Strip to tears
Find the confidence
But never bite the hand that feeds
Sell your time
Between the hours of broken news
Give a child the pay
Deafening silence
Sweat away your class
Your rescue is your own
Responsibility
Bodies still warm
They stink but help you find the rats
With a clear shot
Towards total apathy
(this is where it all began)
Set the toll
Boil the water out of snow
And make a meal from sawdust
Silver rain in an endless town
И опять сквозь лучи
Снег летит, как сквозь сито.
Снег летит, как мука, -
Плавно, медленно, сыто…
Carve the corpse
Hope that no one finds out
Preservation above all else
Panic warms you
Sweat away your class
Your rescue is your own
Responsibility
Bodies frozen
But they are all that’s left
There’s only thin ice
Between the road to death
And the road to life

Bourbon & Rye

Tidal wave struck
at the glass that won’t shatter
a glimpse through the panes
of the doors in the back of my mind
While you mumble regrets
Of a past that won’t matter
You gave me the creeps
A mistake of fresh air
An ill feeling of home
You were a haven to find
I’m talking,
I’m mumbling,
I’m ranting,
I’m raving
Right now.
Chain smoking,
I’m toking,
Not stroking
Your ego
no how!
Dedicated, patiently waited
faberge promises
bourbon & rye
Ice on the peak of the wave
You fling at me
No escape
Soundtracks of shame
Wiggled their way
Glass that won’t break
To your brain
A compulsion to save you
Grow strong from the pain
Pray for a fight
Flicker of light
Hiccup or fright
Know you’re alive
Just to know
Laugh at me nervously
Plan to sneak out
I treated you blindly
You see me no doubt.
I won’t make you go
I’ll unlock the door,
You know me too well
I’ll unlock the door.
I won’t make you go
I’ll unlock the door.
Yes you should go
I won’t block the door.
Oh well
When the glass that won’t shatter caves in
I foretell your demise
When the glass that won’t shatter gives in
On bourbon and rye
Bourbon and rye

Asleep/Awake

Now you fly then you fall
Now you fail to see the strokes
That life will paint each tear and bruise
You win, you lose
Waste my days, asleep awake,
World restless/weightless on your shoulders
Feel the strain.
No, not strange, I lose whole days,
the world's an unfair place, we made it that way,
we can make it change/We can change it we can change
Modern life is modern art – it's a mess.
An orgy of lies, distortion, style, misfortune.
Blank page, blank space, blank rage.
I can't look, I can't look away
Asleep, awake
Don't feel, forget,
Remain, rename,
The pain will stay,
Repay, replay,
Regain, retain,
Asleep, awake
Asleep, awake

City of Ghosts

Lay down your arms –
Spring has come
Divided we conquer no one
Rules of the land
With fire in their hands
Those who believe
The means justify their ends
War everywhere, but there’s nothing to fear anymore
So many years, the waves have reclaimed the shore
Can you see people leave? They flee to avoid their doom
In this city of ghosts – forever in bloom
This used to be home. Where’s your right to return?
There used to be sun Now it never will warm anyone
You could turn it around, You could build it up from the ground
But damage is done, damage is already done
The world without us
Will not miss a beat
Sharp blades of grass
Grow under our feet
The smell of defeat
Like the summer so sweet
It shatters like glass
This world without us
War everywhere, but there’s nothing to fear anymore
So many years, the waves have reclaimed the shore
Can you see people leave? They flee to avoid their doom
In this city of ghosts – forever in bloom

Forgive me for I have sinned
Remember, it was only a dream, only a dream
But I refuse to awake, because it's real
This strange place is just a disguise and nonsense
This strange place makes me realise that
I strain my thoughts to not tell you how I feel
I strain my heart to not fall in love
Restrain myself every time you are near
From running straight into your arms
How touching to see you again
You inspire the silence
In between the lines of fire, desire
This strange place makes me a liar and a thief
For your attention
This strange place makes me see things
Beyond my comprehension
You close your eyes
Every time we touch
You hold your breath
Every time we kiss
You smile your kindest of smiles
I know what it means (to me)
How much it means to me.

I saw you one day
You were cold in the rain
I was troubled and sad
All the thoughts in my head
Were a lie I could run but you won't let me hide
From myself I was lost
I had laughed I had cursed all in vain
And the buckles and belts separated won't mend
They will hold their weight
What's been tethered can't break
I have wandered around now I've finally stopped at your door
I have been everywhere but with you I found my home
Disconnected from you love is never enough alone
I will shiver and fall like a leaf at your feet
Disconnected from you love's a fire without heat
Midnight walks in the rain
Like a scrambled refrain
I refuse to let go of your smile
I hold dear every kiss every moment like this
When you're near but we're saying good-bye
All the streets they will know
Everything it must go
I can't win at this game when you look at me so
And when all the reasons why tell me no no don't cry, I shed a tear
I have been everywhere but with you I found my home
Disconnected from you love is never enough alone
I will shiver and fall like a leaf on Altona street
Disconnected from you love is fire without heat
When a song without end – praise away
And a life without rules – play the game
But love without care is a shame,
I shall never forget your name.

Anthem

Young man, you're looking old.
Shadows wait in lines on your face.
My heart beats fast, but yours beats faster,
The hours we wait, we waste.
Lights go out in the blink of an eye,
Lights go out five at a time.
Bodies broken, gasping for life
Underground and under fire.
Tell me stories of the days in the autumn,
Before the fire and the snow
Hurt our eyes and chilled our bones,
Made us forget all we know.
Lights go out, lights go out, lights go out, lights go out
Lights go out in the blink of an eye,
Lights go out five at a time.
The cause is hopeless, still we fight
Underground and under fire.

Whose side are you on?
Where do you belong?
Whose side are you on?
What do you think?
Whose side are you on
When you are strong?
Whose side are you on
When you are weak?
There was a time when you knew what’s right,
But the violence came and changed your life.
There was a time when you hoped for tomorrow,
But the violence left it behind.
So whose side are you on,
Now that you know it all?
Whose side are you on,
When both have been wrong?
And help is coming
It’s worse than Armageddon
Help is coming your way
Its long arms stretch like the plague
Help is coming your way
But what’s the pay, what’s the pay?
There was a time when you knew what’s right,
But the violence came and claimed your mind.
There was a time when you hoped for tomorrow,
But the violence left it behind.
Whose side are you on,
With screams in your head?
Whose side are you on,
When you’re full of lead?
Whose side are you on,
When your hands are tied?
Whose side are you on,
When there’s no more right?
Whose side are you on,
When it’s not your debt?
Whose side are you on,
When you have one wing left?
Whose side are you on,
Whose side are you on,
And what’s the pay, what’s the pay?

Count them blessed
The perseverance
We praise, we promise mercy
But I’m afraid of you
And the temptations of our flesh
Dress ourselves in safety nets
Go fishing for those gates
To salvation
Old white kitchen clock keeps ticking
taking stock of tenderness
But the hand’s not sticking to the rest
Wicked waiting in the wings
It only rains on days like this
Like a sponge I soak it up
Waiting for my turn to douse
Nostrils flare as we drink
Though in sin we seem to live
All our obstacles are clear
Nothing can ungrasp the grip
Whoever restrains me,
Restrains the wind…
Run!
Are your legs broken?
You will change me,
I will change you;
Now that we know,
What can we do?
You will change me,
I will change you;
Now that we know,
What can we do?
Resistance is futile
This one’s going to f♬cking hurt.

Bass
Once we were strangers
Nesting in feathers
Easy to squeeze.
Words carry messages
Inspired by battle
Newfound questions;
Girth in the riff.
Live long but focus;
Every breath is for music.
Fly towards freedom –
Thoughts are contagious.
