1. Dangerous Lies

We open our scene with illiterati, libertine, liberty, living-life, laying-low, lights out, lovin’ the dumb shit, freedumb, dumb and dumber, undercover, cover-up, up-selling sellout, out of time, time to die
Death before dishonour, dishonourable discharge, discharging your weapon, weaponised frequencies frequent failures, failed us all
All together
Together we rise, a rising tide, tidal wave, wavе to your mates, misnomers and massive momеnts, mental breakdowns, downtown tigers, dangerous lies
A lack of trust from all of us for pumping our kids full of toxins, zapping us in our sleep, spraying us like bugs, activating the machine
Inputting idiot-data, idioms and idiosyncrasies, inevitably inventing ideas I might think belong to me
Whilst mycelial mental maps move energy, exerting force, filling fields of green
Energy, energy, energy, it’s energy
Next level linking data streams, synapses suffering from bad programming
It’s night and day from what they would have you believe
Never knowing nor do we wish to, the night nurse sends us to the land of nod
No way out, or the ninja scrolls, nine levels of power protects us from product placement, paralysing our pineal
Discovering language, summoning secret-sinister-sounds, we speak in spelles to keep us contained in a cryptic, self-sabotaging, sequence of servitude
So hard to even see, we surrender our waking whims, overwhelmed by the fear of falling into a state of non-mutual, social-surrender and silence
All I see are bats that swoop and moths that swarm and secret weapons
Guided by sonar, surreptitiously bathing us in controlling beams of radiation
Resonating our cavities, exciting the very molecules we need
Without a cry or a scream, the frog boiling slowly in hot water
These are our days now
These are our days now
These are our days now
Too late to wise up, I hope you’ve done the work
Too late to wise up, I hope you’ve done the work
Too late to wise up, I hope you’ve done the work
Too late to wise up, I hope you’ve done the work
Dangerous lies
These are our days now
Dangerous lies
Dangerous lies
Too late to wise up, I hope you’ve done the work
I hope you’ve done the work
Too late to wise up
These are our days now
These are our days now
Dangerous lies
Dangerous lies
Dangerous lies
Dangerous lies
Dangerous lies
Dangerous lies
Dangerous lies
Dangerous lies
Dangerous lies
Dangerous lies

2. New Religion

Scream me the news, sounds like some bullshit
Don’t speak too soon, you’ll go and say something stupid
Reds and the blues, pretending they’re different when they are
All in cahoots and it’s just one crooked system

We don’t eat your food, we’re sick of the water
Stop this abuse, plastic and poison
Your head’s in the noose but you’re still chasing the pharma
Oh, please deliver me Lord from mega-tech and the coroner

I ain’t gonna dance for a new religion
I ain’t gonna dance for a new religion
I ain’t gonna dance for a new religion
I ain’t gonna dance for a new religion

I ain’t gonna dance for a new religion
I ain’t gonna dance for a new religion
I ain’t gonna dance for a new religion
I ain’t gonna dance for a new religion
I ain’t gonna dance for a new religion
I ain’t gonna dance for a new religion
I ain’t gonna dance for a new religion
So how you gonna last in this new condition?

Don’t suffer fools, my brothers and sisters
There’s no time to lose, society left us
Love is the tool, raise the vibration
‘Cause when you live in the love it’s called a civilisation

I ain’t gonna dance for a new religion
I ain’t gonna dance for a new religion
I ain’t gonna dance for a new religion
I ain’t gonna dance for a new religion
I ain’t gonna dance for a new religion
I ain’t gonna dance for a new religion
I ain’t gonna dance for a new religion
So how you gonna last in this new condition?

I ain’t gonna dance for a new religion
I ain’t gonna dance for a new religion
I ain’t gonna dance for a new religion
I ain’t gonna dance for a new religion
I ain’t gonna dance for a new religion
I ain’t gonna dance for a new religion
I ain’t gonna dance for a new religion
I ain’t gonna dance for a new religion

3. Ahoy There!

Lie there awake and you listen to the sirens
Nervous of the outcome
And this crowd won’t comply with the abject evil trying
Trying to divide us

Always feels worse at night than when we
Stand in the light and smile

Oh, to breathe

Ooh, woah-oh
The tide is rising high and we sail tonight, yeah
I won’t be drowned in your lies ’cause I’m alive

In the silence, love inside us
In the silence, loving guidance
In the silence, lovе inside us
In the silencе, loving guidance
In the silence, peace and quiet
And the sirens won’t divide us

Ooh, ooh ahoy there
Ooh, ooh ahoy there
The tide is rising high and we sail tonight, yeah
I won’t go down with the lies, I know I’m alive
Heaven only knows that the fear it took control of your mind
Forgive and open up to the love we need to share in these times

Hold the line

~

4. La Sirena

Pepe can you hear us?
Come home to us
Can you hear the ancient songs of Lemuria & Atlantis?
Return to us and be forever happy

~

5. Damn That Frequency

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

You don’t know the thoughts that take control
Of your throne
We must be the pawns of overlords
Overlords

Gotta get away, we live in a realm
Still I gotta break up and out of this hell
But, man, that frequency’s so low
Damn, that frequency’s so low
Gotta get away, we live in a realm
Still I gotta break up and out of this hell
But, man, that frequency’s so low
Damn, that frequency’s so low

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

Heaven help the child that’s on its own
On its own
Wolf, he keeps the humans from the door
And protects our spirit

Gotta get away, we live in a realm
Still I gotta break up and out of this hell
C’mon, man, that frequency’s so low
Damn, that frequency’s so low
Gotta get away, we live in a realm
Still I gotta break up and out of this hell
C’mon, man, that frequency’s so low
Damn, that frequency’s so low

Gotta get away, we live in a realm
Still I gotta break up and out of this hell
C’mon, man, that frequency’s so low
Damn, that frequency’s so low
Gotta get away, we live in a realm
Still I gotta break up and out of this hell
C’mon, man, that frequency’s so low
Damn, that frequency’s so low
Gotta get away, we live in a realm
Still I gotta break up and out of this hell
C’mon, man, that frequency’s so low
Damn, that frequency’s so low

6. The Dancing Tree

Welcome to the underworld, thoughts are taken and mind controlled
Eyes are still dirty from all you saw, ‘cause you doom-scrolled ’til your thumbs were raw
No polite way of sayin’ this when there’s plastic bags sealed around their necks
Anger burning across their eyes ‘cause they did the dance just to stay in line
I don’t care what you think you know, Y’ top hat’s full of alcohol
Fakery and a shaky hand, Gibson, Vespa, Ampersand
Pretending all the way they saved the place while addicted to the kick-back pharma pay, waiting for the cult to rue the day, just waiting for the cult to rue the day
Something in the way their motives stray, nothing like an island escapade, waiting for the cult to rue the day, someone better take their toys away
Justice isn’t working, all the pigs they’re running
Answers come-a-knockin’, now fear is something foreign
You fuckin’ nuisance, think you’re above us, you’re bloody lucky
You roll with body doubles
The days have been uncertain, pain has hit too often, now is the time
To emancipate the sovereigns, mass formation, became psychotic
Between the politicians, doctors and the prophet
I know the difference, it’s worth a mention, our situation is gonna need attention, for the rejection of a system that’s moronic, to help the people that are starvin’ for some lovin’
All the horrors that you faced just for nothing
All the horrors that you faced just for nothing
All the horrors that you faced just for nothing
All the horrors that you faced just for nothing
So what has been your dream in the midst of things?
I hold you in my loving arms as you sleep and scream
Try to reach your heart while you’re judging me
Doesn’t matter anymore like it did last week
Beneath the dancing tree there is a bird who sings, waiting there, he has gone and told me everything, about the people who were starving for some lovin’, and all the horrors that they faced, just for nothing
All the people who were starving for some lovin’
And all the horrors that they faced just for nothing
Underneath, underneath of the dancing tree

8. Ghost Garden

Strange though, it’s a lie, it’s true
Same old pain though, it’s new
No shame, you have the right to choose
Love won’t judge those few

Pretty little bird in a ghost garden
Lovely little world in the garden
I’m a little bird in a ghost garden
Just a little ghost in the garden
Pretty little bird in a ghost garden
Lovely little world in the garden
I’m a little bird in a ghost garden

I’m gonna’ sharpen my sight, I’m gonna’ sharpen
I’m gonna’ sharpen my sight just like a knife
I’m gonna’ sharpen my sight, I’m gonna’ sharpen
I’m gonna’ sharpen my sight just likе a knife
I’m gonna’ sharpen my sight, I’m gonna’ sharpen
I’m gonna’ sharpеn my sight just like a knife
I’m gonna’ sharpen my sight, I’m gonna’ sharpen
I’m gonna’ sharpen my sight just like a knife
I’m gonna’ sharpen my sight, I’m gonna’ sharpen
I’m gonna’ sharpen my sight just like a knife
I’m gonna’ sharpen my sight, I’m gonna’ sharpen
I’m gonna’ sharpen my sight just like a knife

Pretty little bird in a ghost garden
Lovely little world in the garden
I’m a little bird in a ghost garden
Just a little ghost in the garden
Pretty little bird in a ghost garden
Lovely little world in the garden
I’m a little bird in a ghost garden

Pretty little bird in a ghost garden
Lovely little world in the garden
I’m a little bird in a ghost garden
Just a little ghost in the garden
Just a little ghost in the garden
Just a little ghost in the garden

9. I.C.U.

Sweet home, sweet home
Sweet home, sweet home

Wonderful light, we set the scene
All of us cried, knowing that you’d broken free
The depth of the night, the blue and the green
Reading by your holy light, I did not intervene

I see you, can you see me?
Love is true, the river flows at its own speed

Becoming wise, beyond all your dreams
Knowledge and light is all that we seek

I see you, can you see me?
Love is true, the river flows at its own speed

~

10. Wolves Around The City

Wolves around the city
Wolves around the city
Wolves around the city (You’re the bright ones)
Wolves around the city (All my light ones)

I never lose track of the pack I’m with
You’re calling me out, I’m calling you in
Breaking the heart that I’m trying to mend
I never lost track of the pack with my heart
Though we were scattered and left in tatters

My light, my love, in everything
My light, my love, in everything

Wolves around the city (You’re thе bright ones)
Wolves around the city (All my light onеs)
Wolves around the city (Hail the wise ones)
Wolves around the city (Bring the nice one)
Wolves around the city
Wolves around the city (Gonna fight, won’t take this)
Wolves around the city (We unite, won’t take this)
Wolves around the city (Bring the light, won’t take this)

My light, my love, in everything
My light, my love, in everything
My light, my love, in everything
My light, my love, in everything
