| Great Hosannah | |
|
If we stand here together
And we see the world as one
We may think there's no future
But it's the same for everyone
It's like the world has lost its head
And it's like all the prophets said
But will we arise to a new world
If we stand here together
We can laugh at what we've done
All out time has been wasted
And there's nowhere left to run
There may be trouble up ahead
Will we be sleeping in out beds
Or will we arise to a new world
Look for signs and portents
I'm looking for a reason to believe
Will we arise in our time
At the dawn of another meaning
Will we awake at the break of a great hosannah
Well if there's nothing left to do
Just hold your breath and hope it's true
That we'll arise

| Mystical Machine Gun | |
|
Alien identities don't hide your pretty face from me,
You awoke to the riddle of your life but no-one was there for you,
Open to where you first began as a nicotine junkie, singing for a kodacam,
Are you glad to see how far you've come?
You're a wizard in a blizzard,
A mystical machine gun!
Watch the skies,
For the mystical machine gunfire.
Alien identities don't hide that special place from me,
You walked through a fire with a ten headed lion and turned on your destiny,
Open up, forget your life,
Breathe in, breathe out, retain a sense of suicide,
Are you glad to see how far you've come?
You're a wizard in a blizzard,
A mystical machine gun!
Watch the skies,
For the mystical machine gunfire.
Well you've got to be stronger now than them,
Now you've got to be strong
You'll be singing the song of life 'til then,
You'll just have to be strong.

Blood transfusion, revolution,
Satellites on Mars,
Man became the spawn of Satan,
Driving round in cars.
I read the news but the news didn't fascinate,
I stayed at home, watched the media ejaculate.
This is the age of decay and hipocrisy,
Sometimes I feel like the world isn't ready for me.
Every time I turn a microscopic worm is telling me he's it,
Dressed in robes of cosmic ego, crawling around in shit.
I read the news but the news didn't fascinate,
I stayed at home, watched the media ejaculate.
This is the age of decay and hipocrisy,
Sometimes I feel like the world isn't ready for me.

| I'm Still Here | |
|
I was sure I heard you singing
While my head was broken up
While my world in flames
Was rearranged
I'm still here
In a blazing forest fire
In a web of my own desires
In a place that we are destined to return
On an ocean I can't fathom
In a truth I can't unravel
I'm still here
I'm still here

| Shower Your Love | |
|
Shower your love on me
Don't make it so hard to cry
Shower your love on me
You dont need a reason why
'Cos I'm not even half the way there
But I'm just too stupid to care
So help me now
When i've fallen through
There are scenes in my open mind
Confusion and flashing lights
Shower your love on me
Cos nothing here feels right
Cos I'm not even half the way there
But I'm just too stupid to care
So help me now
When I've done all I can do
Shower Your love on me
I can't wait, I'm losing faith
Like we might just explode
Comfort me with a melody
Show me that I'm gonna know the answer
Show me that I'm gonna know
Shower Your Love on me
Don't make it so hard to cry
Shower your love on me
You don't need a reason why
Don't make it so hard to cry
Shower your love on me
Shower your love on me

| 108 Battles (Of the Mind) | |
|
There's something on my mind but I don't want to talk about it,
I'm saying my goodbyes, though we haven't begun to party
Oh baby, it's all a catastrophe,
Oh lover, it's not how it used to be,
I'm just a man who's battling with his mind.
One hundred and eight battles within the...
Minds forever changing what you began,
Life's a waste of time,
Minds forever changing what you began,
Battle with your mind.
There's magic in my eyes but I don't want to look into it,
There's thunder in the skies and I'm frightened of what it's doing.
Oh baby, it's all a catastrophe,
Oh lover, it's not how it used to be,
I'm just a man who's battling with his mind.
One hundred and eight battles within the...
Minds forever changing what you began,
Life's a waste of time,
Minds forever changing what you began,
Battle with your mind.

| Sound of Drums | |
|
I hear the sound of drums on a melody
I hear the sound of drums
Well, singing the names above in the city
Yeah, revolution for fun
I feel the time has come like a remody
I feel the time has come
We're shaking the spear of love in the city
Yeah, I hear the sound of drums
Yeah, can you feel the love for me, yeah yeah
I feel the time has come
I hear the sound of drums
I hear the sound of drums on a melody,
Calling me to return
Well, I laugh and catch the sun
'cause it's gonna be revolution for fun
Yeah, can you feel the love for me, yeah yeah
I feel the time has come
I hear the sound of drums..oh oohh...
Well, I feel the time has come with the melody
I see the golden one
Well, I'm not the only one with the remedy
I'm not the only one
I feel the time has come
I hear the sound of drums

Oh brother please
We are born to this world again
How can we see
When we;re travelling in time
Love is the key
And the key is the name my friend
When will we see that we're
Travelling in time
Know that your soul
Is on fire
Like a million suns
Burn like a star
And be travelling in time

| Last Farewell | |
|
If We Stand Here Together
We May Say Our Last Farewell
To The Lives Of Illusion
And the Time We Spent in Hell
Will We Arise In Our Time
At The Dawn Of Another Meaning
And A Great Hossanah
The Great Hossanah
The Great Hossanah
The Great Hossanah

| Golden Avatar | |
|
Well I called you the keeper of my heart
'Cos i felt that you'd been waiting there
From the start, From the start yeah
Well you said "Do you remember who you are?
Did you know you feel from heaven like a star?'
Would we like to be that way again?
Born beside a holy river
Farkened moon eclipsed the future
Your name is gold forever
Your name is gold forever
Well they call you the folden avatar
But nobody really knows you as you are
And we'd like to see you shine
Yeah we'd liek to see you shine
I can see by the light that you shine on me
If I could surrender tomorrow
But the flames of fire inviting me
Are sending me further and further away
Futher and further and further
And further away
