Lyrics

[Verse 1] I often dream of huge, numb buildings Jet-black, sinister architecture Being installed when nobody sees Their appearance so sudden That few would take notice [Verse 2] And when I wake up I imagine being crushed by one Imagining its weight, its silence And the absence of excuses for a havoced life And the privilege of a 22-kilometer tombstone [Hook] Jotun [Chorus] A body of black That carried no reflection Defying its own room Un-earthly eggs of decreation [Verse 3] There would be colonies Mushroom-scattered, forever out of context Rising spores from a dying world To pollute, to chase away what's left [Bridge] Sun-white, pulverized desert stone And serpentine lizard mouths Pales away the pyramids Rewriting 4,500 years of history [Verse 4] Raping the statue of liberty Outplays the acropolis Inverting the fjords Invades the N.Y. skyline to Dream its own existence in one single final word [Hook] Jotun [Chorus] A body of black That carried no reflection Defying its own room Un-earthly eggs of decreation [Chorus] A body of black That carried no reflection Defying its own room Un-earthly eggs of decreation [Verse 5] Can we identify them As the flint buried in our reptile skulls Or the time-bomb coded in our DNA [Hook] Jotun [Chorus] A body of black That carried no reflection Defying its own room Un-earthly eggs of decreation
