Library of Force - Music For a New Society
When you kill enough of the world
We live in, we live in it
Then you smiled, crawling, as your houses were burning for God
Books crawl down from the shelves
Read themselves to you
Read themselves at you
In the library of force
In the library of force
William the conqueror flipping from the pages
Of history
Drink from the pages
Come the precious stones of guilt
The tracking of detention
Was lurking in the souls of man
From the last day of language
Beaten, bludgeoned, ransacked, stoned
The written word, written word, written word
Commands to the sky
To starve the sky and the crawling skin of God
We live in, we live in it
Then you smiled, crawling, as your houses were burning for God
Books crawl down from the shelves
Read themselves to you
Read themselves at you
In the library of force
In the library of force
William the conqueror flipping from the pages
Of history
Drink from the pages
Come the precious stones of guilt
The tracking of detention
Was lurking in the souls of man
From the last day of language
Beaten, bludgeoned, ransacked, stoned
The written word, written word, written word
Commands to the sky
To starve the sky and the crawling skin of God
