Text:
[Intro – gesprochen, wie aus einem Kontrollraum]

Initiating spin analysis...
Gravity locked...
Rotational velocity exceeding 50,000 RPM...
Brace for hyperspeed...

[Verse 1 – männlich, treibend]
Out here where the dark gets loud,
stars spin in fury, proud and proud.
Pulsars blink like neon rage,
a cosmic dance, a physics stage.

One blink – a thousand times a second,
makes our solar waltz feel secondhand and reckoned.

[Chorus – beide, high energy]
🎵
Spin like a star, tear through the sky,
gravity curls where light can’t fly.
Around and around, the speed never dies,
we're slow little sparks under galactic eyes.
🎵

[Verse 2 – weiblich, sphärisch]
Black holes with their hungry spin,
devour space and fold it in.
Accretion disks in endless burn,
time itself begins to turn.

Your clock is slow, their clock is tight,
relativistic day and night.

[Bridge – instrumental, treibend, kurze Vocals geflüstert]

1,000 times a second…
1 millisecond pulse…
We crawl… they fly…
in circles written in gravity...

[Chorus – beide, mit doppeltem Tempo]
🎵
Spin like a star, faster than light,
curve space around you, bend every night.
Mass makes rhythm, motion’s king,
welcome to the realm where spacetime sings.
🎵

[Outro – gesprochen, wieder Kontrollraum-Stimme]

And still…
our sun turns slow...
while monsters out there spin the void into flame.

My Clowning Around Song

Text:
[Intro Guitar-Riff]
Yeah!
Kickstart the fire, baby...
We're ridin’ straight through hell!

[Verse 1]
She got wheels forged in brimstone heat,
Chrome and leather, lightning feet.
Growls like thunder, red eyes glow,
You hold tight or you're lettin’ go!

[Pre-Chorus]
She don't stop for prayers or pleas,
Burns the road, brings gods to knees!

[Chorus]
Ride a demon, ride it fast!
Steel and fury, built to last.
Screamin’ tires and engine moans,
You're not alone — she eats your bones!

(Guitar-Solo)

[Verse 2]
Smoke and ashes, blood-red trail,
She don’t brake, she’ll never fail.
Your soul's the fare, your heart’s the key,
Hop on, son — now ride with me!

[Pre-Chorus]
Her kiss is flames, her grip is tight,
You ride by day, you're dead by night!

[Chorus]
Ride a demon, no control,
She’ll drive you right into the soul.
Faster, louder, straight from hell,
Ring that highway funeral bell!

(Guitar-Solo)

[Bridge – Breakdown]
(Solo + Spoken)

You thought it was just a bike, huh?
Nah... she chooses her riders.
And you... yeah, you're hers now.

[Final Chorus – Shouted]
Ride a demon, till you scream,
Metal horse from nightmare dream.
One last gear and then you're gone –
She don't stop till the devil’s dawn!

[Outro]
(Feedback, roaring engine, evil laughter fading...)

"Ride or die, baby... and you already chose."

Ride a Demon

Text:
[Verse 1]
I lost a limb, but I still stand,
Built a world with just one hand.
The roads I’ve walked, the tears I’ve cried,
Are written deep behind my eyes.

[Verse 2]
But what if all those roads went dark?
No names, no dreams, no beating heart.
If I forgot the sound of home,
Would I still be flesh and bone?

[Chorus]
What am I without my memory?
Drifting ghost on a silent sea.
If I forget what made me me,
Do I still exist, or cease to be?
What am I, what am I… without my memory?

(Instrumental-Part)

[Verse 3]
I’d speak the words, but not the pain,
Recall the sun, but not the rain.
Know how to run, but not from where,
See faces… but with empty stare.

[Bridge]
A broken leg can heal or go,
But broken time? That steals your soul.
I’d give the stars, I'd lose the sky,
To hold one memory before I die.

(Guitar-Solo)

[Chorus]
What am I without my memory?
A hollow shell, no history.
If I forget what made me me,
Do I still exist, or cease to be?
What am I, what am I… without my memory?

[Outro]
So I keep each moment close to me,
Like old love letters, quietly.
I lost a leg—but never me.
My story’s mine…
As long as I remember me.

What Am I Without My Memory?

Text:
[Verse 1]
Do you ever feel like you're the only one in town
With a steady job and a woman who don't mess around
Seems like everyone is so scared of love
Just 'cause it ain't a hundred percent

[Verse 2]
And everyone wants to be a billionaire
Yeah
They think that money's gonna solve all their problems
But it's a revolving door
If you don't know what you're lookin' for

[Chorus]
Take a number
It's a long line of lovers
Just waitin' on the one that's right
To take 'em out tonight
Take a number
It's a long line of lovers
If you think she's the one for you
Take a number

(Guitar-Solo)

[Verse 3]
So you bought a ticket to a rock 'n' roll show
'Cause your favorite band was coming to town
But everybody said that it wasn't cool
Just because it wasn't sold out

[Verse 4]
But then you got there and you heard that song
And everybody in the crowd started singin' along
So now you're here for a real good time
'Cause it's the people who make it come alive

[Chorus]
Take a number
It's a long line of lovers
Just waitin' on the one that's right
To take 'em out tonight
Take a number
It's a long line of lovers
If you think she's the one for you
Take a number

(Guitar-Solo)

[Bridge]
Don't it feel so good to know that you can change
And everything you see won't always be the same
Ain't that a beautiful thing?
Yeah
And it don't matter what they say
It's gonna be okay

[Chorus]
Take a number
It's a long line of lovers
Just waitin' on the one that's right
To take 'em out tonight
Take a number
It's a long line of lovers
If you think she's the one for you
Take a number

Take a Number

Text:
(Verse 1)
The U.S. lost its courage,
just big words and war storage.
Freedom's sold in plastic bags,
while billionaires raise their flags.

Russia's out of potatoes,
but full of nukes and fake halos.
They flex with rusted tanks,
while vodka drowns their banks.

(Chorus)
And me?
I got no money in my account,
the ATM says "Don't even count."
The world’s on fire – like a promo,
and I’m stuck here yelling: YOLO!

(solo)

(Verse 2)
China climbs glass towers,
with firewalls and hidden powers.
Europe’s lost in translation,
diplomacy on vacation.

The Mullahs shout from caves,
but can't feed the city slaves.
Israel claims defense all day,
but bombs still light the sky in May.

(Chorus)
And me?
I got no money in my account,
inflation dancing, no discount.
Crisis here, there, global cargo,
but I’m living off canned tomatoes.

(Bridge – Spoken)
They stream their wars in 4K,
sell the fear with a holiday.
They play chess, we play broke,
just one more bill and I’ll choke.

(solo)

(Final Chorus – Loud & Unfiltered)
And me?
I got no money in my account!
The world's a clown show – paramount!
They play with tanks and ego rage,
and I can't even pay my wage!

(Outro – Quiet, bitter laugh)
Maybe enough for pizza…
Hold the cheese, just dough and shame.

Crisis All Over (And I'm Broke)

Text:
[Verse 1]
Took a midnight train from Georgia
To the city where you stay
And I'm standin' on your doorstep
A thousand miles away
And my eyes begin to water
From the smell of your perfume
Well
You better get to packin'
'Cause we're leavin' here real soon

(solo)

[Verse 2]
'Cause I know a place that's better
It's a thousand miles from here
And the people are all kind
And the skies are always clear
I been livin' here forever
I can't live without you
And I don't know why I'm cryin'
When I should be flyin'

[Chorus]
Ooh
I'll fly to you
I'll fly to you
Ooh
I'll fly to you
I'll fly to you

(Guitar-Solo)

[Verse 3]
So I flew back to the city
Where my family still stays
And my brother's on the porch
And my mother's gone away
And my father's all alone
With a bottle in his hand
And my eyes begin to water
When I should be flyin'

[Chorus]
Ooh
I'll fly to you
I'll fly to you
Ooh
I'll fly to you
I'll fly to you
Ooh
I'll fly to you
I'll fly to you
Ooh
I'll fly to you
I'll fly to you

I'll Fly To You

Text:
(Verse 1)
In quiet aisles and neon light,
they walk like shadows in the night.
No cash, no guilt, just sleight of hand,
while workers scrape to make a stand.

It’s not just bread, it’s TV screens,
a system cracking at the seams.
They blame the hunger or the state,
but honor breaks beneath the weight.

(Pre-Chorus)
We teach our kids to stand up tall,
to own their steps, not climb and fall.
A stolen apple stains the tree,
a price unpaid ain't ever free.

(Chorus)
Don’t steal what you can’t own,
don’t turn the market into stone.
Pay your part, walk out proud,
not hiding faces in the crowd.
The price you don’t pay now
will chase you down somehow.

(Instrumental-Part)

(Verse 2)
Some do it for the thrill,
some just to feel a little will.
But taking what is not your due
won’t ever make a wrong thing true.

Behind the mirror stands a man
who knows exactly who I am.
I'd rather eat with empty hands
than steal my soul across the brands.

(Pre-Chorus – Repeat)
We teach our kids to stand up tall,
to own their steps, not climb and fall.
A stolen apple stains the tree,
a price unpaid ain't ever free.

(Chorus – Repeat)
Don’t steal what you can’t own,
don’t turn the market into stone.
Pay your part, walk out proud,
not hiding faces in the crowd.
The price you don’t pay now
will chase you down somehow.

(Solo)

(Bridge – Spoken/whispered)
It’s not about the sticker tag,
it’s about the mark you leave.
Every stolen thing you drag
puts one more crack in what you believe.

(Outro – still, soft)
Better honest and broke,
than rich in shame and smoke.
I’d rather sleep in peace tonight
than steal a thing that wasn’t right.

Price You Don’t Pay

Text:
(Intro – flüsternd, fast unheimlich)
You don’t bomb a poison...
unless you want the earth to bleed.

(Verse 1)
Flash of light in desert night,
a plan so dumb it burns too bright.
You aimed at fuel, not warheads near—
but all you made was death sincere.

No genius plan, no smart crusade,
just ignorance in a general’s blade.
Toxic fire in sacred sand,
and fallout dancing through the land.

(Chorus)
Ashes of the atom,
spread across the skies.
You can’t fight hell with fire,
and call it justified.
What you break stays broken,
and what you burn won’t die.
Ashes of the atom—
and no one left to cry.

(Guitar-Solo)

(Verse 2)
Iran, the west, a game of pride,
but children choke while old men hide.
Trump pulled strings like it was a game,
and now the desert glows in shame.

No plan for peace, just boom and blame,
while vultures circle without name.
No bunker saves your soul from this—
you bomb the world, you cease to exist.

(Chorus – Repeat)
Ashes of the atom,
spread across the skies.
You can’t fight hell with fire,
and call it justified.
What you break stays broken,
and what you burn won’t die.
Ashes of the atom—
and no one left to cry.

(Guitar-Solo)

(Bridge – gesprochener Text)
It’s not just war.
It’s soil and seed,
it's air and time,
the unborn bleed.

(Outro – ruhig, resigniert)
When dust falls slow and silence sings,
remember what destruction brings.
It’s not the end with mushroom cloud—
it’s the slow death we allowed.

Ashes of the Atom

Text:
(Verse 1)
I took the long road, every time,
Thought I was lost, thought I’d crossed the line.
Missed the signs and passed the light,
But somehow still, I made it right.

(Pre-Chorus)
Everyone says there's a straighter way,
But maybe the crooked paths make us brave.

(Chorus)
All these turns I took, they taught me how to stand,
Even when the map was slipping from my hand.
I didn’t always know where I belong,
But every detour still led me on.
It’s not the fastest way, but it’s mine—
I found gold in the wasted time.

(Instrumental-Part)

(Verse 2)
Some doors closed, and some stayed wide,
But I learned to walk with faith, not pride.
Sometimes wrong feels more like right,
When you learn to love the climb, not the height.

(Pre-Chorus)
They said I should’ve made it by now,
But I’m still learning what life allows.

(Chorus – repeat)
All these turns I took, they taught me how to stand,
Even when the map was slipping from my hand.
I didn’t always know where I belong,
But every detour still led me on.
It’s not the fastest way, but it’s mine—
I found gold in the wasted time.

(Guitar-Solo)

(Bridge – ruhig, emotional)
If I’d walked the perfect line,
I might have missed what made me shine.
The broken roads, the late goodbyes,
Are where I truly came alive.

(Final Chorus – mit Chor, episch)
All these turns we take, they shape who we become,
Every step, even the wrong ones, make us someone.
You don’t need to walk the line so straight,
The heart will find its way through fate.
It’s not the shortest way, but it’s true—
All these turns led me to you.
