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

New World Order
03:46
|

[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

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

Riot by Design
03:18
|

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

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?

Cartridge Holder
05:30
|
|||
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!

We're Still in Town
03:18
|

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
