Patterns Of Power - Gruff Rhys

Inner circles and the patterns of power

The dead epicenter

And ruined extremes

Spinning cycles and a crisis of conscience

Of circular cycles

Amoral disease

The aim to please pulsates the complex of pleasure

We buried the treasure

And serpents arose

And hear the salary men tapping at keyboards

Innumerable midnights devoted to death

Kids are dying and I’m drinking champagne

The patterns of power

A patchwork of pain

I’m on fire and you’re drinking champagne

The patters of power

Again and again

And all our eyes will roll in unison swiftly

As packaging opens

And void is revealed

But still we dream

And so we should with our whisper

Prepare all our bellows for new year balloons

Kids are dying and I’m drinking champagne

The patterns of power

A patchwork of pain

I’m on fire and you’re drinking champagne

The patterns of power

Again and again

Inner circles and the patterns of power

The dead epicenter

And ruined extremes
