(Verse 1)
Smoke in the backroom, silence in the hall,
Gold on your fingers, but you're braced for the fall.
You made it to the top, now they call you "Don"—
But the whisper in the dark says you're already gone.

(Verse 2)
Deals in the night, your name rings fear,
But power’s a candle, burning too near.
Today they kiss your hand, tomorrow your ring—
But someone in the crew wants to be the king.

(Chorus)
You don’t stay up forever, it’s just a borrowed throne,
The wolves you fed are circling your home.
Trust is a shadow, loyalty a game—
The knife in your back won't need a name.
You're only a legend...
‘till the next in line takes aim.

(solo)

(Verse 3)
Your photos hang in smoky bars,
But stories fade like old cigars.
They’ll toast your name, pour out the wine—
Then carve out space for the next in line.

(Bridge – flüsternd, bedrohlich)
Behind every Don is a hungry face,
A brother, a friend, ready to take your place.
Even angels wear a mask in this town—
One wrong step, and you're underground.

(Chorus)
You don’t stay up forever, it’s just a borrowed throne,
One heartbeat from being overthrown.
Respect is a myth when ambition burns,
The fire you lit... someday returns.
You're only the boss...
‘till the next in line learns.

(solo)

(Outro – slow fade, einsichtsvoll)
So enjoy the power, count your sins,
But remember:
In the end,
No one truly wins.

[Verse 1]
Clock is ticking, but is it real?
Moments cut like a spinning wheel.
Every second feels brand new,
But maybe it’s a lie we’re moving through.

[Pre-Chorus]
If all exists in just one frame,
Why do I dance, why do I play the game?

[Chorus]
Paradox of time, I breathe the beat,
Past and future at my feet.
Every kick a world apart,
Yet it’s the same unbroken heart.
Paradox of time, I lose, I find,
An endless rhythm in my mind.

(solo)

[Verse 2]
Songs unfold, from start to end,
But maybe nothing’s there to spend.
Illusion calls, we chase the sound,
Though every note was always found.

[Pre-Chorus]
If all is written, carved in stone,
Why do I feel like I’m alone?

[Chorus]
Paradox of time, I breathe the beat,
Past and future at my feet.
Every kick a world apart,
Yet it’s the same unbroken heart.
Paradox of time, I lose, I find,
An endless rhythm in my mind.

(solo)

[Bridge]
Dance in the circle,
No start, no end.
Every now collides,
And comes again.
Relativity’s song,
We can’t rewind,
Still every pulse
Feels one of a kind.

[Final Chorus]
Paradox of time, it sets me free,
Illusion’s chains, they fall from me.
Every moment, I let it shine,
Forever trapped, yet so divine.

[Outro]
Tick—tock,
It’s all the same block.
Kick—snare,
The sound’s always there.
We move in lines,
But live in loops,
Paradox of time—
It’s the truth.

Paradox of Time

[Verse 1]
Got a message late last night,
“Hey babe, I’m Kim, let’s set it right.”
Blue check’s gone, but she swears it’s real,
Said she loves my vibe, wants to seal the deal.

Then Robert Plant came knockin’ too,
“Let’s jam some Zeppelin, just me and you!”
But his English slipped, full of typo lines,
Guess legends don’t use Google, half the time.

[Chorus]
Kim Kardashian in my inbox, oh no,
Angus Young says he needs some dough.
Brian Jones came back from the grave,
All these scammers, man, they’re so brave.
Click delete, I don’t believe—
Rockstars don’t slide in my DMs at three!

(solo)

[Verse 2]
Kim says: “Honey, wire me cash,
I’ll send you selfies, private stash.”
But the photo’s blurry, cropped too tight,
Pretty sure Kim don’t use a Nokia, right?

Then Angus wrote: “I lost my band,
Need your number, lend a hand!”
But AC/DC’s still on tour,
Nice try, scammer, seen that before.

[Chorus]
Kim Kardashian in my inbox, oh no,
Angus Young says he needs some dough.
Brian Jones came back from the grave,
All these scammers, man, they’re so brave.
Click delete, I don’t believe—
Rockstars don’t slide in my DMs at three!

(solo)

[Bridge]
If Elvis texts me tomorrow night,
“I’m alive, and my hair’s still tight,”
I’ll just laugh, say: “Nice disguise—
Next you’ll tell me Tupac’s online!”

[Final Chorus]
Kim Kardashian in my inbox, oh no,
Robert Plant wants my stereo.
Brian Jones is ghostin’ me,
Scammers everywhere, set me free.
Hit that block, I keep my peace,
Legends don’t beg me for a lease.

[Outro – spoken/funny ad-libs]
“Yo, this is Mick Jagger—send Bitcoin, baby!”
“Yeah sure, Mick… click delete.”v

Kim Kardashian in My Inbox

[Intro]
Yeah…
Clock’s ticking, papers stackin’,
Hearts racing, stomach crackin’.
Two worlds, one beat.
Listen close.

[Verse 1 – Yuppie Voice]
Wake up, tie tight, gotta win this race,
Coffee in my hand, sweat upon my face.
Climb that ladder, never look down,
Shiny car, penthouse in town.
But the nights get cold, the pressure’s real,
Success tastes bitter when you can’t heal.
Doctor says: „Man, you’re workin’ too much,“
Magengeschwür – life’s out of touch.

[Pre-Chorus]
All that gold, all that fight,
But your soul don’t sleep at night.

[Chorus]
Generation Chill – they move slow, they know the deal.
Work to live, not live to work,
Balance is the strongest shield.
Generation Chill – they don’t climb that stress-built hill,
They got less, but they got more,
Peace of mind, that’s worth the score.

(solo)

[Verse 2 – Gen Z Voice]
Hey old school, we saw what you did,
You burned bright fast, but the candle split.
We want time, yeah, we want air,
Love and laughter, we keep it fair.
Not lazy – just wiser with years to go,
Hustle kills joy, and we say „no“.
Call it chill, but it’s survival too,
We don’t play the game that’s breakin’ you.

[Bridge]
Two worlds, but the beat is the same,
Your scars, our new realm.
You chase the clock, we feel the flow,
Maybe you'll learn– let it go.

(solo)

[Chorus]
Generation Chill – they move slow, they know the deal.
Work to live, not live to work,
Balance is the strongest shield.
Generation Chill – they don’t climb that stress-built hill,
They got less, but they got more,
Peace of mind, that’s worth the score.

[Outro]
So take a breath, let the burden fall,
Life ain’t a prison, it’s a call.
Old scars heal if you just stand still,
Welcome, man – to Generation Chill.

Generation Chill

Text:
[Verse]
I love you like the morning loves the dew
Like shadows love the moonlight too
You’re the spark in my undone fuse
Baby I can’t lose

[Prechorus]
You’re the reason stars don’t sleep
The reason oceans run so deep

[Chorus]
I love you I love you I do
Every second it feels brand new
I love you I love you it’s true
Falling falling into you

(solo)

[Verse 2]
I love you like a kite loves the breeze
Like whispers love the swaying trees
You’re the rhythm in my heartbeat’s tune
The melody I swoon

[Bridge]
If the world broke in two
I’d still run to you
If the sun turned to rain
You’d still ease my pain

(solo)

[Chorus]
I love you I love you I do
Every second it feels brand new
I love you I love you it’s true
Falling falling into you

Falling Into You

Text:
[Intro]
Yeah…
This one’s for all the dreamers,
9-to-5 believers,
Clock in – cash out –
We fight, we fly!

[Verse 1]
Alarm rings, dark sky, eyes half closed,
Bus stop waiting, same street, same clothes.
Bills keep knockin’, rent won’t wait,
Working all day just to fill that plate.
But I see postcards in my head at night,
Ocean waves, sunrise light.
I sweat, I grind, I pay my dues,
’Cause paradise waits when I choose.

[Pre-Chorus]
Every hour, every cent,
Is a ticket heaven-sent.
Don’t give up, don’t lose sight,
Vacation’s comin’, hold on tight.

[Chorus]
Fight for the holiday –
Workin’ hard, but we’ll find a way.
Dreamin’ of beaches, far and wide,
Freedom waits on the other side.
Fight for the holiday –
Pack your bags, we don’t wanna stay.
New horizons, voices sing,
Every struggle pays for wings.

(solo)

[Verse 2]
Sunburn laughs on a foreign shore,
Street food smells, colors I adore.
Strangers smile, music in the air,
Life feels lighter when you’re there.
So don’t just dream, man, make it real,
Sweat today for tomorrow’s feel.
Chillen’s sweet, but first the fight,
Earn your wings, then take that flight.

[Bridge]
Fight for your holiday, don’t just dream away,
Foreign lands are waiting, trust it, find your way.
Working for the money, yeah, it all pays out,
You can chill much later – palm trees all around.

(solo)

[Chorus]
Fight for the holiday –
Workin’ hard, but we’ll find a way.
Dreamin’ of beaches, far and wide,
Freedom waits on the other side.
Fight for the holiday –
Pack your bags, we don’t wanna stay.
New horizons, voices sing,
Every struggle pays for wings.

[Outro]
Yeah…
One world, one life, one chance to see,
Your fight today buys tomorrow free.
So raise your glass, the sky turns blue,
Holiday’s waitin’ – for me and you.

Fight for the Holiday

Text:
[Verse 1]
No shame, no fear, let’s talk it clear,
Words they hide, but the truth is here.
Hollywood showed me, jokes on the screen,
But real life talk is what we need.

[Pre-Chorus]
They call it wrong, they twist the name,
But knowing yourself is not a game.
With laughter, light, and honesty,
We break the walls, we set it free.

[Chorus]
Say it loud, say it true,
Every body’s part belongs to you.
No more silence, no taboo,
Honest talk will carry you through.

(solo)

[Verse 2]
Parents scared, teachers shy,
But kids deserve no alibi.
It’s just a word, it’s not a crime,
Let’s teach it real, it’s about time.

[Bridge]
Open hearts, with courage too,
Speaking strong is good for you.
No more secrets, no disguise,
Honesty wins, the greatest prize.

(solo)

[Chorus – Reprise]
Say it loud, say it true,
Every body’s part belongs to you.
No more silence, no taboo,
Honest talk will carry you through.

No More Secrets

Text:
[Verse 1]
We started fair, equal money in hand,
Rolling dice on a balanced land.
But slowly the tide begins to slide,
One grabs it all, as the rest just hide.

[Pre-Chorus]
When the board folds, what will remain?
Empty streets and burning flames.

[Chorus]
When the board closes, the real game begins,
It’s not sharply planned, but it’s already grim.
One owns the world, the rest pay the cost,
When Monopoly ends – freedom’s lost.

(solo)

[Verse 2]
No landlords warned, the lesson ignored,
Greed won the day, and justice was floored.
Cities crumble, wars spark from despair,
One player stands – but nobody’s there.

[Bridge]
It started as lesson, a warning in code,
But now it's prologue to a darker road.
When the board closes, no winners live on,
Just silence, ashes, and the final dawn.

(solo)

[Chorus]
When the board closes, the real game begins,
It’s not sharply planned, but it’s already grim.
One owns the world, the rest pay the cost,
When Monopoly ends – freedom’s lost.

[Outro – Spoken]
So tear up the board, but rebuild the world,
Before the last card is flipped, let truth be unfurled…
Don’t wait till the end to know it’s your turn.

When the Board Closes

Text:
[Verse]
Golden sun climbs through the haze
Winding streets
A mystic maze
Chai steam rising
Whispers of the day
Painted elephants lead the way

[Prechorus]
Colors burst like fireworks in the sky
Spices linger
And time drifts by

[Chorus]
Oh India
You sing to me
A tapestry of mystery
Oh India
Where dreams run free
Your soul is endless poetry

(solo)

[Verse 2]
Sacred rivers
They twist and turn
Lamps on water
Forever burn
Drummers echo as the dancers spin
Life begins where chaos has been

[Prechorus]
Sacred chants hum soft in the air
Every shadow holds a story there

(solo)

[Chorus]
Oh India
You sing to me
A tapestry of mystery
Oh India
Where dreams run free
Your soul is endless poetry

Golden Horizons

[Verse]
Gliding on a cosmic wave so sleek
Stars whisper secrets
The void will speak
Galaxies spin
They wink at me
I’m the rider of infinity

[Chorus]
Silver Surfer
Riding high
Cutting through that endless sky
No chains to hold
No need to try
Silver Surfer
I just fly

(solo)

[Verse 2]
Planets bow as I streak past
Time bends
But I’m built to last
Black holes hum a mournful tune
I surf the sun
I’ll kiss the moon

[Prechorus]
Out here I’m free
Out here I shine
The universe is yours and mine

[Chorus]
Silver Surfer
Riding high
Cutting through that endless sky
No chains to hold
No need to try
Silver Surfer
I just fly

(solo)

[Bridge]
No north no south no east no west
Out in the void
I’m at my best
Silver glow
My endless quest
Riding the wave
I never rest

Silver Surfer

[Intro]
Tick-tock – drones above the street,
no game, no dream – just a human to beat.
Kherson burns – hear the siren’s cry,
the world looks on – but they don’t ask why!

[Verse 1]
Eyes in the sky, cameras in the swarm,
they hunt the children, no shield, no form.
Bus stops burning, ambulances scream,
lies march forward – crushing every dream.

No soldier, no fight, just blood in the dust,
a hunt on the people – mechanical lust.
Human Safari – broadcast the death,
likes on the channels, propaganda’s breath.

[Pre-Chorus]
See the truth, feel the flame,
their system’s built on blood and shame!

[Chorus]
Drones are hunting – over my town,
Human Safari – sky turns brown.
No escape, no freeborn day,
see what war takes away!

(solo)

[Verse 2]
The UN shouts loud, but the killers laugh,
a war crime staged – on the global path.
Neighbors flee, the streets run bare,
the voices of victims – vanish in air.

483 hurt, 30 souls gone,
but the fuse still burns, and the code runs on.
Silence is consent, eyes turned away,
but the truth stands tall, while the lies decay!

[Bridge – Spoken, Rage-Style]
“People are not your targets!
Children are not your numbers!
Your war is a crime –
and the drone is the dagger!”

(solo)

[Chorus]
Drones are hunting – over my town,
Human Safari – sky turns brown.
No escape, no freeborn day,
see what war takes away!

[Outro]
Tick-tock – no game, no dream.
Tick-tock – just a human scream.
Tick-tock – the world looks on.
Tick-tock – but we shout: ENOUGH!

Human Safari
