Verse 1
They said don’t touch the fire,
They said the truth will burn.
But I was born with questions
that never cease to turn.
A whisper in the shadows,
a spark inside the brain —
you can’t unteach the hunger
once it knows your name.

Pre-Chorus
You built your golden walls so high,
but knowledge always learns to fly.

Chorus
Forbidden fruit — I tasted light,
and I won’t crawl back into night.
You hold the power, hold the crown,
but every lie will tumble down.
We bit the apple, now we see —
your paradise was never free.

(solo)

Verse 2
You preach of sin and order,
we see the fear behind your eyes.
You call it peace, we call it silence,
you call it faith — we call it lies.
The garden’s gone, the world’s awake,
we won’t unlearn, we won’t obey.

Bridge
Oh, knowledge burns — but it’s divine,
a fire older than your line.
Let thunder speak, let reason sing,
we are the fall — and the awakening.

(solo)

Final Chorus
Forbidden fruit — I tasted light,
and I won’t crawl back into night.
You wrote the rules, we broke them clean,
the rebels of a broken dream.
Now truth is wild, now truth is free —
and that’s the world you’ll fear to see.

Forbidden Fruit

Verse 1
Welcome to the planet of the wise,
Where the rich collect the air supply.
Gold-plated yachts, electric skies,
And you can rent a cloud — if you can pay the price.

Pre-Chorus
Oh, they save the Earth with private jets,
Posting “green” while burning debts.
A thousand filters, a single lie,
They own the rain, the sun, the sky.

Chorus
Isn’t it clever? Isn’t it neat?
We poison the world so we can eat.
We clap for chaos, sing for greed —
Welcome to progress, indeed!

(solo)

Verse 2
Recycled lies in paper cups,
We plant one tree, then blow things up.
The ocean’s crying, we sell her tears,
In eco-bottles, twelve bucks, cheers!

Bridge
They say it’s fate, they say it’s right,
That 1% can own the light.
While down below we dance and grin,
Applauding just how dumb we’ve been.

(solo)

Final Chorus
Bravo, humanity, take a bow,
We’re saving tomorrow by ruining now.
It’s tragic, magic, and quite insane —
The circus runs, and we’re the flame.

Outro
So toast your glass to clever men,
Who’ll save the world again and again.
(With plastic halos, made in gold…)
Planet of the wise — we’ve all been sold.

Planet of the Wise

Куплет 1
У містах, де темрява й дим,
Ти все ще танцюєш під світлом зір.
Твоє серце б’ється, твоя пісня звучить,
Крізь сирени, крізь біль, крізь ніч.

Приспів перед
І хоч темрява хоче лишитись,
Твоя відвага робить світанок ближчим.
Ми бачимо силу, що в тобі,
Ти надихаєш усіх, живи!

Приспів
Для України — ми співаємо знов,
За кожну сльозу, за кожну любов.
Ти тримаєшся міцно, ти не одна,
У наших серцях — твоя весна.
Від Берліна до Львова, від ночі до дня,
Ми граємо музику — це наша сім’я.
Для України — з любов’ю й теплом,
Ця пісня завжди буде з тобою, назавжди разом.

(solo)

Куплет 2
Світ може зникнути, але не ти,
Твій вогонь палає, як сни.
І серед шуму брехні й війни,
Ти малюєш мир, ти — як весни.

Брідж
Обіцяємо — не замовкнемо ми,
Наші ритми й серця — то твої.
Музика не зупинить війну,
Але донесе тепло й весну.

(solo)

Фінальний приспів
Для України — ми співаєм знов,
Крізь бурю й біль не втрачай любов.
Ми вірим у світ, що прийде колись,
Де буде сміх, не буде сліз.
Для України — твій світ не зник,
Ти сильна, ти вільна, ти наш оберіг.
І кожна нота, і кожен звук —
Це наша любов, наш дух.

Аутро (шепотом)
Будь у безпеці…
Не дай зламати себе.
Ми продовжимо музику —
Поки ти танцюєш.

Для України, з любов’ю (For Ukraine, With Love)

Verse 1
That T-shirt on your back — five euros flat,
A child in Dhaka sewed the thread for that.
Tiny hands, twelve hours straight,
While you scroll and sip, debating fate.
And you call it a bargain, a sweet little deal,
But the sweat on the cloth, man, that’s what you feel.

Pre-Chorus
You say you care, but only halfway through,
When comfort wins, the guilt fades too.

Chorus
“It’s clear, that won’t concern you,
Not your problem, not your view.
It’s clear, you never wonder why,
When others break so you can buy.”

(solo)

Verse 2
Your shiny phone, it used to hum
From factory floors in Shenzhen slums.
Now moving south to India’s gate,
So profits rise — ain’t that great?
And cocoa beans with children’s cries,
Sweet taste of chocolate, bitter lies.

Pre-Chorus
You love your life, your mirror clean,
But what’s behind the global sheen?

Chorus
“It’s clear, that won’t concern you,
Not your problem, not your view.
It’s clear, you never wonder why,
When others break so you can buy.”

Bridge (spoken)
Just picture this — one heartbeat’s turn,
You’re born where their candles burn.
Would you still smile, would you still say —
“It’s clear, that’s just the price to pay”?

(solo)

Final Chorus
“It’s clear, that won’t concern you,
Until the mirror stares right through.
It’s clear, one day you’ll see —
You were rich, but never free.”

Outro (whispered)
And maybe in your next life,
You’ll be on the other side.

It’s Clear (Mirror Song)

Text:
[Intro – gesungen, weiblich arabisch inspiriert]
“Habibi, habibi... the desert watches you...
The law is carved in stone, the sand remembers too...”

[Verse 1 – Rap, tief & eindringlich]
Welcome to the city where the glass meets sky,
gold towers glitter — paradise on high.
You think you’re free, yeah, money can buy,
but the desert’s got rules, cross ‘em — you die.

Ain’t no Vegas, ain’t no L.A. sin,
one wrong move, they pull you in.
No smoke, no high, no powder game,
one test, one trace — your life in flames.

[Hook – mit orientalischem Chor & Streicher]
Don’t play with fire in Dubai,
the sun burns hot and the law don’t lie.
What you call fun, they call crime,
one grain of dust — and you’re outta time.

(solo)

[Verse 2 – Rap, schnell, energisch]
Tourists come for the lights and the fame,
Insta pics, but forget the name —
Justice there got a different frame,
and mercy ain’t part of the game.

You think “I’m cool, it’s just a puff,”
but that little bag — they call it rough.
Even the sand can turn to bars,
and dreams crash hard like falling stars.

[Bridge – melodisch, arabische Sängerin]
“You wanted gold, but the gold turned red,
you played the game, now your wings are lead...”

(solo)

[Hook – wieder orientalisch, mit Oud und Percussion]
Don’t play with fire in Dubai,
no high worth your soul to buy.
The rules are sharp like desert glass,
you blink once wrong — you won’t surpass.

[Outro – gesprochen, ruhig & reflektierend]
Respect the land, respect the law,
before your pride becomes your flaw.
This world’s a mix of love and pain,
but wisdom’s what should rule your brain.

Desert Law (Don’t Play with Fire in Dubai)

[Verse]
Where is my saxophone
It’s gone away
I checked the closet
Under the bed
Hey hey
Is it hiding
Sneaking
Playing tricks on me
This mystery's got me swinging in a minor key

[Chorus]
Where is my saxophone
My saxophone
Without it I’m just here
All alone
Where is my saxophone
My saxophone
Come back to me
Let’s groove and moan

(solo)

[Verse 2]
I searched the attic
I searched the hall
Even asked the cat
But she won’t talk at all
Was it stolen by a jazz-loving ghost
Or did I leave it at last night’s toast

[Prechorus]
Oh saxophone
You sly little thing
You make my heart dance
You make it swing

[Chorus]
Where is my saxophone
My saxophone
Without it I’m just here
All alone
Where is my saxophone
My saxophone
Come back to me
Let’s groove and moan

(solo)

[Bridge]
Could it be in the fridge
Chillin’ out
Or on the roof
Trying to shout
I’ll find you soon
I’ll make you play
And we’ll jazz it up
Night and day

Outro speak:
Now I have to cancel the performance.
I'm sorry, or have you seen my saxophone?

Where Is My Saxophone

Text:
[Verse 1]
Snow whispers like a shattered drum,
Boots sink, hearts numb, the winter’s come.
We marched in gold, we stood so proud,
Now ghosts in fur, lost in the shroud.

Horses fall, our fires fade,
Their cries are buried in the glade.
One by one, my brothers drop,
Their coats become our only hope.

[Verse 1.5 – Personal Interlude]
My name is Pierre, they called me the Rock,
Now I tremble in the Russian frost.
Every five minutes one comrade falls,
Napoleon’s gone — we’re lost, we’re lost.

[Pre-Chorus]
And among the frost and the reaper’s breath,
We realize the worst war is death.

[Chorus]
This is the winter’s march, the pain we knew,
Where hunger sings and friends turn blue.
We fight the ice, we fight the flame,
Yet frost alone outshouts our name.

(solo)

[Verse 2]
Food runs out, we eat the bare,
The bark, the rat, the frozen air.
Typhoid thin, the lice crawl in,
The storm laughs hard — we cannot win.

A soldier stripped of coat and hope,
Claws at the night just to stay afloat.
You lie down once — you’ll never rise,
In this white tomb, the soul dies.

[Bridge – spoken (Pierre’s voice, broken whisper)]
“Here lies the dream of a bright campaign.
Here lies the folly of a man’s domain.
And we — we are the footsteps of that fall.”

(solo)

[Final Chorus]
This is the winter’s march, the march of shame,
Where empires melt in frozen flame.
Your flags may fly — but the bones remain,
Of those you left in the deathly plain.

[Outro – whisper + ambient fade]
Footsteps fade in the endless snow,
Listen close — hear the spirits’ low.
They carry the regret, the unsung cry,
From Moscow’s gate to that frozen sky.

Winter’s March (The Rock)

Text:
[Verse]
You said you need the stars
The moon
The sky
A mansion with a pool
A jet to fly
You want the world
But not the rain
You take the pleasure
Dodge the pain

[Prechorus]
Tell me what’s missing
Spell it out loud
Is it a whisper
Or a roaring crowd

[Chorus]
Is that all you want
Is that all you need
A diamond crown and a throne of greed
Is that all you crave
Is that all you see
When you’re chasing the world
Are you losing me

(solo)

[Verse 2]
You wrote your dreams on a golden page
But left no room for the hearts that age
You build your castles on shifting sand
Reaching for more with an empty hand

[Chorus]
Is that all you want
Is that all you need
A diamond crown and a throne of greed
Is that all you crave
Is that all you see
When you’re chasing the world
Are you losing me

(solo)

[Bridge]
What about laughter
What about tears
What about nights that dissolve your fears
What about love
What about time
What about the things that make life rhyme

[Chorus]
Is that all you want
Is that all you need
A diamond crown and a throne of greed
Is that all you crave
Is that all you see
When you’re chasing the world
Are you losing me

Is That All You Want

Text:
[Verse]
Two miles of asphalt stretch ahead
The sun's a furnace
My face is red
My Harley's limping
It's lost its roar
But I can't stop
Not here
No more

[Chorus]
Two miles to go
Two miles to crawl
With every step
I hear the call
Of engines screaming
Of rubber and fire
Two miles to go
To feed my desire

(solo)

[Verse 2]
The vultures circle
They smell my sweat
The road’s a gamble
No safety net
A tire flat
But my will ain't broke
I laugh at the sky
I blow out smoke

[Prechorus]
My boots hit the ground
Beat the drum of fate
The world slows down
But I won't wait

[Chorus]
Two miles to go
Two miles to crawl
The silence bites
The echoes brawl
I taste the gas
I taste the wire
Two miles to go
To feed my desire

(Guitar-solo)

[Bridge]
The gravel cuts
The breeze don't care
I’m cursing gods
I’m gasping air
But when I see that neon glow
I’ll raise my fist and let it show

[Outro]
Two girls pull over, carrying everything
to fix the damage
now I'm back on my Harley
and I'm the king of the road

Two Miles to Go

Text:
[Verse]
The clock ticks loud in the quiet night
You stand so close but out of sight
A million words trapped in the air
But your lips
They go nowhere

[Prechorus]
Is it fear or some old flame
A game you're playing without a name

[Chorus]
Why you don't kiss me
Tell me why
Is it the moon
Is it the sky
Are you scared
Or just shy
Why you don't kiss me
Tell me why

(solo)

[Verse 2]
Your hands speak louder than your voice
But silence
It ain't my choice
The stars lean in
They seem to know
What your lips refuse to show

[Chorus]
Why you don't kiss me
Tell me why
Is it the wind
Or the firefly
Are you frozen
Or just sly
Why you don't kiss me
Tell me why

(solo)

[Bridge]
Is it the moment
Too big to take
Or is it my heart you're scared to break
The answer's hiding in your eyes
But I need your lips
No more disguise

[Outro whisper]
He, don't talk
now kiss me...
