Midnight oil burns low on the desk

Your coat still warm from the train you missed

I fold the collar, smooth a seam

Then something glints, a silver gleam

A locket clicks open in my palm

Not my face beneath the glass calm

You promised I was the last name you’d whisper

Now her eyes stare back through the cracks in your vow

You swore this love was a flame that wouldn’t falter

But it’s ash in my hands and I don’t know how

Rain taps the pane like a stranger’s knock

I trace the curve of her painted lock

Same smile you gave me last July

Same words you swore beneath that sky

The clock forgets to mark the hour

As truth dissolves what love devoured

You promised I was the last name you’d whisper

Now her eyes stare back through the cracks in your vow

You swore this love was a flame that wouldn’t falter

But it’s ash in my hands and I don’t know how

Did you kiss her with my goodbye still on your lips?

Did you dream of me while holding her hands?

One lie dressed as a gift

You promised I was the last name you’d whisper

Now her eyes stare back through the cracks in your vow

You swore this love was a flame that wouldn’t falter

But it’s ash in my hands and I don’t know how

Ash in my hands

And I don’t know how

Sirens carve the dying air

Ash falls slow, a final prayer

The sky cracks open, blinding white

Day is erased in endless night

Idiots crowned in borrowed might

Laughing as they strike the light

No restraint, no backward glance

Ignorance ignites the only chance

Atomic Desaster, born from the blind

A nuclear grave for all mankind

From ego, lies, and hollow masters

The world collapses, Atomic Desaster

Reason drowned in flags and greed

Truth erased by the need to lead

They call it strength, they call it fate

They seal our end, they sign the date

Atomic Desaster, hear it scream

Melting steel and vaporized dreams

Cities burn rapid and faster

Reduced to dust by Atomic Desaster

Mushroom suns replace the dawn

Oceans boil, the wind is strong

Children’s names erased in flame

History ends without a name

No heaven waits, no hell below

Just fallout snow and afterglow

This wasn’t destiny or chance 

It was stupidity armed to dance

Atomic Desaster, total erase

No future left, no human race

The final fire, the last disaster

Everything dies in Atomic Desaster

Atomic Desaster, nothing survives

Burned-out skies, extinguished lives

No rebirth, no ever after

Only silence

Atomic Desaster

Curtain up, the drums of power pound

Painted smiles on a battleground

Crown of noise, a paper throne

Laugh track playing while bones are thrown

He struts the stage in a cheap disguise

Jokes like knives, lies dressed as ties

Tweets and threats, a clown’s decree

Trade wars sold as destiny

Pulls the strings with a tariffs’ chain

Calls it peace, delivers pain

Applause bought, dissent erased

A bully’s grin on a global face

He spins the wheel, he rigs the game

Says “You chose this,” but shifts the blame

Comedy And Tragedy, side by side

Laugh while nations bleed outside

Comedy And Tragedy, watch him play

Jester king with lives as pay

Comedy And Tragedy, hear the cheer

Fear in numbers, truth in tears

Ultimatums wrapped in gold

“Pay the toll or will be resold”

Handshake tight like a loaded gun

Deals get signed, nobody won

He calls it strength, calls it law

Cracks the world with a punchline jaw

Spotlight burns, the crowd obeys

Markets shake to his cabaret

He bows again, demands the roar

While locking futures at the door

Comedy And Tragedy, same old act

Smiles on cue, for costs exact

Comedy And Tragedy, tariff chains

Bought obedience, sold disdain

Comedy And Tragedy, end of play

When the curtains fall, who pays?

Lights go out, the silence screams

History cuts through smoke and schemes

No encore when the mask is torn

From a world bent, taxed, and worn

Remember this when crowns decay

The joke was loud, the price stayed.

De Mortii Nihil Nisi Bene

(Über die Toten nur Gutes)

SED SUNT EXCEPTIONES!!!

(Aber es gibt Ausnahmen!!!)

In dieser wunderschönen Welt

Geht´ s kaum um Liebe, nur um Geld

Und mancher, der hat allzu viel

Treibt mit dem Rest ein böses Spiel*

Die Grenzen von Moral  verschoben

Unangreifbarkeit wird erhoben

Man holt sich Mädchen wie ein Greif

Auch wenn die Früchte gar nicht reif

Versprechungen nach Geld aus Gier

Machen die lüsternen Herren ihr

Komm zu mir her und du kommst weit

Mach nur mal deine Beine breit

Epste?n, Epste?n,

Alles soll versteckt sein

Doch was versteckt soll sein bei Nacht

Wird rausgehängt

Die junge Dame lacht

Die Jugend kommt so schmackhaft vor

Auch wenn voll´ Falten ist der alte Tor

Der nur mit einer Zelle denkt

Die zwischen seinen Beinen hängt

Die Reichen, Großen, diese Luschen

Sind Weltmeister dann im Vertuschen

Glauben danach, kein´ Straf ´ sie trifft

Weil man sie schlau mit Geld umschifft

Epste?n, Epste?n,

Alles soll versteckt sein

Doch was die Sache eklig macht

Ist, was das Mädchen hier durchmacht

und dass sie später nicht mehr lacht

Doch leider hat die Rechnung Fehler

Vertuschung bringt dir keine Zähler

Geschwärzte Akten helfen nicht

Die Wahrheit kommt trotzdem ans Licht

Epste?n, Epste?n

Alles muß versteckt sein

Die Schuld, die schreit dich an bei Nacht

Die Hölle heiß, der Teufel lacht

Lightning scars the open sky

Stitched in pain, I’m forced alive

First breath cuts like shattered glass

I am born, and cast out fast

I open my eyes, they turn away

Fear speaks first, no words to stay

My maker stares, then breaks and runs

Disgusted by what he’s done

No arms to hold, no name to keep

Just screaming wires and sleepless grief

From my first step, the message’s clear

You don’t belong. You’re not welcome here

There’s a heart beneath the scars

Beating loud, reaching far

I feel more than you can see

I’m not your sin, I’m humanity

Frankenstein’s Creation, cursed to breathe

Built from love you wouldn’t give to me

Frankenstein’s Creation, flesh and soul

I just want someone to make me whole

I don’t want war, I don’t want pain

I just want love, is that insane?

I face the mirror, I flinch in shame

I hate the shape, I hate my face

If I can’t look, how could they?

I turn away and fade to gray

I learned your words, I learned your dreams

Read your books, your tragedies

I know what love is meant to be

It’s everything denied to me

I asked for one, just one like me

Another soul that feels, that bleeds

You heard my plea, you said no more

And sealed my fate, slammed shut the door

Frankenstein’s Creation, left to rot

A living wound you overwrought

Frankenstein’s Creation, hear me now

If I can’t love, I’ll break my vow

You made the monster you despise

By killing hope behind my eyes

You made me feel

Then took it all away

You turned your back

So I ´ll make you pay

I begged for love

You fed me hate

Now watch your god

Become your fate

I was born to share this life

Not to sharpen hate like knives

But you taught me what I am

Not your son

Your final sin

Leather and steel, hear the engines ignite

Boots on the ground, we’re born for the night

From alleyway bars to stadium lights

Raised on the riff, baptized in the fight

Fists in the air, feel the thunder collide

Patches and chains, we wear them with pride

Different tongues but the same battle cry

When the speakers explode, all borders divide

Hearts made of iron, pumping in time

One beating pulse in the bloodline of sound

No flags, no kings, just power and grind

When the first chord hits, we’re world-wide bound

Metal Armada, leather-clad storm

Sailing the world in distortion and form

Side by side, we’re loud, we’re alive

Raising the vibes, keeping spirits high

Metal Armada, never alone

From stage to street, this is our throne

We stand together, forever unscarred

United as one — Metal Armada

From Tok´yo nights to the streets of Brazil

Northern ice to the desert’s will

Different lives, but the same disease

Addicted to volume, chaos, and release

Sweat and feedback, the ritual begins

Strangers become brothers under the din

No fear in our eyes, no silence allowed

We don’t follow the world — we drown it out

The k´ick drum marches like boots in line

A million souls in a single wave

When we roar, the earth resigns

This is the faith that the outcasts crave

Metal Armada, leather-clad storm

Sailing the world in distortion and form

Side by side, we’re loud, we’re alive

Raising the vibes, keeping spirits high

Metal Armada, forged in sound

Wherever we gather, the weak are unbound

We stand together, forever unscarred

United as one — Metal Armada

No hate, no walls, just amps and fire

Unity screaming through barbed-wire choirs

When the world feels cold and torn apart

We light it up with a four-four heart

Turn it up — let the darkness flee

This armada runs on joy and electricity

So raise your horns to the endless night

We’re not just noise — we’re a force, a light

Across the seas, across every border

Marching in sound — Metal Armada

Alarm clock screams at six

Same grey road, same old tricks

Then I hear that thunder roar

Something huge outside my door

I lose my mind

Scales and teeth and eyes that shine

He kneels down, says „Get on Kid“

I just grin and scream „I DID!“

Ride the dinosaur

Tail-whip through the traffic

Hear ‘em yell some more (hey!)

Ride the dinosaur

Tiny little arms but a heart like war

Happy as a meteor

Laughing while we crash 

Through every grocery store

Tonight I’m not a bore

Tonight I get to ride the dinosaur

We stomp through the suburbs fast

Trampolines go flying past

Sprinklers spray, fun in my pockets

The mailboxes turn to metal confetti rockets

Neighbors filming

Jaws all dropped

Grandma throws the metal horns up top (yeah!)

Bosses text “You’re late again”

I reply with teeth marks on my pen

Ride the dinosaur

Tail-whip through the traffic

Hear ‘em yell some more (whoa!)

Ride the dinosaur

Tiny little arms but a heart like war

Happy as a meteor

Snack on billboards 

Like they’re candy at a fairground store

Tonight I’m not a bore

Tonight I get to ride the dinosaur

One

Two

Three

Four

Everybody loves the dinosaur

Five

Six

Seven

Eight

Chomp that homework

Crush that gate (hey!)

Bosses

Bullies

Fear

Goodnight

He just bites them out of sight

Growing up can wait till noon

There’s a lizard rocket to the moon 

(to the moon!)

Ride the dinosaur

Tail-whip through the traffic

Hear ‘em yell some more (yeah!)

Ride the dinosaur

Tiny little arms but a heart like war

Happy as a meteor

Roaring at the moon outside my bedroom door

Tomorrow back to chores

But tonight I’m gonna ride the dinosaur

Midnight ticks, the moonlight screams

Rusty needles, busted seams

You swear the mirror tells you lies

But something giggles in the night

Tiny boots on creaky floors

Scissors singing, hear the roars

While you sleep so safe and sound

Little hands are working round

It’s the stitch-witch elves tonight

Pulling fabric way too tight

Laughing as they shrink your jeans

Sabotage behind the seams

You wake up, flex, you fight the thread

“It fit last night!” — the mirror said

Blame the bread? Blame late-night snacks

NO! The elves are on attack

Buttons shaking, zippers cry

Cotton whispers “say goodbye”

Measuring tape like serpent tongues

Counting carbs in ancient runes

It’s the stitch-witch elves tonight

Pulling fabric way too tight

Laughing as they shrink your jeans

Sabotage behind the seams

You wake up, flex, you fight the thread

“It fit last night!” — the mirror said

Blame the bread? Blame late-night snacks

NO! The elves are on attack

Needle flash! THREAD TENSION HELL!

Tailored Doom YOU CANNOT SMELL!

They don’t eat, they don’t lift weights

They just tailor cruel fates

From hoodies, suits to battle vests

No size is safe, they fail the test

It’s the stitch-witch elves tonight

Pulling fabric way too tight

Laughing as they shrink your jeans

Sabotage behind the seams

You wake up, flex, you fight the thread

“It fit last night!” — the mirror said

Blame the bread? Blame late-night snacks

NO! The elves are on attack

In shadows drawn by candlelight, she breathes inside her shell

Walls of silence, stitched with dreams, a private little hell

The door is locked, the world is gone, no truth can leave a scar

She paints the dark with borrowed stars, forgets how fragile they are

She tells herself the lies feel warm, like shelter from the rain

A perfect world of porcelain, untouched by fear or pain

But every whisper in her head is trembling with doubt

There’s something knocking softly, trying to get out

If she’d look through the Window of Knowledge

Let the daylight tear through the veil

She’d see the fire, the scars, the ocean

Every truth she’s afraid to unveil

Behind the glass waits the Window of Knowledge

Where illusions shatter and fall

The world isn’t kind, the world isn’t quiet

But it’s real — more real than her walls

Her heart beats time to a ghostly song, a lullaby of fear

She hides from every broken sound she doesn’t want to hear

The mirror smiles, the room agrees, it tells her she’s okay

But the truth keeps breathing on the other side of the pane

If she’d look through the Window of Knowledge

Let the lightning open her eyes

She’d see the beauty born of chaos

And the truth beneath the lies

Behind the glass waits the Window of Knowledge

Where the brave and the broken stand

The world may burn, the world may bruise you

But it’s still beating outside her hands

The fear is a prison with velvet chains

Comfort carved out of self-made pain

One step closer, the silence breaks

One deep breath — how much can she take

The glass is thin, the night is loud

Truth is cruel, but it’s not proud

It doesn’t beg, it doesn’t pretend

It just waits…(until the end)

Lucky look through the Window of Knowledge

Let the lightning open her eyes

She’d see the beauty born of chaos

And the truth beneath the lies

Behind the glass waits the Window of Knowledge

Where the brave and the broken stand

The world may burn, the world may bruise you

But it’s still beating outside her hands
