Up there at the gallery blameless seat rows heads of gentlemen peer desirous high officials kiss the priest’s hand all steer at the bound flesh down there. From above strict commands From the bottom up defiant look From above tense silence From the bottom up iron will. chorus: “Mercy!” – the silence wants to scream Bravery sticks flowers into (the) guns petrifies the hangmen’s arms. Down there hopes and dreams of young blood from dread they won’t avert their eyes. They look defiant into the muzzles of the guns there’s no excuse for betraying life From above they turn their face away From the bottom up they turn the other cheek From above they pat each other's backs From the bottom up they shout A block of defiantness raises hands Soldiers peer hard at the filled place

Harm must be called to account. Thoughtless we still look away. Screams of pain are beyond All ethnical reasons. Oppressed beings, Damned to eternity. Anguished beings, Just for careless pleasure. Open your mind! Here we are now, human slaves. Start the revolt! Here we are now, suffering souls. Cease this torture! Here we are now, bearing pain. Stop genocide! Here we are now, mass murdered. Why would You mistreat life? Do you always show us your cold Sensation? Why would You execute life? (Do) You always act in the name of Selfishness? Suffer is daily routine Though there’s no guilty conscience. Since beginning of birth Death sentence is imposed. Degraded beings, From life to a product. Slaughtered beings, Just for gaining profit.

Free Far 03:56
Far, free for only one hour like the winds in the spheres flying high over the days. To drink light and eat foam of clouds My tears bring the summer rain my eyes the birth of colours. Free! To grant my soul wings Free! Drink light for one hour! nothing more ‘bout infinite nights, in which the eyes become big of nameless misery. Tears are dampening my cheeks (of) the nights of insanity, of images of hope, My river leads me to the sea huge, graceful water. I’m a stream with waves which seek the shore. My only desire to spill myself into this sea.

Gateway 03:26
She hurried up at first light the fog danced ‘round her feet as if clouds would greet the sleepy sea. At the quay she turned her head but house and tree were lost she fears the heavy seas. On deck she holds the wheel the captain she’s never seen but she’s sure each one knows the course. She sets sails she steers the course She sets sails and steers the course / Stay on course The ship tamps but she stands She sets sails and steers the course to strange and distant lands. She’d be dying to turn back the winds carry her away so her shore she’ll see nevermore. Again she casts the meshes the catch won’t be enough to lay in stocks and ease the needs. She doesn’t mind dark waters and its’ unknown entities but she worries ‘bout ripped nets and sails She’s dreaming of her tree which ascends defiantly with his wry arms in the storm The ship tamps but she stands her sight goes straight ahead

Again I pack my bags Don’t turn my head back Leave this place And drive away Hold onto all I love Rush into a new part of life Somewhere there’s a place where I feel home Anything, anywhere Something I can hold onto Every single day I run away run away from this familiar neighbourhood the old pictures chase me they were never on my walls Waiting eyes in drafty places rooms Sleepless home Restless place Home is a place where we settle down But to your world we won’t belong We tear off the mask and look through our eyes Holding onto all we love A brand new day And brand new plans But I still seek For something I can’t reach Hurry up to get the warmth of the sun The wave’s spray rests never too long

about

Minutes From Memory Stuttgart, Germany

We live, we die, we cry, we smile, we love, we hate, create, destroy – zwischen Wut und Verzweiflung, Liebe und Hass, Hoffnung und Resignation pendeln die Song der vierköpfigen Screamo/Postrock Band MINUTES FROM MEMORY aus Stuttgart.

Wer nach einer Mischung aus Thrice, Alexisonfire, Paramore und Pianos Become The Teeth sucht, dem wird die Stuttgarter Band gefallen.
