Annihilate Me

Calm down, relax,
this is not how to gain control.
Godspeed, good luck,
Mold their minds and you’ll be pulling the strings.
No one can know this
but you’ve already lost.
No one can know that
you’re back on square one.
Guilty, what I did I know was wrong.
I cannot grasp the vast rules you write upon your wall.
Who suffered for me?
You know I didn’t have a choice.
My crime was merely ideal.
Calm down, relax,
the situation is under control
no worries my friend
we’ll make room, enough to go around
No one remembers
the things from yesterday.
No one will know me
I’ll soon be vapourized.
Annihilate!
This is the end love, this is the end now.
The point of no return.
This is the end now, this is the end love.
Don’t wait up for me.

Two Minutes Hate

Trust me, I know what's best
I’m your big brother
making your decisions for you.
(ignorance is strength)
Ask me, I know what's right
I’m your guardian
your opinions are mine to have.
(freedom is slavery)
Two minutes hate,
that’s all you’ll have to give.
For two minutes hate
the world is yours
Send you off to fight
for something I say is right
cuz you know that war is peace my friend.
Get away, get away
while you still can.
Run away, run away
this is your last chance
now, let’s escape this world.
Two minutes hate
That’s all I ask of you
For two minutes hate
the world is yours

Nobody cares about the truth
nor that everybody else believes the lie.
It's getting close ´til this land is theirs
while everybody else just turn away.
Why I don't know
I don't know how much more there is of this.
Don’t make a mistake it might cost you.
Don't step on the crack it might hurt you.
Don’t wait until gravedigger Billy puts you in his grave.
I still maintain,
and they’ve got no way to stop,
and it goes all the way to the top.
Wait ‘til they fall
No words, no words can describe the greed in man...
they want more and more.
Don’t make a mistake it might cost you.
Don't step on the crack it might kill you.
Don’t wait until gravedigger Billy puts you in his grave.

Sorry, sorry my old friend.
Things don't turn out as the should,
you know it’s not the choice you made,
nor the path you chose to tread
Hey, are you falling far behind,
just like you always did?
Are you holding back the truth,
just like before?
Deal me once again,
these cards don't suit me now.
You can’t persist, it's doomed to fail,
and when it’s time to face the facts
all crumbles down and collapses to the ground.
Time to wrap it up, your days of terror reign are over.
Hey, are you coming in last place,
just like you always did?
Holding back the tears,
just like before.
Deal me once again,
these cards don't suit me now.
Can you deal me once again?
Hey, are you falling far behind,
just like you always did?
Are you holding back the truth,
just like before?
Deal me once again.
Can you deal me once again?
Please deal me once again.

I’ll give, ´n I´ll take life.
My rep precedes me.
Count the days ´til I‘m coming.
Fear my visit, but still great me with respect.
How long can you hold your breath?
Lay low, don’t make a single sound.
How long can you stay under?
Alone, hoping no one finds you.
How long can you stay unseen,
always looking over your shoulder.
Yea, it´s alright.
Glass of milk, the tension builds.
„It´s just formality“
Come now, rat on your friends.
A reward, they’ll understand.
Your spirit starts to break, but still keep on smiling yea.
My men, they enter in
Prepare, the cleansing.... Fire!

John Doe

Freedom is to know, that two plus two is four.
It´s hard to let it go, resist the twist of fate,
and hope it´s not too late.
Just to let you know, what you thought was right before
is now crushed under the gavel.
To know is all you have to do
In order to fight back
Slow down, don’t run!
Play by all the rules
and pledge to all the fooles.
A coup no one foresees.
Realize it’s not too late.
Disown, reveal, mistrust,
the trust you misplaced in his hands.
Inform, enlight, repopulate.
Regroup, retaliate.
Stand ground, make a sound!
Don't become the next John Doe.

Not A Crook Copenhagen, Denmark
Not a crook is the brainchild of Icelandic musician Steinar Guðjónsson. Active in the Icelandic rock and jazz scene for over
a decade now, most noticeably as the guitarist of the Icelandic rock band Coral, Steinar now makes his debut as a lead singer with this project.
The music can be described as an eery rock fusion with an anti-fascist undertone.
