about

This song began as a protestsong against repression and any type of total regime. But then it turned into another direction. I tried to unterstand the view of people who spoke out and fought against their oppressors and were silenced for the sake of a working totalitarian system or even democracy. Many of them are still imprisoned and slowly forgotten today. They gave away their youth, their lives. They fought for a better life and we have to be committed to help them in every possible way and keep the memory alive.

lyrics

am i dreaming or am i seeing nothing
i've become a broken old man
a traveler between life and death
but my mind has lived today
as i looked at faded pictures
they show me these decayed well groomed dreams

driven only by visions
and while the sun is shining on falling leaves
i never felt so fucking cold
in my head i can hear the very pulse of the machine

i never thought i would become so god damn speechless

can i deny my destiny?
can i be just someone else?
i'm just me and nothing more

are my words useless
even if i speak
like a voice that screams
but is never heard

am i just the only one
who's gifted with a spoken tongue

in these four walls
it's me, myself and i against the world
this world is just illusion trying to change me
and i'm tired of waiting for a savior who never comes

even if i'd lose my breath
you wouldn't forget my last words
these are my last words
we must be the change we wish to see in the world
if we move every chain will break
