Bang Bang
Don't get me started,
It happened all so quick
Police were walking
Down the street.
A mob of angry people shout,
I said, "What is this all about?"
And everything would change in a heartbeat.
When...
Bang Bang
I saw a poor man falling
Bang Bang
A baby started cryin'
Bang Bang
I saw a woman fallin'
A baby started cryin'
In New York some months before,
The stock market was in heat
And big timers made money out of it...
They bought all shares money can buy,
The price of food went sky-high
So a lot of people are gonna die...
Pain Called Pleasure
Is it pain or pleasure?
What you need to get ya?
It's a pain called pleasure
Make sure now,It's your nature.
You went so far
Without innocence.
You went so far
That it makes no sense.
Kiss The Witch
Tonight,
While all the stars
Shine brightly,
I walk alone again,
In the forest of life.
I left,
long behind the city
To find the one I was told
That will keep me alive.
She
She is someone special.
That will break your spells
And set me free.
She
She will take me away from you
And deep into the woods,
Now i see her light.
I don’t think i worry
Honey, I am not sorry ’cause
I kiss the witch
I really had enough
Of our broken dreams
King of a spoiled queen...
Well, enough of that.
This witch I’ve been told
Has a magic touch
And looks like you too much
As she opens the door.
Dead Inside
Sometimes our smiling faces
Hide our deepest fears.
As shadows leave no traces
All feelings disappear.
Can't find the Garden of Eden
Cursed on a desert land
Where Judas wants to kiss us
But nobody will miss us...
Each time feels
like the last time
But then it starts again.
More lonely than I've ever been
But this time, not alone.
Somebody locked us out now.
We can't get through the gates
Sacrificed outside the Garden
To a world of hate...
And it's becoming stronger
Stronger and stronger
Until we are all
Dead Inside.
Lap Of The Universe
A million stars
Outside your window
A thousand light years
Away from home.
The Milky Way looks
Kinda strange now
But you've already found...
You're on the lap
Of the Universe.
You wanna know
The biggest secret
Answer the questions
In your mind.
Don't look around ya
The answer is deep inside ya
But you've already stopped...
You're on the lap
Of the Universe.
Fun Is A Four Letter Word
Put your arms around me
Let's play that silly game
The one that makes you blush
Again and again.
Let me sit beside you
Got rubbers in the truck
Baby, when you smile
You're cool as fuck.
Fun is a Four Letter Word.
Come gamble with my slot machine
Three cherries in a row
Do us both a favour
And let's blow.
Gimme an "F",
Gimme a "U"
I'll give you an "N"
Cause you're too cute
Wrap your legs around my back
I'm cool as fuck.
I'm cool as fuck.
Eon
Eon
The time is passing
And never returning
One eon old
Eon
Ten eons old...
This gentle giant's name
Is Eon
And he lives forever
His game is called eternity
How small and insecure
Are men
In Eon's game
Like grains of sand
On a cosmic beach
Eon
The time is passing
And never returning
One eon old
Eon
Ten eons old...
Strangest Of Fruits
Wild beast city
Boiler of souls
We challenge you tonight.
Garden of evil
Mother of all whores
You melt into the night.
We gave you blood
You gave back nothing
But you guided us
To the strangest of fruits.
We found ourselves
Dried out of feelings
By the bittersweet taste
Of the strangest of fruits
Called life.
Each star tonight
Has a friend's name
Of friends that were lost
In your numerous paths.
Winners
Baby,
You're not alone tonight
If living means to fight
Stand proud, you'll be alright...
But remember
Remember how it feels
When you're on your knees
When you say...
"Please Stop Hurting Me"
Oh Honey
Honey don't you know?
That life is just a show
And who's the first to go?
Remember
Remember life's a game
Where the winner's all alone
But this winner feels no pain.
Fight
(Life is but a dream)

The Love Hatesong
You speak - She cries
She speaks - You die
But not enough balls
To say goodbye?
Well, this song's for you.
You're wrong - She's right
She's cool - You're tight
Can't tell you why,
But it's gonna be a good fight
Tonight
So this one's for you.
When you're down
And you think you blew it
Just stand up and do it
The love hatesong.
It's not that great
But it's better than nothing
So I'm giving it to ya
The love hatesong.
Spider Jack
What goes up - must come down
When Spider Jack comes to town
No time to fool ‘round
When Spider Jack comes to your town
If you don't know which way to go
(Ask Jack)
Ask Jack to help you.
If someone gives you a hard time
(Call Jack)
Jack can protect you.
But if Jack says "you gotta jump"
Be sure to ask him "how high"
Cause you don't wanna make him mad,
And see the fury in his eye.
He carries the Bible,
His Word and his truth
He carries a six-gun
Under his coat
Spider Jack was dressed in Black
He could slit your throat, just like that
It didn’t matter he carried a gun
He got shot in the back
And we got a new Spider Jack
Who carries the Bible,
His Word and his truth
He carries a six-gun
Under his coat
Nightshift
Whenever I Spoke
Out My Feelings
I Never Knew
What I Was Dealing With
Backstabbed
Laughed At
Ruined
When I Could Simply Say
Fuck You
I'm On A Nightshift...
Release Versions 2010 & 2009
“New Zero God's biography reads like the name-droppers guide to goth. The band's pedigree is connected to legendary names such as The Mission and The Sisters Of Mercy, and in their present guise they have already scored support slots with Christian Death and The Legendary Pink Dots. It comes as no surprise then that 'Fun Is A Four Letter Word' is an album that takes its cues from the rough and ready gothic rock of the 1980s...”
- Terrorizer Magazine / Dominion - UK
"Auf dem Debut der Griechen wird einem ergo so einiges geboten. Hoffen wir, dass der Bandsegen durch die momentane Stimmung in Griechenland nicht allzu sehr getrubt wird und dass sich die Jungs dadurch nicht einschuchtern lassen. Fun Is A Four Letter Word“ ist jedenfalls eine geniales Gemisch, das mit viel Variation und im noch richtig guten handgemachten Stil keine Eintonigkeit aufkommen lasst. (9/10)"
- Gothic Paradise - Germany
"Si os gustan las bandas antes mencionadas e incluso los The Cult de sus inicios, no deberíais perder de vista a estos atenienses..."
- Mariskal Rock - Spain
"...Constructively, apart from one or two exceptions, there is no exaggeration to refer to “Fun Is A Four Letter Word” as a landmark. Forget it is 2010, and let yourself enjoy this album’s lust. (8/10)..."
- Subexistence - Greece
“This is the band's debut, but the members bring a wealth of experience and influences to the buffet table. I can see "Kiss the Witch" and "The Love Hatesong" catching on, and really confusing fans because they're so drastically different. A band to watch evolve..."
- Lollipop Magazine - USA
“A great album you should definitely check out if you live on the darker side of rock, and let’s hope the next album comes around quicker than this one did. 8 out of 10”
- Paul Broome, The Midland Rocks - UK
"...Mike went back to the beginning, re-evaluated his thoughts, and decided to opt for being in a straight Goth-type rock band with no frills and a suitably ‘dirty’ feel to the whole thing. New Zero God has been put in the post-punk category but there is something more Goth than Post-punk going on, verging on rock that creates a unique sound, all the mentioned elements are there, but with a twist..."
- Terrorizer Magazine / Dominion - UK
"Tirando le somme, promuovo a pieni voti “Fun is a four letter word”, album che consiglio a tutti coloro che hanno amato i Flowers Of Romance ed a chi se li è persi, per distrazione o età, negli anni novanta."
- Erba Della Strega - Italy
"Leutchen die gerne ein bischen querbeet Underground Musik horen, sind hier sicher gut aufgehoben. Hier gibts Gothic Rock, Punk Rock, Metal aufs Ohr, halt aber alles nur stuckchenweise!"
- Gothic Family - Germany
"Selbst absolute Gothic Rock-Cracks, die sich gerne FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM, THE MISSION, SISTERS OF MERCY und SECRET DISCOVERY zitierende Bands antun, sollten erst einmal vorsichtig an den Horhappchen naschen."
- Musik Reviews - Germany
"…E come resistere al basso perfora-cervello di “Kiss the witch”, alle atmosfere cupissime di una “Dead inside” tagliata a metà dalla sei corde assassina?... …Terminato l’ennesimo ascolto, ecco che m’assale la nostalgia dei grandi Ordeal By Fire (ensemble affine a New Zero God, nell’attitudine e nell’esposizione)… Quanto mi mancano!..."
- Ver Sacrum - Italy
"Mit Liebe zum Detail und mal ganz „handgemacht“ weis die Musik schnell zu gefallen und sich mit seinem teilweise euphorischen Charakterzugen ins Hirn zu brennen, um dort fur Soundergusse zu sorgen. Schon gemacht und ein Genuss fur’s Nichtelektroniker! Kratzig wie ZZ Top, klassisch wie Van Helen und dennoch newZEROgod. Ein abwechslungsreiches, appetitliches und wohlbekommliches Album fur Jung- und Altrocker! (9/10)"
- Fahrplan Schwarz - Germany
