I’ve been thinking about burning down the cosmos
I’ve been thinking about setting this world aflame
You know the whole damn thing feels like a sick joke
So I’ll dive into the right side of my brain
Has the sun cracked like an egg over my head?
Has it burned every memory inside my brain?
Hang a uranium cross over my bed
Nuclear God arise in a pillar of flame
You know the whole damn thing feels like a sick joke
The human race has all gone insane
Nothing left to do but take a big toke
And dive into the right side of my brain
Has the sun cracked like an egg over my head?
Has it burned every memory inside my brain?
Hang a uranium cross over my bed
Nuclear God arise in a pillar of flame
Can you hear what the universe is trying to tell you
Can you hear what the world is trying to say…
It says…
Fuck you
Fuck you
Fuck you
Fuck you…

Get back to work
You lazy lout
And don’t you dare
Ask a handout
Pay me your taxes
Pay me your time
Pay me your soul
Pay me your mind
Pay me your mind
Pay me your mind
Pay me your mind
Now you’re looking to your leaders for some hope to survive
As they stare into the blazing sun
Well you’ve been pulling all nighters at the charnel house
And now your nose is starting to run
No cause for alarm
No cause for alarm
No cause for alarm
No cause for alarm
There’s no cause
Now everybody’s spouting off conspiracies
and your brain is starting to feel numb
Well you’ve learned a cosmic truth about the human race
and it makes you want to suck on a gun
No cause for alarm
No cause for alarm
No cause for alarm
No cause for alarm
Pay me your taxes
Pay me your time
Pay me your soul
Pay me your mind
Pay me your mind
Pay me your mind
Pay me your mind
No cause
There ain’t nothing
Pay me your taxes
Pay me your time
Pay me your soul
Pay me your mind
Pay me your mind
Pay me your mind
Pay me your mind
There’s no cause/pay me your mind
(Repeats)
There ain’t shit!

Bow down
I am the lord of all
Usurper of The Universe
Astride the throne of god
Took a sip from the well of souls
And it opened my third eye
Bathed my sword in the blood of the gods
And I can cut through space and time
I'll sit upon the cosmic throne
At the end of my crusade
Usurper of the Universe
And all the things that have been made
I can see, a thousand eyes to watch the worlds
And I have slain the mighty titans with my super-mind
I have seen it in the Stars
The glory of my deeds
I am the superman
I have no other needs
I can take you with me baby
But you’d best prepare your mind
So sit your ass right down
And watch the universe unwind
I can see, a thousand eyes to watch the worlds
And I have slain the mighty titans with my super-mind
Bow down
I am the lord of all
Usurper of The Universe
Astride the throne of god

I live in the hourglass
Where futures become the past
I know that this just can’t last
Enter the Golden path
You leaders are cowards and fools
Enslaved by the gleam of the jewels
You willingly worship their lash
Enter the Golden Path
You look to their words for a sign
Just like you’re looking to mine
But I’ve seen throughout all of time
And I know the heart of mankind
And I know what you really need
And I know you can’t sate your greed
And I know this just can’t last
Enter the Golden path
I’ll give you a leader to die for
I’ll give you the stars in the sky
I’ll give you the world that you long for
I’ll give you the light in my eyes
I’ll give you your holy war
I’ll give you the hate that you crave
I’ll give you your order by force
I’ll give you the calm of the grave
I’ll give you your god in the sky
I’ll give you the fire in my eyes
I’ll give you an excuse to kill
I’ll give you my iron will
In the fullness of time you will see
My plan to shape reality
The future becomes the past
Enter the Golden Path

I've wandered for days, though for centuries it's seemed
For figments and fables, the city of dreams
Adrift in the desert, upon dunes I lie
Wishing for water and waiting to die
There just before, a mirage to be sure
Towering, silver, a great gilded door
Real as the warm rays that shine on my face
Towering tall beyond time, beyond space
I wondered if I’d ever get to see you again
My love I know it’s been a long long time
The years have passed quickly and time has flown by,
Oh the winds of eternity billow and sigh
Ever away blows the hourglass sand
As it carves out new lines on my face and my hands
And ever away all the memories I’ve made
But the one that remains is the sight of your face
And there I will stay at the edge of all time
With nothing to keep but these memories of mine
I wondered if I’d ever get to see you again
My love I know there is no time
Destiny beckons and the time has come
For the two who are one to fade into the sun

Slow Phase just completely kicks ass; they've blended some of the coolest parts of 70s hard rock into a kaleidoscope of cool here. As someone who has played with them I must tell you: SEE THEM LIVE!

As a space rock disciple, the stupefying volume of quality releases from Astral Magic is truly astounding. Astral Magic is the true heir to Hawkwind, and I look forward to each new release.

This was hard to pick a favorite. Wet Cement is also really good. Love long songs so Another Realm is a tune i played over and over. Very Swell Fellas for put this album together.

What I like about Draken too is that the music is fierce but not too macho, aggressive but not dumb. The most important feature is masterfull riffage though, and writing songs that stick in your brain and make you yearn for the time you can bang your head along in front of the stage. I seriously can’t wait to see this live.

Strange, Strange Times
by The Ugly Kings
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching.
