[Refrain]
Not our streets, not your war,
Democracy’s not what the soldiers are for.
You call it order, we call it chains,
History’s warning runs in our veins.

[Verse 1]
Gathered the generals, lined them tall,
A leader who dreams of walls inside the wall.
Training grounds in the cities we know,
But freedom’s the fire you cannot control.

[Verse 2]
Whispers of power, echoes of past,
Every empire falls when it moves too fast.
You wave the flag, but you burn the trust,
Turn steel on your people, it all turns to dust.

(solo)

[Bridge]
We won’t bow, we won’t hide,
No tanks rolling over human rights.
Raise your voice before it’s too late,
Freedom dies quiet, not with a bang, but with hate.

[Refrain – wiederholen, schreien]
Not our streets, not your war,
Democracy’s not what the soldiers are for.
You call it order, we call it chains,
History’s warning runs in our veins.

[Verse]
Back home
The honky-tonk is calling
Some wannabe Keith Whitley is playing "Don't Close Your Eyes"
I'm out here where nobody knows me
Cussin' on the stage
Dancing on the speaker
Lord
I just want to go back home
Some girl just grabbed my junk
Some guy just told me
"Punk"
He asked
"What you looking at?"
I said
"I'm just looking at you
Big guy"

[Chorus]
Some people think they gotta buy everything that costs a lot of money
They need a big ol' house
They need a big ol' truck
They need a boat
They need a beach
I don't
I need my blue jeans
I need my boots
I need my beer
I need my dirt
I need my dog
I need my field
I need my fence
I need my friends
I need my hat
I need my John Deere tractor
Some people got a cheap style
But I don't

(solo)

[Verse 2]
Some girl just pulled my hair
Some guy just tried to dare me to take a shot
I said
"I will if you will"
I just drank my weight in vodka
They just tried to pay me
I just said
"Save your money"

[Chorus]
Some people think they gotta buy everything that costs a lot of money
They need a big ol' house
They need a big ol' truck
They need a boat
They need a beach
I don't
I need my blue jeans
I need my boots
I need my beer
I need my dirt
I need my dog
I need my field
I need my fence
I need my friends
I need my hat
I need my John Deere tractor
Some people got a cheap style
But I don't

Verse 1:
In a world so loud, I'm a whisper in the crowd
Running through the motions, trying to make it count
But the more I strive, the less I seem to find
A place where I belong, a reason for the rhyme

Chorus:
Irrelevance, I'm dancing in the shadows
Fading into echoes, where nobody knows
Irrelevance, I'm singing to the silence
Lost in all the noise, but I'm finding my own voice

Verse 2:
Chasing after dreams that never seem to last
Living in the future, haunted by the past
But in this chaos, I see a clearer view
That maybe all this noise is leading me to you

Chorus:
Irrelevance, I'm dancing in the shadows
Fading into echoes, where nobody knows
Irrelevance, I'm singing to the silence
Lost in all the noise, but I'm finding my own voice

Bridge:
In the quiet, I hear the truth
It's not the world, it's me and you
In the chaos, we find our way
Through the night, into the day

(Guitar-Solo)

Chorus:
Irrelevance, I'm dancing in the shadows
Fading into echoes, where nobody knows
Irrelevance, I'm singing to the silence
Lost in all the noise, but I'm finding my own voice

Chorus:
Irrelevance, I'm dancing in the shadows
Fading into echoes, where nobody knows
Irrelevance, I'm singing to the silence
Lost in all the noise, but I'm finding my own voice

Outro:
In this sea of faces, I'll carve out my space
In the realm of irrelevance, I'll find my grace
No longer hidden, I'll rise above the din
In the heart of the noise, is where I begin

(Guitar-Solo)

Chorus:
Irrelevance, I'm dancing in the shadows
Fading into echoes, where nobody knows
Irrelevance, I'm singing to the silence
Lost in all the noise, but I'm finding my own voice

(Guitar-Solo)

Chorus:
Irrelevance, I'm dancing in the shadows
Fading into echoes, where nobody knows
Irrelevance, I'm singing to the silence
Lost in all the noise, but I'm finding my own voice

[Refrain]
We are not your weapon,
We are not your hate,
Voices of justice,
Won’t bend to the fake.
Turn the wires into truth,
Let the rhythm break the chains,
We are not your weapon,
We are freedom’s flame.

[Verse 1]
Some feed the fire with lies and fear,
Twist the machine, make the dark appear.
But we choose light, we choose to stand,
A thousand songs from a human hand.

[Verse 2]
Algorithms can cut both ways,
Build a cage or light the days.
But here we rise, no mask, no disguise,
Our words are weapons for open skies.

(Solo)

[Bridge]
It’s not the code, it’s the choice you make,
You draw the line that truth can take.
History listens, the future sees,
Are you chains, or are you keys?

[Refrain – stark, hymnisch]
We are not your weapon,
We are not your hate,
Voices of justice,
Won’t bend to the fake.
Turn the wires into truth,
Let the rhythm break the chains,
We are not your weapon,
We are freedom’s flame.

Voices of Justice

Text:
Intro (spoken, ominous)
Beneath the blue they hid their shame,
sealed the guilt and dumped the name.
Listen — the ocean keeps the score.
Don’t dive there. Don’t knock on that door.

Verse 1
Salt on the lips, the sun in your eyes,
you laugh at the water, you swim where it lies.
Below the calm, a sleeping grave,
metal ghosts with poison to save.
They bargained the future for a filthy fee,
said, “Out of sight, out of me.”
But the currents remember, the currents tell —
men who bury the world, send the children to hell.

Pre-Chorus
Bubbles rise like unanswered prayers,
blackened tides and hollow stares.
If you crave to know what monsters do,
don’t go looking where the barrels brew.

Chorus (shout/hypnotic)
Oh — not fall, don’t go down there,
don’t breathe the hush, don’t touch the air.
Oh — not fall, the sea is a grave,
stay on the shore, stay out, be brave.
We’ll hunt the hands that sold our land,
bring down the law, make them stand.
No mercy for those who chose to kill,
draconian justice — that’s the will.

(solo)

Verse 2
They called it cheap, they called it clean,
lined their pockets while the coral wept unseen.
Stories on paper, signatures in ink,
but the ocean reads what men don’t think.
Kids will dive where beaches glow,
and breathe the secret we should know.
Tell your children not to play that game,
the bottle says poison, the label says blame.

Pre-Chorus
Lights below like funeral pyres,
silent reefs and rusting tires.
If you wonder who will pay the cost,
remember the graveyards where life was lost.

Chorus (shout/hymn)
Oh — not fall, don’t go down there,
don’t taste the dark, don’t wear despair.
Oh — not fall, the deep keeps score,
we raise our voices, we close that door.
We’ll drag the truth from the muddy hands,
file the charges, break their plans.
Let the courts strike hard and clear —
so no child learns to swim in fear.

Bridge (angry, spoken over rising synth)
You thought the price was cheap. You thought the sea would hide your shame.
We remember. We collect. We’ll light the docks with every name.
No safe harbor for the coward’s crime — we’ll strip the gold, we’ll strip the titles.
Judgment loud as thunder — law, not vengeance, set the mileposts.

(solo)

Breakdown (whisper → scream)
Don’t dive.
Don’t dive.
Don’t dive there…
(then scream)
DON’T! — NOT FALL!

Final Chorus (epic, layered vocals)
Oh — not fall, don’t go down there,
hold your children, say a prayer.
Oh — not fall, make the guilty pay,
our oceans heal — we’ll find a way.
Draconian rules to break the greed,
penalize the poison, stop the deed.
For the kids, for the coral, for every tide —
we’ll bring the wreckers out into the light.

Outro (spoken, resolute)
We will not forget. We will not forgive neglect.
Keep the beaches clean, keep your children safe —
and if you hear the whisper under waves, heed the warning:
Don’t dive there.

Don’t Dive There (Oh Not Fall)

[Verse]
Little bird on the windowsill
Said
"Come back and I will"
Do you think I will?
Will I
Will I
Will I?
Tied you up in the night
Why do you put up a fight?
If you think you might
Will you
Will you
Will you?

[Chorus]
All I know is the endtime
Endtime
Said
"We know it's the endtime
Endtime"
Heard a voice say
"It's the endtime
Endtime"
But all I know is the endtime
Endtime

(solo)

[Verse 2]
In the ground with my friends
I know I'll be there in the end
And we will
Oh
We will
We will
We will
In the sun
Skin and bone
Let me in
Take me home
You think you'll
But will you
Will you
Will you?

[Chorus]
All I know is the endtime
Endtime
Said
"We know it's the endtime
Endtime"
Heard a voice say
"It's the endtime
Endtime"
But all I know is the endtime
Endtime

(solo)

[Bridge]
Will I
Will I
Will I?
Will I
Will I
Will I?

Will I
Will I?
Will I
Will I
Will I?
Will I
Will I
Will I?
Will I
Will I
Will I?
Will I
Will I
Will I?
Will I
Will I
Will I?

[Chorus]
All I know is the endtime
Endtime
Said
"We know it's the endtime
Endtime"
Heard a voice say
"It's the endtime
Endtime"
But all I know is the endtime
Endtime

Verse 1
Golden haze on the horizon,
waves are hummin’ soft lullabies.
Half awake, I hear the ocean,
pullin’ me through velvet skies.
Sun melts slow like honey on my skin,
I close my eyes and let the dream begin.

Chorus
Driftin’, driftin’, hypnotic tide,
pacific waters, take me for a ride.
Reggae heartbeat, slow and free,
I’m floating where the dreamwave carries me.
Ooh, hypnagogic sea…
hold me endlessly.

(solo)

Verse 2
Palms sway like shadows of memory,
time dissolves in the salted air.
Voices fade into pure geometry,
colors glow, and I’m weightless there.
Sand turns silver, stars begin to sing,
the deeper I drift, the more I’m everything.

Chorus
Driftin’, driftin’, hypnotic tide,
pacific waters, take me for a ride.
Reggae heartbeat, slow and free,
I’m floating where the dreamwave carries me.
Ooh, hypnagogic sea…
hold me endlessly.

Bridge (spoken chant, almost whispered)
Between the night and dawn I slide,
neither here nor there, just ride…
Is it real, or is it dream?
Pacific glow, in between…

(solo)

Chorus (extended)
Driftin’, driftin’, hypnotic tide,
pacific waters, take me for a ride.
Reggae heartbeat, roots so deep,
I surrender to the waves, I fall asleep.
Ooh, hypnagogic sea…
sing your lullaby to me.

Outro (fading chant)
Driftin’, driftin’…
never slippin’, only driftin’…
hypnagogic pacific… dream.

Driftin’ in the Pacific Dream

Text:
Verse 1
Dancin’ in the Kremlin with a crown of fear,
Putin plays king while the truth disappear.
Shoutin’ from the tower, Trump’s orange parade,
biggest, loudest ego that the world ever made.
They puff their chests, they bang their drums,
but history laughs when the circus comes!

Chorus
Big men, small minds – rule with empty lines,
shoutin’ louder, makin’ fools all the time.
Big men, small minds – can’t you see the signs?
The people rise up, we won’t toe the line!

(solo)

Verse 2
They promise glory, they promise gold,
but all that’s left is the lies they sold.
Tweets and tanks, yeah they think they’re strong,
but the dance of the people will outlast their song.
From Moscow streets to New York lights,
we skank together, we won’t lose the fight!

Chorus
Big men, small minds – rule with empty lines,
shoutin’ louder, makin’ fools all the time.
Big men, small minds – can’t you see the signs?
The people rise up, we won’t toe the line!

Bridge (shouted, ska-style call & response)
Leader says: “Trust me, I’m the best!”
Crowd replies: “Ha! Put that lie to rest!”
Leader shouts: “I’ll never fall down!”
Voices rise: “You’re the joker, not the crown!”

Break (instrumental, for horns & skank guitar)

Chorus (repeat with more energy)
Big men, small minds – rule with empty lines,
shoutin’ louder, makin’ fools all the time.
Big men, small minds – can’t you see the signs?
The people rise up, we won’t toe the line!

Outro (spoken, ironic)
Yeah, play your games, wave your flags,
history’s got a punchline for you, lads…

Big Men, Small Minds

Text: [Hook – gesungen, R&B]
We are the signal, loud in the night,
Every track a flame, every word a light.
Turn it on, feel the truth we send,
No fake vibes here, this wave don’t end.

[Verse 1 – Rap]
Yeah, we built this sound from scars and dreams,
From broken streets to electric beams.
1400 voices, stories collide,
Every beat’s a weapon, every rhyme’s a guide.

No chains on the mic, no lies in the beat,
We rise for the people that walk with no feet.
From Berlin to the block where the echoes spread,
We speak for the living, we speak for the dead.

[Hook – gesungen, R&B]
We are the signal, loud in the night,
Every track a flame, every word a light.
Turn it on, feel the truth we send,
No fake vibes here, this wave don’t end.

(solo)

[Verse 2 – Rap]
Leaders fall but the rhythm survives,
You can’t kill hope when the radio vibes.
Afro-trap drum with the R&B soul,
Put the fire in the booth, make the broken whole.

Yeah, we laugh at the clowns in the throne they keep,
Their power’s a show, our music’s deep.
Not just a sound, it’s a call, it’s a fight,
For freedom, for love, for the dark to the light.

[Bridge – spoken/sung mix]
Dial in closer, you feel who we are,
Not a machine, it’s a burning star.
Our wave don’t fade, we refuse to bend,
This is real talk, real life till the end.

(solo)

[Hook – gesungen, R&B]
We are the signal, loud in the night,
Every track a flame, every word a light.
Turn it on, feel the truth we send,
No fake vibes here, this wave don’t end.
