Galleon : From Land to Ocean

CD1 :
1. THREE COLOURS
Welcome to this land
And union we all call The European Community
Welcome to this world
The world of open trade and global networks for you and me
And then we raise the walls to
Keep us safe and within
We are here we here to make the choice
Of the future we want to live
They are there knockin on our doors
To freedom and to opinions that are free
But we close the doors to
Keep us safe and within
And then we raise the walls.....
The market wants increase in economy
And the fishermen claims their share
The farmer protests for more benefits
And the drivers strike for a raise
The industry wants to move to east
Where lower wages is a bliss
The much wants more mentality
Is the ultimate predominant dream
It´s the same old song
The values we spoke of solidarity
Is now words from a forgotten past
Just mind your own egoistic vanity
In your soap tv false reality
Everyone got an opinion to state
In debates in every media form
What we really need
Is translate words in to deeds
We have heard it all before
Still the same old song
In the 40:s we faught the great war
Young men lost their lives and souls
For our conviction of a better world
And to chrush the evil hordes
The dark side was spreading their beliefs
Of hatred and utopian dreams
Dissidents and coloured had no room
A perfect world for a few
We put up the flag on the deadly shore
And we faught
We faught our way through the blood and dirt
To be free
We climbed the omaha beach
It was a bloody way we had to reach
To free the occupied turf
To give democrasy a fresh new birth
When we came back from the war
We set out some grand new goals
To unite the eurolands
And together we all should stand
We put up the flag on this virgin land
And we took
The first steps of freedom on this friendly shore
No more war
No war
No war....
2. FALL OF FAME
Roll up everybody for a trip to fame
It might be the only way to get yourself a name
Bring the wind to your sails let us fulfill your dream
And the onlything you lose is your self esteem...
We produce reality a kind that no one´s seen
Were we mess up your life on the tv screen
It´s our duty to provide the beauty of disgrace
Presented by the media it´s all what people praise...
You´re a one day wonder wannabe
Out of talent and out of skill
When you reveal your face to the public eye
Is when you go in for the kill
And you´ll become a star
We´ve seen big brothers come and go survivors beaten blue
Bachelors have met the folks and couples tempted too
The world is not for real unless projected through a lens
So come on join the game and let the world commence
You´ll be placed in a cave in some desert land
You´ll be trained to conquer to be the killing hand
Trains and buses,aeroplanes will be your set of arms
And for the grand finale you´ll cast explosive charms..
You´re a one day wonder wannabe
Out of talent and out of skill
When you reveal your face to the public eye
Is when you go in for the kill
And you´ll become a star
Downtown at the crowded mall
Is when you finally appear
All dressed up in dynamite
As an assassin volunteer
That´s gonna be a star
You´re gonna be a star
There you are
A little shining star
I can see you now
Fading quickly out of view
You´re so discreet
You twinkle without heat
No matter how you try
You really can´t attract my eye
And the space is cold
Before you know you´re grown too old.
3. THE PORCH
Sitting out here alone an autumn day
Thinking about the news on the tv
Load voices roame of terror and the wars
And how the world´s gonna be
If you play big brother and boss around it bites back
As you sow so shall you reap
While i sit here on the porch
Seeing the madness whatching the world go round
But still full of hope as the sun goes down
We´re unsignificant piece of matter in this space
Big men with meeetings around the globe
Signing papers with fancy words
Their documents and speeches carry cynic tunes
Like the sound from this crazy guitar
If you play big brother and boss around it bites back
As you sow so shall you reap
While i sit here on the porch
Greed comes first
Starvation and thirst
Power freaks
Protest marches
City battlefields
Covered faces
The enemy within
Can we come to terms
That we´re not important in this space
Can we understand the power we have
Are we going to annihilation like before
Or are we going to make it this time
A small reflection here from the porch
4. LIOPLEURODON (instrumental)
5. LAND
I was told a story once
of a land and people with strange minds
They belived they were the consious of their world
Allways knew wrong from right
Small on their earth but big in their words
We can think for you all we are in control
And when the day of election arrives
The politicians speak with serpent tongues
All the parties speak the same vows
Then breaks them but don´t feel ashamed
And they feed the peoples lies with a smile
They are cold and cynic minds
Small on their earth but big in their words
We know whats best
And you would hardly protest
The entertainment business in this land
As strang as the natives themselves
Talkes about a multifold world
Serves stupidity the burger chain way
Small on their earth but big in their words
We can think for you all we are in control
They feed a puppet show
A tradition with a man they called king
Doesen´t benefit the system at all
Just a relic a consuming thing
And they fawn for a house with no power and control
A ridiculous fuzz a modern sideshow
Small on their earth but big in their words
An appendix from the past
Out of date
6. THE PRICE
Twenty first centry science progress working fast
We finally solved all genecodes
The nobleprize grand finale
We passed the magic crossroad
We can cure every disease
Stop all human suffering
Heaven sent technology
But something started to happen
The animals looked in our eyes
What a hell
We didn´t see the side effects
Blinded by success
And they covered up the animal tests
Hide the scary facts
The animals raised a mutiny
Took control of the gene
Produced the magic substance
The first steps to be free
Something started to happen
The animals looked in our eyes
The surprised look of knowledge
The look of despise
We couldn´t stop the floodwave
They took us by surprise
Ready to get even
And ready to fight
With a bloody rage
And superior minds
This is the price
For all the lies
They got a secret network
building a technical force
A plan enslave the human race
And set out a new course
Something started to happen
The animals looked in our eyes
The surprised look of knowledge
The look of despise
After the war
Half of the population was gone
The deadliest battle of all
And we were the deinite loosers this time
We became slaves
And food under new goverment rules
Just obey
And crawl for the new masters of the world
Then they started their plan
They put us in factories never seen before
And built new machines
Created by alien technology
A cloning device
For all the predators food supplies
And super ships
For exploitation of other worlds
They want to send us away
In to space
Banish us from earth
Our place of birth
We can never come back
To the place we call home
We will forever be
Refugees and alone
So the day arrived
They gave us a hard and short trial
The ships blasted away
We saw our planet shrink before our eyes
Destination mars
Prepared for us with machines and mines
So goodbye
Embrace the bitter end my friends
They sent us away
In to space
Banished us from earth
Our place of birth
To the planet mars
A place so cold and harsh
We were condemned to be their slaves
For all eternity
So wave goodbye..........
CD 2 :
THE OCEAN
- Beginning
Winds and rain still no life in sight
Just a bleak light of creations first sigh
But when it starts it never stops
Just different paths on the brushy way from start
Extinction
Evolution
Life will find a way
It started small in muddy bottom holes
But soon the dinos come to roame it all
Some million years of full control
Before it ended with a blow
But life is strong it provails just every time
Just new directions on the tree of here and gone
Devestation or Destruction
Life will find a way
But how long will this go on
The cyclic motion of life
Forever or what
Five times it stopped with chaos and with death
Each time the process found new ways to erect
But this time it started up again
It took a fatal turn
And then came the man to begin the human plan
Develop and to take evolutions big mistake
- And On...
The primitive man fished with hooks made of bones
Not plenty they could get
The modern man fish with gear
Bringing surplus and a wholesale net
The primitive man got a catch for a few
Not overfishing the big old blue
The modern man rakes the waters
Leaving little for the next me and you
The primitive man filled his belly
The modern fills the account
And when the working day is thru
The market claims it´s dues
More
more
The primitive man couldn´t see down below
Just dreaming of a world to be explored
The modern man has equipment
Leaving nothing to be unfold
They fantasized of a manifold world
And creatures never seen
But today if you ´re lucky
You ´ll find shreds or everythings green
The primitive man filled his belly
The modern fills the account
And when the working day is thru
The market claims it ´s dues
More
more
Much wants more
The devil wants souls
Much more
- Tsunami (Instrumental)
- International
The consumer friendly society
Grows fast and it grows with greed
East wants to be like west
To be rich and runned by the market man
Capitalism.... Bleeding business
Stock exchange.... Utopia
Democrasy.... Hypocrisy
Multinational trading.... Our saviour
- Killer Green
Green
The colour of a puttin green
It´s spreading like a disease
And it´s made for the human need
A little experiment
With genes and DNA
A tropical algea
Invades and it will stay
Growing twice as fast
As the original life on the seafloor
Smothering all other plants
Leaving nothing for the rest to feed upon
Some said it´s the natural way
For nature and evolution
But bringing a mutated plant
Can´t be the right solution
Doesn´t scientists understand
That they can´t run around acting goods
This is a fragile world
So don´t fuck around with the odds
- Bermuda
Into the mystic deep of the atlantic ocean
Lots of ships and aeroplanes has vanished into thin air
Scientists and ufofreaks are fighting about the notion
The triangle theory is still waiting to be revealed
Facts and fairytales
Inner space unexplored
Strange vapors,time warps,fogs and wormholes
Electromagnetism and methane gas
A lot of speculation about this area in the sea
A lot of mystery to thrill you and me
Facts and fairytales
Inner space unsolved
Bermuda obscure lights
Keeps it´s secrets very tight
It will take you for a ride
Between dreams and reality
Maybe connected to other dimensions
Or is it here atlantis comes around
Facts and fairytales
Inner space unexplored
Bermuda obscure lights
Keeps it´s secrets very tight
It will take you for a ride
Between dreams and reality
- Atlantis
Into atlantis and the antediluvian world
With platos and with other words
A superculture from long ago
The golden island every man wants to behold
Many theories many fantasies
A society in perfect harmony
Celebrated for it´s virtue and for it´s beauty
With wealth for every man
Dreamland for the common man
A higher moral plan
Uniting gentleness with wisdom
Utopin words in the modern world
Where hatred and greed makes it work
On the verge to mythology
And we are going to the books of history
- Polar White pt1
In to the polar night
And in to the polar white
Many brave men
Had to defy these vast plains
With dreams and hopes
To reach the poles
And put up the nation flag
Was the ultimate goal
They sailed in to the ice
With spirits high and fearless minds
Sometimes snowbound
Sometimes snowblind
Never giving up the fight against the elements
True heroes of our time
Starvation and scurvy
And starlit nights
Roaring frozen winds
And crevasses in the ice
No hope no glory
During endless days of work
Fatigue and gangrene
Allways there allways lurks
They sailed in to the ice
With spirits high and fearless minds
Sometimes snowbound
Sometimes snowblind
Never giving up the fight against the elements
True heroes of our time
- The Abyss (Instrumental)
- Polar White pt2
Arctic explorers like Peary and Scott
Amundsen,Shackleton and Andreé achived a lot
To conquer the frozen world
They had to try something new
Except from sledges and dogs
Even airships,planes and ballons
So many ways
To get lost and be forced to stay
Month in the packice
Month in the snow
Cold winds bites the face
And just nowhere to go
White wastelands takes it´s toll
Isolation brings a phsycic load to pull
So many ways
To get lost and be forced to stay
They sailed in to the ice
With spirits high and fearless minds
Sometimes snowbound
Sometimes snowblind
Never giving up the fight against the elements
True heroes of our time
- Blood Waters
It´s blood in the waters it´s blood on our hands
The human predator kills to satiesfy the demands
We want to have our share out of the blue well
But the assets are limited and thats are the wellknown facts
Can we ever bring some sence in this money making turbulence
Red currents
Red sea
They cut of the fins from sharks and leave them to drown
They should cut the hands of greed and just leave them stunned
Coralreef fishermen unaware of the facts
That their poisoness little trade brings more damage than prey
Can we ever build a defence against ravenous opulence
Cold currents
Empty sea
And on the polar ice they hunt the old fashion way
Driving the metal pikes through the seal cub brain
The tuna industry got dolphins by mistake
But treated them just like some kind of waste
Can we ever bring some sence in this money making turbulence
Red currents
Red sea
- In to the Deep (Instrumental)
- Blue Richness
Welcome to blue richness blue richness welcomes you
We´re glad to serve the best of what the ocean brings
The seafood special menu veraity you´ve never seen
You can take much more much more than you ever need
Guaranteed neverending we can experiment with genes
The quality is perfect and so are the industry
Overestimated belif in blue richness bickering about the conferments
Everyone claims the right to take their shares
Even when the hauls gets smaller and fish loose size and weight
They see no end of their business just leave us be
Guaranteed neverending we can experiment with genes
The quality is perfect and so are the industry
Extirpation - Never mentioned
Irritation - Allways tension
No solutions - No conclusions
It´s our right so just leave us be
No solutions - No conclusions
It´s our right so leave us be
- Black Sea
In to the dark and cold black waters
The story of fright and the submarine matters
Mr A was chasing the imperial fleet
He´s wolfpacks sank the convoys so discreet
Then came the post war red exaggerated dread
When every movement seemed as a possible threat
East and west got caught in a deadly game
Chasing each other like mouses in a great maze
With nuclear missiles outside every coast
On the edge of war the cuban deadly shore so close
So close
Communist fear everyone sees and hears
Pointing you out there´s no doubt
Infidel better show and tell
Lie and deny your past
And veer with every with wind
- Tidal Wave (Instrumental)
- Undertow
We have sailed the seas for thousands of years
But still don´t know all
With unsinkable ships and new inventional grips
We still come out small
In this technical world so much more to learn
Natures forces are cruel it´s easy to loose
We extract gas and oil we sweat and we toil
To fulfill our dreams
For a comfortable life we seek and we strive
To satiesfy our belif
That this monetary chase
Gonna save our day
One third preach the god of greed
And two thirds still bleeds
- Swirl (Instrumental)
- On The North Shore pt 4
Walking here on the north shore
In this warm summer breeze
Reflecting upon these careless things
We´ve done all this industral years
We take everthing for granted
Beliving that all will be fine
But if we walk around blindfolded
We gonna get a scary surprise
- Paradise Or What
Is the oilfields inexhaustible no
And our freshwater an endless source
Do we solve all things with modified genes
And feed us with animal clones
Do we trust the nuclear power
That heats all our homes
Is technology reliable
To keep us snug and warm
We drain the oceans resources
We dump our waste in the sea
We test our nuclear weapons
On fragile coral reefs
We introduce new species
In places never seen
If nothings done we loose all we won
From here to eternity
