lyrics
Jill:
We’d experiment and play in dimensions far away
But a toll was being taken on our minds
We didn’t notice for so long but bit by bit things they went wrong
And in our ardor had ignored important signs
We were cracking but the worst was pure Asha who broke first
little tics has multiplied and piled up
til at last she broke its true, we didn’t know what we should do
and the days of innocence were finally done
sometimes i dream magazines, smiling starlets
glamour and haze how they wave from the days that are now long since swept
dazzle and shine, lost lives once upon a memory
til sad old ladies alone in a dark home is all that is left
Michael:
It’s been weeks since the gnome war
Jill:
Weeks, it’s been months
Lloyd:
Jill, Michael, it’s been years, we’ve been here for years
Jill:
I think somethings happening to our minds
Michael:
have you noticed our tics are...
Raven:
come quick, its Asha
Jill:
Asha!
Lloyd:
Asha!
Michael:
What’s happening?
Jill:
It’s a seizure. Make sure she doesn’t bang her head
Lloyd:
We should get her to a hospital.
Raven:
Her seizure is causing a small reality storm around her. Look.
Michael:
It’s stopping
Lloyd:
Asha, are you okay?
Asha:
you try and try, you try the best you can, you try...... the best.... best...
Jill:
we need William
Raven:
how do we even call him
Lloyd:
I’m going to find him and bring him back
Jill:
Lloyd, the places he goes, its too dangerous
Asha:
Best you can... best you can...
Lloyd:
I’d die for her. Happily. i’d die for any of you. I’m going.
Raven:
Lloyd, i beg you, i’ll go mad without you
Michael:
David, he’s right. We need William. He has to do it.
Jill:
Good luck.
.....
Michael:
David wasn’t kidding, he’s going crazy without Lloyd.
Jill:
William warned us not to stay here any longer. He said itd mess with our minds. I think we’ve changed in ways we can unchange. David’s not even David anymore. He’s raven all the time now.
Michael:
i wonder how Lloyd’s faring
Jill:
Oh no, Asha’s having another seizure.
.....
Michael:
David, are you okay?
Raven:
my minds unraveling and I’m spiraling and unfurled
Without Lloyd all is existential isolation
I crave for sex and wild abandonment, to scream
and drown myself in chaos and hyper stimulation
Only noise and mad indulgence can disguise
My slow descent from tears to empty degradation
And all i’ll ever know is desperation as
I try to find distraction to avoid stagnation
When the story of your life becomes unfurled
And you find that it was just a fabrication
And all you loved or thought you had or thought you lost
Was just an exercise in baseline exploitation
Whatever hero’s noble journey that you’re on
Is just a drunken run from tears to degradation
And all you’ll ever know is desperation as
You try to find distraction to avoid stagnation
Michael:
We’re all unravelling its all, becoming so unfurled
our paradise is crashing into desolation
We lived in Eden full of love and full of dreams
and now its capsizing in bombs of desolation
Jill:
We’re all unravelling its all, becoming so unfurled
our paradise is crashing into desolation
We lived in Eden full of love and full of dreams
and now its capsizing in bombs
Jill & Michael:
We had love and the groove
we had mojo and moves
we knew Eden for just a short time
and now its all crashing down
paradise spinning round
requiem for the time of our lives
Michael:
Transcendent stupendous hyperdelic consensus
We got the groove movin through in our hearts
We’re shaman in lands past where last signposts stand
We got the love holding us in our hearts our hearts
Jill:
But at long last Lloyd returned
With William looking so concerned
And he took Asha, cradled her within his arms
He said i’ll take her now with me
He said im going to try and see
If i can heal her if she hasn’t gone too far
He said its time you all must leave
You must go back to level three
Find some narratives and get your heads aligned
The time will come for you at last
To set upon the higher paths
But for now you all must rest and stabilize
All (sadly):
Comin with the love and the groove we got mojo and moves
We got magic like you’ve never seen
We got wild things all happenin’,you cannot imagined
We got love and we got us a dream
Jill:
Sometimes i dream magazines, smiling starlets
glamour and haze how they wave from days that are now long since swept
dazzle and shine, lost lives once upon a memory
til sad old ladies alone in a dark home is all that is left
Cama’s attempt to commune with higher beings failed; she only found Decadent Dottie. Together they roamed, indulging in
dangerous forms of psycho-neural self-exploration which Cama hoped would present the key to her people’s further evolution. It only led to her destroying her people so that one of their pets could evolve. She sat in her former civilization's rubble and listened to Paul Shapera....more

This is a great adaptation of Arthuriana and a brilliant narrative album. I love how the queerness of the characters is handled as an integral part of the narrative and plot development without it being the end all be all of the characters themselves. my boy Gawain deserved better though maritarvaniti
