No man's land
I walk alone on fields of chaos
There is a place to be for him for her but not for me
I dwell in lonely space
And talked to the moon and the stars
The void embraced my heart and empty shapes pass by
Sunrise on the killing fields of my first and second try
Prayers to the gods who don't even know where I am
In no man's land
I drift away into the void
Sunset on the killing fields of my first and second try
Still I'm waiting for the day when the world steps back again
Into this life of mine
Into this story of mine
Into this world of Mine
into this mine of mine
Prayers to the gods who don't even know where I am
In no man's land
I shouted at the vultures over me
To leave me here alone and alive
I condemned my own condemnation
And sinned to wash my sins away
In no man's land

Self-made Hero
You made the airplanes fly, developed the TV
You invented the turning wheel and battleman's strategy
Tell no tales
You built the pyramids and the walls of Jericho
You saved the whales and then you made the pygmies grow
Tell no tales
You'd like to be a Hero
You talk a lot and you describe the things you saw
But I think that you only had a view on the surface of it all - Hero
You never looked behind the facade of the world
And you replaced the meaning by the word - Hero.
And when a pain hits you they told to be strong
They told you not to mourn but to get along.
Tell no tales
You've to negate the hurts, the headaches and the wounds
burt your distorted mind it cannot hide the truth
Tell no tales
You'd like to be a Hero
They're fascinated of your stories and your tales
But what will happen if your real self prevails , tell me, hero.
Then you will be a man among all other men
Who laughs and cries and bleeds and doing just the same
As usual men.

Dialogue on a square metre of existence
Hello dear audience – may I call you so ?
Are you auditing ? Well, I hope so
I just wanted to go to this queer thing and see it from anear
but my great good puppet-master said "No,no"
Shook his finger and pulled me back.
You are free when your strings are cut off
the same happened when I didn't fight the sorcerer and so didn't fulfill his expectation
Pull me up and pull me down
You are free when your strings are cut off
Trying to walk by myself I stumbled and I fell
Not able to make any movements on my wooden legs
but the lord be praised, there's someone that cares for me
And pulls me back on my feet
You are free when your strings are cut off
Illusions and imagination on a square metre of existence without a horizon.
Every day is handsome - cause there is no random
You are free when your strings are cut off
- so, this is your story
- yes and it's true
- But why are you telling me all this ?
- because i thought, someone ought to know about and maybe
find a solution and help me out.....
- but they are pulling me up and pulling me down
You are free when your strings are cut off.

The Gordian Knot
From far away I hear a piano playing
But I barely notice
Because my mind is occupied with thinking about life, the universe and everything
Hiding in vast veils
Hermiting an unknown spot
You’re tied up on a Gordian knot
I am developing theories
So senseless theories. Like you.
You guardians of wisdom
You high-placed, sophisticated hypocrites

The illogical consequence
The search for the meaning of life is honoured at last
Say "Kill me"
I live for the moment and want the things I do undone tomorrow
Moving quickly to create a state of balance
Who dares, wins - a hiding-place for his fears.
Stardust - shelter me or bury me
He reduced few to less to gain more
Eliminating white means black
He cares for you that's why he punishes
Teaching you freedom of mind.
Clouded minds bear clear words
clear minds bear nothing
We have nothing in common
If you give I give back.
Love is hate, Love is good
Hate is good
Love me or hate me.
Each day in each way we trespass
The miracle whip on our back
Orphans of Orpheus
We're the prodigal heirs of Prometheus.
Conclusions - drawn from illusions
Stardust - shelter me or bury me.

Static Dances
See how the statues stand on their pedestal of tragicomical selfishness
Supposed to move only when the spell begins
When a being of flesh and blood is sacrificed before their stone-cold eyes
Just when the masses cheer upon them their strange round-dance may begin
Static Dances
those statues' shoulders are not broad enough to carry the whole world
But with every victim they grow
Getting nearer to some state of life that never becomes life itself
Just when the masses cheer upon them their strange round-dance may begin
Static Dances
They play their fake on the faithful and prey on their prayers
That gives them the power to move in ecstatic circles
Round and round it goes this painful, paradox, polite procedure
Static Dances

The Finder
I don't bleed anymore. Never again Mondophobia
Liberty is a gift to handle with care
The Phantast and the philosopher are alive
Prepared to meet the Pharao
Aaron's sister beats the drums and hits the cymbals
And the sound guides the finder
Boredom will be banned, all thoughts should be thought
All fights should be fought
Cain and Able could coincident
The essential is evident
Talk to me and I will listen - I'm the Finder
Trust in me - I will show you the way - I'm the Finder
The phantast and the philosopher....
And the sound guides the Finder.

Perpetual play

Perpetual Play
I played for kings and I played for fools
I stripped my soul for fame
To reach immortality
Was the main aim of my destiny
But real life overran me while I was fantasizing
Let the play begin may the good ones win
As they always do. There is never something new
But I'm tired of acting inthe plays of men I don't even know
And whose thoughts I do not share
I'm sick of the laughter, sick of the tears
Feelings the audience offers to me every night
For them, it's a play, for me it's life
Let the play begin, may the good ones win
As they always do, there is never something new
And when the curtain falls - behind the stage
There's no-one to see the tears that are rolling down my cheeks.

Chapter 25
When you want out - back to innocence
When your soul is no longer tenanted
Penance unabsolved - no more lives involved
Neither claims to stake, nor a choice to make
Then it's time to write a new chapter
And it's time to return back home
Back to yourself
Reality moves with the speed of light
There is no overnight sensation for you
No vanity fair.
They are protecting their lair
Also your efforts are intensified: access is denied !
and it's time to break the promises
And int's time to return back home
Back to yourself

The Dark Side
Something in me said "Do it!" and I did it
I was wrong and to be justified in no way
But I was stupid enough and sometimes resolute
Hey mother, I'll be gone now
I will not return, I won't come back home
When I spoke of my intentions, no-one listened and no-one cared
As it always was as it always would have been
No reactions in relations in between
Hey mother....
Mother if you accuse me of how the things went
And what I did with the life you gave to me
I have to say it wasn't you because I was born by myself
I struggled and I won the race against the other sperms
I was so strong, now I proved weak, so think about me what you want.
If it's pervert what I say, please forgive me.
But my dark side wants to speak
It wants to tell you of all the evil that sleeps in the depths of the inner self.
