Mea Culpa - a manipulated mindset filled with toxic information.

Mea Culpa

(Verse 1)
In darkness deep, my gaze turns within,
Mea Culpa, my fault, a world in sin.
Climate's dance begins, a shadowy affair,
Poisoned soils, my guilt takes me there.

(Chorus)
Mea Culpa, my heart beats guilty, heavy,
Poisoned seas, the burden grows steady.
The air whispers of sickness and pain,
In chains of guilt, I stand alone in disdain.

(Verse 2)
Too full, too lazy, too dumb, the accusation rings,
Useless eaters, as darkness clings.
The Earth is bleeding, my conscience screams,
Mea Culpa, guilt wears shadowy schemes.

(Chorus)
Mea Culpa, echoes in the night,
Poisoned tears, hidden from sight.
In my reflection, guilt shatters and breaks,
The world suffocates under my dark stakes.

(Verse 3)
Guilty, a curse weaving in the heart,
Chains of responsibility tearing apart.
Seas too warm, the suffering swims,
Mea Culpa, within me, the darkness dims.

(Chorus)
Mea Culpa, a storm in the blackened space,
Poisoned future, in my dreams' embrace.
The world's weight on my shoulders bears,
In my guilt, humanity despairs.

Deutsche Übersetzung:

(Strophe 1)

 In tiefer Dunkelheit wendet sich mein Blick nach innen,
 Mea Culpa, meine Schuld, eine Welt in Sünde.
 Der Tanz des Klimas beginnt, eine schattige Angelegenheit,
 Vergiftete Böden, meine Schuld führt mich dorthin.

 (Chor)

 Mea Culpa, mein Herz schlägt schuldbewusst, schwer,
 Vergiftete Meere, die Belastung wächst stetig.
 Die Luft flüstert von Krankheit und Schmerz,
 In Ketten der Schuld stehe ich allein in Verachtung.

 (Strophe 2)

 Zu satt, zu faul, zu dumm, der Vorwurf klingt,
 Nutzlose Esser, während die Dunkelheit anhaftet.
 Die Erde blutet, mein Gewissen schreit,
 Mea Culpa, Schuldgefühle tragen dunkle Pläne.

 (Chor)

 Mea Culpa, Echos in der Nacht,
 Vergiftete Tränen, verborgen vor den Augen.
 In meinem Spiegelbild zersplittert und bricht die Schuld,
 Die Welt erstickt unter meinen dunklen Pfählen.

 (Strophe 3)

 Schuldig, ein Fluch webt im Herzen,
 Ketten der Verantwortung reißen auseinander.
 Meere zu warm, das Leiden schwimmt,
 Mea Culpa, in mir verdunkelt sich die Dunkelheit.

 (Chor)

 Mea Culpa, ein Sturm im geschwärzten Raum,
 Vergiftete Zukunft, in der Umarmung meiner Träume.
 Die Last der Welt liegt auf meinen Schultern,
 An meiner Schuld verzweifelt die Menschheit.

Mea Culpa

Dark Shadows, Fade Away From Me

Verse 1:
In the darkness, lost and alone,
But the fire within me will never be gone.
Through the shadows, I fight to break free,
For the light of strength, that belongs to me.

Chorus:
Dark shadows fade away from me,
The light of strength is with me, E Ö D E

Verse 2:
Storms may rage, but I'm not broken,
With every challenge, I'll emerge awoken.
Through the tears, through the pain,
I find my strength, ready to sustain.

Chorus:
Dark shadows fade away from me,
The light of strength is with me, E Ö D E

Verse 3:
On my journey, through highs and lows,
I remain steadfast, refuse to be enclosed.
With every step, my faith is clear,
The light of strength guides me, always near.

Chorus:
Dark shadows fade away from me,
The light of strength is with me, E Ö D E

Dark Shadows, Fade Away From Me

Wars Of Men

Verse 1:
In silent rage, they're born to fight,
Raised in shadows, blinded by might.
From tender youth, fed bitter lies,
Their innocence lost beneath cold skies.

Chorus:
Wars of men, a thunderous cry,
Echoes of pain beneath blackened sky.
Brother to brother, they turn to foes,
In wars of the oppressed, nobody knows.

Verse 2:
Minds of steel, hearts turned cold,
Driven by stories centuries old.
Former friends, now strangers in arms,
Led by masters with deceptive charms.

Chorus:
Wars of men, a cycle of pain,
Endless violence, nothing to gain.
Sons and daughters lost in the fray,
In these wars of the soul, night turns to day.

Verse 3:
Seeds of hatred sown from birth,
Bound by chains of inherited worth.
Taught to hate what they don't understand,
In the ashes of hope, blood stains the land.

Chorus:
Wars of men, consuming the light,
Blind to the truth, lost in the fight.
Till the day they break free from within,
Only then can the healing begin.

Verse 4:
Awaken now, rise from the past,
Shatter the illusions that couldn't last.
Rebuild the world with empathy's hand,
For in love and freedom, true peace stands.

Chorus:
Wars of men, a chapter to close,
Embrace the change, where empathy flows.
From shadows to light, let the journey begin,
In unity and hope, let the wars of men end.

Wars Of Men

The story is about a girl from East Berlin (former GDR) in 1992. In that time I studied at the Free University Berlin and the lectures took place at Henry Ford Building as it is shown in the photo. My dream girl studied law and attended the lectures in the left lecture hall. I studied religious studies and attended to the right lecture hall. Opposite the building was a beautiful meadow where we recovered from the challenging lectures. It was a wonderful time!

When I Fell In Love

(Refrain)
When I fell in love, on that sunny day ,
'92 in June, my heart found its way ,
A blue Corvette, a girl so free,
In her eyes, a world unseen by me.
 
(Verse 1)
On the grass, 'neath the summer sky,
Meditating on mysteries, time passing by,
Then thunder roared, a metallic gleam,
Blonde hair, blue shades, like a dream.
 
(Chorus)
Oh Cindy, from the East she came,
With the wind of change, she'd never be the same,
In a roaring Corvette, she found her thrill,
In her eyes, a story, waiting to spill.
 
(Verse 2)
Jura lecture, a rush in her stride,
"Let's grab coffee, " she said, no need to hide,
A taste of freedom, her journey untold,
From the gray of the past, to blue skies of gold.
 
(Chorus)
Oh Cindy, from the East she came,
With the wind of change, she'd never be the same,
In a roaring Corvette, she found her thrill,
In her eyes, a story, waiting to spill.
 
(Bridge)
From Berlin's walls to the American dream,
In a world reborn, her spirit did gleam,
With each adventure, a new chapter penned,
In her blue Corvette, life's road had no end.
 
(Verse 3)
Long summer nights, beneath starry skies,
In that blue machine, where passion flies,
From past to present, two worlds entwined,
In Cindy's eyes, a revolution defined.
 
(Chorus)
Oh Cindy, from the East she came,
With the wind of change, she'd never be the same,
In a roaring Corvette, she found her thrill,
In her eyes, a story, waiting to spill.
 
(Refrain)
When I fell in love, on that sunny day ,
'92 in June, my heart found its way ,
A blue Corvette, a girl so free,
In her eyes, a world unseen by me.

When I Fell In Love

The Latin phrase "Umbrae Hecata" translates to "Shadows of Hecate," invoking the ancient goddess of magic, witchcraft, and the night. This thematic choice sets the stage for a journey through the occult and the unknown, where the boundaries between reality and the supernatural blur.

From the opening notes, the music casts a spell, enveloping listeners in an atmosphere of foreboding and enchantment. The eerie melodies and haunting harmonies evoke a sense of otherworldly presence, drawing the audience deeper into the shadows.

As the song unfolds, evocative lyrics paint vivid images of arcane rituals, arcane secrets, and hidden desires. Each verse is a glimpse into a realm where the mundane meets the mystical, where the line between light and shadow is blurred.

The driving rhythm and pulsating beat propel the song forward, infusing it with a sense of urgency and intensity. It's as if the music itself is a force of nature, sweeping listeners along on a journey through the dark recesses of the mind.

"Umbrae Hecata" is more than just a song; it's an experience—a portal to a world where magic reigns supreme and the unknown beckons. With its mesmerizing melodies and evocative lyrics, it casts a spell that lingers long after the final notes fade away.

Umbrae Hecata

It's late at night by the time the show ends.
We stroll through the alleys, we only meet a lonely dog.
No more life behind the faccades.
The shutters are down. The lights are out.

The curtain has fallen. The stars have fallen from the sky.
We hear shots from far away.
The old rulers will be judged - fifty thousand in number.

The lies have exposed them.
The truth has emerged.
It's early in the morning. The air smells fresh and young.
The fog is still on the field. The redstart begins to sing.

Two trees along the way. Its leaves sparkle.
Hear what we are telling you:
Get your drums, your harpes and gather around us.

And people flocked to the trees.
Then they said: for seven thousand year you have been betrayed,
enslaved, sold all over the world.
But now the time of tribulation is over - Satan has fallen.
Shake hands. A new eon has begun. You are free.
