    "DARK MATTER"

    Steal the light from our eyes
    Drain the blood from our hearts
    In all of this dark matter
    Take the breath from our chest
    Break the thoughts in our mind
    We're losing time, dark matter

    Denounce the demigods
    King diamond to discard
    Deploy the dialogue
    Your word against the law

    It's strange these days
    When everybody else pays
    For someone else's mistake
    This blame takes shape
    Still everybody else pays
    For someone else's mistake

    Eroding away
    We're pulling apart
    In all of this dark matter
    I once heard it said
    And it stuck in my head
    Arrested the press
    No one knows what happened next

    Renounce the demagogues
    King diamond to discard
    Deploy the dialogue
    Your word against the law

    It's strange these days
    When everybody else pays
    For someone else's mistake
    This blame takes shape
    Still everybody else pays
    For someone else's mistake

    No tolerance for intolerance or
    No patience left for impatience no more
    No love lost for
    Lost loves
    No sorrow for
    The unaccountable

    It's strange these days
    When everybody else pays
    For someone else's mistake
    This blame takes shape
    Still everybody else pays
    For someone else's mistake

    (Thanks, LizJ.)
    The lyrics now show up on my I-phone when I stream it on Apple music and the above is 100% correct.  Nice job!  Now what does this song actually mean?
    Yes, if you look above in the thread, you'll see that the final lyrics came from Apple Music when LizJ pointed out that they had been published there. My final draft was not anywhere near 100 percent correct. Once the official lyrics were available, I replaced my draft in the original post with the actual lyrics. I deserve no credit for actually deciphering them. I still had them saying "lick the dirt off Olajuwon's feet." :)
    lol!  Yes I see that now.  Shame on me for not reading the entire thread.  She posted the lyrics from Apple music on 2/13 but I did not actually see them until yesterday 2/17.  I would press the lyric button and nothing would show up until 2/17.  At least I thought I was pressing the lyric button.  Who knows what I was doing wrong.  I was like how in the world did he figure all of that out?  This all took me back to the pre-internet days of the early 90's when some of the lyrics were provided in the cassette tape but a lot of them you were on your own.

    Getting the lyrics would be the main factor in purchasing previously!
    I was swimming in the Great Barrier Reef 
    Animals were hiding behind the Coral 
    Except for little Turtle
    I could swear he's trying to talk to me

    It's gonna mean something different to all of us. Now that I have added my perspective of meaning to the words, I like the song more. Question is: What does it mean to you?

    Seems the lyrics on Amazon Music are different than the ones on Apple.

    According to Amazon

    1. Steal the lights from our eyes
    2. Take my blood from my heart
    3. We're in all of this dark matter
    4. Take the breaths from my chest
    5. Take the pulse and I'm outta line
    6. We're losing time, dark matter
    7. Denounce the demagogues
    8. King diamond to discard
    9. Deplore the dialogue
    10. Your word against the law
    11. It's strange these days
    12. When everybody else pays
    13. For someone else's mistake
    14. This blame takes shape
    15. Still everybody else pays
    16. For someone else's mistake
    17. You're running away
    18. We're pulling apart
    19. In all of this dark matter
    20. I once heard a sin
    21. And now it's stuck in my head
    22. Or is it the press?
    23. No one knows what happens next
    24. Renounce the demigods
    25. King diamond to discard
    26. Deplore the dialogue
    27. Your word against the law
    28. It's strange these days
    29. When everybody else pays
    30. For someone else's mistake
    31. This blame takes shape
    32. Still everybody else pays
    33. For someone else's mistake
    34. No tolerance for intolerance, intolerance for-
    35. No patience left for impatience no more
    36. No love lost for lost loves
    37. No sorrow for the unaccountable
    38. ...
    39. It's strange these days
    40. When everybody else pays
    41. For someone else's mistake
    42. This blame takes shape
    43. Still everybody else pays
    44. For someone else's mistake

    The Apple lyrics seem correct compared to Amazon

    It's almost as if Amazon took the lyrics from the early drafts we had in this thread.

    The only way to get to the bottom of this is that the Ten Club needs to overnight a copy of the album with the lyrics book to me, and I'll immediately report back to the group with what I find there.

    Spotify lyrics are different as well. They dave "denounce" twice whereas apple has, and I clearly hear "renounce" the second time. Spoitify also says "came down into discord". I don't think any of the 3 "official lyrics" are the official lyrics. Do they get

    Spotify definitely seems off. There’s a few times I know what they have is wrong with certainty

    Sounds so much like when they were against the “unvaxxed” and made a song. Yikes

    Yeah, the Amazon ones definitely seem off.  Once the album is released, I'm sure the official lyrics will either be posted here, or at least in the liner notes, so it will be good to see what they actually are.  It's fun trying to decipher, though.
