Lyrics

Illistrum! Odwalla came through the people of the Sun into the grey Haze of the Ghost world, vanished legends crowding breadlines, The people of Sun coated with green chalk, All kinds of warm light between them, Destroyed for the silver queen of the ghost world. Wild beast such as dog's gone mad and lechers, the wanderers. Odwalla came through the people of the Sun to warn them of the Vanished legends and to teach them how they'd made increase their Bounty through the practice of the drum and silent gong as taught by Odwalla Was realized, On seeing one another they transformed themselves into one the hand The other the left the toe of Kuantupa, The one who creates the door Through passage on the hilllock, Kuanbuka. Their purpose? To guide the people of the Sun as they Sought knowledge of the door through the grey Haze. When Seeka saw the sound of the silent gong, Seeka thought to transform itself into the right hand of Odwalla, Where called Bisu, rested while waiting to move into the right big Toe of Kuasupam the one who creates the door Through the passage on the hilllock of Kuambuka Their purpose? To guide the people of the Sun as they seek to leave, Seek to leave, seek to leave, seek to leave the grey Haze. Only Rimumba remain to find the place of the drum and silent gong, Such knowldege would enable him to inherit it to the inner organs of Quasupam the one who creates the door to The passage on the hilllock of Quanbuka. Their purpose? To guide the people of the Sun, the grey Haze Odwalla vibrated the movement of combing gear all-for-you Causing the silent gong to sound Silent, the body whole, the grey Haze. Sun, people, drum, silent gong, hear now... Hear now... Hear now, between us the grey haze, sun, people
