Lift up your spirits!
Too much pain and suffering, crying too many's funerals, we know the earth is dying gatherers, celebrants, in a state of merriment this sickness - cleanse us with fire and music. This tribal antidote my choice, come to the great assembly - Revelry rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice! Not a concert, show or entertainment a temple, a ritual, a festival of dissent kindred spirits exchange and listen we share in common different value system. This tribal antidote my choice, come to the great assembly - Revelry rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice! Church of liberty, you'll never take this from me barter, no money, i don't suffer from spiritual poverty economic slavery, come back with bravery here is a sanctuary we'll get away from all this. This tribal antidote my choice, come to the great assembly - Revelry rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice! 02. Hosannas From The Basement Of Hell
I harbour thoughts of killing you
Pour petrol on you and then on me But then i walk down the stairs And killing joke waits for me there Then we play - go psycho With sticks and stones and bones beneath our homes we face ourselves Hosannas rising from the basements of hell Anger that poisons my heart Eating your liver and heart Like voodoo just play until you bleed Lost in the noise i am free I'm not a murderer yet I'm not a murderer yet With sticks and stones and bones beneath our homes we face ourselves Hosannas rising from the basements of hell I'm not a murderer yet I'm not a murderer yet I'm not a murderer yet I'm not a murderer yet 03. Invocation
Hearts of darkness and hate
O evil, oblivion your fate O betrayers i come a war without end My enemy's enemy is my friend Mankind becomes the whore Temples are empty - no law False religions shall rise Flags of scarlet shall fly O destroyer of world Babylon 04. Implosion
We come into this life in blood and tears
We leave this life in blood and tears Paranoia deepest darkest fears How beautiful the life - Yes The highs and lows of every day Laughter and screams won't go away But the total experience of it all Blows me away Implosion Mother lover child of wife Taken from us in this life My griefs is yours and yours is mine But o the gift of life is o so fine - Yes The highs and lows of every day Laughter and screams won't go away But the total experience of it all Blows me away Blows me away Blows me away Implosion Truth begins to dawn, a smile across my face Realization in a total state of grace The mines of solomon we left behind, We left behind the evils of the west Rites of light and ceremonies bright Playing this great game of life and death - Yes The highs and lows of every day Laughter and screams won't go away But the total experience of it all Blows me away Blows me away Blows me away 05. Majestic
Initiate wakey - wakey!
Accelerated eco - meltdown, no-one gives a damn Keep everyone in debt while the big banks own their land Orwellian, Machiavellian, Hegelian dialectic World management has come, and it's to be expected You cannot tell the people (But some of us have guessed it) Every day is a blessing, i feel the best yet Majestic yes i feel fantastic War of the worlds again, a necessary lie Psychological operations show they were right Religious institutions and the general status quo Economy and infrastructure - all of it will go You cannot tell the people (But some of us have guessed it) Every day is a blessing, i feel the best yet Majestic yes i feel fantastic Black triangles flashing red white and blue Aliens (or disinformation) yes it is true Contacts been established with critters from the stars The surface of the earth will soon resemble mars You cannot tell the people (But some of us have guessed it) Every day is a blessing, i feel the best yet Majestic yes i feel fantastic Just like magick Yes i feel fantastic 06.

Lightbringer
The rebellious spirit in you and me
The Lightbringer Which intelligence gave geometry, binary system, complex cycles of astronomy? number, proportion, measurement,light, angle,mathematics all appeared overnight! Darwin's evolved chimpanzee - lies Designed and built the pyramids honestly - lies You're asking me to wager my soul - lies On that which i doubt the most - lies That the Virgin Mary was impregnated by the ghost - more lies The rebellious spirit in you and me The Lightbringer Who could cut with laser precision make perfect incision into the hardest rock? Who could lift one block of stone that weights for jumbo jets? Yes your intuition will tell you best Darwin's evolved chimpanzee - lies Designed and built the pyramids honestly - lies You're asking me to wager my soul - lies On that which i doubt the most - lies That the Virgin Mary was impregnated by the ghost - more lies Liberator o enlightener - come The rebellious spirit in you and me The Lightbringer Who is the symbol of the serpent snake? Who gave us knowledge of medicine? Who knew precisely the earth diameter? Who modified our bestial character? Darwin's evolved chimpanzee - lies Designed and built the pyramids honestly - lies You're asking me to wager my soul - lies On that which i doubt the most - lies That the Virgin Mary was impregnated by the ghost - more lies Civilizer initiator liberator o enlightener - come 08. Judas Goat
See the sleeping figures holding up the clock in Prague's old town square,
Blank faces of rock the wander and they follow guides - as they call then the clock starts chiming it is my wake up call A rich man's war in poor man's blood Silent their cries, the lost and loved Led to the slaughter, led by false hope Follow behind the judas goat Parasitic humans losing all (i feel) All that we believed was true All i thought was real cheated then set up by those we trusted most Bitter were the drinks of party on the host A rich man's war in poor man's blood Silent their cries, the lost and loved Led to the slaughter, led by false hope Follow behind the judas goat Follow behind the judas goat 09. Gratitude
Let me tell you about the hearts of my people
Let me tell you of the meanings of our tribe A dream unspoken, a promised kept the secret comes alive For all the years i've watched your back and you've watched mine We always knew the clouds would part and a golden dawn will shine And when you find yourself alont the untrodden path Remember me with a smile, and drink, a gesture or a laugh Gratitude You look at me but i've been looking at you We only were a mirror to show what you could do O innovator, o enlightened scolar play and write Rewrite the old books, rennaisance perform new rites of light And when you find yourself alont the untrodden path Remember me with a smile, and drink, a gesture or a laugh Gratitude The wise will redefine paradise Farmer and the visionary, a village - simple lives Adapting to strange seasons in certain remote regions Where no-one has exemption from total redemption And when you find yourself alont the untrodden path Remember me with a smile, a drink, a gesture or a laugh And a toast for the man who loves every hour of every day And a feast for the friends and faces met along way Gratitude |
