1. Eyescaled
Music & lyrics by Wolfgang Rhein
It’s funny how it’s only me who knows that’s not supposed to be
the way that things are happening right now,
And it’s funny how you’ve got no clue about how the world revolves around you
These scales will not fall from your eyes
The pacifying fact that we have never actually met is what just
keeps me up and keeping tabs on you from my kitty-cornered view
Sometimes it’s hard to see the clown that I appear to be
each time you could be close enough to accidently see me
Each night I watch you sitting all alone right by your window sill
and stare at how you sip your glass of wine
I’m not a dreamer, ain’t naive, but I believe that happy ends exist
although only in movies… the kinds of I don’t like
Sometimes it’s hard to see the clown that I appear to be
each time you could be close enough to accidently see me
It’s not that I ain’t used to disappointments
But constant drops of water now have worn away the stone
That blooming cactus in your window shows perfectly how this works:
So pretty that you wanna touch (it), but once you do it hurts
The stings stay deep, you don’t bleed, so no one sees the pain
If we finally meet in person… that cactus blooms again
I hope you’ll never see this clown that I appear
to be.

2. Soulfight
Music & lyrics by Wolfgang Rhein
This day must be a good one
‘cause the sun is out and everything looks pretty
So you feel constrained to catch the day
Get up late to enjoy to some degree that you are able to
Talk yourself into believing… life is fine and the world’s
not full of exhausted, and unhappy, and demanding
Well, one turns to religion and the other starts to drink
Insecurities are selfish?
Who gave you the right to backbite?
Soulfight inside… the most ferocious strife
Sometimes you wonder if the liquor changes anything
Sometimes you wonder “Is this ruthless survival endless?”
Pray to the gods, pray to your demon just to make it stop or shorter
and skip the final quarter…
Well, one turns to religion and the other starts to drink
Insecurities are selfish?
Who gave you the right to backbite?
Soulfight on the inside… the most ferocious strife
When people tell you
“things could be worse”
it sounds so arrogant
and threatening and helpless
That’s just alibies.
So some turn to religion and some others start to drink
Insecurities are selfish?
Who gave you the right to backbite?
Soulfight inside… ferocious strife
The whole world’s full of exhausted, and unhappy, and demanding
No - things couldn’t be worse.

3. Holed
Music & lyrics by Wolfgang Rhein
Right in the middle of the biggest crowd
He feels the loneliest with all eyes on him
A hero of forgotten days and still for some
time-honoured ones, drowning drones
At the age of eight this bright-eyed kid decided
to grab another chance and paint the past anew
But life can be the biggest of all disenthralls
when a stronger guy has different plans for you…
And the can he holds in his hand, it holds a hole for him
Now he’s drinking from all sides in madness
In the dead of night or morning light, it doesn’t count
when all your needs are endless
His lifetime membership of sadness
has brought him to the weirdest place
He’s an all-consist-of-junk genius when drunk,
To lose sight of things is what him brings some…
…funny kind of gladness!
And the can he holds in his hand, it holds a hole for him
Now he’s drinking from all sides in madness
In the dead of night or morning light, it doesn’t count
when all your needs are endless
And he says
“to understand will make you sad”
You understand?
And the can he holds in his hand, it holds a hole for him
Now he’s drinking from all sides in madness
In the dead of night or morning light, it doesn’t count
This is endless
To understand will make you sad
You understand?

4. Not a word
Music & melody by Wolfgang Rhein, lyrics by Martin Wehner
Not a word is spoken
but now a friendship’s broken
A certain harmony that
once was thought to last
I look at the wreckage
Words fail me
before I realize that
this was just the cause
It’s easy to avoid it,
simply grin and bear it
But it’s so hard to lay
yourself upon to talk
Words can heal what’s broken
if they’re meant to be spoken
But they will get you down if
they remain as thoughts
Talk things out although you know it hurts

5. Jubilee
Music & melody by Wolfgang Rhein, lyrics by Martin Wehner
You’re always grumbling (about that) fortune favors fools
But you would be the last who’d dare to break the rules
You sit here waiting for a long time past
Hoping those first ones now will later be the last
But until then life will be passed
Never too late to learn
Everybody speaks about a change
Yet nobody starts to rearrange
Pluck up your courage, it’s your turn!
Never too late to learn
You get hopeless as the years run by
There’s no progress although I know you try
But don’t despair of life - it never was worth while
Cease from your strife, come on…
…give me a smile!
Pluck your courage, it’s your turn!
Never too late to learn
Pluck your courage, it’s your turn!

6. Your back
Music & lyrics by Michael Vickers
Living with uncertainty,
but it plays on my self-doubt
Can’t separate the wood from trees
Never really knowing what it’s all about
You watch me run and falter,
say it’s the only way to learn
But when I fall flat on my face,
it hurts to see you smile and turn
your back
Avoiding sticky situations
Sit in silence, turn the other cheek
Swerve awkward conversations
Even find it hard to lift my head to speak
You watch me run and falter,
say it’s the only way to learn
But when I fall flat on my face,
it hurts to see you smile and turn
your
…back
They say you learn from your mistakes,
but I make the same ones
over and over again
They say “Don’t live life with regrets”,
but I just fell upon the
small things, the small things I’d change
You watch me run and falter,
say it’s the only way to learn
But when I fall flat on my face,
it hurts to see you smile and turn
your back

7. Scapegod
Music & lyrics & lead vocals by Andreas Bühler
All we are is all you have
All we’ll be is all you feel ...
Nothing more than fallen leaves
Nothing but old grown trees
We ... fallen leaves ... old grown trees ...
Hold us so we won’t feel old
And take away our cold
Love us like your lost loved son
And give us something sun
You never worried about our sorrows
You’ll never care about our future ways … future ways
Just to be one of these whom we pray for
Let love decay, hate we pay
Nothing more than love deceased
Nothing but hate increased
We ... love deceased ... hate increased ...

8. Silenced
Music & lyrics by Wolfgang Rhein
Why does it matter that I simply somehow like just what you do
in all kinds of wasted ways and stress the perfect spots you always knew
to push things perfectly, sweet skills in chasing me
into the deadest dead end street is
where you’ve got me strenuously
To understand your brilliancy just makes me feel ashamed
Your spark of genius-like arsenious burns its unresisted ways… in me.
Take my haltered hand-me-downs
If what we are would be a book, we should’ve judged it by its cover
instead of desperately assay a complete lifetime to discover
what this was meant to be, time is up and so are we
and every try we’ve ever tried has been performed… pathetically.
Take my haltered hand-me-downs
Leave me haltered
Eternity, alterity
Enjoy your wrecking spree
I can’t express myself without shootin’ everybody down
I kept on tryin’, while you were lyin’, cut me down, silenced out
Why has just everything that deals with you to be so
complicated, overrated what’s been stated…my own letdown?
Take my haltered hand-me-downs
Leave me haltered
Eternity, alterity
Enjoy your wreck… enjoy your wrecking spree!

9. Fearced
Music & lyrics by Wolfgang Rhein
I feel the tension rise again,
running scared from what’s your plans
Holed-out glory, end of story
Grinding puppy… die again!
Have you seen him come or leave,
locked all doors and hidden the keys?
What’s that sound there (coming) from the ground or
somewhere else so close…
I know you love play along BLOODthirsty
I know you love to have your prey on their knees
Leave me stranded, I don’t belong in here
And it’s all become so clear
And this smile… it gives me creeping fears
Feared by sunlight, panic at night
If you kill it dies and soon be
born again...,
born again and peeling off my skin…
I know you love play along BLOODthirsty
I know you love to have your prey on their knees
Leave me stranded, I don’t belong in here
And it’s all become so clear
And this smile… it gives me creeping fears
And it’s all so clear that I don’t belong in here
And that smile you don’t pretend… it gives me creeping fears
