Work Faster 03:00
workers, robots without wires overworked and always tired constant fear of getting fired it's not easy getting hired watchful eye of the boss trying to avoid a loss unbareably monotonous that's what's left forus work faster! it's not just fun and talk work faster! I can see the way you walk
2.
Der Punka geht zum kyosk hin! Sieht vor ihm ne teutsche Kartoffel der sagt „Gib Bildung aus der Bild!“ Der Punka wünscht nen Knüppel her! [Refrain] Gib mir eine Bild! Gib mir ein Fernsehen! Massenverblödung! Massenverblödung! Kartoffel Eltern wolln nicht selba erziehn! Wir Kinder fanden glötzen öde die Steine warfen wir nicht von selbst die beste Bildung gibt’s auf der Straße! [Refrain] [Bridge] (Und wenn ich einmal alt bin) Die Jugend sitzt vor ihrem TV Die Jugend sitzt da und schaut sich Blöd! Die Jugend steht da, alle haltens Maul! Verdammte Scheiße, ich glaub ich häng mich auf! [Refrain]

The Mask 02:00
A million faces / vacant stares A million fractures / broken minds A calm stage mask / hides me it never faltures! [Refrain] Have you ever seen me really angry? When the mask cracks and shatters. Have you ever seen me really angry? Can‘t run far enough from myself! This police state / In my mind expressed emotions / ticking bombs clamp down on sympathy / clamp hard no mask without / tranquility [Refrain] [Bridge] No more false peace / No solution There is no future / except in struggle Break the floodgates / raw emotion Break my spine of / servitude [Refrain 2] You might never see me really angry, this mask was reforged with steel You might never see me really angry, this society could break us all!

Dark Ages 03:30
It‘s a miracle you‘re still alive after all the pranks they pulled. Got to change your color, to walk these streets in safety (I want to paint everything black) [Refrain] Are these the dark ages, or is this just some retro style The motion is to turn it all around Years after the colors have faded! The gargantuan houses are ampty in which the holy spirits dwelled but the gospel is vivid, rebirth in a stone that was cast (I want to burn out their spires) [Refrain, Bridge, Refrain] The walls keep getting higher cause the mason needs work the fire of Freedom must flourish the neighbors feed it with the unfree (I want to send them to space) [Refrain]

Black Bloc 03:41
walls of a blue menace! got you boxed in no escape from their attacks following you everywhere contolling every whim hands of the opressor tonfas at the ready when they storm at you cameras film every move but they don‘t speak the truth! [Refrain] what you gonna do when they come for you? join the black bloc! hate lashes at the rebels Even if you escape electric eyes follow you anonymity is scarce but the only way to fight! [Refrain] time can‘t heal this wounds born into this crazy world can‘t accept authority never follow any gods against all masters! [Refrain]

weiße tannen, dunkle pfade hohe berge, kalte schauer wechten brechen, lawinen rollen menschen sterben! das sind die alpen! der berg ruft und ich ruf zurück die zehen schreien die verse drückt den weg hoch, noch ein stück! der berg schreit gipfelglück kommst auf jeden berg mit bergführer brauchst keine kondition dank carbone keine ahnung von seiltechnik & material geh weg was du machst ist gefährlich! friss dein schnitzel sauf 10 Bier alles mit dem helikopter oben gletscher schmelzen, berge sterben! verkauf dein SUV du arschloch!
7.
I went to the city of yesterday and saw the tears of tomorrow rainfall like forests and men drinking stale pints of ale walking down the silver aisle I see the ships they leave the port rocket fuel and sailing cloth the travellers stories stay the best rainy days and orbits high leave no wishes to be granted Places burning, because of us Places burning no way out
8.
the spaceship stands on the plattform the engines ready, the coolant full it wants to run, it wants to fly the crew is dead, no one aboard maurice comes closer, he goes aboard he wants to leave, this dirtball of a world his team of rats are the perfect crew escape is nigh, countdown to zero [Refrain] maurice, space captain fly high to infinity maurice space captain the stars are the horizon the engines roar as the metal shifts clawing its way through the cloudy sky flames sputter as it arcs away from the ground to the highest altitude [Refrain] the captain steers, the goal is utopia where it is the frontier will reveal past the moons and into the void pin points of life all around [Refrain]

Eulogy 04:52
The place is near I am a weight where you would sit That holds them down the smile is gone They would rejoice I sit alone I dream of tombs A wait in vain I speak of death I need to know I see no substance where you are I feel no joy Hold Your Head High I Can‘t go on There is a future An End to this life I gave my hand You pushed and pulled I gave my smile You lead me on Was it enough I wasn‘t strong All that remains The razorblades AmVerse release the tears To numb the pain and finally ask That leaves the scar what we did wrong Remind me so stark Hold Your Head High I Can‘t go on There is a future An End to this life The grey clouds In lonely nights DmVerseStroke They flew away Moments of light we had a good time I had a good time I thought we did I fear you didn‘t Now you are gone Shattered pieces crash AmVerseStroke And I long Black swirls of thought For you to smile No more in my mind And dance with me No more for me Hold Your Head High I Can‘t go on There is a future An End to this life
