LAST ARGUMENT (2014)

1. Three Beats

One Beat, I’m safe it’s warm and dark. / Two Beats, there’s a gleaming, sprinkling spark. / Now I m here and the life is waiting for me, / Breaking the crust like the seed of a tree / I feel the time between my fingers, (it’s running, running) / I Know my life will end (it’s stunning, stunning)! / Carpe Diem seize the day, (you can’t go back) / Before Death is coming to break my neck! / One Beat, it’s youth your powerful, unleashed / Two beats, a girl an altar and a priest. / My feet on the ground a coin in my account, / Moving on, on a one way road I’m bound / I feel the time between my fingers, (running, running) / I Know my life will end (it’s stunning, stunning)! / Carpe Diem seize the day, (you can’t go back) / Before Death is coming to break my neck! / The End is coming – “I’m not dead yet!” / Your life will end – “there’s something after it I bet!” / “I’m young and strong” – (but) your weakness will thrive! / “And what’s about an afterlife!” / One beat, the beginning, the origin, the start. / Two beats - split second, I’m old and retired. / Three beats, but how many beats will there be? / What's my rhythm/It’s my decision, the answer lies in me! / I feel the time between my fingers, (I can hold it a bit) / I know my life will end, (but I will fight it!) / Carpe Diem, seize the day, even if it means stress / And when the death is coming I know my life was a success.

2. Architects (At Their Best)

Tonight I have to tear this city down, / That we’ve built from our thoughts / in our dreams. / We did a great job. Architects at their best / Your constructions are outliving mine. / So it seems / You’re crawling so desperately I’m falling again / Often I have seen you so, I’m used to admitting / It feels as if it is my city that is falling in / It feels as if it is my city that is falling-----------in / We are blamed for every accident / Broken legs, broken hearts / Blatantly / Tonight I blame you and you blame me / Architects always bear / Responsibility / You’re crawling so desperately I’m falling again / Often I have seen you so, I’m used to admitting / It feels as if it is my city that is falling in / It feels as if it is my city that is falling-----------in / I have to forgive and forget this time / We’re at a turning point and I can’t cross the line / You’re crawling so desperately I’m falling again / Often I have seen you so, I’m used to admitting / It feels as if it is my city that is falling in / It feels as if it is my city that is falling-----------in

3. Under Our Illusion

Breath the air we give you / Your lungs nearly collapse cause of toxic emissions / So used to it you hardly feel your lung-irritation / Eat the bread we sell you / The golden ears became gray a long time ago / crammed down they keep the grumbling low / See the fire on the screen we let you feel warm / There's deviousness in our words your soul will be torn / You've to toil and obey that's why you're born / This illusion we sell you and it all feels like home / Drink the water we donate / A refreshment with gray-water won't last long / though you feel good all taste buds are gone / Believe what we show you / Your free will enchained by broadcasts of our television / Watch the life on the screen, feel alive with our permission / See the fire on the screen we let you feel warm / There's deviousness in our words your soul will be torn / You have to toil and obey that's why you're born / This illusion we sell you and it all feels like home / Don't wake up! Don't wake up / We don't discern friend and foe / We just lead you follow / Walk along on the embers of a great blaze that burned down your home / Live on under the illusion of a great life though lush meadows are gone / We lead, you follow. / See the fire on the screen we let you feel warm / There's deviousness in our words your soul will be torn / You have to toil and obey that's why you're born / This illusion we sell you and it all feels like home / Let's lead, not follow.
