Heart & Soul [2010 - Dead Serious CD | Farewell Vinyl]
THE CHALLENGE
I close another chapter of my life
and I discover there is more than just happiness
and realization but also fear and sorrow.
How can we appreciate our luck if we dont know the sorrow?
How can we gain realization if we dont face our fears?
Dont ask me where all my life goes, all I know is that
Ive got a heart that keeps me strong.
Its the challenge of life to cross the limits in ourselves
and to go so far, further than we ever dared to dream.
REFUGE
You smile about things that you dont understand.
What happens in your head?
You walk among the living dead..
We seek refuge..
We are five hearts who stand for something.
Something thats seethes inside, something inside.
We seek refuge..
in the things we love and struggle to keep our inner strength.
WHERE THE HEART IS
Im scared to open the door to see the hell that we have created
and to hear the chains of their addiction for success.
Tell me what went wrong! Somethings gone from our souls.
How can we feel blame? (because) we have never learnt to
appreciate the life. Can we save our world or do we watch motionless
as our world is going down in flames. And can I be washed clean from the
filth of selfishness? Or have I been stained with with this on my skin forever?
But if I see the suffering Im intented to move on and I listen to my heartbeat.
Because the truth is where the heart is..
AM I ALONE?
Have you ever felt so alone like I do inside these walls,
filled by people who should like me?
Im looking for answers but there is no reason for
the hatred path they choose.
Am I alone to bring the light back?
For ignorance, that erases all common sense,
I scream until I turn red but my words just fall
unheard the the ground.
Standing on these stages looking into empty eyes.
There is no passion inside these hearts.
Am I alone? Please show me I feel wrong!
SUFFER (& CARE)
Sometimes life feels like losing,
sometimes life drags you to the ground.
Climbing up and falling down,
there must be more to fight for.
The more you suffer the more it shows you really care!
Hold on close to the friends youve got
and keep on moving strong.
Never let hard times get the best of you.
Never stop searching for the truth!
SUMMER
The summer sun reminds me of the days when it begun.
When I found the passion, when I started to see this world
with different eyes.
Years later Im still counting the days for the summer breeze
to blow the dust off from my memories.
Its obvious that I cant relive these times but I like
to think back to the days. When we made history.
HEART & SOUL
I dont know how many times I have stood at the abyss.
But I never thought about taking another step because
my heart keeps me trying to dig out my soul of the filth
of manipulation and lies.
Without my heart - Im just flesh and bones.
Without my soul - Im just an empty body.
And without my opinions Im dead.
With Heart & Soul - Straight Edge.
ON THE ATTACK
Im in a struggle, Im in strife.
Im fucking through with this goddamn life.
Here I am and got nothing to loose.
My will to change is what I prove.
Dont tell me now whats up next,
I feel like a letter somebodys text.
I hate the role that I should fill,
I hate the role that I wont fill!
See the future now and dont look back.
This is my philosophy - Im on the attack.
But wait! There is something more.
I see some reasons that are worth living for.
I have my pride and I got my will,
so put me back on that bill.
Got my crowd, my men in the back.
I got the edge Im back on track.
ALL I NEED
I wasnt lietening anymore..
I wasnt thinking anymore..
Anger and hate defined me.
Hardness should protect me..
The whole time Ive never seen
that all I need is inside of me.
I grew older and Im sick of this circle of coldness.
Im quite sure how to live because hate creates nothing.. just pain.
I wont be ensleves by anger.
Just focus on duration!
When my destiny overpowers me, its my reincarnation.
I SAY GOODBYE
Where once was light, now darkness falls.
Where once was fire, now coldness rules.
You say goodbye, a new wave washs you away.
It makes me sad because I believed in what you said.
You said goodbye, too many times before.
Now I say goodbyse, I say "you didnt try".
So I take back whats mine.
The music and the values that guide my life.
In the end, for you, it was just a trend.
Now I say goodbye, I say "you didnt try".
Im not here to blame but no falling rain
can wash my ideals away.
DISTANCE (by Allan Reid)
I feel so far but still so close.
The times we shared - I can't let go.
Memories built with a foundation of stone.
Though we're apart, they're never gone.
Days go by with the passing of time,
But what I've learnt I know is mine.
I know now what it means to care.
Blessed by all the times we've shared.
Distance grows but still it shows
That time can not erase.
The times we cared - the strength we shared.
With common goals in sight.
The bridge we built will stand strong
No matter what flows beneath.
I know we will never forget
All the goals we've reached.
DISTANCE - takes what time gives.
DISTANCE - shows that we will live.
DISTANCE - all of our dreams not based on self.
DISTANCE - connections become our wealth.
DROWNING
A last look into your eyes and I know
there is nothing left to say.
The dust of your empty words
takes my sight, I close my eyes.
I fall into a sea of disappointment.
Drowning in silence..
I wont try to swim, I only wanna drown w
with our memories - drowning in silence.
But my heart still beats. It cuts so deep to
rebuilt my life on broken dreams.
I fall into a sea of disappointment - drowning in silence.
But I dont wanna plea for you pity.
So I ignore my tortured heart.
And every step I take, through the dark, seems so unsure.
What do I expect to find?
And one more time I realized that Im nothing without my friends.
==============================================
Lionheart
yes, I left my youth behind
but whats wrong to still believe in convictions
what protects my soul
what made me who I am
there is more behind the ink on my hand
once a boy, who tried to change
now a man, who stands unbroken
in the surf of life
Ive found shelter from this world inside my chest – lionheart
you strive for values but youre stunned by lies
of their selfish crimes
switch off the noise of this world
and learn to listen to what you got inside
piece by piece you will rise
and gain the power to cope with this life
youll find shelter from this world inside your chest
lion<3
What It Means
Im here to shout out what I believe.
but its difficult for me to break the barrier
because you pretend not to hear.
Up front you throw my words right back in my face.
Without the sense to recognize.
You consume the music but a message stay behind.
Indifference suffocates the sound you like.
We must rediscover the worth of the words.
To express the spirit and whats behind.
Words Of Value
I write these words about a town
A fever and you cant sweat it out
You try to ignore our courage to care
But we show the heartless we are still there
A town – we call it home
A scene – built by our own
You..re afraid to read between the lines?
Because words of value make you turn pale
Force To Change
How shall you pick up threads of past times?
How shall you move on when your heart begins
to realize theres no turning back?
When your world still burns?
How shall you…?
When pain goes so deep that even time cant cure.
Please, don't say that's the way it goes
Because a simple gesture revives all hope
A simple word by a friend
Because together weve got the force to change
Behind our faces, within our minds.
Ive got no reason to turn my head to look an other way.
Im free of thoughts that used that to draw me down.
So I can live my life with no regrets.
And I walk through the tunnel.
To the light at the end.
We got the force to change.
Behind our faces, within our minds
I Just Reflect
I hear their voices, I can see them stare.
It seems Im judged for honesty.
And gotta fight back these feelings.
No matter how strong.
But is that how it should be?.
I don't agree
Once I heard it..s my positive outlook
I just reflect on these words.
I just reflect on what I..ve said from the start.
So weve got to look inside.
We have to communicate.
I Ignite
You look in the mirror and all you see is a man
who tries to cover failures with hate
what happens in your mind
ignorance poisoned your sight for whats right
Im not defeated by the venom of these convictions
Free from these morbid thoughts
I ignite a cleaning flame
I burn down the bridges of your racist ways
To awake the youth, to set them free.
My Way Out
What happened to our aims?
This life is just a moment
And our existence is filled with competitions.
People to greedy to see others misery - nothing inside
We are all the same!.
I dreamt their dreams for so long until I reanimated my search.
For the real important thing – for luck.
How can you afford to wait.
When the world comes crumbling down.
Do you still believe in miracles?
from the tv screen they teach us what we need.
we all are prisoners in a cage of their visual control.
but I found my way out
I tell you what I found – I found my way out.
Straight Edge – my mental guide.
Straight Edge – cleared my sight.
Something Inside
youre goddamn right theres something inside
yes Im proud - yes Im strong
and I know this way I cant be wrong
I cant explain these feelings inside
I just know its called pride
you cant change whats in my head
Ill never give up on the edge
you turned your back and I still wont change and
the die hard youth will always remain
Love Song
they wonder why Im so strong
we belong... we got each other
so many years we..ve walked together to the fucking stars
and Im still so fucking deep in love with you
you were my first love, your will be my last
I will follow you into my grave
they wonder why I..m so strong
we belong... we got each other
so many years and I..m still so deep in love with you
youre my destiny... straight edge
Remember
I still pray for your illumination.
To the see brutality with which we kill.
Remember – its still up to you.
To end a systematic murder
unnecessary for our survival.
Put yourself in their position and (now) relish every bite.
Remember – its still up to you.
Remember – its still up to you.
To clear your mind.
Decisions Define Us
the time will come and you have no (other) choice
but to go your own way. any time, any time to build up your dreams.
any time. stand to your convictions even in the biggest desperation
you have the chance to find yourself
to find some answers
most of us arent able to contend with their failures
yes its easy to stand for something that contains no risk
decisions define us - so take the risk and stand your ground
the time is now
Lights Out
Inside yourself youre prepared for dying.
No regrets for what you do.
Damn, you look so cheap when you..re lieing.
All that shit is coming back to you.
These days were long.
But Im glad theyre done for you.
Because you built up the place.
Where youre lights will go out.
Because you cant deal with the world we share.
Youre not to blame, were all the same.
Acting like no one else is there.
Its the cold world versus you and me.
These days were long.
But Im glad theyre done for you.
Because you built up the place.
Where youre lights will go out.
Well its something that youve done before.
You erased yourself out of my heart.
Youre done but Ive got the will to move up.
Dont want to waste a word.
You turned your own lights out!.
No End In Sight
Ive lost my might to leave this behind
contend with myself I cleared up my mind
just down on my knees and pleading for help
they told me their thoughts and showed their insides
I got this two words and know that its right
so theres no remorse and no end in sight
never.
10 Letters
Some things are stronger than time and space,
Than language and origin.
I need ten letters to form a word
That keeps me alive,
That lets me survive.
One fucking word.
Ten letters – bond of trust.
Ten letters – that you know
Sometimes its damn hard to handle with me,
But a appreciate the luck that connects us
Ten letters showed me – we must sacrifice a piece of our hearts
and we will get so much back

Get Wise
I saw the news today and nothing has changed since yesterday
because war and pain still remains
tell me, can you tell me how you can sleep at night?
if thousands die, if people die?
and one more time it seems like were blinded by
the desire for our own happiness
this odyssey of humanity wont end,
not before we demand our dignity back
not before we get wise
because we must realize that peace starts at first
in the depth of our hearts.

No Escape
addictions will lead to your grave
you cant see the light through the bottom of your bottle
belive me, trust me it shines so bright and clear
you try to escape from reality
believe me, trust me you can break free
pull your head out of the mud
Our Tracks
I look back at the days that we spent together
footprints in the dust of time
Im not afraid to be alone because these memories are alive
in our hearts my friend, in our fukn hearts, my friend
bút its hard to figure out that the distance tries to cover up our tracks - our tracks
Im not afraid to be alone but promise me you wont forget
the days weve spent together
footprints in the dust of time - promise me you wont forget!
Ohh Shit
I saw you left your heart at the door
what means more than these times and the feelings that I live?
I will cry my heart out for it
dont count me out
dont stand in the back
move before Im dead
ohhh shit!
Its Up To You!
I wont take another bite
my choice is made because animals get locked up in a cage
and Ive seen their blood, tears, pain and the end in chains
I care about their cries - their cries
I wont take another bite
now you know its up to you before you take another bite
think of their fate - their fate!
Were The Few
ideals shrugged off as passing phrase
to you - just wasted days
can the past be so far and gone?
its so clear, what went wrong?
were not like you - were the few who still believe
were the few which still remain
clean the dirt from your mind
see through objective eyes
seperate the truth from the lies and realize
were not like you!
Never Fading Views
I wont hate you just because weve gone different ways
but Ill stay the same
new steps and new days
I am straight edge and my views will never fade
yes, I cant turn shit to gold but (at least) I can try to grow
in the storms of our moods till the end of my time!

Wake Up Call
I know my days are numbered
thats why I cant sit back
the clock keeps ticking
but Im still the one whos strong
with every step ahead I need some answers - why?
why did you say to me that I should grow up and accept the real life
what the fuck?
wake up
wait a second
think about it before you spread your shit
because your talk is cheap and your words are intoxicated
youll lose your mind
wait a second
think - before you spread your shit
I stand my ground and wont back down
wait a second - think about it before you spread your shit
wake up
you live a lie
For A While
yeah heres my chance to say whats right
to give back what I cant hide
yes this energy and this pride
I try to catch the light and put it deep inside
these words are my own and Ill take a stand
these words are my own - straight from my heart
see this space
through my eyes
build for a while
for eternity
thats what I wear on my chest
see this energy and this pride
see this space - that we build for a while
The Fight You Choose
I look around today and I see that the world
youve built is going down the drain
when will you realize that the fight you choose
is against yourself
youre in lack of vigor and strength
I know what I stand and proclaim what I live
see it on the back of my hands
so you cant tell me how to live
now its time to take our dreams and built them up
in hopes for a better way
From Deep Within
I try to clear my memories from the dust of the past
because I wont get caught like the rest
I know that passion and music makes me smile
and I remember when we swore sincerity
but a few years down the line I cant believe the things Ive heard
it seems that so many faces disappreared
yes - the good old days werent always good
but dont tell me "give it up"
I wont give up - I wont give in
and I wont hide my words because it starts from deep within
and I still hold on to what Ive started
You Will Feel It
I heard footsteps behind me
I turned around and saw your eyes
so strange - maybe my mind is playing tricks on me
but I dont know you and you dont know me
you say weve got no scene
one step for those who still care
and you, you take a step back for the non-belief
because you will feel it in the air
as your deceit gets paid back and its your neck
your neck
we stand still fixed to whats etched onto our souls
Im Just Older
now its time to x up our hands
to show our pride outside
and I wish that my words can show what I feel inside
yeah life is so damn short and sometimes I was so fucking sad
but I got no time to waste and this is not the place to regret
I cant forget and I wont forget whats still wrong
and whats still right
its time to show our pride
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Steps & New Days [2005 - Go Team]
500 cds made?
Empty Promisesyears have passed
so many lost their hearts over night
but I hold on tight
no, never I wont fall
years have passed
since the days of 92
Id never dreamt that Id meet somebody like me
and now here we stand awaiting a new day
and still we hold on tight.
Just A Song
hey this is just a song that tells you I cant be wrong
I know Im not alone
if we raise our fists in union
if we ride the fire
through your wicked walls
and I try to say Im sorry if I hurt the people that I love
through the times weve shared Ive learned to be a better friend
Fallen Ideals
I dont know what you think behind your false smile
and please save your breath
I dont wanna hear your damn excuses
your goals just turned to dust
first a big mouth then fallen ideals and now youre down and out
you choke on the fact that I still honour these convictions that I wear on my sleeve.. on my fucking sleeve
Never Fading Views
I wont hate you just because weve gone different ways
but Ill stay the same - new steps and new days - I am straight edge and my views will never fade
I cant turn shit into gold but I can try to grow
in the stroms of our moods till the end of my time
So Blind
youre the tool of foolish pride
there is just no truth in it
what the fuck - I cant see the difference
put a gun to your heart because i cant believe that you believe in past mistakes
narrow minded, following a dead leader
you charge others for your own failures
fuck off
shut your mouth or pull the trigger
so fuck off
youre the tool of foolish pride
there is just no truth in it
what the fuck?
I cant see a difference between black and white
we dont need your kind
Something Inside
youre goddamn right theres something inside
yes Im proud - yes Im strong
and I know this way cant be wrong
I cant explain these feelings inside
I just know its called pride
you cant change whats in my head
Ill never give up on the edge
your turned your back and still wont change but the die hard youth will always remain
Ooh Shit
I saw you left your heart at the door
what means more than these times and the feelings that I live
I will cry my heart out for it
dont count me out
dont stand in the back
move before Im dead..
oooh shit
Love Song
they wonder why Im so strong
we belong... weve got each other
so many years weve walked together to the fucking stars
and Im still so deep in love with you
you were my first love, your will be my last [love]
I will follow you into my fucking grave
they wonder why Im so strong
we belong... we got each other
so many years and Im still so deep in love with you
youre my destiny... straight edge
Like The Flames
you say Im so pissed
now take a look at yourself
maybe you are the reason
all the shit you say hurts like the flames of the bridges that youve burned
but everytime Im stronger than youll ever be
but you dont know whats inside of me
your shit
year by year
Im [growing] stronger and stronger.. than you
2 Years
2 fucking years and everything has changed
from the ocean to the sky
what went wrong in front of my eyes but Ive found what I needed
I need to breath and I hold it soo dear
now look at me
you cant kill my life
my life, my spirit
the sprit Ive got inside
now look at me
you cant kill my life
my life, my spirit
the spirit Ive got inside
you cant kill my life
Your Games
you played your games a way too long
It didnt bring me down... just made me strong!
