Verse 1
Soft light on silver ground,
shadows hum without a sound.
Whispered tales in crystal air,
of something pure that isn’t there.

Pre-Chorus
Steps that never touched the earth,
a dream that sings of second birth.
You close your eyes — and it begins,
the glow beneath transparent skin.

Chorus
It never lived, it never died,
a mirror born from humankind.
Still we chase the shining cause,
to touch the creature that never was.

Verse 2
Old monks drew it, kings believed,
painters prayed and poets grieved.
Now plastic horns in neon blue,
pretend that fantasy is true.

Bridge
We need our ghosts to feel alive,
we paint them bright so we survive.
Between the myth and what we are,
the line is blurred — and that’s our star.

Final Chorus
It never lived, it never died,
but still it rides through time and lies.
Beneath the shimmer, truth withdraws,
we are the creatures that never were.

Outro whisper:
Every child that comes to see,
dreams it back to life, endlessly.
The horn still shines — through tiny eyes,
each new heart keeps magic alive.

The Creature Never Was

Text:
[Verse 1]
Night cut open, neon knives,
fists like thunder, bruises, lives.
He hit me first — I took the blow,
then glass and blood and the world moved slowly.
One punch landed, the alley sighed,
he fell like thunder, just closed his eyes.
He's breathing still, not gone for good,
but the crowd wants blood where silence stood.

[Pre-Chorus]
Flashing blue like a ghost in chase,
city ​​mirrors my frantic face.
My hands are clean, my conscience torn,
but the law writes loudly on the break of dawn.

[chorus]
Ride, ride the midnight thunder,
engine roars and the world goes under.
Sirens scream like a sermon of light,
I'm gripping steel, I'm holding tight.
I didn’t start the fire, I only played defense —
one last highway, one last recompense.

(solo)

[Verse 2]
Leather jacket, salt and grime,
memories stitched to the miles and time.
A badge behind me, a judge in the sky,
the city hums and the moments fly.
He's sleeping now, no final breath,
but whispers spread like a rumor of death.
Why kneel to a law that shouts the crowd?
Why wear a rope for a single loud vow?

[Pre-Chorus]
Radio static, a dispatcher cold,
they call my number in stories bold.
I feel the chrome, I taste the dust,
I'm just a man, betrayed by trust.

[chorus]
Ride, ride the midnight thunder,
engine roars and the world goes under.
Sirens scream like a sermon of light,
I'm gripping steel, I'm holding tight.
I didn’t start the fire, I only pushed the fight —
one last highway, one last desperate flight.

[Bridge — spoken over a grinding riff]
They'll paint the scene in black and white,
forget the hands that moved to right.
But the alley knows, and the night remembers,
every scar, every ember.
If truth’s a mirror cracked and bent —
I wore the blow that heaven sent.

[Solo]

[Final Chorus — doubled, choir-like backing]
Ride, ride the midnight thunder,
feel the sky split like a miracle.
Sirens cry but my heart's alive,
I hold the truth, I keep the drive.
I didn’t spark the hate, I only met the strike —
one last highway, racing out the night.

[Outro — slow, ominous]
Streetlight blinks — a heartbeat gone,
I slow the throttle, the dawn comes on.
In the rearview, blue fades to gray,
and somewhere someone will choose to say:
he ran — or he rose — or he paid the price.
I keep the engine warm and roll the dice.

One Last Highway

Text:
[Verse 1]
Late at night, streets glow neon,
Screens flicker, your mind’s gone.
Clicks in the shadows, whispers in the code,
Something’s lurking, heavy is the load.

Not in the closet, not on the floor,
It lives in the network, always wanting more.
A spider blacker than your darkest fears,
Spinning threads through your digital tears.

[Hook / Chorus] (spoken, whispered)
It’s crawling in the wires…
It’s crawling in the wires…
It’s watching, it’s waiting,
Coming for your mind tonight.

(solo)

[Verse 2]
Eyes like cameras, they follow your moves,
Fingers on keyboards, can’t escape these grooves.
Streaming your life, all your secrets revealed,
The spider’s hunger is your fate sealed.

Signals twitch, your apps awake,
Every notification is a step it takes.
Don’t blink, don’t move, don’t make a sound,
Or it’ll pull your essence right through the ground.

[Hook / Chorus]
It’s crawling in the wires…
It’s crawling in the wires…
It’s watching, it’s waiting,
Coming for your mind tonight.

(solo)

[Bridge / Rap Flow]
Digital nightmare, binary web,
One wrong click and you’re in its stead.
No mercy, no rest, it’s feeding on code,
Halloween’s spirit in a heavy load.

[Outro] (whispered)
Check your connection, feel the fright…
The spider in the wires owns the night.

It’s Crawling in the Wires

Text:
[Verse 1]
I lay beneath the cosmic sea,
In the desert where the world breathes free.
The air was thin, the stars alive,
Ancient whispers start to rise.

A thousand suns above me burn,
The wheel of time begins to turn.
No gods, no kings, no holy fight —
Just numbers dancing in the night.

[Chorus]
We are children of the sky,
Counting shadows as they fly.
Through the fire, through the stone,
The Maya cracked the cosmic code.

(solo)

[Verse 2]
No glass, no wires, no modern eyes,
Yet they mapped the midnight skies.
They spoke with stars, with moon and flame,
Each eclipse they called by name.

Now city lights erase the view,
But truth is old, not something new.
You just forget what they could see —
The universe inside of thee.

[Chorus]
We are children of the sky,
Counting shadows as they fly.
Through the fire, through the stone,
The Maya cracked the cosmic code.

(solo)

[Bridge – Spoken/Whispered]
They knew the day the sun would hide,
The sacred math, the stars collide.
In silence they would calculate —
No error, no escape from fate.

[Outro]
And when I looked up that night so far,
I saw myself inside each star.
We think we rule, but all we know —
We’re just dust that learned to glow.

Children of the Sky (The Maya Code)

Text:
[Verse]
They sit on thrones built of stolen gold
Their promises rust
Their lies grow old
Cigars and deals in the dead of night
The shadow’s kingdom
No truth in sight

[Chorus]
Why are we ruled by criminals
By wolves in suits so cynical
They laugh
They feast
While we survive
Kings of the concrete
They thrive
They thrive

(solo)

[Verse 2]
Paper crowns
Their empire burns
We light the match
We take our turns
The streets are whispering
The walls can hear
Their castles crumble when we draw near

[Bridge]
Do they fear the dawn
Do they fear the crowd
Do they hear the voices screaming loud
The kings and queens of a broken trust
Will they fall to ash
Will they fall to dust

[Chorus]
Why are we ruled by criminals
By wolves in suits so cynical
They laugh
They feast
While we survive
Kings of the concrete
They thrive
They thrive

(solo)

[Outro]
But the tide will turn
The fire will rise
We’ll take back the world
No more disguise
No more rulers
No more lies
The kings of the concrete meet their demise

Kings of the Concrete

Text:
[Intro – Spoken, mit kaltem 80s Synth]
Moskau ruft, doch keiner hört,
die Platte dreht, der Beat ist gestört.
Ein Mann in Uniform, ganz allein auf dem Thron –
und denkt, die Welt sei noch Beton.

[Verse 1]
Putin ist so eighties, trägt Tarn und Macht,
posiert mit Raketen, die keiner entfacht.
Er will der Bär sein, doch knurrt nur im Traum,
sein Reich aus Beton – längst ein Pappmaché-Raum.

Ihr habt gebellt in alten Tagen,
doch die Wände hör’n’s nicht mehr, nur euer Klagen.
Der kalte Krieg? – ist längst vereist,
der Tiger rußt, doch keiner beißt.

[Refrain]
Paper bear, made of fear,
shouting loud so the world can hear.
Your empire’s cracks, your mask is clear,
we don’t dance to your old idea.

Paper bear, fall apart,
your cold heart’s just theatre art.
From the Kremlin to the mirror’s glare,
it’s all illusion – paper bear.

(solo)

[Verse 2]
Er zeigt die Faust, doch sie zittert leicht,
das Echo klingt hohl, kein Ziel erreicht.
Atomraketen im Photoshop,
ein Schattenmann, der keiner toppt.

Die Welt bewegt sich, du bleibst stehn,
in alten Filmen willst du wiedergehn.
Doch keiner spielt mehr deinen Song,
deine Bühne bricht, dein Krieg zu lang.

[Bridge – Spoken mit Beat-Break]
Du wolltest Respekt – doch was du kriegst, ist Mitleid.
Du wolltest Größe – doch bleibst gefangen in der Zeit.
Wir leben weiter, du bleibst zurück,
ein Papiertiger mit Nostalgie im Blick.

(solo)

[Refrain]
Paper bear, made of fear,
shouting loud so the world can hear.
Your empire’s cracks, your mask is clear,
we don’t dance to your old idea.

Paper bear, fade away,
the future doesn’t fight your way.
You’re the past – a broken prayer,
just a ghost, a paper bear.

Outro (spoken/sung): “Checkmate, Comrade”

He rolled the dice, thought the board was his —
but the king’s in check, the pawns won’t move.

Couldn’t break Zelenskyy, couldn’t break the truth,
now the smoke of his own fires covers the proof.

Refineries burn, the empire stills,
iron melts under frozen wills.

Admit it now, the mask is through —
you lost your game… and the world saw you.

Paper Bear

Text:
(Intro – Spoken)
Rosa didn’t stand, she sat —
and the world stood up.
Now it’s our turn.

(Verse 1)
You paint your hate with stars and stripes,
same old lies in a suit and tie.
Preachin’ freedom, buildin’ walls,
but truth don’t bow to power calls.

The first human? Black as night,
Africa gave the world its light.
You hate that shade? Then hear the fact —
You hate the skin you’re livin’ in, man, that’s whack.

(Hook)
We all came from the same dawn,
black, brown, white — it’s one song.
Racism’s a ghost you feed,
starve it, break it, let it bleed.

Raise your fists, no fear inside,
Rosa rode — we still ride!
Love’s the weapon, truth’s the gun,
We are many, hate’s just one.

(solo)

(Verse 2)
Trump talk loud, but his soul’s on mute,
tweets of venom, hearts in suit.
Billionaires preach, “God is white,”
but every color bleeds in the same fight.

From Selma streets to modern screens,
justice still gets killed in dreams.
Say his name, say her name,
we won’t let them die in vain.

(Bridge)
Tear down statues, build new minds,
love ain’t colorblind — it shines.
Every child deserves to see,
that skin don’t make humanity.

(solo)

(Hook)
We all came from the same dawn,
black, brown, white — it’s one song.
Racism’s a ghost you feed,
starve it, break it, let it bleed.

Raise your fists, no fear inside,
Rosa rode — we still ride!
Love’s the weapon, truth’s the gun,
We are many, hate’s just one.


(Outro)
The first man walked under an African sun,
one planet, one blood — we are one.
Hate is learned, love’s in our genes,
Rosa’s seat still rolls through the scenes.

Color of the First

Text:
[Verse 1]
I roll on wheels, but I stand on my own,
I work the day, I pay my loan.
They say I’m broken — I say I’m free,
Your pity’s blind, it don’t see me.

The lights go out, the world keeps turning,
I feel the burn, I keep on learning.
Laws say give, they say defend,
But manhood means you don’t pretend.

[Pre-Chorus]
If you slide through life with no demand,
Expect no rise when you don’t stand.

[Chorus]
No excuses, no bailouts, no lies,
If you don’t pay your dues — you’ll pay the price.
I’m independent, I’m real, I’m here,
You earn your place — or disappear.

(solo)

[Verse 2]
Child support missing? File the case,
Don’t wait for justice in empty space.
Too many lean back, while others strive,
My body’s scarred — but I’m alive.

I’m not sorry for the ones who try,
I won’t bend for lazy alibis.
Disability’s my card, not my chain,
I’m meaning in spite of the pain.

[Bridge]
We see the headlines — welfare claims,
Tafeln long lines, system games.
But there’s one rule that never bends:
Respect is earned — not bought by friends.

(solo)

[Final Chorus]
No excuses, no bailouts, no lies,
If you don’t pay your dues — you’ll pay the price.
I’m independent, I’m real, I’m here,
You earn your place — or disappear.

[Outro (spoken)]
So move your ass — or accept your seat.
I’ll keep rolling, I’ll keep my beat.
While you’re waiting, I’m living—
No excuses.

No Excuses

Text:
Verse 1
Sunset whispers on the edge of gold,
The laughter fades but the warmth still holds,
Moments drift like clouds in flight,
Every joy gives way to night.

Chorus
Even the greatest day comes to an end,
But don’t be sad, my friend —
If your heart stays open wide,
Tomorrow brings the same sunlight.
It’s up to you, to make it shine again.

(solo)

Verse 2
Memories dance where daylight’s gone,
Every smile becomes a song,
The world keeps turning, soft and slow,
Let go — and let it glow.

(solo)

Chorus
Even the greatest day comes to an end,
But don’t be sad, my friend —
If your heart stays open wide,
Tomorrow brings the same sunlight.
It’s up to you, to make it shine again.

Outro
Every dawn’s a second chance,
Every heartbeat sings advance,
Even when the shadows bend —
The greatest day will come again.

Even the Greatest Day

Text:
Verse 1
We built our world on borrowed wires,
a fragile dream on foreign fires.
You and I — a silent code,
lost between the overload.

Pre-Chorus
Signals fade, the lights grow thin,
can you still hear me breaking in?

Chorus
If they pull the plug, will we survive the night?
When the circuits die, will you still be mine?
They can shut us down, but not our blood,
our hearts still hum beneath the flood.

(solo)

Verse 2
The giants speak in secret tongues,
they own the air, they own our lungs.
Europe sleeps in wired chains,
no escape, no local brains.

Pre-Chorus 2
When the power bends to might,
will we vanish from the light?

Chorus (repeat)
If they pull the plug, will we survive the night?
When the circuits die, will you still be mine?
They can shut us down, but not our blood,
our hearts still hum beneath the flood.

(solo)

Bridge
No cloud, no code, no voice, no feed,
just static ghosts and broken need.
Still I reach through zero’s skin,
searching for the spark within.

No ChatGPT, no Microsoft,
social silence, systems locked.
Trump could flip the switch, you see —
no alternative for you and me.

Outro
So if they pull the plug, my love, don’t scream —
we’ll meet again inside the dream.
