elements (let it rain)
ship of fools
scapegoat
phone calls from nowhere
not yet an island
nothing at all
on a butterfly´s wings
stronger
betrayal
the gold hat
i feel good
promised land
cocoon 2k6
ELEMENTS (LET IT RAIN)
the sea is just water
and a rock just a stone
combined a landscape
that makes me feel lost and alone
a cloud is an aerial island
and the sky just a space
combined they cast shadows
form darkness that falls on my face
So let it rain
down on me
on a lazy day by the sea
let it rain
teardrops make no sound
unless they fall on barren ground
so let it rain down on me...
A flame is a light
fire that flickers and burns
in the heart of a lover
and dies when tide turns
The soil that we´re buried in
the ground that we walk
the land we inherit
dry like words we no longer talk
So let it rain...
The emptiness between us
the bitterness of silence
hearts bare of emotions
The hall of souls emptied by violence
So let it rain...
SHIP
OF FOOLS
where were you when the storm broke
where were you in the thunder and rain
did you think of the villians
is the man in the moon sad again
I am sick of your talking
got enough of your laughter and lies
oh, I curse you, false prophets
you are sirens in brilliant disguise
All the ships that went down
the ones we lost when they ran aground
all the tears that we cried
we remember
Ship of fools, ship of fools, ship of fools....
set the sails, my companions
set a course to the island of hope
we might maybe not get there
a fair chance with a harbour in scope
what´s it worth to be a sailor here
when there´s no waters to sail, no women, no beer
what´s it worth to sail to islands
that the waters have washed away?
All the ships that went down....
SCAPEGOAT
Now I second your opinion
but I will not take the blame
A fraction of a second
of momentary fame
being second can mean losing
with two players in the game
(but don´t assign me the perfect role of)
SCAPEGOAT!
We once were friends and close companions
best mates, confidantes and more
you were an idol and a hero
a person I just had to adore
but then she came and turned our world around
infected you and changed you mind
her poisoned tongue spit lies all around her
she made quite clear she´s none of our kind
Now I second your opinion
It´s not the world that´s changed, it´s
you
that doesn´t change the more you deny
I hope your happy now on your little isle
rest in peace until you die
Now I second your opinion...
PHONE CALLS FROM NOWHERE
Thoughts
(keep rushing through my head
keep telling me I´m mad
I can hear your thoughts through wires)
Thoughts
(they penetrate my brain
convince me I´m insane
I can hear your thoughts through wires)
Thoughts through wires
my desires
I can hear your thoughts
These phone calls from nowhere
I don´t understand a word you say
(but I can hear your thoughts)
thoughts they haunt me
a presence of a man I used to be
that ringing in my head
I question all the things you said
you have the choice
vocal tracks beneath the white noise
Thoughts...
static hiss in my ear
that laughter of a giant pear
a multitude of sounds
from beneath these wooden grounds
Thoughts...
the hum of panicking bees
revenue reserves, strange currencies
you can´t hang up on me
drowning in the streets of DC
Thoughts...
NOT YET AN ISLAND
to see you cry
for such good reason
to hear you sigh
of utter treason
to understand the ghosts that haunt you
and reluctantly resign
if I could move
the barricades that break you
if I could soothe
the storm that shakes you
I would fight for it with all my might
a better world to find
a stone that´s not yet an island
but all to break the raging sea
a place to rest and reconsider
a place to be
my favourite place to be
if i could light
the flame of hope again
if I could fight
the revolving stages of mayhem
I would sacrifice my life and burn
a tortured soul to rise today
a stone that´s not yet an island...
if I could lie with you
on greenest meadows
i I could cast a spell
that bans the shadows
my wizardry revealing love
and love to conquer all
to lie with you
beneath a clear blue sky
to sniff the air
your smell that makes me high
we cannot be but giants
that rise, but never fall
NOTHING AT ALL
He gave his heart
for all the right reasons
he stripped his soul
in winter season
he gained a life
and lost another
and now he´s thinking
if to bother
he always knew
that life is full of letdowns
but never thought
that he´d be on the rebound
hypocrites
never understand it
that love is just
what comes out if you bend it
Lying under crimson skies
a thing is born before it dies
when love meets hate, it´s agony
when hate prevails, a prophecy
don´t tell me it means nothing at all...
she was aware
that he was just a makeshift
an easy prey
a victim without uplift
no remorse
no reconsideration
no looking back
the train has left the station
he was the straw
so easy to be clutched at
and yet so weak
he´d never realize that
until the day
the strings he was attached to
made him stumble
and fall into his own brew
a splintering heart
breaks in a thousand pieces
will you collect them? will you reject them?
or throw it all away?
Lying under crimson skies...
I ask myself
is this the way that life is
a path of treason
a journey full of mischief
a winding road
closed for reconstruction
a one way street
with one way interaction?
Lying under crimson skies...
ON A BUTTERFLY´S WINGS
It´s a well known story
Derived from chaos theory
That a butterfly can cause turmoil
on safe land and raging sea
Though it may seem like fiction
Though it may seem like far from real
I´ve seen it with my own eyes
I can´t believe the way I feel
On a butterfly s wings we will fly
(´til the storm blows it all away)
On a butterfly s wings we will try
(though the night and through the day)
Regardless where the storm will lead us
Or how far I may fall
Though the butterfly may be guilty
It may feel no guilt at all
It´s been a long time
Since I locked my heart away
And it´s such a fine line
That we´re walking on today
Beauty´s on the outside
Or that´s what I thought for long
Someone glowing from the inside
Makes the outside look look wring
On a butterfly s wings we will fly...
STRONGER
The world is big when you are down again
And so much smaller when you stand
Almost stops turning when you run away
Remains in motion in the end
You are taller than you thought
You are stronger than you ought
You a re brighter than the light
Guiding me through darkest night
Your eyes deeper than the sea
You turn around and look at me
Never let me down again
You are stronger….
The swing of things and what the future brings
So uncontrollable this ride
We´re little ships that ride the sea of time
Helplessly riding with the tide
Love comes in mysterious ways
Will we ever understand
Love don´t ask for it´s price
Do we really need to understand?
And in the end we all will understand
The only thing that counts is now
Forgotten are doubt and all that keeps us down
Seems so irrelevant somehow
You are taller than you thought....
BETRAYAL (Extract from "Theory
of a Mass Murder")
Did you ever really love me
Or was it just a game
Picked me up and let me fall
Like a puppet, who´s to blame
How could I think you´re honest
Is there anyone so dumb?
You betrayed me and abused me
Here´s your slaughter, you´re the lamb
With murder in my eyes
And a knife in my hand
The way to eternity is short
And paved with your betrayal
Your betrayal….
Sweetness follows, rest assured
When the pain has gone away
I will free you from your sins
I will take your grief away
Do not thank me, no, no need to
It´s a pleasure to be of aid
I will gladly charge you nothing
You couldn´t afford the price I payed
With murder in my eyes...
Do you agree, you feel relief?
You rest in peace and go to hell
Your heart is pumping in my hands
I feel good, hah, see your blood well
You´re more than beautiful than ever
With your porcelain skin
Bare of blood and bare of breath
You never though that I would win
With murder in my eyes...
THE GOLD HAT
Sometimes the words I find
Are not enough
Sometimes the tears I cry
Are not enough
Sometimes the words that our ancestors found
Are well enough
Sometimes my voice
Says enough
Sometimes my eyes
Are warm enough
Sometimes my love
Is love enough... a hat of gold
Then wear the gold hat
If that will move her
If you can bounce
Bounce for her , too
Till she cry lover
Gold hatted, high-bouncing lover
I must have you.
Sometimes a smile
Is well enough
Sometimes a picture frame
Reminds enough
Sometimes the sound
Of a wise man´s voice
Is well enough
The green light at the end of the bay
Reminds me of where I was
And where I want to go today….
Sometimes my voice
Says enough
Sometimes my eyes
Are warm enough
Sometimes my love
Is love enough... a hat of gold
I FEEL GOOD
Open up, speak your mind
will you tell me the truth
I have talked so many times
about the feelings I had
If you ask me how I feel
here on my side of the deal
for the state of my thoughts
I feel good, so good, so good
Is a kiss just a kiss
or a promise to keep
hold me tight, hold me safe
and the rest will come easily
If you ask me how I feel
here on my side of the deal
for the state of my thoughts
I feel good, so good, so good
I don´t know what will come
ain´t no prophet, no seer
But I don´t mind, I don´t care
just let things flow easily
If you ask me how I feel
here on my side of the deal
for the state of my thoughts
I feel good, so good, so good
PROMISED
LAND
The seed is sown, the fruit has grown
Our future generations can survive
To remain free, the will to be
a part of something bigger than this land
Take my hand
won´t you understand
that you and I
can walk into the promised land
forget your fears
won´t you dry all your tears
the past is past
a future in a promised land
We gaze at stars, we dream of bars
of travelling the world that we inherited
Some borders crossed, some frontiers lost
but the enemies they do still look the same to me
Take my hand
won´t you understand
that you and I
can walk into the promised land
forget your fears
won´t you dry all your tears
the past is past
a future in a promised land
COCOON 2K6
we have built a house of cards
so instable from the start
can you tell me right from wrong
can you sing the same old song
watch the newsflash
watch them fall
fading beauty once so tall
feel so naked and alone
The cocoon crashed
from one day to another it crashed
The cocoon crashed...
Is religion reason enough
how much hatred concers love
sudden silence much too loud
the cocoon crashed
We know safet is a good
there´s a thing misunderstood
there´s no safety anywhere
that´s a burden hard to bear
Power lies in the smallest things
when the bell of freedom rings
we return to what we know
The cocoon crashed
from one day to another it crashed
The cocoon crashed...
from Ground Zero
to every hero
despite all our pain
we will not, no we will not
let terror reign
when you go....
I will not lie down
not lie to the ground
i will not retreat
not in deepest heat
