about

First official video and single from the upcoming album "Friedhof".

A song about freedom, fleeting need, but also about the sadness of leaving your homeland, of being away from your loved ones.
Inspired by a true story of a young woman who escaped from Gaza.

lyrics

My mom taught me
how to be an early bird
not to suffer hunger pangs
not to fear my self at all
and I know
yes I know
I won't be good
I woke up early
to catch the worm
but it didn't work
I now have nothing more
than rusty steel in my mouth
I chose to be a fleeting bird
cause it couldn't work
for me to be in a cage
not even just to rest my weary bones
