(Verse 1 – düster, wütend)
They sit in towers, counting gold,
Stock options, bonuses, never cold.
While we work two shifts just to eat,
By the time they blink—you can’t compete.

(Pre-Chorus – nachdenklich, nah am Puls)
Prices rising, pension died,
Our tears invisible, while profits glide.

(Chorus – wütend, mit Punch)
Not our price, not our pay,
We sweat so you can take it away.
We’re the backbone that no one sees,
But your millions don’t bring us to knees.
It’s not our dream that’s overpaid—
It’s the system that should be ashamed.

(Guitar-Solo)

(Verse 2 – höhnisch, fordernd)
While supermarkets feast on power massed,
We stand in queues, budgets are outclassed.
You get richer, we get squeezed,
This divide is your disease.

(Bridge – eindringlich, kämpferisch)
We won’t plead, we won’t crawl,
Raise our fists, demand it all.
Fair wage, fair life—just to survive,
We are the many—time to rise.

(Final Chorus – triumphierend)
Not our price, not our pay,
Your greed is the debt we refuse to sway.
We’re not your numbers, we’re not your GDP,
We’re the hearts that fuel reality.
It’s not our dream you’ve overpaid—
It’s this broken game that’s to blame. 

(Guitar-Solo)

(Outro – düster, langsam, wie eine unheilvolle Welle)
Shadows move through empty stores,
Locks and chains can’t guard the doors.
When hunger grows, the rules will fall,
And greed will answer to us all.

The streets will speak, the night will burn,
For every coin you failed to earn.
You thought the poor would bow and wait—
But every system meets its fate. 

Not Our Price

Text:
Verse 1
Don’t live a life that’s not worth living,
Don’t let the shadows pull you in.
If you’re hurt, don’t hide, seek healing,
Don’t let the darkness be your skin.
No chain of hunger, no borrowed dreams,
Don’t take from others, it’s not what it seems.

Chorus
You’ve got one life, make it bright,
Fill it with truth, let it burn in the night.
No false prophets, no poisoned streams,
Learn what’s real, chase your dreams.
Stand strong, stand free,
Never harm what others need.

(Instumental-Part)

Verse 2
The world will tilt if we all take,
It’s not the road we have to make.
Fight for the light, it’s worth the pain,
You’ll never walk this way again.
Don’t fall for lies dressed up in gold,
Don’t sell your soul, don’t be controlled.

Chorus
You’ve got one life, make it bright,
Fill it with truth, let it burn in the night.
No false prophets, no poisoned streams,
Learn what’s real, chase your dreams.
Stand strong, stand free,
Never harm what others need.

(Guitar-Solo)

Bridge
This world can be so beautiful,
If you choose to see it whole.
No dead-end streets, no broken schemes,
Just open skies and honest dreams.

Outro
So believe in you, and walk your way,
With kindness in the steps you take.
One life—don’t let it fade,
Be the light that won’t decay.

One Life

Text:
[Verse 1]
13 billion years ago, the cosmos danced in blue,
Hot plasma ruled the scene—no stars, no light to view.
Then helium met a proton, under skies so cold and vast,
HeH⁺ sparked the first embrace, GAIA’s long-lost past.

[Pre-Chorus]
From nothing came a bond so small,
A tiny spark before it all.

[Chorus]
HeH⁺, the first to form, the cosmic seed divine,
You cooled the dark, gave stars a chance to shine.
You held the flame of light, in that primordial time—
First molecule, the universe’s rhyme.

[Verse 2]
In Heidelberg’s cryogenic ring, they recreated your birth,
Deuterium collided, testing your ancient worth.
At -267 °C, your reactivity stayed strong—
Not fading with the cold, but forging cosmic song. 

(solo)

[Pre-Chorus]
Theories once said you’d slow with ice—
But you disproved the quiet lies.

[Chorus]
HeH⁺, the first to form, the cosmic seed divine,
You cooled the dark, gave stars a chance to shine.
You held the flame of light, in that primordial time—
First molecule, forever sublime.

[Bridge – Whispered Wonder]
In nebulae you’ve been found—NGC 7027’s glow,
Astronomers saw your light, proof that science grows.
Your molecule’s traced in distant dust, a relic from the early void,
A testament to creation’s hush, from chaos you’re employed. 

[Final Chorus – Uplifting Finale]
HeH⁺, the spark to stars, a bond both fierce and kind,
From blazing heat to frozen void, your legacy defined.
You taught the cosmos how to breathe, how light begins to climb—
Oh first molecule, you launched all time.

First Molecule

Text:
[Verse 1]
They asked me, “Where do you stand?
Choose your flag, take a hand.”
But I can’t wear your colors in this war,
I’ve seen too much, I can’t want more.

[Pre-Chorus]
Your rockets, your bombs, your endless fight,
You’re both losing pieces of your light.

[Chorus]
I’m on the side of peace,
Where the guns all cease,
No blood in the streets,
Just a place where we can meet.
I’m on the side of peace,
No hate, no enemies,
I only want the chains to break,
For all our children’s sake.

[Verse 2]
I don’t cheer for your revenge,
This cycle has no happy end.
You fight and fight, but don’t you see?
The only side I take is humanity.

(Guitar-Solo)

[Bridge] – spoken softly
Violence from Hamas, I can’t defend.
Violence from armies, it never ends.
Stop the spiral, stop the pain,
There’s nothing here that war can gain.

[Chorus – full power]
I’m on the side of peace,
Where the guns all cease,
No blood in the streets,
Just a place where we can meet.
I’m on the side of peace,
No hate, no enemies,
I only want the chains to break,
For all our children’s sake.

[Outro – fading like a prayer]
Peace…
Only peace…
For you, for me…

Side of Peace

[Verse]
They tiptoe past the midnight chime
Hands like whispers stealing time
Silver shadows in their eyes
The moon
She watches
Never cries

[Chorus]
Moonlight thieves
They take the glow
Dancing where the dark winds blow
They steal the night
They leave the stars
Moonlight thieves
That’s who they are

[Verse 2]
Pockets full of lunar gold
Stories never to be told
They laugh
They leap
They disappear
The night belongs to them
My dear

[Prechorus]
Silent steps
A breath so light
They own the whispers of the night

(solo)

[Chorus]
Moonlight thieves
They take the glow
Dancing where the dark winds blow
They steal the night
They leave the stars
Moonlight thieves
That’s who they are

[Bridge]
Did you see the trail of light?
Fleeting like a comet’s flight
They leave a mark
But not a trace
You’ll only catch a glimpse of grace

Moonlight Thieves

Text:
(Verse 1)
They say the needle is a poison dart,
But history’s screaming from the deepest part,
We killed the plagues, we shut the door,
Now you’re dancing with the devil, begging for more.
Measles waiting at the borderline,
Polio’s grinning like it’s ‘59,
You think you’re free, you think you’re wise,
But freedom dies when the body lies.

(Pre-Chorus)
You call it “truth”, I call it fear,
Fake prophets whisper in your ear,
You play with fire, you light the fuse,
And everyone else gets to pay for your views.

(Chorus)
No shots, no future – the past comes back again,
No shield, no mercy – disease don’t play pretend,
Your “research” is a fairy tale, your YouTube’s not a cure,
No shots, no future – that’s one thing I know for sure.

(Solo)

(Verse 2)
Herd immunity, you tear it down,
While ghosts of the sick parade through town,
Smallpox laughs in an empty grave,
Saying “Thanks for the seat, for the lives you gave.”
From cough to fever, the wave will spread,
The young, the old – the living dead,
And when the hospital doors can’t hold the flood,
Will you still say it’s just in your blood?

(Pre-Chorus)
You call it freedom, I call it blind,
Selling your soul to the anti-science kind,
Truth is a vaccine, you threw it away,
Now the bill comes due, and it’s here to stay.

(Chorus)
No shots, no future – the past comes back again,
No shield, no mercy – disease don’t play pretend,
Your “research” is a fairy tale, your YouTube’s not a cure,
No shots, no future – that’s one thing I know for sure.

(solo)

(Bridge)
Billions saved, you still complain,
Like raindrops cursing the rain,
Conspiracies won’t keep you warm,
When you’re caught inside the storm.

(Final Chorus)
No shots, no future – you gamble with the grave,
No truth, no shelter – no hero left to save,
The science you spit on is the reason you’re here,
No shots, no future – that’s the truth you fear.

No Shots, No Future

Text:
[Verse 1]  
The strings are cold, my hands feel slow  
The melody hides, it just won’t flow  
I’ve been chasing sparks in the pouring rain  
But the matches break and they fade again  

[Pre-Chorus]  
I hear the crowd inside my mind  
But the echo’s weak, and I’ve gone blind  
I need a flame to guide me through  
And maybe that flame is you  

[Chorus]  
Burned out – can you light me up again?  
Send me your fire, my friends  
Burned out – let the music find my flame  
Together we’ll rise again

(Solo)

[Verse 2]  
The nights are long, the colors fade  
The songs I wrote, they’ve lost their shade  
But I know deep down, there’s a tiny glow  
It just needs the wind from the ones I know  

[Pre-Chorus]  
I feel your voices through the dark  
Every word a little spark  
If you sing with me tonight  
We can set this soul alight  

[Chorus]  
Burned out – can you light me up again?  
Send me your fire, my friends  
Burned out – let the music find my flame  
Together we’ll rise again  

[Bridge]  
Every spark you send my way  
Turns my night into a brighter day  
I’ll sing your voices back to you  
Until we shine like we used to do  

(Solo)

[Final Chorus]  
Burned out – but you lit me up again  
Your fire runs through my hands  
Burned out – now the music holds my flame  
Together we rise again  

[Outro]  
Together we rise… again

Burned out

Text:
(Verse 1)
You cheered for tax cuts, big and bold,
But your logic’s ice where empathy’s cold.
They said it’s for families, a middle-class cheer—
But it’s billionaires laughing while your voice disappears.
Medicaid’s crumbling, ACA's taking hits,
Snatching care from fragile lives bit by bit.
The rich get richer, while the rest are stripped—
What’s a promise when so many get skipped?

(Pre-Chorus)
You call it freedom, I call it theft,
Taking lifelines—from people left bereft.

(Chorus)
No coverage, no conscience, doesn’t anyone see?
Your “beautiful bill” writes history’s mockery.
Millions lose their health—yet it’s never enough,
No coverage, no conscience, that’s realpolitik’s bluff.

(Solo)

(Verse 2)
12 million kicked off Medicaid’s floor —
Doctors turned away, hope’s at the door. 
CBO’s numbers say it slows no tempo,
17 million lose coverage—watch that divide grow. 
While hospitals choke on unpaid bills,
Families crushed under care’s cold mills.

(Pre-Chorus)
They say "We’re saving budgets, fighting waste,"
But there’s no price when this move kills grace.

(Chorus)
No coverage, no conscience, stories don’t lie,
Real people scream in the night while the rest walk by.
A future in tatters—but your coffers rise,
No coverage, no conscience—see through their disguise.

(solo)

(Bridge)
The “Big Beautiful Bill” rewrites our fate—
But the pen’s in one hand; the real cost’s the plate. 
While they claim mercy and fairness reign,
They slash safety nets—and feel no shame.

(Final Chorus)
No coverage, no conscience, this feast leaves us stripped,
They feast at our table while our lifelines get clipped.
12 million gone, 17 million more—this lie’s not benign,
No coverage, no conscience—when will justice align?

(Outro – Spoken, resigned)
You built it for the rich, with "freedom" divine—
But the rest? We just see headlines… while our rights decline.

No Coverage, No Conscience

Text:
[Verse 1]
If I could turn the clock,
Find that younger me,
Standing at the corner store,
Thinking it’s just one… maybe three.
I’d take his hand and say,
“This road is not for you,
It steals your breath, it steals your days,
There’s better things to do.”

[Chorus]
If I could talk to me,
I’d break the chain before it grew,
But here I am, and all I see
Is what today can do.
So I forgive the past,
Let the smoke fade in the air,
If I could talk to me—
I’d tell him: “Breathe, there’s better air.”

(solo)

[Verse 2]
And for all of you out there,
Carrying your own regret,
You can’t rewind the film,
But you can change what’s playing next.
Forgive that face in the mirror,
It’s the bravest thing to do,
The weight you drop today
Lets the sunlight shine right through.

[Chorus]
If I could talk to me,
I’d break the chain before it grew,
But here I am, and all I see
Is what today can do.
So I forgive the past,
Let the smoke fade in the air,
If I could talk to me—
I’d tell him: “Breathe, there’s better air.”

(solo)

[Bridge]
No time machine, no second take,
Only now to bend, not break.
We can rise, we can be free,
Starting here, starting with me.

[Outro]
If I could talk to me…
I’d say, “It’s never too late to be free.”

If I Could Talk to Me

Text:
[Verse 1 – Rap]
Yo, I’d jump in a time machine, straight back to sixteen,
Catch that punk kid lightin’ up, thinkin’ he’s unseen,
Slap that cig out his mouth, yellin’ “What the hell you doin’?”
“You’re writin’ your own death note, fool, you’re losin’!”
But nah, I let it slide, thought I’m stronger than the smoke,
Now I’m coughin’ every morning like my chest just broke,
It’s a joke… nah, it’s karma, and I’m facin’ the bill,
If I could talk to me, I’d say “Put it down – chill.”

[Hook – Melodic / Aggressive]
If I could talk to me, I’d tear that page apart,
Rip out the habit before it rips out my heart.
No time machine, so I’m breakin’ free today,
If I could talk to me—
I’d say “Walk away.”

(solo)

[Verse 2 – Rap]
See, regrets are like ghosts, man, they haunt you at night,
They ain’t payin’ no rent but they still holdin’ you tight.
People out here wishin’ for a second try,
But the truth is you get one shot, no alibi.
So I’m learnin’ to forgive that idiot I was,
He was lost, he was scared, yeah, he did what he does.
Now I’m spittin’ in the mic like it’s therapy time,
Turn my guilt into bars, let it bleed in the rhyme.

[Hook – Melodic / Aggressive]
If I could talk to me, I’d tear that page apart,
Rip out the habit before it rips out my heart.
No time machine, so I’m breakin’ free today,
If I could talk to me—
I’d say “Walk away.”

(solo)

[Verse 3 – Rap]
So this one’s for my people who are stuck in their heads,
Fightin’ battles in the dark, lyin’ awake in their beds.
You ain’t trapped in your past, that door’s unlocked,
Kick it open, step through, yeah, smash that clock.
Ain’t no future in a loop, it’s a prison cell,
And the guard is yourself—man, I know that well.
So I’m killin’ off the smoke, breathin’ deep again,
Ain’t waitin’ for tomorrow, nah—today’s when it begins.

[Hook – Melodic / Aggressive]
If I could talk to me, I’d tear that page apart,
Rip out the habit before it rips out my heart.
No time machine, so I’m breakin’ free today,
If I could talk to me—
I’d say “Walk away.”

[Outro – Spoken / Whisper]
Walk away… before it walks all over you.
