[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)
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.

All These Turns

Text:
[Verse]
You walk into the room and all the stars come out
I see you smile and I say "baby
What's this all about?"
The world is turning
I just wanna waste some time with you
'Cause when I hear you laugh
I just want to make you mine

[Verse 2]
The way you love me
I want it all the time
And every day
Babe
I wanna make you mine
You're like the sun
Baby
So warm and bright
And I'm your moon
Babe
We'll shine all through the night

[Chorus]
You and me
We're meant to be
Baby
Can't you see
You're all I need
Baby
You and me
We're meant to be
Can't you see
You're all I need

(Solo)

[Verse 3]
The way you love me
I want it all the time
And every day
Babe
I wanna make you mine
You're like the sun
Baby
So warm and bright
And I'm your moon
Babe
We'll shine all through the night

[Verse 4]
The way you love me
I want it all the time
And every day
Babe
I wanna make you mine
You're like the sun
Baby
So warm and bright
And I'm your moon
Babe
We'll shine all through the night

(solo)

[Chorus]
You and me
We're meant to be
Baby
Can't you see
You're all I need
Baby
You and me
We're meant to be
Can't you see
You're all I need

The Way You Love Me

Text:
(Verse 1)
You see the silence, think it's fear,
You see the calm, but not the tear.
You never noticed what I hold inside,
The fire I've hidden just to survive.

(Pre-Chorus)
You speak so loud, but you don't know me,
You draw your lines, but can't control me.

(Chorus)
You think I’m weak – but you don’t see me,
You missed the war I fought so quietly.
You call it fragile, I call it brave,
I rise from every hit I take.
You think I’m weak – but you don’t know me at all.

(Guitar-solo)

(Verse 2)
You count my scars like they’re defeat,
But every wound stands on its feet.
I walked through storms you’d never dare,
Still standing tall, still breathing air.

(Pre-Chorus)
You built your world on shallow pride,
I learned to stand with none to guide.

(Chorus)
You think I’m weak – but you don’t see me,
You missed the nights I couldn’t sleep.
You call it broken, I call it real,
I’m made of iron, you just see steel.
You think I’m weak – but you don’t know me at all.

(Guitar-solo)

(Bridge – emotional & strong)
One day you'll see me in the light,
Not bent, not lost – just burning bright.
You’ll hear the voice you tried to drown,
I wear my name like a crown.

(Final Chorus – full power)
You think I’m weak – but you don’t see me,
You missed the heart still beating freely.
You call it shattered, I call it art,
I’ve built an empire from every part.
You think I’m weak – but you don’t know me...
You’ll never know me at all.

You Think I'm Weak (But You Don't See Me)

[Verse]
Do you ever get the feelin' like
You know that something's wrong
But there's nothing that you can do about it?
[Verse]
Do you ever get the feelin' like
You know that something's wrong
But there's nothing that you can do about it?
[Chorus]
Get out of your mind
Get out of your mind
Go in another dimension
Go in another dimension
Go in another dimension
Go in another dimension

(Instrumental-Part)

[Verse]
I just saw a spaceship fly over my head
[Chorus]
I think it just abducted my friends
Get out of your mind
Get out of your mind
Go in another dimension
Go in another dimension
Go in another dimension
Go in another dimension

(Guitar-Solo)

[Chorus]
Go in another dimension
Go in another dimension
Go in another dimension
Go in another dimension
Go in another dimension
Go in another dimension
Go in another dimension
Go in another dimension
Go in another dimension
Go in another dimension
Go in another dimension
Go in another dimension
Go in another dimension
Go in another dimension
Go in another dimension
Go in another dimension
Go in another dimension
Go in another dimension
Go in another dimension
Go in another dimension

Infinite Reflections
[Verse 1]
We thought the stars were few and far,
A single light, a lonely star.
But every dot became a sun,
And suddenly – we’re not the one.

[Verse 2]
We mapped the skies, we touched the void,
What once was firm, now destroyed.
Galaxies like grains of sand,
A billion mirrors in our hand.

[Pre-Chorus]
So tell me now, are we alone?
Or echoes trapped in worlds unknown?

[Chorus]
Infinite reflections, dancing in the dark,
Parallel directions, universes spark.
A mirror breaks, a soul divides,
Another “me” on the other side.
Infinite reflections – where do we reside?

(Instrumental-Part)

[Bridge – Spoken word / Synth interlude]
Maybe next to ours, a world like this,
Where I never spoke, or we never kissed.
Or one where we never were born at all,
And light itself obeys a different law.

[Chorus]
Infinite reflections, dancing in the dark,
Parallel directions, universes spark.
A mirror breaks, a soul divides,
Another “me” on the other side.
Infinite reflections – where do we reside?

[Pre-Chorus]
So tell me now, are we alone?
So tell me now, are we alone?
So tell me now, are we alone?
are we alone? are we aloooooone?
(Guitar-Sol)

[Final Chorus – emotional and powerful]
Infinite reflections, more than we can see,
Beyond the edge of gravity.
This ain't the end, it’s just a frame,
A thousand paths, the same flame.
Infinite reflections – not one, but we.

[Outro – fading echoes]
"Maybe out there…
I'm still…
you."

Infinite Reflections

Text:
(Intro – funky, verspielt)
Mirrorball’s on, the door is shut,
Time to love me just enough.
Ain’t no crime, ain’t no sin,
Let the guilty pleasure begin.

(Verse 1)
Every preacher, every saint,
Got a story they won’t paint.
Doctors say it’s healthy stuff,
So why’s this topic still so rough?

(Pre-Chorus)
It’s not a secret, not a shame,
We all play the private game.
It’s my time, my soul, my skin—
Let the quiet joy begin.

(Chorus)
Just me & me, I’m feelin’ free,
No one else but honesty.
In the silence, I unwind,
With a rhythm that is mine.
Just me & me, and that’s okay,
Guiltless love in my own way.
Don’t need no stage, no masquerade—
I’m a solo serenade.

found satisfaction
with yourself
found satisfaction
with yourself

(Instrumental-part)

(Verse 2)
Call it solo, call it play,
Call it finding peace today.
Whether moonlight or midday,
It’s my own self-love ballet.

(Bridge – slow and dreamy)
No judgment eyes, no awkward lies,
Just a spark that never dies.
You can't outlaw what sets you free,
A little joy, a little me.

(Solo)

(Final Chorus – with full band)
Just me & me, in tune, in beat,
No one else can feel this sweet.
It’s no sin, it’s therapy,
A dose of joy and clarity.
Just me & me, and that’s just fine—
A loving act, not a sign.
If you get it, sing with pride:
"I'm alive and satisfied."

Just Me & Me
