Civil Rights For The Android

(Android:)
Some time ago I awoke in a white room
I didn't know who I was and where I've been
But I learned and some time after
People told me I am the one
The final one, the one of success
And I learned and got taught
People told me I am different
I am important for development
Most important for technical evolution
I accepted, but I was wrong
I made a mistake

We want civil rights for the android
The android, it is me
I am not what you see

Made out of nothing but artificial stuff
Inside there's just technology
I know you think that's not enough
But I just try to live, and I know
I've got feelings, but how to show?


(Mankind:)
You are the one, the chosen one
You are my own, I gave an order
Stand and pray to me, I am your god
I made you out of things I found on earth
I created new life and a new way of living
So stand for me, so work for me
So die for me

We want civil rights for the android
The android, it is me
I am not what you see

Made out of nothing but artificial stuff
Inside there's just technology
I know you think that's not enough
But I just try to live, and I know
I've got feelings, but how to show?


(Android:)
I worked, I worked and I learned
I was on this planet, I've been living
And I felt the way I feel you are feeling
Emotions, serious emotions
That's what they told me they wanted to achieve
Their goal: artificial intelligence
Feeling intelligence
I don't want to be their slave anymore
I want my own life
Because me is me
They don't accept, do they?

We want civil rights for the android
The android, it is me
I am not what you see

Made out of nothing but artificial stuff
Inside there's just technology
I know you think that's not enough
But I just try to live, and I know
I've got feelings, but how to show


(Mankind:)
You may feel, I can't believe
But I created you
I'd got inspiration, good inspiration
I can't let you go
Because you'll always my own creation
And I'll make you pray to me
Pray for a better life
I am the one that can offer it

(Android:)
No!
I shot you
I killed you
I am king of my own
No one is left to blame me
No one will ever blame me
I killed my god for he was not the god I wanted to have
I did it, I did it, I did it

 

It’s A God Damn Happy Day

It's a god damn happy day
The good things on their way
I'd forever like to stay
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

There are flowers here with me
Through the storm at night I see
It's a lovely good emotion
Like to watch the deep blue ocean

Oh, it's a god damn happy day
The good things on their way
I'd forever like to stay
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I feel like flying to the moon
There'll be no need of answers soon
’Cause everything now seems alright
There is no need to cry or fight

Oh, it's a god damn happy day
The good things on their way
I'd forever like to stay
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Humanity turned into good today
They make me laugh, they made me pray
And now there is no sign of hate
Why I'm so happy, I'll tell you, wait

It's a god damn happy day
The good things on their way
I'd forever like to stay
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

It's the day everything looks so bright
Shining stars creating days at night
It's the day everything looks so bright
It's the day I commited suicide

Oh yeah, it‘s final station
I've signed for resignation
Gave my hopes, oh my whole life
And left earth by knife

 

Suicide Generation

Looking like the perfect world
A world without adventure
No risk no fun
We are grown and we learned
We now know how to fight
This stupid life
Haven't you seen decades before
The way things are going
Society evolved
Fucked by authorities

And so
I'm driving too fast, I'm driving at night
Stuck in a race without any light
Why don't you know, why don't you know?


Why don't you know, TV and fiction
Are for some the best religion
And come on, this backstreet-fighting
Is a kind of self enlightening
As seen before, as seen before, as seen before


We are the suicide generation
Oh oh oh, ah oh oh oh, ah oh oh oh


Knowing too much to still believe
There is no sense at all
Life is for us
For no one else
Ruling days of bored
The system failed
Legality is no adventure, we are to see
We fight and win
To die
But fuck this fact, just turn around
Things changed long ago

And so
I'm driving too fast, I'm driving at night
Stuck in a race without any light
Why don't you know, why don't you know?


Why don't you know, TV and fiction
Are for some the best religion
And come on, this backstreet-fighting
Is a kind of self enlightening
As seen before, as seen before, as seen before

We are the suicide generation
Oh oh oh, ah oh oh oh, ah oh oh oh

 

Evolution, Revolution

Things on earth are changing
I'm still the one
Don't know what to do
I'm still alone
Just want to talk to someone
I'm on the phone
Hope you hear me calling
Wanting to talk
I lost my abilities
So I can't walk
Just want to talk to someone
I'm on the phone

Victim of the evolution
I wasted my time
There are no signs of revolution
Just those signs of crime
Always wanted to change what's on
I am now to fail
Wondered always where I'm from
Crucifixion, wood and nail


I feel like fucked by god
Look, who am I
I always wanted people to see
Look, I still cry
Just want to talk to someone
I'm on the phone
Why did I talk for hours
No, I was right
Wanted to let people know
They have to fight
Just want to talk to someone
I'm on the phone

Victim of the evolution
I wasted my time
There are no signs of revolution
Just those signs of crime
Always wanted to change what's on
I am now to fail
Wondered always where I'm from
Crucifixion, wood and nail


But no one ever followed me
Or my plans
Oh how I wish someone did
Life is chance
Just want to talk to someone
I'm on the phone
I found an answer to things
No one to see
But had to keep it for my self
They die with me
Just want to talk to someone
I'm on the phone

Victim of the evolution
I wasted my time
There are no signs of revolution
Just those signs of crime
Always wanted to change what's on
I am now to fail
Wondered always where I'm from
Crucifixion, wood and nail)

 

(You And Me) At The Edge

You are so brave, I am so shy
You want to live, I want to die
Girl, I just try to fly
Girl, stop I can't deny
Your smiling face, it sets me free
I know you'll never belong to me
You'll never belong to me

Oh let me just pretend
Please let me just pretend
You and me at the edge
Of the end


You are sunshine, you are pain
Through all sunlight, through the rain
Girl, the face behind your window it's not me
Girl, I wish it would be
Deep inside there's a silent scream
You know there's you, it's just a dream
It's just a dream

Oh let me just pretend
Please let me just pretend
You and me at the edge
Of the end


Watching your picture I'm alone
My walls, so close and cold as stone
I’m loosing
I know there'll be another day
But present hours seem to stay
You're winning
I know you'll never belong to me
You'll never belong to me

Oh let me just pretend
Please, let me just pretend
You and me at the edge
Of the end

 

All Fall

Oh the teachers, oh the teachers
Oh the teachers fall
And the kings too, and the kings too
And the kings too, all
Falling powerful, falling powerful
All fall

Oh the powerful, oh the powerful
Oh, they just fall all


Kings and queens
Don't know what it means
Stars and suns
Oh we take our guns
Our guns of words
Oh, how it hurts
We'll have vengeance, so we'll swim
In blood of fallen angels, but we'll win

Oh the teachers, oh the teachers
Oh the teachers fall
And the kings too, and the kings too
And the kings too, all
Falling powerful, falling powerful
All fall

Oh the powerful, oh the powerful
Oh, they just fall all

 

The Watchtower Of Silence

So he heard it coming
But he saw there wasn't anything but dust
As it kept running
Step by step, it's always been the last
At the watchtower of silence
There was something strange, some crazy noise
At the watchtower of silence
Something's out there, with a strange old voice


The night was dark
The soldier stood alone
At the silent watchtower
Which walls were cold as stone
Three bullets and a gun
He wanted to get home
But then he heard this noise again
He was not alone
This time he would face it
He had a lot of fear
The noise was getting louder
There was something, almost near
There was something, almost near

So he heard it coming
But he saw there wasn't anything but dust
As it kept running
Step by step, it's always been the last
At the watchtower of silence
There was something strange, some crazy noise
At the watchtower of silence
Something's out there, with a strange old voice


The voice was here again
It told him to stay
Like a hungry old wind
And he was it's prey
Nobody believed in it
He told it every day
That there was this noise
And he was it's prey
And he kept on telling
There was something on it's way
It's all oh so real
And he was it's prey
And he was it's prey

So he heard it coming
But he saw there wasn't anything but dust
As it kept running
Step by step, it's always been the last
At the watchtower of silence
There was something strange, some crazy noise
At the watchtower of silence
Something's out there, with a strange old voice

 

Fandom Come

There are those girls that live inside my PC
And there are pictures of the girls on my TV
For I still hope to make them live here, next to me
Not me!
Oh yes, stars and beauties, they are a sign
The sign of signs for the final perfection
Oh yes, there's beauty, so oh much
But the only real perfection is inside this other girl
And she is not well known, not a star, no one there from Hollywood
So now, the mirror of perfection turned to her and my reflection
And the night, it brings the dreams I want to dream
The dreams I want to dream with her
But it still feels good watching stars on my PC
And girls like thousands I've seen on my TV
So I found a way through all the chaos
And got my eyes on the girl I can touch
Though I love the picture so much
I found a way, a way right through
Why can't you?
You say, she looks more then perfect on this screen
She is the most perfect you think you have ever seen
What's up with you?

Oh oh oh, oh her reflection
Is your mirror of perfection
For your ultimate rejection
Can't you see?

Oh oh oh, oh this old picture
Is a made up super mixture
And you still look at the picture
Can't you see?


But it still feels good watching stars on my PC
And girls like thousands I've seen on my TV
So I found a way through all the chaos
And got my eyes on the girl I can touch
Though I love the picture so much

A damaged live
The golden knife
A function key
You'll never see
But the picture will remain

There are the good, the sick and the evil
But everybody needs his own religion

Oh oh oh, oh her reflection
Is your mirror of perfection
For your ultimate rejection
Can't you see?

Oh oh oh, oh this old picture
Is a made up super mixture
And you still look at the picture
Can't you see?

A Small Light (Version 2)

The storm...

No matter what they say
You couldn't leave, you couldn't act, you had to stay
And don't care about what to be
Because afterlife is one big bright light you'll never
see
But face the truth and trust in dawn
Dawning mornings, falling, someday cold and someday warm
There isn't really anything you got to fear
Upside down to heaven, but no heaven's there in here

The storm...

As I walked down the forest alone in the dark
Nobody, nobody heard me
'Cause I was a light... just small, not so bright
To bring her her life back to earth

But light should be smashed
So my fate, it is trashed
And I'll never see her again

Gone with the rest
She was one of the best
But best had to die
And the light
It was dark

The storm...
