(Music: J. Menth / Lyrics: M. Mitchell) From far away You can hear their sound As every year they come to town With a special kind of entertainment To sell dreams that become nightmares Horrendous figures, unmasked evil Be aware to be scared Creatures of the night Children of the underworld They all come to the light This is a freakshow Live in the spotlight Just for a short time To scare and amaze Welcome to the freakshow When the night falls And the moon will rise They prepare for the show Come inside and let your blood freeze Let the naked fear grab you Evil faces, black masquerade Are you stunned, are you scared? Creatures of the night Children of the underworld They all come to the light This is a freakshow Live in the spotlight Just for a short time To scare and amaze Welcome to the freakshow They live in a dark world Captured in pain Disowned by society Their own mother’s shame Hidden in blame They end in the freakshow Creatures of the night Children of the underworld They all come to the light This is a freakshow Live in the spotlight Just for a short time To scare and amaze Welcome to the freakshow

(Music & Lyrics: I. Vaucher) Based on the novel “Winterhelden” by Thomas Vaucher Winter 1478 - The confederates besiege Bellinzona, which belongs to the Duchy of Milan. When the Duke of Milan sends an army of 10000 men to relieve Bellinzona, the confederates retreat across the Gotthard back to the Confederation. As guardians of the valley, a 125-strong squad is left behind to protect the villages of the Leventina from robberies of the Milanese. No one expects the entire Milanese army to move towards the Gotthard in the winter. Yet when they do, the few confederates face - supported by 400 locals - the 10,000 men and win. According to legend, they had dammed the river Ticino, which caused it to flood the banks and froze the way through the valley. The Milanese were not prepared for these circumstances and had no traction on the icy ground. The confederates however fought with steel crampons and nail shoes on their feet... One hundred left behind As guardians we were assigned There’ll be no threat, everyone thought Until their army got within eyeshot Last night we dammed the stream Flooding the road and completing the scheme We’re wearing shoes prepared with nails Our grip is strong and so we’ll prevail Blaring battle horns Prayers to the lord We’re not afraid of dying We roar our battle cry And raise our banners high We stand death-defying Through ice and snow we strike It’s time to make our stand We hunt for the kill We are prepared to fight We take our fate in our hands In the Valley of Death They are ten thousand strong We’ll show them where they belong They are doomed to pay the price ‘Cause they have no grip on the slippery ice There’s no escape for them now The field is ready to plow We attack them now with all our heart Let’s fight them till they fall apart Blaring battle horns Prayers to the lord We’re not afraid of dying We roar our battle cry And raise our banners high We stand death-defying Through ice and snow we strike It’s time to make our stand We hunt for the kill We are prepared to fight We take our fate in our hands In the Valley of Death With the ice on our side We’re ready to fight In the Valley of Death We’re making a stand And fight till the end Till there’s no one left to fight Or we die side by side With honor and pride In the Valley of Death

(Music: A. Spicher, J. Menth / Lyrics: A. Spicher) Pale blank faces Dimly lit by the screen Weary eyes hasting about Fueled only by caffeine Addicted to the World Wide Web Ignoring the social decay Logged in for your constant fix Every minute of every day Connected to the world Yet isolated from society Forever alone Trapped inside this virtual grave Your battery’s slowly dying You are a digital slave Trolling under an alias It’s the strongest you’ll ever feel Hide behind your anonymity ‘Cause you’re too scared to face what’s real Rotting in your lonely cell Online from dusk till dawn Erasing your human hard drive Till everything is gone Connected to the world Yet isolated from society Forever alone Trapped inside this virtual grave Your battery’s slowly dying You are a digital slave

(Music: M. Mitchell, J. Menth / Lyrics: M. Mitchell) I love to hunt And prowling in the streets Looking for fair game And for tasty meat Women of Queens Are the prettiest of ‘em all Go out and kill them Said father Sam I am a monster The Beelzebub I am the reaper A chubby behemoth I am the son of Sam I will kill you all My .44 will decline the love I am the son of Sam And follow his command Oh please help me When will it end? He keeps me locked up In the attic till dark I don’t wanna kill anymore But I must honor father Sam I am a monster The Beelzebub I am the reaper A chubby behemoth I am the son of Sam...

(Music: J. Menth / Lyrics: A. Spicher) I’ve reached the final chapter Of my journey through the dark My body’s covered in scars Telling tales of an endless war No brothers left to walk by my side Yet I still carry on To face the ultimate fight This is my final stand The final chapter When life comes to an end Death is my savior As I march through this ashen wasteland With nothing more but my sword in hand I gaze upon these blood-soaked plains And see the faces of the fallen men Haunting visions tearing at my will I’m on the verge of giving in Yet there’s one last foe to kill This is my final stand... Here I stand on the hill of scattered bones Blood dripping from my blade I face the unknown How many more will fall by my hand? When will I be defeated? When will I meet my end? Footsteps approaching Is he the one? A grim determination in his eyes It shall be done This is my final stand...

(Music: M. Vaucher, J. Menth / Lyrics: M. Vaucher) Smiling on TV or public events Encouraging slogans and speeches Noble acts for freedom Legal wars for democracy Illegal deals behind the scene They are just robots behind the mask Wired to destroy Soldiers of the wicked force They act with no remorse Soldiers of the wicked force Obeying the lords of war Nobel prizes for warlords and for their friends Million dollar elections Just to bend the laws They promise they do their best For a save and brave new world They are just robots behind the mask Wired to destroy Soldiers of the wicked force They act with no remorse Soldiers of the wicked force Obeying the lords of war

(Music & lyrics: T. Vaucher) Based on the medieval Welsh poem “Cad Goddeu - The Battle Of The Trees” from the Book of Taliesin You’ve been a fool to steal From the Lord of Annwn He won’t ignore your foolishness He will go to war To bring us down is what he swore We have to be ingenious I command you to walk And fight at our side March ahead of me And attack with all your might In the war of the trees Oak and willow fight In the war of the trees For Gwydyons life Privets versus giants Blood and resin spill When the trees are raised to life The war went on all night With still no end in sight We need to settle this differently We shall choose the game Of guessing our companion’s name The right guess leads to victory I command you to walk And fight at our side March ahead of me And attack with all your might In the war of the trees Oak and willow fight In the war of the trees For Gwydyons life Privets versus giants Blood and resin spill When the trees are raised to life Your companion bears An alder branch’s bloom He’s revealed himself That will be your doom ‘Cause this symbol, I know Belongs to the blessed crow This giants name is... In the war of the trees Oak and willow fight In the war of the trees For Gwydyons life Privets versus giants Blood and resin spill When the trees are raised to life Bran is thy name And victory shall be mine

I am dead Wiped away long time ago My shattered body Rotting six feet down below A violent act Pulled me from my shell The was no guiding light I'm trapped inside this cell Unfinished business keeping me around To this place of death I'll be forever bound Raising hell, night after night I am a restless soul Forever doomed to walk this earth in rage Out for vengeance, out for blood I will not rest in peace I will haunt you till the end of days Can't remember How long it's been My sense of space and time Is growing thin All I feel is anger All I see is red I will rage among these grounds Cause this is where I bled Sending cold shivers down your spine Once you enter this place, your soul will be mine Raising hell, night after night I am a restless soul Forever doomed to walk this earth in rage Out for vengeance, out for blood I will not rest in peace I will haunt you till the end of days

I'm walking alone through the streets The rain is pouring all over me I feel every heartbeat, I hear every breath I think about tomorrow and about death How long must I cry? When will it end? Will I suffer forever? I'm caught in a nightmare Please set me free May it be love, or destiny I cry every night Please set me free May it be love, or destiny I can't stop thinking about you Never know how to act when we meet We belong together there is no doubt But I guess you'll never find it out Here I stand with open arms But you're hiding in the shadows I'm caught in a nightmare Please set me free May it be love, or destiny I cry every night Please set me free May it be love, or destiny I can't bear all this pain inside me I see you everywhere I go I can see you in the rain that falls Where are you now? I still love you I'm caught in a nightmare Please set me free May it be love, or destiny I cry every night Please set me free May it be love, or destiny

(Music: J. Menth, M. Vaucher, T. Vaucher / Lyrics: M. Mitchell) Another day goes by Without any meaning, just dreams My life ripples on and on I’m sitting home all night Watching TV, drinking coke The 4 Walls around me closing in I have no friends at all And no one that would call But when my conscience fades I drift into my own world Where I’m a strong man, a hero, a king Oh, I dream I could be a superhero Made of steel and fly away A living miracle Hunting bad guys and kiss the girl in the end Oh, I wish I could be a superhero But night is running fast Reality grabbing me again I’m a normal guy at last And no one cares about me here But when their conscience fades They are in my dreamworld Here I’m a strong man, a hero, a king Oh, I dream I could be a superhero Made of steel and fly away A living miracle Hunting bad guys and kiss the girl in the end Oh, I wish I could be a superhero

(Music: M. Vaucher / Lyrics: M. Mitchell) I’m running through the streets To the next shelter Before they let loose their helter skelter I hear a roaring in the sky It’s coming closer The day of judgement will come Bombs are falling and then... Heaven comes down Sirens are screaming I fall to the ground As fire rages I want out of here Heaven falls down People are crying Within the ashes of doom So many dying Dull impacts everywhere The bombs are screaming In the raging firestorm Just dead and bleeding I hear their crying in the night It’s getting louder The day of judgement is here In the glow of Dresden Heaven comes down Sirens are screaming I fall to the ground As fire rages I want out of here Heaven falls down People are crying Within the ashes of doom So many dying

Brothers, we were, blood that bounds Until the death of our father The king is dead, long live the king But which one is stronger Twins are evil, not divine Locked me into the dungeon So many years I stopped counting But I won't wait, no longer No longer Because I, I swear revenge Someday I'll overthrow your reign And be my own king And I, I swear revenge In the castle of tyranny Taste sweet revеnge The seconds pass fastеr than light Escaping the prison, running for my life Inside my mind, it hurts so deep But I will return Because I, I swear revenge Someday I’ll overthrow your reign And be my own king And I, I swear revenge In the castle of tyranny Taste sweet revenge
