So Heiß
The first thing I remember knowing,
Was a lonesome whistle blowing,
And a young un's dream of growing up to ride;
On a freight train leaving town,
Not knowing where I'm bound,
No-one could change my mind but Mama tried.
One and only rebel child,
From a family, meek and mild:
My Mama seemed to know what lay in store.
Despite all my Sunday learning,
Towards the bad, I kept on turning.
'Til Mama couldn't hold me anymore.
And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole.
No-one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried.

Electricity
As we dwell inside the safe zones that we've made
Where nothing but earthly pleasures seems to matter
The only light we see is from the screens
No will to feel or explore the forgotten dimensions
Some day we'll catch a glimpse of eternity
As the world stands still for a moment
And I guess we will be making history
When we all join hands just to watch the sky
(For a moment)
Our selfish lives have made us all go blind
One day we'll awake by a bright light on the horizon
In one second every eye will see the same
And this blinding light will draw all our attention
Some day we'll catch a glimpse of eternity
As the world stands still for a moment
For the very first time and it's meant to be
We'll forget about ourselves and share the moment
(For a moment)
