about

This song is a NONGO/RayonBase collab. It is about the boundary between death and life. What if there was just a curtain separating the afterlife from reality? If you could go there and back, would you see what the world’s religions tell you is there? Or is there no substance to their orthodoxy?

lyrics

Ancient sages
Long lost saints
Silent and forgotten
Wormy and so rotten
Ancient sages
Long lost saints
Covered now in rust
Mouths are gagged with dust
Oh paradigm is it original or archetype
Oh paradigm is it original or archetype
I see through all your lies oh
Send me now to the drawbridge of sighs
One more part of me dies ooooh
Send me now to the drawbridge of sighs
I see through all your lies oh
Send me now to the drawbridge of sighs
One more part of me dies ooooh
Send me now to the drawbridge of sighs
Ancient pages
Bloodless stains
Precious and forsaken
Never to awaken
Ancient pages
Bloodless stains
Relics made from bone
Rubrics set in stone
Oh paradigm is it original or archetype
Oh paradigm is it original or archetype
Ahhh
I see through all your lies oh
Send me now to the drawbridge of sighs
One more part of me dies ooooh
Send me now to the drawbridge of sighs
How sweet this life we have, think some
Other folks aim for the paradise to come
Dude take cash in hand forget the rest
808’s so loud you feel it in your chest
I sent my soul through the gates of death
Looking for the answers beyond our breath
Rocking my soul when it returned
Abraham poured chrism on the holy burns
You tempted me with sex and gin
Satan prowled about, and I could smell it
My soul was forfeit, if I would sell it
Ahhh
Is it original or archetype
Oh paradigm is it original or archetype
Oh paradigm is it original or archetype
I see through all your lies oh
Send me now to the drawbridge of sighs
One more part of me dies ooooh
Send me now to the drawbridge of sighs
I see through all your lies oh
Send me now to the drawbridge of sighs
One more part of me dies ooooh
Send me now to the drawbridge of sighs

RayonBase Saint Paul, Minnesota

RayonBase covers a lot of ground, musically, from Bach and Beethoven to Depeche Mode and hip-hop beats. Throw in a big-band jazz ensemble and garage quartet, while you are at it. He is a songwriter first, but owning the sound from front to back is important to him - so for these songs he is the producer, recording engineer, mixer, composer, keyboardist, guitarist, vocalist, and everything else. ... more
