1. The Garden of Emotions (9:41)
Behold: The Star Towers of The Electric Castle! See how it embraces the sky!
How insignificant the mere mortal, dwarfed by the majesty of its electric
edifice! But first, my seven searchers - you must meander through the
verdant vines of the Garden of Emotions. Succumb to its allure. Breathe deep
the intoxicating aroma of endless- entwined emotions....
In the Garden of Emotions
HIPPIE:
It's kinda groovy
in this world of fantasy
where no one else can go
within these boundaries
I'm shielded from reality
without a care or woe
EGYPTIAN:
Amon-ra, have you come to seal my fate?
in the garden of emotions
free my ka, how much longer must I wait?
in the garden of emotions
HIPPIE:
I roam the universe
in cosmic meditation
to find my inner me
I'm getting high on love
spiritual vibrations
to set bad karma free
EGYPTIAN:
Amon-ra, have you come to seal my fate?
in the garden of emotions
free my ka, how much longer must I wait?
in the garden of emotions
Voices in the Sky
ROMAN:
Take up arms and follow me
BARBARIAN:
Hey who are you to take the lead?
ROMAN:
I will keep you all from harm
BARBARIAN:
So what kind of god do you think you are?
ROMAN:
A warrior is what I am
BARBARIAN:
No I'm the wolf and you are but a lamb
ROMAN:
If you doubt my force you'll live no more
BARBARIAN:
You will end your war upon my sword
INDIAN
"And voices in the sky shall cause the soul to die"
ROMAN:
We'll break away by my command
BARBARIAN:
No we'll crush our foe and quell this land
ROMAN:
You cannot kill what's already dead
BARBARIAN:
Whoever rivals me will lose his head
ROMAN:
You'll endanger all our precious lives
BARBARIAN:
Well I don't care, I will survive
ROMAN:
I'm the only one who can set us free
BARBARIAN:
Go chase your ghost and leave me be
INDIAN
"And voices in the sky shall cause the soul to die"
The Aggression Factor
INDIAN:
Fury and fear
Destiny's near
Spirits appear
The legend is here
FUTUREMAN:
It must be feeding on our negative emotions
We're at the mercy of some vile computerscheme
We'll have to try to hide our antagonistic notions
If we ever want to end this future dream
KNIGHT:
Chivalrous and bold
pitiless and cold
valiant and true
treacherous and cruel
chivalrous and bold
pitiless and cold
valiant and true
treacherous and cruel
INDIAN:
Fury and fear
Destiny's near
Spirits appear
The legend is here
FUTUREMAN:
We have to free our minds from anger and aggression
It's the only way to defy this cold machine
If we're to stand up to this emotional oppression
We had better stand together as a team
KNIGHT:
Chivalrous and bold
pitiless and cold
valiant and true
treacherous and cruel
