I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
You'll need a bit of Holy water
And a little bit of
Knowledge
Invocation
To your Holy Guardian Angel
The Great Evil Around
God gave man dominion
Over fowls of the air
And fish of the see
Justification of desecration
Who wrote this madness?
Get UP! Wake UP!
Some-one's taking you for a ride
Get UP! Wake UP!
Dark Forces
They're printing up money
That doesn't exist
Then watch the wealthy
As they cash their chips
Economy's failed
Start a war machine
Devoid of moral cause
As we witness the end
Of international laws
Get UP! Wake UP!
Some-one's taking you for a ride
Get UP! Wake UP!
Dark Forces
I'm a inside man
Of the serpent clan
33 degrees
I'll do as I please
Power for power's sake
And 2 weeks off
In bohemian grove...
You wanna come?
All the banking houses
That buy and sell
They'd sell their own mother..
Just eat shit die
Like everyone else
Get UP! Wake UP!
Some-one's taking you for a ride
Get UP! Wake UP!
Dark Forces
Get UP! Wake UP!
Some-one's taking you for a ride
Get UP! Wake UP!
Dark Forces
And a little bit of
Knowledge
Invocation
To your Holy Guardian Angel
The Great Evil Around
God gave man dominion
Over fowls of the air
And fish of the see
Justification of desecration
Who wrote this madness?
Get UP! Wake UP!
Some-one's taking you for a ride
Get UP! Wake UP!
Dark Forces
They're printing up money
That doesn't exist
Then watch the wealthy
As they cash their chips
Economy's failed
Start a war machine
Devoid of moral cause
As we witness the end
Of international laws
Get UP! Wake UP!
Some-one's taking you for a ride
Get UP! Wake UP!
Dark Forces
I'm a inside man
Of the serpent clan
33 degrees
I'll do as I please

Get UP! Wake UP!

Get UP! Wake UP!
Some-one's taking you for a ride
Get UP! Wake UP!

Be sure to read Nixon's quote, and the part about non-men getting kicked off the property by 10pm. "Someone's taking you for a ride" gets an ENTIRELY different meaning.
Not that I care what rich old queers do--I'm not straight, but I'm not exactly hiding behind invented money or the hedges of a country club, either.
Ya wanna cum?
This one is pretty obvious, this song is about the "Illuminati" conspiracy theory. The line about the "serpent clan" is talking about the "Cult of the Serpent", which is supposedly related to the reptilians, and has many big named people involved. The part about the "33 degrees" is referring to the 33rd degree in the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, and the part about "And 2 weeks off in bohemian grove" is about the encampment that includes some of the most powerful men in the world, where they host the controversial "Cremation of Care" ceremony. look it up.
Strike the part about the serpent clan being about the "reptilian" conspiracy theories, I'm not certain if that is what he is referring to there.<br /> <br /> Jaz Coleman is very deep in to conspiracy theories lately.
Am I the only person who pisses themselves laughing when Jaz says 'and two weeks off in Bohemian Grove....you wanna come ?' ;-))
