We got the System,
to fuck the System! *
We got the System, to fuck the System!
Oehhhhhh….
* It’s obviously ironic, as you cannot “fuck” a system by another system!
Those lyrics were inspired by Abbie Hoffmann’s manifesto “Fuck the System”.
Irony and sarcasm, are the two keys to understand this peculiar “666”.

Babylon lyrics
Fallen fallen fallen
is Babylon the great!
Space is getting bounded,
time is getting late!
Masters fall and wonder,
people rise and wait
Fallen fallen fallen
is Babylon the great!
You don’t need a coin,
I don’t have to shine
We don’t know the reason
But I need you madly
but you need me too
and we need each other…
and we need each other…
and we need each other… Fallen fallen fallen
is Babylon the great!
Space is getting bounded,
time is getting late!
Masters fall and wonder,
people rise and wait
Fallen fallen fallen
is Babylon the great!
You don’t have a coin,
I don’t have to shine
We don’t know the reason
But I need you madly
but you need me too
and we need each other…
and we need each other…
and we need each other…

Loud, loud, loud lyrics*
The day the walls of the cities will crumble away
uncovering our naked souls,
we’ll all start singing,
shouting, screaming
loud, loud, loud, loud
The day the circus horses will stop turning around,
running fast through the green valleys,
we’ll sing and cry and shout
loud, loud, loud, loud
The day the cars will lay in heaps
their wheels turning in vain,
we’ll run along the empty highways
shouting, screaming, singing
loud, loud, loud, loud
The day young boys will stop becoming soldiers,
and soldiers will stop playing war games,
we’ll sing and cry and shout
loud, loud, loud, loud
The day will come up
that we’ll all wake up
hearing and shouting of joy
and shouting together with the freaks
loud, loud, loud, loud
The day the world will turn upside down
we’ll run together round and round
screaming, shouting, signing
loud, loud, loud, loud
loud, loud, loud, loud
loud, loud, loud, loud

The four horsemen lyrics
And when the lamb opened the
first seal,
I saw the first Horse.
The Horseman held a bow
Now when the lamb opened the
second seal,
I saw the second Horse
The Horseman held his sword
The leading horse is white
the second horse is red
the third one is a black,
the last one is a green
The leading horse is white
the second horse is red
the third one is a black,
the last one is a green
And when the lamb opened the
third seal,
I saw the third Horse.
The Horseman had a balance Now when the lamb opened the fourth seal,
I saw the fourth Horse.
The Horseman was the Pest
The leading horse is white
the second horse is red
the third one is a black,
the last one is a green
The leading horse is white
the second horse is red
the third one is a black,
the last one is a green
The leading horse is white
the second horse is red
the third one is a black,
the last one is a green

The seventh seal lyrics
And when the lamb opened the
next two seals,
We saw the souls,
We saw the martyrs,
we heared them crying,
We heared them shouting,
They were dressed in white,
They’d been told to wait
The sun was black,
the moon was red,
the stars were falling,
the earth was trembling
And then the crowed
impossible to number
carrying flowers,
shouted amid the hotless sun
the lightless moon
the windless earth
the colourless sky:
“How much longer will we suffer
from hunger?
How much longer will we suffer
from thirst?”
And when the lamb opened the seventh seal,
silence covered the sky

Aegian sea lyrics*
I saw the souls
I saw the martyrs
I heared them crying
I heard them shouting
They were dressed in white
they’ve been told to wait
The sun was black
the moon was red
the stars were falling
the earth has trembling
And then a crowd impossible to number
Dressed in white
carrying palms shouted amid
the hotless sun
the lightless moon
the windless earth
the colourless sky …
They’ll no more suffer from hunger
they’ll no more suffer from thirst
They’ll no more suffer from hunger
they’ll no more suffer from thirst
They’ll no more suffer from hunger
they’ll no more suffer from thirst

Seven bowls lyrics
The first bowl on the earth
the second bowl on the sea
the third bowl on the rivers
the fourth bowl on the sun
the fifth bowl on the Beast
the sixth bowl on the stars
the seventh bowl on the air And the earth turned grey
the sea turned black
the rivers turned red
the sun turned cold
the Beast turned pale
the stars turned fast
the air turned to poison

Ofis lyrics
Exelthe ofi katiramene, *
dhioti an dhen exelthe essy,
tha se exelthe ego!
Ou! Ou! Ou! English translation:
O you cursed serpent, come out,
because if you didn’t come out yourself,
I would make you come out! Oh! Oh! Oh!
* This is a famous line from the Greek shadow theatre, specifically from a play called “Karagiozis, Alexander the Great and the Cursed Serpent”. As this is from theatre and not prose, the language is richer and more poetical than everyday Greek, even if it is not verse. So, while the literal translation of tha se exelthe ego is I would come-out you, this does not make sense in English. It is much better to say I would make you come out.

Altamont lyrics*
This is the sight we had one day
on the High Mountain
We saw a lamb with seven eyes
We saw a beast with seven horns
and a book with seven seals
Seven angels with seven trumpets
and seven bowls filed with anger
Those are the pictures
of what was
of what is
of what has to come We are the people
the rolling people
the why people
the waiting people
the wanting people
the tambourine people
the alternative people
the angel people

Infinity lyrics
I was*
I am
I am to come
I was I am
I am to come I was
I am
[etc]
*[note: The words are: “I am to come” and “I was to come”
She begins to blend the two together as she gets into it (the song), and sometimes it sounds more like: “I was, I am, I was, I was, I am to come I was.”
It is the inversion of “Who was, is, is to come” of the Revelation, attributed to the Good.
Here, the “Bad”, (the Beast, 666) turns this phrase into Ego, (first person),
and tries to be born again, or to give birth to another Ego, or to “make love” to is own self and so on.
Vicious circle.]

*As about the syllables you hear, it is Vangelis’ voice, “answering” to Lucas by the jazz doo-wap technique: “stoobeedooobedoo…” and so on. It was Vangelis way of making fun to the song.
These are transcribed phonetically, and although there are some actual words like “day” and “bait”, the whole thing is obviously not intented as real words. (Special thanks to Ugo Coppola).
