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
Hypnotised hostile world
To her presence is falling
Flame on
Soul possession and sacrifice
Voodoo fire’s setting your world alight
Voodoo fire
As far away as Jupiter and way beyond its thirteen moons
Solar system of Lucifer in a ritual of cosmic doom
Baby, Papa Nebo is callin
Zombie rise to the voodoo cries
From your mortal tomb awaken
Flame on
Soul possession and sacrifice
Voodoo fire’s setting your world alight, alright
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?
Fantasising virtue, whilst inequity breeds
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 Satanic robots control your brainwashed mind
They’re selling you eternal life through a TV 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 Satanic 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 every one
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 king’s 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
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
[Instrumental]
8. Revolution
21st century, another second away
Scientific mind control, zombified 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
Satanic satellite, beaming hell into your home
Watch the living dead lobotomy TV 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
Satanic satellite beaming hell into your home
Watch with the living dead lobotomy TV 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 through 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
Starwalker, sky designer, expand your telescopic mind
Neon moon, your guide across the 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 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
Starwalker, 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 fantasiser, 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
You’re living in a high speed world so crazy
Burning out of mental fuel
The ball of fortune is getting cloudy
You gotta see 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 are 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 BC
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 DC
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 still goes on, and all this wealth I own
Amongst the ruins I roam, uncivilised, 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
