Description
This is a difficult one to explain. I suppose you could say that it's what happens when too much Buddhist/Sufi/Gnostic and other esoteric reading combine with listening to Neutral Milk Hotel. This is essentially a ballad about our own struggles with the ego and all the untruths we inadvertently project- how notions of peace and love can be transformed into negative actions and states of (false) being such as hate, greed, and war. The story is told through the person who has been fooled into committing their being to such un-realities. A modern hierophant, speaking with the voice of God but forgetting all the words, and destroying truth by so doing. Oh yeah and with strange ambient noise in the mix as well (the purpose is to sound like jets or missiles (and radar as well) illustrating the folly of humanity's genius being used in the service of madness. Hope you dig it.

Lyrics
High Tech Savant
embryonic
modern heirophant
speaking with the voice of God
but forgetting all the words
as Creation comes undone.
Call it Karma's spinning wheel
Samsara rain falls
on Railroad Earth
Railroad Earth below.
All things must exist in balance
yin-yang
call it what you want.
solitary man
with a rifle in his hand
it's a one-way ticket
to his Promised Land
but he's already dead.
