Lyrics
One of the saddest things about the modern world is that people live in a tiny time slice which they carry forward with them. Nothing remains. The centuries to them are completely dark. Just un-illumined corridors through which they stagger into a single little sliver of light Every great civilization has a record of a period of a golden age, when there was no war, no dispute, no lying It's not by shunning darkness that you'll know light Not holy fields of wood alive, of stone alive And up in the rooms of your barren house You're reassembling language to keep realities out I know your credentials, and I know you'll tell In this game of reeds, in the logic of the spell My burning attachment to contingencies For who wills the end, may will the means When it's only fools and firebrand (Kali yuga, uber alles) The books of law in the arsonist's hands (Kali yuga, uber alles) Pretend to know me, and I'll pretend to care (Kali yuga, uber alles) And nothing lasts, that hesitates out there Time to collect the stones, and what our guards left behind Stray out of being, and out of time I know your credentials, I know your tell Embracing that death you know so well
