Lyrics:Deep in the pages of historyLies a shadow hiding in a mysteryA late night story buried far awayUntil it once again sees the light of dayAnd when the little colts and fillies turn out all lightsAnd tell a story of a factory as black as nightThe luxury of rainbows comes at a priceJust ignore the screams, and don't think twiceYou've proven to yourself and to all of usThat you're not fit to fly like a PegasusYou don't even deserve those wings you bearWhen you stand beside a legend, you don't even compareAll of the failures help to fuel successIn the bloody and visceral weather game of ChessAnd just because you've disappointed you'll pay the priceNow accept your fate and die in the Pegasus DevicePhantom screams echo through the ruined facilityA horrible silence builds an eerie tranquilityThe souls of many innocent fill the airAnd the hope that they all died with scattered here and thereA mighty machine built within the wakeOf a long dead dream, little demon awakeThe citizens sleep, never quite knowing whenThe device will reawaken, hungry againYou've proven to yourself and to all of usThat you're not fit to fly like a PegasusYou don't even deserve those wings you bearWhen you stand beside a legend, you don't even compareAll of the failures help to fuel successIn the bloody and visceral weather game of ChessAnd just because you've disappointed you'll pay the priceNow accept your fate and die in the Pegasus Device(pause)All of the failures help to fuel successIn the bloody and visceral weather game of ChessAnd just because you've disappointed you'll pay the priceNow accept your fate and die in the Pegasus DeviceI don't even remember my pastI don't remember who I used to beI don't even remember my friends of oldI don't remember my destinyMy mane is purple and my coat is orange What I've become? I have no idea.I only know one simple thingThe name they gave me: AbsentiaYou've proven to yourself and to all of usThat you're not fit to fly like a PegasusYou don't even deserve those little wings you bearWhen you stand beside a legend, you don't even compareAll of the failures help to fuel successIn the bloody and visceral weather game of ChessAnd just because you've disappointed you'll pay the priceNow accept your fate and die in the Pegasus DeviceI don't even recognize your rainbow maneWhen you hide it behind that mask of shameYou don't even deserve those wings you bearYou used to be a legend, a righteous mareAll of the failures help to fuel successIn your bloody and visceral weather game of ChessAnd then you sit upon your throne and you roll your diamond diceAnd you send us all to die in your Pegasus DeviceIn the Rainbow Factory, where fears and horrors come trueIn the Rainbow Factory, where not a single soul gets throughIn the Rainbow Factory, where failures pay their tollNow I've awoken, and I'm taking back control

Song Against Songs, The by G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011.Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia ) Random Song Encounters Gene Vincent The idea is presenting a weekly random playlist of songs with commentary, and no specific ties to decade, genre, popularity, or anything else. Mostly from the world of rock and pop, but occasionally venturing into other musical genres when the urge strikes. Something to keep me occupied and out of trouble… Heroes and tales of Old Britain Lunapilot Beloved Britain celebrated in song. Some are humorous in intent, some merely in retrospect, some are just here because Wavlake doesn't have a "Random influences" category for albums and everyone's humour is different anyway! The subheading "Novelty" is probably a better fit as most of these songs you will only want to hear once! ;) Oh, all songs in this album were made using Udio.
