Illistrum Songtext
von Art Ensemble of Chicago

Illistrum!
Odwalla came through the people of the Sun into the grey Haze of the
Ghost world, vanished legends crowding breadlines,
The people of Sun coated with green chalk,
All kinds of warm light between them,
Destroyed for the silver queen of the ghost world.
Wild beast such as dog′s gone mad and lechers, the wanderers.
Odwalla came through the people of the Sun to warn them of the
Vanished legends and to teach them how they'd made increase their
Bounty through the practice of the drum and silent gong as taught by
Odwalla Was realized,
On seeing one another they transformed themselves into one the hand
The other the left the toe of Kuantupa,
The one who creates the door
Through passage on the hilllock, Kuanbuka.
Their purpose?
To guide the people of the Sun as they
Sought knowledge of the door through the grey Haze.
When Seeka saw the sound of the silent gong,


Seeka thought to transform itself into the right hand of Odwalla,
Where called Bisu, rested while waiting to move into the right big
Toe of Kuasupam the one who creates the door
Through the passage on the hilllock of Kuambuka
Their purpose?
To guide the people of the Sun as they seek to leave,
Seek to leave, seek to leave, seek to leave the grey Haze.
Only Rimumba remain to find the place of the drum and silent gong,
Such knowldege would enable him to inherit it to the inner organs of
Quasupam the one who creates the door to
The passage on the hilllock of Quanbuka.
Their purpose?
To guide the people of the Sun, the grey Haze
Odwalla vibrated the movement of combing gear all-for-you
Causing the silent gong to sound
Silent, the body whole, the grey Haze.
Sun, people, drum, silent gong, hear now...
Hear now...
Hear now, between us the grey haze, sun, people
