THUNDER DRAGON LYRICS

THUNDER DRAGON (383 years)

Words & Music: Sönke Prigge

Born in 1616 you stayed with your books
Your music and meditations.
Much hidden from US
You were unaware of our problems
And yet had none yourself
Your head was in the clouds and
Your feet solid on the ground

The new millennium was dawning and
Change came without a warning
Rupert’s star fell from the SKY
Straight into your life (minds)
The dragons spiritual values
Murdered by the enemy
That came into your living room

As a new day breaks so gets the law
You awake every time and see the
Theft, the addictions, the murder, the murder
Welcome to the west – throw away all your values
We bring you the best

The New World has arrived and
Changed you without warning

Rupert’s star fell from the SKY
Straight into your life (minds)
The dragons spiritual values
Murdered by the enemy
That came into your living room

Wake up Sit down Walk away Walk away
STOP NOT SWITCH OFF

Photograph

Words by Sabine Lück, Music by Sönke Prigge

Yellow fields under sunny skies
A scent of cherry – trees
And flirting butterflies
Let my spirit rise

It’s just a photograph that hurts our children’s eyes

What do we tell our children?
When we see the questions in their eyes
What do we tell our children?
Don’t think that they believe in lies
How can we explain our failure?
Ignoring the willing saviour

It’s just a photograph that hurts our children’s eyes
When I close my eyes I can taste the past

Dying fields under burning skies
Toxic scent of factories
Mutated butterflies
Let my sprits die

Performed by Sönke Prigge
Vocals: Sabine Lück
Snare Drum: Paul Mason

Dear Sleep

Words and Music by Sönke Prigge

“Dear Sleep
I like it when you come to me and stay for a good while
I prefer you stay all night and don’t leave me at times
If you do – I always want you to come back”

“Dear Sleep
I have many friends, but you are one of my dearest
And when you leave me in the morning
After we spend a good time together
I am glad to see you go”

Performed by Sönke Prigge
Voice: Fred McApple

Global Warming

Music Sönke Prigge with vocal extracts from the film “The day after Tomorrow”

Global warming is melting the polar ice caps
It’s our children and our grand children who will have to pay the price
Extreme weather
The upper trophisphere
This place is incredible

Performed by Sönke Prigge
