  1. Songtext

    Woke to static in my veins,
    shadows whisper through the chains,
    every promise that we burned
    was a lesson never learned.

    Through the cities made of glass,
    through the dreams that couldn’t last,
    I still hear the echo call —
    from the rise before the fall.

    In the silence I can feel,
    what the gods could not conceal,
    and the memory still bleeds…
    it never sleeps.

    Eternum — we are the fire in the cold,
    Eternum — the story never told,
    in the ruins of our names,
    we remain,
    we remain.

    Neon ghosts and wired skin,
    hollow hearts that pulse within,
    we were born and built to fade,
    but we fight what we made.

    Every breath a borrowed lie,
    every code a lullaby,
    still we scream against the void —
    we were never just destroyed.

    In the static I can see,
    what was left of you and me,
    and the truth cuts through the pain —
    it speaks my name.

    Eternum — we are the fire in the cold,
    Eternum — the story never told,
    in the ruins of our names,
    we remain,
    we remain.

    And if the sun forgets to rise,
    we’ll light the dark with what survives,
    in the dust of all we’ve done,
    we are one, we are one.

    Eternum — we are the fire in the cold,
    Eternum — the story never told,
    through the silence, through the pain,
    we remain…
    we remain.

  2. Songtext

    In einer Welt ohne Gnade
    In einer Welt aus Schuld

    In einer Welt die nichts verzeiht
    In einer Welt ohne Menschlichkeit
    Da bist du Sklave der Elite
    Und Kranksein zahlt nicht deine Miete

    Das wird nicht geduldet, das darf nicht sein
    Dann kommen sie und holen dich hinein

    Du wirst bezahlen, so oder so
    Und glaube mir, sie finden dich, Bro
    Du hast Organe, du hast Blut
    Da nützt dir wenig deine Wut

    Daddy, where are you tonight
    They took you screaming from my sight
    I’m all alone, where did you go
    Does anybody even know

    Das nennen sie Fortschritt, nennen es Zukunft
    Doch bei all dem Handeln, wo bleibt die Vernunft
    Sie träumen vom Leben das niemals endet
    Auf Kosten von uns, bis nichts mehr bleibt

    Ein Foto liegt auf kaltem Stein
    Ein Kind das fragt, warum muss das sein
    Die Antwort kommt von keinem Mund
    Die Wahrheit liegt begraben, tief im Grund

    Daddy, where are you tonight
    They took you screaming from my sight
    I’m all alone, where did you go
    Does anybody even know

    Doch es gibt sie, die die sich wehren
    Die sich nicht von anderen nähren
    Sie stehen auf, bilden ein Heer
    Und bald, ja bald gibt es keine Elite mehr

    Gerechtigkeit, ein Recht auf Leben
    Das muss es auf dieser Erde geben
    Gleicher als gleich, niemand schwer reich
    Niemand versklavt, ungerecht bestraft

    We want our lives, we want them back
    No more blood on their golden track
    We are the ones who won’t forget
    This is a fight that’s not over yet

    Daddy, I’m still waiting here
    Every night I feel you near
    Will you come back home to me
    I just want us to be free

    Daddy wo bist du

  3. Songtext

    They say I don’t belong...
    Maybe so...

    I’m standing in the light
    With nothing in these hands
    Just a heart that won’t quit beating
    For a world that don’t understand
    Been waiting for a sign
    That someone still might care
    But all I hear is war drums
    Pounding everywhere

    The smoke keeps rising up
    Ashes fall like snow
    You’re counting bodies, waving flags
    Never reaping what you sow

    They say: Move along now
    You don’t belong round here
    No place for quiet hoping
    When the hate is all we hear

    I am the peace you don’t want
    But I’m still here
    Still standing here
    I am the hope you left for dead
    But I ain’t gone
    Lord, I carry on

    Still here
    I’m still here
    Still here
    We’re all still here
    Still here
    We ain’t leaving

    I hold my arms out wide
    For anyone in need
    I’m waiting in the silence
    Praying someone sees

    But you strike before I speak
    Won’t let me have my say
    The children keep on falling
    Mamas kneel and pray
    That’s what you call power?

    They laugh: You fool, wake up
    Open your eyes and see
    The world wants blood, not dreamers
    Got no use for you and me

    You’re sitting safe in towers
    Made of money, made of stone
    You send our sons to die out there
    Then leave us here alone
    You start the wars from way up high
    But never lose no sleep
    It’s us who carry coffins home
    It’s us who have to weep

    I am the peace you don’t want
    But I’m still here
    Still standing here

    I held my hands out just for you
    You filled them up with lead
    I walk the rows of white stone crosses
    Whispering to the dead
    They ain’t coming home no more
    Never see their babies grow
    Tell me now: Was it worth it?
    Tell me: Was it worth your soul?

    I am the peace you don’t want
    But I’m still here
    I’m still standing here
    We are the hope that won’t lay down
    And we stand tall
    WE STAND TALL
    WE’LL ALWAYS STAND

    I’m still here...
    Just come home.

  4. Songtext

    I see the skyline shining bright at night,
    a world of velvet rooms and quiet lives.
    Where doors are open long before they try,
    and every step looks easy from the outside.
    They talk about hard work, about the climb,
    but some are born already halfway high.
    And down below, the lights don’t shine as wide
    some dreams get smaller just trying to survive.

    And I wonder, do they ever look down?
    Do they hear the quiet breaking on the ground?
    Do they know the cost of keeping hope alive… on our side?

    Cause what I see is a world leaning out of balance slowly.
    A distance growing where the heart should be.
    And I can’t unsee all the ones holding on with tired hands,
    still believing they can stand a chance.
    Oh, what I see is a world that needs
    a little more healing, a little more feeling.
    And I can’t stay quiet… about what I see.

    I see a mother counting coins at night,
    choosing which bill can wait this time.
    A kid pretending everything’s alright
    cause children learn too early how to hide.
    They call it bad luck or just the game,
    but no one chooses to lose this way.
    Some roads are heavy before they begin,
    and all they ask is a chance to win.

    And I wonder, does anyone know
    how heavy life feels far below?
    How many voices fall before they’re heard… without a word?

    Cause what I see is a world leaning out of balance slowly.
    A distance growing where the heart should be.
    And I can’t unsee all the ones holding on with tired hands,
    still believing they can stand a chance.
    Oh, what I see is a world that needs
    a little more healing, a little more feeling.
    And I can’t stay quiet… about what I see.
    I’m not pointing fingers, I just want us to listen.
    Cause kindness is fading when no one pays attention.
    The world keeps turning but someone might fall
    and we could be the reason they make it at all.

    What I see is a world leaning back toward the daylight
    slowly, when someone chooses empathy.
    And I believe every change begins
    with one small spark in an ordinary human heart.
    Oh, what I see is a chance for us to start believing, start healing.
    And I won’t stay quiet… about what I see.

  5. Songtext

    We all wear the same uniform
    The one they gave us
    And call it – life

    Friday night – yard time begins
    Two days of choice
    Then back to the cell
    The job calls, of course

    We dance
    ’Cause they let us dance
    Just long enough
    To believe
    It was our idea

    The leash runs so long
    We can’t see the fence
    We call it freedom
    ’Cause truth would be too intense

    We dance
    ’Cause they let us dance
    Just long enough
    To believe
    It was our idea

    I know it
    Still won’t take the uniform off
    What does that say about me
    Why can’t I just walk off?

    Come let’s dance
    Let’s forget about the chains
    Come let’s dance
    True freedom – never ours to claim
    Never possessed
    Never
    Possessed

  6. Songtext

    Grey sky morning, can’t get out of bed
    Heavy blanket, heavier in my head
    Days are short and nights are way too long
    Forgot the words to every summer song

    Looking through the window, world in black and white
    Searching for some colour, searching for the light

    But I know it won’t last forever
    Dark and light belong together

    I’m waiting for the sun
    To warm my frozen heart
    Waiting for the sun
    To make a brand new start
    These winter days will fade
    The light will find a way
    I’m waiting for the sun
    It’s coming, any day

    Coffee’s cold again, I’m staring at the wall
    Can’t remember spring or autumn, can’t recall
    Friends are asking how I’m doing, I say fine
    But honestly I’m barely crossing every line

    Counting down the hours till I sleep again
    Hoping when I wake up, something’s gonna change

    I know it won’t last forever
    Dark and light belong together

    I’m waiting for the sun
    To warm my frozen heart
    Waiting for the sun
    To make a brand new start
    These winter days will fade
    The light will find a way
    I’m waiting for the sun
    It’s coming, any day

    Some days I forget
    That seasons always turn
    Some days I forget
    The light will return

    Hold on, hold on
    The dawn is almost here
    Hold on, hold on
    The sky is gonna clear

    I’m waiting for the sun
    To warm my frozen heart
    Waiting for the sun
    I’ve made it through the dark
    These winter days will fade
    I found another way
    No more waiting for the sun
    I feel it on my face

    The sun is coming
    I can feel it now
    The sun is coming
    Finally

  7. Songtext

    Underneath the silver rain,
    I still whisper your name.
    In the static, in the dark,
    every scar becomes a spark.

    All we built, all we betrayed,
    ashes born of what we made.
    But the fire still remains —
    I can feel it in my veins.

    Eternum…
    nothing fades away.
    Through the silence,
    we still find a way.
    All we lost,
    and all we became…
    Eternum…
    the silence remains.

    Time dissolves, but not the pain,
    every loss repeats again.
    Through the cold of endless skies,
    truth is born where memory dies.

    I still hear the voices call,
    echoes rising through the fall.
    Every end we tried to hide,
    lives within the other side.

    Eternum…
    nothing fades away.
    Through the silence,
    we still find a way.
    All we lost,
    and all we became…
    Eternum…
    the silence remains.

    And if forever means to bleed,
    then forever’s all we need.
    Every tear, a spark of gold,
    burning through what won’t grow old.

    Eternum…
    nothing fades away.
    Through the silence,
    we still find a way.
    In the end,
    we whisper the same…
    Eternum…
    the silence remains.

  8. Songtext

    Neon pulse beneath my skin,
    echoes whisper where we’ve been.
    I can feel you in the sound,
    lost, but never found.

    Every shadow, every flame,
    every heartbeat says your name.
    And I know, through love and pain —
    the silence still remains.

    Eternum… we burn again,
    in the dark, we find the end.
    Eternum… through loss, through pain,
    the silence still remains.

    Eternum… remains… remains…

    Bodies fade, but souls ignite,
    in the rhythm of the night.
    Every dream we let decay,
    still dances in the grey.

    Every sin we can’t erase,
    every tear becomes a trace.
    And I know, though we’ve been changed —
    the silence still remains.

    Eternum… we burn again,
    in the dark, we find the end.
    Eternum… through loss, through pain,
    the silence still remains.

    Re-mains… re-mains… E-ter-num…

    Can you feel it in the light?
    Can you breathe inside the night?
    We were never meant to stay —
    but the silence finds a way.

    Eternum… we burn again,
    from the dark, we rise again.
    Eternum… through loss, through pain,
    the silence still remains.

    Eternum… remains…

  9. Songtext

    You lie on a table of glass and of steel
    They sculpt you again, strip away what you feel
    Your skin becomes satin, your body turns stone
    You’re frozen in beauty – but you’re not your own

    They take what was mortal, the proof that you lived
    The wrinkle, the silver, the scars that you hid
    You burn like a star that refuses to fall
    Immortal, perfected – and nothing at all

    But the final page was never the enemy
    It’s the thread that’s been holding the whole story steady
    Without any ending, no story begins
    The final page – that’s where the meaning is

    At first you devour every word like red wine
    Every chapter’s a fever, you’re lost in the high
    But when nothing can end, all the colors run dry
    A thousand pages deep – and you’ve forgotten why

    Their faces like paintings, so perfect, so still
    No crack in the surface, no sign of the chill
    Who teaches the leaving when no one has left?
    Who shows us the beauty of drawing last breath?

    But the final page was never the enemy
    It’s the thread that’s been holding the whole story steady
    Without any ending, no story begins
    The final page – that’s where the meaning is

    They ran from the dark
    But the dark stood its ground
    It waits where the silence
    Is the only sound

    The body won’t age
    But the soul’s wearing thin
    They still draw breath –
    But there’s no one within

    They write a book that can never be done
    The ink’s fading fast and the pages weigh tons
    Maybe death was never the end of the song
    Maybe death was the rest where the notes all belong

    The final page waits.
    It was never the dark.
    It was the only light
    That could find your heart.
