CONTRAPUNKT
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
WE ARE STANDING HERE
AS MAN AND AS WOMAN
AS FATHER AND SON
MOTHER AND DAUGHTER
AND AS THE MESSENGERS OF THE WHOLE OF MANKIND
WE ARE STANDING HERE AT A BRINK OF WAR
AGAINST OURSELF AND OUR HABITS
FAR TO MANY MISTAKES – MADE OUT OF GREED AND HATE
BROUGHT US TO A POINT WHERE WE HAVE TO SETTLE
ON WHAT WE HAVE TO BE
AND IN OUR DARKEST HOUR I HAVE TO SAY
PUNISH YOUR HEAD

Punish Your Head

PUNISH YOUR HEAD
IN THE PAST WE BUILT A HOUSE FOR US
FILLED WITH TRUST AND PEACE
IN OUR EYES THE FAITH AND CONFIDENCE
AND HANDS WHICH TOUCHED THE SKY
WE FILLED A SEA WITH TEARS OF JOY
AND NEVER-ENDING HOPE
WE WERE THE SONS UNDER THE SUN
AND SO THE LEGACY OF GODS
BUT ON THE DAY THEY KILLED THE GROUNDS FOR US
AND SET THE WORLD IN FLAMES AND WAR
WE WERE NOT STRONG ENOUGH FOR FIGHTING
WE WERE JUST STRONG ENOUGH TO CRY
ON DAY THEY LET US IN DECAY
AND WE DESTROYED THE HOUSE WE BUILT
CONTAMINATED OUR SEA
CAUSE WE WERE STRONG ENOUGH TO CRY
BUY YOUR TICKET FOR A TRIP TO NOWHERE
FOR A JOURNEY INTO ABSOLOM
CROSS THE FIELDS WHEN THE WORLD TURNS BURNING
BUY YOUR TICKET AND PUNISH YOUR HEAD
BUY YOUR TICKET FOR A TRIP TO NOWHERE
FOR A JOURNEY INTO ABSOLOM
IS THIS THE WORLD YOU WANT REMEMBER
BUY THE TICKET AND PUNISH YOUR HEAD
IN THE PAST WE SET A CROSS
FOR OUR HEREOS AND THE BRAVES
AND IN THE FLAMES WE PROMISED LOYALTY
AS MONUMENT OF FAITH
BUT ON THE DAY THEY KILLED THE GROUNDS FOR US
AND SET THE WORLD IN FLAMES AND WAR
WE WERE NOT STRONG ENOUGH FOR FIGHTING
WHY WE WERE STRONG ENOUGH TO CRY?
BUY YOUR TICKET FOR A TRIP TO NOWHERE…

BURNING
YOU TELL SYMPHONIES – HORNIEST VOICE
I AM YOUR CREATURE FOR THE BITTERSWEET NOISE
WHAT EVEN YOU NEED AND WHAT YOU LOOKING FOR
STORIES OF PASSION ON THE PARQUET FLOOR
YOUR POINT OF PUGNACITY HUNTING THE MAN
FOLLOW UNVISIBLE STRAIGHT DOWN IN HELL
WITHOUT OBJECTIONS AND WITHOUT ANY FEAR
AWAITING PLEASURE IN THE BURNING ATMOSPHERE
WITHOUT OBJECTIONS AND WITHOUT ANY FEAR
AWAITING PLEASURE IN THE BURNING ATMOSPHERE
OBSESSED BY DESIRE FOR A HIGHER SUCCESS
STANDING FOR DEVIL´S WORK IN ANGEL´S DRESS
WITHOUT OBJECTIONS AND WITHOUT ANY FEAR
AWAITING PLEASURE IN THE BURNING ATMOSPHERE
OBSESSED BY DESIRE FOR A HIGHER SUCCESS
STANDING FOR DEVIL´S WORK IN ANGEL´S DRESS
WITHOUT OBJECTIONS AND WITHOUT ANY FEAR
AWAITING PLEASURE IN THE BURNING ATMOSPHERE

We Stand In Hope

WE STAND IN HOPE
TAKE ME AWAY FROM EMPTY SPACE
TAKE ME AWAY INTO YOUR ARMS
WHERE SMELL MEANS SMELL
AND WHERE THE TASTE SEEMS HELL
WHERE EVERYTHING IS GOING WELL
I WANT LEARN THAT ALL MY FAULTS
TEACH ME TO GET A BETTER MAN
IF WE ARE GRASP – WE ARE MISTAKEN
AND REALIZE – WHAT WE HAVE DONE
TALK TO ME AND WALK THROUGH ME
AT LEAST ERASE THE FOOL IN ME
I´M SURE YOU GUIDE ME WELL
CAUSE AT LEAST YOU WILL ERASE THE FOOL (…IN ME)
AND FINAL CHANGE THE BOMB TO FIRE
AND FINAL CHANGE ONE WORD TO STORM
A BOUNDLESS ENERGY BURNS IN OUR HEART
WE ARE THE LIVELINESS IN FORM
FINAL WE SHOULD COME TO SENSES
WHAT MEANS LIFE AND WHAT MEANS FAITH
IN OUR FORCE – IN OUR FUTURE
AND BASICALLY IN HUMAN RACE
TAKE ME AWAY FROM MANKINDS IDIOTY
TO GET HIGHER THEY CAN BREATHE
EVERYTHING IS GETTING FAST AND COULDER
I CAN NOT BELIEVE
TAKE AWAY ALL THESE EXCUSES
AND ALL THESE STUPID IDLE TALKS
THERE IS NO TIME FOR WHEEL OF FORTUNE
THERE IS NO TIME FOR HIDE AND SEEK
TALK TO ME AND WALK THROUGH ME
AT LEAST ERASE THE FOOL IN ME
I´M SURE YOU GUIDE ME WELL
CAUSE AT LEAST YOU WILL ERASE THE FOOL (…IN ME)
AND FINAL CHANGE THE BOMB TO FIRE…

ALS ICH FORTGING
ALS ICH FORTGING WAR DIE STRASSE STEIL – KEHR WIEDER UM
NIMM AN IHREM KUMMER TEIL – MACH SIE HEIL
ALS ICH FORTGING WAR DER ASPHALT HEISS – KEHR WIEDER UM
RED IHR AUS UM JEDEN PREIS – WAS SIE WEISS
NICHTS IST UNENDLICH – SO SIEH DASS DOCH EIN
ICH WEISS DU WILLST UNENDLICH SEIN – SCHWACH UND KLEIN
FEUER BRENNT NIEDER WENNS KEINER MEHR NÄHRT
KENN JA SELBER WAS DIR HEUT WIDERFÄHRT
ALS ICH FORTGING WAR´N DIE ARME LEER – KEHR WIEDER UM
MACHS IHR LEICHTER EIN MAL MEHR – NICHT SO SCHWER
ALS ICH FORTGING KAM EIN WIND SO SCHWACH – WARF MICH NICHT UM
UNTER IHREM TRÄNENDACH – WAR ICH SCHWACH
NICHTS IST UNENDLICH – SO SIEH DASS DOCH EIN
ICH WEISS DU WILLST UNENDLICH SEIN – SCHWACH UND KLEIN
NICHTS IST VON DAUER – WAS KEINER RECHT WILL
AUCH DIE TRAUER WIRD DA SEIN – SCHWACH UND KLEIN

FORGIVING
COME CLOSER TO ME – DON´T BE AFRAID
DON´T TAKE THE BLAME ABOUT THE WORDS YOU SAID
WHERE COLOURS OF SHADES – DARKEN THE LIGHTS
IS TIME TO ACCEPT – TO PAYING THE PRICE
YOU REACHED FOR THE STARS AND SO YOU REACHED IN THE SKY
HOW WAS YOU TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE FLY TO HIGH
HOW WAS YOU TO KNOW YOU DIDN´T ANYTHING WRONG
YOU COULN´T GET HOLD IT – GIRL I KNOW
THINGS HAPPENED REALLY FAST AND NO ONE MADE OUT
IT WAS A MAD RUSH WITH AN DIRTY RESULT
WE WERE THE HUNTERS WE WERE FIGURES OF LIGHT
BUT JUST AS WELL WE WERE THE SACRIFICE
SO PLEASE FORGIVE ME IF I DIE
AND PLEASE BELIEVE ME THAT I TRY
TO PUT ALL THE THINGS RIGHT BETWEEN ME AND YOU
IS ANY FORGIVENESS JUST AN EMPTY WORD
WHY WE ARE LIVING ALL THE THINGS WE FOUGHT
WHY WE ARE SILENT NOW – I DON´T KNOW
IT WILL NOT BE BETTER IF YOU GO
COME CLOSER TO ME – HERE ASHORE
REMEMBER THE TIME WE WERE IN JOY BEFORE
A TIME FULL OF FAITH – WE DIDN´T WANT ANYMORE
IT´S GETTING MUCH COLDER – GIRL I KNOW
WHATEVER I DO – WHATEVER I FEEL
IT WASN´T THE SAME WHAT YOU EXPECTED OF ME
IT WASN´T THE SAME WAY YOU WANT TO GO
HOW WAS THE SAME WAY
I DON´T KNOW
SO PLEASE FORGIVE ME …

YOU
WALKING THE WAY WITH SHAKING FOOTSTEPS
SO PRETTY COLD THE NIGHT AND CALM
STRUGGLE MYSELF IN DESPERATION
BUT ANYWAY NOT ALONE
THERE IS IN MIND A SMALLEST FEELING
A SUNBEAM IN THE DARK
IT DOESN´T MATTER IF I´M BLEEDING
IT DOESN´T MATTER IF I WALK
AND EVERY SILENT PASSING FACES
AS WELL THE STORM WHICH FREEZE MY SKIN
CAN NOT EXTERMINATE THE FIRE
AN LIVINGLY PULSE WITHIN
WILL THERE BE A LIGHT WHERE WE WILL FLY
WILL THERE BE JUST THE USUAL CRY
PRAY TO YOU FOR A HIGHER GROUND
AWAITING ALL THE HEALING SOUND
AT FIRST THERE WILL BE YOU
AND BLOOD INTO MY VEINS
AT SECOND WILL BE CONFIDENCE
ANNIHILATE THE PAIN
AT THIRD THERE WILL BE YOU
DELIVERANCE OF COURSE
AND EVERY SINGLE LONELY NIGHT
ANOTHER STEP INTO YOUR UNIVERSE
THE DEEPEST SCAR THAT I´D RECECIEVING
AND ALL THE THINGS THAT I HAVE DONE
SEEMS SO UNNECESSARY GIVEN
INFINITELY UNDONE
WILL THERE BE LIGHT WHERE WE WILL FLY
WILL THERE BE JUST THE USUAL CRY
PRAY TO YOU FOR A HIGHER GROUND
AWAITING ALL THE HEALING SOUND
AT FIRST THERE WILL BE YOU…

DOWN MEMORY LANE
I KNOW
I KNOW YOU REMEMBER ME
I WAS WITH YOU LONG TIME AGO
A TIME WE FELT YOUNG AND FREE
AND THE SKY WAS BIGGEST FOR YOU AND ME
LOOK IN THE MIRROR – AND SEE THE MAN
HE LOST THE WAY TO BE GOOD
HOW CAN YOU FEEL BETTER?
IGNORE THE BEAUTY STRENGTH OF COULOURED RAIN
IGNORE THE PLAN´S WE´VE MADE AND THINGS WE´VE DONE
WE WERE WITH US ALL TIME LONG
I HATE YOU
SPREAD THE WINGS TO FLY AWAY
FROM HERE DOWN MEMORY LANE
JUST AROUND THE WORLD AND BACK AGAIN
THIS IS TIME FOR LOOSING TIME FOR
NEW RESPECT AND FORM
SO SPREAD THE WINGS TO FLY AWAY FROM HERE
AWAY DOWN MEMORY LANE
DO YOU REMEMBER
WE PROMISED CARE
LIKE THE WIND I THOUGHT WE COULD TO FINGER OCEANS
BUT ALL THE PROMISES HAS COME TO NOTHING
IN THE HALL OF ALL THE GLORY LEADERS
WHERE I STAND - QUIET AND BARE
AND WANT BACK THE RAIN OF FORTUNE
I WANT YOU – NEED YOU
SPREAD THE WINGS TO FLY AWAY…

THE DEEP INSIGHT
WHEN THE EYE OF DAY IS SHUT
AND THE STARS DENY THEIR BEAMS
WHERE ABOUT THE POINT OF INSIGHT
BLOWS THE ROARING STORM OF DREAMS
AT THE END OF TIME OF WASTING
IN THE LANDS WHERE YOU ARE LAID
YOU HAVE WAITED FOR INSANITY
LIE DOWN ON THE BEDS YOU MADE
DAYS WILL NEVER BE UNJOYOUS
IF YOU RUN AWAY FROM HERE
PLEASE FORGIVE THE WORDS I´D SPOKEN
THE MAN I CAN NOT BE
WOULD YOU LIE IF YOU MUST LIE
AND DENY WHATS YOUR BELIEF
WHERE YOU WOULD NOT – LIE YOU MUST
LIE YOU MUST – TURN TO YOUR REST
BUT NOT WITH ME
WATCH ME HERE – HERE I AM
ON THIS PROMISED PLACE I STAND
THE SAME MISTAKES AND IDLENESS
THE SAME BLOOD IN MY VEINS
WE COULD BE GODS IF WE ARE HUMAN
WE COULD BE STRONGER IF WE TRUST
IN OUR WILL - IN OUR STRENGTH IN LIFE
WHERE YOU WOULD NOT – I KNOW YOU MUST
WOULD YOU LIE IF YOU MUST LIE
AND DENY WHATS YOUR BELIEF
WHERE YOU WOULD NOT – LIE YOU MUST
LIE YOU MUST – BUT NOT WITH ME
WOULD YOU FIGHT IF YOU MUST FIGHT
WOULD YOU ANSWER FOR YOUR FAITH
WHERE YOU WOULD NOT – FIGHT YOU MUST
WHEN THE EYE OF DAY IS SHUT
BUT JUST WITH ME
I CAN NOT BREATHE - I CAN NOT TASTE
I CAN NOT TURN AWAY MY FACE
BUT I FEEL WARMTH BENEATH THE LIGHT
I FEEL THE WORLD SO DEEP INSIDE

Whole album is a good balance of slower songs and faster tracks which dominate. Really like "What is wrong" due to it's straight punch line and the awesome instruments arranged along.

The great Cat Temper does it again! 10 more synthpop bangers with titles like “Growls on Film” and “Electric Pawpurrella.” Instant classic.
