THE KOVENANT LYRICS
"S.E.T.I. Club" (2003 EP)
1. Star By Star (club edit)
2. Neon
3. Planet of the Apes
4. The Perfect End (club edit)
1. Star By Star (club edit)
We were alone and on our own, in the dark between the stars
From the shadows to the pyre, amidst the chaos, from the stars
Love, life and liberty, Hate, death and captivity
Like a stain of starless darkness, across the canvas of space
Star by Star
Corrupting all of humanity
So much alike are we
When I see you I see me
Galaxies glitter in the black night sky, Towards progress, towards death
From the stars we have come, and to the stars we will return
The violence of passion - The passion of violence
The perverse impulses - The savage egoism
The wicked presence - The wicked essence
The thing that unites us - The thing that divides us
Star by Star
Corrupting all of humanity
So much alike are we
When I see you I see me
2. Neon
Bastard proclamations of a dying nation
Social deconstruction through deceit and deception
Hit us with your pointing stick
Golden arches crucifix
We will never be like you
Subliminal derangment of the human senses
Corporate illusions of holy intervention
Vulture culture history
Television ministry
We will never be like you
Let me be your neon god
We've got brand new illusions for your plastic souls
Were all wired up and ready to go
Because gravity means nothing now
A man made messiah of concrete and steel
Instant salvation through your t.v.screen
Let me be your god....
Subdue your maker - Subdue your maker
I am the giver and I am the taker
Subdue your maker - Subdue your maker
All succomb to me...
Let me be your neon god
We've got brand new illusions for your plastic souls
Were all wired up and ready to go
Because gravity means nothing now
A man made messiah of concrete and steel
Instant salvation through your t.v.screen
Let me be your god....
3. Planet of the Apes
To many lies breeds to many flies
It's evolution through confusion
Hate is never without reason
Love is never without treason
Monkey see - Monkey do
Evolution was never true
Of all the lies they feed to you
What you see is what you do
Monkey me and monkey you
"Godly" parasites in massive invasion
Deformed creation... Unnatural Invention
Procreate, then desecrate - Inseminate, then devastate
No hope for humanity...It's a planet of apes
Monkey see - Monkey do
Evolution was never true
Of all the lies they feed to you
What you see is what you do
Monkey me and monkey you
Nothing new ever came out of someone like you
Don't decieve yourself thinking that you know what to do
What will you do when all your toys are broken
What will you say when all your lines are spoken
No hope for humanity.... it's a planet of apes
Gently violated and desecrated
The quintessential art of self-destruction
You left behind the will to believe in nothing
You are never going to be what you want to be
Monkey see - Monkey do
Evolution was never true
Of all the lies they feed to you
What you see is what you do
Monkey me and monkey you
4. The Perfect End (club edit)
Look at me and tell me what you see
I am not what you think I am
Too weird to live, too rare to die
Haloed in the headlights of death
Is this Hell disguised as heaven?
Is this death masquerading as life?
So much is said, so little shown
I see no reason, I feel no end
This is not a happy ending
This is not a last goodbye
Open your eyes and stop pretending
This is not the perfect end
This is not a new beginning
This is not a last farewell
Open your eyes and stop pretending
This is not the perfect end
Stitched up like a ragged doll
Wrapped around your naked soul
I am what you know as temptation
I am the ancient deception
I wish I could leave this world behind
I wish I had the will to end it all
But I shall paint my nightmares
And things will never be the same again
This is not a happy ending
This is not a last goodbye
Open your eyes and stop pretending
This is not the perfect end
This is not a new beginning
This is not a last farewell
Open your eyes and stop pretending
This is not the perfect end
