Lock Me Out
06:41
|
|||
i'm numb to the sun and my own voice
i'm too distracted to make my own choice
a wonder, promised by blinking lights
a hole for one, two or ten more nights
please, lock me out before i give in
please, save me from me and my sin
play with the spiral that's out of control
that breaks me and makes me whole
went to a friend who promised me to write a check
but i only found a letter and a rope around his neck
distant memories revolve around my kids and wife
never had time for any of them, but i guess that's life
please, lock me out before i give in
please, save me from me and my sin
play with the spiral that's out of control
that breaks me and makes me whole
but one day, i will make it all up
if i just could give it up

Part-Time Savior
09:41
|
|||
always keep the closet closed
clean it up from the outside
no looking into me anymore
just photos 'til your eyes get sore
'cause i'm a part-time savior
i also work as a full-time traitor
got more followers than jesus
and i'll never go on hiatus
i'll always get my photos right
wonder what they'll do with it at night
experienced my own sick shit
my empty message - deal with it
for the moneymakers, i'm pure gold
'cause i can relate to insecure 15-year olds
doesn't matter if i need someone to reach out to
'cause i've got so many to reach out to
'cause i'm a part-time savior
i also work as a full-time traitor
got more messages than gandhi
me and you, but mostly me
i have got no offline life
keep the closet locked tight
for seven seconds, i am me, myself and i
but what about the rest of my life?
started out doing something that mattered
or so i thought as my beliefs were shattered
now i am just a whore for the lens
the smile bright as ever, mind and body tense
'cause i'm a part-time savior
i also work as a full-time traitor
got my own religion because of you
but now what do i do?

Count To Three
07:44
|

i could be
if i would see
i might be
if i found me
if i talk to the head
if i am still not dead
if i found the thread
if it leads to lead
when i am there
for you, just air
when i am gone
for me, it's done
i am sure
i've got the cure
i will see
what i might be
i count the seconds
and the sky, it blackens
and i count to three
hopefully i have found me

Consciously
05:57
|
|||
taking everything
giving nothing but death
what gives us the right?
where is our regret?
being blessed with prosperity
yet expanding our abundance
at the expense of our world
at the expense of ourselves
though many do see
where our road is gonna lead
they're waiting for everyone else
to make the first step
the machines keep running
with all of us involved
we're all preformed gear wheels
made to fit the death machine
why don't they see?
they have to break out
they're killing themselves consciously
i want to believe
that they will see
they're killing themselves consciously
are we able to change?
are we able to change our ways?
to break all our habits?
to turn the corner at last?
when we get to the point
when it's all too late
will we just cease to be?
or will you save our kind and give us one more chance?
i want to believe
that we'll someday see
we're killing ourselves consciously
our time's running up
to take our only chance
to cherish what we're dependent on
while it's not yet too late
i want to believe
oh when will we see
...consciously?

A Day And Twelve Years
04:22
|
|||
floated down a river, arm in arm
made eye contact with a headless man
shot down the mice, yet did no harm
at ten o'clock, when the day began
walked around the world in about an hour
repeatedly flew up and down a tower
said hi to the stars on the ice
and laughed at the men being bad guys
when the man of stone is looking proud
and we are laughing often and loud
all smiles and never shed any tears
a day is as good as twelve years
watched a mexican deal an ace
found that boring and flew to space
but there were coming more and more
so we walked through the backdoor
and who could forget the ghost ship
with the man and his torn jeans
we turned so fast, he almost slipped
you gotta be careful with these machines
never mind the father watching from the bridge
he always knew that this would make us rich
all smiles, despite the age, no fears
a day will be as good as twelve years

One-Day Visit
04:20
|
|||
so what if it looked strange
if they said grow up and change
if the street goes downhill
might as well have my will
one-day visit in another world
hello and goodbye, goodbye and hello
revelation
you've got a lot to learn, a lot to grow
periodic destruction leads to grief
what comes must eventually leave
even space has got no place
and i can't find the ace anymore
and the belt goes on and on
be it late night or dawn
whether it be twelve years or a day
i will be right there

Isolator
05:05
|
|||
too much, everything is everywhere
cars and noise and stories shared
can't keep the whirling head in check
need a decompression, a stream of black
a filter above my neck (the isolator)
so i can stay on track (thank me later)
i am alone, i can concentrate
i see nothing, sealing my fate
monstrous steel and a breathing tube
complex world now in a simple cube
focus, focus on the task at hand
ideas to grab, ideas so grand
two slots in black and white and oxygen
condense, mass, just count to ten
pen and paper, the mind is freed
i have got everything i need
reach the pinnacle if i block them away
when i have it, i'll make them pay
expel the light which shines too bright
collect the dark which makes me right
a filter above my neck (the isolator)
so i can stay on track (thank me later)

Look Inside
07:40
|
|||
let me have a look inside
i suppose i know what i will find
though i'm curious about the sight
into you and your kind
you see the devil in everyone of them
though you have never in your life met anyone of them
you wear the empathic cross around your neck and still don't see
that not a word that leaves your mouth represents what empathy means
well i don't blame you
'cause you don't know any other way
or maybe i do
'cause you have a heart
don't you hear what it says?
let me have a look inside
trust me, it won't hurt
maybe i can find the fault
and fix it
they might take away (what you haven't earned)
who are you to decide they don't deserve (the same as you)
they might have benefits (by accident)
who are you to blame them for nothing?
your head is full of fear and jealousy
pride and prejudice is all you know
but i fear i cannot fix you
'cause i am too naive and have a long way to go
i don't envy you
life must be hard
only hate and blame
for no reason at all

Derelict Sun Troisdorf, Germany
Having played together in the German Death Metal Band "Expire" for quite a few years, we decided to initiate a new project focusing on progressive music. Since we've always been home in the many rock and metal genres, that is where "Derelict Sun" still has its roots, but in order to being open for new ideas and influences, we won't limit ourselves to specific genres or standards. ... more
