"1914" [Part 1-4] music and lyrics (spoken): Armand Gutheim A new year is awaiting for us outside the door with new times much happier than ever before Yet another year, with the excuse for a new better score and the hope to bring the drifting ship back ashore But in our New Year’s resolution, hides also a true disaster where peace and understanding are blown up by an evil blaster A simple struggle for power where nobody can be the master while fate is only knocking harder and faster Instrumental Also: “Silent night” (in German, English and French) © 2018 MOTHER EARTH ARTISTS

NOTHING BUT A WAR PLAY [1917] music and lyrics: Armand Gutheim They give you a story of greatness, pride and glory a world that can reunify They give you a purpose so great behind the surface they make you believe you can fly They give you a big part so you think you are real smart you grow to believe you’re so sly They give you the power to make your enemy cower but nobody will tell you why!... chorus - - - It’s a lie what they say You will die anyway In the sky they don’t pay for your cry… It’s nothing but a war play! They give you a reason to fight against all treason when nobody will qualify They give you a feeling of floating above the ceiling you feel so incredibly high They give you a title to keep you highly vital but you know, it’s something you buy They give you a memorial to ensure you’ll be immortal but nobody can tell you why!... chorus - - - © 2018 MOTHER EARTH ARTISTS

LA PETITE MORT [1933] music and lyrics: Armand Gutheim We gonna put up a fight Release the tensions Gonna put up a fight In new dimensions bridge - - - And every time they ask for more we gonna give them La Petite Mort We gonna put up a fight Feel no resistance Gonna put up a fight Erase all distance bridge - - - chorus - - - Oh! We gonna give them La Petite Mort We gonna give them La Petite Mort We gonna give them La Petite Mort La Petite Mort… We gonna put up a fight Enhance our senses Gonna put up a fight Break down the fences bridge - - - chorus - - - © 2018 MOTHER EARTH ARTISTS

APOCALYPSE [1945] music and lyrics: Armand Gutheim Do you hear me where we vanish in smoke? Why not fear me as the truth is no joke?… Everywhere you can see the fire in our damn cursed site and there’s no more sun as the ground turns white Our guiding star shone before so bright now it radiates only a bad night! chorus - - - Run, run away from the Apocalypse! Run, run way oooh, aaah… the Apocalypse! Do you see me as I try to escape? Why not be me and experience bad shape?… Everywhere people lose their hair shouting loud from fright and there is no way they can take to flight Our guiding star shone before so bright now it radiates only a bad night! chorus - - - Do you smell us as we lose our skin? Why not tell us that it's for our sins?… Everywhere you can see the trace from our foredoomed fight as we try to flee from the dazzling light Our guiding star shone before so bright now it radiates only a bad night! chorus - - - © 2018 MOTHER EARTH ARTISTS

AT THE IRON CURTAIN [1961] music and lyrics: Armand Gutheim Hey, don’t surrender because of writings on the wall Keep on being a love defender even if this world will fall bridge - - - So what have you found that goes on around An insidious sound that grows and rebounds chorus - - - But with sunshine in your mind everything will be fine again!... Hey, don’t surrender when the splendor’s just a fake Keep on looking through pretenders and expose their evil stake bridge - - - chorus - - - middle - - - It’s a crazy world we’re living in where we’re born to either lose or win Everything’s about who is complete and who manage to march on their feet It’s a crazy world we have to face where the violence seems to be the base With a life that’s only black or white it’s so easy to put up a fight It’s a crazy world we all have made but there’s hope if it begins to fade When one day the iron curtain falls will we maybe hear how heaven calls Hey, don’t surrender for the voice inside your ears Keep on fighting all offenders hiding deep inside your fears © 2018 MOTHER EARTH ARTISTS

HUMAN RIGHTS! [1968] music and lyrics: Armand Gutheim There’s a magical vibration we can all feel in the air Now’s the time for celebration or another fight to share bridge - - - You don’t know what’s real repression You just know what power is You don’t know what’s real regression You just know what sour is chorus - - - Human rights! That’s what we are fighting for Human rights! By now you should know the score Everywhere’s a fight for freedom but the reason can diverge They can win while reaching stardom then a new foe may emerge bridge - - - You don’t know what’s real injustice You just think you’re worth it all You don’t know what real distrust is You think someone else should fall chorus - - - © 2018 MOTHER EARTH ARTISTS

FOLLOW THAT FLYING DOVE [1989] music and lyrics: Armand Gutheim Suddenly, a glimpse of hope when we tear down that hated wall Finally, we all will cope with a life that should be a ball chorus - - - So we follow that flying dove in the sky above for peace and love Suddenly, we see the light after years in a darker place Finally, a hopeful sight with a new world so full of grace chorus - - - Suddenly, we can sing of joy for a future with no more war Finally, no one will destroy these new times with an open door chorus - - - choir - - - We’re together in this only world We will never ever let it cease! We’re together when we sing these words All we want is to live in peace! chorus - - - © 2018 MOTHER EARTH ARTISTS

KEEP ON MAKING PEACE music and lyrics: Armand Gutheim You and I in the middle of everything Good and bad those are the spices life can bring To make peace or create war the difference hangs on a tiny string chorus - - - Let’s keep on making peace! Well, we all choose the way to stay or run away There’s no one else but us to save the world So won’t you come on, go on, be strong there’s no way we can do it wrong Together we can stand and shout the word! chorus - - - You and I in the middle of a dream we should enhance Well, we all live and we all die but we won’t ever get a second chance… © 2018 MOTHER EARTH ARTISTS

about

This 13-tracks full length album takes us back to the 1900s on a musical trip through time and history with all its reminders and milestones still relevant for us all today. It is a concept album whose anti-war theme includes an unmistakable summary message with an inherent future hope for complete peace and freedom. It's a real journey, with an experience given to us in ways that only music can.

Some say history repeats itself, but that’s not completely true.
Nevertheless, it seems true when past circumstances are similar to today’s.
So one wonders why we often fail to recognize and learn from previous mistakes.
Is that because we humans tend to live in the here and now?

How many times have trivial events and minor decisions
led to unforeseen circumstances that changed the course of history?
The 1900s provide many examples of these, still relevant for us all today.
Eternal reminders of how little things can make a big difference.

When we overlook these reminders, we lose historical perspective
and it’s lessons only fade into dark obscurity.
So let the music speak and take us on a trip through time, and rediscover…
The Lost Memorial of the 1900s...
