Better Than Raw - 1998



DELIBERATELY LIMITED PRELIMINARY
PRELUDE PERIOD IN Z (M - Kusch)


This song is instrumental.


PUSH (M - Kusch L - Deris, Weikath, Kusch)


They're spending millions for your thrill

Collective desperate overkill

Wrapped up in harmless words than grin

Forbidden games you'll never win

The more you see, the more you know

Intended media mind control

shut down and see how beautiful life can be

This is the prime if your lifetime

You see through eyes of someone else

More than a half of your lifetime

Is just a tale in a storybook



Push, enforce you independence

Push your real intention

Face your unconscious addiction

Push your private fiction

Push



It't getting sticker frame by frame

You're always staring at the same

What is a lie, what is the truth?

Incredible disgusting news

The world is rought, the end is near

Just calculation with your fear Without a shame nor least respect

The operators stand erect



This is the prime of your lifetime

You see through eyes of someone else

More than a half of your lifetime

Is just a tale in a storybook



Push, enforce you independence

Push your real intention

Face your unconscious addiction

Push your private fiction

Push

FALLING HIGHER (M - Weikath L - Deris, Weikath)


I thouhgt that I felt alright with my world

But now that I knew seems taken by someone

Probing me, waiting if I take the bait

Surrender, step into the line



We won't give into the false

We are not as dull as taken

Someone will hold out if they can

They must kill us if they want us to fall



When we unite

We're falling higher

When words collide

We'll stand straight in turmoil and fear

No harm comming near



Hungry forever since we took a glance

Feared that the world was taken by someone

We realized by the look in your eyes

Metal will never die



With magic in your hands 

We are lost-and-found contenders

For a kingdom of our stand

Come togheter no surrender at all



With magic in your hands 

We are lost-and-found contenders

For a kingdom of our stand

Come togheter no surrender at all



When we unite

We're falling higher

When words collide

We'll stand straight in turmoil and fear

No harm comming near

No harm comming near

No harm comming near

We're falling higher

HEY LORD! (M&L - Deris)


(What is it all about?)



Pleasure of pain

Cold or fire

Love against disdain



Hope or dispair

Thuth of liar

Normal or insane



Do you know what to choose?

It can't happen you lose

Like the stairs nedd the light

No left without right



Hey Lord, hey Lord

Life is striking as you taugth

Hey Lord, hey Lord

Time is running, time is short

Hey Lord (What is it all about?)



Good or profane

Odd of even

All is face to face



Sinner or saint

Serve each other

Life is called this place



Do you know what to choose?

It can't happen you lose

Like the stairs nedd the light

No left without right



Hey Lord, hey Lord

Life is striking as you taugth

Hey Lord, hey Lord

Time is running, time is short

Hey Lord



Hey Lord, hey Lord

Time is running, time is short.

Hey Lord, hey Lord

Life is striking, life is short

Hey Lord 



Hey Lord, hey Lord

Time is running, time is short.

Hey Lord, hey Lord

Why did you want us so wayhard?

(What is it all about?)

DON'T SPIT ON MY MIND (M - Deris, Grosskopf L - Deris)


Every lie will win a prize

Love sold by a whore

Claculated sacrifice

Death without a war

Aftermath and alibies

Straw-doll-chess to please the floor



Don't tell me of any wonders shiftting gold

Don't tell me of a hard way we have to go throutgh

Still we pay your warmth out of the cold

Do you really think we're blind?



Don't spit on my mind

Don't spit on my mind

Don't spit on my mind



Any form of government

Has a black sheep part

But the brave will never know

What the black sheeps start

In the name of country-love

They enrich themselves apart



Don't tell me of any wonders shiftting gold

Don't tell me of a hard way we have to go throutgh

Still we pay your warmth out of the cold

Do you really think we're blind?



Don't spit on my mind

Don't spit on my mind

Don't spit on my mind



We are the people, we are the messes you are for

We give the power and our desire must be your law

Don't think I'm standing here all alone of a kind

Don't think because you're still there

Means that we are all blind



Don't spit on my mind

Don't spit on my mind

Don't spit on my mind

REVELATION (M - Kusch L - Deris)




Now we chase the end of time

Afraid of what we will find

Once again since Jesus christ

The stars look down on mankind



Revelation

Overcome creation

False illusions

Fade and die

Whatever we awaited

Charity or hatred

Whatever we awaited

Will arise

It's revelation

Revelation



Power and prosperity

It won't be like before

Name, rank and authority

Not counting any more



Revelation

Overcome creation

False illusions

Fade and die

Whatever we awaited

Charity or hatred

Whatever we awaited

Will arise

It's revelation

Revelation



Bemoan your words

Bemoan your deeds

Repent your thoughts of lies

Attain your sword

Attain your shield

Defend the sense of life

Bemoan your hate

repent your greed

Improve your rotten seed



Pray for the child

Thought born just by a fraund

and a whole

Pray for the child

Who won't know

what's crying for



Revelation

Overcome creation

False illusions

Fade and die

Whatever we awaited

Charity or hatred

Whatever we awaited

Will arise

It's revelation

Revelation

TIME (M&L - Deris)


Feel it running off

So strong and clear

An age is over fast

And disappears

Help him if you can

his hour will come soon

Push away his fear

He'll see Elysium

It's time

It's Time



Guard him a little while

And calm his shiver

Wash and dry his tears

And cold his fever

Take the bibles words

Speak it pure his soul

Lay love in his mind

His close to the final goal

It's time

It's time



It's time to go

Time for the freedom

Time to face what we all believe in

Pray strong

Pray to the higher

Turn your back on the devil's fire

Time to go

Time for freedom

Time to face what we all believe in

Time is passing by



When his mind is clear

He called your brother

Now his brain is dazed

It's resigning rather

Mother take his hand

Say a last Good-Bye

We're not gifted to

Turn water into wine

It's time

It's time



It's time to go

Time for the freedom

Time to face what we all believe in

Pray strong

Pray to the higher

Turn your back on the devil's fire

Time to go

Time for freedom

Time to face what we all believe in

Time is passing by

I CAN (M - Deris, Weikath L - Weikath)


May I take you higher 

Feed well your desire

We won't be forgotten

Foes left slain and rotten



I will have my way

as once before

Others stand in awe

can't scorn at all



I can, I can, I can

make it all again

I don't wanna lose

I don't wanna get drowned

I can, I can I can

heed the call again

Fulfill my dreams until I'm cured



Some will leave here shattred

Wish us tarred and feathered



Show me anyone who doubts our ways

I will laught out loud and I will say



I can, I can, I can

make it all again

I don't wanna lose

I don't wanna get drowned

I can, I can I can

make the call again

Can attain ev'rything to leave you sure

I can



I can, I can, I can

make it all again

I don't wanna lose

I don't wanna get drowned

I can, I can I can

heed the call again

Fulfill my dreams until I'm cured

A HANDFUL OF PAIN (M - Kusch L -Deris)


I believe what we called a game

Is more than just a handful of pain



I still remember every hour

Every second has been hours

Far away from many burden

We met eyes without a curtain



Headless into a new sensation

Wether brain nor fear of patience

Careless we had a game to play

you crossed my way for twenty days



Why don't you just heal

The yearning that I feel?

Hey, what we called a game

Is more than just a handful of pain



We got the wrong ways

Cause I believe it's more

than just a handful of pain

We got the wrong ways

Cause I believe it's more

than just a handful of pain



We're different colours, diferent nature

Both we weer like pupil and teacher

It's a puzzle with two pieces

Still not done 'cause one still misses



Helpless I go through unknown stages

A chapter of life which has missing pages

Torture not owly phisical

It pains unbound, way way down



The yearning that I feel?

Hey, I believe what we called a game

Is more than just a handful of pain



We got the wrong ways

Cause I believe it's more

than just a handful of pain

We got the wrong ways

Cause I believe it's more

than just a handful of pain

BACK ON THE GROUND (M - Kusch L - Deris)


We can race over the mountains

Sail over the spheres

We can ride under the oceans

But we can't fight our fear



Something's wrong with

the world these days

Do you know what it is?



We believe to gebern nature

Find ways to lengthen our life

And we go through digital stages

Still the children cry



Something's wrong with

the world these days

Do you know what it is?



The planet could be a better place

If we spot the miss

But I guess I would see a start

And I will sing it loud



Won't put your feet

Back to the ground



We explore the existence of aliens

Try to conquer space

We refine nuclear science

Still to die in the haze



Something's wrong with

the world these days

Do you know what it is?



The planet could be a better place

If we spot the miss

But I guess I would see a start

I warn you without doubt



Won't put your feet

Back to the ground

MIDNIGHT SUN (M&L - Weikath)


Tried so hard to understand all of your feelings

Tried to cope with your insanities

Come to think about too many ways of healing

What we lost or maybe never had



One small step into the hidden decoy

One more world is help and one will destroy



I woke up in the midnight sun

So aware damage has been done

Agony or sanctuary

Only fate will show the way



From the bright of day into the jaw of darkness

One is shoved, a victim of lie

friendly face turns into a fiery grimace

Suddenly feelings learn to die



Used up sympathy no chance to return

To a world one know but would's that will burn



Spent more time in the midnight sun

Still aware of what else has gone

Agonized and hypnotized

When will I be shown the way



Fell asleep and no midnight sun

Still aware justice has been done

No more doubts but disbelief

When the night was day

Celebration, miracle

And fate did show the way
