Aktuelles Album - NO LIMITS

This is the place where my cradle once stood
just a few steps away in my direct neighbourhood.
And I grew up beneath these waving fields
so mighty and majestic they still seem to me.

Here I went to school and learned everything
to rise to the occasion to do my own thing.
The first nervous kiss with the girl who became my wife
we sealed our love under this wide open sky.

My place and my home,
right here I belong!

We raised our children they taught me what love can mean
and it was here that most of my dreams became real.
This is my heartland it’s all I need
one day in this ground they’ll bury me.

The big city lights they’re not meant for me
’cause I don’t wanna live in anonymity.
But friday night here with me and my friends
you can be sure this night will never end.

My place and my home,
right here I belong!

She searches for bottles in garbage cans
for some lousy euros every day.
’Cause she doesn’t know how to pay the bills
since her husband passed away.

Life can be such a mess
with its ups and downs,
you can lose your way.
Life can be such a mess
it can knock you out
and you go astray!

First he lost his job then he lost his wife
and finally lost his home but not even that could take his pride.
Now every evening he’s in search of a warm safe place to sleep
when he packs his things there is not much to keep.

But don’t give up just hold on.
Carry on, carry on!
Don’t let this life bring you down.
Carry on, carry on!

He’s flush with money every day more and more
but deep inside he doesn’t know what he’s really looking for.
All of this luxury and a beautyful wife
couldn’t fill the void in his heart and in his life.

You worry ’bout tomorrow and you’re scared by yesterday
good luck is just a stranger who doesn’t want to stay.
You’ve come to terms with these bitter circumstances
and you feel passed by by all these precious chances.

It’s time for a change what are you waiting for,
time to rearrange ’cause today is your day.
It’s time for a change find what you are looking for
time to rearrange ’cause today is your day.

Every time for sure it’s someone else’s fault
this is the the trap in which you’re caught.
You feel so betrayed by your own destiny
you’re going to get lost in a life full of agony.

Take a step in a new direction
and this will start your own resurrection!

It’s time for a change what are you waiting for,
time to rearrange ’cause today is your day.
Forget about the past forget yesterday!
Make a brand new start ’cause today is your day.

…’cause everyday is your day

The day of my recruitment shattered my whole life
for the emperors glory I left my family behind.
With a marching song on our lips and the weapons in our hands
we boarded these trains heading for a war romance.

But you better believe me my dear son
there’s nothing romantic in what I’ve done!

Believe me my son all I desire,
is to forget somehow when we walked fields of fire.
I wake up in a cold sweat still every damned night
’cause I can’t forget when we walked fields of fire.

Frazzled bodys and the smell of decay,
soon filled the trenches by night and by day.
I saw young boys dying while they were screaming for their moms
and as we waded in their blood fell one by one.

Constant gunfire lit up our nights
and every step we took we took with sudden death in sight.

And now you’re standing in my door maybe our last goodbye
for leader and for homeland it’s you this time.
Don’t leave me my son all I desire
is to keep you away from these fields of fire!

I wake up…
…’cause I still walk fields of fire

This one goes out to the people I love
my family and friends are the best things in life I know.
You build me up when I’m almost down and out.
When I take off you put my feet back on the ground.

Best things in life that’s what you mean to me.
Best things in life always come for free.
You are the best that could happen to me!

And this goes out to all the beloved who passed away
you’re still here in my memory you will stay.
You gave me affection without preconditions from the start
forever young you will remain in my heart.

Best things in life that’s what you mean to me.
Best things in life always come for free.
You are the best that could happen to me!

And this one’s for all who don’t know me anymore
dispute filled our hearts and false pride built this wall.
From your point of view you were surely right
but I could’nt act any other way at that time.

And this one goes out to you my sweet love
after all this years you’re still my best friend!

Do you feel frustrated do you feel so bored
all your friends are out and you don’t know where to go.
You’re just hanging around here with nothing to do
come and join us it’s up to you…

So c’mon
(are you) ready for action,
(do you) want satisfaction,
…ready for action?
A real loud attraction!

Forget about the bad times forget about the sad times
and for shure about the real mad times.
’Cause we love it loud and you’ll love the song
together we can sing it so loud and strong.

So c’mon
here is the action,
a real satisfaction,
here is the action,
a real loud attraction!

we won’t leave here, ’til our story is told
so raise your hands and voice before the night get’s to old
’cause you love it loud and we’ve got the song
c’mon let’s sing so loud and strong

In our modern media world full of shining lights
where so many fakes blind your eyes.
It ain’t always easy – easy to see
what is illusion – and what is real!

You can count on me and I’ll count on you,
for sure it’s the best we can do.

I can be I can be – I can be your satellite
the two of us together – we can make it right.
I can be I can be – I can be your satellite
on this pitch black night – I’ll be your satelite.

A thousand „friends“ are always online
but a real good buddy is so hard to find.
I’m in search of someone, someone real,
without tricks without deceit.

I will count on you like you can count on me
we will be great if we can live in harmony…

You can be you can be – you can be my satellite
the two of us together – we can make it right.
You can be you can be – you can be my satellite
on this pitch black night – be my satellite.

Control is good trust is better
this will guide us through storm and heavy weather
we can speak eye to eye
without tricks without a lie

I can be I can be – I can be your satellite
the two of us together – we can make it right.
You can be you can be – you can be my satellite
on this pitch black night – be my satellite

The two of us together, we can make it right.
On this pitch black night we can be like satellites
we can be our own satellites…

The old photographs show my moments in time
snapped in colour and some in black’n white.
They tell ’bout adventures so exiting and wild
that we often lost track of time.

Days seemed to be endless and we were so curious and brave
we conquered this small town in our own childlike way.
No mobiles and tablets blocked our ways –
a bunch of little rebels who knew how to play.

The tales of my childhood they’re still here,
covered in this album are they still so near.
The tales of my childhood the base of my life
of all what I am and will be in my lifetime…

We made our own experiences many good and some bad
autonomy was a privilege we had.
Now I’m in my fourties got a few kids of my own
and I’m really so excited ’bout which way they’ll go.

This one shows me later with my first guitar
three strange chords but we felt like superstars!
Here’s one – shows you behind your first drums
„Small Town“-heroes ready to „Jump“ into a „Rattle And Hum“!

We are seven billion people – seven billion different lives
and everyone sees this world – through their own eyes.
A word like „normal“ – is so hard to define
when what seems wrong to you – to me looks right.

We need some tolerance
in our lives,
in our hearts
and in our minds …

It doesn’t matter to me – what people say ’bout you.
They’re gabbing all day long – no matter if it’s true.
It doesn’t matter to me – if you’re red black or white
yellow or brown – or maybe striped!

We need some tolerance
in our lives,
in our hearts
and in our minds …

You can come as you are – feel welcome and free.
I won’t bite you as long – as you don’t bite me.
We’re all sitting in the same boat – sailing the same sea
there is a lot more than we think – in what we agree!

So often we feel miles apart,
’cause we don’t speak the language of our hearts.
Then you feel sad and I’m so blue,
but there is something we can do.

So many things stay unspoken
to many seals remain unbroken.
Don’t you forget who I am.
I won’t harm you I’m your friend.

Make me see, talk to me,
c’mon and c’mon and talk to me.
Ttrust in me and walk this way with me,
take a chance c’mon and talk to me.

Your daily job exhausts you,
that’s something I know, too.
But our relationship won’t become better,
if we don’t try to change our weather.

We can speak a common tongue
when we’re really searching for one
and all the things which drive us so apart
will be spoken away by the language of our hearts…

I don’t believe in all that I’m told.
I don’t believe it’s weakness to become old.
I don’t believe in polite superficiality,
this won’t impress me.

I don’t believe in Mercedes Benz
and for sure not in a right by violence.
I don’t believe in blind faith
or superiority by colour’n race that ain’t no rock’n roll.

Don’t tell me, tell me, tell me!
Don’t tell me what I gotta believe!
Don’t tell me, tell me, tell me!
Don’t sell me who I gotta be!

I don’t believe it’s all that I can see.
It’s just a small part of a much wider reality.
From where we come and to where we’ll go
there’s still so much what we don’t know!

I don’t believe technology can do everything
this could be for sure the final bell we’ll ring
I don’t believe in extremes ‚cause I know the
truth lies in between!

I know some folks unable to cry,
some don’t know how, some even not why.
When you feel sad so sad and small,
when you can cry you’re a lucky man at all!

There are many people, living down on the streets.
With nothing to posse, with nothing to eat!
If you don’t know this, don’t know this at all,
you can be so sure you’re a lucky man at all!

So many people always want more,
but they even don’t know what they’re looking for.

There are many hearts feeling so lonely
trying everything to meet the one and only!
When you’ve got someone someone to hold on to.
When somebody loves you you’re the lucky man at all…
Do you feel mighty, do you feel so tall?
You better should not forget to be a lucky man at all…

From your first steps with the help of my hands,
it won’t take long and you’ll be a man.
’Cause time flies damned much to fast
and soon your future will be your past.

May the good luck always be with you
and a good fortune in all you’ll do.
May my love sow its seed into your heart
and there’ll be nothing to drive us apart.

Believe in me, I believe in you,
there’s so much that we can do!
Believe in me, I believe in you,
there’s so much we have to do…

I’m honored with you, my sweet little girl.
With your beautiful smile you’ll win the whole world .
Let your dreams be your guiding light
and they’ll light up the darkest night.

Stir up your own rebellion
’cause nothing needs to stay the same.
Trust in your own ideas
and walk your own way

And some far day when I’ve reached my journey’s end
I hope you’ll be there to hold my hand.

From our first breath ’till our last
we build our life on our past
we look away to many times
treat others like strangers, ain’t it a crime?

I believe what we’ll gather
for sure is what we sow,
how can someone, mistreated and forced,
forget his pain and forget its cause?

Don’t tolerate, don’t tolerate this,
don’t surrender, don’t surrender to indifference!

How can a child who’s been mistreated,
forget his fear and don’t feel cheated.
Show some respect, give them all a chance.
We can’t survive on indifference…

I don’t wanna be treated in this way,
you’re insulting me with the things you say.
Just because my opinion isn’t the same as yours,
there’s no need to offend there’s no need to refuse…

Recognize me!

You’ve got no notion how deep it hurts,
how you cut my heart with you words.
And I don’t wanna be hurted in the way you do
’cause that’s not the way that I treat you.

All that I want is a little faith and respect,
in the way you behave and in the way you act!
I wanna be accepted as the man who I am
with all my mistakes, with all my strengths!

I am surrounded by this warm tender night,
I enjoy the beauty of nature deep inside,
I’ve been to churches temples and mosques
with a view from my heart they looked as one to me.

How do you pray
for your soul and the new day!

I love to listen to the wind in the trees,
to the gently wisdoms he whispers to me
I see the different religions praying for salvation,
praying to one god asking for revelation.

I admire the stars on this warm beautiful night
’cause I see god within the endless sky…

Are you a restless man with a restless mind?
Searchin‘ for answers you still couldn’t find.
Do you feel this yearning deep in your heart,
to set off for new shores and you can’t wait to start.

Follow your vision believe in your vision!

Do you feel this hunger deep inside of you?
Experience is the door you wanna walk through.
And you can’t stand still and you can’t wait.
’Cause you wanna find out what waits on your way.

Let your fantasy be your guiding light,
’cause she’s the one money can’t buy.
So do what you’ve got to do
and believe in what your heart tells you…

Tell me all your truths, tell me all your lies.
Show me the abysses hidden deep in your mind.
Lead me to the ties that tie you up inside.
Let me see the world through your eyes!

Open your heart, open your mind!

Show me all your secrets, protected from view.
All the things you desire to do.
Discover your own treasure, hidden deep inside.
And you’ll discover yourself in a ray of light.

I wanna feel the reason for all your tears
don’t be afraid of your own fears…

Out on these plains I’ve heard the wind, so many times,
I’ve heard the song he sings, so many times.
I’ve seen the stars. well, so many nights.
I’ve felt their truth under the dark, blue sky.

Territory, this sacred soil is my glory!

I’ve seen the sun changing night to day.
Danced to her honor, to her I’ve prayed.
I’ve seen your trails and the civilization they bring!
I’ve heard your cannons and the song they sing!

Territory, this sacred soil is my glory!

You feel lied, you feel hurt
you feel betrayed by the spoken word.
I’ve got my opinion, you’ve got yours
‚bout right and ‚bout wrong.

Fist to hand, fist to hand fist to hand,
boy becomes man.

You feel so angry, you want to give it back
you want satisfaction, you want revenge.
See the mighty hereos in the news,
everybody’s got to do what he chooses.‚

Fist to hand, fist to hand, fist to hand,
boy becomes man.

To jugde with the fist‚
does it give „that much“ to you?
Is physical strength the way you choose?

Every day I beg, I beg for relief,
every night I pray, I pray for release!
Call it resurrection, call it suicide
when you let the world vanish out of sight.

Give me something to hold on,
to make my world turn around!

I’m in fear, of goin‘ insane,
I need something to numb my brain
I need something of that kind of stuff,
that blows your doubts away,
that blows your mind off!

Give me something to hold on,
to make my world turn around!

At the entrance of this railwaystation,
on the last step of civilization,
I hope and I beg for a relief,
I hope and I pray for release.

I gotta talk, gotta fight this swoon,
damned to retention in a children’s room.
She’s so sweet, she’s so fine,
I feel her horror when he comes inside.

No one knows, no one hears,
closed doors, closed ears.

He comes to her, when mum’s not around‚
and neighbours don’t want any trouble‚
in this small town.
She tries to be brave like she’s been told,
she’s got no choice, she’s ten years old.

No one knows, no one hears,
closed doors, closed ears.

She won’t loose a word, she swallows her fear,
so often at night she clutches at me, the bear.
I gotta talk, gotta fight this swoon,
damned to retention, damned to be helpless‚
in a children’s room.

I say black, you say white,
I want left, ’cause you want right.
You’ve got yours and I’ve got mine,
you want loose ’cause I want tight.

So many little barriers,
between woman and man,
so many little agressions between friends.

Appreciation, conversation, salvation, manifestation.

We’re all sharing the same earth,
we’re all breathing the same air.
I believe that it is worth‚
to share our problems with true faith.

Sometimes politicians ain’t what they promise to you,
streetbarricades in your way,
you can’t get it through!
See the soldiers standing there,
guns in their hands
and you can’t stand the injustice
in your own land!

Do we really still
have to answer fire with fire,
fighting guns with guns
will make you a liar!

They steal what you own,
guns roaring in the night
they take what they can get,
but they can’t take your pride‚
So you make up your mind,
cause you wanna stay,
but before you shoot,
point the guns away.

They’re in the papers, they’re on TV,
they try to sell their way things to see!
Everybody wants to tell me what to do,
I don’t care, I see it my way, yes I do!

I do it my way ’cause this is my life!
I’ll do it my way ’till the day I’ll die!

I really don’t care what they think about me.
I know myself and what is the best for me!
Don’t believe in anything they wanna „prove“!
I’ve got my own head and eyes to see!

A ride out of the city, a long trip from home,
to places where still still lives and heals the wound!
The mighty highway cuts through the land,
cuts through the nature, cuts without end.

Ain’t nobody ’round here to hear my prayer?
Ain’t nobody ’round here to hear what I’m saying?

See the crowds, crowds rushing by,
searching for contents, they surely won’t find.
We bury everything under trails of concrete
Indifference is a suicide machine!

Ain’t no body ’round here to hear my prayer?
Ain’t nobody ’round here to hear what I’m saying?

In the surroundings of make believe
everything seems perfectly designed as on TV!
So let’s lay the trenches down on everything,
use it exactly this suicide machine!

Did you hear the news?
Do you believe what they say?
Do you believe that it’s true?
They’re searching for me.
I’m on the run. I’ve gotta get free!

Tonight I’ve gotta see you,
tonight I need you babe,
tonight I’ve gotta feel you…
When the lights go down,
when the lights go down…

Did you hear the news?
Do you believe what they say?
Do you believe that it’s true?
No way out of this misery,
so I’ll take a little trip,
cause this is the wrong place for me.

You call it economizing, I call it betrayal!
Useless waste of taxe that you don’t pay!
It makes me feel so angry the hypocritical words
of your election campaings while we get kicked of work!

I’ve been lied, all down the line,
I’ve been lied, one too many a time!

You call it social justice, I call it shit!
Increasing your income permanently,
yeah you know all the tricks!
It makes me sick to see you on TV,
retracting the things you promised on your knees!

I’ve been lied, all down the line,
I’ve been lied, one too many a time!

Mr. Politician, won’t you help me now?
I gotta whole lot of nothing and this ride ain’t for free!
I wouldn’t believe you, even if you’d look into my eyes,I’ve yust been lied one too many a time!

Walking the streets of my hometown,
I see our lifestyle, turnin‘ upside down!
I see scared faces, I see lonely hearts,
and I ask myself, what drives us apart!

Look behind the facade, free your mind,
slip through the barricades and discover your real size!

Days ruled by screens, days when you forget to think,
living beneath one another, while we’re losing the connecting link!
In this rigid world so stingy ’bout a chance,
we shouldn’t forget to dance!

Look behind the facade, free your mind,
slip through the barricades and discover your real size!

So many eyes don’t see the signs of time,
we’re all running down a dead line!
What about you and what about me
and the persons we pretend to be?

Your strength grows and you feel young again.
One more time for a thousand years,
you try again to stand.
You don’t ever think ‚bout the things you’ve done.
You still roll on blind, though I’ve hoped you had gone.

Don’t you knock on my door!
I’ve seen your face before!
You better get of again,
’cause I know your name!

You don’t believe in joy!
You never use your heart.
You destroy our sanctuaries!
You cut the believers apart.

Still you kill every different opinion!
You use your violence, like you’ve ever done.

Don’t you knock on my door!
I’ve seen your face before!
you better get of again,
’cause I know your name!

I can’t forget you!
’though I’ve grown older,
I can’t forget the things you did.
You and your soldiers, I remember the smoulder!

I walk the streets like a broken man.
Can’t you understand what I mean?
Passed things made me feel so blue,
no satisfaction in my view!

I wish you were here, right in my room,
I need you here, still got so much to do.

Dancin‘ shadows on my wall,
every time I look I hear your call.
Passed things made me feel so blue,
no satisfaction in my view!

I don’t want your gift and I don’t need your gold.
I really don’t intend to call lower goods my own!
’Cause baby this is a world ruled by numbers!
We’re under control, by day and by night.

Let it go by workin‘ on ourselves.
Let’s go straight ahead!
All we need is our devotion,
to cure ourselves!

I really don’t search for lots of money
and I don’t need velvet to be somebody!
’Cause baby this is a world ruled by numbers.
We’re under control, by day and by night.

Man comes home, watches TV.
Man plays war, gotta know how it feels!
Man takes a gun, man takes life.
Man puts another man from this to the other side!

Ain’t no glory, ain’t no glory,
ain’t no glory, ain’t no glory in violence.

Take a look around, what you see isn’t new:
Man is bound, man is you!
Given lines in your life.
When you’re gone nothin‘ remains
but doubts in your sight.
Change yourself, it won’t be the same!

Take a trip to the other side!
Set the flames on fire, burnin‘ so bright!

Everything dies, that’s a fact!
But maybe everything that dies, someday comes back!

So they ordered me, said they need my help.
To defend freedom for a country I’ve never been!
I packed my bags, said good-bye to my babe!
Said: „I’ll be back soon, maybe!“

Promises spoken, with the hand on the heart!
Promises broken, so this means war!

So I left my home to fight my enemies.
Though politics never meant that much to me.
Fear can drive you insane! When guns light up the night
and your weapon is everything to hold on tight!

Promises spoken, with the hand on the heart!
Promises broken, so this means war!

Repentance can drive you crazy
lookin‘ at a lifeless body.
It really drives you crazy, when your hands are bloody.

Never got things ready, never got them done.
We’re stumbling in the dark. Solutions on the run.
I’m watching the world from my window!
So different ways strength flow.

Easy comes and the day breaks!
Easy goes and the night awakes!
Easy comes and the world changes!
Easy goes and the mirror breaks!

Sometimes it needs a long, long thorny way
to break the rules and reach the aim!
I’m watching the world from my window!
Sometimes dangerous ways politicians rule!

Easy comes and the day breaks!
Easy goes and the night awakes!
Easy comes and the world changes!
Easy goes and the mirror breaks!

They hunt for money, don’t care what is on your mind!
You’re a very good target, so easy to find!
Playin‘ games in the water,
spreading waterfontains into the air,
until the first harpoon rips up your thick skin!

Big Whale, king of the ocean.
Livin‘ in peace and devotion.

There’s blood on the water.
A last beat of the great fin,
before they pull out their ties to get your body in!

Your hunters don’t know!
what they do! They’ve got no notion,
what they do to you! Big whale!

Coldhearted men don’t always posses coldhearted eyes.
They don’t ever spread coldhearted stills.
They only spread coldhearted lies!
They do sums and they really don’t care.
By makin‘ good turn over ’bout them to bare!

Well, colours will fade and a smile turns to a scream,
when our childrens bill someday becomes clear.

Poisened rain, poisened earth.
Poisened minds bringin‘ poisened birth!
A threatening silence is comin‘ up
as present times blindness reaches it’s top!

Everything comes to it’s end
and nothing stays the same.
Today I’m here and gone tomorrow.
It’s always a changing game!

Say goodbye, say goodbye.
Let me say goodbye.

Some things happen
and same things are meant to be.
Sometimes you can’t run away
from your own destiny!
