lyrics
It is the world’s darkest hour
Dawn’s nowhere in sight
And the ones with the power have forgotten what’s right
The clambering hungry are five billion strong
And the ungrateful rich have been feeding them words
The workers are tired and it won’t be too long
Till the only job left will be scratching with birds
We need a solution and we need it soon
Or all that we stand for is utterly doomed!
Or so you tell me!
My day’s long gone, my arms are weak
My eyes are growing pale
No use to you, my hair gone white
These final years a jail
And now you need my help!
It’s wisdom you need from this worthless old man
Gray magic, charmed—a spell!
I’ll tell you:
It all goes on! It all goes on!
It all goes on! It all goes on!
From the fat and through the lean and high and low points in between
It all goes on! It all goes on!
It all goes on! It all goes on!
Across impossible despair and when your end is close at hand
All your efforts are vanity—nothing will change
Collective insanity—every man is deranged
The crystalline children are saddled with debt
And their future polluted by all that we’ve done
Times bleak as this the world never forgets
If we give up the fight then they’ve already won!
We need a reversal of fortune—a trick
Or we’ll fall on our swords and be cut to the quick
That’s what you tell me!
You put me here out of your way
Where I can’t bring you down
A tired antique of past ideals
That no one wants around
But now you need my help!
You beg for an answer this lonely old man
A secret incantation, well:
It all goes on! It all goes on!
It all goes on! It all goes on!
From ascent and through decline and past imagination’s peak
It all goes on! It all goes on!
It all goes on! It all goes on!
Across the years before your mind and when your struggle’s lost to time
It goes!

Recorded at home, Six Organs of Admittance's 21st album upholds Ben Chasny's reputation for experimental psych-folk excellence. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 25, 2024
Willowy electronic music from Marc Riordan constructed from pillowy tones and quiet atmospherics make for an absorbing listen. Bandcamp New & Notable May 2, 2021
Combining wry, cutting lyrics and whimsical arrangements, the Canadian art-rockers' latest is a tilt-a-whirl of a breakup album. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 14, 2019
