5. For Her
1. Lunatic (Intro)
2. 2 B
Today, life makes heavy demands on us
Being successful is not easy
Schizophrenia- splitted personality
Schizophrenia- being two in one
Money, success and reputation
Expected from society
Calmity, fun and party
Expected from myself
To be accepted in a job
I have to adapt my appearance
Responsibility and perfection they demand
Schizophrenia- unavoidable
Schizophrenia- living in two worlds
Schizophrenia- splitted personality
Schizophrenia- being two in one
We need music
We need fun
We are able
to be schizo
Fuck social dictates
Fuck the petty bourgeois
Fuck damn hypocrisy
We know to rule
Schizophrenia- unavoidable
Schizophrenia- living in two worlds
Schizophrenia- splitted personality
Schizophrenia- being two in one
3. On Chains
I awake out of a dream
cruelly and painfully
Cold sweat on my skin
Everything hurts
I hung on chains
on butcher hooks
bored into my body
cold, rusty steel in each extremity
incapable to move for all the pain
my bones seemed to be broken, was I paralized?
was I on mercy of a higher might?
Suddenly a movement
In my legs
couldn’t decide
the direction
Blinded by the blood
In my eyes
wished to see my tormentor
I wished he’d pull the chain, let the blood flow out of
my eyes. Pull the chain, lift my head
Step by step forced forward against
my will. Without grace, without hope
Stop it!
Master, my puppeteer, who are you?
I am not your marionette
Let me go!
Now I’m awake
Still hanging on chains
Driven by a might I can’t see
Tormentor of my soul, who are you?
The rattling of the chains, still in my ears
My view still red, my body hurts
Incapable to move for all the pain
My bones are broken, I am paralized
Lying on the floor
In my own blood
My life an endless nightmare
My life an endless pain
Master who are you?
I will be yours
4. War
The earth is trembling
Sky’s turning black
Bombs are falling
Like fire my breath
Napalm attack!
My skin burns!
Dead bodies around me
Can swim in their blood
Mutilated corpses
cover my feet
Fighting our enemies kill each of them
Murdering fathers and sons
Spreading grief in unknown families
Just to say we have won
Rattling guns
Detonating shells
Broken bones
Exploding tanks
Marching into war for the victory of our fatherland to get buried in honour
Just to receive a medal for bravery
Just to leave behind misery
I begin to doubt the sense of war
What the hell we are fighting for?
The enemy attacks!
We are taken prisoners…
Caught in a muddy hole
No way to escape
Being a soldier’s whore
Daily raped
I drink my vomit
Eat my own flesh
I pray to god
That this will end
5. For Her
Der letzte Sonnenstrahl, schwach noch die Erinnerung daran
Ein letzter Rest von Wärme, entschwindend im Nebel
Schon aufgefressen wovon einst besessen war der Geist
Erinnerung an Herrlichkeit
Ein letzter Hoffnungsschimmer verblasst für immer
im Nebel der Einsamkeit
Chorus:
Dunkelheit macht sich breit
Ein Herz erfüllt von Regen
Erloschen ist die Glut schon fast
Der letzte Funken Leben
Eingetaucht ins nasse Grab
Für ewig die Verbindung
Hinfort geschwemmt die Einsamkeit
Welch herrliche Empfindung
Ein kalter Hauch entfacht die nasse Glut von neuem
Nur schwach der Regenbogen, Leben erdacht
Vergangenheit, was übrig bleibt ist nur
die Sehnsucht nach Geborgenheit
Chorus
Der letzte Regentag, im kalten Fluss ein nasses Grab
Der Schmerz ist überwunden, gleite hinunter
Und längst vergessen wovon einst zerfressen war der Geist
Erinnerung an Sterblichkeit
Chorus
