Dust to Dust – This song mentions that the evil forces are no creation of mankind but existed a long time before a human being or any other creature populated the planet. Mankind just discovered these forces and used them from the beginning of their existence. Especially the Catholic Church instrumented these forces for a certain period of time, that’s what we want to cover with the line Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. The Old Testament is really brutal. People don’t have the choice; there is only black or white – not much space in between.

Demon’s Hate – This song continuous the foreshadowing of Dust to dust with the bad influences the Catholic Church had on mankind in the middle age.s People like you and me where really trying to live the way the church wanted them to. But the church did not rest and increased the pressure on people, so no matter how they believed in god they were forced to find power from other sources to be released from their pain.

Trash Of society – A variation on young and useless from Thunderhead if you want. Once you reached a certain level in our society near the social bottom the following direction is almost clear. Useless for our commercial driven capitalistic society you are useless. Not only that you have to face a really hard live – no the society will not stop to show you that they don’t give a damn. The result of this can be something we have seen in France some weeks ago when all the young people in the suburbs where really hard to tame.

F.U.C.K. this – We have all these TV casting shows that create bands that will be pushed by labels to simply earn money for a short time. Our criticism is that first of all the music they produce for the masses just sucks and that the big labels have no long breath to let a band grow. There are a couple of bands from the 60s and 70s that just needed some time to grow and they became heroes – not for one day but for a really long time and we still hear the influences of these bands nowadays. In the 60s the British government invested a lot of money into – we don’t know how you call it, youth centers or something like this, where young people met. So that they could play music the government spent money and of course rooms where the young ones could play. That’s one reason for the boom that had its origin in Great Britain. Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and all these guys have the same roots. Today Sweden has some concepts to support young musicians and bands for 2 or 3 years financially so the bands can grow without pressure and look – they have a lot of really good bands and a really solid foundation for metal.

Mr.Knowitall – It’s all about the guy who owns our rehearsal room and we can tell you – this guy thinks he knows everything, is proud of himself and his mouth never shuts: “Talk yourself to death, Mr. Wonderful”.

Slave – Express yourself, play your music no matter if House or Metal as long as it comes from your heart. And if someone wants you to do anything you do not want to, spit in his face or walk away but don’t do it, don’t be his slave.

Pandora’s Box – Sometimes you are suffering for things and you know exactly that in the end it will turn out bad but you can’t stop it. Sometimes certain feelings are a mixture of pain and pleasure and that‘s exactly what this song describes. For example being in a relation with a clear knowledge that you get betrayed, you know this hurts but you cannot stop it because of the pleasure you can participate and the lust you feel getting her back. Or you know exactly where you could end up touring around with some friends starting drinking – sometimes it really turns out bad and headaches are the smallest problem, but you know, some days later you want to open the box again …

TV Kid – It’s about hanging around in front of the television, you are watching all the crap, confronted with violence, you stop living the moment you turn on that thing.

Visions of Time – This is the oldest song on the album. Ralf Schulz wrote the song when he was playing in a band called Double-D. The lyrics did change a bit and the title that time was Dr. Dolphin. The song is on a more abstract level now and mentions all the pain mankind brought on this planet. Killing around not only human beings but also all the animals for no reasons. We think there is a big difference in killing animals for your needs or just for fun. There is no excuse killing animals for fun. The other aspect of the song is the non-existence of any emotions by time. Time has no feeling and there is no natural justice that will keep all these crimes in mind. The sea is red the moment the dolphin is shot but just a few hours later the sea is blue and there is no sign of the crime to see. We’ll extend these thoughts on the next album, talking about the presence that is only a virtual point in time whereas past and future describe a period. There is certainly an exact moment when the dolphin dies but this moment is infinitely small that if the surrounding conditions allow it nobody will recognize it. Currently a lot of people die on this planet each day. And in the western world the conditions are in a way that we simply don’t care about it. Our health is based on the pain of these people.

Whore Babylon – We think this is the best song on the album – Ok, not all members of the band agree, but most of them. “Praise yourself and money”, this is exactly the thing we live with. As we mentioned before we do not care as long as we don’t have to suffer. We are not in the position to decide whether we do it right or wrong. We lack the Meta level to have a view on our behavior from an outside point of view. Natural Sciences had the same problem for a long time; they could only describe things they saw. In the meantime they calculate multidimensions and nobody can ever see these dimensions. We hope that mankind once will have the ability to reach this meta-level to judge in a more objective way before it is too late.
