German Shit 04:32
German Shit Twilight in the valley of ignorance Security-locks and blinds to hide away from it all Nightfall over the hills of discontent the light from the steamy windows barely finds the next wall They feel left behind and rightly so 'cause the intelligent ones left long ago and now there's a dismal community They seldom meet and don't want to see that they are united through illness and apathy and hate and a slow internet Let's all shed a tear for the valley of ignorance and fear let us stand in awe before their pains Let's all shed a tear for the valley of ignorance and fear You're gonna meet nice people here if you're not killed by the others first. Daybreak on the fields of malevolence a bus full of foreign people and the "civilized" world on opposite sides Flashlights across the faces of emptiness on uniforms that mean order and protect what is right These children are threats 'cause they are likely to stay and there are no jobs but they will take them away from a dying community Exotic dreams but no reality here are defenders of christian morality that smears the swastika on the church But you have to understand they are just worried and thy don't know what to do You must respect their views they don't know a thing - but they are voters too Let's all give a cheer for the valley of ignorance and fear You're gonna meet nice people here if you're not killed by the idiots We gonna close our ears once more and when we close the door in our own shit we will drown and german shit is always brown.

Future Imperfect A little place to stay a little place to rest and to be free A house upon a hill with views across the plain or to the sea Birds singing in the trees softly the summer breeze moving curtains white windows bright Light flooding through he halls pictures all over the walls showing the happy days – your smilng face And can perfection be obtained? There's still the notion that perfect beauty has to be stained The house upon the hill we know it is somewhere or will be built But here's the thing that bothers me: I'm easily bored with what I can see and have - and fall for what I don't And can perfection be obrtained or is perfection already stained by having no other side? We are the ones existence saves all peace and quiet for their graves. We are godlike We are stardust We are unsatisfied

Hi, Gene! 05:35
Hi, Gene! Principles follow order and standards must be kept – we wash our hands the virtues of hygiene Keeping yourself in order – now that's what grown ups do they wash their hands after they smacked the face of children And we are washing our hands to stay clean And I am washing my hands again And we are killing politely and civilized Shaking the hands of butchers unspoken protocols we wash our hands the treaties are arranged Infection disinfection and when the table is set we wash our hands and after we've thrown up the surplus We are washing our hands (Pontius Pilate – Patron Saint) We are washing out hands to stay clean Doctors wash their hands Mengele washed his hands Butchers wash their hands Mao washed his hands We all wash our hands – you see. Rubbing he skin off our bones as we're desperately attempting to stay clean Already numb from the strain and ankle deep in blood we are washing our hands And we are killing politely 'cause we are civilized And the blood and tears on our high cultured hands will stay ask all the waters of the mediterranian sea to wash it away

Geocentric Minds Nice try to betray yourself Go on, exculpate yourself Swallow, die from an overdose of painkillers Strive for individuality by means of availability Believe – but the plain simple truth is neither simple nor the truth. And everyone creates or chooses his own world the borders and the states the urge to rule alone in ignorant grace And everybody lives and dies in his own world as tyrants and as slaves absolutism finds geocentric minds Digital mass reproduction and we are still reproducing ourselves Procreate on the bodies of those who came first And their tales have been told Say what has been said before Rise go break the open door Shout resign they all smile at their smartphones – why don't they smile at me? And everyone creates... We're mending the doors in a house that has been bombed into ruins We're still finding sense in senseless things 'cause that's what we're looking for And it's been said before but that doesn't mean it has not to be said again Life is to die for – Love is Fuck

All Heroes Must Die Remember the steps in the corridor Envision the coat on the hook The flickering ghosts from a TV screen and as you open the lock – the key slips out of your hand All heroes must die but who cares about a funeral as it's such a lovely day You go ahead I will follow no need for us to stay And change is a good thing – and somehow we've changed. And I watch another movie with dead people acting And I listen to music with dead people singing And I look at a picture ith dead people smiling And as I look up, a bird hits the window and dies And who cares about a funeral many miles away All heroes must die and change is a good thing we could be heroes but not today And who cares about mortality as it's such a lovely day And I won't stay awake now just for sleeping better then. All heroes must die and change is a good thing Something has changed.

about

Tis EP is an addendum to the album "Dysangelist" alexanderdust.bandcamp.com/album/dysangelist. Its five songs were put aside not due to lack of quality but because of their unique character that seemed to deserve a special environment. The tone of the lyrics is more direct and refers more obvious to certain events and situations of todays social and political landscape - be it Germany or elsewhere. In certain times you have to make a statement - and here it is.
