lyrics
M O N O L I T H
NOW WE TAKE A JOURNEY TO THE SUN,
TAKE A TRIP TO WHERE ALL LIFE BEGAN,
IT'S TIME TO LOOK BEYOND THAT WHICH WE KNOW,
TIME FOR US TO LET GO OF THE SOUL.
AS WE SEE THE BRIGHTNESS SHINE,
IT SEEMS TO US TO TAKE ALL TIME.
TO LEAVE BEHIND OUR LIVES AND SEE,
BEYOND OUR ASTRAL DESTINY.
WE HAVE TO TRY, WE HAVE TO TAKE THE CHANCE,
TO GAIN THE KNOWLEDGE, AND MAKE OURSELVES ADVANCE,
IT'S WRITTEN IN THE BRIGHT AND STARLIT SKY,
WE MUST EVOLVE, OR ELSE LIVE IN THIS LIE.
FROM THE CHRYSALIS WE GROW,
AND REACHING FROM THIS POINT WE KNOW,
THAT ALL IS NOT AS WE'VE BEEN TOLD,
TO FIND THE TRUTH IS NOW OUR GOAL.
WE HAVE TO SEE, WE HAVE TO KNOW.
TO FIND THE FUTURE, IS IN THE SONG.
REALITY, IS BUT A DREAM,
TO FIND THE TRUTH, TO FIND THE DREAM!
SO WE TAKE OUR TRIP INTO THE SUN,
WAY BEYOND THE POINT OF NO RETURN,
IT'S TIME TO GO THE ONLY WAY WE CAN,
TIME FOR US TO BE OURSELVES AGAIN.
AS THE BRIGHTNESS SHINE ON US,
FROM ALL AROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND,
AND ROUND AND ROUND THE PLANETS FLY,
IS IT TO MUCH TO REASON WHY?
CONTINUUM
OUR DESTINATION STILL UNKNOWN,
LIGHTYEARS FROM OUR FORMER HOME,
TO CONQUER SPACE, ABANDON TIME,
ONWARDS NOW WE CLIMB AND CLIMB.
NO TURNING BACK, THE COURSE IS SET,
TIME PAST MEMORIES, NO REGRET.
ONE MAN'S DREAM TO JOIN THE STARS,
NOW COMES TO LIFE FROM REALMS AFAR.
AND SO WE TAKE OUR DESTINY,
SHAPE A NEW REALITY,
FLYING THROUGH THE GALAXY,
OUR FUTURE TIME A MYSTERY.
MONOLITH REPRISE
WE HAVE TO LEARN, WE HAVE TO SEE,
WHAT'S IN THE FUTURE?
WE HAVE TO KNOW.
IT'S IN THE STARS,
IT'S IN THE SKIES,
IT'S IN THE STARS,
IN THE STARS,
IN THE STARS!
Ok, I'm biased as I'm on this, but in me humble opinion, it's another must have record, bouncy punky psychedelic surf industrial dance bastard. Watch this space for a full album very soon Mr. Dibs
This late ’90s shoegaze record gets a full remaster on the advent of its 25th anniversary, its woozy melodies brighter than ever. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 26, 2021
