Broken Beat & Scarred (Live - November 15, 2010 - Adelaide, Australia)

Read-read-read
note-note-note
footnote the soul of a mole in a coat
Ink-ink-ink
scratch-scratch-scratch
argue ‘bout the meaning of the word dispatch
Mark-mark-mark
quote-quote-quote
stack your sources ‘til the shelves revolt

Our coffee’s black as our funding gap
our deadlines bend like a yoga map
We publish thoughts no one will heed
but glory’s in the planted seed

Work-work-work, until the thought gets weird
debate the length of an unseen beard
Draft-draft-draft, then tear the page
we’re the chorus and the cage

We mine in texts nobody reads
stacking scrolls like ancient reeds
A grant’s a dragon guarding lore
you flatter it, it gives you more

Work-work-work, till the candles die
rewrite the truth with a scholar’s lie
Proof-proof-proof till the moon’s been spun
and toast to the joy of the kingdom of Some

Ink-stained hands and a mind half-mad
argue with ghosts you never had
Measure the weight of a metaphor’s bone
and carve your thesis into stone

Trade your hours for immortal lines
digging through dust for half-formed signs
Argue ‘til dawn on a point obscure
declare the riddle “still unsure”

Who holds the key to the scholar’s vault?
"We do! We do! It’s all our fault!"
Who stacks the scrolls ‘til the shelves cave in?
"We do! We do! Let the work begin!"

Push-push-push the ink along
sing-sing-sing the unwritten song
laugh-laugh-laugh at the scholar’s jest
then bind it in the Book of Rest
Dig-dig-dig through the dusty mind
find-find-find what the rest won’t find

Work-work-work, until the thought gets weird
debate the length of an unseen beard
Draft-draft-draft, then tear the page
we’re the chorus and the cage

And when the ink runs dry at last
we drink to the future
and footnote the past
Read-read-read
Write-write-write

Work-work-work, until the thought gets weird
debate the length of an unseen beard
Draft-draft-draft, then tear the page
we’re the chorus and the cage

Work-Work-Work

Master Of The Heart - Darker Still

46. The Retreat in Which Monsieur Louis of France Says His Prayers

A tribute to the thrash legends! HEAR IT!

Dream No More (Metallica Cover)

Inspirada particularmente por el relato corto La llamada de Cthulhu de H. P. Lovecraft. Esta canción apareció en el segundo álbum de la banda, Ride the Lightning, en 1984. Fue escrita por Cliff Burton, James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich y Dave Mustaine. La canción se refiere a un cuento de terror cósmico en el que un ser llamado Cthulhu yace desde hace milenios bajo el mar; este ser es un cazador de sombras malignas de las cuales los humanos somos presas.

Todos los instrumentos fueron interpretados, grabados, editados y mezclados por Ruben Amaya....
