Harmony 07:33
When daylight is gone the beauty’s still left And the moon remains as a Sungod Now bring on the night the sky is a blaze I watch the light of the dawn. I’m waiting at my gate of dreams I die without a whisper I’m wondering of what’s to come A face that no one knows. That’s how they found me In total devotion That’s what they told me But no one could see Light my way. Light my ground Before I stumble and fall Light my way. Light my ground. Please ! And then an Angel came over me She only said that I had to see What I was trying to find I know it was harmony. What I was trying to find I know it was dignity. ‘Cause someone’s beaten down my soul. I’m closing my eyes observing my breath. I‘m falling apart from a daydream. Trapped in my thoughts. They won’t let me leave. I’m captured in my brain. Don’t let a single breeze pass by. My mind begins to wander. I find myself in agony. A state of shock and pain. That’s how they found me In total devotion That’s what they told me But no one could see Light my way. Light my ground Before I stumble and fall Light my way. Light my ground. Please ! And then an Angel came over me She only said that I had to see What I was trying to find I know it was harmony. What I was trying to find I know it was dignity. ‘Cause someone’s beaten down my soul.

The Only Way 05:37
When you see your wishes drowning. When you see your life’s gone by. When you know that this is all that you have got. When you see your days are wasted. When you’re crying like a child Then you will know that this has gone too far. I’ll never comprehend the scars. I’ve always thought they’d never hurt my soul. Will I see, that I’m standing at the edge. Jumping is the only way. I’m falling into better days of Now. Will I see, that I’m opening the gate. Jumping is the only way. I’m falling into better days of Now. I’m tired of all you suckers. Yes I’m done with all of you. You deserve a lesson you will not forget. Then you’ll see your days were wasted. And you’re crying like a child. Then you will know that this has gone too far. I’ll never comprehend the scars. I’ve always thought they’d never hurt my soul. Will I see, that I’m standing at the edge. Jumping is the only way. I’m falling into better days of Now. Will I see, that I’m opening the gate. Jumping is the only way. I’m falling into better days of Now. Will I see, that I’m standing at the edge. Jumping is the only way. I’m falling into better days of Now. Will I see, that I’m opening the gate. Jumping is the only way. I’m falling into better days of Now.

I Can't Deny 06:44
It’s burning. The chaos that controls my mind. I grow so weak. Pretending. I’m trying to keep you satisfied. Though I can’t speak. I’ll make it. I know I’ll feed your appetite. But you want more. I see you. And everything around you fades. My brain is torn. Whenever you will need a place to hide. I’m waiting there to take you down. ‘Cause girl you’re amazing to me. So I’m falling down. I must confess. I’m addicted to Love. All I want is overload. Wanna make it till I come again. I can’t deny. I’d die without this. All I need is going down. Wanna trust in you but you are gone. It’s haunting. The rush of our hearts could tell. But you’re too far I see you. And everything around your face is growing dark. Whenever you will need a place to hide. I’m waiting there to take you down. ‘Cause girl you’re amazing to me. So I’m falling down. I must confess. I’m addicted to Love. All I want is overload. Wanna make it till I come again. I can’t deny. I’d die without this. All I need is going down. Wanna trust in you but you are gone.

Dreams Aside 05:32
Cosmopolitan Beauty. The one you rarely find. You’re one in a million. I wish you’d be mine. With your eyes wide open. Willing to eat me out No doubts in choosing. All the best. Now won’t you be there. When I will discern. When you will know what you have done. Anything you see is everything you’ve got. All the dreams I had. All my Future wishes. Put aside for you. For a dream gone far away I’m a nameless gusher I am your avid crush It goes crazy and creepy You turn away in disgust ‘Cause I will be your warder Willing to do my best What the hell am I doing Till the crash   Now won’t you be there. When I will discern. When you will know what you have done. Anything you see is everything you’ve got. All the dreams I had. All my Future wishes. Put aside for you. For a dream gone far away And in my mind I wait for you. And in my mind I die for you. I never liked the world. I never liked the sea. I never meant to show. I never liked to be Now won’t you be there. When I will discern. When you will know what you have done. Everybody seeks what everybody wants. All the dreams I had. All my Future wishes. Put aside for you. For a dream gone far …

Too many decisions Are frightening me A special assignment for myself I’m losing my visions I cannot believe I’ve lost my inspiration Never stop Go ahead No more time to deny that step A look in the mirror. I’ve ruined my live I started to cry: “What did I do?” Nowhere to find I’m out of my mind So I am broken again Since I don’t know What I must pretend Pretending I’m happy and free The more I scream into darkness The more I must realise Now I’ve reached A deadly point The more I scream into darkness The more I must realise Now I need To change it all So I thought I knew What I need to know Not able to say that I am wrong The things that I wanted The things that I’ve seen The main question is what your eyes see Hold the course Hold the pain Now it’s time to win the game I am just someone who tries to control So I’ve done this to myself Nowhere to find I’m out of my mind So I am broken again Since I don’t know What I must pretend Pretending I’m happy and free The more I scream into darkness The more I must realise Now I’ve reached A deadly point The more I scream into darkness The more I must realise Now I need To change it all Nowhere to find I’m out of my mind So I am broken again Since I don’t know What I must pretend Pretending I’m happy and free The more I scream into darkness The more I must realise Now I’ve reached A deadly point The more I scream into darkness The more I must realise Now I need To change it all

She waved her last Goodbye. She’s gone. Execution’s over now. But he is not gonna cry. He survived much harder things. Let me tell you a story that will chill your bones. It’s about a mother and her child. Only 3 years old. She beat him down. When she drank she blamed him for her past. Being whipped. Bound to a chair. Then she smashed him through the wall. Just to start all over again. Thorns in his mind remain. The pain, the scars are pierced into his suffering soul Thorns in his mind remain. The pain! The scars! Eternally a part of his soul. You don’t like the story? He endured far more. But he could not just walk away. While punched in the face. Beat with a metal rod. Undefendant! Weak! Helpless! Alone! Neighbours shocked. Speechless cops. But finally they came along. They found him there. Still alive!   Thorns in his mind remain. The pain, the scars are pierced into his suffering soul Thorns in his mind remain. The pain! The scars! Eternally a part of his soul. Breathless nights. When nightmares lay upon his soul. Breathless screams. Not escaping from his fate. Burning thoughts. Are sharper then a razors edge. Pounding heart that he must awake. Thorns in his mind remain. The pain, the scars are pierced into his suffering soul Thorns in his mind remain. The pain! The scars! Eternally a part of his soul. Thorns in his mind remain. The pain, the scars are pierced into his suffering soul Thorns in his mind remain. The pain! The scars! Forever in his soul!

Sorry 05:19
My mother forced me: “Swear by my life” I was only 8 years old Feared the worst. So I denied it. “That glass I never smashed” First she frowned. Then she shouted. Then she spit into my face. I felt guilty. Then she screamed: “Don’t call me Mom again” What? How do you talk to your child? I’m sorry I broke what you kept as a souvenir I’m sorry I know that I shattered your trust in me I’m sorry. I am guilty. Regretting. I am ashamed. I’m sorry I’ll do anything for your Love Mental violence. No one told her. That affects a child for life. If she’d known. She’d have tried. Tried to make things right. Her Love was endless. So were her fears. We know that fear is a bad guide. Thus she transferred her own childhood And all her pain to me. You! Mind how you talk to your child! I’m sorry I broke what you kept as a souvenir I’m sorry I know that I shattered your trust in me I’m sorry. I am guilty. Regretting. I am ashamed. I’m sorry I’ll do anything for your Love You! Mind how you talk to your child! I’m sorry I broke what you kept as a souvenir I’m sorry I know that I shattered your trust in me I’m sorry. I am guilty. Regretting. I am ashamed. I’m sorry I’ll do anything for your Love

Who Decides 06:46
I have voices in my mind I wait for the cold and death bringing sounds I am hoping for the calm These words are so strong like an ongoing storm Like a wind. Starting like a breeze. Bringing death to everyone. No one knows When lightning strikes a gain and who will be the next. Dude! I’m crying like a child. For me it’s time to go. I’m wondering who decides. Now it’s time for a miracle to come And save my dreams and to choose another one. They say the wiser head gives in If the wiser head gives in, the stupid almost won. So devotion was my aim. There was no reward. My consciousness was blown. Like a wind. Starting like a breeze. Bringing death to everyone. No one knows When lightning strikes a gain and who will be the next. Dude! I’m crying like a child. For me it’s time to go. I’m wondering who decides. Now it’s time for a miracle to come And save my dreams and to choose another one.

I knew who I was, what to think and whom to blame for all what’s going on. Everybody’s fault, not mine. I thought every person could decide how far to go or counter demonstrate. Just to take an active part Without the fragment of a soul Inside of anyone The world is going on. ‘Cause there is blindness We’re fake. Oh yes, I’m too! We’re also hypocrites, disguised, not really true A higher purpose in a world of growing pain Me and you or them, it’s all the same. Everything that once was false an bad and wrong is now declared to be the truth. No one even knows what’s right. Wrong voices getting loud. The rights are muted. I tell you: there is no defense. Everybody’s a machine. Without the fragment of a soul Inside of anyone The world is going on. ‘Cause there is blindness We’re fake. Oh yes, I’m too! We’re also hypocrites, disguised, not really true A higher purpose in a world of growing pain Me and you or them, it’s all the same. Without the fragment of a soul Inside of anyone The world is going on. ‘Cause there is blindness We’re fake. Oh yes, I’m too! We’re also hypocrites, disguised, not really true A higher purpose in a world of growing pain Me and you or them, it’s all the same.

about

Perception is the beginning of all development

Why? We are the sum of our experiences. But before every experience there is perception.

Every development of a personality starts with a perception. The processing of this perception is complex and varied. Everyone deals with it differently. And every time there is a different result.

Some people who experienced physical or mental violence in their childhood do the same to their own children later on. Others, on the other hand, develop into loving adults.
Some people who have gone through difficult times in their lives become psychological wrecks. Others grow from this and become stable, strong personalities and reliable partners.

Conversely, in times of instability and media insecurity, people who previously thought rationally may begin to believe in conspiracy theories, however grotesque and abstruse these may be.

Our songs describe moments in this development. Individual situations in which people find themselves at a crossroad.
Sometimes a single perception is enough to completely turn a person‘s life upside down and change it.

Nobody is protected from it. It can affect anyone. We want to create an understanding for the fact that people are the way they are and in turn they may create a perception in other people that can be negative or positive. Questioning “why” often explains a lot and can help to perceive them and their motivation for action. Mutual understanding and respect of the other person is expressed through mutual interest in the history of the other person. We want to make a small contribution to this.
