In eternal babylon where reason serves the sensual Lady luck will turn to gold all blades drawn out Muses clad in leopard skin spin around an offering Left is behind a feast fit for the palate of sun king The wining and dining stops when a sorceress steps up And chants a spell to a tune of a great symphony
Ja simbilam malibmis aj She sang the strangest song Ja simbilam malibmis aj All the children danced along Ja simbilam malibmis aj She sang the strangest song Ja simbilam malibmis aj The birdies joined in to the choir
Get enamored by her face she'll give you the medusa's gaze In the hanging garden left there standing as a gnome The sublimations and the love poured from cornucopia Adoration born of fear will animate us all
Ja simbilam malibmis aj She sang the strangest song Ja simbilam malibmis aj All the children danced along Ja simbilam malibmis aj She sang the strangest song Ja simbilam malibmis aj The birdies joined in to the choir
All that perishes bends to her whim The spell echoes so far ja simbilam malibmis aj Oh how blessed we are
Ja simbilam malibmis aj She sang the strangest song Ja simbilam malibmis aj All the children danced along Ja simbilam malibmis aj She sang the strangest song Ja simbilam malibmis aj The birdies joined in to the choir

As the airwaves cry And the pictures flaunt Everyone’s allured The charade is on
It seems well-conceived But I can tell That something brews beneath Someone did a deed So debauched, so vile Don’t want to know ‘bout what went on or why Smiling beauty queen Immortalized, forever asleep Coked-up troubadours Singing hollow praise Of just themselves Knowing they’ll be forgotten one day But we’re all amused And at the same time so subtly engineered
It seems ill-conceived And it gets worse Far as I can see Dig this travesty Get desensitized And you will cope With the bare-faced lie Tell me, did your idol get Shat on by some dysgenic pleb Did your noble cause Get usurped and whored The clown-show is what we get ‘cause you reap what you sow
Slick and sassy message And that urban sensibility And people just ignore the idolatry You’d might as well watch porno Well the difference is so vague by now ‘cause all things wholesome have been bastardized You’d might as well watch porno ‘cause it’s all been turned to usury
To trust you, I need you stripped of all Fame and fortune, so spoke the slave Master scoffs and affirms his dominance Master laughs and gives him the cane
To see you as a full-fledged human being Imitate me, so master spoke Slave whimpers and suckles on his wounds Slave is broken
He dreams of vengeance, retribution Dreams of vengeance, retribution (3x) Dreams of vengeance (3x) Dreams of vengeance, retribution (3x) Dream Dreams of vengeance, retribution (4x)
In their rendering, the philosopher kings, stood firm As engineers and seers, of the finest pedigree Poured their minds, and in their brilliance and hubris They set on to probe their way to god
To fight against mortality, to tear the seam of time and space Control the course of history, unto cosmos they’d carve their face To synthesize divinity, to simulate a paradise with mere mundane means
An arcane theorem, brought to its ultimate Elements and energy, that defy reality Oh the lives the ordeal is sure to claim Induced unity of matter and spirit Attention to detail down to (the) level of planck length An anticipation of something infinite Meters very plain, for measures very great Experimental risks, few atomized by slip A dozen more will lose their sanity An artificial rift of body and spirit Measurements unknown, with metrics never shown But they will bring about what they’ve set upon The singularity, they’ve passed by already And they celebrate, the forging of their fate But do they really know what they’ve brought upon?
In their rendering, the philosopher kings, stood firm As engineers and seers, of the finest pedigree Poured their minds, and as ordained They probed their way to god The singularity, far passed and now they see Produced by their machine, a providence supreme They break the speed of light as they all become

Crowd of people wandering through the city streets In their mere presence it keeps conveying to me All thoughts and Ideals, one would like to neglect Stripped down and clarified from their inner depth
I had yearned a skill to scan the minds of men My predictments were severely wrong back then The shallow human will which never aims to evolve Alleged complexity which only turned out to be A facade
Take a deeper view and see what is within The particles that make a man's identity Like pages of a memo they reflect what we want But not what we really are Unto the words that were not left unsaid without a cause
To hide that insecurity a mask is worn To camouflage that vanity with all that talk Well I’m the one seeing through it, so I’m to be the judge A smile I know not to be real Lies and hypocrisy, deception which I’m forced to bear
If it would have a face the ugliness would bloom I found it’s inner core, the surface hid the truth Yes knowledge can be gained, it never will be lost The burden remains, ignorance was it’s cost
They claim that some are saints among the wretched in here But in the end they’re same, in pursuits and fears One among them, one witness to it all Who sees, man’s ambitions fall But why, oh god, oh why? Turned out to be me
Everywhere around me wherever they may be This exploitive ailment, without my consent Quickens, and these surges hollow out whats left
If it would have a face the ugliness would bloom I found it’s inner core, the surface hid the truth Yes knowledge can be gained, it never will be lost The burden remains, ignorance was it’s cost And only thing that’s left, this self-hate and regret The nobility they claimed was just a facade
My debilitated mind, found the emptiness inside And then I sought refuge, in my solitude
*Instrumental*
