White Rabbit
04:09
|
|||
|
come on and join me on a trip tonight
and let's get lost in time and space
we'll travel half around the universe
we'll leave this world without a trace
there are a million ways to have some fun
who can predict the things we'll see
we'll ride into the darkness at a furious rate
I don't know when we come back
I don't know if we come back
I don't know how we live on - how we go on
but this may be the fee
never look back
tonight we leave without a sorrow
tonight we live without tomorrow
never look back
tonight we're here to break the habit
tonight we follow the white rabbit
come on and join me on a trip tonight
and let's get stranded somewhere else
no hidden catch - no strings attached
no guarentees - no belts
we have to dive into a massive black hole
not afraid of what occurs
we'll slip through every next event horizon
facing horrible monsters
some kind of epic adventures
we may discover a new life - recover an old life
or maybe we must lift a curse
never look back
tonight we leave without a sorrow
tonight we live without tomorrow
never look back
tonight we're here to break the habit
tonight we follow the white rabbit

Soon Before Sundown
05:46
|
|||
|
soon before sundown
all shadows deform
dwarfs become giants
landscapes transform
goldpainted faces
adorable pretty
seductive ideas
enticing witty
soon before sundown
even the tiniest pebble
has a rock in its shadow
so brassbound and rebel
and the beauty of fading
outshines the danger
in face golden sunlight
in shadow a stranger
here at the borderline
somewhere in time and space
a throne of light
among the darkness
a harborage of grace
here at the borderline
somewhere in nomansland
between the bright light
and the darkness
this is where I stand
soon before sundown
the creatures of night
wait till the darkness
in lairs of despite
the glow in their eyes
just an evil reflection
of beautiful sunlight
stone-cold perfection
soon before sundown
they groan and they moan
impatient and restless
with a view to the throne
where light has gone rather
is all that you hear
spitting and growling
a spawn of your fear

Love's End
04:16
|
|||
|
when all love has come to an end
there's nothing to live for
when all hope irrevocably descends
into neverchanging facts
when all trust has gone and no friend
is willing to give more
tell me how could we go on like this
without changing these facts
blindness
will never be the remedy
kindness
instead of all the jealousy
mindless
to carry on this revelry
so let's get started
lion-hearted
willing to revive departed
integrity
when all words are spoken and truth
will hurt and won't ease you
when all soothing just have the effect
to cry and to despair
when the fear will destroy all your dreams
and anguish just teases you
while your shoulders are slightly too weak
for the burden you bear
destiny
is nothing what we understand
heavily
to trust an unknown high command
endlessly
we try to reach the promised land
we're so afflicted
with constricted
so called fate with its predicted
clarity

The Edge
04:23
|
|||
|
you
you put me on a stand - you made me bigger than life
now watch me falling while you comprehend the truth
you
you realize I'm not the man you recognize
you understand now what a fraud I've been
I'm telling lies
I'm acting cruel
and something dies
inside this fool
this fool I've been - this fool that I am still
attempts in vain
to turn the tide
I go insane
I cannot hide
I question if it's just a matter of free will
this is the edge!
should I jump or should I turn?
this is the edge!
should I stay stolid? Am I able to learn?
this is the edge!
you
you thought you know me - now you see your epic fault
and now it's time to face the oh so cheerless truth
you
you actualize that we were drowning in our lies
you cannot change the facts - there is nothing left to say
I can't regret
the things I've done
and I will let
you come undone
you don't deserve what I must do to you
there is no need
for you to fight
that awkward seed
has grown inside
I'm sure it's hard for you to understand
this is the edge!
should I jump or should I turn?
this is the edge!
should I stay stolid? Am I able to learn?
this is the edge!

Here I Am
04:46
|
|||
|
here I am
still standing at my feet
still proud to be alive
accepting my defeat
here I am
well armed to bear the blame
ready to revive
to shake off all the shame
it's not a question of guilt
it's not to find a way around
there is a lot to be rebuilt
to bring about a rebound
here I am
in peace with all my deeds
to reconcile the past
to recognize my needs
here I am
still standing at the edge
it took much time but now
I am finally here to fledge
it's just a question of faith
I'm here to claim my absolution
please help dispel my wraith
before you come to your conclusion
here I am
to fight the brawl in me
to sacrifice my life
to pay my toll and fee
here I am
to change my point of view
redemption is all I need
I know it's sad but true
and now forget what i have done
forgive me all my sin
remission is what I truely need
to restart all - to let my life begin

Life Is Grim
03:29
|
|||
|
life is grim
on the galactic rim
a struggle to survive
life is grim
on the galactic rim
a fight to stay alive
eat or get eaten
day by day
beat or get beaten
fray by fray
eternally
the neverending story
eternally
of life's eternal glory
eternally
a fragile everlast
it all began
on the galactic rim
so much far away in the past
life is grim
on the galactic rim
a descent into hell
life is grim
on the galactic rim
but beautiful as well
choose or refuse one
day by day
win some and lose some
fray by fray
eternally
the neverending story
eternally
of life's eternal glory
eternally
a fragile everlast
it all began
on the galactic rim
so much far away in the past

Confession
03:46
|
|||
|
I always tried to be
the man I used to see
the man I should have been right from the start
I promised you the world
with every single word
I really tried my best - but it's so hard
you don't know anything 'bout me!
you know everything but me!
I promised you the stars
but now it's just a farce
Believe me I regret it to the hilt
whatever you adore
can't take it anymore
I must confess I'm free of all but guilt
you don't know anything 'bout me!
you know everything but me!

Nothing But A Thought
04:40
|
|||
|
you're nothing but a thought now
appearing in my dreams
an angel that will be released
intangible but beautiful
you're nothing but a wish now
not ready as it seems
to wait for you is beyond words
I know you will be wonderful
you'll think I put the moon right
onto the sparkling sky
between the stars that twinkle
to give you a guiding light
I'm curious to meet you
to feel your beating heart
won't hestitate to pay my toll
for you my little piece of art
there is a galaxy waiting
so full of luxuries
a universe ceaseless inflating
by a million memories
there is a galaxy waiting
from my special point of view
a universe ceaseless inflating
it was all just made for you
I do not even know you but
I'm sure you'll be divine
you're gonna be adorable
my very little piece of mine
I'd wait for you a thousand years
protect your world from harm
your innocence my holiness
would die to keep your fragileness
there is a galaxy waiting
so full of luxuries
a universe ceaseless inflating
by a million memories
there is a galaxy waiting
from my special point of view
a universe ceaseless inflating
it was all just made for you

To A Friend
04:07
|
|||
|
I'm glad to have you by my side
we could take the world by storm tonight
we are one but we are not the same
just look what we were yesterdays
and what we now became
I'm sure we're gonna change the world
and this will surely last
let's cast a glance into the future
a glance into the past
I don't know exactly who we are
and what we really want
I only know that we could leave
some footprints in the sand
let's go this way together
try to find out if it ends
we've come so far
but this might be the start
the wonders of the world are waiting
just for you and me
let's shake the hands
like good old friends
and try to find out where it ends
and promise me we'll never be apart
I'm proud that I can call you a friend
we're here for sure - from now on to the end
we share our minds - we share our thoughts
we know each other - often
we don't need to say a word
sometimes it's us against the world
it's us against a storm
we used to be more different
we don't need to be conform
I don't know exactly who we are
and maybe we are wrong
I only know that when we are together
we are strong
let's go this way together
try to find out if it ends
we've come so far
but this might be the start
the wonders of the world are waiting
just for you and me
let's shake the hands
like good old friends
and try to find out where it ends
and promise me we'll never be apart

Raptor
03:55
|
|||
|
I see you walking
hear you talking
but you don't know
that I'm stalking you!
never hailing
always failing
and you don't know
that I'm trailing You!
I follow you
donët ask for reasons
like swallows to the changing seasons
like shadows caused by light in darkest night
a beast of prey
right on the hunt
will cross your way
will leave you stunned
will leave you breathless - hunted like a stag
run! run! run!
you don't have to
run! run! run!
you don't need to
run! run! run!
I will catch you anyway!
never touching
always watching
but you don't know
that I’m catching you!
I see you moving
hear you grooving
still don't know
how I’m soothing you!
I am not obsessed
more like a hungry raptor
no need to confess
just follow the vector
of fate thatës s written in the stars above
call me a raider
with plenty of passion
a gentle invader
a bit out of fashion
so watch out for the shadows in the dark
run! run! run!
you don't have to
run! run! run!
you don't need to
run! run! run!
I will catch you anyhow!

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!
