Hyperion
05:28
|

hyperion has fallen down
the gods of past are dead
in angry wars they smashed their crown
they wore with pride on their head
what was the sense in all that doing
why fell this world of gods to ruins
did fragile humans make them fall
all knowing and divine
aeons of guidance led to freewill
concluded by decline
or was it just the fault of time
that things like these occur
that chaos came back to the world
and everything recurs
what is the lowdown in this matter
does anyone will know it better
regardless of which truth we talk
no soothing words exist
illuminated now we walk
against the skies we raise our fist
the gift of figment and invention
made godly guidance obsolete
we even break the fourth dimension
machines dictate the new pulse-beat
we've lost our innocence with pride
and saw no need to turn the tide
hyperion has fallen deep
the gods of past are smashed
the dawn of mankind awake from sleep
was the reason why they crashed

Opinions Are On Sale
03:58
|

check your coat! lets go!
we gonna make a trip
you have to take a stand
there are some borders to define
is there something worth to know?
we gonna grab a scrip
you have to take my hand
let's watch the symptoms of decline
opinions are on sale
you have to make a choice
it's all beyond the pale
you have to raise your voice
outrageous
injustice
and no one
can stop this
the statements
and reasons
nothing else but
high treasons
of mankind
shake off
that shackle
of deadlock
and tackle
wrong prophets
vain leaders
collectors
mind readers
so unkind
check your moat! let's go!
they gonna skinny dip
before we cuff their hands
there are some demons to confine
don't you see the evil grow?
it's gonna reequip
it's starting to expand
spreading everywhere its sign
dominions will derail
you neither hear a noise
nor oversee the scale
of what the world destroys

Revolution
04:09
|

Well! Judgement day has come!
Disgrace can’t be denied
Truth is up to rise
It’s time to turn the tide!
Smash the liars’ crown!
Put your fist in their face!
Hurry! Tear the walls down!
Don’t give them a day’s grace!
It’s time to start a revolution
denouncing all the wrong ideals
I’m sure we come to the same conclusion:
Revolution!
Finally it’s oh so clear
Time was on our side
Let’s get their heads off the clouds
Surely we’re in the right
No one can stop us now
We finally take what we need
No matter what – no matter how
At last the world will be freed
It’s time to start a revolution
I’m sure we’re standing side by side
They’ll see us fighting for a final solution
Revolution!
Shoot that wrong leaders down!
Make the fools leave this town!
Don’t waste your time nor a frown!
Help the leaves turn to brown!
Against all odds we will win!
To hesitate would be a sin!
I really don’t care a pin
if you like my Re-vo-lu-tion!

is anybody out there?
is someone there outside myself?
what happens when I close my eyes?
is everything I realise
in truth?
is anybody out there?
is someone there outside my head?
will I perceive whatever holds
the world together in it's
inmost folds?
I hope that everything I do
and everything you want me to
is real!
imagine what it means to be
the only one - just fantasy
surrounds you!
I pray
that all I know is not a simple fiction
that anyone of you exists outside my mind!
I pray
that life is not a mental contradiction
that trees are falling in the woods
and so they do when no one looks
that things behind my back are real
and all my fears are no big deal
I pray!
is anybody out there?
is someone there outside my thoughts?
the world is real inside our heads
in vicious boxes we kill cats
and let them resurrect
is anybody out there?
is someone there outside my mind?
how many worlds are needed
till the one I know is treated
like it should be
I look at this - I look at that
I try to turn around to head
for nothing
and everywhere I look around
I see the world, I hear the sound
of living (is it real?)
I pray
that all I know is not a simple fiction
that anyone of you exists outside my mind!
I pray
that life is not a mental contradiction
that trees are falling in the woods
and so they do when no one looks
that things behind my back are real
and all my fears are no big deal
I pray!
is all I know and all I see
just the echo of my ego?
what is there?
what is real?
does anyone exist to know
the reason and where we go?
don't you know
what I feel?

Do You...?
04:13
|
|||
do you really know about my fears?
have you ever seen my innermost?
did you ever see my secret tears?
will you never dispel these shadows?
do you really think the end is near?
have you ever tried to turn around?
did you always see the truth so clear?
there seems not a piece of common ground.
look at me!
don’t tell me that it’s over!
turn around don’t close this door!
I never want to hear these lies again!
do you really wish to run and hide?
have you ever reached out for some more?
did you always try to turn the tide?
what was your promise standing for?
look at me!
don’t tell me that it’s over!
turn around don’t close this door!
I never want to hear these lies again!
look at me
there was a time we could laugh together
I guess these days are passed forever
I’ll never see you smile at me – again

What Happens
04:18
|
|||
a face lined from worries
a life full of sorries
a hand full of stories
again and again
a childhood neglected
not nearly protected
too early infected
with the wrong ideals
we step into light
so full of good intentions
it all seems so easy
it all seems so clear
when we arrive
there's nothing worth a mention
but everything's changing
what happens is called life
admiring glances
wildest romances
passing up chances
mistake by mistake
remorseless - no sorrow
no thought of the morrow
his eye's on the sparrow
you can't hide the stain
we step into light
so full of good intentions
it all seems so easy
it all seems so clear
when we arrive
there's nothing worth a mention
but everything's changing
what happens is called life

New World Order
04:36
|
|||
synthetic
bionic
symbiotic electronic
artificial
simulation
the real life imitation
so crappy
and phony
a vicious chip so tony
arch liars
dumb taker
immovable trust in these fakers
they’re raising cattle
don’t let them think
ready for battle
just a little wink
they’re growing brute
conditioned to nod
well-trained deaf-mute
playing all-knowing and all-seeing god
slave trader
white-slaver
acting up like the big big saver
conniving
apology
aggress with new technology
the axis
of evil
pretends to know God’s will
defining
new borders
airy trust in this new world order
they’re raising cattle
don’t let them think
ready for battle
just a little wink
they’re growing brute
conditioned to nod
well-trained deaf-mute
playing all-knowing and all-seeing god

All Eyes On You
04:50
|
|||
you are not famous
you are not mad
your world is
simple minded
you do not gad
about
you're not a freak
not a terrorist
you do not
make your profit
hand over fist
you are a
common human
with common needs
you always
try to help with
words and deeds
you are a
prototype of an average human
but they suspect you
and this is true man!
all eyes on you!
in the name of justice!
all eyes on you!
they have the right to do this!
all eyes on you!
you have to give your freedom!
all eyes on you!
that they can build their kingdom!
they promise you
a pack of lies
to gather
information
you'll pay that price
you've got to
play the game
just to be the fooled
your rights are
so violable
the court has ruled
and while you
struggle with
your paranoia
inoculated
free proforma
they always
cut your fundamental rights
so listen up
I'll lift you to new heights!
all eyes on you!
in the name of justice!
all eyes on you!
they have the right to do this!
all eyes on you!
you have to give your freedom!
all eyes on you!
that they can build their kingdom!

The Wanderer
07:11
|
|||
I am a wanderer between the worlds
between the dreams
between the thoughts
I wander and I'm wondering
about the dreams
about the thoughts
your deepest wishes give me light
your hopes do feed me day and night
your expectations spin a web
with filaments of truth
with strings so purely made
of imagination
I am a wanderer between the worlds
between the here
between the now
I wander and I'm wondering
about the here
about the now
a deep impressive scenery
the biggest fun-machinery
with colours, lights, with smell and tastes
of unknown wild dimensions
impressions of a rabbit-hole
amazing
excuse me when I have to go
when I will ask the things to know
when I will walk the bottom-line
when I will talk about decline
I am a wanderer between the stars
between the light
between the dark
I wander and I'm wondering
about the light
about the dark
no one was here – I’m on my own
discovering this world unknown
your feet do rarely break new ground
in your extinct world
I wander on a virgin way
between the you and me

The Spirit That Denies
06:37
|
|||
I guess I went insane last night
got a visit by a rabid brat
it whispered some blasphemous rumors
my mind is embittered since that
Its words till now tinkle in my mind
and its voice was so raspy and low
It sat on my chest while my uneasy sleep
I woke up and saw its eyes-glow
and I saw the world crashin’ to nothing
pure fear and just lies stayed alive
no hope will arise from the ashes
just the spirit that always denies
I guess I’m insane since that last night
the utterly worst night I spent
this brat’s ugly antic now haunts me
I’m worried to death – let it end
now visions and nightmares aggrieve me
I‘m running around trying to hide
those pictures in mind are amazing strains
no shake off and no leaving behind
and I see the world crashin‘ to nothing
pure fear and just lies stay alive
no hope will arise from the ashes
just the spirit that always denies
‘cause all that begins leads to nowhere
and should rightly to destruction run
thus nothing seems much more suspicious
than nothing were ever begun
thus all that’s called sin and destruction
- in a word as evil represent -
that’s the world of this brat and its subjects -
its very own, real element
and I see the world crashin’ to nothing
pure fear and just lies stay alive
no hope will arise from the ashes
just the spirit that always denies

microClocks Bochum, Germany
“Will microClocks become as good as Depeche Mode?“
The oh-so independent and impartial
“Bild”, Germany’s most famous tabloid paper, entitled an article about microClocks with these words some time ago. Since then, the yellow press has been obsessing about this question more than the band itself. The comparison with the celebrities from Basildon falls short… but still ennobles the band!
