lyrics

Tribe:
You go one day
You go one day
You go one day alone

Alice:
The red endless sky in the trail of the wild
Where the child still can dance unafraid
Of shame or of lies only whispers of fire
Stroke the night and to sleep gently lay

The Grace with her speed and her wild sweeping teeth
That you race to the sisters you love
The brothers who cry, calling out to the sky
Through the woods in whose womb you are one

The red endless sky where the trails of time lie
As the paths where your spirit will roam
The child and her tribe and the kiss of the wild
Til the fires of friends beckons you home

Alexander:
One day a stranger came with a message and gift. The message was that the Angels needed a Chosen One to perform a Great Task. Only one of the healthiest of the tribe had the constitution to perform the Great Task and the blood that would allow the gift, a sandy drug, when taken to move them through time to where the Angels needed them.

Alice:
A stranger now come from the Angels above
With a task for the daughter, the girl
And thus it is i who the red endless sky
Must begone for a strange future world

Tribe:
You go one day
You go one day
You go one day alone

Alexander:
So Alice took the sand, a drug she must always be on in order to stay in the future time. Every 6 hours without fail she must take more until the task is completed. Thus Alice was propelled through time to a strange, foreign place called New Albion.

Cama’s attempt to commune with higher beings failed; she only found Decadent Dottie. Together they roamed, indulging in dangerous forms of psycho-neural self-exploration which Cama hoped would present the key to her people’s further evolution. It only led to her destroying her people so that one of their pets could evolve. She sat in her former civilization's rubble and listened to Paul Shapera. ... more
