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 dieDeath before dishonour, dishonourable discharge, discharging your weapon, weaponised frequencies frequent failures, failed us allAll togetherTogether we rise, a rising tide, tidal wave, wavе to your mates, misnomers and massive momеnts, mental breakdowns, downtown tigers, dangerous liesA 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 machineInputting idiot-data, idioms and idiosyncrasies, inevitably inventing ideas I might think belong to meWhilst mycelial mental maps move energy, exerting force, filling fields of greenEnergy, energy, energy, it’s energyNext level linking data streams, synapses suffering from bad programmingIt’s night and day from what they would have you believeNever knowing nor do we wish to, the night nurse sends us to the land of nodNo way out, or the ninja scrolls, nine levels of power protects us from product placement, paralysing our pinealDiscovering language, summoning secret-sinister-sounds, we speak in spelles to keep us contained in a cryptic, self-sabotaging, sequence of servitudeSo hard to even see, we surrender our waking whims, overwhelmed by the fear of falling into a state of non-mutual, social-surrender and silenceAll I see are bats that swoop and moths that swarm and secret weaponsGuided by sonar, surreptitiously bathing us in controlling beams of radiationResonating our cavities, exciting the very molecules we needWithout a cry or a scream, the frog boiling slowly in hot waterThese are our days nowThese are our days nowThese are our days nowToo late to wise up, I hope you’ve done the workToo late to wise up, I hope you’ve done the workToo late to wise up, I hope you’ve done the workToo late to wise up, I hope you’ve done the workDangerous liesThese are our days nowDangerous liesDangerous liesToo late to wise up, I hope you’ve done the workI hope you’ve done the workToo late to wise upThese are our days nowThese are our days nowDangerous liesDangerous liesDangerous liesDangerous liesDangerous liesDangerous liesDangerous liesDangerous liesDangerous liesDangerous lies

2. New Religion

Scream me the news, sounds like some bullshitDon’t speak too soon, you’ll go and say something stupidReds and the blues, pretending they’re different when they areAll in cahoots and it’s just one crooked system

We don’t eat your food, we’re sick of the waterStop this abuse, plastic and poisonYour head’s in the noose but you’re still chasing the pharmaOh, please deliver me Lord from mega-tech and the coroner

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

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

Don’t suffer fools, my brothers and sistersThere’s no time to lose, society left usLove 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 religionI ain’t gonna dance for a new religionI ain’t gonna dance for a new religionI ain’t gonna dance for a new religionI ain’t gonna dance for a new religionI ain’t gonna dance for a new religionI ain’t gonna dance for a new religionSo how you gonna last in this new condition?

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

3. Ahoy There!

Lie there awake and you listen to the sirensNervous of the outcomeAnd this crowd won’t comply with the abject evil tryingTrying to divide us

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

Oh, to breathe

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

In the silence, love inside usIn the silence, loving guidanceIn the silence, lovе inside usIn the silencе, loving guidanceIn the silence, peace and quietAnd the sirens won’t divide us

Ooh, ooh ahoy thereOoh, ooh ahoy thereThe tide is rising high and we sail tonight, yeahI won’t go down with the lies, I know I’m aliveHeaven only knows that the fear it took control of your mindForgive and open up to the love we need to share in these times

Hold the line

6. The Dancing Tree

Welcome to the underworld, thoughts are taken and mind controlledEyes are still dirty from all you saw, ‘cause you doom-scrolled ’til your thumbs were rawNo polite way of sayin’ this when there’s plastic bags sealed around their necksAnger burning across their eyes ‘cause they did the dance just to stay in lineI don’t care what you think you know, Y’ top hat’s full of alcoholFakery and a shaky hand, Gibson, Vespa, AmpersandPretending 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 daySomething in the way their motives stray, nothing like an island escapade, waiting for the cult to rue the day, someone better take their toys awayJustice isn’t working, all the pigs they’re runningAnswers come-a-knockin’, now fear is something foreignYou fuckin’ nuisance, think you’re above us, you’re bloody luckyYou roll with body doublesThe days have been uncertain, pain has hit too often, now is the timeTo emancipate the sovereigns, mass formation, became psychoticBetween the politicians, doctors and the prophetI 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 nothingAll the horrors that you faced just for nothingAll the horrors that you faced just for nothingAll the horrors that you faced just for nothingSo what has been your dream in the midst of things?I hold you in my loving arms as you sleep and screamTry to reach your heart while you’re judging meDoesn’t matter anymore like it did last weekBeneath 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 nothingAll the people who were starving for some lovin’And all the horrors that they faced just for nothingUnderneath, underneath of the dancing tree

9. I.C.U.

Sweet home, sweet homeSweet home, sweet home

Wonderful light, we set the sceneAll of us cried, knowing that you’d broken freeThe depth of the night, the blue and the greenReading 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 dreamsKnowledge 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 cityWolves around the cityWolves 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 withYou’re calling me out, I’m calling you inBreaking the heart that I’m trying to mendI never lost track of the pack with my heartThough we were scattered and left in tatters

My light, my love, in everythingMy 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 cityWolves 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 everythingMy light, my love, in everythingMy light, my love, in everythingMy light, my love, in everything
