Friendship (free) 03:53
FRIENDSHIP At first there is a little spark Flying from one to another heart There is a name for this curiosity It’s simply called sympathy At the beginning it’s just to accept All you need is to have respect Talk to the people and you will see Even together you will feel free And if you got the same interests Bromance doesn’t need a test It’s all about sharing a moment That’s why I want you to be my friend Let’s try to keep this forever in our lives ‘cause you give me the best advice You also listen to my problems And always try to help me solve them We run like a well-oiled machine We’re like flames and gasoline We’ve ignited a fire The blaze going higher We’ve done a lot of things And I don’t want it to stop ‘cause if my flame goes out You come and light it up To make friends, you need some trust In the end that makes friendships last And with a friend the little things Are worth more than what life brings When I think of friendship I think of all the crazy shit we did And even if we just sit around I’m glad of what I found I´m glad we share happyness and pain because this is my friendshoips gain i'm happy, that we`ve met each other my sisters and brothers from another mother It’s been a pleasure to have met you guys And it’s hard to go, because I hate goodbyes It hurts a lot, when you’re not there But deep in my heart you’re everywhere I don’t give a fuck about money and things Nothing is better than what friendship brings. We run like a well-oiled machine We’re like flames and gasoline We’ve ignited a fire The blaze going higher We’ve done a lot of things And I don’t want it to stop ‘cause if my flame goes out You come and light it up

Kings (free) 04:30
KINGS   Even one king is enough To make a nation bleed 2x So, a nation full of kings (whooa) Will make the world unfree 2x   We all just want to live like kings And look down from our high horse Own and reign over everything East, West, South and North   We all just want to rule like kings And power’s what we seek Others are just in our way On selfishness we feed   We all just want to dine like kings And pile food on our plates Half of it ends in the trash Prodigality is our trait   We all just want to play like kings And join a fancy club We always leave a mess behind Don’t care who cleans it up   Even one king is enough To make a nation bleed 2x So, a nation full of kings (whooa) Will make the world unfree 2x     We all just want to play like kings And join a fancy club We always leave a mess behind And don’t care who cleans it up   We all just want to look like kings Appearance matters most Inner beauty is for suckers We all like to boast   We all just want to eat like kings Meat three times a day We don’t wanna see, we want it cheap Mass production is the way     We have the land, the trees and plants All tied up in chains Make them bow before our might ‘cause we’re the sovereigns We’ve gone too far for way too long So far each unjust king Was overthrown, beheaded soon Or hanged on a string This is what we’ll suffer In a metaphoric way Nature’s well-deserved revenge Will be our judgement day

Still (free) 03:12
STILL   Last night I had a dream, like Martin Luther King A dream of no judgment based on the color of our skin A dream of globalization uniting all the nations Providing all with equal opportunities and education I dreamt of a planet where nature could breathe again And flowers grew on what was made a barren land by man   When I woke, we were still fighting ‘bout religion, race and dough Exploiting all our resources, like there is no tomorrow We’re still standing on a mountain of skeletons and waste We build temples for our money and still don’t feel ashamed   Last night I had a dream I made me actually believe Believe in truth and people saying what they really mean A belief in people’s empathy and everybody’s dignity We all lived in prosperity in a world of equality I believed in politicians standing up for the environment And decisions based on justice and not on an economic trend     When I woke, we were still screaming our God’s better than theirs But it was actually just all about oil, gas, fonts and shares We’re still standing on a mountain of skeletons and waste We build temples for our money and still don’t feel ashamed   Last night I had a nightmare, it made me gasp for air It included nuclear warfare and destruction everywhere A nightmare ‘bout globalization dividing all the nations And no hope for equality, prosperity or free migration I dreamt of a planet where we tortured and killed again And the waters, parks and sky were toxic from our poison   When I woke, we were still helping even people we don’t know We still fought to make a better world for the children of tomorrow We can still stand up on a mountain and be touched by what we see We build shelters for the needy, save animals and plant trees We still show love for our neighbors and stand against all kinds of haters We are compassionate and selfless and can be at our best behavior

Scared and depressed (free) 03:14
SCARED AND DEPRESSED   Shadows in my head and no one to clear them People are a huge disgrace, no good citizen Scared of living and afraid of my own race No one to put them in their place. 2x   See the clouds in my mind No light to find  People are too weak and so fucking blind (and so fucking blind) Scared of my own actions and afraid Of being too late No place (no place) to go (to go) In order to escape (in order to escape)   Darkness in my head and no one here to care People are a huge disgrace, too greedy to share Scared of loss and afraid of catastrophes It’s not enough to fight for peace   See the clouds in my mind No light to find  People are too weak And so fucking blind (and so fucking blind) Scared of my own actions and afraid Of being too late No place (no place) to go (to go) In order to escape (in order to escape)    So, I’ll go now before it’s too late    And all I did was waiting In this world of darkness to get paid  When everything just fades away So we go to the place And we go to the place Where peace has finally won

GGRG (free) 04:37
GGRG   Schau dir das mal wieder an Das sind Sachen, die ich nicht glauben kann Voll Hass, Wut, Enttäuschung und Frust Dummheit und Zorn kommt der erste Schuss   Wenn man Gott nur glauben will, Im gleichen Atemzug Sterben Menschen in Zivil Denn Hass, Wut Enttäuschung und Frust, Dummheit, Zorn wecken ihre Mördersslust.   Und dann stehen die Leute da Metzeln für ihr Volk Und nichts bleibt wie es war Denn ihr Haus, ihr Garten, Ihre Wohnung, ihre Jobs Ihre Familie, ihre Kirche wurden weggebombt   Und da liegt ein toter Mann Nicht genügend Zeit, Dass man ihn zu Grabe tragen kann Denn Krieg und Wut und Armut und Waffen Armeen und Bomben haben nichts zurückgelassen.   Wir leben in einer harten Welt Die langsam aber sicher auseinander fällt Doch mir fehlen die Ideen Wie man Ihnen zeigt, wofür es sich lohnt zu leben   Nicht für Gott und nicht für Gold, Nicht für Reichtum, nicht für Geld Sind wir auf der Welt 2x    Schau dir das mal wieder an Konzerne klau‘n uns schon den Sand Voll Gier, Zwang und Leistungsdruck Saugen sie das Meer kaputt   Wie man das nur verstehen will So viel Gier ist schon lang zu viel Voll Gier und Zwang und Leistungsdruck Machen sie die Welt korrupt   Und dann stehen die Leute da Umweltkatastrophen und keiner der es war Denn ihr Haus, ihr Garten, Ihre Wohnung, ihre Jobs, Ihre Familie von den Konzernen weggezockt   Und da liegt ein toter Mann Irgendein Chef. der nicht genug haben kann Denn die Meute, der Aufruhr, die Masse, die Menschen Sie haben ihn gefunden, um alles zu beenden   Wir leben in einer harten Welt Die langsam aber sicher auseinanderfällt Doch mir fehlen die Ideen Wie man Ihnen zeigt 3x wofür es sich lohnt zu leben   Nicht für Gott, nicht für Gold, nicht für Reichtum nicht für Geld sind wir auf der Welt 5x Nicht für Gott, nicht für Gold nicht für Reichtum sind wir auf der Welt

Human Rights (free) 03:41
HUMAN RIGHTS   Look at this little boy How proud he wears his uniform His gun is loaded But too heavy for his arms   Now it’s time for fighting All the bullets shoot like thunder and lightning All his friends are already dead Or fucked up in a hospital bed   Look at this bloody fragment here And this girl lying on the floor Her vagina has been destroyed Because she shouldn’t be a whore   A female circumcision Causes a painful inflammation No one in her family cares (about) ‘cause it’s normal she has to be proud   What the fuck are human rights Is there anyone who cares Will there ever be a change Or shall it all burst into flames   I know that you don’t give a fuck And the poor are out of luck Everyone needs to think about Shout it out – Human Rights 2x   Look at this heavy load On the shoulders of a child His back’s slowly breaking And there is no time for rest   Tobacco, fruit and cotton His parents long forgotten Pesticides instead of school How can people be so cruel?   Look at this stuffy room Filled with sewing women Working 14 hours a day But hardly able to survive One day a short circuit And a building up in smoke No way to get outside Nobody will see them choke   What the fuck are human rights Is there anyone who cares Will there ever be a change Or shall it all burst into flames   I know that you don’t give a fuck And the poor are out of luck Everyone needs to think about Shout it out – Human Rights 2x

about

This is our first EP. We recorded it ourselves and it was mastered by Hellsmell Studios.

For seven years we've been making music together and we decided to record our six favourite songs, in which we expressed our feelings about the world we live in today.
