Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
I would rather the firestorms of atmospheres
Than this cruel descent from a thousand years of dream
Into the starkness of this capsule
And two of our crew still lie suspended cool in their tubes of sleep
The nagging choirs of memory
The tubes and wires worming from their flesh to machinery
I would have to cut
Such midwifery is but one function of the leader here
He's floating in a sack of fluid dark or clear
Sanctuary of space away from Earth
One man stares from the trauma of his birth
ย
Attending to the hypno-tapes assuring him
This was reality, however grim
Oh, our journey's end
ย
Landing itself was nothing
We touched upon a shelf of rock
Selected by the auto-mind
And left the galaxy of dreams behind
And it's all a fable for fountains now
It's all a fable for fountains now
It's all a fable for fountains now
All your childhood dreams are all a fable
For fountains now
For fountains now
Now now
Now now now now
Fountains, fountains
All caught up in fountains, fountains
All a fable for fountains now
Come on
Just so I'll die
ย
Just think, Billy, now
When you're looking into eyes
You're looking at your own reflection
ย
And all you see is your disguise
You wear for your own protection
So don't go telling me that you know just when to stop
When to stop
You know you go over the top
Over the top
It's over the top
Over the top
Hey, it's going over the top
Over the top
Over the top
Oh, right here it goes
ย
In 1916
They dug the trenches
We don't need them
We have our own defenses
We don't need no officers
To blow no whistle and scream
Come on, you guys
We've got that of your dream
And follow me
'Cause I'm going over the top
Over the top
Follow me over the top
Here goes now
Your country needs you
Hey, Kitchener
Don't you know that mustaches went out with the Beatles?
ย
Give me white feather
Give me white feather
Give me white feather
Hung up on the wire
Give me white feather
Give me white feather
Give me white feather
Hung up on the wire
Hung up on the wire
Strung above wire
Strung above wire
ย
Goodbye, genocide
Goodbye, boys
