Tracks



01. We Are The Many

You've gotta be fucking kidding me!?
We are one voice - One heart!

You sound like a broken record
Different words for the same old lies
You know we'll be the ones who suffer
You gain power while we pay the price

Every time you open your mouth, you spread a disease!
You try to make us voiceless, you try to make us believe, (but?)

We are the many
Like drops of water
Alone we are nothing
Together we're crushing

We are the many
Like a plague of locusts
Alone we are nothing
Together we're crushing
We are the many!
Alone we are nothing
Together we're crushing!
We are one voice - One heart!

Any disaster is very welcome
In the darkest days you promise the sun
Like the savior of a world in debris?
Yeah right, you've gotta be fucking kidding me!?

We are the many
Like drops of water
Alone we are nothing
Together we're crushing

We are the many
Like a plague of locusts
Alone we are nothing
Together we're crushing
We are the many!
Alone we are nothing
Together we're crushing!
We are one voice - One heart!

02. The Bogeyman

The bogeyman is waiting in the shadows of your dreams
You're afraid to fall asleep
You're awake 'til you're too weak
Come sweetie come it's bogey time, let me in and you'll be mine.

This pain I bottled up inside
This pain you'll never know
This pain that's accusing you. My scars don't even begin to show
Your soul is broken and can never be mend
You are trapped in a silent cage

Come Sweetie, Come!
Come sweetie come it's bogey time, let me in and you'll be mine
Run sweetie run, cry and fade, this will be your last serenade
Run, Cry, Fight, Die?

This pain I bottled up inside
This pain you'll never know
This pain that's accusing you
My scars don't even begin to show
Here comes the bogeyman - penetrates your dreams
Here comes the bogeyman -
Taking white -
Giving red

03. Memorial

This is a memorial
To honor the long gone
This is a burial
My heaven has gone wrong.

These times we had so long ago
Like yesterday!
I miss 'em so much
I can't let go.

My heart is full of hate,
It's bleeding out!
Father, I have to say goodbye,
To keep myself alive.

I can still see you,
You're fading away but
I can still feel you,
But you're drifting away from me
(away from me)
You're drifting away!

This is a memorial
To honor the long gone
This is a burial
My heaven has gone wrong.

Are you still here still in this place?
What's left behind, where's God grace?
You broke my faith

My heart is full of hate
It's bleeding out
Father I have to say goodbye
To keep myself alive

I can still see you,
You're fading away but
I can still feel you,
Don't you drifting away from me.
(away from me)
You're drifting away!

"my heart is aching, that's all i know
Hope is fading, i let you go."

"my heart is aching, that's all i know
Hope is fading, i let you go."

This is a,
Memorial!

This is a,
Burial!

This is a,
Memorial!

This is a,
Burial!

I can't still see you,
You're fading away but
I can (i can) still feel you (i can feel you) don't you
Drifting away from me.
(away from me)
You're drifting away!

04. No Tomorrow

(To) write down a story I'd rather forget won't mend the heart that's shattered and shred.
Lord knows we tried, lord knows we failed (when) mistrustful feelings slowly prevailed.
We fade and fade from kiss to kiss with everything that lovely is. We've both grown cold from fight to fight
?Until our love has died!

All my dreams are far away - you took my life and gave me hell
Give me back my yesterday - or should i finally bid farewell
Never give all the heart for love
No effort's ever good enough
Highs result in lowest lows, we disavow till it clearly shows.

A bad hand dealt, too blind with trust gave you my all, till all was lost..
There ain't no rose without a thorn our love could grow and be reborn
?And when you walk a way?
Then walk away my dear but when you turn around i wont be standing here?

No tomorrow!
All my dreams are far away - you took my life and gave me hell. Give me back my yesterday - or should i finally bid farewell.
No tomorrow!

05. Edge Of Black

Black gold, black gold - our souls been sold it drips down our throats - fills up our lungs.
We can barely breath - can't spread our wings.

Golden horizon?burst in flames
Burning despair?again and again.
Golden horizon?so bright, but it's fading?burst in flames eternal return?
We're waiting and waiting again and again and again.

We know - but we'll never change. It's true - that's what we became.
(We're) standing at the edge! We'll never change!
Edge of black

Like a king with a rusty crown - like a saint on it's way down
To the deepest ocean floor - forever more.

Black gold, black gold - our souls been sold
We all know the truth - but we'll never change
A shadow of a saint - That's what we became

Golden horizon?so bright, but it's fading - burst in flames
Eternal return?we're waiting and waiting
Again and again and again.

We know - but we'll never change. It's true - that's what we became.
(We're) standing at the edge! We'll never change?
Edge Of Black
The destroying angel shall arise
To give salvation to a world of lies
We will drown in an ocean of black
And we all deserve it ?no way back!

Give 'em Hell We know - but we'll never change
It's true - that's what we became
We're standing at the edge!
We'll never change?
Edge of black

06. Davy Jones

I'm not going down that road again
You will drown by your self again
In your ocean of made up lies
Rising water slowly shuts your eyes

The waves are coming in
They washing you away
They leaving you astray
I can be your anchor no more

I'm not going down that road again
You will drown in the crimson rain
A flooded soul, a cold embrace
Davy Jones´s locker till the end of days

The waves are coming in
They washing you away
They leaving you astray
I'm so sorry cause i´m not sorry?

The waves are coming in
They washing you away
They leaving you astray
Get lost,
Get the fuck away!

07. Deadly Dream

Blood for blood - Heart for heart

Woke up in this dream an ugly world unseen
Unleash the beast in me - takin' a walk on elm street
I sing you a lullaby - in which your fears come to life
A good place to die - no chance to survive

Eye for an eye - A feast of sacrifice
I'm the shadow - i am the light
No place to run, no place to hide
Blood pours from the sky - We're dancing in the rain
A pandemonium - a symphony in pain

I am your demise You're my sacrifice
I am the shadow - I am the light - you're my sacrifice
I am the shadow - I am the light - I´m your demise
Who i am? I am you!

Those who enter here will forever disappear
In the darkest night - I whispered in your ear
You will be mine - cause it's high time
Carnage - chaos - endless pain - will drive you insane

I am nemesis - i give you death
Now you belong to me - (you will) die in agony
Greetings from hell - these are my dying words
Every time I kill - I hope to end this curse

I am the shadow - i am the light - you're my sacrifice
I am the shadow - i am the light - i´m your demise

Killing you is killing me
Am I awake or still asleep?
Don't wake me up, don't make this real!

08. Open Letter

Corporate cunts and pencil pushers
Prostitute your mind for cash
This way of live, it made me suffer
Trade your given time for trash

You all work jobs you badly hate to keep the bills at pay
For shit you bought, but you don't need
What self-deceptive way
Right From the cradle straight to the grave they want to tell us how to behave
Right from the cradle straight
to the end they want to force us to pretend

An Open letter to you all
Your greed will take it's toll
We're with our backs against the wall, but it's only built to fall

You tell me dreams are made to fail, like there is no escape
Prepared to walk the longest trail. Away from mental rape
Intimidate me with your lies

I'm paying any price
And when I come to say goodbye, can't look me in the eye
Right from the cradle straight to the grave they want to tell us how to behave.Right from the cradle straight
to the end they want to force us to pretend.

An Open letter to you all
Your greed will take it's toll
We're with our backs against the wall, but it's only built to fall

But I chose not to live like that I'm fighting my way back!

09. Dein R3.ich

(So much) hatred inside - so close to ignite
But what you hate is a reflection
A reflection of the love denied
And what you love is denial

Denial (that) makes this love a lie
Afraid to escape - to break your fate
Open this gate before it's too late

Take a look in the mirror
What you see is a broken smile
Caught in a world of false believes in a prison - where all hope will die

Ich bin der Dämon!
Zeig' nicht mein Gesicht!
Erkennst Du mich?
Erkennst Du mich nicht!?
Ich bin der Dämon!
Durchbreche das Licht!
Ich bin Du - Du bist ich - Los wirst Du mich nicht!

Du wirst mich nicht los?
Now that I can see you - I let you go
Du wirst mich nicht los!
Now that I can hear you - I let you go
Wir sind eins!
Ich sehe Dich - Ich erkenne mich!

Ich bin der Dämon!
Zeig' nicht mein Gesicht!
Erkennst Du mich?
Erkennst Du mich nicht!?
Ich bin der Dämon!
Durchbreche das Licht!
Ich bin Du - Du bist ich - Los wirst Du mich nicht!

Du ? mein Dämon!
Ich erkenne Dich!
Du warst die Hoffnung
(Du) warst das Licht
Du ? mein Dämon!
Ich erkenne Dich!

Ich zerstör' Dein R3.ich.
Unsere Bande bricht.

10. Broadcast To Damnation

Changing channels - watching the drama
Sit and fade while loosing your karma
Day by day - they feed your brain
Lay your thoughts in hidden dreams
Those who watch, or those who serve!

I guess we (all) get what we deserve!
spineless & faceless - go fuck yourself - don't ask why
Heartless & breathless - go fuck yourself - you know why
Pointless & senseless - go fuck yourself - don't ask why
Aimless & faithless - go fuck yourself - you know why

It's killing me - this war in my head - It's killing me
We can't break free

Consume the light, consume the lie
Forget the world, forget your life
I cast a spell on you & everybody else
Who doesn't give a shit for someone else
The world around you is an ugly place
You're not gonna die with a smile on your face

Illness & sickness - go fuck yourself
Dullness & darkness - go fuck yourself
The virus is out and there is no escape
A silent killer is on his way
The virus is out to choke your brain
A silent killer is after you - it's all in vain!

It's killing me - this war in my head - It's killing me.
We can't break free

I don't wanna know about your madness
I don't wanna know about your low life existence
Broadcast to damnation?

11. This Oath

Remember the time I burned all bridges to you, it still breaks my heart in two.
How can I gain your trust again? How can I make you believe again?

My heart beats just for you - I'll never let you go
Take this oath - i love you
My heart beats just for you - I'll never let you go
Take this oath - Everything is just for you!

Which words are strong enough to make us rise from ashes
Forgiven is not forgotten
I want to be with you for now and forever
But forever is not even quiet enough

Be my haven, be my anchor
Be my guiding light and lead us home - my heart is close to burst
My horizon is on fire
And the sky turns (from) blue to grey - take my heart and save my soul.

My heart beats just for you - I'll never let you go
Take this oath - i love you
My heart beats just for you - I'll never let you go
Take this oath - Everything is just for you!

12. Modern Warfare

Welcome to war!
Everybody knows you and everybody told you that nobody needs you and nobody cares
Everybody is at war with their fingers on the board
What's real (and) what's in your head
You release your poison to the world
This is the modern plague

Welcome to war! You can't escape!
If this is real, I´d rather go blind then have this world pulled over my eyes!
Cause in the end, it's all in my mind and you're the one who's left behind!

Everybody knows you and everybody told you that nobody needs you and nobody cares
Everybody is caught in a world of make believe
Get a life - this is not real
We allow our-self's to be deceived
A virus, no one could heal

Welcome to war! You can't escape!
If this is real, I´d rather go blind then have this world pulled over my eyes!
Cause in the end, it's all in my mind and you're the one who's left behind!

F Y I -
I don't care if you fucking die
