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!
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.
