The Cleansing Lyrics by Peter Perrett

The Cleansing

2024

Lost at sea
Following your dreams
Dedication to the cause
Comes with the territory
Sophistry, fiendish alchemy
All that's left to aim for -
'Terminal Lucidity'

Do your purgatorial duty
Before you can go
Transition to a better place
You can't wait for a 'better place'

You're looking so good
Looking so clean
Look to the future
Don't know where it's been
I'm just wondering where it's been

I still don't know
I still don't know

You tried to spread your wings
Became a frequent flyer
Burned up on re-entry
Just another dead survivor

You may say "what's the point?"
After a game of 'do or die'
Nothing ventured, nothing lost
Shot you with formaldehyde

They prepared your body for the wake
Well dressed and clean
But, that ain't the way you lived your life
As a rogue machine

Looking so cool
Laid out on a slab
They think it's so cool
But they don't know where it's at

Now you left the Old World
Bye-bye all those dreams
Welcome to the Afterlife
What did it all mean?

But I still don't know
But I still don't know

But I still don't know where the spirit goes
When the body's cold, and I still don't know
