(Verse 1)
He rode with diamonds in his watch
Silk-lined boots and silver clutch
The crowd all gasped, his smile was wide
But death don’t check the VIP-line

(Verse 2)
A buzzing sound, a single sting
No time to run, no time for kings
One breath gone wrong, no guards to send
And just like that — it’s sudden end

(Chorus)
No crown in the grave, no gold in the dirt
No deal you can make when your lungs start to hurt
No title, no jet, no private parade
Just ashes and echoes where your glory once stayed

(Instrumental-Part)

(Verse 3)
He built an empire tall and proud
But couldn’t buy the silence in the shroud
A bee, a blink, a polo field
Shows what no fortune ever healed

(Bridge – gesprochen, düster)
He had everything... but not forever.
No one does.

(Guitar-Solo)

(Final Chorus)
No crown in the grave, no throne in the dust
No vault can hold your final trust
Laugh while you can, run while it’s day
'Cause death rides quiet — and never pays

(Outro)
One breath. One bee. One man.
Gone.

No Crown in the Grave

Text:
(Intro – Spoken, Guitar-Riff)
They call it defense...
They call it faith...
But all I see is fire, and mothers diggin’ graves.

(Verse 1)
Iron flags and desert lies
Jets above the orphaned skies
Missiles fly like preacher's words
But only blood speaks louder than dirt

(Pre-Chorus)
One side screams, the other roars
But peace don't knock on shattered doors

(Chorus)
No side wins – just graves
Kids ain't pawns, they ain't slaves
Leaders lie, while people die
And bombs don’t care who prays or why
No glory, no truth, just shame
No side wins – just graves

(Guitar-Solo)

(Verse 2)
Ayatollahs play with fire
While power fuels their cold desire
Jerusalem, once crying free
Now drowning in hypocrisy

(Bridge)
You say it's right, they say it's wrong
But funerals don’t sing no songs
Not one damn soul can justify
The tears of a child who wonders why

(Guitar-Solo)

(Final Chorus – Double)
No side wins – just graves
Sons in flags, daughters in flames
Stop the hate, break the chain
Peace is louder than your reign
No silence, no shame, no slaves —
No side wins – just graves

(Outro – Spoken, knisternd, düster)
You want war?
Dig your own first.

No Side Wins (Just Graves)

[Chorus]
I'll get rich or die tryin'
I ain't lyin'

If it means I ain't cryin'
No more

[Verse]
Bitch

In your best friend's car

[Chorus]
I'll get rich or die tryin'
I ain't lyin'
I ain't scared of dyin'
If it means I ain't cryin'

(instrumental-Part)

[Verse]
Might fuck around and write a hit song
Might find a man and just get along
Might say
"Fuck it
Go crazy and dye my hair blonde"
I'ma do whatever I want

[Chorus]
I'll get rich or die tryin'
I ain't lyin'
I ain't scared of dyin'
If it means I ain't cryin'
No more

(Guitar-Solo)

Get Rich or Die Tryin'

[Verse]
He died in a rocket crash on Mars
They gave me his military records
And I saw my name
He had a secret family with me

[Verse]
They brought his body back to Earth
I opened the casket and
I saw his face
He had a secret family with me

(Instrumental-Part)

[Chorus]
I want to love you for a long time
I want to see your face
You are the most important thing to me
And I love you

[Bridge]
He was already married
He had a son and a daughter
He was in the Air Force
I thought he was in the Army
He had a secret family with me

(Solo)

[Verse]
His body was on display in an open casket
His parents asked me not to come
But I couldn't miss it
He had a secret family with me

[Verse]
I saw his wife at the funeral
She looked just like me
They all thought it was a coincidence
He had a secret family with me

My Secret Family

Text:
(Intro – gesprochen, mit Afrobeat-Unterton)
You rich in soil, you rich in soul...
But who you crown – decide your goal.

(Verse 1)
From the gold of Ghana to Congo’s mines
Diamonds buried deep in ancient lines
Oil flowin’ like the river Nile
But the people wait… mile after mile

They blame the West, they curse the past
But history don’t fix what don’t last
The chains are gone, but still not free
If you vote for thieves, what will you be?

(Chorus)
Africa, rise! No more disguise
You got the sun, you got the skies
Don’t sell your pride for a cheap parade
Let the future be the choice you made
Africa, rise! Lift your name
You not the world’s eternal shame
Build with heart, not just with flame
So your children walk without that blame

(solo)

(Verse 2)
No more generals with gold cigars
While kids learn math beneath the stars
No more leaders drunk with fame
Who feed on fear and shift the blame

Don’t let them say: “We still in chains”
While they buy jets with stolen gains
Your pain is real – but so your power
Africa, this is your hour!

(Bridge – Melodic Dancehall)
Choose dem wise – no tribal lies
Not who shout loud, but who lift lives
Don’t let the flag hide dirty hands
It’s time to rise and change your lands!

(solo)

(Final Chorus – extended)
Africa, rise! Enough of wait
Don’t let your future rot in hate
Heal the past but don’t stay stuck
You got the rhythm, you got the luck
Rise in light, not under threat
There’s more to give than just regret
Africa, rise – the world will see:
No more begging — just dignity!

(Outro – spoken, soft)
Africa... not broken. Just not led right.
And now... it's time.

Africa, Rise!

[Verse]
When I came to this morning
I couldn't believe my eyes
When I found you in my bed
Oh what a surprise
You told me you love me
But you know it ain't right
I should've left you at the bar last night

[Chorus]
Ooh hoo
You make it so hard
For me to do right
So I don't know what I'm gonna do
Ooh hoo
I can hardly sleep
So I stay up all night
I'm thinking I might call you

(solo)

[Verse]
So come on
Give it to me
I've been waiting all day long
Baby turn the lights on
I like it
Just like that
Go and do it one more time
Baby turn the lights on

[Chorus]
Ooh hoo
You make it so hard
For me to do right
So I don't know what I'm gonna do
Ooh hoo
I can hardly sleep
So I stay up all night
I'm thinking I might call you

(solo)

[Bridge]
I'm thinking about you all day
I can't get you out of my head
I know I said I wouldn't do it
But you're better than the rest
I'm thinking about you all day
I can't get you out of my head
I know I said I wouldn't do it
But you're better than the rest

[Verse]
So come on
Give it to me
I've been waiting all day long
Baby turn the lights on
I like it
Just like that
Go and do it one more time
Baby turn the lights on

Turn the Lights On

Text:
(Verse 1)
They say the world is wide and free
But only 'til it’s watching me
The trees, they whisper, "stay unknown"
The light reveals, but leaves you lone

(Verse 2)
A step too far, a breath too proud
And silence shifts into a crowd
Eyes appear where none should be
Truth can burn as much as flee

(Chorus)
Out in the clearing, you stand alone
A target made of skin and bone
The brave get seen, the brave get hurt
But shadows freeze in safer dirt
So choose your place, behind or bright
No peace comes easy, no truth without fight

(solo)

(Verse 3)
They never touched you in the dark
But you were also just a spark
The sun invites, but never shields
And every hero bleeds in fields

(Bridge)
They won’t aim for what they cannot find
But what’s the worth of life confined?
The loudest hearts get pierced the most
Yet echo longer than a ghost

(solo)

(Final Chorus – bigger)
Out in the clearing, no disguise
Just breath and blood beneath the skies
Let them come, let fear unfold
I'd rather break than never bold
You call it danger — I call it life
I won’t grow roots beneath a lie

(Outro – flüsternd, auf minimalem Beat)
Stay hidden if you must…
But don’t mistake stillness for trust.

Out in the Clearing

Text:
(Verse 1)
He asked me what the fire meant
When the sky turned white, then red, then bent
I showed him faces lost in flame
And told him: Son, don’t play that game

The bones still whisper in the dust
Of cities crushed in godless trust
And what we dropped, we can’t take back
A sun we built to leave no track

(Chorus)
This is what we should never do again
Not in rage, not in pain
Not for pride or flags or kings
Not for oil, not for wings
We hold the match, we know the flame
Don’t make the world forget its name
This is what we should never do again

(Guitar-Solo)

(Verse 2)
They vanished where they stood and stared
No warning signs, no time to care
Children carved in shadows burned
While all of time refused to turn

We built it stronger, sharper now
One push and no one shows us how
The sky would fall, the oceans boil
And all that’s left is ash and soil

(Bridge – leise, fast geflüstert)
One bomb, a million cries
No gods heard those lullabies
One blink, no more chance to pray
One flash, all life blown away

(Guitar-Solo)

(Final Chorus – groß, verzweifelt)
This is what we must never do again
No revenge can justify the end
We have the choice, we have the voice
To stop before we kill the noise
Don’t write our tombstone in the sky
With fire we built, and let it fly
This is what we should never do again

(Outro – spoken, düster, ruhig)
If we ever do it again…
There won't be a song to sing about it.

What We Should Never Do Again

Text:
[Verse]
Kicked in the knee by a red-headed girl
In a bathroom in eastern Australia
She was angry 'cause I called her beautiful
She said
"Do you even know what that means here?"
[Chorus]
I said
"No
I don't know
And I don't know what you did with my keys
But if you wanna keep 'em
You can keep 'em
Please
If you promise to stay with me"
[Verse 2]
The floor is cold in our apartment
You're outta town and I've got no socks on
So I just sit in the living room
Staring at the empty walls and I wonder if
[Chorus]
You're sitting in a warm place
Somewhere in the world
And you're sitting next to a red-headed girl
And she's smiling at you
And she's smiling for me
And she asks you to stay with her
[Verse 3]
The past was all just a moment
When we were at the moment
I felt like we owned it
But now the moment's gone
The present is gone in a second

(solo)

[Chorus]
When you lose something precious
And the second you wreck it
You realize you had it all along
[Verse 4]
The future's a closed door
But the door's on a hinge
And the hinge is attached to a world without end
But I'm attached to the moment
And the moment is
[Chorus]
All that I need
All that I want
All that I see
So if you want me to be all that I can be
You gotta promise to stay with me
[Bridge]
When the moment is gone
But it all moves on
And the beat goes on
But we still hear the song
And if you stay with me
I'll stay with you
And we'll go on and on
[Verse 5]
The moment is gone
But it all moves on
And the beat goes on
But we still hear the song
And if you stay with me
I'll stay with you
And we'll go on and on
[Chorus]
The moment is gone
But it all moves on
And the beat goes on
But we still hear the song
And if you stay with me
I'll stay with you
And we'll go on and on
[Verse 6]
The moment is gone

My Random Song

Text:
(Verse 1)
We rode the wind beyond the Mars
Past frozen moons and silent stars
Till signals died and systems cracked
Where light retreats and time turns black

(Verse 2)
There stands the wall they never breach
Too far for gods, too close to reach
A storm of heat, a blaze so wide
The solar heart begins to hide

(Chorus)
Wall of fire – edge of breath
Line between the life and death
Where the stars begin to speak
And all our strength becomes so weak
Wall of fire – final gate
Beyond it lies the hands of fate
Burn it bright, or turn away
But no one crosses and stays the same

(Instrumental-Part space sound)

(Verse 3)
We built our ships from dream and gold
But found no heaven, just the cold
A cosmic truth we can't defy:
Even stars must learn to die

(Bridge – instrumental Drop + whispered)
This is where the sun lets go…
Where nothing human dares to grow…
This is not the end we planned...
Just the edge of what we understand.

(solo)

(Final Chorus – entfesselt)
Wall of fire – blinding crown
The outer dark will drag you down
No maps remain, no gods to guide
Just ash and echoes on the tide
Wall of fire – we flew too near
But we were never made for here

(Outro – ambient)
And still…
we burn.

Wall of Fire
