Beyond the Firmament
Further Up and Further In x4
Beyond our beige world
No more monotonal greys
True colours shall unfurl
No more mundane days
No more tepid excuses
For mediocre existence
Beyond the firmament!

Beige World

Politics is the art of postponing a decision until it is no longer relevant – Henri Queuille
Stupid nationalistic pride
Tell my son he should have died
Because his accent is different to you
But here was born here too
Stoopid nationalistic pride
This outsider has got no-where to hide
Flip me the bird
This is so absurd
Xenophobic bus ride
I can’t stand your white pride
Hateful, divisive, and unkind
It just has to die
Hyper Patriotic Shuttle Ride
We’re gonna conquer space with our national pride
Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel – Samuel Johnson
Nationalism is an infantile disease, it is the measles of mankind – Albert Einstein

Make Britain Grey
Keep Britain Grey x4
We are reds & blues & yellows
But our favourite colour is grey
It keeps the people mellow
And it’s easy to maintain
Make Britain Grey
Dead nanny state
Keep Britain Grey
Speed up decay
We the political elite
Keep the people on their knees
Our methodology is misery
No place for philanthropy
When a person has no soul
There’s no value in their goals
Monotone stupor
uniform of the future
End vibrancy and then
Make Britain Grey, again
Complicit - Duplicitous
Progressive - Compromise

Through my door
Such a bore
Manilla dread
Wrecks my head
Bureaucracy
Bureaucracy
Bureaucracy!
Above my pay grade
Don’t ask me
More than my jobsworth
Can’t you see
Form 1B
Form 1B
Form 1B
You need to submit a Form 1B!

Beyond The Firmament

This world is dark and grey
This world can be cold and lonely
We’re stuck in the day to day
We’re stuck in the mundane
In days of action and distraction
The colours drain, there’s no passion
We search for a technicolour home
But all we find is monochrome
Beyond
Beyond
Beyond the firmament
We’re building towers to the sky
Constructed on falsehoods and lies
Of course they always tumble down
Then we wonder where life can be found
In hopes of reciprocity
We deny our complicity
Avoiding any searching light
We hide from our own moral blight
Beyond
Beyond
Beyond the firmament
Lift your heart and lift your hands
Life your head and lift your gaze
We must look, beyond the firmament
There is love and there is life
There is hope and there is light
Beyond, beyond the firmament
Life your voice, lift your eyes
To the saviour there on high
We must go, beyond the firmament
There is love and there is life
There is hope and there is light
Beyond, beyond the firmament
Beyond, beyond the firmament
