Lyrics & Credits
Beyond Heaven
These are the days when I cross the sacred line,
Where shadows speak and the wind begins to sigh,
This is the laughter that burns into my skin,
I walked through where illusions fade,
I came, I saw, I prayed.
And I failed…
A forgotten truth, deep within this world.
And I change,
Beyond heaven
These are the days where the river runs deep,
Through the caverns of my mind, where shadows sleep.
I’ve danced with the storm, fallen to the flame,
Yet in every misstep,
I came, I saw, I prayed.
The weight of the world is a ghost on my skin,
As the wind whispers secrets every day**.**
Through echoes of a thousand cries,
I rise and fall beneath eternal skies.
I change,
And the stars bear witness to my fate,
I will change,
As time opens the gate.

Chocolate Park
When I met you,
it was like silver in the air,
Birds did sing a distant melody,
Mysterious minds, love doth shine bright.
I wondered why the sky turned gray.
We sang with the birds and spoke to the trees,
danced with the wind, wild and free.
We played with the creatures,
untainted and bold.
With every step,
the earth’s own song unfolded.
In and out of hiding places,
we wandered through time and space.
And the earth still weeps,
for her tears fall as rain,
forests fade, and oceans cry in pain.
In lands where shadows
doth dance and dreams align,
We found our hearts
in patterns most divine.
We sang with the birds and spoke to the trees,
danced with the wind, wild and free.
We played with the creatures,
untainted and bold.
With every step,
the earth’s own song unfolded.
In and out of hiding places,
we wandered through time and space.
And the earth still weeps,
for her tears fall as rain,
forests fade, and oceans cry in pain.

The Veil
Even when you’re with me, something new is born.
Wake up early, and then we’re glued to the phone.
I wander sadly, not knowing what to ask, trying to move,
turning back to the others, climbing up onto the roof.
I want to call you back from nowhere.
Some hide away while echoes have been spoken—
here, we’ll never stay.
In the shadow calls the echo of lost time,
Earth choked in ash and grime.
Yet strangers roam my realm;
they are shadows of the world.
Each step a whisper, every tear a cry,
But under the horizon, I’m just a fight to stay alive.
In the shadow calls the echo of lost time,
Earth choked in ash and grime.
Each step a whisper, every tear a cry,
You stand under the horizon, just a fight to stay alive.
Demonic faces, screaming, sneering,
The scent of burnt flesh in the air, endearing.
Demonic faces, screaming, laughing, sneering,
The scent of burnt flesh in the air, endearing.
Wandering in the silence, life a fleeting haze
under smog’s gray.
A glimmer of hope, lost in the storm,
breaking the norm.
Each step a whisper, every tear a cry,
I walk sadly, haunted by my quest.
Each step a whisper, every tear a cry,
I walk sadly, haunted by my quest.
In the shadow calls the echo of lost time,
Earth choked in ash and grime.
Yet strangers roam my realm;
they are shadows of the world.
Each step a whisper, every tear a cry,
But under the horizon, I’m just a fight to stay alive.
Wandering in the silence, life a fleeting haze
under smog’s gray.
A glimmer of hope, lost in the storm,
breaking the norm.
Dreams are destroyed.
I want to call you back.
Each step an echo,
every cry a song.
I want to call you back.

Alaska
It’s one ten PM,
in Alaska,
that’s where you said you’d go
to let your words melt in the snow.
One ten PM,
it feels unreal,
and I wonder what your eyes
might see, what they conceal.
Here it is night,
and through the glass,
laughter flickers
like spells that vanish as they pass.
You’ve been here before,
lost and alone.
I was confused and unaware,
touched by all those greedy hands of men.
And I want you,
I want you.
It took me a while to understand.
And I need you,
to be near you.
I’ve come so far
from where you stand.
And I want you,
I need you,
I want you.

Rubik
Shadow of the Cold War’s dread,
tensions rise and fears are fed,
A Rubik’s Cube in a child’s hand,
twisting colours yet unplanned.
Nuclear war looms overhead, a dance of nations, walk the thread.
In the corridors where leaders meet,
the stakes are high, the risks replete.
A Rubik’s Cube of strategy and strife,
where every move can alter life.
The wolf’s grin hides a deadly bite, a clown dances into the night.
In the puzzle of the cube we turn,
shifting colors, lessons to learn.
A world in chaos, a twisted design,
the clock ticks down, our warning sign.
A puppet show with strings of steel, a silent fear that we conceal.
The Cold War echoes, a ghostly encore;
Rubik’s Cube solved, but what lies in store?
A wolf in sheep’s clothing prowls unseen,
the clown’s laughter turns to a scream.

Psychonaut
I am caught in the act of a different feeling
Accelerated hours and I’m loosing time
I see you people come and go, getting stuck in their swimlane
In the rush of one‘s seconds to plan the perfect crime
I am counting backwards, I am watching you
I wait for the moment and I’m striking fast
Psychonauts walk into single file
Zebra paint on the street
Psychonauts mock, for your best of craig
Carless talk changed to song
Like the bite of a cobra I inject the venom
I steal your pace for you steal mine
I am counting backwards, I am watching you
I wait for the moment and I’m striking fast
Psychonauts walk into single file
Zebra paint on the street
Psychonauts mock, for you best of craig
Carless talk changed to song

Rainbow
I hear the rainbow’s whispered lore,
a timeless call from worlds before.
How long does liberty endure?
As long as rivers weave the pure.
Something boundless stirs the deep,
where stars and shadows freely keep.
The wind, it hums an ancient song,
through veils unseen it sweeps along.
Each spiral forms a sacred thread
of quirks untamed, of truths unsaid.
Freedom pulses, vast and strange,
a cosmic dance, an endless range.
A fleeting glow, a sacred gleam,
the fragile bridge of what may seem.
Freedom lingers, vast, unseen,
in echoes of the in-between.
Each spiral forms a sacred thread
of quirks untamed, of truths unsaid.
Freedom pulses, vast and strange,
a cosmic dance, an endless range.
In memory of my friend Mathias, „Insomnia Patient“, in peaceful love.
