As Above So Below - Tom Tom Club

I've seen strange signs on my way Silent shadows, dancing shapes And angels fallen on the earth Face up and look there When the root of Thy being cannot reach Art thou Nephilim child Are ye looking for thy Elysium? Here among the living trees Among the fading stars, variability of forms Sometimes love, sometimes sadness of things Sometimes rapture and wine of Sabbath Sometimes hatred, divine rage And 93 rears, no limit beyond the sin gilgolem Ye taught me the secret words Iao Sabao Protect thy Damion Iao Sabao Protect thy Damion Iao Sabao Protect thy Damion Iao Sabao, Sabao Why, why whisper thoughts But might is raised When conjurer of seasons Hums the song sorrowful, joyful Night is eternal Day is eternal With runes of life And runes of death As above, so below Now it's time of the beast

Slidin' round the city with the mark of the beast Got seven DÆMONS on the way to take me to Greece So I can summon Osiris and make him battle Poseidon And when they both gone I still won't have a God to confide in I'm trippin' on shrooms a vacation I'm lickin' on Lucy escapin' All of my daily misfortunes And I know that I'm the creator I get so fucked in my brain That I don't know what I can say Anything that crosses my mind Without it comin' out the wrong way Lately, I'm feelin' a little okay Top of the mountain I'm fuckin her face Moment I cum now I believe in fate Still wanna die but not today I don't wanna be another mothafucka with no way to see the good in things I smile every time I bleed, young Cobain I'm gloin' up, goin' up, jump comin' up If I don't kill myself before I see a million bucks I'm bouta jump, jump, jump down a waterfall Inhale the lake, sweet death come upon me, yah I'm gloin' up, goin' up, jump comin' up If I don't kill myself before I see a million bucks I'm bouta jump, jump, jump down a waterfall Inhale the lake, sweet death come upon me, yah (upon me, yah) Uh Uh Uh Uh Uh Uh Uh Uh Uh Uh Uh Uh Uh Uh Uh Uh

Imposter Where are the seams in your crooked mask? Duplicate Why do you drape yourself in familiar skin? Automaton You merely imitate who I once loved You cannot be You cannot be You cannot be The echo maker took you from me Through eventide I wander blind Twilight eyes, seeking sight Amber designs Melt raptured skies Obscured lies, your glowing mind Nature has a cunning way To find our weakest spots Oh Delphic replica You shift me back to Ithaka Where we once fell in endless blue A hue no longer found in you In tongues, you emit memory In tongues, you emulate But your once earthly kiss, now alien Persuades me that you imitate You imitate You imitate I disassociate Beneath a golden temple of delusion I drain the honey Each Drip Falling from the tree of sight Each Drip A sun in my eyes And In That final drip I recognise you Through eventide (through eventide) I wander blind (I wander blind) Twilight eyes, seeking sight Amber designs (amber designs) Melt raptured skies Obscured lies, my glowing mind The fruit of my tree are sick and few Infection seething through and through I dance deluded in a chemical downpour Hoping that i'll see you once more To feel that vibrant love in agape Devoid of all chicanery To see the mask removed To see the colours of truth Melt, melt the amber To see the crystal blue Melt the amber To see the crystal blue Melt Melt the amber

Lucid, at the edge of the sky The blood moon calls to me As the sun burns out its light Numina: hold my hands, whilst I dance with entropy I can't bear to feel your sultry grip slip away from me Please don't let go, don't let me fall Into the darkness Into the angst and woe The angst and woe Into the angst and woe "Breathe," she says "Breath in the night..." The cold air will open your eyes To the other side, the other side of the divine "Bliss will not escort you through this forlorn abyss But wisdom and perception will greet you at the rift" "Heed these words, for once you flourish they will not last There's only so much sand in an hourglass" "Once you make the fall, all light will disappear This darkness will entomb you You'll find love with achlyss" This darkness will entomb you You'll find love Spiraling Endlessly Is this what it takes for ourselves to be free? If I give in to everything Will I be one with the mantra within? To kiss the lips of melancholy To hold hands with the mist of grief The echoes of the ancient ones, bid me to dance with death Everything, everything I loved was merely the shadow of youth My soul's voice calls out to Shiva Present to me your eternal mantra

The devils dance with me as I descend Such beauty smothers me; Euphoric dissonance Unmask the beauty in the abyss Where the ones with no eyes, sing elegies at my feet I dared to fix my eyes upon the light I stared so deep my vision was consumed And as I observed what it held in its depths The dreams i had lost Began to bloom Began to bloom Began to bloom Began to bloom Its creation, omniscient Such as the scattered leaves of time Its elegance fused in such a way That what i now describe Is but a glimmer of that light My thoughts, like black smoke, arose from my skull And shattered the sky that once shone above A broken symphony calls to me from the flames A haunting orchestra caressing the dreams i crave When I got lost in depths Their minds got lost in the flood I yearn for what they fear for, what they fear for Purgatory my love, take my soul and set it free I yearn for what they fear for, what they fear for When I got lost in depths Their minds got lost in the flood I yearn for what they fear for, what they fear for Purgatory my love, take my soul and set it free I yearn for what they fear for, what they fear for It was only in the nocturne, that she came to me A constricted figment of my discoveries A solemn guide that knew me better than I Who let me out of this pathetic lullaby Purgatory's calling out to me It was only in the nocturne that I came to her An unbound spirit from the mind of sepulchre When I got lost in depths Their minds got lost in the flood I yearn for what they fear for, what they fear for Purgatory my love, take my soul and set it free I yearn for what they fear for, what they fear for When I got lost in the depths, their minds lost in the flood Purgatory my love, take my soul and set it free Devil! Show me the light Devil! Can you show me the light? Devil! Let me indulge in the blight

I fought the beast and I broke his jaw I cut out his heart and I ate it raw I seen some people in misery Makes all my questions seem like luxury That's why I go to the outzone There I can ride on a love wave I climbed a mountain to the top It was just a very big rock After the up I have always found You can count on coming down That's why I go to the outzone There I can ride on a love wave I played guitar with a media star The entire event took place in a bar Where'd the kid go? is he in a funk? It's not your fault they filled your head with junk ... That's why I go to the outzone There I can ride on a love wave I heard some church bells toll through the woods I thought they'd done sellin' them goods Me, my sins are at the laundromat And when I'm clean I'm goin' back ... That's why I go to the outzone There I can ride on a love wave That's why I go to the outzone There I can ride on a love wave That's why I go to the outzone There I can ride on a love wave
