Wake-Up Call 02:59
WAKE-UP CALL This is your wake-up call You gonna kill us all How many meltdowns do you need You can’t control the flame you feed This is your wake-up call Burry all atomic waste Out of sight out of mind Leave it to future generations Maybe they will find A way to finally get rid of Our toxic legacy So let’s all enjoy the comforts Of this “clean” technology This is your wake-up call… Whitewash all statistics Single cases trivialized Praise the safety like a mantra We’ll forget that it’s all lies You just have to keep it secret When radiation is set free And we all enjoy the comforts Of this “safe” technology This is your wake-up call… Fukushima, Chernobyl Are memorials to show This is a ticking timebomb And we all know We can’t just wait for the next Worst case scenario Shut them off, tear them down This is your wake-up call…

THIS MEANS WAR Get out of my way I had a fucking day I’m armed just like a ticking bomb To blow up in your face I am so fed up But you still don’t stop To play with fire, light the fuse Until it burns me up There is this rage I can’t ignore It eats my soul Now this means war Shut the fuck up ‘Cause I can’t take it anymore All systems overload I’m about to explode And you try to defuse this bomb By cutting all the wires You drive me fucking mad And all I see is red You better get out of my way Before I lose my head There is this rage I can’t ignore It eats my soul Now this means war… I should calm down And wipe off that frown So I bite my lips bloody Swallow my anger And start to count But there’s this rage I can’t ignore It eats my soul, war Now this means war…

Deadlines 03:11
DEADLINES They appeal and make pleas They condemn and call for peace Lip service, hollow words All die away unheard Another deadline has passed This was so hard-won Another red line’s been crossed Still they’re marching on They stand by helplessly Solutions anyone? Debating society From red lines to deadlines They just try to talk the war away They accuse, they indict With no capacity to act They just name and they shame They bear part of the blame Another deadline has passed This was so hard-won Another red line’s been crossed Still they’re marching on They stand by helplessly Solutions anyone? Debating society From red lines to deadlines… They still debate Just talk and wait They seal their fate As war goes on and on Until it’s too late From red lines to deadlines…

No Pasarán! 03:21
NO PASARÁN! Hey you fascist idiots You’ll never get through Take down your flags and banners Back off and fuck you! When you march we’ll be there To stand in your way When you shout we’ll scream So you can’t be heard We will fight and resist Wherever you show up Fight and resist ‘til you’re gone We will fight and resist Wherever you show up Fight and resist No pasarán! Hey, all you worried assholes Why are you so afraid In fact you are quite scary Idiots on parade When you march we’ll be there To stand in your way When you shout we’ll scream So you can’t be heard We will fight and resist… Hey, indifferent people Speak up and join in Come on, the more the better This time we must win We ain’t those to blame for What happened back then But we are those to care for It doesn’t happen again When they march we’ll be there To stand in their way When they shout we’ll scream So they can’t be heard We will fight and resist...

BYE-BYE BABYLON I hear your call but I move on Just let me go, oh let me go I used to love you Babylon Now let me go, oh let me go Your city lights burn in my eyes You steal my sleep every night It’s time to leave this all behind Just let me go, oh let me go I sneak out in the dawn Before you grab me I’ll be gone So I just keep going 1-2-3-4, I am on the run And I just keep going Gotta leave this burning Babylon So I just keep going I don’t look back ‘cause I am on the run And I just keep going Gotta leave this burning Babylon So I just keep going on I wanna make it on my own I roamed your alleys far too long Just let me go, oh let me go To find a place I can call home Now let me go, oh let me go Your city beat just drives me mad Give me some time to rest my head But you keep me awake instead Just let me go, oh let me go I sneak out in the dawn Before you grab me I’ll be gone So I just keep going 1-2-3-4, I am on the run… Bye-bye burning Babylon

Silence 04:26
SILENCE Stop the sirens Peace and quiet There’s no need for alert No way back now All decisions have been made And so hand in hand we Wait until the war is lost Calm down, we’re almost there Break the silence It’s your last chance Don’t leave quietly Keep no secrets There’s no need to dry my eyes As I’m far too sad to cry Still clinging to your hand I just can’t let go now The silence, the silence The silence screams so loud When the silence screams your name It all comes back again So much left unsaid But no one left to blame The rest is silence War is over A flat line on the screen But peace is far away When it gets sad certainty I close my eyes and See you how you used to be That’s what I keep in mind The silence, the silence… When the silence screams your name It all comes back again What did you try to say Before you went away? I hope that you find peace Sleep well without the dreams Forget about the past Feel free at last The silence, the silence…

Memories 04:34
MEMORIES A photograph in a frame The man on the wall Just a face with a name Every time I explain I paint your picture With stories and memories Oh how you would have loved To watch them learn how to walk Watch them learn how to talk When they ask who you were I say a son and father, like I am now From father to son we pass it on So we never forget where we belong Cause the memory is all that remains So sad and so sorry That you can’t be here Oh I wish you could see us now So sad and so sorry That you can’t be here But I’m sure that you’re with us somehow I come by from time to time A place of remembrance When memories decline And I try to recall Like making out little details On a faded photo From father to son we pass it on So we never forget where we belong Cause the memory is all that remains So sad and so sorry… From father to son we pass it on So we never forget where we belong And we will never be gone Cause we are all kept in fond memory So sad and so sorry…
