about

There’s a whole world below us, unseen. We are undermined by circumstance and deliberate sabotage. These creatures are not human, barely recognisable as living, yet they are everywhere, in every committee, in every decision made by those who wish to avoid the consequences of their actions. To the creatures of the deep the surface and the sky are one destination. And Gargantuan is coming.

lyrics

We are the ones who live far below your feet
We are the ones who hide under your street
We are the ones you don’t see when you look down
We are the ones, our lies undermine your town

Dig and you die, go deep underground
You are the sky, we hear every sound
Footsteps falling rattle like a drum
Frying like a worm when the morning comes

Here in the darkness we can see you
Don’t go for help, no-one will believe you
Our day will come
Our day will come
Our day will come!

We have no sun
We have no lungs
We have no tongues
We have no air

[Frank Zappa: Reality is invented for you.]

Further in the deep Gargantuan
Makes his way up toward the sun
Rosemary (his eternal muse)
Promises a love he dare not refuse
Eyes on the prize, it lies on the horizon
It’s not surprising how fast he’s rising
Gargantuan will meet the day

We have no sun
We have no lungs
We have no tongues
We have no air
