by Gene Pritsker & Thomas Fischer

performed by
Thomas Fischer - shout voice

mixed by Fabian Horn

Pandemic Dance #25 is a co-composed piece. Shout Voice singer Thomas Fischer wrote the lyrics and the rhythms to the lyrics. I took this music and wrote a guitar part over it, outlining some of the rhythmic elements and adding melodic content.

Chapter One: freedom
This is what we've earned
what we deserve
this is what we've earned this is what we deserve

We failed as a society
this is me this is who I am who I am
who I am

freedom is
what we all should fight for
cause we know
that our ancestors fought for our freedom
we appreciate the gift

now who are you
who are you
to order me to stay inside
keeping me from living the life that I am entitled to live

Chapter Two: Risk and Responsibility
We get it
Oh yes we get it
you are a bunch of lucky devils
incarcerated
condemned to drown in boredom
for nothing for nothing
for nothing for nothing
symptoms are rare
mortality is low
BUT
when implementing social impact
you show lack of compassion
lack of foresight
lack of
responsibility for fellow human beings
hospital capacities
are overloaded
and still
People have strokes – think
Heart attacks – think
Accidents – think
They even won’t stop to shoot – think, think
think again and then start to understand

Chapter three: This is you
This is what we've earned
what we deserve
this is what we've earned this is what we deserve

We failed as a society
this is you this is who you are who You Are
who you are

you don‘t see
that you kill
the people who are weak
you just see
what you can’t do
now that the birds begin to sing outside


Now here I come
Here I come
I’m asking you to stay inside
For I am weak
Not even old
I just want to stay alive
Alive


Chapter four: The aftermath
In the end, there will be no one
Noone who doesn’t have to suffer from a loss
Everyone will grief and shed tears
Over people who they loved who we loved

When you wake up in this world full of pain
Knowing that you played your part as you did
How can you carry the weight on your soul
How can you handle the guilt

I picture your sorry asses attending to every single burial
Shrugging your shoulders and stating „It was worth it!“

Only it wasn’t …
