Needles And Pins
A child with a broken mind  *A
Leaving the world behind
Turning inside to
Your own fantasy
That sets you free

The mirror that’s on your wall  *A
Reflecting your broken soul
Turning outside to
Live your life in
Desperate overdrive

Trying so hard not to fall   *B
Learned to run before you crawled
Needed it for staying alive

Maybe it´s your final call   *B
With your back towards the wall
Needing it for staying alive

And you are staying alive   *C
And you are playing with your needles and pins *Ch
While you are staying alive
Your next call is waiting until you let him in *Ch

And you are staying alive   *C
And you a

Been A Happy Girl
Mum was really happy,-
dad was really happy too,-
they just got their first own home,
and Baby then came you.
Everything looked tranquil,
through your sweet eyes.
Mum will keep you warm and safe,
and never tell you no lies.

Started crawling early,-
soon you stood on your feet.
They say you were a happy girl,
got everything you’d ever need.
But in your dreams,
in the depth of the night,
you remember daddy’s tears
The time that mummy died.

Mum was really happy,-
dad was really happy too,-
they just got their first own home,
and Baby then came you.
Everything looked tranquil,
through your sweet eyes.

Crow

There is a killer in the street.
He made my baby bleed.
There is a killer on the run.
He knows I have a gun.

Every crook and crow in town,
Helps me hunt my Babies murderer down,
Murderer down, down, down hunt him down.

There is a killer on the run.
He knows I have a gun.
There is a killer in the street.
He knows I’ll make him bleed.

There is a killer in the street.
He knows I’ll make him bleed.
There is a killer on the run.
He knows his time has come.

Every crook and call in town,
Helps me hunt my Babies murderer down.
Murderer down, hunt him down, down, down
Down, down, hunt him down
Aftermath
Aftermath

Snowflakes, falling through the shattered window,
Settling into the room.
On the walls, the tapestry is fading
In the light of the moon.

Images, of yesterdays heroes, hanging on the wall.
Their shattered hopes and dreams, forgotten now,
We fight another war, forever more.

As the snowflakes, settling in my footsteps,
I must find a new home.
The hopes and dreams to which his rooms gave shelter
Echo in the cold stones.

But I, I’ll be looking forever,
for your face in the crowds
And as I search this land forever,
I am lost until you’re found,
I hear the sound,
of your voice within these walls
as I stare in
Universal ScapegoatI watch you sleep; you have the weirdest of dreams.
You dream of genocide and power – machines.

You say I’m evil; that I am tempting you so.
You call me antichrist; the truth is I am you.

Oh no, no, no.
Well here we go.
Well here we go.

Again!

You call on Christ to guaranty your victory.
You say the antichrist helps your enemies.

I see your war-crimes in the name of your Christ.
I see it all I guess it´s time you realized.

You are the one that made me live inside your mind.
I am the antichrist the scapegoat for your crimes.

You did create me as excuse for your dreams,
of genocide and of your power – machines
You keep my feet on the groundI frankly admit
That I’ve been hit
By disaster a couple of times.

But you should admit
That I’d never quit
When I am facing hard times.

I know that you have your troubles
With showing your feelings to me.
But honestly spoken my hard is broken
About the way you seem not to see.

That I am a man who does what he can
To build up a home for you too.
And again I am looking through my mail
And again there is no message from you.

I give it to you that you are someone
Who keeps my feet on the ground.

I give it to you; you are so good at it
If I was near water I’d be drowned

I would be drowned
I would be drowned

Your TreeYour Tree

If you are down and feeling low
I’ll stretch my branches down to you
I’ll lift you up and sit you in my crown
And let you sing with the birds
Until you’d say, please set me down.

If you are down and feeling weak
I’ll be your strength all while you weep
I’ll sit you by my roots and say “baby see
We all belong somewhere”
Until you smile and say “now I feel free”.

If you were in love I wish I´d be your tree
In which you cut a heart and your name
And I wish the other name was the name
By which you call me. I wish I was your tree
I wish I was your tree.
Wondering In The WoodsLost at night,
out in the woods,
Scary faces all around; the trees are laughing fire.

There a light,
within a bush,
Scary glowing eyes; are staring through the dark at me.

I am no stranger here!
I know the creature there!
At least I trust, that it´s my lovely poodle Hedgehog?

There he comes,
waving his tail
Or at least I hope it´s him; if not I’m really at a loss.

Scars my face,
so I was wrong,
he was asleep at home, I should have known it all along.

I am no stranger here!
The trees are laughing fire!
I am no stranger here!
I’m not afraid of fear!
The trees are laughing fire!
I am the fool who’s wa
Kiss you when the moon shines
Take my heart, I give it to you.
It´s just a start, but it´s all for you,
Girl I need you so badly, when the sun shines.

Close your eyes, when I kiss you.
No surprise, you know I love you;
and I need you so badly, when the moon shines.

Baby take my heart when the sun shines.
Baby take my heart when the moon shines.
Baby I kiss you when the moon shines;
in our hearts.

Hold me tight, when the sun shines.
Feel my lips, look into my eyes;
girl you need me so badly, when the moon shines.

Close your eyes, when I kiss you.
No surprise, you know I love you so;
girl I need you so badly, when the moon shines.

Mountains GrowHere I stand again
All alone
the waters of yesterdays
Are all but gone

I don’t know where
and I don’t know why
It’s a river of tears
on a day that I cry

I grew up proud, and I
grew up strong
on the land of the natives
who are almost gone

I do know where
and I do ask why
it was a river of blood
when the Indians died

Mountains grow
so high I cant see
Rivers flow
into a distant sea
But oceans don’t grow

the allies of yesterdays
are all but gone

Our Snow Land
The curtains drawn
The house is warm
In candle light
Even mice sleep tight inside the walls
Out, in a world of my own
In the cold winters snow
Wandering where did you go

The frozen tears
The smiling years
Inside my mind
They all seem like distant memories
Here, in a world of my own
I feel cold and alone
But I know you are here

You are here right with me

So I build,
I build one more snowman
Here
Here in our snow-land
And I know
I know when he’s gone then
He is in heaven smiling at you
Until you make it snow again

And you are right here with me

So I build
I build one more snowman
Here
Right here in our snow

Come Be Our Guest Boy Be our guest
East said when I was in the West
When in the East I heard the West say
"be my guest".

All the time
I have seen the same old crime
The poor are never fine, regardless
place or time.

Come be our guest boy
I heard it on TV
Come to the East boy
Here you are free
Come to the West boy
Come and get a new toy

But the truth is this
Oh boy

Where ever I turned I heard people scream
They seemed to be part of someones bad dream

All the time
I thought others have hard times
I´m sure my love won´t be with me at
Christmas time.

Now she´s gone
Another poor girl has just gone

A Graveyards Romance

The string around my neck
Is holding me back
From feeling the ground under my feet

Down in the ground
You can not hear a sound
While I can hear my bleeding heart beat

I lay stretched on your grave
I was not so brave
My hands are caressing the dust

I am crying out your name
You whisper “it´s no shame”
You smile at me from heaven above

We laugh play and dance
In a graveyards romance
In heaven we’re together in love

I lay stretched on your grave
I promise to be brave
Until our time together will come

I lay stretched on your grave
I promise to be brave
Until our time together will com

Desperation Overdrive

:iconchristoflehmann:

I am holding my tears
I am cutting my loss
I am counting your lies
But the numbers stay gross

I am breaking your photo
I drink my own blood
I swallow my pride
And I laugh at the cut

You are under my skin
But I won’t let you in
you are a weak man

You keep asking me why
And the moment I try
You make me cry again

I love you I hate you my friend

I will always love you
For all of my life
I will always love you
You make me feel life.

I always forgive you
Whatever you do
I close my eyes
And all I see is You

I love you I hate you my friend

Come on here we go again

I am holding my tears
I am cutting my loss
I am counting your lies
But the numbers stay gross

I am breaking your photo
I drink my own blood
I swallow my pride
And I laugh at the cut

You are under my skin
But I will let you in
I am a weak man

You keep asking me why
And the moment I try
You make me cry again

I love you I hate you my friend

Come on here we go again

Lyrics by Christof Lehmann
Written for Heavy Rock / Metal (question of definition)

Words go with a medium fast 3 / 3rd + 1 3rd beat

The basic rythm to this work is 3/3

Yes you are right, a WALZ. 3/3 goes really well with Heavy Rock Heavy Metal Music. :-) If you never paid attention to it , Try.

It is about emotional conflict. Love, feeling mistreated, forgivenness, self blame and concept of self.
A rather universal inner conflict based on misery.

Pretty common, so it probably has a broad audience. ;-)

Regarding this song as well as others or lyrics on demand, concept collections of lyrics for CD, musical etc please send inquiry by e-mail.

Absolutely true,( referring to your article about writing lyrics )
This song is really conveying universal emotions in a universally relatable context and language. It´s also quite independent of cultural context. Thank you for the article by the way.
Your songs
Universal Scapegoat and
Our Choice of Love
are also really good examples of this technique.

Yes yes yes - I have heard that before - from you too :D ( not the getting married part though - wish you really all the best, and by the way, looking at your latest songs, one can only envy your girl, and probably one can envy you too for having found someone who gives you that kind of inspiration.
