Production notes:
---------------------------------------------
Very early on we wanted to use autoharps on this song to create a sort of swirling backdrop, reminiscent of the harps in Indian/Bollywood soundtrack songs of the seventies.

Right away there were challenges because the song is in B flat and is not wholly diatonic to begin with, utilizing a chord built on the augmented lydian scale in the choruses. So rather than transpose the song to a more amenable key (since the chromatic bits weren't going to work no matter what key we used) we instead re-tuned the autoharp. Moving through the strings one by one we tuned them either up or down a half step where applicable to bring them into key. Where the augmented chord hit in the choruses, we excluded those notes so that the autoharp was filling the diatonic parts of the chords and omitting the accidentals. It took us several tries to get it right. In the end we arrived at a chord progression that could be strummed on the autoharp and the modified chords could be played with existing dampers.

We also tuned the lyre so that the top half of the strings included the chromatic augmented notes while the lower register of the lyre was tuned using the diatonic, so the lyre could play the melody all the way through both parts of the song.

The inspiration for this song was essentially fourfold:
--------------------------------------------------------
First, H.P. Lovecraft's terrifying necromancer Joseph Curwen (from "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward") who masked his true identity in order to thwart suspicion from his fellow townsfolk. He has many secrets lurking in his underground catacombs where he performs acts of necromancy most foul, extracting the "salts" of the dead in order to raise them at will and learn the secrets of ancient eldritch deities.

Second, a poem by Rudyard Kipling titled "En-Dor" which was a warning against the rise of spiritualism and the cost of communion with the dead in the early 20th century.

Third, the biblical Saul who traveled in disguise to visit a witch at the city of Endor in order to summon Samuel from the dead and garner advice on defeating the Philistines, but who only prophesies doom for Saul. Saul dies later the next day in the battle of Gilboa.

Lastly, the story of Odysseus communing with the underworld where he enlists the help of Tiresias to have a chat with the dead and secure for himself a safe journey home.

They all seek communion with the dead for one purpose: to gain knowledge which only those who have crossed over between realms might possess. 

Lyrics:
-------------------------------------
A mask may reveal what it’s meant to conceal
From those who are standing beside us
Armor of pride, so we learn to abide
By the monsters which hide deep inside us
The monsters which lurk deep inside us
Oh, how they scratch and they bite us
The monsters which lurk deep inside us

Only to know what the professor knows

Eating black bread, wearing clothes of the dead
The soil soaked in honey around us
For fear if we failed, leave the ogre unveiled
And it’s back in the grave where they found us
Back in the grave where they found us
Freed from the ties which had bound us
Back in the grave where they found us

Only to know what the professor knows

In the catacomb vaults, we extracted the salts
From cadavers to lengthen our youth
Chanting the names at the edge of the flames
And a mirror to show us the truth
A mirror which speaks only truth
See how it seeks not to soothe
A mirror which speaks only truth

Only to know what the professor knows

In the underworld maze, in the night of no days
Concocting the plan we’re devising
Much to endure on the road to En-Dor
And to snatch from Elohim arising
To snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising

The Professor

I'm sorry y'all--this is another downer of a song with preachy lyrics but it's an idea that came up and demanded to be completed. 

The only side I take is the human one, but I couldn't have more contempt for the ostensible leaders of both Gaza and Israel who seek their own interests at the cost of so much suffering among innocents. Nothing good comes out of "Let's go kill some people."



You Let This Happen

have you understood that this is the final warning call
abandon hope all those that linger here

you lived the diamond life and could not lend your ears
and now the sand is wet with blood beyond our wildest fears 
how could you let this happen here

we plant the seeds of death beside the seeds of life 
so they can pay the price and have the will to fight

the bloodied face that no one could identify
now here's the news that was a mother's precious baby
how could you let this happen here

so how do you think this story ends
when it begins with the death of innocents
another thousand years of war is in the cards
another generation with daggers in their hearts

and you let it happen

Lyrics:

Do the monsters from the dark dimension tell campfire stories too?
Do the monsters from the realm of unknown make the antagonist out of you?

Sick and Disgusting
Perverted and untrusting
A planet just crusting with parasitical bustings from the wombs of the wicked
We are so addicted
To the madness afflicted
All the way from restricted

Do you even know what crafts a monster that walks on many toes?
Does it go any further than the realms outside the veins of your blood flow?

Do the monsters from the dark dimension tell campfire stories too?
Do the monsters from the realm of unknown make the antagonist out of you?

Who are all the Monsters in all the pages?
We are all the monsters! Let's burn the sages!
Who are all the monsters in all the pages?
We are all the monsters let's burn the sages!

Who are all the monsters?
Who are all the monsters?
Who are all the monsters?
We are all the monsters!

You can't cleanse me
I can't cleanse you
So let's sail the sinful seas
In a little Brittle black canoe

Prod. Riddiman x The Mysterious Decibel - Who Are All The Monsters?

In the quaint suburban, preciously one square mile neighborhood of Willowbrook, a peculiar phenomenon unfolds beneath the facade of everyday life. Here, amidst the picket fences and neatly trimmed lawns, lies a secret known only to its inhabitants: the ability to walk through walls. It's a gift that defies logic, a quirk of reality that shapes the lives of those who call Willowbrook home.

Ma France je te regarde
Et parfois j’ai la honte
De ta mine blafarde
La seule que tu montres
Tous ces gens qui postulent
A vouloir diriger
En deviennent ridicules
Sous leurs faces cachées
Ils nous parlent de leurs coeurs
Qui ne sait que t’aimer
Mais bien loin le bonheur
Qu’ils veulent te donner,

Ma France je te regarde
Et parfois j’ai la honte
Ces violeurs de nos âmes
Qui s’en tirent à bon compte
Combien de protègés
Nous déclarent leurs profils
Quand notre liberté
Ne tient plus qu’à un fil
On ne peut leur faire dire
Que leur langue fourchue
Ne fait que détruire
Les promesses attendues

Ma France je te regarde
Et parfois j’ai la honte
Si peu que je m’attarde
J’ai la colère qui monte
Je n’en peux plus de vous
Nos Monsieurs bien casés
Me disant que c’est nous
Qui vous avons voté
Naïfs de vos promesses
Y croyant de son mieux
Mais quand dite est la messe
On dégueule sur les vœux

Ma France je te regarde
Et parfois j’ai la honte
Nous ne sommes pas en rade
Comme on nous le raconte
Je ne suis pas à plaindre
Je joins les deux bouts
Mais combien à atteindre
Une fin de mois sans sous
Dans un pays aussi riche
Pourquoi des sans abri
Et que tous ceux qui trichent
Ne sont jamais punis

Ma France je te regarde
Et parfois j’ai la honte
Faudra t’il que les armes
Un jour te le montre
Pour en faire une leçon
A tes beaux protégés
Qui nous prennent pour des cons
Et ne font que léser
Notre fleur au canon
En signe de liberté
Aura un jour raison
Des au-dessus planqués

MY FRANCE

My France, I'm looking at you
And sometimes I'm ashamed
From your pale mine
The only one you watch
All these people who apply
To want to lead
Become ridiculous
Under their hidden faces
They tell us about their hearts
Who does not know how to love you
But far away happiness
That they want to give you,

My France, I'm looking at you
And sometimes I'm ashamed
These rapists of our souls
Who are getting off cheaply
How many protégés
We declare their profiles
When our freedom
Holds only one thread
We can not make them say
That their tongue forked
Only destroy
Expected promises

My France, I'm looking at you
And sometimes I'm ashamed
So little that I linger
I have anger rising
I can not stand any more of you
Our well-dressed gentlemen
Telling me it's us
Who you voted
Naive of your promises
Believing his best
But when said is the mass
We're kidding on the wishes

My France, I'm looking at you
And sometimes I'm ashamed
We are not stuck
As we are told
I'm not sorry
I join the two ends
But how much to reach
End of month without sub
In a country so rich
Why homeless
And all those who cheat
Are never punished

My France, I'm looking at you
And sometimes I'm ashamed
Will it be that the weapons
One day shows it to you
To make it a lesson
To your beautiful protégés
Who take us for cons
And only hurt
Our cannon flower
In sign of freedom
Will one day be right
From above
