1. The Machine
2. Keine Angst
Durch die Nacht mit Feuer und Benzin
Verbrenn die Straßen in deinem und meinem Kopf
We can stop the machine
We can break our bodies
An arm becomes a flat field
We can form our bodies
And we will
And we will
We could fit mountains between index and middle finger
Unsere Augen brennen, wenn das Licht einfällt
Die Maschine holt uns ein
We can stop the machine
We can break our bodies
An arm becomes a flat field
We can destroy our bodies
And we will
And we will
We could fit mountains between index and middle finger
"Keine Angst" always on display
But the colors are the fear
"Keine Angst" always on display
A sign in red
Wir zwei singen nun zu dritt
Der Dritte, der bin ich
Am Ort, an dem Pferde sich zur Ruhe legen
Die Maschine ist weit weg
Der Morgen kommt kalt wie jeden Tag
Wir zwei bluten aus
We cannot stop the machine
But we can break our bodies
An arm becomes a flat field
And fear becomes a body
Keine Angst
3. Walls
A wall of us
1, 2, 3, 4 years have passed since we have met
A meeting in another world
A breach that fills the in-between
And saves the minds from getting fucked
My friend, you will stay far away
My friend, we'll kiss another day
But when we do we kiss the cloth
A body speaks like razor blades
I could link all the birthmarks on your back
Scar the lines around your eyes
Our eyes have never met
We are walls - face to face
Walls - We'll meet another day
Walls of flesh and blood
We are walls - set in our ways
We bite our necks like wolves
We frame our words with howls
Our love is the love of the beast
We can't see us
No, we can't see us
And here's no truth
No, here's no truth ... just talking dogs
Bound for life by not much more than name and blood
A table set for ten of us
A trench that fills the in-between
And shows us how we're just a flock
Your sister could have been a whore
We close our eyes forevermore
But when we do -
We are walls - face to face
Walls - We'll meet another day
Walls of flesh and blood
We are walls - set in our ways
4. Cloud Collider
Cloud Collider
Black walls cut through dust planes
Whirlwinds
Nature's untamed fury
Unites us and takes us by storm
A finger reaching out to us
Like heaven sent
From stonewall skies
With sunbeam holes
Piercing through our hands
We're lovers of the storm
Do you like hard or soft rain? I like:
Whirlwinds
A mother kills her own child
Cloud Collider
Nature's untamed fury
Unites and takes us by storm
Clouds can fall fast
The heavens open wide
The edge of universal collapse
Is not more than winds
Light up, light up the sky
And let water tear through flesh
Cloud Collider
Black walls level mankind
Whirlwinds
Nature's untamed fury
Unites us and takes us
Like finger tips closing in
To darken skies and sight
And rip through skin
The queen of winds
Kills like knives
We're lovers of the storm
Lovers of the storm
Queen of winds
Take us
Level mankind
5. Forever Death
6. The Wind Brings Them Horses
Death, death and forever death
And a past that unites us - does it?
Love is not the answer
Love is just a path
To the hearts and the horses
That ride through our homes of yore
Knuckles and fists clash
What a way to speak and to silence the tongues
Still screams and tears
What a way to dance, what a way to embrace
The death of these horses
Galloping through our homes of yore
They ride - carried by the winds that blow through time
Let it be known that...
They ride - their hooves cut through decades of dust
They ride - carried by a perfect storm
Ten years, ten days - and in between some rusty nails
One heart, one mind - not to forget
Ten years, ten days - and in between some rusty nails
One heart, one mind - not to forget
We will never forget the...
...vane in the storm of the ages
Turns time and time again
We've seen this before, we laugh but don't smile
We welcome them year after year
The return of these horses
Galloping through our homes of yore
They ride...
They ride through dust clouds far away from time
They ride the open plains of fear
See their hooves crack stones and wood and faces
The smiles and froans of yesterday
Tonight - these horses will die
Tonight - we won't look back
Tonight...
We will ride - carried by the winds that blow through time
Let it be known that...
Ten years are ten days - and in between some rusty nails
One heart, one mind - not to forget...
We will never forget!
7. No Stories Left
A tower can fall twice
Just like a knife keeps burning red
Come on and try to tell me something new
And show me what I haven't seen before
I have seen it all
The rise and the fall
A tower can fall twice
And it will fall again
Cut once, cut twice, cut thrice
There's more than one hole in the world
A piece of flesh, yet still alive
What would be one more death with no regrets?
Different faces, different masks and different stories
This is what I call Satan
Cut once, cut twice, cut thrice
Cut four times, cut five times
- this world is fucked
Stroboscopic horrors
I close my eyes
But still can see
Death thrash by
No stories left
In a kingdom of fear
No stories left
In a whirlwind of images
Of corpses on beaches and machetes on screen
From drone filled skies - the image becomes me
No more stories
And no more fun
Armageddon
I'm so numb
Fear for dinner
And fear for lunch
Black on white
A multi-colored death punch
I have been fed with the flesh of the world
So I smile
No more stories
And no more fun
Tune into the end of times
Tune into a world in flames
No stories left
Just noise on more noise
No stories left
In a whirlwind of images
Of lightless stars and kings of fear
And endless reruns of towers that can fall twice
Like a knife keeps turning red
Come on and try to tell me something new
And show me what I haven't seen before
The rise and the fall
A tower can fall twice
And it will fall again
8. This Knife Won't Stay Clean Today
Nothing is what I desire - A knife that won't cut
A snake that won't bite in a desert of dreams,
I am open, here, now
To circumnavigate the oceans on fire
And forever my body is burned
And the All is what I desire - the great pools of black
The wish bites its tail - a lost cause or a chance
To circumnavigate the oceans on fire
And forever my body is burned, bruised and battered
Howl and wail - Strike sails at dawn
And forever my body is burned
Luna, you can't stop me now
I am placing the hearts in a circle
I am placing the seeds in the ground
to grow trees from flesh and blood
Luna, you can't stop me now
I am open - I am here - now
This knife won't stay clean today
To circumnavigate the oceans on fire
And forever my body is burned, bruised and battered
Howl and wail - Strike sails at dawn
And forever my body is burned
9. (The Taste of) Rust and Bone
A step to the left or a step to the right - worlds collide
As the tip of the tongue bears the taste of rust and bone
White, the faces of a thousand men, multitude that is me
And the tip of the tongue bears the taste of rust and bone
Union of water fountain drops - of random strokes of fate
The merging of infinite ways - to the east, to the north, to the west and south
To separation of the earth and the salt, in the
Breeze that makes us meet - a door left ajar makes a lifetime change
For better or for worse - in the end it comes in waves or all at once
Let the candle flicker - I don't mind the light
Never will I be the master of the winds that blow through time
I am bone white
Rust and bone - this is the taste of silver and gold
This is the last meal tonight before I close my eyes and now
I am bone white
Now all at once
A step to the left or a step to the right - worlds collide
As the tip of the tongue bears the taste of rust and bone
White, the faces of a thousand men, a multitude that is me
And the tip of the tongue bears the taste of rust and bone
Fortunate one - a million ways to live - a million ways to die
Yet I'm always my mother's son - the boy who left, the boy who stayed
The forger of dreams - of golden dusks or rooftop fires
The hard way won - a door left ajar makes a lifetime change
For better or for worse - in the end it comes in waves or all at once.
10. Light Dies Last
What went wrong?
Between then and now
Moments in paradise ended by
A kick from behind
A ropedance fails
What went wrong?
Lightless stars
Fade away
So hold on tight
We won't change
But what went right anyway?
Between the sharp teeth bites and fire fueled nights
When a ropedance can fail and fail again
So what went wrong?
Between the first moon night and blood-shot eyes
When moments in paradise were ended by
A kick from behind
The ropedance fails
What went wrong?
Arms like snakes - fire fueled bullets
A night can go by fast
Tongue and teeth - teeth and talon
A night can go by fast
Light dies last
In lightless stars
Everything changes but we won't
We will go far away
To a place where death and sleep meet
We'll hunt the shadows of us to come
And find we can never be more but one
And find we can never be
Between tiger eyes and blood rush highs
When moments in paradise were ended by
No shots from behind
The ropedance fails
What went wrong?
Lightless stars
Fade away
So hold on tight
We won't change
