Kali Yuga Über Alles

N.C. One of the saddest things about the modern world is that people live in a tiny time slice which they carry forward with them. Nothing remains. N.C. The centuries to them are completely dark. Just un-illumined corridors  through which they stagger into a single little sliver of light. N.C. Every great civilization has a record of a period of a golden age, when there was no war, no dispute, no lying. Em It's not by shunning darkness that you'll know light Not holy fields of wood alive, of stone alive Em And up in the rooms of your barren house You're reassembling language to keep realities out Em I know your credentials, and I know you'll tell In this game of reeds, in the logic of the spell Em My burning attachment to contingencies For who wills the end, may will the means Bm C Em When it's only fools and firebrand (Kali yuga, uber alles) Bm C Em The books of law in the arsonist's hands (Kali yuga, uber alles) Bm C Em Pretend to know me, and I'll pretend to care (Kali yuga, uber alles) Bm C Em And nothing lasts, that hesitates out there Em Time to collect the stones, and what our guards left behind Stray out of being, and out of time Em I know your credentials, I know your tell Embracing that death you know so well Bm C Em When it's only fools and firebrand (Kali yuga, uber alles) Bm C Em The books of law in the arsonist's hands (Kali yuga, uber alles) Bm C Em Pretend to know me, and I'll pretend to care (Kali yuga, uber alles) Bm C Em And nothing lasts, that hesitates out there Bm C Em When it's only fools and firebrand (Kali yuga, uber alles) Bm C Em The books of law in the arsonist's hands (Kali yuga, uber alles) Bm C Em Pretend to know me, and I'll pretend to care (Kali yuga, uber alles) Bm C Em And nothing lasts, that hesitates out there Spoken Finnish Bm Jätän sinut kaaokseesi C Joka ei ole enää osani Em Sillä olen myrskyn silmässä Olen sen elävä keskus Em Olen muinainen järjestys Ja mikä on Kaaosta on minulle toisarvoista Em Sen maailman riekaleita Joka ei enää koske minua
