lost in confusion…I´ve seen people lost in the wilderness....I´ve
seen people lost in bitterness....I´ve seen people lost in loneliness....I´ve
seen people giving up to fatalism, lost in cynicism, I´ve seen people

resuscitate you, re-educate you, regenerate you, reconfiscate you, reindoctrinate
you, resexualate you, rededicate you, reliberate you with the power, the promise,
the power, the promise, the power, the promise, the power, the promise, the
power, the promise, the majesty, the mystery…the ministry of rock and
roll !….the ministry (crowd: ´Of rock and roll´) the ministry
