Melancholy

Living desires
Shouldering to stand
Glimpses searching
Dying grows
Striding to strive
What is to come
SHRIEKS!
Deep
Dumbing
We.

Dumbing Down The World

Im dumbing down the world
Yes, Im dumbing down the world
And my head is held high
And the glint in my eye
And my arrogance rumbles before me!
Im dumbing down the world!
Im dumbing down the world!
Im dumbing down, Im dumbing down the world!
Im dumbing down the world!
And my thoughts are banal, like a stagnant canal
And my sycophants shamble behind me
Im dumbing down the world
Yeah, Im dumbing down the world
Im dumbing down, Im dumbing down the world
Yeah, Im dumbing down the world!
And my power is come around, is come around
Yes! my hour is come around, is come around - look around!
Im dumbing down the world
Yes, Im dumbing down the world
And my works are designed to suck blood from your mind
For you energy feeds and sustains me!
Im dumbing down the world!
Yes, Im dumbing down the world
Im dumbing down the world (and I love it!)
Im dumbing down the world

Seek & Destory

We are scanning the scene
in the city tonight
We are looking for you
to start up a fight
There is an evil feeling
in our brains
But it is nothing new
you know it drives us insane
Running,
On our way
Hiding,
You will pay
Dying,
One thousand deaths
Running,

You have always been taking
but now you're giving

Our brains are on fire
with the feeling to kill
And it will not go away
until our dreams are fulfilled
There is only one thing
on our minds
Don't try running away
'cause you're the one we will find
Running,
On our way

Chinatown

Living and dying
In chinatown
Yes theyre living and dying down in old chinatown
You better look around
Man, you dont stand a chance if you go down in chinatown
Man, you dont stand a chance if you go down in chinatown
Laughing and crying you know its a fact
Theyre not laughing they are crying
'cause they wont be back
Oh no you dont come back
Not from chinatown
Man, you dont stand a chance if you go down in chinatown
Man, you dont stand a chance if you go down in chinatown
Chinatown, its a different scene
There are people there, they are so obscene
If you see what I mean
Then theyve sold you the dream
Down in chinatown
What goes up it must come down
Living and dying
There is no release
Living and dying
There is no relief
There is no beliefs
Not in chinatown
Man, you dont stand a chance if you go down in chinatown
Man, you dont stand a chance if you go down in chinatown

Still Searching

Im a drifter who has lost his way
And Im still searching for my dream
A wandering nomad with no home to stay
Just like a gypsy or a refugee
Lookin at another sign for another town
Wondering if Im ever gonna settle down
Or am I gonna keep on searchin till my dying day
Chorus:
Still searching, still searching, still lookin, all alone
Till I find myself a home
Still searching, still searching, just like a rolling stone
Destination still unknown
When all my energy starts letting me down
I get this feeling Ill be still wandering round
Still searching, still workin, still lookin
Until I find a way
This world is full of restless souls
Sleeping rough and living day to day
Drifters who left families wondering why they went away
Perhaps thats how I wanna be
While Im looking for some peace of mind
How can I find security?
A restless spirit who cant reach his goal
Cant find a home until Ive found my soul
Still hitchin rides and lookin for a place to go
Chorus
Still searching, still searching, still searching
Until my dying day, oh yeah
Why? yeah
Surprise, surprise
Still searching, still workin, still lookin
Until I find my way
Im a drifter who has lost his way
And Im still searching for my dream

Looking For The Final Light

Each one of us is searching for an end, well before its'due to arrive.
Each trying to contend, in life we strive.
Searching for an answer, a meaning, consciously or dreaming.
As to what and why we are in the universe?
Does everything and everyone serve a purpose?

It doesn't matter if you believe in the‘almighty',
Deep inside the seed of doubt blows,
Because mankind needs the mental security.
This is the reality everyone knows!

Art Of Dying

Therell come a time when all of us must leave here
Then nothing sister mary can do
Will keep me here with you
As nothing in this life that Ive been trying
Could equal or surpass the art of dying
Do you believe me?
Therell come a time when all your hopes are fading
When things that seemed so very plain
Become an awful pain
Searching for the truth among the lying
And answered when youve learned the art of dying
But youre still with me
But if you want it
Then you must find it
But when you have it
Therell be no need for it
Therell come a time when most of us return here
Brought back by our desire to be
A perfect entity
Living through a million years of crying
Until youve realized the art of dying
Do you believe me?

Into The Fire

Life - thin as a thread
Sometimes youre lucky
Sometimes youre better off dead
Your first breath is taken and in to the world you are cast
You long for tomorrow while living each day as your last
Well I know what your heart desires
But you cant take it with you
Into the fire
Now youve done all you can
Your lifes at the crossroads
You watch as it slips through your hands
So stand on the mountain and shout in vain at the sky
But nobody hears you - the words only echo inside
Oh shelter the flame - it may expire
Risin up from the ashes
Into the fire
Just hold on to your life down to the wire
Oh out from the dragons jaws
Into the fire
Theres a moment in every mans life
When he must decide what is wrong and whats right
You could wait for your dreams to come true
But time has no mercy
Time wont stand still for you
Well I know what your heart desires
Crawlin out from the wreckage
Into the fire
Here I go...into the fire
I know...what your heart desires

I Cant Stand It

Its hard being a man
Living in a garbage pail
My landlady called me up, ooohhh
She tried to hit me with a mop
I cant stand it anymore more
I cant stand it anymore more, oh
I cant stand it anymore more
But if candy would just come back
Itd be all right
Yeah, if candy would just come back
It would be all right, come on baby
I live with thirteen dead cats
A purple dog that wears spats
Theyre all out livin in the hall
And I cant stand it anymore
I cant stand it anymore more
I cant stand it anymore more
I cant stand it anymore more
But if candy would just come back
Itd be all right
Ooohhh, if candy would just come back
It would be all right, be all right now
Ah, come on baby
Im tired of living all alone
Yeah, nobody ever calls me on the phone
But when, ah, things start getting bad, ah
I just play my music louder
I cant stand it anymore more
I cant stand it anymore more
I cant stand it anymore more
I cant stand it, I cant stand it, oh
I cant stand it, I cant stand it
I cant stand it, I cant stand it, no
I cant stand it, I cant stand it, oh
I cant stand it, I cant stand it
I cant stand it, I cant stand it
I cant stand it, I cant stand it
I cant stand it, I cant stand it

Searching

(chorus)
Searching (repeat 15xs)
(vs.1)
Do you hear what I hear
Can you see what I see
Everybodys crying out
And yet we have no unity
My friends always ask me
Mary? tell me why do you weep
Cause Im trying to get over
All the negativity
Thats why Im searching
(chorus)
(vs.2)
We are living in a world
Of who has what? and who is who?
But Im telling you my friend
The answers right in front of you
We are searching for a peace
Piece of mind is what we need
We are searching for the love
That comes with the unity
Oh ooh oh (oh)
Oh ooh oh (everyday)
Oh ooh oh (it rains)
Oh ooh oh (can you stand the pain? )
Oh ooh oh (why do we live the way we choose to live? )
Oh ooh oh
Oh (Im telling you my brother right now that we got to be...)
(chorus)
Oh ooh oh (oh)
Oh ooh oh (why are we still searching)
Oh ooh oh (when the answers right in front of you)
Oh
Oh ooh oh (Im telling you)
Oh ooh oh
Oh ooh oh (you better look straight a head of your path)
Oh (because the love is always there)
(chorus)
I dont wanna fuss n fight
I just wanna make it right
What can we do to be strong
If we try to get along
Im not trying to preach to you
But I am still searching too, yeah
Me and you can do it, oh
I dont ever wanna be stressed out
I just wanna live my life
The way I feel that I should be
Cause I wanna be happy, happy
What about you and me

Living & Dying

Music :rudolf schenker
Lyrics:klaus meine
In the dirty old city
There is my home
Theres my home, theres my home
There is my home
Nothing really looks pretty
And Ive been alone
Ive been alone, Ive been alone
Ive been alone
And in my heart
Many wishes are crying
Living and dying
And in my heart
Many wishes are crying
Living and dying
In the house of darkness
Theres a magic stone
Magic stone, magic stone
The magic stone
But I couldnt find it
cause the shine is gone
Shine is gone, shine is gone
The shine is gone
And in my heart
Many wishes are crying
Living and dying
And in my heart
Many wishes are crying
Living and dying
Living and dying
Living and dying

Flower

She dreams of the country
Her eyes go far away.
She wishes for flowers
He says, perhaps in may.
The city always was gray
The reflections of his eyes.
And she knows he liked it that way
And that way he shall die, well...
Shes always known,
That there was something more.
Theres this hunger in her belly
Like an instinct it tells her that theres something more.
This living shouldnt be called living
cause its really only half a life.
Shes a flower that grows despite cement holes
And she will survive, she will survive.
Shes a rare breed with violet eyes
And leafy limbs.
In conversations she looks for cracks
To dig her roots deep in.
And her ways come up like daisies,
She pushes her head to the sun.
She says I am content here to grow
Despite the steel frost that consumes everyone.
Shes always known,
That there was something more.
Theres this hunger in her belly
Like an instinct it tells her that theres something more.
This living shouldnt be called living
cause its really only half a life.
Shes a flower that grows despite cement holes.
And she will survive, she will survive.
In the end these steel cages will consume us
And like coffins ignorance will take us in and
Fashion dont mean anything
cause fashion cannot be our friends.
And when all else fades away
And the city falls into its sleep.
Well still have flesh, blood, bones and
Our soul to deal with so we should
Dig our roots deep.
Always known,
That theres something more.
Theres this hunger in our bellies
Its like an instinct it tells us that theres something more.
This living shouldnt be called living
cause its really only half a life.
Shes a flower that grows despite cement holes.
And we will survive, we will survive, we will survive, we will
Survive.

Enough

The color blue
I always felt it like a sigh
But this is new
This blue fire inside his eyes
With feet of snow
I try in vain
He makes the northern lights come dance for me again
(chorus)
He's good enough
He's sweet enough
He's man enough a little touch
I need so much
I want so much
I need to feel that secret touch
Why can't I break out
Why won't he reach out for me
Oh Loneliness
It comes and it goes
But lately loneliness loneliness
It just grows and grows and grows
Cause here he is living deep inside
Nowhere nowhere nowhere to hide

Committed to Ignorance

The dumbing further down,
Of a dumbdowning done...
Only validates a stupidity,
Observed.
And not needing to be mentioned,
Intellectually...
By anyone!

Lines drawn in the sand,
On the same land shared.
Only depict those as fools doing it.
Dividing to conquer...
Over what no one has ownership.

The dumbing further down,
Of a dumbdowning done...
Only validates a stupidity,
Observed.
And not needing to be mentioned,
Intellectually...
By anyone!

Awakening from trivia,
Is a difficult task...
For those petty of consciousness,
And minds behind and glued...
To their past.

And nothing is going to change,
Those committed to ignorance!
Especially those who perceive themselves,
Creators of life!
And all that exists.

My Beautiful Reward

Well I sought gold and diamond rings
My own drug to ease the pain that living brings
Walked from the mountain to the valley floor
Searching for my beautiful reward
Searching for my beautiful reward
From a house on a hill a sacred light shines
I walk through these rooms but none of them are mine
Down empty hallways I went from door to door
Searching for my beautiful reward
Searching for my beautiful reward
Well your hair shone in the sun
I was so high I was the lucky one
Then I came crashing down like a drunk on a barroom floor
Searching for my beautiful reward
Searching for my beautiful reward
Tonight I can feel the cold wind at my back
Im flyin high over gray fields my feathers long and black
Down along the rivers silent edge I soar
Searching for my beautiful reward
Searching for my beautiful reward

Dreams and Desires

So much has been said
So little has been said
So much remains to be said
Or does it

Which is better
To act out one's desires

Or keep them to oneself

Hidden in one's dreams

How to know

Which deisres, when acted on,

Will bring more pleasure than pain

More good than grief

How to know

Which desires should be kept

Safely tucked away

Deep inside dreams

Desires versus dreams

Dreams and/or desires

That is the challenge

To balance the two

To live in the sunshine

To limit the what ifs

To limit the regrets

To live a life one can believe in
