1. POLE SHIFT

It doesn't really matter is the south turns north
Or the stars above stop their course
If then thousand coastal cities are taken by the wave, or not
The outcomes are still the same (for all of us now!)
Riddles in stone - great cycles of time
Forgotten, ignore - the ancient paradigm
A polarization of values happening
Opposing camps define themselves and pull apart

Night turns to day, darkness to light
A doorway opens to quantum sight
A world age shift, a converging sun
A field of energy reversal has begun
Suddenly it hit! - Pole shift

Now the pendulum has swung the other way
Pulling us out of our ingrained habits
The death of the old world
Slashing open the womb that held us all
So comfortably for so long
Calling on all of us to restore the biosphere
Towards a partnership of co-creation
In a relationship of resonance
Hand in hand we march into the unknown

Where the taboos of today are tomorrow's delights
Our values - inverted (so wrong it's right)
Sex morality imposition - all swept away
In one great orgasm - by the light of day
Suddenly it hit! - Pole shift

Communion with the stars - decode our DNA
Marvel at the mysteries of quantum immortality
Children of Elias - come!
Into a fifth world and a sixth sun
Yes, into a fifth world and a sixth sun
Suddenly it hit! - Pole shift


2. FEMA CAMP

It's a time of unrest and your rights are suspended
There's a list going round (and it's likely you are on it)
The names on the blue list are picked up later
And the red list goes to the incinerator

We're never going to end up in the furnace of a FEMA camp
Burning in the furnace, furnace of a FEMA camp
Fema camp

There's an Amtrak rail leading to the siding
Where a turnstile waits for all those disembarking
Blue zone, red zone - humanity fades
So I'm going to join up with the renegades

We're never going to end up in the furnace of a FEMA camp
Burning in the furnace, furnace of a FEMA camp
Fema camp

We're never going to end up in the furnace of a FEMA camp
Burning in the furnace, furnace of a FEMA camp
Fema camp
Fema camp


3. RAPTURE

Nothing is real - all is illusion
Escape from the flesh - transcend the earthly
With fire and chant - purification
Between the worlds is a this sate of grace - called Rapture

Revitalize - to the ecstatic
Re-energize - recharge batteries
Liberation's of incarnations
Liberate with spasms, convulsions

Rapture

Free me from all materialism
Let every breath and act have meaning
Leap Icarus! (O great grain of sand) with certainty - into the abyss

Rapture


4. COLONY COLLAPSE

Rabid inhuman advance of nano computer technologies
Changing our emotional development
For the lure of immortality
And a virus counts as life in a posthuman dream
The future doesn't need us
Beloved Mother intervene

Colony Collapse

A rupture in the fabric of human history
self assembling nanobots and human fallability
Misprogrammed to replicate us
A grey goo of nano sea

Colony Collapse


5. CORPORATE ELECT

Grand Masters pulling strings
Wet dream of a new world order
New feudal blueprints rise
We all got fooled again

It's an ADD Generation
Everyone accepts the re-introduction of slavery
By a corporate elect

Tyrant of mine, dominion of our lives
Condemned to Solomon's mine
We all got fooled again

This is the fight back now
Free speech put to the test by immoral psychopaths
We all got fooled again


6. IN CYTHERA

Saw, all those things,
I should have said,
While I had the time.
You, who stood by me,
When I lost the plot,
You were always kind.

All, through these mortal joys,
Through my anger,
And endless rain.
And during, my addictions,
Yet the love you showed,
Still remained the same.

I'm grateful,
For all the times we've shared.
Through struggles, and madness,
You're there.

If, I don't return,
Before your time is up,
I promise, to set your place,
On a table, the one I throw your cup.

And to, ourselves we lie,
As we, break down inside,
Cause we never, said enough,
How much we really loved.

I'm grateful,
For all the times we've shared.
Through struggles, and madness,
You're there.

I've seen you, in a dream,
On a sunny day, where the skies are clear.
I'll see you, in Cythera,
On an island, far away from here.

I'm grateful,
For all the times we've shared.
Through struggles, and madness,
You're there.


7. PRIMOBILE

Songs of joy & sorrow echo expressions of unity
Rejoice in precious moments - chants & noises of purity
Seperated from each other yet bounded by time as one
Past hurts forgiven now we recognise what's done is done

Beyond the veil in dreams we fly,
To soar again and then to die
Weeping at disaster
Choirs of endless tear
Holy is the laughter that overcomes all your fears

And did we overcome the shadow - confront the inner rage?
Will all our deeds be sung of - remembered with loving praise?
And did we fight with courage and make the world a better place?
And will we till the soil of and planted the forrest for the human race?


8. GLITCH

Glitch, get ready for the glitch

Cities on blackout
Satellites are knocked out
I-phones, laptops, it's one big belly flop
Servers, TV, alarms and security
And everything's gone in seconds

Cars are all crashing, planes are all grounded
Everyone knows it's over
Borders on lock down, everything's on shut down, Everyone knows it's over

The solar storms have come and chaos rules outside
The freezer's broke, the food is off, the GPS has died

Communications have all gone down and the world is flying blind
Everyone's at boiling point (and no-one's got the ice)

Glitch, get ready for the glitch

Where's my light, my water, my flight across the pond?
Where's my summer holiday - what the hell's gone wrong?
The economy is doomed, infrastructure ruined
Everyone knows it's over
It's an aberration, they're working on the back-up
Everyone knows it's over
It's an aberration, it's just a minor hiccup
But everyone know it's over

The solar storms have come and chaos rules outside
The freezer's broke, the food is off, the GPS has died

Communications have all gone down and the world is flying blind
Everyone's at boiling point (and no-one's got the ice)

Glitch, get ready for the glitch

Cities on blackout
Satellites are knocked out
I-phones, laptops, it's one big belly flop
Servers, TV, alarms and security
And everything's gone in seconds

Cars are all crashing, planes are all grounded
Everyone knows it's over
Borders on lock down, everything's on shut down
Everyone knows it's over

The solar storms have come and chaos rules outside
The freezer's broke, the food is off, the GPS has died

Communications have all gone down and the world is flying blind
Everyone's at boiling point (and no-one's got the ice)

Glitch

The solar storms have come and chaos rules outside
The freezer's broke, the food is off, the GPS has died

Communications have all gone down and the world is flying blind
Everyone's at boiling point (and no-one's got the ice)

9. TRANCE

Recognition, anamnesis, deja vu, oblique psychosis
Familiar faces, signs & sigils - crossing points, magnetic fields
Music based on cyclic collapse - calendars that mark the moon
Nocturnal emissions wax - transmissions from the Vortex room

Trance (in the fields of light)
In a trance (in the fields of light)

Wonder and amazement at the synchronized coincidence
Binding us through all the decades - predetermined providence
Souls fed by a cosmic fire
Earthly delights - all things of sense gather at this crossing point
(I'm overcome with reverence)

Trance (in the fields of light)
In a trance (in the fields of light)

Implanted upon this planet (starseed was our genesis)
Pyramids & obelisks unconsciously reminding us
Sky beings & balls of light
Myth & legend learned anew
Geometrical creation hidden from the common view

Trance (in the fields of light)
In a trance (in the fields of light)

Trance (in the fields of light)
In a trance (in the fields of light)


10. ON ALL HALLOW'S EVE

At last the dark years of grieving come to an end.
Old haunts and habits invoking loved ones and friends.
The graveyards forgotten, the churches are empty now.
I recall the times past and how much I miss you all.

Wake up! Reborn! Join in and celebrate!
Make noise! Wake up the great dead with reverence.
On all hallow's eve.

Endless drumming; rituals to wake up the dead.
Bring gifts and spirits, good wine- just cheese and some bread.
Incense of cigars and spices, pleasures we shared.
Light up the graveyards to show how much we all care.

Wake up! Reborn! Join in and celebrate!
Make noise! Wake up the great dead with reverence.
On all hallow's eve.
