Hi Lee, thank you for the lyrics, but hm, still cannot make any chocolate of it [a Dutch expression you may know]. I'll stick with "the power of Love". Very important.

Great picture, terrible music. Could not understand the words. Something with Rudolph(?), the Reindeer(?) Could be relating to the picture.

Hi Nynke,

This is part of the Rudolph The terrible Viking Opera.

Rudolph has confronted Bezobub; and although the encounter ended in disaster, due to the Helmet of Ra and its cosmic power of Love, all is not yet lost.

Lyrics are below.

We’re in the darkest hour

When it seems all is lost

And the whole damn world is signing on

To the holocaust

The hero is dead

And the sky is falling

Out there in the distance

You can hear the Nazgûl wail

Bezobub is triumphant!

Rudolph has been nailed

Open up a bottle

Of your very best champagne

Let us toast, let us boast

To the victory we have gained!

We kicked his ass with a meteorite

And w blew him straight to hell

Rudolph’s sad remains

Are driftin’ out in space

[There’s an arm!

There’s a leg!

I got a part of his face!]

And the helmet of Ra

[the psychedelic helmet]

Is wakin’ up from its beauty sleep

[cocl a doodle doo]

To the sight of Rudolph’s molecules

Scattered across the deep

Now the helmet is quite upset

By this unexpected turn

And its fiery soul

Begins to burn—

It gathers its awesome mojo

And channels the power of love

Into the lens

[into the lens]

Of its great third eye

[I’m talking’ bout the third eye power]

The power of Ra

The power of love

The stars keep on shining

In the firmament above

And Rudolph’s parts they slowly begin

To gather themselves in a cloud

Whose density’s increasing

As the light shines on

The hemet of Ra

Has never completely tested

The psychedelic power

[la la la la la]

With which it is invested

[the psychedelic power]

But now is the time

[now is the time]

Now is the time of seeing

The power of love

Will reassemble the hero’s being

Bezobub don’t realize it but the battle has not yet begun

And the magical powers invested in the helmet of the sun

Are resurrecting Rudolph’s various separated parts

Into an even more powerful adversary

with the very bravest heart

Rudolph rises from the shreds of steel

Resurrection from the void

All the love that created him

Will not let him be destroyed

Resurrection, resurrection

Through the power of love x 2

The power of love

Anything is possible

I said the power of love

Anything you wanna do x 2

Resurrection

Rudolph is back in black

Resurrection

Now he’s on the attack x 2
