She was blind
After all those years
She sees herself for the first time
She was deaf
After closing her ears
She hears this world
She was mute
After all this time
She can hear herself screaming
She was lamed
After being held captive
She walks free
What if we could just break free
From blindly following traditions
What if we would use our reason
To question everything we’re told
We’ve learned so much but we know so little
We do so much but we feel so little
We’ve designed technology too much too complex to control
But we’re still not able to walk on our own two feet
What about challenging religion, belief, systems and ideologies
Maybe then, we’d be able to watch the fucking crutches rot
And finally be free
She was blind
After all those years
She sees herself for the first time
She was deaf
After closing her ears
She hears this world
She was mute
After all this time
She can hear herself screaming
She was lamed
After being held captive
She walks into a free life
She walks free

Sometimes I’m fucking afraid
When fear takes over
Brings me to my knees
It’s the hand of death driving me mad
Omnipresent, close to everyone of us
Always waiting to grab us, take us away
What more is death
Than the end of being
The end of our existence?
Dear death, I love life
Have mercy on me
And the ones I hold dear
Give me time to make my life more
Than a grain of sand, lost on a beach
On my last day
Let me look at a beautiful horizon
And if death is the end
Let it come with the loudest song I know
Sometimes it makes me shiver
To think about the day
My breath and heartbeat is forever taken away
It’s the great unknown
Keeping me awake at night
There’s a hopeful vision
Of souls that can’t die
Of being one with nature again
Of being one with nature again
When I’m close to the edge
Enable me to enjoy
My beloved starlit sky
One last time
When I’m close to the edge
Enable me to enjoy
My beloved starlit sky
One last time

I hardly feel the sun
And the nights have never felt so long
My heart, a blazing gun
Like a distant reminder of the days I was strong
I know I’ve made mistakes
But guess, I’ve paid my dues
I’ve created cracks and aches
Slave to your distance, so much longing for embrace
Seems I don’t have what it takes
Masquerade for your smile, just for a glimpse of your eyes
Would you believe me if I told you my thoughts were my coffin?
If I told you, I saw your face in the azure autumn’s sky?
What if I told you, you could save me from myself?
Slave to your distance, so much longing for embrace
I would love to love you if I was someone else

Die Augen geöffnet
Wo Ignoranz zuhause ist
Im Haus der Verblendung
Wo Geschichte geleugnet wird
Abgelenkt vom Alltag
Das ist der Weg der Macht
So sind Millionen gestorben
Unsre Erde zum Friedhof gemacht
Bis zu meinem letzten Tag
Werd ich in eure Augen sehn
Augen voller Blindheit
Bis ins Mark voll von Hass und Gewalt
Ich sags in eurer Sprache
Damit ihr mich versteht
Ich hasse eure Dummheit, Feigheit und Ignoranz
Was war, kann wieder geschehn
Kein Vergeben, kein Vergessen
Bis zu meinem letzten Tag
Werd ich in eure Augen sehn
Augen voller Blindheit
Bis ins Mark voll von Hass und Gewalt
Für immer gegen euch
Bis meine Stimme schweigt
Im Sinne der Millionen, die dunkle Geschichte sind
Für immer gegen euch
Bis meine Stimme schweigt
Im Sinne der Millionen, die dunkle Geschichte sind
