De/Vision - Popgefahr (2010)

We work efficiently, and we're trained to kill
No brains and no religion, no free will
There is no point in resisting, why even try
Everything we never needed, soon we wish to buy

Yes, we're all automatic
Remote-controlled
We're Mandroids
Poor Mandroids

Forever caught in between, man and machine
All made of muscle, steel and, raw sex appeal
Manipulated by the living, in money we trust
What the companies are preaching, is God's word to us

Yes, we're all automatic
Remote-controlled
We're Mandroids
Poor Mandroids

Mandroids
Mandroids
Mandroids…

Yes, we're all automatic
Remote-controlled
We're Mandroids
Poor Mandroids

Last night I killed you in my dream
I was afraid it felt so real

Everybody is addicted
Underneath the skin
My rage is but an image of the
World I'm living in

Rage
My rage
Is taking over
Pain
Your pain
Will soon be over

Rage
My rage
Is taking over
Pain
Your pain

Last night I killed you in my dream
Today I'm gonna make it real

Everyone's a sinner, baby
And so are you
We don't really need a reason
For the things we do

Rage
My rage
Is taking over
Pain
Your pain
Will soon be over

Rage
My rage
Is taking over
Pain
Your pain

My rage
Your pain

Chew me up
And spit me out
I knew you would I had no doubt
I'll find a mask
That's what I'll do
I can be just like you
Your every wish
Will be done
I'll be the trigger of your gun
I'll make 'em bleed
I'll make 'em pay
I'll make them go away

Show me what love is all about
What love is all about
If I can do without
I wanna find out
Show me what love is all about
Breathe me in and breathe me out
What is love all about?
I wanna find out

Tie me up
I won't make a stand
Suffer corporal punishment
Every pain I'm going through
Brings me back to you

Show me what love is all about
What love is all about
If I can do without
I wanna find out
Show me what love is all about
Breathe me in and breathe me out
What is love all about?
I wanna find out

Show me what love is all about
What love is all about
If I can do without
I wanna find out
Show me what love is all about
Breathe me in and breathe me out
What is love all about?
I wanna find out

Died for never-ending love
For a vindictive god
For the hand I held
And the inner peace I sought

Died for secrets that I kept
I died from the words you said
Sometimes I'm dying
For another cigarette

But now is the time
To be alive
To be alive
Now is the time
To be alive
To be alive

I fell by the hands of love
Died for reasons I forgot
For the songs I wrote
For beauty you are dreaming of

Died for a stranger in my bed
With a bullet in my head
For a land that betrayed
Always dying to get laid

But now is the time
To be alive
To be alive
Now is the time
To be alive
To be alive

I would even die for you
I would if you asked me to
But now is not the time

Now is the time
To be alive
To be alive
Now is the time
To be alive
To be alive

I'm getting all I want
Leaving you nothing
My wish is your command

I make you fall apart
I'm sticking needles
Into your bleeding heart

Keep out of my plastic heart
You won't see through my plastic heart
Your cuts will not go too deep

Block you out of my plastic heart
You won't get through my plastic heart
All these secrets I must keep

I need your surgery
This operation
Needs to work out for me

Watching you try and try
While I am fainting
Far too limp to enjoy

Keep out of my plastic heart
You won't through my plastic heart
Your cuts will not go too deep

Block you out of my plastic heart
You won't get through my plastic heart
All these secrets I must keep

(Keep out of my plastic heart)

Keep out of my plastic heart
I will tear your world apart

Keep out of my plastic heart
I will tear your world apart

I was broken, battered, bruised all over
But I was never one to cry
Shattered, torn apart, forsaken
Felt more dead than alive

Embraced the pain, buried the hatchet
Learned to sleep with an opened eye
They can waste me, hate me, refuse to save me
But I'm not letting go

For I know
You have to be a light to yourself
Be a spark
In the dark
Shine and be a light to yourself
Watch me glow

I was madly in love with the devil
On those lonely winter nights
I would kiss the lips of an angel
No, I'm not letting go

For I know
You have to be a light to yourself
Be a spark
In the dark
Shine and be a light to yourself
Watch me glow

Watch me glow

No, I'm not letting go
For I know
You have to be a light to yourself
Be a spark
In the dark
Shine and be a light to yourself
Watch me glow

You have to be a light to yourself
Watch me glow
Shine and be a light to yourself
Watch me glow

Watch me glow
Shine and be a light to yourself

Got to be strong
Better be strong
Do the best that you can
Do what needs to be done

Could be painful
In the extreme
Go to the edge
Pick the bone clean
If you know what I mean

Say, say what you've got to say
Your words don't matter anyway
Words don't matter anyway

Taste the ultimate sacrifice
Are you ready to die
Ready to die
Ready to die for good this time
'Cause I'm ready to die

Got to be strong
Better be strong
Put up a good fight
And what it cannot be won

You don't mean much to me right now
All you do is sew seeds of doubt
I invented your routes

Say, say what you've got to say
Your words don't matter anyway
Words don't matter anyway

Taste the ultimate sacrifice
Are you ready to die
Ready to die
Ready to die for good this time
'Cause I'm ready to die

It drives me mad
What were you thinking of
To go away
Decided you've had enough
Your life was not your own, you know
You'll never know how much I'll miss you

In a flash of life
We will meet again
In another life
Who knows where or when
In a perfect life
Where we can be kings
In another life
We will take our wings

It makes me sad
You never had the guts
To tell the truth
What you were thinking of
Your life was not your own, you know
You'll never know how much I'll miss you

In a flash of life
We will meet again
In another life
Who knows where or when
In a perfect life
We can make it right
In another life
We go down side by side

In a flash of life
We will meet again
In another life
Who knows where or when
In a perfect life
We can make it right
In another life
We go down side by side

You're being relentless
You're hitting hard
Make me forget
Say I'm the worst friend ever
Say it won't happen ever again
You're playing to win now
And I already know what's left to do

I'm silently waiting
To feel sorry for you
Quietly hating
All the things you put me through

A twisted story that cannot unfold
A twisted story too precious to be told
Too precious to be told
A twisted story that will only be
Made up of our own anxiety
Our own anxiety

My head on your silver plate
I'm taken by the enemy
Whatever you come up with
Please try it up on me

I'm silently waiting
To feel sorry for you
Quietly hating
All the things you put me through

A twisted story that cannot unfold
A twisted story too precious to be told
Too precious to be told
A twisted story that will only be
Made up of our own anxiety
Our own anxiety

I'm silently carving
My name into you
Nothing else to do
What have we turned into

A twisted story that cannot unfold
A twisted story too precious to be told
Too precious to be told
A twisted story that will only be
Made up of our own anxiety
Our own anxiety

Break with the past
This time I will make it last
Your love is free
Waste your precious youth on me

Until the end of time
Until the end of time
Until the end of time
Until the end of time

Until the clocks stop turning
Until the stars fall into the sea
Until the walls come tumbling down
Until we all die in misery

Until the sky is burning
Until the dawn of eternity
We will be forever
There is always you and me

This is how it ends
Erase your whole existence
Go down with me
Waste your precious life on me

Until the end of time
'Til the end of time
Until the end of time
'Til the end of time

Until the world is ending
Until all thoughts are history
Until we stop pretending
Until the ignorant can finally see

Until we'll meet in the next life
Until whatever will be will be
We will live forever
There is always you and me
