This was the Time
One day it started, at first very shy,
That slyly but daily some people were to die
More and more had to go every day
And each one of us had to find a way
To cope with something so out of control
No loophole left for a single soul
So many unanswered questions we had
Some were angry, some went quite mad
So many were nothing but much afraid
And still others tried a silly debate
With which restriction they came to terms
If really there were those dangerous germs
Ref.
This was the time when we had to decide
To turn around our lives earthwide
Or to face a constantly rougher ride
Till the very last tree and the ever last tide
We were lucky back then with that sudden threat
If we had not reacted we'd all be dead
The planet had nearly gone down the drain
But our last efforts were not in vain
When finally most of us knew what was wrong
When we came to sing a very new song.
Ref.
This was the time when we had to decide
To turn around all our lives earthwide
Or to face a constantly rougher ride
Till the very last tree and the ever last tide
We realised we overcame this disease
Only if everyone were at ease
No room for judgemental stupidity
No time for power and bigottery
No air for cruelty, violence or sway
If any of us were to see a safe day
Since then no hierarchy needed no more
Everyone now understands the score
No greed, no envy, no war, no fights
Everyone everwhere lives the same rights
It's the only way: we all care what we do
And know exactly what we always knew
Ref.
This was the time when we had to decide
To turn around all our lives earthwide
Or to face a constantly rougher ride
Till the very last tree and the ever last tide
Humanity differs from fauna because
We feel the need to care above laws
Music and art and language and ideas
Are the only we way to cope with our fears
If we care not to step on someone's toes
We can be content without hardly any woes
Ref.
This was the time when we had to decide

Song: Hexen an die Macht
Wo sie kehren, wo sie leben
Sich nicht wehren, ständig geben
Wird kein Reim aus dem Gedicht
Hexen, heißt es, gibt es nicht
Wie sie wickeln, wie sie kochen
Kaum aus ihrem Bauch gekrochen
Wird der Alltag erst durch sie
Mann erkennt sie dennoch nie
Ref.
Weiß nicht worauf Hexen stehen
Will sie nur auf Besen sehen
Ohne Besen wär das nix
Besen mehr als Zaubertricks
Hexen, Hexen an die Macht
Hexen an die Macht
Was sie werden, was sie wollen
Mehr als alles, das sie sollen
Geht nur mit der Kraft von Holz
Besen macht sie wahrhaft stolz
Wenn Sie wissen, wenn sie heilen
Zuckerbrot wie Gold verteilen
Heben sie sich ab vom Pack
Stecken alle in den Sack
Ref.
Weiß nicht worauf Hexen stehen
Will sie nur auf Besen sehen
Ohne Besen wär das nix
Besen mehr als Zaubertricks
Hexen, Hexen an die Macht
Hexen an die Macht
Wem sie dienen, wem sie Frauen
Anders als ihr Selbstvertrauen
Ist durch Zeichen ausgedacht
Bis durchtanzt die letzte Nacht
Wann sie herrschen, wann sie führen
Ihre wahre Kraft erspüren
Ist die Zukunft dieser Welt
Nur den Hexen unterstellt
Ref.
Weiß nicht worauf Hexen stehen
Will sie nur auf Besen sehen
Ohne Besen wär das nix
Besen mehr als Zaubertricks

Leave the Cave
They kill us with freedom, with freedom
Since it's only a freedom to choose
Leave the cave
Leave the cave
Leave the cave
'Cause there's nothing to lose
You can think whatever you might
You can say what you want, or write
In the Western world that's nothing
Anyone cares about
You can be whatever you want
You can either do, or you don't
In the Western world you're no one
Anyone cares about
They kill us with freedom, with freedom
Since it's only a freedom to choose
Leave the cave
Leave the cave
Leave the cave
'Cause there's nothing to lose
You can ask any question you like
You can protest, or go on strike
In the Western world that's nothing
Anyone cares about
You can cry as much as you can
You can die or become insane
In the Western world you're no one
Anyone cares about

Whatever You Do
They kill us with freedom
With freedom and rights
We claim to posses
While they caress our egos
Give us shows
Let us vote
Makes no difference
But there's only freedom to choose
Leave the cave
Leave the cave
Nothing to lose
You can think whatever you like
You can say what you want or cry
You can write, or paint, or sing
Though it's nothing but true
In the western world it's nothing
Anyone cares about
