Illinstrum Songtext
von Art Ensemble of Chicago

Odwalla came through the people of the sun
Into the gray haze of the ghost world
Vanished legions crowding breadlines
The people of the sun coated with green chalk
All kinds of warm light between them
Destroyed for the silver queen of the ghost world
Wild beasts such as dogs gone mad and lechers, the wanderers
Odwalla came through the people of the sun
To warn them of the vanished legions
And to teach them how they may 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 big toe of Quazupam
The one who creates the door through
The passage on the hill of Quambuca
Their purpose: to guide the people of the sun
As they sought knowledge of the door through the gray haze
When Sica saw the sound of the silent gong


Sica thought to transform itself into the right hand of Odwalla
Where Cobisu rested while waiting to
Move into the right big toe of Quazupam
The one who creates the door through
The passage on the hill of Quambuca
Their purpose: to guide the people of the sun
As they seek to leave, seek to leave, seek to leave, seek to leave
The gray haze
Only Rimba remained to find the place of the drum and silent gong
Such knowledge would enable it to
Enter into the inner organs of Quazupam
The one who creates the door through
The passage on the hill of Quambuca
Their purpose: to guide the people of the sun
The gray haze
Odwalla vibrated the movement of Cambigil
Opo UCausing the silent gong to sound silent
The body hold
The gray haze
Sun people
Drum
Silent gong
Here now
Here now
Here now
Between us
The gray haze
Sun people
