hmmmmmmmmmmmm,
ohhhhhhhhhh,
i can't get,
you out of my head.....
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Chorus
Echoed cries,
In broken halls.
Truth denies,
But silence calls.
Verse 2
Letters bled,
Ink like rain.
Words we said—
Now just stain.
hmmmmmmmmmmmm,
ohhhhhhhhhh,
i can't get,
you out of my head.....
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Chorus
Echoed cries,
In broken halls.
Truth denies,
But silence calls.
Bridge
Ash and thread,
Bones and dust.
What we fed
Turned to rust.
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Final Chorus
Echoed cries,
Still remain.
Ghosts arise—
Whisper pain.
hmmmmmmmmmmmm,
ohhhhhhhhhh,
i can't get,
you out of my head.....
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Paper chains,
Love in flames,

HUMAN IGONORANCE ( VARIATIONS )

Text:
Verse 1:
From Toulouse to the stars, no detour, no delay
France just built a bird that’s ready to slay
Dassault on the wings, ESA in control
Rewriting space travel with a hypersonic soul

Pre-Chorus:
Reusable, reliable, racing the stratosphere
While others talk big, France already’s here

Chorus:
Vortex in the sky – ooh la la, she flies!
No dreams, just drive, and billion-euro eyes
Vortex takes the lead – Europe, rise with speed!
France holds the torch, and she won’t concede

(Guitar-Solo)

Bridge:
Elon blinked, Zuck’s in debt
But France made the smarter bet
No cowboy hats, no Martian bluff
Just science, steel, and future stuff

Outro (Sprechgesang):
And Germany?
Still arguing about funding…
Still crying over missed launches…
Come on, Leute – träumen ist nicht bauen!
Move!

Vortex – Vive la France!

Raise the Heat
This track turns up the swagger with lyrics about walking through life untamed and unpredictable. It’s about turning every challenge into fuel for your fire. A heatwave of hard rock confidence.

Raise the Heat


[Verse 1]
She got snakeskin boots and a black Cadillac
Red lips loaded like a heart attack
Hair teased high and her heels even higher
She burns through gas like a four-alarm fire

[Pre-Chorus]
Rollin’ dice with the devil’s grin
She don’t lose, she just begins

[Chorus]
She’s lowdown chrome, built to run
Like a midnight bullet in a smokin’ sun
No brakes, no prayer, no way home
If you ride with her, you're ridin’ alone
Yeah, she’s lowdown chrome
(Slick paint, bad to the bone)

[Verse 2]
Smoke in her laugh and sin in her smile
She'll take your soul, then drive a mile
Neon love in a ghost-town bar
You won't forget where the wild things are

[Pre-Chorus]
She don't ask, she takes the wheel
One touch burns, but damn it feels real

[Chorus – Repeat]
She’s lowdown chrome, built to run
Like a midnight bullet in a smokin’ sun
No brakes, no prayer, no way home
If you ride with her, you're ridin’ alone
Yeah, she’s lowdown chrome
(Slick paint, bad to the bone)

[Bridge – Guitar Solo Over Swampy Groove]
(Slide guitar screams like a warning)
(Drums stomp with boots on the floorboards)

[Breakdown – Spoken]
Ain’t no map, no rules, no time
Just that V8 purr and a bottle of shine
She’s the storm behind your calm—
A rock ‘n roll hymn in a lipstick bomb

[Final Chorus – Full Power]
She’s lowdown chrome, runnin’ red
Like a shot of fire straight to your head
No brakes, no chains, no safe zone
She don’t stop, she don’t moan
Yeah, she’s lowdown chrome—
And you’re already gone.
