1.
We’re given hands and stones To build a humble home We found ourselves too small And paved our streets with gold This is where we have raged Where bones cover the ground We sold our souls to hell We are the lost, not found We feel invincible although our bodies break We need to let it go This is the hardest thing We’ve got in our hearts To burn this city down And build a brand new world Where love and peace is sown
2.
The grass is the greenest The water cooler But it’s never like it sounds When everything’s magic And birds carry freedom in their mouths A wreck in the sea Just one chance And waves crashing in I adore you My little heart…. And it’s falling apart I’ve always been thinking It’s a blessing and a curse How could I stop? Everything is reminding me of the days it was both This is the duel of the tides We both unite
3.
We consume but never shined with discipline We speak out secrets we should keep Did you ever just get up to say your love how great she was? And lay down truth to our feet My dear I never had the plan to break up with my home again I never heard the screaming We ignore the warnings of our little Earth Are we all too blind to see? Did you ever just get up to clean this world from dirty glass? The cuttings in my feet attest I feel a thousand words are said. I listen to myself these days I’m grown up, I am older The people come, the people go and I don’t stay the same at all Make sure you get the meaning I say that being good means to beat the bad And kill the killer in your head Be there for every friend who needs your ear to soak up problems and his fear
4.
We build the union of the broken dreams We are the fruits of rotten gallows-trees We ride the waves of hollow screams And break into your dreams …and kinda scare you I’m tired of the fighting everyday Of fever, cancer and atrocity Our bodies end up in smoke And we all become the ghosts Hold on little child I catch your tears before they hit the asphalt When angels sing the anthem of the never ending People start to think about their lives And praise a God they didn’t know a day before I read the story of a man, written down with bloody hands It’s got the smell of dust and dirt I know it’s pain and know it’s worth All I ever thought to know was wrong and didn’t glow I needed to refill my heart and put my feet back to the start
5.
Into the underground Rotten bodies of Berlin They didn’t know what they do (You’re just a snake, you’re just a whore, a dirty lie I can’t take no more So many years I longed for you I felt a love so pure and true) Do you feel the pain? You’re nothing as a rat to me Somehow insane how you push my body to the knees Do you feel the shame? You’re just a fucking snake to me Somehow insane that I let you curling up my veins They’re drugged up to the eyeballs Morphine is running out Oh God You’ve got the pestilence, whore The pain is crawling up your veins

Fathers 05:55
We all say we’re alright but truly mean we all fight I cut the pride out of my life I admit I’m angry, you’re always too busy You see the child in me has gone It’s not that I miss you, just hope that that’s not you You’ve got that demon in your mind You drink out the bottle to piss on your values But never question your own way We all fight against our ghosts And we are all just sons of loving ones We all are the kings in someone’s life So start being kinglike in your mind I’ve always shown mercy and never screamed heresy You never felt remorse I admit I’m angry, you’re always too thirsty I see my idol is a punk I stand here in the floodlights and can’t believe it’s true We are running out of time and I want to run with you Step by step with every ticking of the clock I see the finish line and hold your hand in mine Our fathers…
7.
Settle Down 04:36
Hold me back knocking my head against the wall Take my hand and take me somewhere we can rest Far away from city lights and working fights and taxes we can’t pay We sit there on the ground and watch the world go down And the universe explodes We listen to the sound, I feel the blast around And close my eyes for one last time We settle down where no one built a town Where nothing is around but you my dear Take my mind, save it from some bad ideas Now that you know what I do fear Hold me tight; I feel your love rise up from inside We sit there on the ground and watch the whole thing going down My eyeballs split in the light The earth quakes all around, the fire’s burning in my mouth I scream your name for one last time and hear that echo, it halls inside
8.
Noah 04:19
I saw you taking something from the altar in this house You stole it from the innocent to use it for yourself A little thing to join your wealth, a big thing for the poor It’s written on your face that all you think about is you We are the rotten in this maze And greed is carved in every face Got tangled hard in our guts There is no light or even space We lost our way, there is no peace There are no angels on this feast All we do is fatten up and waiting for a free release We are liars; we are cheaters, proud of being non-believers Dig the graves for ourselves, still hoping nothing will defeat us Give me a boat, build an ark -Noah-… catch me up -Noah- … shelter my heart -Noah- …I’m sorry for my fallibility …end this misery
