Resistance

[Verse]
Throw away any morality
Your name is supposed to represent wealth
Completely normal are your people
Your friends wish so much to be like you
Never grimace
Because there is nothing that is worth the wrinkles
 
[Chorus]
And resist the resistance
Stand firmly at the side
At the edge of everything that happens
 
[Verse]
Never show who you stick to
Know that everyone moves between friend and foe
And never admit to yourself
That you are small and alone
So small and alone
 
[Chorus]
And resist the resistance
Stand firmly at the side
At the edge of the happening
Let it happen
What is meant to happen happens
Never grimace
That way no one targets you
 
[Chorus]
And resist the resistance
Stand firmly at the side
At the edge of the happening
Let it happen
What is meant to happen happens
Never grimace
That way no one targets you
 
[Bridge]
And resist the resistance
Resist
Do it exactly
Do it exactly like our country
 
[Hook]
Be a flag in the wind
A voice in the choir
Only the truly stupid fish swim against the current
 
[Hook]
Be a flag in the wind
A voice in the choir
Only the truly stupid fish swim against the current
 
[Hook]
Be a flag in the wind
A voice in the choir
Only the truly stupid fish swim against the current

I assume

Belle:
I assume, he is tender
Suddenly he feels irrestistible
I fall in love
Yesterday I couldn't know
I'd get a friend from him
 
Beast:
She looks at me, smiling
And when she touches me, my hand shakes
It's true, she's smiling
She captures me completely
With her gaze
 
Belle:
New and wonderful
Who could've known this would happen?
He's not a beautiful prince
But I guess beauty isn't always seen from outside
 
Lumiere:
Who would've guessed?
 
Mrs. Potts:
Oh god, that's right
 
Lumiere:
I didn't know
 
Mrs. Potts:
Nobody did
 
Lumiere:
That they're enjoying there so very well
 
Mrs. Potts:
It's really odd
 
Lumiere & Mrs. Potss:
We're watching
Now the day two
If the relationship would
Grow to be stronger
 
Cogsworth:
Oh I wish their relationship would grow to be stronger
 
Mrs. Potts:
If the relationship would grow to be stronger

Tse

A picture of you, came to me as well
A picture of you ,from the outlands
 
It is one of those which the students keep
It is one of those which the stoolie rip them off.
It is one of those which the students hang...
to theirs hurt..
Che Guevara
 
Close the window
block the doors up
I am terrified of the man
with boots.
 
What do he ask for (want)?...and he walks into the shadows all the time.
What do he want ?.. and he asks about You all the time.
What do he want ?.. and he looks at our home..
every night.
Che Guevara
 
So many roses
burned them all the snow
Oh! this spring
makes me bleed

Happier


Go away, I know how to lose
You made a confession
You're somebody else's, you are different
The love has come to an end
Go away, you belong to him now
 
Ref:
Let him make you happier
I pray that he'll give you the love
Just don't let him to forget
He took everything from me with you
I want to see you happier -
Smiling, not like this time
Because when the love is not enough
It just leaves without any guilt
 
Go away, I know how to lose
You made a confession
We both trusted in this mistake
Me and you until now
Go away, you belong to him now

Istanbul

Versions: #2
Every five minutes against the haste of its engine
I am getting on the unknown
Behind me seagulls in rush
 
It's time to leave
You now, my love
All four sides are adhan*
Ferry, ferry, the bosporus
 
My voice is
My eyes of thousands today
Your eyes are Istanbul
Istanbul is your eyes today
Your eyes are Istanbul
Istanbul is your face today
 
Every five minutes against the haste of its engine
I am getting on the unknown
Behind me seagulls in rush
 
It's time to leave
You now, my love
All four sides are adhan
Ferry, ferry, the bosporus
 
How come your eyes are
Such a pair of sorrow
Your hands are Istanbul
Istanbul is your hands today
Your hands are Istanbul
Istanbul is sorrow today

Pijan

Ne slušaju me osećaji,
Spotičem se ali ti još uvek ne vidiš,
ne pomažu mi ni psovke kada razmišljam o tebi
Pristajem da se uništavam
 
Pijan, biću pijan
Ali još ću razmišljati o tebi
Ujutru u komi
Ja tražiću tvoje usne
Za jedan tvoj poljubac,
za jedan tvoj poljubac,
pijan, biću pijan
A ti ćeš biti kriva.
 
Sa toliko izgubljenih snova
Šta je ostalo za mene
Ponovo ću postići da negde pijem
Ja više neću biti ja
 
Pijan, biću pijan
Ali još ću razmišljati o tebi
Ujutru u komi
Ja tražiću tvoje usne
Za jedan tvoj poljubac,
za jedan tvoj poljubac,
pijan, biću pijan
A ti ćeš biti kriva.

Desert

On a chill morning, the wind blows some yellow leaves
They all crackle, they all shiver on the sidewalk
I see a series of images turning to grey
As the hoar frozen on my fiery memories
We grew cold, my heart doesn't burn anymore
I feel like I'm a dry twig
If it was up to me I wouldn't have a friend at all
Sometimes it seems like my family is a stranger
It's all my fault, sorry for everything
I'm lonely just take a look at my room
It's dark and cold, no memories at all
My heart is shivering, huddling up in the corner.
The ocean of my feelings is iced over and dry
I'm nothing but a desert
It's just now that I feel the terrible nat6ure of my deed
I really regret that I didn't take care of you
The day is hot but the night is ice cold
Being here with me it isn't worth for you
But now I would have wanted it, longing for it, begging you
If you can still take me, please be with me...
 
I would bring back our old friendship
But you would deny it if you had the chance
We blame each other, or only you blame me
I would see what you would do If you were in my place
But just go ahead, laugh , and I will cry
Just like before I will hide behind your pride
You did hide there always, that's your shelter
I still have my anger, i didn't get over it yet
You don't even deserve to be talked about
It's useless to argue for yourself
What happened to us, why is it the afterword?
What I put down will be painful , painful even as a memory,,,,
It's like I would meet the old friends just to say goodbye
Just a handshake nothing more, that's the only thing that's left
You became spineless and there's no way you change
Many dear old memories held me back till now
And I wouldn't even forgive me, if i did such thing
to put dirt on what's a desert inside
Just look at you, you already know what's left for you..
 
If you can , tell me who I am
But it's not me you know , only my shadow
Only a piece of me
I am all alone
looking into the empty desert
Tell me where I am going
 
My soul becomes empty when I think about the past
I feel it's useless to turn towards the sky
I am suffering by the pain, but I simply
shrug
The anger leads me, I shed black tears
A damned memory pokes a whole inside me
I still see as it helds me tight , but I would go
I would do it, I would ride away but chains tie me down
I play for no avail
A dark card looks back at me with sinister eyes
and it laughs as I used to laugh
You would be on my mind, but I would only tell to myself keep on repeating
you can never enter the room of this heart of mine
Screw you! I don't think about you
You whom once I called my friends
I've had enough, you don't deserve more tears
I started with you but now I am raised by the years
Sensuous farewell? The memory should rather hurt
My home is the stage , there you go ,a symbol
I don't miss you at all , don't think that I am hurting
I just feel sorry for the time that I spent on you and you..
But it doesn't mean a thing at all , at all
 
If you can , tell me who I am
But it's not me you know , only my shadow
Only a piece of me
I am all alone
looking into the empty desert
Tell me where I am going
where i am going..
 
If you can tell me who I am
But you don't know as you are not here by my side anymore
You know I am already gone
My life, my existence, I don't understand
Why didn't I ask for protection?
In the life I lived
 
If you can , tell me who I am
But it's not me you know , only my shadow
Only a piece of me
I am all alone
looking into the empty desert
Tell me where I am going
where i am going..

I Don't Know The Sapience

Versions: #2
I don't know the sapience that suits others' course,
Only fleeting impulses I put in my verse.
I see worlds in every one of my fleeting dreams,
They are full of volatile playful rainbow streams.
 
Don't accurse me, sapients. I'm not your concern.
For I'm just a little cloud, full of fiery burn.
I am just a little cloud. See: I drift from view.
And I call the dreamers up... No, I don't call you!

You’re the one who lied


Look at my eyes,
Tell me the truth,
Was I not faithful to you?
I left everyone,
I chose only you,
Tell me, maybe I made a mistake?
 
You were my only support,
I trusted my soul to you,
Now when you are also hurt like me,
Now you need me?
 
You’re the one who lied,
The one who made me cry all these nights,
Who left me in longing,
Why did you leave me when you made me believe you?
You taught me to be without you,
You’re the one who made my heart cold,
Why did you come back when I forgot you?
 
Look at my eyes,
How much the pain has hurt my heart,
I had always lived only for you,
You didn’t feel the need of me.
 
Tell me, why did you come,
Renewing my healed scars?
Weren’t you the one who played with my feelings?
 
You’re the one who lied,
The one who made cry all these nights,
Who left me in longing,
Why did you leave me when you made me believe you?
You taught me to be without you,
You’re the one who made my heart cold,
Why did you come back when I forgot you?

Black

She quickly steps aside
As we pass by her
She holds way back
She's afraid of the evil eye
The crowd in daylight
Talking about that dark shadow
Which today in the night
Wakes up to this song, too
 
[Refrain:]
They see black, but we see further
They see black, they can't understand
That our hearts are absorbed in both of our black worlds
They see black, they see black
They see black, they see black
 
They avoid sunlight
On our arm and face
They're usually outside in the night
When our song awakes
And there's more and more of us
Which comes out of every corner
We are a mystical danger
But is it really true? Yes
 
[Refrain:]
They see black, but we see further
They see black, they can't understand
That our hearts are absorbed in both of our black worlds
They see black, they see black
They see black, they see black
 
They don't look into the bright gleam
In our eyes when we dance
They don't see all the color
Speaking from our hearts
 
[Refrain:]
They see black, but we see further
They see black, they can't understand
That our hearts are absorbed in both of our black worlds
They see black, they see black
They see black, they see black

Our eyes

How wide was the old path
And long, so impassably long
How deep was the stream, I couldn't stand up in it
I was trapped inside a child
I wanted to be tall, far away from there
I wanted to tower over everything
So I ran away from that place and into today
Without questions
 
[Refrain:]
When I look into your eyes
Then I see myself deep inside myself
When I look into your eyes
Then I see myself as a small child
When I look through your eyes
I see the world in harmony
A child's questions, a child's happiness1
Oh, if only time had stopped
 
Your eyes look at me
Exactly how I once looked
And yet at some point
I simply blocked the gate to childhood
Now I see you, you're running too
My child, stop
You won't hear, you don't listen
Until the time flies away from you too
 
[Refrain:]
When I look into your eyes
Then I see myself deep inside myself
When I look into your eyes
Then I see myself as a small child
When I look through your eyes
I see the world in harmony
A child's questions, a child's happiness
Oh, if only time had stopped
 
And if ever we don't exist anymore
Then you will look in a child's eyes
You will be sad, you will embrace your child
And the years will go on
 
[Refrain:]
When I look into your eyes
Then I see myself deep inside myself
When I look into your eyes
Then I see myself as a small child
When I look through your eyes
I see the world in harmony
A child's questions, a child's happiness
Oh, if only time had stopped
If only it had stopped

Our days

Rain dies on the ground
It reflects the young night
People's footsteps echo
Everything's asleep but I'm awake
My thoughts are empty
Everything is meaningless and distracted
Every movement is difficult for me
And no one's there to answer me
 
[Refrain:]
Our days are numbered
The days have passed
Everything that keeps me here
I'll see it all free now
 
I push through the sea of people
And I'm looking for your face
When you left me yesterday
The light in my heart went out
My broken heart races tirelessly
It tears and churns me up
It burns in me with hot embers
For you and it must come out
 
[Refrain:]
Our days are numbered
The days have passed
Everything that keeps me here
I'll see it all free now
Our days are numbered
The days have passed
Every hour that goes by
I will regret
 
Because there can be nothing else here
That keeps me alive
That keeps me alive
Yet there must be something
I want to return to life
 
[Refrain:]
Our days are numbered
The days have passed
Everything that keeps me here
I'll see it all free now
Our days are numbered
The days have passed
Every hour that goes by
I will regret
 
Because there must still be something
That will let me keep living

Surfer

Always on top, from the crest of one wave to another
For a thousand nights I've gone my way
I fight through the sea spray and I'm freezing, even in the hurricane
I'm looking for your face but I can't find it!
 
Oh, if only I could conquer
That which drove me away from you
All the giant waves1 separate me from you
 
[Refrain:]
Tell me when I finally won't have to go any further
And when I'll reach you
Am I finally home?
I set off, I feel like a surfer
And then the wind and sea will send me further adrift
 
You reach out your hand to me, I can see it in my dream
And I've lost it, the earth will keep turning
But I stand still, even when the wind blows around me
Because my heart is as heavy as lead and will be my anchor
 
Why couldn't I conquer
That which drove me away from you?
All the giant waves between you and me
 
[Refrain:]
Tell me when I finally won't have to go any further
And when I'll reach you
Am I finally home?
I set off, I feel like a surfer
And then the wind and sea will send me further adrift
 
I am a surfer
I am a surfer

Symphony

Everywhere I've been something has begun
Everything I've ever seen gave me a sound
Every place sends a tone, every moment a harmony
But there's have been some rough edges for a long time1, the great final chord is missing
For my life's symphony
 
[Refrain:]
That's my symphony
But I'm not writing it alone
Because in every harmony
There's a sound of you
 
I've never taken a break, kept going most of the time
I wrote my own symphony in major and minor
Often it lay in dark fog, often far too bright in the light
And yet I have lived there, cried there, and laughed a lot there
With my head held high
 
[Refrain:]
That's my symphony
But I'm not writing it alone
Because in every harmony
There's a sound of you
That's my symphony
And you are always in it
Because in every melody
You put in your tone
 
Sometimes it went faster, sometimes it fell to pieces
Just as life did
Even deception had to be
Like a thunderbolt
 
[Refrain:]
That's my symphony
But I'm not writing it alone
Because in every harmony
There's a sound of you
That's my symphony
And you are always in it
Because in every melody
You put in your tone
 
And it will be our symphony
And it will be our symphony
And it will be our symphony
And it will be our symphony

Squares

I don't regret
nor my heart changes
Love is not a brake
It's a throttle
 
In my mind's squares
I was mumbling for you every night
Without much arguments
 
In my mind's squares
I’ve never entered
And I grew up to pay with you too much
 
Me and the excesses
We've been around many times
Firing the excitement
And I pushed the logic
 
For your own kisses
I gave keys quickly
And I had seen you from the beginning
How you are you the shallow sea?
 
I don't regret
nor my heart changes
Love is not a brake
It's a throttle
 
In my mind's squares
I was mumbling for you every night
Without much arguments
 
In my mind's squares
I’ve never entered
And I grew up to pay with you too much
 
In my mind's squares
I’ve never entered
And I grew up to pay with you too much

August

Sun ascended and with that
Your face lit up
The day shall be warm and so simple
As we expect it to be
 
Daily worries - to drink a glass of water
And feel alive waking up again
 
I sit by the window contemplating the aspen outside
I loved a few, however, strongly
 
And the summer let down again
We continue to be confused in days
The tram carries us to the depot
And the days are changing so fast
 
I'm sitting in the dark. And it is not worse in the room,
than darkness outside
 
If you ask my heart:
'Stop, stay with me a little more'
Then there will be a day and there will be an evening reflecting in the golden Yauza1,
As well as you, your drunk smile at the helm, as ever
 
I'm sitting by the window. I remember my youth.
I'll smile sometimes, sometimes I'll spit it out
 
If you ask my heart:
'Stop, stay with me a little more'
Then there will be a day and there will be an evening reflecting in the golden Yauza,
As well as you, your drunk smile at the helm, as ever
 
  • 1. The Yauza is a river in Moscow and Mytishchi, Russia, a tributary of the Moskva River

Happiness

A sunny day is so rare
The new mixtape is a diss on your sobriety
No cigarettes but a sip of dry wine remains
No need to show up at home
 
As long as we're young and not familiar with falseness
We dream of leaving as far as possible
We are shouting loudly but crying even louder
I'm incurable, seems like it's happiness
 
Again it seems, we are so similar
Freckles on a quite reddened skin
No secrets, you've guessed all of mine.
Do not go, I can’t get enough of you
 
As long as we're young and not familiar with falseness
We dream of leaving as far as possible
We are shouting loudly but crying even louder
I'm incurable, seems like it's happiness
 
Running down the stairs, forever swearing
Hugging your shoulders we dissolve in the shadows
We are shouting loudly but crying even louder
I'm incurable, seems like it's happiness
 
I'm incurable, seems like it's...
 
27.08.2018

Again and Again

12 o'clock, I'm coming home
I'm very tired, so, as usual
You won't talk to me
Everything's great, great
 
And I'm trying to turn the world around again
Undertake too much
I'm always busy, worrying about not falling asleep in the underground
Today again, today
 
With all my might I keep running
Headfirst into a wall again and again
Alas, today I'm invincible
I want to wake up home

Blood moon

On the last evening we sit so silently before one another
Neither of us directs his words to the other
Only our eyes glisten, we look at each other, in the candlelight
Only our hands play, the rest drowns in heavy wine
In heavy wine
 
If the last candle goes out today
It glows and echoes in this night
The heart and every beat that enlivens us
Resounds and dies in the rhythm of the other heart
 
The moon shines silver upon us again
As it reigns over the night sky
Today our love will be rewarded
And the moon will shine silver upon us again
The moon
 
All the years we've been silent in the maelstrom of emotions
We made love every night, in the sparkle of neutrons
The night should never end, everything should be in silver
The shadows will fade, I know you will forgive me
You will forgive me
 
If the last candle goes out today
Then I'll bring you into this night
A light that is brighter than that of the silver
Then the night will no longer die for the new day
 
The moon shines silver upon us again
As it reigns over the night sky
Today our love will be rewarded
And the moon will shine silver upon us again
The moon
 
Then we will be joined
And we will found galaxies
That are timeless and not secret
Tonight it will happen
 
The moon shines silver upon us again
As it reigns over the night sky
Today our love will be rewarded
And the moon will shine silver upon us again
The moon

To be that way forever*

The storm in our heads, it lets us breathe
Our hearts are free, our souls naked
Fear of the end, that can wait
We are here and we stay awake
 
It's the child that remains in us
That burns in us for eternity
 
We want to be that way forever
The child in us as brightness
 
[Refrain:]
We want to be that way forever
The child in us as brightness
And we celebrate this night
We'll stay awake forever
 
Our eyes wild, the sky red
We burn bright and blazing
We dance on into the dawn
Because it burns ablaze in us
 
The young souls want to finally glow
Restlessly ready for life
We will conquer pain and death
Free ourselves from space and time
 
We want to be that way forever
The child in us as brightness
 
[Refrain:]
We want to be that way forever
The child in us as brightness
And we celebrate this night
We'll stay awake forever
 
There is a light on the horizon
And flames blaze up
We'll stay until time burns us up
And heaven softly hears our choir
 
[Refrain:]
We want to be that way forever
The child in us as brightness
And we celebrate this night
We'll stay awake forever
 
Our eyes wild, the sky red
We burn bright and blazing
We dance on into the dawn
Because it burns ablaze in us

The East*

You see the horizon as a border
Just don't go any further
But the world is round
We will see further
 
We're not in a rush, just don't stay still
Because no one will stay behind
Do you see our flag blowing?
We see bit by bit
 
[Refrain:]
The East, it rises up from the darkness
And in the morning the sun will rise again
The East, full steam ahead
And perhaps then morning, morning, morning
 
Join in our circle
Then you won't be alone
We'll simply take you with us
Into the East
 
The night, soon it will fade
Look ahead with us
Toward the new time
In the morning we will be born again
 
[Refrain:]
The East, it rises up from the darkness
And in the morning the sun will rise again
The East, full steam ahead
And perhaps then morning, morning, morning

Children

I am alone
My head is empty
My heart, it is so heavy
What will be left of me tomorrow?
Will I be yet another orphaned child
Whose dreams have died at the front?
 
How can we live with our mistakes?
What obscures our vision?
 
Now I am alone
And the room is empty
Where my life was yesterday
Mother, why did you have to go away from me?
Father, why must I fight to survive?
Why is a new hate being sown in me?
 
How can we cultivate death for our children?
 
We failed to see that all is one
We failed to see that all is one
We failed to see that all is one
We failed to see God

Once again

We are still joined, you1 look up to me
Time heals no wounds, nothing stops them
I look back to you, to everything that once was
You were my whole happiness, you were all always there for me
 
I want to be with you, I want to go with you
To stand together with you, not yet in paradise
 
[Refrain:]
To stand once again by your side
To celebrate feasts and to see the sun
I want to stay, to look into your eyes
Light still burns, I can't go
 
The train wants to drive on further, the signal gives me a red light
There's still so much to say, I can't...
I can't go yet, I want to be with you
Like in the old days, we were never alone
 
I want to be with you, I want to go with you
To stand together with you, not yet in paradise
 
[Refrain:]
To stand once again by your side
To celebrate feasts and to see the sun
I want to stay, to look into your eyes
Light still burns, I can't go
Light still burns, I can't go
 
I want to be with you, I want to go with you
To stand together with you, not yet in paradise
 
[Refrain:]
To stand once again by your side
To celebrate feasts and to see the sun
I want to stay, to look into your eyes
Light still burns, I can't go

My country

They march on
They chant old songs
I can't listen to all that any more
 
False flags again
They write lists, shout out names
And want to destroy us
 
[Refrain:]
I won't let my country slip away
I feel it crying
Where is the country that we once knew?
The peace that I mean has burned away
 
Gasoline into every fire
Steered in the wrong direction
I've had enough of this war
 
They lie and betray
They agitate, they manipulate
Their roots strike deep
 
It's not their country
They have no right
To destroy it
 
[Refrain:]
I won't let my country slip away
I feel it crying
Where is the country that we once knew?
The peace that I mean has burned away
 
Death, cold and a war
It was all there
If the country lies in the abyss
Then what will ever remain of it?
 
[Refrain:]
I won't let my country slip away
I feel it crying
Where is the country that we once knew?
The peace that I mean has burned away

Rebellion of the Dwarfs

You must be tall and powerful
In the land of great atrocities
To move carefree
And to expand oneself further
The dwarfs had a lot of patience
They believed they were to blame
But with time they noticed
That they are never granted freedom
 
Rage has now spread about
And plans are being devised
They want to try everything
Now they have nothing left to lose
A hundred thousand little dwarfs
The giants' hair stand on end
And after a long preparation
Now it's finally ready
 
[Refrain:]
After a gentle warning
they dismantled the palaces, short and small
That is the goblet of the giants
Now only dwarfs fit in it
After a gentle warning
they dismantled the palaces, short and small
That is the goblet of the giants
Now only dwarfs fit in it
 
And then with its very last strength
The old night, it screams out
Can't you forgive us once again?
We will repent everything
The giants run out of breath
They shrink slowly
Soon they are just as small
As all the dwarfs
 
You can be small and slight
To free this land here
To do what you now want to do
Without terror, without drill
Despite that you must lend water
In case new giants arise
To escape such fetters again
Will never happen
 
[Refrain:]
After a gentle warning
they dismantled the palaces, short and small
That is the goblet of the giants
Now only dwarfs fit in it
After a gentle warning
they dismantled the palaces, short and small
That is the goblet of the giants
Now only dwarfs fit in it
After a gentle warning
they dismantled the palaces, short and small
That is the goblet of the giants
Now only dwarfs fit in it

You're alive

Dark grey is the asphalt of your youth
Dark grey is the stone on which you fell
Dark grey is the mist of longing in which you're immersed
When you lie on wet stones
 
[Refrain:]
But you're alive, you're alive, and you only have this one chance
You're alive, you're alive, even if it was sometimes different
 
Cruel is the memory of a life
Cruel is the hardship you feel
Cruel is the mist of memory in which you're immersed
When hardship surrounds you again
 
[Refrain:]
But you're alive, you're alive, and you only have this one chance
You're alive, you're alive, even if it was sometimes different
 
Grey are the walls that you built for yourself
From all the stone on which you fell
Raw, but you have become strong
Because fortunately you heart is not made of stone
 
[Refrain:]
But you're alive, you're alive, and you only have this one chance
You're alive, you're alive, even if it was sometimes different
You're alive and you only have this one chance
You're alive, you're alive, you're alive

Soldiers of fortune

Fire, ice and longing
Looking ahead, determination
The wide path is part of the destination
There in infinity
 
To celebrate feasts as they fall
To use the days, and the nights too
All will become eternity
We are the clang in the cold smoke
 
[Refrain:]
We are soldiers of fortune in no man's land
It goes on in freefall
But we're writing stories that we like
And that keep the world alive
We are, we are, we are soldiers of fortune
We are, we are, we are soldiers of fortune
 
We lay our tracks
And step out from oblivion
We draw our sword from the stone
And fight our way free
 
We shatter our fear, nothing will stop us
We stick together, man by man
We are ready and our flag is waving
Ahead of everyone
 
[Refrain:]
We are soldiers of fortune in no man's land
It goes on in freefall
But we're writing stories that we like
And that keep the world alive
We are, we are, we are soldiers of fortune
We are, we are, we are soldiers of fortune
 
Soldiers of fortune in no man's land
We are soldiers of fortune in no man's land
Soldiers of fortune in no man's land
We are soldiers of fortune in no man's land
 
We are, we are, we are soldiers of fortune
We are, we are, we are soldiers of fortune

Love disco

The rapture of the dance chimes darkly
Around us in the tournament of bodies
That have already known each other a long time
Lusting, sweating, uninhibited
I caught your eye
It shines pulsatingly at me
Light moves to music
My heart beats for you
 
[Refrain:]
But we stand there and drink, to hell with embellishment
We stand there and drink, thus we could, yes, we could
But we stand there and drink, to hell with embellishment
We stand there and drink, thus we could, we could
 
Dry air on the podium
The poet babbles and lulls us
A glimmer of light gathers, stops us
We're standing alone
My table here and yours over there
Our fear as a barrier
In between lies an ocean
Of sensual thoughts
 
[Refrain:]
And we stand there and drink, to hell with embellishment
We stand there and drink, thus we could, yes, we could
But we stand there and drink, to hell with embellishment
We stand there and drink, thus we could, we could
 
Are thoughts really free?
Are desire and lust enough?
Then I don't have to do anything
Perhaps you'll come to me
 
But we stand there and drink
 
[Refrain:]
But we stand there and drink, to hell with embellishment
We stand there and drink, thus we could, yes, we could
But we stand there and drink, to hell with embellishment
We stand there and drink, thus we could, we could

Armageddon

Ohhh, ohhh, Armageddon
Ohhh, ohhh, Armageddon
 
The light goes out, a storm brews
The world stands still in its orbit
Soon it will lie in dark calm
Because now the call to battle sounds
 
[Refrain:]
We enter the battle
It's all over (Armageddon)
Soon it'll be complete
In the fire we are free (Armageddon)
Ohhh, ohhh, Armageddon
Ohhh, ohhh, Armageddon
 
Rank upon rank we stand still
Because someone wanted it this way
We marched out today for them
We don't know them but we're here
 
[Refrain:]
We enter the battle
It's all over (Armageddon)
Soon it'll be complete
In the fire we are free (Armageddon)
Ohhh, ohhh, Armageddon
Ohhh, ohhh, Armageddon
 
We take the blame
One last time in harsh conflict
Without asking for the meaning
Then the darkness finally comes
 
[Refrain:]
We enter the battle
It's all over (Armageddon)
Soon it'll be complete
In the fire we are free (Armageddon)
Ohhh, ohhh, Armageddon
Ohhh, ohhh, Armageddon

Icarus

All hope is destroyed
Pride came before the fall, deathly silence before the bang
You always wanted to go up high
You were the last hero for a better world
 
Everything you dreamed of is burned up on the horizon
Lift yourself one last time into a faraway land
 
[Refrain:]
Fly free, Icarus
Fly high, because you must
Everything in you will burn
Until the sun scorches you
Fly free, because you must
Fly high, my Icarus
 
Endlessly proud, sure of yourself
So you went ahead with fanfare and singing
We followed you into the bright light
Borne by the euphoria that cried out from your heart
 
Everything we dreamed of is burned up on the horizon
Take us with you one last time into a faraway land
 
[Refrain:]
Fly free, Icarus
Fly high, because you must
Everything in you will burn
Until the sun scorches you
Fly free, because you must
Fly high, my Icarus
