DUKE`S WORLD
It's a big day today
Duke has been born
A lucky guy from Europe
You can see it at once
His smile holds his future
He'll go to school soon
To learn to read and write
So not to miss important rules
He learns the world from a TV screen
It shouldn't be too wide
Duke learns to count to know
Where the border lies
That he mustn't cross
He started dreaming as he'd been told
He started working but he didn't know what for
Wanted to find out but he was warned
Duke met a girl
But not very pretty
They were living together but not for long
His heart was bleeding for some time
looking for his place but couldn't find one
He became an observer but couldn't understand
He pretends his eyes are sharp
But there is nothing he can see
He pricks up his ears
But doesn't know whose speech it is
He tries to take the floor but these are not his words
He simply forgot who he was before
It's better for Duke not to know who he is now
Don't try to wake, too overwhelming it is
Keep on sleeping peacefully
We keep on watching you
There is no need to think
You can leave it for us
Duke's passed away today
He didn't get a thing
He thought about his life to the very end
He didn't make it as there wasn't enough time
Although he kept hearing – save it pal
Goodbye Duke, make room for the others
Let them learn from your mistakes
A priest said over the grave
Throwing a bit of dirt
Muttering under his breath
A miracle hadn't taken place
A miracle hadn't taken place

BLUE TEMPLE
One, two, three, four, one, three, four
He is watching TV, oh, he is
He is watching TV, oh, he is
He is staring at it all day long
He is flipping channels back and forth
He is watching TV, oh, he is
He is watching TV
The man is sitting in his own armchair alone
Sinking in his couch and ready for the next show
He's flipping back and forth between his favourite dreams
The rage inside of him is blocked by a blue screen.
The curtain's going up, his friends are there
Half-naked girls and a nice presenter
All ready]to take care of you tonight
They're gonna make it right
They're wishing him a happier, joyfull, better life
Apart of him, his doughter and his lovely wife
Once he promised them to get it all he could
Its time to make a dream come true
Maybe he should swap his old car for a yacht
Maybe he could be a richer than he thought
He believes that he could be someone at last
So say the TV guy and the girls he trust
Here's another piece of news about George Floyd
Must have been just one of accidents, oh boy
Many questions going through his troubled mind
Should he watch the programme – there is Spring outside
Yet, there is another TV show at five
More advice on how to live their mundane life
How to make something happen, he has no clue
Maybe a blue screen will tell him what to do

WILL BE GONE TOMORROW
You've decided
To do a good deed today
Packing your staff neatly like no one else
Like a monk who sets off at dawn
Your mum hugs you tight
Your dad fills up with pride
Friends pat your shoulder
Pretending they don't know how old you are
New war, new aim, new words
What was yesterday is fading away
You don't need to get it right
The wind blowing your hair
Little Walker has made you feel rage
You go to the East you hear desert calling
Laurel wreath on your head
Tight uniform on your puffed out chest
Come back soon tell us all the stuff
You must learn what's important today
Pale face, emotionally drained
People with flowers welcome you
Everyone's waiting, chewing on their lips
Elegant dresses shining in the sun
Medal held in hands waiting to be pinned
Oh, you've arrived in the end
The plane is taxiing like a bird
You won't appear at the door on your own
They've sent you back to your mum
In a box like a birthday gift
Covered with a flag
With lovely Stars and Stripes
They won't forget you fast
Mr President assures your mom
He extends his sweaty palm
But memory is so short
The same old story all the time
There's nothing you can do
We come up with ideas
You come back in a chest
Yes, boy, without a chance

UNMASKED DREAMS
What you get
What you give
What you borrow
What you lose
What you see
What you love
What you betray
What you cry over
What you dream of about
What you doubt
What you hate
The reason you live, create, and write
What you breath in
What you step on
What openes your eyes?
What makes them die
What they've told you to doubt
And what you're supposed to believe in
What is hope, doubt, indifference
What dies and what is born
What makes you raise your head
And what makes you lose it
Everything's under control
Been counted
Been confirmed
Agree with that
don't try to understand
You'll only waste your time
That's what life is like
Driven by compelling thoughts

ASH AND DIAMONDS
I met Miles
I entered his world
So it seems
His voice is powerful and so am I
He lives in Africa
And I'm here with cold city lights
He drinks water from a clay pot
I've got a green lawn watered every day
He crawls through a waste dump to get few drops
I've changed my old car for a faster one
to catch up with things the world has to offer
I've mentioned a car that runs on gas
He talked about land covered with black gunk
When I talk about love I feel every day
He complains about neighbours living next door
those who have sharp blades
I keep on writing about my happiness
But Miles is not writing any more
He just sends smiles
When I talk about freedom I know so well
Miles keeps quiet with eyes filled with tears
Black and white world with no colours at all
It becomes clear
I'm here you're there without choice

IS THIS WHAT WE MEANT?
The man on the cross turned his head away
He can't look at it anymore
We can't turn back the clock
Dogs without muzzles
Is this what we meant ?
Is this our race to the stars ?
I look behind the day before
Nothing good was going on
Ships that used to move on gracefully
Have torn sails right now
On the cracked bed of the Aral sea
Big city lights like bloodshot eyes
Attract moths from all over the world
New election, new hopes
Old promises, the same methods
When they pat your back
You feel you're a better man
There must be a way out
Talks at a card table finished fast
As we ran short of snacks
Hard weapon enters the game
We'll fight them or we'll be defeated
Is it really going to be the same story again ?
When mighty vessels didn't come back on time
Whisper of greed from the past
Wilful deception chases us
You can talk less and less
The child that was born
Has more and more defects

SUZANE AND PETE
To live in San Francisco
That's Pete and Suzanne's dream
Silicon fantasies
Twist around their minds
Look, the sun is rising
Don't waste your time sleeping
Hop on the bus at once
There all guys are wearing
Angelic shirts and ties
Washed out of dirtless dreams
Tailor made to fit their heads
Old John whose home`s on the street
Comes here every night
Is going to die tomorrow
Cos hasn't been possessed by this fate
Oh, Suzanne, we're the world creators
The press will soon reveal that fact
Can you feel the wind blowing?
All those figures
Got through our heads
Pepsi in the Andes
and Mc Donald in Tibet
Contented global world
No differences no flaws
Let's take a ride in Porsche,
What do you think of that ?
We'll leave our imprint
Oh, thousand souls passed away
Some people say
Who don't have faith in us
It was a miracle pill
That was supposed to amuse us to death
I wanted so much to heal that
Miserable and tired world
Oh, Suzanne, that was a mistake
I hope they will forgive us
You, know, the common sense died yesterday
The world had failed to keep it
What can a bird like me
Shout in a hurricane ?
Such a bird like me
On the Hollywood hills
A film was made one day
Everyone cried watching it
They returned home and forgot it anyway
At dawn they'll wake up
In a wonderful, global world

Screaming Earth Warsaw, Poland
The Screaming Earth band asks uncomfortable questions. Their music doesn’t tell you how to live, but makes you think about it. They reveal what has been uncomfortable for a long time. What is happening to the world and people ? Where are we heading ? Is our time limited ? Their words are the scream of the whole planet. You might call them dreamers but for sure they are not the only ones ! ... more
