We live in the land of the lost Where blind men live With fear due to doubts That their worth is a construct Held by the thinnest veneer That could crack then disappear Would chaos prevail if it did? Or might we not build us Some commoner ground? Oh Cauda Pavonis! The phoenix is waiting for birth From the ashes of the usurped If we look within, well what do we see? Economic machinery? Doesn’t the TV lie? Aren’t the hugs and cheers A counterfeit of all our lives? Soul’s view of skies made blue And bright sunlight illuminates The path of gold through hope’s new ford Bridge over deep troubled waters Through a golden dawn of light Throw away all your problems No grey clouds of concern Will take the brand new day Now... Who do you reach for sweet divine? Or hasn’t your mother taught you how? Blinded by greed and astral signs Now come along with me For a different ride Who do you reach for sweet divine? Or hasn’t your mother taught you how? Look up to the sky and astral fires Now come along with me For a different ride Take the golden road, a new sacred home (Look up to the sky) Destination for a different ride Golden open road, a new sacred home (Look up to the sky) Destination for a different ride Behold the transformation A heart of lead to gold Metal purification Bright mercury reborn Colourful evolution Forgotten human soul So burn the imperfections Cauda Pavonis rise! Fly, everything is one! Ride, everything as one!
