LYRICS:

this time you'll fall for me / this time I'll make you see / we're corrupted on the whole, but this time I'm in control // this is how it all begins / the ultimate everything // we're going to commit the perfect crime / nobody's gonna see through / we're going to commit the perfect crime / but baby I can't do it without you // this time I lead the way / this time you're gonna stay / this time I won't look back / let's roll, commence attack // hell no I won't give in / watch out, I'm going in // we're going to commit the perfect crime / I saw it by the hole that's in your head / we're going to commit the perfect crime / 'cause baby we're about to wake the dead // this time you'll hear my call / this time I'll have it all / this time I don't give shit / 'cause baby I'm on top of it // no way I'm gonna fail / this ain't the ending of my tale / I shall prevail / the future's mine / and you'll be my concubine // we're going to commit the perfect crime / nobody's gonna see through / we're going to commit the perfect crime / but baby I can't do it without you // the perfect crime / the perfect crime / the perfect crime

Lyrics:

ain't no return, we'll never learn
we have had it all coming
so the story ends, with blood on our hands
cosmic reaper is coming

always find a way to dismiss what they say
in case it threatens our comfort
we deny the truth, sacrifice our youth
cosmic reaper is coming

but don't mind, never mind
don't mind, never mind
don't mind, never mind
screw it up
screw it up big time

I see the grim skies
I hear the creatures' cries
I know it's all wrong
I hope it won't take long

final act of the Anthropocene
sickest shit you've ever seen
we perverted life and became a disease
our only purpose to please ...

... ourselves, no matter what
comes around, it goes around
our deeds will bring us down down
we burn our ship until we drown

|: take my heart and blur my mind
rape my feelings one more time
wash my brain and take control
wreck this planet on the whole :|

I've seen beyond the lies
I feel the creatures' cries
I know it's all wrong
I hope it won't take long

we cannot yet imagine it
the horrors we are conjuring
we'll never learn, we’ll never turn
cosmic reaper is coming

Cosmic Reaper

Destruction of Mars

LYRICS:

shine here on me, show me your back
watch for the dog, cause he might attack
akoasm get off, leave me alone

do what you want, but don't ask me why, 
let that bitter world shine
poisoned smoke, will make us fly,
our inflamed minds so free

I won't ask you, for what's up your mind
your riots are sacred and even unkind
do it like that, I won't pass you by

do what you want, don't ask me why 
let that bitter world shine
all our dreams, will make us die, 
don't ever touch the stars
 
the shape in my eyes from the darkest side
it now becomes real
sleepwalking man in the door
with no mind, with no face

do what you want, don't ask me why
let that bitter world shine
all your dreams, will make us die, 
don't ever touch the stars

Shine

Eventually, time for a new song! This piece is about breaking free - from whatever disturbs your soul. Enjoy :)

LYRICS:

still we're here, and we're not done
waiting for the final song
'cause what we need, we never know
losing ourselves, for the show

losing all for the show
losing all for the show
losing all for the show
losing all
 
and still you're here, waiting for me
until I set the demons free
the ones that gatter all around
the ones that drag you to the ground

and I can't wait no more
and I can't wait
and I can't wait no more
and I can't wait no more

because we fear all that's unknown
we never spend our time alone
feeling empty, bored and weak
though all the world lies at our feet

all the world at our feet
all the world at our feet
all the world at our feet
all the world

I'm leaving here, I'm moving on
we're all alone but we're all one
the one that turns the world around
the one that drags you to the ground

and I can't wait no more
and I can't wait
and I can't wait no more
and I can't wait no more

I need to get free, get free
I need to get loose, get loose
I need to get free, get free
I need to get free yeah

I need to get free, get free
I need to get loose, get loose
I need to get free, get free
I need to get free from it all

Get Free

A cover version of Lee Hazlewood's beautiful piece "Your Sweet Love".

LYRICS:

Stranger's arms reach out to me               
Cause they know I'm so lonely            
Then my mind goes back to you 
And your sweet love sees me through
Your sweet love sees me through

Stranger's eyes see through me 
They know I need company
Then I stop and think of you 
And your sweet love sees me through
Your sweet love sees me through

Strangers take my loneliness 
Tell me that they understand
I’m tempted then I think of you 
And your sweet love sees me through
Your sweet love sees me through

Your Sweet Love [Lee Hazlewood cover]

Claus Trophobia - Contact [demo]

A sonic ritual performed by Chris Ego on guitar(frontman of the band Broken Ego) and Claus Trophobia on bongos and vocals.

Of Trinity (feat. Chris Ego)

take me to the party
bring me back to life
recharge my heart one more time
better do it right
don't need no surrogates (we want the real thing now)
no way I'm gonna wait (we want it all right now)

bring me back to life
take me to the party
bring me back to life
take me to the party

take me to your hidden leaders
and let us kick some ass
we are the shit consumers
we never had no class
sick of your zombie screens (we want the real thing now)
I wanna live my dreams (we want it all right now)

bring me back to life
take me to the party
bring me back to life
take me to the party

Take me to the Party

Lyrics: 

wake up, wake up
wake up, wake up
drifting around for too long, wake up, wake up 
slumbered it all away, wake up, wake up 
pour your heart out
pour your heart out
pour your heart out

the only way the light will show
is clear your mind and take things slow
and wide awake, you'll understand
we’re makers of our wonderland

wake up, wake up
wake up, wake up
perished in aftermath, wake up, wake up 
recover, return to the path, wake up, wake up 
pour your heart out
pour your heart out
pour your heart out

the only way the light will show
is feel your breath and let it flow
and wide awake, you'll maybe see 
the truth within infinity

kneel on dirty ground
vultures all around
reach for what you've found
transcendence in sound

the only way your heart will grow
is cut the crap and let them go
and all alone you’ll maybe see 
what true love is
and come with me

Wake Up

Audience recording live at the Viper Room Vienna on 2018-10-16 during our support show for Farflung (US)

Lyrics:
and there she walks
she's going down
and as she walks
she's spun and gone
this is the underground
creepy and hollow sound
this is the underground
dark hussies all around

all that she sees
negates your truth
and as she speaks
her lips don't move
this is the underground
creepy and hollow sound
this is the underground
dark hussies all around

dizzy haze under the moon
don't fear pain, don't fear doom
a sweet kiss under the moon
the horizontal dance comes soon

I never wanted to be real - no love, no love
all I want is just to feel - no love, no love
to feel those hussies around me - no love, no love
to have my weekly double spree - no love, no love

no love

No Love [live at The Viper Room]

From deep space atmospheres to earth-shaking rock grooves, Claus Trophobia continues to push sonic frontiers. With his signature blend of solid rock, hypnotic rhythms, and retro-futuristic soundscapes, Claus Trophobia launched his solo journey in 2017 with No Love, diving into experimental territories. But it was Space Rock Voodoo that truly cemented his sound – where cosmic energy meets raw, primal force.

Coming spring 2025, Contact takes Claus Trophobia’s sound to raw new heights – elegiac, melodic, but as dirty and unrelenting as ever:

Gritty, overdriven guitars slash through pounding, old-school rock drums, laced with mellotron, theremin, and space-echoed psychedelia. A trip through a retro-futuristic dystopia, Contact swings between bittersweet hope and cold cynicism, hitting hard both sonically and emotionally.

First single Cosmic Reaper drops March 1, 2025 – a haunting anthem on humanity’s self-inflicted doom. Brace yourself.
