1. To The Deaf
2. Forced Into Shape
Suggested desire
Inflicted need
Buried in the mind
Unnoticed, imprisoned
Bent to their needs
Playing your role
Inserted into the system
Total control
Forced into shape
Analysed, classified
Access granted
Control enabled
Sleep quiet, sleep well
In your bursting bubble
Repression of one fact
You are individual
Bent to their needs
Playing your role
Inserted into the system
Total control
Forced into shape
Analysed, classified
Access granted
Control enabled
Resist outer classification
Create your own image of yourself
Release of this subtle enforcement
Forced into shape is what you are
You are classified
3. Lost In The Ruins
Gloomy chaos full of rubble
A forest of burst metal
Corpses, cadavers and lots of screams
Familiar faces, nothing as it was before
Lost in the ruins
Like the dead in their graves
Rummage the rubble for a bit of humanity
Like worms search for rotten flesh
A city full of human beings
Icy coldness is overwhelming me
Thousands of warm fortresses
Nevertheless as stiff as a poker and frozen to death
This madness we can see everywhere
That’s reality, but they wouldn’t believe
In the past which we couldn’t change
Things have happened, we can’t retrograde
The present passes
Nothing changed, only war, profit and self-complacency
The future is too late for variation
Total overkill, the environment collapses everywhere
That’s the right way to our ruins
Handmade and proud of it? Of Yourself
Chests full of food
But poisoned and stunted
The seed prospers in concrete
With a look at the belly of the fish
This humanity, we can find everywhere
That’s reality and we can’t survive
4. Last Step Before The Fall
Supposed to learn to walk on water
Falling deep and drown in cold wet
It’s the effect, it offers the best thrill
It’s the effect, it’s kill or be killed
Seeing through closed eyes, taking the hurdle
Stabbed in the back by a third you ignored
God never was another unknown phrase
To be like him, enter the first phase
Progression, Regression, Depression, Possession
Progression, Regression, Depression, Possession
Supposed to learn to walk on water
Falling deep and drown in cold wet
It’s the effect, it offers the best thrill
It’s the effect, it’s kill or be killed
Seeing through closed eyes, taking the hurdle
Stabbed in the back by a third you forgot
God never was just an unknown phrase
To be like him, enter the second phase
The next great step - prepare for attack
It will sadly be yours - you fight against yourself
Success is not on your side - though you can’t
see the facts
Progression, Regression, Depression, Possession
Progression, Regression, Depression, Possession
What is progress?
It is not our progress!
5. What Lies Beneath The Dream
Walk through this world
Confronted with an overdose
Impressions of short existence
Created just for the fast turnover
Becoming a puppet of the dream selling industry
Blinded by the spotlight and the passing fame
The tears of happiness are drained faster than you think
But you fool believe in the hypocritical fake
Filthy modern need for plastic beat
Getting covered with shit
Media made it a hit
See no end of the trip
See the boss’ eyes, greedy glistening shine
Feed upon dreams
Thrown away after use
A short life in the heat
Standing in line, waiting for their time
Swimming on the wave to imitate the new star
Feeding the masses ’til their stomachs are full
But remember: the next one is still waiting in line
Creating a need
Polished plastic for you
Wake up from your dream
And realize that you’re fooled
Walk through this world
Confronted with an overdose
Impressions of short existence
Created just for the fast turnover
6. Reality Is W.Y.L.
Lies on the screen
Lies on the paper
Lies in your eyes
Lies from your mouth
A lie is the only
Truth I deserve
Sickening ways to
Keep me silent
I am sick
Of your false shit
The truth dies as soon
As one lie is born
Liar
You are just a poor
Liar
Keep away from me
Lies in your eyes
Lies from your mouth
What do you think?
I believe in your lies?
Liar
You are just a poor
Liar
Keep away from me
7. Placed On A Siding
Change of personality
New influences changed your mind
Find some new childish pussies
Forget the last part of your life
Dream your dream of a love story
Awake one day - no surprise
Find some new experiences
No more place for your old live companion
I am falling apart
Cannot tell what is going on
I am losing my mind
Feel so lost, so alone
I do not know
What to believe anymore
I need something to cling to
Something I can trust in!
I am - placed on a siding
In this darkest part of my life
I searched for sympathy and support
Finding just coldness - placed on a siding
The relationship crumbled without a sign
My past opens like an old wound
Memories wash over one another
Images shimmer and appear before me
Flooding me to the point of drowning
I am - placed on a siding
No understanding of your actions
Can’t imagine what confuses your mind
I can’t see any reasons
Loneliness violates my heart
I try to speak, I try to shout
But my voice does not come
Just because something is not real
Does not mean it cannot hurt me
Feelings freeze to a heap of hate
Your twaddle of comprehension and of sympathy
Like knives slashing my stomach into pieces
Unhinged my mind - cause you know nothing!
8. The Needle
Lying upon this cold steel
With a body so wretched and torn
Day by day a repeating torture
A scapegoat for police and law
Why am I to blame for this matter
My inner self knows that I’m not
All I see is that their minds are blind
And I’m finally sentenced to rot
A needle that consists of hate and public satisfaction
Penetrates my mind until my death will turn me loose
Lost all hope for a life without that unreal guilt
They ruined my life and I don’t know why I’m here
Watch me bleed
My fate is what you’ve sealed
Horrible scenes
It’s not my death I fear
Every minute I feel the needle
It’s driving me insane this needle
Every second I fear the needle
In this system of the needle
All I see is that their minds are blind
And I’m finally sentenced to rot
9. Incapacity
High unemployment rate
Collapse of the social state
Economy crisis - no progress
Ecological balance - polluted earth
Growing criminality
Educational nuisance
Lack of money everywhere
Finding no way out
You can’t confess your own mistakes
But your citizens perish in flames
Refusing all along the line
Brought you into other crimes
A new enemy is born
Stirring prejudice and fear
Awake the flame of hate and despise
Marionettes standing in line again
You wash your fucking greedy hands
In the blood of your puppets
But none of the drops
Will soil your white vest
You are wasting human material
To get your stinking cash
Show them the enemy
Show them your incapacity
Creature of the swamp of corruption
(You are) pregnant with ugly lies
Breeding out plans of horror
To replace yourself in the first line
Greedy Bastard
Tyrant of Fear
Who is the scoundrel?
Who may stop you?
10. Life's Missing Content
Too much pride
(and) hidden hate
Taste of blood
Pain awaits
Seeing red
Fulfilled frustration
Violence
Mental alienation
Slipping into
A violent role
It’s all caused by
Life’s missing content
11. Mankind's Suicide
The sky above is burning red
Mushroom clouds rise
Nerve gas fills the air
Suffocates all life
The world is forever ruined
Destruction, contamination
Mankind’s suicide - your eyes bleed red!
Radioactive radiation
Burns away your skin
You try to scream helplessly
Acid melts your lungs
They have gone too far
Inevitable destiny
They stepped beyond the line
No return - violent death
Where once was life - stench of death
Where once was light - eternal frost
The mortal remains of the earth
All hope destroyed - forever lost
Beyond the point of no return
There’s nothing left - rotten soil
All memories will fade away
Final silence - frozen fate
Stand there watching - death approaching
Systematic self destruction
In your veins - the blood is freezing
Mankind’s suicide - global genocide
The final chapter has arrived
As your eyes close in sorrow
Falling down to your knees
As atomic light flashes through your mind
12. Technical Doom
Turn on TV, turn out your brain
Don’t think, just watch
Becoming a slave to media shit
Don’t question your new god!
Obey your doom - let your mind be fucked
Obey your master - make your eyes get stuck
You’re just a puppet in a sick game
And you are simply not willing to win
Let bullshit take control over you
Mindkilling machinery’s gonna get you
Sacrifice your low imagination
Just go ahead
Obey your doom - let your mind be fucked
Obey your master - make your eyes get stuck
You’re just a puppet in a sick game
It offers you nothing more to be learned
Why don’t you break out and fuck all this shit
An empty shell has to be filled, hasn’t it?
Consuming this technical, addictive drug
It just does’nt seem that you yet had enough!
Obey your doom - let your mind be fucked
Obey your master - make your eyes get stuck
You’re just a puppet in a sick game
Will you wake up or is it too late?
You can’t stand the power of this technical doom
Sucking on you, addict, it will kill your raped mind soon
Believing in what you get served every day
Foolish you’re kissing the screen, then you pay
Turn on TV, turn out your brain
Don’t think, just watch
Get ready for brainwash
Becoming a slave to media shit
Don’t question your new god!
13. Disease
Bearing an enormous hate
Against all this racist bullshit
Why can’t we end this madness?
Hunting the innocent
Forced by meaningless paroles
Blinded by their own stupidity
They do not show any remorse
An ideological disease,
A flame that scorchs with boiling heat
Using music to spread their lies
Until another one violently dies
Stepping on humanity’s head
Breaking bones with no regret
They are dysfunctions in our society
To know of their existence is a tragedy
Cowardice is the fertilizer
That feeds their futile, breeding soil
The harvest of the next generation
It must wither with zero tolerance
To cure this disease
Is what we need
Bearing an enormous hate
Against all this racist bullshit
Why can’t we end this madness?
History still exists today
It causes all their minds’ decay
The result, total elimination
Of our freedom
Internal sickness which eats our bodies
Viruses of human creation
Crawling down our throats so slowly
Intruding every living cell
Stepping on humanity’s head
Breaking bones with no regret
They are dysfunctions in our society
To know of their existence is a tragedy
To cure this disease
Is what we need!
Their disease
Sickening us permanently
Stealing all our power and strength
We’re searching for immunity
It attacks us from behind
Their disease
14. Crawling (Up Your Spine)
Crawling slowly up your spine
Unperceived infection
Virus spreading in the brain
Disease unfolding, sick injection
Disintegrating fragile mind
Cerebral perforation
Disappearing memories
Holes filled with darkness and fear
Death comes from inside unseen
Hidden behind confusing symptoms
Collapsing personality
Degenerating internal structure
Crawling up your spine
Defenselessness, opened wide
Control disabled, you lose the fight
Superior enemy invisible
Helplessly, beaten from inside
The king loses his pawns
Presumptuous manoeuvres suffer defeat
The pawns die, so will the king
Shock to the system
Crawling up your spine
15. Unknown Brutality
