lyrics 01. January 1997
Wise and dumb move beside the blind And kind persons we pass by. We hide while they march with pride, So high and far above us, They lie but they don’t know why They see nothing at all.
Hearts, small parts of our innerselves, They cry for they salvation. I know well, but I cannot tell What spins and turns in your head. You die, but you don’t know why You’ve learned nothing at all.

lyrics 01. April 1996
While the second train arrives, Deep depressions fill their minds. When the time has come, to change. You should begin to rearrange.
But in the third time they were surprised. Because they suddenly realized, They never wanted to know a thing, But know they got to know what life brings.
They never realized the click of the shot From the gun pointed at their head.
But noone makes a change. And when they felt the cold of steel again, They faced the fact that dead was close at hand. But what’s the use of being intelligent, When the trigger is pullede by your enemies hand?
They never realized when it was too late, But somehow they had known that this was their fate.

lyrics 01. January 1998
You get pleased when you earn. You earn just to please yourself. The wheels that you turn, Rolling over everyone else.
Seems that you care, for all…
You have all that you want, Still you’re not satisfied. There’s so much else. Still it is shining bright.
Seems that you want it all…
You will freeze when you burn, All the hate kept inside, Squeeze what you earn, So noone is safe inside.
Freeze when you burn. Nothing will fall behind. You’re a fient.
You will scream when you turn, You turn just to scream at me. Seems that the days Hated you just like me.
Looks like you’re scared of all…
Fear is your friend, Though you never wanted it. He’s still with you. He don’t cares if you’d admit.
Looks like he’s you at all…
Have’nt you learned? Never you turned. Washing away your yesterdays.

lyrics 11. March 1998
Smiling, grinning at the world. Not thinking twice, Not even thinking once.
Starving, though eating everything. You’ve seen the light, You never saw the dark.
It’s a false belief But she was always shure it’s true. It’s a false belief But she had always known it’s true.
Laughing, no tears at all. Never you cry. you’ll never die.
Everybody is so cool. Everybody is nice, they all love you.
It’s up to you.

lyrics 19. November 1996
While we gaze at the sun. You just stare beyond. Facing your desires. Hiding in your light.
Though we may be parted. We just try to breathe. In our own dirt, thrown up. Trying to cleanse.
We’ve been pushed too far. There’s no need to lie. We’re beyond the deadline. Lord knows we wont fly.
Though we may be darkened. There’s no chance for you. So live in your opinon. Don’t take something new.
Have you told your mother. You will be home soon? Did you try to bother. The sun and the moon?
If you try to follow. The path they once rode. You will have to swallow. The same dirt that you’ve thrown up.
