1. Voodoo Fire

Magic lady of the Snake Cult stands, high on the Voodoo Mountain
Society does the Congo Dance, to the Serpent Queen's chanting
Baby - Feel the demons burning
Hypnotized Hostile World. To her presence is falling!

Flame on - Soul Possession and Sacrifice
Voodoo Fire's setting your world alight

Voodoo Fire

As far as away as Jupiter and way beyond its 13 Moons
Solar System of Lucifer in a ritual of Cosmic Doom
Baby - Papa Nebo is calling
Zombie rise to the voodoo cries. From your mortal tomb awaken

Flame on - Soul Possession and Sacrifice
Voodoo Fire's setting your world alight - all right

Cultes Des Mortes - Resurrect him
Raise the King of the Dead
Baron Samedi - A Serpent Orgy
Welcomes you - King of the Dead!

Jungle Magic is spreading fast in a global manifestation
Necromantic system bows to a black mass of invocation
Tell me - The secrets of the future
To stop the flames of this burning world, resurrect our dead creator

Voodoo Fire






2. The Unnatural World

Crucified millions go to mass every day
To earn from God their moral wages
Their world is dying - for forgiveness they pray
Yet meanwhile the battle rages

Can't you see what you're doing?
Can't you see what I'm trying to say?
Fantasizing virtue, whilst inequity breeds. Yeah
Mechanical slaves to the Doomsday Machine

But you won't listen - You watch the planet turn
From Cathedral spires. The Unnatural World

Ultra bright red planet with inflammable sea
Vivid world of spectral colors
Genetic reproductions of a plastic forest
A nation of invisible figures

Well can't you see that we're trapped here?
Can't you see that you cannot escape?
This Earth is a ball that we're all chained to
Tortured humans in a scientist's zoo

But you won't listen - You watch the planet burn
From Cathedral spires. The Unnatural World

Atomic lords living in their Ivory Palace
The animals are locked in their cages
Dictator of Destruction has the world on its knees
In comfort while his battle rages

Can't you see what they're doing?
Can't you see what I'm trying to say?
Our planet is resting on a skeletal hand
As nature dies in this grief-stricken land






3. Satanikus Robotikus

Supergod of Evil - Casting his spell on the Earth
Beware of clockwork devils spreading the word
Don't let them robots fool you - About their man in the sky
Cos in their quest to rule our world, we are witches at the trial

Seek!
Destroy!
Kill!

God's Satanik Robots - Control your brainwashed mind

They're selling you eternal life through a T.V. Screen
Their Crucifix is a Dollar Sign in disguise
They're sending you to the Heavens - But first you pay for the flight
You live beneath a Pentagram- Send your cash to The Lord of the Flies

Seek!
Destroy!
Kill!

God's Satanik Robots - Control your brainwashed mind

Wars of Science Fiction - Now become reality
As Ultraman versus Robochrist our time is nigh
So use your Robot Detector - shoot right through their disguise Deactivate
their master plan, we gotta see those tyrants die






4. Freedom

Listen while I tell ya - Each and Everyone
About the state our planet's in and what should be done
Wheels of Freedom turning backwards on themselves
Liberty is burning - in this Hell, this Cosmic Cell

Freedom for the people - Humanity and all Mankind
Liberate your Soul and Mind - It's waiting for you all to find

But getting it together is what I'm talking about
Ain't got time to argue - Just time to turn it out
Look into the future - Just tell me what you see
If we don't love each other - There'll be no harmony

Freedom for the people - Humanity and all Mankind
Liberate your Soul and Mind - It's waiting for you all to find

Free wheel keep turning - Open up your mind
Star-spangled stairway - That you're waiting to climb
It's just a bummer - they're fascist rules
Police and Politicians - Pushing on you

Father of Creation - Master of this Tomb
Universal Messiah - Motherfucking King of Doom
We don't ask forgiveness - For our sins against you Lord
We want retribution - For the Twisted ways you've taught






5. Captain Clegg

A funeral moves. Under the cloak of night
Captain Clegg and his smuggling pirates ride
With contraband of the finest Brandy and Wine
Hidden inside a macabre coffin disguise

A tombstone reads "Captain Clegg, R.I.P."
Yet still he sails across the Phantom Seas
Such a holy man for all of you to see
The Village Vicar: - His secret Identity

Frightened people, fear the evil
in their leader - Captain Clegg

The Kings Revenue Men - learn of Clegg's illicit deeds
From a local trader - Now a corpse who no longer speaks
If you cross his path - He'll slice off both your ears
Have your tongue cut out, and reduce your life to tears

Perish all of you - Who betray me
Your ghostly leader - Captain Clegg

A few words from Collier....

He wore the mask of the skeletal creature of night
His oath was terror and "Blood!" his battle cry
He was a wanted man, who escaped the Hangman's noose
The Parish leader - His pirate clergy in the loose

He sailed the Phantom Seas, catered for community needs
The Village Master - Captain Clegg

He was a ghost rider - Phantom night creature
Evil leader: - Captain Clegg. R.I.P.






6. Earth Messiah

Insane Asylum Planet Earth
The Universe has become a hearse
I drove your destiny to your maker
I was your futureworld creator

My wicked eye - watched planet burn
I am your master - I am the Earth Messiah

Television parasites
Tune into Brainstation Satellite
I'm sucking cash from your minds - so empty
Oh, how your weakness pleases me

Brainwashed children - From you I feed
I am your master - I am the Earth Messiah

My Black Cloak spreads across your world
The lights go out to a mushroom cloud
Atomic crypt becomes your Heaven
For all of this time you have prayed for me

My work is done - Now I've set you free
I am your master - I am The Earth Messiah






7. The Caravan







8. Revolution

21st Century - Another second away
Scientific mind control - Zombiefied Human Race
Skeleton of cosmic sky - The Devil man has eaten away
Frozen sun won't stop the fight - Of the burning legion

Revolution - is calling - Take Control
Burn the Masters - Let's Riot - Lose Control

Satanik Satellite - Beaming Hell into your home
Watch with the Living Dead Lobotomy T.V. show
Politician / Preacher man has tried to make you his slave
As robotic icons are leading Earth into the Grave

Revolution - is calling - Take Control
Burn the Masters - Let's Riot - Lose Control

You see the Devil smiling though a world of flames
You watch the children running - now tell me who's to blame?
Deadly forces of Evil - Casting you under their spell
Deactivate the program - Before they get your soul- Alright!






9. Kaleidoscope Of Desire

Star Walker / Sky Designer, expand your telescopic mind
Neon Moon Your guider, across deserts of astral sand
Two laughing Planets where faces glow, let the darkness fall behind you
Chemical God awakens - Look into the Cosmic Eye

Starlight Walker - Step inside your mind transporter
Upon your Tongue, A magic ticket to Godlike power

On the storm become a rider - A purple sky, it yearns for you
Escape on wings of fire, from society melting below
Where the spirits and souls are lost, in the drudgery of rotation
Climbing the plastic ladder to a vision of security

Starlight Walker, A magic ticket reshaped your future
Your spirit flies across the sky in your mind transporter

Star Walker / Sky Designer - Keep searching for blue skies
On the storm you are a rider, before the medication dies

Kaleidoscope of desire - You search for eternal ecstasy
Reality Fantasizer - Keeper of the Cosmic Key
A trip you took into no return, The insanity lasts forever
Time on Earth expires, The hourglass runs out for you

Starlight Walker - Aborted Mission in Mind Transporter
Sky Odyssey, into oblivion lost forever






10. Heavy Load

The Reaper called around at midnight. Baby
He had some bad news for you
A final warning - The cards you're playing - Are turning back on you
Your living in a high speed world so crazy
Burning out of mental fuel
The ball of fortune is getting cloudy - You gotta see it through

You push it up - You pull it down, keep dragging it round and round
Don't let it crush ya, or grind you down - Stop falling to the ground

Just keep rolling, controlling - Exploding that Heavy Load
Tarot Woman - My destiny - Who controls Heaven knows
Rolling, controlling, Smashing that Heavy Load
Fire Woman - Give me the key - To ride that burning road

The taker of your soul got it for free
Now he's selling it back to you
But you've got nothing that he needs - Your world he turns for you
The knives at pointing at you from all directions
Those cheating ways were born to lose
Still you keep running in guilty shoes - It's time you faced the truth

Keep pushing up - Keep pulling down, keep on dragging it round and round
Don't let it crush ya - Stop falling down - Get yourself up off the ground

Just keep rolling, controlling - Exploding that Heavy Load
Tarot Woman - My destiny - Who controls Heaven knows
Rolling, controlling, Smashing that Heavy Load
Fire Woman - Give me the key - To ride that burning road

The city is alive with Ghouls, Baby
Who used to be friends with you
But now the living dead are turning - Their dirty backs on you
The joker in the pack is your last card Shit No
You've traded that Ace for blues
Cold paranoia, No holy water - Can cleanse this curse from you






11. The Omega Man

I'm sitting here alone - In this Waxwork Palace
I stare at the motionless man, with the eyes of Judas
It's a face I've seen before. In a distant Mental War
Where am I? Where have I come from?

I am Frankenstein - One Million Years B.C.
Dinosaurs Rule the Earth - All for you to see

Museum of Mankind - distilled in Ghostly Silence
This Orb no longer turns. As if it never happened
My laboratory has closed. I'm a scientist with all the answers
But where am I? But where do I belong???

I am Frankenstein - One Million Years D.C.
Machines now rule The Earth. Not for you to see.

I've played chess against the world, and conquered my own madness
I've designed my own plague - Become my own Big Brother
But life goes on, and all this wealth I own....
Amongst the ruins I roam, uncivilized. Alone.






12. Dust Of Paradise

Walking away behind the mirror of nighttime.
I'm coming home.
Sailing to you aboard a ship of phantoms.
Am I the only one?
Is this a dream, is it a nightmare?
What can I do?
Slipping away, I'm falling from this lifeline,
I'm coming home to you.

Back from Hell again
I can take you there....

I've fought with an ancient beast that lived inside me
I'm coming home
A casket of stars surrounds this blackened and lost soul
Am I the only one?
Again and Again, Yeah one more last time
I'm coming home
Walking into a golden mirror of sunshine
I'm coming home to you

Farewell last sunrise
You can take me
Where the solemn angel rides
Through the Dust of Paradise

Walk with me through the Dust of Paradise - My friend
See my world, Where the Ghosts of life are sent again
Release your soul from this mortal coil of life - My friend
See yourself in the Mirror of Beginning again........
The End ?!?!?
