    Hard Strike – A Thousand Pieces
    After we released our 7" the conflict in February 2020 and the full force of the pandemic changed our lives. We thought that after the incredible response, love and encouragement we received for our music, we should write a few more songs and see what happens. Like the pandemic, the songwriting has taken a little more time than we originally thought. Distance, daily life, jobs. Family and health sometimes throw a spanner in the works.
    Patience paid off, so that we started recording our ideas at the end of 2021 and finally everything was recorded in June 2022. This resulted in 6 new Hard Strike songs that we are all very proud of. We think we managed to combine the energy of our old songs with new elements to give our sound its own vibe without forgetting our roots.

Chances 02:26
Chances We knew what we wanted. we insisted on our right to claim our place in an angry and impatient time. It didn't matter what they said. We wanted to be someone else. We weren't smart enough. We weren't strong enough. We didn't take our chances and spat on their reality. And now stranded in our great society. We could choose made wrong decisions. Always the same mistakes. It seems we didn't make it to grow and learn from it. We never knew what we wanted and to admit it to us. We weren't smart enough. We weren't tough enough. We didn't take our chances and spat on their reality. And now stranded in our great society. We are stranded in our great society. Embrace the reality

Out Of My Head Your games are a waste of time And I'm telling you it's pointless You only believe what you want that doesn't solve the problems. How can I resolve this current chaos in my head? If only I could undo my own mistakes. It was clear from the start it only took a moment. You didn't want to understand you are still my opponent You're tryna get in my head now But I want you out of my head now Your games are a waste of time And I'm telling you it's pointless You only believe what you want that doesn't solve any problems I should know what it means to listen and understand it took a long long time years of full regrads It was clear from the start it only took a moment. You didn't want to understand you are still my opponent You're tryna get in my head now But I want you out of my head now I'm tired of running so I turn to fight back Now you can look into my eyes, a look without respect. I am now free from fear and do not have to hide. One more deep breath and I'll erase you from my mind. I don't care what you feel, what you say, I don't want to give you my hand. I don't care if you cry, if you plead so please get out of my head You're tryna get in my head now But I want you out of my head now

Thousand Pieces It is time to break through the wall of silence, we´ve been silent for too long out of comfort. Bad enough we were aware of it in the past but now we have the courage to speak out loud. We are tired of your old phrases there is no longer a reason to be afraid You want to have everything under control, but thats just an illusion You want to have everything under control, but that was never a solution. We have to face our fears Before we break into a thousand pieces
4.
Another Way 02:48
Another Way You want to sell us lies as facts, but we fight your truth with fire. Your intentions are the mirrors of your own desires. Your old traditions are false reasons for which you want to be admired You just didnt´t get it that it makes us really tired We know you want those old days back And you try it step by step. We will never support that. We stand for a another way Your old ideals are just false and empty promises. Overwhelmed by your own fear, you create new prophets All your attempts have failed and you have to accept that we are building our future on freedom and respect We know you want those old days back And you try it step by step. We will never support that. We stand for a another way Now we have the burden and fate is in our hands. we have to try with all our strength to turn the things around again. We are running out of time, it really is a shame. We join forces to avert the worst to stay alive. We join forces to avert the worst to stay alive

No Excuses 01:58
No Excuses We don't want to hear any more excuses You always talk so much and none of it makes sense. And if it were all over tomorrow there would be nothing left as empty promises But be sure, we will not forget that you had the chance to slow it down or prevent it. But now we must deal with the their waste. We don't want to hear any more excuses because we are all affected and must do our part And if it were all over tomorrow we would have failed just like that But be sure they don't forget That we had the chance to slow it down or prevent it. But now they have to deal with our waste We can't relax we have to save our future. We can't relax we have to do this together
6.
Facts 01:40
Facts you're moving in the wrong direction it's almost too late. there is no time, you have to act to save the rest of your empathy. You have to accept the facts why dont you want to understand You have to accept the risk or you don't get ahead You lack sufficient inspiration That's why you are not one step further. You hide your fears and your aggressions ' Cause you are so afraid to fail You have to accept the facts why dont you want to understand You have to accept the risk or you don't get ahead It's not about pride, it's not about fame It's not about victory and not about pain.
