In the Garden of Emotions

---

HIPPIE:
It's kinda groovy
in this world of fantasy
where no one else can go
within these boundaries
I'm shielded from reality
without a care or woe

EGYPTIAN:
Amon-ra, have you come to seal my fate?
in the garden of emotions
free my ka, how much longer must I wait?
in the garden of emotions

HIPPIE:
I roam the universe
in cosmic meditation
to find my inner me
I'm getting high on love
spiritual vibrations
to set bad karma free

EGYPTIAN:
Amon-ra, have you come to seal my fate?
in the garden of emotions
free my ka, how much longer must I wait?
in the garden of emotions

Voices in the Sky

ROMAN:
Take up arms and follow me

BARBARIAN:
Hey who are you to take the lead?

ROMAN:
I will keep you all from harm

BARBARIAN:
So what kind of god do you think you are?

ROMAN:
A warrior is what I am

BARBARIAN:
No I'm the wolf and you are but a lamb

ROMAN:
If you doubt my force you'll live no more

BARBARIAN:
You will end your war upon my sword

INDIAN
"And voices in the sky shall cause the soul to die"

ROMAN:
We'll break away by my command

BARBARIAN:
No we'll crush our foe and quell this land

ROMAN:
You cannot kill what's already dead

BARBARIAN:
Whoever rivals me will lose his head

ROMAN:
You'll endanger all our precious lives

BARBARIAN:
Well I don't care, I will survive

ROMAN:
I'm the only one who can set us free

BARBARIAN:
Go chase your ghost and leave me be

INDIAN
"And voices in the sky shall cause the soul to die"

The Aggression Factor

---

INDIAN:
Fury and fear
Destiny's near
Spirits appear
The legend is here

FUTUREMAN:
It must be feeding on our negative emotions
We're at the mercy of some vile computerscheme
We'll have to try to hide our antagonistic notions
If we ever want to end this future dream

KNIGHT:
Chivalrous and bold
pitiless and cold
valiant and true
treacherous and cruel
chivalrous and bold
pitiless and cold
valiant and true
treacherous and cruel

INDIAN:
Fury and fear
Destiny's near
Spirits appear
The legend is here

FUTUREMAN:
We have to free our minds from anger and aggression
It's the only way to defy this cold machine
If we're to stand up to this emotional oppression
We had better stand together as a team

KNIGHT:
Chivalrous and bold
pitiless and cold
valiant and true
treacherous and cruel
chivalrous and bold
pitiless and cold
valiant and true
treacherous and cruel

EGYPTIAN:
Amon-ra, have you come to seal my fate?
in the garden of emotions
