1. Gates of the DuatG

My heart is mine in the House of Hearts
The doors of the sky are opened for me

I will go in and out
  Photon domination, supersonic turbulation
I will go here and there
  Cloud stability, cloud integrity
At all the gates of the Duat
  All the gates of the... in and out at all the
At all the gates of the Duat
  All the gates of the Duat
  All of the gates of the Duat

Give me bread from the house
Give me bread from the house
From the House of Cool Water
From the House of Cool Water

  I am going in and out at
  All of the gates of the Duat

My heart is mine in the House of Hearts
The doors of the sky are opened for me

I will go in and out
I will go here and there
At all the gates of the Duat
At all the gates of the Duat

2. HydrogenG

So big, so weak,
but everybody listens
when gravity speaks

Be strong, come along,
be a part of the gang
Slow down, hang around,
come together with a bang

Come on down, it’s a mutual attraction
Come on down, there’s a star under construction

Everybody’s singing the song of creation
Everybody’s doing the spiral tuning

At the origin in a cloud of hydrogen
Feels good to be falling,
gravity’s calling

From one atom to another,
from sister to brother
We are hydrogen

Come to this nebula,
come to this place
Four hundred light years
from earth into space

Listen to the sound of the spiral wave turning
A protostar dreams of hydrogen burning

Everybody’s singing the song of creation
Everybody’s doing the spiral tuning

Listen to the sound of the spiral wave turning
A protostar dreams of hydrogen burning

So big, so weak,
but everybody listens
when gravity speaks

Atoms fall hard and fast.
There’ll be fusion at last.
Ooh, hydrogen
Mmmm, hydrogen

3. FoundationG

Lay down the foundation
Lay down the groove
In your heart, lay it down

Over and over, in your heart
Over and over again, in your heart

Step into this world of time
Disperse the darkness
and make it shine
Take these charms
From wherever they may be

Lay down the foundation
Lay down the groove
In your heart, lay it down

Over and over, in your heart
Over and over again, in your heart

Impress this moment on your soul
Make your mark for one and all
Hear the beat, listen to the call
(REPEAT)

Lay down the foundation
Lay down the groove
In your heart, lay it down
In your heart, lay it down
In your heart, lay it down

4. Deep and Strong

Let it grow.
Let it grow.
Let it grow.

Here we are together
So in love with each other
Everything is precious and new
And we can do
anything we want to do

CHORUS:
Let your love grow deep and strong
Like the roots of the oak tree
Let it be everything it can be
Let it spread far and wide and all around
Let it reach deep inside, into the ground

No lightning or thunder
Can tear us asunder
This life on Earth can be so fine
We keep growing all the time
We’ll hold firm, weather any storm
Believing in each other
Will keep our love from harm

CHORUS

As above, so below.
We’ll go as far as we have to go
Like roots seeking water.
Like the lonely heart searching for its lover,
We’ll take strength from down under

CHORUS

Let it grow.
Let it grow.
Let it grow.

5. No Place (Song of Atum)

Once I had no tribe
Once I had no people
Once I was alone in the waters of Nun

And I could find no place to stand
I could find no place to stand

There was a time
When there was only ocean
There was a time
When there was only water
There was no land. There was no land.

And I could find no place to stand
I could find no place to stand
Stand, stand, I will stand
Stand, stand, I will stand

Once I lived in solitude
In the company of the uncreated
Once I was alone in the waters of Nun

And I could find no place to stand
I could find no place to stand
Stand, stand, I will stand
Stand, stand, I will stand

Once I had no tribe
Once I had no people
Once I had no tribe

6. Wizard

It looks like Armageddon
And the start of a new heaven
This is as real as real can be
And this stage
reaches out to infinity

There are colors on the wall,
The emotions they recall
Are everywhere, filling the hall

CHORUS:
There’s a wizard in motion
Every wave of his hand
stirs my imagination
And his eyes mesmerize me
Like the waves upon the ocean
He plays every part
And he commands my attention

The rhythm of his voice
Feels like it’s beating in my heart
The rhythm of his voice
Feels like it’s beating in my heart

I’m in love. Swept away.

The rhythm of his voice
Feels like it’s beating in my heart
The rhythm of his voice
Feels like it’s beating in my heart

I feel the surge of his power
moving down the line
He can stop time
change a minute into an hour

CHORUS

There’s a wizard in motion
A wizard in motion

7. Inundation

I dreamed about the Inundation
I dreamed about regeneration
I dreamed about the Inundation
And the waters of re-creation

Summer days and the sun is strong
Summer time and the days are long
The ground is hard and the earth is dry
Women stir and babies cry

I dreamed about the Inundation
I dreamed about regeneration
I dreamed about the Inundation
And the waters of re-creation

Summer days and the sun is strong
Summer time and the days are long
People taking shelter from the sweltering heat
The time is near for the cool and the sweet

I dreamed about the Inundation
I dreamed about regeneration
I dreamed about the Inundation
And the waters of re-creation

Four days coming.
Dog star rising.
Sirius, Sirius, Sirius

It was a wet dream
It was a wet scene

And dreams flow. Dreams flow.
And dreams flow. Dreams flow.

8. Khepri (Rising Sun)

We are roots in the mud.
We are stems in the water.
We are leaves in the air.
We are flowers in the sun.

Khepri, Kheper, Kheperu, Kheper-kuy, m Kheperu, m Kheperu
(I became, the becoming became, I have become in becoming)

Before there was time,
before there was space
Before there was day,
before there was night
Before there was black,
before there was white
There was one in the sea of Nun

I who have no name.
I am just the same.

Khepri, Kheper, Kheperu, Kheper-kuy, m Kheperu, m Kheperu

We are roots in the mud.
We are stems in the water.
We are leaves in the air.
We are flowers in the sun.

Before there was me,
before there was you
Before there was earth,
before there was sky
Before there was low,
before there was high
There was one in the Sea of Nun

I who have no name.
I am just the same.

Khepri, Kheper, Kheperu, Kheper-kuy, m Kheperu, m Kheperu
