Lyrics (unofficial)

Life is a sentence (dream of ten thousand years more)
Death's a guarantee (long, long, long centuries)
Men behave like beasts
At least the women all can see

And not some neo-clan
Pumping out DMT
Even the odds are crushing
(Listen to my advice)
Oddly I'm not even sure

The world swirls in space
The face of God you saw
Dream of chrome and nothing more
The wind, the wind across the plains
(...in the distance, the sea...)
Typhoon out at sea
No one at the helm
Overwhelmed by your duty
And finally you'll be set free
[Maniacal laughter with coughing]
