1. Voodoo Caravan
Where are you going, where are you going man
It seems you're losing track of mind reaching the promised land
'Cause everybody knows you're gonna go on down
To the river of damnation, letting yourself drown
Come to me sweetly, watch me disappear
I'm the universal healer, smoking out your fear
Nothing is forever when the sun is gone
And what is not alive will never overcome
And the caravan comes rolling
Moving me down the other side
love is like voodoo to my mind
And the caravan comes rolling
I am the river, I'm gonna flow your soul
I'm a humanized torpedo leaving nothing at all
Take a look inside the mirror, tell me what do you see
The voodoo caravan ain't gonna set you free
2. Sell No Soul
Bow down 'till you're safe and sound, kiss the holy ground
Goodbye and let it all explode again
Cause this bond is about to break, just like a giant wave
I'm rolling for the shore of wishful thinking
Who's free, wish I wouldn't be inside a fantasy
Within myself I'm looking from the outside
Well I'm in need for some faster speed, what was reality
Is nothing but hallucination
Nothing left for me to do
I guess my days are done
What you see ain't always true
Somebody try to break my fall
'Cause I won't sell no soul
I don't know if you're friend or foe, when the ending shows
I can only bend until I'm breaking
Long gone, it's a freedom song, nobody's ever done
A single thing, this wreck is going way down
Way too loud for me anyhow, cause I can't stand the sound
I'm tired of the same old...
Poor soul made of rock'n'roll, I guess I do behold
This magical emotion
Nothing left for me to do
I guess my days are done
What you see ain't always true
Somebody try to break my fall
Cause I won't sell no soul
3. Shapes of Afterlife
Tie me down under the desert sun
And let it burn my dusty skin
Feed me dirt it's all that I am worth
It hardly makes me free from sin
There will come a time
I'm stealing back what's mine
Let us bathe in light
Seize the day I'm taking flight
Curse my name, shoot poison through my veins
I'll still be coming back for more
Cause I am seeing things in my distorted mind
No man has ever seen before
I'd rather take a fall
Won't give away my soul
'Cause now the seasons right
Seize the day I'm taking flight
Well I leave it all behind
Life is just a way to die
What's awaiting
After this-infinity?
Why doesn't anybody see
Hell is coming over me
Would it please you
In the shapes of afterlife
4. Until Earth Is Bitter Gone
I won't ever disappear I'll hide behind the sun
Resting until earth is bitter gone
Nothing's like the rain it makes my fountain flow again
Crying 'til the earth is bitter gone
Isolated, here I am, who's surfing in the snow
Who's tripping 'til the earth is bitter gone
Wrong is always right I'll give salvation if I might
See us burn 'til earth is bitter gone
Going down, going down
Do you believe I am fire I am the light
How do you know if you won't ever give it a try
It's up to you cause everything is meant to be found
Let us crash together let us tumble down
Until earth will be bitter gone, will be bitter gone
Until earth will be bitter gone, will be bitter gone
5. (Wade Across) The Mighty River
Shame
Been given silver though I beg for gold
I've been framed
Nobody ever told me life is beutiful
Yeah Lord knows why
It's wearing and tearing, yeah Lord knows
Lord knows why
Someone's stolen my soul, I'm bound to wade across the Mighty river
Mighty river
Shame on you woman, shame on you now
Shame on you woman, shame, shame
Yeah Lord knows why
It's wearing and tearing, yeah Lord knows
Lord knows why
Someone's stolen my soul, I'm bound to wade across the Mighty river
Mighty river
6. Save Me
Well I'm walking backwards into the light
To a place where nothing grows but I will harvest life
There's no question, do or die
Cause I fade away to nevermore
I have walked a nowhere mile
Along with troubled times
Save me if anyone is out there
Cause this hard road is leading into nowhere
Time and again
I trip and I fall
In silence I'm making my plea
Save me
I reclaim the future cause I'm lost in the past
Yeah I am going forward thou' it seems I'm going back
Now you see me now you don't
An illusion til my God says- yeah
I think I've found the missing link
There is no master plan
Save me if anyone is out there
'Cause this hard road is leading into nowhere
Time and again
I trip and I fall
In silence I'm making my plea
Save me
Yeah- yeah I'm beginning to believe I've been misled
Yeah- yeah I'm beginning to believe I've been misled
7. Hole In My Head
It seems I'm slowly giving in
I see the black hole, please begin
To wreck my 1999
Tear out the shattered soul of mine
Hole in my head
Let the beginning be the end
Let me return to yesterday
Here comes the earthquake, once again
I lay before you, I lay before you
Hole in my head
What I was given you did steal
Now I am you and you are me
Hole in my head
8. Overload
I've been cursing my holy maker
Now I'm watching your earth from below
Been drowning myself with a spoonful of wine
Just to see where the journey might go
I've been aching to live in your garden
So I'm building a hole in the wall
Yeah I'm sipping the greed it was what I believed
To be fuel for my poor dying soul
Let me be overlord
I need to satisfy myself
Let me be overlord
Nothing is real of the things I can see
I am watching your earth from below
I have seen with the eyes of the future
I've been living a daydream too long
Been exploring the moon with my needle and spoon
wish tomorrow, my yesterday's gone
Let me be overlord
I need to satisfy myself
Let me be overlord
Nothing is real of the things I can see
I am watching your earth from below
9. Travel Without Moving
From the crack of dawn
'Til the end of day
On a crooked road I travel
Take me miles away
Cause here I go again
Searching high and low
For whatever the day will give me
Before I do explode
Dam the river, lead the water to my well
I hold my head up screaming cause I ride a rumbling train
I am rushing to the moon and back, among the dragonflies, upside is down
I travel without moving
In a wicked mind
hides naked soul
All I know, I don't belong here
Babylon's my home
Over silent fields
Armageddon cries
Barefoot still I keep on walking
But not afraid to fly
Dam the river, lead the water to my well
I hold my head up screaming cause I ride a rumbling train
I am rushing to the moon and back, among the dragonflies, upside is down
I travel without moving
10. Drifting
Flowers growing all around me
Making colors fade to grey I believe I'm going crazy
If it's the day I'll die won't you spread my ashes over
The exploding sky I'm gonna break this rusty cage of mine
Speeding fast I'm rolling lost in a daze
Begging for peace of my mind
It's so easy to slip into wicked ways
I'm drifting, color-blind
Well does it matter where I go, tomorrow
I don't know what to find
Cause when the day is done
I watch another sunset burning red
Until the morning comes
I hear the howling wolves inside my head
Drifting- drifting
Follow nowhere, what you seek
Is way beyond forever
You gotta give if you will reach
Any higher, do you dare
To leave it all behind
Cause I can make it anywhere
Yeah I'm drifting in time
I expect no tomorrow
Yeah I am drifting in mind
I could still be alive
How come I can see thou' I'm blind
Am I sleeping, I don't know
No need to erase and rewind
I am drifting in mind
11. Virgo
Well I'm leaving for the temple of life once again
Cause I've become one of those beggars who's denying today
On top of the world lies a virgo, yeah I thought she was gone
Nobody knows where I'm going, no one knows where I'm from
Well I'm heading for the mountain of greed, yes I am
Need to silent the volcanoes crying atomic rain
I spit on the future, wishing for a light in the black
Seven more days of penance won't be bringing her back
I believe I saw the maker
Breaking down before my feet
I never meant to kill the virgo
I couldn't help but let her flee
I don't know where I am going
I don't know where I am going
Do you know where we are going
I don't know where I am going
