Billow from below Silence will cease Winds of tempest Carry the seeds Wipe out your sorrows Fighting will cease When the old guards Are falling And we carry the peace Wipe out your sorrows Fighting will cease When the old guards Are falling And we carry true peace

[Woho] Watch this world decay But we stay hard We will live forever Every morning in the papers, on the TV Everywhere is war and terror Angie M. lies to the nations To the last generations To prevent disorder But the course is already set We are dedicated to the new world order [Woho] Last night I woke up alone Turned on the TV It doesn’t feel like home Why our politicians do that to me? I watched the news Seems like all reason’s gone More nuclear power plants More weapons for crisis areas "If we don't, others will do" What the fuck goes wrong with you? [Woho] At least We cannot say That we don’t know What goes on and on and on Capitalism is raging over the “free” nations Times are changing Angie M. lies to the nations To the last generations To prevent disorder But the course is already set We are dedicated to the new world order Donald T. lies to the nations To the last generations To prevent disorder But the course is already set We are dedicated to the new world order [Woho] At least We cannot say That we don’t know What goes on and on and on Capitalism is raging over the “free” nations Times are changing

Resistance 03:02
Resistance, resistance, resistance is what we need Resistance, resistance, we burn your fucking seed Dark skies, burned land, all you’ve got is just your hands And you start to realize that you have paid the price For the nations out there With your blood and your scars For the upper and middle class and all those wanna-be stars And now there’s a pressing demand in the dawn Am I so worthless or is fairness gone? Resistance, resistance, resistance is what we need Resistance, resistance, we burn your fucking seed We cannot hide here Millions live in fear Resistance, resistance, resistance Let them bleed Yeah, now we live in a world the poor are dreaming of In a public place where cameras are everywhere When we’re driving home GPS is tracking our way And our smartphones are listening to us every day And now there’s a pressing demand in the dawn Am I jumping the gun or is all trust long gone? Resistance, resistance, resistance is what we need Resistance, resistance, we burn your fucking seed We cannot hide here Millions live in fear Resistance, resistance, resistance Let them bleed Resistance, resistance, resistance is what we need Resistance, resistance, we burn your fucking seed Resistance, resistance, resistance is what we need (Rise, Rise, Rise) Resistance, resistance, we burn your fucking seed (Rise, Rise, Rise) Resistance, resistance, resistance is what we need Resistance, resistance, we burn your fucking seed We cannot hide here Millions live in fear Resistance, resistance, resistance is what we need

Floated Away 04:08
Learned late Not talented Everywhere bloody branded And nothings left Filled with hate On the ground Scratched knees Destroyed sound And only clefts Led through this ugly side You will never beat your twin Never reached the end You won’t ever win A sinking ship Eats up your side You've got a sinking feeling And nothing remains Learned late Fucked Talented Acid head Lonely stranded Bad frame of mind Grabbed the stars And fell down in a hole of hazy sound I know your kind Led through this ugly side You won’t forget your sins Never reached the end You will never win A sinking ship Eats up your side You've got a sinking feeling And nothing remains A sinking ship Eats up your side You've got a sinking feeling You've got a fucking sinking feeling And nothing remains

Masstainment 04:47
I'm so sick of it I can't be myself Stick to your meds, You TV slave, But when you fall „Goodbye, ethanol!“ Feed us distractions To build up false tensions Feed us sedatives If worms are relatives Quality on its highest level Journalists around the globe Half and half or zero and one Some truth is there but sometimes it's gone At 8 pm there is no hope A swarm of scandals - smells like dope This apathy - it feels like dope I'm so sick of it I can't be myself Stick to your meds, You TV slave, But when you fall „Goodbye, ethanol!“ Turn the TV on To crash your mind The great masstainment Will shape your child And when it falls „Hello, ethanol!“ Creative thoughts and abnormal minds Are turned into lullabies Maximized dysfunction By mindless overconsumption Scripted reality mutilates all teens Until they can't differentiate between fake and reality Yeah, please, send us more wannabe celebrities for dumbass shows They all wanna be remembered even for stereotypical roles Try to print me like a label Put me on the surgical table To make me perfect and oh so famous That's all I need to be prosperous Don't wanna hear from you, you hater You're Buffett's grandson? Call me later! Wouldn't you wanna wear this lovely dress? Why don't you grant me my success? We are sick of it We can't be ourselves Blow up your TV To erase your chains And when they fall „Goodbye, ethanol!“ Don't turn the TV on Don't crash your mind Avoid the masstainment Don't abuse your child And when it falls Tear down the next wall And when it falls Prevent new walls So they can see who we are Who we are Who we are

The Fraud 03:05
Now we are again at this point I can’t stand I need the help you pretend to give (He said) “Take my hand and you will see something You never believe.” Do you have the fear - the one I’ve got? Never trust a man who speaks a lot Who's wearing a tie A tight business guy Breaking the rules Hiding the lies No, never trust a man who knows your secrets Don’t present your deepest inside too frequent The fraud I don’t wanna see The fraud Don’t lie to me The fraud I don’t wanna pay Dog eat dog every day Still the best friends - forever But the envy in his heart leads him to a mind error He doesn’t wanna play by the rules So he beats him down with his tools Deform his face with the boots Now we are back - back at the roots No, never trust a man who knows your secrets Don’t present your deepest inside too frequent The fraud I don’t wanna see The fraud Don’t lie to me The fraud I don’t wanna pay Dog eat dog every day Our society lays down on the ground Nobody can help it at this point The fraud I don’t wanna see The fraud Don’t lie to me The fraud I don’t wanna pay The fraud Dog eat dog every day No, never trust a man who knows your secrets Don’t present your deepest inside too frequent The fraud I don’t wanna see The fraud Don’t lie to me The fraud I don’t wanna pay Dog eat dog every day The fraud I don’t wanna see The fraud Don’t lie to me The fraud I don’t wanna pay Dog eat dog every day

Dirty faces and worn-out clothes Surrounded by thousands, still feeling alone The ground’s where I work Yeah, the ground is my home The stomachs stay empty While they blow up next door The pressure crushes my shelter And all I cared for Liar! Denier! Traitor! Slaver! When you asked me for help I said, “It’s alright” When you didn’t keep your promises I said, “It’s alright” When you turned your back on me I said, “It’s alright” Now you force me to leave, Do you think that’s alright? I’m down on my knees Do you think that’s alright? “A painful disease” Is what you said, right? Nobody’s listening 'Cause I am nothing and you’re the fucking white knight Hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey Step back! Step back! Congrats on your ballistic protection, Your baton, shield and pepper spray, And all those things you put on (For terrorists?) No, for people who stand up To bring them back down to the ground You didn’t violate any human rights, did ya? Cause it’s said to be legal under national law Why the fuck did you close your eyes When they burned the house with my baby inside? And there you are all over again for the same old reason. Do whatever you wanna do There’s nothing to make it even Come and get me Try to catch me It’s your job to fight against me Fellow members, let’s be the ones who stir the fire all night long If we burn, they burn with us! Look eye in eye with the ones you blame And realize we’re all the same We are the servants of global players In the endgame Fight back! Fight back! Fight back! Gotta fight back! Let’s fight back! Hey, hey, hey Fight back! Hey, hey, hey Fight back! Hey, hey, hey Fight back! Gotta fight back! We’re so fucked!

The sea is our home So you can't fight us We're shadows in the darkness White on black, our flag No home and no future Freedom is our greed All for one and one for all Raise the flag, hang it up high We won’t support your system Can’t we bring it down? We'll stay together Don’t make it on your own Are you on your knees? Stand up and fight Wipe out that painful disease (Woho) Nail your colors to the mast (Woho) Hold up our flag - it might be the last On a crusade for our rights Never rejected any fight The wind beats hard But we won’t fall apart No home and no future Freedom is our greed All for one and one for all Raise the flag, hang it up high No, don’t make it on your own Your ship sinks in disgrace Piracy falls apart And you will be alone (Woho) Nail your colors to the mast (Woho) Hold up our flag - it might be the last Dive to the bottom of deep sea And you will see all that mess You've left in this battle so far It will rise and it won't be suppressed (Woho) Nail your colors to the mast (Woho) Hold up our flag - it might be the last It might be the last It might be the last

Free Wing 03:35
Have you ever asked yourself Why people sell their lives for wealth They choose to work in slavery In hope of finally becoming free A thousand bodies are bound to few heads The work of thousands is less valued than one head’s productive time And now you see them running The warlords are commanding The ants are too afraid to lose their so beloved positions So they accept their program And take their freedom loans The truth remains hidden behind a lovely flower curtain I wanna fly to the sky, so high, 'Cause I’m sick Of just getting by, so I try, Until my paper wings Kill me Have you ever asked yourself Why some ethnic groups are despised by others How can one possibly deserve More of any good than a million people on this earth Lines of prejudice Your word against mine Facts out of context An enemy of your own design Talking, keep on talking, keep on talking, keep on talking And we talk, talk, talk, All day long Talk, talk, on and on Do we really wanna find something that’s called solution? Sleeping, keep on sleeping, keep on sleeping, keep on sleeping And we sleep, sleep, sleep, Every year We sleep, that’s why we bleed Do we really wanna find something that’s called solution? Oh, I just Just want to Just want to fly to the sky 'Cause I’m sick Of just getting by, so I try, Until my paper wings Kill me And now you see them running The warlords are commanding The ants are too afraid to lose their so beloved positions So they accept their program And take their freedom loans The truth remains hidden behind a lovely flower curtain And now we see them running The warlords are commanding The ants are too afraid to lose their so beloved positions So they accept their program And take their freedom loans The truth remains hidden behind a lovely flower curtain Set me free Free my mind I’ll leave it far behind Break this cage Let me fly This dove seeks A new sky I wanna fly to the sky, so high, 'Cause I’m sick Of just getting by, so I try, Until my free-grown wings Kill me

Heartbleed 04:11
A few days in the summer sun Erased my dreams They are dead and gone It felt like seconds before my suffocation But you will never know How it is to lose your crown It happened bad, I guess, And I’m really sorry for that mess But I hope I'll learn this time to do it better next time Better - Next try! Yeah I tried to erase my mind To erase the thoughts inside But they won’t leave my head I cannot bring out my dead I miss you too Yeah, I miss you too And if I could turn back, I would do all the things we never We never had Yeah, I tried to erase my mind To erase my thoughts inside But they won’t leave my head Brain and mouth must not be connected So, I fell for your side Fell for your right I fell off my own light For you For you For you For you For you For you For you For you

Lucid Dream 04:44
Hey, hold up, my friend Tell me once again Stories you told me About living free Despite my routine It feels just like a dream Never thought this could be Our reality Look at the choices we made before it fell apart Did you face the old guards or just play your part (whoa) Whatever you did, it does no longer matter here Let’s be the architects Creating a new world Driven by no anger and no fear I believe Share the food and spread the words I believe “From each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs” is the principle we need No black and white thinking, no masters to succeed Look at the choices we made before it fell apart Did you face the old guards or just play your part (whoa) Whatever you did, it does no longer matter here Let’s be the architects Creating a new world Driven by no anger and no fear A blue-print – We threw it away 'cause it’s too thin We had the courage to find our own way out Do you remember when they said “God will save us” When we believed in authorities and obeyed their orders And we thought we had to follow To find happiness but the search increased our sorrows Look at the choices we made before it fell apart Did you face the old guards or just play your part (whoa) Whatever you did, it does no longer matter here Let’s be the architects Creating a new world Driven by no anger and no fear We are all warmed by the sun If it shines for us before we are gone We will be warmed by the sun But who will be there for you from dusk through night to dawn? Look at the choices we made before it fell apart Did you face the old guards or did you just play your part (whoa) Whatever you did, it does no longer matter here Let’s be the architects Create a new world That is shaped by all of us – Let’s go! Don’t rest in grief, my friend Time is yours to spend Avoid the bitter trend Live your life again I’ve been awake too long Made mistakes all along Know the days will come And go for everyone Know(that) I’ve won

The Uprising 04:16
Do you see what I see? Can you feel what I feel? Will you scream when I scream? How do you know it’s not conformity? Have you been tricked? The rain keeps falling as we walk out the door We’re trying to hide somewhere save to restore All the things they have taken from us once more Their beauty, their fame and pursuit of money galore Signs of degradation that they still adore I’ve taken the pills to become their whore but I won’t fall for anymore! Will you move on Or will you drop out of this pathetic rat race? Will you pick sides Or will you stand up for your own rights? One step forward, two steps back (two steps back) We’re awaiting your wolf pack (your wolf pack) Until they realize who we are (who we are) And what they have become so far. The pressure - it’s growing The silence is ongoing Who will start the overthrowing Of our walls In our minds? Will it be yours or will it be mine? Is there a way out Of this maze full of doubts? We’re running in circles- It’s time to break out! Just watch the news and you’ll see crime after crime (Frustration) Wait for the ads there’s something “as cheap as a dime” (Sedation) Buy all those things you don’t need just to waste some more time (Imitation) Their beauty, their fame and pursuit of money galore (Sensationalizing) Signs of degradation that they still adore (Disguising) We’ve taken the pills to become their whores, but we won’t fall for anymore (Uprising) We won’t fall No, we won’t fall We won’t fall One step forward, two steps back We’re awaiting your wolf pack Until they realize who we are And what they have become so far. One step forward, two steps back (two steps back) We’re awaiting your wolf pack (your wolf pack) Until they realize who we are (who we are) And what they have become so far One step forward, two steps back We’re awaiting your wolf pack (so faaaar) Until they realize who we are And what they have become so far What have we become?

The clocks keep on spinning As the thoughts inside my head They embrace these common feelings And a knowledge not many have It’s this freezing darkness That fuels the fire inside my chest The one I’ve tried to extinguish Can no longer be suppressed I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna grow older Don’t wanna be like you - don’t wanna just sit there and shrug my shoulders Before I have to go I will let them know Yeah, I will never go I won’t fight for you I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna grow colder 'Cause I already know I don’t wanna be your cartridge holder Before I have to go I will let them know Yeah, I will never go to fight, bleed and die for you The day has come To re-ignite what’s gone Into the darkness of this night To create our guiding lights May a spark be the one Who will cause that raging fire Which will burn through night and dawn Into our hearts to carry on May the sun shine warm and bright To find guidance in another night I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna grow older Don’t wanna be like you - don’t wanna just sit there and shrug my shoulders Before I have to go I will let them know Yeah, I will never go I won’t fight for you I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna grow colder 'Cause I already know I don’t wanna be your cartridge holder Before I have to go I will let them know Yeah, I will never go to fight, bleed and die for you From now, know that every border you cross, every purchase you make, every call you dial, every cell phone tower you pass, friend you keep, article you write, site you visit, subject line you type, and packet you route, is in the hands of a system whose reach is unlimited but whose safeguards are not. I appreciate your concern for my safety, but I already know how this will end for me and I accept the risk. I ask only that you ensure this information makes it home to the public. I’m not the one who carries the change. It’s the people. You know what? Let’s start off easy and say: Fuck you - to the ones in power Fuck you - to all forced hours Fuck you - to mass surveillance Fuck you - to conscious misstatements I know bullets may hit me Unknown and familiar to me But if it’s my blood they have to shed In colorful gardens under threat Perhaps some fading flower then Would come to life and bloom again Don’t mourn, organize Show your colors, start to rise! I am not the first one and I won’t be the last Call me hero, call me traitor but don’t try to skew the present or the past I hope my story won’t bury the ones who are still alive I hope it won’t be just a tool to cover up more secrets and more lies I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna grow older Don’t wanna be like you – don’t wanna just sit there and shrug my shoulders Before I have to go I will let them know Yeah, I will never go I won’t fight for you I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna grow colder 'Cause I already know I don’t wanna be your cartridge holder Before I have to go I will let them know Yeah, I will never go to fight, bleed and die for you I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna grow older 'Cause I already know I don’t wanna be your cartridge holder Before I have to go I will let them know Yeah, I will never go I won’t die because of you again!

Leave all old songs behind Now we wanna find Our way to the top And write some lovely pop We just move our lips and dance like a whore That simile was nasty but we’d suck you off for more The former punk sound long forgotten We still wanna find Our way to the top Leave all your shit behind We will rip it off tonight Till the stars are chuckling, “Everything is alright. Everything is alright.” We use four chord progressions just to be sure Don’t you love 6-4-1-5 and 1-5-6-4? Some guys said, “That’s all it takes to be a star” How come we still have no hits? We have no vagina! (Fuck Sexism) The former punk sound long forgotten We still wanna find Our way to the top Leave all your shit behind We will rip it off tonight Till the stars are chuckling, “Everything is alright. Everything is alright.” We are still in town Music’s not some fucking race It only matters where your heart is placed Genre bashing, for fucking sake, Is socially constructed to separate Look, tunes are not everything at all It’s more the faith you have to break through the walls Come, sing along but stay diverse Welcome to the “Power Up”-Universe (Woah)
