"The Amazing Kreskin" is the sixth track from Clutch's latest album, "Strange Cousins from the West."

I was surprised not to find an upload of this by now, as it's one of the best songs on the album, in my opinion. So, I took liberty upon myself to do the honors. Apparently the real Amazing Kreskin liked the song as well, as he insisted that he meet with the members of the band.

Do note, though, that I obviously did not create anything in this video. I simply combined the song and the cover art of the new album to create a familiar feel. If you like what you hear, you should check out your local Target, where "Strange Cousins from the West" is selling for $7.99, or another retail seller.

- Lyrics -
In the raining park, the chessmen play.
The faithful atheists, refuse to pray.
The steam-works weep, the addicts do not care.
Crowd of cold people, stand by and stare.

The garbage eaters, their many retainers.
Come to collect, all the foul remainders.
The smoke hangs heavy, the wrecking ball swings.
In the clockwork, of a collapsing thing.

Wasted plastic empires golden age, chemical wedding.
Citizens in their refineries, cheer the nuptial bedding.
The hourglass is turning, turning, turning, turning, turning.

On a shore of iron, cutters and clippers.
Paper rock, rock paper and scissors.
On a road of skulls, their story moves on.
Its a bumpy ride, and very, very, very long.

Wasted plastic empires golden age, chemical wedding.
Citizens in their refineries, cheer the nuptial bedding.
The hourglass is turning, turning, turning, turning, turning.

In the blue sky, the seagulls, fly over garbage.
In the blue sky, the seagulls, fly over garbage.
Are we the ocean? Are we the desert?
Are we the garbage? Who's to say?
Are we the ocean? Are we the desert?
Are we the garbage? Who's to say?


Wasted plastic empires golden age, chemical wedding.
Citizens in their refineries, cheer the nuptial bedding.
The hourglass is turning, turning, turning, turning, turning.
The hourglass is turning, turning, turning, turning, turning.

  • isn't this track 6?

    but yeah, love this song, i bought this album before driving back home for vacation. after listening through the album once, i had this song on repeat for the rest of the way.

  • It is. I had burned a copy of my preordered album and included "Metroliner Special" as the 5th track, which Minotaur followed at 6th and Kreskin at 7th. That's how it was originally intended to be, but they scrapped Metroliner from the album. Mistake on my behalf, forgot about the difference in mine. Good eye.

  • This tune is so fucking badass that God himself wishes he wrote it.

  • Awesome tune!

  • fucking nothing like Clutch man, no matter the time or the situation I can turn on any of their albums and it suits

  • 2:58 is when the spine starts to tremble, and i ejaculate at 3:11 when the base kicks in. Why isn´t this the new beatles??

  • And to think, that people nowadays listen to the shit songs like Justin Beiber, Hollywood undead, etc. When there is this good stuff.

  • Sleekstak lightning and this are the two songs I have on repeat atm.

    

  • god damn yea

  • completely and utterly badass

  • damn i love that riff
