“FUTURE FABLES” (Exile on Mainstream Records, 2O16)

1 HOLE

Black and white lines, dust and dry vines / Who can ever get away / Stations of power, seconds to hours / Who can ever turn it down / There´s a hole in the heart, put it all through / It goes in, it goes out / There´s a hole in the soul, put it all through / It goes in / Rinsing red eyes, sleepless firelight / At your door Come out to play / Let´s go take a walk, over at the park / Falling through another day / There´s a hole in the world, put it all through / It goes in, it goes out / There´s a hole in the soul, counting on you / It goes in / Black and white lines, dust and dry vines / Who can ever get away / Stations of power, seconds to hours / Who can ever turn it down / There´s a hole in the heart, put it all through / It goes in, it goes out / There´s a hole in the soul, counting on you / It goes in

2 PIECE OF HEAVEN

I want a piece of heaven, but i can´t get it through / The one-way ticket counter, i hang in black and blue / I want to be so happy, i want to be alive / I want a piece of heaven / that cuts me like a knife / Come on and make me cry / Come down and make me feel / Come on and make me fight for what is real / Something came a-knocking on my portal door / Another came and took me out, i´m coming back no more / The train is new and rusting in the speed of light / I want a piece of heaven / that cuts me like a knife / Come on and make me cry / Come down and make me feel / Come on and make me fight for what is real / Piece of heaven comes so hard / Close your eyes back to the start / Come on and make me cry / Come down and make me feel / Come on and make me fight for what is real / Together we will fight for what is real

3 KILLER

It kills me with a fiery eye / It kills me with a silent knife / Down in my soul it´s where it kills me so / It kills me with a fiery eye / It kills me in the bank of trust / It kills me in the universe / Down in my soul it´s where it kills me so / It kills me in the bank of trust / Killer / Killer / Killer / It kills you and you call someone / Let´s go out and have some fun / But down in your soul it´s where it kills you so / It kills you and you call someone / Killer / Killer / Killer / It´s getting to me now / It´s getting to you / How does it feel, how does it go / How does it kill / Killer / Killer / Killer / Killer / Killer / Killer / Killer

Spin the perfect circle down / Who finds the pain alone better turn around / Your life is lost and found not to remain alone / Better turn around / Stay, here for more don´t walk away / Stay, and play your favourite song before we wash away / (Hey) / Spin the tidal wave again / You´re over at the gate let your people in / See your people coming in / Leftovers on the plate, let your people in / Stay, here for more don´t walk away / Stay, and play your favourite / song before we wash away / (Put it on, put it on, put your raw rawk music on) / Hand to the heart / Heart to the fire / Washed up in smoke / Washed up in the dirt / Put it on, put it on / Put your raw rawk music / On

5 WAKE UP

Wake up again / Call it in / Find me in darkness who knows where the heart is my friend / Cold sweat on every thing / By the wolves i howl and scream / The world is black and frightening / I hold my breath and count to ten / Never wake me up again / Never wake me up again / I cannot help it my shelter has melted away / Now too soon seeing is truly believing can´t stay / Find me in darkness who knows where the heart is my love / Talk to me i´m loosing hope / By the wolves i howl and scream / The world is black and frightening / I hold my breath and count to ten / Never wake me up again / Never wake me up again / It´s too early to leave my friend / Wake up again / Wake up again / And i will trade my demons in / Wake up again / Call it in / Wake up again

I will meet you at the nervous end / Where the empire will fall / You got demons and catastrophes at hand / Not forgotten after all / Everybody feels about something / Walking slowly down the hall / I miss you all, it keeps on coming / Where the empire will fall / I have heard you on the telephone / That was held against the wall / Everybody in it seems to be alone / Talking, waiting for the call / Everybody feels about something / Walking slowly down the hall / I miss you all, it keeps on coming / Where the empire will fall / I will meet you at the nervous end / I´ve been waiting all that time / dripping like blood into the cup we hold again / since we came back from the vines / Everybody feels about something / Walking slowly down the hall / I miss you all it keeps on coming / Where the empire will fall / Feel about something / Walking slowly down the hall / I miss you all, it keeps on coming / Where the empire will fal / The empire will fall / The empire will fall

I´m going down to the underground / Peace is not found / I´m blowin´ off in the atmosphere / Peace is not there / Brothers and sisters won´t you help me please / ´Cause nowhere is where i can´t find peace / I don´t believe in the shiny things / That the future brings / The golden future brings / Pin down a needle and connect your fate / Peace is getting late / In the centre of a blurred line / Peace buys some time / Brothers and sisters won´t you help me please / ´Cause nowhere is where i can´t find peace / I don´t believe in the shiny things / That the future brings / The golden future brings / The golden future brings / The golden future brings / Oh i don´t believe in the shiny things / Brothers and sisters put my soul at ease / `Cause nowhere is where i can´t find peace / I don´t believe in the shiny things / That the future brings / That the future brings / The golden future bings

It´s always been the same / Sliding away / Never meant to stay / Sliding away / Everybody´s got a plan / Take me for a bit of everything / It´s always been the same / Slide, slide away / Change it if you can / Slide, slide away / Everybody´s got a plan / Take me for a bit of everything / I´m sliding like a rope from your hand / Forgive me for forgetting who i am / Who i am / Everybody´s got a plan / Take me for a bit of everything / I´m sliding like a rope from your hand / Forgive me for forgetting who i am

9 NO EASY WAY

There´s no easy way coming ´round the corner my man / In the clash of the city in the palms of my hand / I write symbols on walls i pin pages with words / My man didn´t come home my baby´s lost in the world / There´s no easy way out, you can scream and shout / There´s no easy way out / No easy way out / The clouds are all paid and the bets are all set / Got needles in the hay, got needles in your bed / You got a book of dreams that´s burning in your head / You got traces of blood around the silhouette / There´s no easy way out, you can scream and shout / There´s no easy way out, / No easy way / There´s no easy way out, you can scream and shout / There´s no easy way out / No easy way out / All those beautiful things in the deep of the night / Getting ready to live getting ready to die / All those beautiful things that circle ´round about / There´s no easy way out / (You can scream and shout) / There´s no easy way out you can scream and shout / There´s no easy way out / No easy way out / No easy way out / No easy way out / No easy way out / No easy way

10 FOOLS

And i see it´s the end of the line / And i feel as it runs down the spine / And i taste every drop of the rain / And i find there is nothing to gain / But the foolish dreaming / The birds in the sky sing / Birds of prey, birds of steel, birds of grey / Walls and hearts at the end of the day / And i taste smoke that comes from the flame / And i find there is nothing to gain / But the foolish dreaming / The birds in the sky sing / But i am now listening / to none but the foolish dreaming / foolish dreaming

11 STRANGE ALCHEMY

Strange alchemy has brought us here / Dazed islands of desire / This world was not made for you and me / It was meant to be set on fire / Strange alchemy on the way, on the way, on the way / On the way / What you can see is so unclear / Ripping pages from the fable / Come over me, the world is here / It´s burning in the cradle / Strange alchemy on the way, on the way, on the way / Nothing is save / And nothing is clear / I find you today / Strange alchemy on the way / On the way / Strange alchemy on the way / On the way

12 MAKE SOME ROOM

Burn and burn / Slow return, when it comes / Down to Earth / To make a hole / Are you having fun? / In the rain / That comes falling, falling on the plate again / From the high sky that is so heavy, heavy tripping / Make some room / Make some room / Make some room / Make some room for the feeling / Room for the feeling / Room for the feeling / Make some room / It dies too soon, when it comes / Down to Earth / For what it´s worth / Are you having fun? / Make some room / Make some room Make some room / Make some room for the feeling / Room for the feeling / Room for the feeling / Room for the feeling / Room for the feeling / Room for the feeling
