Father in heaven, you are my judge You found me guilty but I don't know of what (I will help your memory) Life is a cruel place and cruel is your game Who wants to survive has to support all this shame (so show responsibility) You got your fun Now you'd better run 'Cause I'll let you be In your banned destiny Lies to a children's face and lies straihgt back There is a Santa but no torture rack (Know the devil in disguise) Given false security and blessed wiht false fears Ignorace enables us to function for years (And when it all breaks down you'll see) We've got to fight Life is not fair So let's break free From our banned destiny Let's face the end I'ts always close and where it goes is where we will be. I can see the light at the end of this tunnel. Follow me, it's the light that shows me where to go. Where are you? You better don't be late, so hurry up, we mustn't lose time by standing here and... Wait I'm afraid, I've never seen something like this before, I never needed a light to go. Wait a minute, you can call me crazy, but hold on. It's not the only one, isn't that too easy? Eat or be eaten we know what's to do Maybe this time, we bit off more than we can chew So show responsibility We've got to fight Life is not fair So let's break free From our banned destiny Let's face the end I'ts always close and where it goes is where we will be.

I’ll take it off I’ve seen enough stop the play give it all away All alone I walk Into the dark this way I chose ‘cause I’ve got nothing to lose. When all joy is over Nothing surprises you anymore Nothing seems to fit or make a sense It all seems to be there just to hurt you once again and you are falling into an endless hole waiting for you to hit the ground and you yeah you, you don’t care anymore. I’ll take it off I’ve seen enough stop the play give it all away All alone I walk Into the dark this way I chose ‘cause I’ve got nothing to lose. When all friends betrayed you nobody’s there to trust anymore trying to get you wrong on purpose and everything you say will be played against you and oh so well meant tips will help themselves the most either you’re to nice or you’re an asshole and there you stand between the devil and the deep blue sea. I’ll take it off I’ve seen enough stop the play give it all away All alone I walk Into the dark this way I chose ‘cause I’ve got nothing to lose. I’ll take it off I’ve seen enough stop the play give it all away All alone I walk Into the dark this way I chose ‘cause I’ve got nothing to lose.

Come change the weather with a letter to a beggar and bring us higher with desire of a liar and then we we will be like we're free you will see and then we we will be like we're free you will see then we're gonna be... and then I feel it's not real it won't heal and I I could puke from that you can and you will and Oh all I need to be free let me be and I Oh all I need to be free let me be then we're gonna be ... pointless is the prophecy (8x)

Dead Empathy 04:43
No time No choice Lockstep, complete the mission Don’t fit damnit Got hit follow your vision Your voice your aim shall kill my pain Progress justifies sacrifices Then you thank all your devoted supporters but gratitude never meant a fuckin’ thing to you. Hold on, it’s time to say what you really feel like No reason is strong enough to hide the truth for the so-called better. You always got everything affordable to compensate attention and company and then caged in your own belongings all other life seemed unreal to you Empathy was never meant if no one’s there no one’s to lose. Hold on, it’s time to say what you really feel like No reason is strong enough to hide the truth for the so-called better. Wake up, it doesn’t matter what they say, when you know you’re right ‘cause who’ll say “thank you!” in the end when you’re underground. Now give a way to the biggest brat on the playground resistance is in vain feel honoured to contribute to his outstanding plans. Isolated neglected, you’re in a puppet society Superficial reasons will justify a fight in your favour. Being different is no disease, it’s just another excuse for others to get you down. So stand up now and let us know how you see things! Don’t let them get you down Don’t let them get you down Hold on, it’s time to say what you really feel like No reason is strong enough to hide the truth for the so-called better. Wake up, it doesn’t matter what they say, when you know you’re right ‘cause who’ll say “thank you!” in the end when you’re underground.

Oh, I’m so glad having met a person like you and it’s easy to see you would always take others first. Until you know if you can take advantage of them but I guess that you don’t even know ‘cause you’re so busy to show. You’re so fuckin’ nice, then you pay the price for your lies then leave me alone. Pride yourself on your throne like it’s your own but leave me alone. And beneficial ones become your suitors and your gossip friends next day they wonder why you don’t even know them and people fall for you again and again but still you wonder why there people are who don’t like you. You’re so fuckin’ nice, then you pay the price for your lies then leave me alone. Pride yourself on your throne like it’s your own but leave me alone. And beneficial ones become your suitors and your gossip friends next day they wonder why you don’t even know them and people fall for you again and again but still you wonder why there people are who don’t like you. And there you sit thinkin’ about profit practising your smile to bend over denial and when people get, that you don’t give a shit they would look like fools against do-gooders rules. And beneficial ones become your suitors and your gossip friends next day they wonder why you don’t even know them and people fall for you again and again but still you wonder why there people are who don’t like you.

S.A.N.S.N.P. 04:55
Your questions are commands Your compliments sound like insults Carefully avoiding all kind words You keep writing your lists about everything you hate About me, about me making sure everyone knows. And I wonder how it works Spending all your energy in hate By keeping up your perfect face Staying the darling of anyone else Maybe I still didn’t get it right what your true intentions are. Maybe I still didn’t get it right but I guess you don’t like me that much. Your answers can be rude Your punishment can be hard Carefully exploiting all gentleness. You know how to talk you know how to make people wanna believe In everything you want them to, making sure everyone follows. And I wonder how it works Spending all your energy in hate By keeping up your perfect face Staying the darling of anyone else Maybe I still didn’t get it right what your true intentions are. Maybe I still didn’t get it right but I guess you don’t like me that much. And it appears so false to be well-behaved So weak to be kind, as your unintended servant Your success makes people wanna be like you They’re gonna follow your heartless rules. And if generousness is gonna make you fall And if tolerance is gonna trick us all And if generousness is gonna make you fall And if tolerance is gonna trick us all And I wonder how it works Spending all your energy in hate By keeping up your perfect face Staying the darling of anyone else Maybe I still didn’t get it right what your true intentions are. Maybe I still didn’t get it right but I guess you don’t like me that much.

Hagwon 02:40
Somewhere in a place next to nowhere From behind the walls of silence Coming from between these emotionless faces You will hear the most wondrous noises Screams of spirit leaving the room Half of the night is over soon Lockstep lockstep the robots are dancing For team objectives the prestige enhancing HAAAGWOOON dusty books fill empty hearts HAGWOOON our way destined before it starts HAAAGWOOON always something more to give HAGWOOON never good enough to live Wasting time by working too slowly making use of it by always working Asleep you work and awake you sleep It’s only pressure what you need Friendly calm and weird individuals Trying to fit our general ideals The way you’re right someone else is wrong But Zombie-fashion prefers the strong

Deep Blue 07:19
There comes another stormy day my nutshell pram leads me astray I feel the floor under my feet and the wild waters under it It’s this one journey of a life that you have to take alone you may be right, you may be wrong you may not know where you belong Go south to where the sharks are fast go north and come into a storm go east follow your destiny go west believe in what you see Where do you go? Nail your colors to the mast! Where do you go? Staring at the water it reflects what my confidence neglects where is the person that I’ve been no sign of life and in my eyes no gleam My highest hopes my guidance were until my path came to obscure the floods hit right into my face and turned my dreams into disgrace To the End I sail they will tell you if I failed in all conscience I’ll be back no more and things won’t be like before one’s joy, one’s sorrow Straying around on the deep blue sea the waters wisely laugh at me some call it weak if you have to seek but’ll they persist if their boats leak? And what’s called objectivity in another light looks like insanity it’s just another thing you state with the license to indoctrinate Where do you go, nail your colors to the mast. Where do you go? My boat is out of control to many directions are leading you the waters spin me around I’ll help you out a siren’s singing to me your imagination is great today I’m gonna go my way a trip to the hell To the End I sail they will tell you if I failed in all conscience I’ll be back no more and things won’t be like before one’s joy, one’s sorrow

Dirty Daisy 03:35
Snow white, with a yellow heart, which wasn't white enough for the perfect daisy, But this is what she was, Washed away all that yellow with white dirt, until she was as white, as the hell Snow white with one foot in the heaven and the other in the hell she's a dirty daisy but this is what she is Snow white with one foot in the heaven and the other in the hell she's a dirty daisy Dug her roots cut her wings and burnt her name, just to be a part of the nothing But this is what she wants Lost herself on a never ending way but it's a snow white way, it must be good. Snow white with one foot in the heaven and the other in the hell she's a dirty daisy but this is what she is Snow white with one foot in the heaven and the other in the hell she's a dirty daisy She makes you kiss her bloody face, she knows she's going to loose the race Heart locked away from reality in innocence and insanity Snow white with one foot in the heaven and the other in the hell she's a dirty daisy but this is what she is Snow white with one foot in the heaven and the other in the hell she's a dirty daisy

Back in the same place again, where days are short and hours are long Where people are tired and need to pretend that they're happy all the time Colourful crowds run through the city and try to find some words, for things nobody knows let's find out something new, I guess nobody ever looked at this tree from this view. Let's breathe some fresh air, against this pressure, they keep on reading idealistic things by following their guides on the path of the least resistence You don't know who we are but you treat us like idiots, which we're gonna stay until we graduate then we'll be master in artificial occupation, but it's one aim, one way waiting for next generation Once we belived in our abilities, before we learned that we just must be dumb. before we knew that knowledge was might, they took our confidence to keep us quiet. 400 pages, will take you ages, they'll bring you credits, so fuck their content, but scientific please impressing words nobody understands don't have to make a sense multiple choice, will prove our wisdom, of understanding, the way a question's meant, but what you can't explain, we are supposed to know, so who's gonna raise his hand? You don't know who we are but you treat us like idiots, which, we're gonna stay until we graduate then we'll be master in artificial occupation, but it's one aim, one way waiting for next generation.

The Hatchet 05:34
A long long time ago I did not think about what I did and what people thought about it, I was a child I did not realize that every step I took and every word I said were making me to a member of a party, a party I did not know that every childish little feeling was a betrayal to the people I should love and I should thank on my knees How should I have known that every innocent little thing I did in good faith was making me to your enemy, your enemy And then I started to understand the rules of this game, I felt so ashamed of evertything I was and all I wished was to disappear The price of peace cannot be payed, as long as everyone is looking for blood If I try to please you and to make up, you won't listen you just want me to stop But you want more than I can pay, you always want me there and out of your way Our fuckin' pride, oh, what a loss, not even time can burry the hatchet for us. Freedom for everyone sounds great, but tell me who is actually free, no politician, no country, no farmer not even you and me. So I told them, what they wanted to hear to keep my ass away from their black list but it was in vain, because my name has already been there for years. The price of peace cannot be payed, as long as everyone is looking for blood If I try to please you and to make up, you won't listen you just want me to stop But you want more than I can pay, you always want me there and out of your way Our fuckin' pride, oh, what a loss, not even time can burry the hatchet for us. What have I done ? What could I do ? Whatever I try Makes no difference to you Makes no difference to you... Hate needs no reason All it needs is an excuse It wants your abasement until you're willing to comply demands what is priceless to prevent you from making amends The price of peace cannot be payed as long as everyone is looking for blood If I try to please you and to make up you won't listen you just want me to stop But you want more than I can pay, you always want me there and out of your way Our fuckin' pride, oh, what a loss, not even time can burry the hatchet for us. So I let you hate me I have no choice I'll go my way And all I can hope for you is that lead by hate, you're not ending up in that place, where you wanted me to have.

Ticket to Nowhere Ettiswil, Switzerland

Ticket to Nowhere aus Luzern verbinden in ihrer Musik, was scheinbar nicht zusammenpasst. Und dennoch fühlt es sich an, als ob diese energetische und in höchster Präzision vorgetragene Mischung aus Post-Hardcore und Progressive-Metal schon immer so zusammengehört hätte. Mit ihrem innovativen Rezept haben die den jungen Zentralschweizern 2017 den Zürcher Bandcontest "Mach Krach" gewonnen. ... more
