False Colours
03:40
|
|||
Put your hand on your heart
Is this what you wanted to be
Fake politeness, fake forced smiles
Heartily greeting those you despise
You buy
Things you don't need with
Money you don't have
To impress people you don't like
It leaves you sated
That's what you want me to be
I don’t want to be the same
No no
[Chorus:]
Hey hey hey
Time´s running out
Hey hey hey
I'm ready to fight
You sail through your lives
Under false colours, under false colours
Holden Caulfield says goodbye
Live with your horrors, live with your horrors
All is greyed out in your head
No options left save the one
Planted there, approved by
Those controlling all of your lives
[Chorus:]
Funny how the people
Who know the least about you
Always have the most to say
No! I don’t wanna be this way!
[Chorus:]
You live in a fool’s paradise under false colours!

Perfect Storm
03:21
|
|||
Life's burning bright for us
Hold on to what you feel
Shrouded in smoke
Covered in clouds, unreal
You´re defying all conventions
Mischievous and so refreshing
I´m the king of misadventures
Hand in hand we go all in
[Chorus:]
Setting our insides on fire
Heading for a perfect storm
Back to back, look what's left
Carnival flags flapping loud
Baffled by the radiant lights
Our sunglasses fail us
Pierce my eyes, tantalize
The foolishness of our desires
The shadows in your face are growing
Your complexion's turning white
The moon is your mirror, the night is your alibi
Partners in crime, we press on to another dawn
Whatever glares can't smother our sparks
[Chorus:] 2x

Porcelain Faith
04:27
|
|||
Not a tree without blight
In this sombre, solemn avenue
Out of sight, still on my mind
Poisoned snares have snatched the truth
[Chorus:]
Emotions for hire
All smoke, no fires
She can't be seen until it's too late
These sheets are vacant
The bedroom's all dire
She came to shatter my porcelain faith
Now explosions of silver are overdue
The sky will surely disown you
Not a wreck in the ocean's depths
Can escape the crippling crunch of rust
I believed it was divine
The dust I bit was gunpowder
[Chorus:]
Now explosions of silver are overdue
The sky will surely disown you
Your mocking comfort is rude and cruel
The ground must quickly swallow you
We spread this mould called life
That fuzzy growth of foul fungi
Our fates are intertwined
It's desecration, sin's incarnation
[Chorus:]

Claws And Talons
04:42
|
|||
The hole you dug
Is it deep enough
To hide yourself
To shade the stars
To wallow in it
To drown in it
The choice is yours
So drain the cup
Of agony
Your last agony
[Chorus:]
Claws and talons digging deep into your neck
Afraid to look at the abyss that stares back
Into the depths of your malicious soul
It feels like falling into burning charcoal
You've bled out
All that venom
You call blood
Now watch it clot
So as you sit
And slowly fade
Look at the clouds
Forever keep
That memory
Your last memory
[Chorus:]
Cracked and scattered soul
Tattered, black as coal
[Chorus:] 2x

Tony & The Starship
04:03
|
|||
I snorted so much coke that my starship caught on fire
Like Tony had in Scarface but a slightly bigger pile
Dilated pupils, a dim glow from my eyes
I have so much power, electrifying might
There's no curse I won't fall under
Cast it please, while the music's louder
[Chorus:]
Once more hands shook with insanity
She whispers “You are my only one
Release your breath when I count to three"
Reality is like a blurred hologram
A sharp flash of colours, a heat rush in my chest
You do what you can, you say what seems best
You can't stop the doomtrain when it's at full speed
There only is one way, to survive the fall
There's no curse I won't fall under
Cast it please, while the music's louder
[Chorus:]
Beat beat beat goes the heart of an addict
Beat beat beat the pounding of the blows
Beat beat beat goes the heart of an addict
Beat beat beat until it stops!
[Chorus:]
Beat beat beat goes the heart of an addict
One two three and then it stops!

Fields Of Eternity
04:20
|
|||
Here I stand, with nothing in my
In my hands, oh where can I hide?
What is chasing me all this way?
Oh what have I done
Darkness, darkness
[Chorus:]
Memories are haunting me
Black as death my visions seem
No end to my suffering
On these foggy fields of eternity
My past is trying to choke me
With its crooked hands it scratches off my flesh
And my body's itching
And it burns like a million bugs under my skin
[Chorus:]
What value has my life
What difference if I live or die
Is there endless torment
Where will I go when I am done with this world
Everything's so hollow
Who will save me now
[Chorus:] 2x

Sunlit Charms
01:22
|
|||
Try too hard
Fall apart
Into shards and echoes
Of past endeavours
Don't steal the sunlit charms
Don't trigger harsh alarms
They'll pierce you with knives
And messers, bloody messers
To make you feel better
Blazing pangs of conscience
Drunk vagrant holds his crutch like a gun
He aims at you and you feel it
Offering telltale bullets of unrest

Hour Of The Wolf
05:13
|
|||
The velvet embrace of the bat's wings
Comforts me, a priceless solace
Their tendons and veins like leathery strings
Enfold me, a binding promise
[Chorus:]
Hour of the wolf
When sleep is the deepest
Hour of the wolf
All demons arise
Hour of the wolf
When night is indecent
Hour of the wolf
Drains tears from the stars
Madness in disguise
It feels like surfacing out of deep waters
Taking one breath, the only that matters
Seconds from drowning I release my coarse cry
Echoes far and wide, but my tongue is tied
[Chorus:]
Five ragged holes in the veil of my courage
Aligned like buttons on a dead man's coat
[Chorus:]
Hour of the wolf
I am on the move
Hour of the wolf
I am not alone!

Welcome, wanderer!
Browse cheerfully the songs I write after (and sometimes during) work hours to get my mind off things.
It´s mostly metal, mostly melodic.
More music to come.
