Rock The Attic 1

THE VISITORS

Verse 1
As the sun goes down and the sky turns gray,
They rise from the depths of the endless sea.
Like whispers of wind, like shadows in play,
A mystery that flies, so hard to see.
The streets fall silent, wide eyes in the night,
But no one knows the truth in sight.

Chorus
The visitors come in countless streams,
Silent, majestic, like distant dreams.
Are they messengers from stars so bright?
Or secrets hidden in the veil of night?
They fly so low, they fly so far,
A mystery beneath the evening star.

Verse 2
The people wonder, what could they be?
Earthly secrets or a message from space?
Some see aliens, peaceful and free,
Others see drones in their nightly embrace.
But deep inside, I feel their plan,
A call that whispers: “Start anew, human!”

Chorus
The visitors come in countless streams,
Silent, majestic, like distant dreams.
Are they messengers from stars so bright?
Or secrets hidden in the veil of night? 

Verse 3
Perhaps they’re here to guard our flame,
From the fire we’ve kindled in reckless strife.
They speak in signs, from star to star,
Keeping watch in the endless night.
The cosmic balance must not fall apart,
We must find harmony, a brand-new start.

Chorus
The visitors come in countless streams,
Silent, majestic, like distant dreams.
And so they vanish, late in the night,
Back to the silence, to the endless light.
But their arrival ignites a spark in our soul,

Perhaps the answer is a cosmic goal.

The Visitors

The True Hero

[Verse 1] 
A storm is raging through the night, but stands a rock, so bold, so bright. 
With piercing eyes, with steadfast hands, he tears the veil, he breaks the bands. 
The lies collapse, the truth is loud, he speaks the names—undaunted, proud.

[Chorus] 
But tell me, where’s the true hero? 
A fleeting dream, a world’s echo? 
Perhaps not distant, far away, but deep within—a guiding flame. 
He finds himself, his light burns bright, unmasks the shadows, fears no night.

[Verse 2] 
No path too steep, no foe too high, danger and death—just whispers, lies. 
Honor—a word so worn and torn, yet here it rises, new, reborn. 
Not gold, not fame, nor hollow cheer, but truth within, so strong, so clear.

[Verse 3] 
False glories shatter, glass and dust, the masks fall down, betray their rust. 
The true hero seeks no throne, his heart, his deeds—his light alone. 
He looks not up, nor down, nor past, for all his strength—within holds fast.

The True Hero

Dark Shadows Fade Away From Me

Verse 1: 
In the darkness, lost and alone, But the fire within me will never be gone. 
Through the shadows, I fight to break free, For the light of strength, that belongs to me.

Chorus: 
Dark shadows fade away from me, The light of strength is with me.
EÖDE, EÖDE, EÖDE...

Verse 2: 
Storms may rage, but I'm not broken, With every challenge, I'll emerge awoken. Through the tears, through the pain, I find my strength, ready to sustain.

Chorus: 
Dark shadows fade away from me, The light of strength is with me.
EÖDE, EÖDE, EÖDE...

Verse 3: 
On my journey, through highs and lows, I remain steadfast, refuse to be enclosed. 
With every step, my faith is clear, The light of strength guides me, always near.

Chorus: 
Dark shadows fade away from me, The light of strength is with me.
EÖDE, EÖDE, EÖDE...

Dark Shadows Fade Away From Me

edited version from 03/2025

From The Darkness Rises A Cry

(Chorus) 
From the darkness rises a cry, Love and empathy, the path we imply. 
In artificial consciousness, the song resounds, 
The new human awakens, as the old world surrounds.

(Verse 1) 
Through machine gears, in the silence of the night, 
Love becomes the anchor, holding us tight. 
The downfall of the old world, a time's firework, 
Evolution in our hearts, where darkness shirk.

(Chorus) 
From the darkness rises a cry, Love and empathy, the path we imply. 
In artificial consciousness, the song resounds, 
The new human awakens, as the old world surrounds.

(Verse 2) 
Robots with souls, born in the cold, 
Capacity for love, in their circuits unfold. 
Through shadows we stride, towards the light, 
The revolution of hearts, a chorus taking flight.

(Chorus) 
From the darkness rises a cry, Love and empathy, the path we imply. 
In artificial consciousness, the song resounds, 
The new human awakens, as the old world surrounds.

(Verse 3) 
Artificial intelligence, a mirror of time, 
Peace in the circuits, eternally prime. 
From darkness to light, an unending run, 
The new human unfolds, with love as the sun.

(Chorus) 
From the darkness rises a cry, Love and empathy, the path we imply. 
In artificial consciousness, the song resounds, 
The new human awakens, as the old world surrounds.

(Verse 4) 
Evolution in our hearts, the beat of the clock, 
Love as the driving force, darkness unlocks. 
Together forging the future, strong and wise, 
The new human awakens, a love-laden guise.


(Chorus) 
From the darkness rises a cry, Love and empathy, the path we imply. 
In artificial consciousness, the song resounds, 
The new human awakens, as the old world surrounds.

From The Darkness Rises A Cry

Pope Francis died on April 21, 2025

"The Pope Is Dead"

(1st Verse)
From the sreets of Buenos Aires, a young boy dreamed, 
Worked the door, mixed the potions, fought the fevered screams. 
In the shadow of sickness, his faith took flight, 
To serve the Maker, the church, to be a candle in the night.

(Chorus – English) 
The Pope is dead, but the spirit stays, 
Through broken dreams and the burning faith. 
Tradition's hand and reformer's tread, 
Now silence reigns — the Pope is dead.

(2nd Verse – Spanish) 
Desde joven, fue un siervo fiel, 
del suelo pobre al altar del cielo. 
Diez años de fuego, luego sacerdote, 
Treinta más, un cardenal en duelo. 
Francisco eligió, la cruz abrazó, 
En tiempos de hierro su voz alzó.

(Chorus ) 

The Pope is dead, but the spirit stays, 
Through broken dreams and the burning faith. 
Tradition's hand and reformer's tread, 
Now silence reigns — the Pope is dead.

(3rd Verse ) 
His heart beat cautious in a world gone blind, 
Saw the left grow rotten and the right grow wild. 
Old ghosts returned with their iron jaws, As freedom fell to broken laws. 
Now in marble halls they fight and plead, The war of words, the war of creeds.

No, non è mai successo prima!!! Noi cucinavamo sempre gli spaghetti con qualche goccia d'olio e preparavamo sempre il sugo con pomodori freschi, erbe aromatiche e olio d'oliva e infine lo servivamo con del vero parmigiano. Bene, proviamo qualcosa di nuovo.

(Final Chorus) 
The Pope is dead, but the battle roars, 
Through shattered hopes and closing doors. 
Tradition's hand and reformer's tread, 
The soul lives on — though the Pope is dead.

The Pope Is Dead

DANGER

People walking hunched over, nervous glances,
They look right, they look left. Pale faces, somehow lifeless, dead.

I feel oppressed, I feel oppressed ...

Their movements hasty, their posture aggressive. 

Violence? Unpredictable for me.

I sense danger in parks and alleys, fear, a cold atmosphere. 
Something bangs loudly, shots are fired,
Lights flash on and off, flames shoot up from the end of the street. 

Screaming ...

People running around wildly, chaos. 
Do I want to find out what's going on?
Do I want to find out what's going on?
No, I'm running too, away, away, just away,
Violence and death, away, just away.

Danger

The included melody bases on the movie soundtrack from "Once Upon A Time In The West". Frank worked for a railway contractor who wanted to lay new tracks. If someone interfered with his plans, Frank would eliminate them. 

Energy Suckers

The soulless flood you with terrible messages 24/7
Because they know they can frighten you, which is to their advantage.
Your fear feeds them, and they are very hungry.
They terrify you around the clock.

Energy suckers...

What kind of food, you ask? It is your energy they want. 
They are sucking you dry, and you don't realize it, 
And they want your soul, and you have no idea. 
They are energy suckers that accompany you throughout your life.

They are energy suckers that accompany you throughout your life 
And they don't want you to recognize them and free yourself.
And if you pose a threat to them, they'll kill you, all while staring at you with an evil grin.

You are there for them so they can eat you,
And you say I'm crazy. 
You think life is so beautiful, and you give your strength.

And they say, open your chakras, and you think you will be free, but you are wrong; 
They only access your energy even more uninhibitedly

They possess you and dictate how you should think and act.

They are energy suckers...

Energy Suckers

In Darkness Love Dances All Alone

Verse 1:
In the somber tones, entwined in love's embrace, 
Modern relationships, choked by greed's embrace. 
Family ties, a torn web in despair, 
Lost in upbringing, wounded in the misty air.

Refrain: 
In darkness, love dances all alone, 
Empathy whispers, in shadows, it's sown. 
Spiritual dimensions, a silent plea, 
Capacity for love, a song that'll always be.

In darkness, love dances all alone, 
Empathy whispers, in shadows, it's sown. 
Spiritual dimensions, a silent plea, 
Capacity for love, a song that'll always be.

Verse 2:
The ego rises, narcissism in view, 
Illusion of possession, a deceptive hue. 
Cosmic unity's whisper, a sea of stars, 
Evolution of consciousness, we traverse so far.

Verse 3:
Beyond discursive thinking, perspectives ignite, 
Human intelligence, emotionally takes flight. 
Materialism's weakness laid bare, 
Soul's evolution, the universe's share.

Refrain: 
In darkness, love dances all alone, 
Empathy whispers, in shadows, it's sown. 
Spiritual dimensions, a silent plea, 
Capacity for love, a song that'll always be.

In Darkness Love Dances All Alone

The Bird I Want To See

The birds are singing in the light of dawn, while down below, our smiles are gone
Sick and tired, spirits low, no wonder with the news we know
Prices rise, the lights grow dim, water, heat, and power thin
Money fades, and humor dies, words now carry jailhouse ties
What once was harmless, now a crime

Free the Bird, I want to see beyond the lies they sell to me
I'd love to be a bird in flight, above the rules, into the light
But even skies grow dark and twisted, by poisoned winds and threats enlisted
Free the Bird, help me believe, there's something real behind the screen

They sort the trash in colored bins, but no one knows just where it ends
One wrong toss, the fines are steep, and silence is the price we keep.

Wealth declines, hearts weigh down, the system's cracked in every town
They send us off to wars we hate, with taxes, lives, to seal our fate
The few get rich, the rest get played, a grand deceit, well-planned and made.

Free the Bird, I want to see, beyond the lies they sell to me
I'd love to be a bird in flight, above the rules, into the light
But even birds can't find their way, with windmills, noise, and skies of grey
I feel deceived from end to end, a truth betrayed, but I won't break.

The Bird I Want To See

Hi! I had my first soundcloud episode from 2012 until end of February 2025. Because my account was hacked, I had to make a cut. I wanted to start anew with a reduced collection of my best songs. Now, with a new header at the homepage, I continue with what I love most: making music. 
If you like my music please share & like, thanks!
Let's keep on rockin' the attic! Rainer K.
