Re:evolution (live at the warfield)

I'd like to invite on our guest vocalist
for tonight, a very special guest,
he's been an unconsiderable influence on the
band, the voice of the apocalypse himself,
Mr. Terence McKenna, let's hear a big hand.

Yes

If the truth can be told so as to be understood
then it will be believed. And what is the truth
that we need to believe?It's that history
failed, and so history is about to end, and
we're going to fast forward a hundred thousand
years into the past.
For a hundred thousand years before history,
people lived in harmony, in love and community,
united in the worship of a psychedelic goddess
that ruled the planet before the
dominators. For ten thousand years they
promised us utopia, and they deliver a toxic,
polluted, overpopulated planet. Enough is enough.

From the beginning, shamans guided society,
before the fall into history, and now at the
end of time, the shamans emerge again to show
the way into a psychedelic dimension of love,
sex and intelligence. If these things are not
part of the future, what kind of future will it be?

We have to return to the paeliolithic world of
natural magic through psychedelic plants,
through silicebem, which dissolves boundaries,
promotes community and ends the differences
between people. It's community that has been
stolen from us by the dominators. It is hope
that has been taken from us by the materialists.
It is anxiety which has been the gift of history,
not liberation and so now we say, back to the
magical past,let's make the future an archaic
revival of shamanism, magic,love, sex and
intelligence. Rave culture is the real new world
order and it's going to carry all of us into a
world of completion and caring that we have not
known since the pyramids were raised.

We are the final generation. We are the people
who must save the planet and depart from it into
hyperspace, and the shamans show the way. The
shamans show the way to hyperspace. All
culture, all the dreams of all our ancestors
have built to this moment, a moment when
through the use of percussive music, community,
sexuality and psychedelics, we can discover who
we really are. We can tear the white winged dwarf
off our back and drop kick him into the abyss
because we are the people who have seen the
future. This is what shamanism is. A shaman is
someone who has been to the end, and returns
to the rest of us to show the way to a real
community, a real apothiosys, worthy of
all the shamans, all the people who suffered
and struggled over the centuries to bring us to
this moment. It is our planet, it belongs to
the future, and it is for us to reclaim and
make real, through love, sex and intelligence.
And intelligence means the psychedelic
experience. It means boundary dissolution.
It means sharing with each other the
depths of the imagination. Because this is
where we're heading folks. The future is in the
imagination. The psychedelic shamans have
dreamed of this around their campfires for
half a million years and it's our privelege
to make it happen, to build on it, to create it,
to call it forth, to redeem history.

And not a moment too soon. Not a moment too soon.
If consciousness expansion is not part of the
human future, what kind of future will it be?
If community is not part of the human future,
what kind of future will it be? If love and
sexuality and sensuality are not part of the human
future, what kind of future will it be? We didn't
cross the ice sheets for this. We crossed the ice
sheets to go to the stars, to go to the heart,
to raise ourselves to the glory that we know is
in us. And we have help. The planetary mind of the
Goddess is reaching out to us in our dreams, in
our psychedelic experiences, in our orgasms.
The Goddess is calling us home.
Hear the call, join the march, look into
hyperspace. What I tell you is true. What I tell
you is true. Go check for yourself. Experiencing the
primacy of experience is the centrepiece of being.

Don't sell out to the media, to the
newspapers, you are centre of the only universe
you will ever really know. It's the truth and if
it's told so as to be understood it will be
believed. The new rave culture is the cutting edge
of the last best hope for suffering humanity.
Spread the word. Shamanise, psychedelise,
orgasmacise your life. Take back the planet -
it's yours, it's yours.

These are the last minutes of human history folks.
The countdown is on.
This is not a test.
We're leaving this world behind,
for a brighter, better world that has always existed
in our imagination.
