lyrics

you play with words
say war means peace
carve it into stone
build up defeat

you’re building bombs
you play the fool
and you put a gun
in my little hands

when i come home
i find a hole
good day i want
my good life back

a man who finds
the sticking pole
he walks across
the dying souls

wanna live wanna live
in a gentle world
where i do not need
to hide behind a mask
i’m gonna live gonna live
in a gentle world

man falls apart
no blood was shed
only flesh and bones
and burning beds

it knows no bounds
it provides no guide
might just carry me
back to your praise

a man who follows
his heart of gold
the money you’ve made
sure that’s enough

the lies you speak
i look too deep
good day i want
my good life back

no bullets fly
no bombs are dropped
in a gentle world

won’t follow your trail
into the ground
wont help you up
won’t hand you down

i’m a gentle soul
buried me in mud
good day i won’t
get my good life done

Some highlights have been gathered on two recently released compilations: volume 1 contains the best instrumentals, volume 2 the best songs. All done in good taste and for the enjoyment of music. Since 2006. ... more
