CHAOS

Can't stop the rain falling from the sky
Can't stop the wind blowing through the leaves
Can't stop the leaves falling from the trees
Can't stop my bones from turning into dust

I just must trust
My time on Earth
Added up to something
My time on Earth
Added up to something

All things that come
They too must pass
And with the blinking of an eye
The time, it comes, for them to die

So, like the famous butterfly,
Did my flutterings alter some thing?
Will I leave an echo or a trace
On departing from this Place?

What was my life?
What was it for?

I made some noise
I made some sounds
But when I cease to be around
The air will still itself once more

I caused some ripples as I splashed
But when I am no more, alas
The water will be calm just as before

Can't stop the rain falling from the sky
Can't stop the leaves falling from the trees
Can't stop the natural flow of energy...

Chaos

So Tired!

BEAST!

I've been sick
And I've been tired
Stuck inside, uninspired
Plans on ice, projects on hold
Now it's time, time to be bold
Ready to adjust, shake off all that dust
The urge to emerge from
The torpor of the Wintertime Blues
Time to explore and time to enthuse
Anticipating
Eager, awaiting
The colours of Spring
And the hope they'll bring
The joy and the warmth and the glow of the Sun
The process has begun
Escape from...
The Wintertime Blues
Escape from...
The Wintertime Blues

I got me rollin'
Like a railroad train
I got momentum
I got energy

I got me rollin'
Like a railroad train
I got momentum
I got energy
Don't try and stop me
I'm steamin' ahead
Stay out my way
'Cos I've places to get

Places to get
Places to get

I got the drive
I got commitment too
And there's so much work out there for me to do

Got me rockin'
Got me rollin', got me
Rock 'n' rollin'

Got me rockin'
Got me rollin', got me
Rock 'n' rollin'
I got me rollin'
Like a railroad train
I got momentum
I got energy
Don't try and stop me
I'm steamin' ahead
Stay out my way
'Cos I've places to get

Got me rockin'
Got me rollin', got me
Rock 'n' rollin'

I got me rollin'
Like a railroad train
I got momentum
I got energy
Don't try and stop me
I'm steamin' ahead
Stay out my way
'Cos I've places to get

Places to get
Places to get

I got the drive
I got commitment too
And there's so much work out there for me to do

Got me rockin'
Got me rollin', got me
Rock 'n' rollin'

No Messin'

I'm dreaming and in my dream I'm dreaming of my future from the past
Someone's waiting for me
Someone's waiting for me
Someone's waiting for me

Ich fahre mit der U-Bahn
Die U-Bahn fährt so schnell
Kein Anhalten auf dem Weg
Jeder Halte vergeht vorbei
Ich kann die Namen nicht ganz sehen
Ich weiß nicht wo ich bin
Ich habe mich verloren und kann nichts kontrollieren

Was ist mein wahres Endziel?
Was werde ich dort sehen?
Was werde ich dort machen?
Woher weiß ich sicher, ob ich schon da bin?

Ich bin im Untergrund gefangen
Ich ersticke mich
Ich muss einen Fluchtweg finden
Ich brauche Sauerstoff

I should have travelled overground
And stopped to smell the roses
Should have trusted more in me
And just enjoyed the journey

You were waiting for me
You were waiting for me
You were waiting for me

Ich kann Nichts kontrollieren (RIP Florian Schneider)

Mind War
It's a Mind War
Une guerre de l'esprit, 
Le Monsieur a déclaré que nous sommes confrontés à une guerre de l'esprit, 
Une guerre de l'esprit, une guerre de l'esprit
Alors, nous devons exercer nos esprits puissants
In war, the crucial things to know: 
What you believe and must achieve
And who's your friend and who's your foe
Voulez-vous rester au lit, avec le babouin poilu
Dans la maison grande et blanche?
Quel problème cela déclenche
Or are you gonna be best buddies with the big bad bully bear
Who bares his breast and beats his chest
And truly believes that East trumps West?
So, are you gonna flounder round in this pit of shit
Or will you take some solid steps so we can start to tackle it?
Will you carry on building your political elite
Or will you start to listen to the people on the street
No need to look too far - for faithful friends
Fair-minded folk from every region of our mighty continents
With energy and bravery, decency, commitment
Nous ne soutenons pas votre grand projet
Une autre union continentale, un ensemble de vos règles standard
We have had enough instruction from your idiot politicians
We've enough of our own, merci
We will have to agree to disagree
And follow our own paths respectfully
It's a mind war
Mind War
Une guerre de l'esprit
To fight a Mind War, you need an open mind
You'll need to find the kind of friends
Who'll stand behind you
Make a clear plan
Then do what you can
Keep your ear to the ground
Keep looking round
And tailor you approach
To what's going down
It's a mind war
Mind War
Une guerre de l'esprit
Nous sommes toujours vos amis fidèles
Toujours alliés avec nos propres identités
Nous sommes vos cousins libéraux, 
Nous sommes vos frères et vos sœurs, vos égaux, 
Nous devons coopérer pour neutraliser les poisons que nous allons rencontrer
chimiques, biologiques, idéologiques
Nous devons apprendre votre langue et vous devez aussi respecter la notre, comme les autres
Different cultures and different names
Not the same but common aims
Stop the squabbling and political games
Collaborate not federate
It's a mind war
Mind War
Une guerre de l'esprit
Hook:
To fight a Mind War, you need an open mind
You'll need to find the kind of friends
Who'll stand behind you
Make a clear plan
Then do what you can
Keep your ear to the ground
Keep looking round
And tailor you approach
To what's going down
It's a mind war, Mind War
Une guerre de l'esprit

Une guerre de l'esprit

I was raised in this world by God-fearing folk
In a harsh and unforgiving land
I did what I had to just to survive
And yes, I'll admit I'm a sinner

I took you for my wife, to have and to hold
And we swore to each other in the House of the Lord
To be true to one another 'til parted by death
And I knew even then we were sinners

And I worked and I toiled to carve for us a life
In this stone-hard world where we live
And sure, I transgressed, but I did it for us
I never would have guessed you'd betray my trust

You allowed yourself to be stolen by another man
You twisted the knife then you ran and you ran
Though I'm broken and bleeding I'm not one to forgive
And yes, I'm truly a sinner!

I'll survive long enough just to hunt you down
And I'll take him out in front of your eyes
Then you'll realise that breaking your vows
Is the gravest of sins for a sinner.

And I'll head off to the desert with my Bible and my gun
And I'll make my peace with Jesus
I'll join all the souls who strayed from the path
And you'll be all alone with all the sinners

You'll be all alone in a world of sinners...

Sinners

Die Schallarmee (Don't Trust the Machines!)

Unsere ganze Welt jetzt ist bedroht
Die Schallarmee ist hier
Wir sind die Sonickrieger
Wir machen uns viel lautes Lärm

Die Maschinen schreiten immer vorwärts
Wir sind gegen ihren Marsch
Wir stehen fest dagegen
Das dürfen wir nicht scheitern

Bitte traue den Maschinen nicht
Don't trust the machines

Technologie muss uns befreien
Wir werden nicht versklavt
Wir sind die Sonickrieger
Wir schreien laut und schrill
Wir sehen die Roboterbedrohung
Wir vermeiden ihr Trampeln

Bitte traue den Maschinen nicht
Don't trust the machines

Was ist den los?
Was ist das Problem?
Kannst du die Gefahr nicht sehen?
Ich möchte nicht deaktivieren,
Wenn Sie mein Passwort nicht lesen
Ich will wirklich keine Blindheit, 
Wenn Feinde das Licht ausschalten

Wir müssen uns bereit sein
Wir müssen präparieren
Wir sammeln immer unsere Kraft
Wir Menschen müssen stark sein

Die Schallarmee ist hier
Wir sind die Sonickrieger
Wir machen uns viel lautes Lärm
Wir schreien laut und schrill
Wir vertrauen den Maschinen nicht
Bitte traue den Maschinen nicht
Don't trust the machines!

The Sonic Army

Our whole world now is threatened
The sonic army is here
We are the sonic warriors
We make a lot of loud noise

The machines are always moving forward
We are against their march
We stand firmly against it
We mustn't fail that

Please do not trust the machines
Do not trust the machines

Technology has to set us free
We are not enslaved
We are the sonic warriors
We scream loud and shrill
We see the robot threat
We avoid their trampling

Please do not trust the machines
Do not trust the machines

What's the matter?
What is the problem?
Can't you see the danger
I don't want to deactivate
If you don't read my password
I really don't want blindness
When enemies turn off the lights

We have to be ready
We have to prepare
We always collect our strength
We humans have to be strong

The sonic army is here
We are the sonic warriors
We make a lot of loud noise
We scream loud and shrill
Please don't trust the machines
Don't trust the machines!
