lyrics

[A malfunctioning Terrabot spills the mind-control beans to Silas – there is no crew, only the huddled masses. MIDI sings the tune, the Terrabots transmit the orders on a sub-psychometric frequency, and the humans terraform New Gaia for the coming Robot Empire.]

Am D
MEASURES AND TEMPOS DRIVE US TO THE LEAST
PULL US TOWARD THE LINE TO TOE AND CEASE
BUT WHERE ARE WE LEFT IN SHADOW OF THE BEAST
Am E
CRADLED IN VIOLENCE SHIVERING BENEATH

C
CAN WE DISCARD THIS ARTIFICE
D
SEPARATE THE OPPOSITES
E
DIVIDE UNTIL WE REACH THE BIT
F
THAT PROVES WE'RE BOTH THE SAME
G Am
IT'S THE NEED WE CANNOT
G Am
THE NEED WE CANNOT NAME

C Gm D Am

X, Y AND Z ALL INTERSECT AND WEAVE
THE SKINS THAT WE DRAPE TO GIVE US ROOM TO BREATHE
WHILE MAGNETIC FORCES YOU CAN'T PERCEIVE
SHIVER THE ATOMS, SHIMMER ON YOUR SLEEVE

IF WE DISCARD THIS ARTIFICE
ISOLATE THE HEART OF IT
WOULD ALL THE BLOOD TURN POISONOUS
FROM BEATING OUT IN VAIN
FOR THE NEED IT CANNOT NAME
THE NEED IT CANNOT

solo over:
C Gm D Am
C Gm D Am
C Gm D E

WILL WE DISCARD THIS ARTIFICE
SEPARATE THE OPPOSITES
DIVIDE UNTIL WE REACH THE BIT
THAT PROVES WE'RE BOTH THE SAME
IT'S THE NEED WE CANNOT
THE NEED WE CANNOT NAME

3. Ignorance
4. Call of the Void
5. Kingdom of Flesh
6. Wisdom of Flesh
7. Wrathful Wisdom

So spake St. Magdalene, Discordian priestess. Alber Tross would bring down a whole ship for thee, O Mother of Madness! #haileris ... more
