Live! On that fateful night, It was you who I chose to save A child who’d rise to be the devil himself Be it a monster, the grim reaper’s henchman A child or the mayor, does one life outweigh another? Am I to judge him, assist the great leveller? Am I to atone for I pulled him back into life? Live! The years make me wonder Is it a ghost I’ve been hunting for so long? Am I the one who turns out insane? It was I who set free this creature By my hand did he survive It is he whose eyes turned empty Whose hands took life after life Be it a monster, the grim reaper’s henchman A child or the mayor, does one life outweigh another? Am I to judge him, assist the great leveller? Am I to atone for I pulled him back into life? Live! Followed his trail To put him to a halt Again he points his finger to his forehead As if to say please free me from myself Yet I can’t help But take another bullet out of his head

Back at the orphanage With the number 511 Where every day turned the inside numb And gave the outside a darker shade of black Few were the moments of joy and relief Knew a single spark of hope, I kept it very dear to me Overwhelming magnitude on the pale TV screen Steiner, Magnificient Steiner Champion of justice and rage He stayed with me up to this day Protecting me through violence and through pain Then, in my adult life Had to act like a proper human A mask predestined to crack For how hollow is its wearer First came the crying when my son left this earth Much harder was a smile – I wear it ever since Steiner, Magnificient Steiner Champion of justice and rage Steiner, Magnificient Steiner I always wondered how his story ends Steiner, alter-ego Steiner I think I figured out the truth Steiner, ever-smiling Steiner This last bloodshed I caused without you

Nameless 09:08
My head’s a sinister place A bullet pierced it once I should have been erased When sunshine fell upon my somber thoughts I saw my inner drought And what is growing inside of me Save me! Prevent me from walking this path I chose I hear its voice, hear it call me by my name Sieh mich an, das Monstrum in mir ist so groß – so groß geworden Kannst du mich sehen, so wie ich richtig bin? Kannst du mich hören, wie ich um Hilfe schreie? Das Monstrum in mir wird explodieren Das Monstrum in mir, es wird explodieren I went by many names Though I do share one’s face Will you share my vision Of a place without names? The void will be reshaped And no hope’s regained A darkness for no one to see Angelic traits mask what’s broken inside me I hear its voice, hear it call an empty name Sieh mich an, das Monstrum in mir ist so groß – so groß geworden Kannst du mich sehen, so wie ich richtig bin? Kannst du mich hören, wie ich um Hilfe schreie? Das Monstrum in mir wird explodieren Das Monstrum in mir, es wird explodieren I made many names go mute I deserve mine to vanish, too Das Monstrum greift nach mir Es ist überall, allgegenwärtig Unersättlich sein Hunger nach den Dingen in meinem Kopf Es ist schon lange da, lauert mir auf Ich habe es nicht so gewählt Es trachtet nach dir wie nach mir Will gesehen und gehört werden Um jeden Preis, sonst ist es klein und stumm und nichtig Darum hilf mir, mein Freund, hilf mir beim Ausbruch Tu, was getan werden muss, aber bitte tu es schnell Bevor es noch mehr fressen kann Mehr von dir und von mir und von euch allen
