You're more than welcome
To count the dead
The domain is R2
The range is heads
Well, come and see my
Polynomials
They're orthogonal
Though not normal
Follow me across these lines
See the reason in no time
Or maybe not
Maybe you'll die insolent
Die you all insolent animals
Now that you came here
Please, shake my hand
Try and refuse me
You'll wake up dead
Well, come and see your
Shape crafted to wax
Flick your eyes open
Meet my gloom axe

How I Lost the War
Easy match tonight, they said
But I don’t grow that high
Lean against the ropes and bleed
The floor is getting nigh
See my eyes and what’s to come
Not hard to foretell
Split my tongue and tear my nails
Kiss the crowd farewell
Yellow sidewalk morning comes
Bolts and joints smashed
Stepped in the blows to end the line
Saw bites my thin flesh
Yellow sidewalk morning came without call
Everything reversed
Stepped in the blows to start the line
Everything now fair
23 hundred times my old friends they were clipped
Dragged around beneath surface tide I was lost and found
Gave those shades a burst of joy on that horror-drenched attic
Now I'm inside electron rays, right on dinner time
And it’s time...

Machine runs, get your suits and masks
Weld yourselves to the rules that keep you breathe
Golden shepherd sings shiny yellow songs
Keep telling those tales while the sky is pale silver
(Don’t stop those tales ‘till another dawn)
Circle of coal – buried in this body of rock
I see all to come – frozen by the air it breathes
Mirror descent – should have told you yesterday
Sweep us up – join the bones that kept us warm
Cracks in the chest, skin is peeling off
Within the veins insects run their course
Wired inside, all tremblings controlled
Flick the switch, shepherd, paint a new sky
These trilobites crawl through my ears
This dead black bark keeps filling my lung
This machinery won't take us far
These coins of coal are laid on the eye

Among the Wise (Refuse Racists)
Countless days you did our chores
Now it’s time to open doors
Fear not, for science’s strong
Gather round and smoke a bong
Outshine us
Do your best
Fear us not
Among the wise
You’ll be safe
Fear us not
Hear my words, you nitwits, brutes
Refuse racists and spread the truth
Fear not, for science’s good
Now it’s time to leave the hood

I want you
I want you so bad, baby
Driving me mad!
Look to the east where thunder doom is rising
Into the acid tide of morning tears
Want you so bad my blood turns into spiders
Lucifer, grant me silent, silent dreams

Smoke, fire, water, light
They're different
Not as to stone nor steel
But they're tangible
And we assume time is an arrow
Because it is as a clock
One second is one second for everyone
Cause precedes effect
Fruit rots, water flows downstream
We're born, we age, we die
The reverse NEVER happens
None of this is true
Say goodbye to classical reality!
