lyrics

[Intro: Computerized voice]
They will come to realize that for a few moments they believed in something extraordinary, & may be driven as a result to seek out some more intense mode of existence.

[Verse 1]
Nowadays these kids don't know the meaning of savage, it's just a slang term.
I speak the ancient scrolls, awaken the fanged worm.
No heaven, hell, just a portal to the netherrealm,
passage for the scourge when you hear the sound of 7 bells.
Ding dong, the pitchfork is 3-pronged,
just like the trident of Poseidon, the sea god.
You been trying to find him? You seek god?
Don't sleep on Ik Onkar, the Sikh god.
You can see god, as above, so below.
It's all one: the lamb, the dove, the crow, the goat.
Beelzebub, Astaroth & the holy ghost,
visions of opium eaters during an overdose.
Put your faith in 4 decades of technology
before 3 centuries of Aztec knowledge? E-
clipses & solstices, perfected astronomy,
which one do you privilege? Picture the hypocrisy.

[Chorus 1]
Immortal subconscious beyond the walls of sleep,
was that a whisper on the breeze or the autumn leaves?
There's gotta be more than what the science laws perceive,
I caught the disease: I want to believe.
I want to believe, I want to believe,
I want to believe in the prana, the chi,
the state of transcendence the shaman achieves,
I want to believe, I want to believe.

[Verse 2]
Gifted with the mystic equipment to rip the rivets
out the thin division between this existence & the limitless.
But the peril inherent in tearing barriers down
is you might not handle awareness well & just flip your shit.
The mind boggles when the line wobbles,
sky topples when the genie's not confined to the wine bottles.
Sip a mug of moonglow instead of moonshine,
feel them goosebumps, you know it's a real stein.
Shadows climb up aluminum siding,
suburban sunsets--you wonder what they're hiding.
A frail blue dot strewn with humans surviving,
mystery makes this mediocre ruin exciting.
Tobe Hooper, Wes Craven & Romero,
supernatural transformation & the tarot,
burnt offerings, swimming pools turn to choppy seas
for Oliver Reed--I want to believe.

[Chorus 2]
Immortal subconscious beyond the walls of sleep,
was that a whisper on the breeze or the autumn leaves?
There's gotta be more than what physical laws perceive,
hypnotic odysseys, I want to believe.
I want to believe, I want to believe,
I want to believe in the prophet of Thebes,
unexplained forces flattening crops into rings,
I want to believe, I want to believe.
I want to believe, I want to believe,
I want to believe, cryptozoological beasts,
dinosaurs in unexplored pockets of sea,
I want to believe, I want to believe.
I want to believe, I want to believe,
I want to believe both agnostics & priests,
I can't describe Heidegger the philosopher's tree,
but I want to believe, I want to believe.
