I’m a peaceful man
I heard you call
I’m a helping hand
I can save you all
just let go
enjoy the rise of democracy till it’s done
no need to fear, in the end it’s worth the trouble
meanwhile you better calm down
dawn, another day in here
another day in peace
or so thought but now
it feels like a disease
it’s daily life routine
a sickness can’t be seen
as long as the sheets are clean
I know
that freedom comes from war
it’s rotten to the core
the wagon trains roll in
it’s easy to ignore
but once you question why
there’s chemicals inside
and what these guns are for
you can’t get it outta your head anymore
and the sky it fades to grey
but the air is damp and warm
heavy rain is on its way
that we’ve been waiting for
all the birds are flying low
like the calm before the storm
I can hear it rumbling
our time has come

Another scandal in the news
how should I act all surprised about that
when there is nothing left to lose
we can only lose ourselves to this crap
a new tyranny
out of outdated problems
that won’t go away
if there is a god
how could this happen?
if there is a god
we don’t need a devil
this can’t be heaven, no
I saw him coming to this land
he was glad he found a place where he could sleep
without a pistol in his hand
like he used to do to protect his family
but all he can see
is furious hatred
but what has he done?
if there is a god
how could this happen?
if there is a god
we don’t need a devil
if there is a god
I’ve learnt my lesson
if there is a god
we are the weapon
this can’t be heaven
no!
we stand tall against your racism
against your anxiety about this future
we learn from what you do wrong
we’re going to win
we’re not gonna fall this time
in this cozy room it’s hard to tell
who once has started this carousel
and who is to blame for this mess at the borders
our economy’s healthy and works too well
as long as the weapons and drugs we sell
only fly one-way across the deep water
If there is a god
and even if not
I can see the flood
if there is a god
how could this happen

Four hours in this freezing water
the smell of fear
and these blustering waves are wild
a sign from the sea to go back
cooped up with 400 people
praying to god to get out of this goddamn war
the only chance to get out of this cycle
enjoy the rise of democracy till it’s done
only rain is made in heaven
let us try to stick together
it’s not a noble aim to be kind
this won’t go away, you’re not blind
I’ve been caught
in this rust-covered shithole
I’ve put my life in the hands of the biggest scum
they make money with our fear of dying
no clue when the fucking ride is ending
if I just jumped this would finally all be done
the cold ocean’s far too tempting
only rain is made in heaven
all the rest are lies
let us try to stick together
because people die
it’s not a noble aim to be kind
this won’t go away, you’re not blind
let’s go blind

Oh well, a big suit in a coffin
what did he do to deserve this room
as he let thousands of innocent souls drown
another scandal in the news
how should I act all surprised about that
when there is nothing left to lose
we can only lose ourselves in this crap
the few that made it from that boat
considered lucky to be breathing and alive
he’s far from being free to go
and it even feels as if he’s free to die
I’d do it all again
I’d do it one more time
as long as it brings me far away
I’ll never give up trying
to live a humane life
but living’s pretty hard today
and still I’m hoping I can stay
If there is a god
and even if not
I can see the flood
if there is a god
how could this happen

I don’t know how I made it through the border
I’ll never know why I am still alive
I’m just another empty-handed soldier
waiting for his application to arrive
I can’t go back from here
cause it’d mean death
there’s no way out of here
though I can’t stay in here, I’m undesired
tell me if I’m free to die or if I’m condemned to live
say do I have any rights in this cage that I am in
yes I know, yes I know
that I could be trapped for years
but I wanna get out of here
please let me in
there’s not a moral compass in your papers
you can’t rely on god or all your laws
if there’s a breathing person threatened with being sent back to be killed
I bet you'd hesitate to sign the final clause
I’d do it all again
I’d do it one more time
I’ll never give up trying
to live a humane life
if there is a god
how could this happen?
if there is a god
we don’t need a devil
if there is a god
I’ve learnt my lesson
if there is a god
we are the weapon
if there is a god

Wrecked and frustrated
the more he tries just to fit in here the more
he turns out to be a prisoner
in this free world
the mob degrades him
a little stone in a system without trust
turns out he’s nothing but
criminal dust
some say it takes a while
to turn around their minds
to wash away the fears
they built in their depressing lives
although he could be glad
to leave this war behind
they still won’t let him get some sleep at night
oh!
we will protest and set their homes on fire
expel them from our holy land
our home
we don’t know them and we don’t wanna know
they’re different, that’s why they need to go
that’s all
wade in the water
don’t lose your faith
try not to falter
on this weary way
I’d rather be hated
and end up in jail
than going back home again
and die in this hell
wade in the water
don’t lose your faith
try not to falter
on this weary way
I’d do it all again
I’d do it one more time
as long as it brings me far away
I’ll never give up trying
to live a humane life

Someday I will recover from the pain that I’ve gone through
they say this was my chance to come alive and start anew
I’ve gotta prove I’m tame like a lion in a cage
cause my nature is wild and that’s not gonna change
I can barely wash all this dirt off my face
I’m a disgrace
and all this could take some time
everything’s gonna be alright
until then I’m alive
enjoy democracy till it’s done
don’t fear, in the end it’s worth the trouble
meanwhile you better calm down
my hands can touch the ceiling when I’m lying on the floor
I planned to move out once I got what I’m still waiting for
I promised to dance in their circus ring
almost blind from the lights and I can’t see a thing
and as Charles D. said it’s a game you can’t win
not a chance without the blue blood within
I’d do it all again
I’d do it one more time
as long as it brings me far away
I’ll never give up trying
to live a humane life
but living’s pretty hard today

we are the weapon
our houses are nice and our gardens clean
there’s still some champagne in the limousine
we take a deep breath as we watch the horizon
so peaceful and quiet lies the sea
a cute little boat appears to me
so pure and remote like a heavenly island
