Chinese Whispers +++++++++++++++++++ Speaking my mind Single trail of thought Difference in the way we perceive Your ability to receive I know you listen, faults lie between us. You hear my speaking, something changes my words. Chorus Hordes of inconsistencies and fiction swarm the paths of your thoughts. Your interpretation of my actions, convenient to your cause. I'll say again another way. Splintered slithers of truth, rumored tales, my proof. Tolerance prevents and outcome. Repeat Chorus Words a mouldable form of matter, interpretation, your point is shattered, lies a manifestation of truth changes arise because of a difference, Words a mouldable form of matter, interpretation, your point is shattered, lies a manifestation of truth Don't accuse me because of a difference I know you hear my words, But somehow there's faults that lie between us. Speaking my mind Single trail of thought I know you're listening But some faults lie between us, I know you hear my words. Repeat Chorus 2. Road to Ubar +++++++++++++++ ***Note: some of the lyrics are blacked out in the booklet, so i'll try my best to figure them out for myself*** The commands of an ancient sultan whispers through the sandstorm wind of time. Calling across the centuries A lost ghost city of the mind. Far beyond the valley of the kings, lies buried deep within the sand. A city of decadence (?) and greed, that's why the gods condemned the land, Furthest reaches recorded time, lay Ubar city of lust and greed reading the chiselled inscriptions. A funerery temple. Osrisis tributes to the gods The sultan of (?) Denied the (?) of this land Decipher the heiroglyphics City overcome by lust Ancient (?) Angered by the king of sin Let the holocaust begin This was the city of Ubar Watch our modern life return to ancient ways. We're on the road to Ubar 3. Staying Consious +++++++++++++++++++ When the first single cells Felt the first rays of light Carbon beings in process. Leading to life that we have today. A billion years later, technology springs, exploding progress pushes is forward, but exploding progress is tearing us down. What is fiction is fact, there is no blame for conditioning, Reality's created by ourselves, we're to blame for our problems. Cells of our shells, merge with the earth. Becoming seperatly involved, composting, transgresing, in order to embrace life and death, we must eliminate the boundries that lie between the physical and the spiritual. Symbiosis a two way process, people read their lives and then create their psychosis. Staying consious requires effort, evolution re-awakes the primal subconsious. Aware - Awake - Alert Know or felt by ones inner being. Flow and slower observer and observed, a wave, invinite ocean life and death in cyclic motion. You are a human being You have an ego and mind It's a useful part of you but it's not you 4. Beyond Genesis +++++++++++++++++ The past is open, but the future still hides. Natural selection, the strongest will survive. Planatery process of eveloutionary change. Natures chosen aspects from hereditary range. Repeat twice Perspectives of truth, Artificial selection, Rather than supernatural intervention Could life possibly be as simple as your revelation because we have evolved there is no myth of creation. We may have been created But not from two single beings Eternal genetic process of mutating genes. Random shuffle Random mutation 5. Spiritechnology (intro with dude talking) We offer you the key to your spirituality, the answer that links us to our eternity, the difference that lie between yourself and all you see. But this does not convince you, you lust technology. Unite the earth Our gods have failed us, All along it was a farce an all along you knew, but refused the help of visitors, a concept that would boom higher intelligence Was kept a secret from us for a minorites profites. But praising god won't save the world only praise of human kind (Echo) You close your eyes and place demise. On this forgotten entity. Fabricated stories, to protect your former glories. A time is soon at hand, the covered hall be revealed exposing your whole lifestyle as nothing but a lie. Galactic intervention Dimension intervention (repeat) Progress your spiritechnology (repeat) 6. Inertia (instrumental) 7. Hermaphroditis (lyrics yet no available) 8.
