Über uns

Down in the dusty landscapes
In the Middle East
Far away from home
To fight enemies I don’t hate

Brothers giving fire like hell
I count the bullets I still have
The only insurance I got
Here in no man’s land

In the heat of fight
An angel touched ground
Hell was burning in my eyes
Already seen too much

The heaven was under fire
Too mad to talk about
A victim in its mother’s tomb
Killed by enemies I don’t hate

This war took everybody’s grace
Even the angels don’t care
This war took everybody’s grace
Even the angels don’t care

Don’t break under the spell
Don’t let the enemy dwell
Kill them so blood is to smell
Wash it all away in the well

When the time has come
Put the mask on

Make them a bloody bath
Let it be filled with your wrath
And the ones who could flee
Count the days, they’ll feel free

When the time has come
Put the mask on

Light falls through two simple holes in my eyes
All the dreams that I ever had are gone now
My knife is blinding you forever

All the world ablaze
Flying high not watching
Set my mind to erase
Never care for what’s below

This is a different phase
Off to spheres without connection
I find myself in space
Astray between the times

I’m not a single case
A wish that wasn’t mine

Looking for a trace
In emptiness surrounding
Take a step outside the maze
Give me peace inside

Already on another star
So far from what is real
I’m mad but without reason
Meaningless and unseen

Down to earth again
After all my flights so far
Drag my feet to soil
Avoid to care for what’s around

My life’s about consumption
In need for lonely space
Tearing up my life
But no one even cares

A wish that wasn’t mine
I’m nothing without haze

You knew the road to well for the men you are
Stepping up from Rome to take the people‘s land
You bring the lightning, but we raise thunder
Varus and Arminius are calling for the march

Burn in fire of unknown gods
We are legion we are strong
Feel the heat of northern rage
If you kill one two more will come
Hear the swords behind the trees
Arrows soar down to darken your sun
Come to grief in the face of our shields
Halo of victory fades in these lands

Your final fate defined in forests you don’t know
Conquered man by man unable to arrange
Meaningless majority scattered and crushed
An emperor defeated when Mars meets Tyr

All the pills I swallowed
And the steps I took
Couldn’t save me
Save me from myself

Bleak soul so worn
Free fate so bound

All the rules I followed
My thoughts disarrayed
They won’t lead me
Lead me to no end

Bleak soul so worn
Numb mind so lost

Lust has
Crushed my soul
Lust will
Antecede

Call me evil, call me saint
Riven mind against itself
At all times the strain of man
Source of joy and root of hate

Call me evil, call me saint
Let it out or bear it down
From the deeps it’s creeping up
The master of all life

Oh he comes from the town
Where the dust never lays
Earth’s air changed, radiation
First they die, then we will

Hear his tales, tales of fear
Caused by greed of our leaders
Never learn from the past
Carry on, death and doom

Now I’ve become
Death

Candlelight
Flaring eyes
Hands in ropes
Tied down to the bed

Eerie signs
All has changed
Since the night
When the lights went out
You are possessed

Cross held high
By the priest
Pray and hope
For the innocent

Devils grip
Holding strong
Cast him out
Though a tempest comes
We will not bow

Lord have mercy
Save my child
Send an angel
I beg for nothing else
All you grace
Let it shine
What have we done
To test our faith like this

What I got, I won’t let go
This soul is mine
You can keep what’s left

See the body levitate
Breaking glass and wicked screams
Throw the sinners to the wall
Shove the cross into their throats
Flames burst out to burn the skin
Welcome to the grave
In the end I’ve got you all
Blood! Fire! Death!

All exhausting roads so far
Proud though bloody knees
Every wound so meaningless
Look ahead to leave behind

Footsteps in wet sand
Covered by cold tides
The darkening sky shrouds rising waves
Through the veil you hear me cry

Don’t follow me
Repent too much, repent too less
Sorrow clouds my tired eyes
Searching for relief

Another tear drains to the sea
Never follow me

Memories disappear
With no one by my side
Ways will part as time goes by
The light will guide me home
