When all my minds are bloody
and horror pass my body
then all I see only Grey.
There’s not an aim behind my way.
Then all my hope is dying
and all I want is to cry.
I see no light, no future
and I am so confused here.
I feel sadness, just feel pain,
To show emotions - is it shame?
When everything is going by,
there is no hope for friendly days
and I would like to die.
I feel that is enough for me.
I’ve got enough from you.
My heart is ill - I’ve got enough
and I will try to flee.
That you’re gone brings me sorrow
for today and tomorrow.
You show me what I was for you.
You took me for granted - What can I do?
(So) Love me, hate me, leave my heart and cry.
I won’t love you anymore and I don’t know why.
Need you no more cause my love is dead.
Although you are gone I am not really glad.
The day will come when you feel,
that love is not material.
Till then you go the easiest way-
you didn’t fight, you run away.

A light beyond shadows of our existence
beyond our mistakes, like a resistance of minds,
there is the end where it shines
All beings in all worlds came from this light
which is shining forever, time doesn’t go by
in its rays, where everybody wants to stay
Against the law of science in utopian paradise
and if it’s just a dream, so is this dream nice
Working everyday - hear politicians pray,
Fighting just for cash - to pay for our life in this world -
It seems to be meanless and absurd.
But at the day of the end everything stands still
and then we’ll look back - then our heartbeat will -
stops its run, and our soul goes to sun.
Then we will understand, what humanity really needs.
And that we had forgot to live, because of our greed.
When the soul leaves your body for all time
then you will see a light
then the universe is by your side
cause you see the (last) light beyond the end
You will understand while light takes your hand
and you can see the land
where the sun shines without end
Under the rays of light beyond the end

The ocean - a light on waves it seems to ride.
It comes - to me - and I won’t try to flee.
The sky - will glow - more than I've seen before.
There is - the light - please earth hold me tight.
Above - the sea - a pending disk I see.
I know - that I'm - not dreaming at this time.
The disk - stands still - no motion, but it's real.
The fear - is gone - so where does it come from?
They're hidden there deep in the deepest sea
to disallow us
from too early discovery.
They are here, they are here,
They are between our souls.
That's what we shouldn't know -
their camouflage is H-2-O.
Its noise - 's so strange - its substance out of range.
I know - it's night - but it's like day so bright.
The disk - vibrates - and the stars will fade.
It sends - strange rays - and next it flies away.
Fantasy gives us the power
to fly over all lines
and to alternate our world
and to leave the lines of time
Our wishes will come true
when we ´dream at day or night
It´s impossible to prove
But we are not alone - this time

Willkommen im Leben,
als eins von Millionen,
als Rad im Getriebe
dunkler Visionen.
Ich kann sehen, dieser Welt
ein kleiner Hoffnungsschimmer fehlt
der uns für kurz vergessen macht,
das Mutter Erde nicht mehr lacht.
Um mich herum der Hass gedeiht,
bald dringt er auch in mich hinein
Beherrschen wird er bald auch dich,
für Liebe bleibt uns keine Zeit.
Haß gibt dir Macht, dieses Gefühl,
stellt deine Emotionen kühl.
Nimmt die Verletzlichkeit dir fort,
treibt dich an einen dunklen Ort,
wo die Gefühle nichts mehr zählen,
wo dich stets Aggressionen quälen.
Das Gute in dir dort verstaubt,
denn dein Verstand wird dir geraubt.
Alles, was geliebt du hast,
hast du nun verloren,
doch gewinnen wirst du nie,
wird der Hass in dir geboren.
Nichts mehr kannst du dann noch für dich tun,
als dich verzweifelt auszuruhen.
Kehrst (Kennst) du den Weg dann nicht zurück,
findest nie wieder du dein Glück!

When I see you,
butterflies
are flying in my heart
and on my mind.
When I feel you,
I know that you
could be
the one and only.
I wanna stay by your side
for all the time
and everything I feel
is based on my sympathy
for your sweet smile
and your lovely eyes!
Stand by my side
for a long, long time
and let the past things
behind you!
Come with me
into a dream
that I will make
reality!
I hope that you
do really feel the same
like me, in your heart
a fire of love.
'Cause I want you
everyday more and more
'cause when you're not here
I miss you so much.
I wanna be with you
I want to be yours
wanna be your heaven
on this planet we called earth
I wanna be there for you
whenever you need me.

I’m standing so alone
on the bank of the river,
the endless river of time.
My heart is oppressive
and my body shivers
with fear of the endless cry.
You are here no more,
then I’m blind on my eyes,
then it’s night, deep in my soul.
When my heart is bleeding
every night, when it’s dark,
here without you, without you.
The fight against sadness,
which I’m fight every day,
makes me weak and cold in my heart.
And without any mercy
the river is flowing,
but nothing could kill my love!
I see the sun go down,
begin to dream of you.
I see the moon go down,
dream on whatever I do.
I miss your light in the sky,
I miss it so much.
I miss the fun that we had
and I miss your touch
And here I’m waiting,
for mistakes I am paying and crying
and here I’m waiting,
I’m waiting for my little star.
We won’t see us for a long time.
For a too long time,
while I will be alone.
I hope you’ll find your way to earth,
to the sky I see.
I hope you’ll find your way - to home.

Die Welt, die uns umgibt, ist sie Wirklichkeit?
Ist Form Realität, wie wirklich Raum und Zeit?
Die Weisheit aller Menschen ist im Ganzen noch zu klein,
zu erfassen die Unendlichkeit, die Seele unsres Seins.
Wir fühlen und wir ahnen, wir hören und wir sehen
doch verneinen wir stets alles, was wir nicht verstehen.
Jenseits unsres Wissens, da gibt es noch so viel,
doch das Ego bremst so viele schon weit vor ihrem Ziel.
Vom Raum in dem wir leben haben wir das Wissen nicht,
ob er ein Ende hat und wenn gibt es dort Licht?
Die Seelen aller Toten, wo gehen sie nur hin?
Oder hat der ganze Glaube an die Seele keinen Sinn?
Wenn doch gibt es vielleicht da eine andre Dimension,
in der man dann erhältst, für das Leben seinen Lohn?
Es gibt viel zu viel von denen, die nichts davon verstehen.
Vernichten wie du alles, wenn sie keinen Sinn mehr sehen.
Tanz den Tanz des Bösen - lebe für die Nacht!
lass dein Gewissen sterben und greife nach der Macht
Trotze jeder Weisheit - stell dich einfach dumm,
denn was dich glücklich macht - bringt doch nur andere um!
Der Tag an dem du gehst, ist noch fern von Dir,
was kümmern dich die Folgen, deiner unendlichen Gier
Hast alles du vernichtet, bist du längst nicht mehr,
von Liebe die zerstört du hast bleibt nur ein Tränenmeer
Doch das musst du nicht sehen, denn dir geht es ja gut
auch wenn auf dich gerichtet wird, unendliche Wut
Wo du warst bleibt Verzweiflung, bleibt Trauer nur und Not
hab keine Angst vor’m Sterben, deine Seele ist schon tot!

A long, long time before today
was mankind able to
build pyramids and temples high
How did they do that in this time?
From where they had their great knowledge
of geometry and galaxy?
How did they move gigantic stones
against the rules of gravity?
Who has taught them,
Humans or grey guys?
Which one am I?
Take a look at pyramids
(they tower up to sky!)
(believe aliens have crossed the sky!)
There was the time we didn't know
electric light and battery.
Respect the past you don’t agree
to progress of humanity.
It puzzles us, this mystery,
The answer is unknown for me.
Got our race more years ago
visitors from space?

Deepest night, a hurtful pain I feel inside me
and I know the reason’s in the past.
Hearts were splitting and things just fall apart
from that time on deepest fears appeared and feelings starved.
Time’s been moving on and the pain has gone,
but the wounds will stay and memories won’t decay
for another night you will have to fight.
When I see you down
on this brittle ground,
then I want to hold you in my arms so tight.
You keep the distance,
you show resistance,
a few moments later you are out of sight!
Later in this night, remembrance of a former life
disturbed my dreams -
emotions’ holding on.
I had a vision of brightness, very clear.
The beauty and the shadow of an angel took my fear.
Seconds later (on) all illusion’s gone,
but I won’t forget what the angel said:
on a certain day you will find your way!
seconds later (on) all the fear is gone,
and I won’t forget what the angel said.
On a certain day I will find my way.

I've gone my way.
The way was black and white,
sometimes dark and sometimes bright.
I felt love and I felt hate,
but sometimes it's simply too late.
Living means to live and means to die.
It is a game. I laugh, I cry.
A step that you took you could never take back
and seldom you've got a second chance.
Ref.:Too late now,
I don't want to be no longer depressed and so much unhappy!
Too late now,
I will never be glad, cause I love you and I want you back!
I hope that I
am always on your mind.
My heart so blue, my eyes are blind.
When I think about you, my pulse is slow,
I don't feel high, I just feel low.
I love you more, more than before.
You broke my heart, left me alone.
Now all I can do is to hope that you,
please, give me another chance!

Long time ago, in early days,
technicians thought that their ideas will be safe,
their view was very starry eyed.
Some peoples dream's humanity with equal rights.
Instead of work we’d get more leisure time.
One hundred years - the world will turn to paradise.
Today we think we are more bright,
we’ve been advancing and our failures 're only slight.
Experts invent what we don’t need, fly to the moon, don't see the grief
in third worlds countries and won’t stop our greed.
Tell me, why've we lost our instinct to survive?
Why do we concentrate on things which take our lives?
Discoveries that now are useful-
lead to destruction - will be progressive.
Without any doubt we do get along
into false directions - we’ll be progressive.
Every little step's anytime to regret
because evolution - will be aggressive.
No matter what happens, world keeps on turning
even without us - don’t get depressive!
A new millennium’s coming soon,
this magic date won’t start era of bloom:
Standard of living will decrease - we might suffer from unknown disease.
For all that we are not able to perceive.
Genetic engineering can’t avoid this fate.
We could have changed our way of life - now it’s too late ...

We were here to tell you what we've seen
on our trip through the galaxy
Tell you about the others, which are coming from the sky
We know so many races, we've heard so many cries
Now check your thoughts exactly - clean your soul, be free
to untie you from proven, don’t believe what you see
If you believe it's real, it could be still so wrong
Use your fantasy, for this is our song
Open your minds and see who you are
Believe to your power - against armies and wars
Fight against dullness, against your own Mr. Hyde
against meanless destruction, a fight against time.
We are the Drunkness, drunken from space
we love all animals and we like humans race
we don't like military, we don't need any hate
Just we love our planet for this it's never too late!
Now it's time so say Goodbye, but it's not the end
We make a promise now - we would ever come back
to tell you new stories about our galaxy
Till this day finish wars and abolish armies!

The Other Man - A Front 242 Tribute
by Leaether Strip
supported by 8 fans who also own “A light beyond the end (Expanded & Remastered 2023)”
While these are good remixes, they are ironically stripped down to usual EBM trappings. It lacks a LOT of wild experimentation with arrangements, bombastic use of high dynamic range capabilities and Mariana trench's deep use of sequencers which made Front 242 a Sistine Chapel of the genre. Nevertheless, it's an enjoyable EBM Fix ►For You◀ I do appreciate visceral energy on certain songs which added another layer to the originals. Now i wait for FLA's Caustic Grip/TNI tribute like a guard dog.
