Deus - The Architect lyrics
[Deus - The Architect lyrics]
Ah, nevermind that space stuff
Let’s get down to earth!
What is the architect doing?
He is by the riverside
What is he thinking out there?
He is committing egocide
Now isn't that a strange thing?
Well to him it feels just
Well, we guess a person's gotta do
What a person feels he must
He said: I won't throw myself from the pier
I'm gonna go home and shut up for a year
And when the year is over I'll reappear
And have a solution
I've reason to believe that what I find
Is gonna change the face of humankind
And all these years before well I was blind
That's my conclusion
'Cause I'm the architect
(I think it’s touch and go)
'Cause I'm the architect
(I think it’s touch and go)
'Cause I'm the architect
Now the man has understood
That outer space is overrated and too
About all the problems on
This earth we should
Worry now to solve them later
And so he's brooding and alluding
On a perfect design
He thinks that working on behalf
Of himself is a crime
He flushes out by the water, a view so divine
He's the architect of his own fate
A man in his prime
He said: I won't throw myself from the pier
I'm gonna go home and shut up for a year
And when the year is over I'll reappear
And have a solution
I've reason to believe that what I find
Is gonna change the face of humankind
And all these years before well I was blind
That's my conclusion
'Cause I'm the architect
(I think it’s touch and go)
'Cause I'm the architect
(I think it’s touch and go)
'Cause I'm the architect
I think it’s touch and go
And I think we’re going to make it
Don’t let up
Don’t let up, or we won‘t make it
Don’t let up
Don’t let up, or we won‘t make it
And so he drew himself a pentagon
Thinking it through a geodesic dome
From the coast of Tahiti
To the hills of Rome step aside
‘cause the man will take the Nobel prize home
He said: I won't throw myself from the pier
I'm gonna go home and shut up for a year
And when the year is over I'll reappear
And have a solution
Now, if these aspirations bother you
Well you are just you, you don't have a clue
I'm sticking to the plan I
Will see it through
Let there be no confusion
'Cause I'm the architect
(I think it’s touch and go)
'Cause I'm the architect
(I think it’s touch and go)
'Cause I'm the architect
Let’s get down to earth!
What is the architect doing?

What is he thinking out there?
He is committing egocide
Now isn't that a strange thing?

Well, we guess a person's gotta do

And when the year is over I'll reappear

And all these years before well I was blind
