„The aim of a travel“
How do i get colors in your face again?
I´m gonna save you a smile.
Quieter and quieter everyday in the end.
But the sun will be with us for a while.
I guess the half way feel like a replay
It’s just up to you
Only a farewell opens this freeway
Unawared but true
The aim of a travel
Is not to bring you home at first
The aim of a travel
Is not to bring you home fast
Let´s emigrate, let´s sneak away
Let´s just grow out of our grey nest
We chased the colors wherever they may
Or must have gone before in the past
Because you flash so brightly tonight
It’s now up to us both
Dark thoughts seems just like black light
Around ourselves and things most
The aim of the travel
Is not to bring you home last
The aim of the travel
Is to split with the past
Alright babe,
I'm taken of anything
And yet full of hope
The sun will be our companion
for a long time to come
Let´s resettle where no one can drive us out
Let the colours be our banner
And hope our fanfare
Which gets quieter and quieter in the distance
And finally leaves everything behind
Finally what there was so colorless yesterday

„People from 1st row“
What are these people in the first row?
What are they like nobody else?
They’re looking straight disconnected although
We´re bound to ourselves
So we´re not alone
We are people in 1st row
We are just at home here
It’s open now the play has begun
nobody knows since when and how long
Bring all the children to the show in front
We want to sing along
So we´re not alone
We are people in 1st row
When it all comes down tonight
Light, noise and vice
Form into the magic of a simple mind
And enrich so familiarly
To the rows behind.

„Waiting for the worst to come“
The trial you will always loose in attempt
The try you’ll lose before you’re once at hand
Is negotiation
And Trying to invite the truth
Is emancipation
Of beauty that’s not in you.
Or is it waiting for the worst to come
If we gonna stay
who we are now all the wrong in one
´cause we do not care
You and I can try to do the same
To them and to us at the same time without blame
Renaissance
Try to pick out what’s good
Reconnaissance
Try to get away from the blues
Or do we waiting for the worst to come
If we gonna stay
in the same room closing out everyone
´cause we´re afraid to share

„donkey island“
I´m not a real good friend
But i´m not your enemy either
Only your dark consciousness
Only your last listener
Only your lonely heart
Greedy for some restless death
I am not in your head
Not in your body - not in your cock
I´m just your last black conscience
like a lifelong old parent
Just an evil sibling
Greedy for what you have left
Instead of life
Sad and brutal violent to you
Instead of pain
I´m moshing you with me again
Instead of joy
Kissed and beaten with light
I once knew you too well
the first gray in your eyesight

but me

„But me“
At night after the end I was asked
why did anything go down the drain that fast
Suddenly all triggers are pulled at last
Unlike the rest who no one would join
I´m not showing them either that i´m a normal prick
Yes I like to wear trousers though I don’t have a dick.
But me
Will be a minor me
What´s going wrong - so wrong
I love to eat your meat
Although i´m not a hunter - it ´s still a fantasy.
My house, my car, my boat now is my family
Even though i´m the only one out here
I don´t see the point what should that change be good for
It was always like that and no ones here anymore
But me
Is a minority now
What’s going wrong - so wrong

„Pilgrim days“
Well i´m back attracted by your sadness
Of regret drawing pilgrims across the land
They’re still singing like a horde of harlequins
Easy words easy ways just to blind the men
i´m here now but
It’s good been away this whole long while
And now i´m here with my short memories of you
And more shortcuts to get away the Blues
I was on your side
When we both apologized
The world out there has changed
Let´s be both a part of it.
In the midst of autumn of our souls
strengthen the suspicion all untrue and fake
And therefore just like ridiculous goals
To save yourself and the world - a good comrade
Ladies,
It’s good been away this whole long while
And now i´m here with my short vision of love
And more detours to an unknown path
I was on your side
When we both apologized
The world out there has changed
Let´s be a part of it.
Do you care of the soundscape of a prejudice
Then you might join the blinded pilgrims tonight
Alright?
Who cries is not right
Who cries is always right

„Do we have to celebrate this“
An old fisher woke up and saw the sky was getting clean
He rolled over in his bed, fell asleep in strange dream
He dreamed he was the great lord
And had three sons
The 1st was big and tall
But also scared and intense
He loved his father so dearly that he forgave him all his mistakes
But since he was afraid to fail, he wanted to get rid of his hand
He asked the 2nd son
To take part cause he himself was too scared
But the middle brother was unspoiled and trusted all
Therefore also the 3rd one - that nobody cared
And the 3rd son just smiled and his eyes startet to shine
Like stars in the sky. he suddenly felt divine.
And yet it was he who devised how to start
Cause he was the laziest but although quiet smart
The next morning the fisher was dead
Never went out to sea
And the fish rejoiced in the cool water
But tell me if we were fish:
Do we have to celebrate this
Like there is no tomorrow left
Do we have to celebrate this
like there is no tomorrow yet

„Stay in tune“
We are back in the war
against the bondage of the mind.
We no longer want to be part
of your poverty.
What else has to happen
in order to finally be free from fears?
Look at us: we have our army of flies with us.
What are we willing to give for a touch of regret?
We're in a glass house and tell us about our lonely lives
Of endless nights on the banks of the Styx
Without money for the crossing.
We drink ourselves to sleep with sweet memories
And bad faith that it will never be the same again.
The longer we travel at the front sing our songs
After 2 weeks you are immune against the scent of others.
After 5 days you lose your sense of smell
against your own stench.
Start after a month
the angels and demons take turns singing:
From life after death in the front rows.
So carefree with no memory and no return.
Come here you people and be amazed
Very our daring maneuvers
in the ideal world above your heads.
Join in the singing
Of the many sad, dumb souls
Out there outside the window on the street.
You are all laughing slaves too!
We drink ourselves to sleep with sweet memories
And bad faith that it will never be the same again.
The longer we travel at the front sing our songs
After 2 weeks you are immune against the scent of others.

„Masks of the asleep“
When I see you in my dreams
It feels so far from what it has been
But you look still like the one that broke
Cleanly my heart into good and mean
But I know that
When life falls down asleep
It’s gone but also so filled with love
but it´s like fallen asleep
It’s wrong but it’s feels so clean inside
Love hidden like a sake
And truth grows out of the insane
And desperation bows the head
With wide-eyed, bloody breath
This mask that you wear did it give you a name
was it rage or is it still goodwill
One last barrel loaded with sin
Still one step ahead with fiery mane
But I know that´s
When life falls down asleep
It’s quiet but also so deep in love
but it´s like fallen asleep
It’s wrong but it’s feels so clean inside
Love hidden like a sake
And truth grows out of the insane
And desperation bows the head
With wide-eyed, bloody breath
but I know it's hard
we all wearing these masks
so get along with it
I´ll get along with it now
