[LYRICS]
All you desire is waiting behind
These castle walls
The closer you get, the further they seem
What are the odds?

Did you deserve it? Have you paid the price?
The crown awaits you

Say your prayers
Hear the choir sing your name:
Long live the mighty king,
Just be prepared to lose it all
When they don’t need you anymore

Wait at the gates while the bells chime
Hindered again
Reach through the thorns, only blue blood
Will get you in (will get you in)

Did you deserve it? Have you paid the price?
What else is left to sacrifice?

Say your prayers
Hear the choir sing your name:
Long live the mighty king,
Just be prepared to lose it all
When they don’t need you anymore

Did you deserve it? Have you paid the price?
The ruler of a doomed empire

Say your prayers
Hear the choir sing your name:
Long live the mighty king,
Just be prepared to lose it all
When they don’t need you anymore

Royal Treatment

Ecstatique (Song Instrumental)

It started out as a 2-minuted demo, which I believe I shared on a few small forums for feedback. Shortly after it got posted on Youtube as a "leaked Hooker On A Church Corner instrumental". At first, I got rather mad, but in retrospect, I think I should be grateful to whoever did that cause the instrumental got lots of attention.

Bye Bye Sanity (Song Instrumental)

I wrote and recorded this forever ago.  I think, in 2008. The harmonica at the beginning was inspired by the music from "The Fox & The Hound". There are certain small details I'd love to tweak, but, unfortunately, the original project file was lost forever when my old desktop PC died. Hopefully, someday I'll find time to redo the whole track.

Indigo Leaves

The Factory (Song Instrumental)

I wrote the first version of The Factory 13-ish years ago, but until recently, it only existed as a really dodgy demo. After repeatedly experiencing a very demoralizing sort of frustration while reading "opinions" (i.e. thinly veiled hate speech) online, I decided to channel it into finishing the track properly. Check it out if you've got a sec (or 3.5 min). Thank you! 🌈🤗❤️

[LYRICS]
Meet me in the dark
Face the one that you thought you had all figured out
You can try to show restraint
But we both know this kiss was more than just a bait

So tell me what it is you desire
Cause I won’t be asking twice
I’m not here to appease you
I am here to make you mine

(MINE) Give me all of you and take the pleasure
(MINE) Revel in the chaos of our passion
Let’s make each moment last forever
And savor every night
We can survive the worst of battles
As long as you stay by my side

Everything at once, can’t you see?
There’s no holding back when you’re with me
Oh baby I want you all to myself
Cause your love fulfills my every need

Consumed by the burning desire
To surrender to the rush
We collide, bodies shiver
I am yours and you are

(MINE) Give me all of you and take the pleasure
(MINE) Revel in the chaos of our passion
Let’s make each moment last forever
And savor every night
We can survive the worst of battles
As long as you stay by my side

[LYRICS]
Taken back to that familiar place
Caught up in the swirl of memories
I walk into a land of everlasting stillness
A garden full of weathered carvings and shapes
Marking the beginning and the end
Continues blooming with granite and marble flowers

Time and again I return to let you go once more

But I will not forget you
Even though we’re forever apart
No matter where life takes me
I wish we could go back to its start

(Singing hey ya, hey ya...)

Unaffected by the passage of time
As long as love exists, this sacred ground
Will remain a temple for the broken hearted
Where in the distant glimmer of a new dawn
You always wait to greet me with a smile
Oh, I’ve missed our long one-sided conversations

We are supposed to let go, push forward through the hurt

I will not forget you
Even though we’re forever apart
No matter where life takes me
I wish we could go back to simpler times

Before I realized that I would have
To carry on without you
Years have passed yet still sometimes
I gaze upon the sky in hopes to spot
Another trail reminding me
About the day I'll see you once again

I will not forget you
Even though we’re forever apart
No matter where life takes me
I wish we could go back to its start

(Singing hey ya, hey ya...)

Forever Apart

We’re moving slowly, hand in hand
As they watch our every step
It looks like we’re unwelcome here
But what makes you think that I care?
Cause I don’t give a damn, give a damn
(Let them stare) I’m not letting go, so beware
(Let them stare) I’m ready to fire back

The mannequins are protecting their factory
We are a danger to them
Fake shine and smiles
Oh, nothing seems to matter to me
Cause now I’ve got you

I’ll pull you closer, hold you tight
Even though they whisper that it’s wrong
Won’t stop, and as  the lightning strikes
More heads are turning, feels so right
And I’d do it again, it again
(Make them stare) They better stay out of my way
(Make them stare) I’m ready to fire back

The mannequins are protecting their factory
We are a danger to them
Fake shine and smiles
Oh, nothing seems to matter to me
Cause now I’ve got you (And it feels so right)

The mannequins are protecting their factory
We are a danger to them
Fake shine and smiles
Oh, nothing seems to matter to me
Cause now I’ve got you

Oh, yes, I know what they are thinking (thinking)
We are too human to fit in (fit in)
We breathe, we think, we feel, and they can’t change us
And we know, yeah, we know...

CHORUSx2

And it feels so right
Cause now I’ve got you
Feels so right, feels so right...

The Factory (2011 Demo)

A lonely spider spins my web of thoughts
And stars are now my only company
There’s just one thing that makes me stay awake
Another „truth“ is more then I can handle

My wounded heart is in your hands tonight
You took it with you right before you left me
My wounded heart is in your hands tonight
Will you decide to heal it or to break it?

„Goodbye“'s the word that freezes every clock
There’s just one try to fix them, only one
Our fragile „perfect” was my everything
So hurry up, our time is running out

My wounded heart is in your hands tonight
You took it with you right before you left me
My wounded heart is in your hands tonight
Will you decide to heal it or to break it?

If that’s not what you mean
Why does it hurt so much?
Why can't you understand?
Why don't you understand?
That I am the only one...

My wounded heart is in your hands tonight
You took it with you right before you left me
My wounded heart is in your hands tonight
Will you decide to heal it or to break it?

Piano Improvisation #1

I see you look across the room
Come up to me don’t fight it
Seems like I’ve found my medicine
Jump right into the flames, you’ll like it

Enjoy the neon lights
They will invade our minds

Programmed this way
Move to the beat with me
I am – I am – I am your lovely robot
Programmed this way
I’ll make you feel the sparks
I am – I am – I am your lovely robot

The tension keeps on rising in
My electronic mind
I see the answer in your eyes
We – we will be up all night

Enjoy the flashing lights
They will invade our minds

Programmed this way
Move to the beat with me
I am – I am – I am your lovely robot
Programmed this way
I’ll make you feel the sparks
I am – I am – I am your lovely robot

The system’s overloaded
Skipping beats of my mechanical heart
I feel so numb
Make me forget, push on «RESTART»

Programmed this way
Move to the beat with me
I am – I am – I am your lovely robot
Programmed this way
I’ll make you feel the sparks
I am – I am – I am your lovely robot

A Little Bit Of Faith (Instrumental)

Youtube Video

Wintersong (Sarah McLachlan Cover)

The night's darker than black
I couldn't keep myself from sneaking out
To see the awakening of the beast
But this time I've gone too far
Now you are out to get me

Nowhere to run, you're closing in
I can't think straight,
My body's filled with adrenaline
Just one misstep, and I am dead
My tender killer,
I'm not ready to give in

I can almost taste the end
I know this game too well, I never thought
That I would fall for it myself
I feel you breathing down my neck
I guess I am beyond redemption

Nowhere to run, you're closing in
I can't think straight,
My body's filled with adrenaline
Just one misstep, and I am dead
My tender killer,
I'm not ready to give in

Oh, how the tables have turned
As soon as I let my guard down, it was over – you won
Trying to resist you, I’m struggling and gasping for air
I thought I was in control, but now I am
Cornered and weak, I won’t make it out of here alive


Nowhere to run, you're closing in
I can't think straight,
My body's filled with adrenaline
Just one misstep, and I am dead
My tender killer,
I am ready to give in

Esctatique (Demo)

When everything’s slipping away right through your
fingers
You stand and stare unsure
If you should try to slow it down just for a while
Or look for something more

Don’t lose your way—
Yeah, you can make it through, no need
To be afraid—
Because you know you’re not alone
  
Whenever you are feeling down
Just have a little bit of faith
Whenever you’re feeling down, remember
That everything will be alright in the end

And even though sometimes it’s hard to see the bright side
There’s more than meets the eye
But you just have to look beyond all imperfections
It’s easy if you try

Don’t hide behind—
So many walls, you’re strong enough
To soar, to rise—
To take a flight across the sky

Whenever you are feeling down
Just have a little bit of faith
Whenever you’re feeling down, remember
That everything will be alright

And even the moon can shine brighter than the sun
Your happiness is just one step away
Forget all the doubts and wish upon a shooting star
The only thing you need’s a little faith

Whenever you are feeling down
Just have a little bit of faith
Whenever you’re feeling down, remember
That everything will be alright in the end
