      IO
 
      sitting on the beach
      looking at the nightsky
      I've seen the news today
      where will it finally end
      do I really have to follow
      follow them on their self-distructive path

      there is a compulsion
      that makes me do things
      I don't wanna do
      and this conflict
      with its contradictory poles
      rules my life

      back and forth
      right and wrong
      forced to something
      far too long
      break out
      back and forth
      right and wrong
      far too long

      a moon of the 5th
      as a symbol for human kind
      glowing by the presence of two
      the wonder of love reduced
      to a function of hormones
      the wonder of life reduced
      to a reaction of instincts
      the wonder of belief misused
      for power for power
      the blindness of both
      as an answer to the
      separation of one
      science in its contempt
      religion in its selfishness
      the origin of both
      neglected by both

      back and forth
      right and wrong
      forced to something
      far too long
      break out
      back and forth
      right and wrong
      far too long

      why should someone who sees
      follow the blind ones  
      
     
      THE GATE

      white walls
      cold light
      beeping sounds
      people gathering around
      a beautiful tune somewhere
      frantic voices becoming softer
      drowned by the swirling melody
      filling my head
      sight becoming blurred
      a tunnel of light attracting me
      I pass through
      a feeling of freedom flows to me
      freedom flows through me

      I see a lovely being smiling gently
      welcome back my dear
      a voice like chimes
      I've been waiting for you
      are you willing
      I don't know
      I still have so much to do
      I'd like to stay and rest
      but my children are so young
      they need me as their guiding hand
      it's your choise it answers

      by now I've recognized the being
      and look forward to see it again
      with new energy and will not to forget
      I make my way back
      a flash of light
      beeping sounds come back to me
      I focuse my view
      on reliefed looking faces
      I smile in remembrance  

     
      THE SILVERTHREAD

      I close my eyes
      I regulate my breath
      I free my mind and gather myself
      without my body I lean to my left side
      I slip out of it
      I look back to my body
      and the connected silverthread
      I see the now visible beings around me
      I start my journey
      I pass woods seas and fields
      I only have to imagine a place
      and within the wink of an eye I'm there

      I visit a city
      I see crowded people
      made unhappy by the greyness
      I visit a country
      I see starving people
      made hungry by the mighty
      I visit a jungle
      I see its native people
      made homeless by the greedy

      I hear the crying of the world
      and I join in
      
 
      CARRION

      deep deep down the silence covers your ears
      no light will ever reach it depths it watches
      high above cold winds pass the black dunes
      a feather jerks in the storm till it looses the fight
      whirls around drowns in black masses

      life life stops stops in slowmotion
      a suffering still-life caught in this potion
      yet it struggles struggles raped by men
      still it watches

      squirming and gleaming bubbles bursting
      breathing out their stench
      every noise is suffocated slowly very slowly
      creamy molasses sinking deepening the silence

      stopping life in slowmotion movement ceases
      never to come back
      still it watches powerless to clench onto life
      its breathing ceases completely and the feather slowly drifting by

      life life stops stops in slowmotion
      a suffering still-life caught in this potion
      yet it struggles struggles raped by men
      still it watches

      raped by men

      THE SEEKER

      Oliver had a dream
      he dreamt that all made sense
      everything was very logical
      he dreamt of birds and butterflies
      of dimensions in a stern structure
      and time as the only truth
      Oliver had a dream
      everything was very very logical
      and time as the only truth

      mislead and blinded
      by his logic
      caught in a labyrinth of time
      neglecting speculations
      neglecting timeless existence
      oh what a fool he is
      answers so near
      understanding so far away

      Oliver was so sure
      that everything needs proof
      to be true
      Oliver thinks himself always right
      but what can his opinion change
      I'm so small he thinks
      but oliver when a small stone is thrown
      into a quite lake
      the whole sea is moved

      oh Oliver
      there are so many of your kind
      too many of your kind

      mislead and blinded
      by his logic
      caught in a labyrinth of time
      neglecting speculations
      neglecting timeless existence
      oh what a fool he is
      answers so near
      understanding so far away  

     
      THE SWAMP OF SECRECY

      they float through our nightsky
      they are observing us
      they are brothers and sisters
      who are only allowed to watch

      their fear of masshysteria
      dosn't excuse their mocking
      of humanity

      it's said leaders of every nation
      have had contact with them
      the pope got a message
      and keeps it well hidden in a safe

      if you see them and live in the states
      be aware of black dressed man
      'cause your country has a special interest
      in keeping these facts a secret

      their fear of masshysteria
      dosn't excuse their mocking
      of humanity

      why don't they spread the word
      of their discoveries on mars
      the pyramids and the stone human faces
      looking into space
      with tears in their eyes

      their fear of masshysteria
      dosn't excuse their mocking
      of humanity
 
    
      TERRA INCOGNITA

      he says
      imagine a planet whose inhabitans
      have only two sexes
      she says
      imagine a planet whose inhabitans
      oppress themselves
      it says
      imagine a planet whose inhabitans
      exploit the weak

      they look at the stars and laugh

      on this planet he says
      imagine beings poisoning their oceans
      she says
      imagine these beings destroying their environment
      it says
      imagine these beings polluting their air

      they shake their heads and think how funny

      on this world he says
      imagine a race who say
      they're the most intelligent
      she says
      imagine this race annihilating
      the other species
      it says
      imagine this race
      annihilating themselves

      such suicidal stupitity can only be fiction
      they finally say

      
      RENASCENCE

      Ajam lives in the steppe
      he loves the rolling hills
      the warm dry winds
      but his wife's love touches
      his heart the most
      her grace surpasses even
      the brightness of the stars
      her gentle voice soothes his mind

      pure love

      then came the sad day
      riders raped his wife
      he lost his face
      the elders decided
      that she must go
      through tearfull eyes
      he watched her leave
      should I renounce my pride
      and follow her into death
      he decides and never smiles again

      Adam lives in a big town
      he loves his job
      his car and his life-style
      but most of all he loves his wife
      her endless energy
      her beauty her wit and charm

      then came the sad day
      her test was positive
      he watched her lose her strength
      he decides to cancel his job
      for the rest of her life
      he'll stay by her side
      when the end came
      he held her hand
      and he told her that he
      always loved her and always will

      I love you too


      ANTIDOTE

      blood in my veins
      pumping pumping pumping
      a strange kind of numbness
      in my head and my legs

      maybe years ago a tiny sting
      released a chainreaction
      I'm watching gloomy TV
      this makes me wanna scream

      I need the antidote
      so please be my antidote
      and let us be the antidote
      for this kind of brain-paralysis

      all these liars and palliators
      canonize the destroing doings
      and what you see is a caricature
      of how bad it really is
      increase of economy by force of arms
      military service in a nuclear reactor
      asylum for big earners only
      and tomorrow we fire god
      they've got their own language
      to express their destruction
      sweet rippling words
      for growing growing growing
      hypnotising headlines shall make
      you drowsy drowsy
      that's the way they want you to be
      'cause that's your function

      I need the antidote
      so please be my antidote
      and let us be the antidote
      for this kind of brain-paralysis

      wake me up
      'cause time is slipping away
      the term is nearly at the end
      but the more you change yourself
      the more you change the others
 
     
      EQUILIBRIUM

      why are you crying my dear
      do you think you're being
      treated unfairly again
      well why do you think
      this happened to you
      don't you think there's
      a reason for it
      every effect has its cause
      and every action returns to its origin
      a pendulum that's pushed
      always swings back
      so why are you crying my dear
      why are you crying my dear
      treated unfairly again
      have you ever treated
      someone like that before
      to injure someone means to injure yourself
      to inflict pain upon some
      means to inflict pain upon yourself

      everything has its two poles
