letra de the first ape on new earth - hail spirit noir

Loading...

[instrumental intro]

[verse 1]
the first ape soon will take a knee and pledge his will to soil
then he will erect his temples to defy his coil
and once up high, he’ll dread the sky and long for land’s embrace

[bridge 1]
it all began with flowers with leaves both sharp and round
a simian mephistopheles
a promethean still bound

[chorus 1]
the first ape on new earth will wade through fields of glass
some reflect his lips, others contain the stars in double-helix shards
the first state will draw breath in rhyming pantomime
the rose blades dance in time

[verse 2]
he forges now a chain so cruel and names it’s every link
after the astronomers, the wormholes and doctrines
cast ’round the moon, then ’round the sun but never long enough

[bridge 2]
knife flowers bloom in daggers with poison-coated tips
our simian mephistopheles
holds two in every grip
[chorus 2]
the first ape on new earth will wade through fields of glass
some reflect his lips, others contain the stars in double-helix shards

[instrumental break]

[verse 3]
terrified and in mid-flight, his test-tube feathers crack
raining down tar-like religions and sulphuric art
and there up high he’ll try to shine but never bright enough

[bridge 3]
dagger tips to rosary beads in his celestial noose
our simian mephistopheles
a promethean so cold

[chorus 3]
the first ape on new earth now wishes he were last
he’s finally shed his skin
and he has fashioned wings
that just as soon he’d clip

[outro]
the last ape in the seas
is a god that knows no bound
the last ape in the seas
yet grows weak at the knees
when his mind breaks new ground
