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

Massenverblödung
03:04
|
|||
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]

Der Berg Ruft
03:39
|
|||
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!

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

Maurice, Space Captain
04:34
|
|||
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
