Tear 06:44
There is a tear running through this land Such a strange tear that I might never understand There is a tear dividing this whole crowd And now I fear that our time is running out There is a tear running through my hand Such a strange tear that I might never understand There are more tears running in this crowd And now I fear that our time is running out

They closed the gates thinking it would Change the world around them They closed their eyes thinking it would Alter their reality They say they plead for freedom of speech But only if it suits them They think they got it all figured out But they're locked inside their echo chamber They’re shouting and they don’t see How ugly they’re inside When they're shouting what they think Are they actually thinking at all? This is not the World I want to live in These are not the People I choose as my friends And if they think That they rule us here They will find out That they’re not the majority - - - and they can’t change a thing So they have their own little life And their own narrow mind Trying to keep the strangers out Of their empty, hollow world The louder they shout the more Ridiculous they are We will not recede, we are The thinking, caring crowd This is not the World I want to live in These are not the People I choose as my friends And if they think That they rule us here They will find out That they’re not the majority - - - and they can’t change - - - they can’t change a thing

Rivers 05:58
They said, "Stop to think it out yourself, Take a world view off our shelf." They said, "Just these rivers run to sea, If you want to get there follow me." Since the walk on dry land feels so tough There's a point you had enough Jump into the stream speed down the drain Then piece by piece you shut down your brain Close mind Blind faith Hollow Follow Charismatic is the way they speak Lighten up the life that's bleak Eloquent disguise of dubious views When one feels there is not much to lose Though the march feels wonky you pursue While they fine-tune every screw Until they've made your reality And their view is all that you can see Close mind Blind faith Hollow Follow Finally, congrats, part of the crew You're recruited, spread the view Like some dangerous pollen on the land Lure them to the rivers, off the sand Close mind (Don't you question, just follow the rivers) Blind faith (Don't you question, just follow the rivers) Hollow (Don't you question, just follow the rivers) Follow

They came to us pretending to improve things By stirring up our inner deepest fears Their golden flute of promises would lure us Onto a dangerous path we sought with cheers And on and on and on and on and on we danced into the night Without a thought and without fear and without fright Of course there also were the ones that warned us But we just shoved away the gloomy tones So smiling we sawed off the branch we sat on Pretending we were building our new thrones And on and on and on and on and on we danced into the night Without a thought and without fear and without fright So let that be a lesson to y'all So let that be a lesson to y'all We never realised the exact moment At which we crossed the point of no return But at one point you cannot keep ignoring That houses, districts, cities, countries burn And on and on and on and on and on we slipped into the night Without the courage, without hope and without light Well, to a place that's already divided A further mental wedge just rips the ground And by the time we realised our wrong move It was too late, the future had been drowned And on and on and on and on and on we stumbled through the night Whilst realising that we wronged the right So let that be a lesson to y'all So let that be a lesson to y'all So let that be a lesson to y'all So let that be a lesson to y'all So let that be a lesson to y'all

Hey, why won't you look at me? I'm right there in front of you Just there in your eyesight I'm there within your reach Just shift your gaze around to me Hey, why won't you speak to me? Don't you want my opinion? Or are you playing that game: Let's pretend all is well Pretending seems to be The state of mankind To leave the weak behind So, why is the world like this? When did we accept this? Out of eyesight out of mind Let's pretend all is well Pretending seems to be The state of mankind To leave the weak behind We share our lives, we share our lights Don't waste it in depths of space The dire dark depths of space There is another way to this, you know There really is another way for this, you know

Broken bridge, we have to take the long way Around until we get there I know it's long, I see it in your faces Can I count on you? Dark days, one might think they're alone there But we all have the same fate And what seems impossible alone can Be reached collectively Just when it seemed the way was finally easing You see it melting into the haze Sometimes we have to stride a long way The day's just up ahead Hold on to us, as friends backing each other (Hold on, won't give up, while a ray of hope) We'll take the way together again (is shining 'round here) Hold on to us, we're friends backing each other (Hold on, won't give up, while a ray of hope) Together we'll reach the other side (is shining) Broken bridge, we will support each other And step by step, we will get there I know I can count on you forever A thought can comfort you To know, we will push through

about

Album no. XLIII.

In early 2016, I started writing songs for a new album about the state of the world in times of the Brexit referendum and the US election. After the results of those, it wasn't really fun to continue, so I left the project half finished. Now, in 2020, we have problems with the Brexit referendum and a US election — so, totally different times. Oh wait, and there's COVID19. What a year. But, well, I've finally finished the album.
