Scientist Lyrics







[Verse 1]

I am come straight from the palace

Through the toadsong to your step

At the behest of the king

With a gift for your temple

I have lugged this strange contraption

Over many a hoary dale

Unbar the gate! Take me to the house

Of your so-called priest... blasphemer!



[Verse 2]

"We do not require the use of your abandon

We have our own seeing-device, powered by waste

It no longer recognises words or numbers

Words or numbers"



[Verse 3]

As a fellow citizen of reason

I strongly suggest you reconsider your position

Otherwise you may face truly dire consequences

The instalment of this modern wonder

Is for your own benefit

Down will rain boiling tar on your rooves, if you refuse



[Verse 4]

"We have long-since in a vision fleed into the nameless foothills

Somewhere fire cannot live - a secret dome

Enclosing a whole word made anew

World made anew

World made anew"
