All minds are under tech-control
with machines in contact.
So far from each reality –
my extremities are numb and I can't see the sun.
Timeless, meanless is my being.
I'm living in the world of cyberspace
This virtual reality
lies perfect to me
and plastically illusions make
me forget all fear make me forget all tears
and badness, sickness of our world
and dying out of cyberspace
Everything I see will never be in our natural world reality.
Things we've destroyed Us can't annoy! We make a new destruction toy!
Synthetic sounds and harmonies
delude all of my minds.
A strange world made by human’s brain
that's without scope and time
there hopeless, desireless is our being.
We're living in a world of cyberspace!

The visitor

At one night recently, I was going through a wood.
A dog howls far away I really don't feel good.
Suddenly on a glade lands a monstrous space-ship.
"Hey creature" said the alien, "I'm coming from a space trip"
With pity in his black eyes, he takes a look at me.
He asked me very friendly: "How long you're living here?
Can you hear the cries of your planet earth?
Got all humans no respect before their place of birth?"
"What's going on inside your brains,
when people killing or making pain,
when houses burning or children crying?
Are you different? Can you tell me why?"
He said to me: "Oh human, your race won't have a chance!
Only you can come with me to take a second chance!?"
My answer was: "No, thank you. I stay and try to save."
He nods appreciable, smiles and fly away.

Black hit of space
03:56

Been out all night, I needed a bite, I thought I'd put a record on
I reached for the one with the ultra-modern label, and wondered where the light had gone
It had a futuristic cover, lifted straight from Buck Rogers
The record was so black it had to be a con
The autochanger switched as I filled my sandwich
And futuristic sounds warbled off and on
The black hit of space
It's the one without a face
It's the one that doesn't fit
You can only see the flip
The black hit of space
Sucking in the human race
How can it stay at the top
When it's swallowed all the shops
As the song climbed the charts, the others disappeared
Til there was nothing but it left to buy
It got to number one, then into minus figures
Though nobody could understand why
The black hit of space
It's the one without a face
It's the one that doesn't fit
You can only see the flip
The black hit of space
Sucking in the human race
How can it stay at the top
When it's swallowed all the shops
I couldn't stand this bland sound any more so I walked towards my deck to turn it off
All I could see was the B-side of the disc which had assumed a doughnut shape with the label on the outside rim
I reached for the arm which was less than one micron long but weighed more than Saturn and time stood still
I knew I had to escape but every time I tried to flee, the record was in front of me
The black hit of space
Get James Burke on the case
It's the hit that's never gone
Time stops when you put it...(on)

Seit langer Zeit sind wir nur bereit
zu glauben was wir sehen und auch verstehen
Was wir nicht begreifen kann nicht sein
bilden wir uns ein
Doch irren wir uns schon seit Jahren
wie's unsere Vorfahren schon getan
Es waren nie Götter die sie ehrten
Wer konnten sie nur sein?
Du siehst ein Licht im Himmel der Nacht
und du weißt genau - sie kommen zurück!
Sie kommen von fern, geben auf uns acht
uns zu retten - sie kommen zurück!
Sie haben seit fünftausend Jahren
unsagbar viel über uns erfahren
Sie kamen einst um uns zu lehren
ihre Technologie
Doch sie stellten fest, das gäbe uns den Rest
Wir würden uns zerstören, auf Vernunft nicht hören
Darum gingen sie fort für lange Zeit
und wir vergaßen sie.
Wir gehen blind durch unsere Welt
alles was für uns noch zählt ist Geld
finden unseren Platz im Leben nicht
wollen es nicht sehen,
das wir nicht die klügsten sind im All
alles, was wir sind ist Staub im Wind
sind wir bereit, dann kommt die Zeit,
alles zu verstehen.

They're coming from another star
to collect kinds of life
Their system is Andromeda
They come to me in dive
A dazzling light in front of me
my body's paralyzed
strange guys seized my arms and feet
brought me into the light
So far from home alone in space
I'm a single of my race
The time stands still, I miss my girl
Where is her friendly face?
Now I'm just an experiment
of another species
Nobody speaks my language here I
got no chance to confess
I feel the pain to be alone
could never see my world again
I miss my friends and family
Why they've abduct just me?
I'm lying on a great white sheet
One of strange guys come in
He got a syringe in his hands
My heart is stopped - I'm dying.

Dreams of drowning

In sour times she caused him
for his simple lullabies
the beauty will remind her
of the sadness in his eyes
when she wakes up he'd be crying
for he never finds his peace
she takes him in her arms
to carry his disease.
And in her deep conviction
she would dub him musketeer
she would show him how to fight with
she would make him feel sincere
in return he sings of freedom
of the battles he has won for her
she dreams in his words silent
to complete what he has begun
Till she wakes up from his crying
he can't go on fight for peace
he is worn out tired of enemies
she opens up his disease
she kisses all his brusies
she feeds him tenderly
she reminds him of his mission
she makes him enter battlefield

Traumwelt (Remix)
03:41

Das Wesen unseres Seins hat noch keiner je erkannt,
Philosophen haben sich dabei die Köpfe verbrannt.
Wir schufen Menschenrecht allein nach unserer Moral
und ob diese richtig ist, ist uns doch egal.
Wir nehmen uns das Recht und verdrängen die Natur.
Zwar ist es fünf vor zwö1f, doch schaut keiner auf die Uhr.
Es wird schon weitergehen und frage nicht womit!
Wir treiben mit dem Wahnsinn auf einem Höllenritt
- in einer -
Traumwelt - regiert von Politik und Geld.
Traumwelt - die uns bald zusammenfällt.
Traumwelt - in der die Dummheit Geld gehorcht.
Traumwelt - voller Elend, voller Furcht.
Was tun wir mit den Dingen, die kluge Köpfe schaffen?
Wenn's billig ist was Gutes wird’s teuer werden's Waffen.
Die Schuld, die auf uns zukommt, können wir nie zahlen!
Wir nehmen den Kredit und unsere Kinder zahlen die Raten.
Bekämpft man stets die Folgen, zerstört man nie den Grund.
Dabei stellt sich die Frage: Ist Menschverstand gesund?
Muss die Luft erst brennen, dass wir das begreifen?
Lässt denn erst der Tod unser Bewusstsein reifen?
in einer – Traumwelt –
Nicht Himmel oder Hölle nehmen uns die Schuld,
die der Mensch auf sich vereint in seinem Fortschrittskult.
Nicht Hoffnung hilft uns weiter, und erst recht kein Gott!
Wenn wir uns verlieren, bleibt nur des Teufels Spott.
Der Naturtod ist uns sicher, wenn man sich nicht drum schert.
Ist denn unser Wohlstand, diesen Wahnsinn wert?
Die Zukunft hört auf uns, ich weiß warum ich bin.
Was hätt’ denn sonst mein Leben noch für einen Sinn?
in einer –
Traumwelt - regiert von Politik und Geld.
Traumwelt - die uns bald zusammenfällt.
Traumwelt - in der die Dummheit Geld gehorcht.
Traumwelt - voller Elend, voller Furcht.
Traumwelt - regiert von wenigen mit Macht.
Traumwelt - in der bald kein Kind mehr lacht!
Traumwelt - von Vernunft will keiner hören! -
Am Ende wird sich diese Traumwelt selbst zerstören!

The Other Man - A Front 242 Tribute
by Leaether Strip
supported by 6 fans who also own “One of 200.000.000+”
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.
