Pyramid Blue

lyrics

Under a pyramid blue
Lie the remains of Klaatu
Died at the hand of his son
By this deed empire was won

Murder is never sanctified
Or Godhood gained by patricide
The Heavens will ring to celebrate your time
Heathens attack the catacombs
Knowledge is lost, infernal doom!
The Heaven you bring is no better a lie than mine

Deep in the pyramid blue
Reigns the spirit of Klaatu
Killed by an aberrant son
Destined through death to return
Drawn by a terrible fate
By thousands of years too late
Taken by land and by sea
His evil essence set
Free!

Now he’s stalking the corridors of an oligarchy you know well
You see them infecting your screen, opening Windows to Hell
Always so impeccably coiffured, so beautifully turned
But still we only watch as all we love is burned
And never listen, even as we’re warned

Something horribly ancient is crawling its way into their minds
Giving itself permission to pervert whatever it finds
Gathering to itself everything it has lost
Sun worship
Human sacrifice
Punitive taxation!

Let there be a bloodletting upon the full Moon
After a moment of somber reflection
Klaatu contemplated the insurrection
And in a fit of self actuation
Finally saw the purpose of the nation

I am your King!
