No time to wait for the light of God
We must break through the clouds that cover up the subjugation
All statues down that are showing the oppressor
in a noble gown
Tear it down
Yeah you were born into a palace of bones
And got to find a new home
If our language outlines our spirit
I guess we’re free to change it all
Can you hear our call?
Build from the ashes of yesterday
Our own IDENTITY
What shall we leave behind?
Oh this can not be the future for ...
Oh this shall not be the future for you - my love

All Hope Is Stranded
04:36
|

Can we ever just go back
to a fictional time when we’ve met?
Or even before that,
when there was no border set?
In our hearts, in our hearts
It’s splitting us apart
In our hearts, in our hearts
It’s splitting us apart
Oh I’ve seen the end
in the picture of a dead boy in the sand
No!
Everyone‘s a sinking stone
in a place so far from home
And no doubt must ever arise
You got to take the hand and save a life
Oh I’ve seen the end
in the picture of a dead boy in the sand
The end of everything that we did swear (to)
Without saying it, I thought that we did swear
that there’s no state in the middle of nowhere -
in the middle of the sea
All we are are human beings
All hope is stranded at the European shore

Somehow I’d love to see it all -
what’s gonna ram the nail into the bubble
cherishing the system?
Oh it has to die though I’d be a hunted animal
in a world without authorities
But what am I then? What am I now?
Everything feels so unnatural
All your dreams and all your needs are just
dog food for the algorithm
Where is an open door to another life?
You know ... there’s always been a strange lust
for being a savage in the postmodern wilderness
If here is now and now is here
we really don’t need to take all those pictures
Memories are made of broken hearts
You want the experience but you don’t want to wear a scar?!
Oh there’s no, no, no, no way to ever quantify
the value of a ghost song
Where is an open door to another life?
I know that we can arrive
and we’ll be kissed awake by the Petrichor
Love is our exhaustless field of ore
Can you name all the colors of the earth?
They will fade before we learn
Love is an open door to another life
I know that we can arrive and we’ll see:
Love is an open door to another life
I know that we can arrive at the other side

No More Charade
04:49
|
|||
The time is now to knock the table over
I’m not gonna ask for my place in the world
No, I’ll keep my smile - in coffee-white
The crooked teeth
I cannot hide
You’re not gonna meet someone on your way who’s telling you
if there’s a house at the end of the trail
The trail that you follow
You even forgot the day you started to walk
The trail that you follow ...
What made us choose a side at life’s crossroad?
If life feels like an interview
Well, you do exist and that are the answers to it
No more charade to play it safe
Why did you ever wait
for your lousy plan to be okayed?
You’re the sparkling icon of the idea that’s still unborn
You got to walk it alone
The trail that you follow
You even forgot the day you started to walk
The trail that you follow
What made us choose a side at life’s crossroad?

No, you’re right - it never got to anything
But I’m riding on and God won’t drop a hint
Sometimes I wish I could make you forget about me
I can do this shit to me but not to you so please ...
Destiny will turn out to be a joke
You blame anyone else
You pray to ghosts
Prepare your heart to leave me here
Leave me here, you know where I belong
Oh no and you can’t help me ‘cause we are alone

I Awoke In Boots
04:38
|
|||
I awoke in boots - soaked in rain, tears and booze
I blew up all chains - now I got no place and I got no name
I guess it’s time to save all remains of a dream about to die inside of me
Here comes the day
Put the void into shape
I know you’re scared
But please don’t hide your scarry face away
I know you’re scared
It’s true - you got to learn to walk again - a child again
But we all got our time and place on stage What will you say?
If you don’t believe in it the dream is gonna die –
it’s about to die
Here comes the day
Put the void into shape
I know your scared
But please don’t hide your scarry face away

Don’t you see me waitin’?
Everyone who’s still here is lost in the dark
And who’ll be around when I come down?
Shall we start a little fire
so we make it to the other side of night?
I see great potential in our unfamiliarity
It’s the only church, where we might both confess
Don’t you see me waitin’?
Everyone who’s still here is lost in the dark
And who’ll be around when I come down?
Help me to forget
and I’ll remind you to not feel regrets
No need to say - we can be anything
between a man or a woman
We’re in a safe place but it’ll die at first light
Don’t you see me waitin’?
Everyone who’s still here is lost in the dark
And who’ll be around when I come down?

Love exists in all times
Where are you? It’s keeping me alive
Instincts carry every bone
but it can not take me home anymore
It’s that time again when just a few men are in charge
It’s not the suits anymore
It’s anyone that has a gun and drives a car
Someone told me about the gate
I hope you made it to the gate in time
The mooing of a cow in my mind
The primal scream of Mother Earth dying
The voice of a friend - forever inside
but I’m talking to myself all the time
But time does not play a part anymore
We are at the core where time’s yet to be born
All is numb and all is blind Is it the tunnel to the afterlife?
Oh no it’s just the aftermath
It was written in the eyes of every child - the great escape plan
We felt the quake, we saw the wave but we just sat and waited
The ship is burning
The river’s dry
And we wave goodbye to the billionaires –
they’ve made it up to the sky
The rats are waiting for this age to go by
Love exists in all times Where are you? It’s keeping me alive
I have never seen the gate
Am I walking straight into the mouth of a lion?
We live, we die here under the moon
We’re staring at the very same moon
There is no wall between us and the moon
We are connected in an undestroyable way
If now is the time when it’s over
If now is the time - remember that you are not alone
You are not alone

Nowhere Near Tired
05:03
|

If I only knew what I am looking for
The mystery of the night - I can never get it solved
Projecting all my longing onto a stranger’s smile
My good friend said
„It’s alright - you’re nowhere near tired of living a life“
But if it needs one more try to see the truth about our love
If it needs one more „goodbye“ to feel the haunting loss
I’m in
Every stranger is a witness of a life unknown to me
What’s behind the doors? Who could wait here patiently?
Don’t give me a hundred lives -
I think it’d last for just about a hundred nights
Always wanting everything - the love, the fight, the dream
in a hundred love scenes
But if it needs one more try to see the truth about our love
If it needs one more „goodbye“ to feel the haunting loss
If you got to kick me out of the house
and I feel so relieved at first
If I need four more weeks before I hit the earthly ground again Are you in?
Laying there on the bathroom floor
I was so goddamn drunk - you would not believe
Cold sweat - another promise: dead
I was so goddamn drunk - you would not believe

Bat In The Sky
03:46
|

Oh I have found my salvation in a smile
Did you ever feel there’ll never come a better time?
We’re watching the bat in the sky and we can smell the fire
We’re watching the bat in the sky
All we need is more time to digest
All our thoughts piled up to a mess
I’ll miss every word you mispronounce
I’ll miss the sound of your voice - five-year-old voice
We’re watching the bat in the sky
and we can smell the fire
We’re watching the bat in the sky
All we need is more time
We’re watching the bat in the sky
and we can smell the fire
We’re listening to „Wish you were here“
All we need is more time
We’re watching the bat in the sky
and we can smell the fire
We’re watching the bat in the sky
All we need is more time

Focus On Your High
05:24
|

Who to be now that you’ve lost the ground of your belief?
I guess everyone is everything - a lover and a thief
And the rain is coming down
You didn’t know it’s what you need
You are not in control but still you’re standing on your wet feet
Put your hands off the wheel my friend - let’s focus on our high
The time ain’t come that we understand
and it’s not the day to try it
And the rain is coming down
You didn’t know it’s what you need
You are not in control but still you’re standing on your own feet
