1. THE TRIBAL ANTIDOTE

Lift up your spirits
Too much pain and suffering, crying
Too many 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
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
This tribal antidote my choice
Come to the great assembly, revelry, rejoice, rejoice, rejoice


2. HOSANNAS FROM THE BASEMENTS 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


3. 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


4. 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


5. 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 magic
Yes I feel fantastic


6. WALKING WITH GODS

Fight by day, fuck by night prepare to die at anytime
Enemy smash me down i still come back for more each round
Salvation's not just a pill to escape but your skill fight on fight on until death intervenes
Against all odds overcome all logic, reason walking with gods,feeling high,
'cause I've entered Eden
Tribal mentality, our reality not held back by hypocrites’ morality
Don't underestimate our resolve each and every dog has his day
Salvation's not just a pill to escape but your skill fight on fight on until death intervenes
Against all odds overcome all logic, reason walking with gods,feeling high,
'cause I've entered Eden
Just other push yourself your limit of human endurance
Outnumbered we are few tasted blood now come for you the hour,
You the place, you our destiny we embrace
Salvation's not just a pill to escape but your skill fight on fight on until death intervenes
Against all odds overcome all logic, reason walking with gods,feeling high,
'cause I've entered Eden
Against all odds overcome all logic, reason walking with gods,feeling high,
'cause I've entered Eden


7. THE 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


8. 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
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


9. 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 along 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 along 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 along 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
