Name: On the Edge (1) by Thoughts and Ones
Duration: 5 min 10 s
Description: Urgent and visceral, EDGE/EDGE/EDGE is a cry from the precipice of progress. It explores humanity’s obsession with pushing forward, teetering on the boundary between triumph and catastrophe. Like Icarus tasting the thrill of flight, it asks what price we are willing to pay to launch ourselves beyond what is right — and whether we can keep our balance before we fall.

Bullet For My Valentine - Your Betrayal -  Guitar Cover

"Go for Broke (Revisited)" pays homage to the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, a unit of Japanese-American soldiers in World War II who became one of the most decorated combat units in U.S. military history. The song reflects their unparalleled bravery, perseverance in the face of discrimination, and unwavering commitment to the motto that defined them: Go for Broke.

This is a rework of lyrics and music style of my earlier release Go For Broke.

[Verse 1]
They took our names, but not our pride,
From camps to warfields, side by side.
With loyalty denied at home,
They marched as ghosts in olive chrome.

Steel in stride, they held the line,
Through shattered skies and twisted spine.
Silenced sons with hearts unchained,
They fought with fire through hate ingrained.

[Pre-Chorus]
Blood and honor...
The debt was deep, but still they rose.

[Chorus]
Go for broke—ignite the flame,
Through the storm, through endless shame.
Blades of courage, forged in smoke,
The world now echoes what they spoke.
No retreat, no shame to show—
The fearless cry: Go for Broke!

[Post-Chorus]
For they stand...
Go for Broke!
For they stand...
Go for Broke!

[Verse 2]
In Vosges dark, their valor burned,
Each soul a spark where silence churned.
“Rescue the Lost!”—no breath to spare,
They stormed the fire with death laid bare.

Red stained snow where legends bled,
Their grit inscribed where angels tread.
From bloodied ground to mythic prose,
They rose like giants 'midst their foes.

[Pre-Chorus]
Hearts of steel...
Their fate was sealed, but never broke.

[Chorus]
Go for broke—ignite the flame,
Through the storm, through endless shame.
Blades of courage, forged in smoke,
The world now echoes what they spoke.
No retreat, no shame to show—
The fearless cry: Go for Broke!

[Post-Chorus]
For they stand...
Go for Broke!
For they stand...
Go for Broke!

[Bridge]
Through fire and frost, they bore the name,
Their country blind, their duty flame.
Denied at home, but not by fate—
Their honor built a stronger state.

[Breakdown]
"No fear. No doubt. No turning back.
Through death and ash—we lead the attack!"

GO... FOR... BROKE!

[Extended Final Chorus]
Go for broke—ignite the flame,
Through the storm, through endless shame.
Blades of courage, forged in smoke,
The world now echoes what they spoke.
No retreat, no shame to show—
The fearless cry: Go for Broke!

[Outro]
Through fire and blood, their spirit spoke...
GO... FOR... BROKE!
No fear. No doubt. No turning back.
Their legacy: Go for Broke.

Marked In Red

A good Advice

In den dunkelsten Stunden, wenn der Sturm tobt und jede Hoffnung zu erlöschen scheint, entfacht ein Funken, ein Herz, das gegen die Kälte schlägt. Hagel und Herz ist mehr als ein Album. Es ist eine Reise durch Verzweiflung und Schmerz hin zu Mut, Liebe und innerer Stärke. Jeder Song ist ein Schrei aus der Tiefe, ein Leuchten in der Nacht, ein Versprechen, dass selbst in den schwärzesten Zeiten das Licht dich finden kann.

Kommentar von Nicolas Maschke:
„Etwaige Hoffnungslosigkeiten möchte ich hier nun zum Ausdruck bringen. Vielleicht versteht der ein oder andere meine Zeilen und Songs so gut – dann fühl ich mich nicht mehr allein.“

Nur Du feat. Emilia Mueller

Power of the Gavel

An anthem forged for every survivor who’s been silenced, broken down, or told they weren’t enough. It’s for the ones who found strength in their scars and the courage to rise when the world tried to keep them down.

With raw guitars, pounding drums, and vocals that burn with fire and defiance, Daughters of Ruin channel the voice of every fighter who has turned pain into power. This track is dedicated to survivors of domestic abuse — a reminder that your story doesn’t end in ruin. You are not what they tried to take from you. You are what you’ve become: unshakable, unstoppable, unbroken.

Turn it up loud. Let it roar. This is your song.
