lyrics

Siddhartha speaks and will awaken He lived a long time ago, but he still lives Ignore your losses, here is happiness The healer is around giving medical attention His name changes but he is the one He's opening the garden, our home we'd forgotten We forgot the way there, but we have a guide now The time you have waited for has come. Ex Deo nascimur In Jesu mortimer In Spritum Sanctum reviviscimus Look death in the eye, it's terror ends He's taken the veil away and let in the sun Oh you hopeless flock, the pen door's wide open Remember the future, amnesia is gone Get ready to move, get ready to shine, The time you have waited for has come. Ex Deo nascimur In Jesu mortimer In Spritum Sanctum reviviscimus Let in the brightness of the day God knows we're really there, Resurrected, Alive again, Transformation, Resurrected from ashes, The King-- The King of Peace!

about

King Felix Shreveport, Louisiana

King Felix, a progressive/art rock ensemble founded in 1987 in Shreveport, Louisiana, was mainly a creative outlet for prodigal music naturalist Geoff Walden. In collaboration with Keith Rowley and E. Scott Hackenberg (et al.), Walden cranked out four album's worth of richly textured, lyrically obtuse, and trippily-layered compositions. ... more
