Prologue

Worlds atomize and oceans evaporate in eternity!
Man erects out of the darkness,
laughs into the glimmering light and disappears...
 


Poseidon's Creation

When the mighty sons of the spheres beyond
distributed the elements of earth
they laid down the foundation-stone
of highest spiritual birth
which ever existed since thousands of years
but is lost now in the future and past
lightyears away from our daily tears
those unperceived moments which always last

Poseidon became lord of earthquake and seas
master of oceans and all their wealth
god of an island, there lived a family
with a daughter of beauty and health

Atlantis was the island's name
greatest treasury of all times
human eyes didn't ever see the same
silver and gold, fertile hills, woodlands and plains
it was situated in front of the strait
they call "The Columns of Herakles"

Kleito was the daughter's name
a princely virgin of clearness and love
so Poseidon fell in love with her
and built a shrine on the mountains above
surrounded by a golden wall
and inside he placed his holy law

Son of god and daughter of earth
they created ten sons, human creatures
who've been of supreme beings at birth
of pure essence and perfect features
what a divine possibility to overcome evil
so listen what man did!
 


Incarnation of Logos

No native soil, no ocean, no salty wave
no sky above
no living being
no movement, no colours, no elements
no eye to see anything- complete emptiness
Before all was nothing?

The moon, companion of the sun,
touching celestial globe, motionless starry sky
the planets don't know where to move
they are unaware of puissance and of hope
Intrinsic virtues awake!

All of a sudden appears a light,
horizons open wide
voices fill the air
And The Gods Made Love!
The layers tremble and raise in staggering
and words transform into flesh and blood

The act of uppermost magic has begun
impulses working on and on
movement here and there
Vibrations Move The Atmosphere!

Transcendental forces penetrate
the planet we call Earth
and all spheres of the universe
All the elements burst!

A warm powerful breeze inspires inanimate matter
and a creature, shaky reeling on two legs
extends it's hands shivering against the sky
Primary procreation is accomplished!

MAN arises out of dusty clouds
eyes are staring all around
ears are noticing unknown sounds
legs are pounding on the ground

Now MAN knows he's not alone
so his hands take up the stone
anxiety to hold his own
fighting for the creatures throne

MAN forms tribes to enlarge his chance
to survive the primeval living-dance
the strongest ones fight for leadership
and by these fights they attain the grip
on the weaker ones who become suppressed
by their violence so are we possessed
by the same ideas in a world
that's full of fears and tears and "progresses".
 


The Sun Song

What kind of sound, I think I can hear
a lily-white lily calling
she seems to yearn to darken skin and hair
I really know, without her force
you would be falling
you wouldn't need to breathe
my sinner air
now listen

This day'll be grey, so take my advice
and wait for the dawning
wait for the rise of light tomorrow morning
look for the highest place in space
to rest and stay
you've got to chase the early rising sun
next day
 

The Dance In Doubt And Fear

The day'll be grey? It said
I've got to chase the early rising sun next day?
To look for the highest place to rest and stay?
Don't understand the bodyless voice!
"Your brain-frightening?!"

I think I have to flee from here
Don't dare to chase the early rising sun one day
Or am I condemned forever in try
To break the rules of fools?
"They will exist without decay!"

The rules survive all skeletons and passing-bells
Whose pinball-wizzard do I have to play
To be ravished and plundered and ripped up
And hidden by supernatural voices inside my frightened brain.

The murderer's hand is ruling human life
And I do question my surrender
I do not want - just to survive -
Forever fear her squeezing me as rough as tender.

She is the one as light as heat
She burns the shadow's outline harder
She lives by bearing life indeed
We live, we die! - but don't seem ever to regard her.

Time starts to burn my sinner - skin
NOW! shall I flee or shall I try to follow?

Are my conditions wise enough to win?
Or are the idol's eyes adoring me because I am as weak as hollow?

The human flesh is chasing superficial glory
The crashing light impress burnin', dyin' eye
That is how rare has been experience in history
To raise the mind in wisdom instead of learning how to kill and die.

This day did nearly pass like all the others
Only a deeper doubt arose in me
I'll search the place on upper dyin' covers
Just to control, or do I try to make you trust in me?

I think I have to flee from here
Don't dare to chase the early rising sun one day
Or am I condemned forever in try
To break the rules of fools?

Wasted time, grey light
Proclaim my duty
To be prepared for final mistake!


Mutiny

Your father told me I can stay
But he mistrusts my unfamiliar ways:
He wants to use the things I've learnt
Six hundred years of knowledge sorely earned
But if we can stay together,
I don't mind the things he tells me:
Of defending him in mutiny, I don't care, if you're there, I don't care

On the farms they've made a stand
Against the hated iron hands, they're uniting
They're backed by everyone in town
And I must ride to beat them down,
how they're fighting:
But I understand their cause
To fight against the laws, they're right
I promised to the end and fight
The hatred's there in their eyes,
They'll break his might
it's no surprise if they do it:
But I must take the other side
And somehow learn to stand and fight
and come through it:
Though there's little chance
That I beat bow and lance, I must
Our love drives me on
For you're the only one I can trust.
 

Gliding Into Light And Knowledge

Where are my arms
I'm missing you, can see through you
I'm missing pain and movement

Where is the sun
I dwell in you, know you're true
my flesh dissolves in movement

I'm gliding into light and knowledge
across an everlasting pasture

Réveil mon soleil
I dwell in you, know you're true
my body is your movement

A cause du soleil
We're living here, we suffer dear
let's start new life today

We're gliding into light and knowledge
across an everlasting pasture

into the everlasting future! future!......
 

Inside

sometimes stay alone
dream like a child
of all the seasons
pictures and fantasies
moving on and on in my mind
all the time, all the time

but the dreams are gone
then reality is near
I take your hands, feel your breath
and know that I won't stay alone anymore

I take your hands, feel your breath
and know that I won't stay alone anymore
 

Atlantis' Agony At June 5th 8498,

13 P.M. Gregorian Earthtime
 

And so the gods decided:
great is the fear for you,
when your eye takes the field against those
who tried to raise against you.
Make your eye go down
and strike the mutineers with disaster.
The eye shouldn't rest in your forehead,
now it has to go down as "Hat-Hor"...
... And the eye of "RE" mounts down
from his divine brow - down there on Earth
and strikes them with disaster...

Spirits darken the sky!
The divine guided missile is on it's way,
and it's especially directed by:
"Emnasut" - first genius of the Sun-sphere
"Gomah" - first genius of the Venus-sphere
"Ebvap" - first genius of the Moon-sphere
"Aschmunadai" - first genius of the Earth-sphere

We do not know, but they do, and they remember:
A liquid fire appears in the sky
The flash of life is radiating
The flash of death - we're surrendered
It's light shines! Shine on!
It's light shines! Shine on!

Mind power made the rocks sink,
and by this power the mass of stones will surface again!
Legends kept the secret of their wisdom
and soon it will all be revealed,
soon it all will be revealed
1983,84,85,86,87,88

We are a particle in the ocean
lost and safe like a tear,
we are born and lost in the ocean
where is mercy with our fear?!
