Date of expiration
A disease you cannot cure
It’s our destination
No delays anymore

Great expectations
But the end is so near
A strange iteration
And soon it starts again

Did you ever smell the rain –
The humidity in the air?
Did you ever feel the pain –
Depending on what you will dare?

The sweetest pain you ever felt
It’s fun and desperation
Emotions which you cannot steal
Love has no date of expiration

What an infiltration
Privacy’s so far away
Station after station
Cannot stop my thoughts

The final decision
No excuses anymore
Time for condemnation
But do you really care?!

. . .


For centuries and centuries
I walked along their battlefields
Rotten flesh and burned soil
Is all what they have left

A strange desire for destruction
Can be felt at all these places
An awful waste of resources
All for their killing machinery

A world all made of battlefields
A world all drowned in blood
A world which will not last forever
Is all that we have got

A world all made of battlefields
A world all built for wars
And now we take the battlefields
Far out to the stars

They get better year by year
With a frightening efficiency
Killing thousands in one strike
By pushing just one button

So I have been everywhere
From the jungle to the mountain
And even in the deepest sea
I saw the signs of a past war

. . .


They were fighting for land in earlier days
Wanting to extend their living space
They were fighting for their faith a thousand years
Call it holy war - it’s the sum of your fears

They are fighting for oil at the present time
Want to suppress all of these crimes
Fighting goes on in the next decade
It will never stop until it’s too late

They will fight for water not far from today
A limited resource after the decay
They were fighting for land in earlier days
Thought they were a superior race

History repeats itself
The war will soon begin
It’s already ten to twelve
We are almost within

A new war just started to avenge their nation
The war against terror - our new obligation
We are in a tunnel with no light at the end
The war is not over, there is more to defend

. . .


I’ve had to leave
But still can see you
Almost every single day
When desire overwhelms me

But more important is
What I can do
Although I really want to
Feel and smell your perfect skin

An obscure picture on my screen
Is all that’s left of you
Your voice distorted from my speakers
And there’s nothing else I can do

This is a lesson for our love
We have to be patient for now
But while the time is passing by
We will find a way somehow

So I can’t wait
To see you here
In flesh and blood in real life
Satisfying all my senses

But nevertheless
I’m still alone
In a dark room, cold and sterile
In front of a flickering screen

. . .


The dreams still come and go
Lying wounded on a beach
With shrapnel in my leg
My only weapon is a knife

And there is this golden fluid
A bag full of tiny bottles
It’s a promise for relief
The key for my survival

So I feel, yes I feel the need
To lock myself up in a room
Squirt some morphine into my veins
To leave this cruel world for a while

And when I close my eyes
I find myself somewhere else
In a world built on illusions
Where compulsions are expelled

Out of a need I had to use it
Although I never thought I would
And before I was aware
This need was present every day

A golden mirror for my soul
Will be injected through a syringe
Slowly creeping up my vein
To hit the center of myself

. . .


We have to fire up the engines, supply them with coal
And if we get too weak we are burned as fuel
I have seen my comrades getting burned down here
Counting my days until it’s my turn

Aboard this flagship
We are prisoners of war
Used as human resources
We haven’t come very far

There’s no more hope
It’s a war without an end
A fight against humanity
Nothing more to defend

We haven’t seen the sun for uncountable days
The only light we’ve seen is the fire of burned bodies

Our skin’s stained black by dust and by coal
The smell of burned flesh is present everywhere

. . .


Another land, another culture
With a different kind of life
What was once forbidden
Belongs here to social life

While you travel to those countries
You can live a thousand lives
In a castle somewhere in britain
Or a temple down in asia

Give me a golden shower
Give me a new thrill
Give me this experience
And give me the last kill

Give me almighty power
Give me a strong will
Give me a new life
And give me the final thrill

Hatred, boredom and the lies
Plenty of false moral rules
Breaking them in many ways
You don’t belong to these fools

Being sneaky, unpredictable
Never is forgiven
Condemned and rejected
But you live, you live your life

. . .


It started like a normal day
Shower, breakfast and then out
The sun shone on a winter morning
As he caught the bus to work

Thoughts about the next hours
Some trouble was ahead
He left the bus and it hit him
It’s much too late to change your fate

He left behind his family
A child at the age of five
It’s crying in her mother’s arms
Too young to understand

Dead on the street
I saw the man fall
His heart stopped to beat
For no reason at all

Dead on the street
His life was too short
Now a note on a sheet
Dangles on his toe

He lived his life much too fast
So he died before his time
All the warnings he ignored
Until it was too late

. . .


Every morning I wake up
With a new identity
With some new memories
Of my former life

All the thoughts I ever had
All the memories I can recite
Are just an illusion
Implanted in my brain

And even the city changes
With new buildings and new roads
But I really cannot tell
If it’s just an illusion

Implanted illusions is all-
that I can remember
Stolen thoughts of a time
When I met you last November

Now, there’s just confusion-
at this place without a sun
I try so hard to escape
There’s no place to which to run

And suddenly, it hits me
That there was no sun for years
The illusions fade away
Making room for reality

. . .


Dir selber warst du niemals treu
Denn Treue kennst du nicht
Verschlagenheit, dein Attribut,
Jetzt zeigst du dein Gesicht

Wenn du in den Spiegel schaust,
Frag’ ich mich, was du erblickst
Was glaubst du zu bekommen,
Wenn du selbst nur Dreck verschickst?!

Mit jeder Silbe, die du sprichst,
Ein weiteres Versprechen brichst
Mit jeder Silbe, die du sprichst,
Das Schwert der Luege an uns bricht

Die Wahrheit ist kein Freund von dir
Denn wahre Freunde hast du nicht
Ausgenutzt hast du zu viele
Doch gegeben hast du nichts

Die Luegen haben es dir leicht gemacht
Denn luegen fiel dir niemals schwer
Am Ende waren die Taschen voll
Doch all die Kassen leer

. . .


It’s driving me forth without a rest
These feelings inside me I cannot control
An unknown force is controlling my fate
It provides me with this restless life

I’m coming home to recover
But after a day I feel it again
I have to leave and go on a journey
To unknown places I haven’t heard of

Travelling from place to place
My life is way too fast
I’m always on a race
And I wonder how long it will last

And this time I will not return
I will travel on to all these places
And it may be I find a place
A definite place to settle down

. . .


You always wanna be the best
It’s a struggle without an end
Running as fast as you can
But you will never reach your goal

It’s the struggle of our daily life
Of politics and war
Everyone here runs so fast
But never sees the finish

And suddenly you find yourself
Running with the red queen
Through valleys and over hills
And sometimes against the stream

And suddenly you realize
Nothing here is what it seems
You are beyond the looking glass
Like Alice and the red queen

And when you wonder why
You cannot get to this point
Cannot finish what you started
Then you are through the looking glass

You’re far beyond reality
Or isn’t this the real world?!
Where we all struggle and fight
Without knowing what it’s all for

. . .


I heard the high pitched keening
A sound of pain and fear
Someone unseen crying out
A mourning call of loss

I heard the cries past all hope
Which sound through the night
Screams beyond your belief
Chilled my blood to ice

Thirty years of fear and pain
Driven away from my own nation
Finally the odds have changed
Time has come for condemnation

Wait for me, I will return
So very soon you will burn
Now, where your end is near
How does it feel to live in fear?

I saw them badly injured
All laid out on stretchers
A lot of bloody bandages
Wrapped around their bodies

I saw the refugees
Without hope or without relief
They were chased and hunted
Looking lost and shell-shocked
