[Verse]
You know I
I have never been the one
To bite my tongue
And oh
I have never been the one
To trust someone

[Pre-Chorus]
But lately
I feel the love
With every stranger
And now
Oh
Oh
Oh

[Chorus]
When I look at the stars
I see your face
In the people I meet
The tears I taste
In the stories I hear and the hands I hold
I feel you
I see you
I hear you
When I look at the stars

(solo)

[Verse]
I see
Strangers on a subway car
With crying eyes
They don't
Need to say a word
'cause I
See you in their smile

[Pre-Chorus]
And when I look at the stars
I see your face in the night sky
Oh
Oh
Oh

[Chorus]
When I look at the stars
I see your face
In the people I meet
The tears I taste
In the stories I hear and the hands I hold
I feel you
I see you
I hear you
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars

(solo)

[Chorus]
When I look at the stars
I see your face
In the people I meet
The tears I taste
In the stories I hear and the hands I hold
I feel you
I see you
I hear you
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars

When I Look at the Stars

(Verse 1 – leicht funky Groove)
Some folks just don’t get the vibe,
No chills, no smiles when the beat arrives.
They can hear a tune, but feel no heat—
No joy in the rhythm, no soul in the beat.

(Pre‑Chorus – erklärend & neugierig)
It’s not amnesia, they’re not tone-deaf or broke,
It’s just that music’s wiring is missing the stroke.
Their ears are fine, but the reward doesn’t connect—
The brain’s blind spot where our music's affect.

(Chorus – eingängig & empathisch)
Mute to the beat, not cold, just unique,
No rush, no groove, but life’s still complete.
You don’t dance, you don’t cry,
That doesn’t mean you're numb inside.
We’re not all wired the same—
Some of us skip the musical game.

(solo)

(Verse 2 – leicht ironisch)
They’ll tap their foot for cash or cheese,
But a melody?—it just leaves them uneased.
While most feel goosebumps when music’s in flow,
Their reward brain stays silent, no show.

(Bridge – erklärendes Flüstern)
Only 3–5% feel this way,
Music has no magic spell to sway.
Studies show reduced links in the brain,
Between sound and the pleasure domain.
But the groove still calls—they might just move,
Even if the heart gets no musical groove. 

(Solo)

(Chorus – mit Groove)
Mute to the beat, own your style,
Your silence doesn’t steal our smile.
No tears, no chills, nothing stirred—
Still alive, still preferred.
We’re not all the same in how we feel,
But your absence of sound doesn’t make life unreal.

(Outro – sanft & versöhnlich)
So play that song, if you like, or not,
Your world is rich—musical or not.
We groove in many ways, that’s our truth—
Even if the beat doesn’t reach you.

Mute to the Beat

Text:
(Verse 1)
Smoke in the backroom, silence in the hall,
Gold on your fingers, but you're braced for the fall.
You made it to the top, now they call you "Don"—
But the whisper in the dark says you're already gone.

(Verse 2)
Deals in the night, your name rings fear,
But power’s a candle, burning too near.
Today they kiss your hand, tomorrow your ring—
But someone in the crew wants to be the king.

(Chorus)
You don’t stay up forever, it’s just a borrowed throne,
The wolves you fed are circling your home.
Trust is a shadow, loyalty a game—
The knife in your back won't need a name.
You're only a legend...
‘till the next in line takes aim.

(solo)

(Verse 3)
Your photos hang in smoky bars,
But stories fade like old cigars.
They’ll toast your name, pour out the wine—
Then carve out space for the next in line.

(Bridge – flüsternd, bedrohlich)
Behind every Don is a hungry face,
A brother, a friend, ready to take your place.
Even angels wear a mask in this town—
One wrong step, and you're underground.

(Chorus)
You don’t stay up forever, it’s just a borrowed throne,
One heartbeat from being overthrown.
Respect is a myth when ambition burns,
The fire you lit... someday returns.
You're only the boss...
‘till the next in line learns.

(solo)

(Outro – slow fade, einsichtsvoll)
So enjoy the power, count your sins,
But remember:
In the end,
No one truly wins.

Next in Line

[Verse]
The sky's a canvas brushed with gold
A story written
Yet untold
Clouds whisper secrets to the breeze
I stand in awe
Knees weak with ease

[Prechorus]
Stars wink like they know my name
The world spins slow
A gentle game

[Chorus]
Velvet horizon
Where dreams collide
Chasing the colors
Where we confide
Velvet horizon
Endless and wide
A place where the soul can’t hide

(instrumental-part)

[Verse 2]
Footprints vanish in the sand
Time slips quick
Like grains in hand
The ocean hums a lullaby
I catch a tear
Don’t know why

[Bridge]
What’s beyond the line we see
Is it freedom or mystery
I stretch my arms
I close my eyes
Velvet horizon
My heart flies

(Guitar-solo)

[Chorus]
Velvet horizon
Where dreams collide
Chasing the colors
Where we confide
Velvet horizon
Endless and wide
A place where the soul can’t hide

Velvet Horizon

Text:
Verse 1
Einstein said, “The cosmos plays it straight,
No dice games at the edge of fate.”
But here we stand, in the quantum haze,
Where rules dissolve in a particle’s gaze.
Electrons dance where no one can see,
Spinning tales of probability.

Pre-Chorus
No clockwork sky, no master plan,
Just a whisper in the shifting sand.

Chorus
God rolls the dice and laughs in the dark,
Stars flicker wild with a random spark.
Schrödinger’s cat is purring and still,
Both dead and alive, by quantum will.
We live in the blur, we breathe in between,
In the space where “is” and “isn’t” convene.

(instrumental-part)

Verse 2
No secret code, no hidden hand,
Only chance writes the map of the land.
From Delft to dreams, the answers are strange,
Reality’s rules are built to change.
Photons wink from across the void,
A signal’s path forever toyed.

Pre-Chorus
No clockwork sky, no master plan,
Just a whisper in the shifting sand.

Chorus
God rolls the dice and laughs in the dark,
Stars flicker wild with a random spark.
Schrödinger’s cat is purring and still,
Both dead and alive, by quantum will.
We live in the blur, we breathe in between,
In the space where “is” and “isn’t” convene.

(Guitar-solo)

Bridge
Somewhere out there, a coin still spins,
No one knows where the toss begins.
Einstein’s smile in the afterglow,
Saying, “Maybe the dice just roll slow.”

Final Chorus
God rolls the dice and changes the game,
Nothing out here will stay the same.
Schrödinger’s cat just tipped its head,
“Life’s both alive and already dead.”
We live in the blur, we breathe in between,
In the space where the dice fall unseen.

God Rolls the Dice

Text:
(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

Text:
[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
