In the Kingdom of the Blind the One-Eyed Are Kings - Dead Can Dance

The Serpent's Egg (1988), 4AD/Warner Bros. Records.

If it were within, within our power
Beyond the reach of slavish pride
To no longer harbour grievances
Behind the mask's opportunist's facade
We could welcome the responsibility
Like a long lost friend
And re-establish the laughter
In the dolls house once again
For time has imprisoned us in the order of our years
In the discipline of our ways
And in the passing of momentary stillness
We can see our chaos in motion, our chaos in motion
We can see our chaos in motion
View our chaos in motion

[nwilson2015]

what type of music is it?

[lizardale]

@nwilson2015 I think we can talk about "ethereal wave", "ambient" and "neoclassical". But DCD simply came from another world.

[LukeSkywalkerInMe]

this music saved my life...

Thanks Brendan and Lisa

i can understand , yet , i understood the whole song without any aids from chemicals from outside , byt through a long process of training my conciousness to atain higher level of tuning , no addictions , no bad side effects , and yes it takes more that just puff it to attain such conciousness , but then again you can call it by will when you ARE able to be there , at any time.

[robhartjr1993]

This and 'The Carnival is Over' are my favorite DCD songs.

I want this played at my funeral.

[marycatherinedarden]

this means so much more when i am under the influence of cannabis. i can truly understand this much better on a deep level.

I'm addicted to this song. The best addiction ever. (together with Ulver's cover)

[locomotifx]

One of my favourite songs & I'd forgotten it until it was in an acrostics-fan Latina's likes on my homepage or whatever it's called. Thanks if you read, M. ☺t
