Weekly Ludi #19

Weekly Ludi #19 is a slow dirge-like “neo-prog” piece about selling oneself out for filthy lucre...which most of us HAVE to do on some level, but some people take to it far more than others. This song is about them.

Hello...do you remember me?
I was your conscience before the fall.
Here before the forgetting,
before all this living buried it all.
Sold your soul to illusions,
the blinding desires of fortune and fame.
Forgot all your true passions,
the visions that led you before you became
the Whore of Babylon.
Control and the will to power
claimed you like an addict, a moth to a flame.
Trapped by the chains of consumption,
the machine of commerce, that gave you this name:
the Whore of Babylon.
