 The following unfinished audio/video and possibly live theatric piece presents a disturbingly accurate perspective on "life in the fast lane"and how we might respond to it (to say the least). I started the work around 2000 CE, writing lyrics, recording sequencer and multi-synth tracks, and then (weeeee) life provided an intense series of quick changes, unrooting, and life path rerouting until Luthien and I were allowed (by the grace of Gaia) to sink new roots on Faerie Hill. When the ecoark is finished I may go back to producing this work in full. Would anyone like to see this whole thing as an hour long music video or is reality enough? - Jade
THE RISING ...
We are the magic - star beings of light - celestial spirits - ancient souls
embodied in flesh in the well of the world.
We were here before Adam and Eve.
We helped plant the garden which greened the globe.
Once upon a bountiful time access to the Tree of Life was free and open to all
then along came the alien gods who cast humankind as slaves to the pyramid
upon which civilization after civilization has risen and fell - back to the well.
Tower of Babel - Planet of Apes - the sacking of Rome
stuck in a skipping groove
repeating the past.
We’ve gathered to spin a new faerie tale yarn
It is time to evolve, to spiral higher and beyond
Let go of your seat. Float off your feet
On with the show ...
DREAM WORLD
dream world -something has been calling
dream world -from the color TV
dream world -got it on the cell phone
dream world -collect call please
dream world -something has been calling
dream world -on the radio waves
dream world -in the bookstore corner
dream world -it’s a modern craze
dream world -so many choices
dream world -which one is real?
dream world -buy my version
dream world -let’s make a deal
GHOST HOUSE
welcome to the ghost house - theater of insane
shadows, shades, and specters - calling us by name
got your number - got your track - got you databased - product on the rack
haunting you to purchase - no purpose more than that
like vampires sucking - like heartless fucking
like following rules to the new death camps
like going to church with a mass murderer’s aunt
or snorting coke or smoking crack
chemical ghosts rock the machine - human hosts to forces unseen
greed, envy, avarice, lust - gluttony, sloth - all to dust
haunted by ghosts - all to the grave - all to the charnel house - hell on parade
welcome to the ghost house - theater of insane
shadows, shades, and specters - calling us by name
TRIXTER
Gonna tell you a story ‘bout a man named Dude - well oiled muscles and a tongue like glue
got tight jeans - bun squish - one track mind - always gets the girls - but he sure ain’t kind
got a wad in the wallet - got a big fat car - got a mansion for a house - a boat in the garage
got a modern wife - and a couple on the side - ghosts in the pocket with a vial of cyanide
got an energy policy - consume all ya can - got a sick philosophy ‘bout the purpose of man
got a gun and a knife and a can of mace - got a badge and a whip to keep you in place
got a Bible and a book and a mind to match - got a deal for you bud - got a plane to catch
got stock and bonds and assets up the ass ...
I’m a trixter baby - a tricky dude - cards up my sleeve - a tongue like glue
so buy my program - sway to my swill - we’ll all make money climbing the hill
the mountain of bodies buried below - the pyramid of power for the controlling few
corporate monsters of the global trade - ecology killers in the city we made
sign up - enlist now - join the team - milk the cow
ALIEN JUNGLE
hey Trixter Dude - you think you’re it? - you think you own that bag of tricks?
it was only on loan - I’ve come to collect - got a job for you son - got a world to wreck
I’m hungry for tissue - hungry for flesh - hungry for your soul and the price it will fetch
hungry for your planet and the subject of sex
I’m an alien species - Morgoathian Rex - converting this world to be my nest
it’s a hostile takeover - meltdown for sure - acid precipitation - poisonous air
slash and burn forests - the taste of fear - fatal consumption of all you hold dear
I’m an alien species - you’re in my path - do my bidding Trixter - then rape the rest
gonna torture your mother - gonna murder your wive
gonna steal your sons - your daughter looks nice
your father is dead - so is your land - just do my bidding - be my hands
ESCAPE
hold it Bud - stop there Dude - this alien species is not the glue
aberrations - twists on truth - perversions of nature - rotten tooth
unsnarl the snake from the self - untangle the ties which bind your elf
shed the skin - slip the grasp - of the Trixter Dude with the toxic stash
dis-attach - break the chain - melt the mold - release the pain
the old way of dying - down the drain - get on board the freedom train
we’re bustin’ through to the other side - escaping the grip of the alien pride
and the lizard brain - fight or flight - choosing neither left nor right
to the frontal lobes - part the veil - escape together - we cannot fail
MONKEY SKULLS
monkey skulls - monkey men - monkey women - monkey kin
George of the Jungle - Tarzan and Jane - televised - survivor game
competition - for satan’s sake - fight or flight - head of the snake
cooperation - works better yet - get together - global net
monkey skulls - monkey men - monkey women - monkey kin
evolution - it’s a fact - constant changes - no turning back
forward progress - beyond base brain - to ego central and the alien game
one step further - quantum leap - 3rd eye vision - the Earth we keep
stewards of nature - share the land - replant the forests with a gentle hand
LIBERATION
those who are waging war on the Mother
merchants of terror throughout the lands
bombs and guns and targets of perception
dividing the world to make a last stand
conquering heroes with tarnished reputations
oil stained fingers grubbing in the sand
dinosaur riders on the way to Armageddon
staking their claim to no man’s land
nothing in common when divided by polarity
Satan vs Satan - two conquering hoards
right against left - absent from the center
lay down your life for the ladies and lords
sacrifice peace on the altar of anger
obliterate truth - propaganda machine
both sides corrupt pretending innocence
while murdering hope with the poppy machine
greed still rules in the palace of the pyramid
controlling your water, your fuel and food
cross their palms with piles of silver
purchase products from the rude and crude
the breath of dragons is far more pleasant
than the smell of corruption behind the scenes
cocaine nazis in the core of our government
washing laundry with the KBG
liberation from the harness of slavery
Rome revisited should be our clue
concentration plans in the home office brewing
constant surveillance of me and you
get my drift? or must I be more pointed?
get an education if you want to be free
learn to share love in a circle of equals
life long friends - world family |
