01. Events In Concealment

Nowadays the essential crimes of blue
Take place behind closed black doors
Unrevealed, at green tables discussed
To paint over the grey with colors

Their projectors are pointed at you
In the want of clearness they're undisturbed
Blinded by the gladly seen light
But appearences are deceptive cause they treat us like dirt

The cause are too extensive
Inference is disincentive
The consequences are insignificant
Signals too weak and population unobservant
We walk with blinkers in the corridor
Which is embraced from "causes-consequences-walls"
They are immaculated

You wear glasses with pink-tinted lenses
'Cause colored pictures set at rest the minds
They have an alibi and a clean slate
But if you look twice, dirt is what you'll find

They place the beautiful face into the foreground
For fear, so you don't see the flaggelated back
The mediums, the "subjective objectivity-support"
They hide and seek and thereby break our neck

The causes will be rash decided
From irresponsibility guided
The consequences won't be prevented
No opponents and noone who is reprehended
The walls which hug the corridor
Have indeed windows and doors
But you will be sobered
They are walled up

Do you know the paradisiac state ?
A state of programmed end
Paradoxical ongoings, ongoings are prevalent
Our conduct enforce a day
And this day is not pleasant
The cause for this "gift" are all the concealed events

The day will come when you're impeached for false pretence
And space will be filled with laughter
You know the paradisiac state
A state of programmed end
Paradoxial world, a world in retirement
Our conduct is typified, typified for discontent
Events are in concealment

02. The Deathwish

He stands at the abyss
And looks into the depth
Whispers in his brain want him
To make the final step
He sees his whole past life now
Passing in front of his eyes
He fears the second that would surely
Free from his life

A senseless life?
So full of doubt?
Is suicide the right way out?

He thinks about the reasons
Why he's standing here
The dull grey of his daily work
The solitude he can't bear
Intolerance and mistrust
Ignorance, apathy
Violence that rules the world
Greed, passivity

A senseless life?
So full of doubt?
Is suicide the right way out?

No!
Your escape - would that make sense?
Use your life to fight against this nuisance
A senseless life?
So full of doubt?
Is suicide the right way out?

However

The Deathwish remains
The Deathwish remains
The Deathwish remains
The Deathwish remains

04. N.L.Y.H.

The alarm clock rings, I open my eyes
And watch the yellowed white of my room's ceiling
The dull light of the dawn falls through my window
Raindrops are hitting the ground
The splattering sound promises me a day
Full of depressive thoughts
I torture myself out of bed
It's time to go to work

Live your life in your own way
Free and full of fun
Keep on smiling every day
Think - but never get depressed
Follow the golden rule
Never loose your humor, man
Never forget - N.L.Y.H.

The work today is like everytime
Tiring, boring and grey
Nine hours later I'm at home again
Time to have some food
Now I want to disperse my thoughts
So I switch on the TV
TV-clowns grin like they want to show
How good they have cleaned their teeth

Live your life in your own way
Free and full of fun
Keep on smiling every day
Think - but never get depressed
Follow the golden rule
Never loose your humor, man
Never forget - N.L.Y.H.

But the news
Confirms my thoughts of a sick world
Can't believe
What some men are able to do
Our fate
The future of a billion souls
Lays in
The hands of a few fools

Tired I switch off the TV
Time to go to bed
Tomorrow's day won't bring anything new
But nevertheless I'm glad
I think that I have recognized
The things for what they are
I'm alive and that's all that counts
I learned to laugh in the face of fear

Live your life in your own way
Free and full of fun
Keep on smiling every day
Think - but never get depressed
Follow the golden rule
Never loose your humor, man
Never forget - N.L.Y.H.

05. Watching The World

Look up to the sky
See the stars there, shining bright
Are they the aim
The aim we should all reach for
That launch us into space
But who thinks of the earth
Where our ancestors lie

We are so clever and arrogant
It's in our hands to change everything

Who thinks of the children
Killed by hunger and disease
What about the people
Slayed in stupid, senseless wars
We're always reaching
Just for money and success
But what will we buy
When there's nothing more to sell

We are so clever and arrogant
It's in our hands to change everything
Who's watching the world
Who's watching the world

Why can't we take
All our intelligence
To create something new
That's not determined to destroy ourselves
Who's to say that it can't be done

We are so clever and arrogant
It's in our hands to change everything
Who's watching the world
Who's watching the world

06. Narcotic

In the last time occurences guided me
To the land where the lie lives
It's sovereigns have to humbug us
In such a way that all men's thinking's growing stiff
Joining in the conversation, reforming the situation -
This epoch is too weak-willed for this
Lifeless end or endless life
Narcotics affect the senses

Melancholic dreams or hysterical faces
Fascinated in a state without preceptive faculty
Strength of purpose wearies and the complexion fades
Because manipulation's modern methods stamped from cruelty
You're just blinded by a dream that does not exist
You think that you will find your fortune
Appear this feeling? NO - feelings disappear
Narcotics signify gloom

Influxes are soporific
Physic and psychic narcotic
Lugubrious I guess I'm sick
Physic and psychic narcotic

At first sight the front's iridescent
Loss of sight but future's earsplitting
'Cause awfully the trombones will sound in the end

Consciousness is embedded in illusions
Which are incompetent to criticism
Shades of deception cover relected images
Reality is dimming and the untruth is rising
Sentiment is apathetic and argument just hypothetic
So all responsible men have an easy game
Illness of time and time of illness
Narcotics the braincells wane

Influxes are soporific
Physic and psychic narcotic
Lugubrious I guess I'm sick
Physic and psychic narcotic

At first sight coherence's not to see
Loss of sight earth's dirge frustrating me

I am under the impression that I suffocate
Some people feel passion but they don't premeditate
Addicted to their fashion not considering their fate
Mankind needs a lesson, it's imperative and not too late

The wise's providence affect anxiety neurosis
Event's concomitants affect a higher dosis
That is the prce we pay and we all know this
So the afterthought's evanescence entails narcosis

Narcotic
Soporific and despotic
Narcotic
I guess I'm sick
Narcotic

Pessimistic
Premonition
Pscyopathic
Politician

Persuasive
Propaganda
Paranoic
Perpetration

The proclamation of the real present predicament
Would cause people t recognize their passive behaviour
So we reached the point where we have to change our view
Lift the veil of concealed events - and above all -

Reconquer vigilance!!!

07. Machinery

I am walking through the streets
Of my old town
Looking back on the days
Of my youth
There are factories in the fields
Where we used to play
Clouds of smoke hang in the sky
And block out the sun

God bless this house, the car and the TV
Show us our idols in magazines
They build us prisons without any walls
Money rules we can't resist

Sankes of commercial TV
Decoy with their apples
False priests spit out their lies
Because God sells
If we don't pull ourselves
Out of this mud
Our children will have to pay
For our sins

God bless this house, the car and the TV
Show us our idols in magazines
They build us prisons without any walls
Money rules we can't resist
We're just wheels in a great
We're just wheels in a great
Machinery

Encircled and trapped by ourselves
We're enslaved to mass productions
Self-deception from a better life
Our behaviour brings corruption
We buy a pig in a poke
And we drown ourselves in the garbage

Supermarkets sell
Us their shit
We can't free ourselves
From this world of abuse

We're just wheels in a great
We're just wheels in a great
Machinery

08. Bureaucrazy

Pedantic and narrow-minded
Stiff and boring
Clean and synthetic
Short-sighted
Cowardly and lying
Pretending kindness
Shiny scum

In necessitation with bureaucrazy
I wield my weapon with one hand
I try to win the contest
Of one-legged people in kicking asses

I hate
I hate

Corrupted
Incredible and nervous
Insufferable and careless
Merciless
Inefficient
Impersonal and fussy
Needless
Useless
Mentally confused

In necessitation with bureaucrazy
I wield my weapon with one hand
I try to win the contest
Of one-legged people in kicking asses

I hate
I hate bureaucrazy

Pedantic and narrow-minded
Stiff and boring
Clean and synthetic
Short-sighted
Cowardly and lying
Pretending kindness

I hate
I hate
