2. Restless Live

I've got to stand up in the morning got to work
To earn some money to spend it on crap
I have to work a lot to get my pension paid
To buy a house and a car to get my family red

These are not my goals, this is not my world
Against my own will
I'm leading such a restless life

We're just a wheel in this big machine
Which catches us in the moment we're born
But I'm going to break out and if it has to be
I'll crush everything that stands in my way

These are not my social values, they will never be
I'm fed up and tired with this society
I want to choose for myself 'cause this life is mine
And not do those things which cost so much time

3. Fly

Hey there, is there still a free will
Deep down in this body, deep inside of this shell
I'm searching for the rest of personality
That helps to survive in this human hell
A bit of wild-life, animal spirits
Which set us apart from machines
Are waiting down threre to fly with our mind
To help us remember what life means

Be ready to free the animal in yourself
To forget the ground to where we are bound
Be ready to fly to the secrets of our soul
So come on, forget your shame
And try to howl with the wolves
Try just once to catch the deer with your bare hands
Don't be afraid try to break out to remember who you are

After this visit to the animal in ourselves
We maybe understand the sense of being here
We are no puppets in nobody's hands
No one can kill the animal – it's our free will

4. Admission Free

Welcome to the freakshow
The admission is free
Welcome to the freakshow
Take a seat and watch with me

I'm sitting in a streetcafe
Drinking some milky coffees
I'm leaning back to watch the show
I'm already enjoying for hours

So this is supposed to be the top of evolution
But I've never seen such stupidity on an animal's face
If this is the best nature ever created
We're really living in a poor world

Welcome...

Hypocrites, liars, creeps, cretins...
I can read it in your faces
Bootlickers, swots, tyrants, spongers...
I can read it in your faces

Meanwhile I'm drinking beer
But I can't laugh anymore
Instead horror is taking over
More and more terrible faces pass

I finish my beer and walk home
I try to walk slowly and not the panic
Still the freakshow is everywhere around me
I'm damned to be a spectator for the rest of my life

This nightmare will never end!

5. The Play

Now the final curtain fall
And the audience goes home
Just one lonely man remains
He's got time to think

Aren't we all just actors
Trying to play our role
Too blind to see the audience
In the play of our lives

We cry, we fail, we win, we laugh
Seek wisdom in our life's first half
In the second we are content with what we've got
Or we just resignate but we won't change the plot

Life does on without a care
If we can use it or not
And sometimes there's a single man
Who makes it end with the final shot

Was he weaker 'cause he chose the easy way
To solve problems which seemed to big
Was he stronger 'cause it takes some courage
To pull the trigger to make it quick

In the end you won't get any applause
You'll know for yourself if you did it right
But you will hear the audience's final laugh
If you gave up or lost the fight

7. The Lie

More than eighty years have passed
Since you first saw the light of earth
Your bones became weak now, your skin so wrinkled
You'll soon lie in the arms of death

The cross on the wall was always with you
It joined you on every step in your life
And now you're waiting for the great reception
Up there in heaven when you'll arrive

Do you believe that at the end of your journey
You will see the divine light?
Do you think there is an angels' choir
Which will sing for you so sweet and bright?
Don't you believe that it was all a lie
And there's still time to start denying?
On't you think that you will end up just
Rotting in your grave where you'll be lying?
The divine light – just a lie!
You think that you had a good life
Cause you went to church on every Sunday?
So is that the reason why on other places
People starve – they have no church to pray?

Is only reason for all the wars
Where people are raped, turtured and murdered
That they missed to go to church regularly
To sing their praises as god ordered?

But you don't wanna listen to all this crap
You prefer to stay blind till you die
You think this all makes sense 'cause it's His way
You're just one more victim of this big lie

8. Into The Night

The daylight is far too bright
There's too much rush too much noise
It claims all our strengh
The shedding of blood, sweat and tears
Hastily hurries the day
Steals the time and every muse
But after is stormed over you
The falling dusk compesantes

Dive into the night
Let the night embrace you
The moon shines on your way
Guides you into rest and peace

The night blossoms from the sky
The moon is the honey it gives
It offers protection and refuge
Places to hide or open streets to stroll

9. Living You

I'm just a guy. You don't even notice
Almost not existing. In your glamorous world
I'm now the demon in your soul
I'm now the shadow in your mind
You might not notice but I'm inside of you

I manipulate your thoughts
When you least need it
I make you doing things
Which you might hate
But you're doing them
For my lust – for my pleasure

I'm guiding you
I'm steering your moves
I'm living you

There was so many who admired you

Now they turn away for your behaviour
And least you'd think it's me
I'm wrecking your soul
I'm driving you insane, I'm inside of you

You could have chosen me from the start
And might have escaped the pain
But now it's too late – I took on your mind
I am living you

Don't ask about spells I don't know any
Don't ask about psycholigic tricks
Don't ask if I've made a contract with satan
I don't believe that he really exist
Don't ask how I came inside of your mind
I can't answer that but be sure I'm there

10. Nervous Breakdown

I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown everywhere
I'm going or staying I suffer I can't take any more of this shit
I need a restful island to recover

My heart is pounding. My heart is hurting
This is the verge of a nervous breakdown

I'm on the verge...

My hands are sweating. My knees are shaking
This is the verge of nervous breakdown
The silence of my room threatened to crush me
I stumbled outside but it got worse
Wave after wave of people are breaking against me
I'm finally spotting a restful island in the middle of this hell

I'm on the verge...

My hands was sweating. My knees were shaking
This was the verge of nervous breakdown
Inside the pub I'm meeting four guys who are like-minded
Who also managed to escape from that hell outside
The beer is cool the mood is changing, we're starting to recover
We're soon sure that we will survive another day or more
