Come Alive (Journey)

I'm baptised into joy as I ride on the crest of a wave
I plummet the depths as I smilingly pass through my grave
We're [going?] astral chords just to give you a thrill as we go
I take you aboard we're all soul brothers and sisters now

I journey over all the depths of your soul
On the motorway of love
I'm so glad that you were able to go
With my yin and your yang we fit just like a glove

Oh baby!

The world we create from the womb of our wisdom
The people return to the ways of the lord
To find he's a joker
Who's turned all the laughter to fear [???]
Reach him although he can't hear [???]

Climb on the [???!]
You're heard through the dark
I'll keep holding on 'till
Everyday I find I need a little love
Every way I'm looking round to give myself a thrill
I look at the trees and all the animals around my face
I feel your touch warming my body
and I know I've caught you in my place

Well now a man and a woman
They joined in their soul
The electrical forces of the body
Make your love grow

You catch hold each other
You start to get warm
Your blood is arising
keep a better lover [???]
when you bring it all around and back again

Never mind if fools say you can't win
I say you can't lose
Just carry on

YOu'll find your believer
Just when you think that you're lost forever
You have found love

Spirit of Joy (Journey)

Across the open land my sweet
No sun up in the sky
I threw down my skins and opened up the door

The sun came streaming in
and it shone out through your eyes
As you laughed and threw Van Goghs here on the floor

Crying
Hey, Spirit of Joy!
Whoh you make us fools be and we're wise
Hey, Spirit of Joy!
It feels so good you came into my life

Put your mind just where your mouth is and I'll tell the truth today
I say you're the one that I've been waiting for
You've not been round this way already so now my time has come
And now I'll see just what I'm looking for

Hey, Spirit of Joy!
It feels so good you came into my life
Hey, Spirit of Joy!
I know our love will launch us to our goal

Hey, Spirit of Joy!
I feel the daylight breaking through again
Hey, Spirit of Joy!
Hey, Spirit of Joy!

Brains (Galactic Zoo Dossier)

We want your brain expect for further education

We want your brains
To pay for further education

We want your brains
They belong to the nation

Trouble (Galactic Zoo Dossier)

Take a look into tomorrow
And see yesterday return
So much pain and so much sorrow
Will makind ever learn ?

I would like to write a song
To tell the world what is wrong with it today
I would like to write a book
If that where all it took,
To make it´s troubes go away

Whirlpool (Kingdom Come)

Silver Surfer
Desperate Dan
Textbook toothbrush
Mother's hand
The blazing snow
The schoolboy son
The bullfinch shot
With my own gun
That made me wonder "Why?"

A pedal-car made by my dad
Crystal radio
My own first pad
The lays beneath
The landlady's nose
Rock concerts in
Fancy clothes
That made me feel so high

Sunrise (Galactic Zoo Dossier)

The sunrise on the killing
Has left me in the way
I´m looking round to find the light
Won´t you let me see the day

Anywhere a man turns
He can´t help but see
Waves of destruction
And insanity
Deep down my soul
Raises a plea
Oh Lord, bring it back to me

The finger that will beckon
Will as soon push you right back again
The arms that caress you
Will fill you full of pain
And that's why
Why I gotta love someone
Deep down in my heart I gotta be free
To let my soul grow

And then tomorrow can be
Full of laughter and sunshine
The way behind you may seem
Very long but far away
And you may search

This whole wide world longing for beauty
But never listen, never listen what a man say

You´ve got to be
Just what you are
Or you will never understand

I´ll never be a fool again
I'm gonna try to reach in my mind
I'm gonna look for the way
I gonna try and I'll breathe again

Looking out the way
Try to make the day shine

I realise that nothing's gonna get you down
Nothing you owned
Nothing you wanted
And nothing you've had is gonna make you high

Night Of The Pigs (Galactic Zoo Dossier)

Grunting through our slime
Truncheons beating death´s time
On a wave of red flesh foam
We drive our riteous message home

This is the gig to and all gigs
This is the night of the pigs

Grunt snarl boot in the door
Handcuffs lie face down on the floor
Plant it easy for the dog
You take the bathroom, I´ll take the bog

This is the gig to and all gigs
This is the night of the pigs

Simple Man (Galactic Zoo Dossier)

I´m only a simple man
I´ve learned
A trick or two
As people must do

I´ve had a little
Intellectual placement
In a very near corner
Of my mind

And I´m spending
What seems to be
The rest of my life
Trying to get behind
To You
There must be a way

So in the darkest night
Let your little light
Keep on shining bright
To me

Homeless wanderer in my tent
Nowhere where I belong
Where I found this song

I´ve had a little
Intellectual placement
In a very near corner
Of my mind

Water (Kingdom Come)

Water flow
River restless wave
Floating with the morning
Through the sky

You can see the dawning
All around your head
Let the water roll
Let the water roll

Where the rainbow dresses you
In coats of no detail
See the end of yesterday and follow Earth's early smile
Where birds breeze time in one pure note
Shatters facing flight
See them dark holes in the sky
Letting in the night

River!

Let the water roll
Let the water roll

Surely you can see the water flowing cross the ploughed field
Catches snatches of tomorrow that they drift beyond you to afar

Let the water roll
Let the water roll

Metal Monster (Galactic Zoo Dossier)

Metal monster cold tipped prick
Splits me arse to head
Computers sets the dials in my brain
To buggery of the dead

Wooden puppets suck me dry
Then wire up my destiny
My soul a prisoner with no eye
"Rides the pulse of a speeding lie" [or] "Feels the tired pulse of a whole world die"

Galactic Zoo (Galactic Zoo Dossier)

The cruel master of this earth
Holds me bound by death and birth
My soul enticed here to be caught
Trapped in time and sealed by thought
Hears its fellows prisoners cry
"We must find truth before we... die!"

Help me!
Save me!
All I want to know,
Is just who we are and where I go.

Space Plucks (Galactic Zoo Dossier)

Space plucks the planets of universe
To play that silence solar symphony
Sliding down the time on a path of light
Towards the chord of earth is me

Cosmic chameleon drawn by force
Shapes of souls audition for earth
Accepted a mask is chosen
And old roles sealed off at birth

Strange loud music surrounds me now
As planets circle a slow solid round
Their notes cascade down upon me now
As the finger stops its frets on my new sound

Worlds and we begin surrounded
Forces frame the scale of life
Planets dance in constant motion
Form the pattern form

Internal Messenger (Galactic Zoo Dossier)

I tried to be what others needed
Now I'll be just what I am
I've stolen and begged and borrowed pleaded
Whatever must be done I can.

For I've got to know
Seems there's no-one to show
Us our powers
That's why I've had to take me
And break me away from my past.

Opened up to new vibrations
Everything both right and wrong
'Yes and no' to every question
How can be this the way to go?

Won't let the blind direct my mind
Listen I'll find a way to my secrets
For with or you or without you
I've got to make life my home.

Deep in my heart
I can feel insanity
Letting go to set me free

Yes the feeling that I'm flying
Has me screaming
Till I'm crying out for more
And there's no escape,
'Cos someone's closed the door

Nobody´s here to help you now
Nobody... Nobody's here to show you how
You'll have to face yourself alone

And the meaning of our yearning
Is the feeling that we're learning where we are
And there's something calling to us from afar

Watch me here, Watch me there,
I'm everywhere!
Would you laugh, would you cry...
Are you afraid to die?

Have you looked? Have you seen?
Do you know where I have been at all?
Around the world, in the sky,
I'm gonna look for life

Sends for the sun to let the rays
Dump on your smiling face again
Gonna ride
Let the sun beam down

And there's something falling to us from afar

Fire Poem [Mono Version] (Crazy World of Arthur Brown)

There's only one way out. Go bathe yourself in fire.

And I was lying in the grass, by a river
And as I lay, the grass turned to sand,
And the river turned to a sea

And suddenly the sea burst into flames
And the sand was burning

And I breathed in and there was smoke in my lungs
And there was fire in my brain

And I looked around me and there were all these shapes been sucked into flames

And they were writhing and trying to escape
And I knew that I had to get out

And I looked above me and I saw a shape
That was smiling down at me and beckoning saiyng:
'Come on home!'

And I raised myself and I tried to get out of the flames
And I was getting higher, and higher, and higher, and higher....

And I reach out, I reach out towards the shape

And I reach out, the shape shattered and my hands were empty

I was falling, I was falling, falling, falling...
I was falling into the flames!
And I knew that I was gonna burn, I was gonna burn!
Oh, It´s so hot in here, let me out, please.

Nightmare [Mono Version] (Crazy World of Arthur Brown)

Dynamic explosions in my brain
Shatter me to drops of rain
Falling from a yellow sky
Orange faces through an opened eye

Stop me
Hold me but as I jerk
Stop me
Voices from all those worlds

Lips don't want to criticize you know
Eyes can never tell you lies
It's not wise

Take my fire
Right from my brain
Let me burn in fire

Why is it so cold out here
So cold
Let me in

The price of your entry is a sin
Go away then return
Know which face you have to turn
Eyes glaring
Voices blaring
Why?

Cold hands, fingers turning in my brain
Take my love and turn it to pain
Take my heart, raise its desire
Take me burning higher and higher

Let me get free out of this world
And go on
Please
Set me free

Why? Why?

Fire (Crazy World of Arthur Brown)

I am the god of hell fire, and I bring you
Fire, I'll take you to burn
Fire, I'll take you to learn
I'll see you burn

You fought hard and you saved and earned
But all of it's going to burn
And your mind, your tiny mind
You know you've really been so blind
Now 's your time, burn your mind
You're falling far too far behind
Oh no, oh no, oh no, you're gonna burn

Fire, to destroy all you've done
Fire, to end all you've become
I'll feel you burn

You've been living like a little girl
In the middle of your little world
And your mind, your tiny mind
You know you've really been so blind
Now 's your time, burn your mind
You're falling far too far behind
OOhhh
Fire, I'll take you to burn
Fire, I'll take you to learn
You're gonna burn, you're gonna burn
You're gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn

Fire, I'll take you to burn
Fire, I'll take you to learn
Fire, I'll take you to bed

Rest Cure (Crazy World of Arthur Brown)

When this world is getting you down
And nothing is in a traft place
Your friends are letting you down
And you can't seem to find the right phase

All you want is me
All you need is me I give you

Rest cure from all your realms
Rest cure will make the world stand still
Rest cure the world will bring you down no more

When living becomes just a task
And your burden's too heavy to bare
And life is trivellin so fast
That colours become just a glare

You can lean on me
And take my eyes to see
I give you
Rest cure from all your realms
Rest cure will make the world stand still
Rest cure the world will bring you down no more

Take my hand and I'll show you where
Love can vanish all your worries and dispair

When you can't cling on to the past
Cause you're not proud of anything you've done - no
And much mold seems like your last
Cause you're robbed of all you want

All you want is me
All you need is me
I give you
Rest cure from all your realms
Rest cure will make the world stand still
Rest cure the world will bring you down no more

You know it won't bring you down no more, babe
And while I'm here I'm just gonna make sure
You go on and on and on this way

Come and Buy (Crazy World of Arthur Brown)

God brother, you lie!

When you see a fire burning inside your minds eye
grieve the meaning of the flames before you let them die
let them burn you through until you know that you can fly

twisting, turning, falling, burning, roaring balls of fire
eyes that see them have no need of guides to stand the wire
let the flames burn you right through til lower burns through higher

come and see, come and buy
come and see, come and buy

I can sell you love
I can buy you the morning sun

You can buy a sun for the morning
Throbbing sun to set in the water for tea
Packets of love for nothing a pound
Crystals of beauty to melt in the sea
Soaking it into a mind full of Fire
Join hands with the sun and set yourself free

Come and see
Come and buy
Come and buy
Buy my love

Sleeping sunsets swept their beauty melting at your feet
Take your mind through sacred fire leaving you complete
Let the flames burn you so hard there can be no retreat

Floating, drooping, looping, turning, roaring balls of fire
Light the pathway you must take to drag you from the myre
Soothe the darkness from your feet burn down your funeral pyre

Come and see, come and buy
Come and see, come and buy

I can sell you love
I can sell you the morning sun

You can buy a Sun for the mornings
From sun till set [??????????]
Buckets of love from nothing a pound
Crystals of beauty to mountain and sea
Something that into a mind full of fireJoin hands with the sun and set yourself free

Come and see, come and buy
Come and buy
Buy my fire
Buy my fire

Eyes are glaring on your face watching [???]
Take the sun that sweats at midnight burning you below
See the sun as it sweats with beauty burning throught the fire
Filling out your soul so deep

Fire

Come and buy my fire
Come and buy my fire
Come and buy
Buy my fire

Why is it so cold out here ?
So cold!
Let me in!

The price of your entry is a sin
Go away then return
Know which face you have to turn
Eyes are glaring
Voices blaring
Why?

Superficial Roadblocks (Journey)

Superficial roadblocks from the ego in your mind
Have set the pace for hatred and distress amongst all mankind
The truth the love the beauty are hidden from your sight
The image in the mirror won't let you see the light

Why are we my Lord on this Earth?' I cry
Trapped by fear and lust and plagued by doubt if or die
Could you take the time to find your mortal soul?
Could you find the way if you had the time of day?

All the hopes and dreams can you really make my schemes?
Take the time my friend, look within

Superficial roadblocks of the eagle in your minds
Have set the pace for hate and distressed among all mankind
The truth, the love, the beauty are hidden from your sight
The image in the meres won´t let you see the light

'Why are we my Lord on this Earth?' I cry
Trapped by fear and lust and plagued by doubt if I live or die

Take the time my friend, look within
There is no death in life there's only a new body and you begin

These lyrics were written by Victor Peraino, the Chicago-based synthesizer player for Kingdom Come.

Time Captives (Journey)

Now time ship! Atom centuries!

Alpha waves compute before eternity began
Lone protons probing vast galaxies

We seek a void where creation once cried "OM!"

Time captains
We synthesize the rays powering your brain

We are time captains
We synthesize the race power in your brain

We are time captains
We are time captains

Network cosmic mind learn your destiny

We are time captains
We are time captains

We write the astral records of history

We are time captains

Oceans free-fall
Waves interweave
Patterns
Dizzy space
Sound ball
Soft birth
Colors congeal'ectricity

Cosmoscope sparks
Night laughs cool
Flare heartbeat
Serene sun

Ahhh-ahhh-ahhh-ahhh
Ahhh-ahhh-ahhh-ahhh
Lahhh-dah-dah
Lah-dah-dah
