Cracker Island Live Intro* Lyrics

[Spoken: Ben Mendelsohn]
They believed that a great reckoning was coming
A time when all the lies, and the shit, and the garbage
Piled up so high, a giant, writhing, supercharged mass would
Rise into the clouds, casting everything in shadow
But not all will be lost in the dark, for righteous are the lambs
Who nourish this great corruption
Feeding it more lies and malicious code, infecting it yet further
Until critical overload is reached, when all shall be wiped clean
And the tyranny of the algorithm shall be no more
And afterward, the collective of the new dawn will see clearly
For the first time, and learn the One True Story
A story which ends at the beginning of a new reality
When, as one being, we shall be born anew and rise again

[Outro: Ben Mendelsohn]
Elevator, going up

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
