eidgenoss my ass I’m so sick of your shit and your stupid talking, all backwoods hick and your provincial backwater, that you are not swiss, that you are swiss confederates, what does this mean to you? are you better than the people that came to this country before a generation or two or even much more? welcome to our new millennium, why don’t you come along and join in? are you really proud where you were born? good job done! next step you read a book for your education, maybe one day you can think clear and stop talking shit! take down your flag and your anti-foreign slogans, tolerance and cosmopolitan attitudes instead of xenophobia, swallow your bitterness ignorance is bliss, pride and ignorance are akin, we came as one and we are all the same no matter where you're from, and where you belong, we came as one and we are here to say forget your foolish pride, start using your mind, better or bitter? you are the one to change yourself! we came as one and we are all the same no matter where you're from, and where you belong, we came as one and we are here to say forget your foolish pride, start using your mind, use your mind!

Headwind 03:25
headwind I just want to move but I’m stuck in life, my life is a rerun, I don’t need a prove for an inner strife, and I wash my face, comb my hair, stand up once again, no I won’t let it get me down, a cold headwind, rain in my face, but I won’t let my heart freeze, no I won’t let my heart freeze and I walk on by with my head held high, I’ve seen this episode, and in the darkest night I can focus on some light, and I wash my face, comb my hair, stand up once again, no I won’t let it get me down, a cold headwind, rain in my face, but I won’t let my heart freeze, no I won’t let my heart freeze not this time, I won’t back down, no downtime, I snatch the crown, I will resist and I will fight, no blacklist, the future’s bright, if I fall I will rise again, if I fall I will rise again

I am not a racist, but… stupid people reading stupid report this are no great news, pass a comment with no substance just some verbal abuse, something goes terribly wrong, you’re too dumb to notice, where’s your education from? blame immigrants for this, you lost your job can’t find a new one you know who is to blame, people that don’t speak our language, come on that’s really lame, you’re just one more stupid racist, you chicken shit bastard, spending holidays in turkey, you’re a hypocrite master
4.
A Thin Line 03:10
a thin line the last few months you have spent endless time in a hospital bed, fighting the thin line between life and death, trying not to lose your head, how much more can you take? how long until you break? how can you still endure this intense pain? you’re starring at the blank wall, a vacant expression can’t stop your fall, one more devastating diagnosis, while your mother keeps holding your hand, she’ll be by your side until the end, accept your fears and keep your focus on hope, you have lost muscles and weight, it’s really hard to see you this way, you’re caught in your damn own nightmare, between reality and dream state, how long can you go on? someday the pain will be gone, you just have to believe in yourself, still starring at the blank wall, are there any good information at all? still waiting and hoping for better days, your father sits on the edge of your bed, “one day you will come home” he said, keep your eyes fixed on your recovery, when it all seems to be falling apart, your loved ones are always around, help to instill hope in your heart, so it will not anchor you down
5.
Our Last Day 02:50
our last day I can barely breath I’m fighting for breath, my shirt is drenched with cold sweat, I’m feeling lost I’m leaving the room, looking for help summon the nurse, your body is shaking twisted white eyes, struggling with death do not go! ten minutes before you have made two steps, you’ve told me stories and you’ve laughed, as you always have done it, your whole very long lifetime, a real warm-hearted person, one of everyone likes, your time is not up yet, not all the stories are told, the pendulum clock weight has not reached the bottom of the floor, you were always an inspiring example in what you’ve said and done, you lived your life with passion you were always on the run, encourage your community, reached out to your friends in need
6.
humanity out of town 18 years and you’re standing all alone, unwanted pregnancy turned your whole life upside down, the child’s father left you and abandoned by family, people passing by mainly ignoring you, you feel invisible, the streets are filled with shame, the nights are getting colder on the street, your park bench has no heating and no bed sheet, your four-season duvet is a paper and you cannot turn off the wind like a radio, wind is getting up, degrees below freezing, no one’s on your side, no shelter to hide, welcome to my nightmare, it’s my lovely home, lean back and read my diary, welcome to my world, you feel invisible, the streets are filled with shame, no one’s on your side, no shelter to hide, panic-driven life, angst-ridden future, welcome to my nightmare, it’s my lovely home, lean back and read my diary, welcome to my world, it’s all real, it’s so real, it’s all real
7.
modern world or still dark ages? why is there so much hate right out your front door? something that we can no longer ignore, or it is too late? an inexorable fate? how do you feel asleep at the wheel? like nuclear fuel that can’t be cooled? we have to react and fight back, when will we live on this planet with no discrimination? a new world formation? when will we bury intolerance, when will we learn? were you raised to believe that certain people are inferior to you? do you believe these people should not be accepted for who they are? Open your eyes it is the time to rise, and speak out the truth let’s all make a move, we have to strive against xenophobia, when will we learn to see the beauty of diversity, solidarity? one common global society, when will we learn? where did we lose all our empathy, our humanity and our dignity? we have to respect all living beings, when will we learn? we all failed in philanthropy, we keep subverting our morality, when will we learn? so, when will we learn?

no reason to change once when we were young, we have started this band just to have fun, we all grew up together, we know each other more than twenty-five years, those were the days when everything was right, when every single day was just perfect, those were the days, those were the times, that shaped us and made us who we are now, no reason to change and we carry on, we will be friends until we die
9.
the color scheme of my life one more year is passing by, not much changed I realize, anything else would be a lie, a good health is what I miss, keep on running into the abyss, once again I’ve broken my own promises, I will fall back again, all colors turn to grey, all those years were so simple than, and I miss all my good friends, why it’s not the same again? we used to be a like a family, from time to time we see us here, these moments are like gold for me, happy birthday to myself, isolated in my shell, conversation is going well, do you remember how to place a call? it’s time to tear down this wall! it’s really just a very small thing after all, let’s blow out all the dust, let the shine into my home, let’s go back to the start, all those years were so simple than, and I miss all my good friends, why it’s not the same again, we used to be a like a family, from time to time we see us here, these moments are like gold for me, all those years were so simple than
10.
one life to live so many choices to make but not one would fit, so many chances and not even one hit, and we can see no way to follow, we got no time, we were too slow and now we’re too old, no heroic sublime, we all have something to regret, something we ‘ll never can forget, all our decisions we made totally wrong, all our dreams that we had are all long gone, a life devoured by doubts black frightening clouds, in search of fulfillment, everything fades away will you still be there? what will remain? we all have something to regret, something we ‘ll never can forget, everything’s falling down, no bird sings when hope drowns, don’t waste your time you only have one life to live, or you will look back in anger what you may have missed one life to live!
