Auszüge aus dem gesamten Songlyrics-Repertoire:



Colour Me (© Epikus)

What colour would you paint me now ?
Black or grey like yesterday ?
You never looked into my eyes
When I cried, you turned away

But maybe you'd deny having seen
My inner plea, when you looked at me

Don't you dare to leave me blank
'Cause coloured is the world outside
Don't crumple up my memories
My thoughts are anything but white

But maybe you'd deny having seen

I'm not dumb but I can't understand
How you're touching my body, but I can't reach your hand
I just feel like a portrait left incomplete
Unseen in the darkness behind huge walls of concrete

Colour me with brushes or crayon
Breathe new life into me every day
Like a rose or a flower in springtime
Colour me now neither black nor grey

Better keep your eyes on me
Though I'm no Michelangelo
It seems that you don't care about me
I guess I'm neither friend nor foe

But maybe you'd deny having seen

I'm not dumb but I can't understand
How you're touching my body, but I can't reach your hand
I just feel like a portrait left incomplete
Unseen in the darkness behind huge walls of concrete

Colour me with brushes or crayon
Breathe new life into me every day
Like a rose or a flower in springtime
Colour me now neither black nor grey




The Light (© Epikus)

This is the dawning of today
Now I can see the difference
Last night I tumbled into grey
Asleep I soon found silence

So bright the sunlight comes my way
I smile and everything's fine
I pray the sun is here to stay
I know it won't be a long time

The sun above me is shining bright
Now Heaven's doors reveal the light

Awake I barely see the sun
My mind is still so dizzy
No rest, I'm always on the run
Sunny days while the streets are busy

Out of the cold now we soon may rise
Our saviour is the healing light

Maybe it was just another dream
But I have missed no sunset
I ask myself where I had been
While I get between the blankets

The sun above me is shining bright
Now Heaven's doors reveal the light




Music In My Pockets (© Epikus)

Now I'm rough and ragged
Now I'm bruised and battered
But still there's music in my pockets

Now I'm rough and ragged
Now I'm nearly naked
It's all worth living with music in my pockets

I can seize it
I can hear it
I can waste it
I can feel it within my heart

Beneath my skin
Inside my veins
Under my bare feet
Even when it rains
I will always feel it

Don't ever stop to turn the music on
Don't ever cry before the music's gone

Now I'm rough and ragged
Now I'm bruised and battered
But still there's music in my pockets

Now I'm rough and ragged
Now I'm nearly naked
It's all worth living with music in my pockets

I can't see it
I can't taste it
I can't smell it
But I can feel it within my soul

Beneath my skin
Inside my veins
Under my bare feet
Even when it rains
I will always feel it

Don't ever stop to turn the music on
Don't ever cry before the music's gone

Now I'm rough and ragged
Now I'm bruised and battered
But still there's music in my pockets

Now I'm rough and ragged
Now I'm nearly naked
It's all worth living with music in my pockets




Vertigo (© Epikus)

A stairway still unseen
Is wound around the spire
This tower's circling up
Right into the sky

The keen air makes me dizzy
Over my head wisps of clouds
With a certain trepidation
I finally cry out loud

Will I wake before I fall ?
Will I fly before I die ?
Will I wake before I fall ?

As I hit the ground
The sunlight kicks me out of my dream
I lie awake and focus
On the tower where I had been

My fingers bleeding
My eyes are clinging to the rail
As I'm always scared of heights
But this seems to be so real

Will I wake before I fall ?
Will I fly before I die ?
Will I wake before I fall ?
Will I fly before I die ?




My Date With God (© Epikus)

Heading for a psychodelic afternoon
I'm heading for a date with God melting on a spoon
Yesterday was beautiful, today went down the drain
Yesterday I seized the sun, today I taste the rain
That's my date with God

No one's there to help me now, my thoughts are running deep
No one's there to understand the secrets that I keep
I close my red rimmed eyes to save the unknown world within
I close the doors to those who want to see the happening
That's my date with God

I feel my heart is fading like a leaf from a tree
I feel my soul is much too weak and defenseless as it bleeds
I turn off all the music and the lyrics in my life
I turn off the machine that finally helped me to survive
That's my date with God




Tanz für den Frieden (© Epikus)

Die Tage vergeh'n und Jahre geh'n schnell vorbei
Niemand bleibt steh'n, wenn ein Leben erlischt
Jede Sekunde kann die letzte sein
Wir helfen zusammen damit man niemals vergisst:

Es ist Zeit, Zeit zu handeln.
Es ist Zeit.

Leblose Wörter sind gefühllos und kalt
Wir singen für Frieden damit die Sonne wieder scheint
Die Welt hält den Atem an
Mit jedem der Bilder eines sinnlosen Kriegs
Der nur trennt und nicht vereint

Es ist Zeit, Zeit zu handeln.
Es ist Zeit.

Komm' mit mir und tanz' für den Frieden!
All we are singing is "Give Peace a Dance!"
Komm' mit mir und tanz' für den Frieden!
Reich' mir Deine Hand!

Noch nie gab es Sieger ohne Verlierer
Ein Kampf der nicht lohnt aber Leid hinterlässt
Wunden verheilen doch das Leid sitzt viel tiefer
Wir singen für Frieden und halten uns daran fest

Es ist Zeit, Zeit zu handeln.
Es ist Zeit.

Komm' mit mir und tanz' für den Frieden!
All we are singing is "Give Peace a Dance!"
Komm' mit mir und tanz' für den Frieden!
Reich' mir Deine Hand!
