Demolition Blues

“The fight between the heart and the head

Are you driven by your fiercest desires 

Whatever you do, do you stand your ground

Have you ever, ever beaten up your inner liars

 

Tell me how you feel so free

When your heart is poisoned by your enemy

Your inner tales, your inner tales are your own lies

 

And I covered my eyes 

Coz’ I’m fearful of knives

And I know what to do

It all pointed to you

I got the Demolition Blues

 

We hear the grinding of your jaw

From a million, million, million miles away

That singing in, that singing in your head will never end

Animal

“Animal is a song about nature – being out there, observing, feeling and hearing.

From a gentle breeze on the cheek to the snake’s deadly fangs sinking into your forearm, Mother Nature can be peaceful & violent just as well. Mankind disrupts the animal kingdom, and we are going to suffer the consequences sooner or later. ”

Birdsong, sound of murmuring water 

Rustling leaves in the winds of dawn 

Red sun meets the equator 

On the back of a pale brown fawn

 

Hear the lion’s roar – lion’s roar

Eyes of the wild, Eyes of the wild 

Ern claw, Animal 

Your mouth is death 

In a desert of bones

 

Long gone times of quiet nights

Whistling owl’s got no place to hide

Wild cat born in the height 

Of a battle on the mountainside 

 

Hear the lion’s roar – lion’s roar

Eyes of the wild, Eyes of the wild 

Ern claw, Animal 

Your mouth is death 

In a desert of bones

 

About time for you to hear the thunder 

See the crimson red bright lights 

Oh get out of your state of slumber 

The promise of an eternal night 

 

Animal

Eyes of the wild, Eyes of the wild 

Ern claw, Animal 

Your mouth is death 

In a desert of bones

History Of The World

“History shows us that peace is fragile, not a natural state. Death and destruction is a flaw in our nature.”

A man on his knees bows in front of a shadow 

Crawling in blood underneath an old-growth tree

Soaked to the skin his face in the ice and snow

Gently falling asleep he’s about to be free

 

A soul lost forever 

He was a good good soldier 

A last breath full of shame 

No one knows, no one knows his name

Cold truth, no reprieve 

This is the History of the World 

Another red page, no more grieve

This is the History of the World

 

He enrolled for the thrill, truly scared of dishonour

His father told him my son you’ve got this in your blood

The kid was daydreaming of far, faraway places

As Mother Earth was calling for him in her cold embrace 

 

A soul lost forever 

He was a good good soldier 

A last breath full of shame 

No one knows, no one knows his name

Cold truth, no reprieve 

This is the History of the World 

Another red page, no more grieve

This is the History of the World

 

The future’s absurd

It looks bleak and grim – bleak and grim

A World ran insane

At the edge of demise – edge of demise

Heart Of Stone

“An ode to Californian Punk Rock’n’Roll from the 90’s”

Another early morning 

Awaken by the day 

There’s someone in the bedroom I’ve never seen before

Every move’s a pain 

Sure I lost my brain 

One thing’s for sure I can’t take it anymore 

 

Well I’m sometimes high

Coz’there’s nothing down here 

Well I’m sometimes level-headed

Coz’there’s nothing down there 

 

My heart is like a cold cold ocean

It ain’t no secret babe I got a Heart of Stone 

I got a Heart of Stone

It ain’t no secret babe,

I got a Heart of Stone

 

I don’t like the neighbourhood 

No one’s got attitude 

My vision is all blurry and money’s gone for good

I wanna live like a shadow in the dark

Beat up and bruised 

I’m on my way to another town
