Procession of Souls / Due Time

from Procession of Souls by Bad Monad

/

about

The first two movements of the Procession of Souls Suite.
Intensely improvisational yet strictly arranged, this may very well be considered our flagship piece.

lyrics

Procession of Souls

I walked by the river
Drinking our sorrow
And I retraced
My steps here until now

We all consulted
The poets, profits, and sages
To what avail? I said
“Are there any answers out here?”

I did not fall to the deceit of man
Or to the unkindliness of time
But rather to
What I will relate to you

But rather to
The weakness of my own vessel
Treat well the ship that carries thought
So that it may carry you
Nous – the world as mind


World as mind
Far beyond your or my mind

A many fold of many places,
Many people

There’s no answer to be told
My story, it goes

You can never know.
About God, about Souls
Magic ritual
I am the procession of souls
Possessed by a realm you cannot see
Deny faith to believe
Hear these words they make no sense
Take this as my recompense


You’ve seen it happen
Hits every time with Deja-vu
Where the map ends
Is just a new beginning

Which beauty defends
Resonating with the sound of 1000 choruses



Give me some of that
Need more vibrations in my skull
There’s a chord that’s ringing for me
It’s that of life. And death.

Rebirth, rebirth
We’re all born again
And again and again
It’s all one big circle my friend

And we’ve been this place before
Every time you live you live some more
That’s what all this jamming is for

And we have seen the procession
And witnessed the cyclical nature of time
We sit here waiting patiently
Waiting for the next one

Due Time

Hi, what will it be today?
I really just want to stay
Me, the only thing I can be
Free, just have to pay the fee
These days costs a fortune
So, what’s it worth?
The mistake in the assumption that’s made things worse
This song I will rehearse

There’s a threat to us all connected
Like the tide we rise and fall protected
We think we are, from the danger and many changes
Will reveal that there’s nothing real until you think and feel

I can’t think a single way that I can be deceived of this fact
Can you look me in the eyes and tell me that your soul is all black?
We must strive for this misinformation to be taken all back

There’s a thread through us all, connected
Like the tide we rise and fall, protected
We think we are, from the danger and many changes
Will reveal that there’s nothing real until we think and feel
