Lyrics Carcass – A Wraith In The Apparatus
Text:
Little boy cries wolf for he cannot see
The emperor’s new clothes syndrome
This diabolical transparency
Transitional seasonal change
Another reign another dogma
Another shibboleth passes away
Harmless or nefrarious
A gilded new church
A false god to worship
Blind acceptance with no repentance
A jaded new church
A false deity to service
God save the king
Send out succour
There’s a wraith in the apparatus
Long live the king
Genuflect before this mammon
A false idol to revere
A corrupt church of the blind
Cathedral of idiocrasy
A malfunctioning mechanism
A new hymn of praise to sing
But I serve only the true monarch
God save the king
A bewitching ritual to seduce you all
Apocryphal church a false god to worship
Fallacious disingenuous
Lords of the illusional new church
Pre fabricated pope to service
God save the king
Send out succour
There’s a wraith in the apparatus
Long live the king
Repent
Necessity is the smotherer of all invention
God save the king
Send out succour
There’s a wraith in the apparatus
God save
