Tracks



01. The Brave!

Go ahead!
Go first!
Be brave!
Fortune favours the brave!

02. Go At Your Own Pave. That's What It's There For!

I felt the knife go deeper and deeper every time you looked me in the eyes
and weren't convinced from what I do.
You've turned away in times in those I needed you most
and scattered salt into the wounds.
You never made it easy for me to believe in myself, however,
my will was stronger and allowed me over and over again to do the right thing.
Limits are there to be outrun and I smiled like a winner every time I got one step closer.
The sun was shining on the back of my neck.
For a moment i felt like a king, that doesn't need his crown.
Now you look at me contently, why do I have to prove myself to you,
so that you look at me in this way?
Someday I will be where you are and I will do my best, not to make the same mistake.
It is the faith in the family which makes us strong, I will never forget!

03. Swingtime Is Good Time And Good Time Is Better Time!

We hunt, we prevail, we lose over and over again a piece of ourselves,
a piece of our life.
We seek, we beg, we strive for a place that we call home, only you will never arrive. (A circle never closing, a fulfilling moment, a farewell is all that remains)
Now my friend the wheel turns again and we both know there's no ending
and no beginning, only repeat.
Is it a waste, is it what we are, who are we, who are you?
I saw this world united and alone, I saw this world in shards,
I saw this world full of roses, I saw this world which broke me,
which allowed me to let out my emotions, which I will not grant anyone else,
I saw a world that I hate, that I loved and broke me, and now look at me,
I am still standing here and you know what, fuck you!
You will never break me! I'm long gone and all you try to do is campaign against my purgatory,
I am the god you searched, look up, I lived my life fucking dedicated,
I have tasted love and death, so what the fuck do you want from me?!

04. There Never Was An Aaron!

You can't stop broadcasting your lies, but is there anbody who still gives a fuck about you and what you're saying?
I've discovered the real you as I've seen your disgusting inside,
and I will make sure I wasn't the last to see.
Everything you've ever wanted was to profile around yourself,
and I will make sure I wasn't the last to see.
I've always tried not to listen when I heard the stories told and now there's nothing left to hold me back,
cause for way too long you carried the matters too far.
You've already dug your own grave, justice will preside over and you if you fall no one will be there to catch you, only hands that close the coffin.
I'm longing for the day when justice catches up with you.
This time has come - welcome this moment right now!
Get on your knees and spread the arms to be punished by the truth.
So how does it feel to stand on the other side of the knife?

05. Shit, I've Been Shot!

Drifting, pressure, pain, ambition is a virtue and is pushing me to the point where i ask myself why I'm carrying this weight.
What role do I play in life?
Why am i only a fish in the dead stream or is there more to it,
you tell me, you make sense!
You've gone away and have stepped out of my life, it is difficult to believe the end is a new beginning, and your end was the fucking end.
I have lost what I once loved, to believe you would still live, no, I lie to myself,
you have been dead to me for a long time...
Now I see you with illuminating eyes and do not recognise you, who are you?
...My god, I do not recognise you, you were everything I had and now every bit of you is an illusion.
You have gone, and I still see my life on going with you.
I am dead, since you have gone, I am dead, I am only an illusion.
We are the quiet whisper in this storm of full loneliness, we are the quiet helpers at the skys horizon, was that suppose to be it?!
I'm floating, awake the fire, awake the death, just awake something inside me,
so that I can understand that I am not quite dead!

06. You've Got To Decide Whether You're A Wolf Or A Sheep!

Welcome to a new age,
when people got more to say between the songs than in itself.
Platitude by platitude
and I'm tired of listening to that shit over and over again,
every single emotionless syllable has proven that you don't even believe that shit by yourself.
You claim to be something better,
you try so hard to separate yourself from the masses, but in the end you will fail.
Decisions make us who we are, so who the fuck are you?
This is the time to turn it into something more, my life has made count.
So I make a difference with my mind, I make a difference with my heart
And no one can take away, no one could ever take the passion out of me.
This is the only life i got, the only chance to make things right, and somehow when hands carry my body to the grave they will still see a man with his head held high.
