1. RHYTHM OF TIME

What's outside?
The beat of the nation
The stadium of Zonk
The heart of the city
The real world
Retaliation
Burning flags
The pressure of daily life
Nothing to be afraid of

We believe in the future of the human race

What's inside?
The pulsing blood
Turmoil and chaos
Noises, images
The rhythm of time
We dream of the mating season
Feel a coming tidal wave
We want to run but cannot move
'Cause we're embedded in concrete

chorus: come on

Sixty three
Who's mister X?
Get up
We live in a fairy tale
We swim along with the whales
We dream of evergreen trees
Wake up in heart-rending cries
Good morning

What's above
Desire, survival
An almighty God
Like a hanging sword
New planets to conquer


2. SOUL MANAGER

I'm the guide of the lost
I'm the friend of the weak
From underneath the cowl
I'm staring at your soul
I see it black, I see it small

I feel the weight of the sins you haul
I'm the trusting friend you need
You're the open book I read

chorus: I'm here to save you

I see you sail night and day
On a sea where the waves
Always force you back
It won't take me more than one strike
To release your soul from the cares of life
I'm your guide through the night
Through the night to the light

I see you sink deeper down
In an ocean of pain
Always force them down
You shouldn't be afraid
I'm your everlasting mate
Always force you down

A voice pierces your ears
My words enter your brain


3. DON'T CRASH

Days of no horizon
Claustrophobia
Conditioned air

Don't crash - no flowers for you
Don't crash - no regrets

Gushing waters
Forcing it down
Days stars final flicker urging on the break of dawn

Stand fast - voices screech below
Stand fast - no clemency

Panic stricken faces
Diving further down into hell

Don't crash - no flowers for you
Don't crash - no regrets

Timeless terror is taking over
Throbbing hearts and restless bones - melted into one

Stand fast - voices screech below
Stand fast - no clemency

Breath slowly fading
Partly anger - partly stress
Stand fast - air is sparse below
Stand fast - no clemency
Been detected
Losing power
Deeper down we grovel on our sweating bending knees

Don't crash - no flowers for you
Don't crash - no regrets

Last moment cries on the radio
It's so hot down here
Crushing metal bloody waters
Same faces everywhere
Now the anger is fading
Now the fight can't go on
We'll always be remembered
We'll always be dismembered

Days of no horizon...


4. IM RHYTHMUS BLEIBEN

Einatmen, ausatmen, einatmen, ausatmen
Im Rhythmus bleiben, im Rhythmus bleiben
Was soll ich tun?
Im Rhythmus bleiben, im Rhythmen bleiben

Alles was drin ist

Due / Quatro / Due

Raus! raus!


5. DSM 123 & MOLDAVIA

It flies
The U-Fly gets in your ear
The U-Fly gets to your brain
The U-Fly sticks on your nerves
Grips on your blood pressure
Drives you to more pleasure

U-Fly magic touch on your head
Down to your tips
Now start to move and dance
Now start to groove in trance

Stand up, you electronic insect
Stand up, you electronic force

No sign of mortal bite
Just keep on flying, all right!

Now, you're an electronic insect
Now use your electronic force

Blood pressure
More pleasure
It flies


6. NO SHUFFLE

There is no shuffle
There is no shuffle here
Here on the North Pole
On this quiet dome
Sunshine on crystal
And milky walls of ice
All seem so fragile
Under the polar sky

Cold in head
But warm in the heart
You could find pleasure
You could find displeasure
There is no sound here
But the rumbling waves
Of the polar sea

I know this anger burning inside of you
And I'm afraid I can feel it too
I know this anger burning inside of you
There is an ice-floe between you and me

This is the place
This is the only place
Cold in the head
Warm in the heart

There is no shuffle
There is no shuffle here
Here on the North Pole
On this quiet dome
Remember what they said
You've got to go ahead
Always ahead


7. GRIPPED BY FEAR

Recession repression regression
Shifts of scenery
And warning tremors of landslides

The sun comes down
The mountains move aside
Your kingdom slips out of your hands

Your tyranny
I was part of
Is now cracking
On every side
And your own life
Is in danger
Your empire
Is on fire

The staggering blows
Are shaking the walls
Nowhere, no place to hide this time

Flare up / Calm down
There is more sand than oil in your engine


8. NEVER STOP

(Instrumental)


9. HEADHUNTER

Freeze! Shoot to kill or die
Today he has no means, he's alone and anonymous
But written in his cells he has got the marks of the genius
I'm looking for this man to sell him to other men
To sell him to other men at ten times the price at least
I'm looking for this man who knows the rules of the game
Who's able to forget them to realize my aim
I'm looking for this man to make us rich and famous

One - You lock the target
Two - You bait the line
Three- You slowly spread the net
And four - You catch the man


10. TRAGEDY FOR YOU

With that skill that was hers alone
She drove her clutches into me
I was dumbfounded
She was hungry
She required me entirely

All that's left is here to remain
It's a dull and cruel pain
That passes the ages unaltered
Her stamp is in my heart
I still feel disemboweled
I clearly retain
A blank
The void
The sore in my soul
The mark in my heart
Her acid reign

Hot sun, global fun
Needed action, start to run

And that voice that was hers alone
Still resounds in me
She left me dislocated
Disavowed
And twitching
Her rhythm is in my heart
She inspired in me
An acute sense of treachery


11. WELCOME TO PARADISE

Hey poor, you don't have to be poor anymore
Jesus is here!
In the name of Jesus (Alleluiah!)
Feel like your life is going nowhere
Ten seconds... Standby
Jesus is the Son of God
Come in Jesus (Alleluiah!)
Oh God I'm a sinner!
I deserve to go to hell (Alleluiah!)

NO SEX until marriage!

Oh God I'm a sinner, I deserve to go to hell
The bible said you keep him out in the lie
In the name of Jesus
Jesus is the Son of God
In the name of Jesus (Alleluiah!)
Hey poor, you don't have to be poor anymore
Jesus is here! (Don't tell the devil)
Hey poor, you don't have to be Jesus!


12. PUNISH YOUR MACHINE

(Instrumental)


13. INTRO + CIRCLING OVERLAND

1-1-2029, the stars are shining bright

Nerves connected to the center, we are tied to the machine
Invisible and silent, circling overland
The planemakers designed us to outturn and outmaneuver
Intruders in the skies, intruders in our skies

1-1-2029, tonight the stars are shining bright

Backbone of the fighter force, of the defence industry,
Devoted tools of the power, warrants of the order

1-1-2029 tonight the stars are shining bright

Silicon advisers leading the way
We reach our cruising altitude
1-1-2029, West Europe, midnight
Invisible and silent, circling overland
Scanning, taping, filing, instantly checking
Every human, car and plane of the quarters we survey

Circling Overland

Circling Overland
