RELEASE DATE
8 Jul 2010ALBUM CONCEPT
with obsession as sharp as glass, steinschlag confronts temptation, guilt and divine betrayal. it’s a descent into holy sins and sacred transgressions, where judgement strikes with the force of a landslide.sharp, seductive, and damning – steinschlag is a sonic landslide. It blends cold, hypnotic electronics with eruptive bursts of sound that mirror inner tremors of accusation and conviction. the cover, marked by a rockfall warning on a desolate mountain road, warns of the moral collapse ahead. every track is a falling stone, gathering weight as it descends.

LYRICS
folgt jemand nur dem herz
treibt unzucht unverfror‘n
dann waehlt er einen schmerz
verteilt mit gottes zorn
vergraben bis zum rumpf
das urteil wird vollstreckt
die treffer hart und dumpf
der grund von blut befleckt
steinschlag – am vormittag
stein fuer stein – bis auf‘s mark
steinschlag – am nachmittag
stein fuer stein – kein grab, kein sarg
wozu diese tortur?
hast du denn nichts gelernt?
letztlich bist auch du nur
einen steinschlag entfernt!
du trittst das menschenrecht
wir nehmen dich auf‘s korn
in diesem endgefecht
bleibst du nicht ungeschorn.
steinschlag – am vormittag
stein fuer stein – bis auf‘s mark
steinschlag – auch am naechsten tag
stein fuer stein – weil es gott so mag
treibt unzucht unverfror‘n
dann waehlt er einen schmerz
verteilt mit gottes zorn
vergraben bis zum rumpf
das urteil wird vollstreckt
die treffer hart und dumpf
der grund von blut befleckt

you tried to make me a believer
made me think you‘re the retriever
but your advice is of no use
there’s no more power to abuse
time’s up for telling us what to do
here’s my confession: i’m hating you
give me one more reason
give me one more cause
do another mistake
and i’ll burn down your cross
you tried the human subjugation
that’s your sick way of revelation
you searched for little faithful lambs
to round them up in sacral camps
time’s up for your biblical battue
here’s my confession: i’m hating you
give me one more reason
give me one more cause
do another mistake
and i’ll burn down your cross
you tried to cramp your eyelids with blame
but don’t hold back the tears of shame
you are trying to close your eyes
it‘s time for you to realize
time’s up for strutting fame’s avenue

here’s my confession: i’m hating you
rain is pouring, the street is wet
you've marched up again to spread your net
you seek out victims, silencing their say
to cast them out and sweep them away
you want us to fear you, you want us to flee
but you should beware! be scared and fear me!
contempt instilled, now appears as hate
vengeful rage fuels your cruel mandate
brute force, born in extremist minds
trying to expand their terror lines
you want us to fear you, you want us to flee
but it still echoes: be scared and fear me!
discrimination at its worst
trying to quench your violence thirst
blind fanatics, their fury unchained
those declared guilty will be disdained
you want us to fear you, you want us to flee
soon you'll know it’s me: be scared and fear me!
what’s the point? it makes no sense?
i won’t give you a second chance!
look me in the face! look into my eyes!
prick up your ears: you will pay the price!

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
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

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
her eyes lose their lustre in tears
the horizon starts to blur
a sea of black despair appears
pain drips in a trickle of blood
evil rises, lines are trespassed
promised mercy stayed away
wine of innocence in a frail glass
just shattered by brute force
what has become of you?
what came to your mind?
you’re so strange and diseased
and just so blind
your pleasure means my pain
cause you'll break me again
god's sense of humor, he can’t restrain
branches broken, a dress was torn
feelings suppressed by torturing pain
cries for help fall silent
i’m sick of your creatures
this scum of your kind
without mercy and scruples
hatred’s unconfined
your pleasure means my pain
cause you'll break me again
you revel in causing grief
hatch pain in your sick mind
watch your victims suffer
as you leave them behind
your pleasure means my pain
a never-ending strain
the horizon starts to blur
a sea of black despair appears
pain drips in a trickle of blood

you revel in causing grief
hatch pain in your sick mind
watch your victims suffer
as you leave them behind
your pleasure means my pain
a never-ending strain
tears fall down on scripture's face
small hands clasped in silent grace
father’s “love” – a cruel disguise
where are you, god, who hears no cries?
scruples rot in holy greed
charity cloaks the darkest deed
what was sacred now defiled
morals crossed, and truth reviled
why do you make bodies shiver?
why do you make young hearts break?
why do you let monsters slither?
why do you leave love in their wake?
i scream your name into the sky
while angels choke on every lie
still the Bible drinks their tears
still the silence fuels our fears
drawn in blood with trembling hands
is this your will, your promised land?
you turn your gaze, you let them fall
while evil dances in your hall
so if you speak, then hear me now
i’ll break your throne and show you how
no more delay – you will be chained
no more escape from children's pain
if you remain...
i will make your heaven shiver
i will make your sick heart cry
i will break your crown forever
and I’ll watch your kingdom die
with every scar, with every breath
i raise this hymn of holy death
small hands clasped in silent grace
father’s “love” – a cruel disguise
where are you, god, who hears no cries?
scruples rot in holy greed
charity cloaks the darkest deed
what was sacred now defiled
morals crossed, and truth reviled
why do you make bodies shiver?
why do you make young hearts break?
why do you let monsters slither?
why do you leave love in their wake?
i scream your name into the sky

no more escape from children's pain

i will make your heaven shiver
i will make your sick heart cry
i will break your crown forever
and I’ll watch your kingdom die
with every scar, with every breath
i raise this hymn of holy death
gottes frucht geboren in diabolischer pracht
das kreuz scheint zerstoert durch des teufels macht
er propagiert seine predigt, der ich erliege
kerzen umgeben die entweihte wiege
man wird kein vaterunser hoeren, noch ein amen
wendet euch ab! vergesst ihre namen!
vom beten verkrampfte haende zeugen von der pein
niemand sollte der kirche werkzeug sein
den wegweisenden sinn hat die bibel verloren
ein neuer herr wurde auserkoren
der kirche bekehrung wird keine opfer finden
niemand wird mir die augen verbinden
auch demuetigste laemmer werden nicht verschont
sie werden geschroepft und mit der steuer belohnt
neu formiert werden wir schliesslich aufmaschieren
um unser’n papst zu kompromittieren
der sturm ist entfacht, das kreuz steht in flammen
wer von euch will uns jetzt noch verdammen?
dunkle massen beleben nun die nacht
vorbei ist’s mit eurer kirchen supermacht

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!
name the cause and keep it turning.

glaubwuerdigkeit war mein bedarf
drum nahm ich mir den pelz vom schaf
du sollst nur auf mein aeuß’res schaun
wer wuerde schon ‘nem wolf vertraun
auf leisen sohlen geht’s zu dir
und als ich schlug an deine tuer
nichts boeses auf der zunge sass
weil ich ein stueckchen kreide frass
dein leben, die freiheit ich nehm es dir
mit meinem lauschangriff und meiner gier
mein wahn nach sicherheit in diesem land
ein präventivschlag ohne verstand
ich sehe was, was du nicht weißt
dein leben, die treue du mir verheisst
du öffnest brav, laesst mich hinein
dein kleines leben ist nun mein
ich fress dich nicht, ich will nur seh’n
wirst du in meiner welt besteh‘n
dein leben, die freiheit ich nehm es dir
mit meinem lauschangriff und meiner gier
mein wahn nach sicherheit in diesem land
totale kontrolle aus einer hand
ich sehe was, was du nicht weißt
dein leben, die treue du mir verheisst
