Carnival 04:47
Well how can I keep from going under? When these moods spin on the breeze asunder When the wave crashes down and I go under The storm in my head, I'm deafened by the thunder I think I might be going crazy Am I going crazy? I think I might be going crazy Am I going crazy? Flapping my flippers just to stay in play These pinball emotions bounce me through the day Flapping my flippers just to keep the storm at bay These pinball emotions bouncing through the day Oh the flashing lights, it's like a carnival But you're not alone, no need to be unsure The flashing lights, it's like a carnival But you're not alone, no need to be at war Well how can I keep from going under? When these moods spin on the breeze asunder When the wave crashes down and I go under The storm in my head, I'm deafened by the thunder I think I might be going crazy Am I going crazy? I think I might be going crazy Am I going crazy? Staring down the tracks of this rollercoaster ride Some days like Dr Jekyll, other days you want to hide Staring down the tracks of this rollercoaster ride Some days like Dr Jekyll, other days you want to hide Oh the flashing lights, it's like a carnival But you're not alone, no need to be unsure The flashing lights, it's like a carnival But you're not alone, no need to be at war It's all right now, it's all right now It's all right now, it's all right now It's all right now, it's all right now It's all right now It's all right, all right, all right It's all right now Is it any wonder we're caught in a spin? When attention spans are spread so thin Drawn in by the newest craze But our own minds are still a maze Stressed and stretched to breaking point These shallow attractions just disappoint There's more to life than the carnival More to life than the carnival If you make a break, you won't fall behind You can find true peace in your own mind Step away from this shallow parade Leave behind a life of upgrades Break free from your possessions Go beyond short-term obsessions There's more to life than the carnival More to life than the carnival It’s all right now, it’s all right now You can still breathe on your own Still breathe on your own It’s all right now, it’s all right now You can still breathe on your own Still breathe on your own Still breathe on your own Still breathe on your own Oh the flashing lights, it's like a carnival But you're not alone, no need to be unsure The flashing lights, it's like a carnival But you're not alone, no need to be at war The carousel keeps turning But we can get off anytime From our roller coaster days We can escape the pantomime Escape the pantomime The carousel keeps turning But we can get off anytime From our roller coaster days We can escape the pantomime Escape the pantomime

Latin Cure 05:18
Wise old man once said to me Make the most of this life They'll be times of struggle and moments of strife But you gotta stand strong besides A man like me, you wanna do your best Be true to yourself, never mind the rest Live humbly and treat others with grace And seize the day with a smile on your face Don't waste time, on shadows cast Forgive yourself and forget the past These days are ticking by so fast Life is short, gotta make it last The finest of all life’s flavours Are the ones that are free to savour Turn a blind eye to the world of greed And only take what you really need I'm gonna break free from this illusion I'm gonna live every day like my last I'm gonna dream like I'll live on forever And I know, I know, I know you feel the same The past is just a memory The future isn't set Throw caution to the wind And live without regret Leave behind your past And feel the burden lift All that matters is right now The present is a gift Trust your instinct, never be afraid To swim against the mainstream currents The judgement of others will pass with the wind Don't ever listen if they claim you've sinned Those that mind, don't matter Those that matter, don't mind Those that mind, don't matter Those that matter, don't mind I'm gonna break free from this illusion I'm gonna live every day like my last I'm gonna dream like I'll live on forever And I know, I know, I know you feel the same The past is just a memory The future isn't set Throw caution to the wind And live without regret Leave behind your past And feel the burden lift All that matters is right now The present is a gift True freedom, isn't the modern way Our busy lives keep the moment at bay We've all been sold a dream since birth Wake up now to see your life’s true worth Roll away from control Unlock the secrets deep in your soul Free from a world where illusion is rife The shock of death shakes you back to life Don't believe in fate, cos the future isn't set From a life well lived, you'll have no regret Forget those illusions of heaven in the sky Find your happiness here before you die Death is a friend walking by your side Your eternal companion on this crazy ride Embrace your own mortality And step into reality With the sun on my face The shadows always fall behind With death at my side I am free With the sun on my face The shadows always fall behind With death at my side I am free The past is just a memory The future isn't set Throw caution to the wind And live without regret Leave behind your past And feel the burden lift All that matters is right now The present is a gift Live your life, oh live your life Oh live your life today Leave your life, yeah leave your life Yeah leave your life behind We are free

We are the people and we're taking back the power Not gonna wait another day, another hour We are the people and we're taking back the power Not gonna wait another day Who's gonna plug it when the rains fall down? Smashed TV reflects my frown Tornado spin in a distant land Media mule kicks up the blinding sand On the hour, try to make you cower Shiver all day from the cold media shower Hand-picked emotion tailored to control Open your eyes before they crush your soul Who's against the wall when it all falls down? Take your pick from the puppet pawn clowns Who's that standing on the podium block? Not my leader, not my rock Rat-a-tat-tat on the flap of the fat cat Hurl out the throne where the crook king once sat We are the people and we're standing strong To pull the plug on a government gone wrong We are the people and we're taking back the power Not gonna wait another day, another hour Fooled for many a year, but now our vision is clear Not gonna tolerate a country run on fear We're gonna make it on our own Now that your cover is blown Well our emotions you don't own Seeds of change have now been sown No we ain't gonna comply When every word is a lie You ain't our leader, ain't our king Let me hear the people sing We're gonna make it on our own We're gonna make it on our own The sincere front man, with the ideal plan Shatter his illusion, he's a hollow man They're all the same, well trained in the art Of spinning a yarn to pull on your heart To assert in concert the holiest of desire Adds passionate fuel to the campaign fire But election promises are never fulfilled Six months down the line, people still getting killed You should know by now, that no one wins a war But investors make a fortune, that's for sure Always an agenda, behind the closed door If the price is right, they'll go beyond the law Now the country’s in debt to the banksters The corporations, the respectable gangsters No profit in peace, so nephew fights niece A cycle of suffering, but we can make it cease Expose the truth with the words of this song The resistance is growing its millions strong Throw out the leaders that don't belong Take back the power and right the wrong The powers that be making deals with the devil Two-faced preachers never keep us on the level We've cleared the air, now the writings on the wall Crooked leaders can't brainwash us all We are the people and we're taking back the power Not gonna wait another day another hour We are the people and we're taking back the power Not gonna wait another day another hour We are the people and we're taking back the power Not gonna wait another day another hour We are the people and we're taking back the power Not gonna wait another day We're gonna make it on our own Now that your cover is blown Well our emotions you don't own Seeds of change have now been sown No we ain't gonna comply When every word is a lie You ain't our leader, ain't our king Let me hear the people sing We're gonna make it on our own We're gonna make it on our own We're gonna make it on our own Now that your cover is blown We're gonna make it on our own The seeds of change have now been sown

King Louis 04:49
You you a you a you Like a you you a you Don't wanna be like you-hoo-hoo No, don't wanna be like you-hoo-hoo You wanna be king of your jungle Prowl the terrain with the rage in your eyes Well number one you ain't never safe New contender always hot on your heels Well a man from outta town come, he steal your crown He laid you on the pavement You're so desperate for the respect Now your pride's all black and blue You carry on like this; you carry on like this King Louis You end up in the zoo You always got the loudest bark But your bite don't leave no mark Fighting everyday You wanna be king of your jungle Well King Louis you a lonely soul Pedal your wares, get back on your scooter boy I got nothing to say to a loser, a looter boy What!! You think you got the right to terrorise? Not part of no team, you ain't scoring no tries You never get nowhere telling your lies Spouting out shit that only your fools and cronies buy Now let me clarify You always got the loudest bark But your bite don't leave no mark Fighting everyday You wanna be king of your jungle Well King Louis you a lonely soul Well I'll tell you one thing I'll tell you now That King Louis Is a lonely soul Yeah my watch stops for apes I can't give you no time a day You better believe I got my iron shirt Listen to me when I say You is so desperate for the respect Now your prides all black and blue Carry on like this King Louis You end up in the zoo You always got the loudest bark But your bite don't leave no mark Fighting everyday You wanna be king of your jungle Well King Louis you a lonely soul Yeah King Louis you a lonely soul I don't wanna be like you, be like you-hoo I don't wanna be like you, be like you-hoo I don't wanna be like you, be like you Don't wanna walk like you, talk like you You know it's true, you know it's true

Her name was Isabella Born under their umbrella Raised in darkened servitude Trapped inside their cellar Into the church she was hurled Nun the wiser to the world Her life was always simple With just habits and a wimple The price of her purity Suppressed her femininity Imprisoned by the walls of Her faith in Christianity She only finds her freedom In the darkness of her mind Each day desire lusting To leave it all behind Her shadow takes her places She only dreamt before The dragon that she chases Takes her beyond the law Fell from her simple perch To break free from the church Went against the grain No longer to abstain Thrashing through the fires Of her repressed desires Finds her heaven on earth And leaves behind their hell Exploring the darkness Hidden in her mind Steps into the shadow Of the pleasure she does find Her true self awakening In the face of the reckoning She rides her black horse The shadow is beckoning Her shadow takes her places She only dreamt before The dragon that she chases Takes her beyond the law No longer to abide No longer to confess Now she is beyond the law Now she screams for more Free from their reign of terror She steps out from their umbrella Her true self born again The awakening of Isabella Devouring her shadow Let's it come to light Steps into the new dawn Of her own truth burning bright Wine flows like water To Gods own daughter Restless here before me Wild rushes cut her free And she dances Naked in the flames Her shadow takes her places She only dreamt before The dragon that she chases Takes her beyond the law No longer to abide No longer to confess Now she is beyond the law Now she screams for more

I've been down that road before Now I'm left, wanting something more I dream each night of somewhere new To feast my eyes on a different view To run my train clear off the rails A change of pace to heal my ails No satisfaction in this home town All these roads that I've walked down Leave behind, all I’ve known For a chance to live, a chance to grow I've been down that road before Now I'm left, wanting something more Far from home, I have fled A new night’s sky, shining overhead Every night in a different bed Home is where I lay my head I wake each day, somewhere new Pack my bag, put on my shoes Can't stay long just passing through Always searching for something new Hear a whisper in the air Let your wings carry you there Follow your heart to the end of the earth Searching for your life’s true worth Catch the wind and start to sway Let it take you far away We're not coming back ‘Til we find our way These longest days are yours and mine So ride the train to the end of the line Climb aboard and forget the blues All you need are your two shoes Pass the point of no return Bright our flames will always burn Set a course for clearer skies And see the world through wider eyes Ride the train Ride the train to the end of the line Ride the train Never know, oh never know what you might find Sever your ties and feel alive Let it go, let it go No need to hold your life so tight Days are short got to live them right Here's your ticket, we can afford To cut the cord and climb aboard Pulling away from the station We can ride ‘til the break of dawn To unknown horizons we are drawn Learn all we can from the people we find Leaving our patterns far behind A change of scene, a new frontier Stare into the lake, the mind is clear In the depths, we'll find the truth That we've been chasing all our youth I've been down that road before Now I'm left, wanting something more Escape the tempest of modern life Leave behind your trouble and strife Surrender to nature’s attraction Searching for true satisfaction Feel more alive than ever before The freedom lets the spirit soar This world Was made for you and me These longest days are yours and mine So ride the train to the end of the line Climb aboard and forget the blues All you need are those two shoes Pass the point of no return Bright our flames will always burn Set a course for clearer skies To see the world through wider eyes Ride the train Ride the train to the end of the line Ride the train Never know, oh never know what you might find

Rising Sun 05:01
A rose in the darkness, the beauty of the night Untouched grass beneath our feet The burning horizon lights our way As we climb that hill, you see The light inside me shines, I'm free The light in your eyes lets you go And I saw… The rising sun In your eyes The rising sun A new day was born today And I wanna share it with you We walked and walked and walked and walked Out of step is not a crime The road may twist and turn But the warrior will always learn As we paddle out from the shore False desires are no more At the mercy of the sea I have no choice but just to be I looked out and I saw… The rising sun In your eyes The rising sun A new day was born today And I wanna share it with you Looking clearly now I see Splashed clean and now I see Looking clearly and now I see Myself reflected in you Floating away…

The Truth 04:56
Swim back to the shore Swim back to the shore It took me years to understand How you could silently take my hand It took me years to understand How you could drag me down your path of life It took me years to break the ties Smash the mirrors to see the lies It took me years to break the ties And view the world through un-blurred eyes All I want is the truth All I want is the truth All I want is the truth All I want is the truth Drowning in a sea of temptation Jumping at every new sensation New toys bring short lived elation Filling your life with complications Swim to shore on this new land Rise above and make a stand Shaking off this greed delusion Cutting through their weak illusion All I want is the truth All I want is the truth All I want is the truth All I want is the truth Well a man never had no troubles no more When he saw through the illusion and let his mind soar Kicked at the shadows and found nothing but air Broke from the grind to see the facts laid bare The puppets on the strings that they pull from the heavens Fake heavens that they want you to buy Don't believe all the hype They're all just trying to sell you your life All I want is the truth All I want is the truth All I want is the truth All I want is the truth

Overlooking the city at night The dragon’s veins lit up by street light Sit on the bonnet I'll spin you a sonnet Steal a moment, from this warm twilight Engine growling, behind the grille Won't leave this life ‘til we've had our fill Pop the pill and await the thrill Got a racy model with a sexy chassis A little bit crazy, a little bit sassy She turns into a minx after a couple of drinks Got her mind set on her bedroom high jinks This world has become all mirrors and smoke So we spark our clarity and take another toke We got the music playing make your mind resonate And the booming bass to make your body vibrate Yeah we race, race, race cos you wanna feel alive Scorching the highway on a midnight drive Listening to Hendrix, seducing his guitar You can only go so far in the back seat of the car Fasten your seatbelt for this midnight drive What's the point in living if you're not really alive? Fasten your seatbelt for this midnight drive What's the point in living if you're not really alive? Oh all I wanna do is play with you Tearing up the highway going ninety two Hot wire your desire let the music seduce Put the pedal to the metal and turn you loose Double droppin’, ain't stoppin' on this all night ride Flying saucer pupils, yeah they're nation wide Four to the floor and you scream for more For you my girl, can't help but break the law Woah oh wah oh wah oh! Ride tonight on a midnight high Woah oh wah oh wah oh! Gonna get our kicks before we die Lying there in her underwear Passionate fruits and a juicy pear A wink of her eye lets me know she's feeling sly Trace fingers up her thigh, kissing innocence goodbye A bite of her lip as I stroke her hip Tightens her grip as I let my head dip Fingers do the walking but her eyes scream for more Wide-eyed desire as I put my foot to the floor Yeah we race, race, race cos you wanna feel alive Scorching the highway on a midnight drive Listening to Hendrix, seducing his guitar You can only go so far in the back seat of the car Fasten your seatbelt for this midnight drive What's the point in living if you're not really alive? Fasten your seatbelt for this midnight drive What's the point in living if you're not really alive? Sway lady sway As we kiss at my door Stay lady stay I know you're aching for more Play lady play As we prowl on the floor Lay lady lay Let's settle the score Your passion sparks and your legs start to smoulder The sweat drips, like ice cream solder Fires reflected in the eye of the beholder Feel the flames’ rising as my thrust gets bolder Finger tips turn to nails as I run you off the rails A wild-eyed tempest with the storm in her sails Burning brightly we fly into the sun Swallowed by the flames as we merge as one Woah oh wah oh wah oh! Ride tonight on a midnight high Woah oh wah oh wah oh! Gonna get our kicks before we die Woah oh wah oh wah oh! Ride tonight on a midnight drive Woah oh wah oh wah oh! Gonna get our kicks before we die Yeah we race, race, race cos you wanna feel alive Scorching the highway on a midnight drive Listening to Hendrix, seducing his guitar You can only go so far in the back seat of the car Fasten your seatbelt for this midnight drive What's the point in living if you're not really alive? Fasten your seatbelt for this midnight drive What's the point in living if you're not really alive?

You know you can relax now, now the day is done As we drift to the horizon with the setting sun Lay here with me in kaleidoscope dreams Let our bodies be soothed under the warm sun beams Majestic birds gliding in the sky Recline in comfort as we watch them fly Our open minds, so easy to please Mesmerised by a feather on the breeze A delicate dash across a stepping stone To rest on the rocks of nature’s own throne Sitting in peace, doing nothing at all Our minds cleansed watching the clear waterfall You know it's beautiful, Why don't you come out to play? No chores left to do On a day like today Take your time, no need to rush On this summer Sunday We couldn't get much higher On a day like today Walk a while through this golden field You be my wisdom and I'll be your shield Rest a while to share bread and wine Your sun-kissed eyes make your smile shine Lay here with me in kaleidoscope dreams Let our bodies be soothed under the warm sun beams Watching fluffy animals escape from the zoo Tracing their outlines in the great big blue Your rainbow is my staircase to the sky We couldn't be higher, now we've learnt to fly You know it's beautiful, Why don't you come out to play? No chores left to do On a day like today Take your time, no need to rush On this summer Sunday We couldn't get much higher On a day like today Couldn't get any higher No we couldn't get any higher today Couldn't get any higher No we couldn't get any higher today Couldn't get any higher No we couldn't get any higher today Couldn't get any higher No we couldn't get any higher today Lay here with me in kaleidoscope dreams Let our bodies be soothed under the warm sun beams Lay here with me in kaleidoscope dreams Let our bodies be soothed under the warm sun beams

When you're cast adrift on a lonely ocean Let the wind set your sails in motion Away from the shore your ship may roam But the lighthouse of love will guide you back home Together we are giants, standing tall Always a helping hand whenever we fall Our sisters and brothers, we all stand strong Side by side, as we're singing this song Light up the fire and gather around Keep it burning all through the night The glow of the flames will light our way And the beat of our hearts, won't lead us astray On the breath of chance, our feathers are blown But through it all we are never alone The mighty drum beats inside your chest Giving you the courage to conquer your quest Through every fight, the light keeps us strong Through the darkest of nights we'll be singing this song The glow of the flame will light our way And the heat of our hearts, keeps the demons at bay Light up the fire and gather around Keep it burning all through the night The glow of the flames will light our way And the beat of our hearts won't lead us astray The wisdom of our fathers rings clear in our mind To bring us strength in the challenges we find We carry the torch of the blessed departed To fuel the fires of the dreams that they started Don't let the memory fade Don't let the memory fade Don't let the memory fade Don't let it fade… Light up the fire and gather around Keep it burning all through the night The glow of the flames will light our way And the beat of our hearts Won't lead us astray Light up the fire and gather around Keep it burning all through the night The glow of the flames will light our way And the beat of our hearts Won't lead us astray

about

An organic, live-sounding album, Decoding the Illusion is a reaction to the barrage of negative signals we receive each day in modern society. The endless corporate slogans, the myriad of false idols, the political actors that have elected themselves to dictate our fortunes and the out-dated religions which try to make us feel guilty for being who we are.
Our goal is to raise awareness and consciousness. To help unite people by breaking these negative patterns and neutralise the widespread fear-fuelled mass media control, by spreading positive vibrations to the population.
