LYRICS 
-----------------------------
Am I a man or a mouse?
I can never tell
Full of shame, full of doubt,
full of hope as well

Cos you told me tonight
I never put up a fight

Now I'm free
yeah, I see what I gotta to do

Every day and night
I'm gonna fight for you
Every day and night
I'm gonna fight for you

Turn the page, make a change
It's a new me
Apply the flame to the pain
It's just chemistry

I am blinded by the light
If this is wrong I don't wanna be right

Now I'm here, no fear
Gonna break through

Cause every day and night
I'm gonna fight for you
Every day and night
I'm gonna fight for you

Don't you know
I'm gonna fight for you
Yeah, don't you know
I'm gonna fight for you

Fight for you

Fight For You (feat. David Taro)

My new indie pop song "Going My Way" is about overcoming turmoils and welcoming new beginnings. Starting with a guitar hook and piano, the song turned into an international full band production. "Going my way" is about someone who is leaving a relationship that is not working, and feels stunned, and half crazy. While at the same time stepping out into the unknown, and seeking another day while trying to stay above the storm clouds. It is emotional, and yet hopeful. Thank you for being part of that project!

===== LYRICS =====

Just got home and it’s early morn'
Fighting sleep and a thunderstorm
Get my way out from traffic horns
I can’t stop thinking about you

Went inside and poured a drink
Left it there by the sink
Your final words made me almost fall
As I began to process it all

I’m going my way
Testing out my pair of wings
On heavy clouds, yeah
Looking for some other day

I’m going my way
Testing out my pair of wings
On heavy clouds, yeah
Looking for some other day

Through half closed eyes I saw your face
With all our friends, in all those places
I should feel free and not disgraced
as our time is bent and broken

I can’t think about tomorrow
Or what you said in spite
I wish that I could finally borrow
Another body tonight

I’m going my way
Testing out my pair of wings
On heavy clouds, yeah
Looking for some other day

I’m going my way
Testing out my pair of wings
On heavy clouds, yeah
Looking for some other day

Wanna scream out
Wanna shout loud
Wanna scream out
wanna shout loud
I want to regain my sanity
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Feels like I'm going my way
Feels like I'm going my way

I’m going my way
Testing my pair of wings
On heavy clouds, yeah
Looking for some other day

I’m going my way
Testing my pair of wings
On heavy clouds, yeah
Looking for some other day

Going My Way (feat. Michael Karns)

==== LYRICS ====

Speaking of evil, pride and prejudice
You feel like a victim 
is there a point that we miss?

I do not lack of power
fighting in free cover
I know that I can't take it no more
so sore!

Weight I lifted off my shoulders
but wait – I won't crawl in pain again!
Weight – I'm stronger and bolder now
No hurt, no more!

No more!

You taught how to be 
and how I should behave
Words of wisdom 
were digging my own grave

I do not lack of power
fighting in free cover
I know that I can't take it no more
so sore!

Weight I lifted off my shoulders
but wait – I won't crawl in pain again!
Weight – I'm stronger and bolder now
No hurt, no more!

No more! No more!

Weight I lifted off my shoulders
but wait – I won't crawl in pain again!
Weight – I'm stronger and bolder now
No hurt, no more!

Weight

Weight (feat. Gammafied)

"Pyromancer" is a fiery folk metal song about the conquest of a medieval fortress. Can something be more metal than fire, magic and a heavy wall of guitars?!

This song is what happens when weird ideas come to another and bring people together. The catchy melody longed for a hurdy gurdy and heavy guitars.  Jordan's power metal falsetto brought my pen and paper inspired lyrics into life. A rough demo of us two summoned Stephan and Simon, who handed in plenty of bass, mandoline and guitar takes. Ben had an idea for a violin solo I could never think of. We ended up writing and recording a metal song that may never existed, if we took ourselves too serious. We already had a videoclip in mind, but I grabbed my graphics tablet instead and drew the pyromancer with that evil grin on his face. 

Thanks for the joy you've brought to me. I hope you enjoy the song as much as we do! We wish you a happy new year - and now let the pyros go off!

==== LYRICS ====

Looking for a glimpse of fire
eyes burning with desire
When all warriors cross their blades
you're ready for the raids

Bastards climbing up the walls
They heed the final call
Archers firing into night
Call fellows to unite

This is your last turn
Let the ashes burn
Pyromancer!

Cloven hooves pervade the walls
As men fall into brawls
Ascent of fire on dried grass
Listen to that swelling brass

The brotherhood fulfills its aims
As foes burn down in flames
Ashes are all that remains
The smell of our disdain

This is your last turn
Let the ashes burn
Pyromancer!

This is your last turn
Let the ashes burn
Pyromancer!

Pyromancer

Pyromancer (feat. Jordan Hirsch)

Turning frustration into a heavy waltz. "Wrench in the works" is an alternative metal song about psychological abuse. When you feel stuck, mistreated and just can't escape your situation it's like someone threw a wrench in the works causing the machine to stop and being unable to move. Ironically, this hypnotic 6/8 beat makes you want to move. 

"Wrench in the works" is the kind of song I could have never written intentionally. The heavy 6/8 drum groove combined with a minimalistic chord progression and a catchy riff in a weird scale just happened. Topic and words came just in an instant. I am happy that Chad replaced my clean and whispery vocal sketch with heavy screams of frustration. He wrote a guitar solo and got super wild on every instrument. Hell yes, THIS is the sound of frustration with a glimpse if hope in between. We had tons of fun and I just can't thank you enough for the super cool interpretation of one of the heaviest songs I wrote.

This song is part of my album "Going My Way" which can be downloaded at Bandcamp.

==== LYRICS ======

Nothing's as it seems
Quit living your dreams
Dismantle the machines
and lose your self-esteem

Toss me and turn
Got no lessons to learn
I don't know why I am so dependent

My longings and yearns
They will never return
It's time for being insurgent

7x
I can't move on
I can barely move on

I can't move
I can't move
I don't know why I can't move!

Stay on alert
Make me over-exert
Drop your weapons, desert
You threw a wrench in the works

Rave yourself hoarse
I am strung with remorse
You make me feel inconvenient

Don't dry up my source
Gather my inner force
I want to be disobedient

CHORUS

Wrench In The Works (with Chad Lenig)

We revived 2000's nu metal and spiced it up with fresh synthesizers. Some situations in life are so worse, that here is only one question left: Where does it end? This is the title of my banging metal song about not being able to deal with your situation properly.

The complex rhyming scheme of the lyrics just happened together with the broken arpeggio. It's the first time I added a synthesizer to a metal song. Suddenly I had the strong urge to slice and destroy it and it sounded so cool, that it became the post chorus. Recording this song, we all left our comfort zones and it turned out heavier than we expected 😎🤘🏻

"Where does it end?" is part of the album "Going My Way" which is available on Bandcamp.

==== LYRICS ====

Come whatever may
In colourful skies seeing nothing but grey
Getting drawn into a huge maelstrom
Of boredom and soredom

Becoming someone I‘m not
Hiding myself, don‘t show what I got
Bursting in tears, there‘s nothing but fears
Expecting the end of my career

Where does it end?
When all hope is gone
And my friends mean nothing to me

Where does it end?
When everything‘s done
There‘s no place where I wanted to be
When does it end?

Yeah, I want to give it a fuck
Dwelling in thoughts is where I am stuck
Imaginations gaining odd dynamics
In panic, God dammit!

I think I’m gonna go nuts
Sabotaging myself and losing the guts
Bursting in tears, there‘s nothing but fears
I‘m feeling the urge to disappear

Where does it end?
When all hope is gone
And my friends mean nothing to me

Where does it end?
When everything‘s done
There‘s no place where I wanted to be
When does it end?

No relation to reality
Losing faith in humanity
I fight against insanity

Nowhere to hide
I am frozen inside
I am scared
I can‘t make it right

I want you to devastate
The nightmare I create
I want you to get it straight
I‘m still afraid

NO! NO! NO!
CAN‘T LET GO!

Where does it end?
When all hope is gone
And my friends mean nothing to me

Where does it end?
When everything‘s done
There‘s no place where I wanted to be
When does it end?

Where does it end? (feat. David Taro)
