lyrics
Travel These Realms Nurturing Spirits
Travel these realms, nurturing spirits
from feeling so low
to become all seeing
blessed, we are
These words few choose to keep
Lost dancing in their sleep
Lost dancing in their sleep
Lost dancing in their sleep
So what will you do now,
when I call upon you to kemet?
When everything you did for you,
came from the death and destruction of others?
What will you do now?
What will you do now?
Huh?
What would have me say now,
living deep within the realm?
Isolation feeding my ignorance.
Not that difficult to tell.
Wish I could've been with you more, then.
I blame myself, and still I'm felt.
I may need help, and still have wealth,
and still catch hell.
Regardless of what y'all people saying,
what y'all people saying?
What y'all people saying?
What?
What?
What y'all people saying?
What y'all people saying?
(For this test, a few drops of water are used
to moisten the corner of an ordinary desk blotter)
(The old versus the new)
(It doesn't make any sense)
(Hey)
(Look, I'm supposed to play a record for you)
(You're the only one I can talk to)
Get it on
This is not a test, no.
Hope you've been preparing.
Time, I am the essence.
Plenty for my lessons.
Get it on.
We began the future.
We need no attention.
Will you heed the new word?
Will you heed the call?
Get it on
This is not a test, no.
Hope you've been preparing.
Time, I am the essence.
Plenty for my lessons.
Get it on.
We began the future.
We need no attention.
Will you heed the new word?
Will you heed the call?
Delicious sonic textures, lyrics channeling an unusual devotion to daily life and a voice who's owner (some say) drinks too much coffee. Slightly better than cigarettes, I suppose.
