lyrics

a) Knights
b) Rebellion Trap
c) Angels

^Knights are dead on the way to the grail^
An ominous preface to a pointless tale
No blues in the shadows
No swing in the gallows
Not through the words still
Swear as fear sets in
With every shiver of a shin
^^/entering basso lamento four step chromatic descent/^^

Heart was a black box recovered from a crush
It took them three years to decipher what went on inside they said I was struggling
I was struggling I was struggling so hard
Made them wonder how I kept my mind
How did he know it was gonna be alright

Caught up in this rebellion trap for so long
But it can wait
Trying to get to your happy camp for so long
But it can take
In the woods
in the gutter
there it lay
Not to be found again until God sent his angels
to roam the lands
But the angels were struggling
They were struggling so hard
He made them look for something so fard to find
Don't they know it's gonna be alright
Don't they know, don't they know
^^^that you only learn how to save love
when you lose it alltogether
You learn how to spell love
Don't you lose it
Keep it together^^^

credits

from References, Reflections: Revelations, released October 25, 2019
^Claude Debussy's diss of Richard Wagner's 'Der Ring des Nibelungen' as stated in his biography 'Painter in Sound' by Stephen Walsh (Faber & Faber, 2018)

^^In the chaconne style of the florentine masters; here referring to 'Crucifixus' from B-Minor Mass by Johann Sebastian Bach or 'Simple Twist of Fate' by Bob Dylan (Columbia, 1975) or numerous others before, in between and after, from Gesualdo to Portishead

^^^Chord progression similar to 'Unchained Melody' by Alex North ('Unchained' movie soundtrack, 1955) while drums preferably render 'American Pie' by Don McLean (UAR, 1971)

/credits + notes/ This one was meant to be sang with Irena Žilić from the start. The pompous a)b)c) title is a direct tribute to Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation closing piece. Brane played drums, Neven and Nara guitars and bass respectively. Epic chord progressions and basso lamento unchain and explain the melodic finale. Sorry for this. Self-indulging bs.
