In the moment
I keep coming back to it one more time
It is my rhythm, it is my rhyme
When I rose and I fell, I sank and I swam
When I breathed, breathed some more and then breathed again
That is when the joy I feel now began
I made a decision and refused to drown
I breathed in the joy of simple existance
And fear has laid down its crown
It is my rhythm, it is my rhyme
When I rose and I fell, I sank and I swam
When I breathed, breathed some more and then breathed again
That is when the joy I feel now began
I made a decision and refused to drown
I breathed in the joy of simple existance
And fear has laid down its crown

Inside the bag
A bag of stone I carry around
Inside are riches and terrors abound
The inside is what I crave to see
The inside of the bag is me
Why is it of stone? A fair question you ask
Because it is so hard to connect
With what lies underneath the first thought and impulse
It takes great courage to really reflect
Often I only saw through the cracks
When something made noise and the outside shattered
I could get a glimpse of what really mattered
In retracing the steps I took on wrong tracks
I urge you do not go this way may...

Eternity
Writing these notes
Hearing these sounds
Writing these lyrics
This poetry
These words
I wonder
What will come of it?
What will become of me?
In all my time
Will it be
A rhyme
Or just meaningless words?
Will they tell my story?
Most likely not
I will vanish unseen
I will be forgot
Generations to come not remember my name
And in due time dies the flame
And only ashes remain
And still I hold hope
In my heart, it's my song
Of the words everlasting
Of the one...

Born
Every day
Begins a new way
The way of tomorrow still far
The way of the now is our star
A small journey awaits
Will it rain on the fields?
Will sadness, adversity
Sow seeds of new strength?
Or will the sun shine to see
A man who is free?
Each morning, from sleep torn
A new path opens, a fragment of road
And the question is answered
I can carry the load!
And nightfall will see me safe and content
If with this mindset I live
That every day, from sleep torn
We are
Born
Begins a new way
The way of tomorrow still far
The way of the now is our star
A small journey awaits
Will it rain on the fields?
Will sadness, adversity
Sow seeds of new strength?
Or will the sun shine to see
A man who is free?
Each morning, from sleep torn
A new path opens, a fragment of road
And the question is answered
I can carry the load!
And nightfall will see me safe and content
If with this mindset I live
That every day, from sleep torn
We are
Born

Welcome Home
Through a golden door
I run
I slam
It shut
Behind me
Am I free?
Things to do require my attention
Free time wants to be lived with all its might
I want it all
I can not fail to see it all
Give me every channel
Every picture, every sound and every thought
Then I will be happy
Input input input what I sought
The golden door
Oh god its light is blinding
The toys, the charm
All there is to adore
But I loose it
And I find myself
On a stranded shore
Of frantically...
I run

The flower and the stone
There was a flower near a river
It smiled so bright and true
It's the reason for this story
That's written, dear child, for you
It whispered to its sisters
How it would much like to be taken
Away to see the wide world
But her wish would see her forsaken
For a traveller came by the river
As he saw her he plugged the flower
And took her to a castle
Set her high for the world to see
And all came to bask in her beauty
And all laid down their gifts
But none returned her companions
The smile that her spirit...

This is why
I was forged by fire
A slave to desire
Mindfire burned me
Yearning to be free
And this is why
I did not know who I was
I pretended I did
And believed the mask
The striver
The one for whom it is never enough
Admire me, admire me!
What a laugh
Only the lake is worthy
Only the mountain is worthy
Only the tree is worthy
Of admiration
Only what can just be
Is truly free
I turn my back on who I was
I live the joy of good enough
I revel in the silent moments ...
A slave to desire
Mindfire burned me
Yearning to be free
And this is why
I did not know who I was
I pretended I did
And believed the mask

The one for whom it is never enough
Admire me, admire me!
What a laugh
Only the lake is worthy

Only the tree is worthy

Only what can just be
Is truly free
I turn my back on who I was

What no one can take away from you
I searched so long
Through every storm
And every sunshine
It made me restless
When would life bless
Me with what I sought?
Everything can be taken away
On every path you can go astray
It's enough to make a man despair
Holding on sometimes feels like grasping air
What is there? What is there lasting, tell me what is there?
Nothing
But this nothing is not desperation
This nothing is the answer
Breath
The flow of the divine
Makes you one with this one thing
When everything can fail...

A wish for all of you
In this moment
After three years of pain and sometimes inner agony
I found a haven
Where everything is as it's supposed to be
Going to work during the day
Sinking into games and books by evening time
It sounds so much like ordinary living
It's what I wanted, it's the perfect ryhme
All dreams of "something special" are now resting
Under the golden blanket of self-understanding
All of those dreams where just a craving to belong
But for me this ambition is now sleeping, almost gone
What more is there to say?
It is...

The hall of whispers
A fear?
A vision?
Or a possibility?
Whatever it is
This is important
Well, at least to me
There may once be a story
Of our people leaving earth
A desolate, barren planet
This is not what we deserve
They go from planet to planet
Deceive natives into worship
Empire in the stars is growing
And empire build on lies
Bright lights deceive into cries
Into masks of pure perfection
People swearing, people tearing
To bring down white marble halls
Until a giant once calls
And brings the...

Mad Dog
Tick tock, tick tock,
The years have gone by
Like an eagle can fly
And I still struggle with you
Mad dog
Behind the calm exterior
A wild animal lives
And when I let it out it gives
The devil his due
Not simply a „wild side“, but out of control
You tried to destroy me
But I am not done
I rule this body
You are ruler of none
And my song will rise
While yours is gone
Dark winds, take his melody
Carry it far, far away from me
In the howling storm
I...

The Ice
There was a king, about whom they sing
The riches were never ending
In the stories they tell, it is glory they sell
Will we ever stop pretending?
While the money is flowing, the ice is growing
For the love of his kin conquered glorious land
For his footsteps in time should not be made of sand
Remnants will keep alive, the one who did strive
To make his land prosper, to make his kin thrive
While the glory is flowing, the ice is growing
In the midst of the night they celebrate
The joy and the mass of wealth they...
