The Fool
03:51
|
|||
In 1253 the young man called Badager
Traveled to a country so far away
He didn't know how to spell it's name
He left behind everything he knew
and stepped in a world where all things were new
Go Badagar Go
Walking on the main road towards the church
A man made him stop and said
This is a town with respectable people
You look like the jester we could live without
Or are you a tramp, beging food and shelter
Go Badagar Go
Badagar looked back into the man's brown eyes
Not confused or puzzled but curious at most he asked
Is it my bindle that makes you think
That I am the vagabond you fear?
Go Badagar Go
The man glanced over at the bag
Starting to wonder what he might carry
It might contain food, it might contain gold
Or is the fool making the fool of me?
Go Badagar Go
Reading hte man's mind Badagar smiled
Suggested a drink but the man declined
Badagar turned his back and
swung the bindle against the man's face
Go Badagar Go
When the man felt the bindle against his cheek
He could swear he felt coins and valuable stones
Now Badagar was out of his sight
He got more curious about what was in the bag.
Go Badagar Go
After plenty sleepless nights
The man packed his bag
Left everything behind
Determined to find our travelers wealth
Not knowing which road to take
Traveling to countries so far away
Go Badagar Go

Wheel of Fortune

Where will I go?
Nobody decides
The wheel turns around and about our faith
Luck and fortune come at every turn
Rota Taro Orat Tora Ator
What can I dream?
Nobody decides
Look at the turning of the wheel
to find happiness in life and beyond
Rota Taro Orat Tora Ator
Who will I be?
Nobody decides
Each turn defines what you'll be
The turning wheel will set you free
Rota Taro Orat Tora Ator

Rising rain
Growing Down
Sitting up
Floating floor
Swimming birds
Flying fish
Wind around
Standing Down
Smiling people now more look
as if they cry
Never thought I would have seen
The world like this like in a dream
Sky below is white and blue
Flowers dancing above my head
Body stretched
Hanging down
Life upside down
shows ways never seen
What first seemed impossible to me
Now appears to be an opportunity
Rising rain
Growing Down
Sitting up
Floating floor
Swimming birds
Flying fish
Wind around
Standing Down
Smiling people now more look
as if they cry
Never thought I would have seen
The world like this like in a dream
Grass above is green and brown
Hands tied behind my back
Body confined
Mind set free
Life upside down
shows ways never seen
What first seemed impossible to me
Now appears to be an opportunity

The Star
03:43
|

Don’t weep when you meet
an untimely end buried
in words of poetry
but rejoice
Twinkling stars high in the sky
Beautiful from a far
but scorching heat and struggling flames
when seen close by
Scared by screams in the dark?
When heard in beat and harmony
designed in sound
listen carefully
Twinkling stars high in the sky
Beautiful from a far
but scorching heat and struggling flames
when seen close by
Picture wrinkles and scars on a face
Drawn in light and shade
To show a history of life
look inside
Twinkling stars high in the sky
Beautiful from a far
but scorching heat and struggling flames
when seen close by
Whirling knives and flying bullets
Terrified for pain and death
placed in a perfect choreography
Carry away

Eremite
04:28
|

Socrates as eremite
Solitude to free his mind
Traveling with an open mind
Asking people to remind
Then Plato came and said the mind
will have to make a very long ride
To leave the cave into the light
To leave the shadow to where it's bright

The World
03:24
|
|||
Floating through the river unaware of where it goes
People drink it not only to survive
People also think it to quench their mind
Water may vaporize but always will be the beginning of life
Rock stone and dust grown from the deep
People plough and harvest it to eat
but also build with it to not forget
Earth can crumble beneath our feet
or be a symbol of what we did
Flowing floating hurling howling wind
Breathing it in without a thought
Dreaming in it as an endless flight
Air becomes smoke in our hands
or incense in our prays for eternal life
Flames roar, burn and consume
making an end to what was life
creating space a source for rebirth
Fire ends cleanses and heats
to close the circle we name eternity.

Innamorare
03:27
|

Separated by design with the one and only goal
of being united as one whole
Two trees growing different kinds of fruit
Moving together as one root
Caging knowledge and emotion
Joining body and soul
Angels shining light on mystery
while demons hide in shades of gray
With unity as goal and a mountain in between
They travel uphill towards the top
Expressing knowledge and emotion
Understanding each pain and joy
Soon their roots are intertwined
united as one whole
Blossoms dancing in the light
branches catching the wind
Demons hide within their shade
but they look up, reach up for the light

The Moon
03:16

Watching this girl at the bar
he felt like drowning in her eyes
Loosing focus on reality
Seeing images from his mind
Watching this girl at the bar
he could not shed the thought
of dragging her at her hair
and pin her against the wall
But of course this is not done
Imagine how the world would be if
all the people would just do
what comes up in their dirty mind
Sitting at the pond
Hearing burping frogs
Discovering a symphony
of animal life
Quacking ducks
flying over
leaving a trail
of shit behind
Wondering how
to get them down
To pluck them bald
and swing them around
How would it sound
if he would grab
The frogs legs
and pull them out
But of course this is not done
Imagine how the world would be if
all the people would just do
what comes up in their dirty mind
Being restless
in a traffic jam
seeing the lights
turning green
waiting
full of agony
until the car
in front moves on
Feeling the urge
to speed up
and smash
the car in front
Then pull the driver
out on the road
grinding his wheels
right on his corpse
But of course this is not done
Imagine how the world would be if
all the people would just do
what comes up in their dirty mind

Justice
05:18
|
|||
Everything must be weighed
Answers chosen carefully
Balance must be found
Blindfold left aside
Choosing right or wrong
does not fit in an iron box
Laws must guide not judge
Life's not black and white
but also red and green and more
Some believe truth means right
which makes all lies wrong
She however has an open eye
On cause and effect in life
which makes us shout
justice for all
Questions must be asked
Different answers can she get
Balance must be found
Blindfold left aside
Defining truth or lie
is not like choosing right or wrong
Laws must guide not judge
Certain acts seem wrong and mean
but in a different light they might
be right and a struggle for life
She however looks right through the maze
When justice solves the riddle
judgement must take place
which makes us shout
Justice for all

Judgement
04:46
|

Red and green are supposed to fit
But what if I make a different choice
Will you judge me by the rules or by my right
To search and try defining my style?
Color your life, don't think in shades of gray
Bend rules, mix thoughts, get new ideas
Shed some light beyond your boundaries
To search and try defining your style.
Words are liked when expressing joy
But what if I don't feel alright
Can't I pick the words to share my thoughts
And let you feel the ugliness?
Color your life, don't think in shades of gray
Bend rules, mix thoughts, get new ideas
Shed some light beyond your boundaries
To search and try defining your style.
When I sound retarded, will you treat me like a fool?
When I smell like shit, will you treat me like a rat?
When I tear my clothes, will you think I'm mad?

The Chariot
03:03
|

Everyone has a moment
when they contemplate
about how they stand in life
if they travel in a chariot
or if they're caught as slave
'cause sometimes both sides
seem to be the same
conquest honor victory energy
words of power with flexibility
in other words the choice is yours
to drive or to be driven mobility
is all a state of mind
victory is a mental state
matter doesn't matter when
you use the chariots weight
Having a successful business life
might make you want to be respected
might give you choice in luxury
But if you want to keep control
don't let the show make a show of you
it's all about what you chose
take control of the chariot
conquest honor victory energy
words of power with flexibility
in other words the choice is yours
to drive or to be driven mobility
is all a state of mind
victory is a mental state
matter doesn't matter when
you use the chariots weight
Writing books nobody seems to read
Can make you feel neglected
Might let you feel rejected
So if you want to take control
don't forget society is slow
When it's true and really quality
It will become a part of eternity

The Tower
04:13
|

From guided by chilling breeze
to being lost by howling wind
From seeing truth in candlelight
to blinded by lightning sky
Climbing the stairs to the top
did you look around or stop
To wait for the one behind
To care for the one without candlelight
To stay with your feet on the ground
To rest not to loose your mind
but don't forget to look outside
and don't let the storm out of your sight
once on the top there's no one on your side
From listening to white whispers
to unbearable earsplitting screams
From learning truth in rustling leaves
to ignoring cries for help
Climbing the stairs to the top
Did you look around or stop
To talk with the one in front
To catch the stumbling knight
To grab the handrail on time
To discover the echoed words
But don't forget to look outside
and don't let the storm out of your sight
once on the top there's no one on your side
Finally every body will reach the top, no matter if you want it or not
Even you will carry the crown, feel the power and it might.
Then fall to depths you never saw.
