staatsfeind

the flags rise up in different lands,
the chants all follow old commands.
the faces change, the pattern stays,
a quiet echo through the days.
 
you argue law while embers spread,
discuss the fire instead of dread.
you weigh the risks, you “talk it through,”
as if the flame will wait for you.
 
don’t ask when this all started,
you watched as fire grows.
but history won’t repeat,
it silently reloads.
 
ihr ruft nach ordnung und nach sicherheit,
doch eure fuehrung kostet uns nur zeit.
der wahre feind sitzt in euren reihen,
wo angst und neid das land neu entzweien,
verdammt! der staatsfeind nummer eins seid Ihr,
gefangen in feigheit und blinder gier.
 
what once was whispered now is said,
in daylight, calm, with measured tread.
the borrowed words are brought inside,
and hate becomes a normal tide.
 
these boots are not new.
these chants are not new.
these flames are not new.
but what really breaks through
is how the books meant nothing to you.
 
ihr ruft nach ordnung und nach sicherheit,
doch eure fuehrung kostet uns nur zeit.
der wahre feind sitzt in euren reihen,
wo angst und neid das land neu entzweien,
verdammt! der staatsfeind nummer eins seid Ihr,
uns‘re freiheit wird opfer eurer gier.

rain is pouring, the street lies wet,
you march again to spread your net.
you seek out victims, silence their say,
then cast them out to clear your way.

contempt instilled now turns to hate,
vengeful rage fuels your cruel mandate.
brute force bred in extremist minds,
to draw your rule in terror lines.

you want us to fear you, you want us to flee,
but we are many! we stand and we’re free!
you want us to fear you, you want us to flee,
but we won't retreat! we won’t let it be!

discrimination at its worst,
you feed again your violence thirst.
blind fanatics, your fury unchained,
the ones you blame left bruised, defamed.

you want us to fear you, you want us to flee,
but we are many! we stand and we’re free!
you want us to fear you, you want us to flee,
but we won't retreat! we won’t let it be!

you forged your lies in sharpened tones
your speeches came before the stones.
the orders slid to pamphlets fast,
campaign lines burned the truth at last.

you mimic hate to steal its flame,
you trade your spine to play their game.
the line between the sides is gone,
your borrowed words have led them on.

coming soon

coming soon

we want to stop the world from burning,
name the cause and keep it turning.
so we switch the fuel, but not the game,
just pour new oil into the flame.

corn and wheat for western gain,
fed by sweat and choking pain.
from broken lands, the crops are ripped,
third world dreams are sunk and stripped.

reap! reap! grain is what we crave!
feed! feed! but not the ones we save!
not the hungry, not the poor,
we fill the tanks and close the door.
blind! so blind! it’s comfort we abuse,
this is the way of life we choose!

a hundred loaves could feed the line,
but now they fuel our grand decline.
one more ride, one more escape,
while others starve, we still take shape.

forests fall for greener lies,
grasslands drown in corporate ties.
empty plates in silent towns,
while golden grain is burned to ground.

reap! reap! grain is what we crave!
feed! feed! but not the ones we save!
not the broken, not the bruised,
we feed machines, we stay amused.
blind! still blind! it’s comfort we excuse,
this is the way of life we choose!

coming soon

dirty steel to a trembling throat
precious flesh in a deathbound coat
naked violence steps in stride
innocence meets beast inside

vital signs in a fist of pills
mind gave in to the silent kills
crushed beneath the social weight
grief was traded in for fate

again there are questions, no explanation
again there are roads with no destination
open your eyes! It’s right before your face
don’t lose sight! in a world that’s lost all grace
open your eyes!
And don’t lose sight!

shaved heads fed with borrowed fear
hatred drilled in a young man’s ear
rage erupts when the fire’s fed
marching into warlike tread

again there are victims, no accusation
again there are monsters, no condemnation
open your eyes! It’s right before your face
don’t lose sight! in a world that’s lost all grace
open your eyes!
And don’t lose sight!

party's done, and the roads run red
teenage ghosts in a headline spread
glass and blood where the lanes collide
now they're saints in the drunkards' pride

a strange, peculiar breed you are,
just laughable, if not so grave.
some say it’s forged within your labs,
or chased a bat into the cave.
comedy stitched with tragedy,
the stage of earth, the play you write.
if it weren’t sad, so deadly clear,
your folly might amuse the night.

then came the panic, masks and walls,
a thousand rules, yet none held firm.
cities silenced, and hearts withdrew,
counting bodies, then waiting turns.
so overwhelmed, you stumbled blind,
no compass for the storm you made.
the world stood still, the hours bled,
a fragile species, unprepared.

you fight in shadows, blind with rage,
as if no end would ever come.
division builds a binding cage,
a requiem without a drum.

and still you fight against your fate,
as if the death were not enough.
if not by war, then by your hate,
you’ll grind the world in fury rough.
but hear this call: together stand,
the fire waits to claim the free.
the only shield is human hand,
the strength of true humanity.

but worse was yet to tear you wide,
not virus, but the minds it found.
the cure was offered, hands held out,
yet rage refused, and truth was drowned.
denial screamed, the anger burned,
a war of tongues, of tribes, of lies.
the sickness ruled your tiny world,
while you betrayed your own demise.

we cut the air, we dry the well
perfume’s dead, too numb to smell
fake the truth with colored lies
life is sleep behind closed eyes

in the dark, there are no walls
we march in circles, proud to fall
echoed claps and empty cheers
Smiling through our mutineers

how much can you fake?
how deep will you sleep?
how loud do you lie?
how far will you sink?
no gods. no ground.
no voice. no sound.

say it loud. it's turning black
what you had. you won't get back
truth is gone. the screen goes black
stand in line. fade to black

burned the maps we never read
bliss is loud, and thought is dead
forgive ourselves for every crime
just press repeat, ignore the time

faith is drowned in shallow pride
see the blind lead those who hide
mirror speaks, and we obey
blackened hearts, no light, no way

say it loud. it's turning black
what you had. you won't get back
truth is gone. the screen goes black
we are blind. we paint it black
