My Insanity 05:13
Fifteen years locked away in darkness Narcotized, anesthetized, deafened from the silence Four white walls, setting of this horror I killed two men just to see the abyss of my sanity “Lights out!” Walls are closing in! You better make me forget your name Or don´t you know what I am? Free me from you! Someday I´ll get out of this place But will not forget your face Lock up your door, you´re the first one in line! Witness me in my insanity! “You´re trapped in here forever!“ Cries a voice behind my face Wasted days in this mental maze Sanity lies far behind And again I hear them talking right behind my back: Adjust the medication, increase sedative “Lights out!” Walls are closing in! You better make me forget your name Or don´t you know what I am? Free me from you! Someday I´ll get out of this place But will not forget your face Lock up your door, you´re the first one in line! Witness me in my insanity! Trapped in this nightmare but still I can´t sleep Trapped in my own my mind with the secrets I have to keep Solo Markus Solo Simon Frantic / Phobic / Frantic and neurotic Frantic / Psychotic / Tell me, Am I brainsick? I finally forget my name but at least I´m still insane Too many years, too many pills This empty shell thrills for a Kill Lock up your door you´re the first one in line! Witness me in my insanity!

They try to define your time With numbers ,glass and gear But tell me, what do they fear? They feel the urge to control Everything that you do We are the Panthers, trapped inside a cage Lies / Lies / Lies Wake up! Don´t believe their lies! Eyes / Eyes / eyes See the hunger flashes in our eyes Pride / Pride / Pride There must be a world outside Choke upon their twisted lies Tonight the Panther dies They took all our time Can’t stop me from taking back what is mine I am the pioneer of time Yes you and me are chained up And now our air gets thin With every single grain of sand! But this sense of rotation Will become obsolete The panther masticates his old and rusty cage Lies / Lies / Lies Wake up! Don´t believe their lies! Eyes / Eyes / eyes See the hunger flashes in our eyes Pride / Pride / Pride There must be a world outside Choke upon their twisted lies They took all our time Can’t stop me from taking back what is mine I am the pioneer of time I saw a world outside But still these chains won´t break I saw the other side But this world was a bigger cage I saw a world outside But still these chains won´t break I saw the other side But in the end you can´t escape Tick Tock Your Time is up Tick Tock Slaves of the Clock Tick Tock Tick Tock

Astoria 06:12
Astoria It´s for the world to see Together Living but ain´t loving Astoria In chains but somehow free Forever On fire but ain´t burning The doubt burns deep, when my mind starts to seek A better half for me, a silent denial Between the lines, truth lies concealed But my eyes are dazed by fear Astoria It´s for the world to see Together You´re drowning while I’m smiling Astoria In chains but somehow free Forever I’m living but you`re dying A breach of trust and now the die is cast, Whether I´m right or wrong, I´m my own God Time will tell if I´ll regret my loss Or if you will in the end adorn my cross And so ten years have gone by Time seems to fade away You found what you thought was in me Somebody save us from making the same mistakes Thick Blood runs down my hands, Astoria you´re free Now you´re free Taste the blood, now you´re free Taste the blood, now you´re free Solo Simon Die, Die, Die Astoria Die, Die, Die Astoria Die, Die, Die Astoria Die, Die, Die Astoria Somebody save us!

Since I was born the people used to call me defaced But I swore to myself, I will wipe out this vicious disgrace So I summoned the devil and said: “You shall have my soul, But make me the king of all mirrors, I demand this throne” What you get/ Is what you see / Come close to me Now I´ll take your eyes / And you´ll realize / Where true beauty lies I saw the devil dance I touched my face and I felt: The lord kept his word But when I opened my eyes I saw a never ending dark After all what is beauty worth, when you can´t please yourself? I was alone in the dark until something touched my hand May I have this dance? What you get/ Is what you see / Come close to me Now that I took your eyes / I hope you realized / Where true beauty lies I saw the devil dance Dance, Dance, Dance, Dance / I´m a blinded king! Dance, Dance, Dance, Dance / Do you like to put your foot in? Solo Simon Solo Markus Solo Simon Solo Markus What you get / Is what you see / Come close to me Now that I took your eyes / I hope you realized / Where true beauty lies What you got / You can not see / come close to me Go live in peace / You handsome king / Forever in a trance I saw the devil dance

With every step you take On the path to understand society You can hear the crack of bones Of those who lie beneath Society as we know it Evolves just like a snake It´s peeling of the old skin The skin becomes a feast Death and legacy Beneath the ground the truth lies Exposed for those who understand Human life never meant to last Death and legacy This Church is build on the bodies of the nonbelievers This Bank is build on the bones of the poor This government is build on the skulls of those who fought the system What if I take a look down and someone stares back at me? Death and legacy / Pillars of hypocrisy / Death and legacy (The) Souls of those beneath us hunting me And as you breath The snake slithers forth Ready to devour all the obsolete values You can fallow her from nation to nation You can witness total indoctrination The evolution never ends Death and legacy This Church is build on the bodies of the nonbelievers This Bank is build on the bones of the poor This government is build on the skulls of those who fought the system What if I take a look down and someone stares back at me? With every step you take On the path to understand society You can hear the crack of bones Of those who lie beneath Solo Markus Death and legacy / Pillars of hypocrisy / Death and legacy (The) Souls of those beneath us hunting Death and legacy / Die! / Pillars of hypocrisy / Die! / Death and legacy / Die! (The) Souls of those beneath us hunting me

Hold on, hold on If I would die today I would say, Goodbye to those who paved my way Don´t forget that you own a part of my heart You know who you are Till Death do us part
