Rhythmus Tempore

from Shadow by Red Ankh

/

lyrics

You're just one beat off track for us
Submit to time, the system true
Waste not your mind on splitting hairs
Five, seven, nine
Take hold of snare between the toms
Raise your glass to propanium
Undo your belt, fill up on notes
Down, up, up, down

Typical, catches the ear some how
Atypical, fields of novelty
Bring it back, ebb and flow
Attention, distraction, bang the drum, fascination

Perfections are weird wide worlds away
Humanize while we still can

Switch to threes, bend your knees, get down in the dirt
Divide by three, then by four, or five or seven
Building blocks can be cracked, fuzed back back together
Do not fear a structure unknown

Take the time to write a rhythm's life
Feed it odd foods, see how it grows

Typical, catches the ear some how
Atypical, fields of novelty
Bring it back, ebb and flow
Attention, distraction, bang the drum, fascination

Bow in kind to traditional minds
They keep alive go-to molds
But if they cry when you break their mold
They are not your best friends
Check the minute, don't let it check you
Every second extra is a gem
Alien, per haps, but welcome strangers in
These ones, they can not hurt you

Five
Seven
Nine

Why stay where you are when great things are on the way
Take the time to criticize and find time in the day
To experiment with timbres out side of your home
Work within a frame of mind that will soon be your own

Rhythmus Tempore
Thythmus Tempore

March in time, be obliged to the even beat
Break the spell, forge a hell of a construct not easily decodable
