Repeat After Me
by Johnny Kongos
Lyric video: Daniel Kongos
Factors of nine, reduced over time Chasing them primes, and counting rhymes Facing the east, bread without yeast Blind faith in the priests, and fear of some beast
Breaking of bread, eating the dead Bowing my head, Gold out of Lead Wearing the veil, seeking the grail Wall where you wail, and musical scales
Candles are burned, incantations are learned Ashes in urns, and prophets return Adam and Eve, three days to grieve Stoned if you don't believe, only fuck to conceive
But it’s so hard to sign my own surrender So hard to do what I’ve intended So hard to leave what I've defended So hard to separate what's blended
If I could breathe, I’d be free And I'd get high, I’d turn water to wine
If I could be, I’d breathe free at last And I'd get high, I’d get so high I'd get so high, if I could breathe
Five sided stars, buried or burned to a char Fashion as law, and nailing trinkets to doors One hundred and eight, commanded to procreate Fasting for forty days, and death if you desecrate
Two Thousand and Twelve, ringing bells Nine circles of hell, division by three And seven, you see
Repeat, repeat after me, repetition is key Repeat after me, repetition is key
