1.	Seasons In Space 03:11	lyrics	buy track
On an island, close to the sun. A tiny rock, we’re living upon. An island among billions in space. Home to the human race. Seasons in space.. In my chest, a vast dark ocean, In the middle, there’s a rock, sometimes warm, sometimes frozen. Seasons in space. Your neighbour is crying, and crying is a sin. His wife pleading at your door, but you won’t let her in. You’re afraid to get up, afraid to stand tall. There are parents in your head, and there’s an eye on the wall, Whoever is looking would certainly mind, cause romance is forbidden, it’s illegal to be kind. Seasons in space.
2.	UFO 03:16	lyrics	buy track
UFOs, in the dark of your mind. UFOs, crossing space and time. Flying objects that you have to stay awake to observe. Flown by aliens coming this way to serve. Serving destruction. Serving positivity. Serving life. Serving negativity. UFOs, in the dark of your mind. UFOs, crossing space and time. Toothy aliens growing next to your heart. Hungry creatures feeding on you for a start. His brother, a soothing angel, is spreading his wings. You are the Son and the Father to even stranger things. Going by the name of Shiva, Brahman, Kali, Vishnu, Allahu, Jehovah, Mammon, n’Marx. Mao, Donar, Wothen, Isis and Seth, Mickey Mouse and Minnie and Lucifer too (how do you do?). Mummy and Daddy and tiny weeny you. Happy companions all down the line. We’re dong fi ne, on the dark carpet of night, we shine. Cause we are UFOs, in the dark of our minds. UFOs, passing through space and time.
3.	Maze 04:58	lyrics	buy track
Screaming on the wind, you’re trying to hide. Stumbling exhausted through the maze Fear and sorrow at your side. Joy lost somewhere in the haze. Then the music calls your feet music calls your feet. You are.. dancing… at the edge. Dancing at the edge at the end of time. Cowards guarding the gate, against onslaught of cunning and hate. They stay in, they don’t make any rounds, to check out any rumour or suspect sound. No light shines brighter, than the one being born in the dark. Your world starts right here, lit up by dancing, joyful sparks. Now the music calls your feet. Music calls your feet. We are.. dancing at the edge at the end of time. The King in his high tower room, in the hall of mirrors, and cameras zoom In on his well rehearsed pose. His greedy lying written in prose, showcase of how to fake close.
4.	Hopelessness Is A Whispering Thief 04:12	lyrics	buy track
Darkness remains , to be unravelled. I’m straining my probing eye, as I travel. Searching too long and too hard, making too much noise, chasing tiny creatures away with the tone of my voice. Night is approaching, air is growing cool. Content in the midst of the wood as an innocent fool. Leaning back on a treetrunk, watching the fi re. Something curious is sneaking up drawn by my desire. Walking all alone in the wild wild wood. Walking all alone in the wild wild wood. Don’t get up, don’t turn around to stare. Cause all will be lost, and there will be nothing there. Mysteries will approach if you don’t try to look. Stretches of shining white makes a readable book. Nightly mother of touch, taste, smell and sound. Bless me tonight, wherever I am bound. If I was a drop of rain on a summer leaf, if I was an icecapped mountain, maybe I would feel no grief. Walking all alone in the wild wild wood. Walking all alone in the wild wild wood. Road is long, breath is brief. Walking through pleasures, walking through grief. Climbing is hard, rest a relief. Hopelessnes is a whispering thief. Try to carry water, courage and mirth, gifts you were given long before birth. Share what you have in your heart and purse. Dream of the stars, accept you’re on earth.
5.	Hollow Halls 05:11	lyrics	buy track
Starfi lled night, climbing stairs. Huge space, fi lled with empty chairs. Filled with nagging nothing, the engines hum. By myself, moving to a thudding drum. I will run, run, run, run these hollow halls. Run, run, run, past echoing walls. Run, run, run, drawn to your heat, that calls me. In a vast and darkened ship, and it’s running with no sound. Noone ever told me exactly where it’s bound. If I have to go alone, stumbling through the night. I don’t think I can make it, in the absence of your light. Standing at the threshold, freezing night at my back. Please let me in, you’re the warmth and fi re that I lack. I will run, run, run, run these hollow halls. Run, run, run, past echoing walls. Run, run, run, drawn to your heat, that calls me. My heart works the nightshift alone.
6.	Cravings 04:14	lyrics	buy track
I see ghosts in the sunlight. Mirages at night. Whoever whispers, is nowhere in sight. I plead without reason, beg for release. Laugh at disaster, and I whisper please, please... I’ve got cravings, for your love. Cravings… for your love. The way you whisper, the tingle from your touch, the sweet, sweet strength of your gasping, clinging clutch. I awake in the dark, dripping wet. Shivers of fever and frost I moan and I sweat. I’ve got cravings, for your love. Cravings… for your love. I want you more and more each day, more and more each night. Love is the spirit chasing winter away. The crows of frost take (to) fl ight.
7.	Dancing Darkness 02:52	lyrics	buy track
High on a cliff, overlooking the bay. There is a lighthouse, made for anyone who strays. Where a fi re howls and melts away the frost, seeping in from the vast desert I crossed. You can’t go home, ever again. Out on the ocean, a leaving merchant ship, I’m sinking forever, as the sun starts to slip, into the waves, into the deep, dark sea. What a thief time turned out to be. You can’t go home, ever again. Stars are eaten by a big black bug, Big black bug, big black bug. Hungry. Drinking blood from a yammering jug, Yammering jug, yammering jug. Thirsty The waves are alive, a howling hord. Hands hacked at the rail, they’re trying to board. Stay away you demons, my name is Majnun. I’m the mightiest djinn, I’m in love with the moon. You can’t go home, ever again

9.	Frozen Light 03:53	lyrics	buy track
Time is heading for zero, surrounded by night. Courage is my hero in the fading light. Everything slowing down in a cloud of rays, containing the frozen light of the dying days. Then time, time will be no more. Will be stranded on the shore, of eternity. Love is my escape route from the vacuum of endless space. Courage my lifeboat and spacesuit, death may be a passing phase. Science has predicted that all will be lost. So I’m heading home to you, through numbing frost, then time, time, will be no more. Will be stranded on the shore, of eternity.
10.	Evil 03:42	lyrics	buy track
Woe to you, hypocrites, you without justice and mercy, straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel. Frightened faces, staring eyes. Ravens rising, I hear distant cries. Still the same game, being played. Better be aware, better be afraid. Feeding on the good, it’s Evil. Hiding behind a hood, Evil, Evil . Money and power, greed and fame. Inciting incest, denial of shame. I hear them laughing at virtue, breaking the strong. Raising zombies, worshipping wrong. Five merry children, walking towards the wood. I hear them singing, as they leave the neighbourhood. Oh sweet wonders, oh temporary sparks, this wood is a real one, it´s no cultivated park. Amongst the growing shadows, camoufl ached in green. Playing on his reed fl ute, eager, calm and keen. We are freezing in the cold wind, as we chant and sway. Shadows darken in the glow closing off the day. Feeding good, it’s Evil. Hiding behind a hood, Evil, Evil .
11.	Forever On An Island 02:52	lyrics	buy track
Starting off, on our journey through space. Starting off, every creed and every race. Mothership Earth is in fl ight, heading for the stars tonight. Everyone’s aboard, no alien in sight. We’ll be forever on an island, forever in the sun. Forever on an island, forever as one. Pushing on, into seas of dark. Pushing on, onto eternity’s sparks. Danger and wonder all around, cosmic rays and light. It’s a one way ticket to more, let’s get higher than kites.
12.	Fools 03:48	lyrics	buy track
What is this thing, what is this thing, Humming all around? What is this thing, what is this thing, That chains me with a golden crown? Making me weak, making me strong, It ties me down and sweeps me along. Oooh..only fools ask, what is love. So..lift me higher, lift me higher, lift me higher Oh, lift me high Sirens, from the distant spaces of my mind calling from dark and hidden places down my spine. Keeps my heart howling, and my soul listening in. Don’t be a fool no more, those who are brave are those who win
13.	Wasteland 03:16	lyrics	buy track
Oooh I’m so tired of attending, the same show. People bragging about, who they know. People telling me, where they go, for vacation.. and how much they care for sufferation and how much they long to be just good.. and what good they would do if they only could, get away, get away. Cause there must be a land beyond this wasteland, where the waves break on golden sand. Waves break on golden sand. I am turning on, magic tele-vision. I am looking upon.. soldiers on a mission. Looking ‘pon powerful people lying, through their teeth, smiling, scratching their crotches down beneath. Smug and sheltered in these wealthy nations.. Thriving on loot, sex and sensation. Get away, get away. Cause there must be a land beyond this wasteland, where the waves break on golden sand. Waves break on golden sand.
14.	God´s Sadistic Crime 04:38	lyrics	buy track
I wear my warrior outfi t, I’m thinking of you. My dark dyed tuareg headcloth, my skin turning blue. Million hazy miles ahead, wading through sand. Red rocks, withered bones, once a fertile land. In a faroff marble tower, a little girl is kept within. Crying in the desert, weeping on the wind. In my path stands the angel with the fl aming sword, as the twilight whispers in awe of the Lord. World turned upside down, an hourglass counting time. Sand slowly trickling through, it’s God’s sadistic crime. As the last grain hangs suspended, everything turns still, and still will be forever, according to his will. Safely back in comfort, forgetting where I’ve been. Fighting obstructing angels, wrestling hostile Djinns. Now I’m sleeping by the starfi lled well. No dreams of heaven, no fear of hell.

FROZEN LIGHT:

S a t y e n d r a n a t h B o s e & A l b e r t E i n s t e i n
Once upon a time, close to a hundreds years ago,
two gentlemen predicted that atoms could be frozen
to a standstill. Inside this still, chill cloud, they said,
even light would come to a halt. Photons frozen and
acting as an occult spear of light. A ghostly glow
hanging in midst of a crystal cloud..

In time, other wise men and women made this
prediction into reality. By 2009 they know how to
freeze light inside a Bose-Einstein condensat. From
300000km pr. second to zero movement, in no time.
What is constant these days, might I ask?
The trick is getting the atoms inside this condensat
to become very cold. Freezing them to almost
absolute low point of temperature. Colder than deep
space.

This involves shooting photons at each and every
one of the shaking, spinning and bouncing wild
atoms. Not only hitting them spot on, but also
hitting them with the right colour at the right
moment. Rainbow warriors in motion at subatomic
level, as I would say.
Mindspinning, this magic is.

Scientists these days also predict. Universe itself will
someday be no more. Every object an isolated, lone
entity, icy in eternal darkness. Frozen light. Or?
W.H.
