Behold: the Star Towers of the Electric Castle! See how it embraces the sky! How insignificant
|
the mere mortal, dwrfed by the majesty of its electric edifice! But first, my seven searchers -
|
you must meander through the verdant vines of the Garden of Emotions. Succomb to its allure.
|
Breathe deep the intoxicating aroma of endless, entwined emotions...

[A. IN THE GARDEN OF EMOTIONS]
|
|
[hippie]
|
it's kinda groovy
|
in this world of fantasy

without a care or woe

Amon-ra, have you come to seal my fate?
|
in the garden of emotions
|
free my ka, how much longer must I wait?
|
in the garden of emotions
|
|
[hippie]
|
I roam the universe
|
in cosmic meditation
|
to find my inner me
|
I'm getting high on love
|
and spiritual vibrations
|
to set bad karma free
|
|
