MANTRA (Thomas Amacker) Don’t ask me anything I have nothing to complain about She put a smile upon my face She knows how to love with a single kiss Her name’s a mantra I can say I can whisper Again and again When I get confused Her name’s a mantra I can say I can whisper Again and again When I get Insane I’m not afraid… anymore She’s a guide, she’s more than a teacher She’s a soul-mate, she’s more than a lover She knows how to free me with a single kiss I can whisper Again and again When I get confused Her name’s a mantra I can say I can whisper Again and again When I get Insane I’m not afraid… anymore She’s a guide, she’s more than a teacher She’s a soul-mate, she’s more than a lover

THE O MIND (Thomas Amacker) Driving down the freeway Listening to the wind Will I have another chance ? Sweet golden days are over Do I feel loved tonite ? Do I feel loved tonite ? It makes me wonder Do I feel loved tonite ? Do I feel loved tonite ? It makes me wonder Driving down the freeway Won’t be an easy ride Looking for a place to stay A place for me to hide Do I feel loved tonite ? Do I feel loved tonite ? It makes me wonder Do I feel loved tonite ? Do I feel loved tonite ? It makes me wonder I... am... out... of my mind I can feel... I can feel it... I can feel... I’m flyng far away... tonight

Love 02:52

LOVE (Thomas Amacker) What is love ? Love's a gift Said a preacher to the thief Greed is a need you'll rise above What is love ? Love's a guide That stays by your side Love feeds more than pride My love's fading I'm not a forgiver My love's dying I'm just a sinner What is love ? It’s not divine. Said a beggar to the priest Your Lord won’t take my pain Oh, Father, Book’s a lie Faith is a way of gettin’ high My love's fading I'm not a forgiver My love's killing I'm just a sinner Father, we better forget we’re slaves There is no one you can pray for or save Father, we better forget we’re slaves He comes in disguise

LOVE IS REAL (Thomas Amacker) Love is real This mad ideal Can lead to heal All the pain you feel Inside Outside We’re all unsatisfied Love is real Watch the wheel Those laws reveal All you can conceal Inside Outside Ask no question, take no side No matter what they say What you give is never lost, boy No matter what they sell Real love’s always free of cost Love is real Love is real Love is real .. if you want it ! Don’t be blind Don’t close your mind Love unbind All that hides behind Inside Outside Don’t be proud of your pride Walk your path Talk your path Don’t lose your fight ‘gainst your wrath Inside Outside You’ll feel the aftermath Love what’s real Love is real

Incense 03:49
lyrics

INCENSE (Thomas Amacker) I felt something was fading, Did I tell you what I’d seen ? In the air in my dreams Did I tell you what I’d seen ? The Great Spirit gave what they tried to steal from us The good grass and the river that flows to seas We face death with delight We face death with delight White man’s greedy for our lands, for the way we live White man’s greedy for our wives, they come tonight to kill By the light of day, My father fell Now he’s walking In the shadowlands We face death with delight We fought like braves...

Life Is A Laugh 02:43
lyrics

LIFE IS A LAUGH (Thomas Amacker) Your pain seems unreal Still confoundin’ trust and faith You want peace of mind Look God straight in the eye Be free from desire and lust Made with the devil A deal that makes you feel like a wreck Vanished dreams eat you from the inside Now everything tastes like dust It’s a pity ! Such a pity Life should be a laugh What a pity ! It’s a pity ! Such a pity Life should be a laugh Life is a Laugh Killed the best part of yourself Staring at a gun that is loaded You want peace of mind Look God straight in the eye Don't feel the bloody sorrow again Reduce grief to ashes Burn your body on the cross Better wait, Hell’s not a warmer place You’ll see the truth When the smoke’s cleared It’s a pity ! Such a pity Life should be a laugh What a pity ! It’s a pity ! Such a pity Life should be a laugh Life is a Laugh

THE WANDERER (Thomas Amacker) No need for explanations You said you didn't want more That's all No need to give a reason That I won't hear That's all, that's all She's just a woman that I can't forget She's just a woman So wretched, I'm wandering, a jaywalker in the nightly city Torturing myself for the sweet pleasure of pain You coudn't kiss the unknown sleeper That's all You coudn't love the foolish dreamer That's all, that's all She's just a woman that I can't forget She's just a woman So wretched, I'm wandering, a jaywalker in the nightly city Torturing myself for the sweet pleasure of pain Oooooh, I'm a sensitive offender Oooooh, I'm a sensitive offender

This Flood Serene 03:56

THIS FLOOD SERENE (Thomas Amacker) Now you see everything you can't hide And you feel this shame that tastes like cyanide Each bruise you tease is a wild beast you try to tame That you blame but you never name Daddy said you'll belong To a guy, so blonde and strong He'll make you fond Coz' all the lucky ones Dream to swing At the end of a sling But you think there's no thrill That a blade can't heal You'd rather not recall that you love a woman A young maid, a sweet teen doesn't love a woman So you burn on your skin why you should grin, babe Dead people don't bleed, you know you'll drift upon This flood serene...

SACRED WOMAN (Thomas Amacker) I was cured by a sacred woman Who heals my feeble soul I was cured by a sacred woman Who walks a blessing talk Motherheart, I'm gazing at you Won't you hear my voice Grandfather, give me your breath (bress) Guide me through this dark land Aluna See me now

October 04:26
lyrics

OCTOBER (Thomas Amacker) A broken child never cries He’s too afraid to be beaten once more Underneath his tired and cracked smile Lies a dark truth He can’t reveal Coz of a lack of faith Or of a lack of passion For a so-called good or bad reason No matter No matter He’s gone He’s not coming back Oooh, he keeps his money But he gives his body so easily No matter No matter He’s gone He’s not coming back Even the richest and best-born guy Won’t resist starin’ into the deep void Yeah, you’re right Even the most talented of all Could lose his mojo suddenly Well, a handsome face Won’t last a million or a billion days Vanished hustlers can’t dream no more (To be taken for a nice ride) The wisest man of old Maybe needs a needle to fix his mind Is that the true meaning of everything ? Booze seems to make ‘em much more alive
