Chariot 04:47
With the sun behind the shadow, And the moon is darkened soon. I have seen the old black Cadillac Eclipse these empty rooms. Gonna drive it through the Mekong Through the paddies, through the plains Where the jungle's been torn open And the monkeys know my name. Lord, Oh Lord, I'm sinking down. Lord, Oh Lord, there's nobody around Lord, Oh Lord, this here's a ghost town. Metal darkness now encircles On the edge of number nine. And that number cannot hurt me Or let me forget those white lines. Lord, Oh Lord, I'm sinking down. Lord, Oh Lord, there's nobody around Lord, Oh Lord, this here's a ghost town.

Langka 03:58
I have fled to the top of the mountain With Sita and Naang Montho. I ask the angels and the god of a thousand eyes To rebuild my Langkan home. I will steal from Mount Krailart Kuparan’s glass palanquin. Phra Isuan sinks a tusk in my chest Cursed until death to remain in. This chariot divines the truth, Sita, And can fly to my new throne You will live in my pleasure garden Hear my promises: you’ll never be alone. I’m gonna find your love in time. I’m gonna find your love in time. I’m gonna find your love in time. And I’m home And I’m home And I’m home

Maiyarab 03:37
Rama had a dream Broke a Bhraman canopy Sunk into the underworld Eclipsing the cloudless sky. Bad luck will threaten at midnight Ending at dawn with the shining of the morning star. Hanuman enlarges his body and sets a guard With Rama’s Camp inside his mouth. Alchemy of elephants lions and maidens Maiyarab makes a sleeping potion for Morakot Hill. Transforms himself into a monkey and enters their army Learns of Hanuman’s protection and climbs a hill nearby. With a magic glass Simulates the morning star. Monkey warriors relax Use the potion on Rama’s camp. sleep….. sleep… Climbs inside Hanuman’s mouth Steals away Rama sleeping there Takes him to the subterranean world. Cages Rama in a bamboo grove In the bottom of the underworld. In Badan in the underworld [Outro: Hanuman sleeps)]
