1. Salute the Crumbling Pedestal
2. From Despair Within
3. Seeds and Soil
1. Salute the Crumbling Pedestal
The crumbling pedestal leaves us pile of dust to breath
Hope needed, rope received
Competition becoming part of evolution
Ingrained deep in our spine
Reach the ultimate position
To crash and burn even higher
Hope needed, rope received
No turning back, staring at a dead end
Knee deep and ready fall down to wreckages of life
Hope need, rope received
The crumbing pedestal leaves us pile of dust to breath
Silent consent, masses breed masses
Desperation no day without a feeling of confusion
I´m running on second chances countless times
Well salted wounds ain´t numbless yet, feels fucking annoying
the crumbling pedestal leaves us pile of dust to breath
Hope needed, rope received
2. From Despair Within
Hope strands, less belief on times to come. Offer gives nothing to gain
Belief weakens, good will be replaced to gain maximized profits
Hope wither, claws of extinction squeezes life out of another species
Heart hopes for better, ivory tower sinks into depths of calm realities
Closed my eyes, escape to safe haven, ease of the moment to look the other way
scraping bottoms of an empty barrel, trying to wake from the worst dream ever
Vultures humiliate purpose, illusion of asylum gone up in flames
Sinking ship burns to ashes, follow to be lead, follow to be left in ruins
False image for cheap belief, the wounds bleed profusely
False words to obtain dream, the wounds bleed profusely
Vultures humiliate the purpose, follow to be lead, follow to be left in ruins
Sinking ship burns to ashes, illusion of asylum gone up in flames
Vultures humiliate the purpose, follow to be lead, follow to be left in ruins
Heart hopes for better, ivory tower sinks into depths of calm realities
3. Seeds and Soil
Have we been waiting for too long
that the eagle sinks his nails
into the swan´s proud but naive neck
Is that domination the meaning of surrender
after that we don´t have to think about growth
No need to plant aplle trees or could we just say
find a seed and put it underground and then just wait
even if there´s flames burning your feet
Our garden has turned into plantation
Tomorrow the plantation will turn very
poor or is it so that destiny has written
Tomorrow is cancelled!
It´s not so hard to water our apple trees
But the advice comes from far away from our tree
We can run until we get exhausted
but we can´t run any further
after that I hope there´s someone
who will find a new seed and throw it to the blind
Fear it the power, I´m horrified
The eagle strikes while we are asleep
so let´s not go to our beds tonight
let´s not meet our nightmares
