Still a Buffalo Soldier 05:06
lyrics
buy track
Right as you’re born, they put you in a ship, Sailing to lands where the landlord is a whip. Where you cannot dream, you can only rot, Nothing though without the big brother’s nod. Buffalo Soldier, that’s what you were made, Chains instead of wings, instead of toys a spade. The course is set, the cage is where you head, Now grab on to your paddle, enough said. I want to bring up children, Peace at mind and soul, Sea gently wash my feet, Sunrise at the shore, Buffalo Soldier, But it’s all worth nothing, If one’s not free at all. The course is set, the cage is where you head, Now grab on to your paddle, enough said. Labor is your goal, fortune is your shame, Think inside the box, play by rules of game. Simplify your mind, keep up with the pace, To win the most primitive annual race. Buffalo Soldier, that’s what you were made, Chains instead of wings, instead of toys a spade.

On the Waves 03:25
lyrics

Soul in a deserted land, Still cold stones on the ground, No helping hands near, You shrugged them all off, And dumped over your dear. I guess there are things that outweigh this ship, This ship and its crew you need on your trip. Her love ain’t sole love you need, Be warned not to concede, Those you loved before, They’ll always love you back, What true friends are for. I guess there are things that outweigh this ship, This ship and its crew you need on your trip, Be a true captain, don’t abandon it, Won’t ever scatter, this ship called friendship. Friend is the rescuing hand, When you drown in quicksand, Won’t just show you the door, He’ll carry you through, To the blissful shores.

She Knows 04:50
lyrics
buy track
She knows who I am, When I am falling far away from here. She knows who I want to be, When I´m losing everything she gave me. She sleeps when I am thinking up all night, About what I have screwed. She smiles when I am calling for some help, She knows I will be saved. Voices in my head, Don’t let me fall into this trap. Voices in my head, Remind me who I used to be. I don´t really need them anymore. To live this life I need only you. She knows who I am, When I am sleeping in her wide open arms. She cries when I forget that she stays, When everything else is gone. She´s there when I feel lonely, Deeply lost in my mental disease. She cries when I leave her alone, In our empty haunted place.

Falling Again 04:12
lyrics

Hello my girl can you hear me? Am I still the reflection in your mirror? If I’m not, it means that I’m falling again. If I’m not, it means that I’m falling again. How long will I last? How deep can I fall? How far am I now? Hello my friend do you wanna see me? Or have I been replaced by someone else? How long will I last? How deep can I fall? How far am I now? How long will you love me?

All Equal 03:03
lyrics
buy track
I’ll reduce debt, I’ll lower tax, As long as I can steal some bucks. I’ll raise your wage, cut the crime rate, Loot the state funds, a full-time pirate. Savour the moment, hero’s come, Too much freedom, let me have some. Make this world place to live in, For me, myself and next of kin. Protests, riots, pissed off people, We’ll just ignore them completely. What gives them rights to command me? Don’t you dare say democracy! Democracy gives you the power to decide, A traitor, a murderer. Who shall have the might? They’ll advise you to choose the smaller evil, This democracy just so goddamn ideal. Freedom and justice and social guarantees, All I need – your vote in the elections, please. Whatever you say, Asian or gay, I’ll bear that in mind, so you know I’m the kind. Public opinion guide me – I’m your tool, So I can wipe my ass with you when I rule.

Ballet with the Demon 03:23
lyrics
buy track
I´m waking up in the midnight, hearing his voice. Even if my thoughts were able to run, They´d have nowhere to go. Every single step fell into his control. Yes it´s my fear that feeds the devil in my soul. Darkness of the moonlight makes me blind. I can only say what´s on his mind. Every single cell fell into his control. Yes my pain feeds the demon of my soul. He tells you what to do. He tells you what to say. Think I am addicted to you. And he knows that. Ballet with the demon, You can´t dance to your own beat. Just you and your fucking shadow, And your head is burning. Ballet with the demon.
