Lyrics: Hungry Ghost EP “Hungry Ghost” America she dreams Uh o Uh o Cracking at the seams Uh o Uh o She ain’t what she used to be Oh what she used to be A spring under the filthy streets is calling you A voice cries out “this is all a dream don’t let it swallow you” The pure heart beats like a golden flame Like a chariot with wings calling out your name America feels shame Uh o Uh o Faded stars yet vain Uh o Uh o The curtain falls as the actors slowly go insane A spring under the filthy streets is calling you A voice cries out “this is all a dream don’t let it swallow you” The pure heart beats like a golden flame Like a chariot with wings change shall come And now you’ve found something special to be Na na na na . . . One more try is all they’re giving you So make up your mind One more try is all they’re giving you So make up your mind Cause Time time is running thin Here comes the exorcism of America Are you American? (Ok you are) So you are possessed Are you ready then OK Get Up Now Seduced by the whores of culture You have betrayed the veracity of your soul Get out greed Get out pain Move on shame Cast out addictions Your tiresome consuming You hungry ghost I see you Easy now hubris Away prejudice Oh sorrows of industry Your misbegotten dreams of suburban paradise (the artificial lights) “Sophia Song” Love the terror in your heart All your glory Serpent rising body and soul All your longing There’s a change coming quickly for you All that’s holy Is it an act of grace or is it the Law To her power we must return Dark becomes light We cannot be saved till she returns From the water She is the blessed elixir of life All that’s holy The pendulum swings and like begets like Sophia Sophia Sophia Contact information: Label: zarathustrarecors@comcast.net Publicist: howard wuelfing Radio promotion: spectre entertainment Management and booking: steven cohn eli7inc@comcast.net Produced by sophe lux and sean flora (the shins wincing the night away) Mixed by jeff staurt saltzman (death cab for cutie) Sophe Lux is a dynamic art-rock opera ensemble from Portland Oregon.
