about

The opening introduction to this song was something we were playing live as an introduction to the song "Thank You For The Evil" and so this song was written as a sequel to that track - except rooted in piano vs. guitar.

lyrics

inquisitor

further on the tiger waits
he knows his meal is close to taste
the factions fighting blindly keep him smiling
and just when he may want to pounce
the voice of reason starts to sound
but no one thought to get it down in writing

well time’s a stealer, money walks
and all we get’s an empty box
but the debtor court is gleaming brightly
meanwhile as the tiger smiles
we gather in a single file
and sleepwalk
sleepwalk nightly

so all the dreaming people
arriving in their line
whilst he remains in hiding
all in good time

high above the eagle-flies
drones are watching from the skies
they supervise, they supervise
so am i being ominous
or don’t you think they notice us
just pieces in their game
but she’s out there wailing
beware the sunrise
when all the world is watching
all in real time

mum’s the word we have to say
our father left us far away
but always we’re crawling back
trust me, we are past between
where something real is happening
down the rabbit hole to find the tracks
those hypnotizing mesmerists
the greedy black-ops alchemists
disinformation – it’s theirs to share
if you have to go away
i’ll make a place to stowaway
i’ll hide you there, i’ll hide you there

shake off the breakdown
there’s something to see
our whole human fortune is on the retreat
let’s turn around now, position our ears
expect the solution
there’s nothing to fear

fear, the great inquisitor
that never welcome visitor
who brings us pain
with no attack
looking through two vacant eyes
it’s sure to come as no surprise
you try to get away
it wants you back
but deep down undercover
where all good secrets go
we’ll wait in the corner
in faith the truth will show
deep under cover
wait in faith

all they want to know is what we’ve done
abandon any hope
it has begun
no, they can’t believe
we struggled on in the silence
‘cos we were convinced
that the answer was coming

clear out the wreckage
prepare it for seed
it’s always been fertile
but we were deceived
nothing is broken
and everything clears
we’re all here together
together, we are here
