in the hall
The figures dance on the floor
She's peeking in the corridor
Did everything I could
Poor little poor girl
I always played by the rules
Covered up in dirt

Truth or dare?
Are you scared yet?

I'll hold on to this little strand of hope
And know
One day I'll have a home to go

But now the water is getting high
I'm wading in my own demise
Ten feet to the sunshine
No other way out
The only way to save me
Is to do as they say, please
I've got to find it
I've got to find it
Fumbling in the dark
I can hear nothing but my heart
Beating in my mouth
Thumping in my ears
I wish I wasn't away
Blood rushing out of my ears
Tiny little gems
Light up the cave
I'm saved

Many promises were told
What made you think it's so?
The roads paved with gold
Your defence won't hold
I tried to be bold
Boo-hoo boo-hoo
The story unfolds
Who lied, who died?

All alone
Down in the hole I go

I'll hold on to this little strand of hope
And know
One day I'll have a home to go

But now the water is getting high
I'm wading in my own demise
Ten feet to the sunshine
No other way out
The only way to save me
Is to do as they say, please
I've got to find it
I've got to find it
Fumbling in the dark
I can hear nothing but my heart
Beating in my mouth
Thumping in my ears
I wish I wasn't away
Blood rushing out of my ears
Tiny little gems
Light up the cave
I'm saved

Save me

03. Our Will Against Their Will

Not as small as they think
No one's property
We're not here to please
We don't owe them anything
Noble is our cause
Justice our reward
I say upon my honor
The battle cannot be lost

Misleadingly it may seem
That their opponent is weak and feeble
But underneath
We have the willpower of steel
The insight, the heart and
The stomach of a king

It's our will against their will
It's our steel against their steel
And shortly
You will see how we separate
The men from the vermins
With your valor on the field
With your concord amongst your peers
We will claim a famous victory
Over the enemies of our righteous people

We are the righteous people

We are not here for disport
Defend our realm our home
And I think foul scorn
Of the invadors of our borders
Fear no sacrifice
Protect our kingdom's life
I lay down for my God
Live and die amongst you all

We're a diamond perfected under pressure
I assure you, we'll make our tyrants fearful
Even with our blood and guts in the dust
We'll continue to pursue what we feel that we must

It's our will against their will
It's our steel against their steel
And shortly
You will see how we separate the men from the vermin
With your valor on the field
With your concord amongst your peers
We will claim a famous victory
Over the enemies of our righteous people

We are the righteous people

Noble is our cause
Justice our reward
The battle cannot be lost

04. For My Loneliness I Pay

You keep me company when I get lonely
I have a reason to wake up in the morning
In my friends' eyes I begin to look different
In the sun I'm the center of attention

Pay pay pay
For my vanity I
Pay pay pay
For my loneliness I
Pay pay pay
For the trust I betrayed
Pay pay

Blue pill - Morning
White pill - Lady luck is smiling
Green pill - Evening
Red pill - I'm already dreaming

Golden shoes and a pretty little red dress
I'm dancing with the loved ones of the past days
In your presence I wanna do my best
For a while I feel that I still count for something

Pay pay pay
With my sanity I
Pay pay pay
With my dignity I
Pay pay pay
For the love that I crave
Pay pay

Blue pill - Morning
White pill - Lady luck is smiling
Green pill - Evening
Red pill - I'm already dreaming

Pay pay
Pay pay
Pay pay
Pay pay
With my sanity I
Pay pay pay
With my dignity I
Pay pay pay
For the love that I crave
Pay pay
On my lips I've held the taste of your name

05. Memory Loss

'The first time you feel like your standing on your own totally naked
I wanted to be a house wife for a little while and get all that out of my system,
And then, well, I knew that there was something missing'

Unrealistic, paper bag insulation
Dirty laundry, in daylight
I'm torn in two
Smugglers, burglars
Pushed back the limitations
Healthy, envy
Disappointment raffle

Finish their meal and grow bigger
The core cools down and gets thicker
Demolition setback, time will tell
If to live our lives is to burn in hell

Lighthouse gaze, peephole information
Life insurance, instant transformation
Contemplation
Suffocate the ripe the faint
World war programme
Pocket size solution

What a perfect life, we lied
In a naked light we hide
Sacrificed in an unknown land
The flowers died in our hands

"Then you know I kinda...you know showed everybody"

What a perfect life, we lied
In a naked light we hide
Sacrificed in an unknown land
The flowers died in our hands

Finish their meal and grow bigger
The core cools down and gets thicker
Demolition setback, time will tell
If to live our lives is to burn in hell

06. I Can't Tell The Sun From The Moon

Lock yourself behind an iron gate
To keep the intruders off your way
Sleep with a rifle in your bed
But still your screams keep you awake

'The madman's hiding in the night'
Searching for you
'The thieves are approaching your house'
Always out of sight
'The murderer's on the loose tonight'
Waiting for you
'Defend your piece of paradise'
Playtime's over

I can't tell the sun from the moon

All work and no play at all
Made Jack a dull little boy

Don't let the strangers know your name
Their smiling teeth have disappeared
Don't take the shortcut by the lake
Their eyes are following your way

'The madman's hiding in the night'
Storm is rising
'The thieves are approaching your house'
Shadows growing tall
'The murderer's on the loose tonight'
Hands are colder
'Defend your piece of paradise'
Playtime's over

I can't tell the sun from the moon

All work and no play at all
Made Jack a dull little boy

Here come a candle to light you to bed
Here come an angel to take you away

07. The Bong Song

You're my weakness
Little secret
I surrender to your kiss
Existence without you
Is a quiet solitude
Without these moments I'm hollow
An aching flame I have inside
Only your soothing can cool down

When the lights are out
When the city's silent the curtains go down
In your name I vow

Timeless grains of sand
Smell of distant lands
I drift away in your hands
Cleanse my impurities
Erase my memories
I lose myself and am born again
You are my sweetest obsession
I breathe away my distractions

When the lights are out
When the city's silent the curtains go down
I vow
Behind the hidden doors
On my hands and knees I am pleading for more
I'm yours
Bam-bam-bole

08. Corruption

Subject: Chaos Grin
Status: Mercenary
Have no fear, no feelings
Followers or leader
Guided by instinct
Fed by insecurity
Smell the sweet scent of opportunity

On my right sleeve
I carry
The signs of my ancestory
My left cheek still bleeding the kisses of my enemies
Availability
To the highest bidder is never cheap
Disposability
I have no use for long term loyalty

I'm their heroine
An answer to their prayers
Care and safety
From what they've done
What they've become
I'm their heroine
In a world of make-believe
I'll sort out everything
That they have done that they've become
And I know you know it

Subject: Chaos Grin
Status: Mercenary
Have no fear, no feelings
Followers or leader
Guided by instinct
Fed by insecurity
Smell the sweet scent of opportunity

See these leeches
Vein creatures
Treacherous dreamers
Arse lickers,
Power worshippers
Behaving like sheep
They are my prize pigs
My special treats
My favourite love buddies
Junkies, freaks
I sell them dreams
And milk them till they bleed

I'm their heroine
An answer to their prayers
Care and safety
From what they've done
What they've become
I'm their heroine
In a world of make-believe
I'll sort out everything
That they have done that they've become
And I know you know it

Dear God, what have I done today
I tried to behave
But I guess I failed

09. Hotel Alcatraz

Throw the stick and I'll run to pick it
Blindly believing the win-win deal is real
Still, all I'm dealing with is my own greed
Deceiving me
I wait for reward like a good corporate whore
Hungry for more, wanting it all
Well, no more
I don't recognise myself anymore

I've shouted till my throat is sore
Don't care who wins and who don't
The game's no longer on

Catch me!
Never, never can
Chase me!
Never, never
Grab me!
Never, never can
Face me!
Never, never

So it continues on and on
Bigger, faster, louder more and more
This race can never be won
Time being the only thing I can't afford
My soul is not for sale
I spit out the bait
Cause it's never too late
To check the time and date
To quit the chase
Rearrange the ways I operate

Clashing, irrational
My point of view may be out of fashion
But this protest comes with passion

Catch me!
Never, never can
Chase me!
Never, never
Grab me!
Never, never can
Face me!
Never, never

Fire, fire burn it down!
Fire, fire to the ground!

Unpredictable
Can't be controlled
My mind is not imprisoned anymore
I don't know where to go
Or what happens next
I'm perplexed
You seem vexed
No stress, we passed the test
This was never about excess
Nevertheless, I won't give up yet
I haven't run out of dreams
Never seazed to believe
And anxiously wait and see
What the future brings
Not again will I feel inside me
Deflated, empty
Now I speak, now I make the rules
Proudly carry my views like the family jewels
I won't justify my moves
Cause I'm immune
When I've got nothing to lose

Fire, fire burn it down!
Fire, fire to the ground!

10. Wonderland Sunrise

Hey, do you wanna play?
I'll show you a game that will blow you away
Take a leap of faith
So few are brave enough to go that way
Don't be afraid
Everyday is a sunny one here
Let's celebrate
As we dance on the graves of the mundane

Sun, moon and stars
Will guide our paths
Our faith no longer hangs around the
Necks of the men who killed the Christ
See all the damage they have done
Our work has only just begun
Against hypocracy

What do you say when I give you
Free love?
Free drugs?
Free thought?
Freedom?

Hey, do you wanna go
Down the rabbit hole
That so few of us knows of?
Where reason is a rubber ball
That bounces of our walls
Don't look so appalled
We' re all a bit bit crazy you know
Madness is the reward
When you've mastered the art of free fall

We are so proud to be the ones
Who killed the giants of the past
Fear is the gunpowder our history feeds to us
See all the damage it has done
Our work has only just begun
To crush decency

What do you say when I give you
Free love?
Free drugs?
Free thought?
Freedom?
