one fine day i won't have
one fine day i won't give
one fine day i will just be
and then i'm breaking free
i'll leave it all behind
i want to follow that way
but sirens sing
they call my name
to keep me in this game
addicted to consumption
a slave of materiality
false suns keep blinding me
to bring me of my way
the bigger my greed is
the narrower the way becomes
and sirens sing
they call my name
to keep me in this game
and sirens scream
right in my ear
temptation is so near
one step closer to the end...
consumption how bitter-sweet
satisfaction can't be gained
through the possession of useless goods
the desire to get and posses increases the fear to lose it all
it paralyses all my action
more and more and more and more

hollow inside

so burned out and so hollow
emptiness is all that i feel
so easy to point out the others' mistakes
and so dishonest with myself
doubts are all that is left in me
they're growing steadily
everything is moving
but i seem to be stuck forever
the illusion to be happy just collapsed again
and all the mechanisms i've created fail
i am smiling but inside i cry
i am laughing but inside i burst with rage
i wonder why i do the same mistake
over and over again
almost sure i'll do it
i could change everything surrounding me
to build another reality
too weak to change my desire
too smart to fall for my own lies
and so i keep consuming
trying desperately to fill myself

our battle, our struggle, is to create art.
our poetry will be shadows that lengthen and conceal
our light will play across living faces that laugh and agonize
and our music will linger and finally overwhelm
because it will have a context as certain as the grave
we are scientist engaged in the creation of memory
but our memory will neither blur nor fade

reign

once they gathered, fought and found
what they believed to become the eternal reign
convinced of their superiority, they lived an illusion
blinded by the victories / poisoned through the comfort
the ghosts of the decadence arose
the ghosts of the decadence arose
the empire suffocated by itself
corruption, lethargy and slavery
was all that remained
the eternal reign drowned in human weakness
again some gathered and created
the foundation of the perfect system:
lies!
and with the knowledge of the past
laws were passed to conserve the reign
convinced of only their ideas, they suppressed freedom
heading exactly the same way
as their ancient idols
they were marching towards the certain end
protected by the most powerful weapons
creating an economy to ease the living
trying everything to keep the structures
they built up an illusion
drowning in corruption, lethargy and slavery
your power will fade away
only ruins will remain
nothing lasts forever; it's a waste of time
and history repeats itself
