lyrics

what do you call a friend that you cant call a friend (i read the news today oh boy)
the cause that led to the end(and i just had to laugh, i saw the photograph)
(id love to turn you on)

o the air of luggala, land of faerie and abandon
rolling stones and michael jackson
britain's golden girls, supranational financiers
(where power came to play) (and play came to power)

was percy thrillington the guinness heir?
did he live out his days in a shack? (fancy that)
oh, he wanted to give it all away (brave, foolhardy lad)
(did he make the grade?)
in the halcyon days of post war psychic sorcery (half life of the afterglow warmth of the phoenix)
unicorns, rampant lions, the british invasion (the lingering langue prolonged in song)
(a bond from the scions of a divine bloodline )
the miraculous stones manufactured for television (egalitarianism templar crucible)
oh bright young things awaken revolution
reflect what vexed all old absolutions
our bodies meld on the hill of tara
as we drink the ale of remembrance
oh someday, we'll have a ball
yes, we'll have a ball to end them all

the song that came to paul in a dream (near st johns wood down by the old priory gate
retrofit for the master of revels in elizabethan time)
was yesterday (the english army had just won the war)
living with roaster asher, daughter jane (anticipates the modern crusade
for the hearts of minds; (new jerusalem (mk ultra mind control experiments)))
alchemical wedding(sun king)

but then they broke it off
ariadne's thread can't bear the weight
summer of love, (mythic death)
the end of history, (six day war)
markets collapse, (debt for profit)
global contamination, (political assassination)
acid trance revolution, (western hegemonic power grab)
psychedelia oh where did it leave us
beautiful dream so sweet to deceive us
free love a diversion (sent from egypt station)
an alternate timeline (return to pepperland)
now theyre terraforming mars (before the poles shift)
when, there was a garden
(o the air of luggala)and the son of a lord, a bridger of worlds (land of faerie and abandon)
snuffed out of history
it could have made a world of difference

the guinness heir (the macguffin is paul is tara is)
wasnt there
(the four of wands, the three of swords
the course of swans, druidic force)

the guinness heir (ley lines, fey rhymes
forgotten word around the wood)
wasnt there
unlit dome, untold thoughts,
imprisoned lightning, all is naught

the fount of our despair the dream forsaken
from the beginning, bardic mystery
arthur's round table, shakespeare and the king james bible
john, paul, (ishtar's ring of stars)
st george slays the time lord, (quetzalcoatl-infiniti)
embedded in the beginning of time
the magic in the tragic
revolutionary conspiracy
moses, akhenaten, oedipus, hamlet
harmonic imperfection of western intonation
solar storms, precessional shift
transhumanism awaits
the tree of life casts apart the husk
the apple star is fallen
hallowed seed, redeem us
the fount of our despair the dream awakens

never to be any other way, we'll all be magic anything
we honor those who've gone for they can guide us
