Forever 1985
Behold! This is no drill
This is the real thing
For this is the craving against your own true will
This is the turnaround
A door into the ocean wide
A last stand for those of you
Who are willing to fight
Up the hill of worms
And into the woods of fright
No need to argue against the dying
The dying of the light
Raise your hands in the air and pray
Throw it all away
Yesterday’s a glory nation
A Fatherland of your own creation
A better scene
A better sound
A truer, a darker underground
You are
Forever lost in never
Forever 1985
Forever lost in never
Have you ever felt more alive?
Forever lost in never
Forever 1985
Hammer nostalgia hits you hard
Driving your senses apart
Back to basics
Back to school
Denying the nightmare
Living by the rule
The past is forever
Significant other
A treasured possession
The one true lesson
Tomorrow is gone
Yesterday is forever
Happily ever after
All together now
Forever lost in never
Forever 1985
Forever lost in never
Have you ever felt more alive?
Forever lost in never
Forever 1985
Hammer nostalgia hits you hard
Driving your senses apart
Forever 1985

Adrift

Adrift
Through darkness of future past
Forever lost
Keep laughing at your peril
Beating the drum of mundane madness
Ringing the bell at the Grand Hotel Abyss
Ego, Ego let me in
I’m here by own free will
Adrift
Where you stumble, lies the treasure
Adrift
The benefit of doubt
What’s your pleasure?
It’s so easy to get turned around
By that familiar noise and a different sound
The very cave you’re afraid to enter
Turns out to be the very centre
Of what you’re looking for
A luminous, a different shore
Ego, Ego let me in
I’m here by own free will
Adrift
Where you stumble, lies the treasure
Adrift
The benefit of doubt
What’s your pleasure?
Ego, Ego let me in
I’m here by own free will

Walk On The Mirror
When eyes start to wander
And the colours scream
Behold! The melting dream
Molly’s forever talking
“What’s in the rose dear?”
There in the corner, the box of fear
Should we stop
Pretending it is real
Pretending it is real
Take a walk on the mirror
Take a trip inside
In the perfume garden
Everything’s alright
May we see the sun go down
And never rise again
Damn the morning light
Such a devil in disguise
“What’s with the Lilly dear?”
“You don’t wanna know”
Hitting the low
Should we stop
Pretending it is real
Pretending it is real
Take a walk on the mirror
Take a trip inside
In the perfume garden
Everything’s alright
Should we stop
Pretending it is real
Pretending it is real

Passion Project
The more we fear the future
The more we recycle the past
Anniversary obsession
I know you want it to last
Time is up
I hate to spoil all the fun
Time is up
You better take the money and
Run, run, run
Give me a passion project
Another old-school song
Another reason to make you listen
To the same tune
On and on
On and on
A not so splendid isolation
For our drama generation
We won the war but lost the peace
In an echo bunker nightmare
All at ease
Such great disco dancers
Such a conversational dream
Oh my cynical obsession
Two steps ahead and
One, two, three back again
Give me a passion project
Another old-school song
Another reason to make you listen
To the same tune
On and on
On and on
Two steps ahead and
One, two, three back again

The Horror

The Horror
It goes without saying
The will for reason is gone
They rather beat the iron drum
Everyone’s running
But no one knows where
Double or nothing
Come on!
Don’t you dare?
This is Horror
A scarlet letter
Have you eaten from the insane root?
A bite from the forbidden fruit
Cut
We must be dreaming
Cut
This is the Horror
Cut

The Futurist

The Futurist
Are we hitting rock bottom now?
Have we arrived at the last scene?
He smells a plot hole
He knows the theme
Don’t worry your life vest is under your seat
And the economy is thriving
And no pigs were harmed in this song
He’s a futurist
He believes in tomorrow’s land
He’s a futurist
He believes in “Vorsprung durch Technik”
You can become a hero
When you learn to count down to zero
All the people back in Dora-Camp
May they haunt you to the very end
Haven’t you learned by now
The enemy of progress is perfection
Haven’t you learned by now
Your need for control
Determines your lack of love
He’s a futurist
He believes in tomorrow’s land
He’s a futurist
He believes in “Vorsprung durch Technik”
You can become a hero
When you learn to count down to zero
All the people back in Dora-Camp
May they haunt you to the very end
A futurist

Toxic Express

Toxic Express
Full steam ahead
All engines up and running
It’s my way or the highway
Full steam ahead
I’m asking for trouble
I’m just here to pick up a fight
All aboard, aboard, aboard, aboard
This is the Toxic Express
On our way to excess
The air is sick with drama
It’s a delirious quest
An assault on reason
I’m an expert in anything
A Mr. knows-it-all for everything
A true believer in the age of complaint
All aboard, aboard, aboard, aboard
This is the Toxic Express
On our way to excess

A War That Never Was
02:28
|

A War That Never Was
Two armies assembled in the mists of fall
Marching proud and tall
The flags and banners raised up high
Still children to the core
Marching for a Fatherland
Built on castles made of sand
They said a storm was coming
But is was barely a breeze
And the scales fell from their eyes?
Incendiary lies
And in the end they never fought
In a war that never was
They buried their arms
And burned all the flags
And in the end they never fought
In a war that never was
Welcome to Motherland
Without castles made of sand
They shall never march again
They shall never march again

Straight & Narrow

Straight & Narrow
Don’t need to read the book
Rather judge it by its cover
A professional anorak
On the path of straight and narrow
Here comes the roll call
Stand still when spoken to
Here comes the roll call
Doesn’t it even bother you?
So straight and narrow
High on fear and sorrow
Nutopia
Nutopia
Under perfectious control
The twilight of the gods
The ultimate goal
The kings of faith
Are riding again
Victorious day for all of them
The negation of the golden rule
A tribulation for another fool
Evil buildings
And red painted cars
They are going to eat us
Was für ein Spaß!
So straight and narrow
High on fear and sorrow
Nutopia
Nutopia
Under perfectious control
The twilight of the gods
The ultimate goal
Evil buildings
And red painted cars
They are going to eat us
Was für ein Spaß!

The I In The Void

The I In The Void
I remember me from tomorrow
From revolution to revelation
In a heartbeat, in less than a day
Turn of the tide has come
And tyrants reign supreme
Everything
Will melt away
Everything
One day
Finding there ain't no answer to find
Detached from what I thought I would be
Tell me, are you not tired of being so angry?
So angry
Into the void
Stripped to the bone
Into the void
I’m coming home
Into the void
Stripped to the bone
Into the void
I’m coming home
Everything
Will melt away
Everything
One day
