DEATH SONG
I am without illusion
I hear it all too clear
Aint meant as an obtrusion
I just need to vent the fear
There is no afterlife - no hell or paradise
Only the fucking force of reproduction
And our own destruction
It sucks me silly all night long
Bogarting my breath-bong
The feeling's coming on so strong
It calls for it's own song
Once mornings moaned in major
A merrier melody
But as you can hear it's all disappeared and I'm out of remedy
I used to greet the new year
Now I don't really wanna come along
There's not much music left here
Mostly feedback from this damn song
...All night long
Manhandlin' my mind-dong
The feeling's coming on so strong
And it echoes on and on
The whole world sings along
Every word that's spoken is a note in this sad song
It sucks me silly all night long
Bogarting my breath-bong
The feeling's coming on so strong
It calls for it's own song...All night long
Manhandlin' my mind-dong
All hope is lost and we're all wrong
Life is but a death-song

STRANGE CANDY
As servants of the sugar they sat frozen
A company of craving little men
By the power of persuation one was chosen
To run down to the store and back again
That was the plan
Minutes passed and they were aching, building up their expectations
Argued on how long it'd taken when the sound of sirens was wailing:
So what's in the bag boy?
Gimme me what you got! Come on, do not be shy to show
But for the love of god, what is this wicked mix?!
What were you thinking?
Though I've seen my share of sweets in my days I must say
That's some strange candy
Strange candy...
With pulses like machineguns they sat frozen
A company of trembling little men
By the power of the moment one felt chosen
To make some sort of move and rescue them
A man with a plan
A shot of whiskey to see clearer and a high-five with the mirror
To appear all unaware, he leaned out off the window wailing:
So what's in the bag boy?
What is that you got?! Who are those silly lollies for?
I mean, where's the chocolate? Where is the liquorice fish??....?
Noone understood one bit, but they all could agree:
This was strange candy
Strange candy
Peculiar pralines
Strange candy
This aint what it seems
Strange candy
Shady sugary schemes

HALLELUJAH (That godDamn doG)
Like a grain of sand in black man's land
Not far away from planet Mars
The naked ape bedaffled stands
Enchanted by the soulbending stars
The notion of mortality
Leaves him foundered on the rocks of love
In the ocean of reality
Floating only on the promise of
Salvation
So certain?
Come look behind the curtain
The emperor is naked!
Did you expect some kind of mercy - think again
He's had us from the start - We're all in vain
Hallelujah - hallelujah - hallelujah - Oh My Fraud!
Hallelujah - How he fooled ya - Cursed be that goddamn doG
And though unemployed he needs a boss
Abandoned little spaceman
One hundred thousand lightyears lost
from grasping the equation
Salvation - Schmalvation!
Sordid slaves to that sedation
The emperor is naked!
Did you expect some kind of mercy - think again
He's had us from the start - We're all in vain
Hallelujah - hallelujah - hallelujah - Oh My Fraud!
Hallelujah - How he fooled ya - Cursed be that dumb old no good goddamn doG

The Girl and the Crow

THE GIRL AND THE CROW
One cold winter's day like so many before
I sat staring into the fire
I pondered upon all the dreams I have had
Which one after one has expired
Then suddenly I saw an image
Of a girl with a wounded crow
She's running away through the forest
As fast as her body can go
She's running carried by the whispering wind
Her scrawny legs shiver and shake
She hopes and believes and she begs and she pleads
"Oh god, let it not be too late"
And the girl is so small and her hair is so light
Her cheeks are so lambently red
And the crow is so clumsy and croakingly black
And soon to be totally dead
But the girl, she's running like crazy
For the life of a dying crow
She's running for solace and safety
For all that is righteous and true
She's running with stars sparkling in her bright eyes
Her scrawny legs shiver and shake
She believes it is true
Yes, from daddy she knew
If there is life, it's never too late
I started to crumble I burst into tears
I trembled with horror and fear
Cause I knew without doubt oh as clear as can be
That the image I'd seen was me
Cause my hope is a crow deadly wounded
And I am a child on the run
Who thinks that someone can still save me
And give me the answers I want
I'm running with panic eroding my heart
My scrawny legs shiver and shake
I hope and I pray for an easier fate
Though I know it's way too late
