We gotta find new rituals
The old ones just won’t do
Although they were just fine with me
They don’t seem fine with you
We gotta find new rituals
The old ones were back then
They’re taking place now somewhere else
And with another clan
Tabulae Rasae
All life is wiped out
Tabulae Rasae
All life has wiped out
I’ll get used to new rituals
The way I used to do
With other brandnew rituals
That were imposed by you
My god I loved those rituals
and how we held on tight
But ever since we gave em up
It seems the world ain’t right
Tabulae Rasae
All life is wiped out
Tabulae Rasae
All life has wiped out
It seems the world ain’t right
Whistle in the dark
Blacked out the phantoms stare at the fire
Miners of their own minds, lost for the world
The fire is extinct and so is my instinct
I walk out of habit
back into the mine
I am in a poor health
Art is in a good shape
There is a connection
There is a connection
between these two facts
I don’t complain I suffer,
the tissue of my brains
is calligraphed with sunrays
etched in with bilious rains
I can feel the rhythm
of my thoughts dissolving
in the cornfield’s quaking
set going by the sun
Let’s hope that Art is true
Oh Art, consuming passion
I see the voice that prompts me
I go by my eyes only
DNA and bow and arrow
You and me and DNA
DNA and bow and arrow
You and me and DNA
