this is not a smile you see it ́s the end of me it ́s the end of what I used to be my philosophy what it means to me I ́ve unlearned how to feel where do we go from here - these forsaken dreams they keep me awake and away - from thinking straight what do we do to achieve - a clean state of mind where we don ́t regret - mistakes not yet made we have been led to believe there‘s an end to this insanity all that is left to achieve is a moment of full clarity I cannot forgive – I cannot forget I cannot find sleep at night – I suffer and regret I cannot believe – I cannot deny I cannot find a reason why – all good things must die I deny - ask myself why – told myself lies why – why – why – why this is what is left of me all the doubt you see planted into my soul and my mind all my dignity left behind to see I´ve learned to stay behind where do we go from here - these forsaken dreams they keep me awake and away - from thinking straight what do we do to achieve - a clean state of mind Where we don ́t regret - mistakes not yet made This is... what is left of me all the doubt you see planted into my soul and my mind all my dignity – left for you to set free I ́ve learned to stay behind Where do we go from here? - These forsaken dreams... They keep me awake and away - from thinking straight what do we do to achieve - a clean state of mind Where we don ́t regret - mistakes not yet made we have been led to believe there‘s an end to this insanity all that is left to achieve is a moment of full clarity

like a ship that‘s going to sink this ocean rises around us now salty water fills our lungs as we sink deep down to the ground and now I drown in all these words that we had left unspoken while through these stormy floods of life I miss your helping hand your fingertips - they always took away the taste of sorrow I ́ve tried to fix our broken ship so we could set sails again this will be the end to me this will be the end to us the weight of lies became our truth and we can ́t reach safe shores now while sharks surround our every move we won ́t see the harbours lights again floating away with all the hopes we‘ve ever had the light that could save us had been led astray floating away in waves of pain and sorrow just let go and sink away don‘t let go – I‘ve got to swim surrounded by what I‘ve put myself in try - to - try - breathe in - try - breathe out – try floating away with all the hopes we‘ve ever had the light that could save us had been led astray floating away in waves of pain and sorrow just let go and sink away floating away

and I surrender to this world it made me trust in worthless lies what has it given to me each dollar made – a dream that dies with people starving in the streets buildings rising up to the skies with every millionaire there ́s a million hopes that fail no morals - endless greed money is all that will prevail hope - love - give – words without effect fear - hate - take – words that they can accept and I surrender to this world it made me trust in worthless lies what has it given to me each dollar made – a dream that dies emptiness and no forgiveness is all that you create for yourself and everyone around you - soon it is too late with every million dreams there ́s a million hopes that fail Believes are raped with fear and this is all that we inhale starvation in the streets something greed – just can not scale and we ́re the ones standing there beneath – between - below and I surrender to this world it made me trust in worthless lies what has it given to me each dollar made – a dream that dies

if we could reach all there was to be could we change from meaningless into integrity if nothing remained of this entity would dreamscapes and airplanes carry me to victory - over me whilst nothing seems able to clarify to me I surrender to this stale and selfish scene will I be rich or poor and what does it all mean can I be the person I ́m made out to be? can I be what I set out to be will I just look at what‘s in it for me is it all just a game should I be the one ashamed if we could reach all there was to be could we change from meaningless into integrity if nothing remained of this entity would dreamscapes and airplanes carry me to victory - over me whilst life does not wait for me to heal reflections in the mirror seems unreal will I be the one to feel emotions I was told to steal I seem to have lost my way I seem to fade away into DREAMSCAPES AIRPLANES
5.	For the love of falling 03:13	lyrics	buy track
waiting - hoping for this memory to sink in losing - focus where do I begin this conversation is missing your voice or signs of new beginnings no happy endings seem in sight for us and there is no real chance of winning there was once „us“ now there ́s just „I“ I can ́t understand this living hell as I try to mend the pieces waiting - hoping for this memory to sink in losing - focus where do I begin this conversation has left me no choice or a chance for new beginnings no final exits are in sight for us and there is no real chance of winning so what‘s the point what is the point of saving us (what ́s the point of saving someone from drowning if they won ́t swim all that ́s left for you to do now is to let you go and let the idea sink in) falling - with no hope of you saving me falling - we wasn ́t supposed to be falling - I can ́t see myself as me falling - without you there catching me I need you to catch my fall but there‘s no hope for us I need you to stop my fall to set me free I was there to catch your fall but there‘s no hope for us I should have let you fall I need you at the end

I can ́t understand the fact that a lie in this day and age is met with a smile I can ́t tell you who ́s to blame it just seems that this type of life is not worth my while and I don ́t understand and I can ́t comprehend the biggest crooks seem to be wearing smiles and ties it‘s because this world is a lie and i can‘t see it fade away we‘re guided by the dollar‘s light Consumtion – prayer – delight This is the time (this is the time) where to be rich (to get rich) you‘ll have to watch (places burn) to be constructed and repaired I can ́t understand the fact that a lie in this day and age is met with a smile I can ́t tell you who ́s to blame It just seems that this type of life is not worth my while and I don ́t understand and I don ́t seem to see the biggest losers today seem to be you and me this is the time (this is the time) where to be rich (to get rich) you‘ll have to watch (places burn) to be constructed and repaired you ask me why I ́m always drowned in fear because nowhere is a mix of now and here now and here

and we die in all these battles old men have told us to fight while they make us consume we think we ́re immune against light regret – repent – prepare for the war With blood in the streets, our life is complete more shareholder values for all when only profits can decide your fate maximizations all that we create global markets no boundries – is it too late who takes the blame for all the debt and when will it finally get paid and we die in all these battles old men have told us to fight while they make us consume we think we ́re immune against light regret – repent – prepare for the war with blood in the streets will make us complete more shareholder values for all is this man the boy you once were wanted you to be is this future something you would want for you and me (I stare – I see – I regret) the fact that I did not create the fact that I did not reply to statements that once had been made I never should have wondered why why Consume obey and die Consume obey and die don‘t ask for reasons why Consume obey and die

this is me the one you‘re looking at the one you never knew the one who‘s life you‘ve ruined me the one who‘s soul you‘ve sold the one who filled your pockets so you can build your own new world honesty - a word that you forgot in a world of profit where money is your only god loyalty - against all odds and ends something you never knew so empty words you defend love for what you are and what you do it all makes sense now but who is telling you me the one you‘re looking at the one you never knew the one who‘s life you‘ve ruined me the one who‘s soul you‘ve sold the one who filled your pockets so you can build your own new world I can ́t believe that this is happening to me as it‘s happening to the rest of us fight back – don‘t be afraid unite and find the truth now it is too late they lie – manipulate deny – as we die lies help me find my way to tell the truth in a world that‘s full of lies days are made to serve a purpose that everyone denies help me find my way to tell the truth that no one wants to hear everything is possible once you overcome your fear

about

Today we rise Frankfurt, Germany

"This is me....."

What in 2006 started as a fun project to release some steam and anger has over the years led to a household name in the German hardcore scene. TODAY WE RISE have managed the impossible - to stand out on their own, in a genre filled with tons of bands that claim the same. The only difference is - TWR can deliver on every front.
