Lyrics:

1). Singata Mystic Queen

Have you seen my queen, she´s a divine child
And have you seen her ways, how they´re driving me wild

When she dances like a lion, setting the treetops on fire
May her eyes never tell me no lies, because I love her

2). Army of Ignorance

Instrumental

3). For the Lost Souls

Look at your life my father, what have you done
In sixty years of living in shame and steady being on the run
And what you tell your sons and daughters, what do you fear
Yeah who will hear your prayer when the end is near

They´re calling you a sinner since the day you´re born and wrote it in your mind
But still you’ve got a chance to turn or live a lie

So what about you mother, why were you weeping every night
Thought it kept you on the tracks, always been by your side
Say, what were the things that you’ve been dreaming of
Where could you have been without the celestial one

They´re calling you a sinner…

Entering this holy house
Feel safe from the one below
But are you really pure in the eyes of your god
Or is it just another show
Let me read in your eyes
And see the bottom of your soul

You’ve never been a sinner, surely you´re not the only one
The world it won´t be shaking and burning on that day when you´re gone
You´ll never see the things that you’ve been dreaming of
As long as you are bound to all these empty words

They´re calling you a sinner…

4). Center of the Sun

A dazing gloom has set upon us
But these evil seeds have been spread a long time ago
Guess the sun won´t shine no more
For all the years they shed their acid rain on me
And they pour all their hate on me, pour all their hate on me

The final doom has come to stay, I’ve seen its shadows rise and shine

Heading off to the center of the sun
Diving into the big black depths of our universe
Need to get rid of this miserable life we live
There´ll surely be some better days ahead for us

Have to leave before my heart is bleeding out
Can´t wait much ´cause it won´t take long
And maybe I´m not the only who feels this way
So come on now let´s get it on
Gotta be free as long as I´m breathing
Have to leave and find a new home
Gotta hurry now and find that better place up there
Right inside the center of the sun

Gonna make this way beyond the horizon
Setting controls for my time-machine
And they´ll never know what I´m feeling
Never see what I have seen

Have to leave before my heart is bleeding out…

Life is just a dream they say, while my life is just a dream away
I heard ´em howling deep down in their black holes
Said their fate was sealed and written in stone
While my lifeline shines in its own bold tenderness
And mushroom clouds are shifting by
Their lifeless shouts mislead the eye
And leave me in distraction

5). Wheel of Life

Instrumental

6). Double Freedom

My life´s floating down into this cosmic sea
I’ve been blinded by the sun and the stars that shined for me
I never made it right, when distorted thoughts were pushing me
I’ve been a rambling mind, always sought never seen

Now you made me see, that all the lights are falling
Down on you, down on me
Having you by my side, I have learned to believe
That freedom of the mind will erase all my agony

Came from the mountains of madness
To swim these swirling seas of love
Free from delusion and sadness
The freedom of life / the freedom of love

Don´t be afraid of death she said
and dance into this spiral of a life with me
Just take my hand and let it be real
And you will see your life has been really mean
Now just let it be

Come let freedom ring my friend
I see the lights are falling down on you and on me
Just let it be real

We swam the magic ocean, many times
We’ve seen the moon descent,
while we crossed the rainbow twice

So come take my hand now and be mine
Let it be, come take a ride with me

Come take a ride with me babe, come closer now
We´re on a long distance trip right into the eternal mind

Don´t you slip away now…
