The song revolve around the theme of honesty versus deception. It emphasizes the value of being truthful, despite the challenges it may bring, and contrasts it with the fragility of lies.

Keine Masken

(Intro)
I’m bleeding for you… crawling through the dark!

(Verse 1)
Heart torn apart, your ghost in my veins, Lurked in the dusk, chasing your flame. Words cut like knives, needed you near, Your soul’s the drug fueling my fear!

(Chorus)
You’re my venom, my endless pain,
Crushed my spirit, left me in chains!
Screaming through the void, you’re gone like rain, Crawling through the dark, I’ll break the strain!

(Verse 2)
Plans turned to dust, you faded away,
Waited in gloom, night stole the day.
Your shadow sparked fire, but it burned to ash, Chained to your loss, I’m ready to crash!

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Saw you move on, heart snapped in two, That snake you chose, he broke you too! Fought to be close, you locked me out, Now I’m raging, screaming loud! CRASH! BURN IT DOWN!

(Verse 3)
Trapped in a cage, love’s a fist to my chest, Her lies pile high, I’m done with the rest. Need a broken soul, who knows my fight, It’s you, your spark, still haunts my night!

(Chorus)

(Outro)
I’m the shattered, the fury, the flame,
Crawling through the dark, I’ll rewrite the game! CRAWL! THROUGH! THE DARK!

Battling Shadows

[Verse 1]
I lie beneath a sky too vast to hold,
A flicker in the dark, or so I'm told.
But every cell inside of me
Was forged in stars, in gravity,
I am the cosmos breathing free.

[Chorus]
So I scream to the sky, not for myself,
But for the ones still hiding on dusty shelves.
For empty plates and stolen lands,
For broken dreams in calloused hands.
Give every soul a place to shine,
No matter color, love, or line.
Let no one beg beneath these stars,
We are the universe, not just its scars.

[Verse 2]
A shooting star, a whispered vow,
Let every child eat well somehow.
No chains on hearts, no flags on love,
Just laughter echoing above.
I’m grateful for the peace I’ve found,
But it’s not peace if it ain’t all around.

Clouds may cover stars at times,
But hope burns bright behind the lines.
I hold this world in fragile trust,
Built on the bones of love and dust,
And wish for all to rise from rust.

[Chorus]
So I scream to the sky, not for myself,
But for the ones who never had help.
For aching backs and silence deep,
For those who cry themselves to sleep.
Give them fires that warm, not burn,
A love that stays, a safe return.
Let every wall come down in peace,
Let all the suffering finally cease.

[Breakdown]
End the hunger.
End the hate.
This is our time…
To elevate.

[Chorus]
So I scream to the sky, not for myself,
But for the ones who never had help.
For aching backs and silence deep,
For those who cry themselves to sleep.
Give them fires that warm, not burn,
A love that stays, a safe return.
Let every wall come down in peace,
Let all the suffering finally cease.

[Bridge]
Let hearts be free, no matter the name.
Let love bloom wild, without guilt or shame.
No god would curse what was born from light
We are all stardust, born to ignite.

Stardust

[Intro:]
Saw it in your eyes—before the blade came down.
The lies you stitched still bleed, still drown.
I’ve met the Devil...
He’s kinder than you.

[Verse 1:]
Brace for the blow—it’s closing fast.
Truth cuts deeper than your past.
I carve the names in scars you left—
Your throne’s a tomb, built out of theft.
Your mask is cracked, truth bleeding through.
You buried guilt like it wouldn’t bloom.
You're the frost in every vein.
Now the silence screams your name.

[Pre-Chorus:]
Your fire’s out—just smoke and shame.
I won’t bleed for you again.
Break

[Chorus:]
I SEE THROUGH YOU—YOUR WORDS ALL TWIST!
MORE EVIL THAN GOOD—MY LIFE’S A FIST!
DEVIL’S AT YOUR DOOR—CHOKE ON WHAT YOU WROTE!

[Post-Chorus:]
Choke on it—swallow the flame!
Drown in truth—you forged the blame!
Storm is rising—your crown won’t last!
Truth is metal—and breaks like glass!

[Verse 2:]
You spit your venom, circle lies—
I wear my wounds like armor ties.
You cut deep, but I never dropped—
You cut deep, and I rose up.
I’m what you fear—unbowed, unbent.
Gold turns black—your testament.
Truth’s a blade and I’m its edge.
Say my name... and taste regret.

[Pre-Chorus:]
You said I’d break—but here I stand.
This rage was forged in your own hands.
Break

[Chorus:]
I SEE THROUGH YOU—YOUR LIES ALL BURN!
MORE EVIL THAN GOOD—I’VE EARNED MY TURN!
DEVIL’S GOT YOU NOW—CHOKE IN ENDLESS NIGHT!

[Post-Chorus:]
Burn in pride—your throne’s a shell!
Drown in rust—you built this hell!
False king falls—no one kneels!
Truth don’t beg, it breaks and heals!

[Bridge:]
You swore I’d fail—you watched me bleed.
Now I’m thunder—cracking teeth.
You laughed me down—now hear me rise.
I’m the storm behind your lies.
RISE!

[Final Chorus:]
I SEE THROUGH YOU—YOUR LIES STILL TWIST!
MORE EVIL THAN GOOD—MY FURY PERSISTS!
DEVIL’S GOT YOUR THROAT—YOUR CROWN’S CORRUPT!
CHOKE ON FLAME—WHILE I RISE FROM DUST!
NEVER FORGIVE! NEVER!

[Post-Chorus:]
Choke on pride—truth won't die.
Rage you gave—I wear like light.
Watch me rise—fear me now.
I am the reckoning—you allowed.

[Outro:]
I’ve seen your worst.
I’m still here.
That’s what scares you most.

Ashes and Thrones

Chasing Shadows

“They strip the streets of sound, then call it safety.”

They draw the lines and call it order, stamp the margins “safe,”
Erasing names from yesterday to forge a blank-walled place.
Households whisper histories they learned by hearth and hand,
Now algorithms prune the orchards, cut the roots from land.

When voices dress in armor, they become the crime —
Silence legislated, patience sold as crime.

We will shout the archive back, we will cobble every page,
Light the rooms they shuttered up, call the lost names from the cage.
You cannot grid our memory, you cannot mute the song —
We raise our hands, we raise our voices — we will right what you made wrong.

You weaponize a whisper, call dissent a threat,
Paper choked with fines, the square infected with regret.
They sell a tidy future wrapped in scripted, glossy lies,
While the battered corners of the map still keep their histories alive.

“It’s not interference — it’s protection,” they announce from glass towers—
But protection is a ledger that prices out the poor and the powerless.

If freedom is a language, then our mouths must be the proof.
If truth is a ledger, then our hands will write the truth.

We will thread the lost words into banners, stitch them into roofs.

NO FINE CAN BUY A NAME
NO LAW CAN SEAL A VOICE
WE’LL SPEAK IN STORM AND SHADOW
WE’LL MAKE THE SILENCE NOISE

We do not call for war — only for speech to breathe,
For neighborhoods to keep their stories, for children to believe.

We will shout the archive back, we will cobble every page,
Light the rooms they shuttered up, call the lost names from the cage.
You cannot grid our memory, you cannot mute the song —
We raise our hands, we raise our voices — we will right what you made wrong.

They can fine the platforms, silence feeds the machine —
But the archive lives in mouths, in hands, in streets between.
So speak. Record. Repeat. Resist the paper tomb.
We will fill the ledger with the names you tried to lose.
