Lyrics[edit | edit source]


In the presence of another world
You guess the things unguessed
In the fullness of another world
There is no emptiness

In the promise of another world
A dreadful knowledge comes
How even space can modulate
And earthly things be done

Your master, he's a monster
He will come on a bridge of paper
Inscribed with a hundred names of God
But he can count one more
The curse of life eternal
Written on the door

(Your master) He's a monster
(Your master) He's a monster
(Your master) He's a monster

In the presence of another world
A dreadful knowledge comes
How even space can modulate
And earthly things be done

In the fullness of another world
There is no emptiness

(Your master)
(Your master)
(Your master)

(Your master)
(Your master)
(Your master)
(Your master)
(Your master) Your master is a monster
(Your master) Born of a yolkless egg
(Your master) He has dominion over animals
(Your master) He walks the world, entrail diviner
(Your master) And when the stars are right
(Your master) He locks the door behind the door behind the door
(Your master) The Milky Way abyss inclines
(Your master) The seven years of labor for the instruments of time
(Your master) The seven years of labor for the instruments of time
(Your master) The seven years of labor for the instruments of time
(Your master) The seven years of labor for the instruments of time
(Your master) The seven years of labor for the instruments of time
(Your master) The seven years of labor for the instruments of time
(Your master) Your master is a monster
(Your master) And gentlemanly too
(Your master) He'll make for us some new germ
(Your master) With pieces of the perfect black
(Your master) The alpha and omega
(Your master) The double peaks of Mars
(Your master) The maze of his infinity
(Your master) The buried city in the stars
(Your master)
(Your master)


In the presence of another world
You guess the things unguessed
In the fullness of another world
There is no emptiness

In the promise of another world
A dreadful knowledge comes
How even space can modulate
And earthly things be done

Your master, he's a monster
He will come on a bridge of paper
Inscribed with a hundred names of God
But he can count one more
The curse of life eternal
Written on the door

(Your master) He's a monster
(Your master) He's a monster
(Your master) He's a monster

Oh!

Oh, no!

In the presence of another world
A dreadful knowledge comes
How even space can modulate
And earthly things be done

In the fullness of another world
There is no emptiness

(Your master)
(Your master)
(Your master)

(Your master)
(Your master)
(Your master)
(Your master) Your master is a monster
(Your master) Born of a yolkless egg
(Your master) He has dominion over animals
(Your master) He walks the world, entrail diviner
(Your master) And when the stars are right
(Your master) He locks the door behind the door behind the door
(Your master) The Milky Way abyss inclines
(Your master) The seven years of labor for the instruments of time
(Your master) The seven years of labor for the instruments of time
(Your master) The seven years of labor for the instruments of time
(Your master) Your master is a monster
(Your master) And gentlemanly too
(Your master) He'll make for us some new germ
(Your master) With pieces of the perfect black
(Your master) The alpha and omega
(Your master) And double peaks of Mars
(Your master) The maze of his infinity
(Your master) The buried city
(Your master)

(Your master) In the stars
