Blue Oyster Cult - In The Presence Of Another World

"In The Presence of Another World" by "Blue Oyster Cult" from the "Imaginos" album


lyrics:
In the presence of another world
You guess the things unguessed
In the fullness of another world
There is no emptiness

In the promise of another world
A dreadful knowledge comes
How even space can modulate
And earthly things be done

Your master he's a monster
He will come on a bridge of paper
Inscribed with a hundred names of god
But he can count one more
The curse of life eternal
Written on the door

Your master.....he's a monster
Your master.....he's a monster
Your master.....he's a monster

In the presence of another world
A dreadful knowledge comes
How even space can modulate
And earthly things be done

In the fullness of another world
There is no emptiness

Your master.....your master is a monster
Your master.....born of a yolkless egg
Your master.....he has dominion over animals
Your master.....he walks the world entrail diviner
Your master.....and when the stars are right
Your master.....he locks the door behind the door behind the door
Your master.....the milky way abyss inclines
Your master.....the seven years of labor for the instruments of time
Your master.....the seven years of labor for the instruments of time
Your master.....the seven years of labor for the instruments of time
Your master.....the seven years of labor for the instruments of time

Your master is a monster
And gentlemanly too
He'll make for us some new germ
With pieces of the perfect black
The alpha and omega
The double peaks of mars
The maze of his infinity
The buried city
In the stars

Awesome album!Do they play any of this live these days?

[moloch1349]

yes they do

[carrienurse]

This intro makes me want to climb the cliff walls of Dracula's castle...

[moloch1349]

hahaha

[groovyastrodude]

Wow... the last couple minutes of this song make me want to curl up in a fetal position and cry softly. So creepy... And so good. Incidentally, anyone know who was enlisted to do the weird voices at the end? Most don't sound like members of the BOC.

Better people to buy from ;^)

[5380fabio]

One of my favourite song.

[sevenismagicman]

have they ever performed the 88 imaginos version of astronomy live? i have not seen any ytube recording of it. it would be shocking if they didn't, as big of a radio hit as it was!

[TheWaterEchoes]

I have a partial list of the "Shocking U" backing vocalists line-up somewhere. featured more extensively on the original Albert mix (let's ont forget the album was originally intended as his solo effort), they basically consist of assistant engineers and Al's friends. the creepy female voice is easily recognisable as Helen Robbins a/k/a Helen Wheels

hay que mamarselo a BOC!

[milkkart]

holy fucking shit, BOC and lovecraft. its so perfect.

(btw did anyone else look at where it says cult in the logo and read it as 'shite' with the bottom cut off? spent like ten seconds staring at it going wtf before i figured out what it was.)

[HallPassExpired]

Damn!!!! its a shame this band didnt get airplay in the late 80's.. This song Cranks!!!! been a huge fan going back to '76 and seen them several times..

[bigblockelectra]

this album needs to be remastered, maybe not a physical release, but at the very least a remaster and an online re-release through itunes or amazon or something

[mus1cat]

If you read the storyline, there is a similarity to Lost, specifically Jacob vs the Man In Black.

Physically, look at the album cover (back art) and then go back and watch the beach scene between those two characters looking out at the ship on the horizon and listen to their dialogue.

Wanted to hear a masterpiece ? There you go
