Their eyes are kept on us like vultures waiting for the next prey. Independence is at stake.
And no one turned the tide. And no one changed their minds. We gave up our stance, we gave up the fight, suburban denial, breaking the mold. Killing capitalism from the inside out is still a joke.
Tonight, we sacrifice what we have lost. Tonight, we praise ourselves. Take a stand deny! We’ll find some sort of truth at any cost. If self-delusion works.
All your fame will be gone. All your green won’t last long. You have lost our trust like the others. Liars and cheaters, we won’t reach out. Your foundation’s cracking. You’ve built a lie on our own ashes.
We claim to be for real, pretending a strong voice, defying our tears, repeating the wrong choice.
We sing a stolen song, we chant a dusty slogan, forget about our origins, neglect where we came from. Most of the precious goods ain’t monetary. Creative minds are not for sale. Our words must turn into a weapon. Art ain’t no product just like everything else.

We Bleed The Same

Accusations cut deep. A life as we know it and a friendship will soon cease. Rejection hits hard. Scars will remain and we’ll never be the same.
One simple word can hurt so fast. Some simple words define a life. And we would get along. We would pursue a dream. Life without regrets, the real deal.
Let the best of times prevail and we may meet again next holiday. Will we prevent talking about your bitterness, suffering and fears and how your life falls apart?
And we know, we know we bleed the same. One life, no second trial. You’ve got to go it alone!
Those empty days, your stolen years, have meant so much. More than you claim. Did I earn your trust or did you sell your soul for an empty heart and fake goals?
A life of illusions, ideals get burned away. The tragic of aging. Avoidance leads astray. A world in despair, we’re born to cease existence. One single act could break, could break the silence.

Simple things we take for granted won’t last forever.
Are you still at ease keeping calm? Do you avoid speaking out what for sure burns inside of you for a whole lifetime? All the fighting, getting pressure all along the way. Have you found a rest?
While we speak no one listens to our stories and our warnings.
Just the two of us and the last few working on a dream. We chose to resist.
Questioning the world, don’t count me out getting the things done, that made us proud.
Images in mind will remain for a life. A tight bond, a brotherhood, almost a friendship. Noble aims and inglorious endings. What keeps you going? What’s of value now?
Growing old and getting wise. Losing sight. Fading away.

A Chain Of Guilt
02:48

As I look back in retrospect now that half of the mileage at least is done. I assume nothing changed for the better and no one stayed the same. Digging in the past hurts again. No questions shall be raised.
There must be something I’ve found over the years. Am I the one who can break a chain of guilt? Will I just drown in the sea of frustration? Can I help to save a life?
Am I still pissed to the present day? We know you hide your true self under that mask. The saddest days and a mouthful of anger is what you’ve left behind. Lost my faith in your god and his villains. I hope you pray in vain.
For years when we grew up, we laughed, cried and we rocked together and we still had no clue. And after all I see the mental pain that grows underneath a smiling face. We are one - fuck it! Our common blood never meant so much to me that I’ll take part in a history of lies, a life of betrayal, the image of a perfect family.
Your Christian mask hides not the devil. It just covers a guilty soul.
