S.a.l.t. Lyrics - The Orb

Did you ever get the felling you're being followed? 

Are you not familiar with the Revelations of St.John 

The final book of the Bible, prophesied the apocalypse 

He forced everyone to receive a mark on his right hand 

Or on his forehead so that no one shall be able 

To buy or sell unless he has that mark 

Which is the name of the beast and the number of his name 

And the number of the beast is '6 6 6' 

What can such a specific prophecy mean? 

What is the mark? 

Well, the mark is the bar-code 

The ubiquitous bar-code that you'll find on every bog roll 

And every packet of Johnnies and every poxy-pork-pie 

And every bar-code is divided into two parts by three markers 

And those three markers are always represented by the number six 

'6 6 6'

And what does it say? 

No one shall be able to buy or sell without that mark 

And now what they're planning to do 

In order to eradicate all credit card fraud 

And in order to precipitate a totally cashless society? 

What they're planning to do 

And they've already tested it on the American troops 

They're gonna subcutaneously laser-tattoo 

That mark onto your right hand or onto your forehead 

They're going to replace plastic with flesh, fact 

In the same book of Revelations 

When the Seven Seals are broken open on the Day of Judgment 

And the seven angels blow their trumpets 

When the third angel blows her trumpet 

Wormwood will fall from the sky 

And wormwood will poison a third part of all the waters 

And a third part of all the land and many, many, many people will die 

Photos 

And you know what the Russian translation of wormwood is? 

Chernobyl, fact 

On August the 18th, 1999 

The planets of our solar system 

Are going to line up into the shape of a cross 

They're going to line up in the big signs 

Of Aquarius, Leo, Taurus and Scorpio 

Which just happen to correspond 

To the four beasts of the apocalypse 

As mentioned in the book of Daniel, another fact 

Do you think that the amoeba ever dreamed 

That it would evolve into the frog? 

And when that first frog shimmied out of the water 

And employed its vocal chords in order to attract a mate 

[Incomprehensible] a predator 

Do you think that that frog ever imagined 

That incipient croak would evolve 

Into all the languages of the world 

Into all the literature of the word, possibly? 

And just as that froggie could never have possibly 

Conceived of Shakespeare 

So we can never possibly imagine our destiny 

Look, if you take the whole of time represented by one year 

But only in the first few moments of the 1st of January 

It's a long way to go 

And no, we're not going to sprout extra limbs and wings and things 

Because evolution itself is evolving 

When it comes, the apocalypse itself will be a part of the process 

Of that leap of evolution 

By the very definition of Apocalypse 

Mankind must cease to exist, at least in a material form 

We'll have evolved into something that transcends matter 

Into a species of pure thought, are you with me?
