It's all about getting back on our feet again
It's all about averting our upcoming end
This is about you – this is about me
This is about arrogance and economy
We kill for oil
We pollute the sea and soil
We are unjustifiable
We waste our lifes - nothing changed
And with ill minds this life‘s chained
With different sights, divided, strange
No aim no goal – the seed that grows
It's all the same just call my name
Don't go away just stay in line
No plan at all where we shall go
Bite the hand that feeds us all
This is all to obtain with our technical progress
We divide ourselves into rich and poor
That will lead to nothing except envy, rage and murder
Furthermore we need to try for toconservate the nature
This is another emergency call - millions sent out before
Our system is faced with ruin
Does it really have to become even sore
We waste our lifes - nothing changed
And with ill minds this life‘s chained
With different sights, divided, strange
No aim no goal – the seed that grows
It's all the same just call my name
Don't go away just stay in line
No plan at all where we shall go
Bite the hand that feeds us all
The only way to see the day
Is hang yourself or shoot them down
I judge the day to realize
It's hard to stay - we're kicked and ashamed
Kill ‘em all – shoot ‘em down
Kill ‘em all – shoot ‘em down
We waste our lifes - nothing changed
And with ill minds this life‘s chained
With different sights, divided, strange
No aim no goal – the seed that grows
It's all the same just call my name
Don't go away just stay in line
No plan at all where we shall go
Bite the hand that feeds us all
I hate to say I told you so
This whole world is fucked and gone
How can we try to move on
If warnings are ignored
No one is listening
And no one will change at all
So many empty phrases
And hidden lies between there lines
Mark these words and listen up to make a change
That this world can become a better place to all
My open letter to the world
My open letter to the world

Afflicted by Tyrants

Continents are covered by ruthless dictators
Our fear is fueled like a psycho war
Governments corrupt and infiltrated
Purchased nations like a prison organized
Depressors created their lies
To control the masses
And forge a system that keeps us in line
Rigid with fear
A spark of hope
No way out
Fight till the end
Who is our true friend
A dance on a knife’s edge
Who can we trust
And who pays us
Who is our true friend
A dance on a knife’s edge
Who can we trust
And who pays us respect
No respect - this divides us like never before
No respect - no conscience, no way back
No respect - they divide us like never before
No respect - no conscience, no way back
We're the one you try to blame
Is everything just for the fame
As always - yes we have to pay
Offensive lies all you can pray
No doubt words are not enough
Prevarications - we're snuffed
Thrown in state - oh buck up
Perfect - shut up

Painted Green

What if I will never be the one
What if I can’t stand and every time I do
What if I will never be
Once and for all you never try to see
And I am the one I can’t explain
I am not the one who shares your blame
No one to try an every
Do you want to believe in me
It’s painted green this life
If you got some you’re alright
But in case you’re one of this fools
Doomed to crawl this fight
They spy everywhere on us
Their goal is total control
And how far will they go
And how much is enough
On the way to a new world full of wealth and money
Beaten and tortured by tormentors relentlessly
Only the one chance in mind
Life is hanging by a thread
Full of hope to escape only one goal
It’s the land of gold and honey
Yet sanctimonious appears
To be overwhelmed in this case
I can tell nobody
That was not foreseeable
It’s painted green this life
If you got some you’re alright
But in case you’re one of this fools
Doomed to crawl this fight
They spy everywhere on us
Their goal is total control
And how far will they go
And how much is enough
Finally, after endless ordeal the promised land in sight
After all the horror in the camps the unbearable ills
And the countless inhuman controls
A new enemy now shows his ugly face
The government of the European Union
Sold weapons to countries in Africa
And they were puzzled people to flee from their homes
Nobody can tell that was not foreseeable
It’s a law to twist the truth and the sentence is
Access denied
The sentence is
Access denied
Yet sanctimonious appears
To be overwhelmed in this case
I can tell nobody
That was not foreseeable
It’s painted green this life
If you got some you’re alright
But in case you’re one of this fools
Doomed to crawl this fight
They spy everywhere on us
Their goal is total control
And how far will they go
And how much is enough

Iceland Style

What is your motivation to get out of bed everyday
Is it greed for money or taking pleasure in betrayal
On the ones
The ones that trust you
A financial system built on sand
Consists of debts predestined to fail
And still the same game is on
Time to point it out the hard way
We will not safe your bubble
When it breaks the next time
So once upon a time on a little island
Repeat history
Let’s fight back – Iceland Style
And nothing happened
This island did not sink
Repeat this once again
Let’s fight back – Iceland Style
This was a choice for solidarity
Being independent, being free
What I want
What you want
What we want
Matters more than ever
We will not fight your war
Of rich against poor
So once upon a time on a little island
Repeat history
Let’s fight back – Iceland Style
And nothing happened
This island did not sink
Repeat this once again
Let’s fight back – Iceland Style
We bring it Iceland Style
Ready to rock’n roll
We bring it Iceland Style
Ready to rock’n roll
Ready to rock´n roll
Ready to rock´n roll
So better remember to stick to your promise
We´ll never have to pay
‘cause nothing happened
This is really Iceland Style

Preserve the Appearance
05:02

I want to get out of here
I can not see it anymore
How you live your life
How you act and denounce
Can not bear your lifestyle
Once and for all
Don't even ask
What's behind
Disgusting to me
I want to break out, just get out, impossible to unfurl
Have enough of everything that embodies your stupid world
Just want to be me without being recognized
Questions how I feel now mostly apparent now
Rules to preserve the appearance
No one even dares to ask
Manipulation
You gonna mind - you propagate
Even studied in colleges
Put the mob into its place
Bachelors and Masters preach doubtful success
This is a life in depression
When I see them today
We know the goal of your game
So we go through your fight
There I saw preparation
What I ever want to hear
We all circle the grave
What's that for
Always the same
Always the same
Like blind sheep following every given task
But I won't compete
Won't be a part of all of it
The disrespectful looks always take me down
And almost play the same game
That's what sets me off
I want to break out, just get out, impossible to unfurl
Have enough of everything that embodies your stupid world
Just want to be me without being recognized
Questions how I feel now mostly apparent now
Humiliate - push ‘em on - lead ‘em down
Business all day
Set them off
Forced and blamed
Forced theory about practice
Hierarchies and wrested
Worker's rights, fewest ask
That's what actually happens
True is our minds are massacred
For those who have questions
They lead a black list to sort ‘em out
In which you count as a threat
Mouth shut
You're dead

Two Minutes Hate

Governmental structures
Wer‘e fighting epic fights
Against so called democracy
And idividual's rights
All their acts devide us
To reach their long term goal
With undiminished cruelty
They're setting up new rules
Governmental power
Technical pursuit
They conjure up a curse
Our lifes under control
Cellphones tracking every step
Transmitters in new cars
Not far from being checked
While going to the vanity
Invasions of our privacy
A daily occurrence
No one fucking cares
Enemys shut up
Denigrated
Decapitated
Eradicated
Eliminated
Manipulation daily at nine
Resistance nipped in the bud
Repeated irrigation
Til the last slasher falls
Two minutes hate
Two minutes hate
Two minutes hate
The torture begins to work – 1984
Brainwashed and confused – 1984
We agree that
Two and two make five
All is lost
Two and two make five

A State of Brokenness
04:38

Who's got involved and who’s to blame
Investigations are always the same
Leaked into the sand the mighty ones win
With a smile they say goodbye to the scene
Perpetuate a state of brokenness
Arrested by your truth and righteousness
Let's be there in the end there is helplessness
Fuck it all – fight – back to genesis
You have no idea what's going on in us
There are a couple things I'd like to discuss
Confusion determines your tiresome game
No boundries, no concience you rob us without shame
Without shame
That‘s your game
All the same
We set a…
Driven by fear and losing everything
We‘re ready to do almost anything
To be a slave to one's habits
That everyone has learned from you
Anybody else that says anything else
Is a liar and guilty by the law
Enlightenment and truh is now the rule
Humanity urgently required
Without shame
That‘s your game
All the same
We set a…
I want you to regain
Your comradly sustain
I mean it‘s truly shaken
And almost all treads on spot
It's time to break out loud
For freedom and our rights
Can we achieve it or not
How we will ever know
Without shame
That‘s your game
All the same
We set a flame
Why hiding your fears
Let it all out
Show us the truth
The time‘s now
Let‘s open up your mind
Let‘s fight back and tear them down
Let them hear our voices
Finally stand up
And show them what they got
A state of brockenness willing to bleed
willing to bleed…

You tried to rear a new breed of new slaves
To execute your commands non questioning
For fear of a black future they'll enduring
And it seems that your plan goes on and works
If not do so as
This may solve your problem immediately
Lies - the pressure - keep it up against their blind lies
Lies - the pressure - keep it up against their blind lies
Lies - the pressure - keep it up against their blind lies
And if one day you must give in
And work for their rules
Then they got you
And they'll never let you out again
What ever you're try'in to do
They're one step ahead
The only answer that we have
Is to be on the streets
We have a chance to win
And if we‘re not goin‘ on the streets
To be there and make noise
They do what they want
Raise your voice against their war
Raise your voice against their war
For the world‘s capitalists
It´s like they‘re going to pay
Loose all their money and the
Government picks up the tax
This black swamp full of lies
This black swamp full of lies
This institution called society
A black swamp full of lies
Right here, directly in front of your feet
There's no escape when you registered
You better stay away
Completely taken
