Spirit Rise

Day that colours fade
Deprived from their shine
I´m left drained of all strength
Empty days I´ve spent wallowing in unmerited self-pity
I want to sleep it all away
Seal me off and disappear
As the thought of tomorrow haunts me
I´m hanging on with everything I´ve got
I am ready to let go
Let my spirit rise
Leave this shell behind
I got lost in the aberrations of my mind
Let my spirit
Rise up like the tide that makes me slip
One step forward, two steps back
How long will it last this time?
I know it's never gone
Like the fucking tides it comes and goes
Sometimes tranquil ebb
Then riptide swallow cities whole
Rise until one day the flame of hope
Can drive away the darkest shadows
I feel that in me
I will find a way
I will find the light
I know it’s not the end

Not Giving Up
02:43
|

|
No more fear
But I can't stand this for too long
Things around me turn into dust
How do you cope with the high tempo things wither
Now I've got nothing left
I'm not giving up
I've come undone, but I'll repair
I can't fucking trust
A system of tyranny
Warmth is found only in places
Where chains are prepared for our souls
Raise the hammer high
Let the sickle shine
I promise you I'm fine
When I said no soul is lost
I was wrong
I'm not giving up
I've come undone, but I'll repair
I can't fucking trust
A system of tyranny
I cant fucking trust
a system of disgust
towards the beating hearts
I'm not giving up
I've come undone, but I'll repair
I can't fucking trust
A system of tyranny

Loyal Freedom Dogs
03:20
|
|||
|
I have been to the edge of the world
Seen the whole thing myself
Unaware of the dykes we had build
For the ocean of blood that’s been spilled
Sink low while prices go high
Freedom ain't absence of mind
Loyal Freedom Dogs
Everything is lost
Chasing waves one day you will drown
No wall around keeps me down
Wie Hunde in Ketten nach Freiheit sich streckend
Sie beißen, sie bellen bis zum Verrecken
Am Halsband in Farbe die edlen Plaketten
Das Blut aus der Ferne erspürt und verschreckt, denn
Wenn die Käfige erst offen sind
Dann ist Kleinlautheit ihr liebstes Kind
Chasing waves one day you will drown
No wall around keeps me down
Until all are free
No one is free
We are not free
We are still dreaming
I'll take it back
I will die screaming
Loyal Freedom Dogs
Everything is lost

I Hate Myself

I Hate Myself
I know why
Why am I feeling this way?
Why do my hands start to shake?
I’m feeding the sickness, grown numb to the cure
I lost control
One thought, two shots
Can’t stop, won’t stop
Why did I start to give up?
Why do the things we own always own us?
Do you see this through
The things you own are owning you
I give my everything away now I got nothing to obey
I am close to what is worth dying for
I hate myself, I know why
I´m feeding the sickness, grown numb to the cure
With all the bottled-up pain
Can´t keep the bottle down
Drowning my despair
Instead of breaking free
I am close to what is worth dying for
I hate myself, I know why
I slowly self destruct
To alleviate the agony of life

New Boston

Let's not compare scars
When it hurts where no one sees the blood
Let's appreciate the pain and admire
What's left of the perception of us being somewhat humane
The words don’t dare to crawl out of my mouth
Yet they‘re so desperately needed
Sometimes a fire desolates the wound
To cure, to hurt, to allow breathing
I’ll wait
If you forgive me let me know
I am a stone among equals
An incandescent landmark in decay and why am I falling?
As I grow cold and colder
Until the bleakness starts to burn
Gerechtigkeit lässt sich nur durch ein Verbrechen wiederherstellen
Ich will mich damit nicht der Verantwortung entziehen - im Gegenteil
Ich sterbe, weil ich meinen Fall zu Ende denke
Ich sterbe
You did ask for help
But I came from hell
Appeared as most appealing self
Malicious the spark that I held
But I came from hell

Reason Why I Live
04:29
|
|||
|
I’m here, here to stay
I found love somewhere on the way
So far, so far away
Another star dies everyday
I walk this path
And our gods have forsaken us
Life is beating me down
You are lifting me up
I know the reason why I live
I know the reason why I live
Came here, here to stay
Always knew I will fade away
In your arms I could stay
Until the wind takes me away
And when I take my last breath
I know I’ll be fine

No Excuses
03:00
|

|
I'm not good enough
You said to me
You were wrong
It was you
No excuses anymore
No goodbyes
The time is right
Through the lies, I'm getting closer to the light
No more of you
The things you do
Disgusting truth
I'm just forgetting you
It was you
No excuses anymore
But I know
No excuses, nowhere to go
Your obstacles made me jump high
Pushing through all the struggle and sacrifice
You can only fail if you stop
Every setback is a step further to the top
No more excuses, just try
Cause life is pain and then you die
I'm not good enough
You said to me
You were wrong
It was you
You must know
That I'm just forgetting, just forgetting you
It was you
No excuses anymore
But I know

Life Like Water
03:45

I've got this song
spinning through my drunken mind
Reminds me of the things I wish I said to you.
I’m at the place we've always been
I just want to feel something
Life like water, dreams like gin
I am
A coward, that's what I've become
A stranger is all I can be
A coward, will I turn and run?
Or stick to the truth I believe
The stranger, the coward I am
With me you´ll find
The same white lies I hide behind
I´m the same I´ve always been
Life like water dreams like Gin
I am
A coward, that's what I've become
A stranger is all I can be
A coward, will I turn and run?
Or stick to the truth I believe

There is no sense
Kill me again
I act in disobedience
Tie my hands
Send me to war
Beat me to death
I act in disobedience
One last chance
Only as far
As you make me go
I got no choice
But still I won’t lose
One last hope
From the ashes we can grow
This is more than you know
Than you bastards ever know
Start a fire, burn it down
Says a voice from the underground
Bring out the forces,
Beat me to death
I will die anyway if I don’t act
Walls you build
Break the clouds
Enemies will break it down
Thoughts become words
Turn out as lies
When we knock down your door
Will you still close your eyes?
One last hope
From the ashes we can grow
This is more than you know
Will you bastards ever know?
Start a fire, burn it down
Says a voice from the underground
(Rudi Schwarzer)
Beat me to death
Harder you piece of shit

We killed our own people. We killed people. We killed. Killed with ignorance, which isn't bliss...it makes us murderers. And it seems we are instinctively bound to keep this horrible truth from ourselves because no single human can truly understand or bear the weight of all that guilt.
Guilt, breeds shame, breeds repression then slowly dies. I see it all as one divine being, and look it dead in the eyes.
Who are we to hear this, we who are safe, we who have fostered complacency behind miles of concrete and bulletproof glass. We try to be happy, to be here and celebrate our survival, but for what reason did we remain?
We lost fathers, we lost sons, we lost mothers, daughters, friends and peers, but, more importantly, we have lost our common soul and I have lost my faith.
We build ladders in the rising seas to outrun the cause. Big enough for one, while the ones who didn't build, drowned.
We took water to put out the blazes that burned our homes, our belongings and the lung of the earth from the ones dying of thirst.
The ground shook and split beneath us and we all scattered. Still we never came together to close the open wound.
We heard the death rattle of all living things and believed that if we refuse to hear it, it's not making a sound.
We invented the Devils below and continued to dig for the same filthy gold that melted away with everything else.
I told you that I lost my faith, but remain believing one thing. Life can be both painful and wonderful, but the only certainty is that we will die someday.
This may seem morbid, but I believe it is a privilege to await one's death honourably over a long and complex life. Instead of being killed. A killing requires a killer, and I do not only believe that everyone of us is capable of it, I do further believe that we are all guilty.
We killed our own people. We killed people. We killed with ignorance and we killed with greed and hesitation. I see it now. And therefore there is nothing left to say but: Farewell.
