01. Ozymandias
(About Ramesse II.)
Lyrics: Percy Bysshe Shelley (1817)
I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
Tell that It’s sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away
English Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792 - 1822)
wrote a sonnet, first published in the 1818. In collection “Ozymandias” is Shelley´s most famous work.

02. Hymnus Aton
Lyrics: Ivan King Kráľ
Children from divine wedlocks
Live either in heavens
Or they stay in Egypt,
To become pharaohs
Oh, greetings to you!
You, whose powers no one has
You breathe life into all things,
The Earth rises upon your wish
Oh, you’re the one and only god!
The God of yesterday born today,
We live this life with and within you,
You reside above, but your steps are our day!
Hail living Aton!
Your life is long!
Hail living Aton!
Live forever every day!
Hail living Aton!
Sun of the Sun,
Child of the light
Akhenaten your son
Oh, greetings to you!
You, who does all these things
Plants are blooming, animals larking,
Legged creatures walk and winged ones fly!

03. Chant Of Praise To Nimaatre
about Amenemhat III. (1840 - 1793) 12th Dynasty of Egypt
Lyrics: Ivan King Kráľ
The sunrays are climbing on a black pyramid,
Flashing shadows on sandy dunes in Dahshur
The sacred cat cut the snake open,
The Demon Apophis has been destroyed
Never let my fame go down the drain,
Let everyone on Earth praise my name
Beauty rises from darkness and misery,
How powerful is the truth of Re
Praised by humans I raise my spirit,
I see even more than the Sun can see
The master of light,
I let them know my name
Now I am opening my way for you,
Come on and follow that way
And when the light fills your soul,
Darkness shall be forever gone
It’s the beginning and end of mankind,
Since nobody like him has ever existed
The mighty ruler of the united double crown
King of kings, Nimaatre has become everything
Golden age of the Middle Kingdom

05. Homeless
Lyrics: Friedrich Nietzsche (1859)
Fleet horses bear
Me without fear or dismay
Through distant places.
And whoever sees me, knows me,
And whoever knows me, calls me:
The homeless man...
No one dares
To ask me
Where my home is:
Perhaps I have never been fettered
To space and the fleeting hours,
I am free as an eagle!
Question me where,
My home is
---------------------------
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844 - 1900)
German philosopher, composer, poet, whose work has exerted a profound influence on modern intellectual history.
Nietzsche's strong poetic thought: "I am free as an eagle!"
This combination of music and text will always give you strong emotions.

06. Venetian Night
Lyrics: Ivan Kráľ (King)
Loggias and windows,
Lighthouse in winter lagoon
Over gondola mist is dwelling,
In the distance cat eyes shining
Piers under water stick out noses,
Heavy wagons on wet streets making noises
Poets create and lay down verses
Shaping words and seeking muses
Chants and dances, It’s mystery time
Glorious Venice, how nicely it shines!
The chambers witness burned out flame,
Wax has fragmented like porcelain
And orchestra plays on and on,
To call all the masks to the ball
The long awaited company has come:
Bunch of nebs and jack-o´-lantern

07. Sea In The Soul
Lyrics: Ivan King Kráľ
Clouds fly high in silence,
Above the wide countryside
Flying freely to any place,
At any given hour, any time
Lying on my back in the grass,
It is me, just dreaming my dreams,
Colourful insect from childhood times,
Flying deeply in my memories
The moon is diving into the sea,
Let’s take a journey - he invites me,
That’s the place where I would like to be,
Far out there where Poseidon lives
I would drink up your entire blueness,
Blue blue sea you are so free,
I am tearing into your inner space,
Witnessing bottomless infinity!

08. After Swimming
(from Sestos to Abydos)
Lyrics: Lord Byron (1810)
If, in the month of dark December,
Leander, who was nightly wont
What maid will not the tale remember?
To cross thy stream, broad Hellespont!
But since he cross'd the rapid tide,
According to the doubtful story,
To woo, and Lord knows what beside,
And swam for Love, as I for Glory;
If, when the wintry tempest roar'd,
He sped to Hero, nothing loath,
And thus of old thy current pour'd,
Fair Venus! how I pity both!
For me, degenerate modern wretch,
Though in the genial month of May,
My dripping limbs I faintly stretch,
And think I've done a feat today
Twere hard to say who fared the best:
Sad mortals! thus the gods still plague you!
---------------------------------------------------------
George Gordon Byron (1788 - 1824)
Lord Byron, was a British poet and leading figure in the Romantic movement. He is regarded as one of the greatest British poets and remains widely read and influential.
In 1810 he swam across the Dardanelles to verify the truth of Leander's myth. Hero and Leander is the Greek myth relating the story of Hero, a priestess of Aphrodite who dwelt in a tower in Sestos on the European side of the Hellespont (today´s Dardanelles), and Leander, a young man from Abydos on the opposite side of the strait. Leander fell in love with Hero and would swim every night across the Hellespont to spend time with her.

09. With Horus In The Sky
Lyrics: Ivan King Kráľ
Sunny Karnak, Heliopolis, Memphis & Nile
In a place of purity and fantasy,
Dreaming of freedom beyond desert borders.
Strong and fulgent in my immensity,
Taking shape of all forms of my mind
Horus sleeps only for a while,
Kids see him waves wavings in the sky,
He plays with them, smiles and laughs,
Egyptian boys holding each other’s arms
Horus greeted me as a falcon,
I’m blessed inside, strengthening my power,
We fly together over desert fields,
Regenerating my muscles and nerves
Imagery of colours, excitement screams
Dwellers of horizon praisingly welcoming me
I dive down to Earth plenty of times
And then I come back, rising so high

10. The Age of Aquarius
Lyrics: Ivan King Kráľ
Colossal Cycles came from equilibrium
Moving towards the end of infinity
The Age of Aquarius brings new sorts of glow
Penetrating the surface of our planet
The Age of Aquarius brings dynamic
Streams of energies
Influencing human psyche, higher philosophy
In it’s course we wake up the Free Spirit
That can’t be killed or destroyed
In it’s course we wake up the sleeping mind,
We upgrade and prolong our life
Oh mandkind wake up and be wise!
The light as been hidden all those years
Listen to the voice of boundless wisdom
As this the age of the “Kingdom of the Spirit“
