In the land of milk and honey, time to live, no cares about money. An ageless life, nectar, ambrosia, Garden of Eden, Jahweh and Asherah. Lady of the Sea, Lady of the Lake, Nimue, Elaine, Nyneve, Evienne. Lost in time, peace and euphoria. food of the gods, amonita muscaria.

Yeah. They're sifting through your email on the servers in the cloud and transcribing every thought that you dare to mutter out loud. In the listening stations of GCHQ they're checking every keyword to keep an ear on you. And they're monitoring your movements, GPS on your mobile phone, or tracking you from cell to cell to know just where you've gone. There's no escape, they're watching you, building a profile of everyone who dares to breathe or live a life a while. They're out there with their cameras, checking on your speed. CCTV on every corner, watching you in the street. Face recognition, location data, credit cards, e-banks, can't even spend a penny without them on your back. From online shopping profiles and membership of sites they know what you like and think, they've got you bang to rights. There's no escape, it's all-pervasive, the Thought Police are here and as Orwell said in '84, that's a thought too far. For every Facebook comment, or photo, or mood is stored on giant servers where, you bet, it'll be used with data mining techniques to find nuggets of your mind. They dig and dig until they have what it was they wanted to find as leverage against you, to twist you against your will. So, watch your back and watch your front and don't you dare to bear them ill.

A Gallon of cider and a girl like you, that was all it took. Fooling around when I looked in your eyes and I was hooked. They say that love is blind, but I could see true warmth and endless depth simultaneously.

Grip 04:19
Now tell me you're not heading anywhere, head up, breathe some fresh air and believe me when I say isn't yesterday far enough? Does blue diminish your green? Are you telling me you're too lost to speak? And why have your enemies disappeared? You have to find a way out of misery, try again, sadness isn't destiny, and then believe me when I tell you... See, there's only one life to live. Are you really planning to live it in sadness? Try getting out there, get some fresh air, do this and that, don't live a life of dispair. Or, do you really want that? Now get out there and show them you wanna live, and you must forget, I know it sounds cruel, but someday you will thank me. Yes, someday you will thank me. Because yesterday is far enough and blue must not diminish your green. You will tell me you weren't too lost to speak, and you were the reason your enemies disappeared.

All The Way 03:58
Yeah. Watching how it goes and how we're acting out our lives, how we behave and how we're pulling out the knives. Centre of attention's what some people want to be and to get what they want they spread their misery by plotting and scheming until they wrest control and impose their wills on other hearts and souls. Shouting out their orders, but they're never satisfied. Never good enough for them, no matter how hard you try. So, the question that I have and what I'm asking you is, in the face of tyranny, what's a free soul supposed to do? To stand and to fight might increase the misery, but to bow down before kowtows to tyranny. Follow your heart and stand up for your beliefs. Stay true to yourself and know that it will lead to appreciation from those you know and love, coz that's the only thing that really matters in your life. It's the people that support and want to work with you that are full of love and have hearts that are true. So, show them your heart and show them your love and show them they're the ones that you're thinking of. When it comes to your expression and all that you hold dear, escape from the oppression and remember those near. And do it for yourself and do it for them and do it for real and be genuine. And always do remember and never do forget all the generous and good and lovely people that you've met.

A sea of colours everywhere. Break the silence if you dare. Makes you wanna stand and stare. Sure it ain't no standard fare. A sight to take your breath away. Call it celebration day. A picture money couldn't pay. Oh, you know you gotta stay. There's been no hand of mankind here. No thought to design or to steer. An untamed beauty without peer. That comes to pass this time of year.
