Raised
(02:23)Musik geschrieben am 01. Januar 1996
Text geschrieben am 01. Januar 1996Raised by walls
Set in a cage
No back no forward
No turning pageInsanity turns into rage
Don’t know anything
Don’t know my ageDon’t know if this hell I feel is real
Don’t know the difference
Between real and dream
Loneliness turn to a scream
Happyness, what does it mean?
Nothing to me, so it seemsDon’t know if this hell I feel is real

Text geschrieben am 01. Januar 1996You can Rise if you change
You will see it is strange
How it feels to be here
Start to think, have no fearEven if you close one eye you’ll see enough to realise
Feel the pain, start to think
You will see what it bringsIt will change …
See the pain in your youth
…
…Even if you close one eye you’ll see enough to realise
Feel the pain, start to think
You will see what it brings - 06.

Thrown Up Dirt
(03:49)Stimmung EADgbe
Musik geschrieben am 01. Januar 1996
Text geschrieben am 19. November 1996While we gaze at the sun.
You just stare beyond.
Facing your desires.
Hiding in your light.Though we may be parted.
We just try to breathe.
In our own dirt, thrown up.
Trying to cleanse.We’ve been pushed too far.
There’s no need to lie.
We’re beyond the deadline.
Lord knows we wont fly.Though we may be darkened.
There’s no chance for you.
So live in your opinon.
Don’t take something new.Have you told your mother.
You will be home soon?
Did you try to bother.
The sun and the moon?If you try to follow.
The path they once rode.
You will have to swallow.
The same dirt that you’ve thrown up. - 12.
Freeze When You Burn (Take 1)
(01:59)Stimmung EADgbe
Musik geschrieben am 01. Januar 1998
Text geschrieben am 01. Januar 1998You get pleased when you earn.
You earn just to please yourself.
The wheels that you turn,
Rolling over everyone else.Seems that you care, for all…
You have all that you want,
Still you’re not satisfied.
There’s so much else.
Still it is shining bright.Seems that you want it all.
You will freeze when you burn,
All the hate kept inside,
Squeeze what you earn,
So no one is safe inside.Freeze when you burn.
Nothing will fall behind.
You’re a fient.You will scream when you turn,
You turn just to scream at me.
Seems that the days
Hated you just like me.Looks like you’re scared of all.
Fear is your friend,
Though you never wanted it.
He’s still with you.
He don’t cares if you’d admit.Looks like he’s you at all.
Haven’t you learned?
Never you turned.
Washing away your yesterdays. - 13.

Passage II.
(00:51)Stimmung EADgbe
Musik geschrieben am 01. Januar 1996
Text geschrieben am 28. November 1996There’s an open door by my side
But there’s no room to enter
It’s a face that shows itself
After it’s been hinderedNorth is what is in their minds
Cold as nuclear winter
Forces the truth to go and hide
Holds their lives in its cageThere’s something to enter
Warm and brightWe are in this parted world
Spaces getting larger
There’s no reach for help by now
Communication is harderBored of our intelligence
It seems we’re getting dumber
Noone thinks and noone moves
Everyone gets his number - 16.
Dark
(02:32)Stimmung EADgbe
Musik geschrieben am 01. Januar 1995
Text geschrieben am 01. Januar 1995You watched the sun going by
Can’t even see the light
The time is passing by
No use for »now« and »then«There’s no use for a name
No use, noone to blame
You looked to deep in the glas
Now and then and in the pastWould you be you for me?
Noone around would see
(you) fake your identity
Would you be like you feel?Take mine it’s yours by now
You should try to allow
Others to see what you are
You would’nt repentThere’s nothing I can do by now
To help you in your life
If you don’t see the truth
If you play with the knife - 17.
Intrusion
(03:29)Stimmung EADgbe
Musik geschrieben am 16. Mai 1998
Text geschrieben am 16. Mai 1998What are you saying, oh.
What’s that you’re praying, no.
Your intrusion is one of a deeper kind.
Your solutions are the worst problems you can find.Who ordered you, oh.
No help for you, no.Oh, your weakness has blocked my way.
Oh, never wanted you to stay.Your walls have raised me, oh.
Noone had saved me, no.Who can escape you, oh.
Sure i got raped too, no.You had come again and again again,
To bother me…
So you are shoving me to the edge. - 18.
So Right
(02:00)Stimmung EADgbe
Musik geschrieben am 23. Mai 1998
Text geschrieben am 23. Mai 1998It don’t seems like autumn.
No it’s no dark time at all.You may not know it,
But i was there.
You may not show it,
But you did care.You never gave a chance.
To pass you by.You were the magnet,
But i wasn’t of iron.
But you caught me anyway.I just asked and it was right.
And you just stepped into the lightIt was so right.
Time flew on by,
Wasn’t it right,
Sleep at daylight,
It was so right,
Spent all the night,
To watch her blind,
Watch for your eyes - 19.

Passage I.
(04:40)Stimmung EADgbe
Musik geschrieben am 25. August 1997
Text geschrieben am 03. November 1996It’s an open door on my side
There’s no room to enter
But the ground on which i stand
Is so familiar now it’s my homeThere’s no other way to decide
For to stay i pray, but i’m pulled
No face waits for me, for a smile
Abused by our fate all the whileSo i’m standing here between myself
Thoughts end in my head, no such thing
Wait for me or anyone else
It’s our fate to choose by ourselves
