1. Intro
2. Disease
I’m reaching out for salvation, reaching out for something new
but I’ll never be so perfect, assimilated just like you
I’m not here in this world to be what you want me to be
Doesn’t life owe me?
don’t I deserve some time (for myself)?
I wanna take you down into the deepest black
where the sun will never shine
And I hate all the people, every single one
they wonder why they can’t see clearly but they’re staring at the sun
and I hate all the sinners, and I hate all the saints
they wonder why they feel so weak but they got poison in their veins
I’m a stranger to myself, I feel guilty all the time
I can’t change all the things, all the pain and misery
but ain’t this still better than total apathy
I just can’t love you anymore
I just can’t live life anymore
I just can’t pray for you anymore
I just can’t see disease anymore

3. One Day
What is left to tell about
just a few more wasted words
spoken now, forgotten next
and I feel so unimportant
Life is too short to live it for somebody else
don't waste your time with useless conversation
I wish I could live my life this way right now
again and again I ask God for something like salvation
Will my prayers be answered
will my prayers be answered
will my prayers be answered
one day
Time is marching on and on
showing no feeling, no mercy
words will never last forever
today's words are gone tomorrow
I know what is right and I know what is wrong
but what I do is not what I want or what I think
my life runs through time and pulls me through
somewhere between now and then must be some missing link

4. Something Like Home
So much has been said, so much has been done
and it’s hard to realize that the past is forever gone
we still sing the same old happy songs, but they lost their meaning
some time ago we felt untouchable, today we just feel nothing
After all we headed nowhere
after all I‘m still alone
and between hope and despair
I found something like home
I want to throw my hate on the world, but it all comes back to me
is anyone of us really free or do we live in our own slavery
did I really think that my life is a road to the promised land
that road that seemed so long and bright is only a dead end
I close my eyes and I fall
I can’t trust myself anymore
what keeps me from going under
in oceans without a shore

5. Cover me
You're living in a dream and you're afraid to be awake
the truth that awaits you there would be too hard to take
you love the child who will hate you one day
and you trust the ones who will always betray
You will love me the best you can
my halo shows who I am
everything I speak is true
I wanna see belief in you
You see the fear even if you close your eyes
you never feel alive because you know that everything dies
Will ove always find a way? It's just a phrase
coz love has betrayed you in so many ways
Cover me in innocence
cover me in beauty
cover me in your blood
cover me, cover me, cover me
born as your new prophet is what I wanna be
tell me who's the greatest one
tell me that it's me
tell me who do you obey
born as your new prophet is what I wanna be
Believe in me, I speak the words of God
don't say you're well on your own coz you're not

6. Fading Slowly
We’ve never been alive, never been awake
trapped in a coma calles existence
take all the empty space of eternity
and try to fill it with sense
we’ve got placebos which make us feel healed
but they just make us even sicker
TV, religion, government pull our strings
and we wonder why it tastes so bitter
Nothing is like it seems
I have seen the truth in my dreams
now I feel my own vulnerability
now I feel worlds crumbling down in me
Sacred lives
sacred lies
leading us into decay
sacred words
sacred hurts
let us die every day
Slowly fading away
You say you want another life but not your own
you think this could satisfy you
no destiny, live life to end it fast
no control, there is nothing you can do
the light of your star is burnt out forever
faded away from the sky
your angel has fallen down from heaven
I have seen him die

7. Menda City
Surburban lifestyle paradise
A green oasis made of lies
Beautiful people plastic brains
Cloned opinions bloodless veins
You’re too stupid just to be
You’re so simple just like me
You’re too fragile can’t you see
Welcome to Mendacity
One religion one true god
One opinion and one plot
Human beings who believe
Weakwilled robots who receive
You’re too stupid just to be
You’re so simple just like me
You’re too fragile can’t you see
Welcome to Mendacity
Fit the system don’t resist
There’s no sense in raising your fist
No true feelings or desires
In world that’s ruled by liars
You’re too stupid just to be
You’re so simple just like me
You’re too fragile can’t you see
Welcome to Mendacity

8. Dreams of Escape
I’m so bored, my soul is too tired to see
I stand alone against the shadow of my life
Everything collapses, there’s nothing left for me
There comes the end of this day, the end of my strife
Haunted by the things for which I wait
Nothing lives in my weak heart but dreams of escape
Now my world’s falling to pieces
just some wasted years and shattered dreams
I don’t love myself anymore
and I guess nothing will ever change
I’m not sure
how can I be sure
The sky has changed its colour
Into something I don’t know and don’t want to
I never believed in what people said
And now I even don’t believe myself
I’m not sure
How can I be sure

9. Without a Name
Breathing in, breathing out – death encloses
Now you’re a star, now you’re not – this is showbiz
People come and people go – born without a future
Stupid, numb, assimilated – just the way you are
Forgiveness, forgiveness
Pray for forgiveness
You are disposable as anybody else
Hell is here, hell is on Earth – we’ve built it ourselves
Help me to survive this – here where decay dwells
One by one they’re going down – they can never be free
Life’s not sweet, life is no candy – as it is on TV

10. Unborn
Every time I want to disappear
Every time I want to be like them
You tried to change the world
But you ruined it instead
The past will always follow
The grief is still alive
It all has become so weak and hollow
The unborn always survive
Nothing is so simple
Nothing is like you said
You tried to save the world
But you just saved yourself

11. Birgerinitiative (Hidden Track)
Heute hab’ ich eine Katze überfahren
Ich fühlte mich dabei wie Gott
Wo einst vier Pfoten und ein Köpfchen waren
Sind jetzt nur noch vier Kilo Kompott
Ich dachte mir „Das reicht noch nicht“
Bei mir gilt „Frauen und Kinder zu erst“
Denn Du bist hier jüngstes Gericht
Wenn Du sie einfach überfährst
Niemand entkommt meinem Zorn
Ich geb’ Euch das volle Brett von vorn
Denn ich bin flink wie ein Wiesel
Mit meinem Polo Turbodiesel
In mir kocht die blanke Wut
Da seit fünfundachtzig alles scheiße ist
Nur was ich mag ist wirklich gut
Nenn’ mich doch Musikfaschist
Es gibt Leute die das anders sehen
Meine Meinung wollen sie nicht akzeptieren
Sie werden es aber schon verstehen
Wenn sie unter einer Tonne VW krepieren
