Shadow On The Wall (by TAEKKRA) ------------------------------------------------- Why do we care so much about What lies beyond our borders? Seeking truth beyond the fact These questions let us become marauders What do we gain from all the pain? That we inflict upon ourselves Night falls on all of us To that there’s no doubt So, why all the fuzz? Can you tell me why? If not, why should I answer to you? Here is a thought that I want you to try: God might be speaking to me and not you! Why should I answer to anyone? Take orders from you or your father or son? Why comply with inferior rules Made up by all you superior fools? Is it really worth all the cries And all tears shed in the life of a mother While she has to bare watching her child Being taken away in the name of the father How can that ever suffice? Fuck all the holy men on this earth How can they ever justify all their lies? That made fear rock the cradle from the moment of our birth Clearly they ‘miss-framed’ the picture An epic fail to see the point meant to capture In life there’s truth to be found And time is running out, so make it count! Obviously some feel the desire To keep on pouring oil into the fire, They claim the flame is a light that saves But all they see are the shadows on the walls of their caves Liars, cowards, deceivers A shadow on the wall cannot tell you who you are Hired, backward-believers Shadows on the wall that is all they fucking are Why is it hard to accept? That we are unable to change our past The future, however, has yet to be written, Choose ink over blood, and peace might last How will we ever survive? Fuck all you holy men on this earth! You are the ones who should beg to be forgiven Letting fear rock the cradle from the moment of our birth Can you tell me why? If not, why should I answer to you? Here is a thought I want you to try: God might be speaking to me and not you! Why should I answer to anyone? Take orders from you or your father or son? You have never belonged to the wise or the brave You’re just fools chasing shadows on the walls of your grave Liars, cowards, deceivers A shadow on the wall cannot tell you who you are Hired, backward-believers A shadow on the wall is what they are A shadow on the wall is all they will ever be A shadow on the wall to bang your head against! A shadow on the wall that is all they fucking are!

Have 'Em All 07:47
Have 'Em All (by TAEKKRA) ------------------------------------- Why are we wasting time? In the end we all will die alone! Why are you waiting? I am here right now to take you home! Do you only see the shell? Is that all you want to see? Please stop tearing apart my reality! Is it our pride (that) makes us wait so long To state our choices ‘cuz someone else might come along? Soon I will be gone for good if you cannot make up your mind! And All you said I’ve understood, but all I see is that you‘re blind! Why do I care for you anyway?! What’s it about you that makes me stay?! What’s it you have others have not?! Why can’t I stop? I can have ‘em all, you said to me but what I had in mind was you! If I can have ‘em all just like you said, why then would I lie to you?! I can have ‘em all at least that’s what you said to me! If I could have all that I want Why are you the only one who means something to me? Have you considered this? There might be no one at all! For you, I am the only man to resist the siren call! But then I also have my pride, you will never see me crawl! And for this truth I never lied, much rather I will fall! Why do I care for you anyway?! What’s it about you that makes me stay?! What’s it you have others have not?! Why can’t I stop? What’s it I see in you anyway?! Why can I not look the other way?! What’s it you have others have not?! stop! I can have ‘em all, you said to me but what I had in mind was you! If I can have ‘em all just like you said, why then would I lie to you?! I can have ‘em all at least that’s what you said to me! If I could have all that I want Why are you the only one who means something to me? (repeat) Where is your love now? Show me your love now!

Vom Wind Verweht (by TAEKKRA) --------------------------------------------- Der Schmerz steckt tief in meinen Gliedern und erloschen ist der Glanz von meinen Federn Ich habe mir willig die Flügel gestutzt und mir dabei die Seele kräftig verschmutzt Doch jetzt steh ich fernab des Lichts im Schatten Und da kann ich sie sehen, diese Ratten, wie sie kriechen und kauern im Dunkeln ihrer Mauern aus Wohlstand, wo sie lauern auf ihre Beute, diese Meute von Kindern gutbetuchter Leute mit Träumen von ‘nem rundum-sorgenlos Leben und diesem Glanz sind sie voll und ganz erlegen, und sie nehmen beim Kauf in Kauf die Diktatur des Kapitals denn „die Freiheit gibt es doch umsonst?!“ Du musst nur willig und rückratlos parieren und „wir sind das Volk“ schreien und mit marschieren! „Ist doch egal wen der Volkszorn jetzt trifft… werden schon die Richtigen sein… man kann die eh nicht auseinanderhalten… bei all den Farben… und all den Bärten … HA! …die sollen sich lieber mal waschen… und sich was schämen… und obendrein…Man wird ja wohl noch… und überhaupt… es ist mal wieder an der Zeit … für den gesunden Menschenverstand…“ sagte er, worauf Gott verschwand das sagen sie alle seit Beginn unserer Zeit und Gott ward nie wieder gesehen… aber Du und ich, und die Gewalt der Natur unsere Zeit ist angebrochen sie unterstellen uns, die zu sein die den Wind sähen doch wir ernten Sturm, während sie nur im Kreis gehen Du und ich, und die Kraft der Natur, ist in unseren Herzen angebrochen! unser Handeln mag in die Geschichte eingehen doch unsere Asche, die wird der Wind verwehen tief im Schatten liegt noch tiefer verborgen fern ab des Glanzes und noch ferner aller Sorgen der Verstand ist so Gier zerfressen die Gedanken sind frei, aber ultra-orthodox besessen doch wohl merk ich den Fall: ohrenbetäubender Lärm überall, in meiner Seele, so unermüdlich lacht das ÜBER- und schreit das ICH wie am Spieß „es zerreißt mich!“ die Freude der Anderen wird zu meinem Verließ in das ich mich immer wieder gern sperren lasse obwohl ich es hasse, obwohl ich sie hasse die mit dem Finger angeblich am Puls der Zeit sind die mit aller Macht ihrer Verfügung dazu bereit sind jeden Anflug von Menschlichkeit zu unterdrücken obgleich sie alle Möglichkeit hätten sich ganz weit vorne mit einzubringen wenn es darum geht die Ketten der Sklaverei zu sprengen zu wandeln vom Angeklagten zum Kläger doch das ist ganz und gar nicht im Sinne der Anleger die kriegen den Hals schon lange nicht mehr voll und wir lassen uns blenden und schreien „JAWOLL!“ denn wir wollen sein wie sie, mitten drin und nicht am Rand, und darum stecken wir den Kopf in den Sand und darum stecken wir den Kopf ganz tief in den Sand aber Du und ich und die Gewalt der Natur unsere Zeit ist angebrochen sie unterstellen uns, die zu sein die den Wind sähen, dabei sind es Ihre Fahnen, die sich nach dem Wind drehen Du und ich, wir sind ein Teil der Natur die uns ermahnt in Gestalt einer Uhr die tickt und tickt und uns am Ende doch alle fickt der Verfall ist unaufhaltsam nur Du und ich, und die Gewalt dieser Welt im Hier und jetzt! Haben wir das Denken eingestellt? obwohl das Rad der Gezeiten sich immer schneller dreht ist es doch zum Handeln noch lange nicht zu spät denn Du und ich, wir sind ein Teil dieser Welt Du und ich, wir können das schaffen, auch ohne Geld lass uns leben, und der Wind wird sich drehen und aus dem Geist der Vernunft wird unsere Zukunft entstehen aber Du und ich, und die Gewalt der Natur unsere Zeit ist angebrochen Sie unterstellen uns, die zu sein die den Wind sähen Doch wir ernten Sturm während sie nur im Kreis gehen Du und ich, und die Kraft der Natur, ist in unseren Herzen angebrochen, unser Handeln mag in die Geschichte eingehen doch unsere Asche, die wird der Wind verwehen denn Du und ich sind die Gewalt der Natur unsere Zeit ist angebrochen, obwohl der Sturm unserer Liebe uns trägt ob wir richtig stehen, sehen wir wenn das Licht angeht sicherlich, in diesen Zeiten des Aufruhrs ist so manches Herz zerbrochen unser Handeln mag in die Geschichte eingehen doch unsere Asche, die wird der Wind verwehen

Just For The Record (by TAEKKRA) ------------------------------------------------ You think, because you speak You can expect of me to understand Your thoughts, all of your words They all are telling me just where I stand But I could care less about your tolerance Before I sell out on myself I’ll rather walk alone Before I sell out I will walk alone And you can keep on fucking someone else But we will see who's smiling in the end And just for the record ... Fuck you! You live, and then you die, I will not cry when you are gone Your love, was a fucking lie Hard feelings made me write this song You think, you can get away with all the shit you pulled on me That you can simply walk away like that Well, that's where you are wrong And nothing's ever gonna change the fact you're wrong And you will never-ever fuck me up again And we will see who's smiling in the end And just for the record ...Fuck you! To all the people who suffered betrayal All the ones left out in the rain This song is your song What does not kill you makes you strong and All those people who ever hurt you All those lovers who sold you a lie All those cowards who ever betrayed you All of the above can fuck off and die! These lines and all these words come from my heart, I don't know why I hate your guts, you make me sick and that is no lie And now that I am far beyond the reach of your control I will start to live my life again Far away from you And just for the record ... Fuck you!

Pitch [Raven] Black (by TAEKKRA) ---------------------------------------------- Pitch[Raven]Black, white scars on their banners Men who believe they can decide what matters To the rest of us all, because they heard a call All those fundamentalists: FUCK ‘EM ALL!!! Pitch[Raven]Black, all men waving banners What makes you think you can decide what matters To the rest of us all? because you heard a call? All you fundamentalists: FUCK YOU ALL!!! Fuck’em! All the fundamentalists Fuck’em! All those cunning bastards Fuck’em all, those motherfuckers! And all the people in the world, who still believe that Life after death is a reason to hate That what you do not understand, so you go on to create Holy reasons, that reassure Justifying to take what is not yours First step: Rough up the order Use the strength inside you as a stinger Tear a hole in this blindfold of fear Created to scare you enough to not care Step 2: cross the border! Break through the bounds they installed to control ya Final step: Unleash your thoughts Be free of the spell of their reckless Gods Fuck the government, Fuck all those assholes They are just a bunch of scarecrows Fuck their church and all of their priests All of them together form this beast That has come to destroy the ground beneath our feet Come to steel our dreams and put us to sleep From which we should never-ever awake again So let us fight them while we still can!!! All of us together Let us fight them while we still can So take the first step and Rough up their order Use your strength inside you as a stinger Tear a hole in this blindfold of fear Created to scare you enough to not care Step 2: cross every border Break through the bounds they installed to control ya Final step: Unleash your thoughts And be free of the spell of their reckless Gods Cuz Pitch[Raven]Black are the souls of men who kill for their call There’s no turning back, all that remains to say to them is Fuck’em all! Pitch[Raven]Black are the souls of men who kill for their call never turn your back on your freedom to say to them: FUCK YOU ALL !!! Freedom is to say ‘FUCK YOU ALL’

Aera 07:17
Aera (by TAEKKRA) -------------------------- Here comes the new age Soon this reign of ignorance must come to an end now more than ever As soon as we all shall recognize ourselves in the eyes of our brother We all must free ourselves from ancestral hate now more than ever So that the circle of violence will finally break now and forever Here comes a new age for the new rage Here comes a new age, this is our age Here comes the new age No one is there watching out for us from above not more than ever Still they proclaim their paradise by choosing hate over love, how clever We all must learn to forgive in order to rise beyond any measure We must remember to recognize ourselves in the eyes of the future So here comes a new age for the new rage Here comes a new age, this is our age Here comes the new age Their will to separate us will finally fail ‘cuz we belong together And all their walls will crumble and fall ‘cuz we were meant to be together Their will to dominate us will finally break ‘cuz we are stronger together That’s who we are and why we are ‘cuz we were meant to be together Their will to separate us will finally fail ‘cuz we belong together And all their walls will crumble and fall ‘cuz we were meant to be together Their will to dominate us will finally break ‘cuz we are stronger together That’s who we are and why we are we were not meant to live forever So here comes a new age for the new rage This is who we are right now Here comes a new age, this is our age Here comes the new age (repeat) So, show me you’re alive by raising your hands in the air Show you’re alive right now Are you alive? Then raise your hands in the air! If you are alive right now this is your age
