We have lost the way
04:51

I don’t want to fight anyone
I don’t want to hate, ignore, despise or envy anyone
And although I’m not religious I don’t mind if you are
Even if I don’t speak your language, I’m sure we say the same words
We might have our differences, but music will unite us
And I will not judge you by your skin, for I am colourblind
Like the deaf, I will see you with open mind, no matter what you say.
Like the blind I will hear you with open heart, no matter what they show
And blindfolded, I want to look you in the eye,
so I can see the person who’s standing in front of me
And make up my own mind instead of following the masses
Our leaders are blinded by money and refuse to accept that the world is dying,
We all know that trees are the earth’s lunges, still we cut more.
We all know there are weapons of mass destruction, still we make more.
Greed has poisoned our souls and is the sole purpose of all wars.
We all make mistakes and making mistakes is human.
Now we must learn from our mistakes to make things right.
We must never despair, we can change if we believe in love.
If we open our hearts and respect our differences we might survive
Without humanity and kindness, we are lost.
We are all equal, but not the same.
We are not numbers, we have a name
I see the global warming on TV
A world drowning in misery
Never a moment without war
The death and dying we can’t ignore
Have we not learned from history
In war there is no victory
That weapons never did us good
Destroying houses, life and food
I see a child running for her live
Hoping that she will survive
A refugee in a foreign land
Where people refuse to understand
I see religion used as an excuse
For hate and a god is abused
We dance upon each other’s grave
It’s normal now to misbehave
The world is ruled by Wall Street
From 80 floors of cold concrete
They look down on us without remorse
The poor and weak are held by force
I see the lonely and the innocent
The good in false imprisonment
The sick without the funds will die
No helping hand but eye for an eye
It’s time for us to make a change
To make a stand and re-arrange
To make this world a better place
Or we will end the human race
It’s time for us to make a change
To make a stand and re-arrange
To make this world a better place
Or we will end the human race

Hate

HATE
I could be wrong
I could be right
That doesn’t justify the reason for your fight
I could be black
I could be white
It makes no sense at all that we cannot unite
I could be gay
I could be straight
There is no logic why this triggers all your hate
But you
You curse my name
You kick my head
I could be goth
Could be new wave
It makes no difference, you want me in my grave
An infidel
Or a hindu
You disrespect anyone who doesn’t think like you
And you
You curse my name
You kick my head
You just can’t stop
You just can’t stop
Keep pushing
Keep kicking
Keep shouting
Keep stabbing
You just can’t stop
You just can’t stop
Stabbing the life out of me
Shouting the life out of me
Kicking the life out of me
Pushing the life out of me
And you just can’t stop
You just can’t stop
HATE
You show your friends how touch you are
Run me over with your car
Forced me kiss your baseball bat
Just before it crushed my head
And you just can’t stop
You just can’t stop
Keep pushing
Keep kicking
Keep pushing
Keep kicking
And you just can’t stop
You just can’t stop

THIS EMPTY ROOM
I hear the ticking of the clock
It echoes in this empty room
First very quiet, but slowly it gains
Until it sounds like sonic booms
I try to cover up my ears
But there is no escape and no way out
I tried to warn you, but you wouldn’t listen to my cautions
I tried to tell you, but you never paid any attention
I tried to write you, but you wouldn’t notice all my warnings
And now it’s all too late and there is nothing left that I can do
I hear the ticking of my heart
It echoes in this empty room
First very quiet. but it slowly tears me apart
Until it’s broken and past recovery
You tried to warn me, why you wouldn’t listen to my cautions
You tried to tell me, why you never paid any attention
You tried to write me, why you wouldn’t notice all my warnings
And now it’s all too late and there is nothing left that you can do
We tried to warn you, but you wouldn’t listen to our cautions
And now it’s all too late and there is nothing left that we can do

FAKE NEWS
High above from my ivory tower. I can twitter 24 hours
I can insult all immigrants. Call all women stupid cunts
Name the tsar as my best friend. Make sure this world will come to an end
Build a wall to heaven and back. Give you all a heart attack
And they all adore my lies. Except the press that I despise
I ignore them just the same. Let them never play my game
And the climate will not change. I prefer the stock exchange
If you’re not a business man. You will never understand
And now I am the president. Have the world at my command
I am ready for a war. When I don’t control no more
Profits on my sinking shares. Credits from the ones downstairs
Who had voted for me then. Half the nation is my fan
The land of liberty, Reliability
The land of make believe. It’s all gone
The land with it’s own dream. The land of self esteem
The land to lead the world. It’s all gone
The land of freedom of speech. Defender of democracy
The land to show the way. It’s all gone
The land of unity. And opportunities
The land to save the world
It’s all gone. It’s all gone. It’s all gone
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
All missiles go!!

First I will turn off all the lights, as I want the room pitch dark
Except a red light in the corner, that shines as my only spark
My timer is set to seventeen seconds and I release white light
The chemicals lined up in a row are waiting for your sight
Only the paper knows your secret and keeps you in disguise
But the developer does its work and exposes you full size
The magic happens in my darkroom
As you appear out of the thin air.
The second is an acid that deactivates the first.
Insufficient fixing will make sure your image’s cursed.
After your bath you will be hanged to dry before you’re framed
The most beautiful girl I’ve seen, and I don’t know your name
The camera eye that never lies
My negatives look positive
The magic happens in my darkroom
As you appear out of the thin air.
First I will turn off all the lights
Except a red light in the corner
My timer set to seventeen seconds
The most beautiful girl I’ve seen
Out of the thin air.

Wired to the screen

It slowly takes control over our lives
It slowly creeps into our vaines
It slowly replaces our dreams
It slowly takes over our brains
Suddenly my eyes began to open
Suddenly my eyes began to see
I don’t know the dreams that I have broken
I don’t know if this is reality
For I see places
I see faces I’ve never seen
For I see faces
I see places I’ve never been
We are all addicts
Wired to the screen
You and me, a minute virtual romance
You and me, we’re wired to the screen
In a dream that couldn’t last forever
In a dream or in reality ?
For I see places
I see faces I’ve never seen
For I see faces
I see places I’ve never been
We are all addicts
Wired to the screen
It’s easy access to news and nonsense
It’s easy access to love
It’s easy access into our private lives
It’s easy access to sex
We are all addicts
Wired

I have a dream
04:05

I dream of wonder
in case of shame
it’s me who’s waiting
if you come into
my dream
I dream of loving
just you and me
you’re so exciting
when you wake me from
my dream
I dream so peaceful
so deep asleep
just when I wake up
At once I’ve lost
My dream
I never dream like MLK
I’d be lying if I said so
‘think about it when awake
I’m just not much of a hero
No, not me
Don’t want to be like JFK
Become famous when I die
I rather dream that we could play
And dance like we’re dragonflies
Dance like dragonflies!
I don’t have dreams at all
At night I’m comatose
without my memories
I miss my sweet dreams
My love
I don’t have nightmares too
No fear of leaving
Keep the internal flame
alive for you and me
My love
I fear Amnesia
Is that what’s going on
At night erasing all
My thoughts of you and me
My love
I have alternatives
To make my fantasies
Come true, but not for real
It’s called daydreaming
My love

Cowboys and Indians

In the land of uncle Sam you can be a real man
And a real man, he is armed
And they play the game of Doom out on the streets now
So why not play at school
“Every man should own a gun
And kill someone elses son
Everyman should have a knife
And take someone else’s life
Every man should have that right
This is our nation’s love and pride
To commit mass murder suicide”
And the weapons are for free, this is the law
And the law is never wrong
So why not play like cowboys and Indians
And why not play at school
Every man ….
Now the movies come to me and to my hometown
And they killed a girl tonight
So we light a torch for her and for our conscience
And we wonder what went wrong)

Shots are fired

I check my looks in the mirror
It’s time to get lost in the night
To get away from this ordinary life
And dance until we see the light
The music takes me one step higher
My friends have joined me in ‘The Sound’
But suddenly the rhythm stops and shots are fired shots are fired
And people are falling all around
Sometimes it’s hard (sometimes it hurts)
To still believe in mankind
Sometimes it’s hard (sometimes it hurts)
But we must still believe in love
I told my child of good and evil
Learned him what life is all about
What’s wrong, what’s right, have respect for everyone
Back then I didn’t had a doubt
I see him playing in the classroom
With smiling faces all around
But suddenly the laughter stops and shots are fired shots are fired
And children are falling on the ground
Sometimes it’s hard (sometimes it hurts)
To still believe in mankind
Sometimes it’s hard (sometimes it hurts)
But we must still believe in love
Sometimes it’s hard (sometimes it hurts)
To still believe in mankind
Sometimes it’s hard (sometimes it hurts)
But we must still believe in love

Neglected and torn

And the fear was in his eyes
As he realised he was lonely
And the tears came down like rain
As he asked himself again
Am I the one and only
And the rain was pouring down
Look for shelter underground
Look for compassion
Then find out that your disease
Like acid rain killing the trees
Is like some fashion
It is ….
There are too many questions
There is too little time
To find out the answers
Why words no longer rhyme
Now he’s wondering why
Why is it always me
They’ll leave me here to die
In solitary
And there is no cure found in the land
For him this virus means the end
And there are too many things he still wants to do
Neglected and torn
He left them for you
There are too many promises
He knows they all lie
Cause there’s only one truth
And that is he’ll die
And if love is the reason
He can’t understand
Why he has to go so soon to Echoland
There he hopes to find his rest
To lower his guard and stop his quest
Until that time he regrets his lust
And then it’s ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
And dust to dust
And dust to dust
