01. Heaven Inside

Music & lyrics by Bastian Emig
Hey - disincentive mind
Stop your dashin' kind!
Your spoken word put into effect!

It is hard to find
Supporting strength behind
An innocent filled with blame
Let me be!

Just tell me?
Why-
Would I need to tie
My heart to your broken
Wings to touch the sky?
Try -
To reach me on high
Without a word spoken
Cowards just don't fly!

Hey - stop to sadden my heart
Stop to take it apart
Must identify all I am

I got heaven 'side
Won't be classified
By your fucked up and
Unfounded blame
Let me be!

Just tell me?
Why-
Would I need to tie
My heart to your broken
Wings to touch the sky?
Try -
To reach me on high
Without a word spoken
Cowards just don't fly!

You're wearing down my heart
You're wearing down my heart
Let me go - to be
Let me go - set me free
Let me be - let me go!

The broken wings never fly!

Why -
Would I need to tie
My heart to your broken
Wings to touch the sky?
Try -
To reach me on high
Without a word spoken
Cowards just don't fly!

02. Pandemonium

Music & lyrics by Bastian Emig
Missing time -
No more sense, no centerline
Uptight and driven mad
Undulating my way?

Pandemonium is raging in my head
I'm a victim of self-created brain defect!
Insecurity is rising constantly -
Close to insanity?

Lunatic dreams -
They are hunting me, so it seems!
Unsure 'bout what is real?
Try to cut them off straight away!

Pandemonium is raging in my head
I'm a victim of self-created brain defect!
Insecurity is rising constantly -
Close to insanity?

No! Line!
No line !
No centerline!
Hey yeah -
No centerline, no centerline, no centerline!
No centerline -

Missing time?
No centerline?
No no more centerline -
Missing time -
No more sense, no more centerline -
Uptight and driven mad!
Undulated my way?

Pandemonium is raging in my head
I'm a victim of self-created brain defect!
Insecurity is rising constantly -
Close to insanity?

03. Elekbö

Music & lyrics by Bastian Emig
Hankering - is gripping way too tight
My body heat - 113 Fahrenheit
Infuckinsanity -
Tries to drag my mind in fight
Refuckinality -
On point of vanishing from sight

A raging thirst -
I cannot slake it in my plight
My blood disperses -
I'm acidifying inside!

I disobey the call of receptivity -
My body punishes hard - my disloyalty!

I can't resist no more - free falling me?

(Background choir)
Ah - close to eternity -
Yeah - today I'm alive!

Feeling eternity so close
Could be my last decisive dose
Hearing my curtain call
Today I'm alive

Hate intends my will
To give in to temptation
To stop my fall - supply myself
With fleeting levitation!

I disobey the call of receptivity -
My body punnishes hard - my disloyalty!

I can't resist no more - free falling me?

Feeling eternity so close
Could be my last decisive dose
Hearing my curtain call
Today I'm alive

Don't wanna take my final dose -
My body feels like comatose
I will at last metamorphose
My eternal rest so close!

Hate!
My fucked up hate!

I can't resist no more - free falling?

Feeling eternity so close
Could be my last decisive dose
Hearing my curtain call
Today I'm alive

04. At Her Side

Music & lyrics by Bastian Emig
She smells the rain before it touches my skin
She can hear single drops falling down
Shouts out my name into the hard blowing wind
She's the sail, braves the storm, feels the ground

Come on
Singing an angel this sweet melody
Come on
Sing with me all along
She's the rhythm - the groove underneath
Sing with me - sing along!

Of all the girls she's more than just one of them
She's the bright side of life - wild at heart
How would I like to let her know I feel safe
At her side when it rains way too hard

So come on
Singing an angel this sweet melody
Come on, sing with me all along
She's the rhythm - the groove underneath
Sing with me - sing along!
Sing with me - sing along!

And the priests keep praying lies
No matter what it takes -
Her faith is her self-created guide
Not the rain - not the blame
Nothing pulls her down
To me the more they pray - the more they say
Her shelter makes my day
She's an independent natural
The bright side of my life - wild at heart!

She smells the rain before it touches my skin
She can hear single drops falling down?

So come on
Singing an angel this sweet melody
Come on, sing with me all along
She's the rhythm - the groove underneath
Sing with me - sing along!
Sing with me - sing along!

05. Vortex

Music & lyrics by Bastian Emig
Welcome to: Our raving show!
We are lunatic and beyond control
We want you all to mosh with us!
We break the silence and you taste dust -

You know the game - there ain't no rules

The drumming tornado
I'm the vortex generating super operator

Oh, I wanna be with you!

Are you prepared for the last circlepit?!

Come on and join the game!
We're up to go insane!

Oh, I wanna be with you!

06. Life Is Up To You

Music & lyrics by Bastian Emig
Feels like a bona-fide fool
Poisoned by their words
Life is what you do?
No one taught my way!

Won't you be free?
Free of other's will -
Life is what you do?

Won't you be forever free?

Oh - realize
Life is up to you!

I never wanted to be
I never wanted to be
The thing they wanted to make of me
I never wanted their damn mercy

I never ever obey
I never ever obey
I never ever will go astray
'cause I'm aware of all I am!

I got a voice inside -
My own bijective guide
A lifelong leading line
Appealing to my heart not to resign
I got a voice inside -
My own protective light
Guiding me straight to the core!

Hold on - stay
Hold on to your way
Life is up to you!

I never wanted to be
I never wanted to be
The thing they wanted to make of me
I never wanted their damn mercy

I never ever obey
I never ever obey
I never ever will go astray
'cause I'm aware of all I am!

The road you walk is your esprit
No matter where you're going -
Stay the way you are!
Won't you be free -
What are you waiting for?!
Come make your day!
Make yourself!
Make your life!
Right away!
I wanna fill your soul!

I never wanted to be
I never wanted to be
The thing they wanted to make of me
I never wanted their damn mercy

I never ever obey
I never ever obey
I never ever will go astray
'cause I'm aware of all I am!

07. The Healer (Inclusive Remedy)

Music & lyrics by Bastian Emig
Wake up - dare to fly!
Shout out your battle cry!
This is your own reply
To all those suckers in you way!
Never fear - listen up!

I am not your eyes anymore -
I am not your heart to explore -
You got a life to realize
You got yourself to idealize
You're the deputy of all of your dreams!

So - too long trailed behind
You're sick of being kind!
To all those suckers in your way
Never fear - blow'em away!

I am not your eyes anymore -
I am not your heart to explore -
You got a life to realize
You got yourself to idealize
You're the deputy of all of your dreams!

Oh- with a wing down?
You're way too weak!
With a wing down?
Your heart's too bleak
Never fear - be self-made!
You got all your reasons
To use all your wings and
To fly like a bat out of hell!

I am not your eyes anymore -
I am not your heart to explore -
You got a life to realize
You got yourself to idealize
You're the deputy of all of your dreams!

08. Yue

Music by Bastian Emig
[Instrumental]

09. Soul Apart

Music & lyrics by Bastian Emig
The people anxious to avoid mistakes
Until the weakest is about to break
Then they're pretending being so amazed
At how some people never keep their face

They for sure feel that way:

Got a broken heart
Got a broken soul
Got to stand apart
In that deep black hole!

Human
Error
They for sure feel that way:

Got a broken heart
Got a broken soul
Got to stand apart
In that deep black hole!

And my heart -
Don't want to stand no more
Apart - no?
No more away -
Don't wanna stand - no
No more
No longer more
Apart

No one stands apart!

Got a broken heart
Got a broken soul
Got to stand apart
In that deep black hole!

10. Stardust

Music & lyrics by Bastian Emig
What does it matter if I cry?
It's more than I can put into tears -
So why?
My hope is shattered - I'm broken
Tomorrow's just a place beyond my reach -
Why should I?
I'm away?

From the mountains
Clear as sunlight
I come to rescue
I'm the white knight
On my way to
Your salvation
To save a kingdom's, a queen's delight!

Down in a hole - abandoned
It's like your heart is going to cave in
High and dry?
But in the end there's a spirit
Spirit away all your fears
Out of your heart - take my hand!

From the mountains
Clear as sunlight
I come to rescue
I'm the white knight
On my way to
Your salvation
To save a kingdom's, a queen's delight!

Dark Lord

(Fight the) Dark Lord
(Once your) Heart's gored
(With his) Dark sword

Valor

(I'm your) Valor
(When you're) Vapor
(I'm your) Savior

Here she comes?
Here I am!
Turn(s) night to day
Won't you be my sanity
And end this shadow play?
Won't you please release my mind
And I want you to
Soothe by your singing
I will listen the praise of life!

From the mountains
Clear as sunlight
I come to rescue
I'm the white knight
On my way to
Your salvation
To save a kingdom's, a queen's delight!

11. A Hanging Matter

Music & lyrics by Bastian Emig
When the stranger came to town
He didn't mean to cause disconcertment
He never really had a chance since
Nonconformity
Was their reason to break down
His well-pleased independence
'cause it didn't quite comply
With their own life-understanding

Look, he's sent to the gallows
He stands up straight and sings:

Yeah -
Bless yourself
You'll never take
Nor will you make
My spirit break

(And) all the people looking blank
Not a single soul objecting
As the freethinker's head sank while
Re-established truth

Did stabilize their peace
Suppressing the distracting
But evil begets evil -
So they can't suppress his tune

He stands up straight and sings -

Yeah -
Bless yourself
You'll never take
Nor will you make
My spirit break

People that we are -
They are the people that we are -
The fuckin' people that we are?

And so he sings:
Can't you -
Can't you see that my heart's so pure?

Yeah -
Bless yourself
You'll never take
Nor will you make
My spirit break

12. Prestinate

Music & lyrics by Bastian Emig
(Your lies do hurt - she's crying!)
Letting her bleed away!
All right?
Get off that fuckin' way!
You gotta send her a light
To be seen in the dawn
Of your pathetic way
Of acting lonely in distance
The language you told her
Once was that one from the heart -
Now it's gone with your head?
Your lies do hurt - she's crying!

Feeling her worries
You don't care!
Guiding her love with your lies?
Feeling her leaving
Sudden cares?
Losin' your love, your disguise!

Letting her bleed away?
Get off that fuckin' way!
You gotta send her a light
To be seen in the dawn
Of your pathetic way
Of acting lonely in distance
The language you told her
Once was that one from the heart -
Now it's gone with your head?
Your lies do hurt - she's crying!

Feeling her worries
You don't care!
Guiding her love with your lies?
Feeling her leaving
Sudden cares?
Losin' your love, your disguise!

Hey!
Why do you waste your time?!
Why don't you love yourself?!
Why do you save your fucking pain?!
This life, is your way
And it's offered by a power
Don't you dare to give it back before to try
Keep track!
You're a liar -
Why don't you face her the truth of your heart?
You're a coward -
You're such a coward -
You stupid coward -
You stupid coward -
You fuckin' coward -
Your lies do hurt - she's crying!

Feeling her worries
You don't care!
Guiding her love with your lies?
Feeling her leaving
Sudden cares?
Losin' your love, your disguise!

13. Heya

Music & lyrics by Bastian Emig
Take up the fight for your personal aim
Go get possession of the ball in your game
The people's living's anyway not the same
So get yourself back in the ring!
Come bid defiance to your own common sense
Give up your habbit just to speak in defense
Your own potential is so fuckin' immense
So get yourself back in the ring!
Come on -
Don't call it your dream,
But make it your life!
Say hey, 2, 3, 4:

Heya -
You're the lodestar
So don't you dare to lose your aim
Hold on to all what you are -
'cause you are godsend!

It's your decision what you're living for
If you're a doer or a people's whore
If it's a never- or forevermore
So get yourself back in the ring!
Hey!
You think it's nonsense, no, I disagree!
The lord Himself gave you His warranty
That if you trust Him He's of certainty
So get yourself back in the ring!
Come on -
Don't call it your dream,
But make it your life!
Say hey, 2, 3, 4:

Heya -
You're the lodestar
So don't you dare to lose your aim
Hold on to all what you are -
'cause you are godsend!

Why don't you just come off your doubt?
Relieving all your mind -
Secure your confidence by choosing to be fine!
You can rely on Him to bail you out
His love is deep affined,
Why don't you overcome your fear and start to shine?
Don't call it your dream,
But make it your life!
Say hey, 2, 3, 4:

Heya -
You're the lodestar
So don't you dare to lose your aim
Hold on to all what you are -
'cause you are godsend!

14. Universe

Music & lyrics by Bastian Emig
The life that we shared
Is the life that I know
Is the thing that I miss
Since you had to go

Colours are fading
As clouds rolling by?
Did you know they call me a fool?

Universe is dying
And I want to fade with you away
Universe is dying
And I want to fade with you away

Gone with the wind
Your name left behind
I don't want to stay and remain colourblind
So come on, my love!
You gotta come back to life
For I no longer want to be a fool!

Universe is dying
And I want to fade with you away
Universe is dying
And I want to fade with you away

I will
Let go
Of you
Won't sail
Behind
The wind
The wind carrying you

I will
Let go
Of you
And my
Heart
Won't be in the way!

All of you gone with the wind!

Universe is dying?
And I want to fade - with you
Away?

Fade with you away!

Universe is dying
And I want to fade with you away
Universe is dying
And I want to fade with you away

I will
Let go
Of you
Won't sail
Behind
The wind
The wind carrying you

I will
Let go
Of you
And my
Heart
Won't be in your way!

15. Me Against A Wall

Music & lyrics by Bastian Emig
That is me against a massive wall
Try to face the fact that I can't get passed at all
In between my blank despair as high
As this damn wall looms up straight against the sky

Standing there alone
The distance to my own -
Heart is like an infinite unknown?

Pervaded with light
Imbued with all my might
Cascading inside
Straight into my core

I suddenly realize the tragedy:
I am the stonework's building detainee
I'm feeding it with every brick I set
The bricks for their part made of things I want to
Forget?

Standing there alone
The distance to my own -
Heart is like an infinite unknown?

Pervaded with light
Imbued with all my might
Cascading inside
Straight into my core

No, no more way
Don't wanna pull it down!
No, no more way
Don't wanna pull it down!
Don't want it, no more way
To pull it down!

Standing all alone?

Standing there alone
The distance to my own -
Heart is like an infinite -
An infinite unknown?
Standing there alone
The distance to my own -
Heart is like an infinite unknown

Pervaded with light
Imbued with all my might
Cascading inside
Straight into my core
