How do you all think the song 'Further Adventures of the Time Being' relates to 'The Time Being' & it's lyrics...
I think the two encompass a very unique moment of The Church's history... Where it was mainly just SK & MWP. I think that in some ways they experimented so much more w/ SA/SE & MATS and these Time Being songs are a great product of that creativity... Would the Time Being songs have gone on if it continued to be just the two (SK & MWP), or did they say enough w/ the two songs?
As for the actual contents within the songs, I see that they both create great imagery & visualizations, and have a human / civilization historical aspect... The Time Being is a seer of all time & history & the songs are like his journal of sorts. I don't think that the Time Being is SK simply because MWP sings 'Further Adventures...' I see the Time Being having human qualities but is not human. Also I see him as having God like qualites, but is not a God... Kind of suspended between the two.
They built the Pyramids,
toiled the tons of stone
Irrigated deserts,
made giant golden thrones
the palaces in India
and a dome on the moon
illustrated cielings, graced god w/ strange choirs
????????bythousand???
built cities of spires???
Felt the pull of science
and reveled in their might
charted celetial bodies
and were punished for their finds
conquered snowflake mountains
drove jungles to retreat
were drowned in vicious rapids
and were held before their feet? (feats???)
Fantasized in Babylon
built a home in space
scaled the wall of China
prehistoric human art????
won battles w/out hope
and turned men into gods???
Still we hide their faces well
unbetrayed by hevan or hell
only traces to be found
over the history resound??
disconnected they displayed
over discoveries they made
and now they wander around the earth
beyond the realms of death & ???
If you look you'll see them there
like clouds hanging in the air
and they said the earth was flat
sailed off the world into a vat??
turned the planets into ???
then played marbles like small boys
invented love
invented hate
hung them off the arms of fate
hear them whisper
hear them speak
seems they've found what we still seek
(cool ambient part of song for 2 minutes)
