POST COLONIALISM Your mind is the prison, for hundreds of years Post-colonialism, woke up, face your fear Wounds, never healed, are ripped up open again Breathe their dust, wait for, wait for, wait for Wait for our lungs to collapse How long you want to wait for a sign, In flagranti, year after year, the west was caught committing the crime But tell me, who cares? As long as stocks raise into the air. We live on fire Take it to the heart, who is to blame? Western imperialism – still the same Colonialism was just the start World on fire, here we are We’re living in a world on fire We’re living in a world on fire They’re dead horses, on the blooming fields of life Working to dead, to be replaced, by the next We’re living in a world on fire We’re living in a world on fire Searching for a vision, former clarity It doesn’t matter, because they choose your destiny We’re living in a world on fire We’re living in a world on fire The stocks they rise, they pay the price the western dream, Is their demise

Monuments 02:24
MONUMENTS Old monuments that pave our city Every brick, all of it Is a part of the wall of shame, exposing it, showing what we did Slavery, dictatorship, our dark history Some people still look proudly up to it It’s their dead-end path, their one-way track their misconception of history Wrong century, for your bigotry We want better things to last Why are you living in the past? Let’s raise new monuments I’m not ashamed of, that I look up to Monuments of equality and freedom That stay forever in our minds What about we paint them We paint them all black What about we destroy them Brick by brick, all of it What about we smash them From stone to dust? What about we set fire And end up with it?

Go on 02:03
GO ON Take your time No hurry, that’s alright The road will lead us nowhere But we chose this direction No flag to follow, but thousands to burn A life to fill with content, to live and to learn Reasons to go on, try to make these moments last Friends filled with passion Full of dedication In a chase for change for better days Not longing for your greedy ideologies Your racist clichés, the way you want us to be Take your anger, turn it into desire A single spark, to ignite the fire Devotion, a need for action I have to say, can’t shut my mouth Sometimes this world makes me lose my mind But it’s you who keeps me walking this thin line Go on, go on – full of dedication Go on, go on – in a chase for change Go on, go on – this road will lead us somewhere Go on, go on – to better days

Memento Mori 02:22
MEMENTO MORI This voice in your head Fighting yourself every day Makes you doubt and regret And chains you up like a slave How can one deserve this, how can this be? Why am I the only one, why they do it to me? No one there, apart from yourself Feels like hell, a tiny prison cell Self regret, no self respect Is the venom in your blood Yes you are free, free to be Like a never-ending story Like a fight that never ends Eating you from the inside But it’s a fight against yourself This voice in your head Fighting yourself every day Makes you doubt and regret And chains you up like a slave A flower to bloom, a bud to grow A mind to expand, a prison to break A light far away, a little drop of hope A behaviour to change, just a little step

LONGING FOR THE SEA Currents thrift you back into the sea These waves will be the death for me It won’t wait It will drown Change directions, give it all Currents thrift you back into the sea These waves will be the death for me Shipwrecked, drown to the ground, Misery, All the way down, a graveyard and a tomb Thousands awful years to come The place we set our bones forever Back to the shore, we’ll come back never These waves, will be the death of me These currents, will drag me back to the sea You’re the captain of this ship Chance for change, make the best of it But maybe we should let it drown It’s all too late, the rats are already gone It won’t wait It will drown Change directions, give it all

DRUNK OF LIFE I wanna live my life drunk Drunk of good times Drunk of cheap beers Drunk of life, having high times Rather than living a boring life sober at the wrong place At the wrong time On the wrong street Always on the run, but still never to be found Always passing by, Keep on breathing Breathing burnt air Always on the run And say you pretend to feel, because It’s better than feeling nothing at all It’s better than being stuck in the same routine Not able to handle it, not able to stay clean If you ask me I would not change a single thing As the heart in my chest beats To the beat of these good times I want to be drunk Drunk on high times I want to be drunk Drunk of good times

Insomnia 01:59
INSOMNIA Where should I start? Where should I go? Where will it end? I need to know Where should I start? Where should I go? Who steals my sleep? I need to know Leave this town, let your reasons go Slave to no one, Slave to no one Leave this town, let your reasons go Slave to no one, Slave to no one Where should I start? Where should I go? Where will it end? I need to know Where should I start? Where should I go? Who steals my sleep? I need to know All these decisions Stealing my sleep Insomnia, walking into the dark Always on the run Submission to no one No one, no one Leave a landmark to no one No one, no one Leave a landmark to no one, just for yourself! Oh-Oh Leave a landmark to no one, just for yourself! Oh-Oh Leave a landmark to no one, just for yourself!

Ungovernable 02:10
UNGOVERNABLE Move on, move on. Move on One more shot, one more round Move on, move on. Move on Keep it up, don’t let it push you down All these lucky fucked up faces We saw and shared time In all these fucked up places Let’s be strangers together, create a sound unite our breathe, scream Laugh and let it all drown Turning nights into stories We live for and never forget we can get to know each other and we won’t regret and we won’ forget Let’s talk about disillusion No time for this shit, you better forget it Let’s talk about resignation Not a minute not a second, I think about it

DICTADEMOCRACY A dark day in October and the sun shines bright But the clouds arrive and the sky turns black Teargas against the people’s voice The longing for change against the oppressors’ guns Let’s call it by its name fucked up from the start Established 50 years ago, by elite and military A constitution, not allowing change and liberty And now you wonder, how can this be The torch is burning, the people unite Your repression, your greed Our fire, our believe Clench your fist, rage, resist! What did you think, how it will end? people having no power, never taking revenge? These are their darkest days Their empire falls Let it burn – Resist!

LOVE LETTERS FROM LISBON Consider it, these were the words I last heard; the connection got lost It was all gone, all washed away One single second, and our lives changed Let me write you a letter, as personal as it can be It would start with a goodbye, As I can not start over and over again Although it all flashes into my mind Like the one time we got stuck on a roof in Lisbon One more shot, blackout, gone Until now to this day I carry your broken dreams Love letters from Lisbon Consider it, that’s what I do Love letters from Lisbon Not giving up, let it become true Carry your broken dreams Love letters made their path From coast to coast, from east to west, from south to north let us dream of our past All the time we spent, all the nights we drank All the arguments, all the fights The only thing I was looking forward to Were these letters, written by you

Dreams 02:07
DREAMS You can’t please them all Have to let some people fall Build up confidence Dismiss it all Life comes hard so take your part, Don’t fall asleep Don’t sell it cheap! This music in our hearts Is the torch of reason burning in our life Let’s raise our fists and don’t lose your mind Because our dreams are longer than their nights The beat in my chest, my inner unrest Feels like running into the light Raise your fist and don’t lose your mind Because our dreams are longer than their nights But after all Struggle, it’s real, it’s on Bruised, beaten, open knees But not broken, still believe And if we look into each others’ eyes We know, it was right You and me, right here right now

TO YOU, TO ME If you have one chance Just this only one You can’t be stopped Things can’t be undone On a journey, on a run In the place we call safe A place like a fortress to welcome everyone Old values, it may take some time They Should be reconsidered once a while Everything is changing, Stop thinking and start acting Solidarity isn’t just a word, Solidarity is a weapon May this world collapse May your heart catch fire To live, not just survive Is everyone’s desire Our city of gold is their sea to drown It makes me sick, our values our greed Equality would start if you understand No differences, things don’t work out as planned Sun, why are you still shining On this dark, cold world? You still think, There’s a chance of hope Sometimes I want to hug you And stab you in the back So no one has to see What happens in this world
