DEMONS
(Music & Lyrics by Daniel Reiß)
in a small church a boy stared at the organ
strange forces of black seemed to draw him
the old priest saw the boy standing there
he felt his attraction and told him:
“music is a powerful tool
it can create and destroy
or open pathways unknown
do you wanna learn how to play?“
so he started to play
got carried away
drawn to endeavor
the path he would follow forever
as the priest died the boy took custody
he found the dungeon underneath the old bell
ancient scripts about an old melody
that opens the gateways to hell
he grew a young man himself
musician from head to toe
mighty composer that tries to find out
how the melody goes
he started to play
got carried away
drawn to endeavor
the path he would follow forever
he grew old with his obsession
he went to Rome to a certain ancient crypt
he found scores written on a piece of human flesh
but then the walls of the crypt collapsed
(solo: Gumo)
he decided not to die
there was a tune in his head
he built a tentative carillon
of the bones of the dead
and he started to play
got carried away
drawn to endeavor
the path he would follow forever
forever!

DEADLINE
(Music & Lyrics by Daniel Reiß)
your deadline has passed and I know your address
seems you really thought you'll get away with all this
your face looks retarded as you're facing the man
that'll make your scars bleed forever - I'll do the best I can
deadline
you'll get what you deserve
deadline
a young man's losing his nerve
a running man, now suddenly you're fast?
a shot in your knee - I'll love to make this moment last
your face looks retarded as there runs blood from your nose
I'll make your scars bleed forever - I'll rip the nails from your toes
deadline
you'll get what you deserve
deadline
a young man's losing his nerve
(solo: Gumo)
a soul that is broken is all that remains
but I'll let you live so you can remember this day
deadline
you'll get what you deserve
deadline
a young man's losing his nerve

MAROONED
(Music & Lyrics by Daniel Reiß)
stranded out here, surrounded by black
there's alien forces that smell human flesh
energy's hostile, tentacles enmesh
I won't back down as panic attacks
marooned – mama, I'm sorry
marooned – got lost halfway to glory
marooned – mama, I'm sorry
marooned – got lost halfway to glory
red eyes are staring, blood spills from my scars
my weapon's falling out of my hands again
twilight of memories – I'm staring at the stars
forgot what I came for, but I know how it ends
marooned – mama, I'm sorry
marooned – got lost halfway to glory
marooned – mama, I'm sorry
marooned – got lost halfway to glory
(solo: Gumo)
marooned – mama, I'm sorry
marooned – got lost halfway to glory
marooned – mama, I'm sorry
marooned – got lost halfway to glory

BLOODBROTHERS
(Music by Hubi Hofmann | Lyrics by Daniel Reiß)
(solo: Fuck)
rough skin - true king among mortals
dark eyes - many died by his blade
sweet days of mercy turn cold
he is back home from a bloody crusade
last night he killed his own mother
he thought she was too weak to reign
blood boils since he is your brother
two of the same blood like Abel and Cain
they say the legends are true
he is the child of a king
inherited the blade of his father
baptized in blood in a fiery ring
since then every following night
someone in his family died
bloodbrother! bloodbrother!
better beware of the tide
he is in love with your daughter
she lives on the westside of town
he is addicted to torture and slaughter
got the right of a king to grant her a crown
beware 'cause he chose her tonight
still holdin' on to old habits of culture
she has to please her king till the light of dawn
shall claim expiation through torture
they say the legends are true
he is the child of a king
inherited the blade of his father
baptized in blood in a fiery ring
since then every following night
someone in his family died
bloodbrother! bloodbrother!
better beware of the tide
(lead: Fuck)
your daughter chose to hide at your place
at noon his men came to claim her
with laughter, they say, she will taste
from the chalice of lust of your maggoty brother
rough slash, now there's blood on the wall
his cowardly men die like flies by your blade
moment of truth as he enters the hall
he screams “brother, let us fulfill our fate!“
they say the legends are true
he is the child of a king
inherited the blade of his father
baptized in blood in a fiery ring
since then every following night
someone in his family died
bloodbrother! bloodbrother!
better beware of the tide
bloodbrothers!
bloodbrothers!

THE KILLING JOKE
(Music & Lyrics by Daniel Reiß)
there's darkness all around the skyscrapers so high
the whole night I've been waiting to see you flyin' by
I knew that you would come
my present's just too sweet
you'll crush me by surprise
unaware that I will cheat
your terrifying visions remain hazy
a broken jester's killing joke awaits you
I don't hate you 'cause I'm crazy
I am crazy 'cause I hate you
(solo: Gumo)
all those years you have denied that you are just like me
tonight I'll show how it goes - I'll set the demons free
you claim I am obsessed with you
how could you wonder why?
I knew right from the start
you'd be the reason why I die
your terrifying visions remain hazy
a broken jester's killing joke awaits you
I don't hate you 'cause I'm crazy
I am crazy 'cause I hate you
I just want to see the world burn
one might be asking “why, oh why?“
an antic punishment they did not earn
you never asked me “why, oh why?“
'cause you know it, when past is a dark maze of thoughts
thoughts about trepidation and wrath
then only one bad day can be enough
to turn a sane man into a psychopath
(solo: Gumo)
your terrifying visions remain hazy
a broken jester's killing joke awaits you
I don't hate you 'cause I'm crazy
I am crazy 'cause I hate you
I am crazy...
I am crazy 'cause I hate you

STONEHENGE
(Music by Hubi Hofmann | Lyrics by Daniel Reiß)
stonehenge, what are you?
what is the purpose?
the light of moon keeps reflecting on your surface
a place to get things done?
or something more symbolic?
a holy grail of human knowledge?
I imagine candles being set up in a raster
ancient druids asking questions to their master
he might have had an answer to which way their night might go, he'd say:
the moon will be watching
that is all I know
(solo: Fuck)
stonehenge, what are you?
I came to see myself
I didn't get the answers from the books upon my shelf
I will watch those blocks of stone
waiting for the light
contest inspired by the night
the energy is there, I can hear you talking
I don't understand your tongue as fantasy starts walking
I don't have an answer to which way this night might go
the moon will be watching
that is all I know
(solo: Gumo)
(solo: Fuck)
(solo: Hubi)
when mankind will be fadin' like flowers without light
will those blocks of stone become a futile sight?
I don't have an answer to which way this place might go
the moon will be watching
that is all I know
the moon will be watching
that is all I know

LADY LEECH
(Music by Daniel Reiß & Air Hofmann | Lyrics by Daniel Reiß)
she made you fall in love back in the day
from latex dreams to daily routine
within the years you found out who she was
her aggressions taught you how to lean
whenever she's in rage
she's like a dragon spittin' fire
she makes you wade through blood and tears
but you can't kill desire
lady leech
she's like a dragon spittin' fire
lady leech
but you can't kill desire
lady leech
you made the choice to poison her
prepare what she swallows before she goes with the guys
unexpectedly she enters the room
and starts to yell at you with tears in her eyes
whenever she's in rage
she's like a dragon spittin' fire
she makes you wade through blood and tears
but you can't kill desire
lady leech
she's like a dragon spittin' fire
lady leech
but you can't kill desire
the sadness in her eyes is killing you from deep within
she says she thought things were just okay the way they are
but now she's stunned since you were headin' for evil beyond sin
and as you see her sitting there, her aura shines like a 1000 stars
(solo: Fuck)
(solo: Gumo)
whenever she's in rage
she's like a dragon spittin' fire
she makes you wade through blood and tears
but you can't kill desire
lady leech
she's like a dragon spittin' fire
lady leech
but you can't kill desire

THE GOBLIN
(Music & Lyrics by Daniel Reiß)
the tavern gleams in candlelight as he's callin' it a day
he couldn't know this beer would be his last
his family's hit by shock and they won't understand
he's much too young and strong to earn a casket
when forces are summoned and spells are impair
father death might insist on his share
the villagers wonder 'bout that smell in the air
but the goblin was aware
a newborn child with hairy skin and teeth as sharp as blades
all is wrong, must be the water in the well
a witcher's hired to conclude a goblin is around
brewin' magic potions to send it back to hell
when forces are summoned and spells are impair
father death might insist on his share
the villagers wonder 'bout that smell in the air
but the goblin was aware
there's something strange about that fog in the woods
but the witcher should have the element of surprise
mantrap is clicking - no man could ever guess that he's there
but the goblin was aware
(solo: Gumo)
when forces are summoned and spells are impair
father death might insist on his share
the villagers wonder 'bout that smell in the air
but the goblin was aware
there's endless rage as they fight in the woods
the goblin falls as he's exhausted at dawn
he looks like a dying child that stares at sun's glare
yes, the goblin was aware

APEX PREDATOR
(Music & Lyrics by Daniel Reiß)
savannah heat - green eyes look sharp
sensing exhalation
lie in wait along the scarp
somehow you know that I am there
warm blood fills the mouth from within
no inclination for torture but driven to kill
muscles contract, cheetah's choking your breath
a terrified squalling got stuck in your chest
predator
apex predator
predator
apex predator
I stalemate what is left of you
appetite and urge
effeteness marks your dying eyes
as I start to scourge
warm blood fills the mouth from within
no inclination for torture but driven to kill
muscles contract, cheetah's choking your breath
a terrified squalling got stuck in your chest
predator
apex predator
predator
apex predator
dithering flesh, fading palpitation
majestic sentiment
mark of the king on dry steppe soil
the right to rule without repent
(solo: Fuck)
(solo: Gumo)
warm blood fills the mouth from within
no inclination for torture but driven to kill
muscles contract, cheetah's choking your breath
a terrified squalling got stuck in your chest

I am the king!

HELLCOME HOME
(Music & Lyrics by Daniel Reiß)
seeking shelter
this place was once my home
deconstruction
tear by tear and stone by stone
this place became a grave
never calm and never safe
losing friendships along the way
now I smash any reason to stay
I feel the energy still in the air
many thoughts we still could share
who was right and who was wrong?
but I just don't belong to this place no more
the curtain falls without encore
bring it on, let's get it done
tomorrow I'll be gone
no more!
never again!
hellcome home
fix the window, clean the wall
one garbage bag still in the hall
I leave no note - I just leave the key
time to go, one final look
this place can keep all that it took
an old and rotten memory that made me see
no more!
never again!
hellcome home
I don't even need to choose
I just let it loose...
(solo: Fuck)
no more!
never again!
hellcome home
no more!
never again!

BY ENDURANCE WE CONQUER
(Music & Lyrics by Daniel Reiß)
escape from the war towards the landscape of ice
put our lives on the line, not willing to pay the price
by endurance we conquer - the will of the boss
made sail for the profit and let go of the loss
by endurance we conquer
we lost our dreams to the land of ice
by endurance we conquer
but we won't lose our lives
bound to reach out for fame - another 100 miles
by dawn we did face the cold embrace of the ice
couldn't go any further - our dreams built a grave
the ice won't let go whatever it's made a slave
by endurance we conquer
we lost our dreams to the land of ice
by endurance we conquer
but we won't lose our lives
(twin lead: Fuck + Gumo)
"the noise resembles the roar of heavy distant surf
standing on the stirring ice, one can imagine
it is disturbed by the breathing and tossing of a mighty giant below"
(solo: Fuck)
by endurance we conquer
we lost our dreams to the land of ice
by endurance we conquer
but we won't lose our lives
we won't lose our lives

POLTERGEIST POSSESSION
(Music by Daniel Reiß & Hubi Hofmann | Lyrics by Daniel Reiß)
there's a creep of emptiness and fear within your eyes
your jam is dripping sweat - another sleepless night
sadness paints the picture
waiting on a widow's walk
you read my books, thought I could help
and now I'm here to talk
a cold breath on the skin
the panic of obsession
the evil lies within
the poltergeist possession
(solo: Fuck)
a chair, a bed, the walls are white
dead flowers at the window
your nose has been bleeding every night
blood upon your pillow
and as I stare beyond the void
I see those lines in red and black
lift your necktie! do it now!
there are no scratches - at least not yet...
a cold breath on the skin
the panic of obsession
the evil lies within
the poltergeist possession
embodiment of energy
dark spawn of the human soul
the paradox of lost serenity
he would not make himself, would not create himself
no, that was you!
a cold breath on the skin
the panic of obsession
the evil lies within
the poltergeist possession
the poltergeist possession

ABSTRACT REALITY
(Music by Daniel Reiß & Hubi Hofmann | Lyrics by Daniel Reiß)
tapping the net to log in to "the quest"
gigabytes within a breath
caffeine and a room without natural light
surrounded by virtual death
abstract reality
the spirit and the screen
abstract reality
the flesh lost inbetween
connecting not only your soul to the game
a new age of physical pain
you smell and you feel and the tasting is real
a monster is eating your brain!
abstract reality
the spirit and the screen
abstract reality
the flesh lost inbetween
black spots on the floor look like blood on the wall
the hunches I smell don't align
your soul set a trap of reflections and signs
the colors they talk don't combine
(lead: Gumo)
(twin lead: Gumo + Fuck)
abstract reality
the spirit and the screen
abstract reality
the flesh lost inbetween
the spirit and the screen

WAITING FOR THIS DAY
(Music & Lyrics by Daniel Reiß)
another freeway motel left behind - still it's on my mind
the pictures that I saw and the lines I did not draw
wherever I may roam, tonight I'm not alone
another thrill - I've been waiting for this day
I got a heart of stone - I'm never coming home
another kill - I've been waiting for this day
the grit of memories asphalts a lonesome road
like a solitary silhouette out there in the cold
wherever I may roam, tonight I'm not alone
another thrill - I've been waiting for this day
I got a heart of stone - I'm never coming home
another kill - I've been waiting...
waiting for this day
waiting for this day
(solo: Gumo)
wherever I may roam, tonight I'm not alone
another thrill - I've been waiting for this day

BILLY THE KID
(Music & Lyrics by Daniel Reiß)
the hard breath of mother on the evening she died
she was too weak to talk, so she talked with her eyes
leaving him hollow without bonds to the past
he never learned from no one, so he learned how to last
the lonesome rider's on his own now...
not afraid to die like a man
die like a man that is fighting
never like to be killed like a dog unarmed
don't spit on Billy The Kid
the smell of the slums - hungry eyes of the poor
a kingdom for beggars, gamblers and whores
circumstances put a gun in his hand
oppression's opponent - the voice of the damned
the lonesome rider's wanted dead or alive...
not afraid to die like a man
die like a man that is fighting
never like to be killed like a dog unarmed
don't spit on Billy The Kid
(twin lead: Gumo + Fuck)
(solo: Gumo)
not afraid to die like a man
die like a man that is fighting
never like to be killed like a dog unarmed
don't spit on Billy The Kid
from the cradle of slums to "stinking springs"
from stealing the horses till the killing begins
the scent of the dice - the grip of the gun
a life in rebellion and always on the run

BLACK FRIDAY
(Music by Daniel Reiß | Lyrics by Hubi Hofmann)
“good evening ladies and gentlemen, the shocking news of today:
the united states stock market - the most iconic market in global capitalism - is rigged;
rigged by a combination of stock exchanges, big wall street banks and high frequency traders.
we will officially enter the mother of all depressions, because this machine has become so huge and complex
that no one ever could have realized its massive destructive power
until it was too late.“
(solo: Gumo)
wake up with a feeling of oppression
speed to work, put in order what I've learned
“you're fired, grab your bags, get ya gone!“
this share is now withdrawn
just another “everyday“
another day to be seized
yet another black friday
this world has been deceived
don't fear the call of the margin
approve corruption and greed
be the first - sell nonpar for fortune
or be smarter and cheat
just another “everyday“
another day to be seized
yet another black friday
this world has been deceived
something big is goin' down
something too big to fail
the higher they climb, the harder they fall
now they're trapped behind the eight ball
(twin lead: Gumo + Fuck)
just another “everyday“
another day to be seized
yet another black friday
this world has been deceived
just another black friday
yet another black friday
just another black friday
this world has been deceived
“the people operating this machine are faceless, so the catastrophe was inevitable.
several companies, banks and trading agencies all around the world have been entailed with moratory interest because of misdiagnosed or defective investment consulting.
this is another black friday for the world's economy - remember this day...“

DAMNATION
(Music & Lyrics by Hubi Hofmann)
(solo: Fuck)
damnation for the ones who waste their lives
access to hell denied
if god was on your side you'd stay in hell confined
everlasting punishment divine
damned by satan - condemned by god
damned by satan...
no deity will tolerate your useless stubborn life
damned by satan - damned by your god
burning in a lake of fire - punishment for sin
immortal souls last within
if satan governed over you, you'd burn for heaven's sake
eternal be thy disgrace
damned by satan - condemned by god
damned by satan...
no deity will tolerate your useless stubborn life
damned by satan - damned by your god
damnation is impending you - it's time to face the truth
dispose your dogma, lay your faith to rest and pay the dues
condemned for all eternity - that's what you'll always be
let loose these target values and set your spirit free
(solo: Fuck)
(twin lead: Fuck + Gumo)
damnation for the ones who lived a lie
access to heaven denied
no god was ever on your side, so dry your cryin' eyes
this will be your demise
damned by satan - condemned by god
damned by satan...
no deity will tolerate your useless stubborn life
damned by satan - damned by your god

CYDONIA
(Music by Daniel Reiß & Hubi Hofmann | Lyrics by Daniel Reiß)
red desert canyon - dark giants of stone
the mission is clear - destination is known
no more golden horizons - we're a race that is lost
but our past is a diamond - “preserve at all costs!“
a new existence shall begin
cornucopia
for our children, for the king
for cydonia
staring daggers at screens - it all seems so odd
sweat on the forehead like teardrops of thoughts
tired and broken but somehow alive
we stare at the passage to the abyss of life
a new existence shall begin
cornucopia
for our children, for the king
for cydonia
sleep is draggin' us away from here
fading hope - the storm won't clear
empty eyes - the apathy of our endeavor
clouds are moving - it's now or never!
back in panic, turning the wheel
accelerate! the roaring of steel
the turbojet engine is screaming in shock
no hyperspace warp! the lever is blocked!
“go grab the hammer and smash it apart!
the death clock is ticking, no time to be smart!“
driven by instinct - sudden will to surive
hammering smash! into the unknown we dive
(twin lead: Fuck + Gumo)
surrounded by thunder and the screams of command
we're dancing with death in the land of the damned
into the passage - attacked by the storm
the space craft yells as the left wing is torn
a reflex decision - turn it head over heels
a bang of explosion - corroded by heat
I hear myself growling in pain
a storm of red warning lights and signs of decay
(twin lead: Fuck + Gumo)
we are twisting, we are turning
flight control, it's lost!
storm is draggin' us towards the soil
smoke and fire - we're caught in a coil
diaphone terror - emergency gate
this craft is a grave and heaven won't wait
I hear myself screaming “we abandon the ship!
prepare for the crash! come on, get a grip!“
pressure is pushing us back to our seats
I hear someone pray - a calm voice in the heat
final thoughts of a man crawling under my skin
like the tears of a child and the voice of my king
(twin lead: Fuck + Gumo)
we were supposed to give hope to our race
to my king and my daughter - I remember her face
the gate is now open - pure noise and strong winds
I see a landscape in red, I push the gas pedal in
the only way out of this casket of steel is the motor car
I put my hands on the wheel
I feel my face pulling a sarcastic smile
as we crush through the gate - we are ready to die
(twin lead: Fuck + Gumo)
we are twisting, we are turning
we are back on solid ground
the explosion of the craft still roaring behind
our senses announce that we are still alive
only three of us left and a race that is lost
going down to the abyss - “prevail at all costs!“
a new existence shall begin
cornucopia
for our children, for the king
for cydonia
we are waiting - something's watching
the download runs - what is this place?
Captain: “how long?“
Engineer: “download in progress... sequence 3, just like we assumed... wow, this is HUGE!“
Captain: “yeah, very fascinating... speed it up man!“
Engineer: “hey, what's wrong with you?“
Captain: “there is something... over there on that rock...“
Engineer: “yeah, or inside your head...“
Captain: “listen man! just speed it up okay?!?“
ancient ruins - dark atmosphere
a breathing silence - there is something here
our driver's corpse inside the motor car
a bloody message: “you won't get far!“
we're about to lose it all
cornucopia
as I whisper my last call
to cydonia
