Kynni if you need a solid, strong und fast brainwash of a bad day - this is it.
one of the most impressive albums the last years in my opinion

Enga Bungo 5 vor 12:00 in einer mondlosen Nacht: Du hörst das leise Klackern der Räder auf den Schienen-Verbindungen auf Dich zukommen und ein Windhauch streift Dir über den Kopf.
4 vor Mitternacht: Am Horizont siehst Du ein Glimmen zweier Feuer-Augen und aus der Ferne hörst Du ein dumpfes Gurgeln wie von Tom Waits auf Crack, der die Zugmaschine mit Kohlen stopft: "Volldampf voraus!"
3 vor Mitternacht: Immer schneller wird es größer, dieses Gefährt aus der Hölle und Du solltest jetzt schnell Deine Beine in die Hand nehmen und Dich vom Acker machen, aber Du bist paralysiert und kannst nicht aufhören die Maschine anzustarren.
2 vor Mitternacht: Sie quietscht, rattert und schnaubt auf Dich zu und immer ohrenbetäubender wird der Lärm. Du schreist in die Nacht, aber kannst Dich nicht hören bei dem Lärm.
1 vor Mitternacht: Schon spürst Du wie dieser Bollide aus Eisen und Stahl die Luft vor sich verdrängt, Dich versucht wegzuschieben und immer näher und näher kommt. Du spürst seinen heißen Feueratem und gleich erfasst er Dich. Mitternacht: Er fegt durch Dich hindurch und reißt Dir die Haut vom Leib, schält Dein Fleisch von den Knochen und reißt Dir die Innereien und das Gedärm aus dem Leib. Dein Herz frisst er auf und spuckt es auf den Schotter. Er nimmt alles Vergängliche mit und verstreut es auf dem Acker des Lebens bis nur noch Dein Gerüst da steht - durchfahren vom "Midnight Ghost Train".
Have fun folks, feel the Train a comin'...

Gladstone 03:41
Where did you come out Speak out your name and I breathe Holdin’ the breast of your young one and Prayin’ for sleep And I said Again And I read Amen It's not enough to Lay in the dark Reach for the one that you broken Say to the stars And I said Again And I read Amen I'm not the one that made you leave Holdin’ your head upon your knees But I'll be the one that makes you cry

BC Trucker 04:06
Transmit your thoughts while you compose An ontistic holdin’ of the notes I'm givin you self regret I'm givin you self regret I'm givin it all up to the leaves Be all my sins Be all within Be all my sins My sins remembered The holy merit of what it takes Just wanna reach four lines To fill that voided space I'm givin you self regret I'm givin you self regret I'm givin it all up to the leaves Be all my sins Be all within Be all my sins

Arvonia 04:11
Whoa go bring me my shotgun Ima start shootin’ again Whoa go fetch me my 12 gauge Ima gonna shoot that man I know he was with you I'm takin’ his life But stick around after him I'll show you my knife But I ain't gonna kill you Just wanna make you obey Turn it up till you feel the guitar bite Rock ‘n’ roll is here to take my life Whoa go bring me my coffee everything will be alright You know a man’s got needs I work hard you gotta sacrifice There's a war out there it's heavy and it's rough Well stick with me woman Cause I'm bold and I'm tough Just bring me my coffee Everything will be alright Turn it up till you feel the guitar bite Rock ‘n’ roll is here to take my… Get up On the mic Come on And get down tonight Let out The internal fight Turn up We’re gettin’ loud tonight

The Canfield 03:09
And I will be true to my love If my Love will be true to me When the voices call ya name Better come inside I’m leading you up the stairs Oh in the Canfield line I'm leavin’ your sufferin’ I'm takin’ you blind I'm leading your wedding I'm leavin’ your tortured life When the Indians come to life From that hotel they sleep They'll cut you in half my girl Oh and you'll break at the knees I'm leavin’ your sufferin’ I'm takin’ you blind I'm leading your wedding I'm leavin’ your tortured life When you pass the welcome sign You see the children lie They've tortured their guests in here And left their bodies to die I'm leavin’ your sufferin’ I'm takin’ you blind I'm leading your wedding I'm leavin’ your tortured life

The ship set sail outta port Deaded to the north The fear and the smell of the sea Will make you break We're far out from land So there won't be a hole in our way Now bind with your footsteps No longer grief will ingest The dark was the night so my eyes Can lay to rest To all the men on board Full speed the course My heavy head is a port Straight to the north I once had a lady That told me that we could be free But I'm trapped on this boat So for now my life will be the sea Hold on to something Cause this storm is rollin’ on in My hands held by death So god forgive me for all my sins To all the men on board Full speed the course My heavy head is a port

I'm takin’ you downtown To the back of the stage Just gimme the one chance And I'll bend the game And it's hard to tell them What I wanna be It's even harder to break through So I just scream Not one step back Not one step back It's really easy to stand out When you’re all the same I been in town for two years And you’re the ones to blame But it's hard to show them What they wouldn't see It's even harder to hang on So I just scream Not one step back Not one step back Raise your hands To the gods Raise ‘em up To break the cause Raise your hands To the gods

It's 3:34 in the morning And I still haven't gone to bed I shake and scream and tug at my ears From a song stuck in my head I know that I have heard it before And it's notes they make me weep This song comes burrowing through endless night As I desperately try to sleep Its tune is haunting and evil to me My insides are starting to show This brutal song keeps playin’ on And this is how it goes Padam padam padam Padam padam padam I been a martyr witnessed hell But never a horror like this It's paralyzing and breaks me down Leaves a tightness in my chest I fear that it’s the end of me These chords they rip so deep I can't control the energy I get When the notes begin to leap It has a line that mellows out And I can breathe one more breath But then the bridge comes storming in And this is what it says Padam padam padam Padam padam padam How could music feel so free And still take all that you have I thought you were my savior once But now I see you are my death An unrequited love we have I give it all at every show But you take and take and bury my heart And try to strip away my soul I have a wife I have two sons But you snap them up in two Padam padam padam you scream To this song my life I give to you So I’ll sit here and pick the notes in my head Across this beaten guitar And I'll continue throughout eternity Because the end is still so far

Twin Souls 04:50
I can't look back if you fall behind Or else they'll creep up on the line We’re off to war go fetch your gun So we can all bleed in the Spanish sun And it's alright Because I'm free Thank God the Twin Souls Are feeding me Sagrada Família is comin’ down While the enemies take on all the rounds We’re in the land of rabbits lived the kingdom one To slaughter your children and take your sons And it's alright Because I'm free Thank God the Twin Souls Are feeding me

Mantis 05:07
When you’re talkin’ alone I can't wait in line I been feelin’ your sickness Fallin’ down the vine I can hear you callin’ out the bottom of the name In the back of my mind Holding down with your sufferin’ For the wicked minds I’ve gone Head strong I’ve gone Head strong
