Lyrics:
We crowd the earth
With gas and treason

A sacred gift
We shed with reason



Until our hopes blow up

We will never care

We will never care

Here´s to being human

Gods of temptation

Feast till the downfall

Grow into the ending

Like tombstones in the sun

We pollute our souls

With lies against the bleeding

Progress is all we know

Cause in this race there is no ceiling

So you better run as fast as you can

Cause the time keeps ticking

No matter where you at

Smother the facts

When our lives blow up

We ain´t coming back

Here´s to being human

Gods of temptation

Feast till the downfall

Grow into the ending

Like tombstones in the sun

Under the banner of salvation

We feast the blood of limping nations

While we strive for more

Will we face the truth

Of our own demise

Will we realize

That we only aim at power and control

While we're digging our own fucking hole



we're just digging our own fucking hole

Some say I told you so

Some question all we do

But In the end we all

Don´t want to come up short

Lyrics:
Drag me down to the depths, you're my calamity
Your touch is burning agony
I know I can't escape reality
I'm falling into you

My fears are taking control
As I'm sinking into this black hole
Shrouded in darkness and woe
From the shadows I cannot let go

Holding on
But you keep pulling me down
I am holdin on
But I can’t seem to break the sound

Drag me down to the depths, you're my calamity
Your touch is burning agony
I know I can't escape reality
I'm falling into you
Drag me down to the depths, you're my disharmony
The chaos and your symphony
I know I cannot escape reality
I'm falling into you

It’s like you turned off the light
It’s like you drained all the colors from life
Why am I lonely at night?
You make me feel like the stars losing light

Holding on
But you keep pulling me down
I am holdin on
But I can’t seem to break the sound

Drag me down to the depths, you're my calamity
Your touch is burning agony
I know I can't escape reality
I'm falling into you
Drag me down to the depths, you're my disharmony
The chaos and your symphony
I know I cannot escape reality
I'm falling into you

Drag me down to the depths, you're my calamity
I know I can't escape this reality
Drag me down to the depths, you're my disharmony
The screams in my head are your melody
Drag me down to the depths, you're my calamity
Your touch is burning agony
I know I can't escape reality
I'm falling into you

Lyrics:
I give it all
Shoot for the stars
You feed yourself
While I starve
You never
Had my back
Not a bit
You left me hanging
I call it quits
You Damn hypocrite

You were faking, simulating
But the times have changed
No more hiding, no disguising
Lay down your veil

I, I leave you behind
Cut all of our ties,
before you bleed me dry

We built this world for you
I can see right through you
Every time
I died some more on the inside
You bleed me dry
like a parasite

it is a matter of give and take
Not fighting for your own sake
Backstabber!
And in the final Aftermath
You will show me your bare face
without a mask

You were faking, simulating
But the times have changed
No more hiding, no disguising
Lay down your veil

I can’t see through your eyes
I can’t justify
The way you bled me dry

We built this world for you
I can see right through you
Every time
I died some more on the inside
You bled me dry
like a parasite

I choke on the air you breathe
I won’t let you sow you’re seeds
I Won’t hear the lies you preach
I won’t be fool you bleed

After All Of This
You still try to stab my back
And while you’re loosing ground
You still try to bring me down

We built this world for you
I can see right through you
Every time
I died some more on the inside
You bled me dry
you fucking parasite

Lyrics:
Your sweet insanity is whispering in my ears
And you speak of honesty by lying to yourself
So tell me, do you know any more good stories?
Which role should I play?
And I can be the least of all of your worries
How often can you say
Believe me, I'm so sorry
But the truth is, I'm not a part of your story
My world is incomplete
And you've been filling in the gaps with lies
And we're all just characters
You've written between the lines
So tell me, do you know any more good stories?
Which role should I play?
And I can be the least of all of your worries
How often can you say
Believe me, I'm so sorry
But the truth is, I'm not a part of your fucking story
My world is incomplete
Where I've fallen at your feet
My world is incomplete
While you get back on your feet
Hanging from this framework of good stories
And making your own moral categories
However, the wreckage that you leave
I've proven to myself that I am very naive
I just didn't wanna know
The large gift of your narrative skill
More than anything I get to know
I get to know that words can kill
Hanging from this framework of good stories
Of double meanings and parallel worlds
Against a wall where souls are hurled
My world is incomplete, how often can you say
Believe me, I'm so sorry
But the truth is, I'm not a part of your story
My world is incomplete
Where I've fallen at your feet
My world is incomplete
While you get back on your feet

Lyrics:
Now it is party you know it is
And everyones falling in love again
But she fell in love with the drugs
And that’s when it’s stopped being fun

You notice the gear Running low
Well Give me the money I’ll go
You can’t have that shit running out
Cos nobody wants to come down

You’ve started the night and implying it’s
A drink with your friends to unwind a bit
You’re laughing and sharing their wine
You’re all losing track of the time
Then somebody racks up a line
And no you politely decline
Then somehow you’re changing your mind
Maybe I’ll just have a line

Somebody better call frank
But then when Frank arrived
He just got fucked up too
Somebody better call frank
But Frank was talking so much shit
And none of it was true

And you’re flying right now
But your happiness
Is just a loan from the future
And you’re drinking it down
From a fountain of youth
That dries up the future

The cocaine has got your tongue
And you’re gonna pay it back
gonna pay it back someday
The cocaine has got your tongue
Cause you’re only talking so much shit
That never means anything
That never means anything

She’s calling you up on the phone
And why is it taking so long
You’re not really feeling her tone
She’s talking so fast you don’t know
As soon as you’re back in the room
Everyone’s playing their tune
Everyone’s talking at once
Watchin you racking it up

And as the sun is coming up
It’s frank who says to you
What’s the matter now son
Has the cocaine got your tongue

Lyrics:
We‘re unaware
Into an imperium with no right vision
Nice clean streets, pretty Houses and trees
Every day’s the same, everything is arranged
We’re part of the game. Nothing has changed

Sweet voices in your head selling you plastic life
Re-runs of sitcoms in this paradise

I am running, running, running
We’re all running, running, running
We’re so pure, so rare, slowly bleeding out
Unaware - until we’re running out of air

Into an imperium with many illusions
Neon signs to a world of fairy tales
Every day’s the same, everyone’s just fake
We’re part of the game, We’re all on the take

Run, run, run, until we run out of air
They’re watching us, they are telling us what to do
We are unaware until we run out of air

I sit in silence now, no voices to wrap me in sweet illusion
No plastic promises, a false reality within this imperium
