172.70.134.176: /* Slam Poetry Rap */

===Verse 1===

Still night, three o'clock 
The fog creeps into town 
You can't see past the next two blocks 
Your gaze is driven down 

===Slam Poetry Rap===

The neighbours' faces all eclipsed 
Amidst the mist, you cannot glimpse 
The girl whose inner world of words 
Unfurls and whirls inside her brainpan 
The man who stands and hammers out a jam 
His fix consists 
Of eliciting licks 
With the flick of his wrist 
And mixing rhythmic tricks into a musical apocalypse 
The child who sits with building bricks 
He unpicks and affixes till 
His vision sticks 
His starfish mitts 
They clench and twist 
In stout, determined, baby fists: 
One and all, just how it is 
In schism 
In the abysm 
Of the mist

===Pre-Chorus 1===

Between the heat and cold there is the fog 
And human warmth is spread increasing thin 

===Chorus===

Separation, slow dispersion 
Of tiny points of light 
Soon achieving cold inertion 
They can't contend against entropic end 

===Verse 2===

You can't see the stars that shine in the sky 
The fog is way too dense 
Can't see another person, wave hello 
To try would make no sense

With heads bowed down to trace our steps 
Count cracks and crevices 
We never lift our eyes to meet the gaze 
Of the cloud of witnesses 

Eking out our feeble lives 
And never seeing face to face 
Tired roles we endlessly reprise 
One stroke and we're erased 

===Bridge===

The Word came to me in a roundabout way 
So I'm calling on that ancient Muse 
And as I stand before you now 
I see your faces unconfused 

Between the cold and heat there is the fog 
Sparks are flying upward on the wind 

===Slam Poetry versicle===

The everpresent cloud of smoke, the mist 
Rising from the coals, thrice-blest 
Eclipses faces 'midst the gentle but unwavering effluence of light: 
Stand aright! 

===Verse 3===

The Lord possessed me at the first 
By the Self-same has renewed the earth 
Remember, Man, that dust thou art 
A dying ember on the hearth 

===Chorus===

Separation, slow dispersion 
Of tiny points of light 
Soon achieving cold inertion 
They can't contend against entropic end 

===Chorus 2===

Separation, slow dispersion 
Into the chill of night 
Unfit alone to bear the burden 
We face the end - Wisdom! Let us attend.

===Verse 1===

Never much was one for plans, it's true 
But don't you tell me I should think it through 
Just seventeen, libertine, it would seem that's me tonight

Won't call her dad to have a friendly chat 
Don't give a damn about tomorrow's SAT 
'Cause it's here, and it's now, and my lightning is about to strike

===Chorus===

We could be gods 
Is there something else you're waiting for? 
We could be gods 
Come on and join me in the great outdoors 
I don't even know what I'm doing 
But there's something 'bout it seems so right to me 
Like the seasons as they keep renewing 
And the spring awakens budding trees 
We could be deities

===Verse 2===

My dad sat me down and told me, "Son, it's well time 
That you left behind this life of debauch. 
Stop all this screwing around, it's time you settled down 
And started thinking with your head, not your crotch." 

Well, who the hell died and made you Ancient of Days 
To tell me what I should and should not do? 
Damned if you'll shackle me before I'm nailed to a tree 
Or I become an old man just like you

===Chorus===

We could be gods 
Is there something else you're waiting for? 
We could be gods 
Come on and rule with me forevermore 
I don't even know what I'm doing 
But it's something seems so right to me 
Like the seasons as they keep renewing 
And the spring awakens sleeping trees 
We could be deities

===Verse 3===

Summer's gone and she's gone away 
I always knew that it would end this way 
Did I hope, did I think somehow that we'd be forever?

Still I can't help but contemplate 
If this was all a fluke or was it fate 
When the sons of God rejoiced and the stars sang together?

===Charles 2===

We could be gods 
Now I'm diggin' deep for diamond ore 
We could be gods 
I'm hearin' voices prophesying war 
I don't even know what I should do 
The whole world cannot contain my fear 
Like the autumn chill that kills the summer bloom 
As the stars are raining bitter tears 
And casting down their spears
