K-Night, the story
"K-Night, the Story" tells the story of a knight who questions the morality of his actions while fighting for his emperor. He realizes that killing innocent people is senseless and convinces his fellow knights to stop. Together, they get rid of the emperor and bring peace back to the land.
The song challenges listeners to think about blindly following leaders and the consequences of their actions.
The style of the song is rock, has some influences from black sabbath in it and also a touch of the Middle Ages. Aton O’Cat sings it, but for the part where the consciousness of the protagonist is sung there is a special guest singer: Happy Hendrix, who represents this consciousness real fine!

Rungholt
"Rungholt" is a rock song with a Middle Age atmosphere and a humorous tone. The song tells the REAL story of the town of Rungholt, which was a prosperous port town in the 10th century. The town had water locks, boat docks, and a thriving salt production industry that brought wealth to the town. However, in 1362, the 2nd Marcellus flood destroyed the town, and all that was left was its name.
The song explores the themes of the transience of human life, the inevitability of nature's power, and the idea that even the mightiest towns and civilizations can be lost to time.

Legal Criminals
The lyrics of the slow starting, but not slow ending, rock song "Legal Criminals" highlights the idea of people who use the law and their positions of power to exploit and harm others, particularly the vulnerable. The song mentions government officials, financiers, and big insurance companies as examples of these legal criminals who manipulate and cheat people out of their financial substance and existence.
The chorus repeats the phrase "legal criminals" to emphasize the idea that these actions are legal but still morally wrong.

I won’t come
This song is about a friend warning someone he cares about to not marry his partner because he believes his partner is only after his money and has other negative qualities.
The chorus from "I won't come" gives the feeling that the person warning is choosing not to attend the wedding because he cannot pretend to support the relationship. The chorus is sung as if it comes out of higher power.

Forbidden Fruit
It seems like the song is about temptation and struggling with desires for something that is forbidden. The "forbidden fruit" is a metaphor for something that is alluring and tempting but ultimately harmful or taboo.

The repetition of the phrase "forbidden fruit is juicy" emphasizes the seductive nature of the temptation. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and a plea for help in overcoming the desire for something that is ultimately forbidden.
The hard rock style of the song adds to the intensity of the lyrics and the struggle being described.

Talking to machines
"Talking to Machines" is a groovy rock song that reflects on the impact of modern technology on our daily lives.
The lyrics highlight the frustration and annoyance of communicating with machines that are supposed to make our lives easier, but often fall short of our expectations.
The song contrasts the science fiction vision of helpful robots and intelligent machines with the reality of Siri, Alexa, and Cortana, which often fail to understand our commands or deliver satisfactory results.
The nostalgic references to Buck Rogers, Mister Data, and Michael Knight add a playful touch to the song, while emphasizing the gap between our dreams of futuristic technology and the limitations of current devices.
The catchy chorus and upbeat tempo make "Talking to Machines" a fun and relatable anthem for anyone who has struggled with voice assistants, smart speakers, or self-driving cars.
