Show them what you can do
Then they won't ignore you

March 2 3 4
Come on!

We all know why it's hard to take sides
When words are used as tools of war
We always have to look at the face in the mirror
When the fight is done, you are your own judge

Boycott - Civil disobedience
Protest - Civil disobedience

Come on!

Politicians use unfair tactics
To scare the people with convenient lies
They want two sides to go against each other
To make us pick the side they want

Boycott - Civil disobedience
Protest - Civil disobedience

If you feed the dying fire of past unrest
The healing (?) and wars begin
We shouldn't take sides, we should fight the source
And the power is tainted, the victim is you

March 2 3 4

Boycott - Civil disobedience
Protest - Civil disobedience

"Who are you?"
"I am what you desire."
"I have been damaged. Damaged people are dangerous. Survival makes them so. They have no pity. They know that others can survive as they do."

The Damaged People

"Sleep... a kind of death, perhaps?"

Like a man, alone, sitting on the bench
Invisible to us all
Like the village idiot who made us laugh
Until he raped a girl behind the bike shed
Like the 8-year-old boy walking to the park
To find his mom because the fridge is empty
Again

The Damaged People

Like the dead man on the second floor
No one noticed he was gone until the smell came
Like the woman at the station going through the trash
While we try our best to ignore her
Like the Russian girl who was promised good work
But the only job she was forced to do
Was to fuck you for money

The Damaged People

Like the woman selling her body each day
To get the heroin her body needs
Like the little girl ripped from her family
Because her daddy sold pictures of her
Like the dying man fighting for his life
Trying to win just another (?)
Like the gay teenager killing himself
Because his parents told him what the world does to faggots

Like the world leaders getting high on power
I wonder if they really give a damn
About the millions of people running from a war
A war they never asked for

"Who are you?"
"I am what you desire."
"I have been damaged. Damaged people are dangerous."

The Damaged People

"My life, my honor, my reasoning,
are tonight all at your mercy.
If you fail me, I am lost."

When blood runs dark - Tear out my heart
When blood runs dark - My love runs out

Ask me if I want you back
Turn back the time and I might
"Never alone," you told me
Always with you I was

Run like the weasel you are
Tear down the bridges you cross
Jump off the rooftops you see
Stop when you know where I am

When blood runs dark - Tear out my heart
When blood runs dark - My love runs out

"You might have charged
your conscience with my death,
or the shipwreck of my reasoning.
Serve me, and save me."

Hide like the hunter you are
Sneak up behind me, my love
Let me know what you will give
If you want me to stay

I'll give you what you wanted
My love was not a pact
Walk now towards your freedom
Heal all my broken bones

When blood runs dark - Tear out my heart
When blood runs dark - My love runs out

"Serve me, and save me."

Turn against your master
Bite until you taste blood
Make him feel your anger
Bite until you've had enough

Cold as a winter storm you entered
What you thought was a warm embrace
You never saw the hidden weapon
You didn't try when I ripped your heart apart

Dead as a saint (?) Heaven
You will show me how you loved
I never feed on fake emotions
And evil looked too good on you

Turn against your master
Bite until you taste blood
Make him feel your anger
Bite until you've had enough

You never found the witch inside me
If you ever did, I would be lost
I saw you build the fire for me
But hidden witches can't be burned

Bitter as a cheated lover
I will try to love again
Sweet is the taste of my revenge
Never trust a hunter of your soul

Turn against your master
Bite until you taste blood
Make him feel your anger
Bite until you've had enough

Bite until you taste his blood
Bite until you've had enough
Bite until his heart gives up
Bite until you want to stop

Bite

Burning barricades

Proud they stood on burning barricades
Underground warriors without a home
Molotov cocktails flying through the air
That they turned their hearts to stone

Everyone saw the police brutality
Everyone saw the bleeding kids
Everyone knew that this would happen
Everyone knew it could be stopped

Burning barricades

A city like that knows it was wrong
A city can't keep them down for long
A city like that will bleed again
Copenhagen, feel their pain

It's sad to see that no one cared
Until the tear gas filled the air

Burning barricades

If you give minorities shelter
You will see a culture bloom
If you take the shelter down
You will see a culture's doom

Copenhagen took their house
Copenhagen threw them out
Copenhagen lost that day
Copenhagen had to pay

Burning barricades

Our house in the middle of the street

"Lemme tell you...
You, you, you may be all...
Bright lights on the outside,
But inside, you're damaged,
you're broken and bruised!"

I don't want it, it's not good enough
I don't need this crap you dump on me
All this waste is taking up the space
I was saving for my soul
Get it away from me, get it away from me
Make it go away, make it go away

Going nowhere - Faster than the speed of light
Going nowhere - All the creeps are out of sight
Going nowhere - No one here to put it right
Going nowhere - If I crush it, it's tonight(?)

I was one of them, wanted this and that
My life still was fucked so bad
Got to have a new one, got to have a bigger one
Got to have a shiny one, gimme all the fast ones
Gimme all the good ones, gimme more more more
Gimme more more, gimme more more more

Going nowhere - Faster than the speed of light
Going nowhere - All the creeps are out of sight
Going nowhere - No one here to put it right
Going nowhere - If I crush it, it's tonight(?)

We dig bigger holes but there isn't room
For the crap we throw away
So we dig the holes for our own graves
We will rest in piles of trash
Get it away from me, get it away from me
Make it go away, make it go away

Going nowhere - Faster than the speed of light
Going nowhere - All the creeps are out of sight
Going nowhere - No one here to put it right
Going nowhere - If I crush it, it's tonight(?)

Going nowhere
Gimme more more more

I watch the people passing by
They all seem to run away from their mistakes
I faced all my mistakes today
It felt like being boiled in my own fat

I said I'm sorry

Some say it's better to move ahead
Then you won't have to face the truth today
But mine was filling me up inside
If I didn't get them out, I would explode

I said I'm sorry

I know I sound a little weak
I think I'm doing this to save myself
I want forgiveness from all of them
I need to find them all to say I'm sorry

I said I'm sorry

Pissing on my territory

Who wants to come with me
To my street, to my street
Let me show you what I got
On my street, on my street

Who wants to smell the shit
On my street, on my street
I will show you misery
On my street, on my street

Pissing on my territory

The cops don't wanna come
To my street, to my street
All the scum is moving in
On my street, on my street

Politicians turn their back
On my street, on my street
All they do is rent the whores
On my street, on my street

Pissing on my territory

It hurts doesn't it
It hurts doesn't it
It hurts doesn't it
The pain is yours to keep, my friend

I don't want to listen to you
Don't you want to get involved
They informed you in their way
Told you what you could expect

It hurts doesn't it
It hurts doesn't it
It hurts doesn't it
The pain is yours to keep, my friend

You'd do anything for money
You don't see yourself as one
It can only get you down
It can never make them stop

It hurts doesn't it
It hurts doesn't it
It hurts doesn't it
The pain is yours to keep, my friend

Money makes the pain go away
Money makes the shame go away

Hurting them is not the answer
Killing them would not be fair
Let them be and live your life
The pain will stay with them, my friend

It's nice isn't it
It's nice isn't it
It's nice isn't it
So nice isn't it
The pain is theirs to keep, my friend

It hurts doesn't it
It hurts doesn't it
It hurts doesn't it
The pain is yours to keep, my friend

It hurts doesn't it

Lohn! Arbeit!

Mein Muskeln sich verschoenern
Sehen sterlen schweiss fuehlen
Schmutzesam drecksam Bauerarbeit
Schwarz und all Bauerlohn

Ah-aho! Ah-aho!

Lohn! Arbeit!

Mein Muskeln sich verschoenern
Sehen sterlen schweiss fuehlen
Schmutzesam drecksam Bauerarbeit
Schwarz und all Bauerlohn

Ah-aho! Ah-aho!

Work, work, work, true work!
Pain, pain, pain, sweet pain!

Join the rhythm of machines
Feel the power while you learn
Join the rhythm of machines
Sweat and pain is all you earn

Ah-aho! Ah-aho!

Work, work, work, true work!
Pain, pain, pain, sweet pain!

Lohn! Arbeit!

his kiss was like a snakebite
like lovers in a fist fight
his kiss was like a snakebite
like lovers in a fist fight

his kiss was like a snakebite
the venom lasted all night
his kiss was like a snakebite
the ropes were never too tight

he moves so slowly his eyes are almost closed
a big black silhouette his needs are all exposed
no room for talking just gain soulful lust
no room for loving attraction has no cost

i want to follow, i've got to let him sense
that i am willing and waiting in suspense
so big and strong i want to have his body
just tell me lies no need to know your story

his kiss was like a snakebite
the venom lasted all night
his kiss was like a snakebite
the ropes were never too tight
his kiss was like a snakebite - snakebite
the venom lasted all night - snakebite
his kiss was like a snakebite - snakebite
the ropes were never too tight - snakebite

finally he turns i catch his glance
its now or never i've got to take a chance
i move towards him he doesn't move away
no words are spoken, the hunter has preyed

we look like lovers but this isn't love
we're total strangers with the same goal
after the passion we just walk away
no words are spoken, the hunter has preyed

his kiss was like a snakebite
the venom lasted all night
his kiss was like a snakebite
the ropes were never too tight
his kiss was like a snakebite - snakebite
the venom lasted all night - snakebite
his kiss was like a snakebite - snakebite
the ropes were never too tight - snakebite
his kiss was like a snakebite
like lovers in a fist fight
his kiss was like a snakebite
like lovers in a fist fight

we look like lovers [x8]

he moves so slowly his eyes are almost closed
a big black silhouette his needs are all exposed
no room for talking just gain soulful lust
no room for loving attraction has no cost

his kiss was like a snakebite
the venom lasted all night
his kiss was like a snakebite
the ropes were never too tight
his kiss was like a snakebite
the venom lasted all night
his kiss was like a snakebite
the ropes were never too tight
his kiss was like a snakebite
the venom lasted all night
his kiss was like a snakebite
the ropes were never too tight

snakebite [x8]

we look like lovers but this isn't love
we're total strangers with the same goal
after the passion we just walk away
no words are spoken, the hunter has preyed

we look like lovers [x12]
