Lyrics[]
There is danger ahead. But do not be afraid. For I am with you - like breath itself. Darkness will lead to light - colour will bleed into the night. Beautiful colours, the like of which you have never seen. Let the dream of confusion lead you into the virgin light! Be gone! Be all-seeing, be brave... Be gone!
Amazing flight in space[]
BARBARIAN:
I'm looking 'round bewildered
Is this some dark and evil jest?
What brought me to this cursed keep
Perchance some crazy quest
Gods forbid I am no coward!
Pitted against monster, man or ghost,
I'd wield my blade with crimson gusto
For I'm the proud barbarian host!
- HIPPIE (CHORUS):
- Hey dude, you're so uncool
- But hey, that's all right
- Like there's no need to get uptight
- My eyes reflect the stars
- And a smile lights up my face
- We're on an amazing flight in space
BARBARIAN:
I shook city walls and towers
Wreaking havoc in the streets
Burned palaces of cowrd'ly kings
Not a one stood up to me
Bear bloody banners in blazing skies
Brandish battle-axe and broadsword!
Let drums of glory sound like thunder!
Hail!! Barbaric warlord!!
- HIPPIE (CHORUS)
