Aufstehen und Laufen

red wave

the fist to the sky
the voices in air
they are filling the city with protest
they are swinging the banner
and stand up for their rights
get they never tired to fight?

in front of the mirror, the truest friend of all
the old bitch get sorry, she is no more what she was
and she is emptying her glas
and painting her lips
in a red, red, red, red wave

red wave, the red wave so different and the same
red wave, for you we find no name
red wave, red wave so different and the same
red wave, for you we find no name

a man in his car
his spirit flies so far
he is hunting on a grey stone street
so hard are the trees, embracing him pleased
he is doing now the red, red wave

red wave, red wave so different and the same
red wave, for you we find no name, no name
red wave, red wave, so different and the same
red wave, for you we find no name

Red Wave

Hello everybody, it took a long time until we were emotionally able to record and release this song. It is dedicated to a very good friend and former band member, who unfortunately left this world much too early.

the fountain
I didn´t thought that this would be the way I see you again. 
Me blind from tears and you in a chest, 
never known parents and friends. 
I´m bleeding on since two and half weeks, 
it seems there is no end in sight. 
Now they play your song, that makes everything worse, 
because  it´s beautiful and the sound is so bright.
Look everything is perfekt. 
Even the sun shines from a sky of blue. 
God it feels nearly like celebration, only we are missing you.
I leaned in the roses, I don´t felt the thorns, 
so I lost one drop blood down the way.
But the sun will be shining, there´s a smile on each face, 
when we all meet again, one day.

This one is the last song from our EP "The Golden Mantis". We hope you like it.

The Garden

This is our first German single from the upcoming album "Amerika". Please listen and enjoy.

Here are the lyrics in English and German:

America
 
I wish you were America
then it wouldn't be so hard.
Transatlantic, overseas
I would be with you.

But you, you stand here beside me
and more than a sea lies between you and me.

I wish you were America
that is only seemingly far away.

But sooner or later
I could see the coast.
On these narrow sides I liked to snuggle up.
And I let my boat drift, and put it in the harbour.

But you, you stand here beside me and more than a sea lies between you and me.

Understand, America is almost here, the continent is getting closer,
than I have ever been to you.

Because you, you stand here beside me and more than one sea lies between you and me.


Amerika
 
Ich wollt du wärst Amerika,
dann wär es nicht so schwer.
Transatlantisch, Übersee
schon wär ich bei dir.
 
Doch du, du stehst hier neben mir
und mehr als ein Meer liegt zwischen dir und mir.
 
Ich wollt du wärst Amerika,
das ist nur scheinbar fern.
Doch früher oder später
könnte ich die Küste sehen.
An diesen schmalen Seiten schmiegt ich mich gerne an
und ließ ich mein Boot treiben, legt es im Hafen an.
 
Doch du, du stehst hier neben mir
und mehr als ein Meer liegt zwischen dir und mir.
 
Verstehe doch,
Amerika ist schon beinah da.
Der Kontinent rückt näher,
als ich dir jemals war.
 
Denn du, du stehst hier neben mir
und mehr als ein Meer liegt zwischen dir und mir.
